Chapter 100: Investment Risk

After several minutes passed, Lu Chen then continued to speak.

"Regarding the gathering of bank directors convened by Wei Er yesterday, I presume you have all learned the inside information through various channels. Next, the banks in Xianggang will all exert their influence, and securitization will soon be made public, forming an even more frenzied trend."

Lu Chen's voice carried a hint of a low tone.

"With such massive capital, if no exit can be found, I presume you all know what will happen."

Lu Chen nodded slightly toward Luosha, then spoke again.

"Therefore, in order to cope with the coming crisis, everyone present, please take a look at the documents we have prepared; if there are any questions, I can answer them on the spot."

"Little Lu, the plan you proposed is indeed feasible, but why must we convert the investments and loans into the Nitan Project that you lead? Furthermore, the construction of the Tianran Gang will inevitably affect our interests in the Nitan."

Elder Wang asked directly.

"Elder Wang, if we do not do this, then the capital introduced by Crown will have nothing to do with you."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, his tone devoid of any politeness.

"You only invested in Crown, not in the Nitan. Regarding the construction of the Tianran Gang, it is also part of the Nitan development; your interests will not be affected in the slightest."

"Then how do you guarantee that?"

A flash of sharp light flickered in Elder Wang's eyes.

"Regarding the construction of the port, after leaving this door, whoever leaks it out, Miss Luosha will issue a jianghu kill order."

Lu Chen gave a simple explanation regarding the design of the port.

This made the eyes of the bigwigs in the meeting hall light up instantly.

There were even a few bigwigs with close ties to gangs who applauded softly.

"I, Lu Chen, have said that I will safeguard everyone's interests, so naturally, I will also think on your behalf."

"If there are no more questions, then we will perform the conversion based on the investment amounts of the bigwigs in Crown. Secretary Wanyu, a disciple of Professor Li, will handle the statistics here. In the end, we will announce everything: the converted shares and the share of this company in the parent company."

Lu Chen bowed slightly, sat down beside Luosha, let out a long breath, and his fingers were trembling slightly.

Luosha tossed a pre-warmed Cigar to Lu Chen.

After Lu Chen took a deep puff, he finally relaxed.

From time to time, bigwigs came over to greet him.

Lu Chen responded to them one by one.

"Little Lu, your speech today was good, but how should we settle the 20 million loan note that my Liu Family gave you before?"

Elder Liu sat beside Lu Chen, his eyes squinting, a smile on his face.

"Elder Liu, it is not convenient to discuss this matter here. I will calculate it for you separately. Rest assured, the interests of the Liu Family will not be damaged."

Lu Chen smiled and nodded, leaned close to Elder Liu, and spoke in a low voice.

"Your 20 million loan note has already been added to the Liu Family's investment amount. After the shares are calculated, I will top it up to a round number for you."

Luosha was slightly stunned, glanced at Lu Chen, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she nodded gently.

"My Liu Family is not short of that little bit; just consider it my personal investment in you."

Elder Liu nodded with satisfaction, patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, nodded slightly toward Luosha, and walked toward Professor Li's side.

Lu Chen took a deep look at Elder Liu.

After a good while, he took the compiled data, which made Lu Chen's pupils shrink.

Over one billion!

These people really dare to invest!

Counting them into Wei Er's investment amount, it is already one-third.

After Lu Chen thought for a while, he wrote a number on the paper.

"Convert the bigwigs' capital into the shares of an offshore company according to their respective proportions, then have this company invest in another company, and allocate shares according to this proportion and Wei Er's investment amount."

After a few minutes of transferring, Lu Chen finally finished writing all the points of attention.

Only then did he look up at Shen Wanyu.

"Now that the bigwigs have only written things out, afterwards, visit them one by one and take back all the vouchers."

"Understood, BOSS."

Shen Wanyu took the content Lu Chen had written and bowed as she exited the grand reception hall.

"Everyone, I have prepared some light wine; please move to the dining room."

Seeing that the registration was mostly done, Lu Chen spoke softly.

He nodded slightly toward Professor Li in the distance.

He left the Zhuangyuan directly, without clinking glasses with the bigwigs.

After returning to his own Zhuangyuan, Lu Chen finally relaxed.

"Steward Wang, invite Crown Director Wei Er for this afternoon... no, invite him for lunch."

Steward Wang nodded slightly and immediately agreed.

After a good while, Steward Wang returned.

"Sir, the matter is arranged; Director Wei Er will come for the banquet at noon."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, lit a 555, stood up, and looked toward the bustling Victoria Harbour in the distance.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Prepare the best ingredients."

"Understood."

Steward Wang bowed slightly.

After about half an hour, the iron gate of the Zhuangyuan opened.

Lu Chen glanced down and went straight downstairs.

"Director Wei Er, we meet again."

Lu Chen stepped forward and shook his hand.

"I am truly sorry to have you come over in the midst of your busy schedule, please."

"Director Lu, what are you saying? I heard that you held a meeting this morning; is it not necessary to maintain those big shots?"

A trace of curiosity appeared on Wei Er's face, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.

"Director Wei Er is truly well-informed; this meeting was essentially a progress meeting for the Nitan Project."

Lu Chen said with a smile, still gesturing to guide Wei Er.

"You are also aware of how complex the Nitan Project is, how many gangs it involves, and how many related stakeholders there are; this was just a general coordination meeting, and we also need to clarify the volume of capital you are going to invest."

Lu Chen paused for a moment before continuing to speak.

"In order to reduce resistance for the Nitan Project, such progress meetings will have to be held from time to time in the future, and at that time, Director Wei Er must come to provide some guidance."

Wei Er took a deep look at Lu Chen, a flash of doubt crossing his eyes.

"Director Lu, I do feel reassured by your ambition for the cause, but haven't you been opposing my push for securitization?"

"I certainly won't oppose withdrawing money to invest in the Nitan; after all, this is also for the development of Xianggang."

Lu Chen paused, then continued to speak.

"What I oppose is uncontrollable risk; regarding finance, my attitude has always been to keep it at a distance. After all, it is simply too illusory; one never knows when a piece of news might cause tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in funds to go down the drain—who could stand that?"

Wei Er patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, a flash of complexity in his eyes.

"So I had misunderstood Director Lu. Now that we are about to become allies, I will provide you with the most professional financial plan so that you will have no worries during the construction of the Nitan."

"Thank you for your understanding, Director Wei Er. Sometimes I am forced by circumstances; please forgive me in the future."

Lu Chen reached out and led Wei Er to the dining room.
