"He's quite capable."
Li He thought about it and understood. Serbia was a golden route for smuggling into Europe. As long as there was a way, being a smuggler was a steady and profitable business. Charging 1,000 to 5,000 US dollars per stowaway, a boat that could carry 200 people, it was not difficult to make millions of US dollars a week.
What's more, a warlord like Matić was personally involved.
Smuggling in the Mediterranean was not the fisherman or boatman that everyone saw in the movies. This was a business that only smart people could do. They had to forget to eat and sleep, read newspapers, study European laws, and study the movements of the European Border Agency to find a way to smuggle a boat into Europe.
It had long formed an organized transnational industry chain.
Smuggling was a gamble that was hard to predict.
Relatively speaking, the Mediterranean was a narrow and calm bay. Although it was not easy for some stowaways from Africa and the Middle East, it often only took a few days to reach their destination.
But it was much worse for China to smuggle out.
Smuggling to the United States was still very popular at the moment. They would travel by land or water and spend several months traveling across half the world to reach the United States. Those who were more resourceful would use fake visas to enter the United States through Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, or even Africa. Then, they would keep a low profile.
In order to pursue a better life, both men and women, young and old, began to leave in waves. As long as one or two successfully left, their relatives and friends would continue to follow the old path.
Some people did it for survival, some for their ideals, and some wanted to see the outside world. It was hard to say what kind of feeling it was …
Overseas remittances were not only the main source of income for the family members of overseas Chinese, but also an important non-trade foreign exchange income for the country. It once accounted for a large proportion of the total foreign exchange income, of which Hu Jian and Guangzhou had the most.
In Li He's heart, as long as there was the ability, it would be good for more people to leave. Everything depended on competition.
"Yes, Mr. Li." Ivanov said, "This is a very good business."
Li He said in a deep voice, "Iron Ear, translate to him that you are not allowed to take advantage of the drug business."
The more he spoke, the more gloomy he became.
He already knew that Ivanov wasn't a good person. Although he didn't want to interfere, Ivanov was an important chess piece in the United States. He couldn't let him do anything bad.
Looking at Li He's face, Ivanov could feel Li He's coldness. Before Li He could finish translating, Ivanov waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, thanks to you, I'm now an upper-class person. I won't do that kind of thing! Don't worry! I will never touch it! "
He was a real estate tycoon who could do whatever he wanted in New York. How could he do something that would ruin his future?
What he didn't expect was that Li He, who had been gloomy a second ago, immediately smiled in the next second. Li He squatted down and picked up a piece of green radish that Wang Yulan had dried on the ground. He stuffed one into his mouth and chewed it. Then he picked up another piece and handed it to Ivanov. "Try it. It tastes good."
Ivanov didn't know what it was, but when he saw that Li He was swallowing it, he boldly swallowed it.
Originally, Shoushan and Zhou Ping wanted to cook for lunch. However, they couldn't resist Wang Yulan's eagerness and didn't have the chance to show off their skills.
In Wang Yulan's mind, there was no reason to let a guest cook in the kitchen. However, in the end, she still asked Zhou Ping and Fu Xia to help her.
There were a few tables in the yard and the living room. Some were playing mahjong, while others were playing cards. Out of courtesy, Yang Yong pulled Li Zhaokun to the mahjong table as well.
Li Zhaokun didn't hesitate. He had been itching for a long time.
Liu Lenovo smiled and said, "Uncle, how should we play? Should we light the cannon or not? Or should we rely on force? "
Every place had a different way of playing mahjong. He still wanted to ask for clarification. Meeting Li He in Hong Kong this time was secondary. His main goal was to get listed in Hong Kong through Shen Daoru's connections.
After the banquet last night, Shen Daoru had given him a guarantee. At that moment, he was in a good mood.
"Of course, light the cannon." Once he was at the mahjong table, Li Zhaokun's aura was different. He hung the cigarette in his mouth and rubbed his hands on the table. "Five yuan."
If someone said that he wasn't good at this or that, he would admit it. However, if someone said that he wasn't good at playing mahjong, he would never admit it.
"That means 30 yuan for the house, 45 yuan for the dealer, and 60 yuan for the hidden bar?" Yang Yong asked for confirmation.
"One more bar means one more round." Li Zhaokun arranged his cards and pushed them forward. He shook his die and rolled a three. He pointed at Su Ming and said, "Hurry up, it's your turn."
Li He stood at the side for a while. Seeing that they were playing happily, he didn't disturb them. He just chatted with Wu Shuping.
"The main body of the building has been completed. The decoration of the ground floor hall is complete. The elevator facilities and the main lighting system are in operation." After so many years of experience, Wu Shuping's temperament had changed a lot. Her eyes weren't big, but they were full of spirit. Her shoulder-length hair was black and shiny. "It will be fully operational after May. There will be a completion ceremony then."
Her voice was soft, but her enunciation was clear. Her lips, cheeks, hands, and eyes were all helping her to express herself.
She only gave Li He a questioning look, but she didn't ask him directly.
"I will try my best." Li He smiled and said, "But I still have to rely on you. I won't show up."
Wu Shuping nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, you guessed it. Pudong has entered a period of large-scale development. Many people want to buy land from us. Even the Singapore Government Limited has asked about their intentions, but I didn't agree."
"But in principle, we still have to cooperate with the city council's plan." Other than the Oriental Pearl Tower land, Li He had given in. Other suggestions of selling land were completely rejected by him. He was not short of money. He still wanted to build Lujiazui into a financial CBD according to the old way. "We can take the path of cooperative development. I have no opinion on the establishment of a joint venture to establish Lujiazui Development Company, but selling land is out of the question."
At that time, the land would be his, the building would be his, and he would be the landlord he envisioned. If he didn't collect more than a billion yuan in rent a day, he would be embarrassed to go out and say that he was in the real estate business!
First, make real estate the first!
This was the most important idea in front of him. He was afraid that he would forget it later. So, he couldn't wait to say, "Remember this for me. I will make real estate the first. First in China, then in Asia, and finally in the world!"
"This …" Wu Shuping suddenly felt a huge pressure. She was also stunned by Li He's sudden bold idea! Although she had a little confidence in Golden Deer Real Estate, it was still in a state of loss!
"Don't be afraid!" Li He said confidently, "Once the real estate industry explodes, it will exceed your imagination!"
What's more, he still had Xiangyang Real Estate, Yuanda Real Estate, and Dadi Real Estate. Not only Golden Deer Real Estate, but also Delta Real Estate operated by Ivanov in the United States. He didn't put all his eggs in one basket. With so many brothers and sisters, there must be one who can make it, right?
As for Fuhua Real Estate, it didn't belong to him, so he directly ignored it.
The more he thought about it, the more reliable it was. Start with real estate first!
