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

Chapter 516 This is not just my judgment, but the consensus of many investment elites!
"Xiao Rui, take Mr. Ouyang to my office. I'll change my clothes and come over."

As Fang Qingye spoke, she picked up the shovel and walked towards the two-story building.

Ouyang Shaoqiang did not rush to the office building, but looked around and admired the scenery. He had been so focused on Fang Qingye, who was dressed as a gardener, that he had not noticed the scenery in the nursery.

Only now, upon closer inspection, do I realize that the scenery here is indeed quite beautiful.

The seedbeds are neatly arranged, each filled with saplings whose names I don't know, and there are also several flower beds where roses are about to bloom.

The air was filled with the mixed scents of earth and plants, and a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

Zhang Xiaorui didn't urge him; she just followed behind him.

“Ms. Zhang, I understand now why Mr. Fang prefers this place to the bank manager’s office,” Ouyang Shaoqiang remarked.

“Of course, the potted plants and flowers in the bank are all rented from our nursery. You can’t look at the flowers here as much as those,” Zhang Xiaorui said.

what?
That's not what I meant.
Hearing the girl's somewhat naive words, Ouyang Shaoqiang didn't explain, but smiled and walked towards the office building.

He had already seen Fang Qingye change her clothes and walk over; he couldn't keep his client waiting.

The three went up to the office on the second floor, where Zhang Xiaorui made tea for Ouyang Shaoqiang before leaving.

"Try our local tea—Junshan tea," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

He used to like Da Hong Pao tea, but gradually he also came to like the tea from his hometown. Although it was cheaper, the taste was in no way inferior to Da Hong Pao or Longjing tea.

Ouyang Shaoqiang didn't know much about tea; he preferred coffee. But he still picked it up and took a sip. It was indeed rich, smooth, and refreshing. He couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Fang, this tea is somewhat similar to the Longjing tea I drank in Shanghai, but it's even better."

ha?
Actually, Junshan tea originated from Biluochun. The existing tea trees on Junshan were introduced from Dongshan, Suzhou in 1972. The taste is more like Biluochun than Longjing.

However, Fang Qingye did not intend to correct him—it seemed that the other party did not know much about tea, so there was no need to show off.

The two chatted for a while before getting to the point.

"Mr. Fang, I'm here to visit you today to discuss investment matters in person. My investment advice is in the email I sent you. I wonder what you think of it?"

“Your judgment on the direction of international capital shifts is very accurate, and I completely agree with that. This year’s investment opportunities are not in emerging economies but in established developed countries, such as Japan,” Fang Qingye said.

Hearing Fang Qingye's words, Ouyang Shaoqiang was somewhat excited: "Are you satisfied with the stocks and futures products I recommended to you?"

"Yes, but it's not the best option," Fang Qingye replied decisively.

"Oh?" Ouyang Shaoqiang was slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected such a clean and decisive rejection, and he immediately felt deflated.

That's a combination I carefully selected after two months of dedicated research!
Of course, they are his customers, and in a sense, they are his bread and butter. If they were colleagues, he would have gone up and argued with them long ago!
"Mr. Fang, which combination do you think is more suitable?" Ouyang Shaoqiang asked again.

"It's not that complicated, just buy one kind," Fang Qingye said slowly after taking a sip of tea. "Which kind?" Ouyang Shaoqiang asked quickly.

"TOPIX futures".

"What?!" Ouyang Shaoqiang was taken aback.

He certainly knew TOPIX, short for Tokyo Stock Price Index. It's a market capitalization-based stock price index that tracks all Japanese companies (all domestic common stocks) listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's First Section.

TOPIX comprises approximately 1700 stocks, covering about 97% of the total market capitalization in Japan, thus accurately reflecting the trends of the Japanese stock market.

The TOPIX index futures are based on the TOPIX index. It, along with another index futures contract, the Nikkei 225 index futures, are considered the two major stock index futures in Japan.

Speculating on the futures contracts of Japan's two major indices is a common strategy used by various investors and speculators, but the question is, why is OPIX being speculated on now?
After calming down, Ouyang Shaoqiang said, "Mr. Fang, I know you are an investment expert, and your reputation in the mainland futures industry surpasses that of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' of Shanghai. You are known as the new generation of futures industry kings. But as your exclusive account manager, I must remind you."

Seeing Ouyang Shaoqiang's expression turn serious, Fang Qingye remained calm: "Oh? You said?"

After speaking, he calmly refilled the other person's teacup with tea.

"If you had gone long on TOPIX index futures in the second half of last year or at the beginning of this year, there would have been no problem. But now it's May, and TOPIX index futures have reached an astonishing 1132 points! From 741 points in October last year to now, it has risen by 391 points, a gain of 52.7%. I think it has accumulated huge risks, and it is not advisable to chase the high and go long."

"I never said I was going to do more," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"You want to short sell? That's even more unreasonable!" Ouyang Shaoqiang's tone was very firm.

"Oh, why?" Fang Qingye asked in a calm and unhurried tone.

"Abenomics is still taking effect, the depreciation of the yen will be a continuous process, Japan's quantitative easing policy is still in progress, constantly injecting liquidity into the stock market, so the stock market is destined not to fall sharply. Therefore, I think the Japanese stock market is showing a kind of range-bound fluctuation, and the corresponding TOPIX index futures are also like this."

"Instead of focusing on the index, it's better to study individual stocks—I predict that the opportunities in individual stocks will far outweigh those in the stock index in 2013!"

"Do you and your colleagues think so?" Fang Qingye asked.

"Yes, including during our exchanges with colleagues in Shanghai and other parts of the mainland, we all agree!" Ouyang Shaoqiang's tone was full of confidence.

This is not just my judgment, but the consensus of many investment experts!
"Haha." Fang Qingye laughed after hearing this. "If you all think that way, then I'm even more determined to buy. Didn't Buffett say something like, 'Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful'?"

“I believe this statement holds true only under certain conditions and contexts. I think people are now abusing this statement and misleading some investors! Of course,” Ouyang Shaoqiang said with a serious expression, then quickly added, “it will not mislead investors like Mr. Fang.”

Ah?
Is that how you say it?

He didn't mean it.

"You're right, I was just joking at first." Fang Qingye also became serious:
"What you just said makes a lot of sense, including the analysis of your colleagues. However, it overlooks one fact: there are many uncertainties in this world, but their impact on the stock market is enormous."

"Black swan?!" Ouyang Shaoqiang immediately thought of a term.
