Chapter 661: The ten-year cycle, cutting the leeks(1/2)
Chapter 661: A cycle of ten years, cutting leeks
At the Xiangjiang Pier in the early morning, a thin layer of mist lingered.
With a whistle blowing, the "Snow Wolf" slowly sailed towards the open sea.
Populus euphratica arrived in Xiangjiang last night.
For some time now, Hu Yang has been having trouble sleeping at night because he is very concerned about the trend of US stocks.
Chen Jialin took advantage of the weekend and simply took Populus euphratica out for vacation. Along with him were Xia Bing and Lu Yali, as well as Gao Mingkang and others who had just returned from Europe.
"Mr. Hu, breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat it now?"
The others were still in their respective rooms. Hu Yang stood on the side of the ship and looked at the sea in the distance. It wasn't until Wu Xinhui spoke that he noticed someone walking behind him.
"Well, let's go eat. I got up early in the hotel today. You can ask someone to call Mr. Xia, Mr. Gao, and Mr. Lu."
Hu Yang nodded with a smile and walked towards the restaurant.
Wu Xinhui immediately went to arrange the service staff on the yacht and notify everyone to come for breakfast.
"Mr. Hu, there is a new chef on the yacht? Today's Cantonese morning tea is very authentic, especially the durian buns are delicious."
Xia Bing looked at the dots on the table and couldn't help but laugh. Even though she is a northerner, she has been in the south for a long time and actually likes the taste of Cantonese morning tea.
"Haha, Mr. Xia is indeed a gourmet. But this chef is not a newcomer. He was hired by Mr. Chen himself."
Hu Yang glanced at Chen Jialin and laughed out loud.
Chen Jialin attaches great importance to this vacation. This chef was temporarily invited by him from a famous restaurant in Xiangjiang.
Chen Jialin also smiled, waved his hand and dismissed the waitress in the restaurant, saying: "Eat more if you like, no matter whose cooking is it."
Breakfast started in this happy atmosphere.
After everyone had finished eating, a few people sat here drinking tea, and the topics they talked about were not so easy.
"This year should not be a big problem, but by next year, I guess everyone will have a difficult time. Take our Mingkang Communications as an example. It is difficult to judge the domestic business situation for the time being, but the situation in the international market is not optimistic."
Gao Mingkang put down the teacup in his hand and sighed.
The financial crisis sweeping the world, although it started in North America, has had a serious impact on various economies around the world.
North America has begun to discuss economic rescue plans, while Europe is still in the evaluation stage.
But now that the trend has been formed, it is not so easy to completely reverse it.
"Mr. Gao, although this crisis has an impact on us, it is not necessarily a bad thing. I heard that a new economic stimulus plan may be launched in China soon. Maybe the situation is not as bad as imagined."
Chen Jialin estimates that although there may be temporary fluctuations in the number of orders from Nishite Technology, it will not affect the fundamentals.
As far as he is concerned, he is still confident in completing next year's performance growth plan.
"Everyone, let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, everyone already has a plan to deal with it. Just execute it according to the plan."
Lu Yali has stayed in Europe for a long time and has long been accustomed to the slow economic development in developed countries.
She feels that the future is more likely to be a bad era. As the engine of the global economy, China will not be much worse no matter how bad it is.
Xia Bing looked at the people talking, as if he had walked into a breakfast meeting. The table full of sumptuous food did not dispel these people's obsession with work.
But it doesn’t matter, we are on vacation anyway, so everyone can talk about whatever they like.
A breakfast lasted for almost two hours. After that, it was free time. Everyone readjusted their mentality and focused on the vacation.
Taking advantage of the fine weather, Xia Bing and Lu Yali went to swim in the swimming pool on the top floor. In this season, the temperature is moderate and the ultraviolet rays are not that strong. It is a good time to sunbathe.
Hu Yang and Chen Jialin accompanied Gao Mingkang to fish for a while, but they never caught anything, so they fixed the boom there, ran aside and lay on the chairs, playing fish.
Hu Yang was drinking coffee comfortably. He didn't know how long it had been since he had been so relaxed.
"Brother Hu, do you think we will one day become a money-making machine? We think about revenue and profits all day long, and thus forget the joy of life?"
Chen Jialin actually felt the pressure of the financial crisis. In these days, everything is about globalization. Under the crisis, it is really difficult to be alone.
Hu Yang sighed and glared at Chen Jialin.
It took a lot of effort for him to relax himself. This guy was talking about something bad, but he wanted to talk about such specious things.
Happiness is actually different for everyone. It even differs for everyone at different stages.
So, what is there to say? People like them solve the problems faced by the company and survive the crises of the company, and then they can be happy.
Between gains and losses, there are both ups and downs, so why only care about a certain feeling.
"Mr. Chen, I feel that I am happy now if I don't think about anything. You don't have to worry about anything. There will be a road to the mountain. Isn't that how life goes in a cycle?"
Hu Yang really doesn’t think there are any obstacles that he can’t overcome. In fact, in his memory, after the subprime mortgage crisis in North America, the country has embarked on the fast track of development.
In addition, in the next few years, countries around the world will adopt quantitative easing policies in response to this crisis. In less than two years, everything will return to how it was before.
However, they are similar in appearance but not in spirit. The far-reaching impact of this crisis may last for more than ten years. This is a topic for later, so we can not mention it for now.
In this life, the time of crisis has been advanced, but the general trend, Populus euphratica, feels that it will not change. Therefore, there is no need to think too much now, and we will wait until now.
Chen Jialin frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly grinned:
"Yes, with you here, why should I think so much? It seems that I have never seen any difficulty that you can't solve.
Brother Hu, I have already made arrangements for what you told me a few days ago. After two days of playing, I will go to Europe in person, so don’t worry."
Hu Yang nodded. What he admired was Chen Jialin's optimistic and open-minded character. This guy would not worry too much about big things. In his words, if the sky falls, there will be tall people who can hold it up.
Afraid of birds...
"There's no need to be in such a hurry. You can settle the company's affairs before you leave. I don't have time to go to the company every day. In addition, Mr. Chen, don't rush to take action when you go over there. Just get on the line. I guess it will be done soon."
As this crisis deepens, more and more companies will be unable to survive."
Hu Yang smiled slightly, and all the pressure in his heart suddenly disappeared.
This time, the biggest significance of decisively shorting U.S. stocks is actually to cast stones to find the right direction, not to make money.
His ultimate goal is to take advantage of the financial crisis that has spread across the world to harvest some high-quality assets, especially some high-quality European companies.
In fact, people in North America have always played like this. There is a cycle of about ten years, interest rate hikes, interest rate cuts, quantitative easing, liquidity tightening... In this cycle, leeks are harvested one after another.
In the past, Hu Yang didn't have this ability. Now he is a rich man. If he doesn't experience the joy of harvest, wouldn't it be a pity for life?
"Hey! Brother Hu, I don't even know how your brain is developed, why do you think longer than us? Forget it, let's not mention it. I will probably make a fortune by following you this time, and by then the world will
When investing, don’t forget to take me with you.”
Chen Jialin secretly owns an investment fund registered in London, England. Not many people know about it, but it is not a secret among the senior leaders of the Huijia Department.
For example, Gao Mingkang invested a lot of money in Chen Jialin's investment fund. Xia Bing, Yan Hanzhang, Meng Rusong, Lu Yali, Xu Younian, Mu Shaoqing, Lin Yan... and most of the senior Huijia officials
, and they all invested more or less funds in it.
Hu Yang naturally knew that Chen Jialin had set up this fund, but he never participated, but had an attitude of being happy to see its success.
For example, this time, Chen Jialin also joined Hu Yang in shorting U.S. stocks. Of course, the amount invested was not as large as Hu Yang, but it still seemed to be 100 million US dollars.
Instead of diversifying his investments like Hu Yang, he bought all put options.
Now that the U.S. stock market has been plummeting, he has also seen the dawn of victory, and plans to continue to follow Populus euphratica to reap the benefits.
Hu Yang rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense? I don't plan to take you to play with me, why do I have to ask you to come forward?"
"Hehe, I know Brother Hu is the most interesting! Let's have a few drinks at noon. I have prepared a lot of good things this time. You can try it after dinner."
This time we went overseas, not only the chef, but also the top ingredients were prepared by Chen Jialin.
Anyway, Populus Hu couldn't defeat him, and besides, he really lacked energy recently, so before going on vacation this time, he left all the preparations to Chen Jialin.
Two days of vacation is really short.
But for Populus euphratica, it is enough. Relax on the sea, chat with Chen Jialin, Xia Bing and the others, go fishing, play cards, wash away the fatigue, and then return to the noisy city.
And I can devote myself wholeheartedly to my work.
“Mr.
."
After the two-day vacation, Hu Yang called Xia Bing to his office as soon as he went to work.
This matter was not disclosed to Xia Bing at sea, mainly because she did not want to affect her mood on vacation.
Hu Yang spoke and handed Xia Bing a stack of information.
All the information contained details of some European companies, which Chen Jialin, Gao Mingkang, Lu Yali and others spent a long time and a lot of money to collect.
Xia Bing was a little confused, but did not ask questions immediately, but patiently read the information.
"Boss, do you mean you want to take advantage of these enterprises?"
Xia Bing has been following Hu Yang for more than a day or two. She still has a tacit understanding and knows what the boss wants or doesn't want to do.
"With so many companies, let alone us, it is impossible for the entire country to buy them all back. This is just a range. We will discuss how many companies can be purchased at that time."
Populus euphratica is not a fairy, so naturally we don’t know which companies will have problems and will be willing to sell. But it is always a good thing to have a scope in advance, which can save a lot of time and energy.
"Okay, I understand."
