The Southeast Asian financial crisis seems to have passed a long time ago, more than a year ago.

But Gu Kun's great business of running away to cash out is like frequent urination and he can't stop urinating. It continues to this day, and there are still some telecommunications and network concept stocks that have not finished.

It can only be said that the virtual rich were so happy for a while that they broke their legs while running around. With tens of billions of dollars of high-level funds, it took them so long to see the dawn of final victory.

But Liang Jinsong had been following Liang Jinsong for so long. Seeing that a new wave of big market was about to start, Gu Kun asked for a complete retreat. Of course he was a little unwilling without a prophet, so he flew to Lanfang in person to persuade him face to face.

The drama of remonstrance.

After talking on the phone for about three hours, towards evening, Liang Jinsong rushed to Gu Kun's plantation in Sibu, Sarawak and met Gu Kun himself.

The other people around Gu Kun also accompanied him.

"It's so hot today that even with air conditioning in the car, it's really hot. No wonder it was so desolate in previous years and no one developed it."

As soon as they met, Liang Jinsong wiped his sweat and complained, just like everyone else who came to see Gu Kun recently.

It is too hot in Borneo in the middle of August. It is directly on the equator and the latitude is zero.

Looking at the thermometer, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration. It’s usually between 35 and 40 degrees, which is not as severe as I imagined.

However, this kind of temperature above 35 degrees is based on a huge amount of evaporation. Next to it is the sea. The huge amount of evaporation of sea water makes the humidity in the air almost saturated, which is even more exaggerated than the humidity in Huinantian in the south of China.

"Try this iced coffee to relieve the heat."

Gu Kun's cat poop coffee is also the first to be produced, and it has not yet been sold for takeout. There is no other company in the world that is hyping this new concept, so of course it needs to be shown off to its own people first.

Liang Jinsong didn't take it seriously. He thought it was an ordinary iced coffee to relieve the heat, and drank the coffee that required several hours of cold brewing in one gulp.

It wasn't until the first sip of coffee slipped into his throat that he was slightly shocked and realized this strange and mellow aroma that was neither sour nor bitter.

Ordinary coffee beans, if roasted lightly, will inevitably be acidic. If roasted darker, the acid will be eliminated, but the bitterness will increase - and it is not the kind of pleasant bitterness, but pure burnt bitterness.

"You don't need to roast it deeply to make it bitter, but you can extract its aroma and remove its acidity. This coffee is not simple. With ice-drip cold brew, it removes the bad things and retains the essence, making it mellow but not greasy. I am also like those Brittany aristocrats

I have been tasting coffee for many years, but this kind of top-quality coffee is the only one I have ever seen - can this coffee be sold? If you want to give it as a gift to a dignitary, it is extraordinary, but I don’t know what kind it is and how it was cultivated.

."

As expected, Liang Jinsong has been in the upper class for decades and has a good appreciation for the quality of luxury goods. Once a connoisseur tastes it, he will realize the excellence of cat poop coffee.

He didn't know that during the light roasting process, the aromatic acid that was originally difficult to remove was used through some special method to remove its acidity and leave only its aroma.

Gu Kun didn't want to let the other party resist, so he put it off for the time being: "I don't plan to sell it this year yet. I have to make some adjustments. However, it's okay to give away a few copies for promotion. As for the specific craftsmanship, when it comes to sales,

It will be made public gradually."

When the concept of cat poop coffee emerged in later generations, it was not openly promoted from the beginning that it was excreted by civet cats after eating high-quality coffee beans of a specific variety. That would have scared away the original enthusiasts.

The promotion of this kind of product must first be tried by a small group of upper-class nobles, who feel that it tastes really good and has a good reputation in a small circle, and then the craftsmanship can be promoted.

In this way, the top customers have already preconceivedly accepted the taste and are willing to try it. The vain middle class below are just trying to follow the trend of the upper class, so they will bite the bullet. Even if they feel disgusted occasionally, when they think about people with higher status than them, they can

It was so sweet that the vain middle class had their teeth knocked out and their blood swallowed.

As for the lowest-ranking leek, he has his own way of doing things and dares to speak out. If he finds it disgusting, he will definitely not support it. From this point of view, Gu Kun can be regarded as doing good deeds. His business in this life will not make any money from the poor at the bottom.

.

The last thing is the money of those who did not harvest the leeks in time and gradually grew into the "anxious middle class".

Originally An'an Fenfen didn't want to achieve a class leap, and he had a lot of life to live on. If he had to be anxious, he would have to send it to the luxury goods tycoon for harvest. He was asking for it.

As for the money of the really rich, it is even more important to make money. They do not pay attention to returns or pretentious investment recovery rates. They are not as meticulous in calculating accounts as the middle class.

Gu Kun can be regarded as a chivalrous and righteous man who robbed the rich and gave to the poor all his life.

Liang Jinsong had no idea how big the game Gu Kun was playing. He just drank the coffee happily, happily bought a few packs of trial packs, and went back to meet his friends in the rich circle of Xiangjiang.

After drinking the coffee, the Guadalquila durian fruit plate was served again for the guests to cool off. Liang Jinsong couldn't help but give another heartfelt praise, praising this red-flesh durian for its freshness and elegance, which is suitable for the restrained taste of Chinese people.

Simple style, suitable for both refined and popular tastes.

While eating durian, Liang Jinsong reported the details of the selling of Internet stocks to Gu Kun.

"The value of the Internet concept stocks we have at hand actually rose in July - at that time, according to your instructions, I spread various rumors that you wanted to short real estate stocks and bet on the long-term trend of housing prices in Xiangjiang.

Speech.

In addition, there is a new wave of land sales by the local authorities this year. The total number of residential land auctioned this year is still more than 300 hectares, and housing prices have dropped by more than 10% compared with last year. Therefore, real estate tycoons like the Li family and the Zheng family are very nervous, lest their real estate companies

Valuations fell too fast and equity pledges were liquidated, so funds were frantically diverted from other businesses to fill the gap and stabilize public confidence in the real estate industry.

At that time, Mr. Li wanted to take the shares of Yingke Digital, Xiangjiang Telecom and other companies they had, find someone to take over the shares in the local area, and use the money in exchange to fill the pitfall of the real estate market. I used some white gloves and roundabout ways to replace it.

By the way, we sold all our real estate stocks.

This series of operations caused our actual cash-out from the real estate sector to drop to US$15 billion. However, another US$8 billion worth of real estate stocks were indirectly replaced by telecommunications network concept stocks with a market value of more than US$10 billion at the time.

In the past month or so, these Internet concept stocks have increased by more than 10%, reaching a market value of nearly US$12 billion.

The Internet concept stocks with a market value of more than 20 billion that we originally had on hand have continued to rise, and the market value is close to 30 billion. Including the newly replaced part, before I started running Internet stocks at the beginning of the month, we had a total of 40 billion US dollars in the online version.

The chips.”

Gu Kun nodded, roughly understanding Liang Jinsong's operation.

This is equivalent to secretly forcing the other party to replace the equity of Sunset Industries with the equity of Sunrise Industries when real estate stocks are being looked down upon but families like the Li family have to save them.

Some people may say: If they had not taken over a considerable part of the equity in Yingke Digital from Mr. Li at that time, would it have been possible for them to be unable to cash out?

This is impossible, because there are only so many funds in the circle. If Liang Jinsong wants to make more money and does not replace it, then when he sells real estate stocks, the strength of the other party's tray will also become smaller, and when Gu Kun's real estate stocks run away

The money that can be exchanged will also be reduced. The purpose of raising these funds is very single, close to earmarked funds, and they are hedged once in and out.

So it's better to do it simply. Anyway, they are exchanged at the same time, so there is no time difference.

After careful calculation, Gu Kun now has a total of 15 billion US dollars in cash (the net remaining after paying off all previous financing), as well as Internet concept stocks with a market value of nearly 40 billion US dollars.

However, when these Internet concept stocks are cashed out, they have to fall again and lose several percent before they can be turned back into cash.

The current differences between Liang Jinsong and Gu Kun mainly focus on how long Internet concept stocks can remain popular, and whether they should run so resolutely now. Liang Jinsong feels that the loss will be too great if he runs too fast. With the current enthusiasm, it is obvious that he can be a little bit more

Come to think of it, if the shipping period is extended to more than half a year, or even a year, it is possible to realize all the money without losing market value.

But Gu Kun knew very well that Mr. Li’s Yingke Digital was just a gimmick. It didn’t have much high-quality net assets. It was all supported by the prestige of the Li family. It was full of sloppy specific projects. Once the Internet bubble burst, it was like taking jujube pills.

.

Therefore, you must run quickly for this part of the chips.

Gu Kun persuaded earnestly: "Don't believe that 'these Internet stocks can be worth 40 billion US dollars', it's all false. Lao Liang, you have been in finance for decades. Ask yourself, Mr. Li's broken Yingke

Digital, you said the total market value is 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 70 billion US dollars. Is this really worth it?

We just took 30% of PCCW Digital's shares, which is worth more than 20 billion US dollars, accounting for half of all our network telecommunications stocks on the Hang Seng. Is this reasonable? People trust them so much. Isn't it too fanatical? Let me say, no

Afraid of selling at a discount, I hope you will sell all these late transactions in three months, and get back 30 billion in cash with a market value of 40 billion. I will remember your great contribution and give you a personal commission of 1% of the cash out amount. Try to help me operate as much as possible.

Be pretty."

"You're willing to run away if 40 billion is sold for 30 billion?" Liang Jinsong had to admire that Gu Kun was really courageous.

There are some things that, after all, the communication on the phone is not very good. You tell the other party sincerely that you are willing to risk everything, but the other party still cannot understand how desperate you are.

Only by facing Gu Kun face to face, looking at Gu Kun's firm and righteous eyes, and experiencing Gu Kun's firm and magnanimous tone, can we know his true determination.

"I sold it for 28 billion, or even 27 billion." Gu Kun was extremely determined. He didn't deserve his money, and he looked down on the extra risk money. Who knows, the Nasdaq only dived at a high level in March 2000.

, now that tens of billions of dollars more funds have been evacuated across the region, how early will it collapse?
