After Austin returned to the living room, he walked up to Li Chenghua and whispered a few words.

Then I saw Li Chenghua with his son-in-law and walked to the door of the study.

Then, Li Chenghua knocked on the door of the study, then reached out and opened the door of the study, poked his head in, and asked with a smile: "Two old men, can you please play chess in another place?" ”

After a while, Mr. Li and Mr. Peng walked out of the study with halfway through the chessboard and unhappy faces.

"You kid, such a big house, why can't you talk about things? You're going to bother us! "Old man Li's chess board in this game is quite good, so he was interrupted by his own son like this, can he not show his son.

Just at the moment when Old Man Li was chattering about Li Chenghua and looking away-

I saw that Old Man Peng, an old fairy-like figure who has always felt like a fairy, actually sneaked away two chess pieces in a hurry at this moment, and then stuffed the two chess pieces into his pocket as if nothing happened.

Pei Pei, who happened to see this scene, had that expression

And when he found that his own apprentice saw this childish act just now, Old Man Peng secretly glared at his apprentice.

Receiving the master's eyes, what else can Pei Pei do? Debunked? Unless she wants to be picked up by her own master early in the morning on the first day of the new year, and then in the name of acceptance of kung fu, she will be "loosened up" by the master and his old man!

As a result, Pei Pei's expression instantly returned to normal! Then he looked at the old lady and asked, "Grandma." What about Mommy? Are you busy cooking in the kitchen? I'm going to help her, too."

As she spoke, the ghostly Pei Pei got up from the sofa casually, and then walked in the direction of the kitchen

————————————————————

On the other hand, after Li Chenghua finally got rid of the two old men, he walked into the study with his son-in-law Austin, and after closing the study door, the two Weng and son-in-law began to talk secretly-

"Austin, judging by your experience, do you think it's the right time for Kangmei to go public now? Will the stock price be affected? Li Chenghua, who is the old man, has an expression and demeanor after entering the study. There is no longer the relaxed and natural look of the living room just now. On the contrary, it looks extremely cautious and strict.

Regarding the news that the U.S. housing market may collapse, because of the timely report of Peipei's intimate daughter, Li Chenghua also had to know this inside information early.

As soon as he learned of this inside information, Li Chenghua's first reaction was to worry about whether the plan that had been set for Kangmei's listing in mid-March 08 would be affected by the overall market. Therefore. He was anxious to consult with his son-in-law. I want my son-in-law to give a professional advice - is the plan for Kangmei's listing to be postponed for a period of time.

After Li Chenghua finished asking that sentence. He walked over to his desk and sat down. Then he took out a box of cigars from the drawer, and after taking out one himself and lit it, he handed both the humidor and the lighter to his son-in-law, Austin, who was sitting opposite.

Austin smiled and took the cigar and lighter from his father-in-law. After leisurely lighting a cigar for himself, he put the humidor and lighter on his desk.

Then, Austin chuckled at the old man with a natural face: "Now is the wrong time, so when do you think the time is right?" Do you have to wait until the housing market really collapses? The entire U.S. stock market will surely collapse by then! If you don't adjust it for a year or two, the stock market will definitely not improve! ”

After a pause, Austin shrugged his shoulders at his father-in-law and said, "So I think it's better to take advantage of the fact that before this situation officially breaks out, and the stock market is still in a good situation, the sooner the IPO is listed, the better!" Moreover, the IPO was issued earlier, judging from the current Dow Jones index, Kangmei's issue price can also be higher at this stage! ”

After Li Chenghua lowered his head and pondered for a while, he flicked the cigarette ash in his hand, looked at his son-in-law and asked, "How long do you think the subprime mortgage crisis can drag on before it officially breaks out?" ”

Austin rubbed his chin and filtered his words, but did not answer his father-in-law directly, but smiled suggestively: "At present, in addition to the initiators of the game, the government and the 'two houses', there are also the four major investment banks in the United States and other major chaebols, such as the fifth largest investment bank 'Lehman Brothers', one of the world's top 500 companies 'Bear Stearns', 'Wells Fargo', 'Ocala National Bank (Ocala)', ' Washington-Mutual-Inc.', 'United Bank (also known as Wahovia Bank)' and many others! At present, the news of the possible collapse of the housing market has only aroused the alarm of some chaebol leaders on a small scale, but when it comes to how to solve and deal with this crisis, it is like an old game of you Chinese, I remember that the name of that game is 'drumming and passing flowers'! All of us in the participants know that once the drums stop—"

At this point, Austin made a "bang" mouth gesture to his old man, combined with an explosive gesture, and then chuckled to himself.

After laughing for a while, Austin found that his sense of humor was not recognized by his father-in-law, so he had to shrug his shoulders and withdraw his laughter, then straighten his face and continue to speak: "So, no one wants the drum to stop before this 'flower' in his hand is handed out!" And before handing out the 'flower', the 'flower' must be packaged more beautifully and attractively, and the bees who attract the flower will willingly circle around the flower. ”

Austin flicked the cigarette ash in his hand as he spoke, then changed his leg and cocked it again, looking at the old man and continuing to explain: "Capital is greedy, everyone knows that the flower that is taken is risky, but everyone feels that they will not be the last to take over." Therefore. Before the redemption period of the bonds, none of these old European and American chaebols with a large number of bonds in their hands will hope that the drums will stop, but will work together to make this flowery shape shì longer for a longer time. Therefore, in my judgment, Kangmei is facing the premise of the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the future, or it will simply shelve the entire listing plan, endure it for two or three years, and wait for the domestic situation to recover. and then relaunch the go-to-market plan. Either that, the sooner the IPO is listed, the better! ”

Li Chenghua couldn't help but nod after listening.

Austin smiled and said: "Kangmei is a listed company in the health care category after all. It is not in the same section as the real estate category, and if the subprime mortgage crisis really breaks out, even if it is affected by the overall market, the decline will not be too outrageous. And. We got the news beforehand. You can also take this opportunity to short the index! In my opinion. Any crisis, if well managed, can turn into a great opportunity! What do you say, Watson? ”

Li Chenghua heard his son-in-law's rational analysis. The complexion has become much better-looking.

After taking a deep puff on his cigar, he said quietly: "Actually, I'm not worried that Kangmei will not survive the future stock market crisis, but"

Li Chenghua suddenly sighed, looked at his son-in-law and explained: "Ever since I learned this news from Pell, I have been worried about Chinese mainland!" Austin, as you know, my family immigrated to the United States from Hong Kong in '95, and there are still many relatives living and working there in Hong Kong. Alas~~~~~~ my brother-in-law is a senior executive in Hong Kong's local bank, Wing Lung Bank, and I learned from him that since the previous year, Lehman has issued a large number of mini-bonds in Hong Kong, and according to statistics, Lehman has absorbed nearly 11.2 billion Hong Kong dollars from Hong Kong! ”

After a pause, Li Chenghua's expression became heavy again, "Transfer the risk!" Pass on the risk! Alas~~~~~ I'm now sure that Lehman's issuance of this minibond in Hong Kong is a step in transferring risk to Asia, and it has been successful! In addition, I also asked my brother-in-law to learn about a series of financial actions of several other major investment banks in the United States in Asia in the recent period, and there is news that Goldman Sachs Bank and China's state-owned enterprise, PetroChina, are currently negotiating an international crude oil VAM agreement! I'm worried that the eyes of these Wall Street vipers have shifted their eyes from European countries and begun to focus on China, which is currently developing rapidly! (See Note)

Austin, one of the poisonous snakes on Wall Street, had no choice but to bow his head and touch his nose when he heard his father-in-law's comment that he overturned a boatload of people with one rod.

And the old man is just sighing alone at this time, in the final analysis, this old man in Austin, in essence, is still a qualified capitalist!

Therefore, after making some sighs about the future economy of Hong Kong and even Chinese mainland, Li Chenghua looked up at his son-in-law with burning eyes and asked: "By the way, you say, is there any opportunity for us to grasp it?" ”

Austin rubbed his chin and said with a light smile: "If you are bolder, you can seize the opportunity to bet on the dollar and crude oil with Goldman Sachs, but I don't think so, I do think that you can invest idle funds in the gold market at the right opportunity, after all, once the crisis breaks out, gold, as the best hedging tool, will definitely usher in a big rise!" ”

Li Chenghua couldn't help but nodded.

After a secret conversation, Weng and his son-in-law walked out of the study as usual.

That night, after an authentic Cantonese family dinner, the whole family gathered at the private beach in the backyard, where Ash and Hao were in charge of lighting the fireworks, and behind them, the family watched the fireworks in the sky with laughter and welcome the arrival of the new year (to be continued......

PS: Note: Lehman Brothers' issuance of minibonds in Hong Kong is true information, as for the crude oil VAM agreement between Goldman Sachs and PetroChina, anyway, after the outbreak of the financial turmoil, China Steaming Rotting had an urgent refutation of rumors at the time, claiming that the VAM agreement was pure nonsense. Is this true or false, the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise!
