Chapter 490 There's No "What If"

"Are you crazy?"

Yang Shu's wife reached out and touched his forehead. "You don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about? The only valuable thing in our house is the house. If we lose it all, we'll never be able to recover. If you really want to buy, don't you still have 20,000 yuan in your savings account? That's enough to buy a new one..."

"Only one lot is a hundred shares, the profit is too small."

Yang Shu gripped his wife's hand and pleaded, "They dare to invest tens of millions in it, would they dare if it didn't make money? They must know something..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered, "Honey, you know, a few years ago when I met that Brother Li, back when we were dabbling in government bonds, he only had tens of thousands or a hundred thousand yuan. It's only been two years, where did they get so much money? They must have made a fortune through government bonds. Honey, trust me. I can't guarantee anything else, but this… I bet 90% it'll make money! Didn't you want to move to a bigger house? Once we've made some money, let's buy that little red house. It even has a yard. Then we can bring your parents and my parents over, and our two families can have a lively celebration…"

"real?"

Yang Shu's wife was somewhat tempted by what he said, and glanced around at their current two-bedroom apartment.

With a determined look, he said, "Okay, let's go to the bank to get a mortgage loan."

Yang Shu exclaimed excitedly, hugged his wife, and kissed her.

"My dear wife, just wait for your man to buy you a big house to live in!"

The couple were both action-oriented, so they took the day off to go to the bank to apply for a mortgage loan and wait for the funds to be disbursed.

Li Banxia stayed in Shanghai for three days before returning to the capital.

Half a month later, Yang Shu's loan came through, and the two of them poured all their money into it. Following Li Banxia's example, they also bought Aishi, Yuyuan, and Feile. Yang Shu favored Feile more and ranked it before Yuyuan.

As a result, just as the money was poured in, a new policy was introduced.

The restrictions were tightened, and the daily price fluctuation limit was adjusted to ±1, leaving the couple completely stunned.

Less than a week later, the restrictions were tightened further, controlled within ±0.5. The two were dumbfounded, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.

"Quickly, call them and tell them that we only have this much money, while they have tens of millions. They even bought it on your advice. What are we going to do?"

Yang Shu's wife was so scared that her hands were shaking.

"Don't worry, I was just suggesting it, I didn't force them to buy it. I followed all the proper and legal procedures. Besides, Brother Li and Sister Li don't seem like the type to settle scores later..."

Yang Shu held his wife's hand and comforted her for a few words. Seeing that she had calmed down, he ran to make a phone call.

When Li Erge heard that the daily price fluctuation limit was 0.5%, he felt dizzy and anxious, but when he thought of Li Banxia, ​​he suppressed his restlessness.

He took two deep breaths and advised Yang Shu, "...Don't focus on short-term market trends; take a long-term view."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shu felt relieved.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, he repeatedly said yes, "Brother Li, you're so optimistic. I was terrified you'd throw money away and not be able to get it back... Pah, pah, pah!"

Realizing he had said something offensive, he quickly spat it out three times.

Brother Li smiled and told him to just keep an eye on the market and give them timely updates; he would call him when it was time to make a move.

The poplar tree responded.

After hanging up Yang Shu's call, Li Erge immediately dialed the health center and told Li Banxia the news.

Li Banxia simply hummed in agreement, "Second Brother, you're right. Holding stocks requires a long-term perspective. There won't be any major moves this year, just keep an eye on it."

"...Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."

Brother Li complained, "You said 5 is already a small number, and then you suddenly lower it to 0.5, what were you thinking?"

"Don't worry, wait for the policy. It won't be suppressed like this forever."

Li Banxia chatted with Li Erge for a few minutes. Li Erge believed her and didn't dwell on it. Instead, he started to subtly inquire about Song Yuanzhi.

Li Banxia paused for a moment, then sighed, "Second brother, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint him. I have no plans to get married again, nor do I want to have any more twilight romances. I'm very satisfied with my current life. Yuanzhi... should marry a woman who loves him and has a heart for him, not an old woman like me who is full of scars."

"...What are you saying? Why are you calling me an old woman?!"

Li Erge disapproved of her belittling herself. "You're only in your forties, not seventy or eighty. A twilight romance? I don't mean anything by it, I'm just... worried you'll be lonely. If you don't have feelings for Yuanzhi, I'll find you someone else. Your eldest brother in the army surely has plenty of good ones, or else..."

Li Banxia was both amused and exasperated.

"Alright, Second Brother, let's leave it at that. I meant what I said earlier, so please stop trying to play matchmaker."

Brother Li sighed regretfully.

Xiao Zhanyou received news that the stock market's daily fluctuation was limited to 0.5%, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly called Li Banxia, ​​"Sis, why don't we withdraw the money quickly? There's still time, just in case..."

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao, there's no chance of anything going wrong."

Xiao Zhanyou choked, thinking that Li Banxia was too carefree. The policy had changed twice in half a month, and who knew what it would be next? But Li Banxia spoke with certainty, so he couldn't persuade him any further.

When I got home and told my wife about it, I was very anxious.

His wife advised him, "Haven't Banxia been like this ever since we met? She only does things when she's fully prepared. She knows what she's doing, and if she says there's no 'what if,' then there's no!"

Xiao Zhanyou sighed.

Looking at his wife, he said, "That's true, but I'm still very worried. That's tens of millions..."

The daughter-in-law shook her head.

She advised him, "Then think about it, how did we go from being employees earning a hundred or so yuan to becoming millionaire bosses? It was Banxia! She seized the opportunity of the new social and economic development and gave us this million-yuan fortune."

Xiao Zhanyou stared at his wife for a moment, then nodded.

"Yeah, let's go all in. Anyway, this fortune of ours was given to us by Banxia. Since she's invested all her money in the stock market, let's use this time to expand the company and make more money, just in case..."

Xiao Zhanyou swallowed hard, staring in the direction of Shanghai, and took a deep breath. "I mean, just in case something happens, we... should be able to cover for Banxia and Fengtiao!"

Sister-in-law Xiao chuckled, "Does Banxia need you to back her up? Just wait and see, I've never seen her make a wrong choice..."

She paused halfway through her sentence, then curled her lip in disdain and said, "Except for her ex-husband, I bet he was young at the time and was fooled by Su Youfu's sweet talk."

Xiao Zhanyou nodded, "I think so too."

Time flies, but it doesn't fly by either; the first snow of winter 1990 arrived.

Along with the heavy snow came Song Yuanzhi's phone call.

"Banxia, ​​Min'an is back. He wants to see you before he goes into the operating room."
