Volume 1 Chapter 292 The Battle of the Banks (Part II)
Song Nianhui wanted to pull him, a big financier, to pay for oil futures, but he said on the spot that it tickled the itch in Lin Xiaozhi's heart.
Anyone who has a car knows that oil is a non-renewable resource that uses a little less. In the previous life, Lin Xiaozhi also bought a car, and scolded two barrels of oil every day and raised the price of oil by a certain reform commission, and he still remembered that before his accident, international oil was as high as hundreds of dollars a barrel. Therefore, when I heard Song Nianhui mention to him, the latest international oil price is about today. 3 US dollars per barrel, if the storm in the Middle East is promising, he has already remembered that the Kuwait War and the Gulf War are about to start, and he did not hesitate to agree to withdraw 60 million Hong Kong dollars from his private treasury to him, and gambled on international oil futures.
Needless to say, this money was made by shorting H shares before
Because of a car accident, his son and eldest grandson were seriously injured and hospitalized at the same time, and the old man was too sad. Lin Xiaozhi, who had already moved out of the Lin Mansion and did not often go back, also agreed to live in the Lin Mansion temporarily during this period of time under the persuasion of Fu Bo, firstly, he could accompany the old man so as not to make him too sad, and secondly, every young man in the family was not good, and there were indeed many people who were worried about the great cause of the Lin family.
Lin Xiaozhi listened to the persuasion of Fu Bo and agreed to move back to live, but this move undoubtedly made some people very unhappy.
"Young Master Sun, you're back......"
"Well, Grandpa Fu, is dinner ready? I'm hungry......"
After a busy day's work, Lin Xiaozhi was already hungry when he returned to the Lin Mansion, he kept screaming, he has been really busy recently. Although the release of "Qin Warriors" in Hong Kong has ended, the distribution rights of Taiwan and Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea are still being discussed. "Love Letter" has achieved good results in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and New Asia is preparing to take advantage of the situation to enter the Japanese market.
"The Saint of Gambling" is also about to be released, "Red Alert" is also preparing for release and promotion, and Ye Weixin, who has been idle for a few months recently, can't stay, and almost every day he has to find various excuses to go to his office to get a good script from him. At the beginning of the year, Lin Xiaozhi did promise him, so he had to be distracted from work recently, Rao is a bit of workaholic potential, and he still feels a little too busy.
And that's not the only thing he's been distracted from lately. When he acquired Ma Rongcheng's Tianxia Publishing Company at the beginning of the year, Lin Xiaozhi once gave Ma Rongcheng a comic idea. At first, the world was not very accustomed to the new creative style, and after a delay of half a year, after five or six revisions, the world finally came up with a work that generally satisfied him, and recently he was preparing to finalize and print, and lay out the comic publishing channel.
The record company has also begun to release Chen Baiqiang's new album, and the sales situation has been very good recently, and the sales have already created four platinum sales in almost three weeks. The sales volume of more than 200,000 copies shows the popularity of the king Chen Baiqiang, and it is far from reaching the limit of the record. Recently, Xinya Records has an idea to buy the rights of more than 20 songs in "Love Letter" and get an original song disc for sale. Lin Xiaozhi happened to have this idea, so he naturally had to be distracted.
Fu Bo glanced at the time, smiled and nodded: "The kitchen has already started to prepare, and it just so happens that the master and they have just returned from the hospital." Young Master Sun, you can prepare first, and I'll go up and inform them to come down for dinner."
"Hmm"
Lin Xiaozhi nodded, didn't go back to his room, went directly to the bathroom on the first floor to clean, and immediately took a Yu Jing towel to wipe his wet hands and face, except for the bathroom, he walked to the restaurant on the first floor
"Young Master Sun is so ......"
"Hmm"
There were only a few Filipino maids busy in the restaurant, Lin Xiaozhi casually found a seat and sat down, and after about two or three minutes, he heard a burst of women's words outside the restaurant: "Really, why did you eat so early today......
"Madam, it was Forber who ordered it......"
Lin Xiaozhi didn't look up when he heard the voice, just by listening to the voice, he knew who the owner of the voice was.
A fragrant breeze was blowing in his nose, Lin Xiaozhi felt that there was a person sitting next to him, and when he looked at his side face, he found that it was his sister-in-law, and he nodded to her with a smile and did not speak. Yu Guang swept across the table, and sure enough, he saw his little mother Chen Shaohua sitting on the other side with her son, and the two looked at them with undisguised hatred. Lin Xiaozhi sneered in his heart, the second and third generations of the heirs of the Bank of Kowloon were all admitted to the hospital because of a car accident, and now the ghosts, snakes, and gods want to jump out and compete for the big fat of the Bank of Kowloon.
After a few people sat down, they saw Fu Bo slowly walking into the restaurant with the old man in his arms. The blow of the only son and his eldest grandson being seriously injured in a car accident at the same time made the old man in his eighties completely unable to hold on. These days, Lin Jili has been showing his old age, and he could still walk on crutches, but now if there is no one around to support him, he will even have a problem walking.
"Dad......"
"Grandpa......"
Seeing that Lin Jili was coming, several people got up to salute. It may be careless or full of flattery. Lin Jili just nodded, he had just returned from the hospital, and he was obviously not in good spirits.
As soon as he sat down, the dinner began.
“…… What are you busy with lately, I can't see anyone every day...... "The Filipino maid brought dishes one by one, Lin Jili didn't have any appetite, only a bowl of millet porridge was placed in front of him, and after taking a few sips, he put down the spoon, looked at Lin Xiaozhi and asked.
"One film is in post-production waiting to be promoted, two films are going to be released overseas, and one film is waiting to be released...... The company's recent case has been a little more ......"
Lin Xiaozhi was really hungry, and he ate a few pieces of chicken in the bowl and ate it deliciously, and replied without raising his head when he heard the words.
Chen Shaohua, who was on the other side, saw that he was eating too quickly, a few grains of rice fell on the table in front of him, his eyes flashed with disdain, he turned around and suddenly scolded his son Lin Xiaogong and said: "Eat slowly, pay attention to the etiquette on the table, don't sprinkle it everywhere, it's the same as a wild child you haven't seen before."
Although it was a reprimand, the voice was not small, "It just so happened that a few people at the table could hear it."
What kind of mother has what kind of son, don't look at Lin Xiaogong is only in his third year of high school this year, but his mind is not much worse than that of adults. Hearing this, he immediately retorted, "Mom, why are you talking about me, I didn't get anything off"
Yu Crisp's words directly cooperated with Chen Shaohua to point the finger at Lin Xiaozhi.
Lin Xiaozhi lowered his head and was eating, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Chen Shaohua's mother and son and the frowning old man next to him, and sneered in his heart. But as if he hadn't heard the implicit sarcasm, he continued to eat his own food.
Lin Jili on the side frowned slightly, glanced at his daughter-in-law unhappily, and ignored her, and chatted with Lin Xiaozhi, who was sitting on his left hand: "Recently, I heard that Manager Song, who is in charge of bank investment, often goes to you, are you familiar with him?" ”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly sank. Not only did Chen Shaohua's face become more and more ugly, but his gaze at Lin Xiaozhi had made no secret of his hostility. Even Lin Xiaozhi was slightly flustered in his heart, although he had already guessed that the old man was probably paying attention to the bank all the time, but when he really got the proof from his own mouth, he couldn't help but start to be a little worried. If the old man knew his thoughts, could his plan still be so smooth?
However, although he was worried, Lin Xiaozhi did not show it on his face, he nodded after a little heaning: "I am an old friend with Song Sheng, the year before last when he advocated letting my father go long in the Taiwan stock market, my father did not agree, I was also in the bank at the time I was more interested in his proposal, so I invested a sum of money to play with the two of him, I remember that time he helped me earn nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Taiwan, and then we got acquainted...... Not long ago, I learned from Uncle Ming that ATV was going to attack wireless, so I had the intention to short HR stocks, and I also asked Song Sheng to help me handle it, and I made 60 million in half a month...... He recently read in the newspaper that the Middle East was not at peace, and he thought it was an opportunity, so he came to me and asked me if I had any ideas for playing oil futures......"
Glancing at Chen Shaohua, who had an ugly face, Lin Xiaozhi's eyes were full of contempt, and he shrugged his shoulders: "It's all old friends, and I also feel that the oil market may make waves in the future, so I invested a sum of money in him......"
Seeing that his face did not look fake, Chen Jili was surprised when he heard it, although he often saw people in the newspaper saying that his second grandson would make money, this year's "Hong Kong Fortune" magazine even thought that the money he had made in the past two years was faster than catching up with the Lin family's decades of struggle. It's just that Chen Jili rarely believes the data in those so-called wealth magazines, and now that he heard it from Lin Xiaozhi, he couldn't help but start thinking about it.
Jianming, who saw Lao Jiu's family that day, was with him, and the relationship between the two was obviously good, and it was not impossible to receive news from him in advance, and it was not impossible to short H stocks. As for whether the others are real, take the time to talk to Song Nianhui by yourself, and I believe you will be able to distinguish the true from the false. It's not that Lin Jili doesn't believe his words, it's just that the Lin family is like this now, and he is also old, so it's time to think about it later
A thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Jili nodded at him with encouragement in his eyes: "Manager Song is indeed a talent, and your father used to praise him with me. I don't know much about oil futures, but don't play too big, after all, it's not as good as wireless stocks, and you can have Uncle Ming to provide you with news."
"What Grandpa said is" Although Lin Xiaozhi disagreed in his heart, he did not refute his words. Where did he think, before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly asked again, "How much money did you invest in Manager Song in oil futures?" ”
Lin Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, and pondered for a moment before replying: "60 million Hong Kong dollars, ten times leverage......"
In a word, Rao is Lin Jili is not proficient in futures, but after all, he is an old banker, and his face suddenly changed and he opened his mouth: "600 million? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the restaurant changed color. Wang Xiaoman, the sister-in-law next to her, trembled in her hands, and her chopsticks were not steady. Not to mention the other side, Chen Shaohua's face was even more gloomy, and he was about to open his mouth when he suddenly seemed to think of something, turned his face to give her son Lin Xiaogong a color, and saw him snort and said sharply: "Second brother bragging, I remember that you don't have so much money according to the statistics of "Hong Kong Fortune......"
Lin Xiaozhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, he didn't even look at their mother and son, just didn't hear it. It's just that the old man's originally soft gaze that fell on him suddenly became sharp, making him a little unaccustomed. Lin Xiaozhi thought about it, and after all, he didn't choose to deceive him: "Saddam Hussein is known as a 'madman in the Middle East, and the Iran-Iraq war has saddled the originally rich Iraq with hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign debt. I read in the newspapers that on several occasions he personally accused Kuwait of stealing Iraqi oil, which was undoubtedly a signal flare. As the president of a country, does this friction still need him to go into battle in person? Obviously, no, I bet that this will be an excuse for Saddam, within a month, no, maybe within a few days Saddam will send troops, annex Kuwait, Kuwait is now the number one oil producer in the Middle East, and oil reserves account for about 10 percent of the world...... So, if you want to play, play a big one"
"But what if you misjudge and lose......"
He shrugged his shoulders, and was not shaken by the old man's unfavorable remarks, "As long as my film company is still there, what if I lose 60 million private money......
The disapproving ease and confidence in the words made Lin Jili very relieved, but he sighed secretly, if he hadn't encountered a car accident, although the eldest grandson Xiaoyi was not as good as him, it was enough to keep the Lin family's huge family business. Now that he is also old, he no longer has the energy to keep this family business for him until the junior recovers, and continue to be at the helm of the big ship of the Lin family. And the bank can't be left unattended all the time, and perhaps it's time to give it a younger and more energetic person at the helm.
found that the old man's eyes looking at Lin Xiaozhi were full of relief, as well as the undisguised appreciation, which also made Chen Shaohua, who was sitting on the side, look more and more gloomy.
This woman is a smart person, she knows that when the mother of Lin Xiaoyi and the brothers died earlier, the old man wanted to choose a new daughter-in-law for his son. Who knew that Lu Dao suddenly intervened for her, took the initiative to seduce Lin Jiannian, and in the end, she was gentle and coquettish, virtuous and virtuous, and even took the risk of getting pregnant before marriage, and finally married into the Lin family, which is also a wealthy family, with a big belly. The old man has always disliked her in his heart, and he has treated her and her son Lin Xiaogong coldly over the years.
But it doesn't matter, Lin Jili doesn't like her, she still has Lin Jiannian, as long as she bolts him to death, after a hundred years of the old man, isn't the hostess of the Lin family still her? It was Lin Jiannian's yuan match that left two kinds of evil seeds with some trouble, and the second Lin Xiaozhi used some means for her either explicitly or secretly, coupled with the lack of maternal love when she was young, and finally embarked on the path she designed for him, and became a wealthy man who did not learn and was difficult to discipline. The boss is more troublesome, he has always been liked by Lin Jili, and he was sent to a foreign aristocratic school at a young age, which became the biggest obstacle for her biological son Lin Xiaogong to compete for the Lin family's property.
In the past ten years, Chen Shaohua thought that his biggest opponent would be him. Who would have thought that the second child had been in the air for so many years, and suddenly he seemed to be a different person, investing in some lowly and disgusting Fengyue movies and making a lot of money, and immediately became a popular figure in Hong Kong and an upstart in the business world. Then Lin Xiaozhi, who made her so angry that the two Buddhas were out of her body, suddenly left the Lin family and went out to work her own, which made her think that she had one less opponent, and was about to concentrate on dealing with Lin Xiaoyi, the boss who would succeed the Lin family. Who would have expected a sudden car accident, although she helped her downfall Lin Xiaoyi, but Lin Jiannian, who doted on her and her son, was probably paralyzed in bed forever because of this car accident.
After all, Lin Jili is old, and his old body is no longer enough to ⊥ him continue to manage the bank, and it is inevitable to elect a new manager. Chen Shaohua didn't recommend himself without Mao Sui, but the old man didn't worry about her, even if she repeatedly hinted that she just wanted to help him share some responsibilities, he never said anything. Now looking at the way he and Lin Xiaozhi are talking and laughing, the old man's mind is already very clear.
Unwilling and angry, Chen Shaohua snorted coldly, "I have time to discuss making money with others, my father and brother are lying in the hospital, and I don't come to take a look."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at her coldly for a while before he said coldly: "Who made me born not a woman, I can't be a rich man for me to eat and drink, and I was deceived into moving money to my mother's house." I don't have that ability and blessings, so I can only earn it by myself. ”
"Who are you scolding?" Chen Shaohua was furious when she heard this, and Lin Xiaozhi's slap in the face was not painful, which directly made her angry.
Glancing at her with disdain, Lin Xiaozhi snorted coldly: "If you have time to take good care of my father, don't worry about it if you don't have that much ability, the affairs of the Lin family are not yet an outsider's turn to say three or four." ”
There are several people here, even sister-in-law Wang Xiaoman, after getting married, she added the surname Lin before her name on her certificate, strictly speaking, she should be called Lin Wang Xiaoman, so Lin Xiaozhi's words are not false, and several people here except for Chen Shaohua are all surnamed Lin.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Jili remembered that Chen Shaohua secretly wanted to leave a piece of land in the name of his son Lin Jiannian from him earlier, and he couldn't help but feel a little more serious about her disdain.
It's just that he is the head of the family, and he can't be too biased in doing things, so he waved his hand unhappily: "How did you talk to your aunt." ”
Before he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Shaohua again, and said in a flat tone: "You too, such a big person is still angry with a junior." Now is the time for Ah Zhi to break into his career, and he should be busy, didn't he just go to the hospital yesterday? It's you, Jiannian and Xiaoyi were admitted to the hospital, although Xiaoman, the child, waits there every day, but she can't be busy alone. In this way, don't go over to the bank, and concentrate on going to the hospital to take care of Jiannian......"
The old men seemed to have their own boards, but as soon as the words fell, Chen Shaohua's face changed greatly: "Dad, I ......"
"Okay, that's it......"
The old man glanced at her unhappily, "Eat ......"
Next to him, the corners of Lin Xiaozhi's mouth curved slightly in an arc.
The Bank of Kowloon is finished
