Chapter 355 Long-term positive outlook
Yao Shuli immediately pulled Xiao Tiantian aside, and the two of them huddled together to discuss the matter.
“We made quite a bit of money by asking Brother Jingwu and Brother Changqin to trade treasury bonds, a total of a little over 150,000 yuan! Should we take some of it to buy shares in Yuyuan Mall?” Yao Shuli asked Xiaotian.
“Sure! Buy whatever you want! If it’s not enough, I’ll ask my older brother for more. Older brother, could you give me…” Xiao Tiantian was pulled by Yao Shuli before she could finish speaking.
"Buy it with our own money! Don't ask our older brother or the others!" Yao Shuli glared at Xiao Tiantian.
Xiao Tiantian, who had been grinning at Lei Jingwu, immediately stopped smiling.
"Oh, no need! Big brother, you can continue eating!" After saying that, he started whispering to Yao Shuli again.
"There's a total of 150,000, right? We agreed that 50,000 of the money we earned would be given to my eldest sister as her dowry, and another 50,000 would be given to my second sister as her dowry."
"The remaining 50,000 is for both of us. If you want to use it, you can only use that 50,000!" Xiao Tiantian said.
Yao Shuli also meant the same thing!
Isn't the purpose of him earning money to give his sisters a better life?
“Okay, let’s use that 50,000 yuan!” Yao Shuli readily made the decision.
Yao Shula was ignored by the two of them...
I feel both touched and a little sorry for her, what's wrong with me?
He even left 50,000 yuan for himself and Shuxin. If only he could have used that 50,000 yuan to buy old stocks!
"Shuli, your sister doesn't need your money. Use it however you like, don't overthink it!" Yao Shula quickly said.
"No way! We agreed to save it for your dowry! Big sister, there's no room for discussion." Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli both looked at Yao Shula with serious expressions.
Yao Shula...
Her old-fashioned, formulaic style!
The key point is that these two boys don't give her any money. If they did, she would secretly take it and use it to buy old stocks.
We'll have to figure it out ourselves!
...
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian quickly agreed to spend 50,000 yuan to buy shares in Yuyuan Mall.
Gu Changqin hadn't expected Yao Shuli to have such a bold spirit. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Shuli, you need to think this through. Buying shares in Yuyuan Mall won't be as easy to sell as buying treasury bonds."
It might sit in your hands for a long time!
Despite Gu Changqin's reminder, Yao Shuli only worried about one thing.
“Brother Changqin, I know you mean well and are worried that I’ll lose all my money, but right now I’m only worried about one thing: whether I can buy shares in Yuyuan Mall.”
"You can definitely buy it! Back in 1988, many families were allocated shares of Yuyuan Mall, especially the employees of Yuyuan Mall. Almost everyone had a few shares of Yuyuan Mall stock."
It used to be hard to sell, but now that there's finally a chance to sell stocks, people will definitely seize the opportunity to do so.
The stock exchange asked some families in Shanghai to come forward in order to acquire these shares.
Otherwise, if outsiders see only those selling stocks and no one buying them, wouldn't that embarrass those in power?
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to buy stocks that day." Gu Changqin patted Yao Shuli on the shoulder.
Yao Shuli breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that she could buy it.
However, Gu Changqin still asked Yao Shuli another question.
"Shuli, judging from your expression, you're planning to hold onto Yuyuan Mall stock for the long term?"
Or have you already decided to throw the money into the water?
Yao Shuli shook his head.
"Making money is my basic requirement. Why would I bother if I didn't want to make money?"
Brother Changqin, I really have high hopes for Yuyuan Mall.
Think about it, where is Yu Garden Shopping Mall located? It's near the City God Temple! That's basically the most bustling area in Shanghai!
If you had a shop there, it would be a goldmine.
That's where the saying "every inch of land is worth its weight in gold" really comes from.
Everyone knows that China's economy is currently in a phase of rapid development, and many people from outside the country want to come and see China.
Shanghai is the first stop for people from outside China.
Similarly, it's not just outsiders who want to visit Shanghai; even people from other parts of China, how many wouldn't want to come and see Shanghai!
With such attention from two groups, the number of people in Shanghai will only increase.
Where do people go when they come to China? The City God Temple is definitely their first stop! When people come, they will definitely think about buying something to take back with them.
This will make the shops in Yu Garden Market even more prosperous.
The most direct consequence of this is that... shops will become more expensive, and the land price of Yuyuan Mall, which has the most shops, will also be more expensive. As a result, how could the stock price of Yuyuan Mall not rise? Yao Shuli analyzed for everyone.
Everyone, including Yao Shula, stared blankly at Yao Shuli.
This kid...
Yao Shula was even more excited. After all, he was her younger brother, and his analysis was reasonable and well-founded!
Yuyuan Mall's price did indeed rise to 10,500 yuan a year and a half later, becoming the first stock in China to reach 10,000 yuan...
“Shuli, what you said makes so much sense, so think about it carefully. Here’s what you’re going to do: take all the money you left for my eldest and second sisters…” Yao Shula was still unwilling to give up.
"Big sister! You've only heard the good side of it, but I haven't told you the bad side yet! You and second sister can't touch the money."
"Tian Tian and I will keep it safe for you and give it to you when you get married!" Yao Shuli said with a stern face.
Yao Shula...
"Any negative aspects? Shu Li, tell me more!" Lei Jingwu laughed as well.
Yao Shuli took a bite of food, thought for a moment, and then said, "There must be some downsides."
This is just like the treasury bonds of the past. Nobody will accept them. Even if someone makes money through treasury bonds, it's just speculation, like what happened to us.
But that's precisely why it makes more people who haven't made money feel resentful.
If someone makes money through stocks, some people will make negative comments about this behavior, and then the higher-ups will take this issue into consideration.
After all, the fact that stocks are doing very well overseas makes one wonder if developing the stock market is good for socialism.
If the unrest gets too big, the authorities might take a drastic step and cancel stock trading. Although the possibility is small, it's not impossible.
Therefore, not many people will be investing in stocks in the early stages, as everyone will be on edge, worried that a bomb might suddenly explode.
"If it really explodes, then the stocks we hold will truly become a pile of worthless paper," Yao Shuli said seriously.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin exchanged a glance. This situation... could really happen!
“Then you…” Yao Shula looked at Yao Shuli.
“I will buy it! Even if it becomes waste paper, I still want to see what it looks like!” Yao Shuli said firmly, looking at Yao Shula.
"Yes! It's just money, right? Money is just paper! In the end, it's just another color of paper in your hand. Brother Shuli, I support you buying it!"
Even if money turns into paper, I don't need to worry, because I have two good older brothers!
"Big brother, cousin, you're right, aren't you!" Little Tiantian looked at Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin with a fawning expression...
