Chapter 1325 Meng Chang's Another Way to Make Money

Saturday, November 24th.

Today is a rest day, and Meng Chang has no work at hand. After all, everything is ready for the promotion of "Real Estate Agency Simulator".

But this weekend, instead of staying at home, he went out to meet an old classmate who had just returned from abroad and had not seen him for two years.

The two met at a nearby Moyu Internet Cafe.

"Fan Xiaodong! This way!"

Seeing the old classmate come in, Meng Chang raised his hand to say hello.

Fan Xiaodong is quite tall, wearing a long trench coat, and looks quite British.

When he saw Meng Chang, a smile appeared on his face immediately.

However, after the smile, a surprised expression soon appeared.

After sitting down in the coffee area of ​​Moyu Internet Cafe, Fan Xiaodong was a little puzzled: "Brother, I haven't seen you for two years, how did you become like this?"

"I heard before, didn't you attract investment and start a fast food brand yourself? What's the situation now?"

Fan Xiaodong and Meng Chang are college classmates, and they have a very good relationship.

Moreover, both of them are very smart people, and they are very coherent no matter what they do, and they are well-deserved leaders in the school.

After graduation, their trajectories were completely different. Meng Chang chose to stay in China and joined a large company, preparing to accumulate experience and wait for opportunities to start a business; while Fan Xiaodong went abroad to study and is currently in a financial company in the United States.

In Fan Xiaodong's impression, Meng Chang has always paid great attention to his image, exuding an elite temperament from the inside out.

Moreover, I heard that he founded a fast food brand in China before, and he did a good job, which made Fan Xiaodong very envious.

After all, although he works in a financial company and earns a lot of money, it is still incomparable to the expected income of Meng Chang's successful entrepreneurial success.

But the situation after that, Fan Xiaodong is not very clear.

First, he was very busy with his work, and secondly, Meng Chang silently cut off contact with most of his friends and classmates after his failure to start a business, and he was even more secluded in Tengda, so the situation between the two was not shared in time.

It wasn't until Fan Xiaodong was going to return to China that he contacted Meng Chang and deliberately made a detour to Jingzhou to meet.

After the meeting, Fan Xiaodong was very surprised, what happened to Meng Chang?

Although the spirit is still very full, it has obviously become a lot less slovenly, and it is no longer as delicate as before.

And in terms of temperament, the feeling seems to have changed.

Regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, Meng Chang has no reason to be in the current state.

According to Fan Xiaodong's understanding of Meng Chang, if the business is successful, then Meng Chang will definitely be a big fan, and his tail can be lifted to the sky; if the business fails, then Meng Chang is most likely to be disheartened and helpless.

But now in this state... I feel a lot more peaceful and indifferent.

What exactly is going on?

Meng Chang smiled, called the waiter over to order two cups of coffee, and then said, "The cold noodle girl failed, and I took on a debt. However, there is also a good thing."

Fan Xiaodong was stunned for a moment: "Can there be good things? What good things?"

He was surprised. After all, he also knew the risks of starting a business in China. Meng Chang said that he was in debt, which is definitely not a small number.

Meng Chang paused and said, "I met an expert."

"Tengda's President Pei knows that although I started my business in his hands, he also taught me a lot of things. I think I'm about to graduate."

"When I leave school, let alone repaying these debts, I will definitely make a comeback!"

Fan Xiaodong was silent for a moment: "...It's good that you can maintain such an optimistic attitude."

"But I still don't quite understand. Why did you want to thank him for being tricked by Pei to start your business? You said you learned something from him?"

"You sound like PUA or Stockholm syndrome..."

Meng Chang's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't talk nonsense, do I look like that kind of stupid person?"

"Whether it's brainwashing or learning the real thing, I can tell for myself."

"Forget it, it's too complicated here, what I've learned is too profound, and I can't explain it to you in a few words."

"Let's talk about you, how has your work been recently?"

Fan Xiaodong took a sip of coffee and said, "That's it. I'm floating abroad, and I won't starve to death. The income is okay, but in the environment I live in... I can't earn enough."

"In my spare time, I occasionally play rice stocks by myself. Anyway, I can make some money."

From Meng Chang's understanding of Fan Xiaodong, he knew that he must be humble, and his so-called small money may be the salary of some working-class people for several years.

But Meng Chang wouldn't feel that Fan Xiaodong was pretending to be forceful. After all, they were both such people. After earning a lot, they became less sensitive to the concept of the order of magnitude of money. Maybe the money was really just small money in Fan Xiaodong's eyes.

Speaking of Migu, Meng Chang suddenly thought of one thing: "Hey, by the way, is Zhujia Group listed on Migu?"

Fan Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, the recent rally is not bad, do you want to buy some? I can help."

Meng Chang immediately shook his head: "Buy? Of course you can't buy it. If you can trust me, my suggestion is to go short."

Fan Xiaodong was stunned: "Short? Zhujia Group just released its third-quarter financial report at the beginning of this month. The development is good, and various data including market share have also increased slightly."

"In terms of the current market share of the home-based group, it is too early to say that other similar companies will pose a threat to it."

"The turmoil of the 'formaldehyde room' has basically subsided. It's not really hurting the bones. The stock price that fell earlier has also started to rise. It seems that there will not be any major public opinion events in the near future, but their recent publicity Created a good heat."

"It looks like it's going to go up a little, how can you go short?"

The so-called short selling is simply "buy down". The stock will make money when it falls, and lose money when it rises.

And the risk of shorting is extremely high, and theoretically the loss is unlimited.

In this case, shorting the home group, is it that you think you have a long life?

Meng Chang took a sip of coffee: "It's hard to explain the specific situation in a few words."

"I can only say that this project I am doing now may directly cause a devastating blow to the reputation of the Zhujia Group and create a huge public opinion crisis against them."

"Of course, it's hard to say to what extent it can be done. After all, the Zhujia Group has a big business, and it's hard to hurt. But I have a certain degree of confidence that this time the storm will not be small."

Fan Xiaodong blinked: "What project are you doing now?"

"How much funding does it take to create a huge public opinion crisis for the Zhujia Group?"

"What did you get hold of them?"

Meng Chang shook his head: "There is no direct reason for their violation of the law, and there is no major scandal."

"I can't disclose the funding, I can only say a lot."

"But that's not the point."

"There is a smarter way to attract enough attention and create a crisis of public opinion."

"I can't explain it to you in detail now, and it's hard to explain it clearly. All I can say is, if you believe me, you can consider taking an unimportant sum of money to short the house group. If you lose, don't blame me. If you earn, please invite me. Just have a meal."

"I just don't have any money at the moment. If I have money, I will definitely spend all my net worth to go short."

Fan Xiaodong couldn't believe it: "So confident?"

Meng Chang nodded: "That's right."

"Where did your confidence come from?" Fan Xiaodong asked again.

Meng Chang said firmly: "It comes from a higher-dimensional perspective."

"On the surface, the Zhujia Group is a behemoth, but in fact, it has an Achilles' heel from its roots, but ordinary people can't catch it or have the ability to catch it."

"Because they either don't have that voice and influence, or they don't have a clean ass."

"But Mr. Pei happens to have this ability and has this idea."

"This is a method that only Tenda can use, and I happen to be an executor."

Fan Xiaodong didn't ask any more questions and fell into a brief silence.

After a while, he nodded: "Okay! Then I'll take out a sum of money to go short, I believe you!"

"I don't blame you if you lose at that time. If you make a profit, I will share the money with you!"

"We don't need to see outsiders in our relationship. As long as there is such accurate news in the future, you can tell me, wouldn't it be good for us to make money from these big companies together?"

If someone told Fan Xiaodong that they were shorting the Zhujia Group, he would definitely not believe it.

But he and Meng Chang are old classmates after all, they trust each other very much, and they also know that Meng Chang is very smart. Although what he does sometimes takes risks, the risks and benefits are proportional.

There must be a reason for saying so confidently this time.

And people like him have a much stronger thirst for opportunities than ordinary people.

Meng Chang nodded, but didn't say much. Anyway, by the end of this month, it will almost be known.

Fan Xiaodong asked again: "Hey, you said that Boss Pei had this idea, and you happen to be an executor? Then, shouldn't Boss Pei be short already?"

Meng Chang didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he was stunned and said, "Then I don't know."

"However, I don't seem to have heard that President Pei has touched the stock market. If he wants to, he can open a securities or fund company by himself. I believe there will be many people rushing to give him money."

"It may be that the rank is too high, so these low-level tricks are not uncommon."

"He uses the money to make games, make movies, make real businesses, or make investments, which are not necessarily less profitable than playing the stock market, and there is no risk, because his success rate in doing these is too high."

Fan Xiaodong nodded: "That's right, if entrepreneurship and venture capital can be 100% successful, who would play the stock market, and only poor people like us would point to the stock market to make some quick money."

"Then, when will the crisis of public opinion you mentioned break out?"

Meng Chang thought for a while: "At the end of this month or the beginning of next month, it is difficult to pinpoint a specific date, but it will not be later than the 15th of next month."

Because there is still a certain period of public opinion fermentation after the release of "Real Estate Agency Simulator", Meng Chang himself is not sure how long this time will be. If it is fast, it may explode in two or three days, and if it is slow, it may take a week.

But anyway, it won't be too long.

Fan Xiaodong hurriedly said, "It's accurate enough! Then I'll make arrangements right away!"
