Chapter 219: Twenty Million Dollar Investment Agency

Having had enough fun and enough shopping, and with his US and Hong Kong stock accounts also opened, Chen Yang discussed it with Lin Wei and planned to return early on Sunday.

After all, during the National Day holiday, many people come to Hong Kong to sightsee, popular tourist spots are packed, and staying an extra day wouldn't be much fun.

Upon hearing that Chen Yang planned to leave early, Guo Jin specially had two cars sent to see him off.

On the way to the border checkpoint, Guo Jin drove and said to Chen Yang, "Boss Chen, my friend who borrowed money from you also wants to invest a little in the stock market. I don't know if you're interested in acting as her agent; she's willing to give a ten percent commission."

Chen Yang wasn't keen on helping others trade stocks, after all the risks are unpredictable and losses easily offend people. But Guo Jin's friend is his creditor, theoretically also his benefactor; refusing would be hard to justify.

So Chen Yang told Guo Jin, "Manager Guo, you can have your friend buy some Mouyi stock; there should still be plenty of profit in the short term."

Guo Jin sighed, a bit embarrassed, and said, "My friend's family forbids its members from trading stocks. If they find out she's trading, they'll revoke her inheritance rights."

Chen Yang hadn't expected that even wealthy families in Hong Kong would forbid stock trading; he was a bit surprised. After thinking, he said, "Since she can't trade stocks herself, you can act as her agent! After all, you're both in Hong Kong, your relationship is close, and any matters can be easily discussed."

Guo Jin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Boss Chen, don't laugh at me—I'm actually a veteran stock trader myself. I've traded stocks for ten years and lost a hundred thousand US dollars. If it weren't for your help, I'd still be stuck in there. At my level, even if I dared to take on this agency, my friend wouldn't agree."

"No problem!" Chen Yang told Guo Jin, "Just buy the Mouyi stock directly, and I'll call you when it's time to sell."

Guo Jin still shook his head. "Boss Chen, I really lack confidence! Better you act as her agent. As long as she makes money, I won't short you a single cent of the commission."

Chen Yang hadn't expected that Guo Jin would refuse an easy money-making opportunity; he could only reluctantly agree. "How much does she plan to invest? Let's agree first—more capital means greater risk. I can't guarantee she'll make a hundred percent profit."

Guo Jin said, "She plans to invest twenty million US dollars. As long as you sign the agency agreement, she'll transfer the money straight into your HSBC bank account." After saying that, he pulled the car over to the side of the road, took out an investment agency contract and a pen from his briefcase, and handed them to Chen Yang.

After carefully reviewing the contract and finding no "traps", Chen Yang signed his name.

Seeing Chen Yang sign, Guo Jin hastily clasped his fists in thanks. "Boss Chen, thank you—you've helped me out again."

Chen Yang waved his hand and teased, "Don't you regret missing such a great money-making opportunity?"

Guo Jin laughed, "I'm a firm believer in fate. I'll strive for the money that's meant for me; money not meant for me won't move me, even if it's right in front of me."

Chen Yang gave him a thumbs-up. Truly few people in this world can control their desires; such people are worth making deep friends with.

After arriving at the border checkpoint, Guo Jin helped Lin Wei and the others put down their luggage before driving back.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang and Lin Wei, after finishing tax clearance and entering, parted ways with Liu Qingqing and Su Mingyue.

Liu Qingqing was going to stay at her father's place for two days, and Su Mingyue naturally accompanied her.

Chen Yang and Chen Yang took a taxi directly to the airport, then flew back to Xingcheng from there.

After arriving in Xingcheng, Yexin and Shen Anna were already waiting at the airport pickup area. Seeing Chen Yang and Lin Wei carrying big and small bags, Yexin immediately asked eagerly, "Where's my gift?"

Chen Yang had never seen someone so proactively ask for a gift before; he found it both funny and exasperating. Fortunately, Lin Wei had prepared in advance, giving Yexin and Shen Anna each a latest-model Givenchy handbag.

Yexin was very pleased with Lin Wei's choice. "Lin Wei really knows I like handbags."

Seeing her only praise Lin Wei, Chen Yang replied unhappily, "You only know her good points; don't forget I paid for this bag."

Yexin laughed, "It's only natural for women to spend men's money. You earn so much; if you don't let Lin Wei spend it, are you planning to keep a mistress?"

"Can't you hope for something good for us?" Chen Yang gave her a sideways glance, having taken the benefit yet still speaking ill of her—he really deserved a beating.

"Hehe, men turn bad when they have money; I'm just giving you a warning." Seeing Chen Yang look tense, Yexin laughed happily.

Chen Yang couldn't be bothered with her, turned to Shen Anna and said, "Anna sis, I met a Hong Kong merchant doing agricultural product import-export trade on Hong Kong Island this time. Is our business preparing to develop in foreign trade?"

Shen Anna nodded. "Once the market here in East River matures, our company's next step will be to engage in foreign trade. Not just Hong Kong; I've already contacted my father in the Beautiful Country to look for related import-export merchants."

Chen Yang was very pleased with Shen Anna's foresight; he took out Zou Tianyou's business card from his bag and handed it to her. "This is the contact number of that Hong Kong merchant; get in touch with him when you have time."

"Sure!" Shen Anna took the business card casually, then added, "The red envelope you gave Chen Bing—he returned it, saying you've already given plenty and he can't accept more."

Seeing Chen Bing refuse the money, Chen Yang didn't say anything else; as long as the sentiment had been conveyed, that was enough. Moreover, Lin Wei had also bought gifts for the couple. After putting the luggage away at home, they still had to make a trip to Sunshine Garden Community.

However, on the way home from the airport, Yexin started bringing up the stock matter again.

"Chen Yang, we should sell some of the Mouyi stock! Even just recouping half the principal would be fine."

"Elder sister, where has your usual boldness gone? The stock only rose for one day and you can't sit still."

"Hey, it's risen far too much. I've followed Zhuo Wenyuan and others in stock trading for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such high profits!"

"If you can't even tolerate this small gain, you might as well stay honestly in the domestic stock market—the US market really isn't suited for you."

"Hmph, what do you know? This is taking profits when you're ahead, being content and happy."

"Hehe, if you understood contentment, you wouldn't have me buying US stocks for you."

"Heartless, I've helped you so much—can't you even help me trade a stock?"

"Fine, fine, fine—but since you're letting me act as your stock agent, you have to listen to me. Otherwise, after Monday's market opens, I'll sell all of your stocks."

"Hmph, you dare?"

At that moment, Chen Yang suddenly received a text message on his phone. Upon opening it, he saw that his HSBC bank account had gained another twenty million US dollars.

"Look at their vision—it's already up 1.75 times, yet they dare to enter the market. Just look at your measly prospects!"
