64: Chapter 63 Xiuer, Tenfold Leverage
"Dad, that's not what you said yesterday."
"That was because I didn't know his background."
"You can't be so snobbish."
"This isn't called being snobbish. I have no choice; everything I do is for this family."
"Get out, don't get in my way."
"Oh... I'm leaving right now."
"Why aren't you leaving yet? The front desk called; he's already come up."
"Um... do you have safety measures? Don't..."
"Dad, did you take the wrong medicine? Get out..."
"Alright, alright, I'm going..."
Just as he reached the door, Lin Feng heard the conversation inside and was stunned by their antics.
That father was really something; he was actually encouraging his daughter to use a honey trap.
Lin Feng didn't have much of a plan. In a world where strength is respected, having no power is understandable, but having no money is truly no different from being trash.
The gourd from last night should have been appraised by now.
Lin Feng knocked on the door as if nothing happened and asked, "Is Manager Liu in?"
The conversation inside stopped abruptly, and footsteps drew closer.
When the door opened, a middle-aged man stood before Lin Feng with a face full of smiles.
"Are you Mr. Lin?"
"Yes, that's me."
"Please, come in. Manager Liu has been waiting for a long time."
Something wasn't right. Wasn't he Liu Yan's father? Why was he acting like a regular employee?
Lin Feng was a bit confused for a moment, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
He didn't know what kind of act this was.
"Mr. Lin, please come in. Let me introduce myself; I am Manager Liu's assistant. If you need anything, feel free to call me at any time."
"Sir, you are quite humorous. I'm here to discuss business with Manager Liu; I shouldn't need to trouble anyone else."
"Manager Liu said that you are an important guest and will have a significant impact on the company's future. I can stand guard at the door for you."
Chairman Liu Xun was spouting nonsense with a straight face, not even batting an eyelid.
"No... this is your company. If I'm inside discussing business, could I really be disturbed?"
"Um... it's like this. What if you and Manager Liu reach a critical point, a very important one, the kind where you're just one step away from closing the deal?"
"What do you mean by 'critical point'?"
"For example, if you could reach an agreement in a split second, and someone came in to bother you at that moment, what would you do?"
"Hehe, sir, you really know how to joke. That would be a disturbance at most, how could it be called harassment? Besides, what's with all the chatter? I'm here to discuss business, not to get a spa treatment."
Um...
Chairman Liu Xun's expression was a bit awkward, but he definitely didn't lose his composure.
He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Mr. Lin is very humorous. Manager Liu loves discussing business with humorous clients. Good luck; I won't disturb you two any longer."
After saying this, the old guy walked out the door.
This move left Lin Feng completely stunned.
It was really selling his daughter for glory. This wasn't surprising, though; who wouldn't want their daughter to latch onto a big shot so the whole family could prosper?
The key was, just based on yesterday's gourd vase, how was he so sure that he was a big shot?
Liu Yan's father was really bold; he wasn't even afraid of pushing his daughter into a pit of fire.
"Lin Feng, hurry up and come in. Don't pay attention to him."
"Oh... Manager Liu, your assistant is quite interesting."
Liu Yan pulled Lin Feng into the office and slammed the door shut.
"Why are you calling me Manager Liu? Call me Yanyan."
Liu Yan pouted, her cheeks flushed red.
Today she was wearing a black shirt, a tight hip-hugging skirt, black stockings, and red-bottomed high heels. It was a completely different style from yesterday.
Yesterday was the aura of youth; today was ultimate temptation.
Looking at her like this, in terms of looks and figure, Liu Yan definitely didn't lose to anyone among the women Lin Feng knew.
Moreover, she had very distinct muscle definition; it seemed she didn't skimp on her daily exercise.
"What are you looking at? I know I look good, but don't be so unbridled."
"Your dad sold you to me, and even told me to 'tremble' a bit."
"He's old and shameless. My dad... wait... how did you know he was my dad?"
"You two look five or six parts similar. He couldn't possibly be your brother, could he?"
Liu Yan rolled her eyes at Lin Feng and suddenly said excitedly, "You know how to appraise treasures?"
"A little bit. Let's talk business."
"Are you always this cold to girls?"
"Not necessarily. Do you want to try my passionate side? Since you're dressed like this, we could play out a scene from 'Tokyo is Not Too Cold'."
...
"Ahem, let's talk business."
Liu Yan quickly changed the subject; after all, she was a girl and had thin skin.
"I'm putting up 100k. Help me with margin trading, ten-fold leverage."
"I can waive the account opening and management fees for you, but the monthly interest of 0.7% cannot be waived. The monthly interest on 900k is quite high, it'll be 6,300 yuan."
"Additionally, the liquidation fee is 0.1% of the margin allocation. This is the minimum threshold, and you only need to pay it if a forced liquidation is triggered."
Lin Feng was quite satisfied. Liu Yan was very sincere; she waived whatever she could and offered whatever discounts she could.
She was running a company, and not a small one at that, not a sole proprietorship where one word could waive everything.
However, Lin Feng didn't care. Given his ability, apart from the monthly interest, he would never have the chance to pay the rest.
"That works. Just do as you said."
"However, I need you to operate according to my instructions; there cannot be any deviation."
"That's no problem. I'll handle your account personally."
Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Lin Feng, playing like this is very risky. With a 10% limit-down, your principal will basically be gone."
"It's fine. It's just 100k; I'm just testing the waters."
Liu Yan crossed her long legs, her large eyes examining Lin Feng with great interest.
"You might be liquidated tomorrow. Are you really okay with that?"
"Can we execute the trade now?"
"Huh? You want to execute the trade right now?"
"The feeling is here. Let's give it a try."
...
This guy, he's too unreliable.
Liu Yan was still a bit doubtful in her heart.
This operation was no different from fooling around.
[Northern Rare Earth (600111)**: 2010 annual growth +211.85%, rising from 4.64 yuan to a high of 20 yuan. November 2nd price: 14.47 yuan. 3 hours later +7.50, with minor fluctuations in between, no risk of liquidation.]
"Time is tight, and I have other things to do. Just place an order for Northern Rare Earth, buy at 14.48 yuan, set the sell price at 15.50, buy 50,000 shares, for a total of 724,000 yuan."
"Lin Feng, you're crazy."
"Don't be nervous. It'll only be a forced liquidation if it hits 10%, and you won't lose anything."
"But..."
"Listen to me, or I'll go cooperate with Wang Jun; his family also has a financial company."
Lin Feng couldn't be bothered with nonsense. He wanted to make money, and with that as the prerequisite, women had to take a backseat.
Liu Yan said irritably, "I tried to advise you, and you're unhappy about it? Fine, buy it then. If it gets liquidated, it's your money anyway."
"Don't worry, it won't be liquidated. One trade will be enough to earn back about a year's worth of interest."
"Keep bragging. Are you a stock god or something?"
"I'm leaving now."
"Wait, Luoluo asked me to tell you that we should all have dinner together tonight."
"I don't have time. Tell her that if she wants to make plans with me, she should contact me herself."
"Hey, Lin Feng..."
Just as Liu Yan stood up, Lin Feng had already opened the door and left.
She didn't chase after him; instead, a smile appeared on her face.
"Daughter, why did Lin Feng leave? Didn't you guys..."
"Dad, I'm going to tell Mom about you going to the foot massage parlor downstairs."
"Ah... don't, daughter, listen to my explanation..."
