20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3615 Lu Feifei

"They all seem to be very smart!"

Zhao Chang'an couldn't help but sigh, "Is the Lu family about to change their stance?"

"This time it's just that Lu Feifei and Lu Tanhua want to see you, it has little to do with the Lu family elders. The two most important regions for the Lu family right now are two joint venture diamond mines and one wholly-owned mine in Africa, while other industries have been shrinking or liquidating in recent years. The other is their investment in North America."

"Currently, it seems that the Lu family wants to transfer the wealth they have accumulated in Africa over the years to North America, and at the same time send women, children and the elderly there. In addition to purchasing shares in some companies and commercial office buildings, they also bought a piece of land in Irvine to build a community. The Lu Changfeng brothers have always been in charge of North America. Lu Feifei and Lu Tanhua went to North America, probably because they had a falling out with Lu Changfeng and were exiled to Southeast Asia."

Xia Wenzhuo said, "I didn't know they were here before. They contacted me and said I was investigating in the wrong direction. They said the fraud gang was from Cape Town and they could help me investigate."

"Let's meet them and hear what they have to say."

When Zhao Chang'an met Lu Feifei in Los Angeles, although he thought it was a bit of a far-fetched and foolish idea, he still had a positive attitude of wanting to improve.

Whether it's helping Xia Wenzhuo or wanting to see me, it all boils down to the same idea.

More than a year has passed, and they should have become smarter and more pragmatic, no longer having those unrealistic and ridiculous fantasies.

"Then I'll call Feifei."

Xia Wenzhuo didn't want to be the matchmaker. Zhao Chang'an was leaving Xingcheng tomorrow, and she wanted to spend her time with him in a happy world.

However, my mother owes the Lu family a favor in this matter. Since they have asked to see Zhao Chang'an, it would be too obvious for me to refuse to even convey their request.

Moreover, the river is not yet completely crossed. Although they have roughly figured out where their mother went, the fraud gang has not been harmed at all. They have only tracked down the trading market in Central Asia and the owner of the trading house.

The shop owner didn't know who the buyer was, and even forgot what the person looked like, only saying that they should be a local.

However, he had a deep impression of Qiao Qinqin. Even after more than a year, he still remembered her, saying that this woman was very fair-skinned, soft, and obedient. She didn't look like a woman in her early forties. Playing with her was very smooth and enjoyable, like sleeping on a waterbed.

He deliberately kept it at home for half a year until he got tired of it before selling it. Moreover, the price he sold it for wasn't low. If the price hadn't been so good, he definitely wouldn't have minded keeping it for a few more years.

After all, even if you get a little tired of it now, the novelty will come back after you don't use it for a while.

Based on the above, it can be inferred that Qiao Qinqin did not suffer much hardship, torture, or beatings before entering that vast, desolate mountain area of ​​over a million square kilometers, and the price was not low, so it is unlikely that the purpose there was to torture and amuse her.

Then the chances of survival are very high.

Zhao Chang'an's thoughts drifted to his interactions with Lu Feifei. Some misunderstandings had been cleared up, and he understood her avoidance of him, since the Lu family didn't seem to owe him anything.

From Lu Xiaotian's perspective, the three gold nuggets were quite valuable, equivalent to giving his father Zhao Shubin 55,000 yuan, which was equivalent to his salary for 23 years at the time.

As for Lu Feifei, she and Lu Feifei were just childhood pen pals who had a spiritual connection, seeking temporary spiritual sustenance and comfort from each other, and there was no question of who owed whom anything.

Therefore, there was no reason for her to blame anyone. It was just as the Lu family believed: they didn't owe her anything, and by the same token, she didn't owe the Lu family anything.

So, if you want to talk about something, that's fine, but it's all about being clear and straightforward, a pure business negotiation.

When Zhao Chang'an and Xia Wenzhuo arrived at the restaurant that Lu Feifei had booked, they were speechless when they saw that the restaurant was called Hunan Cuisine Restaurant.

These two guys have been living in poverty abroad for a year, and it seems they haven't made any progress. I just came from China, and they're treating me to Hunan cuisine.

Upon entering the private room, Lu Feifei and Lu Tanhua were already waiting inside. The two had changed somewhat since their last meeting. Lu Feifei had lost the confident, somewhat spoiled air she used to have, while Lu Tanhua had become less frivolous and flippant.

"Mr. Zhao, it's only been three days since we last met, and you've truly exceeded Feifei's and my expectations. You've become a billionaire with a net worth of several billion dollars. Back then, Feifei and I argued about how you were accumulating RIM shares through back and forth, and we felt that even if you eventually gained control of RIM, it wouldn't be a very worthwhile investment. RIM, a telecommunications company whose main business is pagers, performed terribly in its transition to making the 6320 mobile phone. Looking back now, the crippled version, the Tianyue Xinyu 168, was even worse. It only managed to squeeze out a small share of the market during the chaotic domestic mobile phone market two years ago."

Speaking of this, Lu Tanhua was also impressed: "Who could have predicted that after all that stunt last September, the seemingly useless and ineffective standalone communication channel would actually make RIM a success, and its stock price would skyrocket. Compared to its lowest point last September, the current stock price has increased five or six times, and its total market value is approaching $120 billion. Moreover, I feel that RIM's stock price will continue to rise in the future."

"It should go up a little more, right?"

Zhao Chang'an was being modest. In reality, when RIM's stock price peaked around 09, its total market capitalization reached $1200 billion, which is ten times its current "exaggerated" market capitalization.

Zhao Chang'an currently holds shares in RIM worth over 30 billion RMB, and his total net worth has reached 40 billion RMB.

Even without considering the increase in RIM's stock price over the next year, the premium from Cretaceous's overseas listing alone could easily add billions or even tens of billions to his Shenzhen family's wealth.

"Last year, Mr. Zhao, you were making waves in the North American stock market, and Feifei suggested that we put all our savings into it and take a gamble."

Lu Tanhua said with deep regret, "At the time, we also investigated several projects and negotiated with the company. The company also had the idea of ​​investing, but they required us to invest a certain percentage as well. I was afraid of being trapped, so I persuaded Feifei not to invest in RIM's stock. Looking back now, we have lost at least 20 million US dollars."

Lu Feifei pursed her lips and said, "What you're saying is meaningless. If it weren't for what happened last September, do you dare say RIM would be what it is now? Its separate information channel was only used once last year. The others have been in use for five or six years since it was built."

"If that's your opinion, why are you investing in RIM? Isn't that a contradiction?"

Xia Wenzhuo looked at Lu Feifei with a scrutinizing gaze.

During her first semester of freshman year, Lu Feifei made contact with this place through Yin Wan, and many people could see that she treated Zhao Chang'an with special regard.

At that time, Zhao Chang'an's qualifications were: top scorer in the college entrance examination, student of Fudan University, campus singer, and a small but insignificant achievement in college student entrepreneurship.

These qualities certainly don't qualify him to be a match for Lu Feifei, but his good looks are a huge draw for women.

Therefore, Xia Wenzhuo was hostile and wary of her at the time, and their relationship was very distant, with almost no private interactions between them.

Only today did she realize her naiveté; when the clams fight, the fisherman benefits, and Tang Shuang got there first.

Therefore, even though she disliked Yang Yixin, she could tolerate her, having learned from past mistakes. Once she learned about Yang Yixin's situation, Tang Shuang would definitely be the one feeling the most upset.
