Chapter 183: Borrowing from usury
Located on the east side of Manhattan in New York City, this United Nations Headquarters building was built between 1949 and 1951 and overlooks the sparkling East River.
In mid-December, in the middle of the afternoon local time in the United States, four terrorists hijacked a passenger plane in an attempt to crash into the world's building, but for unknown reasons, the plane crashed in the eastern suburbs of New York City. This world-shattering event took place at a time when the land of China on the other side of the world was sleeping and quiet in the night.
Lin Dong got up early in the morning, he had the habit of watching the morning news, frying eggs in the kitchen, and listening to the announcer's report on TV.
"Blockbuster news, 13:11 local time ...... the United States"
When Lin Dong heard the news, he was stunned for a while, and then his body quickly ran out of the kitchen as if he had been shocked.
Oh, my God!
The hijacking happened close to the time of his phone call with Ms. Wen, who said on the phone that she was waiting for security in the waiting room. Lin Dong found that his heartbeat was beating ten times faster than usual, and he couldn't suppress it, he slid his phone away with trembling fingers, opened the call log, and dialed Wen Xinyao.
His breathing was heavy and short, and he only hoped that his worries and worries were superfluous, but Wen Xinyao's phone couldn't get through, and he couldn't get through after calling many times in a row. He paced back and forth in his home with restlessness on his left and left. In the news, the airliner crashed in the eastern suburbs of New York City, killing all the passengers in the cabin, and none of them were spared.
And at this moment, Wen Xinyao's phone couldn't get through, which made him feel more and more terrible the more he thought about it.
Damn, why not ask about the shift she was on!
No, I have to go to the United States, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die!
Lin Dong walked into the room and began to pack his bags. Through this incident, he suddenly discovered that Wen Xinyao's status in his heart was not just as simple as a partner, maybe a long time ago, he had a hazy good impression of her, but he never knew that this hazy good feeling had spread into ...... Loved!
He really wanted to slap himself a few times, Lisa, Chen Jia and Yang Ling, he already owed so many women. Right! The woman he should owe the most should be Gao Qian. Gao Qian loved him wholeheartedly and gave everything for him, and he not only messed with other women, but also loved others in his heart.
Lin Dong sighed again and again, knowing that he was sorry for many people, but how could he deceive himself with his true emotions!
When he packed his luggage, he suddenly found that he didn't even have a passport and couldn't leave the country at all.
He collapsed on the sofa in the living room, facing the ceiling on his back, and the smell of fried eggs came from the kitchen, and he didn't bother to turn off the fire.
He suddenly remembered that maybe Wen Xinyao's mobile phone was out of battery, why did the hateful Apple design such a product that could not replace the power supply, this is simply the biggest flaw on the body of an outstanding work of art. Lin Dong picked up his mobile phone, and was just about to try to call Wen Xinyao's mobile phone again, but the phone vibrate, and when he saw the name of the contact on the screen, he jumped up from the sofa happily.
"Hey, Mr. Wen, is that you......"
Lin Dong asked anxiously.
Wen Xinyao's laughter came from the phone, "Lin Dong, what's wrong with you, why are you calling me so much?" My phone is out of battery, and I forgot to bring a charger, I just bought a charger......" Wen Xinyao explained to Lin Dong in detail why the phone would be out of battery.
All this is no longer important to Lin Dong, the important thing is that the people he is worried about are safe.
"I woke up in the morning and saw the news that there were terrorists hijacking a passenger plane in the United States, so I ......"
"Are you worried about me?" Wen Xinyao changed her indifference and seriousness, and such a playful sentence came out of her mouth.
Lin Dong was silent for a moment and said, "Well, I'm worried about you." ”
Wen Xinyao was silent for a long time, and the two were silent. After a long time, Wen Xinyao took the lead and said, "Lin Dong, I have to be busy, hang up." ”
"Okay."
He hung up the phone, then rushed into the kitchen with his nose covered, turned off the fire, and dumped the eggs that had been roasted into black charcoal. I simply cleaned up the kitchen, quickly changed into formal clothes and went to the company. After entering the office, Cui Guangcai followed him into the office.
"Did you watch the news?" Cui Guangcai asked with a smile, reached out and touched the cigarette case that Lin Dong put on the desk, and unceremoniously pulled one out.
Lin Dong nodded, "Look, you want to talk about the American hijacking, right?" ”
Cui Guangcai took a puff of his cigarette and said leisurely: "Yes, Lao Mei is a sensation again this time." Hurry up and take a look on the Internet, the United States is now under martial law, and security guards and police can be seen everywhere in public places. ”
Lin Dong opened the webpage and typed a keyword into Google, and sure enough, as Cui Guangcai said, the United States is now immersed in grief throughout the country, and in order to prevent terrorists from doing evil again, all police forces have been dispatched, especially in New York City, where a sentry has been set up almost less than ten meters.
"Old Cui, can you still laugh?" Lin Dong was surprised when he saw Cui Guangcai's gloating look.
"Did any of us Chinese lose their lives on that plane, why are you sad?" Cui Guangcai replied.
"How do you know there are no Chinese?" Lin Dong asked puzzled.
Cui Guangcai took a puff of cigarette and began to teach his leader a lesson, "When you look at it, you just don't know how to watch the news, if this kind of thing happens, the news of our country will definitely tell you that there are no Chinese people injured or something, as soon as I saw the news this morning, I heard the announcer emphasize this point." ”
Lin Dong was ashamed, he was too worried about Wen Xinyao's comfort at that time, he lost his usual composure, and he missed such a key sentence, if he was as careful as Cui Guangcai, he wouldn't have to worry so much about Wen Xinyao.
"I remember that there is a company in the A-share market that is the leader in the production of safety equipment, and most of the company's orders are from Europe and the United States, Lao Cui, I can't remember the name of that company for a while, do you remember?" Lin Dong suddenly changed the subject.
Cui Guangcai saw that he had a serious face, he should have thought of something, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Lin, you are talking about the company Guoan Equipment, right?" ”
"Yes!" Lin Dong clapped his hands, "This is the company!" Lao Cui, you hurry up and assign the task and spend 100 million to buy national security equipment! ”
Cui Guangcai didn't understand Lin Dong's thoughts, and asked, "Mr. Lin, will it be too sudden?" ”
"You go and set it up, I'll tell you the reason when it's over." Lin Dong said with a smile.
Cui Guangcai didn't ask much, anyway, so far, the guy on the other side, who is two years younger than him, has never made a mistake in his decision-making. He got up and went to the office of the Asset Operations Department, gathered the Pawn Player, and assigned the task.
Cui Guangcai arranged everything, and with full doubts, he entered Lin Dong's office again.
"Assignment set?" Lin Dong asked.
"Well, don't worry, it's already been assigned." Cui Guangcai smiled, "Tell me the reason." ”
Lin Dong cleared his mind and said, "Do you remember the 911 incident? At that time, the whole country was in a panic, and the US stock market plummeted, but there was one category of stocks that rose against the market. Among them, the company called innr rose the most, and at the beginning of the opening after the 911 incident, the stock soared by more than 230 percent! This is not a common 'one-day tour' in our country, and the company's stock price has more than sixfold in a short period of time. ”
Lin Dong told Cui Guangcai about the general situation of the innr company, and Cui Guangcai figured out the situation of this company and understood why Lin Dong suddenly ordered the purchase of national security equipment. INNR is a company that is involved in the same field as national security equipment, which is to make security equipment.
In the aftermath of 911, demand for security equipment in the U.S. surged, leading to stocks like INNR being sought after by investors. Based on this calculation, although the purpose of the terrorists in this hijacking incident has not been achieved, it has also sounded the alarm for the United States, and in the same situation, Lin Dong expects that the national security equipment, which mainly produces security equipment for European and American countries, will increase significantly.
"Old Cui, come and have a look." Lin Dong called Cui Guangcai over and pointed to the screen on the computer, "Look, the weighing equipment has begun to rise." ”
"Alas, it's a pity that our A shares have a limit on the rise and fall, if we knew this, we should have speculated on US stocks as soon as possible, there is no limit on the rise and fall, then it is exciting!" Cui Guangcai said.
"Speculating in U.S. stocks has to stay up late. To tell you the truth, I am starting to prepare, the capital markets of European and American countries are more mature than ours, and our company should soon go to the European and American markets to practice their skills, and everyone will work much harder than now. ”
"Don't be afraid, as long as there is money to be made, who is afraid of hard work!"
……
Zhou Ming returned to Xizhou City, he stayed in a hotel, and as soon as he put his luggage, he called Zhang Qianfang. Zhang Qianfang saw that it was his number, and burst into hot tears with excitement.
"Dead man, why did you even turn off your phone when you were on a business trip?" Zhang Qianfang asked cryingly.
Zhou Ming's heart softened, "Alas, as soon as I got off the plane, my mobile phone was touched by thieves, and I returned to Xizhou City to reissue a mobile phone card." Qianfang, why are you crying? ”
"It's not all you!" Zhang Qianfang cried even more fiercely, "My husband already knows what happened between us, and he agreed to divorce me." Zhou Ming, what do you think? ”
Zhou Ming was shocked, Ni Jun knew that he had his wife, this is terrible, you must not let Ni Jun know that he is back, otherwise, Ni Jun will not hack him to death.
"Okay, it's good to leave." Zhou Ming said humbly.
"I want to see you, Zhou Ming, come to my house now." Zhang Qianfang said.
Zhou Ming's first reaction was that he couldn't go to her house anymore, in case he was met by Ni Juncai, it would be very troublesome, so he said: "Qianfang, let's see you at the hotel." ”
"Why? You know I don't like to go to that kind of place. Zhang Qianfang said.
Zhou Ming explained: "In the past, you were afraid of being seen by your husband, but now that he already knows about it and agrees to divorce you, what are you afraid of?" Come on, I don't want to go to your house, let's see you at the hotel. ”
Zhang Qianfang hesitated for a while and agreed.
"Tell me when you open the room."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qianfang sat in front of the dressing mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. She has obviously lost a lot of weight and lost a lot of weight, and she lives in trouble, resulting in her sallow complexion now, and her hair has not been washed, and she is entangled one by one.
She took off her clothes, went into the bathroom and took a shower, then changed into the most beautiful clothes, sprayed perfume, and put on a heavy makeup on her face to hide her ugly face, and then went out with her bag.
The stock price of Guobang shares has begun to fall sharply, and the unfavorable news not only came from the media, but even the company's executives came forward to say that several projects invested by the company died, which made matters worse, resulting in Guobang stocks being blocked on the falling limit almost every time they opened, and the trading volume shrank, and the trading volume was less than 100 hands.
Ni Juncai no longer has the funds in his hands to raise the stock price, and now he can only resign himself to fate and wait for the arrival of Guobang's stock to stop falling. He also said that he had nothing to do in the company, so he simply handed over the company to Zhang Defu to take care of, and he was bored in the apartment he bought for Li Xiaoman all day long, except for sleeping, he was in a daze.
Li Xiaoman was very dissatisfied with his current state, she didn't know what was wrong with him, and every time she asked, she would attract Ni Juncai's roaring and scolding. After a few times, Li Xiaoman moved back to the dormitory in a fit of anger. Ni Juncai was quiet alone.
He was so disappointed in women that he wished that all women would stay away from him.
Ten days later, Guobang stock finally stopped falling! The stock price has fallen from the highest 70s to the current 30s.
Zhang Defu called excitedly, "Mr. Ni, the country has stopped falling, and our spring is coming!" ”
Ni Juncai looked at the plate on the Internet, his wilted body suddenly seemed to be injected with vitality, he swept away the decadent state, shaved and bathed, polished the leather shoes covered with a layer of ash, strode out of the door with his leather bag, and drove straight to the company.
When Zhang Defu saw him come in, he followed him into the general manager's office.
"Mr. Ni......" Zhang Defu called him, choked up and speechless. The people in the company are panicked and turbulent, if he hadn't tried his best to appease, I'm afraid there would be few people left in Gaohong Private Equity now. These words, the pressure on his shoulders is no less than that of the boss Ni Juncai.
Ni Juncai hugged Zhang Defu, a subordinate who has followed him for many years, is much more reliable than a woman.
"Defoy, don't cry. Now we have something to do. Ni Juncai said in a deep voice.
Zhang Defu cried, and it took a long time to calm down, "Mr. Ni, it's good for you to come back, our company finally has a head." ”
Ni Juncai knew from Zhang Defu's extremely thin body how much pressure he had been under recently, and said with a smile: "Everything will pass soon." Defu, I looked at the disk of Guobang stocks, although it stopped falling, but because no big money dared to enter, most people are still waiting, so we need money. At this time, throwing 10 million into it will definitely attract many retail investors to come in. ”
Zhang Defu also thought so, and nodded, "But we really don't have any money, a few days ago, the landlord came to urge him to pay the rent, and I persuaded him to give him a little grace." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm looking for Wang Hai and Wan Yuan to go. Anyway, after making money, they are the ones who benefit the most, and this money should be paid by them. ”
Ni Juncai touched the phone on the table and dialed Wang Hai, and he didn't talk nonsense, and explained the purpose straight to the point.
When Wang Hai heard that he was asking for money again, he almost became angry, and scolded Ni Juncai on the phone, no matter what Ni Juncai said, he had no money to give him now. His company is about to hold a board meeting, and he is still trying to find a way to find money to temporarily make up for the gap of 100 million, where can he take care of his business.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Defu saw that Ni Juncai's face was ugly, and he knew that he had not been able to get money from Wang Hai.
Ni Juncai snuffed out the cigarette butt, "Don't be afraid!" He doesn't give money, Lao Tzu gets the money himself! "He had some connections in the bank, and he made a round of phone calls, but these acquaintances knew about his current situation, and he didn't have any collateral, so no one dared to lend him money.
When things came to an end, Ni Juncai had no choice but to think of borrowing usury. He calculated carefully, although the high interest rate is scary, but if the goods can be successfully shipped, he can still make a lot of money. He left the company, went home with two real estate certificates, and found Liu San, a famous loan shark in Xizhou City.
Liu San lives in a big villa in the suburbs, fat like a butcher, in the early years he was also a strong man, and he was also famous on the road in Xizhou City.
Ni Juncai drove to the front of Liu San's house, where Liu San was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. He sat down and waited for a while, and Liu San came over to greet him after practicing boxing.
Liu San has made a fortune over the years, and he looks kind and kind, and he thinks of it as if he is a Muller Buddha.
"Boss Ni, why do you have time to run away from me?" Liu San asked with a smile.
Ni Juncai said with a smile: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, third brother, you have to pull a brother." ”
"When you have a difficulty, you think of the third brother? Alas, who made the third brother the living bodhisattva who saves the suffering. Brother, let's talk about it, what difficulties have you encountered. ”
On this cold day, Liu San only wore a vest, revealing the fat flesh with white flowers and trembling on his shoulders, like shaved pigskin. Liu San wiped the sweat from his forehead, put on his clothes, collapsed on the recliner, and basked in the sun comfortably.
Ni Juncai said that he was going to borrow money, and if he didn't borrow money, who would come to him.
"Third brother, borrow 10 million from your brother."
Liu San closed his eyes, "Brother, I know a little bit about your situation, what if you can't get on yet?" ”
Ni Juncai was ready for a long time, and took out the real estate certificate of the house he bought for Li Xiaoman to live in, "This house is worth more than one million." ”
"Good! This house is interest, and after a month, you have to repay me the principal of 10 million, otherwise we will follow the rules of the road! Liu San opened his eyes, and the fierce light was revealed.
"Yes, yes......"
"Leave your account behind, and I'll arrange for someone to post it for you right away." Liu San said.
It is indeed much faster to borrow from a loan shark, but the price is 10 percent of the interest a month, and Ni Juncai has no way to get money from him now, otherwise he would not have come to borrow from a loan shark. However, when I think of this high interest, I still can't help but feel distressed.
