It was found that the domestic time was still at night.

Fan Liancheng asked people to help investigate this "Raffles Shipping" company, and found the information in more than ten minutes, it is currently a foreign company 100% controlled by Singapore capital, mainly engaged in oil tankers, drilling platforms, etc., and it is no wonder that CIMC will target it.

Superyachts, like other luxury goods, are just as important as their origins, but as long as they are similar in performance and quality, he would be happy to talk to the shipyard if he could save some money.

As early as when he was just in college, Fan Liancheng heard the professor talk about it in class.

It is said that mainland entrepreneurs and workers always have a kind of magic to push down the prices of certain goods, and then turn around and fight other companies until they cannot survive, such as all kinds of household appliances and all kinds of daily necessities.

He thought that anyway, most of the European shipyards were also integrating countless parts and components to make a ship, and the labor cost was too high in the later stage, so it might be possible to save a lot of money and buy things of the same quality if they were manufactured in the mainland.

In addition, there are many businesses in the mainland, and it is appropriate to deduct some taxes, so I plan to contact Raffles first to understand and then decide where to spend the money.

......

The majority of the shares in this historic London Langham Hotel are owned by Dragon City.

At that time, Zhou Qi was working in the hotel, and when Fan Liancheng decided to sell the house next to Hyde Park, he moved a lot of clothes, watches, etc., all into the hotel.

Five-star old hotel, with a customer storage of expensive items of the insurance room, just remember this incident, Fan Liancheng simply eat some things, go to the watch cufflinks and the like to take out, ready to return to China to bring back, some Omega, IWC and other ordinary models, casually given to the bodyguards, as a New Year's gift in advance.

Lao Feng got a piece of Omega Butterfly Fly, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he repeatedly said that he was breaking the fee.

If it weren't for the hotel manager's mention, Fan Liancheng almost forgot that he had these things, and ended up leaving only a few more expensive-looking watches, including a Patek Philippe Nautilus with a diamond-encrusted gold case.

Buying people's hearts is different from being wronged, he is willing to send it out, but he is too much.

After taking a shower, I changed to this Patek Philippe Nautilus, and on the way out, I received a text message from Song Fuxiang, which said that Wall Street Bear Stearns Company suddenly announced that it had suffered serious losses in the first quarter of this year, and the loss could be as high as 400 million US dollars, and there were even rumors that the credit rating would be lowered in the short term.

Without a computer at hand, Fan Liancheng sat in the co-pilot seat of the white Bentley Continental in front of him, and called back and asked: "The news announced by the company itself deliberately chose this kind of weekend, and the stock price will definitely fall miserably when the market opens on Monday, and the 2.5 billion short-term debt funds raised by Bear Stearns at the end of September are estimated to not last long, and if the situation deteriorates, then continue to increase positions." ”

“...... It is estimated that there is no way to increase it, there are too many funds to short it, with a total size of nearly 1.6 billion US dollars, and I doubt that there will be any brokerages that will take orders. ”

Short listed companies, the approximate steps refer to the expectation that the stock price will fall, first borrow the stock from the brokerage and then sell it, bet on the future stock price plummeting, and then buy the same stock from the market to make up for it, from which to earn the difference, if you mess up, you have to pay your own money to make up, if the brokerage has no shares, it is of course difficult to operate.

Even if Fan Liancheng himself is one of the speculators who are bearish on Bear Stearns, he can't help but be staggered by the scale of this short position.

He said to Song Fuxiang: "No wonder they are all dying and not saving, a bunch of crocodiles are ready to kill each other? ”

"Yes, I heard through the grapevine that the CEO of Bear Stearns is going to leave his job, and guess how much his salary will be in three years? $87 million! The managers of the two subprime mortgage funds who were forced to leave and took away more than $90 million!"

"I'm dripping the sky, and pies are going to fall from the sky?"

Fan Liancheng understands that the company can't afford to suffer a big setback now, and the two executives have caused countless people to lose so much money, and this kind of news is often worse than poor performance, which will make shareholders and investors angry, which is enough to boil down to "serious management risks".

Even if the performance is good, dare to take so much money if the performance is not good, even Song Fuxiang heard the news, and it is estimated that it will be exposed sooner or later, which is enough to make the Bear Stearns company on the cusp of the storm drink a pot, so Fan Liancheng said that pie is going to fall from the sky, and it is estimated that it is still pure gold pie.

The other end of the phone.

Song Fuxiang smiled in his tone: "Yes, it's a pity that some warehouses have been withdrawn, I knew that I should wait." Now let's see if it can be shocked again in the near future, once it spreads to Hong Kong City, it will make a big profit.

The deficit in the first quarter of this year was so high, and the second and third quarters will only be worse. ”

Knowing that it was difficult to buy, Fan Liancheng also regretted it a little, and asked Song Fuxiang to continue to short the Hang Seng Index, with slightly higher leverage.

After a short exchange, the car was already driving next to Hyde Park, and Fan Liancheng's duplex apartment could be seen.

Since the beginning of this year, the property market in Europe and the United States has been sluggish, and the transaction volume of high-priced houses has decreased.

If he really wants to live in the UK, Fan Liancheng would prefer to buy a manor house with a large plot of land around London, or go to the quiet and comfortable Kensington Palace Garden Street, where he is indifferent to the house and just wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Within minutes, I arrived at Imperial College.

Everything is still the same, familiar flower shops, familiar small buildings.

Zhao Sturgeon, who was driving, knew the road and parked directly at the door of the café with "Barton Coffee", and there were many customers in the COSTA chain café next to it, and there was only one customer in this store, and it was forced to decline.

In the past, Fan Liancheng was mostly gloating, but now looking back, the old shopkeeper is actually a poor person, and he has tossed himself to the point where he has nothing but small buildings and shops by virtue of his stinky temper.

Get out of the car and push the door open, and the familiar bell sounds.

The only customer in the store is called Adrian, an international student from France, and Fan Liancheng knows him.

In the first half of the year, when Zhao Sturgeon and others came to this store to look for Fan Liancheng, Adrian was also there, and at this moment he looked at Fan Liancheng, smiled and said, "I haven't seen you recently, where have you been?" Long time no see, Dylan. ”

The voice was flat and bland, the two couldn't be called friends, they just knew each other.

Fan Liancheng replied: "Take a leave of absence and go home, Demon Capital." Just came back in the morning and will leave in two days, I thought that after you rented Barton's house, you wouldn't come here again for coffee, it should be cheaper next to it. ”

"I'm used to drinking, and it's noisy when there are a lot of people. ”

After Adrian finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to write something, as an international student, as long as he does not stay in the UK for a long time, friends, teachers and others will be estranged in the future, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing that the former boss was watching TV, Fan Liancheng knocked on the counter unceremoniously: "Give me all the medium-roasted Mandheling, the ground powder, and the medium-roasted Colombian coffee beans, and the dark roast will also be asked for together, give me all the inventory." ”

The old shopkeeper named Patton looked at him, and did not remember the "old feelings" at all, but felt that it was wise to dismiss him, otherwise the business would have been small, and he would have to pay him a salary.

After looking up and down, he said, "Do you want to be a waiter in a restaurant?" or a salesman?"

“...... Sell the house. Pack the beans and sell them to me, give me a glass of mandheling with ice drops, don't fool me like other guests, I know the price very well. ”

Fan Liancheng pulled up a stool and sat down.

Zhao Sturgeon was smoking outside and did not plan to come in.

"Ice drops didn't do, trouble. The coffee beans are all sold to you, even for seventy-five pounds. ”

"Okay, find a bag and put it in it. ”

I dug into my pockets and found that I didn't exchange pounds, Britain joined the European Union, but not the euro system, went out to find a hotel driver to exchange some money, and soon left with a few bags of roasted coffee beans.

Buying coffee beans is the same as buying tea for tea lovers, whether it is expensive or not, besides, liking is more important.

I put the kraft paper bag in the car and walked into the campus for a walk, thinking it would be fun, but in fact I just felt that things were wrong, and I ended up disappointed......

Throw a small party that night.

The number of participants was small, and there were more than 20 people who knew and didn't know each other, and many of their old classmates from London had been scattered all over the world.

Fan Liancheng is still the same, someone will talk a few words, and more often sit there and listen to them chat.

Feng Dafa is not good at English, it is rare to be silent, and he left with Fan Liancheng before nine o'clock, Fan Liancheng took him to the Parliament Building, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and other places to go around, and took pictures at each place, which is regarded as proof that he has come.

Fan Liancheng arranged a plane before the afternoon of the next day, and asked the Yuntong company to send a business plane to take the old Gulfstream V and fly directly back to the magic capital.

————————

Wealthy people often have a lot of free time at their disposal, and then they find that the world is quite small, even if it spans half the world, it only takes more than ten hours.

I woke up from sleep, finished eating, watched a movie, and got off the plane and was already in the magic capital.

Lao Feng praised the trip for being worthwhile, and even the idea of making up for English came up, Fan Liancheng didn't care, and asked him to apply for more visas, so as not to go next time he had the opportunity to go.

He took his casino passport, visa-free for more than 100 countries and regions, checked the pass from the airport, and went home to rest.

I came back earlier than expected, mainly because I was thinking about going out to travel, but after I really went out, I found that it was not as fun as I imagined, there were too many things, and it was difficult to calm down and visit seriously.

Take the car to the villa next to the golf course, let the aunt help make a cup of tea, lie on the sofa and laze watching TV.

There was no other arrangement for the big night, just episode after episode, and it was only at four o'clock in the morning local time that I felt a little sleepy.

U.S. stocks closed sharply, the Dow Jones index was dragged down, falling nearly two points, ninety percent of the stock prices of companies in the financial sector fell, and Bear Stearns' market value fell seven points.

Hong Kong stocks have fallen before, and a small fluctuation has brought a total of more than 9 million US dollars to Fan Liancheng.

In this unpretentious quiet night, he cooked a bowl of snail noodles for himself, and the smell directly smoked Han Xiaowen's fat cat away......
