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

Chapter 495 Abenomics
Fang Qingye smiled and said, "Mr. Ouyang, your analysis makes a lot of sense, but I don't want to invest."

Ouyang Shaoqiang was immediately disappointed and wanted to persuade her further, but Fang Qingye stopped him: "I am not interested in investing in Bitcoin, but I greatly admire your professional skills and level. I hope you can find good investment projects in traditional investment areas such as stocks, futures, gold, and foreign exchange."

Ouyang Shaoqiang understood. It turned out that Fang Qingye disliked those emerging financial investment projects and preferred traditional ones.

Little did he know that a staggering 92 bitcoins were quietly lying in Fang Qingye's account; why would he need to invest any more?!

This thing may seem like a gold mine to others, but it is a double-edged sword for Fang Qingye. Just imagine how big a storm it would cause if these 90 Bitcoins were put into the market.

Right now, some people are searching the whole world for that DHDK person.

Absolutely no involvement.

Besides, Bitcoin is only $30 a coin now, far from the $10 it will be in the future.

However, Ouyang Shaoqiang's vision is indeed excellent. This year, 2013, is also a year of great increase for Bitcoin, which will rise from $10 at the beginning of the year to $1000 in one go!

If an ordinary person invests in this, they will definitely make a fortune!

More importantly, the country has not explicitly prohibited it, which means that restricting the transaction is legal!
Ouyang Shaoqiang chatted with Fang Qingye about the news in the US and Japanese securities and foreign exchange markets this year. Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Ouyang Shaoqiang was about to leave when Fang Qingye called him back.

"Don't rush, let's have dinner together. I've heard that the French restaurant Caprice at this hotel is pretty good. Shall we try it together?"

"Okay, Mr. Fang."

Ouyang Haoqiang felt flattered.

Caprice is one of Hong Kong's top French restaurants, having earned three Michelin stars and been named one of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants. Dining here is not only about enjoying authentic French cuisine, but also a status symbol.

Of course, the price is also very expensive, and Ouyang Shaoqiang himself has never eaten there.

After Fang Qingye finished speaking, she picked up the room's landline and called the restaurant to reserve a table for two.

As for Yue Kai and Mu Lan, let them take care of their own lunch.

Fang Qingye still had some things to say to Ouyang Shaoqiang. Yue Kai didn't care, but Mu Lan was a new employee, and it wasn't good for her to know too much.

The two took the elevator to the restaurant, where waitresses dressed as maids greeted them. After Fang Qingye introduced herself, the waitress led them to a table for two.

Australian Wagyu beef tartare, French green asparagus with morel mushrooms, foie gras tartare, lime cream with mousse and Japanese yuzu sorbet
They each ordered a dish and slowly began to eat with their knives and forks.

“Mr. Ouyang,” Fang Qingye said while eating, “I suggest you pay more attention to the Japanese stock market and see if there are any investment opportunities.”

"Abenomics?" Ouyang Shaoqiang immediately recognized it as a recent hot topic.

"Yes, don't think that Abenomics is just a gimmick hyped up by some people. Its core idea is loose monetary policy, and the yen exchange rate has begun to depreciate rapidly. What Abe wants is to create inflation expectations. When consumers expect Japanese prices to rise, they will buy some goods that they already need to buy as soon as possible, thereby stimulating consumption and investment, and thus reversing the long-term situation of extremely sluggish consumption and investment in Japan. Regardless of its actual effect on the real economy, it can definitely boost the stock market, so it is worth our attention."

Ouyang Shaoqiang listened attentively.

After Fang Qingye finished speaking, he couldn't help but say, "But some European and American countries don't understand Abe's approach. They criticize Japan's policy of devaluing the yen, saying it's very disadvantageous for countries that compete on cheap labor. Even though Japan is touting its domestic deflation problem, from the perspective of Europe and America, it's just that the fluctuations are not obvious, and from the perspective of economic development, it's just extremely slow deflation. Therefore, Japan should not implement a gambling-like monetary easing policy, as this will leave a terrible consequence—huge debt."

Fang Qingye laughed and wiped her mouth with a snow-white napkin, saying, "There are always gains and losses. It depends on which aspect you value. But no matter what, with Abe in power, his approach will continue. We just need to look for investment opportunities in this environment. As for the consequences of this economic system on Japan, that's none of our business."

Ouyang Shaoqiang knew that Fang Qingye was reminding him.

You just focus on fleecing and exploiting others; don't worry about anything else.

So he quickly replied, "Okay, Mr. Fang, I will collect relevant information and study it carefully when I get back."

"Including stock index futures!"

"Ok."

After finishing his meal, Ouyang Shaoqiang said goodbye and left.

Fang Qingye quite admired this young man; he was sharp-minded and not stubborn. If needed in the future, she would simply hire him as her assistant, but of course, she would think about it later.

Fang Qingye and his group took an evening flight, a South African Airways flight, from Hong Kong to São Paulo, Brazil. Instead of crossing the Pacific Ocean, they flew southwest, crossing the Indian Ocean, transiting through Johannesburg, South Africa, and continuing their flight after a layover of several hours. After a total of more than 30 hours of long-haul flight, they finally arrived in São Paulo, an important city in southeastern Brazil.

Fortunately, Fang Qingye was willing to spend money, and all three of them bought business class seats; otherwise, the day-long flight would have been exhausting.

Upon arriving at Guarulhos International Airport, after completing immigration procedures, the three of them went to the waiting hall and saw a young man with black hair and yellow skin wearing a floral shirt holding a sign that read "Welcome Mr. Fang Qingye." In a world full of Portuguese and English speakers, he stood out.

The person sent by Qiao Yongfeng to pick them up at the airport.

Fang Qingye and her two companions dragged their suitcases toward the young man. The young man took out a photo, looked at it carefully, and then smiled as he walked toward Fang Qingye.

"Welcome, Mr. Fang. I am He Qingfeng, the deputy director of Bangcheng International's New York office. I was sent by Mr. Qiao to pick you up."

"Hello, Mr. He, has President Qiao arrived in Londrina?" Fang Qingye asked after shaking hands with the other party.

"It arrived the day before yesterday."

"That's good."

"Mr. Fang, my suggestion is that we take the train to Londrina now. We can reach the city by dark in the afternoon and meet up with Mr. Qiao. However, Mr. Fang, you have already traveled for more than 30 hours by plane and then have to take a train for another six or seven hours. It must be quite tiring."

Six or seven hours.
My butt is completely numb from sitting so long.

Fine, I'll just have to persevere.

After leaving the station, the group first ate some Brazilian barbecue at a restaurant, and then took a taxi to the Luz station in São Paulo. With He Qingfeng and the translator Mu Lan, Fang Qingye naturally didn't need to think much and just followed along. When they entered the station and saw the train stopped on the tracks, they were immediately surprised.

What the hell!

Did they bring out some old antiques?
It's a steam locomotive!
Fang Qingye remembered seeing this thing twice when she was very young, but she had never seen it again since.
