After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 40

[Chapter 40]

Tao Mu regards Li Xiaozheng as a future big investor. In order to make Li Xiaozheng trust him more in the future venture capital level, Tao Mu will naturally not hide these professional skills – of course, some necessary things such as funding sources. The secret must still be kept. Besides, the reason why Tao Mu’s rate of return is so high is not because of how good he is in trading skills, but because of his vision and experience far exceeding his peers, and his inexplicable intuition every time he trades, which makes him easily to determine the fluctuation trend of international oil futures. But if you really want to talk about the subtleties of trading and theoretical knowledge, Li Xiaoxiang, a professional gold trader, will definitely throw him out a few streets.

However, this kind of intuition is fine as a trader and retail investor. If it is a private investment advisor to others, it is not easy to explain. A little carelessness will make people misunderstood as a swindling liar.

Fortunately, people like Li Xiaoxiang are very aware of the importance of talent and intuition in the financial field

—many times, long-winded data analysis is not enough for a trader’s flash of inspiration. Li Xiaoqiang had a deep understanding of this.

“I knew that your financial sense was very sharp, but I didn’t expect that I underestimated your ability.” After listening to Tao Mu’s series of operations patiently, Li Xiaozhen couldn’t help but sigh: “Your short-selling and bullish vision is comparable to I’m much stronger.”

Tao Mu smiled and said very humbly: “I just operate with intuition. When it comes to professionalism, I’m not as good as Brother Li.” Li

Xiaohe smiled: “Don’t be humble. When you were so old, you just came to study in country M, and you only know how to study hard every day, and occasionally try your hand at the stock market, but you don’t have the courage

to fight your back.” Professionalism, he only needs to take a look at Tao Mu’s investment capital and operation mode, and he can immediately conclude that Tao Mu has definitely invested his own money-not only that, but also the “private money” of relatives and friends. went in.

Li Xiaohe always thought that he was an extremely conceited person in the professional field, but at Tao Mu’s age, he did not have the courage to fight against the bottom line like Tao Mu.

Tao Mu’s face blushed when Li Xiaozheng praised him with sincerity. If it weren’t for the rebirth this time, with the foresight and insight of the next ten years, even if he had the courage to gamble with his own capital, I’m afraid he would not have the courage to fool Liu Yaomengqi and the others into taking out private money and go short with him.

Therefore, compared to the big brother Li who was able to establish Xiaozheng Capital in the first semester of his freshman year, his tossing is really relying on the light of rebirth, and there is nothing to brag about.

Li Xiaozheng looked at Tao Mu with a warm smile. Speaking of which, he has always been puzzled. In his opinion, with Tao Mu’s talent and achievements, he should be a very confident person. However, Li Xiaozhen and Tao Mu had contacted twice, but vaguely found that Tao Mu always unconsciously revealed a bit of inferiority in his speech and behavior.

Li Xiaoxiang thought about it a few times in private, and felt that Tao Mu’s mentality probably stemmed from his life experience as an orphan. There is not an argument in psychology to the effect that the absence of a family can cause a person to grow up extremely insecure. Li Xiaochuan guessed that Tao Mu was the same. But he didn’t know that Tao Mu’s experience was far more bizarre and tragic than this basic psychological analysis.

Li Xiaoxiang quietly observed his private investment advisor. While chatting, according to Tao Mu’s eyes, he turned the disc from time to time, or raised his chopsticks to take a bite of food for Tao Mu.

This kind of table manners was so meticulous that Tao Mu, who was accustomed to taking care of others, was a little uncomfortable.

“Brother Li, don’t be too busy serving me.” Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoxiang: “Between the two of us, don’t be so polite.”

“Okay.” Suddenly he said with emotion: “In all these years, apart from the New Year’s Eve banquet, it seems that I haven’t eaten so much for a long time. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Xiaomu. If you hadn’t been with me, I wouldn’t be too lazy to eat a meal. It’s been so long.”

Tao Mu smiled and said, “Brother Li is a person who manages all kinds of things every day, and is naturally different from us ordinary people.”

“What’s the difference?” Li Xiaozheng looked at Tao Mu with burning eyes, his dark eyes were warm and clear, clearly reflecting Tao Mu’s figure: “No matter how much time and energy we spend on anything, what we want in the end is what we want. It’s all to meet expectations. It’s just that some people like to eat, drink and play, and we like to work.”

When Li Xiaoxiang said this, he turned the topic to Tao Mu’s shorting of international oil: “…I listen Luo Yang said, in order to keep an eye on the disk, you don’t sleep every night, and you have to take care of your studies and Feixun.com. Will it be too hard?”

Tao Mu shook his head and smiled: “As you said just now, we The reason why I do so many things is because I like it. Since it is something I like, why do you feel hard?”

“But you can’t work too hard and burn your body.” Li Xiaoxiang laughed: “You are still young, you don’t know people In fact, the energy and spirit of a person are limited. Now overdrafting the body in exchange for wealth, in the future, it may be necessary to exchange wealth for health. Xiao

Mu is so smart, does he not want to do this kind of loss-making business?” . He seemed to have guessed what Li Xiaoqiang wanted to say.

Sure enough, seeing Tao Mu looking over, Li Xiaozheng smiled and put down the tableware and proposed: “My personal opinion, since you are my private investment advisor, Xiao Mu, I won’t mention anything else, just shorting international crude oil. On the list, the goals and interests of the two of us are the same. In this case, why can’t the two of us work together. Your eyesight and my trading skills, I believe that when we cooperate, we must be very tacit.”

The most important thing Yes, after the two of them cooperated, Tao Mu didn’t have to stay up late every night to get out of jet lag, and stared at the market all the time, for fear that the slightest omission would be liquidated. Li Xiaozhen can also use Tao Mu’s eyesight and judgment to do more subtle manipulations.

This is a combination of two benefits, and it is a powerful combination where one plus one is greater than two. Li Xiaozhen couldn’t think of any reason for Tao Mu to refuse.

Sure enough, Tao Mu pondered for a moment, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Xiaoxiang’s proposal – not only would it make more money, but it would also deepen the bond between the two. This kind of interpersonal relationship under the binding of interests will be more stable. It is also very consistent with Tao Mu’s original intention of getting to know Li Xiaoxiang.

Tao Mu secretly dialed the abacus in his heart and readily agreed.

As soon as the words came out, Tao Mu felt that the atmosphere in the private room was suddenly much more relaxed and lively. Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaozheng, and felt that the sudden strengthening of the cooperation between the two also promoted their personal friendship.

In fact it is. At least from Li Xiaoxiang’s point of view, since Tao Mu has agreed to cooperate – his job function will be transitioned from Li Xiaoxiang’s personal investment advisor to his chief analyst, then the relationship between the two can’t be like the previous “you can ask and I will answer” loose. In order to ensure that Tao Mu can guide his trading at any time, Li Xiaoxiang believes that the two must ensure that they can contact each other at any time within 24 hours.

In addition to these obligations that must be fulfilled, corresponding rights must also be in place. For example, in terms of revenue sharing, contracts must be strictly followed. In this way, Li Xiaozheng can use Tao Mu confidently.

So Li Xiaoxiang made a cross-ocean phone call that night and directly instructed the legal counsel of Xiaoxiang Capital to draft an employment contract. According to the treatment of Xiaoxiang Capital’s partners, it stipulated in detail the profit sharing that Tao Mu deserved and the obligations that must be fulfilled. obligation. In addition, there is a contract for Tao Mu to open an account in Xiaoxiang Capital. Then the next morning, he personally delivered it to Tao Mu.

Tao Mu was still in military training at that time. After receiving a call from Li Xiaozheng, he immediately asked the instructor for leave and ran out.

The autumn wind is cool, and the camphor trees on both sides of the street are rendered golden yellow. Large swathes of camphor leaves fell on the clean streets, the sunlight poured down from the gaps of the camphor trees, mottled light and shadow danced in the air, and the entire campus turned golden. Tao Mu ran across the playground wearing a military training uniform and black high-top boots, his youthful appearance was so handsome and charming. Sitting in the car, Li Xiaozheng saw Tao Mu’s figure running towards him in the sun, and suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

When Tao Mu opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot’s seat, Li Xiaozheng felt a hot wind blowing in his face, mixed with the smell of autumn grass and sunshine, which made him a little drunk.

Li Xiaohe handed his handkerchief to Tao Mu, motioning him to wipe the sweat from his face.

Tao Mu had never imagined that in this day and age, there are still people carrying handkerchiefs with them, and he was a little stunned for a while.

When he came back to his senses, Tao Mu smiled and waved his hand to refuse, and wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks with his sleeves: “No need. I have sweated for a day in this military training. Don’t waste your handkerchief.

” He took the handkerchief back, and handed over the contract in quadruplicate to Tao Mu, with a serious face: “Look at it, if you have any comments, I will ask the lawyer to change it immediately.”

The contract Li Xiaoqi asked the lawyer to draft is very formal and rigorous, and Taking full account of the rights and obligations of both parties, Tao Mu had nothing to pick on. He happily signed his name on the contract, smiled and stretched out his right hand to Li Xiaoxiang: “Happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation.” Li Xiaozheng clenched Tao Mu’s right hand tightly, his eyes lowered, staring at Tao Mu’s neat construction Beautiful Nails: “Then, starting from this evening, we will talk on the phone every day. If there is any problem, we will tell you over the phone.” This is an obligation stipulated in the contract, and Tao

Mu has no objection: “Okay.”

Mu then handed over his account to Li Xiaoqiang to take care of it. He disposed of a large number of vests overnight last night, poured thousands of hands in the international futures market, erased all traces, and finally collected all the funds into one account and handed it over to Li Xiaoxiang.

In this account, there is not only Tao Mu’s capital, but also the private money of Liu Yao and Meng Qi, as well as the pocket money of Da Mao and Xiao Pang, and the company’s idle funds that Uncle Wang has invested in recently.

After handing over these tasks, Li Xiaozhen looked at the sky, it was almost noon: “Would you like me to invite you to dinner?”

The food near the school is actually not good. At least Tao Mu didn’t think he would go along with Li Xiaoxiang’s taste. Except—

Tao Mu thought of this, and asked, “Do you like to eat mutton? Our roommate’s Wen Juxiang is also a time-honored brand in our Yanjing. It’s very authentic.

” , with a rare look of vigor, he suddenly said, “Actually, I prefer to eat your dishes.”

When the words came out, both of them were a little stunned. Before Li Xiaochuan could apologize for his rashness, Tao Mu suddenly smiled and said, “Okay. What do you like to eat? Why don’t we go to the vegetable market and have a look, and then I will cook it for you.

” Would it be too much trouble?”

“No.” Tao Mu shook his head: “I haven’t eaten my own meals for a long time. Anyway, we only have military training until 2:30 in the afternoon, so we have plenty of time.”

Li Xiaozhen knew Tao Mu’s thinking pattern , it is estimated that he still regards him as a rare business partner. There will be no faux pas on the face, or even disappointment to business partners. But in the bottom of my heart, it is hard to say whether he will complain that he is weird and difficult to deal with.

However, Li Xiaozheng was silent for a long time, and there was still no way to resist Tao Mu’s cooking skills, so he had to sigh

cheekily : “Then I’ll trouble you.” Just in time for the stock market to open. Therefore, there is no urgent need for Li Xiaoqi to fall behind the jet lag. Rather than going home to catch up on sleep, he would rather go to the farmers market with Tao Mu. Feel the hustle and bustle around you, as well as the housewives and vendors who are choking their necks and haggling. This kind of life was something he had never experienced before.

Expensive hand-made leather shoes stepped on the ground full of stagnant water. While looking left and right, Li Xiaoxiang asked Tao Mu, “Why don’t we go to the supermarket?”

“Because the fresh vegetables in the supermarket may not be fresh.” Tao Mu turned his head and glanced at the clothes he was wearing. The partner with a three-piece haute couture suit and a black trench coat persuaded him for the nth time: “Why don’t you go back to the car and wait for me. It’s too dirty here, don’t get your clothes dirty.

” A high-pitched “Man, let’s go” sounded behind Li Xiaozheng. Immediately after a gust of wind blew past, Li Xiaohe turned around abruptly, avoiding a bald-headed vendor who was pushing a tricycle into the market. Several pots of live fish and shrimp were piled on the vendor’s cart, and the smell was fishy and heavy.

Tao Mu looked down at the lively perch and shrimp, and asked Li Xiaoxiang, “Do you want to eat steamed fish and braised prawns?”

Li Xiaozheng put his hands in his pockets and answered very seriously: “I want to eat boiled fish.”

He has no preference for how to eat fish. But remember that Tao Mu likes to eat spicy food. As for the shrimp… He remembered that Tao Mu didn’t seem to like peeling shrimp. This is no problem, his shrimp peeling skills are professional level. Every year during Chinese New Year, he helps the female elders of the family peel shrimp.

The shrimp he peeled were also very nice.

Li Xiaozheng, who has no talent in cooking, can only make up for his dignity in this kind of thing.

Of course, in addition to this, he can also do the work of washing vegetables.

“Why do you use rice-washing water to wash vegetables?”

In the small house of 38 square meters, Mr. Li, who had never passed the kitchen, wore an apron and stood under the faucet, watching Tao Mu pour the rice-washing water into the basin to wash the vegetables. asked curiously.

“It can reduce pesticide residues.” Tao Mu answered patiently.

The sun was just right, Tao Mu took off the jacket of his military training uniform and took a shower by the way. He was wearing home clothes and a dark apron at the moment, standing in the small kitchen. He felt that being tall, clinging to his back, and turning into a curious baby’s partner from time to time was a bit of a hindrance.

“Why don’t you wait in the hall first, I’ll work harder and I’ll be able to have lunch soon.” Tao Mu suggested patiently.

Li Xiaozhen also seemed to notice that his existence was a bit of a hindrance. He was a little embarrassed: “I thought I could help you.”

He looked at Tao Mu with a very serious expression: “At least I can learn.”

Tao Mu: “… “This kind of line for a newcomer in the workplace is really not suitable for Li Xiaoxiang.

“Well, you’d better go out and rest for a while.” Tao Mu glanced at the time. They had a military training at 2:30 in the afternoon, and it was almost 12 o’clock now. If you don’t hurry up, it’s really too late.

…seems to be despised. Li Xiaozheng touched his nose embarrassingly, and exited the kitchen, which was small enough for only one person to turn around. Looking at the layout and furnishings of the room, he asked politely, “Can I visit?”

Tao Mu answered loudly in the kitchen: ” Feel free to visit.”

With the owner’s permission, Li Xiaoxiang was still wandering around in the small and exquisite room.

This is probably the smallest house he has ever seen in his life – the whole house combined is not as big as a bathroom in the Li family’s old house. But the decoration of the house is full of the master’s meticulousness. From the photo wall at the entrance of the entrance to the potted trees on the balcony, there is a fresh and warm atmosphere of life everywhere.

Li Xiaozheng stood in front of the photo wall, watching three or four year old Tao Mu sitting on a wooden horse and smiling at the camera. The appearance of pink and jade carvings was very cute. I couldn’t help but smile: “I also have a similar photo. It’s just that my photo was taken on my first birthday. By the way, where did you take this photo? Maybe we took it in the same photo studio. .”

Tao Mu in the kitchen was silent for a long time before responding, “I don’t know. I don’t have the memory of five years ago.”

Li Xiaozhen was startled when he heard the words.

Tao Mu said, “I heard from the dean that I had a high fever when I was five years old. The fever was very severe. I don’t remember the past.”

“Sorry.” Li Xiaoxiang returned to the kitchen door.

The sun on the top floor is strong. Stunned to the point where some dazzling sunlight poured in from the window, I wished to incorporate the apron-wearing teenager into the halo. Li Xiaohe looked at Tao Mu’s thin and straight back, and suddenly asked, “Then do you want to hear about my childhood?”

Tao Mu was a little stunned, and he looked back at Li Xiaohe. After a long while, he suddenly said with a wicked smile: “Why, did you peep at girls taking baths and pull girls’ pigtails as a ‘hero’ deed when you were young?”

“That’s not true.” Li Xiaochuan put his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned halfway against the kitchen door, and said in the tone of Wang Po selling melons: “I grew up by my grandfather’s side when I was young. My grandfather was very strict, so I When I was young, my personality was also rather dull. Every day in addition to reading books, I read the news and financial reports. I was addicted to studying and couldn’t extricate myself. Later, I went to Stanford to study at university and was busy with the creation of Xiaoxi Capital. Then I was single until now.”

Tao Mu smiled: “No wonder I The first time I saw you, I felt that you were very calm in speaking and doing things. It turned out that you were greatly influenced by the elderly.”

“You want to say that I am old-fashioned.” Li Xiaoxiang chuckled: “My younger brothers and sisters often complain that I can’t keep up with the development of the times. There is a generation gap with my peers. I felt the same way before. But after meeting you, I feel that the generation gap is not a problem. I haven’t met any friends I can talk to, just because fate hasn’t arrived yet.”

Tao Mu picked shrimp The movement of the line paused slightly. Then Li Xiaohe continued to ask, “What about you? You are so handsome and have such a good personality. Are there many girls who like you?”

Tao Mu thought of Li Xiaohe’s growing environment and learning environment – they were very different from ordinary people. , In addition to staying abroad for a long time, many words may be inaccurate. He shouldn’t worry about it.

Thinking of this, Tao Mu smiled slightly: “I’m in the same situation as you. I’m addicted to making money, and I can’t extricate myself.”

“Then we are really like-minded.” Li Xiaoxiang said, seeing Tao Mu pour the stewed boiled fish into a In the big blue and white bowl, he immediately stretched out his hand to take it: “I think your tableware is also very fun.”

“Be careful of being hot.” Tao Mu avoided Li Xiaoqiang’s hand and put the boiled fish on the dining table, smiling. Said : “My grandpa specially went to Liulichang to find someone to order.”

“You also grew up with grandpa?” Li Xiaozheng climbed up the pole: “I really feel that between the two of us, There are so many things in common. No wonder we can talk like this.”

Next, Tao Mu made another dish of braised prawns, a dish of red wine drunk steak, a dish of lion head with crab powder, a dish of cold jellyfish head, and a dish of glutinous rice lotus with sweet-scented osmanthus.

When the dishes were ready, Li Xiaoxiang, who thought he could talk to each other very well, took the initiative to bring the braised prawns to him, put on plastic gloves with his arms and sleeves rolled up, and started peeling the shrimps.

He peeled the shrimp very fast, his slender fingers reacted dexterously, and after a while, he peeled out a white and tender shrimp and put it directly into Tao Mu’s bowl.

Tao Mu was startled again. Li Xiaozheng said with a smile: “Look, I peel shrimps very well, you like to eat shrimps. Do we two have a special tacit understanding?”

Before Tao Mu could speak, Li Xiaozheng said with a wide-eyed smile: “So from now on From now on, I really have to work very hard. You can tell me more about futures trading. Although you don’t have to stay up all night to watch the market like you did before, but that’s how our business is. A little negligence may lead to dozens of The loss of 100 million M gold. Coupled with the problem of jet lag, I may sometimes call you here at three or four in the morning. If I offend you, I hope you forgive me.”

Tao Mu was stunned. Knowing that Li Xiaozheng may still be a little worried about his professional ethics. I am afraid that he will quit his job at that time, or that he cannot be found at the critical moment, or that his attitude will not be so positive after a long time. All in all, various subjective attitudes and negligence are likely to cause mistakes in work, and thus lead to huge losses.

With Li Xiaozheng’s cultivation and character, he is obviously not the kind of person who will talk ugly. Besides, the relationship between him and Li Xiaozheng’s partner, at the beginning of the cooperation, is not suitable for the “ugly talk first” style of work. So after thinking about it, the intimacy of these few days can probably fall on the four words of Li Xian, corporal.

It is no wonder that people can set up a huge Xiaohe Capital at a young age, and in the future, they will be able to invest in high-tech industries with the scale of the richest man. This kind of professionalism that can bend and stretch is really not something ordinary people can have.

Tao Mu consciously grasped Li Xiaozheng’s mind, and suddenly smiled: “You can rest assured about this, even if you call me at 3:30 in the morning every day, I will give you advice full of energy.”

“After all, My life is also in your hands.”

Tao Mu said something jokingly. Li Xiaohe also responded solemnly: “I never worry about this kind of thing. After all, my eyesight is so good, it’s impossible to see the wrong person.”

Tao Mu smiled. As expected of a capitalist who can invest in the richest man in the future, this is a unique boasting skill. He was indeed convinced.

The two of them were just giggling like this, and they were very happy to eat this meal. Moreover, during a meal, both of them felt that they had a lot of tacit understanding with each other, and it was easier to get along with each other. It really does have some meaning.

After the meal, Li Xiaoxiang said goodbye and left. As soon as Tao Mu returned to school, the phone rang like a reminder.

Tao Mu’s heart skipped a beat for some reason. He picked up the phone and heard Gou Rixin’s good brother Daluo urgently say from the receiver, “No, Tao Mu, something happened to Brother Gou.”
