161 The Stock Market is Risky, Enter with Caution
Wang Heng sat at the desk in his bedroom, opened his laptop, and first replied to the email from Lead Designer Wu of NetEase.
Regarding the suggestions for distributing the survey questionnaire, Lead Designer Wu expressed his satisfaction and said it had already been arranged. Three days later, the collected feedback data would be sent over for Wang Heng to process.
Of course, he was going to hand over this part of the work to Han Yixuan.
Wang Heng opened the girl’s Q number, sent a screenshot of the email, and added a line: 【I’ll leave it to you in three days.】
Two minutes later, Han Yixuan replied: 【No problem!】
Wang Heng nodded, closed the Q chat window, and opened the securities trading software he had downloaded earlier.
Counting the days, there were only two days left before the stock the hamster mentioned would resume trading. And the last time he operated stock trading was in the first timeline, which in his subjective memory was already two or three years ago. Now opening the trading software again, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
“Right, I seem to have forgotten to open an account… Do I still need to do it in person now?”
Wang Heng read through the account opening instructions and found that he indeed needed to make a trip. Fortunately, this brokerage firm also had a branch in this city, and he could get there by bus, so it wasn’t too troublesome.
He took his ID card and bank card, went out, and arrived at the bus stop.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was Pei Ningle calling.
Wang Heng answered the call, and before he could ask, he heard the girl’s cheerful voice:
“Hey, hey, hey, the song I posted on NetEase Cloud Music suddenly got a lot of plays! And there are dozens more comments in the comment section below!”
“Dozens of comments…”
The girl immediately emphasized, “And you know what? They are basically all positive reviews, not a single bad one!”
Wang Heng thought for a moment and asked, “Did someone add your song to a playlist?”
Pei Ningle: “Playlist?”
Wang Heng: “For unknown singers, playlists are one of the best ways to promote. And now there are still very few users of NetEase Cloud Music, and very few people making playlists. In a sense, it’s a blue ocean…”
Pei Ningle: “Blue ocean?”
“Little kid, why do you have so many question marks?” Wang Heng complained and explained, “The so-called blue ocean is a market with very few participants and little competition. Correspondingly, there is the red ocean, with fierce competition. Advertising through Qiandu is already a red ocean, but NetEase Cloud Music’s playlists should still be a blue ocean.”
Pei Ningle let out a long “Oh,” seeming to have a sudden realization, but then asked immediately, “What does this have to do with us?”
At this time, the bus he wanted to take had arrived. Wang Heng got on the bus, took out a one-yuan bill and stuffed it into the coin box, holding his phone in his other hand and continuing to speak:
“Of course it matters. You usually use NetEase Cloud Music to listen to songs too, right? You can create a playlist yourself, recommend the music you like to people with similar tastes, and accumulate fans. If your playlist can have thousands or tens of thousands of favorites, and then you put your own song at the top, what kind of promotion effect do you think that would be?”
Now, the girl truly had a sudden realization. “That makes sense! I can indeed do that. I’ll go figure it out now!”
Pei Ningle hung up the phone in a hurry, even forgetting to say ‘goodbye’.
Wang Heng put away his phone and glanced around the carriage. Although there were no empty seats, there were no familiar faces either, which made him feel slightly relieved.
Less than half an hour later, Wang Heng got off the bus, walked a few dozen meters, and arrived at the business outlet of the brokerage firm.
“Hello, welcome. Are you here to open an account?”
Behind the counter, a young female clerk in an office lady suit stood up, put on a professional smile, and asked.
Wang Heng walked to the counter. “Yes, open an account.”
“Okay, then please sit down. You need to fill out these forms and questionnaires first.”
Wang Heng sat down at the counter, took a few sheets of paper, picked up a pen, and glanced at them first.
There was more than one form, and what needed to be filled in was basically personal information. Soon, he filled them all out, and then picked up the questionnaire.
“This is a risk assessment questionnaire. I hope you answer as truthfully as possible,” the female clerk reminded him.
Wang Heng nodded and started ticking the multiple-choice questions.
Main source of income? Earned 700,000 in one wave of Bitcoin, of course, choose financial asset income.
Any outstanding debts? Excluding romantic debts, not a penny of debt.
Amount of assets available for investment? A full 700,000, so choose the 500,000-1,000,000 yuan option.
Rich investment experience or not? No kidding, extremely rich.
Time for securities investment? Considering the bull market starting at the end of this year and the stock market crash next summer, of course, choose two years.
Maximum investment transaction amount ever? Counting the wave of helping Lu Qi invest, of course, choose more than one million…
Then the risk preference part:
Primary goal when investing? The riskiest one, pursuing substantial asset growth.
Maximum investment loss bearable? Don’t think I will lose, so losing the principal doesn’t matter.
His principle in answering these questions was simple. The investment strategy was all-in, betting all chips, full send!
After finishing this assessment questionnaire, Wang Heng handed it over.
The young female clerk took a look and was instantly stunned. She looked carefully at the ticked options again, then sized up the young man in front of her who was even younger than herself, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure you filled this out truthfully?”
Wang Heng took out his bank card. “I have nearly 700,000 in chips, and my hunger is unbearable.”
Female clerk: “…”
In this instant, she felt the wonder of the world. A young boy who looked so young actually showed an impatient expression when talking about ‘chips’. The confidence and desire in that look were so real.
She pointed to a slogan on the wall and reminded him, “Do you see what that is? The stock market is risky, enter with caution!”
Wang Heng nodded and took a few deep breaths. In the blink of an eye, his expression returned to calm, and he said indifferently, “No need to worry about me. Open the account. What I filled in just now is all true.”
“All true… You really have 700,000 to invest?”
“That’s right.”
The female clerk was speechless for a moment. She looked at Wang Heng’s appearance, then at the bank card in his hand, and suddenly regretted a little—why did I forget to put on makeup today?
While the clerk was helping him with the procedures, Wang Heng took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and still sent a text message to Lu Qi:
【Sister Lu, do you really have no spare money to invest? I recently learned about an investment opportunity that you might be interested in.】
Since he no longer actively avoided them, following his heart, Wang Heng was of course more willing to help them.
