Chapter 820 Selling stocks! Sell stocks!
Fang Minghua briefly described the writing background of his book "Mountains and Downs",
"I really appreciate what the German artist Anselm Kiefer said: "I am not nostalgic. I want to remember. The neorealist novels record this period of history through novels.
The venue burst into warm applause.
Fang Minghua’s lecture was extended by one hour beyond the scheduled time, but achieved very good results.
It not only systematically elaborates on the personal writing trend that has been very popular in the past two years, but also gives a clear answer to another type of novel - neorealism:
"I am not nostalgic, I want to remember."< br>
Soon, the content of this lecture appeared in "Tianya" magazine.
It was early June after returning from Lanzhou. Fang Minghua continued his writing and finally completed "Mountains and Downs" at the end of July
The book has approximately 200,000 words and is the first novel to describe a third-tier enterprise.
Naturally, it was handed over to Shengshi Books for publication, and the English version was translated by Li Li and published by Ashleypress.
Finally I can rest.
Xijing City has entered midsummer, which is not conducive to writing.
Besides, the 21st century is less than half a year away, why do you make yourself so nervous in one day?
Li Li also told him some good news.
""The Road Spike" won the French Jules Bataillon Foreign Literature Prize!"
What is this?
Li Li Shuo is the Jules Bataillon Foreign Literature Prize, a famous translated literature award in France. It was founded by French literary critic Laure Guille-Bataillon in 1986 and is specially awarded to foreign literary works with French translations. The prize is €10,000.
"Minghua, your book can actually win the Goncourt Prize for Literature, but the Goncourt Prize is only for novels originally written in French, which is not enough." Li Li added.
Actually, Fang Minghua also knows this.
The important literary awards in many countries are based on creation in the national language. In addition to the Goncourt Prize, this is also true for the British Booker Prize, the American National Book Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
"Minghua, are you going to receive the award? It will be around October. Are you planning a romantic trip to France?" Li Li's tone was full of temptation.
Fang Minghua felt excited: "Then will you accompany me?"
"My courses will be heavier next semester, so I probably won't have time."
"Forget it." Fang Minghua suddenly lost interest.
"Let Demi accept it on your behalf. She is the president of the publishing house that published this book."
He really didn't want to run away, and besides, this award was not an important award.
"One more thing, are you sure you don't want to buy stocks? The U.S. stock market is going up well now. Your capital account already has 60 million US dollars, so just leave it alone?" Li Li finally reminded on the phone road.
Holy shit, shit, shit
Fang Minghua said several times in his mind.
I almost forgot about this!
"Lili, you can't buy it, and I have to clear out all the stocks! You notify Phillips on my behalf that when operating my stock account, I must clear out all the stocks in the account before the end of this year! I I also immediately sent him an email explaining the matter.”
Phillips is Fang Minghua’s personal financial advisor in the United States and can operate his stock account with his authorization.
After hearing the news, Li Li on the other end of the phone was surprised and asked a question:
"Ah? Do you also want to clear out Amazon's stocks?"
This.
Since Amazon went public in 1997, it has conducted two stock splits, on June 2, 1998 and May 1, 1999.
The first time was to split one share into two shares, and the second time was to split one share into three shares. In this way, Fang Minghua owned 34.8 million shares, firmly ranking as the second largest shareholder in the transaction.
Fang Minghua still has feelings for Amazon and wants to be a shareholder.
"This way, keep one-tenth, which is 3 million shares, and sell the rest! I will also make it clear to Phillips in the email."
"Okay then. Minghua, don't you want to withdraw funds from the United States?" Li Li said with a hint of worry in her tone.
Although the book "Road Spike" is very popular in the United States and Europe, the controversy is also fierce.
It is said that some federal congressmen have proposed to block this book, and at the same time require Fang Minghua to investigate himself, including restricting his entry, etc. This has to cause Li Li to worry.
Of course, there is another layer of worry. If Fang Minghua withdraws his funds, he will rarely come to the United States. What will he and his daughter do?
Fang Minghua understood Li Li's thoughts and said softly: "I don't have this idea at the moment. It's just that the U.S. stock market is so hot that I'm a little scared and worried that it will collapse. Don't worry, if I really withdraw the funds, how can I keep them? Are you and Xinxin in the United States? You can go back to China or go to Xiangjiang.”
“Yes, I’ll listen to you.”
After comforting Li Li, Fang Minghua hung up the phone and drank tea to think about the matter.
Although he did not withdraw all the funds, it is not safe to put them all in the United States.
Part of it is withdrawn into the country, and more is placed in the account in Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang is a free port and the flow of funds is very convenient.
But sell the stocks now!
Fang Minghua did not hesitate, immediately went to the second floor to open the computer and sent an email to Phillips, explaining his requirements in detail. Li Li would handle all financial matters as his plenipotentiary representative.
USA, Chicago.
It is now 1:10 noon, Chicago daylight time, and the Nasdaq stock market is briefly closed at noon. Phillips is devouring a hamburger while reviewing the trading.
The stock market is so hot this year. A large number of investors have poured into the stock market, and he, a trader, is very busy.
Just now, an American opened an account in the stock market with 5 million US dollars and entrusted him to operate the account.
Five million US dollars for stock trading, a few years ago, would have been a big customer, someone who would enter the VIP room, but now, he is just an ordinary customer.
Just take it over reluctantly.
After preparing for a while, after signing the entrusted transaction contract, he can operate the other party's account.
At this moment, a mailbox icon in the lower left corner of the screen suddenly flashed, reminding me that I had new mail.
Phillips opened Hotmail, and sure enough he saw a new email. When he clicked to open the email, it turned out that the mysterious Chinese writer had arrived.
Requires all stocks in accounts to be cleared before the end of the year, leaving only 3 million shares of Amazon!
God
Almost cleared out all the stocks, is this Chinese going to withdraw his capital? !
Soon, a woman named Li Li called, claiming to be Fang Minghua's authorized attorney, and asked him to rush to San Francisco as soon as possible to sign the authorization contract.
Phillips knew that Li Li and Fang Minghua's stock account had been operated by this woman when he was not in the United States.
Lover?
Very possible.
But this is the customer's privacy and he has no right to interfere.
He decided to rush to San Francisco now, so he picked up the phone on his desk and called the airline to book a ticket to San Francisco.
It just so happened that there was a United Airlines flight to San Francisco at 2:30 p.m.
Two thirty.
Phillips looked at his watch, it was still too late.
Immediately picked up my briefcase and hurried out of the office. As a result, I almost bumped into a bloated man.
"Mr. Phillips, why are you going? We haven't signed the contract yet." The man asked doubtfully.
Oh, it turned out to be the man with $5 million.
"I'm sorry, I have to rush to San Francisco in time, and I don't have time now." Phillips spoke straightforwardly.
"What?! Your attitude makes me very angry! I want to complain to your manager!" The man yelled in anger.
Phillips ignored him and locked the door and would not leave.
Love to invest or not
If you accept the order from Xia Minghua, the commission will be at least 1.8 million, right? Do you still care about your complaint? ! I don’t want to work here anymore! ”
