Reborn as a landlord in Shanghai

Chapter 110 Another week has passed.

While Mao Xiaoyu was busy with Hong Kong stocks, Li Mingyue, who was keeping an eye on the A-share market in mainland China, didn't see much change.

If there's any change to be made, it's the stocks that Mao Xiaoyu bought. After such a long period of purchasing, by this week, all four major securities companies had completed their purchases, and now all that's left is to wait for the stocks to appreciate in value.

Mao Xiaoyu has invested a total of 2500 million RMB in domestic A-shares, including 500 million RMB in Guangzhou Shipyard International, 500 million RMB in Dongshan Gold, 300 million RMB in Yunnan Tin, 500 million RMB in Nanyun Copper, 500 million RMB in Zhongjin Gold, 100 million RMB in Moutai Liquor, and 100 million RMB in Chihong Zinc & Germanium.

All of these investments were distributed among the four major securities companies.

The first company, Orient Securities, had assets of 600 million RMB, of which 500 million RMB was used to purchase shares of Guangzhou Shipyard International and 100 million RMB was used to purchase shares of Chihong Zinc & Chemical Co., Ltd.

Mao Xiaoyu has bought a total of 2.184 million shares of Guangzhou Shipyard International. With the current share price of 3.38 yuan per share, the total market value of Mao Xiaoyu's shares in Guangzhou Shipyard International has reached about 518 million yuan, which can be considered as a small profit.

As for the additional RMB 1 million invested in Chihong Zinc & Chemical Co., Ltd., which was used to purchase 117,600 shares, the stock price of Chihong Zinc & Chemical Co., Ltd. has been hovering around RMB 8.4 recently. Therefore, the shares held by Mao Xiaoyu in Chihong Zinc & Chemical Co., Ltd. have depreciated slightly and are now only worth RMB 999,600, which can be considered a small loss.

Overall, Mao Xiaoyu's investment of 6 million RMB in Dongfang Securities resulted in a profit of over 100,000 RMB in stocks, which looked much better on the surface.

As for the second account at Guoxin Securities, Mao Xiaoyu also had 6 million RMB in funds, of which 5 million...

He spent 10 million RMB to buy shares in China Gold, and 1 million RMB to buy shares in Moutai liquor.

Of these, China Gold holds 833,500 shares. Currently, each share of China Gold is priced at 6.13 yuan. Therefore, the total assets of China Gold are slightly over 5.1 million yuan. In terms of the stock market, this amount is really not much money.

The 18,400 shares of Moutai liquor remained unchanged, but the share price rose to 54 yuan per share, and the total amount also increased to 999,600 yuan. Although the price is rising, this investment has not yet been recouped.

If you do the math, you haven't made much money on these two Guoxin Securities stocks. If you sell them, you'll probably only break even.

The third company, CITIC Securities, had assets of 7 million RMB, of which 2 million RMB was used to purchase shares of Dongshan Gold and 5 million RMB was used to purchase shares of Nanyun Copper.

The number of Dongshan Gold shares remains the same, at 290,300. The stock price has risen slightly since then, now reaching 7.76 yuan. Based on this price, Mao Xiaoyu has earned approximately 250,000 yuan.

As for the shares of Nanyun Copper that I purchased for 5 million RMB, the purchase is complete. I bought a total of 1,483,000 shares. The current share price of Nanyun Copper is 3.47 RMB, which is slightly higher than when I bought it, but I haven't made much money.

As for Great Wall Securities, Mao Xiaoyu also had 600 million RMB in funds, which allowed them to purchase 300 million RMB worth of Yunnan Tin shares and 300 million RMB worth of Dongshan Gold.

Among them, Yunnan Tin Co., Ltd. purchased a total of 608,000 shares. Currently, the share price of Yunnan Tin Co., Ltd. is around 5.21 yuan. The increase is not too much, but it is still a little bit.

As for the shares of Dongshan Gold purchased for 3 million RMB, a total of 387,200 shares were purchased. At the current share price of 7.76 RMB, not much money was actually made; at most, it could only be considered as breaking even.

Judging from the amount and quantity of stocks purchased by Mao Xiaoyu, it's clear that even if Mao Xiaoyu had chosen four talented stock traders to buy stocks for her, she wouldn't gain much advantage in the domestic stock market.

The main issue is the domestic A-share market environment, which not only has price limits, but more importantly, it prohibits selling on the same day you buy, plus various legal constraints. Ordinary traders don't really care, but genius traders simply can't unleash their full potential.

Of course, even so, it doesn't really matter to Mao Xiaoyu. The A-share market is all about buying the future. Since she has already bought the stock, as long as it doesn't crash, there won't be any problems. Now she just has to wait for the stock price to skyrocket.

However, if it's going to rise, it won't be until around the end of the year. Right now, Mao Xiaoyu is just hoping that these stocks don't fall too much, since the 25 million RMB investment hasn't really increased much.

If you factor in bank interest and other expenses, Mao Xiaoyu's stock investments are still losing money!

Of course, the losses were also Mao Xiaoyu's responsibility. The accounts looked okay, and Mao Xiaoyu had made it clear to Li Mingyue that if the price really fell to a dangerous level, she should call her, and she would definitely add margin then, ensuring A wouldn't be left holding the bag.

The stock price plummeted.

Time flies! After another 5 days of fierce competition, it's finally Friday noon at 4 pm and we've finished work perfectly.

This week, Du Yue and Peng Yu have gained much more than last week.

On the last day of last week, in an attempt to lower the stock price for the following week, Du Yue and Peng Yu directly released 3 million shares of Teng A.

Although this led to Tencent's stock price returning to its current level last week, it also meant that Mao Xiaoyu only acquired 600 million shares of Tencent stock last week.

This week, Du Yue and Peng Yu did not release any more Tencent shares. In addition, Mao Xiaoyu increased the number of ordinary traders following up with buy orders this week.

This resulted in Mao Xiaoyu acquiring a total of 11 million Tencent shares this week, 2 million more than when she hadn't sold any last week.

However, due to the large number of shares being acquired, the acquisition price of Tencent's shares this week was slightly higher. If the previous 6 million shares are included, the average price per share reached 4.2 yuan.

Based on 17 million shares, the total cost so far is HK$71.4 million, while the account balance is HK$26.1 million.

HKD 10,000.

Even so, Mao Xiaoyu had already made a fortune. After all, when the market closed on Friday, Tencent's stock price was 7.31 yuan per share, a rise of more than one yuan in five days. This was only because Mao Xiaoyu didn't have much capital left, so she stopped trying to lower the price.

If Wang Xiaoyu continues to suppress Tencent's stock price, it might drop even further.

But there's no need for that anymore. After all, the higher Tencent's stock price rises, the more money Mao Xiaoyu will earn. At the current price of HK$7.31, Mao Xiaoyu's 17 million shares are worth HK$124.27 million, which exceeds the HK$97.5 million he raised.

Moreover, Mao Xiaoyu still has HK$2610 in cash. If this money is used to raise Tencent's stock price, it can raise the stock price by at least one or two dollars.

Seeing such results, Mao Xiaoyu was very satisfied. After all, the 17 million shares of Tencent stock she held accounted for more than 1% of Tencent's total shares, which Tencent publicly disclosed as 1.68 billion shares.

Honestly, seeing so many stocks, Mao Xiaoyu was reluctant to sell them to Zhang Lei. After all, she had spent two weeks buying them. If these stocks were kept for more than ten years, they would be worth a solid 500 billion!

However, Mao Xiaoyu also knew that these stocks had to be sold, otherwise, where would she get the money to pay Du Yue and Peng Yu?

According to the contract, the three parties should contribute HK$16 million within three months at most. Although Du Yue and Peng Yu each borrowed HK$4.5 million, they had to pay all the money themselves first!

If he didn't sell his Tencent shares, where would he get the HK$16 million? So even if he was reluctant, he had to sell them anyway. At worst, he could have Du Yue and Peng Yu slowly acquire Tencent shares on the stock market.

But I wonder where Zhang Lei is now? Has he come to Hong Kong yet? Or is he still on a business trip in mainland China?

If he conducts research in mainland China, then his acquisition of Tencent's shares will have to wait for some time.

If this guy has already arrived in Hong Kong, it means his acquisition of Tencent's shares is imminent.

Therefore, Mao Xiaoyu made a special call back to Shanghai to her private lawyer, Liu Yue, asking her to contact her friends at Renmin University of China to see if anyone knew Zhang Lei's private phone number.

After all, Zhang Lei graduated from Renmin University of China. Whether it's alumni or the school, they would probably have his phone number. You know, in China, alumni connections are indispensable if you want to make a name for yourself. So Mao Xiaoyu thought it shouldn't be a problem to find Zhang Lei's phone number.

Mao Xiaoyu planned to get his phone number first, and then, if things went wrong in the stock market and some institutions made large-scale acquisitions, she would call to test the waters and see if it was the other party who was buying.

Of course, these are all minor matters. Even if Zhang Lei doesn't buy them, it won't be a big deal for Mao Xiaoyu. After all, the Tencent stock that Mao Xiaoyu acquired was really cheap. If she sold it at the market price, she could make a lot of money.

"Sister Du, Brother Peng, let's go back. Let's take a shower first, then have some food. We can also talk about where you two plan to buy a house in two months. If possible, or if not, we can go and look at some houses in the next two days. This will help us prepare for settling down in Hong Kong."

Seeing that all the ordinary traders from HSBC had left, Mao Xiaoyu called out to Du Yue and Peng Yu.

"Okay, Young Master Mao, we're coming." Du Yue and Feng Yu were tidying up their worktables, after all, this was all for eating—

Even those who cook still need to tidy up their worktables after finishing their work.

In this way, the two spent more than ten minutes tidying up the worktable, and then chatted as they left the HSBC Securities Department with Mao Xiaoyu.

"If you ask me, it would be better to buy a house in Causeway Bay or Wan Chai. That's the most luxurious area in Hong Kong. If you buy there, it'll definitely be lively," Peng Yu said casually as he walked.

"To be honest, I don't really like places like Causeway Bay and Wan Chai. These places are too noisy, and the cost of living and housing prices are high. We can't afford a very big place with our money. If the house is too small, it won't be comfortable for us, since we're used to living in big houses in China."

Moreover, as traders, we need a quiet place, so I think we might as well buy a village house, not far from the city, to use as our company address. That way, the house is cheaper and the living environment is spacious.

"If possible, we should buy a vegetable plot and grow a vegetable. That would be even better, so that when we're not managing the market on Saturdays and Sundays, we can relax and unwind. As for places like Causeway Bay and Wan Chai, if you, Peng Yu, want to come and do business there when you have more money, then come on over," Du Yue objected.

Upon hearing Du Yue's words, Peng Yu shrugged and said, "Alright, since Sister Du has said so, I'll listen to you. Buying a village house is the same."

Seeing Peng Yu back down like this, Mao Xiaoyu was already used to it. After all, Du Yue was not only assertive at work, but also more capable than Peng Yu. More importantly, Peng Yu was younger, and Du Yue was a woman, so Peng Yu had always given in to her, and he had gotten used to it.

"Since Sister Du has said so, let's take advantage of the two days we have here tomorrow and the day after to research the village houses in Hong Kong and see where we should buy one," Mao Xiaoyu said.

"I've been doing some research these past few days, and I feel that the village houses in Tai Po, Tuen Mun, and Sha Tin are pretty good. Plus, these three areas are a bit more convenient to get to the bustling areas of Hong Kong, and the houses are quite cheap. Some village houses can be bought for just two or three million Hong Kong dollars." The woman was quite meticulous. When talking about houses, Du Yue spoke eloquently. It seemed that she had done a lot of research these past few days, figuring out where to stay when she came to Hong Kong.

"Alright then, there's no trading these days anyway, so we can take a look around. If we like it, we can reserve the house first. If possible, we can each buy a village house and the three of us can live together. That would be the best," Mao Xiaoyu said, not wanting to dampen Du Yue's enthusiasm.

"Okay, let's get up early tomorrow morning and go take a look." Du Yue was quite enthusiastic about this.

Next, Du Yue talked about her hobby of decorating the house, planting flowers and plants inside the village house, and said something like, "If there were a piece of land, that would be even better." She was particularly patient and thoughtful when she talked about this.

Mao Xiaoyu and Peng Yu exchanged a glance and listened patiently to Du Yue's words, occasionally chiming in with their own comments.
