Chapter 919 The fish is hooked
"Mr. Wu, you underestimate Xiao Qin. He is definitely not as rich as you, but a few million is nothing to him." Su Jianren walked up and patted Wu Xiaofei on the shoulder, saying proudly.
In an instant, not only Wu Xiaofei, but even Zhao Hui and Wu Xianlong looked at the two with surprised eyes.
Su Jianren was also drinking happily. He held his glass and swayed as he told the story of Qin Hao's stock trading.
When they learned that Qin Hao had earned five or six times the profit for Su Jianren through stock trading in a year, the eyes of Wu Xianlong and his son were filled with images of US dollars.
"Su Xing, are you kidding?" Wu Xiaofei swallowed and asked tentatively.
Su Jianren drank the wine in the glass directly, and said with a red face: "Do I look like I'm joking? If you don't believe me, I'll show you the stock transaction records."
As he spoke, Su Jianren opened his U.S. stock account.
Wu Xianlong and his son watched very carefully and did not miss any transaction.
After a long while, Wu Xianlong returned the phone to Su Jianren and said with emotion: "Sure enough, the financial industry still makes money. We work hard to build one building after another, but the gross profit is less than 30% throughout the year."
"That's right. If we had known this, we would have directly given the company's funds to Lao Qin to trade stocks. The profit for one year would be enough to support us for several years." Wu Xiaofei agreed with this.
Qin Hao said seriously, "Su Xing and I made money last year because, on the one hand, we were lucky and caught up with the overall rise of the U.S. stock market. On the other hand, our capital was small and it was not easy to be noticed by the bankers. If we really invested hundreds of millions of dollars, we might be smothered by international capital."
Hearing this, Zhao Hui couldn't help but think of his teacher Dai Xing, so he said to Wu Xianlong: "Brother, Xiao Qin is right. In recent years, many of our large companies have been sniped in the international capital market and suffered heavy losses. I think it's better not to take this risk."
"Don't worry, Xiaohui. I'm just expressing my feelings for a moment. I'm a layman in finance. If I really put so much money in the stock market, my heart wouldn't be able to bear it." Wu Xianlong said with certainty.
Wu Xiaofei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wu Xianlong's eyes. He could only drink a glass of wine by himself.
Qin Hao clinked glasses with Wu Xiaofei and said half-jokingly, "Boss Wu, you have to keep your word."
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you the lowest discount. How about this, tomorrow is Saturday, so you can stay at our house tonight, and I will take you to see the house tomorrow." Wu Xiaofei rolled his eyes.
“Will it be too intrusive?”
"Hey, excuse me for disturbing you. There are more than a dozen guest rooms in this villa, and there are only me and my dad. How can we accommodate them all? They are usually empty. Just wait, I will ask someone to clean up your room." Wu Xiaofei said and looked at Su Jianren again.
"Su Xing, why don't you stay for a night before going back?"
Su Jianren shook his head and said, "That won't work. I have an appointment with Zhou Lin tomorrow morning. I have to go back."
When Zhao Hui heard the name Zhou Lin, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he followed Su Jianren out of the villa.
After Wu Xiaofei sent the people away, he couldn't wait to come back. Under the pretext of showing Qin Hao the room, he asked Qin Hao many questions about the stock market.
Qin Hao patiently answered them one by one. Looking at the greed and desire for money in Wu Xiaofei's eyes, he knew that his goal had been achieved and the bait had been spread. It now depended on whether the old fox Wu Xianlong would take the bait.
"Xiao Fei, Manager Qin is a guest. You keep asking questions like this and disturbing his rest. Do you have any way to entertain guests?" Wu Xianlong interrupted Wu Xiaofei's endless questions with a stern face.
"But Dad"
"But what? Manager Qin just drank so much wine, why don't you ask Auntie to make some hangover soup? You are so rash and not steady at all. You should learn more from Manager Qin in the future."
After Wu Xianlong exchanged some greetings with Qin Hao, he pulled the reluctant Wu Xiaofei away.
"This old fox is really cautious." Qin Hao looked at Wu Xianlong's back and sighed that the old ones are still the wisest. However, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was no conflict of interest with the Wu father and son for the time being. He just made this secret move to be on the safe side.
Moreover, given Wu Xianlong and his son's desire for money, they will take the bait sooner or later. Being too proactive will make Wu Xianlong suspicious.
At the same time, in the Wu family study, Wu Xiaofei kept pacing back and forth in front of Wu Xianlong, very excited.
"Dad, that's a 600% return per year, and he just moves his fingers. With this God of Wealth around, why would we have to work so hard to build a house?"
Wu Xianlong glared at his son and said, "Do you think all the money in the stock market comes from the wind? In recent years, many people have lost their fortunes and businesses due to stock speculation, and even their families have been ruined."
Wu Xiaofei sat in front of Wu Xianlong and said, "Dad, I didn't say that we would give him all the company's money. We can give him a few tens of millions first and let him help us operate it. If he makes money, let him continue. If he loses money, we will withdraw immediately."
This time, Wu Xianlong did not object. He picked up the teacup and took a sip: "What if he doesn't want to?"
"Let's give him a commission. He helps Su Jianren trade stocks to make money. How can we push the God of Wealth away?"
"Okay, then when you take him to buy a house tomorrow, have a good chat with him. I'll have the finance department transfer 50 million to your personal account within three months. We'll see how the returns are then."
Wu Xiaofei nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I will watch you the whole time."
"Don't put all your attention on the stock market. We started out in real estate. It's an industry and it's also your ladder to the upper class. No matter how much money you make from stock trading, it's like a tree without roots. You have to distinguish the primary from the secondary." Wu Xianlong said earnestly.
"I understand, Dad." Wu Xiaofei agreed verbally, but he didn't care in his heart. It was too difficult to make money in the real estate industry. He got a headache every time he looked at the company's financial statements. There was a lack of money everywhere, especially at the end of the year, when it seemed as if everyone was asking him for debts.
The next day, Wu Xiaofei prepared a sumptuous breakfast to entertain Qin Hao.
"Lao Qin, let's eat first. My dad ate early in the morning and went to the hospital."
"Is everything alright, Mr. Wu?"
"Hey, it's nothing. It's just an old problem. My heart isn't very good. You know that people working in real estate have had a hard time in the past two years. So many things in the company are on him." Wu Xiaofei looked guilty and sighed, "Alas, it's also my fault that I don't have any skills and can't share my dad's worries."
Qin Hao consoled him, "Mr. Wu, you are too modest. Among all the second-generation entrepreneurs I have met, your ability is absolutely second to none. Now the real estate industry has tightened its policies, mainly because it developed too fast in the past few years. It is a cyclical adjustment. You should also ask Mr. Wu not to work too hard. More haste makes waste."
"Lao Qin, I understand the logic, and my dad knows it too, but when the time comes, we are really anxious. To be honest, if it weren't for Uncle Zhao and Su Xing's help and approving a loan of more than 1 billion yuan, once our Yinhe Community project was left unfinished, the entire company would have collapsed. How can we not worry?" After Wu Xiaofei finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Lao Qin, to be honest, I really envy you guys who work in finance. You can make money just by moving your fingers in front of the screen. It's much easier than it is for us."
Qin Hao knew that the fish was about to take the bait, but he remained calm on the surface.
"In fact, it's not as easy as you say. After all, stocks are different from gambling. Gambling is all about luck. Stocks are like a group of people who have mastered the core information and know the bottom card first. For small retail investors like us to make money, it is like snatching food from the tiger's mouth."
However, after seeing Su Jianren's U.S. stock trading records, Wu Xiaofei became convinced of Qin Hao's stock trading skills.
"Then you still made so much money for Su Xing."
"It's mainly because we caught up with the overall rise of the U.S. stock market. Such opportunities don't always come along."
The more modest Qin Hao was, the more Wu Xiaofei felt he was steady and reliable.
"Lao Qin, how about this? I have some pocket money, but it's not worth putting it in the bank. Can you help me with this?"
"Of course, don't worry, I won't ask for your help in vain. How about I give you a ten-point commission?"
Qin Hao pondered for a moment and stretched out his hand: "Fifteen points of pure profit."
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Wu Xiaofei looked distressed.
"This is already a friendly price. Of course, if you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself."
"Okay, fifteen points is settled."
Wu Xiaofei finally couldn't resist the temptation of a 500% return and agreed.
Soon, Wu Xiaofei converted 5000 million yuan in his account into 750 million US dollars, transferred it to his US stock account, and sent the account number and password to Qin Hao via WeChat.
"Lao Qin, this is all my property. It all depends on you."
"It's not too late to regret now." Qin Hao said half-jokingly.
Wu Xiaofei smiled awkwardly: "Why should I regret it? I am the kind of person who goes back on my words."
After putting away the laptop, Wu Xiaofei planned to take Qin Hao to the Yinhe Community to look at houses. Suddenly, Qin Hao had an idea.
"Mr. Wu, would you mind giving me an extra discounted quota?"
Wu Xiaofei waved his hand and said, "Hey, I don't care. You can buy as many sets as you want. I'll give you the lowest discount on all of them."
"I didn't buy it, I bought it for a friend."
"Girlfriend?" Wu Xiaofei smiled wickedly.
"What are you thinking about? You also know this person, Tian Xiaohui." Qin Hao rolled his eyes at him unhappily.
"Oh, it's her." Wu Xiaofei patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said with a sly smile, "Honestly, you really have no interest in her at all? If I were to say I'd go for her if I like her, so what if she has a boyfriend? With your conditions, what can that guy named Tao have to compare with you?"
"Are you always so gossipy?"
"No, Lao Qin, please think about it. I think you two are a good match."
Ignoring Wu Xiaofei's nagging, Qin Hao sat directly in the back seat of the business car and took out his cell phone.
Tian Xiaohui finally had a weekend and was staying at home watching TV with her mother.
Just as she was watching the movie, her cell phone suddenly rang. Mother Tian thought it was a work call and said unhappily.
"Your company doesn't even let people have some peace and quiet on the weekend. You're treating people like beasts of burden."
Before she could finish her words, Tian Xiaohui placed the phone screen in front of her. Mother Tian shut up instantly and signaled her to answer the call quickly.
"Hey, Lao Qin, what? There is such a good thing?"
When Mother Tian heard that there was good news, she thought that there was progress in the relationship between Qin Hao and her daughter, so she immediately came over with a smile on her face, wanting to listen to what they were talking about.
However, Tian Xiaohui hung up the phone directly.
"Hey, why did you hang up? I still want to talk to Xiao Qin." Mother Tian said dissatisfiedly.
Tian Xiaohui glared at her mother and said, "What do you have to talk about? Mom, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense with Lao Qin. Lao Qin and I are just good friends. Lao Qin also takes care of me in my career. I am very grateful to him. There is nothing else. If you say something that makes Lao Qin misunderstand you, and then Lao Qin deliberately keeps a distance from me, don't regret it."
Mother Tian grumbled in dissatisfaction: "You only know how to threaten me. I don't know what drug that boy surnamed Tao gave you to make you so devoted to him."
When Tao Wuji was mentioned, Tian Xiaohui became even more upset. She ignored her mother and went straight back to her room to change clothes.
"Nannan, are you going out with Lao Qin?" Mother Tian asked curiously when she saw her daughter coming out looking brand new.
"Well, Lao Qin said there is a property that will be launched soon and he can give an internal discount price. He asked me if I am interested."
"Yes, what kind of property is it? How's the location? How's the environment? How much is the discount?"
When she heard that there were low-priced houses, Mother Tian immediately became excited.
Tian Xiaohui fixed her hair and said casually, "You can only know the location after you go there and see it. As for the discount, it seems to be 25% off."
"25% off? Oh, my girl, you must grab this opportunity. You can save a lot of money." When Mrs. Tian heard such a low discount, her eyes immediately lit up.
Tian Xiaohui rolled her eyes. "Even if it's 25% off, the down payment will be one or two million. All my savings now only add up to 500,000. Where can I get that much money?"
"Oh, you don't have it, but I do. If the location is good, I can sell the stocks I have and it will be enough for the down payment."
"Stocks, Mom, when did you buy the stocks? Didn't you say you would never touch stocks again?"
"Why are you so fierce? Who am I doing this for? It's all for you. That boy surnamed Tao doesn't have much ability to make money, and he can't help his family. How can mom bear to leave all the burdens to you alone? Besides, I didn't buy stocks blindly. I bought them because Xiao Qin recommended them. Not to mention that they have risen 37% in the past few months. Xiao Qin is really a good kid."
Tian Xiaohui was both moved and sad. She didn't want to blame her mother anymore and wiped away her tears.
"Mom, why don't you come with me? It will save us the trouble of making another trip."
"Okay, then you should tell Xiao Qin first, so that he won't be upset."
Tian Xiaohui said angrily: "Mom, why are you here again?"
