Chapter 45

The manager of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Wei Wenyuan, was in his office, looking at the reports in his hand with a worried expression. Since May, when the central bank raised the RMB deposit interest rate to rectify the financial order and combat high inflation, the favorable situation of the Shanghai market, which had soared to 1,558 points due to the "Chief Designer's" southern tour, was no longer sustainable. According to the report in Wei Wenyuan's hand, the Shanghai Composite Index was about to break through the 1,000-point mark. "Something must be done!" he said to himself, clenching his fists.

Just then, there was a knock on his office door. The secretary walked in and said, "Manager Wei, there's a Mr. Li Wei from the Shenzhen Bao'an Company's securities department who wants to see you. He says he wants to talk about the legal person A-share transactions that the CSRC has just opened..."

Wei Wenyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded eagerly, "Bring him in quickly." Within a minute, a young man with naturally upturned eyebrows and a cheerful smile walked in. "Mr. Li, hello, hello..." Wei Wenyuan greeted him while noticing that Mr. Li looked somewhat familiar, with features that resembled those of NPC Standing Committee member Li Yining. Considering his surname, Wei Wenyuan cautiously asked, "I wonder if you are related to Professor Li Yining..."

"That's my father..." Li Wei explained with a smile. "By the way, Director Wei, you seem a bit worried?"

"Ah, it's all because of the Shanghai Composite Index, I'm really worried..." Wei Wenyuan invited Li Wei to sit on the sofa and poured him a cup of tea.

Li Wei took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and said, "I personally think that the market's lack of vitality is due to the absence of the 'catfish effect.' The 'catfish effect' refers to a situation where Japanese fishermen found that when they caught sardines, most of them would die by the time they reached the port. Later, they discovered that by placing a catfish, a predatory fish, among the sardines, the sardines would constantly swim to avoid being eaten, thus increasing their survival rate..."

Indeed, as expected! Wei Wenyuan was not surprised at all; he smiled and asked, "So, are you willing to come to Shanghai and be our catfish?"

At this moment, Jia Hongjian was standing at his front door, disheveled, looking at the foodie fox spirit Wang Danqing and his cousin Jia Jinghang outside. "Yawn~ Why are you two here together?" Jia Hongjian stretched and asked as he walked into the house.

"Because we are dating." "Because we just met at the entrance of the neighborhood." The man and woman who entered the house gave completely different answers.

Jia Hongjian slowly turned his head and glanced at Wang Danqing. This little fox spirit sister always took pleasure in teasing him! The last time he went to claim compensation, on the way back, he used his hands and breathing to make her moan and have abdominal spasms on the bus. He knew that when she got home and saw her soaked underwear, she must have been both embarrassed and angry. Given her temper, she probably wouldn't let it go without revenge.

"When did we start dating? I didn't know! Oh my God, I'm the one involved, but I'm the last to know?" Jia Jinghang, the troublemaker, asked with a look of surprise and fear.

"Get lost!" Wang Danqing kicked Jia Jinghang's butt, "When did I become your sister? I'm your uncle's sister, so what should you call me?"

"Should I call you Aunt?" Jia Jinghang asked, feigning innocence, "Oh my God, I'm dating my aunt! How outrageous and exciting, and I didn't even know! Oh my God..."

Wang Danqing, hearing Jia Jinghang's words, felt both embarrassed and angry, and said through gritted teeth, "Are you itching for a beating? If I don't give you one, you'll start tearing the roof off, huh?"

Jia Hongjian watched the two of them playfully fighting, feeling a sense of warmth, as if it were a scene from his youth...

After a while, Wang Danqing, out of breath, looked for water to drink but didn't dare to meet Jia Hongjian's eyes. "Uncle," Jia Jinghang, after composing himself, asked, "How was your trip to Beijing? How did it feel to be on TV?"

Just as Jia Hongjian was about to answer, Wang Danqing, who was drinking water, put down her cup and asked without turning her head, "Did those experts or anyone else bully you?"

"Aunt, that's not right. Have a little faith in Uncle. When has Uncle ever been bullied? He just lets you bully him..." Jia Jinghang said with a grin.

Hearing his nephew's words, Jia Hongjian was taken aback. He thought about it and realized it was true, but why hadn't he felt this difference in his previous life? Upon further reflection, Jia Hongjian found that he couldn't really remember what he did when he was young, as if his mind was always blank...

Wang Danqing, after hearing Jia Jinghang's words, didn't react at all, just held the cup as if drinking, but the water in the cup didn't decrease...

"There's no bullying, just arguments, but I'm not sure if they'll be broadcast." Jia Hongjian didn't want to tell his family about the conflicts he experienced outside. "By the way, Dandan, we got a little over 3,000 yuan from our investment. When you have time, return the fake calculator to them. Also, I'll keep this money for a while, okay?"

"No way!" Wang Danqing put down her cup and said without turning her head, "Does it matter if I say no? If you need it, just use it."

"Uncle, are you going to buy more fake stuff? Can I join you this time?" Jia Jinghang asked excitedly. "No, this time it's for a different investment with a good return..." Jia Hongjian smiled, not wanting to explain further.

In the past, when considering how to earn starting capital, Jia Hongjian had rejected monkey tickets and tulips. Why hadn't he rejected stock trading and then not traded stocks? Because he was waiting for the right opportunity! He was waiting to earn some capital and then, when Shenzhen Bao'an was about to acquire Yanzhong Industrial, enter the stock market to make some money!

According to his previous life's memory, the stock price of Yanzhong Industrial was 9 yuan per share before the acquisition battle. During the 5% acquisition by Shenzhen Bao'an, the stock price rose sharply. By the time Shenzhen Bao'an announced the acquisition of 5% of the shares, the stock price had risen from 9 yuan to 12 yuan!

The stock price of Yanzhong Industrial continued to soar after the announcement, reaching 45 yuan by September 30, when Shenzhen Bao'an had acquired over 15% of the shares!

Historically, this acquisition took only 10 days, starting in late September. Jia Hongjian's original plan was to earn some starting capital and "credit money" by buying fake goods, and then enter the market when the time and capital were sufficient.

However, after explaining the implications of the CSRC's new regulations yesterday and seeing Wang Coulan hurriedly make a phone call, Jia Hongjian had a bad feeling. He knew about the butterfly effect, and although he didn't think Shenzhen Bao'an would abandon the acquisition, what if it happened earlier?

Although an earlier acquisition wouldn't affect his overall plan, seeing the stock market soar while his money was tied up in fake goods would be frustrating!

Last night, lying in bed, Jia Hongjian had already thought it through. At the current price of 9 yuan per share, 3,000 yuan could buy 333 shares. When the price reached 45 yuan, the net profit would be 12,000 yuan, making a total of 15,000 yuan!

"Uncle, whatever you do, count me in. I have a small savings account, and I've saved all my New Year's money since I was little, which now totals 1,000 yuan!" Jia Jinghang pulled out a passbook and pleaded with Jia Hongjian.

"You have 1,000 yuan? Why did I only have 500 yuan from my New Year's money? I didn't spend it recklessly!" Jia Hongjian couldn't believe what he was hearing. They were the same age, with Jia Hongjian only being a day older, so why was there such a big difference in New Year's money?

Jia Jinghang shrugged, "Maybe I'm cuter?"

"Get lost!" Jia Hongjian kicked him.

"Then why do I, your aunt, only have 500 yuan? Are you cuter than me?" Wang Danqing asked, losing her composure.

"You eat too much, you've eaten your family poor, so they couldn't give you New Year's money." Jia Jinghang, while dodging his uncle's kicks, said matter-of-factly.

"Get lost!" Wang Danqing, who couldn't stand being called a big eater, joined in the beating of Jia Jinghang.

After a while, Jia Hongjian and Wang Danqing, exhausted, sat on Jia Jinghang's back, who was lying on the floor, catching their breath. "Dandan, by the way, the 3,000 yuan we got from the compensation, plus a little extra, I'll take you out for a meal, all you can eat." The reborn man with glasses smiled.

"Huh?" Wang Danqing stared at him for a while, "You're taking me out for a meal? Are you sure? All you can eat?"

"Sure, but not anything too fancy, just Lanzhou noodles. After all, our budget is a bit tight, and the main part is for investment." Jia Hongjian nodded.

Wang Danqing slowly closed her eyes, raised her delicate and alluring face, and looked at Jia Hongjian through her long, thick, and dark eyelashes. Gradually, her eyes turned into a crescent moon, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up. "Then I won't be shy, I'll definitely eat you broke!"

"No problem, come on."

"Uncle, can I give you the 1,000 yuan after she finishes the noodles? Don't let her eat all my money. That 1,000 yuan is for my future wife..." Jia Jinghang, being used as a seat, asked in a muffled voice.

"No way!" "No way!"
