Spring Thunder Chapter 0172: The 1982 Wind
October 10th.
Nan Yi sold 24,000 lots of January 1982 gold futures contracts through Mitsui Bank at a price of US$452.3 per ounce. After the sale, there was nothing to do but wait until the end of December and choose a suitable node to buy back the contracts.
The volume of 24,000 lots is not large, so there is basically no possibility of not being able to close the position.
People cannot be tense all the time, sometimes they need to relax. If you are in the mood for a fast-food relationship where you don't have to know each other's names, don't have to take responsibility, and don't have to contact each other after dawn, then you can try going to a bar frequented by people in the financial industry.
The financial industry is notoriously high-pressure, and practitioners often need to release their stress.
Although Hong Kong’s current financial industry is not as developed as it is in later generations, there are already many financial companies in Central.
Happing Bar is a bar located in Central. Its main customers are white-collar workers from the vicinity, most of whom are in the financial industry.
"Give me a bottle of 1982 Lafite." Nan Yi walked to the bar, sat on a high chair and said to the bartender.
"Sorry, we don't have any here."
“You can have this.”
"We really don't, sir."
"Okay then, give me the same glass as this lady's." Nan Yi pointed to the wine glass in the hand of the woman next to him.
The bartender quickly served Nan Yi glass after glass of wine with lemon slices on the walls. Nan Yi took out an object similar to a pen from his body, unscrewed the pen cap, and poured some white crystalline substance from the pen onto the base of his left hand.
"Would you like to try my private collection?"
Nan Yi stretched out his left hand towards the woman and placed it under her eyelids.
The woman looked up at Nan Yi, then lowered her head again, stuck out her tongue and licked and rolled it, then sucked all the crystal-like objects on the base of Nan Yi's left hand into her mouth, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass.
Nan Yi chuckled and poured some more crystals into the palm of his left hand. He raised his left hand, sucked all the crystals into his mouth, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Take the lemon slice off the wine glass and put it in your mouth, and a wonderful taste will immediately spread in your mouth.
“Mediterranean Cyprus flake salt?”
“Isn’t the taste of Cyprus and tequila very special?”
"It's very special, and you are special too. I mean your tricks for picking up girls." The woman put her left cheek on the bar and rubbed the rim of the cup with the index finger of her right hand.
After rubbing it for a while, the woman put her index and middle fingers to the bottom of the cup and dipped each finger in the wine.
He raised his hand, and the two drops of wine gathered on his fingertips under the effect of gravity. "Guess which of the two drops of wine will fall to the ground first. If you guess correctly, I'll go with you."
"It doesn't matter which drop hits the ground first. It doesn't matter whether you follow me or not. What matters is, are your grades in Chinese history good?"
"We were talking about physics, why did you bring up Chinese history?"
"In the 65th chapter of "Strange Events Witnessed in the Past Twenty Years", Wu Jianren of the Qing Dynasty wrote: Because the case was serious and there were many backlogs of cases, they handled... Do you know what they handled?"
"Haha, I haven't read Wu Jianren's book, but I do understand what you want to say. I'm not a worthless stock, I'm a proud and precious Gillian."
"Ahaha, I wonder if the Peninsula Hotel can be considered a golden house in your eyes?"
"Another drink, my Liu Zhi?"
…
"Excuse me, may I ask, what is the compensation standard for bed sheets in your hotel?"
"Sir, our hotel's bed sheets are purchased from the top Italian brand Blue Dragon. If you damage them, you will need to compensate us 1,500 Hong Kong dollars."
"Oh well."
"Boss, where are you going?"
After paying for the bed sheets, Nan Yi went to his car in the parking lot.
"Go back, the two little girls should wake up."
Nan Yi replied and reached into his pocket. A business card fell into his hand . Without even looking at it, he opened the car window and threw it out.
Devin glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Boss, are you a beginner?"
"Almost. Dewen, don't you think it's a little strange for a man and a woman to talk about this?"
"I don't think so."
Dewen said something playful and put a cassette into the car recorder, and an old song "500 Miles" that was very expensive started to play slowly.
“Did I buy this tape?”
"mine."
"Very tasteful."
Nan Yi leaned back in his chair and listened to the music quietly.
…
"Weijun, how long have we been following the Li family?"
"Almost seven months," Xian Weijun replied.
"It is said that Guan Peiyu has an adulterer, but we have been following her for so long and have not seen her having an affair with any man."
"We don't come here every day. Maybe we just had bad luck and missed it." Xian Weijun said, looking embarrassed. "If we can't find anything in the next two days, Jitong, you'll have to follow it by yourself."
"Have you thought about it? Do you really want to join the army?"
"Yeah, if I don't join the army, I don't know what to do. Should I go and set up a stall with my dad?"
"It's so boring to set up a stall. Last time I watched a video of a foreign one. It's so developed out there now. I want to go abroad."
"What can you do abroad?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I want to go to the Kingdom of Qin just like Brother Wei Le."
"How to get out? Can you find a way?"
"No way. I have Brother Le's address in China. I'll write a letter and ask him."
After waiting for a few days, Nan Yi still hadn't received the notice to go to work, so he stayed at home every day thinking about things.
The joke about "1982 Lafite" that Nan Yi made in the bar last time was not a casual act, but he was planning to create a red wine brand to take advantage of the rich people in the mainland.
If the 1982 Lafite represents top-quality red wine internationally, it is a complete joke in China.
The total production of Lafite in 1982 was only 180,000 bottles, but the domestic wealthy people drank at least millions of bottles. No one knows where the difference came from.
Later, perhaps in order to comfort these local tycoons, it was vaguely said that the "1982" of Lafite does not represent the year, but the quality of a red wine. If it reaches a certain quality, it can be called Lafite 1982.
Wow, you’re quite good at having fun!
The rich man born in 1982?
No, that's too direct.
The Supreme Emperor in 1982 or the Supreme Emperor in 1982?
No, it sounds like a local product.
The richest man in 1982?
No, it's too kitsch.
Gentleman of 1982?
No, in the past few years, the main consumer groups generally had a low level of education.
Nan Yi thought of several names, but was not satisfied with any of them.
"The first batch of people who got rich were all bold and adventurous..." Nan Yi stroked his chin and pondered, and suddenly an idea came to him, "Why not call them the Fearless Brave of 1982?"
"Pah, pah, pah, that doesn't sound like the name of a drink."
"What's good about 1982?"
"Forget it, there's no need to spend time on the name, let's just call it 1982 Lafeng."
