Chapter 464: Halberd Waterloo
The next day, Lin Huo and the others came to the site of the Waterloo battlefield, more than 30 kilometers away from Brussels.
In the distance, there is a tall hill with an iron lion on its top. But this iron lion is not a tribute to the invincible Napoleon, but, on the contrary, to the uniform of him.
The two walked along the path, and Huo Jinwei asked, "Ding Qiang, what do you say would have become of Europe if Napoleon had won?"
He will lead the iron cavalry to conquer the bear country, and then land on the rotten country, and realize his wish to drink the Thames River. Lin Dingqiang said with a smile: "Perhaps, it will further expand eastward until the Qing Dynasty at that time is overthrown." ”
Huo Jinwei said with a smile: "It seems that you really understand! Then do you know who built this mountain?"
This question stumped Lin Dingqiang, "You know?"
Huo Jinwei cleared her throat, "It was built by the women of Liege at that time, because they supported Napoleon, this is punitive labor. ”
"Why do you want women to do this labor?" asked Lin Dingqiang.
Huo Jinwei replied: "The man who said it was them is receiving a greater punishment. ”
Lin Dingqiang thought for a while, and said slowly: "I don't think so. ”
"What's wrong?"
"As you just said, these women supported Napoleon at that time, and the jealousy between men is often associated with women, and it is the greatest humiliation to Napoleon to use supporters to confirm his failure. Lin Dingqiang said solemnly: "Try to think about it, how do women feel when they hold the dirt under their feet covered with their man's blood with their soft hands?"
Huo Jinwei nodded as if she didn't understand, and said coldly, "It seems that you men are jealous, but they are no worse than women!"
"You think, there used to be more than 100,000 people fighting each other on the road less than two kilometers. Lin Dingqiang nodded at the ground under his feet and continued: "The soil here will never dry up. ”
In the distance, a group of Brussels schoolchildren are climbing up the stone steps of more than 200 steps to the top of the mountain, and it seems to them that they can have a better view of the performance to be seen by climbing to the top, they may not know the victorious Wellington, but they must know the Napoleon represented by this lion.
The two came to the viewing area, took out the invitation, and then were led by the volunteers of this event to take a seat.
There are three parties in the viewing area, and Lin Huo and the others are not in the middle because they are the last to get the invitation, on the west side facing the stage.
But it's already good to be able to come, and the two of them don't have any special obsessions, so they sat down.
Zhang Yuan's position was arranged on the side facing the stage, and Lin Dingqiang had already seen that the New Year's friend who was drinking together last night was in good spirits again, and he was communicating with the foreigners around him.
It is impossible for the performance to reproduce the scene of more than 100,000 people fighting to the death, and the soldiers on both sides add up to less than 50 people, but the costume props truly restore that bloody era.
With the host's annual introduction, this performance that I don't know whether to commemorate the winner or miss the loser begins.
The actors were all in high spirits and showed 120,000 points of acting skills to restore the battle scene for the children in the audience and on the top of the mountain.
The performances of foreigners are relatively exaggerated, such as having to do two or three finishing actions before lying peacefully on the ground after falling to the ground, which is comparable to domestic TV dramas.
Lin Dingqiang wanted to concentrate on watching the performance, but he really couldn't understand the jokes of foreigners, as if he was watching a canned play, so he could only focus on the hill behind the stage.
Huo Jinwei was looking energetic on the side, the smile on her face was secretly revealed from time to time, and she could also interact with the atmosphere of the scene.
Just when Lin Dingqiang was bored, his phone rang.
"Hey?" Lin Dingqiang picked up the phone, "What's the matter?"
The call was from Feng Xiaonan, who was already almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and said eagerly: "Chairman, we found that someone in the futures market is releasing goods, and the amount is huge. Shall we sweep a wave?"
Lin Ding cleared his throat, "What goods?"
"Oil. Feng Xiaonan replied: "And the current price has reached an all-time low, as long as we hold it, once it rebounds, we will definitely be able to make a profit." ”
Lin Dingqiang thought that Zero Point would achieve great results under the leadership of Feng Xiaonan, and oil was also a hard currency, "Okay, you can do it." ”
Feng Xiaonan said happily: "Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely earn the money back for you." ”
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jinwei asked curiously: "Ding Qiang, what's the matter?"
Feng Xiaonan said that the price of oil has fallen, and now you can make a profit. Lin Dingqiang smiled and said, "Come and ask me if I want to buy some." ”
"Is there such a good thing?" Huo Jinwei also took out her mobile phone, and after opening the APP for futures market trading, she saw that the price of a single barrel of oil had fallen to a record low.
Lin Dingqiang turned his head to look at the declining curve on the screen, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Huo Jinwei thought for a while, "Really, how much are you going to buy?"
"I usually don't ask Feng Xiaonan about her decision-making," Lin Dingqiang responded: "She is the absolute leader of Zero, and if I interfere too much, it will affect her prestige at Zero." Therefore, she usually discussed with Song Shu, and finally Song Shu looked at the liquidity and asked me to confirm. ”
"You, the chairman, are doing it easy. Huo Jinwei smiled: "I am out touring, and I don't have to worry about work at all." ”
"A boss who worries is not a good boss, but a good boss who gives employees good benefits!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Dingqiang's phone rang again. This time, though, the number didn't have a name.
After Lin Dingqiang picked up the phone, he said politely, "Hello?"
"Chairman Lin, I'm Luo Jun!" The man on the other end of the phone said excitedly, "Do you remember me?"
Lin Dingqiang searched hard for this name in his mind, and the man didn't answer for a long time when he saw Lin Dingqiang, "We met in Jincheng last time!"
"President Luo!" Lin Dingqiang remembered the time he saw the president of the Jincheng branch of Zhongguang Bank at the wine table, "Is there something wrong?"
Luo Jun said excitedly: "Now that crude oil futures have plummeted, if you can buy at this time, you will be able to see real money early tomorrow morning! Do you want to come to our bank to open an account? I will help you operate!"
Lin Dingqiang recalled the leaflet that he threw into the trash after the wine table that night, "President Luo, I'm abroad now!"
Luo Jun was silent for a while, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Lin Dingqiang thought for a while, "President Luo, do you think this will work? I really can't come back now, but I will send a subordinate to contact you, can I open an account in this way?"
"Of course you can!" Luo Jun responded briskly: "Then I'll wait for you!"
"Good. ”
Lin Dingqiang hung up the phone, and Huo Jinwei asked again, "President?"
"Yes, from Jincheng, we drank together last time. Lin Dingqiang was about to call Xi Tao and ask her to deal with this matter, "Just say that you want me to buy that oil financial management, I think about it, anyway, the construction of 400 acres of land in the capital is about to start, and you can't use all your own money to repair the house." It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to send him a favor, and when the time comes, you can find him a loan, and you can be a little smoother. ”
"How much of that financial management are you going to buy?" Huo Jinwei asked, "Or, how much are you going to give?"
"2 million. Lin Dingqiang said lightly: "Play." ”
Lin Dingqiang dialed Xi Tao's number, but as soon as he put the phone to his ear, there was another vibration, this time it was Xin Qing calling.
Huo Jinwei also saw the information on the screen, and Lin Dingqiang picked it up, "What's wrong?"
"Lao Lin, did Feng Xiaonan let you buy oil futures?" Xin Qing asked straight to the point.
"That's right!" Lin Dingqiang replied: "And the last time President Luo, he just called and said that he also wanted me to buy that financial management." ”
Xin Qing asked nervously, "Then did you agree?"
"I asked Feng Xiaonan to operate. Lin Dingqiang said slowly: "Governor Luo is going to let Xi Tao go over and take a look." ”
"Lao Lin, you can't buy this oil!" Xin Qing said anxiously.
Lin Dingqiang's heart tightened, "Why can't you buy it? Isn't it already at an all-time low?"
"You show Jinwei the current price. Xin Qing said bluntly: "The price is still falling!"
Lin Dingqiang said to Huo Jinwei: "Jinwei, look at the price. ”
Huo Jinwei turned on her mobile phone, and sure enough, the price of oil fell by more than 3 yuan compared to just now.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Lin Dingqiang puzzled: "We are buying the bottom now, and as long as it rebounds at that time, it will be all money." ”
"Now in the exchange, everyone is bearish," Xin Qing whispered: "You are buying now, aren't you wronged? Do you remember the trading rules I told you?"
Lin Dingqiang pondered for a while, "I remembered." ”
"Lao Lin, if you believe me, don't buy crude oil futures this time. Xin Qing instructed: "If you really wear the position, the loss will be all your money." ”
"Well, I believe you. Lin Dingqiang is actually not bad for money now, and responded directly: "I won't buy a penny this time." How can you be so sure?"
Xin Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, "You go and take a look at the notices issued by the six major banks in China." ”
Luo Jun's Zhongguang Bank does not belong to the Workers' and Peasants' China Business Exchange, and compared with these six, Zhongguang's volume is still a little smaller.
"What's wrong?" Lin Dingqiang said curiously: "I haven't watched the news recently. ”
"These six major banks issued an announcement at the same time, which roughly means that the signing and opening of the precious metals business will be stopped from tomorrow. Xin Qing said in detail: "Because the price fluctuations of precious metals in the international market are increasing, the risk of individual investors is also rising when they make investments. ”
Lin Dingqiang frowned, "It's all stopped?"
"That's right!" Xin Qing said with confidence: "From my personal point of view, it is obviously impossible for the six major banks to follow the same pace just because of the increased risk. But if you think about it, even the most secure precious metals have stopped, and the oil ......"
"You mean, futures are falling, but ......" Lin Dingqiang reacted immediately, but the words came to his lips, and he still couldn't speak.
Xin Qing smiled: "Yes, no matter what futures you buy now, such as gold, silver, or oil, it is not a wise choice. The optimal solution is ......"
"Beautiful knife!" the two said the answer in unison, Xin Qing smiled happily on the other end of the phone, and Lin Dingqiang also smiled.
Xin Qing coughed lightly twice, "You're so smart!"
Lin Ding rolled his throat, "I'll arrange it." Thank you. ”
"You're welcome. Xin Qing said politely: "Are you and Jinwei still in Brussels?"
"It's Waterloo!" Lin Dingqiang glanced up at the performance on the stage, then at the majestic lion on the hill, and quipped: "Fortunately, with your call, otherwise I would have broken Waterloo!"
"Lao Lin, if you don't worry about what I said. Xin Qing said briskly: "You can go to the bank street in Luxembourg next to it." I believe that these bankers and traders are also watching the futures and US knife markets at the moment. ”
Although Luxembourg is a small country in size, it is a financial empire, and its banking street is on a par with Wall Street in the United States.
"I said I believed you. Lin Dingqiang replied: "I'll tell Feng Xiaonan to stop first." ”
"Okay, stay in touch. ”
When Lin Dingqiang hung up the phone, he called Feng Xiaonan again, "Mr. Feng, suspend all work on the bottom oil." ”
Feng Xiaonan had already checked with Song Shu again how much liquidity he could use, and in the face of Lin Dingqiang's sudden call, the two of them were also confused.
"Chairman, didn't you do it?" Feng Xiaonan asked tentatively.
Lin Dingqiang responded: "Do it, but change the product." ”
"What?"
"You go and look at the American knife market. Lin Dingqiang calmed down and said slowly: "In addition, find out the announcement of the six major banks and read it carefully, and then tell me why I didn't do it." ”
Doodoo ......
"Xin Qing is indeed very powerful. Huo Jinwei said on the side: "Not only can you see through the laws of the market, but also a phone call can change what you have decided." ”
She said futures can't be bought. Lin Dingqiang replied: "Turn around and buy a knife." If I don't believe me, tell me to go to Luxembourg and have a look. ”
Huo Jinwei smiled: "Then are you going?"
Lin Dingqiang looked at the time, "Forget it, we still have to worry about it." Since Xin Qing said that futures can't be bought, there is no need to look at it. ”
Huo Jinwei nodded, "That's right, but do you want to call back that Governor Luo?"
Lin Dingqiang patted his head, "Yes, it's better to remind you a little about this matter." ”
"I don't think it's necessary to make it too clear. Huo Jinwei looked into the distance, "After all, people have their own rules, and it is not right for you to break them as a third party." You're questioning someone else's system. ”
"Then I'll say I can't buy it. Lin Dingqiang listened to Huo Jinwei's suggestion and laughed at himself: "It seems that I have to take out a loan to repair the house and find a new bank." ”
Huo Jinwei sneered and said, "If you don't dig such a big gold mine next to you, do you have to dig a well elsewhere to dig for cinders?" Tell me, how much does your 400 acres of land cost to invest?"
"You lend me a loan?" Lin Dingqiang raised his eyebrows and dialed Luo Jun's phone, "Then I really have to think about whether to find you a loan or not!"
