Chapter 38: Lord Yang Searches

After dawn, the three people in the detention room and Shao Baoxing were all taken away, leaving only Fan Jianxin alone.

It wasn't until the afternoon that a few fresh-faced interrogators came and interrogated him again.

One of the older interrogators, who spoke very left-hand and was very difficult to hear, was scolded by Fan Jianxin for a while, his face was blue with anger, he was speechless for a long time, and walked away in disgrace.

The third day was his birthday.

On this day, he turned eighteen years old. The specific time is February 10, 1983 in the Gregorian calendar, and there are still 2 days before the Spring Festival.

On his birthday, he was locked up at the police station, what kind of sadness is this?!

I'm afraid it's the saddest one among the reborn.

Fan Jianxin had just eaten breakfast when he heard a noise outside, and when he listened carefully, there was a foreigner talking.

The tone is very angry and arrogant!

"Fan, my dear friend, I have worked so hard to find you! ……”

The door of the detention cell opened, and a middle-aged foreigner threw himself at him with open arms. Fan Jianxin instinctively avoided the bear hug of the visitor, he didn't like the smell of perfume on foreigners.

At first glance, it turned out to be Thomson.

John Deere Company was sent to Yuejin Flour Mill in Mizhou City to be responsible for the installation of new flour processing machinery, and was also the representative of John Deere Company in China to negotiate a joint venture with Luoshi Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory in Luohe Province.

"Dear Fan, this is $5,000 for information consultation, please accept it."

There were also a few people who came with Thomson: Zhai Guangyao, director of the Weizhou Municipal Grain Bureau, Yang Yinjian, director of the Yuejin Flour Mill, director and translator of the Weizhou Foreign Affairs Reception Office, as well as several agricultural machinery joint venture negotiators, and the director of the Dongdajie Police Station.

When they saw Thomson seeing Fan Jianxin, he took out a stack of thick green bills from his arms, and they were also stunned and shocked for a while, and then looked at each other.

At this time, the exchange of US dollar bills and Huaxia currency was more than 8 times, and the black market exchange was close to 10 times.

That's a lot of money!

How could they not be shocked?!

This is the first time Thomson has seen Fan Jianxin again since the last time he contacted Fan Jianxin. In the past month, his life has been like a roller coaster, and his mood has sometimes reached the peak of his life, and sometimes he has fallen into a deep valley.

To be precise, his personal wealth is like a roller coaster, jumping high for a while, and falling into the abyss for a while.

Fan Jianxin's analysis of the rice stock market convinced him, and Fan Jianxin's suggestion kept him awake for many nights.

He partially accepted Fan's suggestion to raise $500,000, and without daring to increase financial leverage, his stock market broker bought shares of Apple Inc., which went public on December 12, 1980, in Cupertino, California, before January 18.

On January 19, 1983, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, announced that he would launch a new computer named after his daughter, Apple Lisa. It was the world's first personal computer that combined a graphical user interface with a mouse.

On this day, Apple's stock skyrocketed by as much as 58% and also rose by 52% at the close. At the closing price, Thomson's assets increased by $260,000!

That's a lot of money!

Even in 2020, this is a huge amount of money.

Over the next few days, Apple's stock continued to rise. Thomson couldn't hold back his excitement and asked the broker to raise ten times the leveraged funds and increase the purchase of Apple shares.

Who knows, Apple's stock opened 3% higher on the second day, and then began to fall, constantly falling, during which there was little rebound, and it fell for several days.

Within a few days, Thomson's stock market value was already in a huge state of loss......

The funds in the stock account went from earning hundreds of thousands to losing hundreds of thousands in just a few days. The maximum loss during the period reached 80% of the investment amount, but this downward trend has not changed.

The securities company urged him to make up the amount of the loss within three days, otherwise, his stock would be forcibly liquidated at any time!

Once the position is closed, his loss is a real loss. Not only did the 500,000 yuan he invested in the stock market go down the drain, but he also had to pay the financing company a huge amount of leveraged funds and interest.

In just a few days, he went from a rich man who stepped into the middle class to a poor man who was heavily indebted.

I am afraid that he will not be able to pay off his debts for the rest of his life.

Thomson's stock market funds were in a hurry, and he couldn't care about negotiating a joint venture with the Huaxia Agricultural Machinery Factory, so he flew directly to New York to find a way to raise funds to fill the hole in the stock market.

That's the power of leveraged money in the stock market.

The stock market will return to you as much as you increase leverage.

If initially, according to Fan Jianxin's suggestion, he used the Apple shares purchased with 500,000 yuan as a pledge, plus 20 times the leveraged financing, and then bought Apple shares, then he would have Apple shares with a market value of 10 million US dollars.

On January 19 alone, based on the closing price of Apple's stock price, his assets will reach a terrifying $15.2 million, making $5.2 million in one day!

And that's not even counting the subsequent gains in Apple's share price in the days that followed.

With just this investment, he properly entered the middle class, and even reached the upper class of the United States.

What a kind of getting rich is this!

In fact, he became a poor bastard in debt!

He couldn't stay in China anymore, so he booked a plane ticket and flew directly to New York, the United States, instead of his home in Illinois.

This caused Huaxia to negotiate with him to be panicked, speculated, and disappointed...... The agricultural machinery joint venture production project between the two countries, which was well discussed, was shelved due to Thomson's inexplicable departure.

This made the Huaxia side once again lower the demand for joint venture interests.

Somewhat magically, Apple's stock was halted by Thomson's arrival, and even then, he mortgaged his home in Illinois.

In the days that followed, the stock price rebounded quite a bit, and it fluctuated a lot, rising and falling.

The stock price is like a rope tied to his heart, pulling up and down, and his little heart can't bear it.

Gradually, Apple's stock price tended to stabilize, but he still lost nearly 700,000 yuan on his books.

At this time, of course, he remembered the young prophet who started Huaxia and asked him to buy Apple shares - "Fan".

That's why, as soon as he saw Fan Jianxin's face, whether he was in the detention room of the police station, he hurriedly offered 5,000 US dollars.

In order to find Fan Jianxin, he has experienced a lot of twists and turns.

When Apple's stock price stabilized temporarily, he returned to China.

When he got off the plane, it was already noon, and Huaxia sent a lot of people to pick him up from the plane, preparing to arrange for him to go to the hotel for lunch.

Thomson was very willful, refused the lunch arrangement, and was unwilling to continue to negotiate the issue of joint venture with the Huaxia representatives, but shouted to meet the Oriental young prophet "Fan".

He couldn't tell who "Fan" was, let alone Fan Jianxin's name...... His eyes were blazing, and he repeated to the translator that he wanted to see "Fan" immediately!

The translator was also confused for a while.

This is a bad hurry, Huaxia is also hungry and ready to negotiate the representative of the joint venture!

Is "rice" food or not?!

The Chinese negotiators, the director of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, the translator and others had to accompany Thomson to Yuejin Flour Mill again and began the journey of "rice".

The pressure of the translator was very great, and he salivated and told the leaders of the flour mill who were at a loss that the foreign adults were looking for "rice".

Beggar?

The foreign lord asks for food, and the ghost believes it.

What "rice"?

It's not for food.

What the hell is "rice"?

……

For a while, the leading group of the flour mill who was shouted at looked at each other, and the second monk was puzzled, where could he understand what kind of "rice" person the foreign adults were looking for?

Yang Yinjian was the first to react, and he guessed who the person Lord Yang was looking for in a hurry.

Two days ago, after Fan Jianxin was taken away by the tripartite joint law enforcement officers, he learned that it was Yang Lei who privately called Assistant Liu under the pretense of the factory department...... The grain and oil store was recaptured.

This is the rhythm that wants to offend Director Zhai Guangyao!

He privately scolded his eldest son Yang Lei, saying that he would only make trouble for him.

He knew that Fan Jianxin's father, Fan Fagui, and Zhai Guangyao's relationship were comrades-in-arms who had sold their lives together in a trench. Although Fan Fagui is just a subordinate of Zhai Guangyao and a small squad leader, who can tell the extent of their friendship?

Fan Jianxin is arrested, Fan Fagui will definitely go to Zhai Guangyao, and Zhai Guangyao will definitely hold him accountable.

At this point, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only hope that the tripartite joint law enforcement officers could find some evidence of Fan Jianxin's violations.

When the time comes, it will be easy to explain.

Before Zhai Guangyao's accountability came, a foreign adult came. This foreigner, who helped Yuejin Flour Mill install a new type of flour milling machinery, is looking for a "fan", and it is the kind that is in a hurry.

From the "rice" that Lord Yang said to the translator, he thought of the little "Fan" director. On the day of the inauguration ceremony of the new flour processing machinery, Fan Jianxin, who had worked as a translator for several foreign adults.

Judging from the anxious appearance of Lord Yang, it is obvious that Lord Yang is really looking for Fan Jianxin.

He didn't understand, how could a Chinese man find a little kid in China?

At this time, how could he tell the director of the Foreign Affairs Reception Office of the Municipal Party Committee, the negotiator of the agricultural machinery joint venture and others that Fan Jianxin was arrested by the police station?

He knew that Fan Jianxin's arrest was done by Yang Lei, and he also knew that the guilt listed for Fan Jianxin was far-fetched and contrary to the latest national law. The spirit of Taiwan's policy.

He still has the political consciousness of this.

Now, he can only pretend that he doesn't know who Lord Yang is looking for, but wants to drag this over in advance, and then go to the police station to find out the situation. If Fan Jianxin did not have any substantive policy violations, he would ask the police station to release him as soon as possible.

And in this dragging process, the middle-aged foreign adult went crazy!

Not only was he rude, but he also threatened that if he didn't see "Fan" today, he would terminate all cooperation with Huaxia.

Since 1978, the company has settled in Huaxia and is one of the earliest agricultural machinery companies to cooperate with Huaxia, which is inseparable from the modernization of agriculture in China.

If John Deere leaves China, it will be a major event at the national level.

At this moment, the negotiators involved in the matter and the director of the foreign affairs department were panicked and immediately reported the matter layer by layer.

Then the mayor of Weizhou City and the provincial leader of Luohe Province were alarmed......

In the end, the male employees of the Yuejin Flour Mill lined up in a long line and walked in front of Thomson one by one, including the male employees of the sales department.

Where is Fan Jianxin's shadow?!

Tossed into the evening, and did not find the person to look for. In the end, Lord Yang left a sentence "I can't see 'Fan' tomorrow, he will return to China immediately......"

At this time, Huaxia was very eager for advanced technology, and had no say in this kind of joint venture negotiation.

Various departments held a meeting overnight on how to find "rice", and the city gave Zhai Guangyao, the director of the Food Bureau, a death order, if you can't find the person you want to see tomorrow, you don't have to do it.

As the director of the Food Bureau, Zhai Guangyao, of course, gave Yang Yinjian an order, if you can't find someone who wants to see the foreign adults tomorrow, you don't have to do it.

Yang Yinjian came to the Dongmen Police Station that night, wanting to get Fan Jianxin out, but once he learned about it, the development of things was somewhat out of his control......
