Chapter 855 The Down-and-Out Rich Young Man
860. The poor young man
Young Master Ye looked at Tang Wen, who was buying milk tea not far away, and immediately "guessed" the other person's identity. Out of curiosity, he secretly took out his phone and searched for a recent news item.
When he saw JA next to Tang Wen appear on his mobile phone, Mr. Ye finally confirmed that the boy in front of him was the legendary "character".
It's just that he was very surprised by the other party's "youngness", which was really a bit scary.
Although Ye Ming (Master Ye) himself was once a rich second generation who "spends money like water", compared with the young man in front of him, his previous actions can only be regarded as a "bumpkin" at best.
The young man in front of him is famous throughout Asia and even around the world for spending money like water.
For example, buying a cruise ship as a personal toy? Modifying a billion-dollar aircraft? Then there are the rumors of spending more than 100 million to buy "fruit".
Some of them sound "dumbfounding".
In the past, Ye Ming could "spend money like water" and lose hundreds of thousands in gambling in one night, but compared with his opponent, that was really nothing.
The annual maintenance fee for a cruise ship is more than his current worth, let alone a private jet. It is said that the previous Li family was not so generous.
The only people who can burn money faster than the young man in front of them are the oil kings of the Camel Kingdom. Even in some fields, the Camel King is not as fast as the young man in front of him "burning money".
Thinking of the "industry" of the young man in front of him, even the well-informed Ye Ming sighed. His annual income may be enough to crush the so-called "rich" in Xiangjiang.
"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead." Looking at Tang Wen who was drinking milk tea, Ye Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. Even before, he had no "qualification" to interact with Tang Wen.
Not to mention that now he is just the owner of several audio stores. There are so many people in Xiangjiang who want to have a relationship with Tang Wen, and he can't even be ranked now.
"Hey." After sighing in his heart, Ye Ming naturally lost the mood to continue eating, and left after paying the bill in a hurry.
The boss thought that today's "taste" was not in line with Mr. Ye's taste.
After coming to his audio store to "calm down" his mood, he planned to go to his sister Ye Xiaoqing's house for dinner after closing the store.
During this period of time, he had been "hiding" from his brother-in-law. He couldn't help but that after his brother-in-law went bankrupt, he still wanted to make a comeback in Xiangjiang. He kept asking Ye Xiaoqing to call him, hoping that Ye Ming could introduce him to some things about his past. "personal connections".
Ye Ming could only smile bitterly at this. When you are rich in Xiangjiang, you will naturally have many "friends". But once you lose power, the so-called "friends" will quickly draw a line with you.
Before something happened to Ye Ming's family, he was a "spending money like water" and all kinds of "dog lickers" around him asked "Young Master Ye" to greet Young Master Ye. However, since the accident happened in his family, his bad friends quickly disappeared. No trace.
Later, after he made a fortune from video tapes, he was "quite neglected" because the quality was "different", and his previous friends were not willing to take him to play.
So when Ye Ming's video tape industry "stagnated", his life became more and more "bleak". Now, except for occasionally teaching equestrian skills to some new rich people who have just "made their fortune", he is basically the same as the people in that circle. Nothing to do with it.
Even his "good friend" Liu Xiong only said politely when he heard that Ye Ming wanted to borrow money to "make a comeback": "A Ming, it's not that my brother won't help you, it's just that I'm a little "nervous" now. 3 million. It’s the biggest number my brother can squeeze out right now.”
You must know that when Ye Ming's video tape business failed, he approached Liu Xiong and wanted to borrow 300 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a French winery to start over. Liu Xiong smiled on the surface and said he had no money, but secretly he directly purchased it. An Italian winery, and then make money in Xiangjiang.
By the way, it was precisely because of the acquisition of the Italian winery that Liu Xiong successfully "infiltrated" into the rich circle of Xiangjiang.
Liu Xiong was just a "sniper" before. In the eyes of Xiangjiang's consortium, they looked down on people like Liu Xiong who had no real economy.
You need to know which of the four major financial groups in Hong Kong did not have a "fixed" asset in their hands? Although Liu Xiong has developed very well in the future, he can only be regarded as a "rich man" in Xiangjiang, and there is still a certain distance from the top circles.
To put it bluntly, the annual income of the top consortium back then was equal to Liu Xiong’s total net worth. From this, we can see the “terrible” aspect of the Xiangjiang Consortium back then.
Even "good friends" like Liu Xiong stabbed Ye Ming in the back, let alone other people. So he was very troubled by his brother-in-law's request.
"Hey, Xiaoqing, why doesn't she understand?" Ye Ming said with a wry smile. His sister had been calling him these days, saying that the two children "missed" their uncle. In fact, he knew the contents better than anyone else.
But this time, he was too weak-willed and powerless. His current "connections" could "lend" you hundreds of thousands to one million, but how much more? Haha, don't think about it, people's money doesn't come from strong winds.
Besides, the money must be paid back, so his brother-in-law's "whimsical" ideas seemed very naive to him.
However, due to "face", Ye Ming had not said it firmly before, but he could not resist his sister's "requests" again and again, so this time, Ye Ming planned to make it clear.
After all, his sister had returned to TB Company to shoot the so-called "New Year's film" for this matter. As a sister-loving maniac, it was really difficult for him to refuse.
Ye Ming closed the store door and drove towards the community where his sister's family lived. Ye Ming's sister Ye Xiaoqing sold her villa in Hong Kong in order to "retire from the film industry" and followed her husband to the United States.
But she did not expect that she had to return to Hong Kong after losing "all her money" there. Now she lives in a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment that Ye Ming bought in his early years.
This was before Ye Ming had some spare money to invest, but later with the sharp drop in the property market, Ye Ming had to sell several houses that belonged to him to pay off his debts. The one he gave to his sister's family was the only property besides the small villa he lived in.
Although the current location is a bit "remote", at least there is a place to "settle down". As he was driving towards where his sister's family lived, the car accident in front of him made him frown.
But when he saw the license plate and JA standing outside, his eyes suddenly brightened.
