Chapter 457: Behind Him Is Not Just One Mountain

Luo Luo Runbo gave a long list of reasons. After finishing, he licked his lips, waiting for Li Ye's "commentary."

To be honest, he didn't necessarily believe everything he said himself.

But after Li Ye pondered for a moment, he smiled and said, "Old Luo, do you feel like your talents are being wasted following me?"

Luo Luo Runbo hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, you're making fun of me. Actually, I switched from a law major halfway. Everything I just said was speculation. You are the true great talent from the Economics Department."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "Old Luo, you're being too modest. We've known each other for so long, and your market sense is sharper than the vast majority of people."

"Although I studied economics, I also rely on the knowledge I've learned to make inferences. At most, I just guess a little more accurately than others; I can't be called a great talent."

"Heh~"

Luo Luo Runbo smiled sheepishly and didn't speak again. He wasn't good at flattering people, but he wouldn't easily change what he had determined in his heart.

Over the years, Li Ye had been using the name "I'm from the Economics Department of Jingda" to give countless correct market predictions.

So much so that Luo Luo Runbo had developed the habit of collecting economic papers from Jingda. But looking at them, many papers didn't seem as profound as Li Ye's casual remarks, so the position he gave Li Ye in his heart now was that of an economic great talent, which couldn't be easily shaken.

What Luo Luo Runbo didn't expect, however, was that Li Ye's evaluation of him was also from the heart.

Luo Luo Runbo had only heard a few words from others and immediately spent an information fee to investigate the movements of Lighthouse capital. Just this point alone surpassed the vast majority of financial speculators of this era.

Because he was now very certain that he would also be an international giant crocodile in the future.

After Li Ye finished speaking, Pei Pei Wencong's eyes were already shining, and he was so excited that his face turned red.

Li Ye's face froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is it? Is your safety at risk? Why don't you go to the mainland for a while?"

Although Hong Kong is a society ruled by law, there is also violence, so Li Ye was a little nervous.

Pei Pei Wencong didn't have Luo Luo Runbo's financial sense, but he had ten times the worship and trust in Li Ye than Luo Luo Runbo did. No matter what Li Ye wanted to do, he would follow the lead without thinking.

The fun of this entry and exit was doubled, so refreshing that it was crooked.

And the capital players who lurked in advance sold the appreciated assets to them. When the Japanese bubble burst, they turned back and picked and bought the valuable things back.

"Fine, then let those people praise you," Li Ye said calmly. "We will start entering the Japanese market now. Stock market, foreign exchange market, real estate market, enter separately."

Seeing that Li Ye had determined the target, Pei Pei Wencong immediately said, "Mr. Li, then when should we enter the Japanese market? How much capital do we need to invest?"

"By then, if our prediction is correct, the old-fashioned nobles of the Lighthouse, Britain, and Europe will join the hunt. The situation will definitely be very complex and chaotic, but it will also be conducive to our hiding."

"We should be cautious. Don't just enter through the Hong Kong line. Don't use too much leverage, and don't be too greedy."

After Li Ye gave some precautions, he comforted them, "But fortunately, we have been quite smooth recently and have some capital, so we still have some anti-risk ability. After this opportunity, we won't be afraid of any financial giant crocodiles anymore."

"In addition, there are levels for wealthy people in Hong Kong. I'm not a small fish or shrimp anymore. If I can take another step up, those who scold me might praise me again."

To follow the trend and eat meat, you must have strong enough teeth, otherwise, you are just fresh meat on someone else's plate.

The reason why Li Ye had been asking Luo Luo Runbo to adjust positions continuously for the past two years, jumping back and forth between Hong Kong and the Lighthouse, was to accumulate capital and wait for this opportunity in 1985. Otherwise, if the principal was too small, not only would it not be satisfying to earn, but the anti-risk ability would also be poor.

Pei Pei Wencong hurriedly said, "No, no, my safety is no problem. After I went to the Great Hall of the People, anyone who wants to move me has to consider the consequences, so they are at most just mouthing off."

Pei Pei Wencong smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of Mr. Li laughing at me. After I came back from the Great Hall of the People, there were some people who didn't like me, pointing at the mulberry and scolding the locust, so I also want to take a step forward and not look at anyone's face anymore."

Luo Luo Runbo was calmer than Pei Pei Wencong. He sorted out his thoughts and took out the account table from the leather case he carried with him.

In fact, before the Plaza Accord was signed in 1985, many powerful capital giant crocodiles had entered the Japanese market to lurk. After the agreement was signed, the Japanese market became violently hot in a short period of time, the stock market and foreign exchange market rose crazily, and the Japanese were clamoring to buy the whole world.

Li Ye smiled and teased, "Why, Old Pei, are you really impatient?"

"The gains from Hong Kong stocks have been mostly settled. We now have about... in the account specifically for investment."

Luo Luo Runbo suddenly stopped talking and looked up at Fu Fu Guiru.

Although Fu Fu Guiru was allowed by Li Ye to attend this small meeting, Luo Luo Runbo still needed Li Ye to confirm again when it involved the amount of personal property.

Li Ye smiled and said, "This investment plan is very important, but it's inconvenient for me to travel back and forth in the capital, so my mother will follow up throughout the process, and some procedures also need her signature, so there is nothing to hide."

"Besides, communication is very inconvenient now. If you can't reach me, she will make the decision."

Luo Luo Runbo bowed slightly to Fu Fu Guiru, "Sorry, Ms. Fu. Mr. Li is my client, so some things need to be done according to the rules."

Fu Fu Guiru smiled calmly and said, "It's okay, Mr. Luo. You did the right thing. I'm just a bystander supervisor. How the specific investment plan is implemented is still up to you and Li Ye."

"Okay, we have about 1.745 billion in the investment account now, of which Mr. Li has about 1.27 billion, Mr. Pei has 360 million, and I have 110 million..."

"I plan to register a few more offshore companies, and then register investment companies in Britain, Prussia, France, and the Lighthouse respectively, and then according to Mr. Li's opinion, invest in the Japanese market separately..."

The calm Fu Fu Guiru quietly clenched her fists under the table, because she suddenly remembered a convention when Li Ye talked about money with Pei Pei Wencong—it was denominated in US dollars.

Fu Fu Guiru knocked on the table with a calm face and pointed to Luo Luo Runbo's account book: "Do you mind if I take a look?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Luo Luo Runbo pushed the account book to Fu Fu Guiru.

When Fu Fu Guiru looked, the account book was indeed marked with the letters USD.

Fu Fu Guiru could no longer remain calm. She was completely shocked.

Li Ye just said that he relied on "inference" to conclude that there was an opportunity in the Japanese market, and now he was going to invest over 1 billion US dollars?

Is this "guessing"? This is gambling, and what's even more outrageous is... the young and vigorous Li Ye is gambling, and Pei Pei Wencong and Luo Luo Runbo are following him to gamble without hesitation?

Are you "guessing"? This is gambling, and what's even more absurd is: Li Ye, who is young and full of vigor, is gambling, and Pei Pei Wencong and Luo Luo Runbo are following suit without the slightest hesitation?

What shocked Fu Fu Guiru even more was that these people discussed such a large investment project in ten minutes. Next, Luo Luo Runbo made a general appointment with Fu Fu Guiru to cooperate in registering offshore companies.

This is too sloppy, right?

If Li Ye weren't her own son and Pei Pei Wencong weren't a famous figure, Fu Fu Guiru could be certain right now that this was a bunch of scammers.

The dazed Fu Fu Guiru pulled herself together and maintained her superficial calmness. She felt that she couldn't be red-faced like Pei Pei Wencong at this time, so as not to lose her son's face.

By the time everyone had dinner, Fu Fu Guiru had completely calmed down, chatting and laughing with Pei Pei Wencong's mother, and the meal was harmonious and enjoyable for both host and guest.

After Pei Pei Wencong and Luo Luo Runbo finished their meal and left Li Ye's villa, they went to Pei Pei Wencong's house together.

Both of them were very excited today and had to sleep foot-to-foot to chat for the whole night.

Pei Pei Wencong couldn't help but ask Luo Luo Runbo, "Ah Bo, did you really guess that Mr. Li's plan target was Japan? When did you become so formidable?"

Luo Luo Runbo said frankly at this time, "Ah Cong, guessing riddles also requires the support of basic information."

"Didn't you say Mr. Li has high-level connections in the mainland? I think, did the high-level mainland officials notice something? So..."

For this kind of state-level strategy, state-level information is the most accurate. An individual is actually insignificant in front of a huge collective.

"Ah Cong, I really envy you, envy you for being the first to meet Mr. Li. This luck is something others can't ask for."

Pei Pei Wencong nodded silently in deep agreement, also feeling that he was lucky enough.

Luo Luo Runbo let out a breath and asked Pei Pei Wencong again, "Ah Cong, you've been to the mainland so many times, how high do you think the mountain behind Mr. Li is?"

"Hehe, I can't be sure about that," Pei Pei Wencong smiled, and only after a moment did he say, "Because behind Mr. Li, there isn't just one mountain!"

"Not just one mountain?" Luo Luo Runbo was stunned for a moment, then said with relief, "Then I'm at ease."

A backer has always been necessary. Even Pei Pei Wencong in Hong Kong relied on a circle of classmates from HKU to share a portion of the benefits before he could successfully resist a series of troubles.

And Pei Pei Wencong knew about the relationship between Li Ye and Wen Wen Leyu. Just Teacher Ke and Wen Wen Qingsheng alone could count as two mountains. ===== CHAPTER 458 =====
