Chapter 876: Chapter 361: A Corner of the Gray Curtain

Q: When a trader shows the potential to win every battle and make accurate judgments, how many shady characters will come knocking at their door?!

A: Countless.

Since the Shanghai Composite Index reached 2030 points, the 50th floor of the Zhongmei at the International Financial Center in Pudong had become bustling, and even busier were Assistant Liang’s and Han Lie’s phones.

Although the company had tried its best to keep the news under wraps, there were always those who had the keen sense to pick up on it and come knocking.

Panzi took on part of it, Liu Dalue took on another part, and the rest had to be shouldered by Han Lie himself.

"Mr. Han, your company is located in Pudong, and both the registered capital and fundraising scale have met the requirements. According to the regulations, you can apply for various preferential measures. If you don’t have the time, I can help you with it. My brother-in-law is so-and-so..."

"Mr. Han, is there any issue with the fund registration? I can expedite it for you here... Oh, by the way, I heard there’s still balance in our Supernova One?"

"President Han, the district is giving you great importance..."

"President Han, I’ve long wanted to get acquainted with you. My name is Zhao Qilong, and I have a sum of money I’d like you to manage. My requirements are not high, just a favor?"

The gray curtain of the world finally unveiled a corner for Han Lie.

The events Xu Xiang experienced back then were reenacted on him.

However, Han Lie didn’t flinch, he stood firm.

"Let’s fix a time, and have your brother-in-law talk to me directly, what, am I not qualified to sit and have a meal with him?"

"Which deputy director of the registration committee are you from? Mr. Wan, Mr. Zhong, or Mr. Chi? The other day we just had tea together, give me a name, and I’ll ask around."

"Thanks to the district, I am always ready to welcome you, eagerly waiting for your visit."

"Mr. Zhao, since the requirements aren’t high, just lend the money to Zhongmei. I’ll give you a fixed annual interest of 12%, isn’t that fair?"

Faced with various probing, Han Lie displayed a level of extreme confidence and toughness.

Joking aside, the net has been laid for so long, wasn’t it just for today?

If I even fear a bunch of minions using a tiger’s skin as a banner, how am I supposed to manage a fund worth billions?!

Han Lie didn’t bother if there were really weighty figures behind these people, he just pushed them all back directly.

Subtlety?

Nonexistent.

At your level, you don’t deserve my subtlety.

Not convinced? Bring your big boss!

So after about three bustling days, the ill-intentioned pressure and probing immediately died down.

Indeed, running a private equity has many stakeholders, the company entity must be under various administrative departments, the company products need to be supervised and regulated by various parties.

But whether you can withstand it mainly depends on the individual.

If you don’t stand upright and have loopholes to exploit, sometimes you can’t help but be dragged onto the car.

But if you are cautious enough, actually those little demons don’t have many ways.

After all, private equity wins by performance. If you can earn big money in the open market without breaking the law, then all the clients and local departments are your backing.

Local support not strong?

Then what if I just change locations?!

On Thursday, Han Lie in the office met with representatives from Qianhai in Shenzhen, Hengqin in Zhuhai, and Hanjiang in Wuhan.

They were very courteous.

They meticulously introduced local preferential policies for private equity firms to Han Lie, such as direct settlement rewards, fundraising scale rewards, registered capital refunds, and tax incentives, hoping to attract Han Lie to relocate.

Han Lie sincerely told them—

The whole relocation is certainly unrealistic, at present there’s no such plan, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility of registering the subsidiary equity investment fund of Sky Capital in a financial innovation park with the best policies in the future.

All parties expressed understanding, bid farewell to Han Lie amicably, and planned to keep in long-term contact.

Once this matter came out, Panzi immediately took the opportunity to find someone to complain, and then the appropriate preferential policies for Zhongmei were in place within a few days...

No one directly apologized to Han Lie, but no one bothered him further either.

The last hurdle to establishing a foothold on the Bund in Shanghai was easily crossed like this.

...

Apart from the clueless individuals, quite a few legitimate people came to see Han Lie this week.

Wu Qilong and his spouse visited once, directly to the company, and invested 10 million.

Mr. Cai brought Zha Zha and Hu Ge to have a meal with Han Lie, and together they invested 20 million.

Zha Zha herself didn’t have that much money, so Dog Lie paid 10 million for her, exposing their cards in front of Mr. Cai.

Then Mr. Cai accidentally drank a little too much, sighing and lamenting, confiding to everyone about her tough life.

After all the effort to groom a top female star, only to watch her run off with an old man.

The next one is just starting to show potential, and she might be lured away by a man again!

Total amused, Zha Zha said, "I won’t even get married, let alone go public. Where would I go? You can rest assured to groom me, I’ll surely do my best as the company’s top star!"

Smiling, Han Lie said, "Not only will I not poach Zha Zha, I even have an S-grade drama and a Cartier ambassador title ready for her. Mr. Cai, hurry and prepare the new contract. As long as the terms satisfy me, new resources will be immediately available."

"Really?!"

Overjoyed, Mr. Cai eagerly asked about the new drama.

When she learned it was Gu Man’s "Love O2O", she immediately decided, "I’ll give her top-notch treatment, and spare no effort to promote her as the company’s top star!"

This decision was an easy one.

Han Lie is so wealthy, he can casually pay the full penalty to take Zha Zha away.
