Chapter 732 - 305: A Winning Hand (Part 3)
Our little grandson is outstanding.
Soon, Li Likun spread the paper on the floor, and Bai Ye began to grind the ink himself.
Unfortunately, with his small body, he barely had any strength, so after finishing, Li Likun smiled and came over to help.
At some point, Li Yang also came over.
Seeing Li Likun squatting on the ground grinding ink, with Bai Ye watching beside him, he walked over and asked, "Dad, are you going to show off your skills? I never knew you could do calligraphy."
Li Likun replied grumpily, "I only graduated from middle school, the calluses on my hands have only gone away in recent years. These hands can handle a hoe, but holding a brush is like asking a blind man to lead the way."
"So is it my son who’s going to show off his skills?"
Li Yang came over, immediately put his arm around Bai Ye’s small shoulders, and asked, "Is that right, my good son?"
Bai Ye stammered, "Mom said not to get too close to you in front of others."
Li Likun felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this.
Li Yang was taken aback for a moment.
"You little rascal, trying to trick me? But don’t worry, it won’t be long before you can openly call me Dad in front of anyone."
Li Likun didn’t say anything.
Even though he wanted to ask if Li Yang was going to divorce Jiang Banxia.
But he couldn’t say it in front of Bai Ye.
"So, are you serious?" Bai Ye said in the tenderest voice, the most serious words.
"How could I not be? What do you want to write, let Dad admire it too!"
"Oh, okay!"
Bai Ye picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and walked up, writing character by character.
As soon as the first stroke fell, Li Yang was amazed.
Although he doesn’t know much about calligraphy, just by looking at the stroke, the characters must be quite decent.
As one character after another was finished, because of his small stature, Bai Ye ran back and forth twice.
The posture wasn’t ideal throughout, but he still completed a piece, despite some size variations due to Bai Ye’s poor control; it was definitely ten times better than Li Yang could do.
If Li Likun hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe it was written by a little over three-year-old.
Li Yang recited, "May your happiness be as vast as the East Sea, and your life as enduring as the Southern mountain pines. Who is this dedicated to, little guy?"
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Of course, it’s for Grandpa. After all, we came to eat at Grandpa’s and didn’t bring anything."
Li Likun felt his eyes getting a bit misty.
Li Yang picked up Bai Ye with a laugh, "Good boy, you are sure to make a name for yourself in the future!"
Li Likun wiped his tears, walked over, and said to Bai Ye, "Little Ye Ye, Grandpa doesn’t need you to bring me gifts. I’ll visit you often, and if there’s anything you want, just tell Grandpa."
Li Yang hurriedly said, "Dad, how about we change Yeye’s name? It’s not too late to change it now. How about Bai Zixuan?"
Li Likun gave him a look. What’s so nice about Bai Zixuan, there are many Zixuans around.
He thought he was going to change it to Li Ye.
Ye sounds so nice, and the connotation of the character is very good.
When he and Jiang Yaoting were fighting over the naming rights back then, he specifically researched this and even bought a dictionary.
"This is nice, no need to change it."
"Aren’t you afraid you’ll slip up one day?"
"What does it matter to you?"
After saying that, Li Likun took out a gold lock from his pocket.
"Ye Ye, Grandpa didn’t have time to prepare anything for you. I’ll give you something next time."
Li Yang noticed that Bai Ye’s eyes lit up when he saw the gold lock.
But he still asked, "Dad, can I accept it?"
"Of course, you should accept it."
Bai Ye immediately smiled and took the gold lock, saying at the same time, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Li Likun felt his eyes get misty again.
"Come, let Grandpa hold you."
As soon as Li Likun finished speaking, Bai Ye stretched out his arms.
Seeing this, Li Yang said, "You guys play, I have other things to do."
He didn’t really mind how perceptive Bai Ye was.
Even though from his experience, he could see that today Bai Ye had set up a little plan for his father, stirring up Li Likun’s emotions with a small matter.
Being smart is good.
Early wisdom is also good.
Being able to play with emotions is even better.
In the study, Li Yang looked at the US Stocks.
The rise in US Stocks had also slowed down; it would soon enter a slight fluctuation state.
He could see the information feedback from brokerage channels that currently, short positions on US Stocks stood at just 340 billion US Dollars.
That number just made Li Yang want to laugh.
He himself had injected nearly a hundred billion US Dollars, and yet there were so few short positions?
The market short positions were definitely not less than 600 billion US Dollars, and those Wall Street dogs started preparing to reap after the Xinguan black swan event erupted.
In the entire US Stocks market, 80% of the funds were from American financial institutions. If they didn’t dump shares, how could the US Stocks face a halt?
Wall Street loves exploiting black swan events to reap benefits. Their reasons are sound, US Stocks have been rising for so long, and they’ve been pouring money in, so it’s time to harvest.
That’s how US Stocks are; they might rise continuously for a long time, or because of a relatively minor event, they would be blown up, forcing the US Stocks to fall, making it seem inevitable.
If you look at it this way, it should have dropped long ago.
Most US Stocks investors are like Li Yang, having partial information.
Three-hundred-billion-dollar short positions won’t make others think US Stocks are failing. If they find out that short positions exceed 600 billion, investors would immediately choose to pull out, and Wall Street wouldn’t be able to continue opening short positions.
He gave Chen Peipei a call and spoke briefly.
Before long, Chen Peipei came over, seeming a bit reluctant.
"I was playing cards, I had a good hand, I was about to win, what did you call me for?"
