Rebuild 2005

Chapter 243 [242] The incomprehensible son-in-law (yet)
Wei Qingfan originally planned to remind Li Shuqing that he could prepare to leave the venue today, but he didn't expect that the other party would remind himself first, and combined with the other party's move to enter the real estate industry on a large scale in the past two years, he couldn't help feeling secretly, "The autumn wind is slightly moving, and the cicadas are aware of it."

However, why can cicadas feel first?Naturally, I got the message from Qiufeng.

At the same time, he felt certain in his heart, although Li Shuqing seemed to be a bit unhappy about his hooking up with his daughter, but judging from this reminder, at least he could be optimistic about himself.

He nodded and said with a smile, "I've been thinking about this too recently, and I'm not sure about the timing. Thank you for your reminder."

Li Shuqing smiled and said, "Don't worry too much about this. Anyway, take your time, and it doesn't mean that you will sell them all at once."

"Ah."

Wei Qingfan nodded, looking serious and receptive, and was about to follow this topic when Li Miaoyu came back with picked and washed grapes on a white porcelain plate.

"Dad, try it, it's very sweet."

She first handed one to Li Shuqing, Li Shuqing took it, and then saw that she handed another one to Wei Qingfan, who also took it, so the good impression she had just had about Wei Qingfan disappeared immediately.

Wei Qingfan bit the grape, the sweet and sour juice spilled out in his mouth, spit out the skin and put it on the side of the tea table, and was about to speak again, Li Miaoyu asked again: "What are you talking about?"

His topic was interrupted again, so he had to answer: "Stocks, uncle reminded me that I can prepare to cash out after a while."

The snow-white puppet cat came over leisurely, jumped on the sofa, Li Miaoyu hugged it into his arms, and asked Wei Qingfan casually and curiously: "Aren't you ready to sell it?"

Li Shuqing's expression became more and more depressed.

Wei Qingfan was also a little helpless, and said with a smile: "I didn't make up my mind at first, thanks to uncle reminding me."

Li Miaoyu looked at it deliberately to annoy Dad, and then used this method to make Wei Qingfan favor him, turned to look at Dad, then said "oh", then nodded, suddenly understood, and "hee " smiled, and said to Wei Qingfan: "My father is still very powerful, right?"

"Ah."

Wei Qingfan nodded sincerely in agreement.

Li Shuqing's expression was much better, and he asked his daughter, "Is your mother ready?"

"almost done."

Li Miaoyu nodded, and then explained to Wei Qingfan: "My mother said to prepare first, it's still early, so there's no need to cook so early."

Wei Qingfan nodded with a smile, and was thinking about how to bring the topic back, Li Miaoyu asked again: "Didn't you say you had business with my father before? Did you say so?"

Li Shuqing smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Wei Qingfan also didn't know if Li Miaoyu was taking credit for his merits, but fortunately he could talk along the topic and said with a smile, "It's nothing else, I just heard Li Miaoyu say that you have a friend who works on Wall Street? "

Li Shuqing was a little surprised, glanced at him, then nodded and said: "Yes, her mother's classmates, the husband and wife, both work in Wall Street...Why, are you also interested in US stocks?"

Wei Qingfan nodded with a smile, and said, "I want to short U.S. stocks."

Li Shuqing suddenly thought of his $[-], looked at Wei Qingfan, and asked, "Do you think the US stock market will fall?"

Wei Qingfan nodded earnestly, and said: "I have read a lot of reports and materials recently, and I feel that the previous bubble was too big, mainly due to subprime mortgages. I feel that financial companies, especially banks with subprime mortgage business, should have all stocks. Fall, like Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup..."

These are a few companies that came to mind recently through news reports, but just in case, Lehman Brothers, which was confirmed to be bankrupt, and General Motors, which was reorganized in bankruptcy, were not mentioned.

Seeing his serious look, Li Shuqing was silent for a while, not knowing how to explain that he had bought short Bear Stearns shares, but the stock was still going up.

To be honest, it's a bit embarrassing, but telling nonsense seems even more embarrassing...

At this moment, Zhao Yaquan came out of the kitchen and walked over, Wei Qingfan got up again and greeted him, Zhao Yaquan smiled and asked him to sit down, and sat down beside Li Miaoyu himself.

Li Shuqing also gave up the idea of ​​covering it up, and said with a smile: "I also noticed the subprime mortgage news a while ago, and I invested [-] yuan to buy short Bear Stearns stock..."

Wei Qingfan was stunned for a moment, and naturally understood why Li Shuqing would buy short, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and didn't know how to evaluate his future father-in-law's behavior for a while.

First of all, what is certain is that this kind of action is undoubtedly very action-oriented, very courageous, and can seize the opportunity
——This is naturally related to his wealth and confidence, but Li Shuqing's own character can also be seen.

But at the same time, it can also be said that this behavior is impulsive, because it sounds too unreliable.

After a little understanding, the U.S. stock market has been rising since the Internet bubble, and U.S. stocks have cycles. At this time, most people, including professionals, are still optimistic.

This kind of optimism certainly has professional factors, but it actually affects and represents the attitude of most people.

Li Shuqing bought short because of a student's choice, in anyone's eyes, it was irrational.

But for Wei Qingfan, he still felt somewhat trusted.

Then I heard Li Shuqing continue: "After I bought it, the price has been going up."

Li Miaoyu thought about it for a while before realizing that a rising stock meant losing money. She couldn't help looking at Wei Qingfan suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say it would go down?"

The relationship between the two of them had already been confirmed, so she didn't question Wei Qingfan's judgment because of this, she was just expressing her doubts.

Zhao Yaquan was a little funny, but she followed her husband and looked at Wei Qingfan.

Wei Qingfan smiled calmly: "Maybe the impact is not that great, maybe everyone hasn't understood the real situation...their company's financial report hasn't been released yet, right?"

The second-quarter earnings report should be released in June.

When Li Shuqing went into real estate, he definitely had the idea of ​​going public, and when he went to buy US stocks, he would also learn about it. Of course he knew these things, so he nodded and said: "It should be released in the middle of the month."

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Maybe it will fall then."

Li Shuqing still had this bit of patience. In fact, what he cared about was not the short-term book loss and the margin call due to the stock price rise, but that he felt very shameless in front of Liu Zhiyuan and Shen Rong.

Of course, Wei Qingfan couldn't be blamed for this, but he was more curious about Wei Qingfan's confidence and determination, and asked with a smile, "Do you still have research on this?"

"No, I guess."

There is no way to explain this matter, and Wei Qingfan is not going to explain it, because people can "make up their minds", arrogance, luck... anything can be explained.

Only novels and movies need to pay attention to logic, but in real life, there is only one sentence "happened", and existence is a reason, and there are many more outrageous things.

Of course, the lack of explanation here is just that there is no way to give a convincing basis, and it does not mean that the attitude is perfunctory and proud.

Wei Qingfan carefully pieced together a very naive and rough logical chain based on the "subprime mortgage", "bubble", "US stock index" and other fields that he learned from reading books.

A high school student who just finished the college entrance examination, in the home of a county-level leader, faced her and a self-made home who was regarded as the No. [-] figure in the county and even the city. , it's ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

Although there is a magical operation on the stock, in the eyes of Li Shuqing and Zhao Yaquan, it is undoubtedly luck, otherwise Li Shuqing would not say "believe in evil", so it looks a little funny.

It's just that it's not easy to show Wei Qingfan's face, and his daughter is watching.

Of course, besides that, as two amateurs, they didn't really believe in Wei Qingfan, but they didn't know how to refute it.

Because neither of them understand.

Li Miaoyu's feelings are obviously completely different from those of his parents. Seeing Wei Qingfan talking in front of his parents, and his parents are also very convinced, he is full of joy, and the already blind trust has been strengthened a bit. point.

In order to avoid showing off and hide his clumsiness, Wei Qingfan didn't say too much, explained briefly, and said: "I only know that I can buy short, but I don't know how to operate it, and I don't have an account, so I want to Ask uncle and aunt if they can help introduce... It would be even better if uncle is willing to join us."

Seeing that Li Shuqing and Zhao Yaquan were staring at him, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "The people on Wall Street are all predators, and I have no relatives or reason, I am a little scared."

Zhao Yaquan and Li Shuqing naturally understood that this was just an excuse, because it was just a short sale, and there was absolutely no shortage of channels for money, and even Gou Shiyun had the same way to do it.

This is more like a group of strong self-confidence, thinking that this can make money, and want to pull their family to make money together, so as to give him extra points and achieve the purpose of reducing obstacles between him and Miaomiao.

Both husband and wife were a little surprised. On the one hand, they were surprised by his precocity at a young age, and he knew how to take care of people's face. On the other hand, they were naturally surprised by his self-confidence.

Zhao Yaquan did not speak, but looked at her husband.

Li Shuqing thought for a while and asked, "How much are you going to invest?"

"All."

Wei Qingfan's tone was casual, as if he didn't have more than 3000 million yuan, three yuan, 30 yuan, "Just like my uncle said, I will slowly cash out the stocks in the next few months, and invest as much as I have. money."

Rao Li Shuqing and Zhao Yaquan have a lot of money, and they were also shocked by his few words.

More than 3000!
The couple looked at each other and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes, then Zhao Yaquan persuaded with a smile: "Isn't this a bit too hard? You have so much money, even if you save it in the bank, you will have a large income every year. There's no need to take such a risk."

Li Shuqing also said with a smile: "The thing about investment is that you can't put all your eggs in one basket. There is really no need to take such a risk."

Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "How did I get my money? You all know, uncles and aunts. Anyway, it is not my money. If I lose it, I will lose it. Anyway, I am still young, and my parents can raise it again." Even if I lose everything for a few years, it doesn’t matter, I should go to school, I should work.”

The reason is this, but who once owned wealth that is absolutely absolute for ordinary families, and sees it disappear, who can deal with it calmly?
However, looking at Wei Qingfan's appearance, it didn't look like he was lying, and he didn't lie like that at all.

The purpose of his coming is to make a good impression and build a good relationship. If he chooses this method, the only result that can achieve his goal is to make money.

Bragging is completely pointless at this point.

So is this kid blindly confident, or has he always looked up to him, and he didn't think about it at all, just for a moment?
Those precocious and steady things I saw before are just illusions?
Li Shuqing felt that he had no other skills in half his life, and he still had some experience in reading people, but at this moment, he couldn't see through the bastard kid in front of him who had just graduated from high school.

Can't see through, can't understand.
