Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 449 - 324. Visiting the Female Secretary’s Home_2
Ling Jianshan focused his thoughts for a moment and felt more convinced by the sentence, couldn’t help but praise: "Xiaoyang, you have a deep understanding of the issue, and that statement is spot on."
Yang Fan chuckled and casually replied, "I just heard it somewhere."
Ling Jianshan was moved: "Honestly, I’m in the financial industry myself, and there are too many people in this line who love to fleece others.
"Starting from about half a year ago, the top brass began vigorously rectifying the financial sector, and a significant number of people have been dealt with. Now that I think about it, these people had a common trait, which was being particularly ruthless in fleecing others."
Yang Fan chimed in: "I reckon the authorities will continue to overhaul the financial industry."
Ling Jianshan was in complete agreement: "I sense that too."
Yang Fan brought the topic back: "If I’m not mistaken, this time the Great Xia is likely to favor families with more children when distributing shares on a large scale."
He had just finished speaking.
The host spoke again.
"The higher-ups have also decided to further encourage childbirth, with families having two children receiving an additional 40 shares, three-child families getting 30 more shares than two-child families, and so on with an extra 30 shares for each additional child."
Ling Jianshan clicked his tongue and praised again: "Xiaoyang, you’re quite the prophet!"
The middle-aged man curiously asked: "Did you invest when the Pioneer Alliance publicly offered shares back then?"
Yang Fan nodded: "I got in on the 1000 shares."
Ling Jianshan sighed: "Everyone around me pretty much bought it, but later, when the exploration team lost contact and the stock price plummeted, we sold all our stocks at a loss."
Yang Fan spoke tactfully: "I didn’t lose."
In his heart, he believed that the top authorities were right to rectify the financial industry.
They had no confidence in Great Xia whatsoever; the slightest disturbance, even without official information from the authorities, had them rushing to sell stocks. It’s no wonder they lost money!
Ling Jianshan pursued: "You didn’t sell your stocks at that time?"
Yang Fan remained reserved: "When the stock fell to about 40 Xia Yuan, I doubled down and made a significant profit."
Ling Jianshan continued to probe: "How much did you invest?"
Yang Fan spoke frankly: "I put the 20 million Xia Yuan I had saved over the years, and luckily I hit the bottom."
Ling Jianshan’s eyes widened in shock, almost swearing "damn."
The middle-aged man quickly calculated that buying at the low price of 40 Xia Yuan and with the current stock price rising to 245 Xia Yuan equated to a profit of nearly 90 million Xia Yuan.
Ling Jianshan had struggled and fought for so many years, with a total net worth of only 1 billion Xia Yuan, and he never made a quick fortune of 90 million in one go.
Originally, he viewed Yang Fan with an elder’s perspective, but he couldn’t put on the elder’s demeanor anymore.
This young man was truly remarkable!
Ling Jianshan couldn’t help but ask: "How did you have such courage? What if there was an accident, wouldn’t all your savings have gone down the drain?"
Yang Fan smiled and said: "At that time, I analyzed it for a bit and felt this was likely a setup by Great Xia."
Ling Jianshan dug deeper: "Why do you say that?"
Yang Fan replied: "The Pioneer Alliance’s public stock sale mainly targeted the old developed countries in the Western Hemisphere. Great Xia had no reason to give those white people money, so it had to be a setup."
Ling Jianshan was greatly impressed: "Xiaoyang, you’re very clear-minded."
It was a very simple reason, and many people thought of it upon reflection afterward.
But the issue was that during the crazy stock price drop, where panic dominated the market, maintaining calm for analysis was incredibly rare.
Ling Jianshan had a thought pop into his mind, said: "Xiaoyang, you have a real talent for finance. Would you like to join us..."
Halfway through speaking.
The middle-aged man suddenly remembered that Yang Fan was doing well in Celestial Star Agriculture and already became a shareholder, making the invitation sound like a joke.
Ling Jianshan awkwardly smiled: "Xiaoyang, I was confused, just ignore what I said!"
At this time.
The pleasant voice of the female secretary wafted in: "Dad, why are you confused?"
She walked over carrying a beautiful fruit platter filled with various snacks and fruits.
Ling Jianshan was a bit embarrassed, casually brushing it off: "It’s nothing."
Yang Fan echoed: "Just a minor thing."
Ling Shuiling said "Oh," and placed the fruit platter in front of Yang Fan.
Ling Jianshan glanced at the fruit platter an arm’s length away and experienced what it meant to be "outward bound" for the first time in his life.
Ling Shuiling didn’t notice her father’s subtle expression at all.
She naturally sat next to Yang Fan and asked: "What were you talking about?"
Yang Fan kept it brief: "Stocks."
Ling Shuiling immediately lost interest.
Having had a finance-savvy dad, she had heard such information her entire life and was absolutely tired of it.
Ling Jianshan couldn’t resist saying: "Your boss made 90 million in a day from buying Pioneer Alliance stocks."
Ling Shuiling was taken aback: "Why haven’t I heard about this?"
Yang Fan smiled silently.
Ling Shuiling eagerly inquired: "What actually happened? Could you share the story?"
Ling Jianshan had a more complex feeling.
Your dad talks about stocks, and you look uninterested. Your boss makes money from stocks, and your eyes light up.
Can’t you show your dad the most basic respect?
Unfilial daughter!
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Ling Jianshan glanced at the door, then looked at his daughter: "You go open..."
Ling Shuiling interrupted her father’s words: "Dad, it’s probably the neighbor, Yue Qiushan."
The "Yue Qiushan" mentioned is the actual name of "Mr. Stick-on-the-Furniture" gentleman.
Ling Jianshan frowned: "Then I’ll go!"
The middle-aged man stood up, walked towards the entrance, disappearing from Yang Fan’s view.
Only sounds could be heard.
"Uncle Ling, I..."
"Qiushan, I’m hosting an important guest today; it’s really not convenient."
"Uncle Ling, I came to..."
"Qiushan, it’s too cold outside, you better head back early."
"Click!"
That was the sound of the door closing.
Yang Fan quietly listened to the conversation, feeling Mr. Stick-on-the-Furniture was really pitiful, not even getting a chance to finish a sentence.
He was a bit surprised too.
He had expected Mr. Stick-on-the-Furniture to come and cause a dramatic scene, but he couldn’t even get in the door.
After a moment.
"Bang!"
Using keen hearing, Yang Fan heard a noise from outside.
It sounded like Yue Qiushan kicking something, venting his frustration.
Yang Fan felt exasperated.
At a time like this, he’s still got the mood to engage in petty jealousy?
Such a person should be sent to the engineering corps for a few years, then there would be no more nonsense.
Ling Shuiling sighed regretfully: "Sometimes I really wish I was a bit uglier."
It was clear she was truly tired of being pestered.
"Bang!"
The sound outside rang out again.
Yang Fan vaguely sensed something was amiss, but couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
Ling Jianshan came back and said: "It’s settled, already sent him away, let’s watch TV."
At this point, the television screen had a change.
The scene from earlier at the Tianful Sea Stock Exchange was replaced by a hospital.
The host’s voice emerged again: "Dear viewers, I am exceptionally honored to announce a major scientific breakthrough, which is also the second gift for all Great Xia People."
The three of them focused their gaze on the television.
The host excitedly stated: "The Great Xia Superpower Research Institute, in collaboration with three major top hospitals, collectively tackled and successfully resolved the ’Artificial Eyeball Cultivation,’ and ’Eyeball Transplantation’ challenges. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"This advanced medical technology can restore sight to the vast blind community!"
The host paused for a moment and continued: "A few months ago, Great Xia found a treatment for cerebral palsy children, and to date, has successfully cured over 400,000 patients.
"Now, Great Xia has found a way to completely resolve eye diseases. Currently, there are 25 million people with visual impairments in Great Xia, and this technology will undoubtedly benefit more people.
"Borrowing a statement repeated on the internet: This world is full of holes, and we Great Xia People are always striving to patch them up."
Ling Shuiling couldn’t help but exclaim: "Well said!"
