Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

Lu Yuan felt that time stretched out for a very long moment, as if he had been banished to another dimension.

If it weren't for Zhou Mei, I don't know how long I would have been under her control.

At this moment, Lu Yuan regretted watching so much nonsense.

My horizons have broadened, and my knowledge has expanded, but why bother pondering these messy notions of fate and urban legends?

Damn short videos.

Yes, short videos are also an option.

"Why are you awake?"

"It's all because of you! I was sleeping peacefully, why did you bang on the table?"

Lu Yuan was very embarrassed

"So you were woken up at that time. I thought you had fallen asleep again."

"I wanted to keep sleeping, but I couldn't fall asleep."

"I saw you were deep in thought, so I thought I'd come over and scare you."

"I didn't expect you to have absolutely no reaction. How boring."

Lu Yuan smiled and pulled Zhou Mei into his arms.

"I was wrong, I apologize to Mei'er."

"I'll soothe Mei'er's breathing."

As he spoke, he placed his hands on Zhou Mei's body and gently massaged her from top to bottom and from left to right, his technique quite authentic.

Zhou Mei rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"Are you trying to appease me, or are you taking advantage of me?"

"Same as above, does it make any difference to me?"

Zhou Mei had already given up on Lu Yuan's shamelessness; on the contrary, she was happy that her body could still fascinate this bratty younger brother.

Finding herself unable to break free, she simply let his large hands do whatever they wanted to her.

The paper on the table, covered with circles drawn by Lu Yuan, caught Zhou Mei's attention.

The list shows the names of several companies, with their stock codes listed in front of them.

"Is this the stock you picked? I'll buy it along with you."

"Oh no, this won't do!"

"Ah~ Lu Yuan, you promised to take me shopping together."

"Lastly, you can buy Sino-Forest. It may increase in value by more than 15 times in the next 5 years."

Zhou Mei was so shocked she could hardly speak.

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

"But 15 times is too exaggerated. Does that mean if I invest 100 million, it will become 1500 million after 5 years?"

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then touched the goddess's chin.

"Well, this is just a theoretical number, and the actual figure may differ. The future is ever-changing, and I can't say I'm 100% certain."

"Anyway, you don't need to invest in TV dramas anymore, and if you have spare money, you can put it in the stock market. If you make a profit, consider it pocket money from me."

"But you can't be greedy. When I tell you to sell, you have to sell quickly, or you'll really lose everything."

As expected, high returns are usually accompanied by high risks, Zhou Mei nodded.

"Don't worry, I know what's important. I'll be very obedient. Whether I make money or not, as long as you tell me to sell, I'll sell immediately."

One second you see the stock market rising, and you feel great, thinking it will continue to rise.

Zhou Mei said she had seen far too many examples of things that could fall through the floorboards in the next second.

Wasn't Lin Shaoyang yesterday a perfect example? He didn't sell when he should have, and as a result, he lost most of his fortune.

"Can I buy these four too?"

Lu Yuan quickly stopped her, "My dear little aunt, you can't buy these four. If you do, you might lose so much you won't even have your underwear left."

As he spoke, he pinched Zhou Mei's round buttocks, only to find that the goddess was indeed wearing no underwear.

"Then why did you write them down? You drew so many circles on their names."

"I just scribbled this down while I was thinking. And I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."

Zhou Mei nodded vigorously.

"These four are mine, Lin Shaoyang, and I'm planning to short them."

Short selling?

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Lu Yuan was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't expect Zhou Mei's eyes to light up upon hearing the news. Her eyes were filled with admiring hearts.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"Short selling, don't you think it's cool? Relying on a keen sense of smell, calm thinking, and precise execution, it's like a hunter with a sniper rifle, quietly waiting for the prey to appear, and then decisively striking."

With a thud, the prey fell to the ground.

Lu Yuan found it amusing. "Wait, where did you learn all this?"

"What happened in the book?"

"So you think short sellers are a very powerful, cool, and great character."

"He wouldn't call himself great, but he was definitely very capable, like a ruthless killer who could make a lot of money."

Indeed, unlike those within the industry who universally condemn airdrops,

A large portion of ordinary people admire short sellers.

Calm and powerful.

They act rashly, dancing on the edge of a knife.

They have brains, strength, and the ability to execute.

She certainly has a lot of personal charm.

Therefore, people who don't understand the true nature of airdrops might actually admire them.

"Short selling can be quick to make money, but compared to buying long, the profits are not much."

Lu Yuan carefully corrected Zhou Mei's views, but Zhou Mei didn't seem to accept it.

"That's not much. I read in that book that someone made 300 billion in one go by short selling."

Lu Yuan was shocked. He made 300 billion from a single short selling? That means the company's market value is at least 1200 billion to 1500 billion.

What kind of company is so rich? With a market value of 05 billion in 1500, it must have been one of the top ten companies in the world.

Which big shot would dare to take action against these behemoths? How come I've never heard of this news?

Logically speaking, this kind of news should be quite sensational.

Lu Yuan pondered deeply, and without realizing it, the force in his hands increased.

"Ouch, be gentle, it hurts!"

Lu Yuan then came to his senses and tentatively asked...

"Which company is being shorted?"

"Dolce & Gabbana, a German luxury brand."

Lu Yuan was even more puzzled

"That's not right. Dolce & Gabbana is Italian, and it's a private company, not a publicly traded one."

"How do you short sell like this?"

"Huh? I'm not really sure either. I don't know much about the stock market."

"Then tell me the general situation, so I can learn from it."

Zhou Mei thought about it carefully.

"Jiang Siming invested 1 billion RMB to short Dolce & Gabbana. Three days later, Dolce & Gabbana's stock price plummeted, and this person transferred 30 billion RMB in cash."

Lu Yuan seemed to sense that something was wrong.

"Let's set aside the question of whether Dolce & Gabbana is publicly listed or not."

"Do you know how much stock you can get in return for investing 10 billion? 15 to 30 billion."

"It means ignoring interest, dividend compensation, and securities lending fees, using 10 billion as margin to exchange for 30 billion worth of stocks."

"This is the ideal scenario. If those 3 billion shares were to drop to zero, becoming worthless, you would only make 3 billion. How could you possibly make 30 billion?"
