Chapter 191 The Eve of the Financial Crisis
So Lin Feng visited the science and technology park under the leadership of Li Hong.

Lin Feng had also been to the science and technology park before, but at that time he came here directly to find Rebus, so he didn't take a good look at the situation of his own science and technology park many times.

Today, under the leadership of Li Hong, I finally got a general understanding of my own science and technology park. In the future, when people ask Lin Feng about the situation of the science and technology park, they will not be ignorant.

"By the way, Engineer Li, if I want to build another office building on the open space south of my science and technology park, how long will it take?"

Lin Feng remembered his own thoughts before, so he planned to ask a professional first.

"I don't know how tall the office building Boss Lin plans to build?"

Li Hong didn't expect that now that the various projects of the science and technology park had come to an end, Lin Feng actually asked such a question, are all rich people like this?
"About 99 floors."

Hearing Lin Feng's answer, Li Hong looked at Lin Feng in surprise, wondering if he heard it just now.

"Boss Lin just said to build a 99-story building?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Li Hong suddenly felt a little dumbfounded, what is the problem?There is a big problem.

"Boss Lin may not be clear. The soil quality under your science and technology park is different from other places. If you want to build a 99-story office building, the empty steel tubes need to be drilled at least 100 meters underground, but yours The land is not suitable."

Hearing Li Hong's words, Lin Feng looked at Li Hong in surprise.

Lin Feng did not expect that there are so many restrictions in building an office building.

"Then how tall can I build an office building in this science and technology park?"

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Li Hong thought for a while, and said, "The highest building can only be [-] stories high. So the tallest building in your science and technology park was only [-] stories high when we originally designed it." Gao, I’m just afraid of this question.”

When Lin Feng first saw the design drawings, he thought they built more than [-] floors just for the sake of aesthetics, but he didn't expect such a meaning.

After learning from Li Hong that there is no way to build the 99-storey office building in his heart in the Science and Technology Park, Lin Feng felt a little lost in his heart.

After looking around the science and technology park, Lin Feng asked Li Hong to do other things, and he took Zhao Tiezhu into the building of Rice Technology Company.

Lin Feng found Rebus in the laboratory. At this time, Rebus was watching hundreds of mobile phones being tested in the laboratory.

"Lei Ge, there is nothing wrong with our rice phones, right?"

Rebus saw Lin Feng coming, so he left the laboratory and walked towards the office with Lin Feng.

"Everything is looking good so far and it looks like it will be available for sale soon."

Rebs brought Lin Feng to his office, and made a pot of tea for Lin Feng, and then the two sat on the sofa chatting while drinking tea.

"By the way, you were asked to give the data of your mobile phone to Huawei and ZTE to discuss cooperation. How is it going now?"

Hearing Lin Feng ask this question, Rebs laughed.

"My brother is still smart."

"After I showed our rice phone to them, they were very surprised, especially when they heard that we were willing to cooperate with them with various technologies of the mobile phone, they were very happy."

Hearing what Rebus said, Lin Feng suddenly smiled and asked: "Then I told you, how many shares did they take out?"

Seeing Lin Feng's smile, Rebs felt like he was looking at a "little money fan".

"Huawei has a little more here, and their boss Meng is willing to give us [-]% as our technology transfer fee."

"Mr. Meng is still an arrogant person. I heard that he holds very few shares in the company, and most of the shares are given to those scientific researchers."

Hearing Rebus' evaluation of Mr. Meng, Lin Feng said with a smile: "Mr. Meng really has nothing to say, he was a soldier before, and you know that soldiers don't have so much fun."

"By the way, how many shares will ZTE take?"

Rebs said: "Originally they only planned to take 5.00% of the shares, but in the end they directly showed Mr. Meng's [-]% share contract. In the end, their Mr. Li was willing to give [-]% shares."

Hearing that ZTE only took out [-]% of the shares, Lin Feng knew that their Mr. Li was also a shrewd businessman who talked about business.

Lin Feng smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter, anyway, we didn't give them the core technology."

"By the way, have you found the manufacturer of the mobile phone?"

Rebs said: "It was originally planned to be handed over to Foxconn, but didn't you say before that we don't want to cooperate with Foxconn, so we changed to another factory, but the speed may be slower."

"By the way, you haven't told me why you don't want to cooperate with Foxconn?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "You should also know Mr. Wang from BYD."

"Didn't I go to discuss cooperation with him before? I am now a shareholder of BYD, and Mr. Wang and Foxconn's Guo Ming are rivals. Do you think I can support his business?"

Hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Rebs also remembered that Wang Fu and Guo Ming were indeed rivals.

"Brother Lei, you have to hurry up. The apples in country M are already preparing to produce apples on a large scale. Once they get the first chance, it will be very difficult for us to move forward."

"So we must first occupy the domestic market, and we cannot give Apple the opportunity to enter China."

Rebs also agreed with Lin Feng's suggestion. After all, once Apple is listed in the domestic market first, it will be difficult for latecomers to grab food from them.

"You can rest assured, brother. I have received news that Apple does not produce many mobile phones. They can only supply their domestic market temporarily. They will not come to China so soon."

"But we still can't take it lightly."

After talking with Rebs for two hours, Lin Feng left Rice Technology Company.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when Lin Feng was eating supper with his parents, Wang Lei called from Country M.

"Boss, the price of 'Collateralized Debt Obligations' has begun to fall, and the rate of decline is very fast. I heard that someone from the rating agency has proposed to downgrade this bond."

Hearing Wang Lei's excited voice from the other end of the phone, Lin Feng quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand, talked to his parents, and went upstairs to his room.

Lin Feng quickly turned on the computer and checked online that the current price of "Collateralized Debt Bonds" had indeed started to drop sharply an hour ago.

"How's the market sentiment in country M now?"

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Wang Lei quickly said: "The people here have already started to panic, but there is no obvious panic."

After hearing Wang Lei's words, Lin Feng understood that the investors over there were still watching the development of the market.

"You immediately contact the investment bank that we bought the 'credit default swap', and you tell them to buy this swap contract."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang Lei asked suspiciously: "Will those Wall Street elites listen to me?"

"They're going to listen to you, and now that the 'Collateralized Debt Obligations' are down, the investment banks have a lot of positions in these bonds, so they're losing money now."

"If you tell them at this time that buying credit swaps can reduce losses, they will definitely buy a large number of swap contracts to hedge their losses in the bond market."

After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Wang Lei immediately sent people to various investment banks to start lobbying.

After Lin Feng finished talking with Wang Lei, he continued to study the price of "Collateralized Debt Bonds" in country M on the computer.

Lin Feng remembered that when the price of this bond started to drop, the officials from country M began to stand up for the bond.

After all, once the bond market collapses, these bonds will become worthless at that time, and then tens of thousands of families in country M will go bankrupt, after all, their money has been invested in these bonds.

Although the bond prices continued to fall in the end, they did not fall so fast, so now Lin Feng plans to "add fire" to them.

"Boss, are you asleep?"

Lin Feng took out his phone and called Zhao Qiang.

"Why sleep now, it's still early?"

Although Zhao Qiang said that he hadn't slept yet, Lin Feng could still hear Zhao Qiang's voice on the other end of the phone panting a little, and there was also a "squeaky" sound coming from him.

Lin Feng knew what was going on right away, and said with a smile, "Is there anything good to bother you?"

Hearing what Lin Feng said, Zhao Qiang also knew what happened to him just now was known by Lin Feng, so he was not shy, and said directly: "It's nothing, what can I bother you about?"

"You called me so late, it must be something urgent?"

Hearing Zhao Qiang talk about the business, Lin Feng quickly told Zhao Qiang about his plan.

"It's no problem for one person to 'over the wall' to get out, but it's a bit difficult for so many people to 'over the wall'."

After hearing Zhao Qiang talk about the difficulty of this matter, Lin Feng also sighed, it was still a technical problem.

"Then you try to get out as many people as possible first, and if it really doesn't work later, you go to post bars and websites where there are more foreigners and spread the news. Anyway, we must let as many foreigners as possible know about the current bonds of country M. How dangerous it is."

"The most important point is that you can spread a gossip that many investment banks in country M are already buying 'credit default swaps' to short the real estate in country M."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhao Qiang immediately said excitedly: "Second brother, is your information accurate? Then can I buy some along with you?"

"There are thresholds for other people's swap contracts, and your funds should not be enough."

"I didn't say I would buy the contract you mentioned. What I mean is, if the real estate in country M is really going to collapse, then I can ask my parents to short the stocks in the real estate industry in country M."

Hearing Zhao Qiang's words, Lin Feng felt that Zhao Qiang's mind was quite good, and he found an opportunity to make money from the information on his side.

"That's no problem. Anyway, if there is money to be made, whoever makes money doesn't make money?"

"But be careful when you ask your parents to sell short, and accept it when it's good."

"Otherwise, if you buy those stocks that are going to file for bankruptcy in the end, then you may not even have a place to cry."

Zhao Qiang said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, my parents are much smarter than me."

　Happy Mid-autumn Festival.
