Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

really.

As it turns out, Lu Yang made the right bet again.

He, a reborn being, has already seen the future, how could he possibly lose?

After fluctuating for a few days during the trough, and with retail investors exiting the market, Microsoft's stock began to rise sharply!
It didn't give Wall Street retail investors and small institutions a chance to buy more shares. It quickly recovered all the losses from the previous three months in one day, with an exaggerated increase of 39.7%.

This caused an uproar in the market.

Countless people are lamenting their missed opportunity, cursing the shamelessness of institutions and capital.

But should we buy more shares now?

Do you need to replenish it?
Is there still a chance to make up for it?

Too many individual investors and small institutions hesitated for a moment.

Because Microsoft's stock price has already rebounded.

The current stock price is exactly the same as the closing price of 53.2 yuan when Lu Yang subscribed three months ago, as if it were a perfect coincidence. Back then, as the major shareholder of Little Prodigy, Lu Yang overcame all objections and announced that he would subscribe to Microsoft stock on behalf of Little Prodigy. On that day, Microsoft's stock price also closed at exactly 53.2 yuan.

After that, Microsoft's stock price was subsequently suppressed by Wall Street institutions for three months.

They also spread rumors through certain channels that they would teach this yellow-skinned boy from the East a very profound lesson.

Give the other party a good lesson.

But what about the class?
Isn't it still in session?
There was no news that this young Chinese tycoon had admitted defeat, surrendered, and sold his Microsoft stock. There was no word at all. How could the stock price suddenly surge without any notification?

See it.

It turns out.

Their outbursts against Wall Street capital were not without reason.

The agreed-upon purpose was to teach that arrogant kid from China a lesson, but the kid ended up leaving his own people stranded outside the car while he was still inside. It was as if he had slaughtered them all.

pain.

It hurts too much.

Buying more shares?

No, no, no, what's the point of adding more ghosts? At this point, no one dares to trust these institutions anymore. They've already missed their chance. What if these institutions were to launch a surprise attack? Wouldn't that mean people would be lining up to jump off rooftops again?

It was precisely this hesitation that prevented many retail investors and small institutions from building positions.

It's as if God is playing a joke on retail investors and small institutions; it's as if Microsoft had made a deal with these big investment banks and capital firms on Wall Street.

The very next morning, before the stock market even opened, Microsoft unexpectedly released its financial report for the first half of the year. The report revealed that not only did its revenue increase by 45% compared to the same period last year, but its key software, the Windows 95 operating system, also reached a new high, with a market share of over 75%. It can be said that Microsoft has almost achieved a monopoly and dominated the global personal computer market.

As soon as the news broke, Microsoft's stock price surged again after the stock market opened. Compared to the 39.7% increase the previous day, today's increase was even more dramatic, exceeding 50% at one point. Although it retreated slightly along the way, the stock price still settled at 60.9 yuan by the afternoon close.

See? In just two days, the stock price almost doubled.
But this is definitely not the peak of Microsoft's stock price this year. Three consecutive months of malicious suppression almost caused Microsoft's stock price to drop by half, which should have been soaring. This rebound is just a return to its stock's intrinsic value, and can be considered a retaliatory rebound.

Compared to its impressive financial report for the first half of this year and its dominant market share of Windows 95 in the global personal computer market, its stock price definitely still has room to rise.

Thousands of miles away.

Shenzhen, let's go back to the day before Microsoft released its financial report for the first half of this year.

On the top floor of the Century Building, in the chairman's office of the Century Group, Lu Yang's fingertip traced the number "Floating Profit: +55.7%" on the encrypted account report. Before the smile on his lips could fade, the office door was flung open by a fragrant breeze carrying ecstasy.

Qian Youyou burst in like a lark spreading its wings, crashing into Lu Yang's arms and kissing him repeatedly. Then she slammed a still-wet copy of the Wall Street Journal onto his desk, her fingertips trembling with excitement: "It's gone crazy! 39.7% in a single day! Microsoft is taking off!"

Beneath the sensational headline on the front page, the candlestick chart pierced through the gloom with an almost vertical trajectory.

Lu Yang's gaze swept over the numbers, his expression as calm as a deep pool.

"Yes, got it."

He picked up his coffee and took a small sip.

This number is similar to what he received from a phone call from the company's North American team.

Based on yesterday's closing price, Microsoft's stock price has reached $53.2, matching the price three months ago.

The prodigy's $600 million investment was break-even.

However, the more than 400 million US dollars raised by himself using the Century Group's account has an exaggerated profit of 55.7%.

As for why this little woman was so happy and excited about it hanging on her body?

Of course, it's because some of the foreign exchange I raised was borrowed from her.

Well, let's just consider it helping her earn some pocket money.

"That's it?!"

Qian Youyou's eyes widened. "Darling, isn't this the end of it?"

She thought Lu Yang was calculating that Microsoft's stock price would eventually return to its original level, and that Wall Street investment banks wanted to swindle his prodigy out of 600 million US dollars. He would take this opportunity to cheat them out of it, using their help to suppress the stock price, secretly accumulating shares at the lowest point, and then quickly selling them when the price returned to its original level, making a huge profit from the price difference.

She was right.

That's exactly what Lu Yang did, but in reality, Lu Yang's appetite was much bigger than she had imagined.

Sell ​​the stocks at this point?
No, no, no, this is just the beginning, this is only the beginning. The real show has just started. Let the stock price soar for a while longer.

Lu Yang pinched her nose, picked her up and placed her on his lap, patted her bouncy bottom and said, "Don't worry, I promise I'll make sure you earn enough for our son's milk powder in one go, enough for that kid to eat for a lifetime."

Qian Youyou blushed and couldn't help but wiggle her buttocks.

It was only at this moment that I remembered.

I barged in too hastily; the office door was closed, but the curtains weren't drawn yet.

Fortunately, this is the top floor of the company, and there are only two offices: the president's office and the chairman's office.

Moreover, without this guy's orders, absolutely no one would dare to approach this office.

Otherwise it will be troublesome.

Lu Yang patted that bouncy, perky bottom again. Then he picked her up.

Walk to the window and draw the curtains.

"Aren't you curious about where Microsoft's stock price will ultimately hit its limit? Well, let me give you a good lesson. You can't give up until I tell you to. You'll understand then that its limit is definitely very, very deep..."

Lu Yang leaned close to her ear and said something with a double meaning.

Sure enough, not long after, Qian Youyou let out a scream from her little mouth, "So deep, it really is very deep."

As if responding to her call, Microsoft's financial report the next day was like a thunderclap—revenue surged by 45% year-on-year, and Windows 95's market share exceeded 70%!

The stock price surged again by 45%, bringing the cumulative increase over two days to 84.6%!

The bright red figure of $69.9 was branded on the screen after the afternoon market closed, scorching the headlines of global financial media.

"Wall Street gold diggers!"

"The Magician of Eastern Capital!"

Lu Yang's name ascended to the top of the altar amidst a torrent of praise.

The office was flooded with ringing phones, but Lu Yang only instructed Lu Nini to block out irrelevant calls.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city lights, and finally a smile as deep as the ocean appeared on his lips.

Won.

The call for a return to value has been sounded.

Next, the mighty waves of the internet age will surely roar and crush all doubts.

Until the Asian financial crisis, which affected the entire world, arrived!
Think of this.

He couldn't help but swing his fist.

He will definitely take this opportunity to make a fortune from the stock market.

Moreover, with this money, I will never again have to worry about not having enough foreign exchange to invest in many projects I'm interested in, leaving me with regrets.

"Tuk-tuk."

Xiao Jun and Mu Qizhong entered together. The account report that the former was clutching was almost soaked with sweat. The string of numbers representing the floating profits had already multiplied several times, turning into dizzying astronomical figures.

"Brother-in-law!" Xiao Jun's Adam's apple bobbed. "Shouldn't we take our profits? A 45% increase, that's over 2.5 million US dollars in profit! Enough for ten celebratory banquets! Awesome!!!"

Why is he in such a hurry?
Although the money was borrowed from the company by his brother-in-law, according to the original agreement, 50% of the profits would belong to the prodigy, and the brother-in-law would also have to pay the prodigy interest at an annual rate of 10%, totaling 7200 million US dollars.

All things considered, as the second largest individual shareholder and president of the company, this child prodigy will definitely receive a considerable amount of shareholder dividends and bonuses at the end of the year.

Buy a luxury house.

Buy a yacht.

Buy him 10 luxury cars.

Private jet? Hmm, forget it, I can't afford a private jet yet. It's in the planning stages... I'll save it for later...

Now a confirmed bachelor again, he's almost figured out how to spend the money next year.

Compared to Xiao Jun, Mu Qizhong was relatively calm.

Only 45% profit.

He's seen it before, hasn't he?

It's just a small carambola.

However, since he had more capital this time than in any of his previous foreign trade deals, he was more inclined to take profits while he was ahead.

After Xiao Jun finished speaking, he chuckled and chimed in, "Brother, this kid is right. It's always good to secure your gains. Let's not play with those foreigners anymore, lest they scheme against us again."

Recently, Microsoft's stock has been on a rollercoaster ride, even making his strong heart a little uncomfortable.

Lu Yang turned to face the two of them, flicked the Microsoft R&D briefing on the corner of the table with his fingertips, and a sharp glint of control flashed in his eyes.

"No hurries?"

He chuckled and waved the newspaper in his hand. "A feast? No, no, no... the real show has just begun. I want more than just this. Believe me, the era of internet finance has only just arrived. With the release of Microsoft's impressive financial report, more and more internet companies will follow suit with their own impressive results. And Microsoft's stock price will definitely not stop here; it will rise, and rise significantly. Trust me, you two, and since you happen to have some spare cash, why don't you buy some too? At this point, we just need to wait patiently for the right opportunity to act. That's all I have to say; whether you do it or not is up to you."

As he spoke, he turned his entire body around with the executive chair beneath him, turning his back to the two men. He had said what he needed to say, and his intention to see them out was quite clear.
Xiao Jun and Mu Qizhong exchanged a glance.
Thinking of Lu Yang's amazing abilities, they all secretly thought to themselves: Why don't we listen to this kid this time?
They secretly regretted not believing Lu Yang sooner, thus missing an opportunity for Microsoft's stock price to surge two days earlier.

Although it's a bit late to the game now, if what this kid says is true—that the era of internet finance will really arrive with Microsoft's latest financial report—then there's a real chance to earn some extra pocket money by following this kid.
So after returning home, the two mobilized their connections and raised foreign exchange, preparing to try their luck on the Nasdaq in the US stock market.
As Microsoft's stock price surged for two consecutive days without any further decline, rising steadily by at least 5% each day, domestic media outlets were in an uproar. Following the Wall Street gold diggers of the previous days, commentary articles once again almost lavished praise on Lu Yang.
A luxurious office in Beijing.

A newspaper with a large photo of Lu Yang and the eye-catching headline "Wall Street Gold Digger" was slammed onto the mahogany floor.

Old Liu's face was ashen, and his chest heaved violently.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

He pointed at the overseas investment manager who stood silently before him, hands clasped at his sides, "Those Wall Street wolves and that kid surnamed Lu were clearly putting on a show! One dumped shares to shake out weak hands, the other accumulated shares at low prices, and then they joined forces to pump and dump! They were just harvesting you weak-willed, short-sighted leeks! And us? We were the ones who got washed out!"

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he was filled with regret.

If only I had known this would happen, I should have been like Lu Yang, holding on tight and even adding to my position! Then Lianxiang would be sitting on the clouds enjoying praise and wealth right now!

Instead of being able to watch helplessly and furiously witness the legend of our opponents, as we are now.

"Get out!" Old Liu roared. "I'm giving you one last chance! Keep a close eye on Nasdaq, keep a close eye on all stocks related to the internet! If you miss this opportunity again, you're all fired!"

He forgot that he was the one who led the mockery of Lu Yang before.
The company's senior management was merely going along with his wishes, echoing his words like Lao Liu.
Hong Kong, Victoria Peak, Li Family Study.

Li Ka-shing put down the phone and looked at his eldest son sitting opposite him: "He declined?"

"Yes, Father. Mr. Lu's assistant replied very politely, but also very clearly that he is unavailable at the moment."

Li Ka-shing nodded slightly, not surprised: "As expected. This young man is extremely ambitious and has just made a fortune in US dollars. He's at the height of his power. If we try to be friendly now, he might not see it as a good thing. We'll keep an eye on him and maintain normal business dealings. As for Ze Kai..."

He turned his gaze to the deep night outside the window. "You must convey the message to him, make him understand that personal disputes must not implicate the family. The ship this young man is on has already sailed against the wind and waves, and the Li family cannot easily shake it. Rather than becoming enemies, it is better to... wait and see."

He wasn't worried about his eldest son; he was only concerned about his second son. Although that second son was also exceptionally intelligent, and his business acumen was no less than his father's, his temperament still needed to be tempered. (End of Chapter)
