Brooklyn, New York, a hippie gathering place, in addition to a variety of high-end vintage shops all over the streets, cafes are also the same.

Compared to Manhattan, where space is at a premium, cafés in Brooklyn seem to have more room to play, each with its own style that attracts New Yorkers across the bridge.

People who live in this neighborhood buy a cup of coffee every morning, which is more of a habit than waking up their brains.

Xin Qing chose a coffee shop called Devocion, and she came half an hour earlier than the time she agreed with Lin Dingqiang.

I ordered two cups of iced American, and then asked for some croissants, and sat on the barstool quietly waiting for Lin Dingqiang's arrival.

Lin Dingqiang was sent back to the hotel by the driver Wang Bo after repairing the faucet last night, and Wang Bo picked him up from the PARK HAYYT Hotel in Zhongcheng District this morning.

When he arrived at the agreed place, he was attracted by the appearance of this café. The overall façade is a black brick appearance that contrasts strongly with the red bricks that are representative of the Brooklyn area, like a low-key black rose among thousands of reds.

The shop is very spacious, and the neatly arranged small yellow cups of coffee are eye-catching. Sunlight slipped in through the huge patio and it was well lit.

Walls lined with greenery to relieve visual fatigue after work, a brick wall with a daily New York Times for guests to flip through, and wooden tables, chairs and sofas for a lazy feel.

After entering the door, Lin Dingqiang first passed by the coffee bean roasting room, and through the glass window, you could see the coffee bean roasting process.

Compared with these green coffee beans from Colombia, today's Xin Qing has a girl-next-door feeling.

A pure white wool hat with a rose-red trench coat jacket, a cherry brooch on the collar of the jacket and a heart, perfectly echoing the Gucci cherry bag placed aside, and a pair of knee-high boots on the feet, playfully swaying, holding the chin in both hands, looking in the direction of the door.

Xin Qing saw Lin Dingqiang coming over and waved her hand happily, "Here." ”

Lin Dingqiang nodded, and after sitting down, Xin Qing handed the coffee to Lin Dingqiang, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's ok. Lin Dingqiang replied, "What about you? There is no water leaking in the back, right?"

Xin Qing smiled and said, "I didn't think you would be able to do this craft!"

"There are many skills, but not pressure. Lin Dingqiang smiled, "By the way, when are we going to start?"

Lin Dingqiang looked around the table, except for Xin Qing's bag, two cups of coffee and croissant, he didn't see any tools for recording, and Xin Qing said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, in fact, the manuscript has already been written." ”

Lin Dingqiang frowned, "It's written?"

"That's right. Xin Qing nodded, "I wrote it when you and Jinwei were still in Europe." ”

After speaking, Xin Qing stirred the spoon in the coffee cup and asked, "Lao Lin, I want to ask that question last night." ”

"Regret your decision?"

Xin Qing sighed lightly, and Lin Dingqiang's thoughts spun rapidly, "Actually, the decision I regret the most is that I shouldn't have insisted on it at the beginning." ”

After hearing Lin Dingqiang's reply, Xin Qing instantly understood what he meant.

Lin Dingqiang continued: "If you don't insist, after listening to Qin Huan's opinion, maybe you won't be given such pressure and expectations, and you don't have to hide here to endure all this alone." ”

The corners of Xin Qing's mouth twitched a little after hearing this, and her eyes moistened, "Lao Lin, thank you." ”

"Actually, after I went on this journey, I also understood a truth. Lin Dingqiang said with a smile: "The more you want to keep it, life will often play a big joke with you." Rather than this, it is better to be casual and casual, and live comfortably yourself, and others will not suffer. ”

Xin Qing nodded silently, and after a while, she raised her head and laughed again, "It seems that both of us have found the meaning of travel." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Feng Xiaonan's phone called, and after Lin Dingqiang connected, he asked, "What's the matter?"

It was still early in the morning on the Huaxia side, Feng Xiaonan said excitedly: "Chairman, we found a listed company that has been falling for 14 consecutive days, according to the analysis of me and all the staff of the zero point investigation, this stock is about to bottom out." ”

Lin Dingqiang turned on the speakerphone and put the phone on the table, "You go on." ”

The company's name is Dingchuan Holdings, and the 14 falling limits have caused the stock price to plummet from a high of 60 yuan to 12 yuan, and the market value has evaporated by more than 26 billion yuan. Feng Xiaonan said vigorously: "And we have also received the rumor, as long as the market opens at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, there will be an inflow of northbound funds, which will drive the stock price, and it may become a heaven and earth board." If we buy this stock properly, we will definitely be able to ride this trend and make a profit. ”

After hearing this, Xin Qing asked, "Mr. Feng, is it 14 down limits?"

Feng Xiaonan heard Xin Qing's voice, and was silent for a long time, she didn't know that Lin Dingqiang and Xin Qing had met again, and she still called out according to her previous name: "Yes, sister-in-law." ”

Xin Qing frowned slightly, her fingers were also tapping rhythmically on the table, and after about thirty seconds, she asked again, "Has the second largest shareholder of this company been found?"

Feng Xiaonan has been prepared for a long time, "It is an investment company called Chongzhong Capital, registered in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area, from last quarter to yesterday, it held 19.8698 million shares of Dingchuan shares, with a shareholding ratio of 3.55%. ”

Xin Qing then asked, "Then did he also have an increase when he bought Ding Chuan?"

"That's right, sister-in-law. Feng Xiaonan replied: "Chongzhong first bought Dingchuan Holdings, when the stock price was at the bottom, the average price was only 16-20 yuan; in the first quarter of this year, the stock price rose to around 24 yuan during the increase in Chongzhong's holdings; in the second quarter, the stock price rose sharply, Chongzuo Zhongshuo's holdings did not move; in the third quarter, the stock price rose to more than 55 yuan, Chongzuo Zhongshuo began to reduce its holdings, and then from the beginning of the plunge, it reduced its holdings to the shares it currently holds. ”

"Chongzhong easily doubled when buying at a low price to the peak of the stock price, and began to take precautions before it plummeted. Xin Qing said seriously: "Do you think there will be someone sitting in the village?"

The question was thrown to Feng Xiaonan's lips, and before she could speak, Xin Qing continued: "Mr. Feng, I think this stock will skyrocket when it opens tomorrow." ”

"Sister-in-law, do you mean you can buy it?" Feng Xiaonan asked.

"Then it's going to be a matter of whether you can buy it. Xin Qing said meaningfully.

"What does that mean?"

Xin Qing cleared her throat, "A crazy rise after a plunge like this, the opportunity will only be in a moment. And you said that there will be a northbound capital to join, according to my analysis, the first minute or two of the opening of the fall limit will be forcibly pried open, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of large orders will become the norm. ”

As she spoke, Xin Qing took out her mobile phone, opened the calculator, and began to make a simple estimate, "According to the stock price and the price limit you just said, I expect that the transaction volume of this stock will reach more than 2.5 billion tomorrow, and the turnover rate will exceed 35%. ”

Lin Dingqiang was dumbfounded, he knew that Xin Qing was very powerful, but he didn't know that Xin Qing could start predicting in a short period of time with a calculator that came with his mobile phone, and he also gave more detailed values.

"This kind of opportunity is not very common. Xin Qing said excitedly: "However, Mr. Feng, I still said what I said just now, this piece of meat Rongshan may not be able to eat." ”

Feng Xiaonan's side was also organizing people to start checking the values given by Xin Qing, "Sister-in-law, you say." ”

"Transactions of this magnitude are often completed in an instant. It's too difficult for retail investors to get in. Xin Qing said unhurriedly: "But zero point can also practice through this matter." ”

Feng Xiaonan asked, "How to practice?"

"Look at how fast you guys react. Xin Qing smiled and said, "After the market opens tomorrow, you have to pay attention to who the sellers and buyers of Ding Chuan are." Let's see if we can find out where they are before the first skyplate. ”

"Okay, let's try. Feng Xiaonan said confidently.

Xin Qing nodded, "Then we will wait for your good news." ”

After speaking, Xin Qing hung up the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Dingqiang quipped: "You are really amazing." ”

"Haven't I always been like this?" Xin Qing said confidently, she looked at the Neapolitan Queen watch that Lin Ding was wearing on her wrist, "It's almost time, Jinwei said last night that let's go over for brunch." ”

Xin Qing's eyes looked at Lin Dingqiang's wrist, and she didn't notice that he was wearing a watch, "Didn't you wear a watch today?"

Only then did Lin Dingqiang react, "I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to be in the hotel." ”

Xin Qing's face was a little lost, but she still tried her best to keep smiling, "I'll ask casually, but it's time to change the clown I gave you." We'll pick a new one another day. Let's get out. ”

The two went out, and Uncle Wang also drove the car over, and after getting in the car, he drove towards the Upper East Side.

Huo Jinwei's apartment is in Sky, the most prestigious hotel on the peninsula, and the people who live here are either rich or expensive, and many domestic celebrities have also bought properties here.

Of course, Sky has all the amenities and ultimate experiences that a luxury apartment has to offer, such as the ability to play the full court on an oversized indoor basketball court or, if you're lucky, compete with NBA stars.

Go out and turn left on the western expressway, and it only takes 15 minutes to take a taxi to Columbia, and the geographical location is similar to the second and third ring roads of the capital.

The car stopped at the door of the apartment, and the doorman with a white suit standing at the door opened the door for the two of them.

Xin Qing took out the guest code sent by Huo Jinwei last night, and after asking the doorman, she got on the elevator, scanned the code and pressed the button on the 35th floor.

The elevator rose quickly, Xin Qing straightened her makeup and hair in the mirror in the elevator, and said, "Lao Lin, how long are you and Jinwei going back?"

"Just these two days. Lin Dingqiang replied: "The capital still has to wait for me to go over and preside over the start of construction." ”

"Good. ”

Bite.

The elevator came to the thirty-fifth floor, which was different from Lin Dingqiang's apartment in the capital, as soon as the door opened, it was the front hall of the apartment, and there was no such thing as an anti-theft door.

Huo Jinwei's preference has always been luxurious, the marble on the floor of the hall is all from Italy, and you can see carefully wrapped calfskin everywhere, the most unexpected thing is that there is a masterpiece from the domestic oil painting master Zhou Chunya hanging in the entrance, and the transaction price of that year was more than 30 million.

After turning two corners, I came to the living room, low-key luxury will not make people feel a sense of distance, and it can be seen from the crystal cup on the wall that this is indeed Huo Jinwei's favorite style.

Lin Dingqiang's eyes were sharp, he saw the bowl with the names of Lin Huo and the others written on it at a glance among the many glass and crystal objects, and the spotlight seemed to be extremely dazzling at the moment, and the brightness reflected exceeded the mirror in the elevator just now.

At one end of the living room, there is a small swimming pool about five meters wide, which is added from the back from the staircase, and the pool is surrounded by large floor-to-ceiling glass, and the glass is a panoramic view of the Manhattan Peninsula.

Huo Jinwei walked down to the second floor in her home clothes, and after seeing Xin Qing and Lin Dingqiang, she first gave Xin Qing a big hug.

Xin Qing didn't refuse, the two girls greeted each other for a while, Huo Jinwei took Xin Qing's hand and said, "You guys are here, I'm going to starve to death." ”

"Just dealt with some things with Lao Lin. Xin Qing replied.

"How's the interview?" Huo Jinwei quipped, "I'm waiting to read your article!"

Xin Qing smiled slightly: "It's very pleasant, I'll see the newspaper in two days." ”

"Then I'll buy two more copies," Huo Jinwei said happily, "Let's go, you can start." ”

Huo Jinwei took the two of them to the restaurant, there were only three of them for brunch today, but there were more than a dozen cooks and waiters.

The long table is covered with a white lace tablecloth, three sets of cutlery are ready, and there is no shortage of wine.

The waiter brought the red wine specially prepared by Huo Jinwei, and Huo Jinwei introduced: "This is the Margaux of the previous year, although the year is a little worse, but the taste of the food is not bad." I've got four or five bottles ready today, and the three of us must have a good time. ”

Lin Dingqiang sat down and said half-jokingly: "I've been drinking since morning!"

"Of course, when you're drunk, you just rest here. Huo Jinwei responded: "There is a spare room upstairs, and when you wake up at night, we can still watch the stars." ”

After speaking, Huo Jinwei asked the invited waiter to open the red wine, and she continued: "It's almost Christmas, I have prepared two gifts for you, which can be regarded as for myself." ”

"What gift?"

"The first gift was today's chef, one of the most famous French chefs on the peninsula, whom I had managed to invite, and his specialty was quail stuffed with mushrooms. Huo Jinwei said mysteriously: "You'll know when you taste it later." ”

"What about the second one?" Lin Dingqiang asked.

Huo Jinwei looked at Lin Dingqiang with a smile, "Ding Qiang, last time I heard you say that your favorite sport is basketball. Then since you've come to the United States, you're definitely going to see a Christmas fight!"

"Really?"

"How could I lie to you. Huo Jinwei nodded, "I bought three tickets for the first row of the infield, and the three of us will go together when the time comes, take a good look." ”

"Thank you, Jinwei. Xin Qing thanked: "That ticket is not easy to buy, right?"

"It's a little thing, just be happy. Huo Jinwei said nonchalantly: "Come, let's taste the wine first, and the appetizer will be served later." ”
