Extraordinary Genius

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

Another reason why Feng Yu rushed back to his university was that he does not want to miss Professor Liang’s class. This Professor was the consultant 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 Professor Liang. Feng Yu wanted to hire him to work at Wind and Rain Consulting. He even offered him shares of the company, but Professor Liang rejected this offer.

Professor Liang was not a tycoon. But his salary at Hong Kong 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 commission when he gave advice to the tycoons. His assets had increased to over 10 million HKD within a few years. He was very famous in Hong Kong financial trade. Many tycoons, including Fu Rongqi, wanted to recruit him. But he turned down all offers. 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 bad habits, and Feng Yu has no way to entice him to work for him. But Feng Yu thought that since he could not recruit Professor Liang, then they could at least be friends.

So, when Feng Yu was in Hong Kong, he would attend Professor Liang’s lectures. He would even skip other classes to sit in Professor Liang’s classes. Professor Liang also notices Feng Yu because he had appeared in almost every class.

Professor Liang’s lectures were not only for one module. It was almost impossible for the same student to appear in all his lessons. This student must have skipped other classes to attend his class.

Professor Liang thought Feng Yu was some of Hong Kong’s rich second 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 was surprised by this young man’s insights to the financial markets. Since when did this genius appear in Hong Kong? Which family was Feng Yu from?

When Professor Liang found out Feng Yu’s name, he tried to recall which Hong Kong tycoon had the same surname. There were no financial experts in Hong Kong or any tycoon with the surname Feng.

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

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

A genius appeared in a country whose financial market started so much later? Professor Liang was amazed. Feng Yu’s talents in the financial market had already surpassed many Hong Kong top economic elites. He was really a genius!

When Professor Liang found out that Feng Yu was the boss of that 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 has practical experiences. There should be no one else in this world that was a genius as Feng Yu.

Feng Yu told Professor Liang that he likes his lectures and could 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 genius like Feng Yu or a successful tycoon told him that, he would be overjoyed.

The same words that come out from different people will yield different results.

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

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

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

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

Feng Yu had lost interest in his lessons?

But today, Professor Liang saw that familiar figure in his class, and he taught more passionately.

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

“Feng Yu, where were you the past few days? Why you did not attend my lessons?”

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

“You have a company in China?” Professor Liang was surprised. But after he thought about it, he felt it was also reasonable. Feng Yu was from China, and China’s financial industry had just started and the economy 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 still one of the world’s top financial hub now.

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

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

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

Feng Yu shook his head: “The financial market in China is not good. It cannot be compared to Hong Kong or the Western countries. My investments in China are mainly physical assets in other industries.”

No investors will only trade in the financial market. They will invest in some physical assets. It would be risky for someone to put all their money in the financial markets. If the market crash, they might lose all their money. With physical assets like businesses in other industries, they could still make a comeback.

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

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

Professor Liang laughed and shook his head. “I had said before. 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 to help you.”

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

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