Chapter 155: Awakening Age Hong Kong Promotion

Not only Zeng Ali was curious, Zhao Yuanyuan was also listening attentively. They couldn't understand Chen Fan's operations, and that was why they were curious.

Chen Fan's previous investment in futures should be counted as two transactions. The first transaction was an investment of 290 million Hong Kong dollars, or 58 US dollars, on the day before New Year's Day, purchased at a price of 600 US dollars per ounce.

So far, the price of gold has fallen to US$425 per ounce, with a net profit of US$175 per ounce, and a profit of up to US$16.9.

After using 10 leverage, the profit was magnified to 169 million US dollars, totaling 845 million Hong Kong dollars.

Another transaction was when Li Hongying came to Hong Kong during the winter vacation and paid 20 Hong Kong dollars for the script, equivalent to 4 US dollars, and purchased it at a price of 578 US dollars per ounce.

This investment made a net profit of US$153 per ounce, with a profit of US$2.9. The ten-fold leverage magnified the profit to US$29, equivalent to HK$145 million.

The two profits totaled 990 million, plus the principal of 310 million, the total amount of funds reached 1300 million.

"..."

Zeng Ali blinked her eyes, a little slow to react. It was the first time she met Li Hongying in Beijing that she learned about such a thing as futures.

How much money did Chen Fan invest at that time?

100 million Hong Kong dollars!
How long has it been since then, and it has become 1300 million?
Robbing a bank can't be that fast, right?
But huge profits often mean high risks. Chen Fan did a lot of research in his previous life and remembered the trend of gold futures clearly. If it were someone else using 10x leverage, they would have probably been liquidated long ago.

Chen Fan is no longer a small player. He has HK$1300 million in Bank of East Asia and HK$1100 million in HSBC, a total investment of HK$2400 million, with a tenfold leverage, which can leverage HK$2.4 million.

This is the charm of futures. It is a thrilling game. If you are lucky, you can become rich overnight. If you are unlucky, you can lose everything and become poor overnight!
"Qiu'er, rich lady, you keep me as your mistress."

Zhao Yuanyuan hugged Xu Jinqiu and nudged her head against her chest. Xu Jinqiu pushed her away angrily: "Go find your brother and ask him to support you."

Zhao Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and spat at Xu Jinqiu.

What are you thinking? I treat you as a sister, but you treat me as a dowry maid?

This is a black-bellied person!
When my sister returned to the mainland, she became a wealthy woman, with an annual income of over a thousand yuan. She also had several paintings by Qi Baishi and calligraphy and paintings by other famous artists. Did she still need someone to support her?

This time when they came to Hong Kong, Chen Fan had already said that they were here to work and would get paid according to their positions. The two of them were assistants to the chairman, and their salaries were not low.

If I go back two months later, I can earn enough money to buy a small courtyard house.

Zhao Yuanyuan has already made up her mind. After returning home, she will ask people and buy a small courtyard if there is a suitable opportunity. Then, when she gets married in the future, she will not have to worry about having no place to live.

Well...it's best to buy it in Nanluoguxiang, and go to my godmother's house every now and then to eat and drink for free.

With beautiful thoughts in mind, Zhao Yuanyuan went to bed early after dinner as she had to go to work the next day.

After a while, the door was pushed open.

The eldest sister came over with a blanket. Zhao Yuanyuan was stunned: "You really came?"

Zeng Ali curled her lips: "That couple, tsk tsk tsk ..."

Zhao Yuanyuan blushed and rolled inside to make room for Zeng Ali: "I bet Qiu'er still won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning. She's even lazier than me now."

"..."

Zeng Ali looked at Zhao Yuanyuan strangely and said, "Sister, how can you have the nerve to say that?"
Qiu'er is the one being tormented, you are just plain lazy!

However, Zhao Yuanyuan's guess was correct. When she woke up in the morning, Chen Fan had already come back from exercising downstairs and bought breakfast, while Xu Jinqiu was still sleeping soundly in the room.

The next few days were like this!
Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan had no time to pay attention to these things. The research team got to know the publishing house's background and began to implement the rotating president system, and the two of them also became busy.

Both of them have experience in this, having done it once in a school club, but there is still a big difference when the same system is implemented in a company.

There are more trivial matters and personnel adjustments are more troublesome.

For several days in a row, both of them were very busy. They had to work overtime at night and had three meals a day at the company. When they got home, they took a shower, lay down on the bed and wanted to sleep.

Sure enough, money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat!

When the two girls saw Chen Fan leisurely, they wondered why he could earn so much money so leisurely?
Although they are both rich people, Li Hongying is not like this.

When it's time to be busy, there is no idle time. The Li family is not just Li Hongying, but a family. Li Hongying only takes care of her own side.

"Sister Ying, are you interested in Professor Cao?"

Zeng Ali was a little curious. Li Hongying had been spending a lot of time in the publishing house recently. Every time she came, she would chat with Cao Weidong for a while and her attitude was very good.

"Really?"

Xu Jinqiu came over immediately and was about to take out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket.

Chen Fan was speechless, and the melon-eating girl came online again: "Sister Ying is interested in the management model of the rotating president, and plans to replicate it in Yipin Fish Restaurant and ask Professor Cao for advice."

Zeng Ali shook her head: "It's not that simple. There's something wrong with the way Sister Ying looks at Professor Cao. There's a unique tenderness in her eyes, just like the way Qiu'er looks at you."

"Impossible?" Chen Fan was surprised.

"Trust a woman's intuition, it won't be wrong." Zeng Ali affirmed.

"If that's the case, it's quite appropriate."

Cao Weidong is a widower. His wife died a few years ago and he raised his children alone. He is a decent person and is very optimistic and humorous.

The key is that she is not very old, in her early forties, just a few years older than Li Hongying. Xu Jinqiu nodded: "Let's go and have a look tomorrow. If Sister Ying really wants to do this, we can also help push it forward."

"Then take a look!"

Chen Fan also became interested. He went to the company the next day and paid special attention. It was just as Zeng Ali said. There was something wrong with the way Li Hongying looked at Cao Weidong.

After they chatted for a while, Chen Fan came over with a cup of tea: "Sister Ying, how is our Yipin Fish Restaurant doing recently?"

Didn’t I introduce it earlier?

Li Hongying didn't understand, so she reintroduced the company: "Now all five stores have stabilized, and we are discussing financing. Do you want to increase your shareholding?"

Chen Fan holds 10% of the shares of the fish restaurant, which will definitely be diluted after the financing.

Chen Fan rejected Li Hongying's proposal directly: "Forget it. By comparison, I prefer to invest my money in the financial market."

Li Hongying remained speechless and made no comment.

Chen Fan is too much of a gambler, especially in the futures market. Every time he invests, he takes it as a risk of his life, which makes people worry.

A few days ago, I told her that I had already settled the previous futures and increased my funds to continue shorting gold, and asked her if she wanted to follow suit.

Li Hongying doesn't dare to play like this. She has previously invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars and used a 5x leverage. The returns are already amazing, higher than any of her previous investments.

Li Hongying is very satisfied with this!
Li Hongying believes in being content with what she has. She wants to play the same way as Chen Fan. She is worried that one day she will not be able to control her gambling nature and will bet her entire fortune, so bankruptcy is inevitable.

After chatting about the fish farm for a while, Chen Fan got down to business: "The fish farm also needs to implement a rotating president system. Why not let Professor Cao bring the research team over to help?"

Li Hongying was stunned for a moment, then her face turned slightly red. What did Chen Fan see?
However, Chen Fan's proposal was exactly what she wanted: "Professor Cao, what do you think? The salary is the same as at the publishing house, and the time will not be too long."

Cao Weidong frowned slightly: "I'm afraid it's too late. By the time the publishing house is done, it should be mid-August, and Beijing University will be about to start school."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Professor Cao, why don't we just ask the department to make some adjustments? Now the research team has another industry case, which is a good opportunity to collect information and further improve the research topic."

Cao Weidong thought about it and agreed.

"It's settled, Sister Ying. Send the fish restaurant's information over when you have time and communicate more with Professor Cao so that he can implement the plan."

Chen Fan smiled and stepped out at the right time.

Back in his office, Xu Jinqiu came over immediately and asked, "What's going on?"

"Sister Ying should have this thought, but Professor Cao should not have this idea. After all, he is only on a business trip and will be back in more than a month."

"You didn't push?"

"Push it!"

Chen Fan explained the situation again: "This kind of thing still depends on fate. If two people are attracted to each other, sparks will fly sooner or later."

Xu Jinqiu hummed: "Sister Ying is such a nice person, Professor Cao will definitely be tempted."

"There's a child standing between the two of them."

Chen Fan was also very familiar with Li Hongying's daughter, Gu Xiaoxiao. She was a very sensible girl, but being sensible did not mean that she would definitely be willing to have a stepfather.

Cao Weidong also has a child.

"It depends on fate!" Xu Jinqiu sighed.

From the first time they met, Li Hongying treated her very well. She naturally hoped that Li Hongying would have a good home, but who can say for sure when it comes to love?

"Sister Ying and Professor Cao are both over 70 years old. It's not your turn to worry about them."

Chen Fan rubbed the girl's head, opened the office door, and called Zeng Ali in: "Has the publicity plan for "Awakening Age" come out?"

"We just finished the first version yesterday and arranged a meeting to discuss it in the afternoon."

"Remember to call me when you have a meeting."

"Okay, Mr. Chen!"

Zeng Ali turned around and went out. As an assistant in the company, she had to act like an assistant. Having worked as an assistant in Peking University for so long, she was already familiar with Chen Fan's working style.

Not long after the afternoon work started, Zeng Ali came in to announce that the meeting was chaired by Qiu Wenxin. After Chen Fan came in, he did not take the right to speak, but just listened.

Qiu Wenxin has been engaged in the publishing industry for many years and has been deeply involved in this industry. The solutions he has come up with are extremely mature and have many highlights.

The core of the entire publicity and promotion plan is still Chen Fan!
As a well-known commentator and best-selling author, Chen Fan boosted book sales by promoting him, which is a very normal and effective way of promotion in the publishing industry.

If it was any other type of novel, there would be no problem at all, but "Awakening Age" was released in Hong Kong, and according to this publicity and promotion plan, Chen Fan was really unsure.

The overall environment is different!
Chen Fan believes that publicity and promotion still need to take an unconventional approach!

It’s just like the promotion of “The Matrix”, but we certainly can’t copy the model of “The Matrix”. Viral marketing is not suitable for all types.
