Chapter 628: Oranges and Shorting

Wangquan Mountain is located in the northwest of the capital, and many retired patriarchs live there.

As a retired patriarch, Fang Lao usually likes to write calligraphy and occasionally paint a few landscape paintings.

At this time, Fang Lao was standing in front of the desk, with a pair of characters on the left hand, and he was holding a pen in his right hand to copy the words on the left, engrossed, with a steady and powerful wrist, and he couldn't tell that he was an old man.

Next to Fang Lao's table, stood the white-faced middle-aged man who had just returned from the Beijing Public Security Bureau, and he waited quietly.

Fang Lao slowly finished writing the four words "Fushou Shuangquan", stared at his own words for a long time, and then looked at what others had written, sighed lightly, and said, "Xiao Duan, you compare these two words." ”

Secretary Duan walked over, looked at it carefully, and said: "Compared with the exquisiteness of the words, yours is a little worse, but compared to the momentum, than the vigorous, the other party is obviously inferior to you, your words look atmospheric." ”

How do you know that Fang Lao said angrily: "Xingshu pays attention to flowing water, what kind of momentum is it like?" Guess how old the owner of the one on the left is. ”

Secretary Duan said in surprise: "Mr. Fang, you attended the calligraphers' gathering of the Calligraphy Association yesterday, and when you came back, you shouted that you snatched a good pair of characters from Xiao Wang and Mr. Wang, and instructed us not to allow Mr. Wang to enter the door to take this character within half a year, have you forgotten?" ”

"I'm asking you to guess, how old is the person who wrote this picture, if Xiao Wang wrote it, can I use your guess?" Fang Lao continued to stare at the letter.

Secretary Duan's service room has been old for many years, and he has deliberately learned to appreciate calligraphy and painting, and when he looked at this character carefully, he sighed lightly and said: "Look at this first word, the pen is sharp, it seems to be a young man." But the second word is much more convergent. To the third word. This word becomes the climate, and the fourth word has the grandmaster style. This can't be written without sixty or seventy years of fire. ”

"Hmph, look away, right? The man who wrote this was in his early twenties! Xiao Wang deliberately brought this painting to the party, saying that he had just met a genius little brother, and he was better at writing books than him. We kept asking who it was, but he wouldn't say it. Before leaving. I took off this painting and ran, I don't care whose it is, let me cover it for half a year first. Fang Laowei smiled.

Secretary Duan wanted to roll his eyes, it was hard to imagine the scene of a retired patriarch snatching things in front of so many people and running away, it was really embarrassing, but Fang Lao was still a little proud.

Secretary Duan coughed lightly and said, "Old Fang, I went to the police station, but I found that things were different from before, so I called and asked others again." Tell me a little bit more about it, it's up to you. ”

"Say." Fang Lao listened to Secretary Duan talk about Fang Tianfeng and Xiang's family. While slowly copying the words of the unknown calligrapher.

From beginning to end, Fang Lao did not say a word, and his attitude was completely different from that of talking about calligraphy.

It's just that Fang Lao's words are worse than the other.

After Secretary Duan finished speaking, Fang Lao's hand stopped in mid-air.

"I see." After speaking, Fang Lao continued to practice calligraphy, as if nothing had happened.

After a long time, Fang Lao sighed lightly and asked, "Did Xiang Zhili really hire a murderer?" Does Xiao Xiang know? ”

"There will be no problems with the intelligence of the military and national security. According to my guess, Xiang Lao acquiesced in Xiang Zhili's practice. ”

"With my relationship with Xiao Xiang, it doesn't hurt to be used by him once, but he's confused!"

The study was quiet, only the sound of the old man writing.

In the interrogation room of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, all the police officers carefully made notes, for fear of angering Fang Tianfeng, because they all knew that this suspect was angry and not easy to provoke.

After making the record, Deputy Director Cai immediately shook hands with Fang Tianfeng, thanking Fang Tianfeng for cooperating with the police, and his attitude was more enthusiastic than that of the victim.

Fang Tianfeng walked out of the interrogation room, while Director Cao had already changed into civilian clothes and was waiting outside.

"Mr. Fang has finished taking notes?" Director Cao said with a smile.

"Hmm. Deputy Director Cai will also come along, anyway, it is Prince Seid, who is a real tyrant. Although Fang Tianfeng was unhappy because Li Yong and Ai Zijian wanted to forcibly occupy the water plant, he didn't show it too much at this time.

"Good. Xiao Cai, come along. Director Cao said with a smile.

"Then I'll go change my clothes, and I'll be there shortly." Deputy Director Cai trotted away.

Fang Tianfeng and Director Cao walked out of the city bureau together, and they didn't know who shouted, everyone hulala came up and asked for warmth.

Ning Youlan and An Tiantian are also there.

Fang Tianfeng didn't expect these people to be so enthusiastic, so he said it was a misunderstanding, so that everyone didn't have to worry.

Prince Said first gave Fang Tianfeng a warm hug, and then said that he had booked a large private room at the Beijing International Hotel, in order to thank Fang Tianfeng and to celebrate his escape.

Fang Tianfeng was not interested in this luncheon, what he really cared about was how to bring down Li Yong and Daoqiang Company, and when the case in the capital was closed, he would go back to Dongjiang to solve the scourge of the Ai family.

However, Fang Tianfeng still went to the hotel with everyone to eat.

The atmosphere of the luncheon was excellent, everyone chatted very happily, and some people said that they must buy some after learning that Fang Tianfeng was the owner of Youyun Lingquan.

Prince Seid is a more outgoing and lively person, and although he is over thirty years old, he looks like he is in his twenties. At the banquet, he expressed his gratitude many times, and said that he would designate the Yunyun Lingquan as the exclusive drinking water for the Anguo royal family, and said that if Fang Tianfeng's branch was opened in Anguo, he would personally advertise Fang Tianfeng.

During the banquet, after Prince Said learned that Fang Tianfeng was unmarried, he also said that in two years, when his sister became an adult, he would marry his sister to Fang Tianfeng.

As soon as these words came out, many people present were envious, because the beauty of the little princess of Anguo is world-famous, known as the first princess of the royal family, and there were some photos of the little princess of Anguo on the Internet, which attracted countless praises. Especially when I saw the photos of the little princess of Anguo when she was a child, countless people shouted that she was dead.

Prince Said said that he didn't dare to go to Dongjiang now, but he would definitely go after a while, and invited Fang Tianfeng to Anguo as a guest.

Because everyone had been chatting, the banquet did not end until noon until 7 p.m., and everyone exchanged business cards or contact information before leaving.

After dinner, Fang Tianfeng returned to the villa with Ning Youlan and An Tiantian.

He Changxiong was waiting in the living room, Ning Youlan and An Tiantian went upstairs to take a shower and fell asleep, the things on the plane were too thrilling, and the two of them had been worried about Fang Tianfeng all day, and they were mentally exhausted.

Fang Tianfeng and He Changxiong went to the study and used the computer to check the contents on the USB disk.

He Changxiong was on the side, and found that Fang Tianfeng's speed of reading the information had exceeded ten lines at a glance, turning a page in a second, without pausing at all.

He Changxiong was calm on the surface, but in his heart he secretly said that Fang Tianfeng was indeed a pervert.

After reading all the information about Li Yong and Daoqiang Company, Fang Tianfeng closed his eyes, leaned on the back of his chair and thought, looking for the weaknesses of Daoqiang Company.

After a while, Fang Tianfeng suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "Daoqiang is listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, if Daoqiang Company has a serious problem and the stock price of Daoqiang plummets, we know in advance, we can make money, right?" ”

"Yes, Nasdaq stock can be shorted." He Changxiong said.

"I haven't studied the stock market, what is the equivalent of shorting, you can give an example that I can understand." Fang Tianfeng said.

He Changxiong thought for a moment and said: "For example, now that oranges are ten yuan a catty, I think the price of oranges will fall in the future, and some people think that the price of oranges will rise in the future, so I will borrow a pound of oranges from him and say that I will give him a pound of oranges in two days." I borrowed the oranges today and sold them for ten dollars. Two days later, the price of oranges dropped dramatically, becoming five yuan a catty, and I bought a pound of oranges for five yuan to return to that person. Then, I am equivalent to making five yuan, which is the success of shorting. However, if the price of oranges rises two days later, for example, to 12 yuan a catty, then I will spend 12 yuan to buy oranges and return them to him, lose 2 yuan, and fail to short. Do you understand this? ”

"I guess I understand. But is anyone really willing to lend you that pound of oranges? Fang Tianfeng asked.

"There are many such companies in the United States, such as Merrill Lynch, which was very famous in the subprime mortgage crisis, but it was later acquired by the United States Bank. And there are a lot of companies in the United States that mainly play short. A while ago, there was a rice fund that wanted to short the shares of the 365 company that was browsed by the antivirus, and the short failed to do so. And the success, do you know John Paulson? ”

"I don't know." Fang Tianfeng shook his head and said.

"John Paulson is a billionaire who is famous for shorting, and he shorted during the subprime mortgage crisis and made almost $8 billion! Of course, after deducting various expenses, there must not be so much to go. I don't know how much money Paulson has now, but three years ago, he was ranked 45th on the world's richest list, and I read a biography of him called "The Greatest Trader." His nickname is Wall Street Hollow God, the first person in hedge funds, and his shorting level is very powerful. Even Soros and others back then were far inferior to him. ”

Fang Tianfeng nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You should have a way to short a stock in the United States, right?" ”

He Changxiong looked at Fang Tianfeng hesitantly and said, "There is a way, there is a way, but it is very troublesome, and all kinds of handling fees and taxes will be very high, but this is not a problem." The problem is that I don't know much about the U.S. stock market, so I don't know what stocks are going to fall, so I can't go short. ”

Fang Tianfeng smiled indifferently and said, "I'm responsible for making the stock of Daoqiang Company plummet, and you are responsible for shorting, how about it?" ”

He Changxiong's eyes lit up, and it was the eyes of a predator that only after smelling the smell of food.

"What can you do to make the stock plummet? Although I don't pay attention to NASDAQ technology stocks, I also know that Daoqiang's business is thriving, and it has the potential to become the fourth largest Internet company. At least for the next two years, the stocks that lead the way will only rise, not fall. ”

Fang Tianfeng said: "I didn't know if it would fall, but after reading your information, I am sure that in the near future, Daoqiang Company will suffer irreparable losses, and its market value will plummet wildly." ”

"Do you really want to do something to Daoqiang?" He Changxiong showed a worried look, not to mention him, even if the entire He family was desperate, he might not be able to get the Daoqiang company, and there were people from the top ten families behind Daoqiang.

"Well, I just think I'm not satisfied with just defeating Daoqiang and Li Yong, and I want to make a little money by the way, so I'm looking for you." Fang Tianfeng said. (To be continued......)
