Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Earning some pocket money is not a big deal

Qin Feng's words left everyone present confused. You know, securities trading in mainland China only started in the 1990s, which was still several years away. Many people didn't even know what stock trading was.

Take the directors and actors at the film studio for example; they all looked at each other in confusion.

Wu Heng, on the other hand, had heard about it when he was in Guangzhou a few years ago, but he had only heard that there was a trading market in the port city and had never actually seen it, so he didn't know what it was all about.

Only Li Yaoming was the first to react. "Miss Liu, did you entrust someone else to trade stocks? Miss Lin, no, it's Second Miss Lin. The Lin family has been busy lately, with the wives and children fighting like mad. How could Second Miss Lin have the time... Nancheng, Nancheng, ah, could it be... ahem, nothing, nothing. Miss Shuyao, sorry, I just rambled."

Lin Shuyao is from a branch of the Lin family. She smiled awkwardly and said, "The Lin family has been having a lot of things lately, but it has nothing to do with me."

The main family is fighting fiercely because Mr. Lin is in poor health and the division of the huge family property is still unresolved.

These have nothing to do with small fry like them from the side branches. No matter how fiercely the main family fights or how fiercely they tear each other apart, they can't even think of getting a sip of the broth.

What Lin Shuyao cared more about was what Li Yaoming didn't say.

She is from a branch of the Lin family and her ancestral home is also Nancheng, so she knows a thing or two about which of the current big families in Gangcheng came from Nancheng. In connection with some reports she had read, Lin Shuyao also had some guesses.

But she was a smart person. Even though she guessed it, she would not say anything loud like Qin Feng.

Qin Feng thought that he had Miss Lin Er's support and didn't think much before speaking or doing anything. However, Lin Shuyao knew that for Miss Lin Er, love was far less important than career, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in Nancheng for several years.

There is no other man around Miss Lin Er. It’s not that she has a special liking for Qin Feng, but that she doesn’t care about these things at all.

But this Miss Liu was able to get Xu Huiyun to help her hold stocks. Is it something simple?

Don’t you think about it, how many of the younger generations of the Xu family can do it?

Sure enough, Li Yaoming was not stupid. He quickly changed the subject and easily brushed off whatever Qin Feng said afterwards.

Liu Mianmian just pretended not to understand and assumed that Qin Feng was joking.

But from what they were saying, Second Miss Lin seemed to have a pretty good record in the Lin family's internal strife. Qin Feng was also quite funny, practically having "Second Miss Lin and I have a special relationship" written all over his face.

The people at the South City Film Studio were practically stunned by the gossip, occasionally expressing their amazement. Hong Kong had only implemented monogamy in 1969, but now, among the prominent families, who among the middle-aged and elderly didn't have multiple wives?

But it is different in the mainland. None of us here are too old. We have only heard from the elders in our families that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, landlords married several wives, and this was a feudal dregs that should be criticized.

Regardless of how the food tasted, I really broadened my horizons with today's meal.

After dinner, Li Yaoming and Wu Heng sent Liu Mianmian home together, but Liu Mianmian and Wu Heng both came by bicycle, and Li Yaoming didn’t know how to ride a bicycle, so in the end they had to walk together.

It's easy to overeat when you're just listening to gossip. Liu Mianmian was a little full, so a short walk with her bike was just the right way to help it all out. Besides, it wasn't appropriate to ask Li Yaoming or Wu Heng to take her home that late at night, so it was fine for the three of them to go together.

Li Yaoming had been holding it in all night, and now he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Liu, you're asking Ms. Xu Huiyun to help you with your stock holdings, right? You're amazing! You don't know that Hong Kong housewives call Xu's every day, asking her to come on their show and recommend stocks. Even Mr. Dong has approved of your stock trading."

Mr. Dong refers to Dong Hansheng, a well-known broker in Hong Kong. He is a prominent figure in the securities industry in Hong Kong and is very famous. A stock appraisal and review program he participated in has very high ratings.

Li Yaoming is now even more grateful that he had a keen eye for talent and had established a relationship with Liu Mianmian early on.

But he was actually very curious about how Liu Mianmian, who was in the mainland, knew so much about the Hong Kong stock market.

Not to mention that it was Xu Huiyun who was helping her trade stocks. If Xu Huiyun really had this ability, why hadn't she been seen trading stocks before?

As for hiring a powerful agent to hype the product, that's even more impossible. With such high popularity, if it was really a broker, which agent would not come forward and admit it? It would be a matter of gaining both fame and fortune!

Moreover, from the contact in recent days, Li Yaoming also felt that Liu Mianmian was not the kind of person who would invest money and then leave it alone.

"Stock trading is all about expectations. Market news is one aspect, and grasping policies and news is also very important. Of course, luck is also needed. I guess I have pretty good luck." Liu Mianmian said with a smile.

She actually invested some money in the stock market in her previous life and achieved pretty good results.

Li Yaoming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Which stocks do you think will have better prospects in the future?"

Liu Mianmian hesitated for a moment, and Li Yaoming immediately pulled Wu Heng over: "Mr. Wu, no, brother, brother Wu, let's make money together. As long as Miss Liu can guide us, we can be invincible in the Hong Kong stock market."

Wu Heng pushed his hand away: "I don't even have an account, yet I'm invincible."

When they were talking, he also understood that this required an account, and it was difficult for people from the mainland to open an account there, so Liu Mianmian also asked the Xu family to help hold shares.

He wanted to earn this money, but it was useless without an account.

Li Yaoming immediately said, "I, I, I, brother, I'll give you the shares, let's trade together."

Wu Heng: "...If you help me hold the shares, I might as well invest some in Boss Liu."

It definitely won’t work if it’s too much. Liu Mianmian also uses another account, but if he invests a little, he believes that Liu Mianmian will not refuse.

They do business together, and he has a certain understanding of Liu Mianmian's character. She is a very generous person.

Moreover, it is said that the operation is also done by a broker from a brokerage firm, so it is actually not too troublesome.

Li Yaoming: “…”

He suddenly realized the advantage of not having an account. People like Wu Heng who don't have an account can directly invest in Liu Mianmian, but people like him who have an account find it difficult to make this request.

Liu Mianmian glanced at the two of them and couldn't help laughing. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mr. Li, let me introduce my agent to you. You can let him handle it. But we have to agree that the capital can't be too large. Each of you can't exceed one million."

Too much is definitely not a good idea. Investing too much money can easily change the original trajectory of the stock, and then it will be out of control.

What's more, there is still a year of good market conditions. If you invest one million now, you can make a lot of money by next year.

Li Yaoming was immediately overjoyed.

Wu Heng said awkwardly, "I don't have that much money."

In an era when even a millionaire would be reported in the newspapers, he was actually considered very wealthy. But the two men in front of him asked for one million right away, and Wu Heng could only smile bitterly.

Li Yaoming was afraid that if Wu Heng invested too little, Liu Mianmian would ask for the same from them, so he immediately hugged Wu Heng like a brother and said, "Brother, I'll lend you whatever you need! Brothers should be clear about accounts. Just pay the interest. I don't want the interest, you can give it to Miss Liu later. We make money from Miss Liu, so we will definitely give her a red envelope later!"

Liu Mianmian glanced at him and said, "What if I lose money?"

Li Yaoming said sheepishly: "Even if you lose money, you still have to give a red envelope."

Seeing Wu Heng's disbelief, he immediately added, "I'm serious. Losing money is better than being cheated!"

Now Liu Mianmian and Wu Heng couldn't help laughing.

It is not a big problem for a stock broker to operate more accounts or more funds. Since he has done it for them, Liu Mianmian decided to go back and ask other people to invest a little more together. Not to mention how much money he can make, it should not be a problem to earn some pocket money.

When she returned home, Yu Wan and Aunt Liu were still waiting for her under the pomegranate tree to enjoy the cool air. Aunt Liu scooped her a bowl of mung bean soup, and Liu Mianmian drank it while chatting with them.

Aunt Liu was very surprised to know that Liu Mianmian and Li Yaoming were making a movie together. She curiously asked who the actors were and where the filming was taking place.

Liu Mianmian mentioned several people from the Nancheng Film Studio. Aunt Liu usually liked to watch plays and performances, so she had some impression of this person and couldn't help but admire him. Seeing that she was so interested, Liu Mianmian thought about it and asked her if she wanted to be an actor.

In a movie, besides the main characters and supporting roles, there must be extras, especially middle-aged and elderly extras like Aunt Liu, who are actually quite scarce.

Liu Mianmian remembered that before she traveled through time, short dramas were actually popular in her area. It was said that there was no shortage of young male and female actors, but there was a severe shortage of middle-aged and elderly actors who could play the parents and grandparents of the domineering president.

It’s probably about the same these days.

Even if there is a shortage of roles, as an investor, she doesn't have to arrange for people to grab the roles. It's just an extra, so there is naturally no problem.

Since Aunt Liu started selling radish strips, she has embarked on the path of a professional woman. She has become much bolder and more courageous. When she heard that she could be an actor, she hesitated for a moment, saying that she was afraid that she would not act well. Liu Mianmian just encouraged her a few words, and she immediately became full of confidence.

And very excited.

"Oh, you see, I used to rush to the venue to watch the troupe's performances, but now I can perform on my own. This is really great. Don't worry, Mianmian, I will perform well when I go, and I will definitely not embarrass you." Aunt Liu was so happy that her teeth were not visible.

Yu Wan sighed, "Your life is becoming more and more fulfilling."

Liu Mianmian smiled and said, "Actually, if your employer agrees, you can give it a try, Mom."

My mother-in-law has delicate and beautiful facial features and an elegant and dignified temperament. She has no problem playing the role of an official's wife.

Yu Wan waved her hands repeatedly: "I can't do it, your dad will laugh at me later."

Liu Mianmian knew Yu Wan's personality and knew that she would definitely not want to show up in public, so she stopped talking about this matter and mentioned the stock issue instead.

Investing in stocks is actually like gambling. Winning or losing is unpredictable. Even if she has the experience of her previous life and the content of the original book, it is hard to say that she can make money 100%.

Besides, she had never traded stocks before, so no one would believe her even if she swore that she was a stock god.

But now that she has a certain "achievement" and has a thorough understanding of the market, she is more confident in herself and others trust her more. This can be seen from the fact that Li Yaoming and Qin Feng want to follow her in stock trading. Liu Mianmian thinks that since it's the same whether you are herding a sheep or a flock of sheep, she can take the opportunity to earn some pocket money with everyone.

Her operating style in her previous life was not radical. Even though she has the conditions of a "prophet" in this life, she is actually very cautious, so the probability of losing is really not high.

Aunt Liu is almost a die-hard fan of Liu Mianmian. After hearing what she said, she immediately expressed her intention to invest some money.

The old couple didn't spend any money on food and lodging, and they were very frugal in their daily lives, so they had saved quite a bit of money over the years. Especially after Aunt Liu started selling radish strips, the family's income increased significantly, and their savings naturally climbed as well.

I had provided some financial support to Wang Zhiyuan before, but Wang Zhiyuan called on his comrades to join forces, and he had some savings of his own, so he didn't ask his parents for too much, so the old couple had some money in their hands.

Wang Zhiqiang's wedding may cost a little. The betrothal gift is a few hundred yuan, and the three transfers and one ring will also cost a few hundred yuan. Then there will be more money for the wedding banquet and furniture. Spending about a thousand yuan will be very, very decent.

After much calculation, Aunt Liu finally decided to take out three thousand.

Yu Wan actually didn't care whether she could make money or not, but since her daughter-in-law had brought it up, she naturally had to respond. After thinking about it, she decided to take out 7,000 yuan and pool together 10,000 yuan with Aunt Liu.

The three of them were chatting when suddenly a quarrel was heard in the guest room. It seemed that Xie Hong and Wang Zhiqiang were arguing.

Although Yu Wan was old enough to be a mother-in-law, Shen Weizhou and Liu Mianmian had never had a quarrel except on their wedding day, so she really had no experience in mediating quarrels between the younger generation. She asked Aunt Liu awkwardly, "Do you want to try to mediate?"

Aunt Liu, however, knew what was going on and could roughly guess why the couple was arguing. She snorted and said, "Don't bother with them. Not to mention arguing, even if they start fighting, we'll just ignore them."

When Qiangzi retired from the army, Xie Hong broke up with him immediately and didn't know how to get back.

Aunt Liu is an old sparrow in Dongting Lake at this age. How could she not hear what Xie Hong said before? This is a shallow eyelid.

In fact, she felt a little resentful towards her son. She had arranged many blind dates for him in the army or when he went home to visit relatives over the years, but her son didn't like any of them. She thought her son wanted to find a certain type of person, but after picking and choosing, he ended up picking a superficial and troublesome woman.

Not to mention that this yard belongs to the Shen family, even if it belongs to the Wang family, Aunt Liu would not want the young couple to live there.

It makes the house a mess.

Originally, Aunt Liu was thinking that since she hadn't seen her eldest sons for several years, she would let them stay here for a while. But now, hearing the quarrels getting louder and louder, she decided to let them move out tomorrow.

"I'll go and have a few words." Aunt Liu stood up. "You guys should go to bed quickly. It's getting late."

After saying that, he walked towards the guest room with a heroic and confident look, leaving Liu Mianmian and Yu Wan looking at each other in bewilderment.

Aunt Liu went over and scolded them a few words, and the noise finally quieted down. Liu Mianmian and Yu Wan then went back to their respective rooms.

Judging from Aunt Liu's attitude, Liu Mianmian guessed that she was probably not very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

Originally, she heard that the other party was unemployed, and thought that for the sake of the old couple's face, she could actually arrange for her to work in a Western restaurant, a fried chicken shop or a video hall first.

Now that this has happened, Liu Mianmian decided to just ignore it for now.

The next day, Wang Zhiqiang and Xie Hong moved out. Of course, when they moved out, Xie Hong's face was very long. It didn't seem like he was moving into his own house, but rather like he was being kicked out of the house.

Liu Mianmian ignored these matters and went to the clothing store to find Jiang Hongmei. After discussing a trip to Guangzhou in a few days, she told her about the stock market. Afterward, she called Qianjin Township and asked Yu Guoliang and Yu Guodong for their opinions. In the end, they managed to scrape together another 20,000 yuan.

She gave the money to Li Yaoming and exchanged it for Hong Kong dollars, which he then withdrew directly from his account in Hong Kong City.

After arranging the stock matters, Liu Mianmian helped Aunt Liu and the others get a few opportunities to be extras.

Yes, they do.

When the old ladies heard that Aunt Liu had the opportunity to act in a movie, they were extremely envious and insisted on asking Aunt Liu for help to ask if they could add a few more people. As for extras, some large scenes really need more people, so the more the better. It was rare that the old ladies loved "art" so much, so Liu Mianmian helped to get a few more spots.

In the next few days, she reorganized the work at the western restaurant, fried chicken shop and video hall. After making sure that everything was fine, she asked Yu Wan to help buy a few sleeper tickets to the south.

A few days later, the three met at South City Railway Station.
