After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 287 A cunning rabbit has three burrows
The 72nd floor of Sumitomo Mitsui Headquarters, Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku.

"As a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family all the more during every festive season. Mr. Lu, long time no see. Happy New Year."

Seeing Lu Liang coming over, Lao Ma smiled and personally brought a plate of dried fruit snacks: "Let's ask for a good start."

"Let's have fun together." Lu Liang smiled and picked up a plum. He knew that this custom existed in some places.

When New Year guests come to visit, the host will serve a plate of dried fruit snacks to show respect to the guests, and the guests must eat a little bit to show their respect in return.

But this is the host's act of courtesy to the guest, and it seems that Lao Ma is more than just a guest of Sumitomo Mitsui.

Lu Liang looked to the side and saw a man in his early forties. Lao Ma introduced him, "This is Mr. Ota Ling."

The rotating chairman of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation is the bank after the merger of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. Just like the two-party struggle in the United States, the chairmanship will be rotated every once in a while.

To date, Ota Rei has served as chairman for seven years. Under his management, Sumitomo Mitsui has maintained an annual growth rate of 12%, and no one within the group can compete with him.

"Hello, Mr. Lu. I have always heard your name. Today I finally have the chance to meet you."

Ota Ling spoke standard Mandarin, and the standard was enough to make Lu Liang feel inferior.

"Hello, Mr. Ota."

Lu Liang shook hands with him. As they talked, he looked at Lao Ma and asked him how the conversation with the businessman went.

Last Monday, the businessman took office as the 45th president, and on Thursday, he set off for a visit to the United States.

He also became the first Chinese person to meet the businessman after his election, and the two discussed small business development and employment issues.

In the next four years, the Ali Group plans to create 100 million new small business jobs in the United States, especially serving the Midwest, which is a stronghold of businessmen.

Although netizens jokingly called it a smooth journey.

But Lu Liang knew that this was the price that Lao Ma had to pay for the mistake he made in supporting Larry.

However, it seemed like karma paid off, because she apologized for offending a businessman, and the businessman accepted her apology and returned the favor. As a result, Ali was removed from the blacklist and was able to enter the European and American markets.

"The result was good, but the process was almost fucking screwed."

Lao Ma is the entrepreneur Lu Liang knows who likes to swear the most. He warned Lu Liang that he must be very careful when meeting businessmen in the future.

Although the businessman is a political novice, he is an extremely successful real estate developer. Although he is ridiculed for running a casino and even going bankrupt, his essence is to avoid debt.

After all, which entrepreneur may go bankrupt six or seven times, but his wealth grows faster each time?

He is very smart and knows how to use rules. Lao Ma speaks highly of the businessman.

Lao Ma suddenly gloated: "Mr. Lu, you'd better be careful, he seems to be targeting you."

During the conversation, they talked about Lu Liang. The businessmen seemed to respect Lu Liang very much. It would be fine if ordinary people respected him, but he was the 45th president, and it was not a good thing to be respected by him.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Lu Liang smiled and didn't take it too seriously.

The Americans are the leaders of the gangsters, and the businessmen are the leaders among them. There are at least eighty companies and individuals targeted by them.

In comparison, Lu Liang was more curious about how Lao Ma and Sumitomo Mitsui got together, and why they invited him?

It can't be just for warning, right?

Lao Ma looked at Ota Ling, the two of them got to know each other and talked about wanting to get Lu Liang to join and set up an international fund.

Sumitomo Mitsui holds 40%, and he and Lu Liang each hold 30%. However, Lu Liang can invest based on his ability and does not need to pay any money.

The registered capital of this company will be 9000 million US dollars. As long as Lu Liang agrees, he can get million US dollars for free.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Ota, I need some time to think about it." Lu Liang frowned, feeling that this matter was not that simple.

He is not like Ma, who gives speeches around the world with his political intentions written on his face.

Once you go abroad, you are no longer representing yourself, so you should carefully consider your stance.

"Mr. Lu..." Ota Ling was very sincere, but when the words were about to come out of his mouth, Lao Ma waved his hand to stop him.

Old Ma smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, it's getting late, why don't we find a place to reminisce about the past?"

"The guest should follow the host's wishes." Lu Liang shrugged and said goodbye to Ota Ling.

The two came to the luxury apartment that Lao Ma bought in Ginza for 2800 million US dollars.

It's 1800 square meters, and there are seven people including a chef, maid and cleaner. However, the level of luxury is still not as good as Lao Xu's.

"Mr. Lu, please come this way."

Old Ma smiled, changed into his home clothes, and led Lu Liang to the dining place.

He likes the restaurants here. Located in Ginza, the most prosperous area in Tokyo, he can dine quietly while enjoying the street view of Tokyo.

The building is not high, only on the ninth floor. Because the whole country is in a long-term earthquake zone, the urban area stipulates that the highest building cannot exceed the tenth floor.

There are no tall buildings and no densely packed ants. Looking down, you can even see the expressions of pedestrians on the street.

"Mr. Lu, would you like something to drink?"

The waiters brought plates of delicious food one after another. Old Ma stood up and went to the wine cabinet. Lu Liang shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ma. I won't drink at noon."

“This soup tastes delicious.”

Lao Ma smiled and talked about the cooperation discussed at the Sumitomo Mitsui headquarters: "Mr. Lu, you might want to consider it."

Just now, Mr. Ota from Sumitomo Mitsui was present, so there were some things he was not comfortable saying.

Lao Ma probably guessed Lu Liang's idea. It was understandable that he wanted to develop both finance and industry.

But he should not waste his abilities. The domestic development focus is not on the financial industry at all, and Lu Liang should not put all his eggs in one basket. A cunning rabbit needs three burrows.

Looking at those entrepreneurs, such as Xiao Ma, Lei Zi, and Qiangzi, and the father of Lu Liang’s good friend Xiao Wang.

They have invested heavily in properties in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore just to leave themselves a way out.

The national conditions of Southeast University are too special. The reform and opening up has only happened in the past few decades. After all, it is socialist, not capitalist, so we have to be on guard.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your kindness. I will consider it carefully."

Lu Liang pondered for a long time, and softened his tone a little, not as decisive as before. No matter what Lao Ma's intention was, it was true that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Just like the family trust he established in Hong Kong, it is one of them, but it is not enough.

It would be better to buy some assets in Tokyo and Singapore, so that you can rest assured.

"Mr. Lu, how many days do you plan to stay in Tokyo?"

Old Ma smiled and said nothing more. Lu Liang was a smart man and would agree sooner or later.

He didn't have any special intentions. He just wanted to get Lu Liang to join him to increase his own value.

Some time ago, after a trip to America, Lao Ma realized how famous Lu Liang was.

Including with Ota Rei, although the two were old acquaintances, they were not close enough to set up a company together.

The key is that he knows Lu Liang and can help to make connections, so he can get a share of the pie.

Capitalist society is a social environment prefixed with capital, which is enough to illustrate the value of capital.

Hot war will not break out easily. Economic war and financial war will become the mainstream in the future.

After dinner, the two went to the nearby Fumiyama and played a few rounds of golf.

Lu Liang didn't know how to do it, so he just picked up the club and swung it randomly. He knew very well that it didn't matter whether he could do it or not, because a golf course is not a place to play golf, but a social occasion.

With one swing of the club, the ball flies dozens of meters away, the club is thrown to the caddy, and the players walk on the endless lawn, chatting as they walk. This is the meaning of golf.

Lao Ma is very talkative. He can quote various anecdotes and cases from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, at will. There is no such thing as a dull moment when chatting with him.

Since lunch, he has not mentioned the cooperation again, but instead talked about some irrelevant things.

Successful people, without exception, are highly motivated, and once something is mentioned, they will think deeply about it.

Mentioning it too much will backfire.

It was not until the evening that Lu Liang said goodbye to Lao Ma and made an appointment to meet again in China next time. He returned to the hotel in the city.

Xiao Wang was very curious: "What did you talk about?"

"Children should not ask too many questions about adult matters."

"Fuck you~"

At night, Lu Liang locked himself in the study.

After thinking for a long time, I finally called Lao Ma. He agreed to join but would not show up.

Just like operating private equity now, he will only arrange a trusted person for single-line contact.

"Just think of it as a good relationship. I hope it won't be of any use to me." Lu Liang whispered to himself.

Lao Ma once said that rapid social development can cover up all shortcomings, but development is not unlimited. There will always be a day of stagnation or even deflation.

By that time, classes will be solidified, the gap between the rich and the poor will further widen, various incidents will occur frequently, and social hostility will grow.

We have to drag a few people out to sacrifice to the gods to appease the public anger. Lu Liang is not sure if it will be him, but it is always a good idea to be prepared.
