Chapter 356 The liveliness is indeed different
Lei Jingwu soon noticed that Yao Shula seemed to have something on her mind. Could it be that Yao Shula was also thinking about buying shares in Yuyuan Mall?
"You want shares in Yuyuan Mall too? No problem, I have some. I'll bring you my two hundred shares next time I come over." Lei Jingwu immediately looked at Yao Shula considerately.
Yao Shula simply shook her head.
How can that be the same? She wants to experience the feeling of becoming rich overnight! What's the point of Lei Jingwu taking it? What belongs to others will always remain theirs.
Besides, the feeling is completely different, okay!
If you buy shares in Yuyuan Garden, that's stock trading. If you sell them when the price goes up, that's making money through investment.
That's an affirmation of one's earning ability...
Forget about that. I'll go check out the stock exchange when it opens the day after tomorrow, bring some money, maybe I can buy some...
...
When Gu Changqin got home, he specifically told his grandfather that he wanted to take Yao Shuli with him to attend the opening of the stock exchange.
When Gu Changqin mentioned Yao Shuli's ideas, the old master of the Gu family was also taken aback.
"Did Shu Li really say that?" Old Master Gu asked.
"How could it be fake? Grandpa, Yao Shuli has always been very quick-witted since he was a child. Yao Shula said that all he thinks about every day is how to make money."
Don't let her young age fool you, she's got a lot of ideas!
He dragged Tian Tian along to sell popsicles and chicken cakes at the train station. Later, it was his idea that Lei Jingwu and I traded treasury bonds.
"He's a clever little devil! This kid is incredibly smart!" Gu Changqin quickly spoke up for Yao Shuli.
The old man of the Gu family listened and nodded.
"This child is quick to understand and talented; he's destined for greatness!"
So, we'll set off early the day after tomorrow morning, pick him up, and then go together.
Since he wants to broaden his horizons, then let him see them properly. Also, tell your dad that the money I asked him to prepare should also be prepared!
That day... the Gu family had to step in and help them put on this grand show.
Gu Changqin immediately agreed.
...
The next day, Yao Shuli went to school, where many classmates were also talking about the opening of the stock exchange the following day.
"Many of the teachers have gone there."
"It's normal for them to go to that kind of event. I heard that many wealthy and powerful people from Shanghai will be there tomorrow. I heard it's the most complete gathering ever."
Who wouldn't want to go and see? Maybe I'll even meet one or two people!
"You're overthinking it! Things aren't that simple! I heard from my uncle that quite a few people will be going to the opening tomorrow, including the old man from the Gu family who will be there to oversee things."
But people like Old Master Gu discussed things in their hotel suites upstairs.
They only need to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony at most; the rest of the time they spend discussing business upstairs.
The teachers were watching stock trading at the stock exchange.
As for the ordinary people, they simply watched the spectacle from the sidelines!
"Oh, so even if I went, I wouldn't necessarily be able to meet those big shots!"
"Of course! Those big shots have their own things to discuss, and they're all there to make money through cooperation. The teachers also have their own purposes for going. Those big shots aren't stupid; they certainly won't waste their time."
"Oh! I see. Du Jiaqi, are you going to see the world with your uncle tomorrow too?"
"Yes! My uncle said he'd take me to see what China's stock exchange looks like," the bespectacled boy who had been leading the conversation said with a smile.
Everyone immediately looked at the boy with glasses with envy.
Look how kind other people's elders are; they've already paved the way for their nephews even before they've graduated.
No wonder he was able to become the class monitor!
Du Jiaqi noticed that everyone was talking to him, but Yao Shuli, whom no one in the class could figure out, didn't say a word and kept her head down reading.
"Yao Shuli, are you going to see the excitement tomorrow?" Du Jiaqi asked.
Yao Shuli closed the book and nodded at Du Jiaqi.
"Well, since the teacher isn't here, we're on holiday anyway. We're just sitting at home doing nothing, so why not go check out the fun?"
"Hey, what's so interesting about the commotion outside? I'll ask my uncle later, and if possible, see if he can bring you in."
"But I don't think it will work. My uncle said there will be police officers there to maintain order that day, and you can't get in without an invitation," Du Jiaqi laughed.
Yao Shuli smiled as well.
"It's alright! The excitement is the same everywhere!"
Everyone laughed along.
They all knew that the squad leader disliked Yao Shuli and thought he was a country bumpkin...
But apart from not speaking Shanghainese, Yao Shuli seemed no different from them in other ways, and sometimes even his clothes were better than theirs.
At least not everyone has a digital watch from Hong Kong...
...
On December 19th, Yao Shula and Gu Xiaoman dressed Yao Shuli up nicely before putting her into Gu Changqin and the Gu family patriarch's car.
Yao Shuli felt a little uncomfortable.
He originally wanted to wear a ski suit, but his older sister said it wasn't appropriate and that it was best to dress more formally for such an occasion.
Then, somehow, they got him a modified suit to wear, with an overcoat over it...
Yao Shuli's eyes twitched, feeling as if he were one of those Hong Kong and Taiwanese gangsters in movies.
Yao Shuli felt relieved after getting into the car.
Grandpa Gu and Gu Changqin dress like this too!
Gu Xiaoman once said that the suits worn by Grandpa Gu and Gu Changqin were made by master tailors with the best skills in Shanghai. Unlike other people's ill-fitting suits, their suits were very well-fitting.
"Shuli, are you nervous?" Grandpa Gu asked Yao Shuli with a smile.
Yao Shuli is very honest.
"I'm a little nervous!"
In such an occasion, with all the attendees being prominent figures in the Shanghai market, how could he not be nervous?
Grandpa Gu laughed heartily twice.
"It's understandable that you're nervous. None of those old fogies are easy to deal with; they won't spout nonsense for no reason."
Just remember to speak less, observe more, and think more.
Just follow your brother Changqin; he'll help you greet people.
"Just listen to what we have to say the rest of the time!" Grandpa Gu comforted Yao Shuli.
Yao Shuli immediately memorized them all.
The car quickly arrived at the Pujiang Hotel, where a large crowd had already gathered, making it almost impossible to move.
Gu Changqin showed the police officers maintaining order his invitation from Phnom Penh and was immediately allowed to pass.
