Back to 80: My Literary Life

After a while, Garcia's face slowly returned to calm, and he sat on the sofa and looked at everyone: "Okay. Let's talk about the acquisition."

Fang Minghua and Li Li did not participate in the negotiation. He stayed for a while and then left the office.

After going downstairs, Li Li looked back at the somewhat old building and suddenly sighed: "I suddenly felt sorry for Mr. Garcia. I saw the look in his eyes just now, from hope to disappointment, hey."

"If, as I said, if your novel is published by Mr. Garcia, will it save Ashley Press?" Li Li looked at Fang Minghua again.

"Lili, you are very kind." Fang Minghua's tone was calm:

"Even if I give him this Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, or even the entire series, it can indeed save his company, but it can only save a moment, but it cannot save a lifetime. The Internet era has arrived, A small publishing company like this is not destined to have a great future.”

"Then why do you want to acquire it?" Li Li suddenly discovered a question.

"Save Mr. Garcia from fire and water." Fang Minghua smiled.

Li Li pouted.

She didn't quite believe what Fang Minghua said.

His cousin once told him that Fang Minghua is a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person. He is shrewd in business and will never make a loss-making business.

However, since Fang Minghua didn't want to say anything, she didn't ask further questions.

Just translate the novel for him.

"Let's go home first. I'm going to see my personal financial advisor, Phillips, in the afternoon." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"I have classes in the afternoon and can't accompany you." Li Li said.

"You go about your business."

"Then I'll leave the car to you."

"No, I can fight you, but you have to leave your big brother to me."

"OK."

After eating at home at noon, Fang Minghua looked at the time and went out alone.

His date with Frances was at Merrill Lynch.

Merrill Lynch is located on Pinewood Avenue in the northeast of San Francisco. Fang Minghua rushed over, checked the time, and entered a coffee shop diagonally across the street from the securities company. He sat down at an empty table by the window and ordered a cup of American coffee to drink slowly. stand up.

Half an hour later, the mobile phone rang, and Fang Minghua answered: "Mr. Fang, this is Phillips. I have arrived at the entrance of the lobby of Merrill Lynch Securities Company. Where are you?"

Fang Minghua looked through the window and saw a young man wearing a gray trench coat standing at the door with a suitcase on his phone.

"I'm in the coffee shop opposite you, come in."

"OK!"

Soon, Phillips was in the coffee shop.

"Hey, Phillips, here." Fang Minghua waved to him.

Although I haven't seen him for several years, his appearance has not changed much.

Phillips immediately came over with a smile on his face.

He was in a very happy mood at this time.

Yesterday, the old Mrs. Jones finally listened to her own advice and spent all the US$300,000 in her account, which was also her pension, to buy Dell stocks.

The two parties signed an entrustment contract, and Phillips operated her account and waited for opportunities to sell stocks to maximize the client's interests.

For this reason, Phillips can also receive commission income of 0.1% of the transaction amount after the sell-off.

Now seeing this mysterious Chinese, Phillips felt a little excited and a little grateful.

When I first met this Chinese man, he was just an inconspicuous graduate of Elgin Community College. He could not be compared with prestigious college students such as Harvard and Yale. No investors paid attention to him. He even had problems with the most basic survival. .

But this Chinese man hired him as his financial consultant, and his annual income of US$5,000 allowed him to get through the most difficult moments.

Moreover, he did nothing.

Now, the Chinese found him again, and of course he had to do a good job this time.

They shook hands and Phillips sat across from him.

"What do you want to drink?" Fang Minghua asked.

"Thank you, coffee, no sugar needed."

"OK!"

Fang Minghua waved, and a waiter came over immediately, said a few words and left.

"It's been a hard journey." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"It is an honor to serve you sir."

Fang Minghua smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Mr. Fang, although I don't know the changes in your stock holdings in the past few years, if it is still three stocks: Apple, Microsoft, and Dell."

"The same three types." Fang Minghua interrupted him.

"Then I strongly recommend you sell Apple stock!" Phillips said: "Of these three stocks, it has the worst growth potential."

Phillips is right.

Two days ago, he opened Li Li's computer and logged into the Nasdaq website, only to find that from 1988 to the end of 1995, Apple's stock price only rose from US$58 to US$68. A closer look at Apple's leadership revealed that Jobs was still Not back!

Damn it!

Big loss!

However, Apple pays dividends quite generously and pays dividends every quarter.

"Let's do this, you throw away all the Apple stocks I hold." Fang Minghua made the decision.

Let’s buy it back after the millennium.

"OK! Don't worry, I'm very good at short-term operations. I will sell the stocks at the most appropriate time so that you can get the maximum profit!" Smith said, taking out a document from the briefcase he was carrying.

"This is the power of attorney, in duplicate, please sign." Phillips said and took out a pen and handed it to the other party.

Fang Minghua took it and read it carefully. It clearly stated the rights and obligations of both parties, including the sale period.

Fang Minghua thought about it and filled in a month. If he sold all the Apple stocks he held within one month, the contract agreement would be completed.

Of course, there is also the commission he needs to pay for this operation: 0.1% of the transaction amount.

Finally, both parties signed their names at the back, and the contract was completed.

"Mr. Fang, can I go to the exchange to log in to your account now?" Phillips put his contract into his briefcase and said to Fang Minghua.

"Of course, this is your right according to the agreement." Fang Minghua picked up the coffee cup and drank it slowly.

After the two finished their coffee, they went to Merrill Lynch Securities across the street.

He found a computer and logged in according to the account and password Fang Minghua said. When Phillips saw the earnings of the stock holdings, he was stunned.

108952412 US dollars!

100 million US dollars!

Another billionaire was born!

Phillips suppressed his inner horror and looked carefully.

The number of positions held in each stock has increased significantly compared to seven years ago. Looking at the operation records, all of them were bought one after another without a single sale.

Looking at the returns of each stock, Dell is the best, Microsoft is the second, and Apple is the worst.

Dell was recommended to him by himself!

Thinking of this, Phillips felt an indescribable pride in his heart.
