Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 350

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Why would I refuse Mr. Li's invitation? I was about to ask you some questions."

Yi Weidong's assets now far exceed Li Fuzhao's. From the last charity auction, it can be seen that Yi Weidong lacks contacts.

Yi Weidong once again borrowed 3000 million from the Bank of East Asia. After completing all the procedures, Li Fuzhao and Yi Weidong went to a nearby tea room and asked for a private room. After tasting Kung Fu tea, Li Fuzhao chatted about some interesting stories of some businessmen in Xiangjiang. .

Yi Weidong listened with gusto to the stories about the fortunes of some big companies, mixed with some gossip, and stories about the bosses of the underworld.

After chatting for a while, Yi Weidong intentionally asked about the Xiangjiang Club's stock speculation. Now that Bank of East Asia is a listed company on the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange, Li Fuzhao is familiar with the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange, also known as the Xiangjiang Club. Popularized the current stock market.

Finally, he asked: "Brother Yi also wants to speculate in stocks?"

"Yeah, I'm very interested in stocks, but I've inquired about them. Now buying and selling stocks requires an introducer. They all trade in English. I have always had nowhere to ask for advice, and I don't even have the qualifications to buy and sell."

Li Fuzhao wanted to sell well, and said, "It's a small matter. The Bank of East Asia was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1921. I'll just be your introducer."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, I'm just worried that I can't find an introducer!"

"It's easy to say, at Duke's on Xuechang Street in Central at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will take you through the formalities, and you can buy and sell stocks on the same day."

"Okay, you must be there on time."

Yi Weidong and Li Fuzhao met each other late, and they chatted for a long time before they separated. Li Fuzhao emphasized once again that they would meet at the Duke's House at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Yi Weidong took Luo Caijing to the Duke's Building on Xuechang Street in Central, where the only Hong Kong Stock Exchange is located on the top floor.

After waiting for a long time, Li Fuzhao also brought his assistants to greet him. Li Fuzhao took Yi Weidong through the formalities. The Xiangjiang Club only allows members to participate in the trading of stocks and enters the trading hall. Outsiders are not allowed to enter and there is no glass wall to watch.

Stocks can only be bought and sold through the securities companies of members. Yi Weidong was taken to the next door of the trading hall to meet his own stock agent trader Miao Xingsheng. Li Fuzhao introduced: "I also buy and sell stocks through Cong Jianlin Mister did it."

After the two shook hands, Yi Weidong said, "I will trouble Mr. Jianlin from now on."

"You're welcome, Mr. Yi has chosen the stock and just call me."

Then he asked his assistant A Bin to give Yi Weidong a copy of the materials, and went in from Jianlin to prepare them.

Yi Weidong looked at the list and now Xiangjiang will have 68 stocks for trading, most of which are companies that he has never heard of. Remember Matheson, Huangpu Dock, these are the industries of Matheson.

Hutchison Matheson and Whampoa Dockyard are still two independent listed companies, which are the predecessors of the Hutchison Group formed by Li Chaoren in the future.

Landmark and Wharf are also on the list. They are still subsidiaries of Jardine Matheson Group. It will be several years before Bao Yugang acquired Landmark. Now the ship king is still struggling to make money at sea.

There are only two banks among the listed companies, and the Bank of East Asia is one of them. There are also some public utility companies below, such as the Milk Company, which owns multiple milk farms and monopolizes the milk supply of Xiangjiang.

The two power generation companies CLP Power and Hongkong Electric, the latter was later acquired by Superman.

There are also monopoly enterprises such as Star Ferry, Hong Kong Telephone, Xiangjiang Aircraft, and Xiangjiang Tramway.

Yi Weidong handed the 2000 million cash check to A Bin and said, "Deposit the money into my account first, and find me a copy of yesterday's stock quotation."

"Good Mr. Yi."

Buying and selling stocks is very cumbersome now. At the front of the trading hall is a large blackboard, which is marked with the name and code of the stock. Those who buy and sell must write the price and lot size on the blackboard below, and the assistant calls the person in the hall. Traders, traders come to the blackboard and cross out the quotations on the blackboard, representing the buying and selling of stocks. All these are verbal agreements. In the era of sleepwalking computers, all deliveries will be made after the market closes in the afternoon, or Delaying the handover until the next day is fine.

After paying the money, the buyer will receive a physical stock, a magazine-sized page with the company name printed on it, the number of shares on the sheet, and company seals, government seals, etc.

Yi Weidong soon got the quotation of the latest stock. At this time, the stock was really cheap. Taking Jardine as an example, it was listed at 61 yuan in 16, but now it is more than 30 yuan.A share of the milk company is close to 40 yuan.The total turnover of Xiangjiang Club can reach about [-] million every day.

Li Fuzhao looked at the recent turnover statistics and said in surprise: "I haven't paid attention to the stock market recently. Now the market is much more active than in the first half of the year. At that time, the average daily trading volume was 400 million."

Yi Weidong asked: "You mean the stock market is very active now?"

Li Fuzhao said: "Yes, I remember that the total transaction volume in the first half of the year was less than [-] million. How much is it now?"

Later, I asked Cong Jianlin's assistant A Bin, and A Bin replied: "It has improved a lot in the past two or three months, and the transaction volume from this year to last week has exceeded 7 million."

Yi Weidong and Li Fuzhao glanced at each other, knowing that the stock market is a barometer of the economy, and the increase in trading volume in the stock market can also indicate that the economy is showing signs of improvement.

This is not the time for discussion. Yi Weidong quickly selected five stocks: Jardine Matheson, Whampoa Dockyard, Milk Company, Taikoo Dockyard, and Wharf. He wrote down the buying range price, and handed the list to his assistant A Bin, saying: "Buying these five stocks in this range, the average amount of each stock is 400 million."

Yi Weidong suddenly felt that it was too little for him to spend 2000 million yuan to buy stocks. Now is the time to buy the bottom. When A Bin arrived, he called Cong Jianlin to place an order.

Yi Weidong asked Li Fuzhao, "I wonder if your bank has a stock mortgage business?"

"Stock collateral?"

Li Fuzhao shook his head and said: "There is no mortgage for this stock yet, because the number of people buying and selling stocks is relatively small, and the price of this stock fluctuates violently, so the bank has not started this business yet."

After thinking about it, Yi Weidong wrote another check for 3000 million. When A Bin came over and handed it to him, he increased the amount of the stock to 1000 million.

Li Fuzhao asked curiously: "Brother Yi, why don't you buy our Bank of East Asia stock?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said: "If possible, I would like to buy shares in your bank. If there are shareholders who want to sell shares, please contact me, and I will take over."

Li Fuzhao smiled and said, "I thought you didn't like our bank? Don't worry, I'll ask later, and I'll let you know if anyone wants to make a move."

Because there are physical stocks, you can also choose to trade directly outside the exchange, and the company only recognizes physical stocks, and whoever owns them is the shareholder.

The 5000 million that Yi Weidong paid was all the funds from the recent sale of the ballpoint pen, and after the transfer, there was only a small amount left in the account.

Li Fuzhao was shocked to see Yi Weidong place an order of 5000 million in the blink of an eye, and said after a while: "5000 million can buy three buildings in Central, and you can just spend it to buy stocks."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "I also want to buy a building, but no one has made a move recently!"

Li Fuzhao just lamented that Yi Weidong mortgaged 8 million real estate twice, with a loan of 6000 million. Excluding the overlapping part, there are more than 1 million real estate.

Now that he has bought 5000 million shares without blinking, and the company is still producing ballpoint pens, Yi Weidong's net worth can reach [-] million.

Seeing that this age is not yet 20 years old, think about it. If you are still studying at [-], if you spend money from your family, Yi Weidong can earn [-] million. How many people in the Chinese circle can earn [-] million!

It's a pity that Li Fuzhao doesn't have a younger sister. If he had one, he would send it to Yi Weidong's house. He would be willing to be a concubine. Think about how much money Yi Weidong will have at the age of 30!

Li Fuzhao's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and he put his arm around Yi Weidong's shoulder and said, "Brother Yi, let me introduce you to a girlfriend!"

He was still thinking about why he didn't have a younger sister, which girl of the Feng family would be better off now.

Yi Weidong said, "No need, I already have a girlfriend."

Li Fuzhao said with a smile: "Which man does not have three wives and four concubines, there is no harm in getting to know a few more girls."

Yi Weidong mistook this topic. What Li Fuzhao introduced must be a lady, not to mention whether she looks good or not, she must have the temper of a young lady. Yi Weidong doesn't like such girls.

At this time, buying stocks can't directly produce results, let alone a huge sum of 5000 million, it will take a few days to absorb and buy.

Yi Weidong was invited to visit Li Fuzhao's accounting firm, and only then did he know that Li Fuzhao was a certified public accountant and had a small investment company.

Yi Weidong and Li Fuzhao talked about the agreement to hire Li Fuzhao to do accounting management for Qiuyu Company, and then returned to his company, notified the cooperation with Li Fuzhao, and said: "Sister Taozi, I bought 5000 million shares, and the company account It must be guaranteed not to be less than 5000 million in cash."

Ruan Tao was surprised: "Didn't you say you only bought 2000 million? Why did you add another 3000 million?"

Yi Weidong talked about the increase in the trading volume of the stock market, and said: "It can be seen that the economy is improving in a half-year cycle. I guess next spring, or summer at the latest, can be felt in the real estate market."

Ruan Tao also accepted Yi Weidong's statement, but all of the money in the account was spent all of a sudden, a little suddenly, and he felt a little flustered because he had no money.

Said: "You signed all the checks, and that's the only way to go."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "If the company has money, it needs to invest. How much is the interest on the account?"

Skipping this topic, Ruan Tao reported the situation of the department store. The decoration has been completed and is now entering the venue. Soon, the Tesco department store will be able to open for business first.

Xiangjiang is more superstitious. At this time, it is necessary to find professionals to calculate a good date for the opening of the business. Yi Weidong can't avoid it and let Ruan Tao handle it by himself.

Ruan Tao asked: "Tomorrow is the day of the Bank of East Asia dinner, don't forget, why don't you take Ah Zhen there?"

Yi Weidong said: "Why should I bring her? They are both the bosses of the company. It would be good for you to come forward and get to know more people."

Ruan Tao said: "Okay, if you want me to accompany you after get off work, you will really squeeze the employees."

Yi Weidong said with a smile: "So I am the boss, and you are being squeezed."

Ruan Tao glared and said, "You are beautiful."

Yi Weidong first dealt with Wan’s daily chores in the company, and then started to take out books to study. Many of Xiangjiang’s textbooks are different, so Yi Weidong had to take time to study and recite more.

Except for Chinese language, the other textbooks are all English tutorials, which is very uncomfortable to read.

Ever since Yi Weidong nodded to go to school, Ah Zhen came back every day to urge Yi Weidong to study, and did not relax all day.

After dinner in the evening, Ah Hui asked: "Brother Ah Wei, did you get scolded again yesterday?"

"Are you just being trained? My grades are good, and I can pass."

"What's so great about passing a pass, and you can't go to college."

Yi Weidong has made great progress in passing the exam based on his own ability. If he uses his special ability, it is still very easy to get an A.

During the college entrance examination, if he can get five A's in the six majors, he will be able to go to university. Yi Weidong is confident that he can go to university directly in the sixth form.

Ah Zhen said: "Ah Hui, don't make trouble, we are going to the study."

When she came to the study, Ah Zhen began to give lectures to Yi Weidong, all in English, Yi Weidong had a hard time learning, there were too many special words, Yi Weidong had to learn them, and they didn't even use them on weekdays.

After finishing speaking, Yi Weidong said: "Tomorrow I will go to a banquet with Sister Taozi, and I don't know when I will be back."

"Then it will be considered as a day off for you, and you will continue to study the day after tomorrow."

Ah Zhen packed up her books and was about to go back to her room. Yi Weidong took Ah Zhen's little hand and said:
"Ah Zhen, will you stay with me?"

Ever since A-Zhen stayed, A-Zhen always went to sleep in her own room, and Yi Weidong had to stay in the vacant room alone every night.

The last time Ah Zhen plucked up the courage to stay and sleep with Yi Weidong in her arms, she never stayed overnight again, and said coyly: "I don't want it, Ah Hui often runs to my room, if you find me in your The room, wouldn’t it just be worn out?”

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Then just ask Ah Hui to call me brother-in-law."

Ah Zhen shyly said: "Don't be shy, you should sleep by yourself!"

Taking advantage of Yi Weidong getting up without paying attention, he ran away, Yi Weidong shook his head, took a shower and went to bed by himself.

The next day, there was good news. Yi Weidong’s bicycle patents had also come down, and the first batch of tea filters and matching single-layer glasses were also produced. Yi Weidong tried it out and There is no difference in the previous life.

This Boss Cup is very simple, all the products are OEM, after production they just need to be assembled together and packed into the box.

In the evening, Yi Weidong and Ruan Tao changed their dresses and came to the third floor of the Hilton where the banquet was held in Central.

Entering the hall, Yi Weidong saw several familiar faces, took a glass of red wine, went up to greet Feng Hanzhu, the general manager of Li & Fung Company, and met some bosses of Chinese business firms under Feng Hanzhu's introduction .

Knowing that Yi Weidong is the inventor of the ballpoint pen, he soon got a bunch of business cards.

Ruan Tao had more acquaintances than Yi Weidong, and soon chatted with many customers of Qiuyu Company.

Not long after, Li Fuzhao came to Yi Weidong and said, "Brother Yi, why are you here? Brother Feng thought you weren't here."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "I'm a small company, and it's good to stay here."

"Brother Yi was joking."

After taking Yi Weidong to a corner next to him, Feng Bingfen, the general manager of the Bank of East Asia, greeted Yi Weidong and said, "Mr. Yi is here, let me introduce some friends to you."

Yi Weidong didn't know anyone in this circle, and they all looked like big bosses.

Feng Bingfen said first: "Let me introduce an inventor to you. The latest ballpoint pen on the market is the invention of Mr. Yi Weidong. In less than a month, tens of millions of pens have been shipped, and it will soon occupy the global market. Pen market."

At first, a few people didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was a nephew from a certain family, but after hearing Feng Bingfen's introduction, they knew Yi Weidong's net worth.

Everyone is in business, and you will soon know the market's troubles. After the ballpoint pen is launched, it will sell well soon. The price is cheaper than the fountain pen, and it is easy to use.

Combined with the unit price of tens of millions of ballpoint pens, the revenue will be 8000 to [-] million. This is only the first month. When the North American and European markets are opened, the annual revenue will not be hundreds of millions!
