Chapter 162: Opportunity Before Dawn
Fang Yi did not continue to discuss with Li Sen about the listing of the companies of the Century Group, but changed the topic and said, "Li Sen, how are your operations recently?"
When Li Sen heard Fang Yi mention his work, he immediately put down his mood and said, Now the whole world financial market is relatively depressed, the bursting of the Internet bubble in Europe has not recovered, if you really want to say what to do, then only Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index still has some room for operation, in early October, when the Hang Seng Index rushed above 16,000 points again, I once again entered 2,000 hands of short orders, only 8 days, the Hang Seng Index fell again to the last low of about 14,500 yuan, net profit of 1,500 points, to achieve a profit of 150 million, Mr. Fang, you really don't know how easy it is to make this money, now the entire Hang Seng Index market is a unilateral market, as long as you wait for it to fluctuate and rise to a certain space, enter a short order, and then sit back and wait for it to fall to the previous low, close the position and collect money, and there is no need to do any research and analysis at all"
Li Sen said, operated a few times on his computer to pull out the recent trend chart of the Hang Seng Index and said, "Mr. Fang, look here, the current Hang Seng Index is shaking upwards again, and it has stood at 15,500 points today, and I will wait for it to reach 16,000 points again when it is short again, boss, it's so simple to make money."
Li Sen made money for the company, Fang Yi was also very happy, but now the money is just a number for him, and he needs to do something more meaningful and said, "Li Sen, do you remember when I told you that we were going to absorb their shares when the Internet bubble burst in Europe and the United States?"
Li Sen thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, boss, you told me about this at the beginning, but because it was too easy to make money during this time, you didn't think about anything else."
It was impossible for Fang Yi to blame the hero who made money for himself and said, The purpose of our investment company is to make money, to make money is also to prove your ability, when the company was established, although we set Peter as the general manager, but you are the investment director, in fact, the two of you are responsible for the business is still different, Peter is mainly responsible for equity investment, he will look for potential companies or start-ups for venture capital, that is, to be an angel investor, and your main battlefield is in the financial market, and the financial derivatives market, although the two are different, but also complement each other, for some of Peter's target enterprises, you can reach a certain strategic cooperation, first you will suppress the company's shares in the financial market, and then Peter will negotiate the investment, so that our investment cost is much lower, at least it can create a better entry condition for us."
Ruth whispered while translating, "Fang, wouldn't it be too insidious for what you are doing?", in fact, this is not insidious, these are just some commercial methods, but Fang Yi has never used it when he was in China, if the target is those white-skinned and blue-eyed Europeans, it is a different matter, because people have never treated the Chinese people as equals, and always think that the white race is the most noble race.
Fang Yi ignored Ruth's whisper and said, "Li Sen, the whole of Europe is still in the Internet bubble, but I don't think this time will be too long, I plan to let you and Peter split up in two ways, and in this darkest time when the dawn of the Internet is approaching, take down those Internet companies that are extremely underestimated at this stage at the smallest cost."
After hearing this, Li Sen asked, "Boss, which companies are we targeting?"
Fang Yi pointed to the computer, took the mouse, operated on the computer a few times, called up the data of Nasdaq technology stocks and said, "Apple, Google, Qualcomm, and Dell are our first step targets, you will study these companies in the past two days, and now the investment work of Peter and Tencent should be almost completed, and he can come back to complete this battle with you, if this battle is won, it should be enough for our Century Investment Company to show off for decades."
Li Sen looked at the Internet companies that were already famous when he was still at the Bank of Baring, for these companies, which he could not match as a regional trader at the beginning, who knew that today there was an opportunity to personally take them under the banner of his boss.
Li Sen began to check the company stocks designated by Fang Yi just now, Fang Yi didn't want to disturb his thinking, and beckoned to Ruth, the two came to the elevator room, Ruth asked, "Fang, where are we going?"
Fang Yi said, "Ruth, are you familiar with Hong Kong?"
Ruth got up for a moment and said, "If you want to say familiar, it's not particularly familiar, although this place was a colony of the British Empire three years ago, but now it is under the jurisdiction of Huaxia, I think you should be more familiar with it, after all, you Huaxia are the masters here."
Fang Yi said with a bitter face, "I'm embarrassed to say this, I've been to Hong Kong many times, every time it's a random walk, it's the damn language problem that restricts me, the people here either speak English or Cantonese, all of which are languages I don't understand, every time I encounter this problem, I don't have the mood to go shopping, when we first met, you said you wanted to stay in Hong Kong for a day, I think you should be familiar with this place"
Ruth smiled brightly and said, "If you can say it by this standard, I am really more familiar than you, I have two friends who study at the University of Hong Kong, sometimes I pass by Hong Kong, I will get together with them here, or let's go and play with them today."
Fang Yi listened and nodded, if he could have one or two friends in Hong Kong, it would definitely be a very pleasant thing.
The two took a taxi to the University of Hong Kong, Ruth contacted her friend when she was in the car, the two waited at the school gate for five minutes, two tall white beauties walked out, first came to Ruth for a veneer salute, and then looked at Fang Yi and said, "Ruth, is this your boyfriend?"
Ruth showed a rare shy expression and said, "Anna, don't talk nonsense, this is my friend, this time I came to Hong Kong at his invitation to come over to help him as a translator, its name is Fang Yi"
After greeting the two girls, Ruth introduced Fang Yi "Fang, this is my friend, this is Anna, this is Allen", after speaking, the two girls greeted Fang Yi in a more standard Chinese language, "Fang, hello, welcome to Hong Kong"
Hearing this, Fang Yi was a little awkward, is it good that the master here is good, how can there be a reason for the guests to welcome the host. Fang Yi looked at the two girls who were taller than him, and felt very stressed.
At this time, Ruth looked at the headphones hanging from the necks of the two girls and said, "Alan, when did you two buy this little C?"
Alan and Anna took out the little C and said, "We only bought it last week, Ruth, it's good that you're here, do you have to save the two of us?"
Ruth frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you two, why do you want me to save you, you two won't be in any trouble, right?"
Anna ran over and hugged Ruth's arm and said, "Ruth, you don't know how expensive this little one is, Alan and I saved a month last month, plus all the living expenses of this month to buy it, but although it is too expensive, but after using it, I feel that it is expensive or it is expensive, whether it is the design or the sound quality is the best, in short, it is still worthy of its price"
Ruth knew, it turned out that her two friends embezzled all their living expenses in order to buy Xiao C, but today she brought the main owner and said, "Do you know which company's product this little C is?"
Alan looked at her as if he was looking at Xiaobai and said, "Ruth, don't tell me that Huaxia doesn't sell this product yet, right?"
Ruth also took her little C and said, "How can I not sell it, you look at me, do you see, my little C is one of the first few little Cs in the world"
Anna said disdainfully, "Ruth, these things are all industrial products, even if they are produced in the same day, thousands of them will be produced, who knows who comes first and who comes last, you won't pay a high price for this, right?"
Ruth saw the contempt of her two best friends, which made her fragile vanity suffer a great blow and said, "Anna, this is my engineering machine of Little C, it is the first batch of prototypes made in the laboratory, and this Little C is a product of Century Technology, so do you know who this Fang Yi is?"
Alan and Anna had never seen Ruth have such a strange expression, the two looked at each other and shook their heads, at this time, Ruth was like a victorious little rooster, and said in a high position, "This Fang Yi is the big boss of Century Technology, so you know why I have Xiao C's engineering machine, do you remember that I sent you a message to talk about this when Little C was not released?
At this time, Alan and Anna both looked at Fang Yi together, with more admiration in their eyes, Alan stretched out his hand and said with a little stammer, "Mr. Fang, hello, I'm Alan"
Originally, Fang Yi came to make friends, if it was in such a relationship, there would be no way for this friend to make it and said, "Hello, I'm Fang Yi, the little C in your hand is launched by my company, but there is no fuss, it's just an electronic product, next year we will also launch a new small C2, just now you said that my little C caused you to lose your living expenses, two beautiful ladies, can I invite you to lunch together?" , Saying that, Fang Yi also politely made a Western gentleman's courtesy.
Seeing Fang Yi's somewhat funny expression, the three girls burst out laughing at the same time, and the scene with the smell of gunpowder just now suddenly disappeared, and Ruth said, "Alan, Anna, what do you two want to eat?"
"Beef, snowflake beef," the two said in unison.
