Chapter 815: Chapter 332: Li Yang at a Loss for Words (3)

You can drink a little at gatherings with classmates or friends.

Today clearly wasn’t a gathering among friends, we still had business to discuss.

After eating a few bites, Li Yang said, "The ones really making money this time are those guys in Europe. After all, our base is too small, and they’re basically making money lying down."

Li Yang’s side indeed had a high profit margin, but the earnings were limited.

The companies in Europe, however, had a high base.

For example, earning ten times on a million is ten million.

But earning double on a hundred million is a hundred million.

Green Water Group sold more than 20 billion euros worth of goods, and after deducting various costs, they could basically make three to four hundred million euros, while Green Water Group not only got scolded but also didn’t make much money.

Zheng Dasheng leaned over and asked, "What did President Li say? Do you have any plans?"

"It’s not really a plan, business is about win-win cooperation! We need to collaborate more in the future. However, due to various reasons, they need to be braver. If they’re too timid, there’s nothing to play."

Zheng Dasheng: "..."

What does that mean?

He doesn’t understand!

Li Yang continued, "I never really cared about this project, after all, it only earns a little money, and I’m better off at home taking care of my wife. She easily made 200 billion USD in just two and a half months; just a little spill over from her nail cracks is enough for me."

Zheng Dasheng: "?????"

"There are plenty of opportunities to make big money, but it depends on whether the other party is willing to cooperate. Don’t find this or that excuse when the time comes. I’ve always treated friends well, but if you don’t want to cooperate later on, leave as soon as possible so we don’t waste each other’s time."

Li Yang has no roots abroad and often lacks support.

This time doing business in Europe gave those people considerable earnings, considered as an opportunity.

All I need is to make this sound mysterious; eventually, I’ll find some reliable allies.

The overall environment will definitely get worse; even if Li Yang is confident, relying solely on the domestic environment won’t last long. He must expand overseas channels.

He doesn’t know how much Jiang Banxia will ultimately earn, but he has already made over 70 billion USD. By next year’s second half, making 200 billion USD shouldn’t be a big problem.

Next, he plans to take new energy overseas, but this process won’t be particularly smooth, as this will shake the industrial foundation of Europe and America, and they’ll think of ways to obstruct.

Imposing taxes is only an overt method; never underestimate a group of people who built their careers on piracy—they have fewer scruples than imagined.

The only way to divide them is with money.

...

Extreme Shadow Cars have already started deliveries, and the financial points have started to be exchanged.

Currently, the funds in Wanliu Global Selection are backed by Wanliu Capital, and when the funds for the financial points exchange come in, portions will be carved out.

Anyway, Wanliu Global Selection is just that size—not too big, not too small—and is considered a fairly free amount in US Stocks.

Extreme Shadow Cars didn’t have a new model this year, but overall sales are still good.

This is equivalent to the foundation.

Li Yang here won’t be frequently updating models in the future; mainly because the technology hasn’t broken through yet. The only topic left is intelligent driving.

After five years and over 60 billion in investment, Extreme Shadow Cars’ intelligent driving is certainly leading globally, having not taken any detours.

For other companies, handling such a large project, spending money is secondary, efficiency definitely can’t compare to Extreme Shadow Cars. The bigger the company, the lower the efficiency of new projects.

Perhaps in a few more years, a decade or so, Extreme Shadow Group will also fall into a bloated structure; these are inevitable. Even though Li Yang has tried to avoid bloated organizations as much as possible, he can only delay the arrival of that day.

The same goes for Green Water Group, it will only get more bloated, and the further it goes, the higher the costs.

Therefore, expanding the scale is inevitable.

Last year, Green Water Group’s annual revenue was only a bit over 20 billion, which is certainly not enough; even multiplying that by ten wouldn’t suffice.

With nine malls, if running at full capacity, daily revenue should be around 2 billion.

Currently, most of the time, except for around the New Year when it can hit 1 billion for about half a month, the malls aren’t doing much.

The rest of the time is when Green Water Group is losing money.

After leaving, Li Yang returned to the residence and found Jiang Banxia packing things.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, going back to the villa. We can’t keep living here, and isn’t the quarantine period over?"

Li Yang: "..."

He walked over, put his arm around Jiang Banxia’s shoulder, and said, "Master Jiang, I have some bad news for you. I just had a meal with Zheng Dasheng and them, and they came from Jiangbei."

Jiang Banxia: "?????"

She really wanted to punch Li Yang!

This bastard!

Don’t bother me!

...

Even though the chance of something going wrong is almost zero, Jiang Banxia doesn’t want to risk it.

In the world of finance, if there’s a sixty percent chance, it’s worth the gamble for her, but in life, even a ninety-nine percent certainty isn’t reassuring to her.

"I’m telling you, I’ve already promised my family I’ll go back and live there in half a month, so..."

"Why so urgent? There’s still a month cooling-off period before the divorce, you could just say you’re busy lately."

Jiang Banxia smiled and said, "Bai Qing is about to give birth soon, do you really want me there watching? I can accept it, but my family might not be able to. It’s less hassle to leave early... Plus, it’ll be more convenient for you without having to cover up all the time."

"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

"Then what kind of person are you? Tell me?"

Li Yang: "..."

Perhaps touched by Jiang Banxia’s sincerity, Li Yang couldn’t joke around anymore.

When he thought about it carefully, he realized he indeed owed Jiang Banxia a lot.

Seeing Li Yang at a loss for words, Jiang Banxia said, "While there’s still time, take advantage of it and bully me a bit more, you might not have the chance in the future."

This guy, even he has a day when he can’t respond.

It never happened before.
