The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 416: Find the Second Young Master to Continue Taking Advantage of the Situation

Who would have thought that just at the end of the year, the Internet bubble burst and a large number of Internet-related technology companies went bankrupt. Although Dianyin, which was backed by Hong Kong Island and Boss Li's Changhe Industrial, did not go bankrupt, its value shrank significantly, with its market value reduced by 80%.

This made Huo Qiqiang, who had just withdrawn, terrified. He almost lost all his money!

When Li Yan heard Huo Qiqiang mention this, he felt somewhat fortunate. He was just a student before, a high school student at that, and did not know much about business affairs, let alone the business world of Hong Kong Island.

Regarding the affairs of the Second Young Master, he was just taking advantage of Boss Li's reputation. I casually read some news on the Internet, which was mainly about Boss Li once again becoming the richest man in Asia. I was full of envy when I saw the Second Young Master's legendary road to wealth in the overwhelming reports.

Generally speaking, this second young master is an average person and not a business genius. Most of the projects he undertakes are like manipulating the stock market.

They all rely on the reputation of Boss Li and huge amounts of money to push them forward. They always expand rapidly at first, and then collapse at an even faster speed.

Therefore, if you want to follow the Second Young Master to eat meat, you must be careful and withdraw in time, otherwise you will most likely lose everything and die without a complete corpse.

The original 5 billion increased sixfold to 30 billion, and that happened within just a few months.

The time was too short, the price rose too fast, and the bubble was too serious. Li Yan didn't dare to take more and decided to quit while he was ahead. He didn't expect that the second young master would collapse faster than he had imagined.

Afterwards, Li Yan was also somewhat fortunate
"Brother-in-law, now that you've been suspended, what should we do?" When talking about the police force, Huo Qiqiang was a little worried.

Li Yan had a nonchalant expression on his face and stretched himself: "I was tired a while ago, so I just took this opportunity to take a break."

"No way, brother-in-law, is there anyone in the entire police station who has less time than you?"

Huo Qiqiang asked with a strange look on his face: "What did you do to make you feel tired? You were playing in the office every day recently, and I didn't see you handling any major cases. You just signed documents and read newspapers all day long. Every time I went to see you, you were sleeping."

"You know what? That's called mental exhaustion. It's just right to take a vacation."

Huo Qiqiang asked somewhat worriedly: "Brother-in-law, are you really okay?"

"What could it be? They pushed me away. Next, Huang Sir will definitely do a big case. He just doesn't want us to share the credit. Once he finishes the case, I can come back. It won't take long."

"It's a big case, brother-in-law, what have you heard?" Huo Qiqiang became excited when talking about the case.

Li Yan glanced at Huo Qiqiang, who was looking excited, and said, "This matter is very complicated. Don't get involved. Just do your own thing."

"Oh, okay, brother-in-law, where are we going now?"

Huo Qiqiang admitted that he was not as insightful as Li Yan in this regard. Since Li Yan advised him not to get involved, it would be a blessing or a curse.

Come to think of it, it's true. Didn't you see that Li Yan had already pulled himself out? It must be a big deal.

"Go find the second son"

Well.
"Looking for Li Kaize?"

Huo Qiqiang was stunned: "Why are you looking for him? I haven't heard about any projects he is going to do recently?"

"Oh, I heard that the second young master now has some good company shares and is selling them. I want to go and see what kind of companies they are. Anyway, I have plenty of cash now, so I can invest some and keep them. Is there any problem?"

"Brother-in-law, the company shares that the Second Young Master wants to sell are all garbage that he doesn't like. Why do you want to take over?"

"You know what? My nearly 30 billion fortune was earned almost entirely from the Second Young Master, which is enough to prove that the Second Young Master is my lucky star. If I don't look for this God of Wealth, do I have to go around the world to figure out which companies are good and which are bad?"

Li Yan said as if it was a matter of course: "The companies chosen by the Second Young Master were carefully selected by Boss Li and have great potential. It's just that the Second Young Master has a poor vision and limited patience. He always sells these companies before they can take off."

"Wouldn't it be easier if I just took over?"

Damn, this works~!

When Huo Qiqiang heard Li Yan's logic, he always felt that it was a little unreliable, but every time Li Yan's choice was proved to be correct afterwards, Huo Qiqiang was not in a position to say anything.

What Huo Qiqiang didn't know was that Li Yan was also somewhat helpless about this.

In reality, no matter how hard I try, I am just an ordinary student with limited knowledge. I don’t know much about business, and I know nothing about the stock market.

I just read some biographies about Mr. Li, the richest Chinese man, out of interest, and vaguely remember some major business events related to the Li family, but I don't know anything else.

The only thing he could do was to target the Li family, but he wasn't familiar with Boss Li, so who else could he turn to if not the Second Young Master?
After calling Li Kaize and agreeing on a time, the two went to Li Kaize's office in Central. After Li Kaize's electronic banking project, he accumulated a huge fortune and bought a piece of land near the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center in the core of Victoria Harbor to build his group headquarters. He plans to invest 100 billion Hong Kong dollars to build a landmark high-end regional commercial center and super-grade A office building - the World Trade Center, which integrates financial center, business center, technology center, large shopping center and high-end tourist hotel.

The main building of the center is 484 meters high and has a designed 108 floors. After completion, it will become the tallest building in Hong Kong Island. What a grand project!
The project is built by the real estate group under Boss Li, so it can be said that all the benefits are kept within the family.

Li Yan knew that this piece of land was actually bought by Boss Li before.

After the 1990s, there were almost no extra plots of land for sale in the core areas of Hong Kong Island. All good locations were controlled by the Hong Kong government or some wealthy families in Hong Kong Island. They were only circulated internally and not sold to the outside world.

If the Second Young Master hadn't used it for his own development, Boss Li would never have made a move.

Due to the bursting of the Internet bubble, the market value of the second son's Telecom Silver Technology plummeted, resulting in a significant reduction in working capital. After half of the project was built, it has recently fallen into a state of stagnation due to lack of follow-up investment. It is estimated that this is also the reason why the second son is selling shares everywhere to obtain funds.

Actually, this can’t be blamed on Li Kaize.
Li Kai knew better than anyone else that his Telecom Silver Technology was an empty shell, so he started selling shares as soon as it went public.

I just didn’t expect the market to be so good. The growth was so great and so fast!

The wildly soaring market value represented a huge amount of wealth, which deeply stimulated Li Kaize. He hesitated for a moment, but did not expect that Telecom Silver Technology would fall from its peak faster than he had imagined. By the time Li Kaize wanted to make a big move, it was too late.

Damn it, it's over in less than a year.
Hundreds of billions of wealth evaporated. Fortunately, these hundreds of billions of wealth came overnight, so he was not too sad, otherwise the second young master would probably have jumped off the building.

Li Kai owned more than 60% of the shares, unlike Li Yan who only owned 5 points, so it was easy for him to sell them. Until Telecom Bank Technology hit its bottom, Li Kai still held 30% of the shares, making him the largest shareholder of Telecom Bank.

Due to lack of funds, the new headquarters building was not built, and Li Kai still worked in the previous location.

Hearing that Li Yan was coming to visit, the second young master was overjoyed.

But he knew that Li Yan now had nearly 30 billion yuan in his account, which was more than the liquid cash of many wealthy families with wealth of over 100 billion yuan.

For this reason, Li Kai teased Li Yan many times, saying that it would be a waste and stupid not to invest so much money and keep it in the bank.

But now Li Kai feels that his original thinking was a bit narrow-minded. How could Li Yan, a man pursuing a career in politics, have the energy to do business?

Keep it as cash, and when wealthy people in Hong Kong encounter difficulties when doing a project, they can invest a little.

Not only did he find a good project, but he was also able to do the other party a big favor. He was really smart!
Businessmen in Hong Kong have a bad habit, which is that they are too bold to dare to do a business worth ten dollars with one dollar. But when the business is halfway done, they run out of money and have to ask for help from others everywhere.

Isn't that what I am like?

Li Kai is now staring at the nearly 30 billion cash that Li Yan has placed in the bank. He is drooling with envy. If Li Yan is willing to help, it will be more convenient and cost-effective than going to the bank for a loan.

Li Kai put away the pile of documents on the table and told his secretary, "Amy, help me cancel all the appointments this morning, and then go to Xifeng Tower to order a good banquet. I have a distinguished guest for lunch."

"Yes, Boss." The mixed-race secretary with a good figure responded and returned to her seat to start making phone calls and arranging various matters.

Li Kai thought about it, went out himself, took the elevator to the front desk in the lobby on the first floor, and waited for Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang at the door.

About ten minutes later, Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang parked the car and came to the building while chatting. They saw Li Kaize standing in front of the door waiting with a smile on his face.

Li Yan took two quick steps, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Kaize, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I don't deserve this. It's a big trouble for you, such a big boss, to come and greet him in person."

"Yeah, why are you so polite, second brother? We are not strangers." Huo Qiqiang also said with a smile.

"What boss or no boss? Today we are a gathering of brothers, so we don't need to talk about those etiquettes."

Li Kai said enthusiastically: "No, I just got back to the company and received your call. I don't have to run around anymore. I can just wait here. I can't wait to see you too. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang looked at each other, with an inexplicable look in their eyes.

It seems that the second young master is indeed in trouble. Although his attitude is usually good, this is the first time he has been so attentive.
Li Kai took the two of them, exchanged pleasantries, got into the elevator, and went to his office.

Arriving at the 38th floor, a familiar scene came into view. Li Yan smacked his lips again: "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"

"Brother, your place is so magnificent and grand! I don't envy anything else, but I envy your office, which is like a mountain top, overlooking all the mountains."

Huo Qiqiang also agreed with a smile: "Yes, from here you can overlook the entire Hong Kong Island and have a panoramic view of the night view of Victoria Harbor. You can enjoy the treatment of an emperor."
