That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1454 Made a killing

That evening, Li Ye, Pei Wencong, and Luo Runbo went to Fu Guiru's courtyard. Upon entering, Li Ye saw Fu Guiru, her eldest sister Li Yue, and her younger sister Fu Yiruo.

Because of the share issue, the eldest sister skipped lunch and came to Fu Guiru's place to "ask her mother for instructions." Right now, she was wiping away tears with her head down, while her younger sister, Fu Yiruo, was serving her by handing her a handkerchief.

Meanwhile, her mother, Fu Guiru, sat calmly to the side, neither sad nor happy, her face serene.

Li Ye said helplessly, "Mother, those shares were meant to be given to my sister, why did you make her cry again?"

Fu Guiru glanced coldly at Li Ye: "How do you know I insulted her? Since you're so magnanimous, why should I, as her mother, play the villain?"

Li Ye glanced at his eldest sister, Li Yue, whose face was streaked with tears, and wondered if his mother was lying. Despite Fu Guiru's strong personality, she was just as sexist as his grandmother, Wu Juying.

Fu Guiru laughed in exasperation: "Your sister didn't want those shares. I told her that these shares were her payment for taking care of you for over ten years on my behalf, and that it was a gift from me. She was so moved that she cried."

"Huh? Hahaha~"

Li Ye realized he had misunderstood, and quickly laughed, "Hehe, I misunderstood Mother. I just felt that money can never be earned enough or spent enough, but we only have a few close relatives. Money is nothing compared to family."

"Humph~"

Fu Guiru snorted coldly, then said to Li Yue and Fu Yiruo, "Did you both hear that? You two are incredibly lucky to have Li Ye as a brother; you should know that. Don't take it for granted."

Li Yue grumbled, "I didn't not cherish it."

Fu Yiruo also said with a smile, "That's right, Mom, I cherish this older brother very much."

"Alright, alright, you two get out of here!"

Fu Guiru waved her hand and chased her two daughters out.

My son is already married and has his own family, and he still has to share his earnings with these two girls. I can't stand it.

After Li Yue and Fu Yiruo left, Li Ye and the others began to discuss their overseas plans for the year.

Li Ye said in a deep voice, "According to my analysis, Japan's stock market should stabilize this year, but there is no possibility of a big surge in the short term. On the contrary, the financial market of the United States will enter an era of slow growth. After all, with the collapse of Singapore, it is truly alone in its pursuit of victory."

Luo Runbo immediately took notes, then cautiously said, "When we withdrew from Japan, we had already gradually deployed the Lighthouse, but because we didn't know the specific hotspots, we could only play it safe."

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing wrong with seeking stability, but if we have to focus on one aspect, I think computer technology will have a rapid development phase of five or six years. Didn't we invest in Cisco?"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

As the investment manager for everyone, Luo Runbo was well aware of Li Ye's amazing abilities. Even a casual remark could make everyone's investment returns several times, or even ten times, more.

Computer technology, Cisco, isn't that just investing in the computer networking industry? I've explained it so clearly. If you still don't understand, you might as well buy a block of tofu and smash your head against it. Your death will make room for someone else.

After listening to Li Ye's words, Fu Guiru did not ask about economic issues, but asked in a heavy tone: "Although Su'e has collapsed, the Independent Consortium has been established. They are still very powerful and are actively reforming. How could they possibly make Lighthouse stand alone?"

Li Ye sighed and said, "Because they have lost their backbone. They only think about joining the Western camp and have no desire to contend for supremacy."

Pei Wencong asked in surprise, "Join the Western camp? Do they really want to join Northern Japan?"

Fu Guiru was equally startled and said in a deep voice, "If that happens, what will happen to us?"

Luo Runbo was equally shocked and looked at Li Ye, waiting for his answer.

Since Britain's victory in its final naval battle of 1882, which exposed the empire's decline, the world has entered what is generally considered the Three Kingdoms period. Other established powers, whether they liked it or not, were destined to be subordinate. As anyone familiar with the Three Kingdoms period knows, this tripartite balance of power represented a stable situation, with each side having its own considerations.

But after the Great Wei destroyed Shu, Jiangdong wouldn't be able to cause trouble for long. And the country of the Lighthouse has a habit of "fighting the second-in-command." If the Independent States join the camp led by the Lighthouse, will the mainland still have a good future?
Fu Guiru was once a militia company commander, and Pei Wencong was deeply connected with the mainland, so neither of them wanted what Li Ye said to become a reality.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Wait until I finish speaking, okay? Even if the CIS want to join the Western camp, do you think the Western camp will accept them?"
European road rollers have been running rampant for so many years; how can such grudges be easily resolved? Moreover, relatively speaking, the West needs us far more than it needs them.

Pei Wencong and the others were taken aback, some of them doubtful and some of them disbelieving.

Although the people in Su'e are indeed fierce, they are, after all, white people like those in the West. Going back a hundred or two hundred years, they were all relatives. Now that a rebellious son has bowed his head and wants to return to the big family, why is he not accepted?
As for the West needing the mainland, this idea has already been recognized by Pei Wencong and others. In the past two years, the manufacturing industry of the "lighthouse" has begun to move out on a large scale, and only the mainland can smoothly take over these industries.

After the mainland takes over these industries, it can supply the Lighthouse with cheap primary industrial products and also buy their high value-added products.

What can Sugo offer as a beacon?

Should we give him oil? The lighthouse has plenty of oil.

Give him a nuclear bomb? The Lighthouse doesn't lack nuclear bombs!
Ultimately, it's because those people in Sue don't have much that the Lighthouse needs, so they have no value in accepting it.

Pei Wencong finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Ye's words.

Although he really wanted to ask Li Ye if he had received any information from the mainland's higher-ups, he decided against it in the end, considering Li Ye's past "miracles".

Just a few hours ago he openly stated that he would "go all the way down this path," but now you're being suspicious and doubtful. Your conviction is far too weak.

Luo Runbo cautiously asked, "Mr. Li, if the CIS fails to join the West, will the confrontation continue? We are planning to increase investment in the north, and if the situation becomes unstable..."

Li Ye nodded slightly and said, "I think Eastern Europe is still worth investing in for the long term. The Russians have a lot of assets, so you could pick up some bargains, but I wouldn't recommend it for long-term investment."

"Ok, I see."

Luo Runbo quickly wrote down Li Ye's original words, not daring to make a single mistake, his attitude could only be described as "devout".

After Luo Runbo and Pei Wencong left, Li Ye chatted with his mother for a while before asking about Nakamura Corporation.

After Naoto Nakamura offended Li Ye, Li Ye asked his mother to cause trouble for the Nakamura family. Fu Guiru then seized the opportunity and decisively acquired a portion of the shares of Nakamura Corporation.

However, Naoto Nakamura later disappeared, and Li Ye put the matter out of his mind until Kenji Nakamura came looking for him again, at which point he remembered the incident.

"That Nakamura Corporation in Yokohama? They should be bankrupt by now, right?"

"Yes, I heard it went bankrupt. What will happen to our shares?"

"Shares?"

Fu Guiru smiled smugly and said, "When I first heard that the Japanese were trying to take Xiaoyu from you, I used some tricks to acquire a portion of their shares. Later, I heard that Nakamura Naoto had disappeared, so I didn't take it seriously."

But that old man from the Nakamura family was very persistent. He came looking for them when the Japanese stock market and land prices were at their peak, wanting to buy back their shares and land at several times the price.”

"You told me back then that Japan's economy might collapse, so I made a killing. A few months later, the Japanese stock market started to crash."

"."

Li Ye stared at his mother in astonishment, never expecting that he would actually be the one to help Nakamura Kensuke go bankrupt!
