Chapter 215 A Special Birthday Gift
…
“Copper futures?”
“Why do copper futures?”
Seeing that Lu Feng chose copper futures, others were a little puzzled.
Lu Feng knew they didn’t understand, so he explained directly: “The economy has been developing well in recent years, and industrial use is very large. The international copper price has been running high for a long time. But the collapse of Lehman Brothers Bank is bound to cause a global financial crisis. The industrial use of copper will definitely see a sharp correction in the future.”
"Right now, the price of Shanghai copper is more than 53,000 per ton. I estimate that within half a year, it will most likely fall to around 20,000."
When trading futures, it is common practice to use a 10x leverage.
When using leverage, the most feared thing is volatility. A slight fluctuation will most likely lead to a direct liquidation.
As for Shanghai Copper Futures, Lu Feng remembers very clearly that after the National Day in 2008, there would be continuous limit downs without any pullback in between.
It quickly dropped from 50,000 to around 30,000, and then, after a while, it finally reached the historical low of 20,000.
He only needs to eat the middle part, which is the fattest and has no risk of getting stuck in the throat, and he can get 4 times the profit!
For Lu Feng, this market situation is simply perfect!
Don’t think too much, just go all in!
All he had to do was to open short positions at high levels as much as possible when copper futures were rising before National Day.
As for what I said to others, about the reduction in industrial use and the impact of the financial crisis causing the copper price to plummet, although there is some logic in it, the short-term behavior of the financial market is completely illogical.
Lu Feng relied on his reborn memories to cheat!
"Okay, this is the situation. You can think about it for a few days, but a decision must be made before the 20th."
"We have finished talking about this matter. I have to excuse myself now."
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he left the private room.
There's no point in having dinner with a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people.
He had already made an appointment with Liu Shishi to have dinner in Dongyang City. There was a newly opened high-altitude restaurant with a river view, and he heard that the environment was pretty good.
Liu Shishi has always been very well-behaved and very serious when filming on the set. She never causes trouble for Lu Feng. Lu Feng likes to fall in love with girls like this the most.
There is absolutely no need to worry.
Unlike Yang Mi, who causes him trouble every day and there are too many unexpected situations.
So during the filming period, even though Yang Mi tried to seduce him in every way, Lu Feng just wouldn't take the bait and relied on his strong willpower to hold on.
Because he was very sure that as long as he was two-timing in the crew, Yang Mi would definitely screw him.
…
River view restaurant.
Liu Shishi was wearing a decent light green long dress. Her hair seemed to be casually draped, but it was actually carefully cared for.
She wore a pair of black-framed glasses and pretended to be at home, but she put on light makeup on her face.
If you don't look carefully, you would think she went out on a date without makeup.
However, the lighter the makeup, the more it tests your skills, and if you apply it well, you can be considered a god.
She obviously looks more beautiful, but I don’t know where she has become more beautiful.
Lu Feng has similar doubts now.
So, after he sat down, he stared at Liu Shishi for a long time and whispered, "Is it because of the light? I always feel that you are particularly beautiful tonight."
Lu Feng was half confused and half moved, which made Liu Shishi couldn't help laughing.
This is exactly the effect we want.
It took her a long time to put on this light makeup, and she even asked the makeup artist of the crew for advice.
Just for Lu Feng's praise, everything is worth it.
A moment later.
The waiter started serving the food.
"Special roast duck, beef cubes with black pepper and onion... and a fried pork chop. I ordered it especially for you because I know you like it."
Before coming, Liu Shishi did some research and knew the characteristics of this restaurant.
The other dishes were ok.
Fried pork chops, can Liu Shishi eat this?
Seeing Lu Feng looking at her in confusion, Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you thinking about? You eat yours, and I eat mine."
After getting to know each other, Lu Feng discovered that Liu Shishi didn't mind what he ate.
As long as he doesn't force Liu Shishi, just eat with him.
Liu Shishi picked up a piece of fried pork chop for him, then wiped her chopsticks with a tissue and picked up a piece of braised mandarin fish for herself.
She said calmly, "I know that we have many different habits. You can't eat without meat at every meal, and you like to eat all kinds of fried foods. But I like to eat vegetarian food, tofu, and egg custard."
"You like green bean cakes, and I like red bean cakes... But it doesn't matter. At worst, we can go out to eat together later and you can order yours and I'll order mine."
"You don't have to keep giving in to me."
Although the two have different living habits and tastes, Liu Shishi feels that these are all trivial matters and everyone can tolerate each other.
In this world, it is not easy to meet someone who can tolerate you.
She is willing to tolerate everything about Lu Feng.
She could even tolerate the fact that Lu Feng was a little unfaithful.
After all, after being in the entertainment industry for a few years, Liu Shishi has seen some scenes. Those celebrities appear to be righteous on the surface, but who knows what they are like behind the scenes.
Others don't say.
Isn’t Hu Ge, her good buddy in the company, the same?
At least, Lu Feng is still a very conscientious person.
He knew that he was fooling around outside and felt sorry for Li Xiaoqin, so he took great pains to prepare some snacks for Li Xiaoqin, probably to make up to Li Xiaoqin.
Liu Shishi felt that although she had only known Lu Feng for a year, she was very sure that she understood Lu Feng better than Li Xiaoqin.
"My lady, you are so considerate."
Liu Shishi's gentle offensive, wave after wave, really made Lu Feng unable to resist.
There are actually such simple girls in the entertainment industry?
Faced with Liu Shishi's kindness, Lu Feng had no way to repay her and could only make her a super star.
In another time and space, Liu Shishi performed well on the small screen, but her performance on the big screen was lackluster.
Firstly, it is because Liu Shishi’s acting skills are a bit poor, especially her lines. She speaks weakly and sounds hollow.
For lines like these on the small screen, you can find voice actors.
But it's not suitable for the big screen.
Unless this character cries all the way through the movie, then Liu Shishi's voice, which sounds a bit tearful, will not only not become a burden, but will become a tear-jerking point.
"Madam, I discussed the Zhu Xian project with Boss Cai a few days ago. She thought it was feasible and asked me to ask for your opinion."
For the project of "Zhu Xian", Lu Feng is willing to invest money, Boss Cai will provide manpower and equipment, and then they will go to various universities to sign a few newcomers to promote them.
The old people lead the new people, this is the consistent pattern of the Tang people.
However, in the past, Boss Cai would definitely not be willing to share the cake with others.
Lu Feng is an exception.
There is no way, Lu Feng can really take Liu Shishi to make a movie together.
"Night Club" will be released next month.
In addition, Lu Feng also has the copyrights to several novels and can make movies at any time. He has also promised to play the heroine of one of the novels, Liu Shishi.
As long as this movie becomes popular, Liu Shishi’s fashion endorsement will definitely be a hit.
Isn't this equivalent to giving money to Boss Cai?
And the most important point.
Lehman Brothers Bank really collapsed.
Next, there will be countless opportunities to make a fortune in the market, waiting for everyone to pick up the corpses.
Boss Cai also wanted to have a bite of meat.
However, not everyone can play in the financial market, and Lu Feng has proven his judgment many times.
In this situation, of course she wanted to curry favor with Lu Feng.
Everyone is out there, whether it's in the entertainment industry, the financial industry, or even like Lu Feng who is engaged in food processing, isn't it all for the purpose of making money?
Since Lu Feng can make money with Boss Cai, Boss Cai can certainly also make money with Lu Feng in the film and television industry.
Mutual benefit, that's what a circle is.
If you want to reap the benefits unilaterally, you are treating others as fools.
After a long time, who will play with you?
Lu Feng may still be a little-known figure in the entertainment industry, but he is more successful than some senior executives of companies in the entertainment industry.
Because he is talented, his family is rich, and he has a strong backer.
Moreover, he knows how to make a big cake, so that everyone can have a bite as long as they sit at his table.
"I read a little bit of the novel "Zhu Xian" when I was in school. I was deeply impressed by the female character Bi Yao. But I feel that I may not be suitable for playing this role."
When "Zhu Xian" was serialized, Liu Shishi happened to be studying at the Beijing Dance Academy. She had nothing to do, so she borrowed the first half of the novel from a classmate.
In Qingyun Sect, Bi Yao blocked a fatal sword attack for Zhang Xiaofan under the Zhuxian Sword. Her three souls and seven spirits dissipated, and she relied on the rare treasure [Hehuan Bell] on her body to forcibly hold back one soul and secure it inside the bell.
Liu Shishi stopped reading after seeing this.
Because she felt that the next story would definitely be very cliché, with Zhang Xiaofan looking for ways to resurrect Bi Yao.
The facts were just as she expected.
The following storyline is indeed like this.
The most speechless thing is that at the end, Bi Yao did not resurrect.
Lu Feng actually wanted her to play Bi Yao?
She won't do it!
Because Liu Shishi has read the novel, she guessed that Lu Feng would most likely ask Li Xiaoqin to play the other female lead of "Zhu Xian", Lu Xueqi.
Li Xiaoqin's temperament and appearance are very suitable for the role of Lu Xueqi.
The most important thing is that Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan got together.
But Biyao died.
From another perspective, doesn't this mean that she lost to Li Xiaoqin?
It's so unlucky.
She will definitely not play this role!
"Lu Feng, I don't want to film "Zhu Xian", I want to film Ling Yiyao."
Liu Shishi felt that she was confident in confronting Yang Mi, but if the opponent was Li Xiaoqin, it would be hard to say.
After all, Li Xiaoqin came first.
Lu Feng must feel a little guilty towards Li Xiaoqin.
She is now hanging out with Lu Feng every day, and their relationship is heating up quickly. She absolutely cannot let Lu Feng feel guilty towards Li Xiaoqin.
Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain.
"Okay then. Let's put this project on hold for now."
There are so many ancient idol dramas that are used to promote people, but no matter what, they are not as good as "Chinese Paladin III".
After filming "Chinese Paladin III", it is highly likely that Liu Shishi will not be able to use the projects that are usually used to promote people.
If she wants to become a celebrity, the fastest way is to make movies.
"Regarding Ling Yiyao's movie, when Night Club is released in a couple of days, I will ask Bald Brother if he knows a suitable assistant director or director assistant to come and help me."
It’s too difficult to make a movie by yourself.
The most important thing is that Lu Feng doesn’t have that much time to prepare.
The shooting time of a movie is about three months, but the preparatory work is estimated to be about half a year, and the post-production editing will take another three months.
At least one year will be spent on it.
During this long period of time, Lu Feng has been filming idol dramas to earn points, and he has been able to film three of them.
The cost-effectiveness of being a director is too low.
Unless someone helps him complete most of the work, he can take out three months to experience life on the crew, be the leading actor, and do the director work part-time.
This is more cost-effective.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Didn't you say that after the filming of Chinese Paladin III is over, all of us will be famous. I want to wait until we become famous before taking on more work, so that the pay will be higher."
Although Liu Shishi looks silly and very naive, she is actually quite smart.
"Besides, didn't you ask me to be the spokesperson for Three Squirrels? With the endorsement fee you give me, I'm not afraid of starving to death."
Liu Shishi felt that the reason why Lu Feng chose the three of them as spokespersons was mainly because of her face and he was thinking of ways to give her money to spend.
But Lu Feng was embarrassed to do it too obviously, for fear that Li Xiaoqin, the queen, would come to him.
If we sign three at once, Li Xiaoqin probably won’t have anything to say.
"My lady, you have such a good attitude."
Lu Feng was really impressed by Liu Shishi's calmness.
Other female stars, seeing that they are becoming popular, are anxious, fearing that this fleeting opportunity will slip away from their fingertips.
Liu Shishi was neither hurried nor slow, as if she had calculated correctly that God would not let her down.
"Actually, my mentality is not always this good."
Liu Shishi glanced at Lu Feng and whispered, "A few days ago, when you returned to the Magic City, I would check the weather forecast for the Magic City every morning when I woke up."
She was not looking at the weather forecast for Shanghai, but was thinking, if it was hot, should she remind Lu Feng not to go out? If it was raining, should she remind Lu Feng to bring an umbrella?
At this moment, Lu Feng felt particularly warm in his heart after understanding Liu Shishi's subtext.
Check out.
Sitting in the elevator, going downstairs.
Lu Feng couldn't help but hold Liu Shishi's hand and whispered in her ear: "Ms. Liu Shishi is the most beautiful girl in the world. This is a lie."
Liu Shishi rolled her eyes.
If I had known earlier, you were just trying to trick me with this sentence.
No matter how narcissistic I am, I can never believe that I am the most beautiful girl in the world. This is such a lie.
But the next moment, Lu Feng added: "But in my heart, at this moment, Miss Liu Shishi is the most gentle and my favorite girl in the world. This is the truth."
Liu Shishi just wanted to complain about Lu Feng, saying, "We just finished a sweet dinner and you want to make me angry," but as she turned around, Lu Feng said something so nice.
Her mood was sometimes cloudy with light rain and sometimes sunny.
Her heart was in turmoil and she wanted to pull Lu Feng over and bite him hard to vent the love-hate feeling in her heart.
But if she looked up at the camera in the elevator, there was a high probability that she would be photographed, so Liu Shishi had to give up.
She followed Lu Feng silently to the underground garage. As soon as she got in the car, Liu Shishi couldn't help herself.
He just held Lu Feng’s head and kissed him hard.
After kissing for a while, their lips parted.
Liu Shishi sat back down, straightened her messy hair, and asked quietly, "Are you still staying in the Little White Building tonight?"
"I won't stay here today."
Lu Feng shook his head and said as he drove, "I'll take you home first, and then I'll take my dad to stay with me for a few days."
"Oh. Then tell me when you're done with these few days."
Liu Shishi was a little disappointed.
If Lu Feng still lived in the Little White Building today, she would definitely go upstairs secretly.
No one spoke along the way.
20 minutes later, we returned to the Tangren’s small white building.
Before getting off the bus, Liu Shishi suddenly spoke and whispered quickly in Lu Feng's ear: "Last time we went shopping in Yiwu International Trade City, there was a kind of tassel bell anklet worn by Persian dancers. Do you remember it?"
“I remember.”
Lu Feng nodded. He had a deep memory of this thing.
"In addition to the tassel bell anklets, there are also waist chains, bracelets, and chains across the face. I didn't expect that the Middle Eastern headscarf guys, who appear to be the most conservative on the surface, are actually quite playful in private."
Lu Feng had never expected that Yiwu's small commodities have become popular all over the world in this era, and even various private sex toys from the Middle East are doing well.
"When you went to Shanghai, I went to Yiwu and bought a set. I wanted to find some time in the next few days to put on this set and dance ballet for you..."
After saying this, Liu Shishi glanced at Lu Feng with a blushing face, then quickly got out of the car.
Lu Feng was left alone in the car, his imagination running wild and he couldn't help himself.
The ballet dancer, the beautiful and charming Liu Shishi, put on a set of Persian dancer's bells and performed a striptease?
The contrast is so big?
Is this something I can watch for free?
In ancient times, I guess only kings and nobles could enjoy such benefits, right?
It’s a pity that I can’t post this kind of thing and tell others.
Otherwise, at least hundreds of millions of people would envy me!
…
Lu Feng's car stopped for a while in front of the Tangren's small white building.
A few minutes later, Lu Feng saw his father, who was drunk and staggering, and was being supported by someone to walk out.
He knew this would be the result.
That group of people got together just to drink and brag.
Anyway, let’s not talk about serious matters.
So, after discussing serious matters, he simply made an excuse to leave.
"Dad, please sit in the back seat and don't vomit. Otherwise, I will give you this car and let you bear the pressure of owning a million-dollar luxury car."
Dad was drunk. If it were someone else, Lu Feng would have just left him on the roadside.
But there's nothing I can do, this is my biological father.
He had no choice but to stuff his father into the back seat and then open the car window to let in some fresh air, mainly to let the smell of alcohol from his father dissipate.
To avoid leaving too strong a smell in the car.
He really couldn't stand the smell.
…
"Sister Zhao, please come downstairs and give me a hand."
After arriving at the community, Lu Feng found that his father had fallen asleep.
He was really convinced.
My dad weighs 150 kilograms, he definitely can’t move it by himself.
There was no other way, Lu Feng could only ask Zhao Ruoyao to come down and help.
When Zhao Ruoyao came down, he called Yang Mi down with him.
Today is Yang Mi’s birthday. She waited for Lu Feng at home for a long time, but Lu Feng didn’t come back.
It’s already past 10 o’clock in the evening and Lu Feng has just returned home.
Yang Mi was almost mad.
But when she heard Lu Feng hurriedly calling Zhao Ruoyao to come downstairs to help, she softened her heart and went downstairs to help.
"Is uncle drunk?"
Seeing that Lu Feng's father was drunk and unconscious, Yang Mi asked with concern, then helped Zhao Ruoyao to carry him into the elevator and send him upstairs.
The three of them struggled for a long time and finally managed to get Lu Feng's father to lie on the bed in the guest room.
Lu Feng placed a few washbasins beside the bed. In case his father wanted to vomit in the middle of the night, he would not get up to clean up and let his father vomit in the washbasin.
"Sister Zhao, little money-grubber, thank you."
A drunk person is very heavy. Even if three people are trying to toss one of them, they will be exhausted.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
After finishing their work, Zhao Ruoyao and Yang Mi prepared to turn around and go back to their home.
When going out, Yang Mi was hesitant and looked back every few steps, really wanting Lu Feng to call her, for example, "My dad is drunk and I don't know how to take care of him, can you help me?"
Although Yang Mi didn't know how to take care of others, as long as Lu Feng asked, she would stay without saying a word.
"Little money-grubber..."
"arrive!"
They were almost at the door, and it was about to close when Lu Feng suddenly called Yang Mi. Yang Mi's face immediately lit up and she became excited.
"Happy birthday."
Lu Feng took out a small gift box from his pocket, put it in Yang Mi's hand, and waved goodbye to her.
Watching the door slowly close.
Yang Mi couldn't help but pout slightly: "What? You even prepared the gift, but you refused my invitation to the birthday dinner."
It was cute to see that although Yang Mi was complaining about Lu Feng, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Zhao Ruoyao couldn't help but say, "Let's take a look at what the gift is first. The boss is always very generous."
"Um."
Yang Mi nodded, opened the gift box and took a look.
Wow!
The next second, Yang Mi and Zhao Ruoyao exclaimed together.
“It turned out to be a custom necklace.”
This necklace is very beautiful, especially the pendant, which uses small diamonds to spell out the two English letters YM.
It is the pinyin abbreviation of Yang Mi's name.
"Mi Mi, the boss is very attentive to you. I think he asked someone to customize it a month ago."
"Uh-huh."
Yang Mi carefully put the necklace away like a baby, giggled, took Zhao Ruoyao's arm, turned around and went downstairs.
When you are in a good mood, you will fly.
——My birthday wish this year is that from today on, all your love will be spent on me alone!
