Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 82 82. Pulling Zhang Guorong’s tiger skin

There is a beef brisket restaurant in Central with a very remote location and a very small shop. The decoration is very old and it does not look like a good restaurant.

But the fragrant smell of beef in the air makes people appetite. Especially when the noodles covered with large pieces of beef brisket are served, Chen Li'an feels that this is the best taste in the world.

Zhang Guorong smiled and greeted the boss, obviously a regular customer here.

Chen Lian looked at the beef brisket noodles in front of him, added a spoonful of hot sauce, stirred it, and couldn't help but eat it.

The three women were very polite, paying attention to their appearance, and ate in small bites. Zhang Guorong also looked slow and leisurely, chatting with passers-by.

Just when Chen Li'an finished one bowl of noodles and was about to order another bowl, Cheng Shufen suddenly appeared in the store.

Zhang Guorong greeted quickly: "Shufen, come and sit down, why did you arrive so late?"

Chen Li'an also put down his chopsticks and greeted Cheng Shufen: "Sister Shufen."

Cheng Shufen nodded at Chen Li'an, then said hello to the women, then sat down and said to Zhang Guorong: "There is a traffic jam on the road."

Soon the boss served two more bowls of noodles, one for each of Chen Li'an and Cheng Shufen.

A few people ate and chatted, and soon the topic shifted to mahjong. Wang Jingwen, the others, and Zhang Guorong talked to each other about winning all the other's money.

Chen Lian didn't have any interest so he didn't interrupt. The main reason was that everyone's wealth was too different and he couldn't interrupt. Chen Lian looked at Cheng Shufen who was also not too cold and asked: "Sister Shufen, do you know anyone who does financial management?"

Cheng Shufen took a small bite of the noodles and asked, "Do you want to invest and manage money?"

"Well, I have this idea. I wonder if Sister Shufen knows anyone who is professional." Chen Li'an nodded and said.

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "How much money do you have?"

Chen Li'an calculated the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars and said: "About 400,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"It's not a small amount. I'll recommend a manager to you." Cheng Shufen said and reminded: "But you still have to be cautious when investing and be careful about losing money."

"Well, I know, please trouble Sister Shufen." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

If you operate the HKD 400,000 well, you should be able to take advantage of the opportunity to double it several times. If you are lucky, you may be able to double it ten times.

Ten minutes later, after dinner, everyone returned to Zhang Guorong’s house to continue playing mahjong.

This time with Cheng Shufen here, Chen Li'an, the dog-headed military advisor, was officially offline and did not go over to join in the fun.

In Leslie Cheung's study, Chen Li'an originally planned to use the computer to check information, but it was only 1994, there was very little information on the Internet, and there was no search engine that Chen Li'an was familiar with. In the end, he could only find some useful information from newspapers and magazines.

Chen Li'an didn't know much about the upcoming financial crisis. He only learned about some of Mexico's history and some information when watching online dramas.

But it should be enough to make a small profit.

Chen Li'an used his meager knowledge of economics to try to understand the financial market information in the newspaper, but gave up completely after about half an hour.

Those densely packed data and trend charts were completely incomprehensible. It was simply overwhelming. Chen Li'an once again felt that his golden finger was a bit narrow.

Why are you so talented in art but so Muggle-like in making money?

Chen Li'an, who is so frustrated, simply won't read these incomprehensible knowledge. He will seek help from professionals tomorrow.

Just remember one thing, Mexico's official currency, the peso, will plummet on the 19th! This led to the occurrence of the financial crisis.

Chen Li'an thought about the movies and TV series he had watched, and came up with a word: short the peso!

Chen Li'an gave up his struggle and quickly calmed down, took a shower and prepared to go to bed.

However, Mahjong Rong had no intention of letting Chen Li'an go. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Qingxia was going home, and Cheng Shufen was going home, which directly resulted in three missing one.

Cheng Shufen went upstairs and knocked on Chen Li'an's door, and then said through the door: "Li'an, Qingxia and I are going home. Three are short of one. You go and fight. You can just go directly to the financial consultant tomorrow. "

Chen Li'an, who had just taken off his clothes and was getting ready for bed, had no choice but to sit up and shout: "Okay, Sister Shufen, be careful on your way back."

"Well, go down quickly, they are urging you." Cheng Shufen's voice came from outside the door, and then she heard footsteps going downstairs.

Chen Li'an had no choice but to fill his seat and play cards with the three gamblers.

After a night of excitement, Chen Li'an had an extra two thousand Hong Kong dollars in his pocket. This time he was very lucky.

Wang Jingwen and Liu Jialing also went home to catch up on their sleep with their full harvest. Mr. Leslie Cheung, the money-giving boy, was very unconvinced and asked them to fight again tonight.

"Not tonight, you can find someone else." Wang Jingwen yawned, pulling on Liu Jialing's sleepy face.

Zhang Guorong was a little depressed. He was the only one who lost after playing all night. However, Chen Li'an did not give him a chance to continue to be upset and took him to drive him to the investment company introduced by Cheng Shufen.

"Can't you go by yourself? I'm so sleepy." Zhang Guorong complained weakly while yawning.

"Who told me I can't drive?" Chen Li'an turned to look at Zhang Guorong and said seriously: "The main thing is to bring a big star with me. People will pay more attention to it. My capital is too small."

"Pull my tiger skin?"

"Well, so you just feel aggrieved. I'll make money later and treat you to a big dinner."

"I'm afraid you'll lose everything!"

"Crow's mouth! Hurry up!"

The two of them were noisy in the car, which dispelled a lot of sleepiness. The car soon arrived at a building in Central.

Chen Li'an put on his sunglasses, turned to look at Zhang Guorong, then waved his hand and said: "Let's go and show you the little financial genius!"

"Tch, let's see how you lose everything!" Leslie Cheung also put on his sunglasses and walked up to Chen Li'an and walked into the building.

after an hour

Downstairs of the building, Chen Li'an walked out listlessly, covering his ears, not wanting to hear Zhang Guorong's endless complaints behind him.

"You don't even understand the most basic financial terms, and yet you dare to call yourself a financial genius!"

"Why do you tell someone that I want to open an account just to let him increase your leverage?"

"If I lose one million, I will sell you to someone who makes Category III movies!"

Chen Li'an put down his hands covering his ears, looked at Zhang Guorong helplessly and said, "Why are you so verbose? It's only one million. If you lose everything, I'll pay you!"

If it weren't for the purpose of adding a little more leverage to his account, Chen Li'an would not have tricked Zhang Guorong into opening an account together. Although he would most likely make money, who could tell what would happen in the end.

Reality is much more magical than fiction.

Zhang Guorong snorted, opened the car door and got in.

Chen Li'an also hurriedly got into the car, sat in the passenger seat and was silent for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked seriously: "Are you serious about what you just said about taking a Level 3 shot?"

"Yeah." Zhang Guorong hummed without taking it seriously and drove the car intently.

"Then can I act with Li Lizhen?"

"???" Zhang Guorong turned to look at Chen Li'an and asked speechlessly: "Are you serious?"

Seeing Zhang Guorong's disdainful eyes, Chen Li'an turned his head and looked out the window as if nothing had happened and muttered: "Didn't you say it first?"

"You really deserve to be an artist!" Zhang Guorong complained while driving.

Chen Li'an replied nonchalantly: "Award after award, artists always maintain strong energy and curiosity."

"Yeah, and shameless."

“There is no shame in dedicating yourself to art.”

Zhang Guorong really admired Chen Li'an's shamelessness. He skipped the topic and asked curiously: "Why did you choose to short the peso? The financial consultant said that Mexico's economic reform is very successful and its cooperation with the United States is also very good."

"Well, do you believe it when I say it's the artist's intuition?"

"Guess whether I believe it or not!"

"Oh, don't worry about it anyway, you will know by the end of the month."
