Chapter 238 Stocks, Money...
After Song Jiajia came back, she did not hide the truth from her father.
When she got on the bus, she told Li Yuan the truth that she had refused, so that her father would not be confused.
He thought his father would be angry, but unexpectedly, his father remained silent after hearing it.
After about a few minutes, Song Dalong sighed.
"Alas... our family is destined to be a life of hard work..."
Song Jiajia said helplessly: "Dad, it's not that exaggerated. Isn't our family better than most families?"
Song Dalong immediately said, "You haven't participated in the enterprise. Do you know how many years my family has been raising pigs? Twenty years ago, my family raised more than 800 pigs. We couldn't afford to hire people, so we had to work alone. I am different from you. Whether I am after school or on vacation, I can only stay in the pig farm. I either feed the pigs or clean the manure. I smell of pig manure all day long. In the classroom, the teacher only dared to let me sit alone in the corner.
You must have heard the saying, "A family with a fortune of thousands of dollars does not count the hair." This is the case with pig farming. Every few years, there will be a serious disease. The money earned in the past few years will be lost within a year. My family can make a lot of money every year, but have you seen the money saved? The wealth of three generations of my family combined is less than 500 million. If there is another accident, this amount of money will only be enough to pay for half a year. This is also the reason why I insisted on listing without knowing much. If I don't list, my family will never have much money.
Jiajia, if I have a choice, I really don't want to raise pigs. This is not a job for humans! I want to get out of this pit and use the money to do some projects that can guarantee a stable income. I would rather have a stable income of tens of millions a year than live in fear year after year. If I take a nap, I don't know what will happen. Can you understand that feeling?"
Song Jiajia couldn't answer because she rarely went to the pig farm.
It’s not that she dislikes it, but her family doesn’t allow girls to go there, and it’s not a good place.
It can also be seen from this that the family wants to transform and does not want to raise pigs every day.
But transformation is not that easy, and there is not much capital to invest.
Buying a house or a shop in a big city is basically the only thing you can do.
Song Dalong continued, "This is your own choice. Although I am disappointed, you are my daughter after all. I must respect your wishes. As for your marriage, no matter what you choose, I will not interfere. I will only give you some advice from the perspective of a father."
Song Jiajia shed tears.
It is really a happy thing to have a understanding father.
"Dad, I will definitely..."
Before she finished her words, Song Dalong's cell phone rang.
When Song Dalong answered the phone and heard the voice on the other end, he immediately said with a smile, "Mr. Li, hello, hello, Jia Jia is just shy, there is nothing else to say."
"Eat? Okay, sure, no problem. We are still in Qinghe County."
"You are too polite. It is a blessing for Jia Jia to be favored by you... I have already told her that I firmly support Mr. Li in this matter..."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay..."
Song Jiajia looked at her father's shameless look and felt that all the emotion she had just felt wasted.
"Dad, that's not what you just said!"
Song Dalong's face turned serious and he said, "Just now, I thought you had offended Li Yuan. Anyway, there is no chance anymore, I must show off my image as a good father in front of you. But now Li Yuan wants to treat us to a meal, just pretend that I didn't say those words before, and remember to have a good exchange with him later. Our Song family's transformation depends on this opportunity!"
"Dad, do you feel like you're a little shameless?"
Song Dalong smiled and said, "How much is face worth? Back then, the pig farm owed tens of millions of dollars, and your grandfather went from one end of the village to the other before they agreed to postpone the repayment for a few months. What a bullshit face, it's nothing compared to the peace of mind of having money in hand! When the share price of Song's shares goes up, I'll cash out some of the money. You can start a business if you want, or use it as a dowry, anyway, it's more than what you can earn from raising pigs all your life."
What Song Dalong didn't say was that if there were any problems in the pig farm again, he would have to kowtow.
In the past, fundraising was done by taking money from the village and promising to pay a certain amount of interest every year.
Nowadays, when you get money, you get it from some big bosses, and they are not as easy to talk to as the villagers.
Kowtow is useless...
"Okay, okay, we can have dinner, but I have to go home with you in the evening."
"Oh, what era is this? Why are you still so conservative?"
Song Jiajia: “???”
Am I being conservative? Is there something wrong with your thinking?
"Then I won't go!"
"Go, go, go, I'll take you home tonight, okay?"
"Oh, that's fine."
Half an hour later, the two arrived at a fishing village.
The water system in Qinghe County is relatively developed, and fish and shrimp farming is also the main industry here.
However, farmed fish are basically supplied outside, and various restaurants here prefer to use wild fish.
Regardless of whether it is nutritious or not, at least it tastes really good.
As soon as he stepped out of the car, Song Dalong said with emotion: "It's obvious that Mr. Li knows how to live. Only gourmets like to come to this kind of restaurant."
All Song Jiajia responded with was a roll of her eyes.
Li Yuan is not here, what the hell are you trying to flatter here?
After entering the box and waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Yuan finally came over.
Song Dalong greeted him warmly. Although Li Yuan acted very polite, he couldn't be really polite.
After the dishes were served, he just ate a few bites. About half an hour later, he found an excuse to leave, leaving the private room to Song Jiajia and Li Yuan.
After all, he was always there, so the two of them had no chance to talk in private.
Li Yuan was about to have a good chat with Song Dalong about Song’s shares when the meal was almost over, but Song Dalong went out and never came back.
Song Jiajia only has eyes for delicious food, as if she doesn't care about these things at all.
"Where's your dad?"
Li Yuan asked.
"I don't know , but it will definitely be nothing. He is very familiar with this place."
"Didn't he say he wanted to talk to me? Why did he leave before we even said a few words?"
"It's not that he wants to talk to you, but he wants me to talk to you. Um... that's probably what it means. Do you understand?"
"I don't quite understand, could you please explain it to me?"
Song Jiajia said: "How else can I understand? You are the richest man, and you happened to be born in my father's weak spot, so he doesn't even care about his own daughter's emotions."
"Haha, what's your dad's weakness?"
"Stocks, money..."
"How could it be such a coincidence? I am only good at these two. Take your time eating. I will go talk to my father-in-law..."
Song Jiajia's eyes widened immediately, "What father-in-law?"
"It's not yours."
"That's my dad! He's definitely not my father-in-law, but when did he become your father-in-law?"
"It is because you are my father that you can become my father-in-law. Not everyone can be my father-in-law."
"???, do you want to sort out what you just said?"
"I'll go find my father-in-law and sort it out slowly!"
After saying this, Li Yuan put down his chopsticks and walked out of the box.
Song Jiajia has no appetite.
Li Yuan found Song Dalong at the door. Song Dalong was smoking in the cold wind.
"Uncle Song, why don't you go in?"
After hearing the voice, Song Dalong quickly put out his cigarette and said, "I'll be there right away. I just received a call outside, which delayed me a little."
Li Yuan glanced at the teahouse across the street and said, "Then I'll treat Uncle Song to a cup of tea to warm his hands first?"
"How can I ask you to treat me? I will treat you."
Li Yuan was a little confused. Song Dalong was a very cautious person. Why did he go public so rashly last year?
It is difficult for a person to change his or her character, and everything he or she does will reveal his or her character.
After going to the teahouse and ordering a pot of tea, Song Dalong waited until Li Yuan sat down before he dared to sit down halfway.
This is the legendary sitting upright.
"Uncle Song, please don't be polite to me. I have a good relationship with my senior sister. You are like my elder. If you are polite again, I will not be used to it."
Song Dalong smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm always like this."
As they were talking, the tea came.
Song Dalong wanted to pour tea for Li Yuan the first thing he did, but his hand speed was not fast enough.
Li Yuan poured tea for Song Dalong while saying, "Uncle Song, why do you want to list Song's shares? Song's shares have had very good financial reports in the past two years, with hundreds of millions of net profits every year. There is absolutely no need to list them."
This topic successfully diverted Song Dalong from other aspects.
He sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The price of pork has been good in the past two years. In 2016, the average price was 15 yuan. Although it fell briefly in 2017, it rose to 19 yuan in the second half of the year. That's why we were able to make some money in the past two years. But our family has been raising pigs for more than 20 years, and we have experienced pig cycles one after another. Every time the price of pork rises sharply, it is a short-lived happiness for us, followed by several years of pain."
The main reason is that as pork prices rise and profits increase, more breeders will enter the market.
This led to overcapacity in domestic pig production, which lasted for several years and necessitated internal competition.
Pork prices often drop to freezing point at this stage, and even the cost of feed cannot be recovered.
Not to mention the labor costs.
Currently, pork costs 19 yuan per kilogram, and they can make a gross profit of 40%, and a net profit of around 25%.
In a year, you can definitely make a lot of money.
But once entering a downward cycle, selling a pig will result in a loss of three to five hundred yuan, and in one year the profits of the previous two years can be lost.
Song Dalong knows very well that the downward cycle will come at the latest in the second half of 2018, and it is still unknown when it will end.
The year is over? That's not bad, the family can hold on.
After two years? Just borrow money to maintain it. I think I can make it through.
But if it takes three or four years to finish, his whole family will have to starve.
This cycle is not fixed, because most of the pig farms must go bankrupt before it ends and the next cycle can begin.
If everyone holds on, this downward cycle will be particularly long.
After going public, the company will have financing channels and can also cash out through stocks to ensure financial flexibility.
So he was particularly eager and didn't even want to delay it until this year.
Li Yuan said: "Don't think too much. I think the real pork cycle has not yet arrived."
These words were like a shot of adrenaline for Song Dalong.
Li Yuan has not only a financial sense, but also a business sense.
The richest man’s vision is definitely different from his.
"I feel relieved when you say that. I will expand the scale after I return."
"Okay, if you need financing, just give me a call. With my relationship with my senior, I will definitely help you."
Song Dalong said excitedly: "Mr. Li... ahem, um... Li Yuan, where are you and Jia Jia at now?"
Li Yuan said: "I'm not sure either, but the senior should have a crush on me."
Song Dalong: “???”
Why does this feel a little wrong?
Song Jiajia didn't show any affection at all.
But what Li Yuan said made it impossible for him to doubt it.
Li Yuan continued, "I remember I said before that I don't like girls who wear makeup. This time, my senior sister came to see me without makeup. For a girl, it should be difficult to go out without makeup, right?"
Song Dalong understood it in an instant.
No wonder he asked Song Jiajia to dress up nicely, but Song Jiajia refused.
It turns out that she already knew that Li Yuan didn't like girls who wore too much makeup.
You've grasped such details, yet you still dare to say that you don't like Li Yuan?
This girl is very good at saying one thing and thinking another.
"That's for sure. Paying attention to such details shows that she cares about your opinion. Don't worry, I'll take care of Jiajia. She's just a little reserved right now and doesn't like to show it."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Song, we can handle matters like relationships ourselves."
"As the elders, we should give you some guidance to avoid conflicts between you two due to misunderstandings. That would be a pity."
"That's right, I'll trouble you, Uncle Song."
Li Yuan wants to hype up this romance stock. The greater his influence on A-shares, the easier the subsequent operations will be.
A-shares will always be the main battlefield, but now it is too complicated and he can’t control it.
Anyway, he didn't take advantage of Song Jiajia, so everyone just gets what they need.
He has to ensure that his elements are diverse. A love affair can affect the stock market, holding a stake in a company can affect the stock market, and even a word spoken unintentionally can bring a sector to the daily limit for a few days.
His words are as good as his deeds. As long as someone can make money by following him, he will be a weather vane that can crush the northbound funds.
"This is what I should do. I also want Jia Jia to have a good home."
Li Yuan said, "Then I want to take my senior sister out for some shopping in the evening. The county town is still very lively and the New Year atmosphere is strong. I just don't know if it will delay your return home."
Song Dalong waved his hand quickly, "Don't delay, don't delay. We won't go back tonight. We will stay in the county town. You can play as long as you want."
"I was just worried that my senior sister wouldn't be willing to come out. I asked her to come to my house in the afternoon, but she wasn't very happy about it."
"Leave it to me. I guarantee she'll be happy to go out with you tonight."
Song Dalong patted his chest and made a promise.
