Xia Zekai smiled: "That's not it, otherwise Brother Sun wouldn't come to me to borrow money."
"Then are you going to lend it to him?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai did not answer directly. He thought about it and then said: "Let's investigate first and see the results. If the Ke Lan shares are worth investing in, I will borrow them. If there is no return, we will help as well.
But you have to act according to your ability, and you can’t involve yourself in it.”
Luo Xiyun felt relieved when her husband said this.
Seeing her husband sitting on the sofa, looking for tea leaves from under the coffee table to make tea, Luo Xiyun's expression changed and she said to him with a straight face: "It's already late at night, why are you drinking tea if you don't go to take a shower or sleep? Hurry up.
Go take a shower."
"Uh!" Xia Zekai obediently put the tea leaves he just took out back into the tea bucket, took the towel and went to the bathroom outside to take a bath.
After he spent a full 20 minutes rubbing his entire body to get rid of the sebum, he discovered that his wife was still sitting on the sofa, chewing something in her mouth.
However, the casual clothes just now have been replaced by an all-in-one pink suspender nightgown...
"Daughter-in-law, you haven't slept yet!" Xia Zekai glanced at her, his mouth was dry and he wanted to drink water.
Luo Xiyun hooked her fingers at him and said, "Zekai, come here, I'll ask you something again."
"What's the matter?" Xia Zekai was confused.
He said: "Wait a moment, I will put the bath towel on first."
Just as he was about to walk towards the balcony, Luo Xiyun became angry: "Come here as soon as I ask you to. Why is it so laborious? Don't you need to use it in a hurry? You will die if you dry it later."
Good guy, how angry is his wife?
Xia Zekai passed by with a bath towel in his hand and big pants. He also asked: "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter?"
"Zekai, do you think I'm beautiful?" Luo Xiyun looked up at him with a fair face and asked him.
This is all obvious. If you still don't know what's going on, Xia Zekai thinks he can jump directly from the 16th floor, okay.
"Daughter-in-law, you are so beautiful!" As he spoke, Xia Zekai copied the words accurately with both hands.
…
The moon's face was obscured by black clouds, and from inside the house through the glass window, one could see Xingxing in the sky.
In the room next to the master bedroom, Luo Xiyun and her husband were lying side by side. Every hair on her face was spread out. She said with a smile: "That's pretty much it!"
"What?" Xia Zekai didn't hear clearly. He turned to look at his wife's black hair and asked her: "Daughter-in-law, what did you just say?"
"I said there is plenty of food in the granary, so there is no need to guard against thieves." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai: "..."
He had a confused look on his face, and after fussing for a long time, he finally understood what co-writing was all about.
"Mom, Mom, I need to pee." Tongtong's cry suddenly came from the master bedroom next door. When Luo Xiyun heard this, she didn't dare to delay. She put on her clothes and ran to the master bedroom with her bare feet to help her daughter.
Went to pee.
Seeing her anxious and panicked look, Xia Zekai wanted to laugh in his heart, this girl is really interesting.
Time flies, day and night are gone!
Early the next morning, Xia Zekai took a look in the master bedroom and saw that his wife and child were still sleeping in the bed. Xia Zekai did not wake them up, so he called Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng to the company.
After arriving at the place, Xia Zekai thought for a long time and finally called Zhang Xu over.
He realized that there were many things that managers from various departments in the company could not do, but it was really easy to arrange Zhang Xu to do these tasks.
Thinking of this, he became even more kind to Zhang Xu: "Xiao Zhang, how are you doing in the company recently?"
Zhang Xu still felt strange in his heart. The boss was not very good today.
But he still said sincerely: "Boss, I think it's very good. The work here is very interesting and I quite like it."
"Yeah, work hard, tell me what you think, and let's discuss it together." Xia Zekai said in a nonchalant manner.
Zhang Xu was stunned and confused, and then he said: "Xiao Zhang, go and help me investigate what's going on with Ke Lan's shares?"
"Kelan Shares?" Zhang Xu frowned slightly, and then said: "Boss, are you talking about Kelan Chemical? Is it the chemical factory we listed in Qicheng?"
"Yes, that's the company. Can you arrange for someone to check the company's specific situation from the side?"
Zhang Xu thought about it for a moment. He was a little unsure about how strong the 'investigation' would be, so he asked: "Boss, how far will the investigation go? Do you want to arrange for a third party to investigate?"
"That's not necessary, just arrange for someone to ask about this company..." Xia Zekai explained in detail, and Zhang Xu understood what was going on. He took the task and went out.
Xia Zekai was in the office analyzing the prospects of the chemical industry.
I didn’t have any ready-made information at hand, so I turned on my computer and checked online.
Indeed, as Sun Xu said, the market in the entire chemical industry is very sluggish, but this is not the point.
Everything has its ups and downs. He also knows that when a cyclical industry continues to slump to a certain extent, it will definitely recover.
And with more than two years of digestion and absorption, the subsequent impact of the 2008 financial crisis has gradually disappeared, and an extremely sluggish market is also slowly recovering.
Xia Zekai also found some information on the Internet.
The investment flagship Berkshire Hathaway announced the acquisition of the chemical giant Lubrizol of the United States for US$9.7 billion. In this article, it was clearly stated that this is one of the largest investments made by Berkshire in recent years.
one.
Another important point that attracted Xia Zekai's attention was the urgency of the transaction.
In one sentence, this transaction was a deal that was done at no cost. According to relevant parties, it took less than four weeks from the initial negotiation to the final completion of the transaction, and Buffett's purchase price was higher than Lubrizol's most recent acquisition.
The closing price was 28% higher.
This is a very high premium.
And it was completed recently.
This shows what?
Xia Zekai silently thought about the far-reaching significance of this. Even if he didn't know much about stock market investment, he still knew that Buffett was a benchmark in the investment market.
Many "cheap customers" in the capital market use titles such as "Buffett Zhao," or "Buffett Liu," or "I am Buffett No. 2," etc.
Why?
Excluding the factor of pretentiousness, Buffett does have a very large influence in the investment circle.
For example, his current acquisition made Xia Zekai keenly aware that even if the domestic market has not yet begun to speculate on chemical stocks, it will definitely do so in the next one or two years.
"Greedy!" Xia Zekai thought silently in his heart.
However, this matter also depends on Zhang Xu’s investigation results. If Kelan Chemical cannot do it, then forget it.
As for the two options Sun Xu gave him.
Ah!
Is he someone who is in need of some bank interest? Even if he is given the highest interest rate, what if he talks to the bank himself and the bank can still give him a higher interest rate?
But with the 300 million he had in the bank, he never considered buying financial products. Why?
Calm down his restless heart.
Xia Zekai checked the news about Kelan Shares online again.
Judging from the news on the Internet, Kelan's financial information for 2009 and the financial information for the first three quarters disclosed last year are indeed not very good, especially the financial statements after the second half of 2009 showed obvious
Downward trend.
Xia Zekai's heart moved and he looked at the financial information of many listed companies in the chemical industry. He found that they were all similar. Occasionally, there were a few with poor financial performance, but the stock price trend was particularly amazing. You could understand what was going on without even looking at it.
He doesn't specialize in buying stocks. He just passes these things by and doesn't study them in detail.
Slowly, I figured out an idea and started to make some calculations in my mind.
…
Let's say that after Zhang Xu received the task, he went directly back to Qianhui Investment Consultants to find his brother.
It's really hard to find a layman for this kind of professional question, but his brother is not a layman.
Zhang Chenguang is a very important person in the investment field.
After hearing my younger brother talking nonchalantly, I finally summed it up simply as to what Kelan shares are like.
Zhang Chenguang told him that the company was good, but it was encountering cyclical problems in the industry. This could not be changed by a company just by raising its arms and supporting the sky.
He also gave an example. Just like the price of live pigs, the price rises and falls. No matter how outrageous the rise is, it will fall back sooner or later, but this cycle is based on years.
"Brother, that means there is no problem with Kelan Shares itself, right?" Zhang Xu asked specifically.
Zhang Chenguang nodded: "There must be nothing wrong with the company. I have been buying their stocks and studying all aspects of their information. The recent decline has been severe, and I have also added a lot of positions. Why do you ask this?"
"What's the matter? Do you want to make some extra money by investing in stocks?" Zhang Chenguang is really kind to his brother.
Zhang Xu said: "Where? Our boss suddenly asked me, and I don't know exactly what happened."
Zhang Chenguang nodded and said "Oh", but he still kept it in mind.
The boss of the company his brother is currently working for is really a ruthless person. He didn't realize that he was developing so fast at the beginning. He must have been on a plane. Before he knew it, he was in a cloud.
Thousands of miles away!
Pity!
No one knows what Zhang Chenguang regrets in his heart.
In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is here.
On the festival day, Xia Zekai's family of four had an early dinner and then drove to see the lanterns.
At this time, the square was decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns, and the various lanterns were dazzling.
There are pink lotus seats, colorful koi fish, bright elephants, mannequins wearing various colors of clothing, and a performance on stilts next to it.
"Dad, look, that big fish is so beautiful." The girl, dressed like a roly-poly, pointed to a koi lantern in front of her and shouted loudly.
This shout attracted many people to look at her, but the girl didn't care. She jumped up and down happily.
Tongtong saw an elephant not far away, and she couldn't help but run in that direction. Luo Xiyun saw it and ran after her.
Cui Xiaofeng also followed.
It’s still chaotic at this time, and someone might take advantage of the night to cause trouble, but we can’t let the boss’s family get hurt.
After walking a few steps forward, I came across a lot of gadgets selling trinkets. They were all small lanterns with colorful lights, shiny plastic horns, and fluorescent sticks that light up after flicking them twice.
It just looks like cheap plastic, but kids can’t help but like it.
The two sisters, Yatou and Tongtong, each wore a red horn lamp on their head and hung this small spoon with flashing lights around their necks. They felt quite proud of it.
I met another seller selling candied haws. Normally, Luo Xiyun would not let them eat these things, but today was an exception.
The girl was clamoring for food, and Tongtong cooperated with her to assist her, almost rolling on the ground.
One of them bought a bunch of candied haws without seeds, and Xia Zekai also bought a bunch for himself and his wife.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Cui, you two also take a bunch."
The two of them were about to refuse, but Xia Zekai couldn't help but took six skewers.
Before I knew it, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month had just passed, and the new year was completely over.
Early the next morning, Xia Zekai sent all the beddings of his two daughters to the kindergarten in advance, as school was about to start.
Luo Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these two annoying little guys finally went to school, and she could have a good sleep at home.
It’s time to continue buying Bitcoins that I haven’t paid attention to for some days.
The study of investment cannot stop. For Luo Xiyun, she has become obsessed with this thing and always feels that there are many knowledge points in it that attract her.
At the same time, Zhang Xu also sent a reply to Xia Zekai. He also compiled the investigation results into a detailed report for Xia Zekai to review the information.
Xia Zekai looked at this information very carefully. Generally speaking, there is no problem with Kelan Shares. Capital turnover is not just a problem encountered by Kelan Shares. In fact, there are nearly tens of thousands of companies of different sizes in Qicheng.
Among enterprises, in other words, more than 90% of enterprises across the country will encounter the problem of "capital turnover difficulties". This is not uncommon.
"That means there is no problem with this company, right?" Xia Zekai asked simply.
Zhang Xu nodded repeatedly: "Judging from the investigation results, the problem is not big, but the time is too short and there is no way to find out the latest financial information of Kelan Shares. The specific results must be retained for five points."
This statement is very normal, and Xia Zekai also agrees with it. He knows it well.
"Okay, Xiao Zhang, I've worked hard for you again this time. I know what I'm doing. You go ahead and do your work first." Xia Zekai then said.
Zhang Xu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Boss, this is what I should do. You are too polite."
"Haha, okay, go ahead and get the external market survey report over. There will be other arrangements for you next time." Xia Zekai simply mentioned.
After letting Zhang Xu go and get busy, Xia Zekai picked up his cell phone, found Sun Xu's phone number of Kelan Co., Ltd., and dialed it directly.
