Chapter 32 The Joy of Being a Father Is Beyond Your Imagination
Zeng Cheng didn't have the ability to see into the heavens, so of course he didn't know that a certain noblewoman was already checking his household registration.
On the other hand, even if you know, you have to suppress your frustration and let it be.
With his current small frame, he couldn't withstand even a small act of capriciousness from someone at the top of power.
So our ancestors summed it up well—you have to be strong yourself to forge iron!
In order to get himself hard as soon as possible so that he wouldn't be too weak in front of a certain wealthy lady, Zeng Cheng was very busy for the next month.
Busy with what? — Busy making money.
What to do? — The main source of income is definitely stock trading.
After the sharp drop triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2008, the stock market in Dongda University finally began to recover in July 2009 and was about to usher in a bull market.
To start investing in stocks, you first need initial capital.
The book has its own golden house.
In Dezhou, every year several leading enterprises in the city give a bonus to students who are admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, and Zeng Cheng is definitely eligible to receive it.
On June 22nd, Tao Xingzhi called Zeng Cheng and told him to come and collect the money, as there was a special commendation meeting in the city.
Zeng Cheng tidied himself up carefully, even combing his hair to look like an adult, and then looked at himself in the mirror.
Suddenly I felt that this world was not scientific—I was clearly looking in a mirror, so why did I see Daniel Wu in it?
It's worth mentioning that when receiving the money, Zeng Cheng took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lu Yunchen, the runner-up in the national college entrance examination.
Mr. Zeng simply felt that knowing a brilliant academic genius was not a bad thing.
Lu, whom he once praised as the "Phoenix Chick" of No. 1 Middle School, is still quite impressive.
She is not as good as Yu Baiwei, but only slightly better than Yu Baiwei.
He also ranked among the top 20 in the province in this year's college entrance examination.
He's definitely a talented person.
You are fully qualified to be Cheng Ge's slave.
But he was met with indifference from the second overall pick.
This left Zeng Cheng speechless—Lu classmate, are you so arrogant? Aren't you afraid that your brother Cheng will become an emperor in the future and cut you down across the river of time?
Zeng Cheng couldn't understand why Lu was so cold to him, even hostile, but he was too lazy to think about it.
Mediocre people only cause themselves trouble.
A wise man like him simply applies formulas—Lu Yunchen is definitely jealous that your brother Cheng is better looking than him.
This shows just how much Zeng Cheng enjoys [the company/organization].
He was only somewhat handsome, while Lu Yunchen was a campus heartthrob.
He's tall and slender, wearing a pale white shirt, with a cool and handsome face and a slightly melancholic air; he could easily be cast as the male lead in a campus romance drama.
I didn't see Yu Baiwei, the provincial champion, when I went to collect the money.
Zeng Cheng could roughly guess the reason—given their family's financial situation, was it really worth it for them to make a special trip just for a mere 100,000 yuan?
After their son received the huge sum of 100,000 yuan, Zeng Liqing and Sun Feng considered asking him to hand it over so that they could keep it for him.
Zeng Cheng certainly didn't agree, but he didn't hide anything either, truthfully explaining the reason that he planned to use the money to speculate on stocks.
"Stock trading, huh?" Zeng Liqing pondered, tapping the table. "Zeng Cheng, the stock market's been really hot lately. Lots of my colleagues are trading, and quite a few have made money. But you're such a greenhorn, investing 100,000 right away? Isn't that too much?"
Sun Feng expressed similar concerns and suggested that he only take out 10,000 yuan to invest in stocks, and save the remaining 90,000 yuan for her.
Seeing his worried mother, Zeng Cheng decided to put on a small show.
"Mom, stocks are basically about data analysis. I've never traded stocks before, but I'm good at math! I was the only person in the entire province to get a perfect score in math on this year's college entrance exam, you know? Don't worry, this is a guaranteed profit!"
Zeng Cheng's logic is definitely flawed; stock trading is not something you can master simply by being good at math.
Even Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most brilliant minds in human history, who famously said, "If Heaven had not created such a person, the world would have remained in darkness forever," still lost money in the stock market.
Lord Bull probably only failed in two things in his life—stock trading and womanizing.
What does this mean?
This shows that even the smartest mind can't handle the stock market and women.
Zeng Liqing and Sun Feng knew that Hao Da'er was talking nonsense, but after weighing the options, they still agreed.
It's normal for a son to have his own ideas as he grows up.
Even if we lose all 100,000, it's no big deal. We can just consider it a way to improve this kid's financial literacy.
It is evident that the Zeng family has a very open-minded family tradition.
Of course, Zeng Cheng's outstanding college entrance examination scores must have played a significant role in convincing his parents.
So, family status is something you have to earn yourself!
I agree, but I still need to give them a talking-to.
Zeng Liqing said very seriously, "Zeng Cheng, let's get this straight: if you lose money in the stock market this time, you can't touch it again. Our family is just a small one; we can't afford your reckless actions!"
"learn!"
Zeng Cheng snapped his fingers.
After settling things off with his parents, Zeng Cheng quickly threw himself into the world of stock trading. After opening an account with a securities company, he spent all his time hanging out in internet cafes with Li Xingzhi.
Like most naive and innocent college-bound students, Brother Zhiliao would go crazy playing games as soon as he entered an internet cafe—he mainly played the newly popular game "Dungeon & Fighter" during this period.
To be honest, this game is poorly optimized, plagued by disconnections and rampant cheating, leading netizens to jokingly call it "Cheat City and Disconnection Warriors".
Despite its many flaws, it remains the symbol of youth for countless people.
However, it wasn't Zeng Cheng's youth; his youth was filled with "Legend of Mir" and "World of Warcraft".
While Li Xingzhi was playing games, Zeng Cheng was basically staring at the candlestick charts, writing and drawing in his notebook as he looked at them, doing data analysis, and then buying and selling after completing the analysis.
Zeng Cheng was fiddling with something, and Li Xingzhi said he didn't understand it at all while watching football, but that didn't stop him from supporting him with his actions, even taking out his savings—more than five thousand!
Zeng Cheng was deeply moved by his childhood friend's support and patted his chest, saying, "Alright, I understand. As my first angel investor, you can just wait to count your money."
Li Xingzhi was still worried: "Brother Cheng, do you really understand stocks? Don't lose your whole fortune!"
Zeng Cheng didn't offer much explanation, but simply gave a confident smile, even one that carried a hint of wicked arrogance.
Otherwise, I can't exactly tell this kid the truth: I have a rebirth cheat, and you can't imagine the joy I'll feel as a father, right?
Zeng Cheng still has a fairly clear memory of the bull market in July 2009, during which several stocks saw terrifying price increases.
For example, the price increases of [Gaochun Ceramics] and [Galaxy Power] are terrifying, more than tripling in just one month.
Other notable stocks include Tianye Shares, Haiwang Bio-pharmacy, and Wuhu Port, all of which are considered speculative stocks.
Zeng Cheng couldn't recall the specific details.
However, by focusing on manipulating these few high-flying stocks and diversifying the risk as much as possible, it's impossible to lose money by relying on the overall market trend.
However, even a reborn person must be extremely cautious when faced with a freak like the A-shares market, which always fluctuates in strange ways.
Zeng Cheng was not greedy; he only intended to make three to five million from the stock market.
Three million is the lower limit, and five million is the upper limit.
This is a number that Zeng Cheng arrived at after careful calculation.
It should be enough as start-up capital for him after he officially starts his business.
As for what Zeng Cheng plans to do in his life—provided he doesn't engage in speculation or profiteering, the only track he can choose is the mobile internet.
Next year will be the first year of smartphones and the beginning of the 3G era. This industry is definitely booming, and the whole world is a blue ocean.
