That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1220 You guys go too far
"Mr. Pei, maybe what I said is unpleasant to hear, but it is from the bottom of my heart. I know that you have been donating investments to the mainland over the years, but how much have you recovered so far?"

"If Mr. Pei cooperates with me, he can get a 50% or even 100% return within a year.
I have just said so much, Mr. Pei, don't you understand? There is a high probability that your investment in the mainland will be lost. "

Pei Wencong's face became darker and darker, but Wang Lie's speech speed became faster and faster.

"Mr. Pei, you are also a top student who graduated from the University of Hong Kong. You naturally know that according to the logic of scientific development, it will take at least a hundred years or even longer for a poor and weak country to develop into a developed and powerful country. But now the beacon is the developed countries."

"Mr. Pei, you and my father are very good friends, so I am giving you frank advice. The mainland is not a suitable investment target, and mainlanders are not your best partners."

Wang Lie knew that Pei Wencong could go berserk at any time, so he had to "analyze the pros and cons" for Pei Wencong as soon as possible so that Pei Wencong would know who was the most suitable partner.

The reason why Wang Lie took the risk of completely offending Pei Wencong and adopted such an impatient approach to persuade him was because he had figured out one thing.

The reason why Pei Wencong stopped negotiating cooperation with him was because of this guy from the mainland in front of him.

Pei Wencong had already agreed on a negotiation time with Wang An Company, but he suddenly flew to Detroit to have breakfast with this guy?

Is it so easy for Pei Wencong to have breakfast with others now?

Combined with Pei Wencong's change in attitude just now, and thinking back to the first time the two sides met, it was Li Ye who was the first to walk away in anger. Even if Wang Lie reacted slowly, he knew that it was Li Ye who was playing tricks.

[You want to buy my company? Was it this guy who instigated you? ]

Wang Lie felt that he had been pushed into a corner. What was the use of being smooth, roundabout, subtle, or taking it slow?
Please, I don't have time. My company is on fire. If I can't get the firefighters this time, it won't be long before there's only ashes left.

To treat an emergency with strong medicine, Wang Lie can only take a gamble, because after today, he will have no other chance.

But no matter how Wang Lie presented the facts and reasoned, Pei Wencong simply wouldn't listen.

Investing in the mainland is not profitable? Is my investment in the mainland for the purpose of making money?
I am burning incense to the God of Wealth, okay?

When Li Ye said to invest in the mainland, Pei Wencong immediately invested in the mainland. Anyway, the speed at which Li Ye made money with him was much faster than the speed at which he invested.

And now you say my current partner is not suitable and want me to work with you?

One hundred percent for another year?
I'll fuck your mother!
Eight years ago, my personal assets were negative, but now they are tens of billions. Can you calculate for me the annual rate of return?
So let alone the fact that the return on investment in the mainland is not that high, even if he lost everything, Pei Wencong wouldn't even grin.

Also, you said it would take more than a hundred years for the mainland to develop into a developed country?
That’s great!

If the country wants to develop, it needs investment from people like us.

I originally only have forty years of good fortune, but as long as I continue to invest, and with the help of these forty years of support, our Pei family will be able to become a prominent family.

So even though Wang Lie was talking a lot of scientific theories, Pei Wencong found it increasingly irritating.

"Brother Wang, what did you say just now? Facing a strong person, you just admit defeat?"

Wang Lie was stunned and said quickly: "Mr. Pei, I'm not talking about you, I'm saying..."

Pei Wencong waved his hand and interrupted, "So who do you think is stronger between me and you now?"

"."

Wang Lie was stunned.

Who is stronger between him and Pei Wencong?
In terms of wealth, Pei Wencong is definitely richer at this moment.
In terms of fortune, Pei Wencong is definitely more successful at this moment.

However, Wang Lie always maintained an "equal" attitude towards Pei Wencong during the conversation. Even though he needed Pei Wencong's money, he did not think that he was a weak person.

He felt that his company was a technology-based industry and was inherently higher-end than merchants like Pei Wencong.

But does Wang Lie dare to tell the truth to Pei Wencong now?
You are a strong man, and now you are begging others to invest money to save your life?

Cao Mengde claimed to be the second best hero in the world, but when he met Guan Yu at Huarong Road, he had to cry out, "Yunchang, let me go."

If Cao Mengde had dared to say "Traitor, if you have the guts, chop me to death", would there still be the Three Kingdoms in history?

But Wang Lie just told Pei Wencong that harmony brings wealth, which means you should give in when you meet a strong man. So now that you admit that Pei Wencong is a strong man, do you have to kowtow and admit your mistake?
It's so confusing. It's so confusing.

"Mr. Pei, we are all flower growers. Is there any need to distinguish between the strong and the weak in a family?"

"Oh? But you just said so many bad things about the mainland, what are you doing now?"

Pei Wencong hesitated and only said half a sentence.

But Wang Lie was so ashamed that he felt embarrassed.

He originally came to Pei Wencong by taking advantage of the fact that "we are all Chinese", but ended up saying all kinds of bad things about the mainland.

Maybe he originally thought that overseas Chinese like Pei Wencong were not in the same circle as those in the mainland, but Pei Wencong recognized his ancestors!

However, Pei Wencong did not make things difficult for Wang Lie. He took the initiative to give Wang Lie a way out and said, "Brother Wang, I know your company has long been insolvent. It would be easy to lose money if I buy it now, but I am still willing to buy it for one dollar."

"."

Wang Lie stared at Pei Wencong in a daze, and felt that this well-mannered and elegant gentleman from Hong Kong was even more filthy and hateful than those loan sharks from the Boston gang.

A dollar?

You think you can buy the hard work of two generations of us for just one dollar?

[Pei thief, you are going too far! ]

Wang Lie's hands under the table had already been clenched into fists.

"Mr. Pei, even if I sell the company to you for one dollar, you won't be able to run it, because your strategy of transferring Lighthouse's advanced technology to flower growers is not in the interests of Lighthouse."

Pei Wencong's expression froze, and he said calmly, "Chairman Wang, I don't understand what you're saying. I don't steal or rob, I pay taxes according to the law, and I also provide employment for local people. How can it not be in the interests of Dengta?"

"You know it well." Wang Lie sneered and said, "I know Mr. Pei is a patriotic businessman, but you should not use the lighthouse to show your patriotism. Although the people will not sue the officials, the truth will eventually come out."

"."

Pei Wencong's face darkened.

Wang Lie was threatening him.

Many of GF Venture Capital’s technology projects are related to companies in Hong Kong or the Mainland, either by delivering technology or equipment.

Anyway, the country of Lighthouse is a large capital company and it can do anything as long as it can make money.

But if someone does something bad, some things can be big or small.

When Wang Lie said “officials will not investigate unless the people file a complaint”, doesn’t that mean he can report it?

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Li Ye knocked on the table gently again.

Then he calmly said to Wang Lie: "Chairman Wang, you should be a citizen of Lighthouse, right? Since you are a citizen of Lighthouse, it is legitimate to protect the interests of Lighthouse, so reporting illegal behavior is your right, but it is not a reason for you to threaten others."

"."

Wang Lie was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off.

Because of Li Ye's words, all hope was extinguished.

[You are a citizen of the Lighthouse. You are different from us. ]

So all the things Pei Wencong said before were just teasing and mocking himself?
Wang Lie stood up suddenly.

"Mr. Pei, I came here with sincerity, but I didn't expect to be ridiculed. I hope you can still laugh when we meet next time."

"."

Pei Wencong's eyes also became extremely sharp: "Chairman Wang, go out and report me now, I'll wait for you."

"."

Wang Lie was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and strode away.

But with every step he took, he felt a little lost, as if he had lost the most important thing.

He didn't know what was going on. Why did a good thing end up like this?

After Wang Lie left, Li Ye said calmly, "He is too impatient. He might end up hurting others and not benefiting himself. You can make some arrangements later."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li."

Pei Wencong laughed coldly, "We just don't conform to Wang Lie's interests, but we conform to the interests of many people. What can he, an outsider who is about to go bankrupt, do?"

Li Ye smiled.

Pei Wencong is a wealthy man after all, and his vision is extraordinary.

In a place like Lighthouse, as long as those people on Wall Street can make profits, who cares what your company does or who you sell the goods to?

After the listing of several companies such as Cisco, which were packaged by GF Venture Capital, they brought huge profits to those people. Will these people care about the outflow of some relatively backward technologies?

On the contrary, if you block someone's financial path, not to mention a Chinese who is about to go bankrupt, even the president can force you to surrender.

“This breakfast was really interesting.”

Li Ye threw away his napkin and suddenly asked, "Old Pei, do you think the money you invested in the mainland will be lost?"

Pei Wencong didn't hesitate for a second: "No, absolutely not."

Li Ye was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Old Pei, in fact, in the history of Lighthouse, there was once a president who signed a humiliating agreement with Britain when Lighthouse's national strength was booming. Do you know why?"

Pei Wencong shook his head slowly. It was true that he was a graduate of the University of Hong Kong, but he did not study Western history.

Li Ye said softly: "Because he saw the future of Lighthouse, he delayed the rise of Lighthouse and ultimately avoided a head-on collision between Lighthouse and Britain, laying a solid foundation for Lighthouse to become the world's number one."

"."

Pei Wencong was stunned, thinking that Li Ye was defending what Wang Lie had just said.

So he spoke from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Li, I understand the truth. We only have one motherland. There will be no good results if we play both sides."

Li Ye smiled and said bluntly: "Old Pei, I have a piece of advice for you. Believe in me, and also believe in the country."

"."

"Of course, of course."

Pei Wencong nodded repeatedly.

But after nodding, he felt a little confused again.

There is no problem in asking him to believe Li Ye, as he already trusts Li Ye very much.

But Li Ye asked him to believe in the country, combined with what he just said. Does he believe that the flower grower will become the best in the world like the lighthouse?
If this is the case, then some things that were originally incomprehensible now seem to make sense.
