Chapter 234 The Madness of the Stock Market!
Gu Yin had long forgotten about what happened in the classroom. After moving her things back to the dormitory, she took out her computer and adjusted the network settings.
As soon as she opened her email, she saw that it had been sent to her by Mr. Lu. It contained a list of books and the questions to be answered for each book. The books would arrive in two days, and she was told to remember to pick them up.
The day after tomorrow is the weekend, and Gu Yin marked that day on the calendar and replied to Mr. Lu's email.
After sending the email, Gu Yin first logged onto the novel website "Rise".
Previously, due to the start of the school year, military training, and the school anniversary celebration, her latest novel, "Green Plum," had been on hiatus for a period of time, and she had also posted a notice of leave on the homepage.
She originally thought that after taking a long leave, most of her readers would have left, but when she opened the backend, it was full of messages from readers asking when she would be back, whether she had finished dealing with things, and other words of concern. Not only had her readers not left, but the number of her favorites had increased by more than 10,000!
Gu Yin did not reply to the readers' messages. She first removed the notice of leave, then published 20 chapters of the draft she had saved up during this period, and then wrote another 30,000 words before stopping.
After finishing writing, Gu Yin set a timer to send it tomorrow, then closed the door and went into the system to study.
After finishing the math competition problems, Gu Yin would usually log out of the system to avoid being kicked out when the time was up, but now she searched for information-related knowledge instead.
When the world's most advanced computer knowledge emerged, Gu Yin swore that for the first time, she felt like a terrible student!
I don't understand it at all!
001 flew out: "Everything starts from nothing, then improves, and finally becomes excellent. What you've encountered in the real world is just the tip of the iceberg of computers. It's because of your past life's perspective that this knowledge base can be opened. You haven't even figured out what a computer is, yet you want to learn what your predecessors have learned in their entire lives? Be down-to-earth and take it slow. I'll lock the knowledge above for you first, so you can start learning from the basics."
Gu Yin took a deep breath, and after calming her restless heart, she stopped looking at the knowledge at the top and instead followed 001's advice to start with the basics and learn about it from all aspects.
The system provided Gu Yin with content entirely in English. If Gu Yin's English wasn't good, she wouldn't be able to read it at all. Even though Gu Yin's English was excellent, some of the technical terms were still quite obscure. Fortunately, the system was advanced; if she didn't understand a word, she could simply click on it and a translation would appear.
Even after being kicked out of the program, Gu Yin's mind was still filled with various data and grammar. After her spiritual body returned, she immediately turned on her computer, made a simple record of what she had just learned, and then created a simple database.
Gu Yin operated the system a few times, created a webpage, and then connected to the database. Seeing the successful connection screen was quite interesting.
These are simple, but Gu Yin had never learned them in her previous life.
The training course she attended didn't teach the basics in such detail, which made Gu Yin's learning very fragmented. Later, in order to pass the certification exam, she also studied some things on her own, but that was only targeted learning.
Gu Yin certainly didn't have this kind of traditional learning experience, which explains why Old Master Lu made her start learning from scratch. If she didn't start learning from scratch, she would be limited by many things.
Gu Yin didn't relax until the school's evening self-study session ended.
I was a little hungry, and luckily there was some beef noodles she had bought in the dorm. I turned on the water dispenser, and the water was hot in no time.
After soaking the food, Gu Yin took a stool and sat down at the door to eat, otherwise the dormitory smelled bad and it would affect her clothes.
As soon as Chu Yan started climbing the stairs, he heard someone slurping noodles. He wondered why the room next door, which was always empty, had become occupied. He tiptoed up the stairs.
Then I saw an unexpected person sitting there eating noodles.
Gu Yin took a big gulp of soup from her bowl. When she put the bowl down, she felt someone watching her. She turned her head and saw Chu Yan leaning against the wall next to the stairs with his arms crossed, staring at her quietly.
"You're back?!" Gu Yin said with a smile.
When Chu Yan saw that Gu Yin recognized him, her eyes lit up, but unfortunately, she probably didn't realize it.
Chu Yan walked over: "What are you eating?"
"Would you like a bowl of beef noodles?"
Chu Yan walked in, smelled the noodles, and thought they smelled quite good. He was also hungry, so he nodded.
"That'll be troublesome. I'll go back and get the mushroom sauce. Would you like some more?"
Gu Yin thought of the mushroom sauce her grandmother made and nodded affirmatively: "I'll have another bowl, go get it!"
Chu Yan smiled and turned back to the dormitory on the other side of the stairs, opening the door.
Gu Yin went inside to make instant noodles.
When Chu Yan came over again, he was carrying a document and a chair, which he placed next to Gu Yin's chair outside the door.
"This is the company acquisition contract. There are other things you need to sign. Because you are a minor and there is no available capital in your account, the company shares are temporarily held by the professional manager I found. The shares will be transferred to you later when you have money in your account or when you come of age. Even so, I will still tell you about some important decisions and the company's operations in detail, so you may be quite busy at that time."
Gu Yin took the document, glanced at it for a while, then stopped looking at it closely and picked up a pen to sign it.
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "You've definitely seen them all."
Chu Yan coughed lightly: "You trust me that much?"
Gu Yin didn't say anything. After signing the papers, she put the things on the table and stood up: "Eat noodles!"
Chu Yan grinned silently and followed Gu Yin to get the noodles.
The two sat at the doorway, enjoying the breeze and eating noodles. Chu Yan thought to himself, "It's actually quite pleasant!"
"Why did you move here?" Did you have a conflict with the other people in the dormitory? Chu Yan was a little worried. Although he was happier than anyone else to see Gu Yin move here, if she was forced to come here because of other reasons, then it was better to let it go. Her happiness was the most important thing.
Gu Yin explained the reason.
After listening, Chu Yan admired her but also felt sorry for her. He frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Your body can't handle this. And once you get busy, you'll forget to eat. My grandfather used to be like that, which led to his stomach problems. It's very painful for him at his age. How about I ask the family to arrange for a housekeeper to come over and tell her that I don't like the cafeteria food, and have her come over and cook for us? What do you think?"
Gu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this a bit too much?!" This is a school, not a place where we live!
Chu Yan shook his head: "No, many of our classmates have already applied to live off-campus. Their families have come to accompany them, firstly to observe their mental health up close, and secondly to provide them with nutrition so that they can face the college entrance examination with a good mindset and physique."
Gu Yin did know about this.
“My mom told me to call my grandma’s aunt after she found out, but I thought the food at my grandpa’s house was okay and I’m not picky about food, so I didn’t agree. Now I think it’s necessary to call her.”
After Chu Yan finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yin and said, "Don't worry, some of the other students living in single rooms will have their parents come over, and some will have their aunts come over. The school agrees to this, but they just need to pay rent."
Gu Yin wavered a little.
Chu Yan noticed this and continued, "If we have an auntie, we don't have to eat beef noodles tonight. We can eat other delicious food that you want. We can cook all kinds of food from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign."
Gu Yin closed her eyes and called out, "Come on! It would be a disservice to my stomach if I didn't come!"
Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh again, clenching his fist to cover his mouth, and coughed lightly, saying, "Then I'll tell my family now that we can eat it tomorrow at noon."
After deciding to call the auntie over, the two sat and chatted for a while before returning to their respective dormitories to wash up and go to sleep.
On October 15, 2007, the Shanghai Composite Index broke through 5900 points for the two stocks that Gu Yin had previously bought.
The rest of the Gu family had been paying attention to this matter. At noon, they called Gu Yin to ask if she wanted to sell it.
Gu Yin knew that these two stocks would reach the all-time high of the Chinese stock market tomorrow, 6124 points!
"No rush, I'll release it the day after tomorrow."
Hearing her say that, even though the family was anxious, they knew it wasn't the right time yet.
Tuesday, October 16th, 9:30 AM.
As soon as the stock market opened, the two stocks that Gu Yin bought started to rise steadily. Gu Yin had been watching them closely since the market opened!
When the index reached 6000 points, Gu Yin started selling off her previously purchased shares one by one from her computer. By the time the index reached 6100 points, all of Gu Yin's shares, including those of the Gu family, had been sold off.
At this time, the stock market had gone crazy. Gu Yin was not at the exchange. Otherwise, if the people around her saw her, they would definitely say that she was a fool for selling when the index was still rising and not even taking the money that was offered to her. What else could she be but a fool?
Gu Yin showed no hesitation. After completing all the operations, she quietly stared at the numbers. At 6120, many people were still buying in. Until 6124, the two stocks stopped at their highest point and then plummeted!
Gu Yin could imagine that those stock investors were still in shock, and even if they did, they wouldn't believe that the market would drop so quickly in such a short time! Instead, they would invest their entire families' money frantically. At this point, even a god couldn't persuade them; anyone who tried to persuade them would be blocking their path to wealth!
Gu Yin shut down her computer, closed her eyes, and cleared her mind. She wasn't a saint; she could only help herself. She couldn't help others.
