Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family - Chapter 513: How to Read the Meaning of Eye Expression at a Critical Moment

Chapter 513 How to Read the Meaning of Eye Expression at a Critical Moment

"Tonight's performance was a little off."

"Eh?"

Luo Yang had anticipated a lot of things in his mind, but he didn't expect Min Huijun to ask for this.

"why?"

He was surprised and asked, "Give me a reason first?"

The reason why Dong Xuan brought Luo Yang to the dinner tonight was to help him expand his network of contacts. How could she deliberately show her bad side?

This little girl must have taken the wrong medicine.

Faced with Luo Yang's expression seeking explanation, Min Huijun bit her lip.

"My mother will also attend the banquet tonight."

"This is your home, your mother is here."

Halfway through his speech, Luo Yang suddenly stopped.

"Oh"

"No way?"

"Isn't it?"

"."

Faced with a series of teasing, Min Huijun blushed instantly.

"Just tell me whether you can help or not?"

She turned her head away, avoiding Luo Yang's sight: "It's impossible for us to be together anyway, so you might as well help me this time. I owe you a favor."

"Is that so?"

Luo Yang touched his chin and said, "No, I've suffered too much loss."

"what?"

Min Huijun was a little overwhelmed by the rejection so decisively.

"Most of the guests invited by your father have a place in the business circle of Shanghai. I can't wait to make friends with them, so how can I pretend to be stupid and leave a bad impression on others?"

Luo Yang shrugged and said, "As for the favor you owe, in comparison, the weight is more than one level lower. Anyone who is not a fool will know which one to choose."

Min Huijun: “.”

"Give me the phone."

Luo Yang took a half step forward and stretched out his hand, saying, "I've been away from the teahouse for long enough. I have to go back quickly. I'll behave normally tonight. As for you, I don't care how you slander me in private, as long as you don't do it in front of me. Is that all right?"

Min Huijun hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about Luo Yang's suggestion.

At this moment, hearty laughter came from the living room. It was obvious that several people were walking and communicating.

It looks like most of tonight's guests have arrived.

“I really went back.”

Luo Yang hooked his finger.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Min Huijun took a step back and thought for a moment before saying, "How about you try to speak less and act more mediocre?"

"cut!"

Luo Yang curled his lips and said, "I'm like a firefly in the dark night. I attract attention wherever I go. I can't hide even if I want to."

"."

"Why don't you just act yourself."

Min Huijun seemed to have found the direction all of a sudden: "Yes, just like before, with a shameless look, the kind of person who brags without thinking, anyway, I am the best in the world, I am the most awesome."

Why would I have the time to talk nonsense with you here?

The voices of the group of people became noticeably quieter. They were about to walk into the tea room, so Luo Yang was in no mood to continue chatting with Min Huijun.

He took a big step forward, put his hand around Min Huijun's waist, and reached for his cell phone.

Suddenly someone broke through her safe distance and Min Huijun subconsciously stepped back.

After two or three steps, he was caught up by Luo Yang.

In order to prevent Min Huijun from running away, Luo Yang put one hand on her waist, used his abdomen to stabilize her body, and reached around behind her with the other hand to retrieve his mobile phone.

"Don't cause trouble at night!"

Before leaving, Luo Yang warned, "I haven't settled the score with you yet. If you mess up my business again, I'll blame you!"

Min Huijun stamped her feet, and after a while, she calmed down and walked out of the chess and card room.

As she passed the living room, she didn't notice that a pair of eyes on the second floor were following her movements.

Tonight's dinner is a family dinner, and there are only nine people including Min Hongbo's family.

Because the dining table was a long one, we adopted the form of separate meals, with Western food as the main food and Chinese food as the supplement. Red wine was served with the meals. Of course, some people wanted to drink white wine, but in such an environment, no one suggested drinking white wine.

"I know everyone is busy and it's rare to get together, so please come to my place for a small gathering and increase daily communication."

The first dish was borscht, which was authentic and had a strong Maoist style.

After the second pan-fried cod dish was served, Min Hongbo raised his red wine glass and said, "First of all, I would like to welcome a new friend to tonight's dinner. Don't underestimate Mr. Luo because he is young. He has done a great job in his career and has a bright future."

Although they had introduced their names during the greetings in the tea room, when he was specifically mentioned at the dinner table, everyone's eyes were still focused on Luo Yang's face.

“Thank you Mr. Min for your compliment.”

Luo Yang raised his glass an inch higher again and toasted back to Min Hongbo.

Then he moved the cup in his hand, glanced around the table and said, "Although the group has many companies, there are only two or three that can be considered to have potential and bright prospects. The rest, even if they develop further, will only be worth tens or hundreds of millions at most."

Min Hongbo: “.”

Dong Xuan: "."

Everyone:"."

There are several groups of people. Mr. Min is always polite, but you are really rude?

Among the people at the table, only the two people diagonally opposite each other had different expressions.

The one with shining eyes is Min Huijun, and the one with inexplicable meaning is Wang Jingyi, Min Huijun's mother and Min Hongbo's wife.

"Hahaha"

Min Hongbo used laughter to break up the awkward atmosphere: "I have said long ago that our circle must accommodate more young talents. This pioneering spirit alone is worth recalling."

The first glass of wine was then served.

In order to take care of Luo Yang, Dong Xuan sat next to him. When she put down the wine glass, she touched the wall with her legs.

A glance passed over: What's going on?

Luo Yang curled his lips, waved his legs back, and motioned for her to look at the 1 o'clock direction.

Dong Xuan: "."

My dear ones, who understands what it means to leave me alone?

Did he think I was teasing him?

When the third dish of pan-fried foie gras came up, Min Hongbo didn't dare to mention Luo Yang anymore.

"This second glass of wine is for President Dong."

Old Min smiled and said, "I remember at the dinner party at the end of last year, it was Director Dong. He got promoted in the blink of an eye. He must take good care of the old friends present in the future!"

"Mr. Min, you're welcome."

Dong Xuan was much more modest than Luo Yang. She smiled and said, "To be honest, after I got promoted at the beginning of the year, I have had dinner with everyone individually, but never gathered together like tonight. I think it's mainly because I don't have the appeal of President Min. Now I can take advantage of President Min's party to toast everyone back with a glass of wine."

Look, this is what we call high emotional intelligence.

This wine tastes as smooth as foie gras.

Not long after, Min Hongbo received the third glass of wine. According to the rules at the table, after three rounds of drinks, they could start chatting.

A group of bosses, of course, talked about business matters.

"Chi Na, it's hard to make money this year. My business volume has not recovered yet. In the first two months of the year, it is only 70% of the previous level. It seems that the situation in Europe and the United States is still not very good." The person who spoke was Kang Yaoyang, the chairman of the Modu Hongyun Ocean Shipping Group and also a shareholder of the Modu Light Textile Group.

"The turmoil of the 08 subprime mortgage crisis has not completely passed."

"Europe is not doing well either. The sovereign debt crisis has not yet been completely resolved. The European Central Bank is still trying to rescue the market."

Many of the people here have businesses related to foreign trade, and they all have feelings when talking about the external economic environment.

"Laomi is almost through with it!"

After finishing the last piece of grilled lamb chops on the plate, Luo Yang wiped his hands and said, "They have finished harvesting in Europe and recovered some of their losses. With some internal adjustments, the overall situation will slowly recover in the second half of the year."

"Is America reaping the benefits of Europe?"

Kang Yaoyang was sitting opposite Luo Yang. Hearing the young man's shocking words again, he couldn't help but laugh: "When did it happen?"

"It was the US who triggered the European sovereign credit crisis."

Luo Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although the EU's internal reasons account for the majority, Moody's falsified data and downgraded the sovereign credit ratings of Eastern Europe and Greece at a critical time are the main culprits that triggered the European crisis."

Shi Po shocked!

You know, the European debt crisis has not yet completely ended.

Although Moody's fraud was later disclosed and became widely known to the public, there is no news about it now.

"Oh?"

Kang Yaoyang was stunned for a moment: "How did Mr. Luo know about this? It seems that there is no relevant information disclosed to the outside world?"

"Major international economic events, especially those involving the United States, can be detected by looking at the movements of one person."

"Who?"

"Buffett!"

Luo Yang gave the answer without thinking: "You can tell by looking at whether his investment company has entered the market. It would be strange if this guy didn't enter the market in advance to harvest such a large economic volume in Europe. On the surface, this person looks like an investor, but in fact, he is a microcosm of Wall Street capital."

"Mr. Luo also has investments in overseas capital markets?"

While everyone was still digesting what Luo Yang had just said, Min Hongbo suddenly spoke up: "It seems that Mr. Luo is very familiar with American capital?"

I have to thank Douyin Dad for this.

After the rise of self-media, too many bloggers have analyzed the capital behind the United States and exposed certain economic figures and economic groups who are hiding behind the scenes to control this country.

Like now, how many people know Blackstone, Vanguard and BlackRock?

These are the world's largest investment management companies, richer than the sovereign funds of the white hat tycoons in the Middle East, not to mention the influence behind them.

“There is some investment, but not much.”

Luo Yang replied to Min Hongbo: "Mr. Min, the overseas investment market is too deep. I dare not intervene too much. I can only play in the shallow waters."

Speaking of investment, yes there is some, but I just bought stocks of some companies. Can that be considered overseas investment, right?

"I never thought that Mr. Luo, at such a young age, actually has experience in overseas investment. It's really unexpected!"

When Min Hongbo said this, he couldn't help but look at Dong Xuan.

She was the one who brought the person here, and her knowledge of Luo Yang was limited to Dong Xuan's brief introduction and his rough surface understanding.

"Mr. Luo's group has an investment company registered in HK."

Dong Xuan was also confused by Luo Yang's words, because she didn't know whether Gray Rhino Capital had any moves in the overseas capital market. After all, the company was first registered in HK, and at a relatively early time, it seemed to be in the first year when Luo Yang started the company.

Could it be that this guy’s first pot of gold for starting a business came from the overseas capital market?

After Dong Xuan replied to Min Hongbo, she looked at Luo Yang with her thigh under the table again: Is that so?

Luo Yang said: The male rabbit's feet are confused, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurry; two rabbits are walking side by side, how can I tell which is male and which is female?

Only gods can interpret it.

Dong Xuan rolled her eyes at Luo Yang.

However, the conversation at the dinner table suddenly turned to the international capital market and even the domestic stock market.

The terrible thing is that Luo Yang was not afraid at all and even interjected a word or two from time to time.

His insights are either shocking or eye-opening.

"Yes, yes, keep it up, just keep it up!"

There was a person present who was cheering for Luo Yang in his heart. This person was Min Huijun, who was sitting next to Min Hongbo's wife on his left.

Seeing Luo Yang's true character at this moment, she thought that her previous request in the chess and card room had worked.

Therefore, the look in his eyes became much softer.

But Min Huijun was so busy observing Luo Yang that she didn't pay attention to her mother beside her.

Wang Jingyi looked at her daughter, then at Luo Yang, as if she was thinking about something.

"Speaking of investment, it's just a coincidence."

When the main dish of tonight, grilled steak, was served, Min Hongbo took the lead again: "I have a project here, are you interested in helping me?"

Luo Yang only realized it now.

He really thought that these bosses with a net worth of at least tens of billions were gathering together just to have dinner and bond.

I don't have that much free time, okay?

"Old Min, how big is the plate?"

The person who asked was Xu Maohe, who owns several star-rated hotels: "What are the cycle and rate of return?"

He runs a hotel business and has ample cash flow. It would be a waste if he didn't use the spare funds to invest.

"This plate is probably around 20 billion."

Min Hongbo actually didn't shy away from Luo Yang. He replied while cutting steak: "The usage period is half a year, and the return rate is 15%."

After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Dong Xuan.

"From my side, the bridge fee, including the trust, is about 7 points."

Dong Xuan put down her knife and fork while speaking, raised her red wine glass and took a sip elegantly: "Of course, if you can come up with cash like Mr. Xu, we won't charge the bridge toll, only 4% will be charged."

No wonder.

Luo Yang realized it again too late.

Why does Dong Xuan know this group of local bosses in Shanghai? Various signs indicate that this is not the first time this has happened.

The last time we were negotiating terms, this woman said she would help Luo Yang enter a higher circle. The root of this is here.

Luo Yang even felt that Dong Xuan was not a front-stage person, because before this year, she was not yet the deputy governor. According to this logic, she was just someone else's glove.

There were 9 people present, excluding Min Hongbo's wife and daughter, Dong Xuan and Luo Yang, and the remaining 5 were making glutinous rice balls.

20 billion, on average each family has to come up with 4 million. Even if someone asks Dong Xuan for help, the bank's approval is required.

Just when everyone was talking, Luo Yang really wanted to say something.

"Don't you ask about any projects you're working on?"

Just thinking about it makes me worried for everyone here.

"Old Min, let's talk about this project in detail later while we have tea."

Finally someone said this.

Min Hongbo nodded.

"Mr. Luo."

In an instant, his eyes turned to Luo Yang: "Are you interested in helping me?"

"what?"

Do I have a share?
