Back to the prime of life

Chapter 96

Perhaps it is the peak season, the revenue of Taobao stores in July and August showed a clear upward trend, reaching 18 and 19 respectively.

This has far exceeded his psychological expectations when he started this thing.

This time he did not use the money to buy stocks, but saved it all.

Gong Chunxue's attitude towards him also changed obviously, and he kept calling him Mr. Lu all the way.

With an increase of nearly 20 yuan in savings every month, you would be a rare talent even in 2007, let alone 2024.

Vice President Wu Yiming also invited him to his office, given that they had already met twice at social events. Wu Yiming also enjoyed playing soccer, and Lu Changge played a lot at school, so the two of them arranged to meet on the field after get off work one Friday.

During a break from playing football, Wu Yiming wiped his sweat with a towel while chatting. He said, "I've never asked you how you came up with that Taobao store. Besides, you don't seem to have any work experience."

Lu Changge laughed and admitted frankly, "It's true that it's all just talk, but I have a partner who worked as a lawyer for a few years and gave me a lot of advice. We can be said to have put this thing together."

"Have you ever thought about the future?"

"Later?" Lu Changge savored the meaning of this sentence.

"I don't mean anything else. But that thing of yours is easy to imitate."

"That's true. In fact, I have been thinking about whether there are any new projects to do in the past two months, but I don't know where to start." Lu Changge said perfunctorily.

Wu Yiming patted his shoulder and said, "My wife is very eloquent and likes to chat with people about industry trends. Next time, I'll let her talk to you. Maybe she can give you some inspiration."

Who would introduce his wife to another man for no reason?

Lu Changge's eyelids flickered slightly and he thought of what Xu Weiguo had said to him before. President Wu was also thinking about his own interests.

"Okay, then I'm all ears!"

To be honest, this September, Lu Changge didn't have any thoughts about future projects.

He had been keeping an eye on the stock market and was ready to close in the net he had been casting for a year.

On August 8, Yunnan Copper's stock price hit a high of 28 yuan. However, it fluctuated for the next two weeks, reaching a low of 78.49 yuan on September 9. This made him depressed, and he thought he had bad luck and bought a junk stock in a bull market.

But two days later, it suddenly reached 80 again!

It makes his heart go up and down all the time, which is really tiring.

The real roller coaster ride came on September 9th. The day before, Yunnan Copper's stock price had reached a small peak in recent months, 26 yuan! But as soon as the market opened on the 93th, it fell into the red all day long, and finally returned to 26 yuan!
Oh, there is a huge difference between going back and forth.

Lu Changge thought that there were still four days left, so he took another look and saw that fortunately, the price had gone up again on the 27th and 28th, reaching 97 yuan.

During these two days, the increase was sharp on the 27th, while the momentum was weak on the 28th.

Lu Changge finally decided to sell before the market closed on the 28th. He didn't want any of the remaining gains in the next few days, including those after the National Day, no matter how big they were.

He couldn't bear it anymore, so he cut it at 97 yuan. He had to calm down. If he continued to be greedy, the price would go back to more than 80 yuan, otherwise he would suffer a big loss.

Isn’t there a famous saying, don’t earn your last penny?

I don’t know if it’s appropriate to use it here, but he used it to convince himself. Three words: I don’t want to play anymore.

So the money collection began.

His account is actually very simple. He invested a total of three times.

At the end of January this year, the share price of Yunnan Copper was 1 per share, and the shareholding amount was 10.16. Later, an additional 7 was purchased, totaling 4; the share price of CITIC Securities was 11, and the shareholding amount was 33.7.

When exiting on the 28th, CITIC's share price was 101.6. In total, CITIC's share price doubled to 121.5 million, and Yunnan Copper's share price doubled to 105 million.

In early April this year, he borrowed 4 million yuan, and after raising 110 million yuan, he entered the market at 200 yuan. This part doubled to 18.7 million yuan.

The third payment was the most recent one of 40 yuan. It was invested at 35 yuan at that time, and now it has increased to 110.8 million yuan.

The above totals 1374.7 million.

This includes the 110 million loan and interest he has to repay.

After deducting the above, the net income attributable to him is over 1250 million.

That’s right, Lu Changge earned more money in just one year than he had earned in his entire previous life.

That was 2007 million in .

Needless to say what it means.

But perhaps because he had experienced this kind of moment before, or perhaps he had foresight, he was mentally prepared, so he didn't get particularly excited this time. He even felt that his mind was sharper than usual.

Now, he has two important things to do.
First, contact the loan repayment. He currently has no projects whose returns can significantly exceed the loan interest rate. The sooner he repays the loan, the less interest he will pay.

Second, saving money. Because the bank account he linked to his stock trading account was China Construction Bank, all his earnings were now on that card. And for Wu Yiming and Gong Chunxue, he had to make some deposits.

Of course, he had no intention of saving all the 12 million this time.

There are two reasons: first, he doesn't like others knowing his assets clearly; second, Xu Weiguo is now the deputy director of the city's development zone, much more powerful than Xie Zhenqi, the deputy mayor, so there is no need to devote all his efforts to supporting his niece, he just needs to maintain a good superficial relationship.

But the amount cannot be too small either. If it is too small, Wu Yiming will feel that he is not strong enough.

Don't think that these people are very polite to him now. In fact, if you are not in good enough, they will ignore you.

In the past, Lu Changge would call it snobbery, but not anymore, because this society relies on your strength to confirm your position.

After comprehensive consideration, he reported the figure of four million to Gong Chunxue.

Even so, it was enough to make Gong Chunxue happy. In their small branch, there were not many people who could have such customer resources.

A month later, he met Gong Chunxue again. This time, the girl looked at him with more than just envy, but a complex look.

"If I had known this earlier, I would have been braver."

Lu Changge understood what she meant and must have been unable to resist buying some as well, but he probably didn't buy too much and he was too lazy to ask the exact amount.

It’s best if others don’t ask him how much he earns.

As for the bull market that was about to end, he didn't say much. It was better not to give investment advice. For a family like Gong Chunxue's, a small loss would not affect her life.

So he didn't continue the conversation, only saying, "I've already informed President Wu. Please help me with the loan repayment as soon as possible. As for the deposit, I'll put it aside for a fixed term to help you complete some tasks. Shouldn't that be enough?"

"That's enough! Then... thank you." She actually looked up at Lu Changge again, but her mouth froze for a moment, and she didn't know what to say.

After finishing all this, Lu Changge returned to school with ease. When he arrived at the door of Room 308, he was stunned when he pushed the door open.

The five people were sitting together, drinking with eight boxes of braised food!
His part in participating was to contribute his own stool.

That’s right, these 5 people put a board on their stools, and then served the food and started eating!

"Old Lu is back?!"

"How was it?"

"Of course he has. When has he ever skipped a meal?"

Li Ming stood up and started to chatter again, "Lao Lu, we guys are greedy. Lao Cheng went to buy these. I wanted to find you, but Lao Qin said you were out busy, so he ignored you. How about a drink?"

As they spoke, the five people started to stand up, and Hui Chuankun and Tang Huaicheng lifted up the board with the cooked food.

Qin Jun rushed directly to the dormitory next door and fumbled and dragged a stool over, "Sit down, sit down."

"But we only have beer, what should we do?" Hui Chuankun said this. Everyone knew that he didn't drink beer.

But this time, Lu Changge opened a bottle himself with the bottle opener and said, "Today is an exception!"

Others didn't know what was special about him today, but having one more person drinking and making the day lively was enough.

It's true, sometimes this kind of atmosphere is much more pleasant than going to some high-end place. At least that's the case with Lu Changge. More than a year ago, although he knew about the opportunity to make a fortune, he suffered from insufficient capital. After a lot of trouble, he finally reaped the rewards today.

From then on, he could finally feel free to fly as high as the sky allows.

Under the influence of such emotions, he also let go. After drinking too much, the boys in 308 began to lose themselves in thought and were completely unaware of the passage of time.

Until one moment, "bang", the dormitory was completely dark!

"Shit! I didn't check the time, the lights are out!"

Cheng Yongyi then cursed: "What era is this? And the power is still out!!"

"Flashlight, flashlight!"

So the group of people started to clean up in a hurry, but they were all dizzy after drinking. Hui Chuankun bumped into the wine bottle, and it fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

What a mess of words.

Later, Lu Changge lay in bed and thought that maybe he should buy a house. He was also annoyed by the fact that the lights had to be turned off at 11 o'clock in the evening.
