Chapter 456: Li Ye Was Actually Serious

~11 min read 2,163 words

"Mr. Li, this house is a bit bigger than mine and in a higher position.

After buying it, because you haven't come to live here, I just send people to clean it every week. The rest of the parts haven't been changed. If you feel anything is inappropriate later, I'll find someone to redecorate it."

"In addition, Hong Kong's housing prices have risen again in the past two years. This house of yours has risen by at least 10%."

Pei Wencong introduced the specific situation of the house to Li Ye while driving into the mansion's gate.

Li Ye nodded slowly and then said to Pei Wencong, "Did you ask Liu Xiaohui to call my mother over for dinner?"

Pei Wencong's eyes moved, and he nodded with a smile.

"Beep, beep~"

Pei Wencong honked the horn, rolled down the window, and said to Pei Wenhui in the Ferrari behind, "Liu Xiaohui, go home and tell Mom, come over for dinner later, let Mom cook a few good dishes, and bring a few bottles of good wine."

Pei Wenhui nodded, turned the car around, and stepped on the gas to drive down the mountain. Her home wasn't far from here; she could be considered a true neighbor to Li Ye.

Although Li Ye's home was often cleaned by people, because no one lived there for a long time, the daily necessities were certainly not sufficient.

Li Yue nodded repeatedly, only then realizing there were guests present, and embarrassedly let go of Fu Guiru's arm.

More than ten years of separation caused Li Yue to miss the most important maternal love during her growth. It was her mother's fault, and she didn't know if it could be made up for in the future.

Fu Yiruo walked over with a giggle, grabbed Li Yue, and walked inside, "Sister, I'll take you to see your and Dayong's room. Mom personally tidied up your room for a long time yesterday! She didn't even let me or the servants intervene..."

In addition, Li Ye wanted to give his sister Li Yue and his mother a chance to be intimate.

"Xiao Yue, are you doing well after getting married? Did he bully you? Is your mother-in-law difficult?"

Fu Guiru touched Li Yue's head and said softly, "I miss you very much too. You'll sleep with me tonight, and the two of us will have a good talk."

Li Yue had sharp eyes. After seeing her mother, she quickly opened the door and got out of the car, ran to Fu Guiru in two or three steps, hugged Fu Guiru's arm, and giggled foolishly. Then, the mother and daughter had endless things to talk about.

Sure enough, just after Pei Wenhui and Li Dayong's Ferrari left, Fu Guiru walked out of the villa's main house and came over to welcome them with a smile.

When she was in the capital, Li Yue, who missed her mother, would cry and shed tears at every turn, but at this moment, her heart was filled with family affection and happiness. In her chattering words, everything was "reporting good news but not bad news."

"Mm, mm, mm!"

Fu Yiruo whispered, "It's not Mom's, it's my brother's."

Although because of the relationship between Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui, Li Dayong would know about Fu Guiru sooner or later, but now was not the time.

"I'm doing great! Yang Yumin treats me very well, and my mother-in-law treats me very well. Besides, many people from our hometown are in the capital, and with Xiao Ye and Dayong there, I'm practically at my maiden home. If I want to go back to Qingshui, it's easy. Just step on the gas and I'm home. I don't take anyone's crap."

On the contrary, Fu Guiru looked at her daughter who was already a wife, sticking to her like a little girl, and her nose felt sour and her eyes turned red.

Li Yue was also very interested in this big villa. She immediately followed Fu Yiruo upstairs, asking as she walked, "When did Mom buy this house? It looks really big."

"Mom, are you bored by yourself in Pengcheng? If you miss me in the future, just tell me, and I'll fly over to see you. Li Ye and I left the capital at noon today and arrived here in the afternoon. It's so convenient."

"Is it Xiao Ye's again? How much of a small treasury has he hidden?"

"Great, great!"

Li Yue turned her head in shock and happened to see Li Ye and the others walking towards the reception room on the first floor, while Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo were clearly following behind Li Ye.

【Is Xiao Ye being impolite? Or does he not understand the rules of the occasion?】

At this time, Fu Yiruo next to her giggled, "Mom doesn't ask this question, and we shouldn't either. Anyway, we just need to know that my brother is very powerful."

"Your brother is indeed powerful. We won't ask about things we shouldn't."

Li Yue subconsciously agreed with Fu Yiruo's words, then looked at Li Ye's back and suddenly laughed happily.

She recalled many past events of Li Ye and had an illusion that it was like a dream.

When Li Ye was very young, he was a little brother who was afraid of water and needed her to carry him on her back before he dared to cross the small river in the countryside.

When he grew up to be a teenager, Li Ye was dull and slow. Even though his fists were hard enough, he would be squeezed into silence by a few words from others, or he would fight at inappropriate times, always suffering some frustrating losses.

At that time, Li Yue was very worried about how her brother would live his life in the future, but in the blink of an eye, the current Li Ye already had the temperament of a pillar of the family, and even in front of foreign businessmen like Pei Wencong who had been to the Great Hall of the People, he had an overwhelming aura.

After Li Ye, Pei Wencong, Luo Runbo, and Fu Guiru entered the reception room, there was no nonsense at all. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said very seriously, "Old Pei, Old Luo, we have cooperated very happily in the past few years and have made a lot of money.

I first thank you both for your trust in me, and I also hope that in the next few years, you can continue to trust me.

Because our next plan may be the largest investment plan in recent years. If it can be completed smoothly, our returns may be ten or even dozens of times all our previous returns. Of course, the risks are also ten or dozens of times higher."

Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo were both stunned, and then looked at Li Ye in shock.

They had followed Li Ye for several years, and Li Ye had never spoken to them in such an incomparably serious tone.

When Li Ye led them to make money in the past, he was incomparably calm and incomparably casual, as if he had played a game of turning stones into gold inadvertently.

But this time, Li Ye was actually "serious."

After the shock, Pei Wencong felt an unstoppable ecstasy, the kind of ecstasy of "I surrounded a company of enemies by myself."

He didn't think it was absurd, because in the past few years, Li Ye had seized one opportunity after another that others thought were absurd, successfully allowing Pei Wencong to possess huge wealth.

Three years ago, Pei Wencong was so poor that he had to sell his broken second-hand car to pay his employees. How much did that car sell for?

Only tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

But now Pei Wencong already has a net worth of hundreds of millions of US dollars, which is billions in Hong Kong dollars.

In a place like Hong Kong where tycoons are produced in batches, there are countless examples of getting rich overnight, but no one can increase their assets ten thousand times in a few years like Pei Wencong.

And if it expands ten or dozens of times on this basis... then do you need to look at other people's faces in Hong Kong in the future?

Although money can't represent everything, the significance of a billionaire and a multi-billionaire is worlds apart. In the 1980s in Hong Kong, how many multi-billionaires were there?

And that forty-year great fortune seems to be truly real.

However, Pei Wencong was in unstoppable ecstasy, but Luo Runbo frowned. Although he now had complete trust in Li Ye, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Because in the market of capital speculation, as the principal increases, the percentage of return must decrease or even plummet.

It's not rare to have a chance to earn ten times the principal of 10,000, but it's very rare to have a chance to earn ten times the principal of 100 million.

Otherwise, so many tycoons wouldn't be so sensitive to bank interest rates.

A bank raising interest rates by two points doesn't matter at all to someone with only tens of thousands in their pocket; they can use this principal to gamble for bigger opportunities.

But tycoons holding tens of millions or hundreds of millions are indeed looking at the difference of these two points.

The reason is that there are not so many suitable investment options.

Now the principal of Li Ye and Pei Wencong adds up to more than 1.7 billion US dollars. Where can they find an opportunity to earn ten or dozens of times? Where can they find such a big plate?

And such a big opportunity must be an international financial turmoil, either a financial crisis or... a national-level action?

But I haven't heard of any signs of a financial crisis on this planet recently... Wait... national-level action?

Luo Runbo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked Li Ye, "Mr. Li, is your next step aimed at the Japanese market?"

"Eh?"

Now it was Li Ye's turn to be surprised.

He hadn't mentioned going to Japan to make a fortune to Pei Wencong before.

Those familiar with history know that although there were many world-class investment opportunities in the 80s and 90s, the Plaza Accord on September 22, 1985, was a hunting feast that absolutely could not be missed.

The Plaza Accord was the first time that major Western powers jointly intervened in market exchange rates on a large scale, and it was also the last time, because each country had response policies later, so once missed, it would take many years to have an opportunity of this level again.

But how did Luo Runbo guess it?

So Li Ye asked Luo Runbo back with a smile, "Why do you think it's the Japanese market?"

Luo Runbo swallowed his saliva and blurted out a sentence, "Because the Japanese have been too arrogant in recent years, so arrogant that they forgot they are a country with an incomplete sovereignty, so arrogant that they forgot there is still a boss above their heads."

"If a hunting dog forgets that its master has a hunting gun and only feels that its fangs are sharp enough, then its teeth are about to be pulled out."

Pei Wencong and Fu Guiru were both skeptical after hearing the conversation between Li Ye and Luo Runbo.

Because Luo Runbo's words were easy to understand, that is, Japan was about to be cleaned up by its boss, but Japan in 1985 was at its peak. Where was there any sign of bad luck?

However, Li Ye nodded and asked seriously, "Old Luo, how did you realize this?"

【I guessed it! I guessed it based on your "dozens of times"! Only a plate as big as Japan could have such a big opportunity for medium and small speculators like us.】

Luo Runbo was of course guessing, but Li Ye's eyes and tone gave him confidence.

"It's like this, Mr. Li. Previously, according to your suggestion, we invested in the Lighthouse Country and earned about 30%."

"Later, because we wanted to lay out in Hong Kong, I withdrew the funds from the Lighthouse. At that time, our partners in the Lighthouse asked me if I wanted to invest the funds in the Japanese market."

"Then I spent an information fee to investigate and found that some big companies in the Lighthouse had quietly entered the Japanese market since last year."

"At that time, I thought it was just because the return rate of the Japanese market was high, but after hearing your reminder just now, I felt that there might be a huge opportunity."

"After all, the bilateral trade friction between the Lighthouse and Japan has been intensifying in recent years, and the people of the Lighthouse are not kind-hearted people..." ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
