Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 320, Chapter 318: A Partner with a Strong Gambling Spirit

"I like to dabble in stocks."

This statement sounds like an extremely casual joke.

But it wasn't until Dai Ying made her voice out, her pupils contracting in shock, that the two sisters on Jieyou's side realized what was happening.

It wasn't a joke after all!

Two little heads huddled next to the tablet.

Within seconds, it was as if an invisible mute button had been pressed in the living room.

Dai Ying fell silent.

Even Du Jianuo and He Min, who originally had different thoughts, were stunned by the sudden news, their eyes fixed on the long string of numbers as if drawn by a magnet.

Du Jianuo was taking small bites of a crispy croissant, with a bit of bread crumb still stuck to the corner of her mouth, when her movements froze completely.

His eyes were wide open, just like a frightened cat, filled with undisguised shock and bewilderment.

More than 20 million
Where did he get more than 20 million?
She screamed silently in her heart, her brain overloaded and unable to process such a massive amount of information.

As the first girl present to recognize Zhou Mingyuan, she knew that her boss was very rich.

Not only did Jieyou Media thrive, but her income as a top anchor also soared.

But that money is liquid.

It was expected.

It was accumulated little by little as the business developed.

But the numbers in front of you are real cash sitting in your stock account!
This is somewhat beyond her understanding of what it means to be rich.

No wonder the boss always seems so nonchalant about everything he does.
They just have that relaxed vibe!
Du Jianuo subconsciously looked at Zhou Mingyuan, who was still leaning lazily on the sofa, his profile clearly defined in the sunlight, his expression calm.

It's as if this number is ordinary, not at all a huge amount of assets that would allow an ordinary person to achieve financial freedom several times over.

A strange thought suddenly came to her.

That's exactly how it should be!

Our own boss is not only a king of traffic and a business genius, but also possesses such terrifying harvesting ability in the financial market.

Du Jianuo's heart pounded wildly, and her gaze towards Zhou Mingyuan held not only a hint of attachment but also an almost worshipful admiration.

The same was true for He Min on the other side.

Unlike Du Jianuo's undisguised expression, the assistant's reaction was more restrained, yet also more complex and turbulent.

The moment Zhou Mingyuan showed her the tablet, she had already noticed everything out of the corner of her eye.

Tens of millions.
She silently chanted in her heart, each digit acting as a heavy hammer, striking at her psychological defenses, which she thought were strong enough.

As Zhou Mingyuan's personal assistant, she was involved in the advancement of almost all of the core businesses of her boss's companies.

Having handled large contracts and financial transactions, she thought she knew Zhou Mingyuan's strength and plans well enough.

She knew he was exceptionally talented, that he was highly skilled, and that he would never rest on his laurels.

But He Min never expected that while she was diligently handling the company's daily operations, arranging every trip for him, and even having to bring him along, she would be in trouble.

He had quietly completed such an astonishing initial accumulation of capital.

He even had a secret he didn't know about!
So, what I knew was only the tip of the iceberg?

He never mentioned these things to me. Did he think it was unnecessary, or was he not qualified to know?
He Min always thought she was the person closest to him and the one who understood his business empire best.

Brokerage stocks.
Lanshi Heavy Equipment
How did the boss make that judgment?
When did you enter?

He made these decisions without asking for even the slightest help from himself.
A sense of being excluded washed over He Min.

She straightened her back, adjusting her posture to be even more meticulous, lowered her eyelids, and her thick eyelashes fluttered incessantly, trying to conceal the turbulent emotions in her eyes.

But her slightly tense fingertips still betrayed her inner turmoil.

"Mr. Zhou, if I remember correctly, Xiaomin told me you're only eighteen years old, right?"

"Logically speaking, you only entered the market this year at most. Did your family give you tens of millions to invest in stocks?"

"They're spoiling you way too much."

Dai Ying finally came to her senses and bombarded him with a barrage of questions, her eyes fixed on Zhou Mingyuan.

This is naturally the way a normal person thinks.

Aside from extremely wealthy second-generation heirs, who can keep so much cash in the stock market?

Even if a family is wealthy, very few people would take out eight figures in cash to let their children invest in stocks; that's simply outrageous!
It's important to know that even the most privileged family background, like that of Wang Gongzi from Wanda Group, meant that when he was eighteen, he diligently studied abroad to broaden his knowledge and experience.

Young Master Wang was even somewhat clueless about his family's financial situation until Old Wang felt he had matured and generously gave him 500 million yuan to start his business.

But the one in front of me...
What exactly does Mr. Zhou's family do?

The usually cheerful and talkative older sister from our business partner unconsciously added a touch of caution to her tone.

"No, no, Sister Dai, you're overthinking it."

Zhou Mingyuan could tell at a glance what the other person was trying to guess.

The man smiled and waved his hand, explaining.

"My family is just an ordinary family, how could they possibly give me so much money to invest in stocks?"

"I earned all this money myself, little by little."

"You earned it yourself?"

Dai Ying was even more surprised, and almost blurted out, "President Zhou, don't take advantage of us Taobao models because we're not well-educated!"

"I graduated from a legitimate economics department, okay!"

The fact that an 18-year-old college freshman made eight figures from scratch in the stock market has shattered Dai Ying's understanding and logic of the stock market.

"Really, look."

He generously spread his hands, gesturing for Dai Ying to look over.

"I made my first fortune by doing legal consulting, and then I invested the principal in the stock market, gradually building it up little by little."

Zhou Mingyuan clicked on the holdings details and historical transaction records next to it.

"Sister Dai, since you also have an economics background, do you know anything about the stock market?"

"I know a little about it."

Dai Ying nodded.

"Then you should remember the A-share market performance last year, especially from the fourth quarter onwards, right?"

Zhou Mingyuan countered with a question.

"Yes, the A-share market is indeed performing very well, a frenzy that hasn't been seen in many years."

"Yeah."

The man began to speak in detail.

"I noticed several key signals at the time."

"One is the official launch of the unified QR code, which marks the beginning of a new era for the securities industry and brings unprecedented opportunities."

"Another trend is the explosive growth of internet finance, with major securities firms forming alliances with internet giants. For example, Guojin Securities has partnered with Tencent, Huatai Securities with NetEase, and Dongwu Securities with Tonghuashun."

"These actions send a very clear signal."

"Policies are driving the trend, capital is pouring in, and technology is colliding fiercely with traditional finance."

"A tremendous historical opportunity tells me I must go all in."

As Dai Ying listened, she quickly and carefully browsed the transaction records on the screen.

She rubbed her eyes vigorously.

In mid-to-late October and early November of last year, Zhou Mingyuan bought several brokerage stocks in multiple batches.

This includes companies like XX Securities and YY Securities, which weren't particularly outstanding at the time but later saw astonishing growth.

In summary
He seems to rarely lose money and always makes a profit.

"Your first pot of gold was a million?"

Dai Ying quickly did some mental calculations and was startled again.

She knew that Zhou Mingyuan's Jieyou Media was profitable, but she never expected that Mr. Zhou's first pot of gold would come from the legal consulting industry.

To be able to so decisively allocate all cash to the stock market at that time last year, setting aside the question of cash flow management...
This courage to take risks is something that ordinary entrepreneurs can't match.

He's really daring to gamble!
"At that point, we were pretty much all in."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"At that time, market sentiment was still brewing, and many people were still wondering if this was another case of crying wolf."

"But I believe this is an epic rally in brokerage stocks that happens at least once every five to ten years. Once the bull market driven by leveraged funds starts, brokerages, as market amplifiers, will definitely be the biggest beneficiaries."

"So I used almost all the spare funds I had at the time and went all in."

".Awesome."

Dai Ying's mouth formed an "O" shape as she froze in shock.

She couldn't even maintain her ladylike demeanor and couldn't help but raise her voice to add, "You're really awesome."

Stock trading? You can actually trade stocks like this?

The transaction records are cold and real, revealing the subsequent market frenzy.

Starting in early November, the securities sector soared like a rocket.

The stocks held by Zhou Mingyuan generally saw astonishing gains of more than double or even three or four times in the following two months.

The curve on the screen representing total assets rises vertically and violently, almost defying gravity, creating a strong visual impact.

"Of course, that's not all."

Zhou Mingyuan took a sip of tea, seemingly feeling that Dai Ying's shock was not enough.

With a gentle swipe of my finger on the screen, I opened another separate holdings record.

"At that time, in addition to the main battlefield of brokerage stocks, I also allocated some funds to participate in market sentiment speculation on a small scale, as a hedge and to try my luck."

Soon, the three curious children spotted a stock with the code "603169".

The purchase was also made at the end of October last year, at an extremely low cost price.

"Lanshi Heavy Equipment?"

Dai Ying had a vague impression of this stock.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly widened her eyes, her bright eyes filled with eagerness.

What the hell!

She remembered that this stock seemed to be a speculative stock that emerged in the fourth quarter of last year.

Even in her university classmates' group chat, someone mentioned this.

Because of its extremely low issue price and its association with popular concepts such as nuclear power and high-end equipment, it was wildly speculated on by speculative funds and retail investors in the market.

Lanshi Re-equipped.

It hit the daily limit for more than a dozen consecutive days, which was a legend during that period.

"You...you even caught this?"

"More than a dozen consecutive daily price limits, how dare you?"

"I rely on!"

"Aren't you afraid of getting your account wiped out?"

"It's okay~"

Zhou Mingyuan smiled, neither admitting nor denying, and simply shrugged.

"Luck plays a major role."

"Well, I observed that after it went public, its momentum seemed unstoppable."

"I admire it!"

"I felt it perfectly fit the short-term speculative model of low-priced new stocks + strong themes, so I used a small portion of my funds to follow the trend and bought some. I didn't expect the market's enthusiasm to far exceed my expectations, so it was a pleasant surprise."

"This world is so unfair."

Dai Ying was completely speechless.

She looked at the volatile stock lying quietly in Zhou Mingyuan's account, and then at the astonishing returns and millions of dollars in profit it brought, and took a deep breath.

An urge to take a picture and send it to my classmates to show off arose spontaneously.

However, she knew that Zhou Mingyuan was willing to share the secret with her as a business partner because of trust.

Taking photos to show off was out of the question; she could only clench her hands and sigh inwardly.

Who in the family understands?

I, Dai Ying, have no idea I know such a powerful financial tycoon!

I just fucking signed a shareholding agreement with him!
Despite working in the clothing industry, Dai Ying is a graduate with a solid bachelor's degree in economics.

She was fully aware of what was behind Zhou Mingyuan's actions.

What Mr. Zhou said was ordinary, but it can't be explained by just good luck.

He has an extremely keen perception of human greed and the frenzy of market sentiment.

What's most admirable is that Zhou Mingyuan has the courage to risk his life.

The unique and precious qualities of entrepreneurs.

"So, Sister Dai."

Zhou Mingyuan reached out, took the tablet back, and decisively locked the screen.

What you see now is only a part of my liquid assets.

"The confidence that supports me in laying out the supply chain, envisioning the future of the brand, and putting my ideas into practice in three stages largely comes from this."

Do you think that's enough?

The man's gaze sharpened again as he looked at Dai Ying.

"I am a rather independent person, and I cannot and will not place all my hopes on a single business line."

He leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between himself and Dai Ying.

"Investing in the core factory?"

"As long as the ROI and the product are suitable, the funds can be started at any time."

“The relevant budget and talent can be planned now, and even the warehousing and fabric research and development you mentioned in the future, all these projects that sound heavy and expensive, don’t need to worry.”

"In my view, all of them are options that can be included in the formal discussion."

The sunlight grew increasingly intense, illuminating the entire living room.

These seemingly simple words carried immense weight, stirring up waves in Dai Ying's heart.

"."

Dai Ying took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

All her previous tests and worries vanished at this moment.

Instead, there was an unprecedented sense of security and the relief of hitting the super treasure chest.

Where did this celestial being descend to earth come from?

The boy in front of me has a frighteningly keen business sense, the ability to turn traffic into a flood, and an indomitable gambling spirit.

They dare to make big bets at crucial moments, and their profits are incredibly precise.

By cooperating with him, how am I the one who benefits?

They've clearly latched onto a golden thigh with unlimited potential and plenty of resources!

She picked up the ice-cold latte in front of her, disregarding all decorum, and took a big gulp as if drinking alcohol, then stood up.

"Stop talking, Mr. Zhou~"

Dai Ying's eyes sparkled as she cleared her throat and spoke.

"do not worry."

"From today onwards, I belong to you!"
