I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 311, 310 "My God, I never expected Fang Qingye to have such a powerful backer!"
Fang Qingye and Shi Guangrong escorted him to the entrance of the nursery. After watching the Mercedes disappear, they turned around and went back to the nursery.

"Qingye, it seems that Qiao Yongfeng is here specifically to deliver messages to you," Shi Guangrong suddenly said.

Fang Qingye naturally knew that Qiao Yongfeng had mentioned their company importing cotton.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know why he did that. Besides, if he wanted to tell me, he could have just said it over the phone. There was no need for him to come all the way here in person."

"Is it just a joke that a billionaire with a net worth of over a billion is working as a gardener in a small county town?" Shi Guangrong joked.

"Go away, you're not one either?" Fang Qingye said, "You're doing just fine in Shanghai, why are you coming here to cause trouble for me instead of having a wife?!"

"Let's go fishing tomorrow."

That evening, Fang Qingye and Xia He chatted on QQ about Qiao Yongfeng's sudden visit to Nanxin during the day.

After listening for a moment, Xia He replied, "From what I know, Qiao Yongfeng is a very shrewd person. He would never do anything meaningless. The fact that he suddenly came to see you today and brought you valuable information makes me think that he wants to get to know you better and become friends with you."

"Then why does he want to get to know me better? Honestly, with his family background and abilities, he has no need to curry favor with me, right?" Fang Qingye retorted.

"That's not necessarily true. You're a big boss with a net worth of over a billion now," Xia He said with a charming smile.

"Go away, you're teasing me too? In this world, once a person reaches a certain position, it's not measured by how much money they have," Fang Qingye said.

"Then I'll find an opportunity to ask Tian Qian. Maybe Qiao Yongfeng can reveal something to her?" Xia He thought of a plan.

Fang Qingye considered for a moment, then shook her head: "Don't ask. If Tian Qian brings it up herself, then so be it. Just don't ask. Pretend you don't know anything about it."

"Okay then, it's up to you."

While Fang Qingye and Xia He were chatting on QQ, in a villa in the Huijing Yiyun Valley villa area, Qiao Yongfeng, wearing pajamas, was half-lying on the bed. He put down the book in his hand and said to his wife, who was playing a match-3 game on her phone, "..."
"Tian Qian, I finished my business in Jinghai today and went to Nanxin."

Tian Qian was surprised: "Nanxin? What are you doing in Nanxin?"

"I chatted with Fang Qingye for a while."

"Huh? You went to the South New District to find him? What did you talk about?" Tian Qian asked.

"We didn't talk about anything major. I just mentioned that our company recently made a deal to import 100,000 tons of cotton from Brazil," Qiao Yongfeng said.

"Huh? Didn't you say this deal was relatively confidential? How did you tell Fang Qingye?" Tian Qian was even more confused, then suddenly remembered something: "I heard Xia He say that Fang Qingye has been speculating on cotton futures!"
"Yes, he's speculating on cotton futures. The price of cotton futures has been extremely hot recently, and he's probably made a lot of money," Qiao Yongfeng said with a smile.

"Huh? Then tell him that you're tipping him off so he can get out of there quickly." Tian Qian immediately understood.

"That's one way to put it."

"Honey, why did you do this? I think you're putting too much importance on Fang Qingye. He's rich and kind of handsome, but you men don't really care about that, do you?"

Qiao Yongfeng said calmly, "You don't understand him, and neither does Xia He. I learned something when I went to Yanjing a while ago: Fang Qingye actually knows Huang Tao! And they're quite close."

"Who is Huang Tao?" Tian Qian was confused.

“I told you, how many people have the surname Huang?!” Qiao Yongfeng said, glancing at his wife.

"What?!" Tian Qian's mouth dropped open in surprise as she stared blankly at her husband. After a moment, she came to her senses and asked, "How does Fang Qingye know that girl?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that the two met by chance on QQ," Qiao Yongfeng said.

"My God, I never expected Fang Qingye to have such a powerful backer!" Tian Qian exclaimed. "No wonder he made a fortune in the futures market; he even knew in advance that the RMB exchange rate would be reformed!" "You're wrong again," Qiao Yongfeng added. "Fang Qingye seems to have no idea about Huang Tao's background or identity. The two were just chatting, and it seems they only like to discuss mathematical modeling."

"Oh, so you're planning ahead and getting closer to Fang Qingye now." Tian Qian understood.

"Yes, actually Fang Qingye doesn't recognize Huang Tao. I think he's a pretty good person and worth befriending."

"Should I tell Xia He what you said to me today?" Tian Qian asked another question.

"You can talk about what happened before, but don't tell Xia He about the yellow peaches."

"Oh, I understand. Honey, do you think Fang Qingye and that girl named Huang Tao are having an online romance? Will it turn into a real-life relationship? Sigh... Xia He has no chance at all." Tian Qian sighed deeply at the end.

Qiao Yongfeng glanced at his wife after hearing this: "Tian Qian, you graduated from a 985 university, how come you've become a love-obsessed person? Do you think men only think about love and romance all day long?!"

Tian Qian chuckled and said, "You're a grown man, and I'm a young woman. I don't have that many national affairs to think about. I just watch Korean dramas and maybe shed a few tears."

Qiao Yongfeng shook his head helplessly after hearing this.

When I was pursuing her, I was attracted by her innocence and cuteness. I never expected that after more than ten years, she would still be like that little girl, not mature at all.

But that's good too; with less scheming, family life becomes much simpler.

On Fang Qingye's side, Shi Guangrong stayed in Nanxin County for a week before leaving. He spent his days either fishing and drinking tea with Fang Qingye or exchanging ideas about flower cultivation and seedling raising with Fang Guisheng. He seemed to have forgotten all about returning home.

Just as the two were enjoying a leisurely life in Nanxin, a violent upheaval occurred in the futures market.

First, the stock exchange announced the penalties imposed on Lin Guangmao and two others. Then, five departments, including the National Development and Reform Commission, jointly issued an emergency notice requiring cotton trading companies to accelerate cotton sales and prohibiting the hoarding of cotton and speculation in cotton prices. The notice also required all commercial banks to strictly control loans to cotton trading companies.

Meanwhile, the China National Textile and Apparel Council proposed to relevant national departments that the cotton import quota for this year be temporarily increased, and suggested that the cotton import quota for 2011 be increased to 600 million tons.

The relevant national departments agreed to the suggestion and announced that they would release 30 tons of cotton that had already been urgently imported into the market, causing cotton prices in the domestic spot market to drop immediately.

Cotton futures prices, which had already turned downwards, plummeted even further, hitting four consecutive limit-down days. The main contract CF201101 dropped from a high of 32500 yuan to 23000 yuan, and the downward trend still did not stop.

The bulls were routed in the market, and retail investors who followed the trend couldn't even get out. The market was shrouded in gloom.

Three men sat in the living room of a villa in Sheshan, Shanghai. In contrast to the villa's opulent decor, the men all had gloomy expressions.

This is Lin Guangmao's new home. He just moved in not long ago. Apart from Ye Qingjun, the other three kings of the futures industry have gathered here.

Today is certainly not for celebration.

The futures market is volatile. During this period, both the futures and spot prices of Zhengzhou cotton have fallen sharply, which has not only wiped out most of the three people's previous profits, but also threatened to damage their principal, leaving them in despair.

"Damn it! It was all Fang Qingye and Shi Guangrong's doing. I'm going to get some men to teach them a lesson this time!"

The person speaking is the owner of the villa, Rin Mitsushige.

"How do you plan to clean it up?" asked a thin man sitting next to him, smoking a cigarette. He was Fu Haitang.

"Find someone and make them lie in the hospital for months to appease my anger." A ruthless glint appeared on Lin Guangmao's fair face.

Fu Haitang looked at him like he was an idiot: "Do you think this is the 1990s? Do you want to be a Hong Kong gangster, or do you want to be like Yuan Baojing?!"
