55: If your vision is not good, you still need to practice

Looking back at last month's intelligence records, Ye Su discovered that for the previous piece of intelligence regarding gold prices, the system had indicated [Continued] Rise.

However, the intelligence refreshed this time indicated [Welcome] Rise, proving that there was no such thing as a system bug; these were simply two different pieces of intelligence.

"It's only been falling for a few days, and the price of gold is going to welcome a rise again?"

Ye Su picked up his phone to check and found that the price of gold in the early hours of Sunday had already fallen from the high of 747.9 yuan, when he exited on thursday, down to 717.5 yuan.

In two days, the price of gold dropped by thirty yuan, causing panic at the New York Mercantile Exchange and leading to the sell-off of as much as 87 tons of gold futures.

The more Ye Su read the news, the more he felt relieved that he hadn't been greedy for maximum profit on thursday and had exited the market after earning five points.

Based on the current market conditions, Ye Su had reason to suspect that the price of gold would continue to fall today.

If he hadn't sold that lot of gold futures on thursday, given the market trends over the past few days, he feared that by the time the market opened on Monday, all the profits from the previous ten-plus days would have been wiped out.

Ye Su didn't understand the market; he only knew that due to the influence of tariffs, the price of gold would either rise or fall.

Given the market trends of the past two days, Ye Su had thought the outcome would be [Fall], but he hadn't expected the result to be [Rise].

"It seems my insight isn't good enough; I still need to keep practicing."

After reflecting on his lackluster insight, Ye Su's expression gradually became excited.

"Keep falling. It would be best if it falls even harder today so that I can buy at the bottom tomorrow."

The previous piece of intelligence had allowed him to use 20,000 yuan of principal, plus 70,000 yuan in loans, to realize a profit of 35,000 yuan.

Now that he had 170,000 yuan in savings, relying on this piece of intelligence, he should be able to earn at least a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, right!

"What are you looking at that's so engrossing?"

Seeing her bedmate staring at his phone with eyes glowing, like a hooligan seeing a pretty girl, Chen Xinyi curiously leaned over.

In a great mood, Ye Su looked at the soft, pink cheek leaning in from the side and couldn't help but kiss her on the face.

Chen Xinyi was already immune to Ye Su's frequent displays of affection, so she just wiped the saliva off her face onto Ye Su's shoulder: "You aren't watching those borderline streamers online, are you?"

"You're right here beside me. Isn't looking at you enough? Why would I watch any borderline streamers?"

"Then, as a grown man, what could you be watching at midnight that has you so engrossed?"

"I'm looking at the current gold price."

"Looking at gold prices again!" Chen Xinyi immediately perked up: "The price of gold has fallen so sharply these past few days; you don't think you can buy the dip, do you?"

After the trip to Yufeng Jade City in the morning, Chen Xinyi no longer viewed Ye Su as a naive college student.

She also recalled last month, in this same scenario, when Ye Su had judged that the price of gold would continue to rise, allowing her to earn two thousand yuan on her fund.

Ye Su's lot of gold futures had been sold off after the final rise in the gold price on April 3rd, reaching a five-point gain.

Chen Xinyi's 50,000 yuan fund had been hastily liquidated on April 2nd, the moment she saw the gold price drop for the first time after she had bought the fund. She had just managed to avoid a disaster and even made two thousand yuan.

Two thousand yuan really didn't amount to much compared to the 60,000-plus that Ye Su had casually earned this morning.

But for a wage earner like her, earning two thousand yuan in extra income in ten days was already something very worth celebrating.

"Yeah." Ye Su didn't deny it: "The price of gold has fallen too fast these past two days. It feels like everyone is geared up and waiting to buy the dip. I estimate the price of gold will be pushed back up later."

Chen Xinyi asked excitedly: "Are you sure?"

"How could I be sure about that?" Ye Su didn't commit: "I'm definitely guessing. It's just that I feel the probability of a rise is relatively higher."

"Got it!"

Chen Xinyi knew there was no such thing as a sure thing, but this was enough. She chose to trust Ye Su and planned to buy another lot of gold on Monday to earn herself some more extra income.

Ye Su, meanwhile, was planning whether he could buy an extra lot of gold futures this time.

With over 160,000 yuan on hand, as long as he borrowed another 50,000 yuan from Old Ma, he would have enough for the 180,000 yuan margin, and still have over 30,000 yuan left for emergencies.

On thursday, the price of gold had briefly touched a high of 747.9 yuan.

As long as this wave of growth could return to its peak, earning seventy or eighty thousand from two lots of gold futures would be as easy as pie.

After briefly weighing the risks, Ye Su made up his mind to borrow the money early tomorrow morning, watch for the right opportunity on Monday, and immediately buy two lots of gold futures.

With his plan settled, he turned his head to look at Chen Xinyi, who was foolishly checking the price of gold funds, and Ye Su simply rolled over.

"Again!"

"I'm going back to school this afternoon, so I have to cherish the time, don't I."

"Ah!"

Half-resisting and half-yielding, the two launched the second half of the battle.

Any nonsense about [Young people should practice restraint] had clearly been thrown to the back of Ye Su's mind.

...

Young as he was, Ye Su's body wasn't made of iron.

Unlike last week, he didn't stay overnight at Chen Xinyi's place on Sunday.

After spending the whole day being lovey-dovey and eating dinner in the evening, Ye Su said goodbye to Chen Xinyi, returned to Dorm 305, and queued up for a game with his three dudes.

Long since accustomed to Ye Su's lush life of partying every night whenever a holiday arrived, Fang Zewei and the other two no longer put on any acts of "ostracizing" Ye Su.

With Chen Xinyi when he went out, three dudes in the dorm, and money in his pocket, Ye Su felt that his current life was simply as comfortable as it could get.

"dudes, do you want to go get barbecue at the school gate? My treat."

He had made a killing of 68,000 in three days of vacation, buying gifts for Chen Xinyi and taking her out to eat everywhere.

Now that he was back in the dorm, if he didn't treat the three dudes to a late-night snack, even Ye Su would feel that he was truly prioritizing romance over friendship.

"Treating us to barbecue again? Have you struck it rich lately?"

Lin Jingjie noticed that a month into the semester, the frequency of Ye Su treating them seemed to be even higher than last semester.

Ye Su didn't show off in front of the three: "I wouldn't call it striking it rich, just a bit more well-off."

"Then what about the situation with your family's factory?"

"It's basically been resolved."

Ye Su also knew about the 20,000 that Ye Xin had transferred home last month; adding that to his own 30,000, the debt at home was only 350,000 left.

With 170,000 on hand, buying gold futures tomorrow, he could conservatively estimate earning 70,000 or 80,000, plus a few more pieces of secondary intelligence with room for operation.

He wouldn't need to wait until the summer vacation he had originally envisioned; Ye Su could save up the 350,000 this month.

The rest would just be finding a few excuses to transfer the money to Su Wan, and the dark clouds hanging over his family's home would be able to dissipate.

Hearing Ye Su say that everything was fine at home, Fang Zewei and the others were all happy for him.

"Boss Ye's situation, we definitely have to go."

"What Boss Ye? This is my foster father!"

"Many thanks, foster father!"

Treating dudes to a meal was just like this; a standard of over a hundred yuan was already equivalent to a state banquet, easily earning a few heartfelt calls of "foster father."
