Chapter 145 I Have Inside Information
Chapter 145 I Have Inside Information
"Elaborate? Haha, I only know the basics," An Rusong put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, then looked at the other party and said, "However, I do have some ideas about the crisis you are facing this time. Well, if it works well, it may not only help you solve the crisis at hand, but also help you take your career to a higher level and become the most powerful master in Seoul, and even in the whole of Korea, a true master of 'breaking evil and revealing righteousness'."
"Brother Rusong, are you ready to accept my invitation and be my altar protector?" Wen Caiyuan blinked and said expectantly.
"Forget about your duty as the altar protector for now," An Rusong said with a smile, "I mean, I can help you to 'manifest your sainthood' in some aspects."
"Manifestation of the Holy Spirit?" The expectation on Wen Caiyuan's face turned into disappointment.
"Has Caiyuan invested in real estate?" An Rusong did not directly explain what "Xiansheng" was, but changed the subject and asked, "Or has he purchased stocks of companies or banks related to real estate?"
"Is this problem related to the trouble I'm facing now?" Wen Caiyuan asked curiously.
"Then you should know about the economic crisis our country encountered in 97?" An Rushong thought for a moment and asked again.
"Of course," Wen Caiyuan nodded and said, "Our family suffered a great loss at that time. It was like the sky was falling. How could I not remember it?"
"Then you can imagine, if in 97, before the country went bankrupt, you were able to predict the coming of the economic crisis and told your believers, what would you gain?" An Rushong leaned forward slightly and said with a smile.
Wen Caiyuan actually fantasized about it, and as she fantasized, an excited expression appeared on her face: "If that happens, I will be the most outstanding and most famous magician in Korea. No one can compare with me."
"That's right," An Rusong nodded and said, "So I'm going to tell you now that right now, no, in the next one or two months, there will be another economic crisis that will sweep the entire world."
"Are you talking about the subprime mortgage crisis that's been discussed in the news recently?" Wen Caiyuan's fantasy was shattered. "But hasn't this been discussed for a long time? Moreover, I saw in the news that the US central bank has been making efforts to avoid the crisis, and the stock market trend in the past month has clearly proved this. To use the words in the newspaper, the rescue measures of developed economies have taken effect, and there is hope that this crisis can be eliminated."
"Yes, now most ordinary people in the world share the same view as you," An Rusong picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and then said with a smile, "But it is precisely because of this that you made a prediction that is contrary to the public opinion, and it was finally confirmed. Doesn't this show that your magic power is profound?"
Wen Caiyuan blinked. She obviously understood what An Rushong meant, but she didn't know what to say.
It must be admitted that An Rusong is right. A valuable prediction is always good when others cannot see the result in advance. Its pattern is: before an event happens, everyone thinks that point A is correct, but the prophet says that point B is correct. After the event happens, the prophet's statement is proven to be correct. He slaps everyone in the face with facts, so he will be recognized as a true prophet.
But the question is, how can An Rushong say that his prediction is accurate?
Wen Caiyuan was indeed born into a shaman family, relying on some supernatural things to deceive the world, but the more people like her, the less they believe in supernatural things. Otherwise, how could she dare to make a living by doing this? Therefore, if An Rusong dared to say that he could predict something, Wen Caiyuan would probably push the table and leave without hesitation.
"Cai Yuan, I know what you are worried about," An Rusong could see through the other party's thoughts. He was not in a hurry, but continued, "Do you think that the news and newspaper reports are true, and this crisis can really be overcome safely?"
Picking up a bite of food with chopsticks, he said: "Believe me, if you want to know the truth, don't just read the newspapers or the news, that's all fake."
"Oh?" Wen Caiyuan's face showed an interested expression again.
An Rusong put down his chopsticks, pulled out a tissue from the tissue box on the side, wiped his mouth carefully, then took out a business card holder from his pocket, handed a business card to the other party, and then said: "Actually, I am the president of a company. I wonder if you know a very popular game called NGN Farm."
Wen Caiyuan took the business card with both hands. Before she even read the content on it, she nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know. I play it every day."
"This game belongs to me, including the communication software called NGN," An Rushong smiled and continued.
Wen Caiyuan's eyes widened and her greasy mouth opened slightly. She had a little girl face, and with such an expression, she looked quite cute. "Of course, I'm not saying this to show off. The point I want to make is as follows," An Rusong took out another business card from his business card holder and handed it to Wen Caiyuan, and then said, "Because he saw that my company has a good prospect, an American found me before. It's the person on the business card."
Wen Caiyuan hurriedly lowered her head to look at the business card, and then said in very broken English: "Macaulay O'Lil?"
"Yes, this person is the founder of GC Fund and also a partner of DFJ Ventures in the United States," An Rusong continued. "Have you heard of the name DFJ?"
Wen Caiyuan's eyes were focused on the business card, and she just nodded subconsciously when she heard it.
"It was from this person that I got some inside information," An Rushong continued.
"What news?" Wen Caiyuan raised her head and asked An Rushong.
"Macauley told me that the current economic situation in the United States is very bad. Although the Federal Reserve has taken measures to cut interest rates and joined forces with the central banks of Europe and Japan to invest in rescue efforts, this round of economic crisis is still unavoidable," An Rusong leaned forward again and lowered his voice, saying, "According to him, the OECD has already made a forecast that the direct losses caused by this economic crisis to the world will not be less than 4000 billion US dollars."
Wen Caiyuan blinked and said nothing. To her, this information was actually useless. After all, she was not a macroeconomic analyst.
"Of course, this news is far from our lives, so it seems to have nothing to do with us," An Rusong saw the other party's mentality, and he further said, "But Macaulay also told me a piece of news. If nothing unexpected happens, the day after tomorrow at the latest, one of the four major securities firms in Japan, Daiwa Securities, will announce its financial report for the first three quarters of this year. Its losses in these three quarters will be as high as 593 billion yen."
This time, Moon Chae-won is obviously in high spirits, because South Korea is paying more attention to Japan's four major securities firms.
"Not only Daiwa Securities, but Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho will also release their financial reports later. The former lost 181 billion yen, and the latter lost 1967 billion U.S. dollars," said An Rusong. "The most important part is the financial report of Nomura Securities. If nothing unexpected happens, Nomura Securities' financial report will be released on the 11th. Once this financial report is released, global stock markets will plummet on the same day, and it will be a long-term and continuous plunge. For global stock investors, this will be a long winter."
Wen Caiyuan's eyes rolled back and forth, and it was obvious that she was starting to make some calculations in her mind.
There is no doubt that if what An Rushong said is true, then she can indeed reap huge benefits from it.
In recent years, South Korea's economy has developed rapidly, and accordingly, more and more people have been involved in the stock market and profited from it. As early as last year, financial media reported that the number of active stock accounts in South Korea has exceeded 5000 million. Although the number of active accounts does not represent the actual number of stock investors, the number of million is already quite astonishing compared to South Korea's total population of less than million.
Therefore, for some ordinary Koreans, if you tell them something about the macroeconomic level, they may not understand or pay attention to it. But if you tell them that the stock market will collapse on a specific day, they will definitely pay attention.
If there are many people paying attention, it means there will be hot spots, and if there are hot spots, there will be influence. This is the simple logic in Wen Caiyuan’s mind.
The most important thing is that the "prophecy" that An Rushong mentioned is not just one, but can be divided into five. After all, he talked about the financial reports of the four major securities firms in Japan. Wen Caiyuan will have enough time to verify whether what he said is credible. The most valuable and easiest to operate is the last one.
In Wen Caiyuan's opinion, she could use the information from the two brokerage firms that first produced the financial reports as confirmation. If she could really prove that the information given by An Rushong was accurate enough, then she could use the following three pieces of information to stage a drama of prophecy coming true, which would not only offset the crisis of faith among believers caused by the attack on her, but could even further enhance her own reputation.
"Brother Rusong, are you sure that the information you have received is accurate?" Wen Caiyuan thought of a countermeasure almost instantly, adjusted his facial expression, and asked softly.
"Haha, whether it is accurate or not can be verified, right?" An Rusong smiled and said calmly, "Like I said, the financial report of Daiwa Securities will be released the day after tomorrow at the latest. You just need to pay a little attention to it. As for what to do next, that is your business, Caiyuan."
He paused, lowered his voice again, and said, "This time, the news is my gift to Caiyuan, but if Caiyuan wants to get news from me next time, she will have to pay more or less."
