Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 574 The Underestimated Hong Kong Rich Man
"With your height~ you really don't play basketball?"

In the private room of the restaurant ~ Big Brother Liu looked at Chen Li's height and expressed some emotion.

Well. Okay!This is a normal phenomenon, so normal that Chen Li is now used to being asked if he is a professional athlete.

After all, a height close to 1 meters is considered relatively tall even in the north these days.

Let's put it this way~ The main guard of the domestic men's basketball team is about the same height as Chen Li.

In the domestic basketball league, the main guards of most teams are not even taller than Chen Li, that is, some forwards or centers are taller than Chen Li.

And these days, people's first reaction to a tall person is that this guy should be a basketball player.

If you get negative news, it's probably a pity not to play basketball at this height.

Chen Li is almost used to it now, because whenever he meets someone for the first time, he will inevitably be asked such questions.

In fact, Chen Li is also a little strange. In his previous life, his height was actually only 1 meters. In this life, for some reason, his height has grown by another 78 centimeters.

In fact, not only Chen Li's height changed, but also Chen Li's younger sister, Chen Xue.

This is mainly because the father of the two siblings is not short in height. Although he is only 1 meters, he is considered quite good among his generation.

Chen Xue's previous life was only 1 meters, and Chen Li's was 68 meters. The height of the two brothers and sisters belonged to the top group of people of the same age in Erlong Town.

But in this life, Chen Li has soared to 1 meters, while Chen Xue has grown to 88 meters.

Don't underestimate the four centimeters and ten centimeters, this kind of thing is not calculated by numbers at all.

Anyway, Chen Li couldn't figure it out. Even though their family's living conditions were much better in this life, the gap was somewhat exaggerated.

Of course, outsiders don't know these things. In their eyes, especially in the eyes of southerners, it is a pity that Chen Li, a big man of 1 meters, does not play basketball.

But~ Of course the boss Liu doesn't think so, the reason why he asked this sentence is more just a joke with Chen Li.

After all, the boss Liu knew Chen Li's identity very well. Although he was young, his wealth was beyond the reach of ordinary basketball players.

That's right~ Even if it's still 2000, the informatization is not so serious, but for someone like Big Brother Liu, it's still very easy to investigate Chen Li's background.

Of course~ the main reason is that Chen Li didn't hide much at all.

In the eyes of Big Boss Liu, not mentioning the properties under Chen Li's name, the money he handed over to Mu Xiaoqing in the capital market is enough for Big Boss Liu Gao to take a look at.

Uh~ But it's just a high-level look, that's all!As for the reason
It's because the news that boss Liu got was that the money that Mu Xiaoqing currently controls doesn't belong to Chen Li alone, but to a company called Ideal Fund.

The results of the investigation showed that Chen Li was the boss behind the company, but that didn't mean that all the money belonged to Chen Li.

After all~ Since it is a fund, it often represents many people, and Chen Li is just one of them.

In fact, the big guy Liu invited Chen Li to dinner this time because he wanted to take a look at Chen Li, a young up-and-coming star.

To put it bluntly~ he was just curious, after all according to the information he got, Chen Li was really very young.

But what to say~ For the boss Liu, his desire to see Chen Li might just be a sudden idea, but when it came to Chen Li, it made him think about it for a long time.

Ever since Chen Li received the invitation from Big Boss Liu, he has been muttering in his heart, what is this Big Boss Liu going to do to find him out of nowhere.

It's fine if it's a good thing~ If the other party has any bad thoughts about me, what should I do?

After all, Mu Xiaoqing rejected the other party before, judging from traditional film and television works, this might make the other party unhappy.

In short~ Before meeting the big brother Liu, Chen Lili made many assumptions, but the only thing he didn't think about was that he really just wanted to meet himself.

This is actually a bit like when Zhou Xiaoli's father, Zhou Bowen, invited Chen Li to dinner. At that time, Chen Li also imagined a lot of things.

Even Zhou Bowen's plan to acquire Ideal Fried Chicken was conceived by Chen Li.

But at the last meeting, Boss Zhou just wanted to meet Chen Li.

But in any case, this is actually the reality, and it is also the biggest difference between the superior and the inferior.

In the eyes of the superior, he may have just done a very casual thing.

But when it comes to the subordinates, he has to use his limited experience to guess the thoughts of the superiors.

Even... what he thought was wrong, but he couldn't think about it.

After all, in the eyes of the subordinates, everything the superiors do should have its meaning.

But in fact~ they just randomly took a free time to meet you.

This time~ the boss Liu just accidentally heard that the boss behind Mu Xiaoqing was a young man, and then suddenly became interested, so he invited Chen Li.

"The future is terrifying!"

The boss Liu picked up the wine glass, touched Chen Li, and let out a sigh of emotion.

Once upon a time~ His boss Liu was also young.

Moreover, Liu, the big boss at the time, also started his career by making crazy money in the capital market when he was young.

This guy had a nickname in the capital market back then, and he was called a stock market sniper.

Stock market sniping is actually very popular here on Hong Kong Island. Basically, it is spending money to buy the stock of a listed company.

Often, the management rights of these listed companies are basically not so stable, so in order to avoid problems with the management rights of listed companies, the company has to withdraw these stocks at a high price.

The boss Liu~ started his career with this business, so when he was looking at Chen Li, it somewhat reminded him of his former self.

After all~ Although Chen Li is playing short selling, it is basically the same as stock market sniping.

Especially since Chen Li is a young kid, it is easy for the boss Liu to think of the past.

"Mr. Liu praised you!"

"Although I am in the mainland, I still have great admiration for Mr. Liu."

"Especially Mr. Liu, who was in the stock market back then, and now he has established a huge business empire. This is what I need to learn with all my heart."

I have to say~ This is actually the reason why Chen Li always wants to hide behind the scenes, because he really doesn't like this kind of social interaction.

Obviously he didn't like the person in front of him very much, but he had no choice but to please him.

To be honest~ In fact, it's not that Chen Li has never thought about it. When a person is like the protagonists in novels or film and television dramas, he doesn't need to care about the other party's wealth, status or even background.

Say what you want to say, and reject the other party if you want to reject the other party!

But the reality is that there is some helplessness. Mu Xiaoqing can refuse the solicitation of the boss Liu, after all, it is a normal work relationship.

In addition, Mu Xiaoqing himself had a job, so it was normal for him to reject Big Brother Liu.

But if Chen Li refuses the other party, it is really not giving the other party face.

Although it is really important to talk about it, Chen Li is definitely not afraid of Big Brother Liu, he is a system host after all, even if Big Brother Liu wants to do something to him, he is not in vain.

But the question is, isn't that necessary?

Chen Li is not a fool, why would he provoke his enemies?

Of course, it is a bit too much to say that the enemy is somewhat, but they have already given Chen Li face and invited him to dinner. If Chen Li still refuses to give others face, it will be a bit of a slap in the face.

And after the meeting, the boss Liu didn't do anything to Chen Li. Even if Chen Li didn't like this person because of his previous life, Chen Li absolutely couldn't hit him in the face at this time.

Even ordinary people understand the principle of "people praise people", so Chen Li couldn't be so stupid as to directly express that he doesn't like this guy.

Therefore, speaking nonsense when meeting people, and talking nonsense when seeing ghosts, this is actually the basic operation in shopping malls.

The kind of honest people who say one thing and say one thing about another. Although there are not none in the business field, there are definitely only a very small number of them!
Fortunately~ Chen Li is not one of them!
But it is precisely because he is not one of them that he has to appear on this occasion for entertainment.

In fact, it makes sense~ If it is an ordinary businessman, this invitation from Big Brother Liu will probably be a rare opportunity in his life.

Anyway, Big Brother Liu is also a top rich man in Hong Kong Island. To have the opportunity to hook up with this big guy. For ordinary people, it may be the best opportunity in his life.

But Chen Li didn't have this idea. He didn't need others to give him a chance. As long as no one blocked his development, he would have the confidence to start his career.

Therefore, compared to other people who met the big brother Liu's submissiveness and reasoning, they behaved more calmly.

Although they also said compliments, they were called compliments, but what Chen Li said was called politeness!
Hmm~ If you describe it in written language, this should be the so-called "neither humble nor overbearing" in the novel.

Of course~ Chen Li doesn't have such noble sentiments, he just simply doesn't like this guy in front of him.

To be honest~ In fact, Chen Li wants to chat with the big guy in front of him about his romantic affairs more than these social conversations.

Speaking of it~ Chen Li doesn't like this guy in front of him, in fact, it may have something to do with it.

After all, the big guy Liu's reputation as a beauty collector is there, and several well-known actresses have had some emotional entanglements with him.

Two of them were even screen goddesses recognized by Chen Li in his previous life when he was young.

It's just that Chen Li still has some sense of propriety. Regardless of whether the other party cares or not, he is not suitable to rashly bring up this topic.

This meal is still very enjoyable.

In addition to exchanging pleasantries with Chen Li, the boss Liu mainly focused on the stock market crash brought about by the bursting of the Internet bubble.

Yes~ The crisis caused by the bursting of the Internet bubble in 2000 almost involved the global capital market.

Including Hong Kong stocks, almost all capital markets have been more or less sluggish.

Among them, some technology stocks that were originally extremely popular have been sold off recently.

To put it bluntly, ordinary people have begun to distrust the previously strong technology stocks.

The same is true for Hong Kong stocks, especially the stock prices of some technology companies have plummeted, and the assets of the boss Liu have also shrunk during this crisis.

However~Compared with other people's fancy on technology stocks, Big Brother Liu still pays more attention to investing in real estate and some traditional industries.

So relatively speaking, his loss is not big.And with the net worth of the big brother Liu, even if the loss in the capital market is greater than him, it is nothing but water!
Although this buddy made his fortune in the stock market in the early years, he is no longer limited to the capital market.

Therefore, the profit and loss in the capital market may be a matter of happiness and distress for him.

This can be seen from the attitude of the boss Liu and Chen Li when chatting.

"Oh?"

"So, you are not optimistic about Nasdaq?"

"Oh~ I didn't expect the Internet bubble to have such a big impact?"

"However~ I think what you said makes sense."

"Well~ Another day, I'll invest some money in Nasdaq for fun!"

"Don't worry~ I don't have much money, so I just make a few hundred million and just play around."

To be reasonable, Chen Li felt a little sour when he heard the boss Liu's tone.

God knows how much effort he had to spend to raise the 500 million US dollars. The liquidity of several companies under his name was almost drained.

And Mu Xiaoqing has been staying on Hong Kong Island exhaustedly, and it took nearly half a year to turn that 500 million US dollars into nearly [-] million.

But the big brother Liu here just threw hundreds of millions for fun, and Chen Li really wanted to imitate Brother Crow and perform a table-turning performance.

Of course, this is just thinking about it, he is not a fool or a swindler, how could he overturn the table in front of the boss Liu?

Moreover, Chen Li also discovered one thing from the tone of the big brother Liu, that is, the list of the richest people he saw in his previous life. He definitely underestimated the rich people in Hong Kong Island.

At that time, the mainland had already become rich, and most of the richest people in China were from the mainland, and there were not many people on Hong Kong Island who could rank in the top ten.

But to be honest, the wealth of those people in the mainland is largely based on the stock market.

How much money you really ask those people to spend, most of them will not be able to pay.

But these rich people on Hong Kong Island have been rich for decades. Now that the boss Liu is talking about hundreds of millions of funds, one can imagine how thick the banknotes are in their pockets.

In his previous life, Chen Li read a news saying that during the Asian financial crisis in 97, the boss Liu lost more than 200 billion in the company's stock price and his own investment.

Then he was in [-]!

And when you think about it, Forbes this year's valuation of this big brother Liu seems to be more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. A person worth more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars can casually spend hundreds of millions of funds and throw it into the stock market for fun. Some bullshit.

"Hi~!"

"Xiao Chen, don't just chat with me, come ~ let's drink ~ eat food."

"Don't tell me, the two Dong Xingban you caught today seem to taste better than the Dong Xing Ban in the restaurant!"

"It seems that if you eat Dong Xingban in the future, you must eat the newly caught that day!"
