Chapter 335: Chapter 311: Advanced Stock Clue Card! Lightning Strikes Twice?
’DING!’
’Congratulations, Host! You have successfully organized a gourmet gathering, perfectly managed the participants’ emotions, and strengthened your bonds of friendship. You have been awarded a bonus "Friendship Package." Please claim your reward!’
’DING!’
’Calculating the expense for this gourmet gathering... Total expense: 110,000. As the spending cap is 100,000, the calculation will be based on 100,000... The current cash-back multiplier is nine times. Final cash-back amount: 900,000 Huaxia Coins!’
’DING!’
’Host reminder: This cash back will be deposited into the Host’s personal investment account at Celestial Dragon Investment Company as financial investment returns. The source of the funds is clear and traceable. The Host may use it with confidence...’
...
Nine hundred thousand!
Ye Ling was quite satisfied with this result and didn’t dwell on why he hadn’t gotten a ten-times multiplier.
One hundred thousand might be a considerable fortune for an ordinary person, but to Ye Ling, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Even the nine hundred thousand he received from the cash back was just small change to him.
The reason he was happy was the process, not the outcome!
Enjoying good food, strengthening friendships, and getting to fleece the system on top of it all—who wouldn’t love that?
Brother Ling felt that if someone didn’t enjoy this kind of thing, they might as well just go to bed and forget about it.
After all, anyone who had reached that level would probably have no desires left.
He’d suggest they just renounce worldly pleasures and join a monastery!
After the gathering ended, Ye Ling arranged for cars to take He Jian and the others home. They were just students, after all, and most of them didn’t have cars.
Once everything was taken care of, Ye Ling finally got into his Cullinan.
"Stinky, how many couples do you think will get together after tonight?" Ning Ruoxi asked from the passenger seat, the flames of gossip burning brightly in her eyes.
"Not a single one."
Ye Ling pursed his lips.
"Huh?"
Ning Ruoxi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "There’s no way..."
"You think I don’t know my own useless dorm mates? I was watching them the whole time. They just sat next to each other and didn’t say a damn thing. Get together? My ass."
Ye Ling didn’t hesitate to roast his dear dorm mates.
’Time to take out my little notebook and highlight the key points for everyone.’
’What’s the most important thing when chasing a girl?’
’Being shameless!’
’Never mind anything else. Just look at those campus confession walls. They’re always trying to find someone online they just saw in person. The person is standing right in front of them, and they don’t even try to get their contact info. What’s wrong with them?’
’If you don’t even have the guts to say, "Hey, can I add you on WeChat?" how can you expect that person to have any courage at all?’
"Alright."
Ning Ruoxi stuck her tongue out playfully. Then, a thought struck her and she mumbled, "I don’t think you ever asked for my WeChat, either."
"But you asked for mine, didn’t you?"
Ye Ling gave the girl a half-smile and said, "As long as one of the two people dares to take the initiative, a story can begin."
"Hmph!"
Ning Ruoxi huffed coquettishly and rolled her eyes at Ye Ling. "You jerk."
???
Question marks filled Ye Ling’s head.
’Hello?’
’Can someone please explain a girl’s thought process to me? How did I become a jerk?’
Brother Ling would like to state for the record that he is a good man!
...
After returning from Kongchan Kaiseki Restaurant, Ye Ling immediately entered the system to check the "Friendship Package" he had just received.
’System, open the Friendship Package!’
Ye Ling recited silently in his mind.
’DING!’
’Congratulations, Host! You have successfully opened the Friendship Package and obtained one Advanced Stock Clue Card. It can be used on any stock. Upon use, you can view a real-time graph of the corresponding stock’s price curve for the next seven days!’
Ye Ling’s eyes instantly lit up.
’This meal was so worth it!’
’Even if I got nothing else, this Advanced Stock Clue Card alone makes it a great deal!’
Where did most of Ye Ling’s current wealth come from?
Some of it came directly from the system, like the luxury mansion at Tomson Riviera, shares in companies like Shengding Group, and so on...
However, these were all physical assets, not cash flow!
Most of the funds he had on hand were earned from the stock market using tips from the system, such as these stock clue cards.
Ye Ling felt more at ease with money obtained this way.
Because it wasn’t created out of thin air!
"An Advanced Stock Clue Card... Let me think, how should I use it?" Ye Ling mused, resting his chin on his hand as he considered his target.
The first things that came to mind were those major Western tech companies.
Lately, these Western capital powers had been making a lot of moves!
The reason Ye Ling hadn’t made a move yet—like snatching food from the tiger’s mouth as he did with Fruit Group last time—was mainly because he was still waiting for the right opportunity.
Now, he felt this Advanced Stock Clue Card was a good opportunity. However, he wasn’t in a rush to use it. He needed to find the perfect moment!
Whether it was Fruit Group, Guge Group, or other major Western capital powers, their fundamentals were all relatively stable.
If he just used the Advanced Stock Clue Card directly, it would be difficult to make a huge profit.
Something like this had to be used strategically to produce extraordinary results.
In truth, Brother Ling’s success up to this point wasn’t just due to the system; it was also due to his own efforts.
If an ordinary person obtained this kind of stock information, what could they do with it?
They might pick a stock, follow the tip, throw some money at it, and earn a bit of pocket money...
But to amass a fortune of billions like Ye Ling, relying on stock information from the system? That was truly difficult!
Take the last time Ye Ling targeted Fruit Group, for example. Even Brother Ling almost crashed and burned.
If he hadn’t had so much leverage over Fruit Group, he would have been absolutely destroyed by those Western capital powers.
Those people on Wall Street would truly stop at nothing for profit.
Trying to snatch a piece of meat from their mouths?
That’s what you call snatching food from a tiger’s jaws!
If you don’t have the strength and courage, it’s best to just go home and sleep.
You can have anything you want in your dreams!
Ye Ling had originally planned to go after Fruit Group again, but after taking a look at their recent stock performance, he immediately abandoned the idea.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give Fruit Group a second round of trouble; it was mainly that Fruit Group was just...
Too dead in the water.
Ever since Ye Ling’s last attack, Fruit Group’s stock had basically never gone above 120 dollars, and there were even streaks of several days where it was in the red!
The former king of the stock market had actually fallen to such a state?
Even Mr. Qiao himself probably couldn’t have imagined this when he was alive!
There was nothing to be done. The blow to Fruit Group last time had just been too severe. Consumers all over the world had built up a massive amount of anger and dissatisfaction toward the company.
What followed was a wave of cancellations for their new phone pre-orders.
Under such a major trend, Fruit Group’s stock was naturally in a slump!
At the end of the day, a stock’s performance is still tied to the market!
