Chapter 870: Reunited with Reggie Green!
New York International Airport!
As a Boeing aircraft touched down gently on the runway, Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Jiang Xue, who stood beside him with a pale face, his eyes filled with concern.
It was her first time on such a long flight, and with her relatives visiting, she had endured quite a bit of hardship during the journey.
Once the plane had come to a complete stop and the cabin door opened, Li Yi helped Jiang Xue, whose legs were trembling, to her feet and slowly walked down the stairs.
As soon as they set foot on the ground, Li Yi said, “Don’t get on the shuttle bus just yet. Let’s stand outside and catch our breath!”
Jiang Xue did as Li Yi said and stood by the shuttle bus to catch her breath.
Sure enough, after basking in the sun for a few minutes, Jiang Xue felt her body regain some strength.
Although her body still felt a bit weak and achy, her head wasn’t as dizzy as before.
“How are you feeling now? Do you want to rest a little longer?”
“No, let’s just get going. I want to find a place to sleep as soon as possible!” Jiang Xue said.
Knowing his wife hadn’t adjusted to the time difference yet, Li Yi immediately helped her onto the shuttle bus.
After going through a series of immigration procedures, the group finally made their way out of the airport.
As soon as they reached the exit, Li Yi spotted Reggie Green waving at him from a distance.
Seeing this, Li Yi immediately waved back.
Once they met up, Green Reggie immediately gave Li Yi a big hug and said happily, “Li, you finally remembered to stop by the company!”
Li Yi smiled and said, “I’ve just been so busy lately, but now I finally have some time!”
“Hahaha, I’ve heard all about what you did in London—I have to say, you pulled it off brilliantly!”
At that moment, Reggie Green also noticed Jiang Xue standing beside Li Yi and asked right away, “Li, is this lady your wife?”
Before leaving, Li Yi had sent a telegram to Green Reggie, informing him that he would be coming to New York with his wife and asking him to arrange accommodations for them while also raising as much capital as possible.
So Green Reggie knew that one of the three women with Li Yi must be his wife. Judging by their current circumstances, Jiang Xue clearly fit the bill best.
“Yes, my wife, Jiang Xue!”
Green Reggie immediately extended his hand and said, “Beautiful lady, welcome to New York!”
Although Jiang Xue wasn’t feeling well and was a bit nervous, after hearing Li Yunbao’s translation, she extended her hand with poise and said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Green. My husband speaks of you often!”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Yi explained to Green Reggie that Jiang Xue wasn’t feeling well. Green Reggie also noticed that Jiang Xue didn’t look quite right, so he promptly led the group out to the parking lot.
Then, escorted by Green Reggie’s bodyguards, the group left the airport!
The car drove along the suburban highway for over half an hour before entering downtown New York.
It was Jiang Xue, Zhang Feng, Pang Feiyan, and the others’ first time here, and they were instantly stunned by the dense forest of skyscrapers before them.
Although Hong Kong is also an international metropolis, its urban development pales in comparison to New York’s. After all, Hong Kong is small and densely populated, with too many slums like Kowloon Walled City.
New York, however, was different. As far as the eye could see, the cityscape was filled with skyscrapers, a sight that was truly awe-inspiring.
The motorcade didn’t stop in the city center; it quickly passed through downtown and arrived at Manhattan Island, New York’s most renowned affluent district.
Much like Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island, Manhattan Island is a hub for New York’s wealthy elite.
This small island, spanning less than sixty square kilometers, is not only home to New York City’s Central Business District and the world’s highest concentration of skyscrapers, but also houses the headquarters of the vast majority of Fortune 500 companies and serves as the site of the United Nations Headquarters.
Consequently, some refer to it as the economic and cultural center of the entire United States.
The motorcade soon arrived at Green Reggie’s estate in the northern part of the island. After seeing the exhausted Jiang Xue to her room to rest, Li Yi accompanied Green Reggie to the study and reception room on the second floor.
“Li, would you like tea or coffee?”
“Just pour me a glass of water. I’m afraid tea or coffee will keep me awake later!” Li Yi said with a smile.
“You’re right—coffee can really keep you up!”
With that, Green Reggie brewed a cup of tea for Li Yi, then made himself a cup of coffee.
After finishing these tasks, Green Reggie sat down in the chair next to Li Yi.
“Green, how’s the company doing?”
Green Reggie replied immediately with a smile, “Excellent, Li. You really are an investment genius. Following the development plan you left me, our company’s investment profit margin reached 150% in the first half of this year—surpassing the legendary William and even Warren Buffett. We’re the best-performing investment firm on Wall Street this year!”
“Currently, the company manages $12 billion in funds, and our stock price has tripled in just six months. Our market capitalization has now reached $11.5 billion. If this trend continues, we might all become billionaires!”
Li Yi smiled faintly and said, “Green, don’t get so excited—I’m already a billionaire!”
Green Reggie: @#￥%……
“All right, enough joking around. The company is doing very well, and I’m very satisfied!”
Li Yi then changed the subject and continued, “Now I’d like to discuss some investment matters with you!”
Hearing this, Green Reggie immediately replied with some excitement, “Li, I’ve already sold off nearly all the shares I held as you instructed. We’ve recovered 8 billion US dollars so far—I’m not sure if that’s enough…”
“Let’s not rush into discussing the funds just yet. What I want to talk to you about are the investment rules—or rather, the conditions!” Li Yi said.
“What conditions?”
Li Yi replied immediately, “I can guarantee a profit margin of over 50% on this investment, but I need half of the returns!”
Green Reggie was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, “Li, can you really guarantee a profit margin of 50%?”
“That’s just a conservative estimate; the actual return could be even higher!” Li Yi said.
“If you can truly guarantee a return on investment of over 50%, it’s perfectly reasonable for you to take half the profits!” said Green Reggie.
“Furthermore, during the investment period, all personnel and funds must follow my commands—no one is to disobey my orders!” Li Yi added.
“Well…”
Green Reggie hesitated slightly. After all, this was a massive sum of over 8 billion yuan; if anything went wrong, the company could go bankrupt.
But considering Li Yi’s uncanny investment prowess, Green Reggie hesitated briefly before immediately saying, “Alright, I agree!”
“Alright then, immediately secure a loan from the bank in the company’s name!” Li Yi said.
“How much do you need?”
“Borrow as much as you can—there’s no upper limit!” Li Yi said.
“Alright!”
Green then asked again, “Li, could you tell me about this investment plan? Don’t get me wrong, I’m just…”
Before he could finish, Li Yi cut him off: “I’ll tell you the plan before we take action, but not now. Right now, your job is to raise the funds as quickly as possible.”
“Alright!”
“Also, set up a stock trading account for me, arrange for a few bodyguards and two cars—I’m planning to take a spin in the stock market!” Li Yi said.
He hadn’t forgotten his promise to help his wife earn some pocket money!
“No problem, I’ll take care of it right away!”
“Alright…”
