Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 76 Shopping and eating

   Xiangjiang.

   After sixteen hours of flight, the Boeing 777 finally landed.

The first-class passengers got off the plane first, Ye Dongqing walked out with a stretched waist, and went directly into a Mercedes-Benz business car, together with several other first-class passengers, the luggage will be delivered to them first, and the expensive ticket Compared with the price, this service is not worth mentioning.

I slept for about ten hours on the way, so it wasn't too difficult. After finishing the visa on arrival at the customs, the other party asked Ye Dongqing why he brought so many watches. He replied that he was visiting relatives to give gifts. Therefore, making things difficult, turning a blind eye and closing one eye will pass.

It was the first time I came back to Hong Kong from the records, and I probably had nothing to do with smugglers. It took me a while to deal with the customs clearance problem, and I exchanged thousands of dollars in cash into Hong Kong dollars. I left the airport and took a taxi. I asked the driver to help me find a hotel with a view of the night view of Victoria Harbour. high-end hotel.

The taxi driver likes this kind of passenger the most. He put his luggage in person and took him to the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel. Speaking of which, it was the first time for Ye Dongqing to come to this city. He grew up in Manhattan and didn't think there were so many tall buildings. Bustling, but the street is really lively, full of people and shops everywhere.

  Many faces of people of yellow race made Ye Dongqing feel close. When she was in the United States, she would always be invisible. Even though she received American cultural education since she was a child, it was still difficult to integrate into it because of her skin color and appearance.

  After arriving at the hotel, it was only 4:30 in the afternoon.

   After going in and registering, I stayed in a super deluxe room. While the bank card was still usable, I paid directly for a whole month's room fee. After the discount, the total was 115,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was equivalent to more than 10,000 U.S. dollars.

It is definitely a big customer. The manager personally led him, helped him carry the luggage to the room, and then gave him two bottles of red wine and a fruit set. As one of the most famous five-star hotels in Hong Kong Island, the service is self-contained There is something unique.

The floor is quite high. Standing by the window, you can see the harbor and tall buildings on the other side. I am quite satisfied with this room. After putting away my things, I can’t wait to turn on the computer to check the price changes of crude oil. I can’t make calls on the plane, and I can’t use my laptop normally. Computer, until now I still don't know the transaction status after I got on the plane.

  Looking at the numbers, my heart sank.

  Compared to the price when I bought it, it has now fallen by more than 70 cents, which means that more than 10 million US dollars has been lost in this way, and I am about to lose all the money I made from the stock market some time ago.

From being forcibly liquidated, there is still room for a fall of close to US$1.50. When the position cannot be paid in full and the position is forcibly liquidated, Ye Dongqing will be heavily in debt in an instant, and will successfully change from a poor pauper to a person with several debts. The "negative man" of tens of millions of dollars.

Speaking impulsively, I thought that after a round of upswing, the short-term fluctuations would not be too large. Even if I lost money, I would still have at least half a month to raise tens of millions of dollars and continue to fill the hole. Unfortunately, this round of decline The momentum did not leave much room for him to maneuver, and he regretted making a big bet with all his positions.

But it's only "a little bit". Like investing in stocks, it mainly depends on the long-term fluctuations. The short-term rise and fall shows that the long and the short are in a game, and the winner will be determined soon, and it will be manifested in a few days. In terms of crude oil prices, judging from the recent news that OPEC intends to cut production, they are also trying to push up oil prices.

I still need to wait a little longer. Before that, Ye Dongqing can't do anything. Considering that it's still late at night in the United States, she didn't return those missed calls. She read the news for a while, checked the situation of several companies, and then went to bed. for a while.

  I don't know anyone here, and I don't know what to do. Right now, I'm here to travel and relax.

   Ask the hotel staff to help you contact the tour guide.

  The two sides met in the lobby downstairs at six o'clock. The other party was still studying at Chinese University, only two years older than Ye Dongqing.

  This is the thoughtfulness of the hotel. They will not help Ye Dongqing find a male tour guide, and they also strive to look the best. All in all, they cannot make customers feel uncomfortable.

  ********

   "I don't have a car, how did you get here?"

  After listening to the hourly salary price, Ye Dongqing didn't take it seriously, and directly changed the topic to transportation.

The little tour guide’s English name is Selina, and her Chinese name is Lin Rou. She was only a sophomore in her sophomore year, and her accent has a strong treasure island flavor, not the kind of whine, and it sounds quite comfortable. These self-introductions are similar to Ye Dongqing said.

The consumption level in Xiangjiang is much higher than that in her hometown. It is normal for students to go out to work part-time. Hearing that the proprietress said that she met a big client this time, Lin Rou quietly increased the hourly salary from 50 Hong Kong dollars to 80 Hong Kong dollars. Seeing that the other party agreed Yes, but I don't have a car to pick up and drop off the other party, which really shouldn't be.

  Frowning and asking him back: "Bus or subway? It's very convenient. If you take a taxi, you can also go to the beach to see the night view. It's only a little far away."

  Not so particular, Ye Dongqing nodded and walked forward with the other party. When passing by the Peninsula Mall, she said, "I didn't bring any clothes this time. Come with me to buy short sleeves and shoes first. Change your clothes before you go."

   "There are a lot of shops inside, your accent sounds...from the mainland?"

   "I grew up in New York. Where are you from? I heard that your island is very beautiful. I haven't had a chance to see it."

  He didn't expect that Xiangjiang would still have more than 20 degrees in November, and the shirt and leather shoes didn't look like a tourist, and he was worried that his feet would hurt if he went far.

"Only the scenery is left, nothing else is good, people are going out, rich immigrants go to the United States, and some go to the United Kingdom, France, anyway, no one wants to stay at home, I went to a 7-Eleven convenience store part-time in high school, The hourly wage is only NT$100."

  Lin Rou complained, after hearing Ye Dongqing's conversion into US dollars, it was only less than three US dollars, no wonder she couldn't keep people.

It is true that US dollars are valuable, but the price level is also high. It is very valuable to bring US dollars to other countries to spend. After buying clothes and shoes, I store my clothes there and agree to pick them up tomorrow. The two of them walked to the pier and looked at Night view across Victoria Harbour.

The little tour guide seemed to be very interested in New York, and kept asking which one was more beautiful. Ye Dongqing only told her that New York had a stronger sense of history. Both are international metropolises, each with its own strengths. A city that was not very good at first, because of the harbor , looks more comfortable.

I haven’t had dinner yet. How can I not eat snacks when I come to Xiangjiang? Today I don’t plan to go to Central on the other side. I will take a taxi to the nearby snack street. This is much more lively and rich than the snack street in Chinatown, and the street is only a quarter of the way , he has already made it to the end...
