596: Is it Chinese New Year?

After praying that his descendants wouldn't end up like the owner of Villa No. 3 in the Longyue No. 1 Villa District, squandering their inheritance within a few years of inheriting it, Ye Su finally looked at the next piece of intelligence.

[Weekly Intelligence (Level 9): Starting from August 1st, the stock price of Gobi Jia will begin to rise gradually. It is estimated that after three weeks, the increase will reach 150%!]

[Note 1: The total amount of money the Host uses to purchase this stock must not exceed 40 million yuan, otherwise it will trigger a chain reaction, leading to uncontrollable changes in the stock price!]

[Note 2: Since the average daily turnover of this stock is less than 200 million yuan and its market value is less than 3 billion, it is recommended that the Host purchase this stock in batches over the next few days!]

"Another Level 9 intelligence? What's going on? Are we not going to live our lives anymore?!"

After making that cheeky remark while benefiting from the situation, Ye Su excitedly scanned through the intelligence.

"Another stock is about to skyrocket. Is the stock market doing that well recently?"

"Although it's only a 150% increase, not as exaggerated as Shangwei New Materials, the trading volume is large enough. I can buy up to 40 million, which calculates to a profit of 60 million!"

Excited by the substantial profit, Ye Su suddenly realized that he was facing the same problem as before: he didn't have enough money in his bank account.

"Is 40 million really that easy to spend now? Just refreshing one piece of intelligence and it's not enough to cover it..."

Stroking his chin in thought, Ye Su felt that the only assets he could quickly cash out to raise the 40 million needed to buy Gobi Jia stock were the Shangwei New Materials shares in his account that had been rising for three weeks.

Ye Su checked with Friday, and the stock price of Shangwei New Materials had already risen to 92 yuan per share.

His cost was only 7.8 yuan. The 2 million worth of stock he bought initially had now turned into over 23 million, a rise even greater than the 1000% mentioned in the intelligence.

Old Li had a saying that Ye Su thought was very reasonable: [Don't try to earn the last copper coin].

Taking advantage of the fact that the stock price of Shangwei New Materials was still rising, Ye Su decided it was time to sell.

If he really waited until it hit the peak, Ye Su couldn't guarantee that he would be able to successfully sell all 20 million plus worth of shares.

If he were to get greedy for that last copper coin and end up with over 20 million trapped in the stock market, Ye Su didn't know what he would do other than slap himself twice.

"That's the plan. After waking up, I'll have my Older Female Cousin help me clear out my Shangwei New Materials stock, and then buy 40 million worth of Gobi Jia stock."

"Throw 40 million into the stock market, turn it into 100 million; then throw that 100 million into gold, and turn it into 300 million. Isn't that what they call money making money?"

After letting out a few [Hehehe] sinister laughs, Ye Su swiped to the next piece of intelligence.

[Weekly Intelligence (Level 9): Jiawen Auction House recently received a [Qing Dynasty Plum Blossom Poetry White Jade Pendant], which is actually a Mysterious Surprise Item.

After successfully obtaining the [Intelligence Item · Jade Pendant], the Host can activate the Hidden Attribute and gain a mysterious surprise function!]

"Holy crap!"

"Another Level 9 intelligence? Is it really Chinese New Year?!"

"Or is this my last meal before execution?!"

Having refreshed three consecutive Level 9 intelligence reports, Ye Su had the illusion that he was eating his last meal before being beheaded.

"Brother System, don't be like this, I'm a little scared!"

"Let's take it slow and steady; there's no need to refresh all the good stuff at once!"

For the first time, feeling anxious about his own good luck, Ye Su glanced at the intelligence with lingering fear.

"The jade pendant received by Jiawen Auction House is a Level 9 Mysterious Surprise Item. The [Hidden Attribute] after activation must be explosive!"

Based on the dozen or so previous intelligence reports related to Mysterious Surprise Items, Ye Su had already determined that the higher the intelligence level, the stronger the effect of the [Hidden Attribute] upon activation.

As the first Mysterious Surprise Item refreshed from a Level 9 intelligence report, Ye Su believed that the effect of the jade pendant after activation would definitely be much stronger than other Mysterious Surprise Items.

"It just so happens that the porcelain antiques buried under the villa are worth 20 million. Bowen Antique Shop can't afford them, so I have to take them to Jiawen Auction House to sell, which will be just enough to buy the jade pendant."

"Next piece of intelligence!"

The three consecutive Level 9 intelligence reports made Ye Su both panicked and excited, and he swiped the system screen to the next page.

[Weekly Intelligence (Level 8): Feng Zhiquan acquired a wooden box from the late Qing Dynasty yesterday. At the bottom of the wooden box is a mortise and tenon wooden box, and inside the wooden box is a sample stock certificate of the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company issued in 1872!]

[Note 1: Since sample and practical stock certificates of the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company have never appeared on the market, the system cannot provide an accurate valuation and can only estimate this intelligence as Level 8!]

[Note 2: The unlocking method for the mortise and tenon wooden box at the bottom of the wooden box has been placed in the [Details Page]. The Host can open it to learn!]

"It's not Level 9 intelligence anymore..."

Just a moment ago, he was saying that there were so many Level 9 intelligence reports this week that it made him panic, but now that he saw a Level 8 intelligence report, Ye Su felt a slight, inexplicable disappointment.

"The wooden box that Boss Feng acquired contains a sample stock certificate of the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company. It has never appeared on the market before, and even Brother System can't estimate its actual value?"

With curiosity, Ye Su went online to check and learned that the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company stock was the initial stock of the first joint-stock enterprise in the country—the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company, issued in 1872.

To date, no one has ever seen the real sample or practical stock certificates; they have only seen the design of the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company stock in ancient books that have been passed down.

Twenty years ago, someone once offered a million to acquire a China Merchants Steam Navigation Company stock certificate, but it ended up amounting to nothing.

Because of this, collectors once suspected whether the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company had ever actually issued any stock.

Now it seems that the sample stock certificate of the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company mentioned in the intelligence should be the unique item proving that the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company did indeed issue stock.

"Twenty years ago, someone was already willing to pay a million to acquire one. As a unique item, as long as it's hyped up a little, the price will skyrocket to the heavens!"

"In this situation, selling it off all at once is definitely not a good choice. It's better to hand it over to Jiawen Auction House to handle, and strive to auction it off at the highest price!"

The unique item of the first stock issued by the country's first joint-stock enterprise.

With such a big gimmick, Ye Su believed that the results of Jiawen Auction House's operation would definitely not disappoint him.

Compared to the astronomical price that will eventually be auctioned, Ye Su can accept the procedures and waiting time required for the auction.

"That's the plan."

After deciding how to handle this stock certificate, Ye Su rubbed his hands together and swiped to the next piece of intelligence.

[Weekly Intelligence (Level 7): Shangwei New Materials will be forced to suspend trading for verification by the Shanghai Stock Exchange on the evening of July 30th and will not resume trading until August 5th. On the day it resumes trading, it will hit another daily limit, setting a new high in stock price!]
