Chapter 741: Value Investment

Yexin, buy a little less, we can't carry all this.

No way, if we don't spend a bit more of that guy's money today, he'll end up spending it all on other women later.

Then buying so much is useless!

How is it useless? I can change one each day, never repeating.

……

At the Capital City International Trade Mall, Yexin bustled back and forth among the luxury brand boutiques, while Shen Anna and Lan Qiyun followed behind her, exhausted, their hands full of shopping bags.

The cause of Yexin's revenge spending was a phone call from Chen Yang summoning Shen Anna back to Xingcheng ahead of schedule.

We agreed on a one-month vacation, but she bailed after only two-thirds of the time had passed.

What infuriated Yexin most was that, the day before that call, they had just finished the transfer procedures for the commercial building plot Chen Yang wanted. This meant Shen Anna's vacation was actually just a pure business trip!

To vent Shen Anna's frustration, she decided to make Chen Yang bleed heavily.

However, compared to the energetic Yexin, Shen Anna and Lan Qiyun's interest was noticeably low.

Lan Qiyun is a homebody herself, shuttling only between company and home each day; aside from cosmetics, she has few demands for her attire.

Moreover, her stock clients shower her with bundles of brand-name cosmetics, bags, and clothing every holiday. To store these gifts, the first thing she did upon arriving in the capital city was buy a detached villa over four hundred square meters.

As for Shen Anna, as president of the Common People Agricultural Products Trading Company, she receives more gifts from clients each year than Lan Qiyun does. To keep her living space from getting too crowded, she directly passes on many unusable gifts to other company executives.

By contrast, Yexin, who had just been released from prison, harbored a stronger craving for these luxury goods, as if she were determined to reclaim everything she had lost over the past two-plus years.

This drive only faded after they each had their hands full of luxury-brand shopping bags.

After stashing the loot back in the car, they entered an upscale Western restaurant.

"Anna, you should thank me for recommending Chen Yang to you. In just a few years, the power, status, and wealth that many people dream of are all yours." Yexin said while ordering, boasting of her eye for talent to Shen Anna.

Shen Anna earnestly agreed: "My boss is truly a monster. Though he comes from a lowly background and had limited education, he seems omnipotent. He's invested in so many projects—many I didn't think would work—but they all succeeded."

Yexin laughed upon hearing that: "Even my military advisor in prison admires this guy's business instinct. Before I got out, she told me: 'Anything Chen Yang invests in, you can follow blindly.'"

"So, after arriving in the capital city, the first thing I did was pull out half of my funds to buy shares in Fruit Company and Moutai Company."

Saying this, she deliberately pointed at Lan Qiyun and smiled at Shen Anna: "This girl initially objected, constantly urging me not to buy too much Moutai Company stock at a high price. Now Moutai's stock has doubled. Based on the current trend, I expect it to rise further."

Lan Qiyun's cheeks flushed slightly at the words. She sighed helplessly: "I never imagined the power of belief could be so strong. Seeing senior hold his position without moving, those retail investors rushed to buy Moutai Company stock. They didn't realize senior was using company funds to trade, while they were using their own money. If the stock becomes overvalued, the risk they bear is far greater than his."

Yexin gave her a sideways glance: "Two listed companies have tens of billions in funds backing them—how could those retail investors possibly be scared? Moreover, Moutai is the national liquor, representing the nation's face. Even if the stock is overvalued, it will only slightly dampen enthusiasm; it will absolutely not cause a major crash."

Lan Qiyun looked at Shen Anna with curiosity: "Anna sis, senior has put so much funds into Moutai Company's stock—does the board have any objections?"

Shen Anna laughed: "There were objections, but most of the board are our own people, so opposing is useless. Besides, the finance department later conducted a detailed due diligence on Moutai Company, and all the data came out positive. Those shareholders naturally have no objections."

Lan Qiyun fell silent at once. She had thought Chen Yang only excelled at short-term trading, but she hadn't expected that from Fruit Company to Heavenly Launch Pharmaceutical, then to Moutai Company, every one of his choices would succeed.

Especially Fruit Company: Chen Yang not only reaped great profits from its stock, but also used it as a bridge to establish a long-term cooperation with them.

Thus, the stock of the Common People Agricultural Products Trading Company will continue to rise sharply.

You know, since its listing, the Common People's stock price has remained in an uptrend, already reaching over seventy. And Chen Yang's domestic assets have also multiplied several times over.

Although it seems he has distanced himself from the stock market, he has actually been influencing it through his actions all along.

This senior is truly a monster!

Lan Qiyun suddenly made up her mind: after returning, she will also buy more shares of the Common People Agricultural Products Trading Company and Moutai Company.

Short-term trading is too taxing on the brain; she now wants to follow Chen Yang's path of value investing, just like him.

After lunch, Yexin and Lan Qiyun saw Shen Anna off at the airport. At the moment of parting, Yexin hugged Shen Anna tightly.

"Anna, wait for me in Xingcheng. Before long, I will surely return to reclaim what is rightfully mine."

Shen Anna nodded. Since some things cannot be stopped, all she can do is accompany.

Meanwhile, as Shen Anna returned to Xingcheng, Chen Yang was in the office of the Common People Financial Investment Company discussing the promotion plan for the game *Extreme Speed Racing* with Wang Lei, who had just come back from overseas negotiations.

After successfully securing the game usage rights from major automakers, *Extreme Speed Racing* can finally enter the closed‑test phase.

These past few days, Chen Yang personally tried out the game; it felt not bad. Although the early character and prop designs are rough, the game's playability is very high.

It not only has multiplayer battle modes, but also features many single‑player dungeons designed to let new players get up to speed quickly.

More importantly, the game runs very smoothly; a single server can support over a thousand players online simultaneously.

"Director Chen, based on the company's past game promotion experience, we should first contact those popular gaming websites online. Let them help with one to two months of publicity to build heat for *Extreme Speed Racing*, then officially launch the closed test."

"No, two months is too long." Chen Yang immediately vetoed Wang Lei's suggestion. "General Manager Wang, the promotional effect depends on how much benefit you give them. As long as you pay enough, they will naturally find ways to let every gamer know about *Extreme Speed Racing* in the shortest time possible."

Wang Lei reminded Chen Yang: "The company has already spent a lot of money on the racing brand's copyright. If we go unrestrained with promotion, the budget will surely exceed the limit!"

Chen Yang gave him a strange look: "General Manager Wang, do I look like I'm about to go bankrupt?"

Wang Lei instinctively shook his head.

"Since I'm not bankrupt, which budget should you be worried about?"
