Chapter 183: The Agreement with Ouyang Sheng

"Chen Yang, is the stock we should focus on next Little Goose Shares?"

After selling the Little Goose Shares stock, Chen Yang continued to sell Yunsheng Bio stock. This left Su Mingyue, who held no shares, feeling empty again.

"No, I have to leave as soon as Little Goose Shares opens on Monday." Chen Yang hung up a sell order while explaining to Su Mingyue: "Zhuo Wenyuan wants to prove he can help Zhang Jun and them make money, so after next Monday's opening he will definitely take profits first. They hold more shares than I do; if they are slow, their profit will be much less."

Su Mingyue didn't quite understand Chen Yang's behavior. "Since you want to lure Zhang Jun in, why not let him earn a bit more?"

Chen Yang smiled at her: "You wouldn't understand this. The feeling of gaining then losing is what hurts most. Seeing the money about to be pocketed suddenly shrink, they will agonize, regret, and then develop more complex emotions."

Su Mingyue immediately understood Chen Yang's meaning, because she had once been trapped in such a state and unable to extricate herself.

In Su Mingyue's eyes, the stock market was like a deep sea full of magic and temptation, attracting countless adventurers to dive in. Only a short four hours could make those inside experience countless ups and downs of emotional journeys.

Sometimes ecstatic, as if standing at the peak of wealth; sometimes terrified, feeling as if instantly plunging into a bottomless abyss; sometimes anxious and uneasy, worrying about future trends; sometimes full of hope, expecting a turnaround at any moment… These complex and changing emotions, like surging waves, hit investors' mental defenses one after another.

"Then I can just lie low again next week." Su Mingyue sighed regretfully; Chen Yang was going empty, so she had to follow suit. Although she had already had one successful trading experience, without Chen Yang supervising her nearby, she still dared not act rashly.

"You can go work at my new company; I'll give you a director's seat—how prestigious!"

"No way!" Su Mingyue immediately rejected Chen Yang's suggestion. She felt the workplace was too complicated; although she was diligently doing her job, she was always suspected of rising through backdoor deals.

Chen Yang saw she had no interest at all, and stopped pressing. After all, everyone has the life they want to live; you can't force it.

Yunsheng Bio's stock didn't change much today. Qi Yunxiang was busy handling Xingcheng Heavy Industry and Little Goose Shares stocks; the shares here were still held. So, after opening today it rose three points, from 22 yuan to 22.66 yuan.

However, after Chen Yang and Su Mingyue took turns selling off shares, the price gradually fell again. In the end, they sold the remaining two million shares of local Yunsheng Bio stock at an average price of 22 yuan.

Chen Yang's one million shares earned another 5.724 million yuan. Adding the shares sold earlier, the total profit over these days is 15.89 million yuan.

Because he bought two million shares of Little Goose Shares, Chen Yang's account still has 186.54 million yuan left.

"Director Chen, how long are you planning to stay empty this time?" Qi Yunxiang's phone rang again. Whenever Chen Yang's account has any trading activity, he will check in at set times. Chen Yang is used to it.

"We'll see! If there's a suitable stock or market condition, I'll go back in for a look."

"Okay, then have a great weekend!" Qi Yunxiang greatly admired Chen Yang; his stock reads are always spot-on, and he always times his entry perfectly. Most importantly, following his stock picks always yields profit.

Therefore, Qi Yunxiang usually coordinates with Chen Yang's actions. He only makes a move after Chen Yang has finished buying and selling the shares in his account.

After Chen Yang finished selling his shares, he began packing his luggage to return to Qingshui.

Zhao Qian drove her BMW to school herself. Shen Anna then bought Chen Yang an Audi A6 as his new car.

Before departing, Chen Yang first called Shen Anna to give a heads‑up, so she wouldn't call him for a meeting on the weekend.

But Shen Anna told Chen Yang to also bring Ouyang Sheng back to Qingshui.

"Anna sis, did this kid cause trouble?"

"No, he feels Xingcheng's development space is too narrow and wants to go to Qingshui to open up new territory."

Chen Yang was speechless; Ouyang Sheng had only just come out of training a few days ago, with zero practical experience, and yet he refuses to settle for being subordinate?

Of course, Chen Yang could also guess Ouyang Sheng's motive for returning to Qingshui. Because most of Xingcheng's resources had already been seized by Wang Ziqiang moving in first, while Qingshui City not only has abundant developable resources but also his family's powerful connections.

With connections in the court, Ouyang Sheng's choice to develop wasteland in Qingshui would certainly be easier than in Xingcheng.

Chen Yang drove to the company entrance to pick up Ouyang Sheng, and found this guy had brought a lot of stuff—cigarettes, alcohol, and some special products not available in Qingshui.

Chen Yang saw that the cigarettes and alcohol he bought were ordinary local Xingcheng goods, so he drove to Xingcheng International Shopping Center and bought him a case of Feitian Moutai and a case of Zhonghua.

"Boss, I haven't created any value for the company yet—this gift is too heavy, isn't it?" Ouyang Sheng felt a bit embarrassed. Chen Yang had been taking good care of him all this while, arranging his treatment perfectly in every aspect. Yet he has achieved nothing so far.

Chen Yang told him: "Since you're going back to develop wasteland, you need some good cigarettes and alcohol. I consider this advance preparation of provisions for the front lines. Once you achieve results, the company can reimburse your subsequent entertainment expenses."

Ouyang Sheng was somewhat impressed with Chen Yang—even though he is two years younger, he sees through worldly affairs more clearly.

"Boss, rest assured, I will definitely make Qingshui City's business larger than Xingcheng's."

Chen Yang laughed: "I'm not trying to pour cold water on you. Even if you max out all the district and county business in Qingshui City, it still wouldn't surpass Xingcheng."

Ouyang Sheng didn't believe him: "If I make Qingshui City's performance better than Xingcheng's, what reward will you give me?"

Chen Yang patted the Audi steering wheel in his hand and told Ouyang Sheng: "If you can get Qingshui City's performance up to half of Xingcheng's within a year, this car will be your reward."

"Really? Then give me a written pledge." Ouyang Sheng's eyes flashed with excitement; he immediately took out paper and pen from his briefcase and asked Chen Yang to write him a pledge.

Chen Yang hadn't expected him to be so direct; he stared for a moment, then wrote a simple reward pledge. After finishing, the guy produced a box of ink paste.

"Hehe, Manager Wang said that only after pressing a handprint does it have legal effect."

"Fine, being ready to sign a contract at any moment shows your training wasn't wasted." Chen Yang nonchalantly pressed his handprint, then went on to praise him profusely.

Ouyang Sheng carefully put away Chen Yang's reward pledge while promising: "Boss, rest assured, by this time next year that car will definitely be mine."

Chen Yang thought Ouyang Sheng was a bit overly idealistic. But for now he couldn't dampen his morale, so he told him: "As long as you put in the effort, even if you don't meet the target, I'll still give you other rewards."

Ouyang Sheng didn't take it well, saying confidently: "If I, Ouyang Sheng, am going to do something, I'll do it to be the best in the whole company." After saying that, he specifically reminded Chen Yang: "Boss, drive carefully these days—don't wreck your car."

Chen Yang: "……"
