Extraordinary Genius

School had started for 10 days, and Feng Yu did not appeareven once. He did not apply for any leave, and the University was worried abouthim and called him.

It was then when Feng Yu realized that he had forgotten aboutapplying for leave from his university because of Li Dafu and Bing CityMachinery Company.

Feng Yu apologized to his school and immediately return toHong Kong. As for the Machinery Company, he leaves it to the management to sortout the rest of the details. If something happens, Fu Guangzheng could helpout. Now, Fu Guangzheng spends most of his time in China.

Another reason why Feng Yu rushed back to his university wasthat he does not want to miss Professor Liang’s cla.s.s. This Professor was theconsultant who had helped managed Hong Kong and China’s funds to hit back at Soros"Quantum Fund in Feng Yu’s previous life.

Feng Yu had asked He Zhaoji to get in touch with ProfessorLiang. Feng Yu wanted to hire him to work at Wind and Rain Consulting. He evenoffered him shares of the company, but Professor Liang rejected this offer.

Professor Liang was not a tyc.o.o.n. But his salary at HongKong University was not low. Also, he was an expert in the financial markets.He could just make his own investments.

Although Professor Liang was not wealthy, he could get a commissionwhen he gave advice to the tyc.o.o.ns. His a.s.sets had increased to over 10 millionHKD within a few years. He was very famous in Hong Kong financial trade. Manytyc.o.o.ns, including Fu Rongqi, wanted to recruit him. But he turned down alloffers. He said he only wanted to do research and money was not his priority.His interest was to groom Hong Kong’s next generation of financial talents.

Professor Liang does not like money, women and no other badhabits, and Feng Yu has no way to entice him to work for him. But Feng Yuthought that since he could not recruit Professor Liang, then they could atleast be friends.

So, when Feng Yu was in Hong Kong, he would attend ProfessorLiang’s lectures. He would even skip other cla.s.ses to sit in Professor Liang’scla.s.ses. Professor Liang also notices Feng Yu because he had appeared in almostevery cla.s.s.

Professor Liang’s lectures were not only for one module. Itwas almost impossible for the same student to appear in all his lessons. Thisstudent must have skipped other cla.s.ses to attend his cla.s.s.

Professor Liang thought Feng Yu was some of Hong Kong’s richsecond generation because of his dressing and was sent to attend his lectures.Maybe this young man was not even a student at Hong Kong University.

But when Professor Liang chatted with Feng Yu, he wa.s.surprised by this young man’s insights to the financial markets. Since when didthis genius appear in Hong Kong? Which family was Feng Yu from?

When Professor Liang found out Feng Yu’s name, he tried torecall which Hong Kong tyc.o.o.n had the same surname. There were no financialexperts in Hong Kong or any tyc.o.o.n with the surname Feng.

He chatted with Feng Yu longer and found out that Feng Yuwas an exchange student from Beijing University. This gave Professor Liang ashocked. How could a mainlander be so well versed with the financial market?

It was not Professor Liang looks down on mainlanders. It wasbecause China’s financial markets’ developments started much later than HongKong. He had also research on China’s financial market and found many loopholesin their systems. If China’s financial market opens up to the rest of theworld, it will be disastrous.

A genius appeared in a country whose financial marketstarted so much later? Professor Liang was amazed. Feng Yu’s talents in the financialmarket had already surpa.s.sed many Hong Kong top economic elites. He was reallya genius!

When Professor Liang found out that Feng Yu was the boss ofthat Wind and Rain Consultancy, his jaws dropped!

Feng Yu was still so young. Not only he was eager to learn,he knew all the fundamental theories at the back of his mind. He also haspractical experiences. There should be no one else in this world that was agenius as Feng Yu.

Feng Yu told Professor Liang that he likes his lectures andcould learn lots of things from him. This made Professor Liang proud.

With Professor Liang’s status and a student told him that,he will feel it was normal. He will not feel happy about it. But when a geniuslike Feng Yu or a successful tyc.o.o.n told him that, he would be overjoyed.

The same words that come out from different people w.i.l.l.yield different results.

So, Professor Liang gave Feng Yu his lecture schedules andinvite Feng Yu to attend his lessons. Professor Liang felt that most lectures atthe University were not critical to the students. They could choose whether ifthey want to attend. Many students also skipped their lectures to attend thelessons they want.

Professor Liang was the same as most lecturers. He likesstudents to attend his lessons and when the number of students increases, hefelt proud. He felt even better when a student like Feng Yu says he likes hislectures.

But when the semester starts, Professor Liang did not seeFeng Yu in many of his lessons. Feng Yu had told him that his exchange was oneyear and Professor Liang wondered why he had skipped his lectures.

Professor Liang does not mind other students skipping hiscla.s.ses. But he felt disappointed when he did not see Feng Yu in his cla.s.ses.

Feng Yu had lost interest in his lessons?

But today, Professor Liang saw that familiar figure in hiscla.s.s, and he taught more pa.s.sionately.

After the lecture, Feng Yu followed Professor Liang back tohis office.

“Feng Yu, where were you the past few days? Why you did notattend my lessons?”

“Professor Liang, I went back to China. My company has somematters to attend.”

“You have a company in China?” Professor Liang wa.s.surprised. But after he thought about it, he felt it was also reasonable. FengYu was from China, and China’s financial industry had just started and theeconomy there will be much better than Hong Kong in the future. But currently,Hong Kong’s conditions were still better than the mainland. Hong Kong was stillone of the world’s top financial hub now.

“Yes. I have a few companies in China.” Feng Yu repliedmodestly.

A few? Professor Liang had thought highly of Feng Yu, but itseems that he had still belittled this young man.

“What does your company back in China do? Also in thefinance sector?”

Feng Yu shook his head: “The financial market in China isnot good. It cannot be compared to Hong Kong or the Western countries. Myinvestments in China are mainly physical a.s.sets in other industries.”

No investors will only trade in the financial market. Theywill invest in some physical a.s.sets. It would be risky for someone to put alltheir money in the financial markets. If the market crash, they might lose alltheir money. With physical a.s.sets like businesses in other industries, theycould still make a comeback.

Professor Liang had spoken to Feng Yu about this. But atthat time, he was unaware that Feng Yu had other businesses.

“Professor Liang, I will be going back to China in July. Iam not sure when is the next time I come back to Hong Kong. You really don’twant to manage Wind and Rain Consulting’s funds? If you think Wind and RainConsulting funds is too small, I can increase it.” Feng Yu tried to inviteProfessor Liang again.

Professor Liang laughed and shook his head. “I had saidbefore. The US stock market is doing well now. With your understanding of the market,you should be able to earn high returns when you invest. You do not need me tohelp you.”

“Then if one day I have to face George Soros and otherfinancial predators from the western countries, will you help me?” Feng Yuasked in a serious tone.

Professor Liang’s face changed. “You want to go againstQuantum Funds? If you really have the abilities, I will be interested injoining in. It’s time for those western predators to pay their dues!”
