Chapter 53 Brothers
"Your girlfriend?" Liu Qibing's whole body was shocked, and he seemed to be unable to accept what Chen Zhihua said at all. His eyes stared at Zhou Xiangjun behind Chen Zhihua.
Zhou Xiangjun was also surprised when she heard Chen Zhihua's words, but what followed was the surprise and sweetness in her heart. She managed to beat wildly in her heart, and made a move holding Chen Zhihua's hand, then met Liu Qibing's gaze and said, "Yes, he is my boyfriend."
At this moment, Liu Qibing finally had no choice but to accept the "reality". He quickly turned his face gloomy, glared at Chen Zhihua, and said, "I won't just forget about this matter!" After that, he turned around and left the venue very quickly.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to help you rescue me, so..." When Liu Qibing walked away, Chen Zhihua quickly turned around and said to Zhou Xiangjun, with a hint of guilt on his face.
After hearing Chen Zhihua's words, Zhou Xiangjun felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she let go of Chen Zhihua's hand as if nothing had happened, and smiled and said, "Thank you, if you weren't by your side just now, I really didn't know what to do!"
"He...who is he?" Chen Zhihua couldn't help but feel a little curious. How could he still see Liu Qibing in such an occasion?
"He is a trader of the National Reserve Bureau and has a lot of resources in his hands!" Zhou Xiangjun explained Liu Qibing's identity to Chen Zhihua, and explained his relationship with Liu Qibing and said: "Before, Liu Qibing was introduced to us by a friend of Liu Xiaoyu, but later he kept pestering me for some reason."
"I know why!" Chen Zhihua smiled slightly and said, "If I saw such a beautiful beauty, if I were to me, I would pester you!"
Although he knew that Chen Zhihua was talking witty, Zhou Xiangjun couldn't help but smile sweetly. After all, hearing Chen Zhihua's disguised praise can really make her feel happy
After a while, the meeting was about to begin. Chen Zhihua and Zhou Xiangjun quickly returned to their positions, and Chen Wenqiang soon came back to sit down.
Jiang Yang, the host of the forum, appeared on the podium. After he made a brief opening remark, he invited Shang Fulin, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, to come to the stage to deliver the opening remarks...
For the next half of the day, Chen Zhihua and the other two listened to the speech full of official flavor in a drowsy manner. Their focus was really impossible to gather. After all, the speeches of these people were too official. There was no actual content in the whole speech, and it was completely official. This made Chen Zhihua and the other three hurriedly left the international conference after the forum on the first day.
After two consecutive days, except for the dullness of the forum on the first day, Chen Zhihua and the other three finally heard a speech that made them feel a little tasteful on the second and third days. On the fourth day, it was finally Chen Zhihua and Zhou Xiangjun's turn to give a speech.
On this forum, industry insiders who spoke usually summarized the past financial markets and then began to analyze the future. Among these analyses, because the gold and copper futures markets are the hottest in recent times, many people also focused on them. Chen Zhihua listened carefully to the analysis of many "predecessors" and found that most of them believed that in the next year, the gold market would remain at a stable stage and then slowly fall back, while the copper market was generally bearish.
You should know that China's copper futures market is different from London LME. China's copper futures rise and fall will be greatly affected by the macro-control of the Chinese government. Now that China's copper price has gone "too high", it is very unfavorable for the development of the country. Under such circumstances, many people will think that when the international copper price is so high, they will definitely take some relevant measures, so it is inevitable that the copper price will fall.
Because everyone seems a little secretive about national policies and cannot express them clearly, many people become vague in the speech process, but they are the same persistent in the argument of "copper empty theory", which makes this Shanghai derivatives market full of the bearish atmosphere of copper futures.
It was Chen Zhihua's turn to come on stage. His youth was simply a highlight of the entire venue. When the host told Chen Zhihua's identity, everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on him. Everyone wanted to know what kind of views this young man, who is said to be a "famous" financial commentator in Hong Kong, could bring out on this forum!
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen!" Chen Zhihua greeted everyone with a graceful manner and began to express his own point of view. Chen Zhihua also briefly summarized the situation in the futures market in the past year like many people, and soon changed his tone and began to analyze the future.
"...The gold market will continue to rise, and the copper futures market will also rise accordingly, especially the copper futures market. I believe the target price of spot copper will reach its peak at US$6,000 per ton!"
Chen Zhihua's analysis and prediction were at the beginning, and it immediately caused an uproar in the audience. In the forum for the past two days, everyone heard the "Bronze Empty Theory". Until this time, Chen Zhihua suddenly made such a statement at a historical high price of US$4,000 per ton. It was really refreshing, and it could even be said to make people feel like they were making a fuss, just like talking about a fairy tale.
Chen Zhihua faced everyone's skeptical and criticized eyes, and he calmly continued to finish his words, and then slowly walked off the podium. During Chen Zhihua's speech, because his views were "different", he even left the stage without even having time to ask questions on a routine basis, which was really neglected.
The meeting host walked back to the podium and said in commenting on Chen Zhihua's speech: "It seems that a bullish person has come to our forum today!" This playful words with some ridiculous meaning immediately attracted the chuckling of everyone in the audience. Everyone looked at Chen Zhihua, who walked down the podium with sarcastic eyes from time to time. In their hearts, they already felt that this young man named Chen Zhihua was simply an ignorant joke. At this time, the voice of the bare-sided party occupied the absolute mainstream in the venue. Even if some people believe that the price of copper futures will rise, they don't have that much confidence to say it on this forum, because this will directly affect their future reputation, but Chen Zhihua did this without any worries.
"Andy Lau, are you so sure? I'm afraid..." As soon as Chen Zhihua returned to the seat, Chen Wenqiang said helplessly: "Now everyone knows that you are my partner. If you go up and say this, I'm afraid those financial owners will not dare to invest money in our Huaqiang."
Chen Zhihua just wanted to express his own opinions before, but he didn't expect so much. At this time, when he heard Chen Wenqiang say this, he couldn't help but stayed up for a while. After a while, he said with these apology: "Wenqiang, I didn't think of this...I'm sorry!"
"It doesn't matter, I have the same opinion as you anyway. It's better now. As long as your prediction is really right, then our Huaqiang Investment will become famous all of a sudden." Chen Wenqiang thought for a while, patted Chen Zhihua on the shoulder and comforted him.
Several people went up one after another on the forum. Their opinions all felt that copper futures would fall, so Chen Zhihua also felt that the truth was different and he did not plan to do it. He left the venue with Chen Wenqiang and Zhou Xiangjun early.
Three people walked out of the Shanghai International Conference Center and saw a young man in a well-inspired suit walking towards them. The young man glanced at Chen Zhihua and asked, "Is you Mr. Chen Zhihua?"
"I am Chen Zhihua!" Chen Zhihua looked at the young man in surprise and saw that he was tall and handsome, and looked similar to his age, but his expression seemed very mature, which was very inconsistent with his age. It can be said that he is the same type of person as himself.
"Can you... take a step to speak?" The young man nodded and looked at Chen Wenqiang and Zhou Xiangjun with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"If you have any, please tell me what you have. No matter what it is, it doesn't matter if they hear it." Chen Zhihua didn't understand the other party's purpose for a moment, and asked again: "Who are you?"
"I am Ye Zhengyu from Qiannan Investment!" The young man handed Chen Zhihua a business card, and then said to Chen Zhihua: "This time I came here, I hope you can meet someone with me."
"Go to meet someone?" Chen Zhihua took the other party's business card and looked at it. He saw the words "Ye Zhengyu, General Manager of Qiannan Investment Bank" written on it. He couldn't help but ask strangely: "Who is it?"
"My mother!" Ye Zhengyu said this in a deep voice, and then added another sentence that surprised Chen Zhihua even more: "That is your mother!"
"You..." Chen Zhihua looked at Ye Zhengyu. In an instant, he felt a little dazed by the other party's words, but he quickly calmed down and said to Ye Zhengyu: "Mr. Ye, I don't know you, please leave. My mother had died very early, very early!"
After saying that, Chen Zhihua ignored Ye Zhengyu's reaction and said, "Let's go", to Chen Wenqiang and Zhou Xiangjun, who had not yet come to their senses from Ye Zhengyu's surprising words just now, and hurriedly walked out of the gate of the Shanghai International Convention Center.
"Chen Zhihua, wait!" Ye Zhengyu suddenly rushed over and stopped Chen Zhihua, grabbed Chen Zhihua's collar from the front, and said to him loudly: "You have to go today, and you have to go if you don't go! Do you know that Mummy was so angry that she was already admitted to the hospital. She has been chanting your name these days. Since you don't even want to go and see her now? Are you still a human?"
Chen Zhihua felt ache, but he still made up his mind to push Ye Zhengyu away, almost roaring: "I don't have a mother like her, my mother has long been dead!" After that, Chen Zhihua no longer cared about Ye Zhengyu and wanted to leave as if he was running away.
However, in the past two days, due to the convening of the Shanghai Derivatives Forum, many reporters have been ambushed near the Shanghai International Convention Center. Seeing someone clashing here, three or five reporters guarding outside the door immediately surrounded him and took photos at Chen Zhihua and Ye Zhengyu. In fact, they didn't know anything. They just saw something that seemed to be of news value, so they took it first.
Chen Zhihua has become much more mature now. He has not answered any questions from the reporters. He quickly got into Chen Wenqiang's car and left in a hurry.
Along the way, Chen Zhihua didn't say anything. Chen Wenqiang and Zhou Xiangjun saw that Chen Zhihua was in a very bad mood, so the two of them were so tactful that they dared not speak. However, since they heard the conversation between Ye Zhengyu and Chen Zhihua before, many questions arose in their hearts, so the three of them were thinking about things silently, and the atmosphere seemed very dull.
When he returned home, Chen Zhihua hid in the house and slept alone without eating. After Chen Wenqiang and Zhou Xiangjun told Gao Yuying what he heard today, Gao Yuying thought about it and said, "I heard from Qi's mother that Andy Lau was very young and didn't know where his mother was. Later, after his father passed away, he was in the orphanage until someone adopted him. It seems that this time it was the mother who left him back to find him."
Chen Wenqiang and Zhou Xiangjun didn't know much about Chen Zhihua's life experience. At this time, after listening to Gao Yuying's words, they began to understand why Chen Zhihua was so depressed. Especially Zhou Xiangjun had an idea of sharing something for Chen Zhihua, but they didn't know what to do.
That night, after everyone fell asleep, Chen Zhihua walked out of the room alone, sat down on a chair on the balcony, and watched the sky quietly, which made the depression in his heart a little bit of fun. In fact, since he came back in the afternoon, he had not slept in the room, and couldn't help but think about what happened today and what the half-brother said to him. Although he hated his mother in his heart, he still felt a little unbearable when he heard that his mother was sick.
"Andy Lau, do you need me to chat with you?" Chen Zhihua thought about his thoughts and was a little confused. Suddenly, he heard Zhou Xiangjun's voice coming from the side. It turned out that Zhou Xiangjun also walked out of the balcony at some point.
"Okay, you can sit down!" Chen Zhihua nodded and asked Zhou Xiangjun to sit down beside him.
Zhou Xiangjun was worried about Chen Zhihua and had never slept. When she heard the sound of Chen Zhihua walking out of the room, she couldn't help but come out. At this time, she just wanted to be by Chen Zhihua's side. Even if she just sat quietly together, it was enough.
The two of them were silent for a long time and didn't say anything. Finally, Chen Zhihua spoke first: "Today... that should be my half-brother. I have lived with my father since I was a child. I have never seen my mother since I became sensible. My father has never told me why I don't have a mother, and I dare not ask..."
Chen Zhihua said softly, as if his words were spoken to the bright stars in the sky, making Zhou Xiangjun just want to listen quietly.
"Dad has always worked very hard. He said he would make a lot of money for me to use when I grew up, so since I was a child, my father has never had much time to accompany me, but at that time I really felt happy every day." Chen Zhihua smiled faintly and paused for a while, as if he was thinking about something, then continued: "Later, my father passed away and I became an orphan. It was not until my grandfather adopted me that I could feel the warmth of home again. From beginning to end, there was no mother in my life, not at all. But why did she appear again now, and why did she appear now so many years later?"
Chen Zhihua smiled bitterly and shook his head, continuing, "If I hadn't seen her, she would have lived perfectly in my heart, but now, can I still accept her? I can't, really can't, otherwise I would have no face to face my father, no..." While speaking, two clear eyes passed by Chen Zhihua's face unknowingly. The desire for his mother for many years has made him unable to control himself at this moment.
"Andai, don't do this. No matter what you want, I will always be by your side to support you!" Listening to Chen Zhihua's words in his heart, Zhou Xiangjun felt a little sore in his heart for some reason, but soon there was another strong heat that made her unable to bear it anymore. She went up and hugged Chen Zhihua tightly, "Andai, I like you, I really like you!"
Chen Zhihua didn't move, allowing Zhou Xiangjun to hold him. At this time, he really needed a warm embrace. Zhou Xiangjun made him feel so warm. He smelled the faint fragrance from his nose, and the depression in his heart seemed to disappear a lot.
The two of them were so tightly next to each other until dawn. Before they knew it, they both fell asleep in a daze until Chen Wenqiang woke them up.
In the next few days, Chen Zhihua and Zhou Xiangjun never attended the derivatives forum again. He accompanied Zhou Xiangjun to the headquarters of Morgan Stanley China, and asked Zhou Xiangjun to officially resign. After what happened last night, Chen Zhihua and Zhou Xiangjun became much closer. Although the two could not be considered formally dating, they knew each other's feelings in their hearts, and things happened naturally.
Chapter completed!
