Throwing the contract onto the bar counter, Soo-yeon smoothed it out with her palm.

Suddenly I found that there was a wet spot on my cuff.

"How could there be water?" Sooyeon apologized and took out a tissue to wipe the water stain.

"It doesn't matter. Are you signing here?"

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Li Zhenyu signed his name in a casual manner and paid the bill readily with his corporate card.

This time, all the properties will be registered under Universal Investments, which can offset part of the taxes for it.

Located in Cheongdam-dong, this semi-finished building has 6 floors above ground and 3 floors underground, with a total price of 16.5 billion.

Located in Gangnam District, 200 meters away from Gangnam Subway Station, this commercial building covers an area of ​​147 pings, has 2 underground floors and 8 above-ground floors, with a total price of 45.9 billion yuan.

Located in Samseong-dong, it covers an area of ​​126 pyeong, has 5 floors above ground, 1 floor underground, 1 floor for commercial use, and 12 rooms upstairs available for rent. It is an old residential building with a total price of 6.7 billion yuan.

With Choi Man-sik providing him with information, Universal Investment started a "sweep" mode in Seoul.

All the land that Li Zhenyu picked up fell into the hands of the company.

To this end, Global Investment spent a total of nearly 400 billion, or about 307 million US dollars.

The first two phases of the subprime mortgage market brought him only $150 million in profits.

Together with the $800 million in profits from the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the crisis brought him a total income of $3.15 billion.

This does not include the $2.7 billion in debt that could not be recovered due to bankruptcy caused by the subprime mortgage crisis.

When he thought of this, Li Zhenyu's heart ached.

That’s 2.7 billion, not 27 yuan.

Universal Investments, President’s Office.

"Brother, are you planning to retire and become a landlord?"

They invested a large amount of money in the real estate market and even transferred money back to the United States.

In Zhao Yingjun's opinion, this was obviously not a wise idea.

For ordinary people, the profits gained by buying properties at the bottom, waiting for the market to recover, and then selling them one by one are considerable.

But he is not an ordinary person, he is Li Zhenyu, who accurately predicted the subprime mortgage crisis and made a profit of over 5 billion US dollars from it.

Even if 2.7 billion of it cannot be recovered...

"hiss!"

Zhao Yingjun pressed his heart with his hand and barely survived.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Zhao Yingjun looked at him expectantly and had blind confidence in him.

Li Zhenyu was somewhat helpless, this was the 'benefit' of becoming famous.

Even if you say that farts smell good, there are people who will believe it.

"Finish the work at hand first, then consider the next step. When will Twitter and INS be available in China?"

Just three weeks after its official launch, INS has reached 1 million users in North America.

This data immediately makes it a phenomenal product in the "economic winter".

Countless investors waved their precious money and wanted to invest in INS.

But they were all blocked, and the timing of INS’s first round of financing has not been determined.

INS is not short of funds, and financing can be postponed.

As long as it is not explicitly rejected, investors will remain enthusiastic and open to it.

The most important thing at the moment is how to successfully launch INS in South Korea.

"The formalities are going through. The INS team will arrive in Seoul in three days to set up the server in preparation for the launch."

"Also, how should we respond to Facebook?" Zhao Yingjun was in a lot of trouble as Zack was getting more and more angry on the phone.

If this continues, the other party is likely to file a lawsuit against Universal Investments and Li Zhenyu himself on the grounds of "competition regulations".

By then, the scene will be very ugly.

When investing in Facebook, one of the terms was to "maintain Facebook's interests worldwide and assist its smooth launch in South Korea."

This is a relatively loose clause. There are no hard and fast rules on how to "assist". It depends on the rights and status of the investor himself.

This is why it is a problem for Li Zhenyu.

Whether it was Universal Investments or the development of Zy+ Entertainment, he relied on a large number of family connections.

These visible connections alone are enough to solve any policy-related problems Facebook encounters.

Li Zhenyu couldn't find any reason to stand his ground in this matter and shirk responsibility and delay the matter.

Now, Zhao Taidi can't hold on any longer.

"Next time he calls, just start!"

The longer you can delay it, the better. Even if it's just a few hours, it's fine.

The later Facebook goes online, the sooner INS will be able to catch up with it and avoid being left behind by it in the domestic market.

It would be great if both could be online at the same time.

In addition, Li Zhenyu plans to have Girls' Generation join INS, becoming the first girl group to join the platform after it goes online.

In addition to them, Li Zhenyu will also mobilize his own connections and invite big names like Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye Jin, Choi Min Sik, and Lee Jung Jae to open accounts.

The same goes for Twitter. The candidates for the first batch of celebrity influencers are all recorded in his mind.

Sun Jingzhi's CJ Entertainment and its artists also need a new display platform, and Twitter and INS can provide them with the best services.

As for the entry fee, it is naturally free.

Li Zhenyu didn't call him "Sancun" for nothing, not to mention that he also borrowed 61 million US dollars from him.

Li Zhenyu felt that he had become more merciful because he did not ask him for extra promotion fees.

"Is that it?" Zhao Yingjun spread out his hands, his expression full of disbelief and question marks.

As for investment, what should be done next? In which areas should the money be invested? He did not say a word about this.

"Building materials, health care, new energy, concept stocks and construction industry..."

After finishing his work, Li Zhenyu drove a relatively low-key Land Rover to Capitol Hill.

He made an appointment to meet Shu Minxiu. The family's recruitment had mixed effects on her, but it was definitely a big deal worthy of attention.

Shu Minxiu needs some time to think carefully about whether to lean on the whole family.

After parking the car next to the flower bed on the side of the steps, Li Zhenyu lit a cigarette and fell into thought.

What does Quan Shengwu’s invitation represent? We really need Shu Minxiu as a female representative to express our attitude to the outside world through her.

Or is this sending some kind of signal to Lao Qiu in Quanzhou?

What kind of trouble is Quan Shengwu facing? Does he need to join forces with others?

Li Zhenyu took out his mobile phone and searched for relevant information.

But the Internet was full of joy and happiness, and all the information about him was positive.

There are only two explanations for this situation: either everything is calm, just like what you see on the Internet.

Or... there is a huge trouble waiting for him.

As for which one it is, Li Zhenyu is not sure yet, "My information channels are still too narrow."

Just as he was thinking about calling Chief Amuro, Li Zhenyu saw Shu Minxiu walking down the stairs and looking towards him.

"Zhenyu, thank you for picking me up." Shu Minxiu sat in the passenger seat, and the employees standing at the bottom of the stairs were a little surprised.

Could the person in the car be the backer of Councillor Shu? Who is he? He looks very young.

But because of the reflection of sunlight, I could never see his appearance clearly.

In Congress, Shu Minxiu's origins and background have long been thoroughly investigated.

Anyone who knows the truth understands one thing: based solely on Shu Minxiu's personal background and abilities, it would be impossible for her to be taken seriously within the party.

Therefore, there must be someone behind her supporting her.

Everyone was talking about who this person was.

But it was not until today that they finally found some clues about the other party's backers.

"Did you write down the license plate?"

"Noted."

After receiving a positive answer, the assistant officer patted the intern's shoulder excitedly and said, "Well done. I won't forget you when I report to the commander."

The intern was so excited that he was incoherent. He bowed and thanked him with a happy face: "Kang Sangmida, senior, I will definitely work hard."

In the Land Rover, Shu Minxiu was worried that his identity would be discovered.

"It's okay. Even if they find out, it doesn't matter."

People who know his identity will not speak nonsense, and people who are not qualified to know his identity will not believe it.

How can a president of a small entertainment company be qualified to interfere in national affairs, let alone support a woman to rise to a high position?

What, this is true...

Stop kidding!
