Chapter 76

Xiangjiang.

After sixteen hours of flight, the Boeing 777 finally landed.

First class users got off the plane first. Ye Dongqing stretched out and walked out, and went straight into a Mercedes-Benz business car. With several other first class passengers, their luggage will be given priority to them later. Compared with the expensive fare, this service is not worth mentioning.

I slept for about ten hours in the middle, so it was not difficult to bear. I applied for a visa on arrival at the customs office. The other party asked Ye Dongqing why he brought so many watches. He replied that he would visit relatives to give gifts. Considering that he did not make things difficult for him, he turned a blind eye and went there.

After seeing the records, I came to Xiangjiang for the first time. I had to do with the smugglers. I spent some time dealing with the customs clearance issue and exchanged thousands of dollars in cash into Hong Kong dollars. I left the airport to take a taxi and asked the driver to help find a high-end hotel with a night view of Victoria Harbor.

Taxi drivers like this kind of passenger the most. They personally arrange their luggage and then take him to the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel. Speaking of which, this is the first time Ye Dongqing has come to this city. He grew up in Manhattan and didn’t think the skyscrapers are so prosperous. However, the streets are really lively, with people everywhere and shops everywhere.

Most yellow people have faces, which makes Ye Dongqing feel close to him. When he is in the United States, he is always invisibly rejected. Even if he has received American cultural education since childhood, it is still difficult to integrate due to his skin color and appearance.

After arriving at the hotel, it was only 4:30 pm.

After entering and registering, I stayed in a super luxury room. While the bank card was still available, I paid the room rate for a whole month. After the discount, I had a total of 115,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was equivalent to more than 10,000 US dollars.

It is definitely a big customer. The manager personally took him to help carry his luggage to the room, and then gave him two bottles of red wine and a fruit set. As one of the most famous five-star hotels in Hong Kong, the service is unique.

The floor is quite high, and standing by the window, you can see the harbor and the tall buildings on the other side. You are quite satisfied with this room. After putting things down, you can't wait to turn on the computer to check the changes in crude oil prices. You can't make a phone call on the plane and can't use your laptop normally. You still don't know the transaction situation after you get on the plane.

When I saw the numbers, my heart was cold.

Compared to the price when buying, it has fallen by more than 70 cents, which means that more than 10 million US dollars have been lost, and it is almost lost all the money I made from the stock market some time ago.

There is probably room for a decline of nearly 1.5 US dollars until he is forced to close his position. After he is unable to continue to pay the full margin and is forced to close his position, Ye Dongqing will be in debt instantly and successfully transform from a poor and poor pauper to a "negative man" with tens of millions of dollars.

I was a little impulsive when I said that after a round of rise, the fluctuations would not be too large in the short term. Even if I lost money, I would have at least half a month to raise tens of millions of dollars to continue filling the hole. Unfortunately, this round of decline did not leave him much room for operation, and I regretted that I had put the full position into the gamble.

But it is just a "small". Just like investing in stocks, it mainly depends on long-term fluctuations. The rise and fall in the short term shows that the bulls and bears are playing, and the winner will soon be decided. The decision will be reflected in crude oil prices within a few days. Judging from the recent news that OPEC plans to reduce production, they are also trying to push up oil prices.

I need to wait a little longer. Before that, Ye Dongqing was helpless. Considering that it was still late in the United States and did not reply to those unanswered phone calls, he first read the news for a while, checked the situation of several companies, and then went to bed for a while.

People who don’t know are here and don’t know what to do. Now I think it’s time to travel and relax.

Please help the hotel staff contact the tour guide.

At around six o'clock, the two sides met in the lobby downstairs. The other party was still studying in the Chinese university and was only two years older than Ye Dongqing.

This is the caring thing about the hotel. They will not help Ye Dongqing find a male tour guide, and they also strive to be the best in appearance. In short, they cannot make customers feel uncomfortable.

*******

"I don't have a car, how did you come?"

After listening to the hourly wage price, Ye Dongqing didn't take it seriously and directly turned the topic on the means of transportation.

The young tour guide's English name is Selena and Chinese name is Lin Rou. He was just sophomore. He had a strong sense of treasure island in his accent, not the kind, and it sounded quite comfortable. He told Ye Dongqing when he introduced himself.

Xiangjiang's consumption level is much higher than her hometown. It is normal for students to work part-time. When the boss said that this time he met a big customer, Lin Rou quietly increased her hourly salary of HK$50 to HK$80. Seeing that the other party agreed, but she didn't have a car to pick him up and drop him off. This is really not what it should be.

He asked him frowningly: "Bus or subway? It's very convenient. If you want to play taxi, you can go to the beach to see the night view first, it's only a little far away."

Not that much attention was paid, Ye Dongqing nodded and followed the other party forward. When passing by the Peninsula Shopping Mall, he said, "I didn't bring my clothes this time. Let's go with me to buy short-sleeved shoes, and shoes, change clothes before leaving."

"There are many shops inside, and your accent sounds... from the mainland?"

"I grew up in New York. Where are you from? I heard that your island is very beautiful, and I haven't had the chance to see it."

He didn't expect that Xiangjiang would have more than 20 degrees in November. His shirts and leather shoes didn't look like they were traveling no matter how hard he looked, and he was worried that his feet would hurt when he walked away.

"The scenery is left, nothing else is good. People are walking out. Rich immigrants to the United States, and some go to the United Kingdom and France. Anyway, no one wants to stay at home. I went to the 7-Eleven convenience store in high school and earned only NT$100 an hour."

Lin Rou complained that after listening to Ye Dongqing converted it into US dollars, there was only a pitiful three dollars, no wonder she couldn't keep anyone.

The US dollar is worth nothing, but the price level is also high. It would be very valuable to bring the US dollar to other countries to spend it. After buying clothes and shoes, they would store their clothes there, and agreed to come and pick them up tomorrow. The two of them walked to the dock and looked at the night view across the Victoria Harbour.

This little tour guide seems to be very interested in New York and has been asking which one is more beautiful. Ye Dongqing only told her that New York has a stronger sense of history. Both international metropolis have their own advantages. The city that was originally not outstanding looks more comfortable because of the harbor.

I haven't eaten dinner yet, so how can I not eat snacks when I come to Xiangjiang? Today I don't plan to go to Central on the other side of the shore. I first take a taxi to the nearby snack street. It is bustling with the snack street in Chinatown. It is much richer. I only walked one quarter of the street, so he was already overwhelmed...
