Chapter 396 Falling into the Trap

Jiang Tao put away the transaction slip with the mark, then brought in another one, put that one away carefully, and quickly left the VIP room.

After returning home, Jiang Tao pondered the transaction slip that had left its mark for a long time.

After much trial and error, he finally settled on a code and a vague price.

Thinking about the stocks currently listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Jiang Tao quickly determined which stock Yao Shuli wanted to invest in.

That stock...

Lately, it's been stagnant, unable to rise or fall, as if someone is deliberately suppressing it, but it also can't fall, just stuck in a stagnant state.

And the price is reasonable, neither too high nor too low.

Jiang Tao was a professional in the industry, and after a quick mental calculation, he knew it must be this stock.

This stock is definitely going to make a big move!

Jiang Tao couldn't contain his excitement. The price wasn't high now, and he was sure he would make a lot of money after investing 200,000 yuan.

Moreover, if I were the first to enter, the cost price would be lower, at least lower than Yao Shuli's.

If Yao Shuli were to build a position now, such a large amount of capital would only push the price even higher.

By the time Yao Shuli finishes building his position, he may have already made a lot of money.

Jiang Tao carefully put away the transaction slip and then called his girlfriend.

"Sisi...600...Yes, that's the stock. Tomorrow morning, take a day off and go to the brokerage office to wait for me. Don't come to our brokerage office."

Yes, buy it as soon as it opens, at the current price!

Don't wait for the price to drop further; you must buy it quickly, or you won't be able to buy it if you go too late.

Yes, yes, yes! Buy it as soon as possible, don't worry about anything else, just go back to work after you've bought it.

Do you understand the importance of keeping information confidential? Making money in the stock market is essentially about taking money from other people's pockets and putting it into your own...

If others find out, it's like giving away your money!

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Tomorrow... should be a happy day!

...

Yao Shuli, who had already returned home, was happily gnawing on a pig's trotter.

It was made by Yao Shula, and Xiao Tiantian wanted to eat it. He said he especially missed the braised pig's trotters that Yao Shula made when they were in Yun County, the kind of texture that melts in your mouth and falls off the bone with just a little nibble.

Without saying a word, Yao Shula asked Lei Jingwu to buy eight pig trotters and asked Gu Xiaoman to watch the shop. Yao Shula spent the whole afternoon making a pot of braised pig trotters.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian seemed to enjoy their snacks.

Du Jiaqi, who brought Yao Shuli back, also packed a pig's trotter to take home and eat.

After finishing his pig's trotter, Xiaotian licked his fingers and then picked up another pig's trotter to start eating.

"The braised pig's trotters made by the eldest sister are so delicious. There's not a trace of fishy or gamey smell. It's like eating jelly," Xiao Tiantian praised as she ate.

Yao Shuli ate without even lifting her head.

"Yes, it's delicious, and it's a little spicy. I wanted to eat one more after I ate one."

Next time my second sister calls, I'll tell her that you made pig's trotters again, and I'll make her drool with envy.

"Big sister, save the leftovers. Make me braised pork knuckle noodles tomorrow morning. I'll eat them before I go to the brokerage firm."

Yao Shula agreed.

Cooking this pot of pig's trotters was exhausting. After buying the trotters, you have to wash them, singe them over a fire, and then scrape off the charred layer so that the trotters won't have an unpleasant smell.

Thankfully, I don't have to do it every day. If I did, I would definitely be exhausted.

"Shuli, did someone dig a hole for you?" Yao Shula poured a glass of water for both brothers.

Yao Shuli nodded and finished gnawing the last piece of bone in his hand.

"I've dug the pit, whether he jumps in or not is up to him, but I reckon he'll definitely jump in."

I don't mind others making money behind me, but I do mind them making money behind me while selling me out and then calling me an idiot.

Sister, don't worry about it. I already said that.

If they are not greedy, this is just a one-man show for me; if they are too greedy, this is just a farce for them.

"I'm the one who sets up the stage, but they're the ones who perform!" Yao Shuli said with a smile.

Yao Shula didn't waste any words. When it comes to money, few people can resist greed!

"Alright! Whatever you want. You're an adult now and should be able to make your own judgments. I won't interfere with you, just be yourself."

"Drink some water every day. Don't you feel the saltiness after eating so much without drinking water?"

Xiao Tiantian immediately obediently drank a big gulp of water from Yao Shula's hand, and then continued to gnaw on the pig's trotter.

"Big sister, don't save any for my brother. He can't eat so much at night, or he'll become a fat man. You certainly don't want him to become a fat man, right?"

...

After eating and drinking her fill, Yao Shuli had a wonderful sleep.

The next day, he got up early, ate the braised pork knuckle noodles cooked by Yao Shula, and added a poached egg. Then he happily went to Wanguo Securities.

He greeted Jiang Tao as always.

As usual, Jiang Tao turned on the air conditioner in the VIP room early, wiped the table clean, and turned on the bulky CRT computer.

Yao Shuli felt that there was no difference from before.

But Jiang Tao was still feeling uneasy.

His girlfriend had already gone to another brokerage firm's branch and filled out the transaction form. As soon as the market opened, they would be able to buy the stock that Yao Shuli wanted to trade.

Yao Shuli browsed through today's financial news in the VIP room, and only opened the drawer after Du Jiaqi arrived.

Looking at the stack of transaction slips that were placed in the original position, Yao Shuli glanced at them and shook his head with a light laugh.

There are still people who want to perform slapstick comedy!

Yao Shuli took out the stack of transaction slips and placed them in front of Du Jiaqi.

Du Jiaqi glanced at the transaction slip and shook his head slightly.

"How many shares?" Du Jiaqi asked Yao Shuli.

"We've already prepared the bait, but we still need to keep adding more! Let's start with 100,000 shares! Otherwise, how will people keep biting?" Yao Shuli sighed.

Du Jiaqi nodded, quickly filled out the transaction form, and then left the VIP room.

He handed the transaction slip to Jiang Tao.

"This one! I'll order it now!"

When Jiang Tao saw the code and numbers on the transaction slip, he almost jumped up in excitement. Sure enough, it was the same as what he had thought.

"Should I place the order now?" Jiang Tao asked, feigning calmness.

“Yes! Now!” Du Jiaqi looked at Jiang Tao.

Du Jiaqi watched Jiang Tao enter the trading instructions and only returned to the VIP room after watching the 100,000 shares of stock be traded.

This time, Du Jiaqi didn't close the door, so he and Yao Shuli could see Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao didn't care at all; all he knew was that he was about to make a fortune.

As for those people in the other office...

Jiang Tao didn't tell them about Yao Shuli's trading until after the market closed at noon...
