Chapter 30 Discussion and Telephone
Any densely populated area must have abundant water resources. As a cultural city with a history of more than 1,000 years, the seven rivers in Yuncheng District have shrunk significantly in the industrial era and lost the functions of drinking and irrigation, but the scenery of the city is still good. One of them is called Fengquan River. It forms a small lake when it flows through the depression in the northwest corner. The name of the small lake is very auspicious, called Fengle Lake. It has lush vegetation and pleasant scenery. Every spring and autumn season, many citizens come for a trip or autumn outing.
The employee community built by Sanjiang Commercial Vehicle Group in 1992 is located near Fengle Lake. Wang Chang'an's family lives in Room 602 in Building 11. He is a native of Yuncheng. His parents also have a house assigned by him. Therefore, he does not live together normally and only comes to see his grandson on weekends. When Lin Dawei called, Wang Chang'an was playing chess with his father who had just retired last year.
"Dawei, what's the matter?"
"Can the phone call in your office be called to Hong Kong?"
"Yes, we have a lot of business in Hong Kong and we often have to contact there. What's wrong?"
"I'm a little important thing, I want to call Hong Kong." Lin Dawei's tone was a little anxious, and he said without waiting for his response: "I'll go find you in about 20 minutes."
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Changan's father asked, "What's Lin Dawei asking for you?"
"It's nothing, I said I would borrow my office phone to call Hong Kong for a long-distance international trip." Wang Changan had a good relationship with his father, and did not hide it for his brother. He said with a smile: "Dawei is a romantic seed. He is not clear about a junior in college. After graduation, the junior worked in a provincial trust investment company. The provincial trust company is rich. At the end of the year, a group of employees will organize public travel to Hong Kong. It's her turn this year. I just went there a few days ago, and Dawei probably missed her."
Li Mei, who was knitting a sweater on the sofa and watching TV with her mother-in-law, stood up for Du Chunhua and frowned and said, "Chunhua is so nice to him. He is still flirting with flowers everywhere, and his conscience is eaten by dogs!"
"It's okay if you complain at home, don't talk nonsense outside." Wang Changan took a step and said, "Only the couple can solve the problem between husband and wife. We will only help you if we point fingers. Maybe we will even make you feel uncomfortable and not please both sides."
"Chang'an's words are reasonable." Wang's father ate Wang Chang'an's aggressive horse and slowly commented: "Lin Dawei likes to speak big, ambitious, not down-to-earth, but his character is good, he values loyalty and integrity, and will not be a slut behind his back. He is very relieved to be friends with him. As for being fickle, it is his housework. Even if it starts to make trouble, his father-in-law should be in charge. It is not the turn of friends to intervene."
"Are you hiding it from Chunhua so much?"
"What else can you do if you don't hide it? What if you tell her the truth as a tongue woman? Can you feel comfortable if they divorce?"
"You men are so shameless! You are so romantic and elegant outside. You can't let us women say a few words?" Li Mei threw away the sweater needle on her hand and said indignantly: "What's wrong with divorce? Chunhua wants to have a good appearance, a figure, a skill, and a kitchen. She is only 30 years old this year. It's very simple to find a good man after divorce! She just hides it from it, hides it from time to time, and then divorce after she has ruined her youth. Is it reasonable?!"
Wang Changan was silent. Seeing this, his mother-in-law quickly smoothed out and said, "Oh, you two are really a pair of firecrackers. You can explode at one point. Don't argue anymore. If you continue to argue, Lin Dawei has not divorced yet. You and Changan will divorce first."
"They are not young couples who just got married. Now Jinyan is 5 years old, so how can they get divorced?" Wang Changan lost interest in playing chess, stood up and put on a down jacket, and said, "I'll go downstairs to wait for Dawei."
Li Mei quarreled, but she still cared about what she should care about. She took a scarf from the bedroom and told her: "It's windy and snowy outside. You go and go early. Your parents are at home today. Don't just chat with Lin Dawei again, and you don't come back until midnight."
"I know, I'm leaving."
Wang Changan waited for about ten minutes in the shelter at the stairs, and saw Lin Dawei driving over. After getting on the bus, he saw Du Qiu and Lin Jinyan both present. He was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "You were not driven out by Chunhua, are you? Jinyan, did you make your mother angry?"
"I won't make my mom angry. My mom is doing rehearsals in the Children's Palace tonight and hasn't come home yet, so my dad and uncle, I came out to play for a while."
"Then have you had supper?"
"Of course I ate it. The dinner my uncle made was delicious, and it was even better than my mother. I ate two big bowls. Look, my belly was full of bulging."
"Oh, after eating so much, you're so good! Du Qiu, it turns out that you can still cook, so you have to try it next time." Wang Changan sat in the passenger seat, turned his head and greeted Du Qiu for a few words, took out a cigarette from his pocket and asked while lit it: "Dawei, what are you going to do when you call Hong Kong?"
"It's not that I want to fight, it's Du Qiu who beat Liang Jinyu, and ask her to help make an investment."
Wang Changan's hand lit a cigarette shook, half turned around, looked at Du Qiu and asked, "Do you know Liang Jinyu too?"
"My brother-in-law took me to meet you a few days ago."
Wang Changan was speechless at Lin Dawei's rough nerves. He took a sip of cigarettes and asked again: "What investment do you make?"
"Nikkei 225 Stock Index Futures."
Lin Dawei is not interested in finance and knows almost nothing about various professional terms. Wang Changan is different. He is one of the earliest investors in China. He also claims to be a technical school and likes to study finance books. Although there are no stock index futures in China, there are many overseas. The Dow Jones Industrial Index in the United States, the Nikkei Index in RB, the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong, etc. have related futures products. Therefore, many translated financial books have this content, and they have a little understanding of this. After hearing this, they asked enthusiastically: "Do long or short?"
"RB had a major earthquake a while ago, of course I was shorted."
"I remember RB was an earthquake that occurred on January 17. It's been five or six days since now. What should be down is almost the same. Are there any profits for short selling now?"
"Brother Wang, after the earthquake, Kobe was in a mess, and traffic and water and electricity were all interrupted. The specific losses could not be counted in a short period of time. The market was in a wait-and-see state. Therefore, the stock market did not fluctuate much at the beginning, but after five or six days of buffering, all kinds of data were almost out, so there will definitely be a big drop in the future."
"It makes sense, it makes sense... do you think the RB's earthquake damage will be very serious?"
"I have been in Osaka and Kobe for seven or eight years and have worked more than ten jobs. I dare not say that I have a lot of knowledge, but I still understand the local economic situation. According to my judgment, the losses will be far beyond the market's imagination."
"Is that true? If this is the case, then shorting can really make a big profit."
The Hanshin Earthquake is considered to be the second super disaster that changed the country's destiny after the Kanto earthquake in 1923. It is not an exaggeration, but a fact. You should know that before 1995, Kobe Port was the world's largest container port. The earthquake destroyed the dock. After the repair, the local Tokyo, China's Pujiang and South Korea's Busan had replaced it and had never recovered. After 20 years, it could not even enter the top 50.
As we all know, in the era of globalization, shipping is a barometer of whether a country or region's economy is prosperous. The decline of Kobe represents the decline of the entire Hanshin Industrial Zone. The Hanshin Industrial Zone was originally alongside the Tokyo Metropolitan Area and is one of the two major engines of RB economic development. After the earthquake, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises went bankrupt, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back, making the already troubled RB economy worse, and since then it entered a stagnation state that lasted for more than 20 years.
Of course, such prescient words cannot be said to Wang Changan, so Du Qiu can only use fictional experiences to talk about it. On the way to the office, he told several stories about RB bankrupt companies he saw online before traveling through time. Wang Changan listened very seriously. After getting off the car, he threw away his cigarette butt, stepped on it twice, and said with some annoyance: "What a pity! If I had known that you had such an understanding of RB economy, Liang Jinyu should have asked her to help with some investment before going to Hong Kong."
The reason why he said "is" is because Lin Dawei just took the initiative to reveal his previous activities - at noon on the day of the Hanshen earthquake, he heard Du Qiu's analysis and handed over the only 50,000 yuan left in the auto parts store account to Liang Jinyu and asked him to help make some investments.
Du Qiu was not only not disgusted with Lin Dawei's behavior, but was a little sad, because he knew that his mother was a very independent woman. In the two marriages, in addition to her daily expenses, she never interfered in her husband's finances. Therefore, her father did this not to hide private money, but to be in a difficult situation, and to take all his belongings out to gamble...
My father is a very face-loving person. Every year during the Spring Festival, he spends a lot of money in vain. This year, the situation is special. He has a "brother-in-law" who has been separated for more than ten years. It is a family matter to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown. He must have a grand ceremony. I guess in addition to the 50,000 yuan entrusted to Liang Jinyu to speculate, he has also borrowed a lot of money in the past few days...
In the 1990s, many domestic companies pursued high-end businesses, and wanted to do business that was related to their main business. Commercial Vehicle Group was no exception. Trucks, buses, buses, vans, motorcycles, electric vehicles, etc., almost all cars were done, but nothing was done well enough. Wang Changan was the sales section chief of the truck branch. Trucks were the second largest source of profits within the group after buses. Therefore, the office conditions were relatively good. Not only was the outside of the building bright and beautiful, but the interior decoration was also very particular. He took Du Qiu to an office with an area of nearly 40 square meters, pointed to a red phone on the desk, and said: "That can call international long-distance, Dawei, come and call, I don't know the number."
"Actually, I don't know either. Before coming, I called Liang Jinyu's parents and gave me a number in the hotel lobby."
Lin Dawei took out a note from his pocket and dialed the number on it. He had been in Guangdong for more than two years and knew a little Cantonese. He whispered for a while before he found Liang Jinyu through the lobby. After hearing his voice, Liang Jinyu was very surprised and said something with a little crying voice that revealed the secret: "Dawei, I miss you so much."
