Chapter 626: The Dagger Revealed
Although he was constantly involved in gossip, Fan Wumian was still attracted by the opportunity to get a taste of other people's big gossip.
He spent several minutes scrolling through his neighbor's Penguin Weibo from beginning to end.
Just as Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, said, people like to spy on others and also like to be spied on. While paying attention to their own lives, they are also keen to observe the lives of others.
After reading dozens of Weibo posts, he discovered that his female neighbor had lived a very colorful life in the past.
Not only did she just graduate from the University of Toronto in Canada last June, she has also visited unpopular and niche attractions such as Capitoline National Park in Brazil, Hallstatt in Austria, and Tiger's Nest Monastery in Bhutan. She seems to be free and easy in life, just like a rich and beautiful woman who has no worries about food and clothing.
And this situation seemed to have come to an abrupt end around October and November last year.
The texts he sent out began to reveal sadness, and the smiles in the photos disappeared. Sometimes, it would take more than ten days before he sent out a post with the word "unhappy" between the lines.
Because she is beautiful and has the look of a travel blogger who can take others to see the scenery of other parts of the world, she has more than 11 followers, making her a moderately famous internet celebrity.
Under her recent posts, many people commented and asked her what happened and why she rarely posted new updates.
One of the replies caught Fan Wumian's attention, and it read:
——"Her name is Xue Shiyun, I think. She went to the same junior high school as me in Xiamen. Her family seemed to be in the building materials and cement business, so they sent her to study abroad. I just heard from a friend a while ago that her father almost went bankrupt after guaranteeing a loan for a relative. The first Mercedes-Benz S600 I saw in junior high school was her father's car."
It has to be said that netizens' human search capabilities are sometimes even more powerful than search engines.
Several netizens below, who were also from Xiamen, commented and confirmed this, and one provided more details, saying that her father owed the bank more than 6000 million yuan, and that the cement factory and transport fleet were sealed.
This made Fan Wumian smack his lips, and he suddenly thought of Ling Ling, whom he met at Shang K. He wondered how these rich and beautiful parents were always so good at messing up their business.
Then he realized that this was also a case of "survivor bias". There were many bosses who went bankrupt due to poor management, and it was only because their daughters were pretty enough that they attracted the attention of Fan Wumian.
Moreover, many of the bosses' wives are pretty and have good genes, so it is natural for them to give birth to good-looking daughters.
Influenced by the mentality of men who like to persuade others to be good people, Fan Wumian just sighed a few times and said it was a pity. Then his attention was diverted by a piece of news and he went to check the 2006 financial report of Sanyao Heavy Industry which had just been disclosed to the public.
As Sanyao Heavy Industry performed well last year, with total revenue, gross profit margin and net profit margin all increasing significantly year-on-year, the company could not wait to disclose its 2006 financial report.
Hindsight.
Fan Wumian checked the share price of Sanyao Heavy Industry and found that it had reached its daily limit when it opened in the afternoon, making him earn more than 9300 million yuan.
The surprise came too suddenly, so he was planning to organize a big meal in the evening. However, he was worried that the recent good food would make him gain weight, which would delay his body management.
If nothing unexpected happens, the share price of Sanyao Heavy Industry can continue to rise for a while, but after the Spring Festival, it will need to start considering cashing out part of the shares at the right time to avoid the impact of the US subprime mortgage crisis.
However, overall, Sanyao Heavy Industry is still a very good high-quality stock, and large-scale infrastructure construction in the mainland has not yet started, so there is huge room for growth. It is worth investing heavily in it through companies such as Boshi Fund and Shanzeiwang Fund, and holding it for a long time.
There is also the Penguin Group, whose 2006 financial report has not yet been released to the public, but Fan Wumian, as the largest shareholder, has already learned in advance from Ma Ge, who called him to share the good news, that the group's total revenue last year reached 36.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its net profit was as high as 17.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Even if it went to Yanjing and won the Antarctic Spirit Realm Penguin City project, the net operating cash flow on the books still remained at HK$22 billion.
Once the news is announced, the share price of Penguin Group will surely rise further. Since the company's development momentum is so strong, Fan Wumian feels that it can just move forward steadily and there is no need to consider whether it will be affected by the subprime mortgage crisis.
Therefore, there is no need for it to shrink its business and prepare for the winter. It should continue to invest where it should and continue to sing and dance as usual. It should not be too far away from truly taking off and becoming a world-class Internet giant.
As long as the current development momentum is maintained and steady progress is made, he believes that the total market value of Penguin Group will exceed 2007 billion US dollars by the end of 100.
Pu Jiajing came over to bring him some fruit, a platter consisting of kiwi, strawberry, mango and orange, focusing on comprehensive nutrition.
Pu Jiajing was hit hard not long after he came in front of Fan Wumian, because he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the life of rich people is so plain and boring. Today, the share price of Sanyao Heavy Industry has reached its limit again. Adding on a few other stocks I invested in, I have clearly made more than 100 million. Why can't I be happy? I am a little happy, but not excited. Could it be that success came too easily, so I lack a little sense of accomplishment?"
Faced with this soul-searching question, Pu Jiajing almost vomited blood. He took a deep breath and replied:
"You know Bill Gates, the world's richest man, right? His dream is to treat all lives equally, eliminate people's prejudices, and make the world fairer. Boss, the reason you can't be happy is because you haven't learned to share. Instead of getting happiness from charity, why don't you give me today's earnings, even if it's just a fraction, and I'll be ecstatic to show you."
".The real purpose is revealed."
Fan Wumian secretly joked:
"You are so naive. You don't even understand the principle of establishing a persona. You just believe whatever others say. The inheritance tax in the United States is too high. Donating to foreign countries is just to avoid taxes. Unless you really give the money to those in need, it can't be considered charity."
"You don't see any of that when some people are constantly going to the Bahamas and partying every night."
"I remember Bill Gates once said that society is full of unfairness. Don't think about changing it. You can only adapt to it and continue to work to adapt. Compared with other people who have no way out, at least you have me to help you with investment and financial management. Your starting point is already hundreds of kilometers ahead of others."
Pu Jiajing spread her hands and said regretfully: "What a pity, if you were drunk now, maybe you would be easier to talk to."
".Even if I have a brain full of water, get kicked by a donkey, or get stuck by a door, I will not spend 100 million casually. I will just work hard and stop dreaming."
Fan Wumian rolled his eyes at her.
Pu Jiajing changed the subject and asked:
"Boss, have you looked outside? The beautiful girl who lives next door is practicing yoga in the backyard. I just chatted with her for a while. I will go buy a yoga mat and practice with her later."
After listening.
Fan Wumian immediately perked up.
I got up decisively and went to the master bedroom, only to see that the "Canary" female neighbor was indeed in the yard downstairs.
There was a large parasol above her head, and she was wearing yoga clothes, stretching in a standard cat pose.
The almost perfect figure, coupled with the fashionable and cool appearance, made Pu Jiajing's head ring with alarm bells, and she regretted:
"I shouldn't have told you, Boss, you're hiding here and peeking, isn't that a bit vulgar?"
Fan Wumian retorted:
"What do you mean by hiding and peeking? I was clearly looking openly and honestly. The golf course in the distance was covered with green grass. It was very pleasing to the eyes."
"Go buy some yoga mats if you want. Also, help me chop some beef offal, chicken feet, and kelp shreds. We'll have something to eat tonight, and then we'll go to the preview of Love Call Transfer."
"Xu Zheng is the male lead, and Huang Shengyi, Yang Mi, Yao Xingtong and others all make cameo appearances. They arranged a preview in Shenzhen specifically for me, so it would be a bit unreasonable not to go."
After Pu Jiajing left the house, Fan Wumian somehow sneaked downstairs and pretended to be watering the flowers.
The "Canary" next door heard the noise, quickly stood up and walked over, smiled and said:
"Hi, have you been living here lately? I knew you bought the house, but I rarely see you."
Fan Wumian's expression was calm and composed. He smiled and said:
"Well, I came here recently for something. I usually travel around the world. What about you? Did you buy the apartment next door?"
"It's not mine. It's the house of an acquaintance of my father. He has a bad heart and is having surgery in Canada, so I came here temporarily to stay for a while."
Hearing this, Fan Wumian's brain circuit almost burned out. He didn't know whether it was just a random excuse, or whether the "financial sponsor" really knew her father and reached some kind of deal. (End of this chapter)
