Chapter 82 Stock Trading
Zhang Liangjun certainly wouldn't sell himself out.
Now that the main party had been found, after exchanging pleasantries, both sides officially entered the business negotiation stage. To Yang Xiuyuan's astonishment, Zhang Liangjun quoted a price of fifty-five million.
"Of course not! That price is too high!" President Luo shook his head and rejected the price!
Yang Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief! Earning tens of millions by playing computer games for a few years? That's unbelievable! Luckily, the other party didn't agree, otherwise Yang Xiuyuan's views on money would have been severely shaken!
After shaking his head, Mr. Luo continued, "At most, it can reach forty million! That's basically the limit!"
Yang Xiuyuan: "..."
The negotiations ended quickly. Zhang Liangjun wasn't very good at negotiating; he only knew the bottom line, around fifty million, and was happy with anything close to that amount, even if it meant taking a loss. Mr. Luo, on the other hand, was trying to cultivate a good relationship with Zhang Liangjun. At such a young age, he had already created a good website with an impressive number of visitors. He thought that when Zhang Liangjun grew up, he would become a big shot, and it was best not to antagonize him.
With trembling hands, Yang Xiuyuan signed the contract on behalf of Zhang Liangjun, and the two parties quickly reached a cooperation agreement.
Zhang Liangjun invited his "father" from the city back to help entertain the guests from the capital.
When Zhang Zhipeng heard that his "son" had made a stunning debut by accepting tens of millions of yuan, he was so shocked he almost fell off his chair. Only after Yang Xiuyuan carefully explained the whole process did Zhang Zhipeng breathe a sigh of relief! An hour later, they returned to Daishan and received the entire delegation from the capital at the place where they usually hosted higher-level leaders; Zhang Liangjun was also present.
Zhang Liangjun was very knowledgeable and spoke eloquently at the dinner table. Zhang Zhipeng was also a high-ranking official, so the group from the capital did not act arrogantly. For a time, everyone enjoyed themselves.
On the way home, Zhang Liangjun said, "Dad, transfer most of the money out of your house, just keep some pocket money for yourself."
Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and said, "This is money you earned yourself. And Xiaojun, you've grown up and are an adult now. How you spend this money is up to you. If you're willing, just tell me what you're going to do with it."
Zhang Liangjun glanced at Zhang Zhipeng, then nodded with a smile. Some people just deserve to enjoy life! Like those officials!
Although his family had a large sum of money, Zhang Liangjun still wanted to continue his studies. In his previous two lives, Zhang Liangjun hadn't achieved the top scholar status he desired. This time, however, he wanted to give it a try, especially since he now had a cheat code in mathematics, so his chances were much better!
The three years of high school flew by.
For the past three years, Zhang Liangjun has kept a very low profile, afraid of attracting attention. His clothing is unremarkable, and he deliberately conceals his handsome face, making him easily blend into a crowd. Even his exam scores have remained at a generally average level.
Only the teacher knew that Zhang Liangjun was unfairly grading, because he got almost all the questions right! The teacher even talked to Zhang Liangjun, who only said that he wanted to keep a low profile and would work harder in the later part of his senior year!
The reason for keeping a low profile is to avoid letting the passive skill "sour grapes" affect strangers. After all, it's a passive skill, and can't be controlled at will—that's a major drawback! Fortunately, as long as no one likes Zhang Liangjun, this skill is ineffective. And most of the girls in the class are of marriageable age; if a few were to develop feelings for Zhang Liangjun, the resulting sour grapes could have unimaginable consequences! And what if that girl isn't pretty…
Zhang Liangjun withdrew some funds and started investing in stocks again. After all, the stock market is the fastest way to make money. With money, you can do anything, even nothing at all!
Stock trading became available in China via computer in 1996, but it required Yang Xiuyuan's identity. Yang Xiuyuan initially didn't want Zhang Liangjun to trade stocks, as it resembled gambling. Zhang Liangjun promised to only trade a small portion of his funds and that the card holding the majority of his money could be kept with Yang Xiuyuan, which finally convinced her to open an account at the trading hall.
After studying stocks, Zhang Liangjun was delighted. He not only understood the overall market trend and remembered some key stock points, but he could also subconsciously uncover traces of stock manipulation based on numerical information, thereby analyzing future trends. He never imagined that one skill could be so useful!
While Zhang Liangjun was trading stocks, Xiaoming was secretly watching from behind. He loved watching the numbers jump around; he thought they were beautiful!
Xiao Ming's reaction caught Zhang Liangjun's attention. When learning programming, Zhang Liangjun had tried teaching Xiao Ming, but although Xiao Ming's logic was clear, he disliked English and just randomly clicked the mouse. Zhang Liangjun reluctantly gave up on teaching him programming. But stock trading was something Xiao Ming could try!
Xiaoming's stock trading results really surprised Zhang Liangjun! At first, he only gave Xiaoming five thousand yuan as an experiment to teach him how to operate the software. Even if he lost it all, Zhang Liangjun wouldn't feel too bad.
After losing three or four hundred, Xiaoming stopped making mistakes and his stock trading became very smooth.
After observing for a few weeks, Zhang Liangjun decided to let Xiaoming invest in stocks. Zhang Liangjun gave Xiaoming 400,000 yuan, saying that if he made money, it would be used to subsidize the nursing home; if he lost money, it would be considered a loss.
Yang Xiuyuan initially thought Zhang Liangjun was teaching Xiaoming how to play computer games, but even after getting closer, she couldn't understand what they were playing. Both of them loved math; were they playing some kind of math game?
Zhang Liangjun selected a few stocks to hold long-term, and then focused on his studies, no longer paying attention to Xiaoming's stock trading.
Just before the college entrance exam, Zhang Liangjun opened his trading software to check his balance. Wow! He had deposited 400,000 yuan, and after two years of neglect, it had grown to 1.7 million yuan! Zhang Liangjun withdrew most of the money, leaving only 400,000 yuan for Xiaoming.
Zhang Liangjun patted Xiaoming's head and praised him for doing a good job. Xiaoming was very happy! He shook Zhang Liangjun's hand and asked him for candy.
Zhang Liangjun generously gave Xiaoming a lollipop!
Xiao Ming has a mental issue, he's not stupid. If the right educational methods are found, he's actually very capable! At the very least, he could do something that most people can't, like memorizing pi...
Zhang Liangjun and Xiaoming share the same talent. Zhang Liangjun can roughly sense Xiaoming's thoughts. Combining his decades of teaching experience, he provides Xiaoming with specialized education, which is laborious but highly effective!
Zhang Liangjun told Yang Xiuyuan about Xiaoming's stock trading, gave her all his three million yuan savings, and also mentioned the plan to subsidize the nursing home. This was a non-profit nursing home that previously relied mainly on social donations and government funding, primarily government funding. However, the amount was ultimately limited, so Yang Xiuyuan was happy if there could be a continuous source of income for the nursing home.
Zhang Liangjun's money was not used for charity. His money still has a purpose. In a few years, it can multiply many times over, and then a special fund can be set aside to do more things.
Zhang Liangjun didn't realize that he had already been somewhat infected with the saintly tendencies.
…………
Time flew by before the college entrance exam, and Zhang Liangjun, once again, failed to achieve the top score. He came in second in the province, only four points behind the first place. He scored full marks in math and the combined science subjects, but it's likely he lost two more points on his Chinese and English essays! Disheartened by missing out on the top spot, Zhang Liangjun was somewhat dejected. This title, indeed, was not meant for him!
Zhang Liangjun applied to Shanghai University of Technology, the same school he'd spent half his life there in his previous life, and wanted to reminisce. He didn't choose mechanical engineering again, opting instead for computer science. Computer science was still a popular major these days, but Zhang Liangjun's grades were so good that he could choose any major at any university in Shanghai.
