Chapter 105 Returning to China: Meeting Pei Hong
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Tongwei and others have been in Chou Country for more than three months.
During these three months, Qi Tongwei traveled to almost all major cities in the United States, one to promote his works, and the other to get to know the local Chinese, especially businessmen and scientists.
For businessmen, his main purpose is to trick them into returning to China to start a business. For scientists, Qi Tongwei keeps using Qian Lao as an example.
Tell them that although Mr. Qian gained little financially, he gained much more spiritually than if he had stayed in the ugly country.
Like other historical celebrities such as Shen Kuo and Zhang Heng, Mr. Qian will be forever remembered in history books and by the Chinese nation!
Although I'm not sure how much I can gain, I've got nothing to do anyway, so I might as well fool as many people as I can.
Due to work, they cannot return home this Spring Festival and can only spend it in a foreign country.
To celebrate this traditional festival, the embassy organized a grand event to immerse everyone in the festive atmosphere and also to attract Chinese businessmen.
After the New Year, Qi Tongwei's promotional activities also came to an end and he is about to embark on the journey back home.
However, the royalties he had on hand at that time did not yet meet the requirement of 100 million US dollars after tax, so he had to stay for a while to raise enough foreign exchange.
To this end, Qi Tongwei even sold the film and television copyright of Da Vinci's films, and combined with recent royalty income, he finally raised 1995 million US dollars after tax by the end of February 2.
After handing over the huge sum of money to the military, Qi Tongwei prepared to return.
"Tongwei, do you mean that we can take action now?" Pei Qianqian snuggled in Qi Tongwei's arms and asked with a blushing face.
Qi Tongwei shook his head slightly and replied: "I think it's enough. We have earned enough. We should know when to stop. Don't be lucky and try to earn the last coin."
"Okay, then I will notify the trader to start the action tomorrow." Pei Qianqian nodded and agreed.
The two then discussed the follow-up plans. In principle, most of the gains from Mexico this time will remain in the United States and be invested in the Internet.
The next few years were an era of rapid expansion of the Internet. It was not until 2000 that the Internet bubble occurred. If you sold it before that, you could make huge profits.
The next day, Pei Qianqian notified the trader according to the plan.
Despite the trader's repeated persuasion, Pei Qianqian still did not listen. She only believed Qi Tongwei's words. After all, the customer is God, and in the end the trader still started to operate according to Pei Qianqian's requirements.
Three days later, all operations were completed. After paying the trader's fees and the bank's principal and interest, they made a total profit of 14.6 billion US dollars.
"Tongwei, this money is too easy to make, no wonder Wall Street in the United States is so prosperous?" Pei Qianqian said in surprise.
Qi Tongwei shook his head and said, "You only see the money-making, and there are many people who lose money. In the future, unless we encounter special opportunities, we will not start in the stock market and foreign exchange.
Also, even if you don’t care about the money that finance makes, the biggest impact on a country’s development is still industry, especially high-tech industries.”
Qi Tongwei was worried that Pei Qianqian would focus on the financial market because of this experience, which would deviate from his original intention, so he tried his best to dissuade him.
Although Pei Qianqian was surprised by the gains this time, she also knew that this action was promoted by Qi Tongwei. She herself did not have much sense of gain and did not intend to work in the financial industry.
"Tongwei, how should the 14.6 billion US dollars be allocated and how should it be invested specifically?" Pei Qianqian asked.
"I have already chosen it." Qi Tongwei handed Pei Qianqian a piece of paper with a string of company names written on it, all of which were famous Internet companies in later generations.
Pei Qianqian took it and started reading it. Qi Tongwei explained, "I plan to keep 10 billion US dollars to invest in the Internet industry, and bring the remaining 4.6 million US dollars back to China to support domestic construction."
Although Pei Qianqian had gained a lot in the past few months, her knowledge was limited after all, and she did not object to Qi Tongwei's choice.
The next day, he found another fund company and used the 10 billion yuan on hand to buy stocks of various Internet companies in the United States. In order to hide his identity, he owned less than 5% of each company's shares.
After the trip to the ugly country ended, Pei Qianqian and Qi Tongwei boarded the plane back home.
This trip to the ugly country was extremely smooth. Not only did it achieve all the expected goals, but it also earned an additional profit of more than one billion US dollars.
This means that they have enough funds on hand to advance their business and can be said to be on a fast track.
Next, they will fly directly to Hanjiang to meet Pei Yihong. Of course, Qi Tongwei still pretends to be unaware and waits for Pei Qianqian to confess everything to him.
When they arrived at Han River Airport, Pei Qianqian's eyes revealed a hint of hesitation, as if she had something to say but couldn't bring herself to say it.
Qi Tongwei noticed her strangeness and knew the reason, so he deliberately asked jokingly: "Qianqian, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to take me back to your home?"
Pei Qianqian hurriedly shook her head to deny it, and explained: "No! It's just that I don't know how to tell you that my family's situation is a bit special..."
Qi Tongwei deliberately comforted her and said, "It doesn't matter. No matter what, I won't look down on your poor family. We have money now, so we don't have to worry too much about these things."
Pei Qianqian sighed helplessly and decided to tell the truth: "Oh, it's really not because of this reason. Well, I'll tell you straight, my father's name is Pei Yihong, and he is the Secretary of the Hanjiang Province."
Hearing this, Qi Tongwei pretended to be surprised and asked excitedly: "What? Your father is the provincial party secretary? Are you kidding?"
Seeing Qi Tongwei's surprised expression, Pei Qianqian felt quite proud. She finally surprised him.
But fearing that Qi Tongwei would worry, she quickly explained: "I'm not kidding, my dad is the provincial party secretary, but he's very easy to talk to, you don't have to worry."
As she spoke, she was afraid that Qi Tongwei would run away, so she still held his arm tightly.
Seeing Pei Qianqian's worried expression, Qi Tongwei stopped joking and said, "Silly boy, I'm not running away, why are you holding me so tightly? I haven't even married yet, how can I run away?"
"Really?" Pei Qianqian still didn't relax.
Qi Tongwei patted Pei Qianqian's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't run away. Besides, I'm also very good, and I will definitely make your uncle agree to let you marry me."
Pei Qianqian felt a little more relaxed after hearing what Qi Tongwei said.
After leaving the airport, the two took a taxi to the provincial party committee compound.
Qi Tongwei looked out the window at the Han River. He looked very calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already turbulent. He knew that this meeting would be an important turning point in his life.
As long as he establishes a relationship with Pei Qianqian, with his father-in-law's status and position, even if he says nothing, his future career will be much smoother than most people.
At the same time, the Pei family is also different from the past.
Pei Yihong deliberately left work early, and Pei Qianqian's elder brother Pei Shaowei also returned to Han River from the capital.
Their purpose is simple, which is to meet Qi Tongwei!
