My Age of Investment

Chapter 831 Leek

The foreign girl came out of the villa, greeted the little dog with a smile, and then she saw the gift box in Xia Jingxing's hand.

"Xiaogou, you are too polite, come here whenever you come, and bring gifts every time, what good things did you bring to your boss this time?"

While talking, the foreign girl went to grab the gift box in Xia Jingxing's hand.

Xia Jingxing hurriedly protected the treasure in his hand.

The foreign girl found that she couldn't pull it, so she raised her eyebrows, "Bring it here!"

Seeing this, Xia Jingxing really didn't dare to compete with the foreign girl, so he had no choice but to let go.

The foreign girl opened the box and took out the comic book inside. She closed the book after flipping through a few pages, and said softly, "It's so ugly, big head and small feet, just like a comic book."

As a Catholic, although the foreign girl has a conservative personality, she is an American girl after all, and she doesn't feel embarrassed after looking at the spring paintings.

In addition, she also knew that the little dog often brought all kinds of new goods to Xia Jingxing.

She turned around and was about to tease the little dog, but found that the little dog was running faster than a rabbit, and said while running, "I'll go in first, boss, take your time to study."

The foreign girl raised the ancient book in her hand, looked at Xia Jingxing, and said jokingly, "Let us study it slowly, little dog."

"Then let's study together."

Xia Jingxing had a thick skin, so he opened the ancient book directly.

"There must be no such comic book in the United States. Let me tell you, this book has a history of at least four hundred years. It is much more interesting than European body paintings. It has rich pictures and texts, and vivid images..."

The foreign girl was really shocked, she didn't expect this kind of painting to be an antique.

"Didn't you say that Chinese people are very traditional and conservative?"

Xia Jingxing shook his head, "That's what the Europeans and Americans deliberately belittled the Chinese. China's culture is brilliant, and it's brilliant in every way."

The two of them were working hard on their research, when suddenly, two Phantom vehicles drove over one after the other in the distance and stopped in front of them.

"Sister~"

As soon as the car door was opened, the chubby girl Jessica ran over with open arms.

She was about to bump into the foreign girl, but Xia Jingxing quickly blocked her, and then he hugged the fat girl.

Xia Jingxing hadn't seen this fat girl for a long time, she had grown a lot taller, and her face was still chubby, he couldn't help pinching it, it was like jelly, full of springiness.

Jessica pushed Xia Jingxing's hand away, and suddenly she saw the comic book in the foreign girl's hand, and grabbed it.

The foreign girl quickly snatched the book back,

Putting it into a gift box, she dared not show this kind of inappropriate thing to a seven-year-old girl.

"I want to read comics."

Jessica struggled in Xia Jingxing's embrace, stretching out two fleshy palms to grab the gift box.

"There are car models and airplane models at home, and they will be all for you to play with later."

Xia Jingxing coaxed and lied to Jessica finally.

"You mustn't lie, Dad said you are a big villain." Jessica said in a childish voice.

Xia Jingxing smiled, is this how the father-in-law arranges himself at home? unacceptable!

After playing around with Jessica for a while, Yang Niu's family also got out of the car.

Babe's father, Little Walsh, supported his grandfather, Old Walsh, and Babe's mother, Caitlin, supported her grandmother, Keira. Standing beside her was a fourteen-year-old and a half-year-old Brady.

All family members are here!

Xia Jingxing and Yang Niu hurried forward to say hello and salute.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very pleasant, and even Little Walsh, who hated Xia Jingxing the most, gave him a good look for the first time.

"Christina, you seem to have gained a lot of weight?"

Grandmother Keira and the foreign girl hugged, and then looked around the foreign girl with their eyes.

Hearing this, the foreign girl gave Xia Jingxing a look, and both of them raised their hearts. Last night, they thought about it all night, wouldn't they be spotted right after they met?

"Really? Maybe it's too thick." The foreign girl has a strong adaptability, and patted the thick sweater on her body with her usual expression.

"Pay attention to keeping fit, don't eat snacks all day like that girl."

Kayla pointed to Jessica, who made a face at her grandmother and rushed through the gate.

Seeing this, a group of people hurriedly followed.

Through the gate, the true face of the villa is presented to the family.

Gardens, fountains, swimming pools... There are many that a luxury house should have.

"This house is not bad!"

Little Walsh glanced around for a few times, then looked at Xia Jingxing, and asked with a smile, "Daren, the price of this house should have increased a lot, right?"

"It's a little bit higher, maybe two to three million dollars." Xia Jingxing replied casually.

Little Walsh raised his chin towards his wife and didn't speak, but his meaning was very clear.

Caitlin deliberately pretended not to see it. She knew that her husband was showing off his vision of investing in real estate to herself, and she had always been very opposed to her husband taking out all the family assets All in real estate.

"This house is only a temporary residence. We will move in when the new house is built."

The foreign girl's words successfully attracted the attention of the whole family.

She smiled and said, "Darren invested 200 million dollars and bought a 50-acre piece of land not far from here, and is building a new residence, including an apron, a zoo, a botanical garden..."

Caitlin was surprised: "50 acres, 200 million US dollars, is this going to build a palace?"

The foreign girl replied with a smile: "That's right, this residence is called "The Palace of Beginning of Spring."

"The Palace of Spring?"

Caitlin always thought the name was weird, but she was still very happy for her daughter.

Although happiness cannot be measured entirely by money, when she thinks that her daughter will live in such a dream home in the future, living like a princess in a fairy tale world, she feels that such a life should be worth it, at least in terms of material life. Ninety-nine point nine ninety-nine percent of... people.

"Where is there a zoo, I want to go to the zoo." Jessica yelled from the side.

The foreign girl patted her younger sister's head and said, "Come and see at my sister's house in the future, no need to buy a ticket."

"With the apron, can I still fly the plane?" Brady also moved closer to his sister.

"Yes, come to my sister's house to fly the plane in the future!"

"I just heard there's a farm?" Grandma Kayla asked.

"Yes, grandma can come and grow some vegetables and fruits you like in the future."

"Can I go fishing?" Old Walsh couldn't sit still, and asked from the side.

...

Xia Jingxing looked at all this with a smile, the Palace of Beginning Spring was given to the foreign girl by him, her family would like to come and stay for a few days, there is no problem at all.

This is the sugar-coated project he discussed with the foreign girl.

Little Walsh has a taste in his heart, is our family not good? To run to someone else's house.

But he didn't say anything sour. That's 200 million US dollars, which can be regarded as a house made of gold.

When it's completed, I'll have to go and have a look... Well, I'll stay for at most one night, just one night.

"Oh my God, is that the Roadster Founders Series?"

Brady saw the car in the garage, as if seeing some new world, he ran over in a hurry.

"Daren, is this your car?" Brady carefully rubbed the hood of the car with his hand.

"Yes, one of them is mine." Xia Jingxing replied.

"Can you let me experience it? I remember you said you were going to give me a Tesla Roadster."

As if afraid that Xia Jingxing would not admit it, Brady kept mumbling: "I told my classmates that when school starts, I will drive a Tesla sports car to school. Now the whole school knows about it..."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "You don't seem to be old enough to get a driver's license?"

Brady was impatient, "I'm going to be sixteen soon, even if I can't drive, my dad can drive me to school in this car."

"You think it's beautiful, but I won't give it to you. Isn't the Ford pickup at home handsome? That's the car a man should drive."

Little Walsh also knew that he was short-handed, so he quickly scolded his son.

Now the whole family seems to be bribed by Daelen, he can't just watch, otherwise he will be even more speechless in front of Daelen in the future.

"I don't care, I just want Tesla." Brady shouted with his neck stuck.

"Then I'll find a truck to take it to you!"

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "But let me declare first, you are not allowed to touch it before you get your driver's license."

Brady was ecstatic, rushed to Xia Jingxing like a gust of wind, and began to fart rainbows: "Dailun, from today onwards, I will be your loyal little brother, I will do whatever you ask me to do..."

Xia Jingxing put his arms around Brady who was only half a head shorter than himself, blinked his eyes, and said in a low voice, "You said this, you have to be responsible for what you said."

"I swear!" Brady said, holding up his hand.

Little Walsh looked at his disappointing son, and he was so angry that he lost all his old face.

Then he saw his little daughter holding a mobile phone, her fingers kept sliding, and asked, "Jessica, what are you playing?"

Jessica ignored her dad, she was having fun playing Fruit Ninja.

Brady saw the mobile phone in his sister's hand and asked Xia Jingxing, "Is this Fuxing mobile phone?"

"Yes, do you want to have it?" Xia Jingxing smiled complacently.

"certainly!"

Brady was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Daren, many people in our school are looking forward to the early arrival of June, and they all want to have a revival phone as soon as possible."

"Oh, then you don't have to wait for June, the Christmas gift I prepared for you is the revival phone."

Xia Jingxing glanced at Yang Niu's other family members, and said with a smile, "Everyone has a share!"

"Thank you so much, Darren!" Caitlin looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile. It turned out that she liked this young man very much, and now she is even more satisfied.

Seeing family members, young or old, being bribed one by one, little Walsh has completely given up resistance. There is no way, Darren has too many treasures in his hands.

After lingering in the yard for a while, Xia Jingxing and Yang Niu led the family into the living room.

As soon as they entered the room, everyone could smell the tangy aroma, and the dining table was already filled with all kinds of delicacies.

"Is this Chinese food?" Walsh took a closer look and asked.

"Yes, for today's luncheon, Darent specially invited the most well-known Chinese chef in San Francisco. Many dishes are exclusive to the ancient Chinese royal family."

Xia Jingxing glanced at the foreign girl and wanted to laugh. He felt that the foreign girl was starting to play and couldn't stop the car.

No one thinks it's outrageous, even a palace worth 200 million dollars has been built, so the palace food is nothing.

At this time, the little dog came over with a smile and greeted the foreign girl's family one by one. He has been to the ranch of the foreign girl's house before, and he is familiar with everyone.

Xia Jingxing invited everyone to take a seat, and then everyone who had already opened their index fingers began to feast.

Seeing 20 or 30 dishes on the big round table, Little Walsh turned the turntable and had to take a bite of each dish, then showed an expression of enjoyment, and finally even he couldn't help saying: "It's really delicious."

Xia Jingxing smiled, he didn't feel that the Chinese food was so authentic, because some dishes were modified according to the taste of Caucasians.

However, today is mainly to entertain the Walsh family, just to satisfy them.

After drinking and eating, Xia Jingxing, Walsh Jr., and Xiaogou went upstairs to the study to drink tea and coffee.

Little Walsh sat on a mahogany chair, drank coffee happily, and said, "Daren, thank you for hosting our family so grandly today."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Mr. Walsh, you are welcome. According to our Chinese customs, we are already a family."

In peacetime, little Walsh would definitely jump out to refute, but he didn't today, he is short-mouthed!

And he is not a piece of wood, he can feel Xia Jingxing's sincerity.

The two husbands and sons-in-law were chatting, and the little dog was watching the fun. He felt that Mr. Walsh had changed so much that he had become so talkative. He had to admire the boss's methods, even such a stubborn old man could deal with it.

"My game company in China has designed and developed a ranch game, which will enter the US market after a while, and the name will be changed to "Walsh Ranch."

Little Walsh looked at Xia Jingxing in surprise, he didn't quite understand what it meant.

Xia Jingxing explained with a smile: "This is an advertisement for Walsh Ranch. If the game is well promoted, there may be tens of millions of game players, and then tens of millions of Americans will know about Walsh Ranch."

Little Walsh's eyes lit up, "Just like advertising on Facebook and YouTube?"

"Yes, and because the game itself promotes the leisure and interesting life of the ranch, the actual promotion effect is even better."

Walsh Jr. smiled and said, "How much should I pay you for advertising?"

"Hey, we are all one family, so don't mention the advertising fee."

Little Walsh shook his head, "How can that work? One size fits one size."

After refusing each other, Walsh finally temporarily accepted Xia Jingxing's advertising gift, but he also made it clear that once he made money, he would pay 20% of the net profit to Xia Jingxing's game company.

Although Xia Jingxing's sugar-coated shells bombarded his family members one by one to the point where they couldn't find North, little Walsh still had his own persistence.

Xia Jingxing smiled lightly, this is where he is, if there is a chance, he will continue to give warmth to the Walsh family.

"Daren, what do you think of the current housing market?" Little Walsh asked suddenly.

"Why do you think of asking this?" Xia Jingxing said.

Walsh Jr. smiled, "I'm just asking casually, nothing else. The house price has been sideways for a while, and I'm wondering, will it go up a bit in the new year?"

Before Xia Jingxing could speak, Xiaogou suddenly said, "It will definitely!"

"Why?" Xia Jingxing and Little Walsh asked in unison.

Xiaogou smiled and said, "Because I have heavily invested in the real estate market."

"You also invested in the housing market?"

As if he had found a confidant, Little Walsh began to chat with the puppy about housing prices.

Xia Jingxing frowned, and then he remembered something, and asked, "Xiaogou, you pledged the equity of Facebook and YouTube some time ago, and all the funds were used to speculate in real estate?"

"yes!"

Xiaogou smiled and said, "I can't use up so much money, so of course I have to invest it."

Xia Jingxing slapped his forehead fiercely, Xiaogou investing in the real estate market at this time is like investing in the fruit army in 1949, and he has lived a good life for a few days.

"Why don't you ask me? Isn't it good for you to invest in my fund?"

Seeing the helpless and regretful expression of the boss, Xiaogou looked a little embarrassed. He really wanted to invest the money in Xia Jingxing, but her girlfriend took him to meet some investment managers, and he invested the money in those people.

"How many suites did you buy?" Xia Jingxing picked up his teacup, ready to drink tea.

"A few hundred sets."

"Cough cough cough..."

Xia Jingxing coughed violently and almost choked on the tea.

This is not over yet, Xiaogou then revealed a more exciting news: "Oh, yes, the investment manager told me that the price of the house is rising too slowly, and they even allocated CDO assets to me."

Xia Jingxing asked in a deep voice, "Just tell me how much money you invested in total?"

"One or two hundred million dollars!" Xiaogou didn't know why the boss's face suddenly became so serious, but he still confessed everything honestly.

"Is it 100 million US dollars? Or 200 million US dollars?" Xia Jingxing continued to ask.

"A $100 million property, a $100 million CDO asset."

Xia Jingxing sighed in his heart, why is this little dog so stupid, he still wants to play with finance, he is afraid that he will be played by finance.

He can't help the little dog completely, he can't do it, and he still counts on the little dog to continue to give him gifts in the future.

"How about you sell all these assets and invest in my new fund?"

The little dog was puzzled and said: "Can it be a while? These investments cannot be withdrawn temporarily."

Little Walsh, who had been listening for so long, couldn't help interjecting: "Daren, Puppy is doing well in investing in the real estate market, why did you tell him to quit?"

Xia Jingxing was considering whether to inform the two of his "judgment".

His layout of the subprime mortgage market has been fully completed, and the withdrawal of the two of them, or the spread of news, will have no effect on him.

The last time Walsh Jr. came to San Francisco to buy a house, because the layout was not completed and Walsh Jr. refused to listen to persuasion, he gave up saving Walsh Jr., and the loss would not be much. He has a way to help Walsh Jr. Ersh earns it back.

But Xiaogou is in a miserable situation. Most of the equity is pledged, and the pledge is still low. Once there is an investment loss, it will be difficult to repay the interest on the loan.

If the interest is not paid, the debt defaults, and the pledged equity may be disposed of by the creditor, and the loss will be even greater.

"You should clear your real estate investment. Vision Capital has invested in several short-selling funds. We are bearish on the property market."

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Jingxing decided to tell the two the truth, because it won't be long before the Vision Capital's direct investment fund is about to surface.

"Bearish on the property market?"

Little Walsh looked stunned, what kind of operation is this?

The little dog was equally surprised and didn't understand the boss's logic.

Both of them have been led astray by others, and their understanding of the housing market is very shallow. The difference is that a leek is thick and a leek is thin.

"Yes, we are firmly bearish on the property market. The fact that housing prices have been sideways for so long is actually a bad signal." Xia Jingxing said.

"Will it be a technical retracement?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at the puppy, you still understand this word, which means that you have gone further and further on the road of leeks.

"The technical retracement of bullshit, this is a signal that house prices are about to collapse..."

Xia Jingxing, Barabara, explained a lot of things, and finally added a sentence: "Believe it or not, Vision Capital has invested billions of dollars. We and you must be wrong."

Xiaogou and Walsh Jr. both began to struggle. On the one hand, they are staunch bulls on housing prices, and on the other hand, they know that Vision Capital is not a junk financial company, and the probability of misjudgment still exists, but it will not be too great.

So who is wrong?

The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment.

"Boss, I believe you. I will start selling assets tomorrow." After some struggles, Xiaogou was the first to make a decision.

Xia Jingxing nodded, then looked at little Walsh, who smiled wryly, "Sell it, you haven't made any money anyway."

Seeing that both of them chose to believe in him, Xia Jingxing felt quite relieved, and it also saved him a lot of drool.

It's just retreating now, I don't know if it's too late?

a bit dangerious!
