Chapter 651: Chapter 280: A Teardrop

Why am I spending so much money on you?

Because it’s a free ride.

It’s impossible to speak the truth about Mr. Tongzi paying for lick-dog gold, and even if it was made public, no one would believe it, so Su Huai certainly could not tell the truth.

So, he had to make up a story.

But how could he fabricate a story to explain a 20-year-old boy wildly spending 300 million RMB on a female streamer?

This question was almost becoming the inquisitive concern of the entire online community.

Su Huai glanced at his wallet.

By today, through swapping between major and minor accounts, he had gifted Pei Shuyu Star Coin presents worth about 300 million RMB in total; the overall recharge amount was unclear, but he had made 80 million in Lick-Dog Gold from it.

Part of it was invested in Xingyu, and there was also 50 million in pure liquid cash in his domestic bank account.

An ordinary college freshman, starting with almost only a bowl, had a few thousand RMB for living expenses. Before the semester was over, he had amassed a fortune over a hundred million.

Hey, how does he blow his own trumpet?

Su Huai had a way.

"Because my money comes too easily, I feel uneasy if I don’t spend it."

With a shrug and a sigh, he struck a classic Versailles pose.

Pei Shuyu’s eyes widened, never expecting such an answer.

"From where? The business and group you told me about must all be fake, right? So where did you get all that money from?"

"Do you really want to know?"

Su Huai looked at her with a doubtful expression, the signal from his face roughly meaning: With your intelligence, is it meaningful to listen to my explanation?

Pei Shuyu read the sarcasm and was infuriated.

"What? Haven’t figured out how to fabricate it?"

Although she was angry, she also felt somewhat guilty, but she was good at acting and held her ground with a straight face.

In normal male-female confrontations, it’s best not to explain if you can avoid it, but the situation now was different. Explaining was actually better than avoiding.

So Gou Huai spread his hands, "OK, then I will explain it to you in a way you can understand.

After the global financial crisis in 2008, the international situation underwent huge changes, such as the European debt crisis, Greece going bankrupt, Britain dragging down Europe, and so on.

The root cause was the liquidity drought created by the US dollar flowing back into America.

If you think of the US dollar as a tide, then when it expands outward, the sea water covers the shoreline, and any hole in the sand allows small fish and shrimp to thrive.

But when the tide goes out and the seawater dries up, what happens to those small fish, shrimp, and even people who are swimming naked at the beach?

They all have their own troubles, right?

Once we grasp such a major trend, and we follow the dollar, we can slurp up the soup that big capital throws down when they eat meat.

Some people, you see, specifically make money off this tide..."

As Su Huai spoke, he looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of teasing.

Where do you get the confidence that you can understand this knowledge?

Pei Shuyu’s ears turned red. She indeed did not understand, even though it was explained so simply.

Why is the US dollar like a tide?

The head of a dance student was full of question marks.

But she forcibly put on a thoughtful look and asked unsatisfactorily, "So how do you make money off the tide? You are only 20, and even if you’ve been earning for 2 years, could you have 1 billion RMB?!"

Alright, alright, making me play your game, huh?

Gou Huai picked up his wine glass and began to speak slowly and deliberately.

"It’s a simple thing. When I was 12, I figured out many methods.

For example, those who swim naked, now that they’re covering their butts, they definitely need underpants, right?

If you prepare underpants in advance and sell them at a high price now, unless he wants to save a bit of face and come ashore, wouldn’t he have to buy your underpants at a high price?

For the small fish and shrimp in the sandpit, just prepare a net in advance, go over and scoop them up, right?

Then there’s various trash washed ashore by the sea, pick and choose, useful stuff you take back, useless stuff you throw away, that’s also a good method to make money.

Or even adults and kids swept into the sea by the retreating tide, if you have a speedboat, you go over to rescue people, and they have to endure whatever price you ask, right?

Of course, the most awesome method is definitely to set sail out to the sea, follow the ocean current, and fish for precious species, but that’s a bit more complex..."

Huh?!

What in the world is all this?!

Even an actress couldn’t hold back anymore, twitching at the corner of her eyes, her left hand subconsciously covering her forehead.

She didn’t understand, but didn’t want to show that she didn’t, completely panicking.

Help!

Damn it, I am being defeated by the intelligence of a 12-year-old boy!

Su Huai watched her as she tried hard to think and then strived to perform "I get it," but actually, her eyes were clearly filled with stupidity. He just laughed and fell onto the sofa.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! You didn’t understand a single word, did you? Good Girl, you’re really interesting!"

In a flash, Good Girl was burning with embarrassment.

"All mystifying! You’re just rambling and hoodwinking me!"

With her huffing and panting, dynamic light waves also began to emit Earth-Splitting Double Dragon Break.

Su Huai boldly glanced at her, curved his lips into a smile, and then turned serious before she really lost it.

"Alright, I’ll explain it once more, the serious version.

My father had a stock account, and he got played by the market, but then I started tinkering with it in 2014 and made a small fortune during the bull market.

Later, as the US dollars flowed back, the world entered a liquidity drought, and prices of commodities like copper, iron, and rubber plummeted, making money blindly with leverage in the futures market.

However, earning money with domestic futures was too slow, the international gold market was much bigger. During the appreciation cycle of the US dollar, gold, as a semi-anchor, dropped for three years.

Afterwards, there were opportunities all over the international financial market, with Brexit leading to a huge drop in pound; international oil prices falling and then rising around the OPEC production cut; South America in total recession, with short-term US dollar lending rates soaring by 15 percentage points; Trump taking office causing major turmoil in the global financial market...
