Chapter 153 Do you know what day it is today?
During dinner that evening, everyone was present except for Gu Shu, who was taking extra lessons. After Gu Qingming explained the purpose of the remaining 80 million, Gu Yin coughed lightly.
"What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?" The old lady next to Gu Yin asked.
Everyone looked at her upon hearing this.
Gu Yin shook her head, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and looked at everyone: "I have something to say."
Everyone looked at her with suspicion.
Gu Qinglang asked in confusion, "What is it? Tell me."
Gu Yin held up two fingers and whispered, "I'd like to borrow 200,000 from my family, is that okay?"
The room fell silent for a moment before the old lady spoke up: "Tell me first what you need 200,000 for?"
Gu Yin's own royalties were only 30,000 yuan. If she wanted to earn more, she had to borrow from her family. Moreover, she was not yet an adult and did not have an ID card. When the school uniformly processed the ID cards next year, she would miss this stock market opportunity. Therefore, she had to use her family's ID cards to process the investment.
“I want to invest in stocks. I have been studying and researching the stock market. The stock market is currently in a period of great volatility, which is the best time to enter the market. I have my eye on two stocks and want to buy some, but I don’t have enough money. So I want to borrow some from my family, which would be 200,000 yuan.”
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she looked at her family and saw that they were not angry, but just thinking. Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Qingming looked at everyone, then picked up Gu Le who was next to Gu Yin and sat down himself.
"Ayin, which two do you like?" Gu Qingming had been at the market. Almost all the bosses there were investing in stocks. He had also tried it once and made 2,000 yuan before leaving. He wasn't greedy for money that was free.
Hearing Gu Yin talking about this, and how she even said she had done some research, Gu Qingming trusted his niece. After all, she was smart, and she knew what she was doing. If the other party really didn't have confidence, she wouldn't have spoken up. Since she had spoken up, the chances of making money should be quite high.
Gu Yin turned to look at Gu Qingming and saw the eagerness in his eyes. She asked in surprise, "Uncle, you bought stocks?"
Gu Qingming: "...Everyone in the market was buying, so I followed the trend and bought a little bit, just 500 yuan. After making 2,000 yuan, I left."
Gu Yin knew about the frenzy among stock market investors at this time, and she shook her head in disapproval: "Unless you're very professional and don't have a lot of money, it's best not to get involved in this stuff. I've been reading the newspapers lately, and there are countless stories of people going bankrupt overnight, jumping off buildings, and families being torn apart. Even the most composed person would lose their temper in this crazy situation! I've been watching this for a long time, and I'll make my move in October. I won't stop. If you can't control yourself, you shouldn't play this game. You'd better not follow the crowd either. If you see people who are blinded by greed, stay away from them. Be careful, those people might be looking for a juicy story!"
Gu Qingming was startled: "Is it that exaggerated and terrifying?" He saw that all the bosses seemed normal, and many of them even said they had made a profit!
Gu Yin nodded.
When Li Xiang saw that he was doing these things behind her back, she immediately got angry: "Give me all the money you have on you tonight. You can't have any money on you! Once you have money, your mind will go astray!"
The old lady also complained, "Ah Xiang is right. You're making small money now, but what if you face other temptations? Will you give away all the family's wealth? Let me tell you, if you really have any other thoughts, you can divorce Ah Xiang and get out of the house! The same goes for the second son!"
Recently, a man in the village who used to work away from home started keeping a mistress, just like others. Now his mistress has a child. He used to only come home once a year for the Spring Festival, but lately he has been coming home repeatedly, constantly urging his wife to divorce him!
Caught in the crossfire, Gu Qinglang immediately hugged Li Mengxin and said solemnly, "I can't!" After saying that, he looked at his older brother and then smiled and said, "Big brother can't either, don't worry!"
Li Mengxin patted him shyly, telling him to let go, since so many people were watching!
Gu Qinglang smiled and let go of his hand.
The old lady knew her son's temperament and was afraid that if he saw too much of the outside world, he would be tempted and make mistakes! If she didn't keep a close eye on them from time to time, she was afraid they would forget how they built their fortune!
The old man tapped the table: "You two brothers had better behave yourselves, otherwise, hehe!" He then raised the pipe in his hand.
After warning his two sons, the old man looked at Gu Yin and said, "Since you know the dangers of this stock, I believe you have your own ideas. I'll give you the 200,000 yuan. Do any of you have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads. What could they possibly object to? The family's money was all used together. The old man and the old woman were very fair. Besides, no one in their family had any ulterior motives.
Seeing how easily they believed her, Gu Yin smiled and said, "I'll give you a surprise later! I'm not in a hurry to use this money right now. I'll take it after the high school entrance exam results come out!"
"Just ask me when you need it!" Gu Qingming is currently looking at houses, and the main bank card for the house has been with him. It's likely that the card will remain with him for some time, so Gu Qingming is reminding Gu Yin in advance to avoid her contacting the wrong person.
On July 15th, the day the middle school entrance exam results were released, Gu Yin, accompanied by Gu Qinglang, went to the city's stock exchange to open an account, carrying the ID cards of six adults in her family. After completing all the formalities, she found the two stocks she had been observing and invested 250,000 yuan without hesitation.
The trading hall was filled with anxious, numb people. Only a few looked relieved and told the people next to them how wise they were to have made their move two days after the price started to fall.
Gu Yin ignored them and went directly to the trading platform. She bought 40,000 yuan from the accounts of the five adults (excluding Li Mengxin) and 50,000 yuan from Li Mengxin's account.
The 250,000 yuan consisted of 200,000 yuan from the family, 30,000 yuan from Gu Yin's own purchase, 10,000 yuan from Gu Qingming's family, and 10,000 yuan from Gu Qinglang's family.
Seeing that Gu Yin had bought one herself, her family members followed suit. If Gu Hua and A Le hadn't been short of money, they would have bought one too!
Those around Gu Yin were saddened by her ruthless actions at such a young age. Some even urged Gu Qinglang to stop her from falling into the trap, as no one believed that the stocks that had been plummeting would rebound during this period.
The two stocks that Gu Yin bought will not hit the daily limit down until the day after tomorrow, and then they will surge and continue to rise until October. After that, they will plummet again. As long as you make a move in October, you will not lose money no matter which day it is!
Gu Yin bought the shares in the past two days instead of buying at the limit down price to avoid attracting attention. Stock prices rarely rebound immediately after hitting the limit down, and such situations are rarely seen in the market. Basically, no one would do this. If Gu Yin had bought at the limit down price, it would have been too blatant and might have attracted the attention of the government.
After buying the stocks, Gu Yin and Gu Qinglang left the trading hall without lingering.
As soon as Gu Yin stepped out of the trading hall, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Feng Jiangyue's number, she immediately answered it.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
"Do you know what day it is today?" Feng Jiangyue was very quiet, but Gu Yin could hear the helplessness in her voice.
Gu Yin blinked. She couldn't very well say that today was a trading day she had been watching for a long time, could she?
What day is it?
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then someone gritted their teeth and said, "The day to check your scores! Have you forgotten what I told you before I left? Tell me as soon as you get your scores! I'll have Jianggao send you your acceptance letter right away! Such an important day, and you actually forgot! How dare you forget!"
Gu Yin slapped her forehead. She had been so focused on the stock market lately that she had forgotten about her grades. She said apologetically, "I forgot. I'm so sorry, teacher."
"Investigate right now, don't hang up!" Feng Jiangyue didn't say much, instructing Gu Yin to handle it immediately.
Gu Yin glanced awkwardly at Gu Qinglang, who was equally bewildered, and whispered, "Teacher, I'm outside right now, not at home."
Feng Jiangyue was completely speechless: "Remember your admission ticket number and ID number? Send them to me now, and I'll check them for you!"
There were many people and it was noisy outside, but Gu Yin wasn't in a hurry. After sending the message, she looked at Gu Qinglang and asked, "Will I get scolded when I go back?"
Gu Qinglang wiped his face and shook his head: "No, because of this stock situation, everyone at home seems to have forgotten that today is the day to check the results."
He clearly remembered it a few days ago, but he's completely forgotten about it today!
"Dad, you make the call, and I'll read the message to you. Let's check how many points we have."
Gu Qinglang had the same idea. The two found a shady spot and dialed the number one by one. Neither Gu Qinglang nor Gu Yin were nervous; on the contrary, they were quite looking forward to it.
I tried calling twice but couldn't get through. Either the line was busy and I had to tell them to try again later.
"There are too many people checking their scores right now. Shall we go get something to eat first? We can do it later, the teacher might call soon," Gu Yin said helplessly.
Gu Qinglang nodded: "Let's go."
