Chapter 071 The Short-Term Investment of Around Ten Times The Profit
Ye Chen was sure.
Zhang Jingshan was being serious,
dead serious!
It was hard to imagine that
a playboy with such a status still wished for real love. That was just sweet.
But however sweet he was,
there was nothing he could do to help!
Predicting his marriage?
How could he ever be able to do that!
He could spit it out for him if he had known when Zhang Jingshan got married in his previous life.
But as far as he had known in his previous life, Zhang Jingshan had already been accused of rape by a female anchor Yiyi and had been kept in the detention center.
It took him a few years to get rehabilitated.
The old secretary was furious. Zhang Xingguo was still in prison, and even Zhang Jingshan, who was released from prison, had been unheard ever since.
So how would he know when Zhang Jingshan could get married?
He wanted to divert his attention by bluffing it out,
but seeing Zhang Jingshan's serious expression, waiting eagerly for his answer,
he decided otherwise.
Feeling embarrassed, Ye Chen started to explain to him why he couldn't do it.
"Three things we can't tell. Life or death, rise or fall, and marriage!"
"There are rules?" Zhang Jingshan felt disappointed at his refusal suddenly.
"The master ordered that I had to obey the rules!" Ye Chen said.
"Wait a second, didn't you do the rise and fall of the Sihai Group?" Zhang Jingshan asked sharply.
"Is that the result of my telling fortune? It's my analysis." Ye Chen made a witty retort.
Zhang Jingshan smacked his mouth and finally smiled bitterly.
Seeing his reaction,
Ye Chen consoled him. "In fact, there is no telling fortune about marriage. You will never miss it if you're destined to be with the right one. She'll show up. And when that day comes, you will try everything you can to make her happy for the rest of your life. You two will be bound up inextricably. Fate is inexplicable. So, there is no need to know it in advance. Isn't it better to let it flow than to try too hard at it? If I were to say that you can only get properly married when you are in your forties, wouldn't you keep worried about it in the days to come? Is that torture what you want?"
"Brother Ye, you are so different from other fortune tellers. My grandpa introduced me to a so-called psychic for me several years ago. He promised that I will get married this year. Now I come to think about it, how absurd is that!"
While smiling bitterly, Zhang Jingshan shook his head.
To his surprise, Ye Chen nodded in agreement.
That guy was indeed a phony!
This year in his previous life, Zhang Jingshan was framed for rape and imprisoned.
How the hell would there be a marriage for him?
However, he seemed to have forgotten that
the change of his fate was making the butterfly floating in the Pacific Ocean flap its wings.
"Brother Ye, don't worry about him. A shit leopard can't change its spots. Except those who wants money or status from him, no nice women would choose to end up with him." Li Changfeng joked.
"What are you talking about? I'm in my prime. My sexual needs are defensible. Besides, not anyone could be like you, not caring whether their basic and earthly needs are met or not. You know, to lead a life the way a monk does." Zhang Jingshan explained, depressed.
Li Changfeng shook his head and smiled.
He stopped joking with him
and produced a card from his pocket.
A black one with redbuds carved on it.
"Brother Ye, this is the Black Bauhinia card, an anonymous one. You take it. With this card, you don't need to go through the whole reservation thing!" Li Changfeng introduced the card.
"Brother Ye, that's good stuff. The Black Bauhinia Card is the most advanced card. It's so wonderful that even if you don't want to pay the bill, you can just flash it at the staff, and then off you go without paying! No one seemed to have done it though."
Having said that, Zhang Jingshan started to check Li Changfeng again. "Now you are being so open-handed. I have been begging you for it to make me look good for so long. But you never borrowed it to me! And you offer it to Brother Ye as a gift now?"
"Piss off!" Li Changfeng laughed.
Ye Chen had heard of the Black Bauhinia Card in his previous life.
But what surprised him was that Li Changfeng actually had one.
But he swallowed his doubts
and shook his head. "Forget it, you keep it. I don't need it!"
"Brother Ye, just take it. It will come in handy someday. I am a regular customer here, and I have been familiar with the person in charge here. So, reserving a table here is just a matter of a phone call for me. You should take it!"
It seems that he is afraid that Ye Chen will refuse again.
Li Changfeng handed the card to Youyou. "Come, Youyou, take it!"
"What is this? Youyou, who had been burying her head in food and ignoring the adults' conversation, raised her head and asked.
"Does Youyou like it here?" Li Changfeng asked with a smile.
"I do. Very much! It's even more beautiful than the one where I had dinner with mommy and daddy last time!" The little girl blurted out innocently.
"Then with this card, Youyou can come anytime you want in the future!" Li Changfeng lured her.
"Ah, that's great! Thank you uncle!"
After all, she was just a kid whose concerns wouldn't match those of adults. So, excited about the power of the card, she took it immediately happily without asking for approval like she did when ordering.
Seeing his daughter's glee,
Ye Chen had no choice but to smile and accept it.
"Brother Ye, what are your plans next? What are we going to do next?"
After seeing Ye Chen no longer resist the Black Bauhinia Card, Li Changfeng immediately changed the topic.
"Next plan? I've been thinking. Let's make some short-term investments with returns around tenfold!" Ye Chen smiled intriguingly.
He meant the opportunity for fortunes from House acquisition in Jinzhong Village,
which he wanted them in for, too.
After all, all they got from operating in the stocks of Sihai Group was at most around 40 million yuan.
However, there were more than 60 houses in Jinzhong Village.
One million for each, he could only take around 40 of them.
It's better to give the rest to Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng. Of course, only if they trust him.
However,
after hearing the short-term investment with possible benefits of around 10 times.
Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were shocked to the core.
What kind of short-term investment could do that?
Even opportunity in the Jinlin Mansion that few had sensed resulted in returns of five times of their investment!
"Brother Ye, you mean there are actually short-term investments with that much profits? Tell us more."
Zhang Jingshan became restless out of excitement.
"Don't worry, you'll see when the day comes. The thing is, that's more than I can digest, so let's share!" Ye Chen chose not to spoil the surprise for them.
"Brother Ye, what is this about?" Li Changfeng asked.
"Temporarily confidential!" Ye Chen smiled.
"Then when do we start?" Zhang Jingshan hurriedly said.
"Wait till the Sihai Group's stock falls below the ten-yuan mark and then we could withdraw from it first. Um... in just a few days!"
Ye Chen, who kept reluctant to disclose, advised.
He kept them in the dark not because the fear of them taking his share of this big cake by tipping him off to others,
if they decided to betray him for such a small amount of money, that would be their loss.
He trusted the wrong guys. That was all.
From his point of view, that was almost impossible though.
After all, aside from the fact that Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were both benevolent and righteous, they were also smart. They wouldn't be penny wise and pound foolish.
He didn't spit it out simply because there was no need for that yet. And he was maintaining his image as a mysterious man.
The night gradually fell.
After this pleasant dinner,
Ye Chen and Youyou returned to the rental house by the Panamera.
Next,
all he should do was to wait for the stock of Sihai Group to fall below the ten-yuan mark!
And then, it would be time to say goodbye to this rental house that had been home to them for years, and witnessed their bitter and unbearable past...
