Li Zhixi walked out of the hotel where he was under quarantine and investigation, looking completely lost.
I originally thought that coming to Guanzhong would allow me to make a brilliant mark and pave the way for my succession as president.
I never imagined things would turn out this way.
Looking at the multi-billion dollar fine in his hand, Li Zhixi couldn't help but want to cry.
They just lost 20 billion in the stock market, and now they're going to be fined another 10 billion, making it a total loss of 30 billion.
This is absolutely amazing!
Although he is the vice president of the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce, he does not have that much cash in his personal assets.
Left with no other option, he had to call his father.
He was unaware that his father had been so angered that he was hospitalized.
Upon receiving his call, Li Fengxiang launched into another tirade of abuse.
"You bastard! You still have the nerve to call me? If your brother hadn't lost his basket, I would have crippled you too!"
"Dad, please don't be angry. I know I was wrong! It was just a small mistake. Please give me another chance..."
"Give you a chance?" Li Fengxiang laughed angrily. "Who the hell gave me a chance? Do you know that because of what you did, all the stocks under our name plummeted, evaporating tens of billions in just one afternoon, and our assets shrank by a third! It's all because of you! Cough cough cough!"
"Dad, Dad, please don't be angry. I know I was wrong! I will be more careful in the future! Please believe me!" Li Zhixi said in a panic.
Li Fengxiang sighed. He could tell that his son truly knew he was wrong. He said coldly, "Don't blame your father! I'm just disappointed in you! We're a chamber of commerce, not like those aristocratic families. The relationships within the council are complicated. Although I'm the president, I don't have all the power. The mess you've made put me in a very passive position! It's impossible for you to take over the family business in the future! Why don't you go abroad? The economic climate hasn't been good these past two years. I've already transferred some of my assets to the West Coast. You should go there first and bring your younger brother with you. Let's find a way out for the Li family!"
Li Zhixi's face was grim as he said, "Dad, I might not be able to leave now. The Securities and Futures Commission just issued me a fine of 10 billion..."
"What? A fine of 10 billion?" Li Fengxiang felt his head buzz.
This is truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly!
Li Zhixi pleaded, "Dad, please help me! Get another 10 billion from the Chamber of Commerce so I can pay off the fine... Otherwise, they're going to arrest me!"
"Impossible!" Li Fengxiang immediately refused, coldly saying, "The losses you caused directly and indirectly this time amount to as much as 70 to 80 billion. The entire Chamber of Commerce's cash flow is on the verge of collapse. Do you think the council will give you that money? Besides, you caused this mess yourself. Why should the Chamber of Commerce clean up your mess?"
Li Zhixi hurriedly said, "Dad! Please help me, I really have no other choice! I'm begging you!"
"It's no use begging me. Even if I agree, the council will never agree!" Li Fengxiang said firmly.
Li Zhixi pursed his lips and said, "Didn't you just say that you have assets overseas..."
"Don't even think about it!" Li Fengxiang said coldly. "Let me tell you, Li Zhixi, you can't touch a single penny of my assets before I die! They're the lifeblood of the Li family! You need to understand that although I only have two sons on the surface, you also have a younger brother who is very promising. If you two brothers aren't up to par, I can always help him step into the limelight! I would never use my life savings for either of you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhixi clenched his fists tightly.
Actually, he already knew about this.
This father was a tiger dad; he raised them like venomous snakes from a young age.
As the eldest son, he had already received much preferential treatment compared to his other brothers.
Li Fengxiang snorted and said, "I taught you from a young age that if you want others to respect you, you have to prove your worth! This matter can only be resolved by yourself. You have to earn the 10 billion yourself. If you can't, you'll go to jail! If you do, I'll honor you!"
"If you can make a comeback and revitalize Hongluan Venture Capital, I can help you regain the council's approval, and you will still be the successor to the chairmanship!"
Li Zhixi's pupils suddenly trembled.
Then his gaze gradually hardened.
He clenched his fist tightly and said, "Dad, I understand! Don't worry! I will definitely not let you down, I will definitely stand up again!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhixi returned to the office building rented by the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce.
The first thing to do is to call in the finance department.
"How much money do we have left in our account?"
The accountant quickly replied, "Young Master Xi, we received some money back from the stock sale, still tens of millions!"
"Tens of millions?"
Li Zhixi narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "We could certainly stir up some trouble!"
In today's society, what kind of business makes money the fastest?
It's all basically written in the criminal law!
Li Zhixi was naturally well aware of this.
Now, there is only one way to make a comeback in a short period of time—raise funds!
There are many ways to raise funds.
However, there is only one way to make money quickly and legally on the surface.
Start a P2P lending company!
Especially those with high short-term returns. That's what attracts customers the most.
Three months, a 10% return—just ask yourself, who wouldn't be confused?
After all, bank interest rates are only three or four percent at most. This is two or three times higher than the bank's interest rate, so those investors who like to invest will definitely flock to it!
However, the only problem is the issue of credibility.
A new company without qualifications, and unfamiliar to customers, who would dare to put their money on your platform?
