Chapter 679: Chu Min's Secret
After two hours of discussion, Chen Yang finally chose to invest ten billion together with Xuehua Real Estate to develop the real estate project in Pudong New Area.
As the person in charge of Laobaixing Financial Investment Company in Modu, Chu Min will take full responsibility for the follow-up work.
However, just as they were about to part, Wu Jing called out to Chen Yang again.
"General Manager Chen, I also have some funds abroad. Do you think Google's stock still has investment value?"
Chen Yang wasn't surprised that Wu Jing would consult him about Google's stock. After all, the headlines in Modu over the past two days have been about his stock trading in the US market.
And as a future strategic partner in business, he didn't mind offering his own opinions.
"President Wu, according to my forecast, Google's stock will break through the one-thousand-dollar mark within ten years. But if you lack the patience to wait until that day, it's better not to pay attention. Because in value investing, the hardest part to endure is the climb to the top."
Wu Jing, hearing this, said in an incredulous tone: "A stock at four hundred dollars is already outrageous, yet you still think it can rise to one thousand dollars. Are you saying that people in the Beautiful Country are all extremely wealthy and willful?"
Chen Yang also guessed he wouldn't believe it. In fact, before his rebirth, he didn't believe it either, but ultimately reality slapped him in the face.
"President Wu, I'm just stating my personal opinion. If you think it's inappropriate, just treat it as a joke after tea and meals."
Wu Jing really didn't believe Google's stock price could rise to one thousand dollars, but Chen Yang's legend in the stock market is known to all. Still, he couldn't resist the urge to take a gamble.
"General Manager Chen, since you're optimistic about Google's stock and think it can rise further, I'll go ahead and give it a try."
What Chen Yang worries about is his attitude of just giving it a try; if any change occurs, he's easily swayed.
To be safe, he kindly reminded Wu Jing: "President Wu, Google's stock is currently very hot. Getting in now carries a high risk of being trapped. It would be better to wait for the company to release negative news, when its stock price drops sharply, before entering to build a position."
"This way, not only can we avoid being trapped at a short-term high, but we can also minimize investment costs to the greatest extent."
Wu Jing repeatedly expressed his thanks upon hearing this. If Chen Yang hadn't reminded him, he would have definitely bought Google's stock outright upon returning. Since there's a possibility of a pullback, he's naturally willing to wait a bit longer.
"Director Chen, do you have any recommendations for domestic stocks?" After Wu Jing left with his female secretary, Wang Lei also couldn't help asking Chen Yang about the stock market situation.
Chen Yang hadn't paid attention to the domestic stock market for a long time, but he still had confidence in his own company's stock. He immediately said to Wang Lei: "General Manager Wang, if you're not worried about our company's stock price being too high, you can appropriately buy some shares. If nothing unexpected happens, our company's annual financial report will give the outside world a big surprise."
Wang Lei had also been keeping an eye on the stock of ST Tianqi, always feeling it was odd. Although it's an ST stock, it has the highest gain in the entire pharmaceutical sector. Moreover, most of the time its limit-up factors are unrelated to pharmaceuticals. Whenever any positive news related to Chen Yang comes out, ST Tianqi's stock can surge greatly.
For this reason, Wang Lei missed the entire process of ST Tianqi's stock price soaring.
Now Chen Yang tells him that Tianqi Pharmaceutical's performance is excellent, so he definitely can't hesitate any longer.
"Director Chen, thanks for the reminder. I've decided to put all my wealth on the line and give it a shot."
Chen Yang didn't expect Wang Lei's gambling tendency to be so great; he warned with some concern: "General Manager Wang, the risks in the stock market are huge; you'd better keep a retreat for yourself."
"No problem!" Wang Lei said dismissively: "If I really have bad luck and lose everything, I'll just honestly go home and inherit the family business."
Chen Yang immediately fell silent. Since Wang Lei's family is wealthy, he had no reason to worry further.
After returning to the hotel, Chen Yang asked Chu Ning a question that had been on his mind.
"Dear, is your sister's marriage to Zhu YunChuan an arranged family match?"
"Pretty much!" Chu Ning said to Chen Yang: "My great-uncle and Zhu YunChuan's father were comrades in the army. When my sister was very young, they had already agreed to a childhood engagement."
Chen Yang wasn't surprised by this; such plots often appear on TV. What he really wondered was, since both families are aristocratic and Chu Min has agreed to this marriage, why hasn't Zhu YunChuan been allowed to touch her for two years…
"Dear, could it be that your sister doesn't like men?"
"Well, my sister does indeed have some resistance to men." Chu Ning sighed: "When she was in her early teens, she was once kidnapped. Although my grandfather soon sent people to rescue her, ever since then, whenever she sees a strange man, she instinctively resists."
Chen Yang merely speculated that Chu Min had homosexual tendencies, but he didn't expect her to actually reject men. After thinking a bit, however, he felt something didn't quite add up.
"Dear, if your sister rejects strange men, why do I see her getting along well with Wang Lei and Wu Jing?"
Chu Ning explained: "Those are actually just her putting on an act. If it's just the two of them alone, it's different. My former brother-in-law is a good example."
Chen Yang still had doubts, so he asked Chu Ning again: "Why was your sister so enthusiastic when she first met me?"
Chu Ning fell silent after Chen Yang's reminder. After a while, she said: "Could it be because you're my boyfriend, she doesn't worry that you have designs on her, so she let her guard down?"
Chen Yang earnestly reminded her: "Dear, we hadn't made our relationship public at that time!"
Chu Ning fell silent again.
Seeing Chu Ning not speak, Chen Yang added: "Dear, how about we go back to Xingcheng tomorrow?"
Chu Ning gave Chen Yang an annoyed glance and said sharply: "What are you afraid of? Could it be that she'll try to steal me from you? Or is it that you can't resist temptation and your true nature is showing?"
Chen Yang merely wanted to avoid Chu Min, but he didn't expect Chu Ning to misunderstand him. Annoyed, he firmly smacked her butt.
"Idiot, if I really had something with Chu Min, would I be telling you all this? Besides, she's crazier than you—I couldn't handle it."
Chu Ning narrowed her eyes, glared at Chen Yang menacingly, and said: "You dare call me crazy? Then tonight I'll show you just how crazy I am." She then lunged and pushed Chen Yang onto the bed.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Chu Min coldly watched Wang Lei, who had suddenly appeared at her hotel door, with a hint of impatience.
"Wang Lei, I've already told you: there's no possibility between us. Why do you keep insisting?"
"Wang Lei, let me tell you a secret: I'm actually homosexual!"
"This…… how is that possible……"
"What's impossible about it? If I weren't homosexual, how many guts would Zhu YunChuan have to dare cheat?"
What's impossible? If I weren't homosexual, how much nerve would Zhu Yunchuan have to dare cheat?
"……"
