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

Chapter 468 Happiness comes too suddenly

Li Li was soon called to the office again, and she was shocked when she heard Bai Ou say that she would be rewarded with an apartment.

"President Bai, I don't have a postgraduate degree, and my contributions to the company are not significant enough. I...I..." Li Li became somewhat incoherent at the end.

"Li Li, both President Fang and I acknowledge your contributions to the company," Bai Ou said softly.
“Strictly speaking, you are the first employee of Tuofang Technology. Our company has grown from one person to the present, holding and investing in several companies. You have made a contribution to this, so you are entitled to a house.”

"Li Li, if you don't want it, then take back what you said today," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Li Li said hurriedly.

How could you not?

With this house, I will have a real home in Shanghai and become a true Shanghainese!
"President Fang, President Bai, I will definitely work hard in the future and live up to your expectations!" Li Li's face was flushed, and she almost shouted out the words "I will dedicate myself to the cause until my dying breath".

Bai Ou nodded and continued, "I will announce this matter internally at both Tuofang Technology and Tomorrow Cube via email. As long as you can make a significant contribution to the company, even if your educational background is not high, we will still reward you!"

"President Bai, you are amazing!"

“Alright, your apartment is selected according to the standards for master’s degree graduates. Go pick one yourself, and then follow the company’s procedures,” Bai Ou said.

"Uh-huh."

At this moment, Li Li was overjoyed.

Actually, she had already found a house she liked—the same neighborhood near Dongming Road where Wang Chenyang and Xu Mei lived! It boasts top-notch educational resources.

At the time, she was dreaming of saving some money and buying a small second-hand apartment of 50 or 60 square meters a few years later, so that she would have her own home in Shanghai. She never expected that the company would reward her with an apartment!
Happiness comes too suddenly.

After Li Li left happily, Bai Ou thought of another question: "What about Zhiyun Technology? I looked at their personnel roster, and there are six graduate students on it? Should they follow the example of Tomorrow Cube?"

“Sure, but we’ll have to wait a while and see how they perform before you can spread the word,” Fang Qingye said.

"At this rate, Yezi, you wouldn't have been able to afford 100 houses back then," Bai Ou laughed.

"It's okay, I can keep buying! I'll buy another 100 sets!" Fang Qingye said generously, "As long as you can create enough value for the company, I'll reward you!"

"Okay, I'll also send this message to all three companies via email!"

Topway is buying houses to reward its employees again!

Furthermore, the scope has been expanded to include three companies: Tuofang, Mingri, and Zhiyun!
The news spread quickly throughout the company. The employees of Tuofang and Mingri were not too bothered, but the graduate students at Zhiyun Technology were extremely excited.

When I was at Zhiyun Technology, I thought the benefits were good, but after moving to the Financial International Building, I felt like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden.

Later, I found out that a graduate student from Tomorrow Cube had been hired and was allocated an apartment, and I was incredibly envious.

The treatment of biological children and adopted children is just so different!

But when the newly appointed CEO Bai announced this news, the graduate students at Zhiyun Technology were really excited.

I almost shouted "Long live President Bai!"

Undergraduates also see hope; Li Li is a prime example!
That evening, Fang Qingye and Bai Ou returned to the villa and took a walk hand in hand in the neighborhood.

"Yezi, I've been very busy these past few days, my schedule is completely packed," the girl said as she walked.

"What are you busy with?"

"I made plans with Quan Shasha to meet up with some close classmates who work in Shanghai tomorrow night. The day after tomorrow, I'm going to my alma mater to visit Meiduo. Then it'll be Saturday. Xiaoli is coming to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics for her MBA program and asked me to chat with her."

Ah?
The schedule is indeed packed.

“Actually, you can visit Meiduo during the day as well,” Fang Qingye suggested.

"That won't do, I have to go to work on time during the day!"

"Okay, okay, you go to work, I'm going to get some rest." Fang Qingye laughed, "Let's go fishing with Guangrong!" "Go ahead, look how bored you are." Bai Ou chuckled.

"Of course I'm itching to sleep. How about we sleep together tonight?" Fang Qingye said with a grin, his arm around the girl's waist.

"Huh? What are you thinking? No way! I said I want to get married on that day!"

"It's been less than a month, so let's download it early."

"No, Yezi, you have to be good."

The next morning, Bai Ou drove her Mercedes-Benz C200 to the Financial Building on time after breakfast, while Fang Qingye took a car out of the city, this time heading to Dianshan Lake.

Yue Kai was driving the car.

Fang Qingye originally intended to drive herself so that Yue Kai could continue to rest or simply return to Nanxin, but Bai Ou disagreed, saying that your safety was more important.

Fang Qingye had no choice but to agree.

The weather is nice today, clear and crisp autumn air.

When Fang Qingye arrived at Dianshan Lake, at her usual fishing spot, she saw Shi Guangrong's Audi Q6 parked on the side of the road, with a man who looked like a driver standing next to him, smoking a cigarette. He looked very capable.

"Aoba!"

Shi Guangrong, who was already sitting by the lake fishing, waved to him.

Fang Qingye got out of the car, took out fishing gear from the trunk, and excitedly sat down not far from Shi Guangrong to start baiting the area.

"Is this your new driver? Part-time bodyguard?" Fang Qingye glanced at the man on the road.

"Yes, he also retired from the military and served as a special forces soldier."

"sure"

Shi Guangrong chuckled: "We're worth billions, so we still need to be careful about our safety."

Fang Qingye knew that the claim of a net worth of several billion was mainly due to the speculation in US soybeans. The main contract for US soybeans had now reached 1680 cents per bushel, and the two of them had a floating profit of up to 2.38 million US dollars!
That's equivalent to 15 billion RMB!

They're making a killing.

"Qingye, should we sell? I've been studying the market these past few days and I've noticed signs that the major bulls in US soybeans are exiting."

"Of course we have to run." Fang Qingye sneered.
"Those bigwigs on Wall Street are cunning. Now that it's September, and American soybeans are gradually ripening and entering the harvest season, the lies of the U.S. Department of Agriculture are about to be exposed!"

After hearing this, Shi Guangrong couldn't help but sigh, "Heh, there's collusion between officials and businessmen everywhere."

"Okay, enough of this talk. We can't change the world, but we just won't do it this way. We'll go back and dump, simple and brutal, just put the order at the daily limit down! Then we'll short it!"

US futures also have daily price limits! However, unlike in China, they use absolute values ​​instead of percentages.

According to the rules published by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the upper and lower limits for corn, soybeans, soybean oil, etc., traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) are as follows:

Corn 20 cents, soybeans 50 cents, soybean oil 2 cents.

Shi Guangrong naturally had no objections.

That evening, upon returning to the villa, Fang Qingye immediately placed his 1 soybean contracts at the current limit down price of 1635 cents per bushel.

The futures price curve, which had been slowly rising, suddenly seemed to be pressed down and drooped. However, a large number of buy orders quickly absorbed the 1 contracts, and the price continued to rise slowly.

This phenomenon was noticed by a senior futures trader at a large American company thousands of miles away.

ADM Investor Services (ADMIS), Chicago, USA.
