30: 110,000 is a bit little to buy stocks.
Chen Kai clicked into the group chat and couldn't help but frown.
"Great Aunt: @Chen Kai, how is your college student startup going? My son, your younger cousin, graduated from the finance department and immediately joined a big company. I think it's something about trading Stocks or what not? It's very high-end. Those rich people have millions passing through your cousin's hands every month."
This was clearly an intentional show-off, putting others down to lift her own up, just to flaunt how capable her son was.
With a monthly turnover of several million, an investment advisor could make 0.5% to 2%, which is just a few tens of thousands of rmb.
She couldn't even help but come out and brag about that.
"Second Aunt: Him? Heh, a bunch of scoundrels. They still haven't paid back the 100,000 rmb they owe me. If it weren't for that loan, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with this family at all."
"Great Aunt: Oh? I forgot his startup failed and he lost so much. You should learn more from your cousin—he's trading Stocks! It's very high-end. Second Aunt, you too, you should help in an emergency, not help the poor."
"Second Aunt: Who would have known that this family of stinking scoundrels wouldn't pay back the money even after a year? If I had known, I shouldn't have lent it to them!"
"Second Aunt: @Mom, when are you paying back the money? My son has his eye on a new car, and he's waiting for your money to buy it!"
Chen Kai's anger flared up instantly upon reading this.
Didn't he pay her interest? Didn't he sign an IOU for repayment in three years?
Back when he was doing well, he helped her son find a job and lent money to her son for a car, and he never once pressured them.
He thought about it and sent a message to the group: "Didn't I pay you interest on the money I borrowed? In a while, I will go back and pay you back with interest, every single penny."
"Second Aunt: That better be soon."
After saying that, he turned off his phone.
The emotions in his heart did not settle for a long time.
It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to go home. Once he earned enough money from the Intelligence System to pay off his debts, he would go home, pay the money back, and cut off all contact.
Kinship? It's just like that, then.
Chen Kai thought about it. He had originally intended to borrow some money from Liu Yunshang, but in the end, he didn't bring it up.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he simply took off his expensive luxury brand clothing, put on his delivery uniform, and went downstairs to start delivering food again.
...On the other side, Liu Yunshang was taking photos in the Jade Rough Stone exhibition area, looking to see if there were any opportunities to Score a Bargain.
She only had a superficial understanding of jade. Through the light, she could only tell if there was any jade flesh beneath the skin of the Jade Rough Stone; she couldn't discern any other information and had to rely on luck.
Some experts who deal with jade can judge whether a Jade Rough Stone has many cracks, whether the jade flesh is fine and delicate, and whether there are inclusions by looking at the skin and the direction of the veins.
Basically, with one glance, they know the commercial value of the jade.
Liu Yunshang felt a bit overwhelmed and couldn't figure anything out. She wanted to ask Zheng Liu Chang if he understood this aspect, but suddenly saw a status report from Zheng Liu Chang.
The purchase price of every item, the market price, and the selling price all had to be reported to her; this was the rule in the antique business.
"Boss, I acquired another copper coin, an emperor taipings era currency. The market price is 18,000, and I acquired it for 13,000. There's also a silk cinnabar red string, market price 3,000, acquired for 2,000."

Liu Yunshang was slightly taken aback and asked back, "Why has the efficiency of acquiring goods been so high lately?"
"These items were all sold by one person, and they are all authentic, which has added a variety of items to our shop."
Liu Yunshang rested her head on one of her jade-like hands, frowning in thought.
Were they all sold by one person? That person must have something special.
"Then, do you understand jade?"
"Zheng Liu Chang: This... it really hits my blind spot in knowledge; I don't know much about it."
Seeing that he didn't understand, Liu Yunshang turned off her phone and didn't reply again.
...11:00 PM. After finishing his deliveries, Chen Kai climbed the stairs back to his Rental House.
After washing up, he waited on his bed for the system to refresh.
He couldn't help but feel some anticipation, wondering how much he could earn from the Intermediate Intelligence's opportunity to Score a Bargain.
While waiting as if each minute were a year, the time slowly reached 12:00.
[Ding!]
[Today's Intermediate Intelligence refresh: The Pop Mart labubu series has become a massive hit, causing the stock price to soar. Recently, the hype has declined, and Retail Investors and Financial Companies have been selling off their Stocks, causing the stock price to fall. Today at 5:00 PM, it reached the lowest peak of the last week, at 212 rmb per share. It is recommended that the host buys in tomorrow at 5:00 PM and sells at the peak of 453 rmb/share next Tuesday at 11:00 AM.]
Chen Kai was stunned, his expression clearly becoming excited.
He could net 241 rmb per share! Investing 2,000 could earn 2,100; investing 20,000 could earn 21,000!
Investing 100,000 could earn 110,000!!
Chen Kai immediately grabbed his phone and searched online to see how Retail Investors were discussing the rise and fall of Pop Mart's stock price.
Without exception, after seeing the news and hype online, the Retail Investors all felt that the previous 351 rmb per share was the peak for Pop Mart Stocks, and that it would continue to go green (fall).
Stock trading experts also stood up one after another to express their opinions.
"No longer optimistic about the growth of Pop Mart. It is recommended that Retail Investors sell off at the peak immediately."
He clicked on the expert's comment section to take a look; there were quite a few streamers who had built their accounts by trading Stocks chiming in and agreeing in the comments.
"My predictions have never been wrong! If Pop Mart doesn't fall below 200, I'll eat sh*t on the livestream!"
"Supporting the streamer. I already sold at 302 and made 80,000. So sweet."
"I didn't have such good luck. I sold on the first day it went green, made over 20,000. It's okay. Those who don't sell now will lose even their underwear."
"Is it possible... to buy Stocks in reverse and get a villa by the sea? Didn't the famous billionaire Mr. Wang say that? Buy all those green-glowing Stocks! If you don't buy them now, you won't be able to buy them later!"
"To the one above, good luck. When the time comes, don't say the wind on the rooftop is cold."
Chen Kai read the comments for a while and had a general understanding of this stock.
Is this the way to make money brought about by an information gap?
Thinking about those who are freeloading, Chen Kai wanted to laugh.
Chen Kai thought about it and decided to ask Liu Yunshang to recommend a Financial Company tomorrow. Trading Stocks is a bit difficult for someone like him who doesn't even know where to buy them.
Professional matters should still be left to professionals.
And he had to go all-in at 5:00 tomorrow, otherwise the price would rise. Buy low, sell high; if the price rises, it means he makes less money.
It's just that his initial capital is not enough. This is the first time he has received this type of investment information. If it's a sure win, he'll put all 110,000 in.
He could earn 125,000, and after deducting fees and the Financial Company advisor's commission, he might be left with 110,000.
It's equivalent to doubling whatever money he invests.
"Earning 110,000, that's a bit low."
Chen Kai frowned. It was rare to have such a good investment opportunity; his heart itched because he couldn't make hundreds of thousands.
But... he definitely couldn't borrow much from online lending platforms, and he couldn't count on getting money from his mom and dad.
Zheng Liu Chang didn't have much savings either, at most ten or twenty thousand.
