After Lin Mo parked the car, he walked to the agreed-upon restaurant. Looking at the sign, it should be a place selling donkey meat. It was built on three floors. Judging from the situation, the business should be good.
Yi Wenbin was waiting at the door. When he saw Lin Mo coming, he hurried over to greet him. He had already opened a private room on the third floor, and Liu Daxiang took Shen Wenbin up.
When Lin Mo entered the store, there were no customers at this time. Yes, it was already quite a while after dinner, and Lin Mo himself was very hungry.
After Lin Mo urged the boss to hurry up, he followed Yi Wenbin upstairs. Lin Mo did not ask Shen Wenbin about his personal situation, but asked him to tell him about his experiences along the way.
From being caught selling counterfeit wine in Wuhan, to being brought to Nanjing, to acting for a group of bankers, and then leaving Beijing and jumping into the river to escape.
Shen Wenbin wanted to continue talking, but just as the food was being served, Lin Mo stopped him until he was full.
"Lao Liu, Wen Bin, you two go to the stairs and guard. If someone comes up, come and say something."
Lin Mo said something, and the three of them all stood up. When they saw Liu Daxiang walking out, Shen Wenbin realized that he was not calling him.
Lin Mo saw this and asked a little strangely: "Your surname is Liu? No, your name also has Wen Bin?"
"Yes!" Shen Wenbin nodded and responded with a smile: "My name is Shen Wenbin. I didn't expect that I have the same word as your brother. What a coincidence."
Yes! What a coincidence. I don’t know if it’s a trick of fate. Maybe the two Wen Bins will become brothers.
Lin Mo secretly replied in his mind, and took advantage of the situation to learn about Shen Wenbin's personal situation and his experience after jumping into the river to escape.
Shen Wenbin had basically confirmed that Lin Mo and others had no ill intentions and had no concealment, so he told Lin Mo everything.
After he escaped by jumping into the river, he came to Shanghai and hid for a few days at first, but no news came through, so he couldn't rest anymore. After selling some of the jewelry he took out, he went into the prosperous Shili Foreign Market in Shanghai.
While wandering around the concession, he came into contact with the stock trading in Shanghai and jumped in. At first, he made small profits and lost some money.
However, in college, he majored in economics and liked to study. It didn't take long for him to master the art, and he made a lot of money in a short period of time, and his principal increased nearly ten times.
When Shen Wenbin told the story, his face was filled with a smile and he danced when he was excited. It was obvious that he had great enthusiasm and love for this career.
Lin Mo admired Shen Wenbin from the bottom of his heart. He also studied economics in his previous life, but at his age, he was just dawdling around in college.
Lin Mo's later economic studies, combined with his later knowledge, was able to keep up with Shen Wenbin's ideas, and the two had a great time chatting.
"By the way, Wen Bin, when we followed you, we saw that you were quite wary. It must not only be because of what happened in Nanjing, right?"
When Shen Wenbin heard this, his bright eyes dimmed a lot, and he sighed: "I have no foundation in Shanghai, but making so much money has attracted the attention of some guys and they have other thoughts about me."
Lin Mo heard this, expressed his understanding, comforted him a few words, and said, "Wen Bin, what do you think of Shanghai's financial market?"
After hearing this, Shen Wenbin thought for a while and said: "As a world-class metropolis and the economic center of China and even the Far East, Shanghai's financial market potential is huge.
However, the financial market in Shanghai is really too chaotic. The country is weak and various forces, large and small, are rampant. The financial market is in chaos and has become a tool for speculation and money-making.
Here, it’s okay to make some money to spend or accumulate the first pot of gold in a small way, but if you really want to become bigger and stronger, you still have to enter the financial market of those old empires.”
"Listen to what you said, you must have done a lot of research on foreign financial markets! Can you analyze it for me?"
Hearing this, Shen Wenbin smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Lin thinks highly of me too much. I have only had some contact with him. What can I analyze?"
Lin Mo listened and gave some advice, but Shen Wenbin had no choice but to say: "Brother Lin, please tell me something!
Well... Let's talk about the United States first. It has experienced an economic crisis. The U.S. economy has not yet recovered and the stock market is at a low point. But its new president, I think, is hopeful of pulling the U.S. economy out of the quagmire.
In this way, the U.S. financial market can recover, especially the stock market, which will definitely rise in the future, and the increase will not be small.
Next is the UK. What do you say about the UK? I’m not too optimistic about it at the moment, mainly because their current leaders don’t let me see much change in the economy.
Of course, the stock market should still rebound after a decline, but it will definitely not last long, and the magnitude will not be too great.
I am most optimistic about Germany. The new prime minister’s economic policy is very good. Even if there may be some problems in it, there is still no problem in promoting the stock market to rise, and it may last for a long time.
As for France, I don’t know much about it, so I won’t talk about it. There may be a rebound in the stock market, but I’m not very optimistic about it.”
"What about Japan? What do you think of Japan's financial market and stock market?"
After hearing this, Shen Wenbin pondered for a while and then said: "I am not optimistic about Japan's financial market and stock market at all.
It's not a prejudice, but I'm really not optimistic at all, especially after the Japanese military came to power the year before last.
The Japanese military does not pay much attention to the economy and likes to overissue currency. The currency has depreciated quite a bit and the stock market is sluggish. Whether you can outpace the depreciation rate if you really invest money in the stock market is two different things."
"Brother Shen, you don't know as much as you said! Do you know foreign languages?"
"Yeah!" Shen Wenbin nodded and said, "I know English and Japanese. I learned English from a missionary in my hometown when I was a child.
At that time, he came to our place and built a small church and an orchard, where he planted a lot of grapes and other fruits. We often went to pick them. After we got familiar with them, he taught us foreign languages, which we learned at that time.
I studied Japanese in Beijing and rented a house outside the school. The landlord had studied in Japan in the late Qing Dynasty, but in the end he accomplished nothing and was unwilling to admit it.
He often showed off to us and taught us. Because he could reduce the rent, I followed him. Not only did I learn Japanese, I was also forced to learn a lot of Japanese etiquette."
Lin Mo's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: That's right. With such an understanding of foreign countries, just relying on a little bit of information translated is definitely not enough.
English can help him understand the situation in Britain and the United States, and Japanese can help him understand Japan. Germany is now in the honeymoon period with China, and there is a lot of news about it in the country.
Shen Wenbin's mastery of Japanese and Japanese made Lin Mo understand that his learning ability is not weak. After all, Shen Wenbin only attended university in Beijing for more than a year. He could master both Japanese and Japanese in his free time. This is not something ordinary people can do.
.
These circumstances made Lin Mo more and more satisfied with Shen Wenbin and felt that he could take on the important task, but it still needed to be investigated. How to get him to agree was also a problem.
"Brother Lin, I see that you know so much about economics, and you should also have your own understanding of international financial markets, stock markets, etc., can you tell me something?"
I can’t say I understand Lin Mo, but after studying economics for four years in later generations, I must know a lot theoretically. After all, I still have to cope with the exam, right?
Moreover, Lin Mo also knew a little about the stock market trends of major powerful countries before and after World War II. This was thanks to the school's elective courses. Lin Mo did not take a good class at that time and took an elective course on stocks.
The teacher did not teach how to trade stocks, but talked about its history. At that time, the teacher showed several stock market trends in various countries during World War II. Lin Mo was reading a novel about the Republic of China at the time, and found it interesting, so he studied it.
"Wen Bin, I am a soldier, and my perspective is a little different from yours. I base my analysis on possible wars that may break out in the future.
The current world situation is that there is Japan in East Asia, which is sharpening its knives and is always thinking about invading other countries. But what about Germany? The government that came to power at this time took advantage of the people's dissatisfaction with various post-war terms in Europe and came to power.
May start a war.
Let's assume that once Japan and Germany launch a war, it will have a huge impact on the world, and the stock market will be deeply affected.
Of course, this is also an opportunity. The stock market will fluctuate violently during the war. As long as you have enough information and make accurate predictions, you can earn far more wealth than usual.
Let’s talk about Germany first! With its strong industrial strength and military strength, it should have a considerable advantage in the early stage, and the stock market should go along the way.
I have the same idea as you about the British stock market. The initial increase may not be that high. As for the future, it depends on the development of the war.
As for the relationship between China and Japan, I personally think that China can win, but how long it will last is a question.
Due to geographical reasons, the United States' attitude toward war may be similar to that of the European War, and it is highly likely that it will not intervene in the war in the early stage.
I am not as optimistic as you about the U.S. stock market. It may rebound in recent years, but in the long run it depends on the international situation and its economic recovery."
After hearing this, Shen Wenbin frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lin, how sure are you of starting the war?"
Lin Mo heard this, pretended to think for a moment, and replied: "The war between China and Japan is 80%, and the new European war is half!"
"What about the time? In the near future or..."
Lin Mo listened and said with a smile: "Wen Bin, war is not easy to start. It takes many years to prepare. I think the war between China and Japan will take at least three to five years.
You don’t have to think too much. The closer to the outbreak of war, the more signs will appear. As long as you stay vigilant, you will notice it when the time comes."
"Yes!" Shen Wenbin nodded and asked: "By the way, Brother Lin, if you can find me, you should also find the group, right? How was it dealt with in the end?"
When Lin Mo saw this, he smiled and said: "We've caught them, some are in prison, some are in the interrogation room, and some are already corpses.
Of course, due to some reasons, some people have not been traced yet, but don’t worry! We will help you catch them all.”
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Shen Wenbin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so he finally nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Lin Mo finally revealed his purpose and said: "Brother Wen Bin, are you interested in cooperating? You are alone like this, with no information, no funds, and no helpers. You are destined to not be able to go very far.
And we have the information and funds in hand, and we can also provide you with help, which is guaranteed to make you more powerful and achieve great success."
This sudden solicitation made Shen Wenbin silent. After a while, he asked: "If we cooperate, what are the regulations?"
Lin Mo listened and said: "There are two ways. One is to set up a company and we jointly invest in the operation; the second is for you or the company to manage the funds for us and extract management fees. If the profits reach a certain level, they can be divided into shares.
My suggestion is that you choose the second method or a combination of the first and second methods, because the amount of funds on my side is very large, and your principal is too small."
After hearing this, Shen Wenbin was right and asked directly how much money he could provide. Lin Mo dipped his hands in tea and wrote two words on the table, which scared Shen Wenbin all the way.
"At least this amount, or dollars?"
Shen Wenbin took a long breath, calmed down for a while, and then asked: "With such a large amount of money, you won't leave it to me to manage just because of what you said today, right?"
"Of course!" Lin Mo nodded and said, "If you agree, I will provide a sum of funds, probably several times your principal, to jointly establish a company.
Then provide a piece of news that will bring huge profits, and it is up to you to operate it, see your performance, and decide whether to provide funds and how big the fund size will be.”
After hearing this, Shen Wenbin thought for a long time before replying: "Can you give me some time to think about it? This matter is too big."
Lin Mo nodded, very satisfied with Shen Wenbin's reaction. At least the other party was considering the proposal instead of perfunctoryly.
"Yes, but it can't last long. I will only stay in Shanghai for a few days. Please give me your more confidential contact information! I will contact you to see you again before I leave.
Consider my suggestion carefully! All I can say is that this is an opportunity for you. If you seize it, your life will be completely different."
"Okay... If you want to contact me, please call my brother's phone number! In order to avoid affecting his preparation for the exam, he lives in another place. He has contact information in the place where I usually stay..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shen Wenbin wrote down the contact method. After Lin Mo wrote it down, he burned it directly. Shen Wenbin was a little confused.
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Mo left with Liu Daxiang and drove north.
Lin Mo randomly found a public phone booth on the way, called Lin Zhenping, and asked him to withdraw some money for him.
Then he changed places and dialed the contact information left by Xuan Guoliang, asking him to seal a piece of information and send it to Lin Zhenping.
After making these arrangements, Lin Mo did not go back directly, but went north via Pengpu District, bypassing Zhabei and Hongkou, and arrived at Jiangwan District. He parked the car at the end of Jiangyang Road to see how the situation was on Xiao Rui's side.
Lin Mo reached the target not far away. After waiting for a while, Xiao Rui came over and took Lin Mo to the observation point.
There was nothing abnormal about the target, and no observation and warning places were found in the surrounding area. The problem in the workshop was roughly identified.
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Mo took a look and found that there was something strange about a house. A couple in their forties looked a little out of place with the people around them.
"Old Xiao, what's going on with that couple? They feel a little different from the people around them."
Xiao Rui heard this and explained: "Captain Lin, that's a couple of teachers. The man is a university teacher and the woman is a primary school teacher.
I thought it was strange when I saw it this morning. After asking around, I found out that both of them were from the local area. They had never had children, so they donated the money they earned to needy students.
He has been living in this old house and living a poor life. You can rest assured that I have had someone verify that everything is true and there is no problem..."
Xiao Rui explained the investigation process to Lin Mo in detail. This teacher couple had lived here all their lives. Lin Mo had no doubts and even had some admiration in his heart.
