Chapter 1084 - Chapter 1084 Chapter 1084 The Multifaceted Nature of Women

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: The Multifaceted Nature of Women Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: The Multifaceted Nature of Women “I don’t know about these things, can’t you explain them to me properly?” Luo Ziling roared at Ouyang Feifei in annoyance and embarrassment.

“I just want to tell you that the money you invested could appreciate quickly,” Ouyang Feifei ignored Luo Ziling’s annoyed embarrassment, “Last year, Lingyun Group’s earnings per share were 2.75 yuan, and the year before that, it was 0.85 yuan. The market price-earnings ratios in the pharmaceutical industry aren’t high. Lingyun Group’s share price is around 20 yuan, and if we calculate it based on the previous year’s earnings per share, the price-earnings ratio is around 23 times, which is normal for the industry. Now it has risen to 40 yuan, but if we calculate it with an earnings per share of 2.75 yuan, the price-earnings ratio is actually quite low. If we take 20 times the price-earnings ratio, the corresponding share price should be over 50 yuan.”

“So, that means there is still 25 percent potential for increase?” From 40 to 50 is indeed 25 percent, and although Luo Ziling wasn’t good at math, after thinking for a while, he managed to figure it out.

“It’s not that simple,” Ouyang Feifei shook her head, “The earnings per share increased by over 200 percent last year compared to the year before. With such a growth rate, the price-earnings ratio isn’t that important. If I am not mistaken, this year’s first-quarter annual report will definitely be very impressive. The quarterly earnings per share will not be less than one yuan per share. After the annual report is released, Lingyun Pharmaceutical will attract a lot of investors’ attention, and some institutional investors will come for research. By then, once a few articles in the media hype up the sharp increase in Lingyun Group’s net profit and the rapid growth of earnings per share, everyone will know about it. The sensitive capital will surely swarm in, and by then the stock price won’t just have a 25 percent increase.”

After Ouyang Feifei’s explanation, Luo Ziling was baffled.

Terms like market price-earnings ratio, earnings per share, and institutional investors were all Greek to him; he had no idea about the situation.

However, he did understand Ouyang Feifei’s final conclusion.

Lingyun Group’s development prospects were looking very good, and the share price would continue to skyrocket – meaning, his investment profits would continue to surge.

His current investment profits had already yielded over a billion in profit, and it seemed there would be much more to come.

Although Luo Ziling had no concept of money, he knew that with so much money, he could live a life of indulgence for generations.

This was money that Ouyang Feifei had earned for him, and realizing this gave him an odd feeling inside.

This woman had proactively dealt with his investments and helped him earn a fortune, a rather good helper indeed; he felt somewhat grateful to her.

“Of course, if you buy stocks now, you would definitely see a decent profit. However, as a major shareholder, you are not allowed to buy or sell company stock within thirty days before and after the annual or quarterly reports. If you want to buy, you can only do so using someone else’s identity to open an account, and you must not leak any information, otherwise it would involve insider trading.”

“It’s too complicated,” Luo Ziling felt a headache brewing, “Forget it, I won’t bother with this, just help me handle it.”

Ouyang Feifei’s mouth twitched slightly in a smile that went unnoticed, but then it disappeared.

After taking a sip of tea, she said leisurely, “Actually, it’s not convenient for me to handle these things for you. I am a woman who you have already broken an engagement with, and for such a person to do these things for you, the name does not comfront to convention. I came today to talk to your mother, to suggest letting other people manage these affairs for you.”

Luo Ziling was taken aback, not understanding what Ouyang Feifei meant by that.

Ouyang Feifei had a neutral expression while speaking these words, making it impossible to guess her intentions.

Just then, Ling Ruonan came out of the kitchen; she and Wuyue had finished cooking the meals for everyone. Hence, when she came out with the dishes, she immediately called Luo Ziling over to get ready to wash hands and eat.

Caught off guard and not knowing what to say, Luo Ziling agreed and immediately stood up, rushed into the bathroom to wash his hands, and then went to the kitchen to help with the dishes.

Ouyang Feifei sighed softly, her face betraying a hint of disappointment.

During the meal, Ouyang Feifei discussed Lingyun Pharmaceutical’s affairs in front of Luo Ziling and Wuyue, repeating what she had told Luo Ziling earlier.

Ling Ruonan and Wuyue were quite knowledgeable about business matters, so they listened very attentively.

Luo Ziling could only sulk in frustration as he didn’t understand any of it, so he focused on enjoying the meal instead.

“Is the annual report this promising because Ziling provided a profitable drug formula?” Ling Ruonan asked with some skepticism. “You haven’t been producing the medicine from his formula for very long, have you?”

“Indeed, it hasn’t been long, but it made a slight contribution to net profit. The main reasons were the cost reductions last year and the very good sales of several drugs,” Ouyang Feifei said with a bit of pride, “The medicine produced from Ziling’s formula has an excellent reputation. Combined with our substantial advertising investment, the sales were very strong, and the feedback has been impressive. Sales have increased exponentially, so this year’s first-quarter report will definitely be even more attractive. The earnings of one yuan per share are probably a conservative estimate.”

This statement made Ling Ruonan’s eyes light up, but she didn’t ask Luo Ziling any questions in front of Ouyang Feifei. Instead, she simply smiled and said, “It seems like letting Ziling work with you turned out to be a win-win situation.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Ling, for your trust!” Ouyang Feifei smiled joyfully.

At this moment, Ouyang Feifei, far from her usual cold CEO demeanor, appeared completely obedient like a younger family member in front of her elders. Luo Ziling and Wuyue were both surprised by this.

Especially Wuyue, who felt a sudden and strong sense of crisis.

Her aversion to Ouyang Feifei deepened even more.

“Didn’t you just say that you planned to talk to my mother and suggest letting someone else take charge of these matters?” Luo Ziling chimed in curiously.

This remark stunned Ling Ruonan and caught Ouyang Feifei off guard.

She had only said those things to Luo Ziling in frustration, hoping to hear him express his thanks and ask her to continue managing his investment affairs. She didn’t expect Luo Ziling would not say those things, and now, he caught her off guard with his comment.

Upon hearing what Luo Ziling said, Ling Ruonan frowned and asked Ouyang Feifei, “Is that what you really think?”

“I was just joking with Ziling,” said Ouyang Feifei, glaring angrily at Luo Ziling before explaining earnestly to Ling Ruonan, “If Mrs. Ling trusts me, then I will continue to take responsibility.”

“Alright, then you keep managing it for him. He doesn’t have anyone skilled in that area around him, and Wuyue still needs to help me with work. He might be fully in charge of Northern Group soon and won’t have much energy to handle these things.”

Wuyue looked up at Ling Ruonan but ultimately didn’t say anything.

“Then I’ll follow Mrs. Ling’s advice,” Ouyang Feifei said, smiling again.

At this point, Ouyang Feifei no longer had any semblance of a cold-faced CEO but rather the demeanor of a respectful junior in front of an elder. Both Luo Ziling and Wuyue were quite surprised to see this.

Particularly Wuyue, her sense of crisis intensely surged.
