Chapter 1283 Who is so bold?
To get to the top, all you need is ambition, and using any means necessary is the best means. However, ruling and getting to the top are two different things. Otherwise, why do people say that it is easy to conquer an empire but difficult to keep it?
Many people make a fortune, but few can keep it to the end.
When they have money, they start buying luxury cars and luxury houses to make up for all the things they have not enjoyed. They spend their days in debauchery and enjoy the admiration of people around them.
If it were just like this, wealth would still exist, but we would be afraid that after the expansion, various investments would be made, and eventually everything would be lost.
Those who are trying to get rich quickly make money even faster. After playing cards for a year or two, hundreds of millions of dollars are gone.
Lei Zhen is now faced with the problem of how to protect his wealth, so he has to consider everything from the overall perspective and the long-term, and can no longer be as reckless as when he came to power.
After all, when you become successful, you have to wear a suit and tie, go to all kinds of luxurious places, and deal with all kinds of top people, even if the suit and tie are not as comfortable as flowery shorts, a big vest, and a pair of slippers with almost worn soles.
Let everyone make money, let all families feel the changes in the world, whet their appetites, and let them become completely addicted to making money.
After all, in this day and age, you can make money as long as you engage in foreign trade. As long as you can bring in things from outside and resell them, you can make a fortune. The only difference is how fast and how much you make money.
Making money is addictive, really addictive!
In just half a month, the trade department was fully operational, which opened the eyes of each family.
Bulk commodities, daily necessities, small appliances, building materials for decoration, etc., no matter how big or small the business is, there is no need to unload the goods by yourself after the cargo ship arrives at the dock, and buyers are begging to buy with money in hand.
In the 1997 and 1998 eras, there were no various e-commerce platforms, or some were only in their infancy because there was no supporting logistics system.
Many things can be moved from the south to the north, and a lot of money can be made by reselling them.
Moreover, people in this era are particularly keen on brands. Brands like Montagut, Baleno, Adidas and Nike are all in high demand. There are even people who specialize in selling fake Adidas and Nike, wholesale by kilogram from the south and send them to the north by train.
After selling for three to five years, he quickly accumulated tens of millions of assets.
This is not a daydream, but a true portrayal of that era. There is gold everywhere, the bold ones will die of overeating and the timid ones will die of starvation. As long as you dare to do it, you can make money.
This is domestic trade, international trade is even more terrifying.
After experiencing a wave of layoffs, the domestic economy began to develop rapidly. There was a shortage of everything, and people were particularly keen on imported products.
From car color TVs, refrigerators, and televisions to toilets, cabinets, and power strips, imported products always smell good.
Therefore, even if the families have just started to engage in cross-border trade, they have already felt what it means to make money.
No, it should be called robbing money!
"How pedantic! I'm so pedantic! I should have followed the master a long time ago. I made 30 million just by selling this container of goods!"
"I was delayed by Old Man Jiang. Who knew I could make so much money following you?"
"It all comes down to the master. He paves the way, and all we have to do is count the money..."
In this world, making people praise you means helping them make money; making people surround you like stars is also helping them make money.
Everything else is empty; only making money is real.
Therefore, Lei Zhen's majesty and status were at their peak, and all families recognized his position and the family-based ruling model.
If this person can make money and eat good food for everyone, he is a god!
Lei Zhen just smiled faintly at his family's reaction. He had known that this situation would occur: everyone was very simple and only cared about money.
"Sir, you paved all the roads for them to make money. Are you trying to buy people's hearts with money? These families are ungrateful and can never be satisfied. No matter how much you give them, it won't work."
Xiang Zhenhai, who came from the southeast, expressed his inner thoughts and felt that his future son-in-law was not doing the right thing.
He is a businessman and knows too well the greed of human nature. It is not the case that he will be loyal to you just because you make money, but he will repay you with gratitude and resentment.
He didn't want to say it at first, but after considering many factors, he brought it up anyway. Moreover, he was the only one who could bring it up because he had joined the team early and was qualified.
"Let them get addicted first. I have plans for the future." Lei Zhen said with a smile, "Dad, you've almost finished the arrangements, right? In a month at the earliest, or three months at the slowest, I'll be marrying Yu Wei."
"No rush, just focus on the things at hand first, haha." Xiang Zhenhai smiled.
He came this time to discuss the marriage. Preparations on the Southeast side are almost complete, so it depends on when the gentleman has time.
He was originally very anxious, fearing that something might happen if he was late, but Lei Zhen's call of "Dad" made him feel less anxious.
"What date is set?" Lei Zhen asked.
The tone was quite casual, as if he would find time to get married any day.
And this is indeed the case. Marriage is a big deal in the eyes of others, but it is just a small matter to him. He can just go through the motions when the time comes.
"I just came to discuss with you whether we should ask Master Yuan to assign one."
"He decided?"
"Yes, after all, Master Yuan is proficient in divination and feng shui."
"Forget about him, I'll decide."
"ah?"
"Yuan Sancai is my nephew."
"ah?!"
That's right, Yuan Sancai's date setting is not as effective as Lei Zhen's.
Not everyone is a great master, and not everyone is a genius, but he just happens to be one.
"I'll tell you more about what's going on inside later. Anyway, the date I set is definitely the best, haha."
"Okay, you make the decision. I'll bring the old man over in advance, and we'll get the marriage done first. Then we'll announce it to the outside world. It's just a formality, because getting married is quite tiring."
"Dad really loves me! By the way, how's the business expansion going in the desert continent? I've already contacted the presidents of several countries..."
All of the family’s business dealings rely on Lei Zhen’s connections, whether it’s the plateau continent, the desert continent, or even the various royal families.
Coupled with the large international financial capital at hand, all business development is just a matter of a word.
In other words, everyone will open their doors to do cross-border business with the company designated by Lei Zhen. The green light will be on, and the whole journey will be smooth, and the goods can be directly shipped to the country.
Once you arrive in China, you basically don't have to worry about anything. Just follow the normal procedures, pay taxes when necessary, and use connections when necessary.
In other words, under Lei Zhen's protection, these families only need to choose what business to do and they don't have to participate in the entire process. They can just count the money when the time comes.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
"Little Chrysanthemum, do you miss me?"
Lei Zhen picked up the phone and started teasing his future father-in-law without any hesitation in front of him.
"Honey, there's a problem."
"If there's a problem, solve it. I thought you were in the capital, but I was so happy for nothing."
"All goods have been seized, all the companies of major families have been closed down, and the responsible persons have been taken away for investigation. Our domestic operations have been completely paralyzed."
"Um?"
Lei Zhen frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly: Who did it? Who is so bold?
