Hello 1983

Merton said it firmly, but felt a little guilty in his heart.

Of course he is familiar with Liu Qingshan, knowing that this kid made his fortune by relying on the stock market.

In the big stock market crash that year, he almost lost all his money, and he still has lingering fears.

Because of this, he was jealous of Liu Qingshan in his heart. As for Professor Peter, it was just an excuse.

Liu Qingshan was still not in a hurry: "I just like challenges. How about it, Professor Merton, are you afraid?"

The corners of Merton's eyes also twitched twice. On such an eye-catching occasion, if he was cowardly, he would probably be the subject of ridicule in tomorrow's newspaper.

In this situation, he couldn't allow him to back down.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Qingshan was able to force the other party to submit.

"Okay, let's invest 100 million US dollars each, but we need to find a third-party agency company so that no one can do anything."

Professor Merton gritted his teeth and finally chose to fight.

Liu Qingshan shook his head with a smile: "Professor, a well-known scholar like you can't only have such a small fortune, no matter what, you have to spend 1000 million US dollars to be interesting."

Liu Qingshan's intention is obvious: just 100 million, I won't play with you.

He didn't know the background of this old guy, so he should have a few million.

Merton's net worth is about 500 million, so the bet of 1000 million US dollars is a bit beyond his ability, and he hesitated for a while.

"Old friend, we are all very old, it's better not to play such an exciting game."

Merton's partner, Professor William, quickly tried to persuade him.

Merton is still hesitating. If he leaves now, he will be a bit embarrassed.

Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "Professor, forget it, as a junior, I don't want any accidents for you."

"Haha, when you get older, you should learn from the tortoise basking in the sun on the beach, so as to live up to your old age."

These words are bad enough, Liu Qingshan simply retreated, even if the bet failed, he still wanted to ruin the old guy's reputation.

Provocation again and again, humiliating my compatriots, humiliating my country, how can I do it without paying the price?

Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, Merton felt a surge of anger rushing up, and immediately blurted out: "Okay, bet, you bet, young man, you must learn some lessons!"

Liu Qingshan couldn't wait for it, and stretched out his palm: "It happens that there are two old seniors who have won economics prizes, and they are the most suitable witnesses."

Not to be outdone, Merton extended a slap and slapped Liu Qingshan, making a bet.

Leader Geng was so nervous at this moment, he quickly grabbed Liu Qingshan: "No way, we can't get 1000 million US dollars?"

Merton asked the translator, and suddenly felt that he had the upper hand: "Haha, are young people these days so timid?"

At this time, a crisp voice came over: "Brother Mountain, I have money, I'll give it to you!"

Liu Qingshan looked down, it turned out to be Little William, with his little hand in his pocket, he actually took out a few pounds and put them in Liu Qingshan's hand.

Following their example, the other little princes and princesses also started to pay, and if they didn't have anything, they asked their brothers and sisters for it.

Soon, Liu Qingshan was holding a lot of banknotes from various countries.

"Hahaha!" Merton let out a piercing laugh, "Mr. Mountain, is this a charity fundraiser? You actually cheated children out of money."

The little princess with broken teeth said childishly: "You are a bad grandpa!"

The other little guys also stared at Merton angrily. Although children's ability to distinguish right from wrong is not strong, their senses are very keen.

They all intuitively felt that this old man was a big villain.

Liu Qingshan also showed a smile on his face: "No, these are my allies, we will unite and fight you together."

"Fight!" The kids shouted in unison, and they were actually a bit imposing.

Liu Qingshan put the money away with a smile: "When we win, you will have a share."

The little ones also extended their small hands with a smile, and high-fived Liu Qingshan one by one.

This scene shocked the reporters present: big news!

Of course the reporters recognized that these little dolls were all extraordinary, they all had the qualifications to be heirs to the throne, and some of them were very close to the front.

These little princes and princesses actually fought side by side with Mr. Mountain. Oh, this news can attract the attention of all the people in Europe.

Merton also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and quickly asked the reporters around him in a low voice. After he figured out the situation, his expression immediately changed: This seems to be a bit of a play?

Fortunately, he is not from Europa's side, otherwise, offending so many princes and princesses at once, it is estimated that he will have a bad life in the future.

At this time, Grace waved to the audience around her: "This is a very interesting bet. I think it will become an anecdote in the future, but for now, it won't affect everyone's meal."

The people around also nodded, and they were willing to obey a princess's words.

The crowd dispersed quickly, only the soothing music echoed in the restaurant.

Merton also chose to leave. At this moment, his heart was a little heavy.

Grace turned to Liu Qingshan with a smile: "Boss, you have brought them all down."

Without waiting for Liu Qingshan to speak, Little William raised his fist: "No, we are just, let's fight the bad guys together!"

"Okay, you are all little warriors." Concubine Dai also had a smile on her face. Anyway, these little guys participated, and the adults didn't join in.

No matter how strict the court rules are, no one will blame these little princes and princesses, children, how can anyone not be naughty?

"Let's keep eating, your appetite will improve, and they will all be wiped out!" Liu Qingshan happily told Writer Lu and the others.

Everyone smiled and nodded, only leader Geng was a little worried: "Qingshan, so much money..."

Writer Lu comforted: "Don't worry, for Qingshan, this is all small money."

Small money?That's 1000 million, or US dollars!

If Leader Geng didn't understand, he wouldn't even be able to eat. Seeing this posture, Gao Wenxue also advised him:

"Leader, don't worry, Qingshan still has billions of dollars in assets."

Leader Geng looked at Liu Qingshan in astonishment, and Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then I can rest assured!"

Only then did Leader Geng understand, he picked up another piece of bread, tore a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth, but he swallowed a little too hard, and he choked all of a sudden, his face turned red and his neck was thick.

Giggling, the little princess Huoyazi looked amused and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Liu Qingshan pointed to his mouth again, the little guy stuck out his tongue, then stretched out his little hand to cover his mouth.

The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth also turned upwards: This can be regarded as friendship, and it's the kind of fighting side by side.

Chapter 915 Cherish the present moment forever

The past few days of the Nobel Prize Ceremony belonged to the time of the Nobel Prize, and the newspapers were full of reports on the winners.

The most reported ones are the literature award winners, winners from China, who are very concerned.

The other is Mr. Merton, one of the economics prize winners in the United States, who also occupies a large page.

But there are exceptions to everything, and there is one person who even overwhelmed the winners.

Or to be precise, it should be a group of people, Liu Qingshan leading a group of little ones.

And the little princes and little princesses from all over the world participated in the betting together, which was even talked about by many newspapers.

The public is also happy to see such news. It feels like seeing their own baby dolls doing mischievous things, secretly happy in their hearts.

When eating in the restaurant the next morning, Liu Qingshan saw that the newspaper was full of news about this, so he couldn't help but smack his lips:

"No, no, isn't this stealing the limelight from the winners?"

"You still know?" Writer Lu joked with him with a smile.

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "It can't be helped, people are riding on our necks."

Everyone believed it, and even Leader Geng felt that at that moment, for the sake of the dignity of the country, he had to stand up and fight back.

It's just that this method of counterattack, in his opinion, is a bit too expensive.

After going back last night, Leader Geng stayed up half the night. He was a little scared by such a huge sum of money.

The more Leader Geng thought about it, the more afraid he was. The other party was an expert in finance and stocks. To play stocks with such a person, wouldn't that mean lighting a lantern in the toilet?

He was going to use the time of dinner this morning to persuade Liu Qingshan not to bet.

But looking at the newspaper, which is full of photos of Liu Qingshan, Leader Geng knew that there was no turning back when he opened his bow.

The only way now is to defeat the opponent. He looked at Liu Qingshan, who was still reading the newspaper with great interest, and said softly:

"Comrade Qingshan, don't worry. After returning to China, I will invite a few professors of economics to help you do your research."

Liu Qingshan smiled and agreed, of course he would appreciate his kindness.

As for asking for help, forget it, the Shanghai Stock Exchange was only established at the end of December this year, and it hasn't yet.

People who know how to trade stocks in China can only be described as rare.

In his memory, there are still a few bullish stocks, most of which are concentrated in Internet companies, such as Cisco. During the ten years of the 90s, the stock has doubled by a thousand times, creating a miracle in the stock market.

So he wasn't too worried about his opponent. That Professor Merton was, at best, a theorist with high eyesight and low power. Otherwise, he would have become a billionaire by relying on stock market investment.

In the morning, I mainly toured the city, and in the evening I participated in the reception organized by the embassy, ​​and the day passed.

Turning the other day, it was already the [-]th of the local time, and tomorrow is the day for the official award presentation, and everyone is actively preparing for it.

And Liu Qingshan led Boban and sat in a conference room.

Across from them, sat Professor Merton.

Surrounded by reporters, no less than dozens of people.

There is also a working team sent by the lawyer, sitting in the middle of the two parties.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very dignified. After all, this was not just a question of 1000 million US dollars. The two participants were very famous.

One is a new Nobel laureate, who can be described as highly respected;

Although the other is young, he has shown talent in many fields and has a bright future.

In the end, no matter who loses, it will be a heavy blow to the reputation of the loser. It is not an exaggeration to say that the reputation is ruined.

First, the lawyer announces the proposed draft agreement, and after both parties confirm that it is correct, it will be signed and become effective.

The contract stipulates that both parties will each deliver 1000 million US dollars to a third-party investment company, and then purchase the stocks of the designated company. After one year, the winner will be determined according to the profitability.

The loser will lose everything.

The other two professors who won the economics award jointly acted as witnesses, and they also signed their names on the agreement.

The reporters also witnessed this moment together, and after conducting some interviews, they left satisfied.

The remaining two parties will continue to complete the most important part of the contract, which is to specify the purchase of tickets, which must be kept confidential.

The scope of choice is the stock market in the United States, after all, it is the financial center of the world.

Witnessed by lawyers and notaries, Liu Qingshan and Professor Merton each wrote down the stocks they were going to invest in on a piece of paper.

When the witnesses opened the two pieces of paper, Qiqi was taken aback, because the same company was written on them: Cisco.

If the two were not opponents, I thought they had discussed it in advance.

Professor William, one of the notaries, frowned. He knew that this was definitely not a coincidence. Both of them were optimistic about the same company, which proved that this company still had great potential for development.

But when this happens, there is no decision at all, and the final result must be a tie.

It seems that a tie is also good, it will not cause harm to anyone, but it can become a good story.

Professor William originally wanted to be a good guy in the middle, isn't this situation exactly what he hoped for?

So Professor William picked up the pen and prepared to write the name of the stock on it, and everyone will be happy when the time comes.

But the lawyer sent by the lawyer raised an objection at this time:

"The two gentlemen are really heroes who see the same thing and choose the same company. However, such a competition is meaningless, so I ask you to make a new choice."

Liu Qingshan was also taken aback when he heard that, and looked up at Merton: "Old guy, it's okay, it's not all a waste of fame."

Merton also felt a little surprised. He shrugged his shoulders: "What a coincidence, it seems that Mr. Mountain did a lot of homework last night. It's your tutor who gave you advice, right?"

For some large companies, there are relevant research reports, which can only be consulted by insiders.

Liu Qingshan shook his head, he really didn't contact Professor Peter, because he knew that if the tutor knew about it, he would definitely stop him.
