Chapter 224: Additional Investment

"My personal stock account will be empty for a while; from now on I'll only use the company account to trade short-term." Chen Yang, after careful thought, decided to change his past stock-trading mode.

"The company's account only has 130 million yuan available for use—isn't that a bit little?" Huang BaiMing, hearing Chen Yang wanted to quit personal-account stock trading, didn't quite understand.

Chen Yang disagreed with Huang BaiMing's view, saying: "130 million isn't little. When I first entered the stock market, I also only had 60 million, and I could still earn several hundred million."

"Moreover, using the company account to trade stocks, whenever I enter or exit the market, our interests are tied together. You wouldn't have so many complaints as you do now."

"I'm just venting a bit; I'm not really angry at you." Huang BaiMing guessed Chen Yang was angry and hurried to explain.

Chen Yang said: "Whether you're really angry or not doesn't matter. What's important is that I think this model is most beneficial for our future cooperation."

"But this amount of money is really too little, unless we all keep making additional investments." Huang BaiMing, accustomed to feasting on fish and meat, suddenly having to go back to a life of radishes and cabbage, found it hard to accept.

Chen Yang also understood his feelings, so he said: "If you feel the current fund's profit is too low, you can make additional investments. Later we can redistribute shares according to capital contribution."

"Then I'll add another 100 million." Upon hearing that capital could be increased, Huang BaiMing made the decision without hesitation.

"I'll also add another 100 million." After being tricked once by Zhuo Wenyuan, Yexin this time chose to unconditionally trust Chen Yang.

"Then I'll add another 100 million too!" Zhao Feiyang, seeing Huang BaiMing and Yexin both make additional investments, didn't want to fall behind.

Seeing they were all willing to increase investment, Chen Yang immediately declared: "Since you each add another 100 million, our company's total registered capital will become 500 million. Distributing shares according to contribution ratio, you each get thirty percent, and I get ten percent."

Yexin, Huang BaiMing, and Zhao Feiyang, hearing this, all looked at Chen Yang doubtfully. After a while, Yexin asked: "You little punk, aren't you going to add investment too?"

Chen Yang explained: "My trading company recently needs to expand its physical industry scale, possibly requiring more investment. To avoid a cash-flow crunch, I temporarily don't plan to add investment here."

Yexin already understood from Shen Anna the future prospects of the common people's agricultural products trading company, and expressed understanding. "Let's do as Chen Yang said! After we sell the Liu Clan Group's stock, we'll transfer the needed capital for expansion to the company account."

Huang BaiMing and Zhao Feiyang were eager to get a larger share of the profits, so they naturally had no objections.

Chen Yang pondered a moment, then added: "Our company actually doesn't have to focus only on the domestic stock market; we can also open US and Hong Kong stock accounts. When the domestic market is unfavorable, we can also seek opportunities in the US and HK markets."

"This proposal is excellent!" Yexin, as one of the first beneficiaries of US stocks, naturally raised both hands in approval of Chen Yang's suggestion.

"If the company can open US stock accounts, that would be awesome!" Over the past few days, Huang BaiMing and Zhao Feiyang, following Yexin, also witnessed the frenzy of US stocks. Seeing Chen Yang and Yexin earn several hundred million overnight made them envious, as if a cat's claws were scratching their hearts.

At this moment, Huang BaiMing and Zhao Feiyang even saw a world paved with gold beckoning to them.

After reaching consensus, Yexin and the others returned to Shining Star Financial Investment Company to prepare for the afternoon's stock shipment.

After Chen Yang reminded them to watch the pacing, he directly drove home to take a nap.

When he slept until three o'clock, Qi Yunxiang's call came.

"President Chen, before the market closed, someone dumped Liu Clan Group's stock—have you been paying attention?"

"No, if you hadn't called, I'd still be asleep!" Chen Yang didn't need to guess; he knew it was Yexin and the others selling off. But with Qi Yunxiang, he couldn't be frank.

Because if Qi Yunxiang learned the truth, he would surely join the selling frenzy without hesitation. And if Liu Clan Group's capital outflow were too abnormal, it would definitely trigger panic, and the stock price would plummet as well.

"Then can you analyze how much upside potential Liu Clan Group still has?" Qi Yunxiang now couldn't make up his mind. He wanted to leave, but the investors behind him wanted to reap more. So, seeing a large capital outflow at the close, he hesitated a moment and didn't have time to follow up.

Chen Yang advised him: "President Qi, you've already earned plenty of profit. If you're uneasy, you can first sell a portion."

Seeing Chen Yang's opinion matched his own, Qi Yunxiang immediately made up his mind. He then asked Chen Yang: "President Chen, when do you think I should sell my shares for the best outcome?"

To avoid Qi Yunxiang clashing with Yexin and the others, Chen Yang suggested: "Today's close saw a plunge; tomorrow after opening, there will likely be a period of volatility. If you want to maximize profit, it's best to wait until market sentiment stabilizes before selling your shares."

"Will you be shipping out tomorrow?" Qi Yunxiang's main concern was Chen Yang's attitude toward Liu Clan Group's stock. If Chen Yang didn't plan to stay, he would withdraw completely.

"I currently have no plan to sell shares." Chen Yang answered quite frankly this time. As a leading tech company, Liu Clan Group, having emerged from its slump, would not see a large pullback.

Moreover, they have recently dumped a lot of shares. The new incoming capital also wouldn't allow the stock to plummet sharply.

Upon hearing Chen Yang had no intention to keep selling shares, Qi Yunxiang's mental burden lifted. After thanking him, he hung up and went to prepare for tomorrow's stock shipment.

Chen Yang, no longer sleepy, opened his computer to check Liu Clan Group's stock price, finding it had dropped to 19.5. Yexin and the others hadn't controlled the pacing well, and the stock price once plunged sharply. Fortunately, the incoming capital was also substantial, forcing the price back up somewhat.

Regarding this, Chen Yang couldn't be bothered to call and remind them.

Because human nature is like that. When faced with their own interests, everyone wants to take a little extra advantage.

Once their thoughts aren't unified, disagreements will arise in execution. What should have been a sell order at 20.22, someone would directly post at 20.21. Or what should have been a 1,000-lot sell order, someone would post 2,000 lots or even more.

When the rhythm falls apart, market sentiment follows suit.

This is the result of profits not being evenly divided.

Fortunately, Qi Yunxiang hesitated; otherwise, it would likely have created a limit-down board.

The reason Chen Yang made up his mind to let Yexin and the others trade stocks using the company account was precisely to avoid today's close‑time disagreement in buying and selling stocks.

To have them operate the stocks according to his rhythm, he must first bind their interests together.
