Chapter 222 Buying Stocks
"Where did those hundred or thousand dollars go? They just made a little profit here and a little profit there, and after some hype, they sold it for 200."
With spittle flying, the bulging-eyed dragon spoke eloquently: "Who has ever seen real stocks, yet everyone is scrambling to buy them? Don't worry about anything else, the most important thing is to make money."
The three-legged leopard nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
These days, whoever has money can act all high and mighty.
As the saying goes, when you're poor, your voice carries little weight. No matter how loud you are, no one will even glance at you when you're broke. But when you're rich, even a fart from you is taken as gospel and revered as gospel.
When Li Jian saw Lao Ma say that he didn't care about money and that having money was painful, his expression was the same as Xiao Sa's.
Rich people will always have people listening to them.
This guy with protruding eyes is very realistic; he speaks the truth about Jiao Gan. Only someone like him can make it in the bottom of society.
The office manager said, "Brother Long, it's gone up by 150 points, so we're currently up 70 points."
The three-legged leopard opened its mouth wide and asked, "What seventy?"
The bulging-eyed dragon laughed and said, "It's seven hundred thousand."
"Earned 700,000 in a minute? Isn't that faster than robbing money?" Three-Legged Leopard's heart burned with excitement, and his eyes became eager.
The bulging-eyed dragon pointed at the three-legged leopard's chest and said, "Stocks are just about robbing people. We take money from the pockets of retail investors and put it into our own pockets."
The man with bulging eyes turned to the office director and said, "Jackson, open a 200,000-unit warehouse for Brother Leopard, it's on me."
Three-Legged Leopard waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Brother Long, this is unacceptable!"
"I'm doing business in mainland China, and now I want to do it in Hong Kong too," said the man with protruding eyes. "I don't trust anyone else to do this kind of business. Come and help me, and we brothers can get rich together."
Three-Legged Leopard nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll do it. I'm very good at betting on football and horses, no problem."
Bulky-eyed Dragon patted Three-Legged Leopard on the shoulder and said, "That's fine then. I'm going to the north to meet a client now. You stay here and help me keep an eye on things. You can come along and watch, or you can learn. If you don't understand anything, just ask Jackson."
The office director, with his bulging eyes, said, "Ah Bao is my good brother, you should teach him more."
The office director laughed and said, "No problem, leave it to Brother Long."
The bulging-eyed dragon was in a hurry to leave. He said to the three-legged leopard, "That's it. We can talk about it over dinner tomorrow."
Three-Legged Leopard raised his arm: "Okay, no problem!"
After the bulging-eyed dragon left, the office director brought over an account book and tossed it to Three-Legged Leopard, saying, "Brother Leopard, this is the Hang Seng Index for the past six months. Take your time to look at it."
Three-Legged Leopard laughed heartily: "I'm an expert at this. It's like playing baccarat: hollow means player, solid means banker!"
The office director looked embarrassed and said, "Okay, you can study it first."
Li Jian took out his phone and made a call.
A short while later, Helen knocked on the door, came in, and asked, "Who ordered takeout?"
Li Jian raised his hand and said, "I ordered it, so please have some coffee!"
Helen and the others thanked them, saying, "We haven't had a chance to ask you yet?"
"You can call me A-Jian."
People call him "Brother Jian" all the time, but Li Jian seems to really enjoy this approachable feeling.
We come from the masses and go back to the masses!
When Li Jian arrived at the company entrance, he saw a man wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and khaki overalls who looked like Stephen Chow standing at the front desk with a takeout box slung over his shoulder, talking shyly to the receptionist, a young woman with a red scarf.
Helen carried Li Jian over and said to the deliveryman, "Look, this is the takeout he ordered."
The deliveryman took out a pen and paper from his shirt pocket and said, "Sir, please sign here. There are twelve cups of coffee in total."
Li Jian casually signed his name and asked with interest, "What is your surname?"
"My surname is He, He Jinyin. You can call me A Yin."
The delivery guy smiled and pulled a business card from his pocket, handing it to Li Jian: "Sir, I handle all kinds of food delivery and errand services. Just let me know if you need anything!"
Li Jian chuckled inwardly.
Sure enough, I encountered another classic character from a Hong Kong film.
Now that He Jinyin has appeared, we don't know where the eldest brother will appear.
Li Jian really wanted to have a friendly match with his senior brother.
Let's see whether the master's Xingyi Quan or the senior brother's karate is more powerful.
After signing, Li Jian gave He Jinyin an extra HK$100 as a tip.
He Jinyin was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
The receptionist and Helen were both pleasantly surprised; they hadn't expected Li Jian, this handsome young man, to be so generous.
"Hey handsome, my dog can do front flips, want to come and take a look?"
The receptionist, whose name was associated with the red omen, proactively extended an olive branch.
Li Jian said, "I'm sorry, I refuse to watch animal performances. No buying, no killing."
Another young woman said, "What's so interesting about dogs, buddy? I can touch my elbow with my tongue and I guarantee it will give you a good time."
"Ahem, no need, I still prefer to take the right path."
After politely declining the advances of the two attentive young women, Li Jian returned to his office.
The office manager and several bespectacled men were not good at talking. They simply nodded to Li Jian after taking their coffee and then got back to work.
Li Jian didn't take it to heart and sat next to the three-legged leopard, watching him use blue and red pens to record something in essence.
"Fall, rise, fall, fall, fall, rise!"
The table on the three-legged leopard's desk was piled high with scraps of paper, densely covered with records of red and blue falling and rising.
Li Jian silently handed him a cup of coffee, but Sanjiaobao was too busy to even take it.
Besides being a true brother and friend, Sanjiaobao is also incredibly lucky.
The plot of the Hong Kong film he was involved in is quite simple.
There are three unrelated parallel lines.
One is a female banker, one is a police officer, and the other is a three-legged leopard.
Three-Legged Leopard is a loyal friend to his brothers, always ready to help them raise guarantee fees, collect money, and pay off debts. That's why his brothers are all happy to have him around.
Tuoyanlong runs a studio, using the company's guise to engage in underground gambling, helping people buy stocks, and acting as a stock trader.
Little did he know that a huge crisis was about to befall him.
Li Jian was waiting for the results of the three-legged leopard's calculations.
Li Jian currently has over ten million yuan in hand. Although Jimmy can earn him several million yuan a month, he still needs a legal source of income.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Hong Kong Island is not just sitting around doing nothing.
Once they set their sights on you, you'll be lucky to escape with your life.
I finished my coffee.
Li Jian ordered takeout again, including McDonald's set meals and KFC family buckets.
After a series of shrewd maneuvers, several employees of the Tuoyanlong Company became familiar with Li Jian.
Regardless of his age, everyone calls him Brother Jian.
It's getting dark.
The employees of the bulging-eye company gradually left work. Those in the office said goodbye to Li Jian and then left as well.
Dengdengdengdeng——
A series of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor.
The office door opened, and Bulky-Eyed Dragon rushed in. He didn't greet Three-Legged Leopard and Li Jian much, and immediately turned on a computer.
