Chapter 577: US stocks also crashed

After returning to the hotel, Xiao Jian and the bodyguards from Xingcheng also came over.

Chen Yang had Xiao Jian stay in the same suite as him, while the other four bodyguards from Xingcheng stayed in the suite next door.

Although Xiao Jian used to be Hu Lao Yezi's man, his performance has been good since following Chen Yang. Earlier he had been protecting Su Mingyue's real-estate investments in Shencheng, and recently he has been staying by Zhao Xiaoxiao's side as her driver and bodyguard.

Market expansion in Shencheng is very important for the ordinary people's agricultural products trading company. If it weren't for meeting Chu Ning, that little witch, Chen Yang wouldn't have wanted Xiao Jian to come to Yangcheng.

As for those four bodyguards from Xingcheng, they were retired soldiers introduced by Chen Bing, and they are quite capable. When Chen Yang first came to Yangcheng, he only brought two of them. When Shen Anna returned to Xingcheng, he had them follow her back.

This time he called them all over, also to guard against any new accidents.

Yangcheng is bigger than Xingcheng, and all kinds of social relations will only be more complicated. If something happens again, it may not be someone as reasonable as Chu Ning's brother.

After a day of being worn out, Chen Yang was physically and mentally exhausted; he took a shower and then turned off his phone and went to sleep.

However, after only sleeping until 1 a. m., he was awakened by Xiao Jian's knocking. Only then did he learn that it was that crazy woman Chu Ning who had come over.

"Chu Miss, are you that idle? It's so late and you're not sleeping, running over here to disturb people's sweet dreams."

"Chen Yang, what do you mean? Luosen's account made money that day. My account, you didn't even move a finger!" Chu Ning's voice was agitated. She had been unable to eat or sleep at home, waiting for Chen Yang's good news. When it got past twelve, she found her US stock account showed no change at all. Thinking Chen Yang was playing her like a fool, she flew into a rage and rushed to the hotel where he was staying to confront him.

Chen Yang had already figured out her temperament, had Xiao Jian pour her a cup of plain water, and then calmly said: "Chu Miss, since you've handed over your account to me, when to operate and how to operate—you have to listen to me."

"If you can't even wait a day, you might as well take your account back!"

Chu Ning said dissatisfiedly: "If you're not planning to operate today, you should have given me advance notice! You know how hard it's been for me waiting for your news."

Chen Yang said helplessly: "Miss, I never made you wait for news! Yesterday you wore me out all day, I'm exhausted too."

Upon hearing that, Chu Ning also realized she was at fault first, and her tone softened immediately. "Chen Yang, since you're awake now, go check the US stock market. I just want to feel what it's like to make money; otherwise I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight."

Chen Yang thought: Your insomnia is none of my business!

Most importantly, this woman is jinxed with the Heavenly Killer Lone Star fate—whoever she buys, the stock goes black. The domestic pharmaceutical sector has already been crashed by her; if the US stock market also crashes, Chen Yang will break down.

You should know, Chen Yang has a heavy position in US stocks!

"Chu Miss, why don't you go back to sleep first, and I'll let you know after I figure out which stock to buy."

"I'm not going back!" Chu Ning pouted and said: "If you don't go operate in the US stock market today, I'll stay here and not leave."

Chen Yang was speechless. He did want to drive her away, but after all this is her turf.

Left with no choice, he could only open the computer and log into Chu Ning's US stock account.

Today's US stock market is doing well; Chen Yang's Fruit Company stock rose another 7 points, and the share price has already gone up to $75.

This means Chen Yang's 73 million shares of Fruit Company stock have appreciated to $5.475 billion.

Doing nothing, just sitting at home waiting for assets to appreciate—this feeling is really great.

Chen Yang was basking in the joy of his rising assets when Chu Ning beside him suddenly pointed at the Fruit Company stock and shouted: "Chen Yang, you didn't invest in this stock, did you? It's rising so well—why not just help me buy it too!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the upward trend of Fruit Company's stock came to an abrupt halt!

Chen Yang's face changed instantly; he instinctively snapped at Chu Ning: "Miss, can't you just shut up?"

Just to be safe, Chen Yang immediately closed Chu Ning's account and switched to his own. After the switch succeeded, his hands flew as he kept placing orders to sell Fruit Company stock.

After an hour of operation, he finally dumped all his shares at an average price of $70.

After he sold his shares, Fruit Company's stock continued to drift downward slowly, falling all the way to $60 before the decline stopped.

From $75 down to $60, the drop reached twenty percent. The power of the financial poison is indeed not to be underestimated.

Chen Yang was not willing to give up on Fruit Company stock so quickly; he put on a solemn face and told Chu Ning: "Chu Miss, from now on you must not say a word. Just watch me operate—otherwise I'll have to ask you to leave this room."

Having witnessed the power of her own words causing immediate effect, Chu Ning immediately covered her mouth with both hands.

Seeing her cooperation, Chen Yang immediately placed a quick buy order for Fruit Company stock. In the end, before market close, he repurchased 70.3 million shares at an average price of $63.

And Fruit Company's stock closed at $66.

This round-trip left Chen Yang's stock $146 million below today's high, but compared to the opening price he still made $220 million.

Most importantly, with the share count unchanged, Chen Yang's account now has an extra $510 million in usable funds—this is the real profit!

"Chen Yang, your operation is really awesome!" Chu Ning had been holding her breath watching him operate; after the market closed, she could no longer contain her inner excitement and hugged Chen Yang, happily celebrating.

She had always thought her "financial poison" curse was unbreakable. She never expected that Chen Yang's maneuver would easily dispel that curse.

Although he didn't stop the stock price from falling, the $220 million profit in Chen Yang's account was crystal clear to her.

In one night she earned 18.2 billion RMB! This is a miraculous phenomenon Chu Ning has never seen since birth.

She had always thought her ex-boyfriend was a top-notch stock‑trading expert, but compared to Chen Yang he's just a petty witch seeing a great witch!

"Chen Yang, do you take apprentices? Will you teach me how to trade stocks?"

"Pfft, nonsense—let go of me, men and women shouldn't be intimate!" Chen Yang's physiological reaction to being hugged by Chu Ning flared up again. He realized this woman really pays no attention to her image. Between them there's not only a gender difference, their relationship isn't good either—is it really necessary to be so affectionate?

Upon hearing that, Chu Ning immediately let go of her hands. But she soon reverted to her former spoiled self: "Chen Yang, if you won't teach me to trade stocks, I'll keep hounding you. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, it'll be useless."

"Do as you like, anyway I won't teach you." Having witnessed Chu Ning's terrifying ability to make things happen just by speaking, Chen Yang had already secretly sworn in his heart: as long as this woman is present, he will absolutely never touch the stock market again.
