"Your dad has a few old classmates who happened to be having a party during this time. He said he hadn't seen these old friends in many years, so he invited them to a restaurant. He drank a few more drinks because he was happy. Maybe he caught a cold on the way back. , has been coughing for a few days and has not gotten better. He also had a fever last night, so I thought of taking him to the hospital for a check-up, and by the way, he also looked at my old arms and legs."
"What did the doctor say?" Dong Qiangqiang asked impatiently.
"The doctor said he might have caught a cold. He arranged for a few days of infusion in the hospital and prescribed medicine. He will go home and rest for a few days before seeing him again. I'm queuing up to get the medicine, so you don't have to worry too much."
Dong Qiangqiang's originally good mood was suddenly compromised: "Then you must pay attention to your health during this period. It's cold in the winter. Is the heating at home hot? Have you added any clothes?"
"The heater has come on a long time ago and I have put on more clothes. Speaking of which, your dad is the disobedient one. I reminded him to put on his long johns a few days ago, but he just didn't listen. He is almost sixty, and he still follows Like a child, how about now..." Once Mother Dong's chatter begins, she usually quickly enters the mode of complaining.
Before, Dong Qiangqiang would have been a little impatient, but tonight he suddenly changed his mood and couldn't bear to hang up the phone, just wanting to listen to Dong's mother nagging.
Dong's mother talked to herself for ten minutes, and when she was about to get to the medicine window, she suddenly remembered that Dong Qiangqiang was calling from overseas. When she came to her senses, she said a little apologetically: "Look, I'm still in the lake." After applying it, it’s still nighttime for you, right? You should go to bed as soon as possible after a tiring day. I’ll give you the injection after your dad is discharged from the hospital. That’s it. You should pay more attention to your health over there. If anything happens, please tell me at home at any time. Say, hang up."
Dong Qiangqiang held up the phone and looked out the dark window. He seemed to see a middle-aged man with gray hair and a slim figure striding towards him with a smile from the crowd, handing him an envelope as he walked. When the envelope was handed to him, what fell out was not the aps certificate, but a few oranges. Dong Qiangqiang subconsciously reached out to catch it, but the free-falling orange disappeared out of thin air before falling into his hands. When he raised his head, the scene in front of him was a middle-aged man lying weakly in the hospital with a hanging bottle hanging next to him. A kind woman.
In an instant, Dong Qiangqiang felt an indescribable pain in his chest. Melancholy and irritability flooded into him. Then he thought that he had been away from his parents for more than a year and a half. Suddenly, the urge to go home appeared in his mind.
Unconsciously, the next door became silent, and everything around was silent.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang was hesitating whether to turn on his computer and buy a scroll to return to the city, his phone rang again, and it was Duanmu.
"Old Dong, do you want two Christmas gifts from me?" Dong Qiangqiang knew that Duanmu always got straight to the point when he made phone calls, so being so off-putting must mean that their investment had made money again. Before he could answer, he heard Duanmu talking on the phone. Head excitedly spoke quickly, "Except for Vivendi's loss, we have all made money on the other (options). Munich Reiner has made the most, almost doubling, but it has a tendency to rebound in the past two months. Do you think we are?" Should we wait any longer or should we exercise our power now and be safe?"
Dong Qiangqiang had no news about Munich Re for a while, and the news that his father was hospitalized made him upset, so he couldn't explain Duanmu's question for a while, so he had to answer with a question: "What is the second good news? "…
"Our company changed to a well-known law firm in the second half of the year. I got along well with the Italian at the law firm, so I spent some money to ask him to help me check Lao Maozi's background to see if the money he invested in us was there. Danger."
"Have you found anything?" Dong Qiangqiang became interested when he heard this.
"In addition to investing in us, the company that gave us money also invested in at least 20 companies. They are all investment companies, ranging in size from large to small. Of course, catching cicadas is considered small. By the way, there are other Chinese companies in these 20 companies. company. According to him, there is currently no suspicion of money laundering from the legal procedures. Of course, he can’t say anything about other aspects.”
"other aspects?"
"You know, he is Russian." Duanmu reminded, "Russians are not popular in Europe."
"It's really good news that there is no suspicion of money laundering," Dong Qiangqiang praised. "How much did you spend? It was worth it."
"Thirty thousand."
Even if you can't see Duanmu's face, just by listening to his tone, Dong Qiangqiang can imagine his pride.
"RMB?" Dong Qiangqiang clicked his tongue, "Is it so expensive?"
"Euros." Duanmu corrected softly.
"30,000 euros?" Dong Qiangqiang shouted.
"Old Dong, don't get excited. Listen to me. I know the money is not a small amount, but as you just said, it is well spent. Before, we were afraid of wolves and tigers. We didn't dare to buy this. We didn't dare to buy that. Isn't it because he is afraid that spending his money will send us to jail? Now, the lawyer said that the money is very clean. Do you know what this means? It means that we can flex our muscles. As long as we Continue to firmly buy short options in the stock markets of various countries, and you will soon become a real millionaire, oh no, a multi-millionaire." Duanmu seemed to see colorful banknotes from various countries flying in front of his eyes, "From now on you will If you are no longer Dong Qiangqiang, you are a financial tycoon."
Dong Qiangqiang was indeed a little angry just now that Duanmu took the decision and spent money to find a lawyer without consulting him, but then he thought again, this company originally belonged to Duanmu, and he must be under the greatest pressure. Now the money has been spent, and the result is satisfactory. Being angry can't change anything, so he softened his tone and said teasingly: "I've heard for the first time that people who spend more money become financial predators. Isn't it true that those who make more money are the predators?"
"It's bitter first and then sweet. By the way, do you want to sell Mu Zai?"
"I'll look into it later and get back to you."
"Sure, then please remember to get back to me as soon as possible. I'm worried that it will bounce back again."
The two exchanged some ideas about Duanmu's favorite stocks before hanging up the phone.
"Who have you been chatting with for so long?" Lao Bai stood behind him at some point, "Everyone is waiting for you."
"Let's talk to my family and talk to Duanmu about the company."
"Is everything okay?" Lao Bai asked with concern, "Are the Russians causing trouble for you again?"
"No, everything is fine."
"Let's go," Lao Bai patted his arm affectionately, "it's time to receive gifts."
