Chapter 173 Fool, fool and fool

Xian Yaowen's proposal made Narcissus a little excited, but when she thought of the past, she regained her composure.

She once fell in love with a man, believed that he wanted to take her ashore, and gave her the money she had finally saved to him for business, but he took the money and never returned it.

From then on, she sealed her heart with money and no longer believed in men. For her, men became a channel for her to make money. She lay at the mouth of the channel and waited for the money to flow through her body. If she met an ignorant person who refused to take the initiative, Zha puts money in, and she has a way to suck it out.

This is the way to treat bad men. The Thirteenth Master in front of you is also a bad man, but he is different from other men. Underneath the talk and frivolousness, there is no lack of respect for yourself, no condescending pity or discrimination, you can feel it. He has been talking to himself as an equal.

"Oh, it's rare to meet a man like this. That's all. The blood of pigeons won't be on you."

Xian Yaowen's heartfelt words, which were not delivered at the right time, still had a certain effect, and Narcissus gave up the fairy jump plan she was planning to use on him.

She probably wouldn't have known about her change of heart and avoided close contact with Colt.

Originally, Xian Yaowen was going to wait for Narcissus to become clean and smooth after taking a bath in the hotel room. He would take out his horse-branded roller, which was officially named "Colt M1903", show her the pony pattern on the handle, and then put it on The tip of the gun was shoved into her mouth, playing a game of truth or dare.

If Narcissus is not having a good time, he plans to cut some of her waterfall-like hair and make a cup of judicial milk tea that he has never heard of before and ask her to try it. Now, depending on the change in the expression on her face, this arrangement It can be canceled and he can still maintain his image as a "good guy".

The change happened without saying a word. Narcissus mentioned that she liked the French food in the hotel banquet hall very much, and she wanted Xian Yaowen to spend money to order more delicacies. She also mentioned that she hadn't seen a movie in a long time, and she wanted to watch a movie at the Guanghua Theater next door to the hotel.

Xian Yaowen agreed one by one. When booking a seat in the banquet hall, he chose to leave his seat and go to the front desk to handle it, and made some romantic arrangements behind Narcissus' back.

When he had finished processing and was about to leave, he turned around and saw a woman smiling at him.

"Xian."

"Grace, check in?"

Xian Yaowen did not expect that Grace Victor Sassoon would come to Singapore and meet here by chance.

"Yes."

After Grace smiled politely, she returned to her iconic dead face. She wondered if something good had happened recently. Her face was stiffer than before. Xian Yaowen's debt to her had at least doubled.

"Traveling or?"

"Not working."

"Coleb Pier?"

As early as more than 70 years ago, HSBC established a branch in Collier Pier, Singapore.

"Correct."

"Do you have any plans for dinner tomorrow?"

"No." After saying that, for some unknown reason, Grace added, "I have no plans today either."

"Sorry, I've already made an appointment today, in the hotel banquet hall." Xian Yaowen apologized and asked: "Six o'clock?"

The disappointment on Grace's face flashed, and she said, "I will be at the bank tomorrow. Please wait for me at the door of the bank."

"OK." Xian Yaowen smiled and said: "When you go to work, please bring more casual clothes. I will arrange dinner on the street tomorrow, and we will taste Singapore's food together."

"Ok."

Grace is looking forward to tomorrow's dinner.

Xian Yaowen nodded slightly and said, "Grace, someone is waiting for me, excuse me."

After returning to their seats and sitting for a while, Mai Zhihong, who had to wait, arrived. After chatting for a while, the three of them went to the banquet hall and took their seats.

As soon as he sat down, Mai Zhihong took out a three-pack cigar holster from his pocket, opened it, took out a cigar and gave it to Xian Yiowen. Xian Yiowen took a closer look and saw that it was the Juliet No. 2 he was smoking. He took it and put After smelling it under his nose, he found that the aroma of the cigar was very pure, and the oil carrying the main aroma components had not evaporated. It was much better than what he was smoking himself.

What he has been smoking is the stock he bought from London last time. By now, the cigars have dried out and the oil has almost evaporated. He can only humidify the cigars for maintenance, but it is impossible to return the aroma to the original.

The aroma of the cigar is mellow enough, but mixed with the smell of cowhide, the cigar is fresh enough, the cigar cover is new enough, and it is Juliette No. 2. These all show that Mai Zhihong is interested in him. It goes without saying that he cares about him so much. , he has the interests that the other party needs, and Narcissus and Mai Zhihong have a close friendship.

The thought flashed through his mind. Xian Yaowen put the cigar on the table and said with a smile: "Mr. Mai is an expert who understands and loves cigars. It has been nearly seven months old, but it can be maintained so well. Wait. I have to ask Mr. Mai for advice."

Mai Zhihong took out a cigar from the cigar case and held it in his mouth. He used his actions to hide his panic and think about how to deal with it. After a while, he also smiled and said: "I don't dare to be an expert. After smoking cigars for several years, I have summarized something. My experience, if Mr. Xian doesn’t mind it, we can discuss it carefully next time.”

"That would be great." Xian Yaowen laughed at himself: "I have been smoking cigars for a long time, and I am addicted to it, but I can't say that I have any research on cigars, and I can't go on a big stage."

As he said that, he patted Narcissus' hand on the table and said, "Mr. Mai, let's not talk about cigars for now. Miss Narcissus and I have agreed to go to the Guanghua Theater to watch a movie. We might as well get down to business."

Hearing this, Mai Zhihong sat upright and asked, "Is Mr. Xian bullish or bearish?"

"Did Mr. Mai bring a rubber price list?"

"Have."

"Please show me, thank you."

Taking the price list handed over by Mai Zhihong, Xian Yaowen looked at it carefully.

The price list only shows the market prices starting from early July last year, and is based on weekly basis, which is not detailed enough, but it is enough for reference.

Looking at the entire table, the price per pound of rubber fluctuates between 0.12 yuan and 0.23 yuan. This price is very abnormal. If the rubber workers are not treated as slaves and the costs of other links are minimized, this price will not be profitable at all. picture.

His mind was running at high speed, and based on the current situation of the rubber industry, the psychology of relevant personnel and other parameters, he figured out which range the rubber price would reach in the first wave of rebound when the good news came out. He came up with a number, and then calculated the rubber price from 0.58 yuan to 0.72 yuan. Measured by the reasonable price range of 0.9 yuan, even if it is relatively conservatively estimated, it is not a big problem for the price of rubber to break through 1 yuan. Even if it reaches yuan, it is not a pipe dream.

In the long run, the price of rubber will definitely reach 2 yuan in the next one or two years, probably around 2.5 yuan, and it will be impossible to go higher. This number has already exceeded the price of synthetic rubber. No matter how fanatical the people involved in the hype are, they will Will be awakened by a basin of cold water. You can lay an ambush near this number and harvest a wave of overheated people.

After reading the price list, Xian Yaowen gathered it and handed it back to Mai Zhihong, "Mr. Mai, I'm getting ready to go. I hope you can help find some opponents for me."

"How does Mr. Xian plan to play? Bullish or bearish? How many contracts?" Mai Zhihong asked eagerly.

"What's the standard contract amount?"

"fifty thousand."

“Malaysia?”

"Yes."

Xian Yaowen put his fingers on the table and tapped rhythmically, "Mr. Mai, I want to play it more formally. I will ask HSBC to provide me with a guarantee. Similarly, I also hope that the person who takes over my contract has a bank guarantee. Moreover, it can only be a big bank. The banks that I can accept include HSBC, OCBC, and Postal Savings, the three local banks in Singapore, or a big international bank from abroad.

In short, I must ensure that I can get the money during settlement. In addition, when I say guarantee, I mean to settle directly with the bank. In this way, I don’t have to spend time researching who the opponent is and whether he has the strength to settle. "

In the past, people who played rubber futures may be trustworthy to each other, but it is hard to say for a foreigner like him. The person who takes his contract must be a land tiger. The possibility of joining forces to bully a foreigner is very high, although he has the ability to deal with untrustworthy people. The opponent retaliates, but he is seeking money, not killing. What he needs is to get money in the simplest and most direct way.

“Mr.

"I naturally believe in the strength of the exchange. As I said just now, I just want things to be simpler. After all, my investment will be huge, not just one or two contracts, but twenty or thirty."

Xian Yaowen paused deliberately, and then said: "Moreover, I want to play a three-month call contract with a price of 9 cents. After reaching this position, the opponent can settle in advance or settle after expiration...

If the price does not reach 9 cents after expiration, I will purchase physical rubber from the opponent at a price of 9 cents for delivery according to the contract amount. On the contrary, the opponent can freely choose the delivery method. "

He believes that when the good news comes out, no one will choose to make physical delivery with him. When the price rises, as long as he holds it in his hands for a while, he can make back some of the price difference. However, in order to carry out physical delivery, the difference in price must also be delivered based on the quantity calculated based on the glue price on the date of signing the contract. This loss is both inside and outside, and there is no benefit in paying for settlement at all.

His play seems a bit unfair to his opponent, but he is betting on a price difference that is several times higher. To put it more exaggeratedly, it is equivalent to a non-Bharat Lottery Center internal leader betting against the Sikhs on "what can he do?" "If you win the five million jackpot", if he loses, he will pay the other party 100 million; if the other party loses, he will pay him 700 million.

It's obvious who has a greater chance of winning. Although the stakes are unequal, anyone who wants to bet against him will be like a crucian carp crossing the river.

As soon as he finished speaking, Narcissus kicked him under the table and stared at him as if he were a fool.

On the contrary, Mai Zhihong's expression became very exciting. He recalled the magpie standing on the tree at the door when he went out this morning. No wonder the cry was so sweet. It turned out that he had a happy event today and stumbled into the God of Wealth.

"Mr. Xian, do you really want to play like this?"

Xian Yaowen nodded.

After Mai Zhihong considered his words in his mind, he said sincerely: "I need to tell you that playing this way is very risky, and you may lose all your money."

Xian Yaowen nodded again, "Mr. Mai, I am very aware of the risks involved. You just need to tell me in a positive tone, can you find an opponent to accept 40 contracts within three days?"

"Yes." Mai Zhihong said simply.

It's rare to encounter such a fat sheep, how could he let it go so easily? It's too easy to find an opponent. Not to mention other people, even he himself plans to piece together a contract. In just three months, he will Have the capital to buy a shophouse.

Xian Yaowen stood up and extended his right hand to Mai Zhihong. Mai Zhihong immediately responded. The two shook hands in mid-air and said to each other that they are happy to cooperate.

After releasing his hand, Xian Yaowen did not sit down. He patted Narcissus on the shoulder, bowed and said in her ear: "I will give you a small gift."

As he said that, under Narcissus' expectant eyes, he came to sit down in front of the piano in the middle of the banquet hall, tried playing a few notes, and after getting familiar with the pitch, he looked at Narcissus and said, ""Dream of Hometown and Mother," a gift. To Miss Narcissus.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers wandered over the keys, and as the accompaniment flowed slowly, he hummed softly: "Dream of home, dear old house! My childhood and mother's home; often when I wake up Time is a sweet search, I keep dreaming of home and mother;
Home, dear home, the happy home of childhood, the sweetest joy when I played with my brothers and sisters, and roamed the hills and valleys with my mother..."

After singing a section in English, he switched to Japanese and continued humming the same song "Traveler's Sorrow" with new lyrics.

"Traveler's Sorrow" basically maintains the tune and artistic conception of "Dream of Hometown and Mother", expressing his longing for his hometown and mother. Later, Li Shutong took the tune of "Traveler's Sorrow" and re-wrote the lyrics into "Farewell" with a completely different artistic conception.

"Late autumn night, the journey sky; lonely memories, a person's sorrow; nostalgic hometown, kind parents; walking in dreams, the road back to my hometown..."

After humming again, the rhythm of his piano suddenly changed. Some guests in the banquet hall suddenly felt a little moist when they heard the changed tune.

The same goes for Narcissus, with moist eyes and murmuring "Amu".

"In the light of the moonlight, a talented scholar rides a white horse across a lotus pond. On the back of the lotus pond, he grows leeks and flowers to get married. There is a pond in front of the in-laws' house. There are eight-foot-long carps. They use the first segment for food and the last segment for begging. Ye Niang. Ask for a short Ye Niang, and cook a rice boy that smells delicious; ask for a tall Ye Niang, and cook a rice boy that smells like fire smoke."

"Moonlight" is circulated in Guangdong and Fujian. There are versions in various dialects and lyrics. Each place has subtle differences. Xian Yaowen sang the Hakka version. I listened to an old Hakka man on his way back to the hotel from the lawyer's office in the morning. Humming on the roadside, he listened to it thoroughly. Because it was not much different from the version he was familiar with, he was able to learn and sell it now.

It was better for Colt not to play. He felt that the narcissus he held before was not enough. If some nostalgia hits her heart, she probably won't get into trouble.

Pulling the trigger to kill is easy, but the aftermath is very troublesome. He taught the Armadillo Team step by step. Without seeing it in person, he can restore the scene of Qi Longque and the three people's "spring cleaning". The scene cannot be made small. Follow the normal process. And efficiency, the police should come to him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to question him, and he still has a drama to play about spending money to eliminate disasters.

He really didn't want to cause trouble and perform an extra performance during the encore. It would be best if Narcissus could handle it simply.

After the performance, Xian Yaowen returned to the table, hugged Narcissus from behind, kissed her on the cheek, and whispered in her ear: "Do you like this gift?"

Some questions don't need to be answered in words. Narcissus turned his head and took a sip of fragrance on Xian Yaowen's cheek.

Looking at the two people chatting with each other, Mai Zhihong on the other side was secretly happy, "This young man is not only a fool, but also a lover. He has true feelings for a pipa boy, and even helps him count the money after he is sold. Tsk, Narcissus is very good at serving people. It seems that tonight is a silly young man. I am happy today. I will find a place to have fun later."

After finishing chatting with Narcissus, Xian Yaowen gave Mai Zhihong a shy smile and said, "Mr. Mai, I'm sorry for neglecting you. Let's order food now and open a bottle of red wine and have a few drinks."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Now that the beauty is here, it's more important for Mr. Xian to take care of Miss Narcissus. You can pretend that I don't exist."
