Huarong Investment Company is a low-key company, but in-depth investigation will reveal that this investment company is very profitable.

At that time, domestic investment companies could be roughly divided into two types, one was internal investment and the other was external investment. Huarong Company belonged to the second type.

In the 1990s, foreign exchange speculation was the most profitable. Huarong Investment Company seized the opportunity and ate in the foreign exchange market.

An Ran is 36 years old and is a senior investment manager at Huarong Investment Company. He has more than a dozen major clients, and Lu Tianlong is one of them.

In order to compete with Chaoyang Electric for the market, Lu Tianlong needs a large amount of funds to expand the market and open branches.

Inside Huanglong Hotel.

Lu Tianlong invited An Ran alone.

An Ran is petite and dainty, wearing a woolen coat, with short, smart hair and bright eyes. Although she is 36 years old, there is no trace of weather on her face. She seems to be a woman who knows how to take care of herself.

An Ran entered the box and took off her coat. Her waist was very thin, which highlighted her proud figure.

Lu Tianlong invited An Ran to dinner because of investment matters.

"Manager An, I need a large amount of funds recently. Do you think there are any short-term investments that can help me make some money?" Lu Tianlong is in urgent need of money.

An Ran took a sip of tea and said: "Investment requires opportunity. It is difficult to obtain large profits from short-term investment. I will look back and talk about it later."

"Okay, by the way, how much money do I still have in my account?"

"There are still 180 million. What, do you want to withdraw this money? Now that the U.S. currency is appreciating, I think I will get a bigger profit if I sell it after a while. I have done a rough calculation and will wait until next month.

If you withdraw the funds, you will have 200 million funds on your books." An Ran said calmly.

"If it weren't for the competition with Chaoyang Electric for the market, I wouldn't be so anxious. Let's wait until next month. As for the short-term investment, please ask Manager An to take more care of it."

"Don't worry, helping you make money is equivalent to helping yourself make money."

The next day.

Donghai Building.

Huarong Investment Company is here.

Donghai Building was one of the top office buildings in Hangzhou at that time.

Huarong Investment Company directly purchased the 7, 8, and 9 floors of Donghai Building, which employs more than 200 people.

Lin Bufan arrived at the 7th floor.

The receptionist stood up immediately and said with a smile: "Sir, do you need to consult about investment business?"

"Well, do you have an investment manager named An Ran here? I'll look for her." Lin Bufan said.

The receptionist smiled and said: "I can't make the decision, please come with me."

The front desk took Lin Bufan to a living room, and then served tea and fruits.

After a while, a girl in her 20s walked in.

"What do you call sir?"

"Lin Tian!"

"Mr. Lin, how much money are you prepared to invest?"

Lin Bufan waved his hand and said, "I want to find Manager An. Please ask her to come over."

The girl leaned back and said apologetically: "Manager An is a senior investment manager. Only when a certain amount of investment is reached can you get manager-level services."

"Just tell me how much it will cost to ask your manager An to serve me?"

"At least 2 million."

Lin Bufan smiled, "I understand. Go and call Manager An over."

The girl frowned, looked at Lin Bufan, and thought to herself: You look younger than me, but you have such a loud voice. Can you afford 2 million?

When Lin Bufan saw that the girl was not moving, he took out a cash check and slapped it on the table.

The girl took a closer look and was dumbfounded, "One billion..."

This was the first time she saw such a large cash check.

"Mr. Lin, are you kidding me?"

"how you said that?"

"This cash check is fake without looking at it."

"Why is it fake?"

"Hua Xia Bank's cash check. The maximum agreed limit is 100 million, and the cash check has white characters on a yellow background. Your white characters on a gold background are obviously fake."

Lin Bufan smiled and said: "Don't you know that Hua Xia Bank has launched a VIP cash check service these days? If you don't believe it, just call and verify the authenticity."

The girl pouted, "Okay, if it's fake, I'll ask the security guard to invite you to sit in the station."

"Then if it's true, can I invite you to my house?"

"You can take out a cash check of 1 billion. Let alone just sit in your house, I can do anything at your house!" the girl said arrogantly.

In 1999, few people in the country could afford a cash check worth 1 billion.

The girl took the check and started calling Hua Xia Bank.

There is a string of codes underneath the check. This string of codes is Lin Bufan's account key.

"This is indeed a cash check issued by Mr. Lin. It can be exchanged or transferred at our bank." The bank lady at the other end replied.

After hearing this, the girl was speechless, stunned, and looked at Lin Bufan in disbelief.

"Why don't you call Manager An?"

"Yes, yes, I'm going to call you now." The girl ran out as fast as she could. "Manager An, Manager An, a big customer is here."

An Ran heard that a big customer with a billion level had arrived. He ran into the reception room excitedly.

When he saw the young Lin Bufan, he was surprised at first, and then shook hands with Lin Bufan enthusiastically.

The two started chatting.

An Ran introduced several investment plans, but they were all rejected by Lin Bufan.

"Mr. Lin, you don't have to doubt my strength. If you give me 1 billion, I will create 20% profit for you every year." An Ran said with confidence.

Lin Bufan smiled and said, "Manager An, tell me, which investment are you most optimistic about now?"

"It is definitely profitable to speculate on the U.S. currency now. The entire market is now optimistic. I estimate that in the first half of this year, the U.S. currency will continue to show a growth trend." An Ran's analysis was clear-eyed.

The economic aggregate of the United States has always been the largest in the world. It is called the locomotive of the world economy. At the same time, because the international gold price uses rice gold as the unit of measurement, the development of the U.S. economy and the trend of rice gold have an impact on the price of gold.

Tremendous influence.

Investors buy a lot of rice gold, and then buy less gold, and vice versa.

In short, if the rice dollar appreciates, gold will fall. If the rice dollar depreciates, gold will rise.

"Stop it!" Lin Bufan waved his hand to shut up An Ran, who was talking endlessly. "Manager An, I will buy all the 1 billion in gold."

An Ran frowned and wondered: People who come to invest in companies all want investors to help them make money. If you have that ability and determination, why would you come to invest in a company?

"Mr. Lin, gold has been depreciating. If you buy it at this time, you will lose money."

"Buy all gold!" Lin Bufan stood up and said with a smile, "The rice dollar will plummet in three days. Manager An, you have already made plans. Okay, I will leave first."

"Mr. Lin, think twice!"

"Don't think twice, just bring me the contract."

An investment agreement was soon signed, and all 1 billion was purchased in gold.

"Then I'll take the first step!" Lin Bufan smiled and said again when he walked to the door, "Manager An, I think you'd better listen to me and follow me to buy gold. You can make a lot of money, otherwise you will

The loss was huge."

An Ran frowned. She couldn't figure it out. A rich man invested 1 billion in a company and didn't want investors to help him manage it. Instead, he chose the investment by himself. Then why didn't he go to the gold market and buy it himself?

, and there is no need to be charged a commission.
