162 Trust You One More Time
“Investment opportunity…”
Lu Qi, who was reading in her hotel room, received the text message and couldn’t help but lower her head in thought.
If it were anyone else sending such a message, she would probably just laugh it off. But since it was Wang Heng, she had to take it seriously.
【Let’s meet and talk.】
After a while, she saw Wang Heng send an address. Clicking on the map, she saw that the place wasn’t far from the hotel, and she could get there quickly by taxi.
Lu Qi put the book aside, went to the bathroom, and looked at herself in the mirror.
“The question now is,” Lu Qi muttered to herself, “bare face or makeup?”
She was confident in her bare face, but there was no denying that a little makeup would be more eye-catching. But the meeting today was to talk about investment. Would putting on makeup for this seem too deliberate?
Thinking this, Lu Qi simply applied a layer of sunscreen and nude foundation, then drew some eyeliner, and stopped there.
“Alright, forget about lipstick and eyeshadow. This will do.”
Like this, it was probably similar to her usual makeup when going to work at the company, not much different from a bare face, mostly for sun protection and moisturizing. Only the eyeliner was slightly different from usual, making her eyes look softer and more charming.
Putting on a trench coat, Lu Qi strode out.
Hailing a taxi downstairs at the hotel, she soon arrived at the business outlet of the brokerage firm.
Lu Qi walked in and saw Wang Heng sitting at the counter going through the procedures. She didn’t say anything, just stood aside silently watching with her hands in her coat pockets.
“Okay, the bank receipts have been entered for you, and you’ve set up your account password,” the young female clerk smiled enthusiastically. “Do you need to participate in our new user trading course? Not just the stock market, but also futures and other derivatives markets, you can get in touch with…”
Wang Heng shook his head. “No thanks.”
The female clerk was about to say something else when she saw a beautiful and cool mature woman walk over, sit down next to the boy, and smile. “Finished opening the account?”
Wang Heng glanced at her. “Yes, should be.”
“Then let’s find a place to talk now?”
“Alright.”
Wang Heng picked up the account opening materials and stood up.
At this moment, the clerk reminded him, “You can use our file bag here.”
So Wang Heng took a file bag, stuffed the paper materials inside, said “thank you,” and walked out side by side with Lu Qi.
The clerk took out a small mirror from under the desk, looked at her face, and suddenly felt an indescribable melancholy…
**
Wang Heng took Lu Qi to a milk tea shop.
More than half a year ago, he had worked part-time in this shop with Han Yixuan for many days. Although the owner had changed, apart from the change in the shop name on the sign, almost nothing else had changed.
Ordering two cups of milk tea, Wang Heng took a sip of his own and found that the taste seemed no different from what he made. Looking around again, the desolation in the shop was also the same as before.
“Losing money, it’s a cycle…” he couldn’t help but sigh in a low voice.
Lu Qi asked, “What are you saying?”
Wang Heng smiled. “Just after the college entrance exam, I didn’t even have the money to buy a low-end laptop, so I worked part-time here for a while.”
“Here?” Lu Qi’s eyes widened in surprise. “Making milk tea?”
Wang Heng nodded.
Lu Qi: “You’re really multi-talented… Can you cook?”
Wang Heng still nodded. “If it’s just to fill my own stomach, a little bit.”
Lu Qi smiled. “Then cook for me to taste when you have time next time?”
Wang Heng shrugged. “If there’s a chance, of course, no problem.”
Of course, even if he cooked, he would try to bring someone else along, Han Yixuan or Pei Ningle, to avoid a one-sided increase in intimacy.
Lu Qi took a sip of milk tea and said, “Let’s talk about the chance to cook later. Let’s talk about the investment opportunity you mentioned in your text message first.”
Wang Heng: “Mhm, let’s talk business first. Do you know a company called Huatong Technology?”
Lu Qi immediately picked up her phone and checked. Judging from the information provided by Qiandu, this company didn’t seem to have anything to do with the internet…
“Making auto parts?”
“Yes, but they want to acquire a game company and enter the online game industry. You also know that for such a large enterprise with strong cash flow to enter a hot field like games, in the stock market, it’s equivalent to injecting chicken blood into itself.”
Before opening the account, Wang Heng had asked the hamster, so this information was very clear.
But Lu Qi was naturally a little puzzled. “But how do you know?”
Wang Heng pointed to his chest. “I learned some inside information online. Of course, not the kind you can see on Qiandu…”
Lu Qi asked tentatively, “Dark web?”
Wang Heng: “No, just a friend of mine works in the company to be acquired. Although we met online, we have a pretty good relationship, and he revealed this news to me.”
Lu Qi thought for a moment and asked, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be safer to enter the market after the acquisition news is announced?”
Wang Heng immediately shook his head. “Sister Lu, you haven’t traded stocks much, so you don’t know their tricks. Before such major good news is announced, someone is almost certainly manipulating the market, and many of them are major shareholders. Using the limit-up system, they will first pull out a few one-line limit-ups, which can be done with very little trading volume, and unprepared passersby can’t buy at all at this time. After several consecutive days of limit-up, attracting a lot of people’s attention, then suddenly release the good news, making the limit-up of these few days very reasonable.”
Lu Qi said thoughtfully, “And then many people will chase the high?”
Wang Heng snapped his fingers. “Exactly, that’s it. So our chance is only on the first day. If we don’t buy on the first day after this stock resumes trading, it will be very difficult to buy later. For a stock with a one-line limit-up, you probably have to place a high-priced buy order of tens of millions before the market opens to grab a part.”
Lu Qi couldn’t help but ask, “Are you so sure that it will hit the limit up continuously?”
“Yes, I’m that sure. Logically speaking, this is the greatest possibility.”
Lu Qi held the milk tea and pondered for a long time, finally making up her mind. “I can mortgage the house I bought in full to the bank for a loan.”
This time, it was Wang Heng’s turn to be slightly surprised. “Putting all your eggs in one basket like this? I originally just wanted to suggest you use some spare money.”
Lu Qi stared at him and said slowly, “If someone else told me, I definitely wouldn’t believe it. But considering your glorious track record…”
Wang Heng reminded her, “Sister Lu, I’ve only been glorious once so far.”
Lu Qi gritted her teeth. “So I’ll trust you this once. If I lose and lose my house, you’ll have to think carefully about how to compensate me!”
What else could Wang Heng say?
He could only say, “Compensation is impossible, because it’s impossible to lose.”
