Chapter 26 Where does the first pot of gold come from Generally speaking, the fact that the beautiful Yu Xian and Chen Zhao Huang Baihan greeted each other during physical exercise during break would be discussed at least for a period of time in school. But when the return of the south wind ended and the days entered April, everyone suddenly stopped thinking about gossip. Because the line of red chalk words on the classroom blackboard has changed to - 68 days left until the college entrance examination! In addition, the second province-wide mock exam will be held in mid-April. Everyone knows the importance of the second mock exam. There is no need for teachers to encourage them. These high school students put pressure on themselves. However, April has one more thing for Chen Zhuo, that is, there will be a visit to CUHK by a prestigious school at the beginning of the month. He has now completely adapted to the life and rhythm of high school. He went to and from school on time every day, and listened during math, physics, chemistry and Chinese classes. I also listened to the English class, and if I didn’t understand, I would stare at the test paper or the illustrations in the book. This seems to be a habit I developed since elementary school. I like to look at textbook illustrations when I have nothing to do, and fantasize about being able to live in the illustrations. I didn't expect that after being reborn, I would still be attracted by these cute pictures. Huang Baihan has been very anxious recently, and he has to complain to Chen Zhuo almost every day to relieve stress. Today, on the bus on the way home, he said to Chen Zhuo with a worried look on his face: "I did the actual physics test paper for the college entrance exam two years ago during evening self-study. I got several of the big questions wrong. I hope I won't fail to get into university in the end."

This is a typical pre-exam syndrome. The closer the exam gets, the more unfamiliar the knowledge feels, and the harder you work on the questions, the less you feel you have mastered the knowledge. In the end, it was like staring at a Chinese character for a long time and finally not recognizing it. All the knowledge points that were once very familiar in my mind were forgotten. However, this kind of psychological problem can only be solved by Huang Baihan himself, and Chen can only give a few words of comfort at most. "Hey!" Huang Baihan rubbed his groggy temples and said tiredly, "Senior year is so tiring. If my dad were the president of the United States, would I be able to skip the college entrance exam and go straight to college? And I could find a good job after graduation." "precious." Chen smiled and said, "When did you become so cautious even in your dreams? If your father is the president, you have to change your mindset that you can only get paid if you work." Huang Baihan couldn't help but smile foolishly after hearing this. Although his life now was tiring and hard, he was fortunate to have friends to accompany him. Friendship and vision of the future are the guiding lights for high school students like Huang Baihan in their last boring and dark days. Sure enough, young friends are collectors of each other’s youth. "Chen Zhe." Huang Baihan suddenly asked, "Now that you've been admitted to university, what are you going to do? I heard that there aren't so many homework assignments in university, and there are a lot of weird clubs. Do you plan to join them?" "me……" Chen thought about it and realized that there were actually a lot of things he wanted to do. However, the first step should not be college, but the summer vacation after the college entrance examination. "We'll talk about university matters in college." Chen said modestly, "I just want to make some pocket money in the summer after the college entrance examination." "Business?" Huang Baihan automatically understood "earning some pocket money" as "doing business". His family runs a small restaurant, so he subconsciously asked: "Doing business requires costs. Even if you open a small restaurant, you have to buy vegetables, meat and noodles in advance. Where do you get the capital?" Chen Zhuo had already considered this point, and shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is actually some capital, although it's not much, but it's reasonable, legal and compliant, and it's not stolen, robbed or cheated."

"where?" Huang Baihan asked blankly: "How can a high school student like you have the capital? Are you thinking that you can pick up money on the road?" "Depend on!" Chen Zhuo couldn't help but want to give Huang Baihan a brain slap: "Don't you have to hold a graduation party when you get into university? I plan to take all the red envelopes and use them as starting capital." In 2007, when the Eight Regulations had not yet been introduced, if a child was admitted to a university, a graduation banquet would basically be held. Moreover, even if the child was admitted to a regular university, a graduation banquet would still be held to take back the red envelopes that had been given out. "Will your parents give it to you?" Huang Baihan was a little skeptical. After all, all the red envelopes he received since he was a child were taken away before they could even get warm in the cup. His parents even gave them the beautiful name of “saving them for you to use when you grow up and get married.” "You have to give it to me!" Chen said confidently: "I will negotiate with them before the exam. They must give me the red envelope for the entrance banquet, or they can count it as borrowed. If they don't agree, I will deliberately take the college entrance examination to embarrass my parents in the company." "Awesome! You're still so cruel!" Huang Baihan couldn't help but give a thumbs up. He occasionally went to Chen Zhuo's house to play and knew that Aunt Mao Xiaoqin had always been proud of Chen Zhuo's academic performance. If Chen Zhuo used this to threaten her, she would most likely agree. "Why don't you just threaten your parents in the same way?" Chen Zhuo really felt that his own red envelope was not enough, so he suggested to Huang Baihan: "Bring your graduation banquet red envelope as well, and let's do something together." "What do you want to do? Can you make money?" Huang Baihan was also a little tempted. It wasn't that he had to make a lot of money, but he was eager to participate in a world that was different from the high school campus. "You do not trust me?" Chen Zhuo said unhappily, "The total amount of red envelopes for the two of us for the graduation banquet should be at least 5 yuan. Do you believe that I can turn it into 10 yuan in one night?" "real or fake?" Although Chen never boasted before, Huang Baihan still didn't think that a 17-year-old boy could double his profits overnight. 5 becomes 10, it will take my own small restaurant several months to make that much money. "I tell you……" Chen was about to tell Huang Baihan the secret to doubling his money, and Da Huang hurried over. He also looked around, fearing that other people on the bus would hear it. "There's a new Internet cafe downstairs from my house. I saw a notice saying that as long as you top up more than 1 yuan, you can get as many as you want. If we top up 5 yuan, wouldn't it be 10 yuan right away... Da Huang, Da Huang, why are you ignoring me..." "Chen Zhe, you are an idiot! I told you there is no industry that can double the profit in one night!" Huang Baihan was teased and said angrily. "is it?" Chen responded lightly, then suddenly looked outside the bus. His expression lost its previous ease and humor, and his gaze gradually became deep and sharp. Not far away, a building called "Yuefa Securities" was still brightly lit. ······ Civil servants cannot do business, but they do have several legal sources of income besides their salary, and stock trading is one of them.

Chen Zhe is also good at stock trading, but his level is certainly not very high. If he were reborn after 2015, he would probably not touch this thing. But in 2007, stocks could not only move, but move dramatically. The 2008 Olympic Games held in China not only demonstrated China's cultural and economic strength to the world, but was also an important step in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. With the support of various infrastructure projects, the domestic A-share market has been rising all the way. 从2007年下半年开始，一直到到2008年1月，期间上证指数从2000多点上涨至6000多点。 What does more than 6000 points mean? In 2024, when Chen Zhe had not traveled through time, the Shanghai Composite Index was still hovering around 3000 points, which shows how crazy the impact of the Olympics was. There was a saying at that time that the old lady selling vegetables in the farmers' market would not lose money even if she went to trade stocks. The old lady won't lose money, so Chen Zhe will certainly not suffer any loss. Anyway, he will just keep his eyes on tourism, infrastructure, real estate, transportation and other sectors and make crazy purchases. These are all typical Olympic concept stocks. As for new energy, military, and technology, just don't touch them. Of course, you won't lose money if you do, you just will earn less. However, just when everyone was obsessed with the stock market and even shouted the slogan of "breaking through 10000 points", the US subprime mortgage crisis suddenly broke out and the second economic crisis swept the world. As a result of the impact, the Shanghai Composite Index had fallen back to more than 2008 points by the end of 1000. The bigger the profits in 2007, the bigger the losses in 2008. This is the stark contrast between the stock market in 07 and 08. Almost everyone who trades stocks knows this. But to Chen Zhuo, there is only fire and no ice in the stock market, because he knows when is the most appropriate point to sell, even if someone tries to stop him at that time, the subprime mortgage crisis will help to slap him in the face. and so: Chen is holding the capital he has after his rebirth - the red envelope from the entrance banquet. Use the red envelopes from graduation banquets to invest in stocks and earn your first pot of gold. Use this first pot of gold to lay the foundation for the conception and layout of future industries. Just like the “three-step” approach to handling grassroots conflicts, this is also Chen Zhuo’s three-step plan after his rebirth. However, the capital of the red envelope for the graduation banquet was too small. Even if Huang Baihan was brought in, it would not be enough. Chen decided to bring Zhao Yuanyuan into the stock trading team as well. The fat girl's family conditions are similar to mine, so the red envelope for her graduation banquet should be at least 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. She was thinking about this all the way home. In addition to preparing bread and hot milk as usual, Mao Xiaoqin also handed over a set of freshly washed school uniform. "Mom, you don't have to change your school uniform so often." Chen Zhuo casually said that he only changed his coat once every few days. "Aren't you going to visit Zhongda tomorrow?" Mao Xiaoqin said: "We must dress neatly, after all, we represent the reputation of Zhixin Middle School." Chen Zhao then realized that he had an appointment with a prestigious school tomorrow. ······ (Please give me a monthly ticket. Thank you.) (End of this chapter)
