Chapter 328: Lan Qiyun Encounters Another Setback

After returning from the Lin family's home, Chen Yang called Zhu Zhu and asked if she was interested in investing in real estate in Shencheng. She immediately agreed.

This result was as Chen Yang had expected. However, Lin Wei was not very pleased.

"Honey, is Miss Zhu very pretty?"

"She's already in her thirties; even if you wanted to be jealous, you've got the wrong target," Chen Yang said, pinching Lin Wei's nose and then pulling her onto the bed.

The best place to resolve a marital dispute is in bed. Hence the saying, "quarrel at the bedhead, make up at the bedfoot."

After some foreplay, Lin Wei made a bold decision. "Honey, hasn't your luck always been good? Then today let's skip protection. If we conceive, I'll let you enjoy the taste of fatherhood early. If we don't, then don't mention continuing the family line for a year."

Chen Yang didn't hold out hope. The last time Lin Wei got drunk, he deliberately tampered, poking a hole in the condom. But so much time has passed and Lin Wei's belly shows no reaction at all.

So he guessed Lin Wei wasn't of an easily fertile constitution. Thinking that one or two attempts could accomplish the great plan of continuing the lineage is somewhat unrealistic.

Of course, Chen Yang didn't object. Since it's a gamble on luck, you have to take the bet to know the outcome. Even if Lin Wei still doesn't conceive, at least he can explain things to Chen Chunmei and Hu Qingwan.

To increase the odds of success, Chen Yang exerted himself fully that night, only falling asleep satisfied after being utterly exhausted.

Meanwhile, in another city of Dongjiangsheng, Yexin and Lan Qiyun again kicked into overtime mode at Wuyouju.

Yexin's account now holds 180 million US dollars, truly ample ammunition.

Previously, she and Lan Qiyun had believed the failure of the supermarket strategy was due to insufficient funds. So they tried the same method again in the domestic stock market. At first the results were poor, but gradually they discovered it could indeed maintain steady profits.

At this point, Yexin and Lan Qiyun's ambitions began to swell, and they decided to launch a counteroffensive in the US stock market.

Of course, after the previous loss, Lan Qiyun made some optimizations in stock selection. She removed the few stocks that had previously lost money and added a few she considered still promising.

Once the stock market opened, Lan Qiyun immediately began operating. She first increased positions in several stocks that had previously been profitable, then gradually bought in the stocks she deemed promising, again bringing the total to ten stocks.

Thereafter, Yexin and Lan Qiyun stared fixedly at the computer screen, waiting for stock prices to surge so they could reap the fruits of victory.

But after an hour passed, only one stock's price rose fifty cents, four stocks rose twenty cents each, three stocks held steady at their purchase price, and two stocks had been falling since purchase, already down a full dollar.

Lan Qiyun had invested five million dollars in each stock. In this situation, she not only made no money but lost 3.5 million dollars, which made her quite depressed.

"Sister Xin, why do the stocks my senior brother buys always make money, but mine don't work out for me?"

"You should ask your senior brother about that. I'm also clueless about US stocks." Yexin couldn't answer Lan Qiyun's question. Her English is average; for the stocks Lan Qiyun bought, aside from the price and trend charts, everything else is gibberish to her.

"Maybe we should just give up!" Lan Qiyun felt a bit discouraged. Clearly they had succeeded in experiments in the domestic stock market, buying similar types of stocks, so why doesn't it work in the American market……

Could it be that people's thinking in a capitalist society is different?

Then how does Chen Yang adapt to that environment?

Lan Qiyun racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.

Although Yexin lost 3.5 million dollars, she didn't feel sorry for it. After all, her net worth is now incomparable to before.

Based on the experience she gleaned from Mouyi stock, as long as Lan Qiyun's chosen stocks are sound, they will eventually rebound.

After all, Mouyi's stock had once undergone a lengthy volatile period, yet Chen Yang remained unaffected and finally reaped profits of several dozen times.

If so, why can't Yexin calm down and wait for the stock price to rebound?

"Xiao Lan, let's forget it for today! We'll ask Chen Yang tomorrow whether those two losing stocks need to be kept. If he thinks there's no need to hold them, selling later is still fine."

"Sister Xin, stock changes are unpredictable, and the US market operates on T+0 trading; a single night can bring many unforeseen events. Why don't you call now?"

Yexin gave Lan Qiyun a glance and said testily, "Your senior and senior schoolmates have reunited after a long separation; they're surely busy being affectionate. Calling them now, what good words could you get?"

Lan Qiyun's cheeks flushed slightly; she's still an unmarried young lady, so she wouldn't think along those lines.

However, Lan Qiyun is a person of strong discipline. Since she can't rely on Chen Yang for the time being, she should cut losses early.

So, without further ado, she directly sold off the two losing stocks.

Unexpectedly, not long after she sold the stocks, those two losing stocks began to rebound, eventually returning to their purchase price.

Lan Qiyun instantly felt the urge to dive into the computer and strike someone.

"Xiao Lan, you really need to learn more from Chen Yang in terms of temperament!" Yexin felt a bit regretful. She didn't mind the lost money, but thought Lan Qiyun was too young, lacking patience and confidence.

Clearly these were stocks she herself favored, yet she didn't give them full trust.

Compared to Chen Yang, who held onto Mouyi stock for over two months before selling, even though the stock price likewise experienced large swings during that period, they simply couldn't fool Chen Yang into exiting.

Therefore, she felt Lan Qiyun still needed to improve further.

Of course, this applies only to the US market. In the domestic market, Yexin is still quite satisfied with Lan Qiyun's performance.

"Sister Xin, maybe we should just leave it at that today!" Lan Qiyun suffered another setback in the US stock market, and her confidence in the supermarket strategy began to plummet sharply.

Yexin saw Lan Qiyun's poor condition and also didn't want to press her.

However, in the middle of the night, Lan Qiyun still couldn't resist, sneaking up to check the price movements of the stocks in her hand.

The result left her even more disappointed. Of the remaining eight stocks, only one was still in the red, while the other seven had fallen. Total losses had already exceeded ten million dollars.

In just one night she lost over eighty million RMB, and Lan Qiyun grew so despondent she almost doubted life itself. How long would she have to operate in the domestic market to recoup those losses!

To prevent further losses, Lan Qiyun quickly hammered the keyboard, preparing to continue cutting the remaining stocks.

Just as she began operating, the computer's power was directly pulled out by Yexin.
