Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1198 Do you still dare to come?

After the press conference at the West Lake Hotel, public opinion exploded again.

The media outlets published news or reprinted reports from mainstream media. For a time, the whole country was discussing what Li Jiankun said at the press conference. The shocking capital operations revealed by Li Jiankun made people feel cold sweats running down their backs.

Doing business is not a rare thing in this country nowadays, but almost everyone does not know that business can be done this way.

Obviously, most Chinese people believed what Li Jiankun said. After all, he was so specific and even named names.

Beware of capital traps!

It has become the most talked about slogan.

At the same time, Li Jiankun's behavior of driving away the ambitious capitalists and leading the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce into the mainland to engage in corporate cooperation, even at the cost of putting shackles on himself, was made to appear extremely valuable.

People later realized that Li Jiankun's behavior was actually guarding our country's border!

The conspiracies and tricks of the capital jackals are exposed in front of him who stands at the top of capital.

He stood alone in front of the country's door which was opening wider and wider, holding a capital weapon, but never turned around to take action against the country. He silently did the feat of keeping the jackals out of the door. If it were not for the reporters' public criticism at this press conference, he would have to respond, and the people of the country would still be kept in the dark.

How generous is this?

What a spirit!

How sincere!

How lucky is China to have Li Jiankun? !

Li Jiankun's social reputation was pushed to another peak.

People look up, admiring the lofty mountains and the beautiful scenery.

A week passed quietly amidst the excitement of applause and flowers.

There was no movement up there.

Then Li Jiankun and Xu Fangguo understood that this was a tacit agreement, something without any precedent, and they didn't know what consequences it would lead to. It would be difficult to get clear support from the higher-ups.

Having a default is pretty good.

At noon that day, we were still in the West Lake Hotel, on the second floor, in the largest banquet hall.

A grand signing ceremony was held.

There were nearly two hundred media reporters who came from all over the country.

Under the spotlight and amidst countless camera flashes, after Li Jiankun and Xu Fangguo signed the contract, they clasped their hands together tightly, and both of them looked a little excited.

Xu Fangguo said solemnly: "These one hundred companies and hundreds of thousands of jobs are in your hands."

Li Jiankun restrained his smile and replied seriously: "Definitely."

Just jobs, not hundreds of thousands of workers.

This is also a clause written into the contract.

Because nowadays everyone knows that when it comes to foreign-owned enterprises, there is no such thing as a permanent job. If you have the ability, you get the job. But if you can't even do the basic work, who will be removed if not you?
The country has no shortage of human resources.

Many people want a job but cannot get it.

There are no idle people in the companies under the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce.

This involves a series of changes in corporate management, but that is a matter for the future. There is no need for Li Jiankun to do it himself. What Kunlun Club lacks the least is people who know how to do business. These people have quite a big business and are involved in almost all walks of life. Who doesn't have a group of capable people under his command?
What Li Jiankun has to do is very simple. He will assign these 100 enterprises to knowledgeable shareholders according to the nature of the enterprises and let them dispatch talents to manage them. You make money for others and others also make money for you. Everyone will benefit mutually and work together.

After the signing was completed, Li Jiankun began to implement this matter.

The West Lake Hotel, which seemed to have become a lot more spacious just after seeing off the huge group of reporters, soon became lively again, being packed with waves of people coming in groups to invite guests.

The first people to arrive came from surrounding areas of Zhejiang Province.

Afterwards, people from all over the country came in droves, almost according to the distance they traveled.

They came here with only one request, which was to invite the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce to visit them and jointly operate some factories.

The Kunlun Chamber of Commerce has become the biggest sweet potato in the eyes of corporate management units across the country.

In a small meeting room on the second floor of the hotel, during a break, Li Jiankun walked to the window sill and looked down. The front door on the first floor of the hotel was bustling with people coming and going.

"There are no guest rooms in the hotel. Those who come later will have to find a place to stay outside."

Dong Da came to Li Jiankun and suggested with a smile, "According to the current situation, we won't be able to sign all the contracts in a short time. The subsequent management of various regions and enterprises also needs a coordinating center. It seems that we need to set up a branch of the Chamber of Commerce in the mainland."

Li Jiankun was thinking about this.

One chamber of commerce branch is not enough. Think about it, there are currently one hundred large factories in Zhejiang Province alone, and there will be thousands of enterprises to be managed in the future. It is not excessive to establish a company of any size.

For no reason, he thought of a big news from Shanghai during the Spring Festival.

Pudong development.

The country needs capital to be injected there.

In the future, Pudong will also be our international financial center.

Therefore, setting up the company in Pudong would be the best of both worlds.

He also planned to enclose a piece of land by the Huangpu River and build a building that could serve as the background for photos taken by future generations when they visited the Bund.

He told Dong Da about this idea, and Dong Da smiled and said that would be the best, as it would not be a big deal anyway. The construction company under the Huaqiang Taikoo Group had entered the mainland two years ago. The cost of building a building in the mainland is estimated to be less than one-tenth of that in Hong Kong. So what's the big deal for him?

This matter was handed over to Effie. After the meeting, Li Jiankun would call her. He looked at Dong Dadao and said, "I'll leave the follow-up matters here to you. I'm going to Japan soon. Besides, I probably won't be able to spare any time this year. After finishing the things at hand, I will mainly stay in the mainland, which is just right for me to take care of this matter."

Dong Da now has a title, Assistant to the President.

The Chamber of Commerce's stall on the mainland is still in the process of injecting capital, but the equity distribution has been completed. This group of people has reserved 6.8% of the shares, which is exclusively owned by Li Jiankun. The Dong family and the Bao family are the second largest shareholders, with a share of %.

The plan is to inject 10 billion US dollars.

If it is not enough in the future, each company will have to increase capital in proportion if they want to keep their share quota.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Jiankun can monopolize 20% of the shares. If the first cooperation in Zhejiang Province is successful, other regions will come knocking. Everyone has foreseen that the business is too big, and even these wealthy people will face great financial pressure.

After all, it is an industrial business and it is hard to say how many years it will take to get your money back after investing.

Dong Da took two steps closer and lowered his voice, "My father said that after you clear your investment in Nissan, there will be no more than one person in this world who is richer than you, and no more than three people who have more liquid funds than you."

Li Jiankun smiled but said nothing.

Dong Da took a breath of cold air. Obviously, that was the case.

However, the young man next to him was different from those people and families. He rose too fast. It took only ten years, while others had accumulated wealth for a hundred years, with a family and allies working together. But he alone was now a top tycoon.

Dong Da hadn't seen him for a long time, so he inquired, "After Japan, are you going to the Soviet Union? I heard that you spend money like water here. My father said that he has never seen you do such a big thing. What will happen after you succeed?"

Li Jiankun laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "We don't know if it will work yet."

Dong Da was surprised, "Is there anything you can't do?"

Li Jiankun said unhappily: "If your father hears this, he will criticize you."

Dong Da touched the tip of his nose and said, "He won't do that about you."

Li Jiankun was speechless.

He acted like a charlatan in front of Mr. Dong back then, but of course he never treated Mr. Dong and the Dong family unfairly. Mr. Dong directly changed his fate, and the Dong family continued to prosper. Looking at the global business community now, the Dong family is his most steadfast ally, no doubt about it.

----

Two days later, Li Jiankun retired from his post and returned to the capital in a low-key manner.

The whole family was beaming with joy, feeling proud of the event. Of course they knew about the overwhelming news reports. Not only them, but everyone in the city knew about it.

Now whenever Chuncao goes out to buy groceries, she will be praised so much that she can’t help but raise her head and say “Of course, my little brother-in-law is so good and awesome”.

Li Xiaomei, who was filming in Xi'an, called several times and said she didn't know who leaked the information. Some local government agencies knew that she was Li Jiankun's sister, so they came to visit the set every day, bringing delicious food and treating her to dinner. It was really annoying.

But when she said these words, she was laughing like a bell.

On the night of returning to Beijing, Miss Shen was particularly proactive and said it was a reward for him. Li Jiankun was like an emperor that night. The next morning, he went to his father-in-law's house again. His mother-in-law had prepared a large table of dishes in advance. At the dinner table, the stubborn father-in-law became particularly amiable. After a few cups of cat urine, he put his arm around Li Jiankun's shoulders and they were almost on good terms.

For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was so kind to him. Li Jiankun was naturally in a good mood. With this feeling of comfort, he took a special plane to come to Nihon in a low-key manner.

A modified black commercial vehicle was driving slowly on the streets of Tokyo. Looking through the window, Li Jiankun could clearly feel a sense of decadence in the entire city.

The Japanese no longer have the ambition to buy out America.

In just one year, the Japanese stock market lost almost half of its value. The turmoil in the stock market soon spread to the real estate market, which collapsed. The Japanese people were crazy about stocks and real estate before, and now the market is falling. The vast majority of Japanese families are burdened with huge debts. At the end of last year, Japanese financial media released a data showing that the average debt ratio of each Japanese family is 4.3 times its annual income.

The profits of Japanese companies have plummeted by an average of more than 20%. Serious problems have emerged in the job market. Most companies have frozen recruitment and used "natural attrition" to reduce costs.

In order to cope with the employment crisis, the Japanese government launched the "Rural Revitalization Plan" to encourage college students to work in rural areas. At the same time, universities and graduate schools began to expand enrollment to ease employment pressure.

In the workplace, the term "social animal" has become popular. In order to keep their jobs, employees have to accept longer working hours and heavier workloads. Some people even sleep only two hours a day and often work overtime for 24 hours in a row. In order to supplement their family income, many people start part-time jobs or side jobs.

Concepts about love and marriage began to change. Due to economic pressure, many people chose to postpone marriage or simply not get married. The term "herbivore man" came into being to describe young people who were not interested in love and marriage. They believed that it was better to live a relaxed life alone than to bear the financial burden of marriage.

The education sector has also been impacted. Japan, once known as a "degree-based society," has begun to question the value of higher education. It is becoming increasingly difficult for college graduates to find jobs, and many have to accept jobs that are not related to their majors. Someone joked, "Nowadays, college diplomas are not even good enough to wipe your ass."

Consumption habits have changed dramatically. The Japanese, who were once keen on luxury goods, have begun to pursue 100-yen stores, where goods are priced uniformly at 6 yen (about yuan) and there are a wide variety of products, from daily necessities to food. Saving money has become a virtue, and there are even TV programs dedicated to teaching people how to save money.

Faced with the economic downturn, the Japanese philosophy of life has also quietly changed. The term "little happiness" has become popular, describing the search for small joys in ordinary life, such as drinking a cup of fragrant coffee, or admiring a wild flower on the roadside. People have begun to learn to find the beauty of life in hardship.

He still stayed in Midoko's large penthouse in Ginza, and would go to the trust bank headquarters during the day to personally direct the liquidation. However, despite such a low profile, the paparazzi still sniffed something.

The news that Li Jiankun appeared in Japan spread like wildfire.

The Japanese are angry, how dare you come?
On that day, Li Jiankun was busy in the securities department of the Trust Bank headquarters. The bank door was blocked and the angry crowd rammed the human wall formed by the bank security guards, as if they wanted to catch Li Jiankun and cut him into pieces. The bank called the police, and the situation improved after the police arrived, but only to a limited extent.

After learning the news, Li Jiankun strode into the first floor lobby of the bank despite the dissuasion of those around him.

He asked someone to find a microphone, plugged it into the speakers, looked at the red eyes outside the door, and said in a clear voice in English: "Yes, I made a lot of money from the Japanese economic crisis, but the problem is, you lost money. Is it my fault that the Japanese economic crisis broke out?"

"Before the economic crisis broke out, I accepted an interview with Japanese media and publicly stated that the Japanese stock market would collapse. I even clearly said that I would short the Japanese stock market. I warned you and even told you how to avoid disasters and make a fortune. Did those of you who are suffering from heavy losses listen to me?"

"Anyone with a little financial knowledge knows that Japan's economic crisis is caused by many factors. Before the crisis, Japan's economic bubble was so huge that Tokyo alone could buy the entire United States! In such an unreasonable market, you not only firmly believe in it, but also hold a large position in the hope of greater returns. You are too greedy. I was not the one who burst Japan's economic bubble. Originally, you all had the opportunity to short sell. At worst, you also had time to withdraw some funds. But you didn't make money and you didn't want the security. Now I'm making money, are you jealous? Am I making your money? If I don't short sell, the market value of Japanese stocks will not evaporate?"

Outside the door, a group of heavily indebted Japanese people stood there in a daze.

I was so stunned by the scolding.

Originally, they thought they were right...

"Whoever still wants to be scolded, keep blocking me, I will scold you till you are covered in blood!"

Li Jiankun handed the microphone to the bank boss next to him, Dai Rui, who was also a little confused. There were rumors outside that someone was threatening to kill the big boss, and he would not survive anyway, so why didn't he hide away and dare to curse him?
Li Jiankun is afraid of his father.

It's normal financial operation, the Japanese government can't do anything to him.

Among the three major violent gangs in Japan, although the Yamaguchi-gumi had some troubles before, the traitor Yamamoto Hiroshi had already been sent to prison, because Li Jiankun finally handed the matter over to Situ Meng to make the final decision. Naturally, the Hongmen would not miss the opportunity to change the dynasty of the Yamaguchi-gumi. The new one in office was supported by the Hongmen, and he can drive the three major violent gangs.

Spray when you should.

If there are still those who are not convinced, we can have a fight.

Li Jiankun has two different styles of doing things at home and abroad.
