Chapter 234 [233] Bet he is really evil

"Jingle Bell"

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Wei Qingfan breathed a sigh of relief again, stretched his waist, came to the window in the corridor, and looked at the freshmen and sophomores who were swarming out of the school gate in the square below.

"I'm so envious!"

Lin Zhaohai also came over and sighed, "I want to leave school too... It's a pity that we don't finish until ten o'clock."

Wang Kai next to him said, "No one cares about you if you leave at 09:30."

It has been two years since Wei Qingfan took care of him at the beginning of the second year of high school. He is much more honest than what Wei Qingfan remembered in his previous life, and now he has already shaken off the shadow of the past, and his relationship with his classmates is still good. It's not like people hated dogs like in the previous life.

Wei Qingfan closed his eyes and took a breath of fresh air for a while. After a while, he suddenly smelled a familiar aroma, opened his eyes, and saw Li Miaoyu coming to him.

She also walked down the corridor to look downstairs, and then turned her head to look at him. The light shone into her clear and pure eyes, which seemed to have a dreamlike brilliance. She gently puffed her cheeks, and said coquettishly with a trailing voice: " I want to go home too~"

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Okay, you go home, I'm sure you'll be on vacation."

Of course Li Miaoyu wouldn't really leave, she gave him a blank look.

Wei Qingfan turned his head and saw that the others were very sensible and didn't go this way, so he went to Li Miaoyu's side.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Li Miaoyu leaned over, and Wei Qingfan asked in a low voice, "Did you tell your parents about Bear Stearns?"

Li Miaoyu thought about it for a while, and then she embarrassedly showed a flattering smile, "I forgot."

"..."

In order to gain enough weight and make his future father-in-law and mother-in-law trust him, Wei Qingfan has been consciously showing his "foresight" during this time.

As early as the Spring Festival, that is, in February of the Gregorian calendar, as HSBC announced that the North American home loan mortgage business suffered huge losses, the subprime mortgage crisis that will sweep the world has already begun.

The real financial crisis will have to wait until the second half of 08, but by this time it has already begun to show its power.

In April, New Century Financial Corporation, the second largest US subprime mortgage lender, filed for bankruptcy because it could not pay its debts, along with several other mortgage lenders.

It's a pity that Wei Qingfan didn't remember the name of this company before, and he could only pass on the news that "the subprime mortgage crisis is coming, and the US stock market will fall".

This sentence has been fulfilled for a little while now, because it seems that the subprime mortgage crisis has indeed come, but the US stock market has not only not fallen, but is still rising.

Wei Qingfan is not surprised by this, because there will be a wave of peaks in the US stock market this year. He intends to establish prestige, but it is impossible to be right on the small details, which is a bit too monstrous.

If I remember correctly, the U.S. stock market will start to fall sharply in late July.

During this period of time, Bear Stearns, the fifth-ranked investment bank on Wall Street, will be a very easy sheep, and then it seems that after the stock plummeted, it was sold at an ultra-low price of more than US$3 per share. acquisition.

And after the college entrance examination next month, he seems to have a chance to catch up with the wool.

This is the first sheep he aimed at, and it should be acquired in early 08, and the stock will plummet in the two days after the acquisition.

The next few others can only be picked up later, such as Lehman Brothers, which has been mentioned frequently and is extremely well-known. This company went bankrupt directly, and it was almost worthless.

Of course, start-up capital is definitely needed, and deposits and handling fees are all money.

Li Miaoyu puffed her cheeks and said, "I'll tell them when I get home."

"It's okay, don't worry."

Wei Qingfan smiled at her, "Just pass it on inadvertently."

"Oh, I understand."

Li Miaoyu raised her chin confidently, and patted her chest lightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let them see that I told them on purpose."

Wei Qingfan gave her a thumbs up gesture.

They quickly went back to the classroom to continue working on the questions, and left one after another until it was close to ten o'clock. Many students who lived in the dormitory still did not leave, and had to wait until the lights were turned off at 10:30 before returning to the dormitory.

Wei Qingfan and Li Miaoyu went out of the school together, seeing her family's BMW was already waiting by the side of the road, so he waved to Li Miaoyu, and left with Cao Ze.

Li Shuqing and Zhao Yaquan both came, as usual, they sent Xie Yao home first, and then went to their own home.

Li Miaoyu sat in the back row and thought about it, then asked, "Dad, how are your stocks doing?"

"It's still going up."

Li Shuqing tried his best to make his tone seem cheerful and relaxed. This was the best year for him to buy stocks, because the stocks he bought were all rising.

This was originally a very happy thing, but the so-called not worrying about the few but the unevenness, compared with Wei Qingfan's rise, he couldn't be happier at all.

Especially when asked by my daughter, I couldn't be happier. I always felt that when she asked, she wanted to compare Wei Qingfan secretly, and then came to the conclusion that Wei Qingfan was better.

Which father can be happy?
"Why did you remember to ask this?"

Although he was upset, Li Shuqing still smiled and said, "Did that Wei Qingfan say something to you?"

"Ah."

Li Miaoyu was secretly happy and a little proud, thinking that the task given by Wei Qingfan was too simple, didn't Dad just ask it?

This is very casual, right?
She quietly pursed the corners of her lips, concealing her little complacency, and said in a very casual tone: "He watched the news a few days ago, it was the subprime mortgage crisis, and he said that many stocks were going to fall, of course he was talking about US stocks. , but he doesn’t buy it either, so he hopes it will fall.”

Zhao Yaquan exchanged glances with her husband, and asked with a smile, "Did he say anything specific?"

"Well...I think about it."

Li Miaoyu felt that she was getting more and more cunning, she had learned badly from Wei Qingfan, and she even knew to pretend to think about it.

She thought for a while, and then said: "It seems to be a company, what is it called...Bei what...oh, bei, bei...Bear Stearns!"

She pretended to be struggling, and finally remembered. She felt a little embarrassed to lie to her parents like this. Fortunately, the car was relatively dark, so she was not afraid of being seen by her parents.

"He said that this company will also be affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, and the stock price will go down."

She finally finished what Wei Qingfan asked her to say, and then moved forward, blinking her eyes innocently, "Dad, do you think what he said makes sense?"

Zhao Yaquan smiled and said, "Isn't he better at buying stocks than your father? Ask your father?"

"He's lucky."

Li Miaoyu's words belittled Wei Qingfan, but no matter how he heard it, he felt humbled for him, which made Li Shuqing even more depressed when he heard it.

However, Wei Qingfan showed amazing acumen on the matter of the subprime mortgage crisis, coupled with the results of buying stocks, Li Shuqing did not dare to underestimate it any longer, and thought for a while and said: "I have only heard of this company. The situation is not understood.”

He had never even heard of the name Bear Stearns before, but naturally he refused to say that in front of his daughter.

Doesn't that make it clear that he really doesn't know as much as Wei Qingfan, a brat?

"Oh."

Li Miaoyu nodded, "I'll just say it by the way...Mom, I'm a little hungry."

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"Hmm... cook instant noodles and ask for poached eggs."

"You're pretty picky."

"Hehehe~"

Back home, Li Miaoyu went back to the room first, waiting for her mother to bring the boiled noodles with poached eggs to the room. This is the right and benefit of candidates.

Zhao Yaquan chose some small green vegetables and prepared to cook instant noodles for his daughter, while Li Shuqing leaned against the kitchen door and pondered: "What do you mean this kid asked Miaomiao to tell me that Bear Stearns' stock is about to fall?"

Zhao Yaquan laughed and said, "If he says he will fall, will he fall?"

"That's hard to say."

Li Shuqing stroked his stubble and continued to ponder, "Daughter-in-law, let me tell you that I have grown up so much, half my life, do you know what is the biggest gain?"

"what?"

"That's... of course it's you, and then Miaomiao."

Li Shuqing quickly made a patch, and then continued: "Afterwards, I realized a lot of truths, people, sometimes you have to believe in evil! You don't believe in evil, and you can touch stones hard, can you touch it?"

Zhao Yaquan added water and started to boil, he laughed and said, "You mean, you think what Wei Qingfan said makes sense?"

"Whether it makes sense or not, he bought lottery tickets, and he borrowed money to buy lottery tickets, and he won, right?
"Then he bought a house... We all know this, the house will definitely go up, otherwise I wouldn't have to work so hard to start a real estate business, right?

"And then, he bought stocks again, and he bought stocks at the expense of his entire fortune, and studded directly..."

When Li Shuqing said this, he frowned and sighed, "I don't understand why this kid is so evil, but he bought stocks and made money... He wants to marry our daughter, so he sent this news on purpose. Me?"

"The pit is definitely not there, maybe he wants to show us his ability."

Zhao Yaquan smiled, "That child is too precocious, and Miaomiao is a careless person, I guess he has already understood that if he wants to marry Miaomiao, good grades are not enough, so I want to use this method to give him Increase your own chips, lest you beat the mandarin duck again."

"What is a mandarin duck?"

Li Shuqing stared at his daughter-in-law in dissatisfaction, and then said: "Then do you think that Bear Stearns... the stock will fall?"

Zhao Yaquan laughed and said, "Then how would I know? I don't understand this either."

Li Shuqing said: "Then let me put it another way, do you think he will lie to us?"

Zhao Yaquan thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "Probably not."

Li Shuqing nodded, but didn't speak. Zhao Yaquan looked at him a little strangely, seeing that he was thinking about something, he didn't bother him either.

After a while, when she was serving instant noodles, Li Shuqing suddenly slapped the door frame and said, "Then I've decided!"

Zhao Yaquan said angrily: "Be quiet, Miaomiao is reading."

"Oh oh."

Li Shuqing smiled awkwardly, and said, "I've decided."

"what?"

"Short!"

Li Shuqing said, "Did I tell you about shorting? You can make money even if you know that the stock will fall...Since this stock will fall, I will buy it and try it out."

Zhao Yaquan looked at him, smiled and said, "You decide."

"Then I'll give Shen Rong later...uh, give Liu Zhiyuan a call and ask his opinion. If possible, I'll transfer [-] to him directly...Will it be a little less? It's only [-] in US dollars ?”

"Let's try first."

Zhao Yaquan took the noodles to his daughter, talked to her again, and then closed the door and came out.

Li Shuqing was still on the phone, and she didn't bother. After a while, she went to wash the dishes that my daughter had finished eating, and cleaned them up. Li Shuqing finally finished the phone call.

"deal?"

"Well, I'll remit [-] to him tomorrow, and try first."

"Dollar?"

"Ah."

"Is it a little too much?"

Today, the exchange rate of the US dollar to the RMB is around 7.6, and 7 US dollars is more than [-] yuan.

"Anyway, the stocks have made some profits during this period, so let's show some courage... Although it is true that this is your classmate, but he is an American after all, and he cannot be looked down upon by foreigners."

Li Shuqing acted as if it was not just about my personal honor or loss, and continued: "Just bet this kid won't cheat me, bet he's really evil!"
