Huayu 2007, Cultivation Superstar

Chapter 215 Special Birthday Gift

……

"Copper futures?"

“Why trade copper futures?”

Seeing that Lu Feng chose copper futures, everyone else was a little puzzled.

Lu Feng knew they didn't understand, so he explained directly: "The economy has been developing well in recent years, and industrial copper consumption has been very large. International copper prices have been running high for a long time. But the collapse of Lehman Brothers Bank is bound to cause a global financial crisis. Industrial copper consumption will definitely see a sharp decline in the future."

"Right now, the price of Shanghai copper is over 53000 yuan per ton. I estimate that within six months, it will most likely fall to around 2 yuan."

When trading futures, it is common practice to use 10x leverage.

When using leverage, the most feared thing is volatility. A slight fluctuation will likely lead to a direct liquidation with a high probability.

As for Shanghai copper futures, Lu Feng remembers very clearly that after the National Day in 2008, there were continuous limit downs without any pullback in between.

It plummeted from 5 to around 3, and then, after a while, it finally reached the historical low of 2.

He only needs to eat the middle part, which is the fattest and has no risk of getting stuck in the throat, and he can get 4 times the profit!
For Lu Feng, this market situation is simply perfect!

Don’t think too much, just go all in!
All he had to do was to open short positions at high levels as copper futures prices rose before National Day.

As for what I said to others, about the reduction in industrial use and the impact of the financial crisis leading to the plunge in copper prices, although there is some logic in it, the short-term behavior of the financial market is completely illogical.

Lu Feng relies on his reborn memories to cheat!

"Okay, this is the situation. You can think about it for a few days, but a decision must be made before the 20th."

"We've finished talking about this, I'll excuse myself."

After Lu Feng finished speaking, he left the private room.

There's no point in having dinner with a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people.

He had already made an appointment with Liu Shishi to have dinner in Dongyang City. There was a newly opened high-altitude restaurant with a river view, and he heard that the environment was pretty good.

Liu Shishi has always been very well-behaved and very serious when filming on the set. She never causes trouble for Lu Feng. Lu Feng likes to fall in love with girls like this the most.

There is no need to worry at all.

Unlike Yang Mi, who causes him trouble every day and there are too many unexpected situations.

So during the filming period, even though Yang Mi tried to seduce him in every way, Lu Feng refused to take the bait and relied on his strong willpower to hold on.

Because he was very sure that as long as he was two-timing in the crew, Yang Mi would definitely mess with him.

……

River view restaurant.

Liu Shishi wore a well-fitting light green long dress, and her hair seemed casually draped, but in fact it had been carefully cared for.

She wore a pair of black-framed glasses and pretended to be at home, but she had light makeup on her face.

If you don't look carefully, you would think she went out on a date without makeup.

However, the lighter the makeup, the more it tests your skills, and if you apply it well, you can be considered a god.

She obviously looks more beautiful, but I don’t know where she has become more beautiful.

Lu Feng now has similar doubts.

So, after he sat down, he stared at Liu Shishi for a long time and muttered quietly, "Is it because of the light? I always feel that you are particularly beautiful tonight."

Lu Feng was half confused and half emotional, which made Liu Shishi burst into laughter.

It's this effect.

She spent a long time on this light makeup and even asked the makeup artist on the crew for advice.

Just for Lu Feng's praise, everything is worth it.

After a while.

The waiter started to serve the food.

"Special roast duck, diced beef with black pepper and onion... and a fried pork chop. I ordered it especially for you because I know you like it."

Before coming, Liu Shishi made some research and knew the characteristics of this restaurant.

The other dishes were ok.

Fried pork chops, can Liu Shishi eat this?
Seeing Lu Feng looking at her doubtfully, Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you thinking about? You eat yours, and I eat mine."

After getting to know each other, Lu Feng discovered that Liu Shishi didn't mind what he ate.

As long as he doesn't force Liu Shishi, just eat with him.

Liu Shishi picked up a piece of fried pork chop for him, then wiped her chopsticks with a tissue and picked up a piece of braised mandarin fish for herself.

She said calmly, "I know we have many different habits. You can't eat without meat at every meal, and you like to eat all kinds of fried foods. But I like to eat vegetarian food, tofu, and egg custard."

"You like mung bean cakes, and I like red bean cakes... But it doesn't matter. At worst, we can just go out for dinner later and you order yours and I order mine."

"You don't have to keep putting up with me."

Although the two have different living habits and tastes, Liu Shishi feels that these are all trivial matters and everyone can tolerate each other.

In this world, it is not easy to meet someone who can tolerate you.

She is willing to tolerate everything about Lu Feng.

She could even tolerate the fact that Lu Feng was a little fickle.

After all, after being in the entertainment industry for a few years, Liu Shishi has seen some scenes. Those stars appear to be righteous on the surface, but who knows what they are like behind the scenes?

Others don't say.

Isn’t Hu Ge, her good friend in the company, the same?

At least, Lu Feng is still a very conscientious person.

He knew that he was fooling around outside and felt sorry for Li Xiaoqin, so he took great pains to prepare some snacks for Li Xiaoqin, probably to make up for Li Xiaoqin.

Liu Shishi felt that although she had only known Lu Feng for a year, she was very sure that she understood Lu Feng better than Li Xiaoqin.

"My lady, you are so considerate."

Liu Shishi's gentle offensive, wave after wave, really made Lu Feng unable to resist.

There are actually such simple girls in the entertainment industry?
Faced with Liu Shishi's kindness, Lu Feng had no way to repay her and could only make her a superstar.

In another time and space, Liu Shishi performed well on the small screen, but her performance on the big screen was lackluster.

One reason is that Liu Shishi’s acting skills are a bit poor, especially her lines. She speaks weakly and hollowly.

On the small screen, this kind of lines can be voiced by voice actors.

But it's a bit inappropriate for the big screen.

Unless, this character cries all the way through the movie, then Liu Shishi's voice, which sounds a bit tearful, will not only not become a burden, but will become a tear-jerking point.

"Madam, I discussed the Zhu Xian project with Boss Cai a few days ago. She thinks it's feasible and asked me to ask for your opinion."

For the project of "Zhu Xian", Lu Feng is willing to invest money, Boss Cai will provide manpower and equipment, and then go to various universities to sign a few newcomers to promote them.

The old people lead the new people, this is the consistent pattern of the Tang people.

However, in the past, Boss Cai would absolutely not be willing to share the profit cake with others.

Lu Feng is an exception.

There is no way, Lu Feng can really take Liu Shishi to make a movie together.

"Night Club" will be released next month.

In addition, Lu Feng also has the copyrights of several novels and can make movies at any time. He has also promised to cast Liu Shishi as the heroine of one of the novels.

As long as this movie becomes popular, Liu Shishi’s fashion endorsement will definitely be a hit.

Isn’t this equivalent to giving money to Boss Cai?

And the most important point.

Lehman Brothers Bank really collapsed.

Next, there will be countless opportunities to make a fortune in the market, waiting for everyone to pick up the corpses.

Boss Cai also wanted to have a bite of meat.

However, not everyone can play in the financial market, and Lu Feng has proven his judgment many times.

In this situation, of course she wanted to curry favor with Lu Feng.

Everyone is out there, whether it's in the entertainment industry, the financial industry, or even like Lu Feng who's engaged in food processing, isn't it all about making money?
Since Lu Feng can make money with Boss Cai, Boss Cai can of course also make money with Lu Feng in the film and television industry.

Mutual benefit, that's what a circle is.

If you want to reap the benefits unilaterally, you are treating others as fools.

After a long time, who will play with you?

Lu Feng may still be a little-known figure in the entertainment industry, but he is more successful than some senior executives of companies in the entertainment industry.

Because he is talented, his family is rich, and he has a strong backer.

Moreover, he knows how to make a big cake. As long as you sit at his table, everyone can get a piece of the food.

"I read a little bit of the novel 'Zhu Xian' when I was in school. I was quite impressed by the female character Bi Yao. But I feel that I may not be suitable for playing this role."

When "Zhu Xian" was serialized, Liu Shishi happened to be studying at the Beijing Dance Academy. She had nothing to do, so she borrowed the first half of the novel from a classmate.

In the Qingyun Sect, Bi Yao blocked a fatal sword blow for Zhang Xiaofan under the Zhuxian Sword. Her three souls and seven spirits dissipated, and she relied on the rare treasure [Hehuan Bell] on her body to forcibly detain one soul and fixed it in the bell.

After reading this, Liu Shishi stopped reading.

Because she felt that the next story would definitely be very cliché, with Zhang Xiaofan looking for ways to resurrect Bi Yao.

The facts were just as she expected.

The following story is indeed like this.

The most speechless thing is that at the end, Bi Yao was not resurrected.

Lu Feng actually wanted her to play Bi Yao?

She won't do it!

Because Liu Shishi has read the novel, she guessed that Lu Feng would most likely ask Li Xiaoqin to play the other female lead of "Zhu Xian", Lu Xueqi.

Li Xiaoqin's temperament and appearance are very suitable for the role of Lu Xueqi.

The most important thing is that Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan got together.

But Biyao died.

From another perspective, doesn't this mean that she lost to Li Xiaoqin?

Too bad.

She will definitely not play this role!

"Lu Feng, I don't want to film "Zhu Xian", I want to film Ling Yiyao."

Liu Shishi felt that she was confident in competing with Yang Mi, but if the opponent was Li Xiaoqin, it would be hard to say.

After all, Li Xiaoqin came first.

Lu Feng must feel a little guilty towards Li Xiaoqin.

She is now hanging out with Lu Feng every day, and their relationship is heating up rapidly. She absolutely cannot let Lu Feng feel guilty about Li Xiaoqin.

Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain.

"Alright then. Let's put this project on hold for now."

There are too many ancient idol dramas that are used to promote people, but no matter what, they are not as good as "Chinese Paladin III". After filming "Chinese Paladin III", it is highly likely that Liu Shishi will not be able to use the projects that are generally used to promote people.

If she wants to become a celebrity, the fastest way is to make movies.

"Regarding Ling Yiyao's movie, when 'Night Club' comes out in a couple of days, I'll ask Bald Brother if he knows of a suitable assistant director or director who could come and give me a hand."

It’s too difficult to make a movie by yourself.

The most important thing is that Lu Feng doesn’t have that much time to prepare.

The shooting time of a movie is about three months, but the preparatory work is estimated to take about half a year, and the post-production editing work is another three months.

It will take at least a year to spend on it.

During this long period of time, Lu Feng has been filming idol dramas to earn points, and he has filmed three of them.

The cost-effectiveness of being a director is too low.

Unless someone helps him complete most of the work, he can take out three months to experience life on the crew, be the leading actor, and do the director work part-time.

This is more cost-effective.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Didn't you say that after filming Chinese Paladin III, all of us will be famous. I want to wait until we're famous before taking on more work. That way, the pay will be higher."

Although Liu Shishi looks silly and very simple, she is actually quite smart.

"Besides, didn't you ask me to be the spokesperson for Three Squirrels? With the endorsement fee you give me, I'm not afraid of starving to death."

Liu Shishi felt that the reason why Lu Feng chose the three of them to be the spokespersons was mainly because of her face, and he was thinking of ways to give her money to spend.

But Lu Feng was embarrassed to do it too obviously, for fear that Li Xiaoqin, the queen, would come to him.

If we sign three at once, Li Xiaoqin probably won’t have anything to say.

"My lady, you have such a good attitude."

Lu Feng was very impressed by Liu Shishi's calmness.

The other female stars, seeing that they were becoming popular, were all very anxious, fearing that this fleeting opportunity would slip away from their fingertips.

Liu Shishi was neither hurried nor slow, as if she had calculated that God would not let her down.

"Actually, my mentality isn't always this good."

Liu Shishi glanced at Lu Feng and whispered, "A few days ago, when you returned to the Magic City, I would check the weather forecast for the Magic City every morning when I woke up."

She was not looking at the weather forecast for Shanghai, but was thinking, if it was hot, should she remind Lu Feng not to go out, and if it was raining, should she remind Lu Feng to bring an umbrella?
At this moment, Lu Feng felt particularly warm in his heart after understanding Liu Shishi's subtext.

Check out the account.

Sitting in the elevator, going downstairs.

Lu Feng couldn't help but hold Liu Shishi's hand and whispered in her ear: "Miss Liu Shishi, you are the most beautiful girl in the world. This is a lie."

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes.

If I had known earlier, you were just fooling me with this sentence.

No matter how narcissistic I am, I can never believe that I am the most beautiful girl in the world. This is such a lie.

But the next moment, Lu Feng added: "But in my heart, at this moment, Miss Liu Shishi is the most gentle and my favorite girl in the world. This is the truth."

Liu Shishi was just about to complain about Lu Feng, saying, "You want to make me angry after just having a sweet dinner," but as soon as she turned around, Lu Feng said something so nice.

Her mood was sometimes cloudy with light rain and sometimes sunny.

It made her heart beat fast, and she wanted to pull Lu Feng over and bite him hard to vent the love-hate feeling in her heart.

But when she looked up at the camera in the elevator, she knew there was a high probability that she would be photographed, so Liu Shishi had to give up.

She followed Lu Feng silently to the underground garage. As soon as she got in the car, Liu Shishi couldn't help herself.

He just held Lu Feng's head and kissed him hard.

After kissing for a while, their lips parted.

Liu Shishi sat back down, straightened her messy hair, and asked quietly, "Are you still staying at the Little White Building tonight?"

"I won't stay here today."

Lu Feng shook his head and said as he drove, "I'll take you home first, and then I'll take my dad to stay with me for a few days."

"Oh. Then tell me when you're done with these few days."

Liu Shishi was a little disappointed.

If Lu Feng still lived in the small white building today, she would definitely go upstairs secretly.

No one spoke along the way.

20 minutes later, we returned to the Tangren’s small white building.

Before getting off the bus, Liu Shishi suddenly spoke and whispered quickly in Lu Feng's ear: "The last time we went shopping at Yiwu International Trade City, we saw a tassel bell anklet made by a Persian dancer. Do you remember it?"

"remember."

Lu Feng nodded. He definitely had a deep memory of this thing.

"In addition to the tassel bell anklets, there are also waist chains, bracelets, and chains across the face. I didn't expect that those Middle Eastern headscarf guys, who appear to be the most conservative on the surface, are actually quite playful in private."

Lu Feng had never expected that Yiwu's small commodities would be sold all over the world in this era, and even various private sex toys from the Middle East were doing well.

"When you went to Shanghai, I went to Yiwu and bought a set. I wanted to find some time in the next few days to wear it and dance ballet for you..."

After saying this, Liu Shishi glanced at Lu Feng with a blushing face, then quickly got out of the car.

Lu Feng was left alone in the car, his imagination running wild and he couldn't help himself.

The ballet dancer, the beautiful and charming Liu Shishi, puts on a set of Persian dancer's bells and performs a striptease?
Such a big contrast?
Is this something I can watch for free?

In ancient times, only princes and nobles could enjoy such benefits, right?

It’s a pity that I can’t post this kind of thing and tell others.

Otherwise, at least hundreds of millions of people would envy me!

……

Lu Feng's car stopped for a while in front of the gate of Tangren's small white building.

A few minutes later, Lu Feng saw his father, who was drunk and staggering, and was being helped out by someone.

He knew this would be the result.

That group of people get together to drink and brag.

Anyway, let’s not talk about serious matters.

So, after discussing serious matters, he immediately made an excuse to leave.

"Dad, please sit in the back seat and don't vomit. Otherwise, I'll just give you this car and let you bear the burden of owning a million-dollar luxury car."

Dad was drunk. If it were someone else, Lu Feng would have just left him on the roadside.

But there's nothing I can do, this is my biological father.

He had no choice but to stuff his father into the back seat, then opened the car window to let in some fresh air, mainly to let the smell of alcohol from his father dissipate.

To avoid leaving too strong a smell in the car.

He really couldn't stand the smell.

……

"Sister Zhao, please come downstairs and help."

After arriving at the community, Lu Feng found that his father was asleep.

He was really convinced.

My dad weighs 150 pounds, he definitely can't move it by himself.

There was no other way, Lu Feng could only ask Zhao Ruoyao to come down and help.

When Zhao Ruoyao came down, he called Yang Mi down as well.

Today is Yang Mi’s birthday. She waited for Lu Feng at home for a long time, but Lu Feng never came back.

It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when Lu Feng finally came home.

Yang Mi was almost mad.

But when she heard Lu Feng hurriedly calling Zhao Ruoyao to come downstairs to help, she softened her heart and went downstairs to help.

"Is uncle drunk?"

Seeing that Lu Feng's father was drunk and unconscious, Yang Mi asked with concern, then helped Zhao Ruoyao to carry him into the elevator and take him upstairs.

The three of them struggled for a long time and finally managed to get Lu Feng's father to lie on the bed in the guest room.

Lu Feng placed several washbasins beside the bed. In case his father wanted to vomit in the middle of the night, he would not get up to clean up and let his father vomit in the washbasin.

"Sister Zhao, little money-grubber, thank you."

A drunk person is very heavy. Even if three people are trying to toss one person, they will be exhausted.

Everyone was sweating profusely.

After finishing their work, Zhao Ruoyao and Yang Mi prepared to turn around and go back home.

When going out, Yang Mi was hesitant and looked back every few steps, really wanting Lu Feng to call her, for example, "My dad is drunk and I don't know how to take care of him. Can you help me?"

Although Yang Mi doesn't know how to take care of others, as long as Lu Feng asks, she will definitely stay without saying a word.

"Little money-grubber..."

"To!"

They were almost at the door, and it was about to close when Lu Feng suddenly called Yang Mi. Yang Mi's face immediately lit up with joy, and she became excited.

"Happy birthday."

Lu Feng took out a small gift box from his pocket, put it in Yang Mi's hand, and waved goodbye to her.

Watching the door slowly close.

Yang Mi couldn't help but pout slightly: "What? You've even prepared a gift, but you refused my invitation to the birthday dinner."

It was cute to see Yang Mi complaining about Lu Feng but with a slightly raised corner of her mouth.

Zhao Ruoyao couldn't help but say, "Let's see what the gift is first. The boss is always very generous."

"Ah."

Yang Mi nodded, opened the gift box and took a look.

Wow!
The next second, Yang Mi and Zhao Ruoyao exclaimed together.

“It turned out to be a custom necklace.”

This necklace is very beautiful, especially the pendant, which uses small diamonds to spell out the two English letters YM.

It is the pinyin abbreviation of Yang Mi's name.

"Mimi, the boss is really attentive to you. I think he had it custom-made a month ago."

"Uh-huh."

Yang Mi carefully put the necklace away like a baby, giggled, took Zhao Ruoyao's arm, turned around and went downstairs.

When you are in a good mood, you feel like flying.

——My birthday wish this year is that from today on, all your love will be spent on me only!
