Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 359 You think I am a master, but I will use science to convince you
On the third floor of the club, in a tea room.

Sandalwood curls up and the fragrance of tea overflows.

When Li Jiankun came over, Dong Haoyun stood up from a couch covered with yellow satin with the help of a woman who looked like a housekeeper.

There is also a female tea sommelier wearing a purple cheongsam. She is at the tea table on the side and is making tea quickly.

"Let's all go out."

The two women bowed and resigned, including the waiter who brought Li Jiankun.

Dong Haoyun seemed to remember something, pointed to the younger brother and said: "Go to the finance department to get two more months' salary."

The younger brother was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Dong!"

Don't forget to bow to Li Jiankun.

We Chinese people are honest!

His grandfather said that his ancestral home was Hu Bei.

After there were only two people left in the tea room, both parties looked at each other.

In Dong Haoyun's eyes, Li Jiankun really doesn't have the demeanor of a superior man. Considering his identity as a mainlander, his fashionable appearance and neither humble nor overbearing temperament are quite outstanding.

In Li Jiankun's eyes, there was really no way to connect this dying old man with the shipping king who conquered the ocean.

Let the children of future generations say that Ship King is afraid of Luffy's image.

Dong Haoyun smiled, invited him to sit down, and poured tea for him personally.

After exchanging a few words and learning that Li Jiankun was from Zhejiang Province, Dong Haoyun was surprised and said: "Then we are still fellow villagers!"

No, not even close.

This person’s ancestral home is Zhoushan.

After he became successful, he donated money to build a shipping college in his hometown.

Li Jiankun checked in when he went to eat seafood.

This is probably the benefit of living a long life. You can travel a lot, see a lot of things, and understand a lot of things.

With this level of contact, the atmosphere is much more lively and communication becomes more casual.

Dong Haoyun talked about the couplet that made his heart flutter.

"Mr. Li..."

"Since we are fellow villagers, Mr. Dong just calls me Xiao Li."

Dong Haoyun smiled knowingly and nodded. He had just asked about some things about his hometown, but he didn't inquire about the other party's "originality" at all.

After the smile on his face fleetingly disappeared, Dong Haoyun asked in a deep voice: "My time is running out?"

"Ah."

"when?"

"next year."

Boom!
The tea cup fell to the ground, and the warm tea splashed onto the wooden floor and Dong Haoyun's trouser legs.

But he didn't care, his withered hands and corners of his lips were trembling slightly, and there was a hint of extreme fear in his cloudy pupils.

At this moment, he was no longer a man who conquered the sea, nor was he a world-famous shipping king.

Just an old man who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

But I don’t blame him either.Anyone who knew he had only one year to live would not react much better than he did.

An ant is still alive, let alone a human being?
After all, he is a hero of the generation. Dong Haoyun took a deep breath and calmed down. At this moment, how much he hoped that the other party's words were wrong.

He pondered for a while and tried to verify it with another question.

"Then what does 'stealing the chicken but losing the rice' mean?"

After saying this, Dong Haoyun stared at Li Jiankun without blinking.

"Your career line."

Karma!
Dong Haoyun's face suddenly turned pale.

Frankly speaking, Li Jiankun was a little afraid that he would suddenly have a heart attack.Subconsciously, he glanced at the door, guessing that there should be someone at the door. After all, he was a stranger, sharing a room with this noble old man.

Can't help but breathe a little sigh of relief.

"Old man, please don't get excited. It may be God's will that you and I meet. Since I'm here, some changes may occur."

"Yes, yes!" Huang Haoyun responded repeatedly, with a touch of surprise on his face.

At this time, he already believed that Li Jiankun made three points.

Li Jiankun could see it to some extent, so he continued:
"You are doing something that you think is a good thing, but in fact it is not a bargain at all, but a real disaster. People who see through it will avoid it, but you are getting deeper and deeper. It is inevitable to encounter thunder."

Dong Haoyun looked at him steadily. What he said couldn't be more specific, as far as the tone of an ordinary master is concerned.It is about his behavior of bargain hunting in the shipping industry.

Really wrong?
"You said people who see through..."

"Mr. Dong is asking questions knowingly. Your biggest opponent is obviously taking the completely opposite path to you."

Dong Haoyun was slightly startled and said in surprise: "You actually know?"

"I majored in economics, and I know the famous shipping kings." Li Jiankun said with a smile.

This matter cannot be hidden. Whenever Dong Haoyun wants to investigate him, this old man is not a foreigner or junior like Charlie.

Besides, there is no need to hide it.

Do masters and academic qualifications conflict?

Later, there was a man called Master Yan who said that he was the one who put out the fire in Daxinganling. He had read some books and was a teacher.

It just went from the 80s to the 90s.

It needs to be mentioned that he is not pretending to be a master. What he talks about is all history, but others think so.

Good guy!
Dong Haoyun stared at him with bright eyes. You are a master and you know how to do economics. If any company gets you, wouldn't it mean that Liu Bang gets Xiao He?Li Shimin gets Changsun Wuji?

Li Jiankun was staring at him and said seriously: "I have no intention of working for anyone."

really……

Dong Haoyun secretly thought it was a pity that such a talented person who combines metaphysics and science would be willing to be inferior to others?
"Is Bao Yugang's approach really the right one?"

Li Jiankun chatted: "The golden age of the shipping industry has passed. The charter king obviously realized this early, so he came ashore early, took over the Wharf in one fell swoop, and entered the real estate industry."

Dong Haoyun frowned and said: "To be honest, I don't agree with this view in my heart. I have been involved in the shipping industry since the 30s and have experienced the ups and downs of this industry. My experience tells me that the current downturn in the shipping industry is just a kind of downturn. Cyclical regulation.”

If you agreed, you wouldn't be so rash.

Among the four major shipping kings in the port city, only Bao Yugang could foresee the crisis in the shipping industry in the 80s.

As a result, the Bao family turned a desperate situation into a business opportunity, sold out of the shipping industry in advance, and obtained a large amount of funds. During the financial crisis, they annexed nine listed companies, including Wheelock, and the family assets reached 400 billion. .

The other three companies, Xu Aizhou's company, were sold by his descendants at a low price.

Zhao Congyan's Huaguang Shipping went bankrupt and had to sell antiques to pay off debts.

Dong Haoyun’s Orient Overseas has a debt of 200 billion.Then he died.

Fortunately, he had two good sons. One was involved in politics and was unknown to future generations; the other spent several years, with the help of Huo Yingdong and Li Chaoren, to pay off his debts and survive.

This makes people have to lament the elite education.

Children from ordinary people's families are really incomparable. The debt of 200 billion is frightening to death.

Li Jiankun said: "I have something to say that Mr. Dong may not like to hear."

You said I was going to die, what could be worse than that?
Dong Haoyun signaled to him but said it didn't matter.

"Your vision is too limited. You only focus on the shipping industry and ignore the world development pattern."

Li Jiankun paused and said: "Why did the shipping industry boom in the past few years? You should know better than anyone else. It was because the Sui Canal was closed for nearly ten years, and the war caused oil prices to rise. What is this called cyclical regulation?
“For the shipping industry, it’s just a stroke of luck.

"After the reopening of the Sui Canal in 75, the shipping business plummeted and became increasingly sluggish. The impact of external factors on this industry can be seen.

"Do you think the situation will get better in two years?

"Then let me tell you, under the two oil crises in recent years, oil prices have risen sharply. Every one of the developed Western countries has experienced high inflation. The shortcomings of their rapid development for many years are gradually breaking out. Other countries are not the same. Mention, don’t you know yet about Eagle Country? The economy is in a mess.

“Under this situation, the country and its people have to tighten their belts to live a comfortable life, so how much money can they still spend to buy high-priced crude oil?

"The rise and fall of your shipping industry is closely related to these development trends. It rises and falls accordingly. This is the law!

“If you want the shipping industry to prosper again, you have to hope that these Western developed countries and major crude oil companies will resolve the economic crisis as soon as possible.

"Dare I ask, can you predict when they will solve it?"

Dong Haoyun felt sweat on his forehead.

If it were said before, he simply thought that the other party was exploring the future from a metaphysical point of view.So now, what the other party said is solid science.

With an incomparably broad international vision and professional background in economics, he has clearly seen the overall decline of the Western economy and analyzed that there is no possibility of the shipping industry recovering in the short term.

Believe it or not!
Dong Haoyun took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his forehead. He did have limited vision and didn't know much about the economic problems of other Western countries, but he knew very well about Eagle Country.

As the other party said, the economy is in recession and is likely to collapse.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to win many large-scale local companies in Eagle Country in the past two years.

You know, for the people of Eagle Country, this is a shame.

"I was wrong!"

Dong Haoyun suddenly woke up, looked at Li Jiankun with endless gratitude, and said sincerely: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"
