Riding the wind of rebirth

Britain, London, Cambridge, in a small coffee shop downstairs of a student dormitory, two oriental beauties were sitting at a small table, drinking not-so-delicious coffee and chatting in the winter sun.

"Shuyi, are you used to the Particle Fund?" Wei Yi asked the girl next to him while lazily stirring the small coffee cup in front of him with a small spoon.

The images of both of them are very different from when they were in China. Wei Yi is now dressed like a beauty from an international metropolis, while the British college style is more suitable for Jiang Shuyi. With her slightly curled hair and carefully made-up, she is no longer the obedient student girl in China. Her expression is much brighter, and she looks lively and confident.

"Not bad. Thank you, Sister Yi, for introducing me." Jiang Shuyi smiled slightly, and that smile made many boys in the cafe's heartbeats skip a beat: "Sir Thoros talked to me before he went on his trip to Asia. He said that he was very satisfied with my work. After the probation period is over this month, I can stay in his fund."

"These securities investors are really cool, at least cooler than my boss." Wei Yi also laughed: "I heard that Sir Soros is notoriously harsh, and working in his fund is quite stressful. What's more, you are a part-time worker with a student visa, but he treats you well."

"I am mainly responsible for collating information on the Asian financial market, so the pressure is not too great." Jiang Shuyi said, "It is mainly because I have gained a lot of advantages in terms of language."

"Yes, before, I only knew that you were good at English, but I didn't expect you could speak French and Cantonese." Wei Yi was a little surprised: "When did you learn these two languages?"

"I learned French when I was relaxing at a friend's place," Jiang Shuyi said faintly, "Sister Yi, you know, I spent some time in France before coming here. I have a good friend who studies art there."

"Is he from Jiachuan?" Wei Yi asked, "If he is from Jiachuan, I should know about it, right?"

"No, it was when Jiachuan Middle School and Shudu No. 7 Middle School were doing research and study exchanges. We studied at No. 7 Middle School as exchange students for a period of time and met each other there."

"As for Cantonese...Actually, I learned it from Zhou Zhi."

Hearing the name "Zhou Zhi", Wei Yi paused while stirring his coffee cup: "Are you still in touch?"

"No." Jiang Shuyi shook his head.

"I know a little about him." Wei Yi said, "Qiao Mu told me that he went to a very remote township in Liangshan Prefecture to conduct a survey on ethnic minority culture since last semester. I don't know what method he used, but he established two national agricultural bases to cultivate cherries and pomegranates, and he is preparing to lead the township out of poverty and become rich."

"Really?" Jiang Shuyi's face turned pale. "What I know is that Clover has just built its own COSTS server operating system and Changtian smart terminal, and completed a new round of strategic cooperation technology exchange agreements with Samsung and Sony, making the two stocks perform well in the market."

"It seems that you still care about him a lot." Wei Yi reached out and held Jiang Shuyi's hand on the table.

"There's nothing we can do." Jiang Shuyi smiled bitterly. "Clover Group is now one of the best information technology asset groups in Asia. Whether it's the profitability of the group's business, market foresight, or the complementarity of the industry within the group, it's all very balanced and complete."

"In addition, there are various intellectual property packages of AXA Fund, and cross-licensing and exchanges between partners. These constitute a huge security support and future profit expectations, not to mention its various venture capitals in the early stage. Many of them have now grown into unicorn companies... Sir Soros's trip to Asia this time is partly due to this." Jiang Shuyi shook his head: "I have to do Asian investment market analysis for Particle Fund. Samsung, Sony, Clover, and AXA Fund are all unavoidable."

Wei Yi sighed softly: "It's a pity for everyone that you are like this now." "Sister Yi..." Jiang Shuyi held Wei Yi's hand and looked up at her with tears in his eyes: "We have tried our best, but when I was with him, I couldn't let go of the nervousness, timidity, and... inferiority complex."

"FeiJie said that you were relatively quiet when you were together. How could it be so serious?" Wei Yi frowned.

"I don't know. It may have something to do with my childhood experiences. Anyway, he has always been a burden on my heart." Jiang Shuyi said, "The better he treats me, the greater the pressure I feel..."

"When this happens to him, he becomes even more cautious. Although he never says it, I can actually feel that I put a lot of pressure on him." Jiang Shuyi smiled, but tears still fell: "So separation is the best choice."

Wei Yi quickly opened her purse, took out a tissue from it and handed it to Jiang Shuyi: "No more talking, no more talking. Only the two parties involved know the most about emotional matters. Outsiders are just seeing things in the fog and cannot understand."

"Actually, I came to you this time just to ask you why Soros suddenly became interested in the Asian financial market?"

"He is an investor who likes to travel around the world and invest at the same time." Jiang Shuyi wiped away her tears and adjusted her mood: "He completed his first trip around the world from 1988 to 1990, and was recorded in the Guinness World Records for investing in emerging markets around the world while traveling."

"That time he invested in West Germany, Austria, Brazil, Singapore and other countries, and achieved great success. After returning, he founded the Roger West International Commodity Index (RICI)."

"This is his second trip around the world, and Asia, especially the Chinese financial market, is the focus of his investigation."

"But the main reason is that there are rumors that Clover has created an advanced computing system. However, there are two opinions now. One opinion is that this may become a great invention that will change the future. The other opinion is that this is impossible. Such an invention cannot appear in China, where information technology is backward."

"He also thinks it's unlikely, so he plans to go and take a look during this inspection."

Wei Yi said: "Then he doesn't know about your relationship with Elbow?"

"Of course I don't know." Jiang Shuyi shook his head and said, "But I suggested to him that he should pay attention to the Asian financial market. I also told him that Clover is the company with the best growth potential."

"In fact, you don't need me to remind you. That's the result of the business intelligence analysis."

"How big are the particle funds now? Can they still avoid the regulation of the trading commission in the major markets?"

"The fund is now a large-scale high-risk hedge fund. It mainly raises funds through private placement and invests in stocks, bonds, foreign exchange and commodities worldwide. Although it has branches in New York and London, it is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commissions of either place. Instead, it is registered offshore in Curacao, and its investors are all non-UK and US foreign investors, with the aim of evading regulation."

"As for the scale, the total assets are currently worth approximately 4 billion US dollars." (End of this chapter)
