Chapter 237 Time Stagnation
After Yin Rufeng, Yan Ruxue, Hua Yourong, and Hua Zhihui agreed to introduce the plan to lead the snake out of the cave, they began to implement it.
Each of them has a locator on them, and they can be rescued in time if there is any accident. Similarly, Lin Shaoyang and others want to find a location at any time through the positioning system.
In other words, Lin Shaoyang can see Yin Rufeng and the others separated from Hu Lai and the other two. If he really wanted to get a few Chaos Seven Spirit Pearls on Yin Rufeng's body, he should have taken action in the next two days.
Otherwise, when the trial is over, Lin Shaoyang will be much trouble if he wants to deal with Yin Rufeng again.
Whether on the road or in the college, there will be many eyes staring at it. It is almost impossible to get the Chaos Seven Spirits Pearl without realizing it.
In contrast, it is much more convenient during the trial in Kunlun Mountain. If something really happens, it will be easier to deal with.
It is precisely because of this that Yin Rufeng and Yan Ruoxue concluded that Lin Shaoyang would not miss this opportunity.
As for the trial, Yin Rufeng and Yan Ruoxue didn't take it seriously. It doesn't matter whether the grades are good or not.
The same goes for Hua Yourong and Hua Zhihui. They don’t want to argue with others, let alone Hua Zhihui got the Chaos Fire Spirit Pearl. Compared to others, she has gained much better.
They just want to live a stable life without too many luxury and expectations.
The four of them walked and stopped in the mountains, talking and laughing, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Kunlun Mountain.
Yin Rufeng used super perception skills from time to time to detect danger as soon as possible.
After waiting for a long time, he still did not notice Lin Shaoyang's traces.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, just as Yin Rufeng, Yan Ruxue, Hua Yourong, and Hua Zhihui thought Lin Shaoyang would not appear and was about to meet with Hu Lai and others, Yin Rufeng suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Although he did not use super perception at this time, his perception ability was far superior to that of ordinary people. At the critical moment, Yin Rufeng had no time to think about it and immediately used it to repay his kindness.
He didn't learn any defense and dodging skills, and he didn't know where the danger came from. The only thing he could do was earth escape technique or repaid.
Yin Rufeng did not use the earth escape technique. Perhaps he subconsciously did not want to expose it, but chose to repay his favor with his favor.
In a blink of an eye, a scream came from the mountains and forests.
Yan Ruoxue, Hua Yourong, Hua Zhihui looked over when she heard the sound, but she didn't see anyone. They looked at Yin Rufeng at the same time, wondering what was going on.
They didn't know what was going on, and they only realized that something was wrong when they heard the screams.
Yin Rufeng did not go over there to check it rashly. Wouldn't it be bad if this was a trap set by the other party?
He didn't know whether he was one person, a few people, or many people, and it was not a good thing that he was not sure about getting closer rashly.
Yin Rufeng used his super-powerful perception and realized that there was another person in the forest over there. The man was carrying a person in his hand and was quickly going down the mountain.
He sensed the surrounding forests and found nothing unusual, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Ruoxue said in confusion: "Is someone following me the scream just now?"
She thought Yin Rufeng found someone following them, so he took action to hurt the man, but she wondered why he didn't chase him.
"Escaped, they came together, both of them are very strong, they should be Lin Shaoyang Long Aotian."
Yin Rufeng said intimidly, but fortunately the person who attacked him was him. If he had attacked Yan Ruoxue, Hua Yourong and Hua Zhihui would have been injured long ago. Fortunately, the effect of repatriation was stimulated, so he was not injured and the person who attacked him was able to survive. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although he didn't know who the person was injured or who the person who saved the person was, he vaguely felt that their figures coincided with Long Aotian and Lin Shaoyang.
At this time, he would come to attack him. Apart from Long Aotian and Lin Shaoyang, he seemed to be unable to think of anyone else.
Then I thought about it that the man’s target was obviously him, and attacking others was meaningless, and it would only remind him to be more careful.
"Really?"
Hua Yourong hesitated and said, "When did you hurt that person? Why don't I feel at all?"
She didn't see Yin Rufeng taking action, nor did she know that someone was following the mountains and forests. If the man hadn't screamed, Hua Yourong wouldn't have known this.
"Or why call a master?"
Yin Rufeng said calmly: "I was careless and thought they wouldn't come today, so something almost happened."
He did not tell the truth. Once he told it, it would be useless except to make Yan Ruoxue and the others more worried.
If he had used his super perception, the traces of the two people would definitely not be hidden from him. However, Yin Rufeng was careless for a moment and almost made a big mistake.
Through this incident, he was taught a profound lesson.
At any time, you cannot relax your guard easily. If you are not careful, you will be completely finished.
Of course, Yin Rufeng did not have any gains, and finally let him see the power of repaying his favor.
Although he still didn't know how to inspire the effect of repaying, he had some clues in his mind.
Yin Rufeng and the other two quickly met with Hu Lai and returned to the camp together.
Yan Ruoxue found an opportunity to verify from Zhao Chao, wanting to know if the person who was injured in the mountains just now was Long Aotian.
Unexpectedly, while everyone was having supper, Long Aotian and Lin Shaoyang appeared in front of everyone, and neither of them seemed to be injured at all.
Seeing this scene, not only Hua Yourong, Hua Zhihui was puzzled, but even Yan Ruoxue and Yin Rufeng were a little surprised.
After entering the tent to rest, Yin Rufeng appeared in Yan Ruxue's tent on time again.
Yan Ruoxue had just finished chatting with Hua Yourong and Hua Zhihui, and as soon as she returned to the tent, she saw Yin Rufeng.
The two chatted on the same mobile phone, and Yan Ruoxue typed on the mobile phone: In the afternoon, didn’t you hurt that person?
First of all, she didn't see Yin Rufeng taking action. If Yin Rufeng knew that someone was following him and injured him, how could he let the other party escape?
Secondly, Yan Ruoxue had hit Yin Rufeng several times, but she didn't understand what it was meant, and she didn't realize it until today.
Yin Rufeng looked at Yan Ruoxue, nodded slightly, and then he typed: I was careless and thought they would not go today. Fortunately, they were not injured, which made you worry!
Yan Ruoxue immediately smiled and stretched out her slender fingers to write directly on the phone that Yin Rufeng was holding: I thought it was you who was injured, so I didn't take action, otherwise they wouldn't be able to escape.
At that time, she thought Yin Rufeng had injured the other party and controlled the situation, so she did not take action. But she knew that the fact was not the case. By the time Yan Ruoxue understood, it was too late.
Yin Rufeng looked at Yan Ruoxue in surprise and typed quickly: Are you so powerful? I have never seen it before!
He had long wanted to know what Yan Ruoxue had, but there were some things and the time was not ripe, so he didn't ask.
Yan Ruoxue smiled at Yin Rufeng: It’s not amazing, it can stop time for a short time and do anything else.
Her ability is to stop time for a short time. Although the stagnation time is very short, it is enough to change many things.
Yin Rufeng couldn't help but stutter and immediately typed: This moment is so beautiful, can you stop time?
As soon as he finished speaking, he secretly kissed Yan Ruoxue on the face.
This feeling is like taking a photo with someone you like, and when the shutter is about to be pressed, suddenly kissing her.
Yan Ruoxue didn't know this would happen, and Qian Jiao gave him a charming look.
Just as she was about to say that it was not suitable, Yin Rufeng kissed her on her face, and she realized that he wanted to be intimate with her.
Then Yan Ruoxue asked Yin Rufeng why Long Aotian and Lin Shaoyang seemed to be unharmed. Could the people in the mountains and forests be the other ones in the afternoon?
In her opinion, the man in the mountains was very injured and screamed miserably. He should not be cured for a while, unlike Long Aotian and Lin Shaoyang.
Yin Rufeng said that it might be because the person was not seriously injured, or they had good medicine for healing, and of course it was not completely ruled out that it was the possibility of others.
He only knew that the two of them were very strong, especially the person who saved people later appeared, and taking someone through the mountains and forests seemed to be running.
The person who attacked the sneak attack was not simple. Yin Rufeng didn't notice it all the way. He didn't realize it wasn't good until he felt a strong sense of crisis, otherwise he wouldn't have found someone following them.
If Yin Rufeng hadn't been alert and had good luck, he would have been injured long ago.
Yan Ruoxue nodded slightly to express his agreement.
It was getting late, so they entered the game together.
In 1999, Buffett published an article in Fortune magazine, reminding the Internet bubble at that time, and then the "Internet winter" in 2000 occurred; during the financial crisis in 2008, when the market lost confidence in the stock market (especially the financial industry), Buffett chose to significantly increase his holdings in bank stocks at that time.
Later, the US stock market started a long bull era for 11 years: starting from March 6, 2009, as of the end of February when the epidemic broke out in the United States this year, the US S&P 500 index rose by 408%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 357%, and the Nasdaq rose by 669%.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Buffett's investment choice is a weather vane and barometer of the US economy. As the turbulent 2020 is about to end, we may see the future trend of the US economy from the investment choice of the "Stock God".
When the US stock market plummeted in the first quarter of this year, Buffy chose to follow his own principle: "I am greedy when others panic, and I am panic when others are greedy." He reversed the stocks of airlines and oil companies that were severely affected by the epidemic at that time.
However, shortly afterwards, with the overall epidemic prevention and control in the United States, Buffett immediately changed his investment logic and "cut off" all airline stocks (the four major American airlines, namely American Airlines, Delta, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines). At the shareholders' meeting held by Berkshire Hathaway on May 3 this year, Buffett said: "The aviation industry is a very challenging and difficult industry, especially under the current situation. Now, everyone is told not to fly and not to travel anymore. We don't know what trends all businesses will develop in the future."
Later facts proved that as the epidemic broke out in the United States, the U.S. aviation industry suffered an unprecedented blow. Data released by the International Air Transport Association showed that due to the impact of the epidemic, global airline passenger revenue may decrease by US$314 billion in 2020, a year-on-year decrease of 55%. The degree of decline in the U.S. aviation industry is unprecedented. Nicholas Calio, CEO of the U.S. Air Transport Association, said that the number of passengers booked by American airlines fell by nearly 100% year-on-year.
In July, Buffett spent $9.7 billion to buy Dominion Energy, including 7,700 miles of natural gas transportation pipelines, and 9,000 cubic feet of natural gas storage space.
In fact, as early as 2016, Buffett expressed his desire to build his own energy industry. In 2017, Berkshire Hathaway launched a acquisition plan for Oncor Electric Power. However, the market's pursuit of energy stocks at that time led to its high prices, and Buffett did not pursue the trend.
This year, under the dual blow of the epidemic and global oil production, energy companies also face the same fate as aviation companies. However, unlike the pessimistic expectations of the aviation industry, Buffett is willing to continue to invest in the two traditional industries of energy and railways. He has also repeatedly stated that energy and railways are two industries that require a lot of capital, and are also the best choice to fight inflation. Now, Buffett holds the upstream industrial assets of oil exploration and mining rights in his left hand (Oxley Petroleum Company), and the transportation pipelines and storage space in his right hand, as well as the midstream industrial assets of railways. Buffett's energy empire framework has gradually surfaced.
Not only that, in August this year, Buffett made another unexpected decision. The latest documents released by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) show that in the second quarter of this year, Berkshire Hathaway bought nearly 21 million shares of the gold mining company Barrick Gold Corporation, and abandoned the financial stocks it has held since the financial crisis, such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan and other bank stocks.
It is interesting that in 2018, at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders' meeting, Buffett compared the return rate of investment in stocks and gold since 1942, and the return rate of stocks is far higher than that of gold. Buffett therefore advises investors: "It is better to speculate in gold than stocks." So, at this moment, why did Buffett suddenly enter the gold field and buy gold companies?
In fact, Buffett's approach indicates his view on the transformation of the United States' future economy, and on the other hand, it indicates that he has begun to prepare for the future.
In 1999, Buffett published an article in Fortune magazine, pointing out that there are two important variables that affect investment results, namely "interest rate" and "profit". Interest rate and investment are just like gravity is about objects. The higher the interest rate, the lower the return on investment. The profit of a company is another important variable.
On May 7, 2020 local time, Neman Marcus, a 113-year-old high-end department store chain in the United States, filed a bankruptcy protection application.
