Chapter 638: Small Gains
Apart from the unusual fossils of the North China Dragon, which are somewhat interesting, there is really nothing to see elsewhere.
The mine stopped working during the Chinese New Year, leaving only some miners from other places who had nowhere to go and security guards here. All you can see is coal and nothing else.
He originally planned to stay for a day or two, but after a brief tour of the mining area, Fan Wumian suddenly changed his mind and decided to visit the Yungang Grottoes.
As soon as he left in the car, some civil servants in the town came over in a group.
Someone learned from a distant relative that Fan Wumian had actually left. He stamped his feet in regret, feeling that he had missed out on a huge fortune.
In fact, even if they met Fan Wumian, they would not be able to talk about topics such as attracting investment. Except for a few first-tier cities and key second-tier cities, it was difficult for other places to offer chips that would be attractive to him.
For example, the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
A few years ago, I heard that Tudou.com wanted to move away because there was not enough office space and it planned to build its own office building in Shenzhen.
The authorities did not hesitate to find an office building with a total construction area of 30405.45 square meters in Zhangjiang High-tech Park, and agreed to transfer it to Tudou.com at a cost price of only 5700 yuan per square meter. They were also willing to provide support in terms of tax and fee reductions, talent settlement, and R&D incentive funding subsidies.
As the world's largest video website, Tudou has become a golden signboard in the Internet industry of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Shenzhen has Penguin, Lin'an has Alibaba, and Yanjing has Baidu. However, Shanghai, which is known for its strong economic strength, lags behind in the development of the Internet industry and indeed needs a fig leaf like Tudou.
Zhangjiang High-tech Park is located in Pudong New Area. There is considerable room for appreciation of office buildings in the future. In addition, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has strongly retained it and even allows the purchase of buildings in three installments, with the first payment of only 20% and 40% in each of the next two years.
After considering it a few years ago, Fan Wumian felt that there was no reason to let go of this piece of fat meat that was right in front of him, and he has agreed to continue to keep Tudou's headquarters in Shanghai. At the same time, he also hopes to get a piece of land near the company to build some "employee dormitories."
The specific details have not yet been negotiated, but there are basically no major problems with obtaining land for building buildings, and the land obtained may be very close to the Tomson Golf Villa District in Pudong.
On the way to Yungang Grottoes.
Fan Wumian checked the share price of Huifeng Bank on the London Stock Exchange.
It was a little after 5 p.m. Yanjing time, February was still winter time, and the London Stock Exchange had just opened when the stock price fell by 4.3%.
This number was not as good as she had imagined. The short position in London could only earn about 3100 million pounds.
Considering that the total market value of Huifeng Bank exceeds US$2000 billion, its size is astonishingly large, and the scale of bad debts announced this time is only US$18 billion. In the absence of systemic financial risks, it is unlikely that Huifeng Bank will suffer serious damage with that little loss alone.
Fan Wumian was struggling over whether he should cash in the money early and run away immediately.
However, after the U.S. stock market opens in the evening, the atmosphere in the market may become more dangerous, causing bank stocks to continue to fall.
The chance of winning is still relatively high, at least 60% to 70%, so Fan Wumian resisted the urge to cash out and leave, and decided not to pay attention to this matter for the time being.
The road is harder to drive than expected, and it gets dark early in February.
Everyone simply rested in a newly opened five-star hotel in the city. Fan Wumian even went out wearing a mask and strolled around the streets.
The wind was bitingly cold and it suddenly started snowing heavily around 8 o'clock in the evening.
When he returned to the hotel, he saw a few small cards on the floor at the door. Fan Wumian was stunned.
It’s not that he was so hungry that he didn’t care about what he ate, but he recognized the girl on the card. She was Ying Tian, who had a face that symbolized peace and prosperity.
There is no need to doubt it. It must be an unscrupulous small card company that stole Yingtian's photos from the Internet and took advantage of her because she is not famous yet.
Thinking that such things might have a serious negative impact on Yingtian, Fan Wumian did a good deed every day and took a photo and sent a small card to Yingtian via QQ.
Around November last year, Ying Tian, a junior at the Beijing Film Academy, got Fan Wumian’s QQ number from somewhere and applied to add him as a friend.
After adding him, we only chatted for a few sentences and then nothing happened.
Fan Wumian knew very well that Ying Tian had met a noble man at a young age, and now had a secret boyfriend who was helping her find resources to make her famous. Of course, he would not take the initiative to try to poach her.
When he sent the photo of the small card, he was typing out the situation, preparing to ask Yingtian to contact the company to send someone to check it out.
Following two beeps, Ying Tian sent a message:
"???"
"Where did it come from? It's not me." "I mean, I took this photo, but I would never do such a thing! Who is so dirty to print me on it?"
"."
Fan Wumian was quite speechless. He sent the typed words and then added:
"I was on a business trip and stayed in a hotel. I just happened to see it. I thought it was necessary to say hello to you. It's best to resolve this matter quietly to avoid affecting your future."
After sending it.
Fan Wumian felt that this might easily lead to misunderstanding, so he continued writing:
"I'm definitely not interested in this little card. It was just that someone slipped it through the door when I went out shopping. It should be easy to trace it by following the clues. You can ask someone to help you."
soon.
Ying Tian replied: "Okay, thank you Mr. Fan for reminding me! You are so charming, of course you don't need these, I definitely didn't misunderstand."
"."
It felt like the situation was getting worse and worse, so Fan Wumian was too lazy to intervene. He just sent an "OK" emoticon and then replied to Yang Mi who had asked him to play mahjong again.
Rather than saying they were making a mahjong appointment, it would be more like the girl was looking for an excuse to send him a message and want to chat with him.
Young girls are easy to deceive, but once deceived they are very difficult to deal with and easy to get hooked.
So Fan Wumian just replied with a message, saying that he was on a business trip, and then went through his email and looked for the latest share price of Huifeng Bank on the London Stock Exchange.
In the evening, the decline was still 4.3%, but now it has narrowed to 3.08%.
Fan Wumian sneered at this. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the global stock market was like a little girl who allowed American oligarchs to dress her up. Each of them was deeply influenced by the U.S. stock market, and it was difficult for them to develop an independent trend.
There has not been much movement in the United States. Even though Huifeng Bank disclosed huge losses, its stock price did not fall too much. This is enough to show that investors are still optimistic about the future trend of the US economy.
The paper profits of several million pounds evaporated out of thin air, which was almost like losing money, and made Fan Wumian feel deeply painful.
All he could say was that the time was not right yet and there was nothing he could do.
He continued to browse the Internet, but the slow speed gave him a headache. After sending the message, he learned that Zhuang Muxi had not gone to bed yet, so he chatted with her on the phone about what she had seen and heard in the past two days.
During this period, he also watched the TV series "Sleeping on the Hard Bed and Tasting Gall". The male lead Cheng Daoming and the female lead Zuo Xiaoqing have been rumored to be in a scandal recently. The security guard said that he often visited the woman's home.
Having been in the entertainment industry for too long, it is difficult for me to create beauty from a distance and to put myself into the story like other viewers do.
When the U.S. stock market opened, Fan Wumian went to check the stock price trend of Huifeng Bank on the New York Stock Exchange. He did not hold much hope at first, but when he found that Huifeng Bank's opening price plummeted by more than 5%, and there were many latest financial news talking about the risks of the subprime mortgage market, he was overjoyed.
It is not clear yet whether the short-selling camp has begun to exert its strength, but the balance seems to have moved a little again.
Affected by the subprime mortgage risk, the three major U.S. stock indexes generally fell, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 1.7% in just over ten minutes.
If he closed his position now, Fan Wumian could earn about 7000 million US dollars from the U.S. stock market. However, market confidence finally began to waver, making him feel that there was no need to run away immediately.
More and more investors are beginning to lose confidence in the market prospects, which leads to a lower probability of a sharp rise in companies such as Huifeng Bank. Since the chances of winning have increased, it is obviously more appropriate to be patient and wait.
While he was checking the news, Zuo Ziyan, who was also paying attention to the stock market, called him again to congratulate him.
Fan Wumian said to her:
"The problems in the subprime mortgage market are obviously very beneficial to me, but when the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the mainland stock market open, my fund business will probably be hit. Boshi Fund cashed out a total of 120 billion yuan before the New Year, but there is still a lot of money in the market. I'm afraid many people will have a difficult year."
Zuo Ziyan said calmly:
"It's not your fault. I've helped them relieve some of the risk. You should be thanked."
"Your prediction has come true. You should be able to raise a lot of funds next. My dad made some money from the money he invested in you, right?"
"That's great. When my parents are in a good mood, I'll ask them to give me some start-up capital, and I'll officially start learning how to run a business from you." (End of this chapter)
