Chapter 1137 If you don't have enough money, go abroad to get it.
This is the art of conversation.
When Liu Meilan learned from her second brother that Ye Qiang opposed these investment projects, her first reaction was to buy back the shares held by Ye Qiang, and even double the amount.
But Liu Meilan later realized that this idea was a bit impulsive. First of all, they were friends, and staunch allies at that. Secondly, there was Xiaoyu in the middle, and doing this could very likely damage her relationship with Xiaoyu.
Finally, Liu Meilan also felt that as her abilities improved and she had more and more successful cases, she became more autocratic.
While this can increase efficiency, it is also extremely dangerous if there is only one sound around.
Liu Meilan deeply reflected on this point.
Hearing Liu Meilan's words, Ye Qiang looked ashamed, realizing he had been wrong and had held Liu Meilan back: "Meilan, don't blame me. After all, I don't know much about this industry. Even though I've bought a lot of books, I only half-understand some of them. But you, how can you be so sure it's the most profitable industry in the future?"
Liu Meilan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Ye Qiang, after my exploration of finance and the global high-tech industry, I've figured it out. We can say that capital is bad, but we can't say that capital is stupid. Capital will flow into whatever industry makes money. Of course, I'm not just talking about domestic capital, but also foreign capital, especially capital from Europe and America."
“Foreign countries use their industries and high-tech to exploit us, just like slaughtering pigs. The ‘pigs’ we painstakingly raise end up with all the meat being taken by foreigners, leaving us only with some blood and hair. If this continues, we will forever remain low-level laborers.”
"Most importantly, it involves national security. In the future, with global interconnection, there will be means to control global information. Backdoors in chips and bottlenecks in high technology are deadly. Currently, foreign countries are still willing to sell us chips and make high profits. If one day our interests conflict with theirs, and they impose an embargo on us, the final result will be unimaginable."
Ye Qiang nodded: "I understand the reasoning, but... I just feel that the investment is too large and the cycle is too long, and the rate of return... is not very high."
Liu Meilan smiled and comforted Ye Qiang: "Believe me, our investment won't go down the drain. It may not bring profits in the short term, but I believe that once it takes off, the profits will exceed your imagination. This is part of the national strategy, and when we make money, we must also cooperate with the national strategy. We are national entrepreneurs, not foreign compradors. Once you recognize this identity, you won't be anxious anymore."
After hearing this, Ye Qiang and Hu Jian were filled with respect: "Meilan, you...you really surprised me! You have a broad vision and lofty aspirations!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "You flatter me. Talking about anything else is nonsense. Making more money and also securing more living space for the Chinese people is the real truth. Unlike the physical struggle for territory in the past, the struggle for territory in high-tech industries is one of the keys to success in future competition."
Ye Qiang blinked: "But the money in our company's account... is flowing out like water, and the funds are not as plentiful as before."
"Then..." Liu Meilan stroked her chin, calculating the time, "How about we go and make some money in the overseas stock market?"
Ye Qiang perked up when he heard this—most of the money he was spending now came from the stock market, especially from the Asian financial crisis of the past two or three years.
Although they didn't have much capital, they still managed to snatch some meat from the mouths of those greedy financial tycoons.
Ye Qiang's eyes lit up: "When? You don't need to go, I'll go. You can just direct me remotely."
Hu Jian's eyes were bright. He had some money, not much, but he had invested in stocks with Liu Meilan and made a considerable amount. Otherwise, how could he live such a comfortable life?
Liu Meilan stroked her chin: "Don't go too far. Stay on Hong Kong Island. It's close by, within our reach, and safer."
"Okay!" Ye Qiang was excited, especially enjoying the feeling of dominating the stock market, especially when he didn't have to use his brain to make judgments and relied entirely on Liu Meilan's guidance.
They are now qualified as private equity funds, allowing them to invest in stocks in Hong Kong and the US. However, they do not manage investments for unfamiliar individuals; they only serve their own people.
Hu Jian raised his hand: "Could you help me out? It's not much money, but it'll make my wallet a little fuller. When I need money, I won't have to resort to underhanded methods."
Liu Meilan nodded: "Okay, I'll have Ye Qiang give you a corresponding investment account later, transfer the money in, and sign an investment entrustment agreement."
"Thank you!" Hu Jian said gratefully.
Just then, Zhang Xiufang returned from the ornamental fish farm. She had come to help out because her family was having guests over.
Upon hearing about the investment, Zhang Xiufang beamed with joy: "Meilan, I'll invest too! Ye Qiang, give me a power of attorney later, I'll sign it too."
"Okay!" Liu Meilan agreed.
Zhang Xiufang smiled happily: "I bought a house and a shop. Money that's just sitting in my hands will lose value, but money that's invested by Meilan will appreciate in value."
Liu Meilan quickly reminded him, "Investing involves risks, so be careful. I can't guarantee that you'll make money every time."
Zhang Xiufang laughed and said, "Even if I lose money, I'll accept it. I can afford to earn it, and I can afford to lose it!"
Zhang Xiufang has fair skin and a beautiful face; she is at the most beautiful age for a woman. She has already shed the naivety of a young woman and has gained the charm of a mature woman.
She was 1.7 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure and a long, fair neck—the so-called swan neck.
I'm currently using the Seven White Pearl series of skincare products, and my skin is in excellent condition—a fair and radiant complexion. I have the classic, elegant, and dignified appearance of a northern woman, comparable to a CCTV host.
In real life, what's most attractive about Zhang Xiufang is her two long, straight legs, which are white, well-proportioned, and exceptionally beautiful.
Hu Jian was suddenly drawn to Zhang Xiufang, glancing at her from time to time as she worked nearby and joked with Aunt Yu.
Liu Meilan looked at Hu Jian, then at Zhang Xiufang, and paused slightly, "Hu Jian, do you have feelings for my sister Xiufang?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jian's face instantly turned red: "I...I...Meilan, don't talk nonsense."
Ye Qiang rolled his eyes: "Hu Jian, you used to be so outspoken and bold, why are you so shy now?"
Hu Jian said embarrassedly, "I...I was just worried that if it didn't work out, I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing Xiao Li to play with me in the future."
Actually, his initial attraction to Zhang Xiufang wasn't because she was pretty, but because he had just picked up his daughter that day and then suddenly received a call asking him to return to the main factory urgently.
It was inconvenient to take her daughter with her, so she happened to run into Zhang Xiufang, who was off work, and asked her to take her daughter back to the Liu family home to be cared for.
Zhang Xiufang not only bought her daughter Hu Xiaoli nice and well-fitting clothes, but what shocked him the most was the pretty braids Zhang Xiufang had styled for her daughter. They were so cute!
When my daughter got home, she didn't want to take her hair off, and she didn't want to move it even when she slept. She didn't comb or wash her hair for three days.
