85: Sell Huiyuan Juice stock!
Chen Kai didn't have time to react. Just as the pink Hello Kitty suitcase was about to be swept away by the river, he threw his fishing rod behind him.
He switched the landing net from his left hand to his right and scooped it towards the extended handle of the suitcase.
The suitcase handle was perfectly positioned; under the force of the current, both rods of the handle slid straight into the landing net.
He immediately leaned down, grabbed the wheels that were constantly rolling in the water, and with a slight exertion of force, hauled the dozens-of-pounds suitcase up with his bare hands.
However, the landing net was swept away by the flood; it was a casualty of the operation.
Chen Kai hugged the suitcase and sat down on the Bank with a thud. His Hermès short-sleeved shirt was soaked by the turbulent current, and he chuckled, panting for breath.
"Damn it, finally got it up."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and carried the suitcase a few steps back to a relatively safe spot where the water wouldn't splash up.
He looked around again, picked up his fishing rod and the big carp he had caught, and dragged the dripping wet suitcase toward the small woods.
After all, since he fished out money dropped by counterfeiters, it was better to be a bit discreet.
Dragging the suitcase into the small woods, Chen Kai laid it flat. He only hoped the rmb cash hadn't been soaked by the water, though the pink Hello Kitty suitcase didn't look waterproof.
With a nervous heart, he opened the suitcase and found it filled with water!
Floating on the water were five vacuum-packed bundles of red banknotes.
"No water got in! Still spendable!"
Chen Kai quickly took the five vacuum-packed bundles of money out of the water-filled case, shook off the outer packaging, opened the vacuum seal, and reached in with his finger to touch it. It was only slightly damp.
If he hadn't fished it out and it had soaked a little longer, the money would probably have been soaked through!
He quickly shoved the money into his carry-on bag, including the vacuum bags. He had just touched them with his hands, so he would inevitably leave fingerprints.
Just as Chen Kai stood up, he remembered there seemed to be some fake xianfeng treasure coin copper coins in the suitcase. He lifted the suitcase to pour out the river water, and sure enough, he found ten copper coins bundled in a vacuum bag at the bottom.
He picked up a bundle at random and looked at it. "This... isn't this the one sold to Da Sanjiang Pawnshop?"
"Could it be that they are all a gang of antique counterfeiters?"
Chen Kai was stunned. Although the fakes had no value, they were quite convincing.
He simply stuffed all ten bundles of one hundred fake coins into his pockets, restored the pink suitcase to its original state, and threw it into the river.
Only then did he take his fishing rod, tie the fish's mouth with the fishing line, hang it on his Electric Scooter, and slowly drive toward his Rental House.
Along the way, many cars cast envious glances at him.
"Brother, that fish is awesome! Where did you catch it?"
"Damn, Brother, where did you catch such a big fish? Give me the address, and I'll buy you a pack of cigarettes..."
"Awesome!!! Let's go fishing together sometime!"
Chen Kai gradually lost himself in these exclamations of praise. The trip that should have taken half an hour to get home ended up taking two hours.
He even circled the entrance a few more times. The only reason he had to go back was the fear that the fish would rot if he kept circling.
He finally understood why those anglers liked to drive around a few times after catching a fish. Who could resist losing themselves amidst these exclamations of "Brother, you're awesome"?
He carried the fish home and took out the fake xianfeng treasure coin coins and the five bundles of money from his pockets.
After thinking about it, he decided it was better to keep the five bundles of money at home. At least for now, he couldn't put them into his Bank card; who knew if these counterfeiters would keep looking for the money.
Looking at the xianfeng treasure coin again, he felt it was necessary to give Zheng Liu Chang a heads-up.
He slowly took out his triple-fold screen phone and sent a message to Zheng Liu Chang.
"Be careful when collecting xianfeng treasure coin recently. A large batch of those extremely realistic fake coins, the kind we identified at Da Sanjiang Pawnshop last time, has appeared on the market."
Less than a minute later, Zheng Liu Chang replied.
[Understood, I'll be careful. Also, where exactly did you get that brooch yesterday? Why did it have a... scent of Idle Fish? I washed it for a long time before it smelled good.]
Chen Kai's expression gradually turned strange. He coughed twice and didn't reply to anything.
He turned around, put the one hundred xianfeng treasure coin coins together with the fifty thousand rmb, hid them in a secret place, and then calculated his gains from the past two days.
Yesterday's brooch sold for thirty-one thousand, and today he picked up fifty thousand. The xianfeng treasure coin could actually be sold for money too, but to avoid trouble, he decided against it. He would keep them for now.
Eighty-one thousand plus the Stocks he was about to sell, 1.32 million in principal plus 100,000 in profits, his net worth reached 1.5 million!
He could already buy a car! But he was still a bit short of buying a house. To buy a house, he needed at least 3 million in savings before he could even consider it.
Housing prices in Jiangnan were not cheap; a decent house cost tens of thousands per square meter, and buying a house would wipe out millions.
Chen Kai sighed, and the next moment, his phone notification rang.
He picked up his phone and checked WeChat.
[Tang Yunshu: Brother! Hurry and look at the number one spot on TikTok's trending list! You're too amazing! Huiyuan Juice donated five million for earthquake relief work! They were specifically praised and called a conscientious enterprise!]
[Now many netizens have learned that Huiyuan Juice was on the verge of bankruptcy but still donated so much, so they are all going to the live stream to place orders and stock up on many boxes. The stock price has also been driven up!]
[It has risen to 3.26 per share, and experts predict it will continue to rise. From a sunset industry, it might just become a hot, sought-after Stocks!]
[Brother, you are just too amazing! How come whichever Stocks you buy, that Stocks becomes a hit? Is this top-tier vision?]
Chen Kai looked at the message and chuckled. He glanced at the time—past eleven o'clock. It was time to sell.
"It's time to sell. Take advantage of today. You bought some too, right? You can sell them together."
[Tang Yunshu: Huh?! Isn't Huiyuan about to rise again?]
[I... I understand. I'll sell right now!]
Chen Kai looked at these two messages and chuckled. This little girl had gone from initial skepticism to now believing his words implicitly.
...
On the other side, at the Financial Company.
Tang Yunshu put down her weight-loss meal and quickly operated the computer to sell the Stocks.
Chen Tao, who was sitting behind Tang Yunshu, was happily looking at cars.
"Secretly listening to them talk, the Huiyuan Stocks they bought really exploded."
"Now I can buy a car directly. Anyway, that damn cousin of mine hasn't come to the company today, so he definitely won't sell. When I sell in a few days, I'll make a big profit."
"Hmm... I'll just buy a magotan! It's better to get a zero-down payment. Twenty-four installments, a monthly salary of 12,000, paying 12,500 a month... No big problem. Anyway, Huiyuan will make a big profit, and I can just pay off the loan early then..."
