Hexagonal God

Chapter 397 Showing off one’s edge
The Ning family’s breakfast was very rich, and it was not known whether it was prepared because of Su Mo’s arrival or Li Hejun’s arrival.

There was a round table where everyone sat down.

Li Hejun first took out the two boxes of tea he brought with him: "I know that Lao Ning has everything he needs here, so I got some top-quality Dahongpao, but it's a bit embarrassing to show off."

Ning Shenghua smiled and said, "Old Li is too polite. Aunt Zhang, take the tea leaves to the study. We'll try them after dinner."

Li Hejun finally sat down and looked at the various breakfasts on the table. He chuckled and said, "Old Ning, you're so expensive. I already had breakfast this morning. I didn't expect you to have breakfast so late."

Ning Shenghua and his wife looked at each other and didn't say much.

Ning Yan stole a glance at Su Mo, then curled her lips slightly.

Su Mo knew that this breakfast should be prepared for him, but he got up late, so Li Hejun came over before dinner time.

Ning Shenghua picked up his chopsticks and said, "It's okay, just consider it an early lunch."

Everyone started eating, and at the table, Ning Yan's mother kept asking Su Mo to eat.

Su Mo had a big appetite, and he didn't intend to be polite. He nodded and started eating.

Li Hejun didn't eat much, as he had indeed eaten in the morning.

Maybe because there were outsiders around, no one talked much.

After dinner, the servant had already prepared tea in the study, and Ning Shenghua invited Li Hejun to go to the study.

"Su Mo, come along and listen to your uncle Li's business advice."

Even if Ning Shenghua hadn't said it, Su Mo would have gone too, so he immediately followed.

Li Hejun looked at Su Mo who followed him and felt a little displeased.

In his opinion, this was Ning Shenghua promoting his son-in-law. Old Ning only had one precious daughter, and in the future, the hundreds of billions of assets would all belong to his son-in-law. There was nothing wrong with that.

But I came to you today for something, can you please respect me?

But it was obvious that he couldn't say anything, after all, he was asking for help.

The three of them sat down in the study, and Ning Shenghua spoke first.

"Old Li, your business has been booming this year, and your net worth has skyrocketed. It's almost over a thousand, right?"

Li Hejun smiled and waved his hands: "It's all fake, it doesn't count."

"You're too modest, Su Mo. You also know your Uncle Li's Hanergy Group, right? It's a giant enterprise with a market value of over 300 billion Hong Kong dollars and the world's number one in the clean energy field."

Ning Shenghua still hasn't forgotten the purpose of today, which is to let Su Mo feel the power of wealth. What does it mean to have a net worth of hundreds of billions? I believe Su Mo can understand.

Su Mo nodded slightly: "How could I not know? Walking down the street, you can see slogans everywhere: 'More Hanergy, less smog.'"

Li Hejun felt very comfortable after being hit by Su Mo neither too hard nor too lightly.

This slogan was thought up by him and is his masterpiece. Now that it is spoken by a young man, he feels that it has become popular among the whole nation.

"Haha! Xiao Su, you're also in business, so it's good to have a longer-term vision. Global environmental protection is currently a very important issue, so you might consider this aspect in the future."

Su Mo nodded. "Thank you, Uncle Li, for your advice. I also know this. In the clean energy sector, you can get government subsidies. Especially in the past two years, because we have been upholding the banner of environmental protection and walking on the right path, the government has provided great policy support, whether it is subsidies, land acquisition, or government help in locating bank loans. If it weren't for the sudden change in policy this year, and the subsidies becoming limited in time, Uncle Li's Hanergy would probably be even more prosperous than it is now."

Ning Shenghua was listening with a smile at first, but as he listened, his expression gradually became serious.

He works in finance and investment banking, and has never paid much attention to specific news about clean energy.

But after hearing what Su Mo said, he immediately realized something different.

With the adjustment of national policies, is Mr. Li’s life getting harder?

Li Hejun's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

This is an expert!
Did Lao Ning deliberately instruct Su Mo to say this? Or was it Su Mo's own idea?

Li Hejun is more inclined to the former. Otherwise, how could a young boy like Su Mo pay attention to policy adjustments in the field of clean energy? Isn't this nonsense?

Was Lao Ning deliberately unwilling to help him? So he used Su Mo to say it?

For a moment, Li Hejun had a lot of random thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face.

He simply smiled and waved his hand, "My dear nephew, you're thoughtful, but it's not that serious. After all, the potential of a company is directly reflected in the stock market. To be honest, my dear nephew, just as your Uncle Ning said, our group's market value in Hong Kong Island has exceeded 300 billion Hong Kong dollars."

When Ning Shenghua heard this, he also paid attention to Su Mo's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo's expression didn't change at all when he heard the 300 billion figure. He even smiled and responded to Li Hejun, "Uncle Li's company is doing well. Unlike many large domestic enterprises nowadays, which appear to be prosperous on the surface, they are actually supported by banks. At the end of the year, the banks require capital to flow back, and when the loans need to be repaid, they have to rob Peter to pay Paul. In order to appear prosperous, they even have to manipulate the stock price in the stock market to gain the trust of financial institutions."

Ning Shenghua was listening on the side, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

At this point, he asked Su Mo, "Manipulating the stock market isn't easy." "Uncle Ning is right. It's not easy to manipulate the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, but it's not necessarily the same outside. The regulation of US and Hong Kong stocks is less stringent than here. Some things aren't difficult to do, but the risks are huge. When a company no longer has the trust of banks, many things become uncertain. After all, when financial institutions no longer trust a company, it could lead to stockholders liquidating their positions, which could easily trigger a chain reaction of avalanches."

Ning Shenghua is of course aware of this. Having been in the stock market for so many years, he has seen many such things.

But no company has ever reached Hanergy's level and encountered the situation Su Mo described.

He fell into deep thought, and Li Hejun's face over there had turned ugly.

Although Su Mo seemed to be talking about someone else, in fact, every word he said was about him.

And every word this kid said hit the nail on the head. This is exactly the dilemma he is facing now.

But some things are very secretive, even Ning Shenghua doesn’t know, how did this kid know?
Seeing Ning Shenghua starting to think about what Su Mo said, Li Hejun became a little anxious.

"My dear nephew, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Are you insinuating about your uncle?"

Seeing that Li Hejun had lost his composure, Su Mo didn't bother to be polite with him.

This person may appear to be doing well now, but he will be thrown into jail soon.

Not only was he imprisoned, but several of his senior executives were also imprisoned.

There are many reasons, involving many banks, and some places have been involved in fraud.

Su Mo even knew that Hanergy's collapse was also due to Li Hejun himself, because he cashed out 3 billion in the stock market, which also aggravated the crisis of trust.

Su Mo didn't remember when he cashed out, but now it seems that if he can't get money from Ning Shenghua this time, he might do the same when he returns.

Su Mo didn't want to be nice to this liar who turned from the richest man to the biggest loser.

The domineering side of his character was revealed at this moment.

"Uncle Li, since you're talking like that, I'll be frank. I see you brought a financial statement, but it definitely doesn't include any information about your stock market performance in Hong Kong Island, nor does it include any information about the bank. However, there's some inside information that can't be concealed. Let me tell you four words: Jinzhou Bank."

Hearing these words, Li Hejun's face became visibly flustered.

In fact, Su Mo didn't know the specific situation, but he knew that Li Hejun's arrest was related to Jinzhou Bank, involving tens of billions of funds.

Since he was able to be caught, there must be some unknown behind-the-scenes dealings, or even things that cannot be seen in the light of day.

So Su Mo's simple four words made Li Hejun a little confused.

The young man in front of him was no longer a young man, but a demon that was ready to devour him at any time.

Li Hejun could no longer sit still. He stood up and said, "Lao Ning, it seems that your family doesn't welcome me anymore. Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had this intention? Why let a young man embarrass me?"

Although Ning Shenghua didn't know the specific situation, he knew something was wrong from observing his words and expressions.

Old Li couldn't hold on any longer and wanted me to help him fill the hole.

Never try to plug a hole lightly, especially a big one.

The presence of a big hole means that the inside is rotten, and it is extremely unlikely to revive it.

Those who ask you to help plug a hole will always try to whitewash the situation. To put it simply, they are trying to lure you into a trap.

If Su Mo hadn't reminded me today, I would have probably been tricked by him.

After all, Ning Shenghua had already thought of asking Li Hejun to come over to help him make money. Hanergy does look very glorious now.

But in this situation, if Ning Shenghua still doesn't understand, he doesn't deserve to be here today.

Facing Li Hejun's attack, he simply responded coldly: "Brother Li, I understand your intentions, but I think this matter needs further consideration. If it's convenient, you could send me your group's financial report. Of course, not the one in front of you, but the actual financial report. Please also explain the Jinzhou Bank and Hong Kong stock issues. I will find a professional to evaluate it. If there are no problems, then we can still study it."

"Okay, okay! Lao Ning, you are awesome. I've made friends with you for nothing. It's inconsiderate of me to come to your house today. Goodbye."

After saying that, Li Hejun didn't give Ning Shenghua and Su Mo a chance to speak, and walked out the door quickly.

Ning Shenghua and Su Mo still saw him off to the gate, but Ning Shenghua knew that with Li Hejun gone, their friendship was over.

But he didn't feel sorry at all, and even felt fortunate.

Because the money Li Hejun wanted to get this time was not just a little bit, it involved tens of billions of funds.

Ning Shenghua broke out in a sweat at the thought of the consequences of this investment going down the drain.

How dangerous!
Looking back at Su Mo, the guy who made her find fault with him last night actually became pleasing to the eye now.

Well, my daughter has good taste.
