Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 301 Li Rongzhen's Methods (6k views, please subscribe)

Knowing how to initiate a pairing request with someone of the opposite sex is actually a skill.

If you tell a girl, "I want to stay at your place tonight," a lot of lewd thoughts will instantly flood her mind, and due to her long-standing upbringing, she will instinctively or subconsciously feel embarrassed.

This way, even if a girl is interested in you, she will be reserved, which unnecessarily makes it more difficult for you to rank up.

But if you rephrase it, you'll often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

For example, "Let's have breakfast together tomorrow," "My cat can do backflips," "Let me walk you upstairs," and so on.

The subtext of all these words is the same: I want to stay with you a little longer, preferably for the rest of the night.

The real meaning behind those words is clear to everyone.

Even if you are rejected, it won't look too bad.

Although Lü Yao and Zhou Bella were already very familiar with each other, and had played cards together to score points more than once or twice, women always succumb to their emotions, especially young girls like Zhou Bella. So when Lü Yao said those words, a hint of water appeared in Zhou Bella's bright eyes.

But Zhou Bella still considered Lü Yao's perspective: "But..."

Lu Yao raised his hand and ruffled Zhou Bella's hair: "Okay, there's no 'but'."

Does she think she's some kind of fairy godmother?

After settling the matter, the two continued to stroll around. Apart from Xinjie Road, there were basically no places to go for entertainment in the Shangnan area at night. Even in Xinjie Road, there were hardly any people after midnight.

Fortunately, Lü Yao and Bella came out relatively early. There were still many men and women who had just finished get off work strolling around the nearby shopping street, and the businesses were doing quite well.

Lu Yao accompanied Zhou Bella to buy some trinkets and two ice creams to eat. When they got to the mall, Lu Yao specially picked out a few clothes for Zhou Bella that suited her temperament and appearance.

Bella Zhou is very suitable for fashionable sporty style or mix-and-match style clothes right now.

Although Lü Yao did not study fashion design, he has developed a keen eye after immersing himself in the short video era for so long.

A plaid British-style cap, paired with a fluffy short jacket and scarf, and a pair of slim-fit jeans, can bring out Zhou Bella's wheat-colored skin and give her an exceptionally sophisticated exotic look.

With more accessories and more elaborate clothing patterns, Zhou Bella can easily create a gypsy-style outfit.

Even hippie style outfits can be easily pulled off by Bella Zhou.

That's why wearing clothes and styling them are two different things.

Walking around the mall with Lü Yao, Zhou Bella felt like she was in a real-life dress-up show.

At first it was fine, but later Lu Yao himself got a little carried away and put together several different styles of outfits for Zhou Bella. Zhou Bella quickly shouted, "That's enough, that's enough! We have more clothes than we can wear at home."

Looking at the huge pile of shopping bags, Lu Yao couldn't help but praise, "I never expected your style of dress could be so varied."

Initially, Lü Yao was drawn to Zhou Bella's sunny, healthy, and vibrant tanned skin, and he envisioned her as a sporty beauty. This persona was indeed very successful, and Zhou Bella now has nearly five million sports-themed fans across all platforms.

However, the fitness industry is actually quite difficult to navigate.

Because many fitness enthusiasts in this circle often start to lose their mental sharpness as they work out.

The milder symptoms are that you always feel your muscles aren't big enough, and you think other people's muscles are all small dogs and not impressive enough.

Now, under every video or blog post Zhou Bella shares, there's a group of fitness enthusiasts who nitpick, saying that Zhou Bella didn't train this part well, that part wasn't good enough, and that she needs to improve and can contact them, or they just start acting like "know-it-alls" in the comments section.

Lü Yao doesn't understand these fitness enthusiasts. Why do you come online to show off instead of showing off in the gym in real life?

Lu Yao's understanding of fitness is to make his body look better, without excessively pursuing muscle mass.

Those who excessively pursue muscle mass will either end up using various supplements and advanced technology to shrink themselves into tiny peanuts while their brains atrophy, or they will be plagued by misfortune and await Chris's death knell.

Even those with excellent drug resistance could potentially become like Arnold Schwarzenegger, with their left and right hemispheres battling each other and their heads contorting into sharp, angular thinking.

Aside from these fitness veterans, most of the remaining fans are old perverts.

Bella Zhou's tanned skin and athletic persona are indeed very appealing to older, more masculine men. It's only among these older, more masculine men that we have the most diverse and inclusive appreciation of beauty, and the best of them are the older, more masculine men of the Fu Rui faction.

However, the economic value generated by old perverts is often the least, since many of them will renege on their debts or even report others after visiting those alleys to threaten to get free sex.

This resulted in Zhou Bella having a considerable number of fans across the internet, but among the group of internet celebrities who rose to fame in the early days of MCN companies, Zhou Bella had the lowest monthly income of all of them.

Cheng Xinyu's captivating and alluring voice, and Gao Chuning's lively and entertaining live stream effects, provide more emotional value and are more likely to generate revenue than Zhou Bella.

Lü Yao already knew about these circumstances.

Bella Zhou even felt upset and depressed for a period of time because of the vulgar language online.

Really.

No wonder so many beautiful female bloggers online are so hostile towards male netizens. If you had seen the private messages of those beautiful female bloggers, even if you were a man, you would explode in a second.

As for the women who follow the "Fu Yang Face Law"... especially the female bloggers who make a living through the internet and follow the "Fu Yang Face Law," they are simply ugly people who are prone to making trouble. They have developed distorted and dark personalities due to a long-term lack of the benefits and privileges of beauty.

But this time, Lü Yao saw the direction for Zhou Bella's transformation.

With such a versatile figure, she could totally transition into a fashion blogger and start selling products online.

The style and content of the videos can be completely referenced from those of the "Crazy Sisters," using the contrast between everyday life and after a makeover to create a video effect and thus achieve a wider reach.

The best part is!
A tanned complexion can definitely detract from one's appearance; the difference between dressing up and not dressing up is like night and day.

Lu Yao happily said to Zhou Bella, "I've discovered another potential in you. If managed properly, it's not impossible for you to become a top influencer with tens of millions of followers on a single platform in the future."

Bella Zhou was surprised: "Really?"

Despite having nearly five million followers across the internet, these followers are spread across six or seven online platforms. Apart from Weibo and live streaming platforms, where she has a larger number of followers, she has very few followers on other platforms. On the platform with the fewest followers, Zhou Bella only has a few hundred thousand.

Moreover, the stickiness and spending potential of their fans are not as good as those of other internet celebrities of the same period, such as Cheng Xinyu and Gao Chuning.

So when she learned that Lü Yao had discovered another potential in her, Zhou Bella was overjoyed: "This way I can make more money for the company and for you, Brother Lü!"

Lu Yao was speechless.

She's so damn virtuous!
Xiao Huijun, compared to Chef Sui's team, they can't even compare to the dead skin peeling off Bella's heels.

A warm current flowed through Lü Yao's heart, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub Zhou Bella's head again: "What do you mean by transferring money to me? These are fragments of wealth that you were born with."

Zhou Bella tilted her head and smiled: "That would require a talent scout like you, Brother Lü, to discover it."

Lu Yao carried the things outside and said, "Let's go back."

It's time to play cards and hone our skills.

Perhaps because it had been so long since he'd played cards with Bella, Bella's skills had become a bit rusty, but Lü Yao actually preferred this rustiness, because he could still win, and win many times over!
……

The next day, after having breakfast at Zhou Bella's residence, Lü Yao took Bella with him to work.

Then they started looking for a partner for Bella to work with.

This partner needs to be someone fun enough, someone who can get along with Bella, and most importantly, someone who can't have any bad intentions.

If someone were to ruin Bella's mood and make her feel depressed, then Lü Yao would definitely want to kill that person. Moreover, he really has the ability to get her into the Jiangxin Private Room.

However, choosing a partner is not something that can be done overnight. It would be best if Bella chose from among her friends, and then Lü Yao would test her.

In short, Lü Yao took this matter very seriously and immediately began to work on it.

At the same time, many other things in various other aspects are also being promoted.

Of all these matters, Lü Yao paid particular attention to the developments in Silla.

Li Rongzhen is currently under protection by Lü Yao and his team at Dongdaemun, but her activities in Silla have not stopped. After communicating with Lü Yao about some necessary operations, the results have been even better than when she was in Silla.

Because Lu Yao has Xu Shuncai and Gui Ya helping him in Silla, and they control the underground forces in Silla.

nowadays.

The Silla authorities have been digging deeper into the Ewha Womans University equestrian talent case, and have already uncovered the parents of the equestrian talent.

While revealing the identities of the equestrian prodigy's parents, the media in Silla also uncovered the source of the money spent on the prodigy's equestrian and horse racing training—the source of the money was none other than Lee Jae-young, the current chairman of the Samsung Group!
With the disclosure of this news, Lee Jae-yong's current situation has suddenly become extremely anxious and difficult.

The Silla people, who were already fond of gossip and meddling in other people's business, became increasingly critical of Lee Jae-yong after learning about these events, and more and more independent media outlets began to delve into the story behind it.

Instead of exposing the bombshell, some people chose to blackmail Lee Jae-young in exchange for a lifetime of wealth and luxury.

Then even these behind-the-scenes deals were captured by people arranged by Li Rongzhen, who were prepared to deal a harsh blow to Li Zairong when necessary.

More and more problems with Lee Jae-yong began to surface under pressure from Lee Yong-jin, Lu Yao, and Lee Jae-hyun.

This caused Lee Jae-yong of Silla a great deal of trouble every day, to the point that he had to spend more and more money to gamble on these matters.

So, did Lee Jae-yong not retaliate? Of course he did.

He also attempted to use public opinion to attack Lee Yong-jin and Lee Jae-hyun—yes, he had long realized that Lee Yong-jin and Lee Jae-hyun were behind all of this, so Lee Jae-yong had been attacking Lee Yong-jin and Lee Jae-hyun as well.

The public has been exposed for allegations that Li Rongzhen embezzled public funds, committed adultery, colluded with foreign capital to harm national interests and the property of the people, etc.

However, these actions caused limited harm to Li Rongzhen.

Because in the eyes of the outside world, Lee Yong-jin's identity is merely that of the president of Hotel Shilla, and he is not even a core executive of the Samsung Group.

Why would so many people care about a mere hotel president?
But Lee Jae-young is different. He is the chairman of Samsung Group, and in Silla, he is like the uncrowned king of Silla. In all the things that happen in the royal family, the emperor is always the protagonist.

Just like how people in ancient China always liked to discuss their emperor.

As for retaliating against Lee Jae-hyun, Lee Jae-young didn't even dare to go all out, because Lee Jae-hyun had evidence of him illegally raising funds for Lee Jae-young back then. Once Lee Jae-hyun went to jail, he would definitely not be able to get away with it either.

Therefore, Lee Jae-young could only try to trip up Lee Jae-hyun through family and career issues.

Unfortunately, these tactics were not very effective against Lee Jae-hyun.

Their CJ Electronics has already secured investment from Dongda Lu Yao and Rong Nianqing, and with Li Rongzhen's secret dealings, CJ Electronics is currently developing very well. Not only is the team being built quickly, but various high-tech equipment is also being introduced one after another.

Moreover, the arrival of high-end lithography equipment from abroad went even more smoothly than Li Zaixian and Lü Yao had imagined.

The reason for this is that Samsung Group became too incompetent under Lee Jae-young's leadership.

After Lee Jae-young took office as chairman of the Samsung Group, he was eager to bring benefits and advantages to his supporters, so he began to strangle manufacturers around the world. Not only were mobile phone manufacturers in Dongda, but he also strangled Apple's supply.

The goal is to seize a larger share of the consumer electronics market and increase the profits of the Samsung Group.

Aside from Apple, Google, Motorola, and other brands, it also has supply issues with their products... This is a classic case of not being able to distinguish between the big and small kings.

Silla Samsung was originally supported by capital from the Land of Light and is part of the global production supply chain. In the global supply chain dominated by the Western world, the Western world relies on intellectual property rights, technological innovation and financial means to reap the greatest profits.

Do the least amount of work and get the most money.

Meanwhile, regions like Shilla and Japan are in the middle of the supply chain, responsible for the production of cars, chips, electronics, and even entertainment products.

Meanwhile, the East, Southeast Asia, and other regions are at the very bottom of the global supply chain, where they often do the most and dirtiest work and earn the least amount of money for their hard work.

This situation lasted for a long time.

But as time went into the new millennium, especially after the first decade of the new millennium, the little brothers who had been arranged in an orderly manner began to disobey one by one. First it was Japan before the new millennium, then Silla, and next it was Dongda University.

Now is the time when Samsung Group is making the biggest moves.

However, high-end manufacturing technology cannot be mastered overnight. Even if the Western world wants to transfer this part of the industry back, the unions and employees who have become too sophisticated will cause manufacturing costs to rise dramatically, making their products uncompetitive in their own countries and even worldwide.

Just then, CJ Electronics jumped in.

They are from the same family, have very close blood ties, and have a deep grudge against Samsung. Moreover, they are a company of Shilla Gene... Although CJ Group and even CJ Electronics have connections with Dongdaemun, so what?
Why not just remove this connection through some means?

The important thing is!

The goal is to break Samsung's near-monopoly in the screen panel industry and weaken the Samsung Group's position in the semiconductor industry.

Both of these businesses are core businesses of the Samsung Group, so as long as CJ Electronics can develop to a level comparable to that of the Samsung Group, the Samsung Group will become very obedient.

So.

Internationally, there is a strong willingness to sell EUV lithography machines to CJ Electronics, but there are conditions attached: international capital must enter CJ Electronics, and the CJ Group must also allocate funds to invest in the panel industry.

Lee Jae-hyun was naturally very happy about these changes.

As for whether this will cause resentment from Dongda University... even if Dongda University is resentful, he still has to do it, because he has also seen that Lee Yong-jin has completely devoted himself to Dongda University on the Silla side.

He was somewhat isolated and helpless within the CJ Group.

Therefore, the entry of Western capital actually relieved Lee Jae-hyun.

From this perspective, Lee Jae-hyun's talent surpasses that of Lee Jae-young.

Lee Jae-hyun dared to do this because he was certain that Lü Yao and his group would not react excessively to his actions.

After international capital entered the market, it began to use various means to try to dilute Lü Yao's control over CJ Electronics, and even to kick Lü Yao out of CJ Electronics, or to sideline CJ Electronics and start a new company.

However, Lü Yao would certainly not give in so easily. He owns 33.4% of CJ Electronics' shares and has veto power, so many things were blocked on Lü Yao's side during the process of foreign capital entering the market.

So for the second half of March, Lee Jae-hyun was constantly arguing with Lu Yao about this matter.

During the tug-of-war, Lee Jae-hyun and foreign capital were acquiring or trying to persuade CJ Group's shareholders to take 67% of the shares, thereby diluting or eliminating Lu Yao's control over CJ Electronics through mergers or layoffs.

This was a perfectly legitimate tactic, so Lü Yao had no choice but to enter the Silla stock market and international securities markets to buy up stocks.

At the same time, he also tried various methods to persuade CJ Group's shareholders to stand on Lu Yao's side.

In this dispute, the CJ Group shares originally given to Dr. Liang Bosong's family and the shares donated to the Semiconductor Engineering Technology Research Institute became the key points of contention between the two sides.

……

Early April, in Wenzhen Garden.

This is the balcony that Lü Yao arranged for Li Rongzhen. It is equipped with translators, servants, and professional security personnel, as well as a professional medical team. They live here in a near-military-style, enclosed environment to provide Li Rongzhen with 24-hour professional and personalized medical services.

Fortunately, Wenzhen Garden is large enough that so many people living here are not crowded at all, and they have formed a relatively closed social circle, so it is easy to get through the months.

Especially after this long-term closed service ends, each of them will receive at least a million yuan in compensation from Li Rongzhen. Whenever they think of this, they can endure a lot of the bitterness and boredom.

However, after Lü Yao arranged for Li Rongzhen to stay here, he rarely came here.

But today.

Lü Yao has arrived.

Li Rongzhen met with Lü Yao in the hall of Wenzhen Garden. When she saw Lü Yao coming over, she smiled and said, "President Lü, you are a rare guest."

After nearly a year of study, Li Rongzhen, who already had some basic Chinese skills, became increasingly fluent in Chinese.

Lu Yao smiled and said politely, "I've been too busy lately to come see you. How have you been?"

Li Rongzhen didn't really have any feelings for Lü Yao; their relationship was more of a business partnership, even with the child in her womb. So, she politely replied to Lü Yao's courtesy, "I understand. President Lü is very busy and must be very tired."

Lu Yao smiled and asked, "How have things been going on your end lately? What's Li Zairong's reaction?"

Li Rongzhen laughed and said, "He is like a fly caught in a spider web. He is struggling, but it will not affect the overall situation."

Lü Yao nodded: "It seems you're determined to win, President Li." He then raised his teacup, offering tea in lieu of wine: "Then I'll congratulate you in advance."

Li Rongzhen also raised her teacup: "You're too kind."

After setting down the teacup, Lee Yong-jin asked, "President Lu didn't just come here for a casual chat, did he? Did you come here for Lee Jae-hyun's matter?"

Lü Yao was amused.

Although Lee Yong-jin was at Dongda University, her senses remained sharp.

Lu Yao exclaimed, "You've been at Dongda University for so long, and your senses are still so sharp. I really can't imagine what Lee Jae-yong would have to compete with you if your father had favored you a little more."

Whether in business or on the real battlefield, intelligence is always the most important thing.

Although Lee Yong-jin appears to be weak in Silla, she has an extremely strong ability to gather intelligence, which Lee Jae-yong is not even in the same league as her.

In addition, Lee Jae-yong made so many terrible moves in his attempt to seize power quickly...

Actually, making bad moves and doing wrong things isn't important; what's important is that these things shouldn't have fallen into Li Rongzhen's hands.

it's good now.

Lee Yong-jin's countermeasures against Lee Jae-yong came one after another, keeping Lee Jae-yong busy and overwhelmed.

of course.

There are still ways to deal with this.

For example, Li Zai Rong could have retreated gracefully and hidden behind the scenes by manipulating puppets, or he could have been ruthless and killed Li Rong Zhen at any cost... But if he had that kind of courage, he wouldn't have been played like this by Li Rong Zhen.

Lu Yao smiled and praised, "President Li, you really have a good way of doing things. Perhaps soon I should be calling you President Li."

Li Rongzhen looked at Lü Yao sincerely and said, "Before I met President Lü, I never had such ambitions, but with your and your friends' support, I feel that at this moment, I should say 'thank you for your kind words.'"

"So, President Lü, what brings you here? I will do my best to help you."
