I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

In the evening, with the help of Peng Lang, several people set up a party in a restaurant.

The founder of Lianfa Technology - Cai Jie.

He was wearing a black suit and big glasses. Apart from his height, his outfit was somewhat similar to Chen Yifeng when viewed from a distance.

However, Chen Yifeng is tall and strong. Cai Jie does not have the broad shoulders of the Chen family, and instead looks a little thin.

To be honest, Asians are generally not big and strong, and most of them don't look good in suits.

"Hello, Mr. Cai."

"Hello."

The two shook hands and sat down.

Cai Jie sized up the strange young man in front of him, then looked at Peng Lang with some suspicion.

When he heard that there was business to discuss, he thought it was an entrepreneur about his age, but he didn't expect it to be a young man, which made him very puzzled.

It's not just Cai Jie. Many businessmen will feel a sense of contempt when facing partners who are much younger than themselves.

Soon, the dishes were served and everyone ate and chatted.

When Cai Jie heard that Chen Xi wanted to invest in Lianfa Ke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Young man, do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how much our company's net profit is in a year? I tell you it's about 6 billion Chinese yuan."

Facing the man's ridicule, Chen Xi did not get angry, but smiled and replied: "I know this, but as far as I know, your company's revenue the year before last seemed to be 7 billion."

These words were like a slap in the face, causing Cai Jie's face to turn slightly red.

Seeing that the two of them were fine just now, but now they started to argue with each other, Peng Lang immediately raised his glass and said, "This is my friend from the mainland..."

Cai Jie took a sip of wine and said, "Let's not talk about whether you have money to invest, but why should our company accept your investment? We have to explain this."

"With the popularization of smartphones, old copycat phones will be completely eliminated. Lianfax's current business is to make chips for low-end products in smartphones, that is, copycat phones in smartphones. But your company seems dissatisfied with this approach, so it wants to develop high-end products, but it ended up hitting a wall and suffered huge losses. I predict that smartphones will become cheaper and cheaper in the future, and mobile phone manufacturers will reduce costs by optimizing the supply chain. Lianfax's advantages will become smaller and smaller, and its revenue will be greatly reduced..." Chen Xi explained patiently.

"Haha, then according to what you said, I don't understand even more. Since our Lianfa Technology's advantages will become smaller and smaller, why do you still want to spend a lot of money to invest in us?" Cai Jie was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

He didn't expect that the young man in front of him had already investigated Lianfa Ke thoroughly.

"Investing in you is naturally for the deployment of my future projects, that is, new products."

"What product?"

"I can't reveal it at the moment. According to your logic, Mr. Cai, since I have invested money, I must have a clear plan." Chen Xi blinked mysteriously.

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now, let's talk about how you invest. The enterprises in our Wan District are not something that mainlanders can easily interfere with. Moreover, investing in Lianfa Ke is not something that can be solved with a small amount of money. This is a question of hundreds of millions. I think you may not be able to come up with this amount at such a young age..." Cai Jie shook his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

But think about it, how could a young boy come up with hundreds of millions? This kind of thing is basically impossible in reality.

"I'm an Australian businessman. I have the support of several capital companies, so I don't have to worry about the money. As for my investment identity, I also have cooperation with JMM Company in Wan District..." Chen Xi said as he dipped his finger in wine and wrote the word "horse" on the table.

Cai Jie was a little confused when looking at the words on the table, but he understood when he saw a card in Chen Xi's hand.

After finishing the trip to Suzhou, Chen Xi went to several places in succession, which made his little follower Yin Anwei a little confused.

"Brother Xi, what are you doing? I see you spending money all the time, but I don't see you making any money."

"Why rush? This is called business layout."

"But none of the things you're dealing with seem to connect together. There are chips, minerals, university agricultural professors, and even a beverage factory. What the hell is this?"

"We've only just started, not even halfway." Chen Xi rolled his eyes. This guy had asked this question many times along the way.

"So where are we going this time?"

"When I get to Huajing, I will naturally meet the person who has always supported me. You go to find Jiang Yun first to check on the company's recent situation. I will come to you after I finish my work." Chen Xi gave some instructions, took a taxi and went straight to Huakai Capital.

Huakai Capital Corporation.

Feng Jialun was sitting in the office reading documents when there was a knock on the door and the secretary led Chen Xi in.

"Hey, why did you suddenly come back to China? Have you settled the business in Australia?" Feng Jialun stood up with a smile and pointed at the sofa.

Chen Xi didn't hesitate and walked over and sat down.

"Brother Feng, didn't you say that I would come to see you when I came back? I have a project now and I need your support." Chen Xi looked at the other party excitedly.

"Oh? A big project? Tell me about it." Feng Jialun also became interested after hearing that.

Soon, Chen Xi told about the projects in his previous life.

Although I don’t know how much money Huakai Capital has, our chances of winning will be much better if they join us.

Chen Xi's words kept entering Feng Jialun's ears. His expression changed from suspicion at the beginning, to shock, and then to sadness.

After the young man finished speaking, Feng Jialun took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The project is good, but your project is a bit special. We at Huakai Capital cannot invest in it, but there is no problem with Fake Technology."

"Brother Feng, is the project too big? It's okay, you can just pay less." Chen Xi changed the topic.

"No."

"Didn't you tell me to come back to you after I return to China and you will continue to invest in me?"

"I said before that I would invest in you, but I also explained that Huakai Capital has always been working on overseas projects. As soon as you returned to China, you came up with such a big thing for me, and it's not an ordinary project. How can I start?" Feng Jialun didn't know what to say.

The project is good, but it's too special.

The interests involved here will involve many people, and if you don’t handle it well, you will offend many people.

"Brother Feng, do you think this project is unlikely to be completed, so you are hesitant? How about I build the framework first, and then you can invest?"

"Oh, that's not the question. I've said before that Huakai Capital's main business is overseas." Feng Jialun sighed and shook his head. This operation made Chen Xi confused.

Damn it, you asked me to come back and said you would invest in me, but now you don’t want to invest anymore, are you kidding me!

The two chatted in the office for a long time until Chen Xi left. Feng Jialun walked silently to the French window. He looked at the gray scenery outside and sighed: "Ideals are full, but reality is skinny. I am still too young!"

This statement did not express his opinion on the feasibility of Chen Xi's project, but had a deeper meaning.

Chen Xi, who had just walked out of Huakai Capital, was smoking in a corner of the street.

He was not very angry about Feng Jialun's refusal to invest, but kept thinking about it.

With Feng Jialun's shrewdness, he would not easily miss such a good piece of fat meat. The reason why he didn't touch it must be because he was afraid of losing control.

The project involves too many industries, and each industry has its best and most connected people. If this one is not handled properly, it will offend many parties, which is too risky.

Chen Xi, full of distress, wandered aimlessly on the streets. It was winter and Huajing had quietly welcomed the arrival of the first snow.

Although the snowflakes are light and small, they are like delicate brushstrokes, slowly outlining the prelude to winter in the cold wind.

Not knowing how long he had been walking, Chen Xi gradually stopped and looked at a building in front of him. He quietly pushed the door and walked in - the Young Returnees Association.

There seem to be more people at the association's headquarters than before, and it looks like a large enterprise no matter how you look at it.

There is a house number on each office door, showing the different departments.

The association members are like workers, constantly busy with their tasks.

Chen Xi greeted everyone one by one, without asking them what they were busy with, and walked straight towards Lin Xi's office.

"Hey, isn't this the vice president? You're back for the New Year... No, you've already graduated, right?" As soon as Chen Xi entered the room, he saw Lin Xi pretending to lower her head to process documents. Seeing him coming, Lin Xi slowly put down the pen in her hand and said something.

What era is this? I'm still using a pen to process documents. I can't even install it. It's like I don't know how to use a computer.

Chen Xi couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I have graduated. Aren't you rushing back to help the president?"

"The association is developing well now. You may have discovered it when you just came in. The entire association is like a huge ant nest. Everyone has his or her own job." Lin Xi had a proud look on her face, as if she was the master of all things.

"I just saw that they all looked very busy. What on earth are they busy with? This doesn't look like an overseas returnee association at all. This is totally a company. You are not going to set up a 9-to-5 work system, are you?"

"That's right, I want to turn the association into a company model. What's wrong with that? As for what they are busy with, of course they are busy with the operation of the association. Some are responsible for solving the life problems of overseas members, some are helping them do business, and some are responsible for managing the returnees who have graduated in China. We not only have to manage the returnees, but also the students who have just gone abroad. Some large companies also need someone to communicate and handle the projects they cooperate with us. All of this requires people to do it. I think it is most effective to manage the association in a company model."

"Then if someone makes a mistake at work or is lazy, will you still fire them? An association should look like an association, otherwise it should be renamed Youth Returnees Co., Ltd., right? Does Zheng Wei agree with you to do this?"

"He has gone to various places to develop local associations. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while. Do you still treat him as a sword of justice and want to kill me? If I don't do this, there will be a bunch of guys who just sit and wait for death and waste time in the association. Let me tell you, the people who stay in the association to work are all rich second-generations, and those with poor families have gone to work in other companies. If I don't bring them together and do something to do, these guys will definitely be bored and finally quit the association..." Lin Xi felt unhappy. He was accused just after they met. Now he completely vented his previous resentment towards Chen Xi and Zheng Wei.

I have to say, there is some truth to what Lin Xi said.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Xi would definitely not say anything. However, he was reborn, and he knew that the association was labeled bad in the previous life and was forcibly disbanded.

If the Returned Overseas Chinese Association continues to develop along the same path as in its previous life, the final result will be the same.

The two had a heated argument over this issue in the office.

There were two girls eavesdropping outside the office.

"Jia Jia, what's wrong with the vice president? Why did he start arguing as soon as he entered?"

"How would I know? Now there are endless things to do every day. I'm so tired. I still miss the old days. It's just like going to work. If I wanted to work, I wouldn't go to work at home. I'm speechless." Qian Jiajia complained dissatisfiedly, tapping her sore waist with the drum.

The tall girl next to him lowered her voice and said, "I saw that the president set up several separate offices, and separated them far away from us. The people in them are so busy that they can only eat takeout every day. I don't know what they are doing. Do you think they are playing games in there?"

"Who knows? The association is divided into several factions now. We are not his confidants, so it won't be our turn if there are any good things..." Qian Jiajia curled her lips in disdain.

Gradually, the noise of the quarrel in the office seemed to become much quieter. The two girls realized that they couldn't hear anything and were worried about being discovered, so they quickly chose to slip away.

Inside the office.

Chen Xi sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette: "Let's talk about the Turtle Coin first. Why can non-members of the association trade the Turtle Coin?"

Lin Xi, who was also holding a cigarette, had her eyes twitched, but she managed to calm down and answered, "What's going on? It's just that some means are used to increase the liquidity of Turtle Coin. If you want to increase the value of Turtle Coin, liquidity is inevitable. You have also studied finance. Why do you still need to ask such a simple truth?"

"Don't give me that crap. The way Turtle Coin is issued is different from other virtual currencies. Turtle Coin is a weird thing. It's similar to Q Coin and has very little circulation. Besides, you said increasing circulation, but do you know where Turtle Coin is circulating? Do you know what consequences will happen in the future?"

"Where has it been circulated?" Linxi asked knowingly.

“I found that there are some illegal industries that have the shadow of Turtle Coin.”

"Don't try to trick me here. Just tell me what industry it is and who is using it."

Seeing that the other party was still stubborn, Chen Xi said, "Okay, for the development of the association, I will speak out if I have any questions. The paper writing industry has existed for a long time. As for whether it is legal or not, you are also an international student, so you should know it very well. Originally, they used cash or bank transfers, but now they use virtual currency, including Turtle Coin. Moreover, these ghostwriting middlemen are not members of the association, so how can they use Turtle Coin? If you, the issuer of Turtle Coin, are not clear about it, it would be too fake."

"You are now suspecting that I am interfering. Do you have any evidence?"

"Don't worry about whether I have evidence or not. If it weren't for the association, I would have reported it long ago."

Chen Xi's threatening words made Lin Xi shut up immediately.

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, he continued: "I think that many of these writers are members of our association, otherwise why would they hold Turtle Coins? Even if they are not, they are still related to the association. This kind of illegal business will drag the association into the abyss. It is not appropriate to rely on this kind of business to maintain development in the long run."

"But... maybe someone in the association did it. Give me some time and I'll find out. You know, there are so many people in the association, I can't know everything. There are people in the company who take kickbacks or embezzle public funds, right?"

"Okay, if you can't handle this matter well, then I can only let the Australian police handle it."

Although he knew that the other party was pretending, Chen Xi still gave Lin Xi a way out.

In some cases, you can't push people too hard. (End of this chapter)
