Behind the city center, on a not-so-busy side street, an old man and a young man were sitting in a tavern.
The old man looked at Zheng Bajin in front of him and said, "It's not lively or luxurious here, but the food he cooks is very suitable to my taste."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said with a smile: "Just make do with it, there is no need to waste it. By the way, old man, why are you inviting me to drink?"
He never believed that there was a free lunch in the world, and the old man must have a purpose.
"Haha, little brother, it's really okay. I just want to make friends with you. From you, I can see how I dared to fight when I was young." Da Jinya said with a smile.
When Zheng Bajin saw that he didn't say anything, he stopped forcing him, and just settled for it as it came.
At this time, the owner of the restaurant was busy. There were no workers or customers in the small shop. It was surprisingly quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the owner cutting belly strips.
The knife skills are excellent and very fast. In a short time, a full plate of braised pork belly strips was cut.
The boss looked at the old man, nodded, smiled and said in Japanese: "You two eat first, and I will make two side dishes. The wine is right there, which one do you want to drink? Go get it yourself."
The old man nodded, watched the boss enter the kitchen again, then pointed to the place where the wine was placed, got up and went to get the wine himself.
Zheng Bajin saw that the old man was in good spirits, so he was not polite and allowed him to be beaten. However, he glanced at it curiously.
On a spring bench, there were several kinds of wine, with prices marked on them, ranging from 10,000 yen per pound, to 40,000 to 50,000 yen, and even to several thousand yen.
The old man paid 10,000 yen per pound.
Zheng Bajin thought, this old man is just a retail investor, he must have lost a lot of money, and he doesn't have much money. It would be nice to treat him to a drink of 10,000 yuan per catty.
With today's prices, it's not considered high-end.
Especially the Japanese yen, which was the least valuable last year. It cost 1,465 yuan to exchange for one yuan. Now it has recovered a bit, and it still costs 1,189 yuan to exchange for one yuan. In other words, this pound of wine is only worth eight or nine yuan in a big country, which is suitable for the extremely working-class people like Shangyu Township.
Seeing his expression, the old man seemed to have guessed the meaning. He was not angry. Instead, he poured a glass and put it on the table in front of Zheng Bajin. He also filled a glass for himself and said calmly: "Come on, little brother." , a toast to our friendship.”
Saying this, as if to dispel Zheng Bajing's worries, do it first as a courtesy.
Zheng Bajin was not polite. He raised his cup and took a sip. It tasted pretty good, no less than bottled wine that cost dozens of yuan per catty.
"How is it? Not bad, old man? I just like this taste and have been drinking it for sixty or seventy years."
Zheng Bajin was stunned and said casually: "Old man, have you liked drinking since you were a child?"
"Haha, I started drinking when I was twenty, and now I'm over ninety." The old man said unhurriedly.
Zheng Bajin was stunned again. This old man didn't look like him. He looked only sixty or seventy years old. He didn't look like someone in his nineties at all. It seemed that he really paid attention to health.
"Little brother, doesn't it look like this? All my teeth have fallen out, so I just replaced them with dentures. It's better for you to be young and find as many women as you want."
Damn it, what are you talking about? The old man doesn’t want to help me up, I have to try!
Thinking of this, Zheng Bajin didn't want to lose to the old man, so he drank all the wine in his glass.
"Come, try this tripe first." Seeing his sudden boldness, the old man seemed to appreciate it, and pointed to the only dish on the table.
Zheng Bajin was not polite. After taking a bite, his eyes lit up. He never expected that such a small restaurant could make such delicious dishes.
"By the way, little brother, can you tell me why you want to short Ximi Real Estate?" The old man still took his time and looked calm.
Zheng Bajin smiled secretly, and he really got to the point.
"The main reason is that his company has fraudulent performance and is not worth the price at all. As a businessman, I only do business when I can make a profit." Zheng Bajin's words were flawless.
"But, it is said that you are a policeman." The old man put a piece of belly in his mouth and chewed it carelessly.
"I still have a second job, and the salary of a police officer is not enough to support my family." Zheng Bajin said with a smile.
"Oh, that's it. Then I would like to ask, how low do you think the stock price of Ximi Real Estate is reasonable?"
"It's hard to say now. It may fall to more than a thousand, or it may fall to hundreds, or even dozens." Zheng Bajin said, "There is a saying that a bear market never tells the bottom."
"Haha, in that case, do you think Fuso will have a bear market?" The old man suddenly laughed. He didn't think that the bull market that had lasted for many years would end like this.
Now don't look at the real estate stocks represented by Ximi Real Estate. They have fallen sharply. It may be just a correction, which is the legendary bull turnaround.
"I think it's a foregone conclusion. No one can change it. Any country that prospers must decline, and the same goes for the economy, especially real estate. Fuso has spent all the money in the next few decades, and it must be digested slowly. It's impossible to keep going forward." Zheng Bajin had a pleasant conversation with the old man based on his experience in his previous life.
From the opening of the Japanese market in 1950 to 1989, it rose from 85 points to 38,900 points in 39 years, during which it experienced several rounds of bull markets and several rounds of bear markets. Zheng Bajin made it clear and clear.
The old man became more and more surprised as he listened. However, what he said was quite reasonable and he had to accept it.
Zheng Bajin also said that from 1990 to now, the Fuso stock market has been in recession and has begun to correct. It is also analyzed that in the next ten years, it is impossible to get out of the big market, it can only go lower and lower, and continue to hit new lows. According to his "prediction", it will fall to more than 7,000 points.
However, that was two thousand years later. In 2007, although it closed at more than 17,000 points, it was never possible to reach the highest point of 40,000 again.
Of course, the latter are based on the data from the previous life, so Zheng Bajin naturally cannot give an accurate number.
Despite this, the old man was still fascinated by what he heard and even forgot to drink.
At this time, the boss served two dishes again, one meat and one vegetarian.
The old man came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What you said seems to make sense, but I heard someone say that the real reason why you shorted Ximi Real Estate seems to be that the son of the Ximi family took it when he shouldn't. If possible, just accept it as soon as possible and ask him to return the things. After all, he is already hospitalized."
"This is just one reason. The more reason is that I also want to make money." Zheng Bajin smiled and thought to himself that it turned out that the old man was working as a lobbyist for the Simi family, so he took advantage of the scheme. "However, if the Simi family really If you are willing to return the things and give me the sago wood to take back to the big country for processing, and to maintain the authority of the big country's laws, I can consider quitting the world and becoming a small policeman with peace of mind."
"Being a police officer is good and stable. You can also make some capital and develop other industries in the future." The old man nodded and smiled.
Of course Zheng Bajin understood that the capital he was talking about was from two aspects. He couldn't help but smile in his heart. Do you think that in Fusang, the police can make a lot of money? Not only can they visit casinos, but they can also cover entertainment venues. If you are brave enough, you can earn a A few tens of millions is no big deal.
But he didn't refute, knowing that this old boy still had something to say.
Sure enough, the old man continued: "Then tell me, what did the Simi family take from you? I will step in and ask him to return it."
"It's not that he took my things, but he was selling drugs in a big country, and the total amount of stolen money was one million. The attitude of the big country is very clear. Everyone wants the stolen goods. No matter who he is, as long as he touches the laws of the big country, he will be punished no matter how far away he is!" Zheng Bajin suddenly said righteously, there was no room for negotiation at all.
"Poison?" The old man's expression also changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. I'm a great policeman from a great country. How could I still unjustly accuse him? Tell me, this kid did something bad, but he did such a sinful thing, giving birth to a son without a butt." Zheng Bajin looked disgusted. , I wish I could pull Simi Muzi over and beat him into a pig's head.
"Okay, I'll go talk to you about this and I'll give you an answer within three days. It's this kind of people that I hate the most. They are comparable to the devils in Britain and France back then."
Zheng Bajin looked at him, not knowing whether what the old man said was true or not, but he agreed and said, "Then it's a deal, as long as I can take him away, I will leave Fusang."
His thoughts were very clear. Fuso was already thinking of ways to deal with him, but now that the airport murder case had occurred, the target had been temporarily shifted.
Now that someone wants to make peace, it is a great honor, and since I have made a lot of money, I should just stop.
Of course, there is another important reason, that is, I don’t know who the mysterious boss is. Naturally, I don’t know the details of the other party, nor the purpose. Then withdraw, wait and see, and then make a decision after the situation is clear.
Of course, I just promised to leave here. As for the future, see you in another world.
…
After returning "home", Zheng Bajin immediately called and told Naying that he might withdraw the funds in a few days, so that she could prepare for the withdrawal in advance.
When Naying heard that he was going to withdraw, she thought that he would return home soon. She was happy and agreed. At the same time, he also promised Zheng Bajin not to tell anyone about this to avoid trouble.
For her, nothing is more important than her son's safety.
As for cutting the little devil's leeks, you can cut as many leeks as you can. If you really can't cut them, you won't force them anymore. Anyway, it's worthy of the country. In this period alone, I have earned tens of millions for the country and achieved a profit of dozens of percent. I am already satisfied.
Moreover, by helping the country invest this time, although he did not make a lot of money, he has been promoted to the deputy ministerial level, which is an unexpected gain.
The only hope is that when Zheng Bajin returns to China, he will be appreciated by his superiors. Even if he cannot be reused, as long as he is provided with certain conveniences in doing business, he can still be a man of five and six and bring glory to his ancestors.
After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help it, and first asked Vice Governor Gao to redeem the empty order. The reason was very simple. She said it was Zheng Bajin's intention. He couldn't see clearly who the big boss who rushed in was. Who doesn’t fight an uncertain battle?
After hearing this, Vice Governor Gao nodded and said, let's do it this way. It's enough to earn so much. Don't be too greedy. Just accept it when it's good and do it again when you have the opportunity.
Na Ying passed the news of Zheng Bajin's return to Yang Weidong via phone.
