Chapter 34
Stock Market
However, before Luo Chen could speak, an executive said disdainfully.
“He Ming, are you crazy? Bitcoin is a virtual asset. Nowadays, it’s all young people mining it themselves. To put it bluntly, it’s just a digital toy. Why should we invest so much money in it?”
The others had the same thought. They did not believe that Bitcoin was worth much.
Even if it was valuable, it would not be worth the investment value.
“Hehe, if you want to earn money with Bitcoin, you might as well go to the antique center on South Street and gamble on the goods.”
“That makes sense. We might really be able to get an authentic item if we spend 10 million. Hahahaha.”
These executives mocked him one after another.
He Ming’s eyes darkened and he did not speak.
“Ahem.” Luo Chen cleared his throat and said, “I think He Ming’s suggestion is very good. Moreover, according to him, Bitcoin is very likely to soar in the future!”
“Huh?”
Everyone present was stunned. They did not expect Luo Chen to agree with He Ming.
Zhao Ruoshuang raised her eyebrows and did not say anything.
After what happened last time, she thought that Luo Chen would not be messing around.
Luo Chen continued, “Other than the funds to maintain the company’s operations, the rest will be invested in obtaining Bitcoin and He Ming shall be in charge of this project!”
Hearing this, He Ming hurriedly stood up. “Thank you, President Luo! I definitely won’t disappoint you!”
The other executives looked at each other, but they could not object.
“Utilizing cloud computing to mine consumes a lot of energy. Even with the company’s money and my capital, we can’t mine much Bitcoin at all. Do you have any other suggestions on earning more money?”
With regards to Bitcoin, Luo Chen naturally wanted to buy as much as he could.
However, he did not intend to use his family’s connections for this matter directly. The Luo Family was too big a target. As long as the Luo Family took action, other factions would definitely follow suit and buy it crazily.
Therefore, he could only rely on himself to earn money to mine or directly trade Bitcoin.
When many executives heard this, they wondered if there were any more suitable projects.
Only Ye Bei had his head lowered as he fiddled with his phone.
He was reporting everything that had happened at the dining table to Lin Tian.
When Lin Tian heard that Luo Chen was in a hurry to gather funds, he suddenly had an idea to trick the other party.
Previously, his friend overseas had told him that there was going to be a problem with the American stock market, so he could take the opportunity to make a fortune amidst the crisis.
With this news, he could use the window before the stock market crisis to scam Luo Chen!
With this in mind, Lin Tian hurriedly told Ye Bei about the stock market, and at the same time, he also told him to make sure that Luo Chen would fall for it.
After Ye Bei replied with an “Ok”, he put his phone away.
Then, he stood up and looked at Luo Chen. “President Luo, why don’t we invest directly in the US stock market?”
Hearing Ye Bei’s words, the entire private room instantly fell silent.
An executive said unhappily, “What does a bodyguard like you know? Not only do we need a lot of money to invest in the stock market, but if there’s even the slightest fluctuation, our money might disappear.”
The other executives also sneered.
“Even bodyguards are starting to invest these days. We’re probably going to be laid off soon.”
“Ye Bei, we know that you’re being thoughtful, but you don’t understand investment at all.”
“That’s right. In my opinion, you might as well go to a bar to sing. According to your performance yesterday, you might be able to make President Luo a huge sum of money! Hahaha!”
“Actually, it’s not bad to be a comedian too. Hahaha, you can debut as the Wild King!”
Speaking of what happened last night, the atmosphere in the private room instantly became cheerful.
Even Zhao Ruoshuang could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.
When Ye Bei recalled what had happened last night, a nameless fire burned in his heart!
It was all because of this bastard, Luo Chen, that he could not raise his head for the rest of his life!
In the future, as long as someone mentioned this incident, he would have nowhere to put his face!
At this thought, Ye Bei’s hatred for Luo Chen reached a peak.
He suppressed his anger and said, “But President Luo is rich now. Coupled with the tens of millions left after investing in the company, there’s about 100 million left!
You don’t dare to invest because you’re too timid, but do you know that according to the data displayed on the Nasdaq Index, the price of American stocks is rising continuously. The entire stock market is in a soaring state!
Moreover, the news also mentioned that the rice industry is about to rise. If you don’t plan to invest now, you won’t have the chance to buy it even if you want to!”
When the high-level executives heard Ye Bei’s explanation, they had some doubts in their hearts.
A few executives turned on their phones on the spot to search for information and realized that it was really as Ye Bei had said.
Previously, they had little funds and their targets were only mainly local companies, so they basically did not know much about things overseas.
At this moment, Zhao Ruoshuang was a little tempted. If what Ye Bei said was true, this was really an opportunity.
If they invested, they might receive a return of nearly a billion in the future.
At that time, even if they invested in Bitcoin, it would not hinder their other investments.
“Luo Chen, what do you think?” Zhao Ruoshuang turned to look at Luo Chen.
The others’ gazes also focused on Luo Chen.
After all, this matter involved too much money. Only Luo Chen could make the decision.
...
Luo Chen only took a sip of wine and did not show any excitement.
Because as a transmigrator, he knew the direction of the world in the book too well.
The US stock market looked very popular now, but it was only a last-ditch effort.
In half a year, the US stock market would experience an economic crisis that would shock the entire world.
The severity of the crisis even caused the tragedy of a global stock market crash.
At that time, other than a few top corporations, no one else was spared. All of them became penniless overnight, and some people even became heavily in debt.
If he invested the money, there was only one outcome. He would lose everything!
It seemed that Ye Bei was really thinking of ways to deal with him at all times. Even when he was eating, he could dig a hole for him to jump into!
“Although the stock market is not bad, the return cycle after investment is too long. What I need is a quick return. After all, the number of Bitcoins is decreasing every day.”
Luo Chen tactfully rejected Ye Bei.
This was because he was worried that if he acted too obviously, Ye Bei would become suspicious.
...
When he heard this, Ye Bei could only sigh helplessly, unable to continue speaking.
The others did not persuade him because they were still worried that there would be problems with the funds.
Luo Chen continued, “However, Old Zhao was right previously. Going to the antique center is a good choice.”
Hearing Luo Chen’s words, everyone in the private room was stunned.
Especially that executive called Old Zhao. He was just joking previously.
“President Luo, how are we going to invest in this antique center? They don’t seem to have any stocks, right?”
“It’s not safe to buy antiques. After all, we are not experts in that industry. It’ll be very difficult to profit from it.”
Luo Chen smiled and said, “Who said I’m going for antiques?”
