Chapter 781 Rebirth: I am a Leek in the Stock Market

Chapter 781 Rebirth: I am a Leek in the Stock Market

"After the listing is completed, we will prepare for a merger. The Collinshouse Group has a big appetite and wants to swallow up my other businesses." Chen Xi said with a frown.

"There's nothing we can do. These Australian conglomerates control traditional industries such as banks. Now that emerging industries are constantly emerging, they also want to make a change." Alin felt deeply touched.

Future Education has been targeted by others before. Several major Turkish and Australian financial groups have sent people to contact Alin, but he has always used Tai Chi to evade them all.

"Haven't you already returned to your country to develop your business? Why are you suddenly concerned about the business here?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Alin asked again.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!" Chen Xi, who had experience in his previous life, shook his head.

He is not in a hurry in this life, and plans to use Australia as a blood transfusion tool, or as a retirement home for him when he has nowhere else to go in the future.

"You're right to think so. Many bosses do the same." Alin patted his shoulder meaningfully.

"Zhong Lili and I are planning to start a shooting range project. We hope to attract some Chinese people to come and play. Are you interested?"

"No, I'm the president of the Chamber of Commerce now, so I don't have the time to do these things."

"Oh, I forgot you were the president. How are you and your old lover doing?"

"What old lover? Don't talk nonsense... She insisted on getting married... I'm a playboy... You know..." At this point, Alin blushed for the first time.

"Hahaha!" Chen Xi also laughed when he saw his embarrassed look.

At night, in a small villa near the port.

"Oh, you've made a lot of money in the past few years! You can even buy a house here! How much did Norbert give you?" Chen Xi looked at the nicely decorated house, smiled and patted the woman's butt.

Oksana rolled her eyes at him and said, "This is all what I earned as a model. The money you gave me is only a small part of it."

"Ha, I don't believe you! This house must cost at least three million! How much can you earn as a model in several years?"

"I'm a famous model now, not the newcomer I used to be!"

"Aren't there a lot of paparazzi squatting at your door, waiting to take some gossip pictures? If I come here so late, will it make the headlines tomorrow? Will there be paparazzi climbing on the tree to take pictures of us doing things?" Chen Xi pretended to be panicked and looked around.

"Why, you're going to be the boss of a listed company soon. Are you worried that the stock price will drop in the future?" Oksana put her arms around his neck and breathed out a sweet breath.

"Of course. Nowadays, anyone who goes online will be criticized. No matter what the truth is, it will be used for hype. I have to be careful." Chen Xi snorted coldly.

"I heard from the company that Norbert has partnered with Tesla and plans to promote new cars in Australia! I wonder if this news is useful to you."

"I've known this news for a long time, but you're telling me now. Have you already betrayed him and joined him? I guess I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight!" Chen Xi frowned, picked up the woman and walked towards the bathroom upstairs.

After taking a bath together and having a passionate moment, Chen Xi asked while lying on the bed: "Have you contacted Jin Junxiu recently?"

"Are you talking about that Korean guy?" Oksana asked with a rosy face, leaning on his chest.

"It seems that I haven't looked for you. I wanted to get some information!"

"He gave me a card before he left. Money would be deposited into the account every once in a while, and I would also regularly send him Carsales information. But he hasn't contacted me yet!"

"Well, he is still a shareholder of Carsales!" Chen Xi nodded.

It seems that Kim Junsu will take revenge on Norbert sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

According to the situation in his previous life, after Carsales went public, Norbert went to Korea and reversely acquired Kim Junsu's car platform.

But Chen Xi investigated some time ago and found out that Kim Junsu was no longer in that company.

"You don't have any cameras in this room, do you?" Chen Xi touched the woman's chin as if he was teasing a cat.

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person? I'm not short of money now!" Oksana hit him.

"If you're not short of money, then why haven't you cut off contact with me? Is it because I'm great in that aspect?"

"Hehe, just take it as that." Oksana was amused by his words.

The tacit understanding between the two is more like an agreement that does not require words.

Lover? Not really.

Lovers? Even less likely.

They just took what they wanted and enjoyed this pure physical pleasure.

Oksana is aware of her identity. As a model, she plays the role of a cool goddess under the spotlight, and any disturbance in her private life may become a gossip headline. She does not need an open boyfriend, but she is also a woman with normal physiological needs. Chen Xi is undoubtedly the best bed partner.

"You've rested enough, let's continue." Chen Xi lifted the quilt, patted the woman's waist, and pointed at her lower body.

Oksana understood what he meant, a hint of smile flashed across her eyes, and she slowly crawled back.

Chen Xi did not have too much emotion towards this woman, and Oksana also understood this. Their relationship was simple and almost naked. It was a pure physical transaction, like an impromptu performance without a script. It ended and no one had to take it seriously.

The only sounds in the room were heavy breathing and sucking.

Two lonely souls briefly meet in the night, and after dawn, they each return to their own world.

Two months later...

Many trams suddenly appeared on the streets of major cities in Australia.

The blue and white Nissan Leaf shines with a technological luster in the sun. They shuttle through the streets and alleys, becoming a new topic of conversation after dinner.

Occasionally, a few Model S whizzed past on the road, and their streamlined body and iconic gull-wing doors attracted a lot of attention.

But those who are careful will find that the license plates of these cars are the same, and they always appear on the busiest streets in the city center, which seems to deliberately create an illusion that Tesla is everywhere.

"Why are the sales of Model S lower than those of the Nissan Leaf from the island country? The battery life is obviously much worse!" Norbert shouted while pounding the table in the Carsales boss' office.

"According to the investigation, it is because the price of Model S is too high. Currently, the customers who buy Model S are all rich people. They buy them just for fun, and the cars are gathering dust in the garage!" The assistant replied in a low voice.

"Then tell me, why is Nissan Leaf selling so well? Their cars aren't cheap!"

"The customers who bought this car are drivers of Hail Hop and Hungry Dragon. Because charging is cheap, it is very suitable for food delivery and online ride-hailing. And their company also gave extra subsidies. In fact, the car itself is leased, which means that most of the interest is waived..."

"F********" Norbert kept swearing. "Boss, there's nothing wrong with this. Wouldn't it be a good way to liven up the tram market?" the assistant consoled him.

"Yeah." Norbert suddenly thought of the agreement with Chen Xi, and his anger suddenly subsided.

After a moment, he felt something was wrong again: "Real-Car is sold to drivers with subsidies, but we can't do that. Won't we still not be able to sell a car in the future? How are the insurance companies, battery manufacturers, and mining farms negotiating?"

"Boss, things are not going well with the insurance company because the technology of electric vehicles is not yet mature. I don't think it's necessary to talk to the battery manufacturers. According to the latest vehicle safety standards in Australia, all vehicles and their components, including batteries, must comply with national standards, otherwise they may be regarded as illegal modifications. The battery must comply with design rules such as ADR 79 (electric vehicle safety) and ADR 42 (fire safety) to ensure safety, compatibility and performance. Most electric vehicle manufacturers such as Tesla and Nissan require the use of their original batteries, otherwise the warranty may be lost. In particular, Tesla's battery replacement must be done through its authorized service center, otherwise it may cause incompatibility between the vehicle system and the battery management system..." the assistant explained again.

"Got it. Let's talk to Tesla and ask them to lower the price. We will also cut a portion of our profits and launch a price reduction campaign. Also, let's talk to Nissan and tell them that we can help them promote electric cars. The price is negotiable..." Norbert thought for a moment and gave instructions.

The assistant nodded and left the office.

"This Chinese guy is really cunning. He was so willing to cooperate with me before, but it turns out he was up to this! Humph, wait and see how I'm going to cut you off!" Norbert turned around leisurely in his boss chair.

On the opposite building, Chen Xi was sitting in the office playing on the computer.

"I said those stocks with green light are good stocks. Look, I'm making money! I'm even ranked first on the list." Chen Xi laughed, pointing at the computer.

Yuan Shuai standing next to him was totally confused. How could he get first place by just buying randomly?

"Is the second place Wang Qiansui? His profit is 312%. Let's see which stocks he bought."

"Let me see...Netspeed Technology...Qinlin Cement..." Chen Xi read out loud while looking at the screen.

Netspeed Technology is engaged in cloud computing, so it is natural for it to make profits. But he remembered that Qinlin Cement had plummeted in the past life, and whoever bought it would be unlucky. Many people wanted to buy the stock at the bottom, but it plummeted.

Yuan Shuai looked at it and said nothing, because he didn't trade stocks and didn't know much about the current situation of the domestic stock market.

"This person's name is similar to yours! President Jiucai!" Yuan Shuai pointed at the screen.

"Yeah, I've seen this guy's comments on the forum before."

"Then why don't you take a look at the current comments? They must be talking about you!" Yuan Shuai raised the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xi quickly opened the simulated stock trading forum, and sure enough, it was full of discussions about him.

"Is this guy really reborn? He bought only junk stocks, and he can still be number one?"

"I was reborn as a leek in the stock market and made a profit of 333%! That's amazing."

"This isn't rebirth as a leek, this is clearly rebirth to cut leeks!"

"As a veteran stock investor, I tried to analyze the operating logic of Reborn as a Leek in the Stock Market. I can only say that his vision and operation are too amazing!"

"What kind of analysis! This is clearly a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"

"Stop being so jealous, even a blind cat is better than you!"

Looking at the comments above, Chen Xi also left a message below: "You are right, I just bought it blindly."

This really ignited those people, some praised him and asked him to open a group to teach everyone how to trade stocks, while others scolded him for showing off.

Yuan Shuai looked at the screen full of comments and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Chen, you have become the stock god of the forum now!"

Chen Xi sent another message to Wang Qiansui, asking if he was the second place.

Sure enough, a call came directly from the other side: "Fuck, you are the first place! Who dares to steal my title of stock god?"

"As soon as I saw the name, I knew it was you. You are Rogers' eldest disciple. You are afraid that others don't know your master's name, right?" Chen Xi teased.

"How do you talk to me, your senior brother?"

"Who is your junior fellow apprentice? Rogers and I are friends and partners. According to seniority, shouldn't I be older than you?"

"Pooh!"

The two chatted for a while and then Chen Xi hung up the phone.

"How's the listing going?" Yuan Shuai asked.

"It's still under review, and the Collinshouse Consortium hasn't given me any news yet. Don't worry, a quick listing may not be a good thing. It's best to wait until there are problems with the stock price of Carsales before we take the lead." Chen Xi waved his hand.

According to his guess, the Collinshouse Group should be negotiating with the Broken Hill Group now. After all, there are financial backers behind Carsales.

If another listed car platform appears in Australia, it will have a huge impact on Carsales.

Exchange Centre is one of the landmark buildings in the centre of Sydney, adjacent to Circular Quay and Sydney Opera House. It is also the location of ASX, the largest stock exchange in Australia, located in the core area of ​​CBD with convenient transportation. The exchange provides trading services for a variety of financial products such as stocks, bonds, derivatives, etc.

The Exchange Centre has 31 floors. The first floor is the ASX trading hall, and above are offices for other financial institutions and companies.

At this time, in the conference room on the 28th floor, as Chen Xi expected, the Collins House Group was negotiating with the Broken Hill Group.

"There is no need for Real-Car to go public. The market in Australia is so small that there is no need for two car platforms. If there is one more, it will completely affect the share price of Carsales!" said a big-nosed man from the Broken Hill Consortium.

"Any industry needs competition. If one company dominates the market, the company will not be able to develop and the stock price will fall." Edward, representing the Collins House Group, responded bluntly.

"Then tell me, what is the advantage of Real-Car over Carsales?"

"The recent market performance shows that the Nissan Leaf sold by Real-Car is better than the Model S sold by Carsales!"

“That’s because the Nissan Leafs purchased were from their car rental company!”

"I've calculated that if we remove the vehicles purchased by Hail Hop and Hungry Dragon drivers, the number is still more than Model S! The overall sales are also more than theirs. The business model of Carsales is too old. In fact, it's not a bad thing that Real-Car poses a threat to it, don't you think?" No matter what the other party said, Edward could always refute it effectively.

"In fact, Carsales has already begun to layout the global market. Norbert has already visited the Russian, European and American markets. Real-Car has also gone overseas to develop its business. It is actually unreasonable for us to regard these two companies as localization platforms." At this time, a middle-aged woman from the Collins House Consortium said.

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense.

Everyone wants to make money anyway, so both sides just need to avoid violent clashes on their own soil.

You know, the markets in Europe, America and Asia are much bigger than Australia. (End of this chapter)
