To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1325 Meng Chang's Another Way to Make Money

Saturday, April 11.

Today is a day off, and Meng Chang doesn't have any work on hand. After all, everything is ready for the promotion of "Real Estate Agency Simulator".

But this weekend he didn't stay at home, but went out, preparing to meet an old classmate who had just returned from abroad and hadn't seen him for two years.

The two met at a nearby Moyu Internet Cafe.

"Fan Xiaodong! This way!"

Seeing his old classmate come in, Meng Chang raised his hand to say hello.

Fan Xiaodong was quite tall, wearing a long windbreaker, he looked quite British.

When he saw Meng Chang, a smile appeared on his face immediately.

But after the smile, there was a hint of surprise soon.

After sitting down in the coffee area of ​​Moyu Internet Cafe, Fan Xiaodong was a little puzzled: "Brother, I haven't seen you for two years, how did you get into this?"

"I heard before, didn't you attract investment and start a fast food brand yourself? What's the situation now?"

Fan Xiaodong and Meng Chang are college classmates, they share bunk beds and have a very good relationship.

Moreover, both of them are very smart people, no matter what they do, they are very consistent, and they are well-deserved outstanding students in school.

After graduation, their trajectories were completely different. Meng Chang chose to stay in China and joined a large company, preparing to accumulate experience and wait for an opportunity to start a business; while Fan Xiaodong studied abroad and is currently working in a financial company in the United States.

In Fan Xiaodong's impression, Meng Chang has always paid great attention to his own image, exuding an elite temperament from inside to outside.

Moreover, I heard that he founded a fast food brand in China, and it has become very popular, which made Fan Xiaodong very envious.

After all, although he works in a financial company and earns a lot of money, it is still incomparable with the expected income of a successful entrepreneur like Meng Chang.

But what happened after that, Fan Xiaodong was not so clear.

Firstly, he himself was very busy with work, and secondly, Meng Chang silently cut off contact with most of his friends and classmates after his failure in starting a business, and he was even more in retreat in Tengda, so the situation of the two of them was not shared in time.

It wasn't until Fan Xiaodong was about to return to China that he got in touch with Meng Chang and made a detour to Jingzhou to meet him.

After the meeting, Fan Xiaodong was very surprised. What happened to Meng Chang?
Although he was still full of energy, he obviously became a lot more unkempt, and was no longer as refined as before.

And in terms of temperament, the feeling seems to have changed.

Regardless of whether the business is successful or unsuccessful, Meng Chang has no reason to be in this state.

According to Fan Xiaodong's understanding of Meng Chang, if the venture is successful, then Meng Chang will definitely have a big fanfare and his tail can reach the sky; if the venture fails, then Meng Chang will most likely be disheartened and devastated.

But now this state... feels much calmer and calmer.

What exactly is going on?

Meng Chang smiled, called the waiter over and ordered two cups of coffee, and then said, "The cold noodle girl failed, and I owe a debt. However, there is also a good thing."

Fan Xiaodong was stunned for a moment: "Can there be good things? What good things?"

He was very surprised. After all, he also knew the risks of starting a business in China. Meng Chang said that he was in debt, which is definitely not a small number.

Meng Chang paused and said, "I have met an expert."

"Boss Pei from Tengda knows it. Although I fell into his hands to start a business, he also taught me a lot. I think I'm about to be a teacher."

"When I become a teacher, let alone pay off these debts easily, I will definitely make a comeback!"

Fan Xiaodong was silent for a moment: "...It's very good that you can maintain such an optimistic attitude."

"However, I still don't quite understand. Why do you want to thank Mr. Pei for starting a business? You also said that you learned something from him?"

"You sound a lot like PUA or Stockholm Syndrome..."

The corner of Meng Chang's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't talk nonsense, do I look like that kind of fool?"

"Whether it's brainwashing or learning the real thing, I can tell the difference myself."

"Forget it, it's too complicated here, and what I've learned is too profound, and I can't explain it clearly with you in a few words."

"Let's talk about you, how is your work doing recently?"

Fan Xiaodong took a sip of his coffee: "That's it. Floating abroad, you can't live without starvation. The income is not bad, but in the environment I live in... no matter how much I earn, it's not enough."

"After work, I occasionally play rice stocks by myself. Anyway, I can make a little money."

Based on Meng Chang's understanding of Fan Xiaodong, he must be modest. His so-called small money may be the wages of some working-class people for several years.

But Meng Chang didn't think that Fan Xiaodong was pretending. After all, they were both such people. After earning a lot, they were not so sensitive to the concept of the magnitude of money. Maybe the money was really just small money in Fan Xiaodong's eyes.

Speaking of rice stocks, Meng Chang suddenly thought of something: "Hey, by the way, is Jujia Group listed on rice stocks?"

Fan Xiaodong nodded: "That's right, the recent gains have been pretty good, do you want to buy some? I can help."

Meng Chang immediately shook his head: "Buy? Of course you can't buy it. If you trust me, I suggest shorting it."

Fan Xiaodong was stunned: "Short? Jujia Group just released its financial report for the third quarter at the beginning of this month. The development is going well, and all the data including the market share have also increased slightly."

"As far as Jujia Group's current market share is concerned, it is too early for other similar companies to pose a threat to it."

"The previous 'formaldehyde room' turmoil has basically subsided, and it is not a serious injury. The stock price that fell earlier has also begun to rise back. It seems that there will be no major public opinion incidents in the near future. On the contrary, it is their recent publicity. Created a nice heat.”

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a small rise. How can you go short?"

The so-called short selling is popularly called "buying down". Only when the stock falls, you will make money, and if it rises, you will lose money.

Moreover, the risk of shorting is extremely high, and the loss is theoretically unlimited.

In this case, shorting Home Home Group, do you think you have a long life?

Meng Chang took a sip of coffee: "It's hard to explain the specific situation clearly in a few words."

"I can only say that the project I am working on now may directly cause a devastating blow to the reputation of Jujia Group and create a huge crisis of public opinion against them."

"Of course, it's hard to say to what extent it can be achieved. After all, Jujia Group has a big business, and it's hard to hurt a muscle. But I'm sure that this time the turmoil will not be small."

Fan Xiaodong blinked: "The project you are working on now?"

"How much money is needed to cause a huge public opinion crisis to the Jujia Group?"

"Did you catch their handle?"

Meng Chang shook his head: "There is no direct reason why they broke the law, and there is no big scandal."

"I can't disclose the funding, I can only say a lot."

"But that's beside the point."

"There is a better way to attract enough attention and create a crisis of public opinion."

"I can't explain it to you in detail now, and it's hard to explain it clearly. I can only say, if you believe me, you can consider taking a small amount of money to short the Home Group. If you lose, don't blame me. If you make money, invite me Just have a meal."

"I don't have any money right now. If I have money, I will definitely spend all my money to go short."

Fan Xiaodong couldn't believe it: "So confident?"

Meng Chang nodded: "That's right."

"Where does your self-confidence come from?" Fan Xiaodong asked again.

Meng Chang said firmly: "From a higher-dimensional perspective."

"The Jujia Group is a huge monster on the surface, but in fact it has a fatal weakness at its root, but most people can't catch it and have the ability to catch it."

"Because they either don't have the volume and influence, or their butts are not clean."

"But Boss Pei happens to have this ability and this idea."

"This is a method that only Tengda can use, and I happen to be the executor."

Fan Xiaodong didn't ask any more questions and fell into a brief silence.

After a while, he nodded: "Okay! Then I will take out a sum of money to go short, I believe you!"

"I don't blame you if I lose at that time, if I win, I will share the money with you!"

"We don't need to be out of touch with our relationship. As long as you have such accurate news in the future, you can tell me, isn't it good for us to make money from these big companies together?"

If someone told Fan Xiaodong to be short on Jujia Group, he would definitely not believe it.

But he and Meng Chang are old classmates after all, they trust each other, and they also know that Meng Chang is very smart, although the things they do are sometimes risky, the risks and benefits are directly proportional.

There must be a reason for being so sure this time.

Moreover, people like him have a much stronger desire for opportunities than ordinary people.

Meng Chang nodded and didn't say much. Anyway, by the end of this month, we will almost see the outcome.

Fan Xiaodong asked again: "Hey, you said that Mr. Pei has this idea, and you happen to be the executor? Then Mr. Pei has already been short, right?"

Meng Chang didn't expect him to ask such a question, he was taken aback for a moment and said, "Then I don't know."

"However, it seems that Mr. Pei has never been involved in the stock market. If he wants to, he can open a securities or fund company for fun. I believe many people will rush to give him money."

"Maybe it's because the rank is too high, so I don't care about these low-level tricks."

"He used the money to make games, make movies, do real estate, or make investments. None of them made less money than playing the stock market, and there was no risk, because his success rate in doing these things was too high."

Fan Xiaodong nodded: "That's right, if entrepreneurship and venture capital can be 100% successful, who would still play the stock market? Only poor people like us can make some quick money by pointing at the stock market."

"Then, when will the public opinion crisis you mentioned explode?"

Meng Chang thought for a while: "At the end of this month or the beginning of next month, it is difficult to pinpoint a specific date, but it will not be later than the 15th of next month."

Because there is still a certain amount of time for public opinion to ferment after the release of "Real Estate Agency Simulator", Meng Chang himself is not sure how long this time will be. If it is fast, it may explode in two or three days, and if it is slow, it may take a week.

But anyway, it won't be too long.

Fan Xiaodong hurriedly said, "It's accurate enough! Then I'll make arrangements right away!"
