After talking to Song Jinglun, Liu Jun returned to the Diva's home.
After sitting in the living room for a while, Xiao Yun walked over and said,"Old Master, there's someone outside looking for you. He said his name is Feng Jingxi, and you used to know him.”
"Feng Jingxi?"
Liu Jun searched his brain. There was indeed a memory about Feng Jingxi in his memory.
"Xiao Yun, let them in first and pour a cup of tea for the guests.”
"Yes, Master."
Not long after, Xiao Yun came over with a young man. This young man looked to be around 27 or 28 years old and had a lean figure. Although he was young, the hair on his head was very sparse, showing signs of balding.
However, he looked very energetic, and his eyes were filled with stubbornness and shrewdness.
"Mr. Feng, please take a seat." Liu Jun raised his hand and invited Feng Jingxi to sit down.
Feng Jingxi looked at the sofa and then looked down at his clothes that were covered in sand. He stood there uneasily and did not dare to sit down.
"It's okay, Mr. Feng. Have a seat." Seeing the uneasiness on Feng Jingxi's face, Liu Jun said casually.
"This…this…"
"It's really fine. It'll be fine if it's dirty. The sofa is for people to sit on.”
Hearing Liu Jun's words, Feng Jingxi sat down. However, he only dared to place half of his butt on the sofa while the other half was suspended in the air.
"Mr. Feng, may I know why you're looking for me?”
Two years ago, Feng Jingxi was doing a gold and silver exchange business in Guangzhou. Liu Jun had once offered him gold bars. The two of them had some business dealings, but they were not friends.
" I came to Liu Sheng this time because I have a favor to ask. I think..." Feng Jingxi was a little embarrassed to continue.
Liu Jun was sure that Feng Jingxi should be the founder of the Feng family, but he still looked very young and did not have many businessmen.
"It's okay. You and I are considered old friends. If you have anything to say, just say it. I will definitely help if I can.”Liu Jun comforted him again.
"It's like this, Liu Sheng.
I originally heard that selling fish fry from Guangzhou to Treasure Island could make a lot of money, so I wanted to do the business of selling fish fry. At that time, a friend advised me not to do this kind of business because I was neither familiar with the water nor the characteristics of the fish. In addition, there were bandits on the sea at that time. If I was hit by a shell, I would lose myself.
But at that time, I insisted on doing it. I thought this business could make a lot of money. In order to raise funds, I even sold my old building.
However, who knew that there would be unexpected events. Not long after my fish fry boat left Guangzhou Bay, it encountered a huge storm. I almost vomited bile on the sea. The boat drifted with the wind in the storm, but in the end, it safely arrived at Treasure Island.
Unfortunately, the fish on the ship had died long ago, and the capital I had accumulated over the years had been lost.
I was unwilling to return empty-handed like this. I wanted to fight again, so I had the idea of targeting the ship owner. I discussed with the owner of the boat that we would use this boat as collateral to transport bananas from Taiwan back to Guangzhou.
Of course, the owner wouldn't take the risk. If you refuse, I won't be able to pay the shipping fee when I go back. It seems that I can only jump into the sea!
The owner of the ship was half sympathetic and half helpless, so he had no choice but to agree to my request.
However, Old Man Fate didn't sympathize with me at all. On the way back, the sea was filled with strong winds. The boat kept stopping and stopping. When we finally returned to Hong Kong, the bananas were already rotten.
Not only did I not earn a single cent, but I also owed a huge debt…"
"So, Mr. Feng, you came to me to borrow a sum of money to make a comeback?”Liu Jun picked up the cigarette box, gave one to Feng Jingxi, and lit it for him.
"Yes." Feng Jingxi took a puff of his cigarette and said,"I wonder if Liu Sheng can lend me a sum of money on the account that we're old friends.”
"Sure, how much do you want to borrow?"
"Fifty thousand."
Liu Jun nodded." It's not a big sum. I can lend it to you. However, I want to know what kind of business you plan to do with this money.”
"Liu Sheng, are you willing to lend it to me?" Feng Jingxi asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"I want to take this money back to Guangzhou and continue my old business-buying and selling gold and silver. There were still many families in Guangzhou who had large and small yellow croakers and silver ingots. The new government was implementing a currency reform, so they needed to cash in their gold and silver.
" There are many people in Guangzhou who are looking for ways to leave Guangzhou. They need gold and silver very much. Then, there will be a market for the gold and silver I bought. This business can be done.”
"You do have a good eye. I'll give you 200,000 yuan, and the 100,000 yuan will be considered a loan to you without interest. The other 100,000 will be my investment in you. How about you bring me along to make a fortune?”
"Liu Sheng, are you serious?”Feng Jingxi stood up from the sofa and asked.
"Of course, I won't joke about money.”
"Thank you, thank you. Thank you, Liu Sheng." Feng Jingxi said hurriedly.
"No need to thank me. Everyone has a time of trouble. Mr. Feng, you have a tenacious character.”
"Thank you for your kind words, Liu Sheng!"
As soon as Feng Jingxi finished speaking, his stomach made a rumbling sound.
"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Feng is hungry.”As Liu Jun spoke, he said to Xiao Yun who was standing at the side,""Xiao Yun, tell Sister Chen to prepare a bowl of noodles.”
Feng Jingxi heard Liu Jun's words and said shyly,"I'm really sorry. I'm short of money and haven't eaten for more than a day.”
" Don't worry. Mencius once said that Shun was born in the fields, Fu Shuo was born in the buildings, Jiao Li was born in fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was born in the scholars, Sun Shu 'ao was born in the sea, and Baili Xi was born in the market.
Therefore, when heaven is about to give great responsibilities to people, they must first suffer their minds, work hard on their bones and muscles, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. This is to arouse their hearts, endure their nature, and help them do what they cannot do.
The heavens are testing you by letting you suffer a little now. Now that the test is over, what awaits you is only a bright and smooth road.”
"Then I have to thank you for your good words, Liu Sheng.”
Feng Jingxi stayed behind to eat a bowl of noodles before leaving with the cashier order from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank that Liu Jun had issued.
Li Hongji told him about Feng Jingxi's gossip decades later. Feng Jingxi's family background was not good. His father was just a small business owner, and his mother died early. His stepmother was very mean to him. He left home in his early years and went out to mingle in the underworld.
He had sold gold and silver and opened a restaurant. However, in order to bring the fish to the island, he had sold the restaurant as well. He had lost all his wealth and even owed a lot of debt.
Later on, he continued to sell gold and silver. After he had some capital, he started the import and export trade. After that, he started a new Hongyi with Li Yanji and Guo Desheng.
However, Feng Jingxi left early. When Liu Jun and Li Yanji were familiar with each other, he was already gone. Naturally, Liu Jun did not have much contact with him.
However, Feng Jingxi had two amazing sons. Although the Feng family's reputation would not be prominent in the future, they would have hundreds of billions of assets on the surface. This did not include the secret part.
Liu Jun was curious, so he asked someone to investigate. He found that the Feng family secretly held shares of many large groups. Their actual assets were actually close to trillions, which was not much inferior to Li Jiazai's Li family.
