Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 654 - 283: Killing Eight Birds with One Stone_3
Jin Yu, although a financial expert, did not himself participate in the secondary market—finance studies are not the same as stock trading.
So, the situation was now quite chaotic.
On one hand, he deeply felt that Han Lie was a genius unlike any other young man, making him almost involuntarily want to trust him.
On the other hand, he thought that using his own funds to buy subordinated debt was far too risky.
After a moment of indecision, Old Jin slowly posed his question, his skepticism artfully veiled.
"I can understand your confidence, and I ask you to understand my difficulties. Teacher Han, I won't ask why you're so certain of success. I just need a more profound reason to bolster my own confidence…"
A bit convoluted, but actually not difficult to understand.
Thus, Han Lie leisurely responded, "Xing from SAIC, who will soon purchase at least one billion in subordinated debt, is a good friend of mine. I am where I am today because I never let my friends down.
Many people will, for this reason, stand firm alongside me.
President Jin, you don't need to believe the boasts of a junior like myself, but if you're willing to trust the judgment of President Xing, Huang Xing from SPD Bank, and others, then you can personally buy a portion of the subordinated tranche.
Your relatives, friends, and particularly valued clients—you can persuade them as well.
In the next two years, many people will earn money from the market, but they cannot earn more than me, nor as steadily as me.
Is that assertive enough for you?!"
It's enough! Damn, it's more than enough!
Jin Yu had worked his way up to his current position with solid performance and capability. He had seen many madmen, but he had never encountered a "youngster" more mad than Han Lie.
Given his age, wasn't he just a kid?
But it was this very youngster who dared to use such a decisive method to instill such confidence in Old Jin.
How to understand this?
Han Lie's meaning was clear: "Not only can you buy my fund yourself, but you can also rally your relatives and friends to join. I'm staking *your* future on the bet that I will definitely win!"
If it truly failed, Old Jin would undoubtedly be disgraced and suffer a severe blow.
And Han Lie, due to his instigation today, would also make a formidable enemy of Old Jin.
If you're running a normal project, you don't speak with such finality. That way, even if it loses money later, as long as no one loses their own personal funds, everyone can just laugh it off and move on, perhaps never dealing with you again.
Yet now, Han Lie's stance was equivalent to throwing his entire self onto the wager. Without success, he would die trying!
If things went wrong, the entire Fudan financial circle would reject him, mock him, attack him, and broadcast his laughable failure.
The price to pay was far more than just losing some money.
Old Jin was utterly dumbfounded.
Wait, you're already successful and wealthy. Why the need to go all in like this?!
He didn't understand but was massively shocked.
In reality, Han Lie wasn't taking much of a risk at all. With a sure-win bet, why not act boldly?
Too arrogant? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Being arrogant was exactly right!
Facing a major bank president, I'm just a newcomer, a young man. If I don't establish such an assertive stance, how can I leave the most profound impression on him?
This was part of building his personal brand, and also the necessary bravado when facing significant opportunities.
Back then, Jack Ma, Liu Qiangdong, and Lei Jun—each boasted more extravagantly than the last. Everyone knows the results now—they delivered, and thus became legends.
But one must never be like Jia Xiaozhou. Those who only boast without delivering will eventually make a bleak exit and end up in exile.
Han Lie's multi-layered schemes were truly a case of applying what he'd learned, and he applied it masterfully...
Old Jin was stunned for a couple of blinks before finally making a decision—
"Fine, I'll take your plan. I'm in on your bet!"
He didn't mention whether to buy the subordinated portion or not; that clearly required further consideration.
However, as long as he could approve the first half of Han Lie's plan, Han Lie's scheming would be completely successful.
The brokerage fee was securely in hand, and his consumption funds would surge by a hundred million.
Another fund with a 5 billion yuan scale was established. He'd just buy index ETFs and park the money there, basically no need to worry.
By pulling President Jin onto his war chariot, their relationship would grow increasingly close as profits materialized in the future. In a sense, this meant Han Lie could share Jin Yu's Fudan platform.
Simultaneously, this created ample opportunity to win over non-core contacts and rapidly expand his network.
Han Lie already had two-thirds of Magic Capital's three local banks—SPD Bank, Bank of Shanghai, and the Rural Commercial Bank—under his influence. To put it arrogantly, this essentially locked down all of Gao Diaomao's financing possibilities with local financial institutions.
Non-local financial institutions didn't need to be considered. They wouldn't possibly pay attention to Gao Diaomao. His only lifeline was to leverage the upper echelons of the local factions to secure loans from local institutions and ride out the storm.
Now, Han Lie had preemptively blocked this path, and the net had fully closed.
The remaining 2.5 billion cash in the structured fund was an ace up his sleeve.
At a critical moment, whichever bank branch that 2.5 billion was deposited into, its manager would surely be happy to do Han Lie a small favor—like recalling Gao Diaomao's loan prematurely.
Teacher Han, this is what they call financial backstabbing, huh?
Exactly!
Honestly, regardless of how Han Lie ultimately managed to consolidate these resources, judging by the current situation, only one phrase could describe it—absolutely winning!
Han Lie, with a smile, left all the contracts and documents with Jin Yu, then stood up and shook hands with him.
"President Jin, you're a man of many affairs. Shall I go and begin preparations then?"
Not only did President Jin shake hands with Han Lie firmly, he even patted the back of Han Lie's hand twice with his left hand, showing great affection.
"Good, pleased to be cooperating!"
His words were concise and to the point, without any roundabout talk. Finally, he expressed his appreciation for Han Lie in another way—
"I'll have the office director coordinate with you. Once we succeed, I'll introduce you to the core circle of Fudan's financial world!"
"I'm deeply grateful!"
Han Lie made a half bow with courtesy, reining in his arrogance and returning to his usual respectful demeanor.
"Then, please don't bother seeing me out. Goodbye!"
After leaving the office, he exchanged pleasantries with Office Director Geng Tong, who then saw him off. Han Lie went downstairs and got into the car.
He passed several beautiful women on the way without an opportunity to flirt, yet Han Lie was inwardly excited and thrilled.
He was just one step away from fame, fortune, and achieving Divine Enthronement!
"Boss, where are we heading?" Liang Wu asked at the right time.
Han Lie turned his head, his eyes smiling as he looked at her. "Let me give you a little quiz: where do you think I'm headed now?"
His little assistant pondered for a moment and then asked uncertainly, "To the SAIC headquarters?"
"Haha!" Han Lie laughed heartily and waved his hand, instructing Cheng Shi, "Back to the company!"
Then, with a mischievous smile at Lizzy, he raised an eyebrow. "Call President Xing for me later... With such great news, wouldn't it be quite impolite if *he* didn't come to pay *me* a visit?"
Is... is that right?! Liang Wu felt her head spin.
I'm a bit lost now... In this whole affair... who exactly is asking a favor from whom?
