Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Practice martial arts in the morning, attend classes in the morning, and rest in the courtyard in the afternoon to read books and newspapers. This is what Feng Sizhe has to do every day since he came to this world. Ten days have passed like this. It was not until Chen Hu came to Feng Zhe and told him that there was a phone call for him that Feng Sizhe suddenly remembered what his aunt had told him in the morning, that today was the day when his mother would call him across the ocean once every two weeks.

After answering the phone, Feng Sizhe felt a little excited. His mother, the woman he had known for the longest time and whom he loved the most, was only forty years old now. He thought that his mother gave birth to him at the age of eighteen, and at that time his grandfather did not understand the relationship between her and his father. His mother must have suffered a lot.

"Zhe'er, Zhe'er, are you listening?" The kind and pleasant voice that Feng Sizhe never got tired of hearing came from the phone.

"Mom, my son is listening." Feng Sizhe came to his senses and immediately responded to Zhao Lirong's words.

Listening to her son's high spirits on the phone, Zhao Lirong felt relieved. "Oh, it's really hard for you. You must be unaccustomed to returning to your motherland."

"It's fine. It's been a while now. I'm used to it. Haha, Mom, how are you? You have to take care of yourself. You must take good care of yourself when you are alone outside." I still remember that Feng Sizhe, who was in his forties, used to say these words when he talked to his mother on the phone. It sounds very fluent to him now.

"Not bad, you have made progress, you know how to care about mom. But what you said is not right, what do you mean by mom is alone, you don't know how much your classmates care about me, especially that Alina who comes to accompany me every other day, and I'm very busy recently, you said you're leaving, and you're just leaving the Tangsheng International Company to me, right?" Hearing that her son was in a good mood, Zhao Lirong naturally took the opportunity to criticize Feng Sizhe. But to be honest, Feng Sizhe is really a business genius, relying on the scholarship given by the school, plus tutoring and odd jobs, Feng Sizhe really made a lot of money and set up a Tangsheng International Company with a few good classmates, including Alina.

There is a reason why the company is named Tangsheng. Tang stands for the Republic, and Sheng is the last character of Feng Sizhe's father Feng Kangsheng, which also means to commemorate his father.

Feng Sizhe's classmate Alina is not British, but a native Singaporean. She has a nice Chinese name, Dong Jie. It is said that her ancestral home is from Fujian Province, the Republic of China, and she later immigrated to Singapore. When Feng Sizhe was in the UK, he clearly felt that Alina liked him, but at that time he really put all his energy into his studies and company entrepreneurship, so he never gave her a chance to express his feelings. Unexpectedly, Feng Sizhe returned to his motherland in a blink of an eye, and since then he has had less contact with Alina.

Now that he heard his mother say that Alina still visited her every few days, it undoubtedly showed that she still loved him deeply. Alina herself was also very beautiful, had a good family background, and there were countless people chasing after her, but why did she fall in love with him? Feng Sizhe was helpless. "Hey, is Alina okay?"

"Okay, I'm fine. It's a pity that she didn't come today, otherwise I would ask her to talk to you next time I call." Hearing her son asking about Elena with concern, Zhao Lirong smiled and teased her son.

"Well, that's fine. I think she needs to explain some things to me." Feng Sizhe seemed to have made up his mind and decided to deal with this emotional issue in the next call. "Oh, by the way, mom, how is the company going? You didn't lose all your son's assets, did you?"

"Look at what you said. I am a professor of finance. Don't think I only know theory. I am also very good at practice." Zhao Lirong seemed very proud when talking about the company. In fact, many professors of finance in the UK will guest-star as planners or consultants for some large companies. This is also common abroad.

"Well, then I'm relieved. Haha, Mom, let me tell you something serious. I pay close attention to the international situation. I think the Gulf War is likely to break out. While there is still time, we might as well use all the company's financial resources on oil futures. That way we can make a lot of money."

Futures are the underlying assets that are bought and sold now but delivered or settled in the future. The underlying assets can be some commodities (such as gold, crude oil, agricultural products), financial instruments, or financial indicators. The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later, or even one year later. The contract or agreement for buying and selling futures is called a futures contract. The place where futures are bought and sold is called a futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures. Of course, Feng Sizhe mentioned oil futures here, which obviously means he is going to speculate.

Feng Sizhe, who has foresight about the future world, knows the outcome of the Gulf War very well. He also knows the price of crude oil in the international market after this war, so now he asks his mother to prepare to do this, in order to get the first pot of gold for Tangsheng International Company.

"Oh, Zhe'er, do you also study the international situation?" Hearing her son's confident tone, Zhao Lirong also perked up. She knew that if her son's estimate was accurate, it would definitely be a great opportunity for Tang Sheng to expand.

"Well, here I can see a lot of confidential international information of my motherland, believe me." In order to make his mother believe him, Feng Sizhe had to lie first. He couldn't say that I came back from a time travel and I already knew a lot of things. If he did that, he would be sent to a mental hospital.

"Well, I'll listen to you." Zhao Lirong seemed to trust her son very much, and she had made up her mind on the other end of the phone. In fact, her son was the largest shareholder of the company. If he listened to Feng Sizhe, even if he lost everything, there was nothing to say. But if this was really an opportunity, he would have to find a way to raise more funds. Otherwise, with Tang Sheng's current strength, even if a war really broke out, the money invested would not make much money back.

After hanging up the phone with his mother, Alina's figure appeared in Feng Sizhe's memory. In his memory, Alina's father was also a very famous businessman in Singapore, but later encountered the financial crisis and the company collapsed overnight. Then Alina never contacted him again. He just didn't know if this situation would change in this life.

Shaking his head, Feng Sizhe returned to the house. He still had some things to write. These things would be of great benefit to both the Zhao family and himself. He would not let go of this opportunity easily.
