Chapter 824: Big Belly (Second Update)

Yes, be patient.

After the NASDAQ rose all the way to 2000 points from the beginning of April 98, the rise of technology stocks also seems to have reached a bottleneck, and the broader market index stabilized for less than two days, and began to turn around, and in just half a month, the NASDAQ has fallen by 10%. Now it seems that a break below 1800 is only a matter of time.

The Nasdaq's three-year rally has quadrupled from 520 points in the same period in '95, and many stock commentators and investors have shouted that the tech bubble is about to burst, and small and medium-sized investors in the market are panic-selling in this atmosphere, as if the bursting of the dot-com bubble is already imminent.

If Zhang Chen didn't know the madness of the future of the NASDAQ, he might also be a little weak-minded, think about it, the hundreds of IT companies listed on the NASDAQ are burning a lot of money, and only a handful can make a profit, PE more than 100 or even 300 abound, and the general investment law seems to have completely lost its effect on the NASDAQ.

Therefore, when someone stands up and lights this fuse, the collapse of the NASDAQ becomes inevitable.

The fuse is, of course, Microsoft's antitrust investigation, and the person who ignited this fuse is Warren Buffett, who is known as the god of stocks.

Warren Buffett's public speech at Berkshire Hathaway's annual investor conference dealt a blow to the Nasdaq.

In the face of many investors questioning Berkshire Hathaway's loss of returns due to its failure to intervene in the NASDAQ, Buffett initially responded: I only make investments that I can understand, but I can't understand the NASDAQ.

But these few words obviously could not calm the dissatisfaction of investors, and there was a direct conflict with Buffett at the investor conference.

Warren Buffett said in a fit of rage that anyone who has doubts about my investment strategy can always sell Berkshire Hathaway's stock, and in my opinion, the Nasdaq has gathered too much risk, and most of the companies there are scammers, which is a very botched Ponzi scheme.

The day after Warren Buffett's words came out, the Commerce Department happened to release the preliminary progress of Microsoft's antitrust investigation on the same day, and the Nasdaq fell by 5% on the same day。。。。。。

"Don't overmyth Warren Buffett. Zhang Chen waved his hand, let the crew who took the initiative to come over to help walk away, and flipped the fish that had just landed on the deck, "It's a pity." ”

After that, Zhang Chen took the hook off the fish's mouth, walked to the side of the boat with a fish weighing fifty or sixty pounds in both hands, and as soon as his hands were released, the big fish returned to the sea, wagged its tail, and quickly drilled into the depths of the sea.

"After so much effort, why did you let it go again?" asked Belrankfin puzzled.

Zhang Chen shrugged his shoulders, "What I just caught is a bluefin golden gun, and it's a female, but it's a pity that it's still underage, and it hasn't spawned, and it's only three years old at most." The bluefin golden gun can lay 10 million eggs a year, and if this juvenile is also caught and eaten, it will only become less and less in the future. ”

Blanciffen pondered: "What do you mean。。。。。。 ”

Zhang Chen patted Bellankefen on the shoulder and laughed: "I mean, there is still a one hundred and eighty pounds in the freezer that is being chilled, and I will let you see my craftsmanship in a while." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the center of the galley, a 20-square-meter boat, there is an island on which a bluefin tuna that has long lost signs of life and is 1.7 meters long.

Zhang Chen put a pair of rubber gloves on his hands, held a hacksaw, and sawed off the shark fin and tail of the bluefin golden gun. Then, with a crew member, he cut off the head of the fish weighing at least sixty or seventy pounds.

The bones of the bluefin golden gun are very hard, and only by finding the bone gap can the head of the fish be cut off smoothly. Zhang Chen was very lucky, a knife down, a little adjustment, then successfully found the position of the bone seam, the knife fell, the huge fish head rolled down on the island, the two chefs hurriedly moved the fish head away, for further processing.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chen still used this knife to separate the belly of the fish and the back of the fish along the midline of the fish's body, especially the meat on the back of the fish, which was close to the bone spurs, and it was more laborious to cut, but fortunately, the full set of knives here came from Dongying Kyoto, which was very sharp, and with a little force, the whole piece of fish meat was cut smoothly.

The knife fell, and soon, the whole fish turned into pieces of fish. After Zhang Chen cut the fish into pieces according to the parts, he used the blade to divide the fish skin and the fish meat, and then he took a heavy breath, took the towel handed by the chef, and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.

Frank Fen applauded with interest: "It's amazing, it looks like dancing, it's very rhythmic." ”

Zhang Chen smiled and picked a piece of belly meat closest to the head of the fish from the fish on the board: "This piece of meat is the belly we often eat, oh, it is called Toro in Dongying Restaurant." However, we'll eat this later, and try this first. ”

While speaking, Zhang Chen carefully cut the naked meat, which is the back of the fish, into half-centimeter-thick slices with a knife, took out a slice from it, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed it a few times, "Not bad, you can taste it too." With that, he took a plate and picked a few pieces with a kitchen knife and put them on the plate.

Dongying cuisine is very popular in the United States, whether it is the East Coast or the West Coast, there are quite high-end sushi restaurants, Belankefen is certainly no stranger to this, he picked up chopsticks in a decent manner, picked a little wasabi and spread it on the fish, dipped it in soy sauce, and put it in his mouth.

Zhang Chen shook his head: "You can try not to use seasoning, this fish has just been slaughtered for less than two hours, it is very fresh, there are too many seasonings, but it covers the umami of the ingredients themselves." ”

Frankfin wiped his mouth: "It's already very good, and it would be nice to have a glass of whiskey." ”

Zhang Chen smiled and lifted a bottle of champagne from the ice bucket, "Although the taste of MoΓ«t & Chandon is modest, it is best with sashimi, and it will not obscure the taste of the ingredients themselves." ”

Bellankefen took the champagne with a smile, poured a glass for himself and Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen cut two pieces of fish meat in different positions, and finally picked up the big belly: "This piece of toro, the quality is very good, you see, the frost here is very even, is it very similar to Kobe?"

Zhang Chen carefully cut this piece of meat into dozens of thick slices of sashimi with a light movement, and reminded Belrankfen: "Don't dip it in the seasoning, taste it." ”

Bellakfin picked up a slice of fish and put it in his mouth, feeling only a fleeting smell of fish, followed by a rich fat aroma.

"It's delicious, it's like the meat melts away when you put it on your tongue, and it's even more delicious than what you can eat in New York." Bellankefen gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Chen smiled: "We just ate the naked body first, then ate the two parts of the mid-abdomen, and finally ate the most flavorful and fattest belly. ”

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank: "The NASDAQ is only in the middle at best now, and it is not even naked, so it is a pity to eat it now." ”
