Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 637 Curious Old Ginger
After returning to Shanghai, Luo Yang resumed his previous work routine.

The only thing is that he has to travel to Guangzhou on business every two weeks, which was one of the conditions for the acquisition agreed to by Liang Yuxin.

In addition, the focus is on the group's new businesses.

Because of the foreseeable returns in the crude oil futures market, the bottleneck that was originally limited by funds has been broken.

Whether it is the preparation and construction of Huayang Spicy Noodles Food Factory or the establishment of the content website, the progress has suddenly accelerated a lot.

Time flies and it is already mid-June.

The day I returned to school to attend the graduation ceremony happened to be a weekend and the weather was sunny.

Luo Yang is undoubtedly an outstanding representative among this graduating class. Therefore, Luo Jianguo and Gu Honglan were invited to the school to watch the ceremony and witnessed the whole process of their son being awarded a bachelor's degree from the audience.

Afterwards we took a group photo.

The campus is full of people wearing bachelor's gowns, with family, teachers, classmates, and best friends.

Luo Yang was naturally no exception.

"eggplant."

Accompanied by the national unified slogan, dormitory 306 completed the group photo.

All four of them had smiles on their faces.

Chang Sheng is in Shanghai, Chen Xufeng is working on a pilot park project in Yang City, and Luo Yang travels between the two places every week, so it is easy for them to meet.

Only Lu Hao is special, as he is about to be transferred to the new project in Jiangcheng.

But it’s not too far away from the Demon City.

Besides, in fact, during the second half of the senior year, the four people in 306 were rarely together and it was difficult for them to get together.

So there is nothing to be reluctant about.

Even when we had our farewell drink last night, I didn't feel too sad.

"Are you really not going to date tonight?"

The group photo was almost taken, and the four of them were sitting lazily on the steps in front of the teaching building, chatting.

Changsheng is the most active.

This guy drove the Land Rover Range Rover that became famous because of the TV series "Snail House". Although it was not the pure imported version that cost more than 2 million yuan, his model cost more than 1 million yuan. He couldn't wait to show it off everywhere.

"I can't do it anymore. I still haven't recovered from last night."

Chen Xufeng has the lowest alcohol tolerance, and his leave has only ended today, so he has to be at the project site early tomorrow morning.

"I have a dinner party tonight."

Later, Jiang Yuanshan, Xiao Yujun and Jiang Fan will come to the Magic City together.

Soochow University's graduation ceremony happened to be held today, which was why Jiang Fan was unable to attend Luo Yang's graduation ceremony.

The reason why the family is meeting up in Shanghai is because Xiao Yujun and Jiang Fan are flying to Europe for a trip tomorrow and plan to stay near Pudong International Airport tonight.

The two families happened to have dinner together in Shanghai that evening.

"Boss, there is no hope for you and Liu Qian?"

The graduation ceremony of the Foreign Languages ​​University ended yesterday, but Liu Qian has not been seen until today. No wonder Chang Sheng thinks so.

"She couldn't convince her family, and I didn't want to give up such a good opportunity. Neither side was willing to give in, so we had no choice but to break up."

When Lu Hao was drinking last night, his eyes were red, but now he no longer looks sad.

"Yes, I wouldn't give up such a good opportunity if I were you."

Chang Sheng put on a face of a life mentor: "If you give in, in a few years if the relationship between the two of you is not satisfactory, then if you break up at that time, not only will you lose the person, but you will also be left with nothing. This is the greatest sorrow."

There is nothing wrong with what he said, the key is that this guy always likes to add unnecessary details.

As he spoke, he patted Lu Hao on the shoulder and said, "Boss, there are plenty of beautiful women out there. When you get promoted to project manager in two years and earn tens of thousands a month, you won't be short of women around you. If it doesn't work, I'll still be here. There are so many outstanding girls in my circle. I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed by the choice."

"tsk"

After experiencing the hardships in the workplace, Lu Hao also grew up rapidly.

He turned his head and looked at Chang Sheng, and said in a teasing tone: "Young Master, there are so many outstanding girls in your circle, why do you have to choose Shi Huining?"

"I rely on!"

When this name was mentioned, Changsheng's defense was immediately broken.

"Can you please not mention this woman?"

"I think she's pretty good."

Luo Yang added with a smile: "She didn't bother you at such an important occasion as the graduation ceremony. She was quite respectful to you in public. As for private matters, if you don't tell others, no one else will know, right?"

After hearing these words, Lu Hao and Chen Xufeng couldn't help laughing.

Changsheng's expression suddenly drooped.

"That's strange to say."

Chen Xufeng saw that the situation was a little awkward, so he changed the subject and said, "We studied civil engineering, and Luo Yang was the first one to officially come into contact with this industry. But after graduation, it was the three of us who were just making a living in the professional circle."

“There is still some connection.”

Luo Yang spoke truthfully: "Back home, the construction company my father left behind has been integrated, and we plan to enter the real estate development market in the next few years. In addition, there is a cultural tourism company involved in tourism real estate projects. The professional knowledge I learned is still useful."

“My soul was struck”

Chang Sheng, who was blushing just now, immediately moved to Luo Yang's side after hearing this. "Mr. Luo, only a design contract can make up for the damage I have suffered."

This guy is just short of acting like a spoiled brat.

Eh~~~
Luo Yang felt a chill and quickly moved away from Chang Sheng.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be disgusting!"

"Luo Yang, you don't know how pitiful I am now!"

Chang Sheng began to complain: "She used my old man's authorization as a token of authority, and Shi Huining has begun to limit my monthly pocket money."

"hehe."

Lu Hao's venomous tongue was as sharp as ever: "I see that you are happy with it. If it were me, I would have resisted long ago!"

“That’s easy to say.”

Chang Sheng said with a bitter face: "The old man at home can cut off my current source of living expenses in a minute."

"Can't you learn from me and Xufeng?"

Lu Hao curled his lips and said, "It's even simpler now. Luo Yang is going to develop real estate himself. Why don't you just go work for his company? With the support of your brothers, you will definitely become a middle-level manager in three to five years. By then, you will be financially independent. How can your old man control you?"

"I can't stand any hardship."

Chang Sheng's cheeks flushed, and after hesitating for a moment, he responded, "If I go to Mr. Luo's company, I'm afraid that the brotherhood will be ruined in the end!"

"Mr. Chang, you are very frank!"

Luo Yang almost laughed at his remarks.

However, Changshengjia’s design company is still relatively professional. Whether it was the business of Jincheng Real Estate or the project business of Guotai Real Estate in Yang City, they all performed well.

"If there is business in the future, you can come and discuss it yourself!"

I will do the business for anyone, and since we are good friends in both lives, I will help him as much as I can. Chang Sheng's face changed in an instant, and he looked grateful. It was probably not popular to call him godfather at that time, otherwise, with this guy's temper, he would definitely shout a few times.

The time of reminiscing and reminiscing about the past is always so short.

Chen Xufeng and Lu Hao were going back to Yang City, and Luo Yang was also going to entertain his father-in-law's family in the evening. The four people in dormitory 306 did not feel sad about parting, and everyone went their separate ways with hugs and blessings.

Luo Yang returned to the dormitory building to pick someone up.

Luo Jianguo and Gu Honglan packed his clothes and bedding, stuffed them into the trunk of the car, and took them back to their residence in Songjiang.

Later, the two families met in a private restaurant in Songjiang.

After the greetings, everyone sat down. Jiang Yuanshan, Luo Jianguo and Luo Yang sat next to each other, while Xiao Yujun, Gu Honglan and Jiang Fan sat together.

"Yangyang and Fanfan both graduate today. Let's toast to them to wish them a happy life and a successful career in the future."

Among the six people present, Jiang Yuanshan was the oldest, and he received the first glass of wine.

The next thing was to exchange views on the graduation ceremonies of both sides and share photos. For a while, the banquet was filled with laughter and was very lively.

"Mother-in-law and Xiaofan are going to travel to Europe soon. Let's drink our second cup to wish them a happy trip."

Luo Jianguo received the second glass of wine.

The topic at the table then shifted to travel.

"I have arranged a total of four bodyguards for this trip to Europe, two men and two women."

When Jiang Yuanshan mentioned the need to be careful, Luo Yang explained the arrangements for bodyguards in due time: "You have seen the two female bodyguards, they are the ones who accompanied me to HK last time. They will provide close protection. The two male bodyguards will be in the outer circle to prevent stalking and sudden attacks."

"Yangyang, there's no need to be so troublesome, right?"

Xiao Yujun looked at her son-in-law and said, "I think two female bodyguards will be enough."

"Mom, we have to admit that, from an individual perspective, whether in height or strength, Western men are generally taller than Eastern men. Female bodyguards are at a disadvantage in certain situations, so we must have trained male bodyguards to deal with them."

Luo Yang responded to Xiao Yujun and then looked at Jiang Yuanshan: "Dad, don't you think so?"

"Luo Yang is right."

Jiang Yuanshan looked at his wife and said, "Yujun, listen to your son-in-law's arrangements."

Luo Jianguo and Gu Honglan also expressed their agreement.

"In order for Fanfan and I to travel abroad, Yangyang even bought a security company."

Xiao Yujun was satisfied but also expressed her feelings: "It's a bit of a waste."

"How can it be considered a waste of money?"

Luo Yang explained with a smile: "With the further development of the domestic economy, there will be more and more wealthy people. Whether they are going abroad or for business reasons, the demand for private security will only increase. I acquired the security company because I thought there would be a market in the future and it could also serve my own company."

At this point, he talked about the example of providing security services for Kunpeng Technology.

"In the future, both my side and my father's side will have high-tech industry layouts, involving more than one or two R&D departments. These core technologies need to be secure. I am worried about outsourcing them to other companies."

"You are ahead of the times in this regard."

After listening to Luo Yang's explanation, Jiang Yuanshan nodded in agreement and said, "Before, I was living in a small county town, and my thinking was still limited. What Luo Yang said just now is right. If a professional commercial spy came to Yuanfan Group now, the battery technology could be easily stolen."

Even if you own a patent, the harm can still be great if your design and R&D ideas are stolen.

"Luo Yang, please help Yuanfan Group allocate some manpower, especially the R&D department."

After Jiang Yuanshan finished sighing, he immediately instructed Luo Yang to deliver the business.

The first half of the conversation revolved around Luo Yang and Jiang Fan, but in the second half, the conversation split into two groups, men and men, and women and women.

"We just started a conversation in my office last week. Why are you suddenly exploring new business?"

When Luo Yang returned to Yang City last week, he went to Jiang Yuanshan's office for tea. They happened to be talking about e-commerce. Just when they had just started, an important guest unexpectedly came and the conversation between the father-in-law and son-in-law had to be interrupted.

Today, they were sitting together drinking in Shanghai, and Jiang Yuanshan, who was curious, naturally wouldn't let it go.

In his opinion, at this stage Luo Yang should consolidate and expand existing businesses rather than blindly invest in new industries.

Especially in three years, we will have to gather funds to enter the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry, so we have to be conservative in both capital and energy.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about the funding issue. I already have a solution for this."

Luo Yang knew what Jiang Yuanshan was worried about.

I didn't have time to explain it clearly last time in his office, so now that I'm asked, it's a good time to explain it clearly.

Today is mid-June, and the price of U.S. crude oil futures has fallen to around 95 million yuan per barrel. At the end of April, Luo Yang bought 4 lots at the price of 121.78 for short selling. This operation alone has already made a floating profit of more than 3000 million yuan.

On the second day, Luo Yang transferred another 1000 million yuan. With double capital, he added 119.81 short positions at the price of 3000. This part of the floating profit also reached more than 24 million yuan.

Both operations involved 3000 lots, with a total floating profit of 50 million yuan. Every 1 dollar in floating profit means a profit of 300 million yuan.

If the transaction is completed now, at least 1.5 million euros will be earned.

In the future, the price of US crude oil futures will fall further. According to Luo Yang's memory, by mid-July, the price will fall below 7 million yuan per barrel.

what does this mean?
In the following month, Luo Yang made at least 3000 million yuan in floating profit from his two purchases of 30 lots, or 9000 million yuan.

After mid-July, he will concentrate funds to carry out a reverse operation.

With the funds he has at that time, he can take away at least 9 billion yuan when he leaves the market in early September.

However, Luo Yang did not talk about this with Jiang Yuanshan. He just vaguely explained that his funds were guaranteed.

He wants to use the content of the e-commerce model to weaken the source of funds.

"Dad, last time I told you that the e-commerce platform we acquired was on the verge of bankruptcy. But now, after integration and re-establishing its development direction, this e-commerce platform has shifted its main business to group buying."

I had a brief chat about B2B and C2C models in Jiang Yuanshan’s office before.

Now let’s skip this and talk directly about the group buying model.

"The general environment for the rise of the group buying model is the global overcapacity caused by the subprime mortgage financial crisis. This model originated in the United States. A man named Andre Mason founded Groupon, which is the world's earliest group buying platform. It can be said that domestic group buying platforms are all imitating this company."

Luo Yang first briefly introduced the origin and causes of the group buying model.

"Before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, the domestic production side was booming, and our country's domestic consumption capacity was limited, so the backlog of production capacity of domestic enterprises was also very considerable. The policy of sending home appliances to the countryside launched in the past two years was to help domestic enterprises digest the backlog of inventory."

“Is this how the subsidy policy for home appliances going to the countryside came about?”

Halfway through the conversation, Jiang Yuanshan couldn't help but interrupt: "According to what you said, can the group purchase model solve this problem?"

"Dad, you probably don't know much about the Internet industry."

Luo Yang explained with a smile: "Last year, this industry became popular, and domestic and foreign capital poured in crazily. At its peak, there were more than 5000 group-buying e-commerce platforms on the market, burning tens of billions of funds in a year. There was even talk of a war between thousands of groups on the Internet."

“More than 5000?”

Even Jiang Yuanshan was shocked: "Burning billions of funds in one year?"

“Maybe more!”

Luo Yang nodded and said, "Although a large number of companies died after the beginning of this year, the market has been opened up and user habits have been cultivated. It is precisely because of this that I decided to enter this industry. It doesn't cost much money anyway, so I might as well give it a try."

"Oh, please tell me more about it."

Jiang Yuanshan has built such a big business, and he is no ordinary man. He has a strong ability to accept new things.

His core industry is manufacturing, but he is very interested in the Internet.
