Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 484 - Chapter 484 Chapter 472 Following the God of Wealth

Chapter 484: Chapter 472: Following the God of Wealth Chapter 484: Chapter 472: Following the God of Wealth At the beginning of the year, Zong Shimeng invested over eight million in cash into stocks and so far, she had earned more than thirteen million. She was quite satisfied with this amount and wasn’t particularly envious of Jiaxin.

Zong Shimeng was also shrewd; noticing that she had calculated her earnings to the exact ten thousand, she asked, “Jiaxin, how do you know the amount so precisely? Did you ask the stockbroker?”

Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “Ah Zhan told me last week that everyone in Hong Kong, even the cleaning ladies, is buying stocks now, which isn’t a good sign. He suggested that I sell all my shares.”

Zong Shimeng’s heart skipped a beat as she said, “You sold all your stocks?”

Lu Jiaxin nodded and smiled, “Yes, I’ve liquidated them, and the capital is back this week. The real estate market is booming right now; I plan to acquire some more premium properties. I’ve already asked Tan Gang to look into it.”

“Did Nie Zhan sell all his stocks too?”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “No, he kept the ones for Peninsula Hotel and Mandarin Oriental; he sold all the others. With the funds recouped, he said he plans to use them to pay off debts”

It was because Lu Jiaxin liked those two hotels, and Nie Zhan intended to become a shareholder by buying into them. However, as he was currently focusing on developing real estate, he had only purchased a small number of shares.

Shi Xinyu expressed her skepticism, “That can’t be right. Tao Yong told me just a couple of days ago that the stock market was doing well, and he bought shares worth over three million on Tuesday!”

Thinking of the last time Nie Zhan made a big profit trading foreign currency, Zong Shimeng asked, “Jiaxin, does Nie Zhan have some inside information?”

Lu Jiaxin chuckled, “There’s no such information. Nie Zhan just feels that an overheated stock market isn’t a good sign. He told me he’d rather earn less than take risks. I think I’ve already made quite a lot, and investing in property seems safer. After all, if the property values drop, you still have the property, but if stocks collapse, they’re gone.”

Zong Shimeng thought it made sense; if Nie Zhan truly had insider information, he would have definitely told his husband. However, with the stock market currently so hot, she was reluctant to sell everything, which left her feeling conflicted for a moment.

Lu Jiaxin had already hinted at the situation to them; whether to sell or not was now their own decision. She stood up and said to Yu Meitong, “Let’s play a game.”

“Sure.”

Yu Meitong hadn’t bought any stocks, so whether the market went up or down, it didn’t concern her, which meant she was the most relaxed about the situation.

Zong Shimeng and Shi Xinyu, still preoccupied with their stocks, left after lunch to return home. Lu Jiaxin, too, was tired from playing tennis all morning and wanted to go home for a nap.

Once she got home, Lu Jiaxin went upstairs to sleep. After waking up, she called Su Heyuan, “Didn’t you say last time to let you know if I sold all my stocks? I’ve sold them all, and the funds have been recouped.”

Upon hearing this, Su Heyuan couldn’t sit still, “You’re at home right now, right? I’m on my way.”

Before Lu Jiaxin could respond, the call ended with the sound of a dial tone. She hung up the phone, somewhat helplessly; the market was closed on Sunday, and she didn’t understand what was so urgent.

As soon as Su Heyuan entered the living room, he saw Lu Jiaxin sitting on the couch reading a financial magazine. “Tell me, when did you liquidate all your stocks?”

His voice was so loud that everyone on the first floor could hear him. The chef, who was busy in the kitchen, heard this and came out with a spatula in hand.

Seeing Su Heyuan’s eager expression, Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “Why are you so loud? Whatever it is, we can talk upstairs.”

The chef watched Lu Jiaxin’s retreating back and asked the butler, “Sister Meng, did I hear Mr. Su correctly saying that our boss has liquidated all her stocks?”

Aunt Meng nodded, “You heard right, the boss did say that.”

“Why did the boss sell all her stocks?”

Aunt Meng seemed helpless, “You’re asking me? How should I know? But since the boss has sold all her stocks, I’ll tell the stockbroker to sell mine tomorrow as well.”

The chef hesitated, “Maybe the boss needs the capital for turnover?”

Aunt Meng glanced at him and walked away without saying a word. In matters like this, it all depends on whether you’re willing to believe. The boss is so young yet has already made such a huge fortune; surely, no one can compare to her. She may not understand finance, but following the boss was bound to be right, and at worst, she’d earn a little less.

Entering the study and closing the door, Lu Jiaxin said, “People say walls have ears, and with so many people downstairs, you don’t pay attention to the situation. You’re almost thirty, why are you still so loud and impulsive?”

Su Heyuan wasn’t offended by the remark, “Didn’t you say to let me know before you liquidate everything? Why did you only tell me after you’d recouped the funds?”

Lu Jiaxin rolled her eyes at him, “Just have your stockbroker sell the shares as soon as the market opens tomorrow.”

Previously, Su Heyuan had sold off half his shares, and now he had only several tens of millions in stocks. With the stock market so hot, they could be sold quickly once listed. And that was the reason she only spoke of it now.

Su Heyuan had arrived in a flurry, but it was not as simple as Lu Jiaxin selling stocks, “After you’ve liquidated all your stock holdings, did you put all the money in the bank or have you made other investments?”

Lu Jiaxin’s eyebrows twitched slightly, “What, if I made other investments, would you follow suit?”

Su Heyuan didn’t hesitate to say he would follow.

“Even if the risk is very high?”

“Yes.”

Lu Jiaxin said, “I’m shorting the Hang Seng Index, would you dare to follow that?”

Su Heyuan replied with a smile, “Why wouldn’t I follow?”

Lu Jiaxin looked at him and said, “I’m not joking with you, I’m seriously shorting the Hang Seng Index and have put all my available funds into it.”

Su Heyuan’s eyes nearly popped out, “Are you serious?”

“Of course, I’m serious. Who would joke about so much money?”

Su Heyuan inquired if she had received any insider information.

Leaning back in her chair, Lu Jiaxin said, “What kind of information do you think I could get? I just want to take a gamble. If I win, I can do whatever I want in the future; if I lose, only Five Auspicious Jewelry and Qirui Company will remain, and I’ll have to start earning money the hard way again.”

Su Heyuan felt the bet was a bit too big, but still said, “I’ll go see the broker in a bit and have him sell my shares tomorrow, then short the Hang Seng Index.”

“You’re not afraid of losing everything?”

Having made his decision, Su Heyuan relaxed, “I’ll use this money to follow you. You’ve put in almost your entire fortune; even if my account blows up, I’ll only lose forty million.”

Following the god of wealth was never wrong.

Last month, after selling half, there was thirty-five million left, and it had risen some more in a month. He would add a little to make it an even forty million.

Seeing that he’d made up his mind, Lu Jiaxin said, “I bought the shorts with the highest leverage of ten times. If you’re going to follow, do the same.”

“Okay.”

After agreeing, Su Heyuan asked, “Does Nie Zhan know about this?”

Lu Jiaxin nodded, “He knows. It’s such a big move; I couldn’t hide it from him. He disagrees because he thinks it’s too risky, but it’s my money, so my own decision suffices. If you want to earn big money, where is there no risk, right?”

Su Heyuan very much agreed with this. In Hong Kong, people chased after money trading forex, stocks, real estate – they speculated in anything as long as it promised profit. Regardless of what they traded, there was always a huge risk, but people still flocked to it. And the reason, naturally, was to make money.
