"The mantis has been trapped for most of its body." Chu Xiangbin turned off the faucet and pulled out a disposable cotton towel for wiping his hands. "After all, there are still some conservatives in the board of directors who don't want to take risks. We still need to do some discussion on the issue of exchange rate risk."
Qin Lou didn't care, "It's enough that the Chang family father and son are radicals."
Chu Xiangbin sneered, "Chang Ting is so jealous of you that his eyes are almost red - you didn't see what he looked like after you left. With you as a provocateur, even if he is not a radical, you will push him into the radical group."
"Chang Ting? What is he jealous of me for?" Qin Lou was clueless about this. He turned around and looked at Chu Xiangbin, "Is he jealous that I have a little clam shell?"
"What is a little clam... Never mind, I can guess it. Don't think everyone is like you."
"Then why is he jealous of me?"
"Before you officially took over the Qin Corporation, Chang Ting always boasted that he was young and promising, and the people around him flattered him in the same way. He was always at the top of the various rankings of diamond bachelors or the youngest richest people. Since you appeared, all those limelights have nothing to do with him, not to mention your deeds that later became popular in the industry. He is not only jealous of you, he probably wanted to get rid of you as soon as possible."
Qin Lou turned back halfway through listening, his face full of contempt and disdain, "Boring."
"..." Chu Xiangbin turned his head and looked at him with complicated eyes, "In your eyes, these things are not as interesting as you and Little Bangke, right?"
Qin Lou frowned, "I won't answer questions that are not worth asking. Also, I am the only one who can call you by that name."
Chu Xiangbin: “…”
Chu Xiangbin turned his head away, his tone showing his disdain, "Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Qin Lou then let him go and turned back to the main matter, his tone returning to its casual state.
"What about Chang Jianfeng? Chang Ting is just a puppet. At most, he can have some influence on Chang Jianfeng. Chang Jianfeng is the head of the mantis, directing where this disgusting thing should go."
Chu Xiangbin had already wiped his hands. He threw the discarded cotton towel into the recycling bin and said, "Chang Jianfeng is a combination of a fox and a turtle. He is both cunning and cautious. At present, his attitude is more radical, but I expect that he will try to make one or two small transactions with that product first."
"It doesn't matter. The line is long and we want them to benefit from it in the early stage. We just need to feed them the sweetness."
"..." Chu Xiangbin was silent for a few seconds, then turned around with emotion and looked at Qin Lou, "Are you so confident that your prediction of the market interest rate trend will never go wrong?"
Qin Lou didn't look back, "No."
"Why?"
“Because I know math.”
Chu Xiangbin seemed to be choked, and then he smiled mockingly, "Even a first-grade math teacher in elementary school understands this."
Qin Lou didn't say anything, but turned his head and gave Chu Xiangbin a faint look.
Although there was no sarcasm, contempt or disdain in his expression this time, Chu Xiangbin clearly felt a feeling of being despised that was even stronger than all these emotions added together and squared.
—Even this person is not standing on the same level as him and looking down on him.
Without waiting for Chu Xiangbin to speak, Qin Lou turned back and said, "Someone once said that if you can grasp everything that is happening in this world at this second and convert them into recognizable information, then you can predict everything."
Chu Xiangbin listened and nodded, "But no one can do it."
"Yes, I don't need to know everything." Qin Lou stretched out his hand, drew a circle in the air, and then raised his finger to point to the middle. "As long as I know this circle, I can determine the point in the middle. Every circle, every point."
Chu Xiangbin seemed to understand but not quite.
Qin Lou has never had much patience for creatures other than Song Shu. "Mathematical models and corresponding data can provide all the answers." He gave the simplest and most brutal answer, and then put on an expression of doting and not understanding.
Chu Xiangbin retorted, "Then every outstanding mathematician should be able to become a business genius."
"How do you know they can't?" Qin Lou glanced at him. "They just didn't do it, or they didn't have enough data and information to support it - and this era is different."
Chu Xiangbin thought for a moment and nodded. "What you said makes sense, but I still think it's not that simple. There must be something else besides mathematics."
After Qin Lou fell silent, he turned to Chu Xiangbin and asked, "Are you still testing me?"
“…” Chu Xiangbin paused.
"Even if you think this model is not reliable now, you have already boarded the ship and joined the team. Can you still regret it?"
Chu Xiangbin laughed. "Boss Qin misunderstood. I have no intention of going back on my word. I just need to consider how much strength I should put in the final blow based on your answer. I don't want to leave them a way out, but if the chance of winning is not high, then I still want to leave some room for our ship."
"No need to stay." Qin Lou's eyes turned cold. "I can also tell you that in addition to mathematics, there are indeed markets and situations - but this part can also be data and information that can be calculated. There must be signs before everything happens, and there must be trends before everyone makes a decision - no matter how influential the human heart is in this world, it is no exception. So as long as you can get enough data and information, you can predict everything."
“… … ”
This time Chu Xiangbin's silence lasted for an unusually long time. When he looked up at Qin Lou again, there were already very complicated emotions in his eyes.
"If you believe in what you say and are sure that it can be achieved, then I must admit that your genius ideas will always wander on the border of madness."
Chu Xiangbin paused, then smiled, "Perhaps we should thank Boss Qin for not being idle and bored all these years and coming up with some thoughts like 'I feel life is meaningless, so why don't we all just stop playing'?"
Qin Lou had already worn out his patience. At this moment, he grinned, his eyes were emotionless, cold and icy: "Now that you have the answer - can we continue?"
Chu Xiangbin made a "please" gesture, "If you have anything else to ask, please speak up, Mr. Qin."
Qin Lou's smile faded, "How's the progress on Chan's side?"
“Still trying.”
"What do you think? Let me make it clear first, I don't think it's a good idea for you to make suggestions directly to Chang Ting or Chang Jianfeng."
"Of course. I understand this." Chu Xiangbin shook his head and smiled. "Chang Jianfeng is a suspicious and cautious old fox. I have already given him the tools, but I must not point out the target - especially the hidden collusion between Xiaokai Technology and Qinrui. He will suspect our purpose."
"Um."
"I have made some arrangements at Qinrui, and someone can influence the sales department. When the time is right, they will need a company with this demand to buy this product. I will arrange for them to 'coincidentally' discover the suitability of Xiaokai Technology, and then find a third party to help them sell a favor. They will not doubt the information they have paid a price for, but will only think that it is mostly their own hard work and a small part of luck."
Qin Lou thought for a moment and nodded, "The timing of the first few waves of attempts must be adjusted properly. I have already analyzed the turning points for you. The most important thing is to remember to control the intensity - don't let them eat their fill all at once, but also give them enough sweetness to make them make up their minds."
Chu Xiangbin frowned, "You control such details... Not only do I have to bet that your prediction is accurate, I even have to bet that the turning point is consistent."
Qin Lou sneered, "How can it be accurate if the turning point doesn't match?"
"… "
Just as Qin Lou finished speaking, the places where the two people placed their cell phones vibrated or rang almost at the same time.
Qin Lou raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xiangbin.
"Boss Qin has set up an 'eye' outside?"
"the same as you."
"It's better to be careful just in case."
"… "
After saying the last sentence, the two of them turned inward and away, as if they didn't know each other and had never talked to each other, and left.
Perhaps because their common struggle back then is still buried in history, there has always been a close connection between Qinrui Investment Bank and Xiaokai Technology.
Qinrui took care of everything for Xiaokai from the initial fundraising to the subsequent listing. How the funds flowed in between and how much of the money was unknown to third parties was the money that "disappeared" with the death of Bai Song in that case. Probably only the heads of these two companies knew.
The person in charge of Xiaokai Technology is naturally the chairman and general manager Deng Xiaokai. Like Chang Jianfeng, the culprit who was involved in the initial scam of this case all has a common characteristic of a capitalist: greed.
There is no "enough" in the capital market. The strong only care about "profit swallowing up", while the weak only care about not being swallowed up. When the weak persist until the day they become strong, swallowing up becomes their survival instinct.
—Deng Xiaokai is a typical microcosm of the capital market.
He was not satisfied with simply creating a leading company in the AI industry. Xiaokai Technology conducts a certain amount of interest rate swap transactions every year, and this amount has a tendency to increase year by year.
The amount is not huge, there are gains and losses, but it has never stopped - it is obvious that Deng Xiaokai's ambition in this regard has never been extinguished.
Chu Xiangbin privately speculated that this was more or less due to Qin Lou - from this point of view, Chang Ting and Deng Xiaokai were both "pitiful" people.
Being crushed in terms of ability leaves you with no room to fight back.
Qin Lou and Chu Xiangbin did not have much deviation in their estimates of Qinrui's direction of action. At the board meeting, Chang Ting's active stance and Chang Jianfeng's tacit attitude driven by the huge temptation of interests made the radicals overwhelm the conservatives without any suspense and successfully promote the product that Chu Xiangbin "stole" back.
The speed of implementation was much faster than Chu Xiangbin had imagined - this was also thanks to the "cooperation" of VIO Capital, which showed an attitude of entering the market as quickly as possible, forcing the sales department, which was eager for quick success, to start operations as quickly as possible.
The only twist in the plan was that Xiaokai Technology did not participate in the first and second rounds of purchases, but rather in more minor transactions with other small companies.
But this product soon demonstrated its outstanding performance - the considerable commission compared to the small transaction volume made the sales department excited.
Chang Ting was the first to report the matter to his father Chang Jianfeng.
Chang Jianfeng had originally seen a huge market benefit from this product, and the fact that his estimate had been verified made him excited, but a bigger problem lay ahead - interest rate swap transactions were extremely risky, and under the current market context, most companies were unwilling to get involved, and even if they were interested in buying, they were often small-amount transactions - which had a huge impact on their commissions.
Qinrui now has the tools to make money, and all they lack is investors who trust them enough.
It was at this time that Xiaokai Technology was pushed by a secret force and brought to Chang Jianfeng and his son.
When they discovered how suitable Xiaokai Technology was for this product through the "coincidence" designed by Qin and Chu with great effort, the father and son were impressed by the extremely bright prospects and felt that this was a golden pie in the sky.
The two sides quickly re-established close ties.
Deng Xiaokai naturally had his own considerations. In fact, he had been paying attention to the interest rate swap market, and he had also heard about the new product of Qinrui Investment Bank.
Chang Jianfeng and his son came to them, and the two sides hit it off immediately.
But Deng Xiaokai was still relatively cautious. After confirming that the interest rate forecast of this product was consistent with his own estimate, even though he had the thought in his mind, "What a genius madman, Qin Lou is nothing more than that," he was still extremely careful to only make small purchases.
Then the "sweetness" becomes bigger and bigger.
In just two quarters, millions of profits were recorded, and the efficiency of income was far greater than any swap transaction Deng Xiaokai had made before. The commission amount obtained by Qinrui Investment Bank was also considerable, and their pockets were almost bulged like a balloon.
The only fly in the ointment was that after the end of two quarters, they learned that VIO Capital had obtained a product through a strong industrial company, and both parties had doubled their income in the first two quarters with the help of this product.
As stated in Capital, "Once there is a proper profit, capital will become bold. With just 10% profit, it will be used everywhere; with 20%, it will be rampant; with 50%, it will be adventurous; with 100%, it will be enough to make people not afraid of committing crimes; with 300%, people will trample on all laws in the world for it, and even risk being hanged."
After receiving a very reliable "news", Deng Xiaokai believed that he had determined that the interest rate trend in the next quarter would still be in the direction predicted by the product.
He proposed a terrifying amount to Chang Jianfeng and his son. This huge amount finally involved the mysterious disappearance of the funds that year.
Chang Jianfeng and his son both knew the truth - they had naturally wavered, the risk was too great, and if something went wrong, it would be far more than just a huge loss.
But interests are what can make even the most cautious and smart people completely jealous.
After calculating the most conservative profits and commissions for both parties, Chang Jianfeng and his son and Deng Xiaokai decided on this large transaction.
What they don’t know is:
VIO Capital and its partner companies did not make any investment in the third quarter; and the source of the highly confidential information received by Deng Xiaokai was a hidden clue that Yu Yuntao had buried for many years because he had long been suspicious of the former general manager.
The third quarter was not even halfway through, and the people in charge of Qinrui Investment Bank and Xiaokai Technology were grinning so hard that they could hardly close their mouths.
The interest rate market trend suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.
