Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

"A coal mine owner?" Lin Shaoyang couldn't help but wonder.

The person in front of me is tall, handsome, with thick hair, and looks quite young.

This is quite different from the coal bosses I had in mind from the mainland.

"Mr. Lu, aren't you going to buy some for yourself?"

"My area of ​​expertise is medium to long-term investments. Ah, that's CNOOC, right? That's not bad either. You can take a look and consider buying it."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he discovered another stock that had performed well this year.

"My funds are limited, and I have many places where I need money, so I can't invest a large amount of money in the stock market."

In the middle of the conversation, Zhou Mei went out to answer a phone call, and when she came back, she said she had to leave first.

Their eyes were full of reluctance to part, like those of a newlywed couple.

I don't want to be apart from you for a year, a month, a day, or even an hour.

With so many people around, it wasn't appropriate for the two of them to appear overly affectionate.

"Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Zhou Mei smiled, "No need, I've made an appointment with a lawyer friend of mine to have dinner together tonight."

"Yes, it's a girl."

Your attempt to cover it up only makes things worse, Miss Mei'er.

Lu Yuan nodded, inwardly complaining.

The look in that guy surnamed Lin's eyes was already strange.

Lin Shaoyang's gaze did indeed shift back and forth between the two people.

The relationship between these two people is definitely not as polite and courteous as it appears on the surface.

However, this is their private matter and has nothing to do with me.

After saying goodbye, they watched Zhou Mei leave the Hong Kong Stock Exchange lobby until her figure completely disappeared.

"Mr. Lu, are you really not considering trying some short-term trading?"

"With Mr. Lu's insight, if he were willing to come to the financial sector, he could definitely make a name for himself at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."

Lu Yuan turned to look at him, his expression inscrutable, his eyes seeming to see right through him, making Lin Shaoyang feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Mr. Lin's mentality is really unusual. If I lost that much money overnight, I would definitely have a mental breakdown."

Lin Shaoyang looked distressed; no one could remain calm when faced with such a huge loss.

"Things have already come to this, there's nothing I can do. I should have listened to Mr. Lu."

"Fortunately, I still have some resources, so at least I don't have to go to the rooftop."

Lin Shaoyang said half-jokingly.

"But could you please take a look at these stocks for me, Mr. Lu?"

"I'd really like to hear Mr. Lu's opinion."

Lu Yuan took the paper from Lin Shaoyang, on which several stock numbers and their corresponding companies were handwritten.

Lu Yuan glanced at it symbolically, stroked his chin, and began to analyze it in a serious manner.

But does Lu Yuan really understand? He doesn't understand anything.

He only knew that Lin Shaoyang in later generations did not give up and made a comeback in a short period of time.

That will more or less rely on the stocks currently in hand.

Relying on his status as a reborn individual, he incorporated some interpretations from later generations into his narrative.

Lin Shaoyang's eyes lit up, he was about to fall for Lu the Great Charlatan's trick.

During this period, Lu Yuan also occasionally revealed that although he was not good at short-term trading, he was very interested in trying it out.

This was tantamount to giving Lin Shaoyang a certain psychological suggestion and planting a hook.

Is Lu Yuan rich? He has 100 million yuan in cash, excluding his initial investment in the mobile phone industry and the investment he made to open a studio for Zhou Mei in order to enter the film and television industry.

Lu Yuan still has over 9000 million yuan in his hands. This amount is not much among coal bosses, but it is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

Lu Yuan's chosen path ranges from batteries and screens to chips, and from operating systems to application software.

Which one isn't a major money burner?

If you throw 9000 million at it, it might not even make a ripple.

By planning ahead, we can accomplish more with less money in the future.

Lu Yuan needs more money now; he wants to use his current capital as leverage to attract even more capital.

"Some large domestic banking institutions are very interested in listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."

"As far as I know, some banks, such as China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, have already completed the preliminary preparation procedures."

"These will definitely have some outstanding performances."

"In Macau, the authorities intend to continue easing restrictions, leading to a large influx of foreign hot money. It's obvious that rapid development is on the horizon."

Lin Shaoyang became increasingly alarmed as he listened. The information contained here was something even someone of his level couldn't access. He wrote down everything Lu Yuan said in his notebook.

Upon returning to the company, Lin Shaoyang quickly mobilized his connections, inquiring around and subtly seeking information.

Although it's impossible to verify all the messages, the few that were verified were enough to prove the authenticity of the information Lu Yuan provided.

This made Lin Shaoyang even more convinced that Lu Yuan was not just a simple coal boss as he appeared on the surface.

Its background and connections are likely incredibly powerful.

Feeling that the timing was right, Lu Yuan believed he had already given Lin Shaoyang a significant shock.

It's important to remember that too much of a good thing can be bad; saying too much can easily scare people away.

Lu Yuan made up an excuse and went home first.

After the two parted ways, Lu Yuan slowly walked back to the hotel.

He reflected on the day's events: the hook had been set, and the bait had been plentiful.

He didn't believe Lin Shaoyang could really resist taking the bait.

Sure enough, Lin Shaoyang's company was brightly lit all night.

The next morning, Lin Shaoyang, with bloodshot eyes and disheveled hair, was struggling internally after not sleeping all night.

He wondered if he should see Lu Yuan again.

Lin Shaoyang is considered one of the four rising stars in Hong Kong's financial world; his IQ is definitely not low.

It's probably no coincidence that he was able to meet Lu Yuan so coincidentally in the stock market.

Based on this, it seems highly likely that the other party is targeting them.

But the other party didn't make any further moves, probably wanting to wait for him to come over on his own.

All he knew was that this person was a coal mine owner from mainland China, surnamed Lu, but he knew nothing else about him.

He might even be a fake coal mine owner, and he might not even be surnamed Lu.

Lin Shaoyang thought of someone.

Zhou Mei!

The two of them were exchanging glances yesterday; their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

But he wasn't familiar with Zhou Mei at all.

If you ask a friend to find out Zhou Mei's contact information.

This can easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

He was certain that he had inquired about Zhou Mei's contact information today.

This matter will appear in the tabloids tomorrow.

And it will also be embellished in various ways.

What kind of rising star in the financial world is he, admiring a movie goddess?

What about single goddesses who might be snatched up by finance guys?

If Boss Lu misunderstands again, it would be even more of a loss.

But in this vast sea of ​​people, I can't possibly run into them again at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Putting aside the possibility of meeting again, this behavior gives the impression that one's own abilities are limited.

Thinking about this, Lin Shaoyang became somewhat agitated and couldn't continue his work, so he had no choice but to give up.
