Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1058: Done at the dinner table

"What about these?" Xu Anxin opened another baggage curiously, and immediately fell over after being smoked: "It stinks!"

More than 20 poorly preserved scrolls were piled together, and the smell was certainly not pleasant.

Now Zhou Zhi has bought the warehouse in Hongqi Village, which covers an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters. In addition to the four laser halls downstairs, half of the second floor has also been renovated and equipped with video game consoles.

The remaining half, more than 200 square meters, was thoughtfully transformed into a studio.

It can be regarded as a quiet place in the middle of the noise, because it is soundproofed at the studio level, and the sound of the movie theater and the game hall cannot be heard in the studio at all. Zhou Zhi bought a Jin'an safe and made a camouflage wall for Store paintings and calligraphy that need restoration.

The large workshop also has a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small kitchen. Although it is small, it is fully equipped. If you sweat during morning exercises, you can also take a shower in the summer. Now that it is cold, you can come here to take a shower.

Zhao Xing knew that Zhou Zhi had a workshop upstairs, but he thought that just like the cinema, Zhou Zhi asked Niu Er to rent it. Little did he know that this large warehouse building was Zhou Zhi's private property.

Yes, the theater is owned by Zhouzhi, and it rents Zhouzhi’s building, and Zhouzhi collects its own rent.

There are still two empty floors upstairs, and Zhou Zhi is preparing to install a freight elevator in the building to prepare for the upcoming Three Gorges rescue.

The two floors are more than 600 square meters, which can accommodate a lot of things.

After wrapping the things carefully, Zhou Zhi smiled at Xu Anxin and said, "It will be impressive when I repair it. How about I give you a repaired one?"

"I have repaired more than 30 calligraphy and paintings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties before. This time I received Lan Ying's "Guxi Bookstore Picture". Then the previous one of his "Autumn Mountain Mangrove Picture" was given to you as a gift? Is it corresponding to Taiwan Island? The works collected by the Palace Museum are so red and festive, don’t they?”

"Tch! If you want to send me away like this, there's no way!"

Lan Ying and her son Lan Meng were both famous landscape painters in the Qing Dynasty. Their art was inherited from Dong Qichang, and they were naturally in the same line as Wang Wei, Dong Yuan and other Nanzong painters.

The Palace Museum has collected a piece of Wang Wei's "Picture of Rivers and Mountains with Snow" that Wang Shimin came to. Historical documents record that Dong Qichang saw this picture in his friend Feng Mengzhen's place, Lan Ying's "Picture of Mangroves in Autumn Mountains", and the painting "Picture of Mangroves in Autumn Mountains". There is an obvious inheritance relationship in "Jiangshan Snow Ji Tu". The stacks and trends of the huge rocks on the top of the mountain in the picture are exactly the same.

Zhou Zhi was actually quite reluctant to part with that painting, but he couldn't find a suitable gift to prevaricate for a while, but he didn't expect Cousin An Xin to refuse it.

She didn't know what she just rejected, but Zhou Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's look for it slowly, first let's say it's not that I didn't give it, but you didn't want it!"

Through this reception, Sui Huaxuan has almost figured out how to run the business. It is not a B&B, but hosting high-end business salons and private palace banquets.

Responsible for the accommodation and reception of the third young master of the Li family during his trip to central Sichuan, and at the same time serving as an elegant place for the third young master to entertain officials and celebrities in central Sichuan, Sui Huaxuan's reputation has spread.

However, tonight's farewell banquet is considered a thoughtful family banquet, so naturally it has to be borne by him.

During the dinner, Zhou Zhi began to promote his and Lin Wanqiu's idea, which was to set up a fund to save the Three Gorges cultural relics, which would be used to subsidize cultural preservation personnel participating in the rescue work and make financial donations to several key cultural preservation projects.

This work is indeed very important. After returning, Fei Guan and Zhang Cheng asked their friends in the industry to find out. From the start of the project to the completion of the water storage, there are still ten years, which means that it is not too late to start now.

The foundation's affairs are easy to handle. Just set up a sub-fund under AXA Fund, and then allocate US$500 million from AXA, US$500 million from Hongsheng Group and Jin'an Group, and US$500 million from Heheng Group and Haitong Art Auction House. , Mr. Li personally donated 100 million US dollars, which revealed a total of 600 million US dollars, which was enough to cause trouble for a while.

Of course, this is just the beginning. Next, San Li, Xu Anxin, and Lin Wanqiu will use their respective influence to attract more donations.This is the advantage of private banquets in clubs. Many important things can be easily done at the dinner table.

In order to celebrate the establishment of the rescue fund, Zhou Zhi donated two bottles of Qisan Sunflower Moutai from his collection.

The wine that has been cellared for 20 years is indeed good. As soon as the bottle cap is opened, the whole hall is filled with a strong aroma of wine.

"This place is really nice." Li Laoer shook his head and sighed: "No apartment in Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island can be so elegant."

"When it comes to elegance, I think the Hui-style architecture is the culmination of it all." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "It is said that Suzhou gardens are the best in the world, or that the Summer Palace exhausts all the world's material resources. However, I think the really powerful one is the Hui-style architecture."

"Other people move the landscape into the garden, but the Huizhou style puts the courtyard between the mountains and rivers."

"Then it's even worse on Taiping Mountain." Li Laoer said with a smile, "Brother, you can have fun like this."

Li Leshan has never pursued excessive material things. His only requirement for accommodation is that the study is quiet and big enough, which is fine. His villa in the United States is enough.

He stopped working in libraries decades ago, and a place like Suihuaxuan that was only half-exhibition function really didn't appeal to him.

"I heard that you have a lot of information technology stocks in the US securities market?" Mr. Li tasted the special chicken soup with satisfaction.

Li Laosan and Zhou Zhi looked at each other, wondering whether they should confess.

"Have you been suffering a lot of losses recently?" Boss Li asked calmly.

"Ah, this..." Li Laosan has been a little afraid of his boss since he was a child. He talks to Zhou Zhi Nunuuzui, what do you mean?
"Ahem," Zhou Zhi had to say: "The technology stock market in the past two years has indeed not been very good, so after we obtained a large amount of chips the year before last, we started the reverse operation..."

"What reverse operation?"

"Short selling." Zhou Zhi said: "There are many ways to become a shareholder. You don't have to own stocks. In fact, you just need to confirm that you will own stocks in the future."

"What do you mean?" Mr. Li specializes in information technology, and he is a bit confused about stocks and financial derivatives.

"In fact, it is similar to a gambling agreement. We buy option derivatives on these technology stocks from major institutions, which is equivalent to occupying these stocks in advance."

"Of course, this kind of possession can be divided into two categories. One is to buy the future at the current price. This method of buying is based on the judgment of many parties. In other words, if the stock rises in the future, the investment will make a profit."

"There is also a reverse operation, buying now with the future, that is, delivery according to the stock price on the expiration date of the option. This buying method is based on the judgment of the short side. If the stock falls in the future, then from the purchase date to The difference in stock price between expiration dates is the investor’s profit.”

"So you have been... short selling in the past two years?" It was the first time that Boss Li knew that there was such a profit model.

Zhou Zhi and Li Laosan looked at each other and smiled, and then Li Laosan said in a gloomy tone: "Brother, have you ever thought that the increase two years ago was actually driven by our purchase of chips?"
