Chapter 196 Bro Hao, Take Me With You!
It was rare to see Su Yehao acting like an ant on a hot pot, so Nangong Tian naturally noticed something was wrong.
When he returned to the living room, the little girl was a little nervous and tentatively asked, "Brother Hao, what happened?"
"Well, the US stock market plummeted. More than a hundred million I invested took a beating, wiping out more than forty million Hong Kong dollars in profit at once!"
Su Yehao put on his coat, found his car keys, and prepared to go out.
Nangong Tian felt something was off and asked, "You lost so much money? Why are you still smiling? I feel like you're excited. Are you crazy?"
Jiang Yu, who was gnawing on a chicken claw, chimed in, "Let him be so greedy. He made so much money and didn't run. He's in trouble now. Otherwise... find a driver to help you drive. You're distracted and prone to accidents."
Nangong Tian immediately stood up and volunteered, "I'll drive! Professional chauffeur! It's so late, Brother Hao, where are you going?"
"I'm going to First Quanye Securities. It's in Central, just a quick drive. You guys stay home."
Su Yehao put on his shoes and explained with a smile, "If I didn't have spare money on hand, I'd definitely panic when faced with such a big drop. But now I have more than three hundred million in my account, and I'm worried about not having the chance to buy more. Now Yahoo's stock price has almost collapsed, and the US stock market is on the verge of collapse. By preparing in advance, I can lower the purchase price at any time. This is a golden opportunity for me!"
Neither Nangong Tian nor Jiang Yu were clueless about the stock market.
They could understand what Su Yehao meant.
Despite Jiang Yu saying he was greedy and deserved the misfortune, she was still concerned about Su Yehao's business and poured cold water on him, reminding him, "The Hong Kong stock market has fallen so badly, how do you know the US stock market will rebound? Be careful not to succeed in buying low, and instead get trapped again. Didn't you just make a lot of money recently? Wouldn't it be better to be cautious?"
Worried that the girls would overthink, Su Yehao wasn't in a rush to leave. He explained again with a smile, "I have my own plans. My confidence in Yahoo is based on the future development trend. I won't say it's a hundred percent success, but I'm at least ninety-five percent sure. If you two have spare money, gather it as soon as possible and wait for my news. I'll take you to earn some pocket money."
Jiang Yu remained noncommittal.
However, the little girl's faith in Brother Hao was unwavering, and she immediately declared, "Brother Hao, take me with you! You said you wanted to make a movie last time, so I've already withdrawn the money. I'll call my mom now and ask her to lend me some money!"
Jiang Yu, looking speechless, felt that the usually quirky and clever Nangong Tian must have been hit by Su Yehao's curse and was completely hopeless.
However, after interacting with her for some time, Jiang Yu understood why the little girl could win in the invisible competition.
If she put herself in his shoes, Jiang Yu thought that if she were a man, she would probably also like the proactive and enthusiastic Nangong Tian.
Not feeling self-pitying, but Jiang Yu was regretting at this moment, thinking about why she couldn't be as enthusiastic and unrestrained as Nangong Tian...
Su Yehao went out alone.
After entering the elevator, he thought of Nong Qingying.
That little money grubber, who a few months ago owned properties worth more than fifty million Hong Kong dollars, now probably only had about forty million left, and there was no market for them, making it difficult to find a buyer.
Investing in stocks and making money was Nong Qingying's only comfort now. With the sharp drop in stock prices, her income plummeted.
Thinking about Nong Qingying crying and saying something like "I'm so miserable" in the future, Su Yehao began to have a headache.
Such a big event as the US stock market crash will definitely be on the headlines tomorrow morning, which will attract more attention than the Hong Kong stock market crash. In this era, it is equivalent to half of the sea-stabilizing needle being broken, and the global economy will be affected.
Instead of waiting for her to hear the news from somewhere else and overthinking, Su Yehao thought it was better to tell her in advance.
Therefore, after exiting the elevator, Su Yehao dialed Nong Qingying's phone.
He only heard her say in a strange tone on the other end of the phone, "Rare, you finally thought of me because no one is warming your bed at night? I don't want to talk to you now. I'm already sitting in bed, holding a teacup and watching TV."
Su Yehao told her, "At your parents' house? The US stock market has crashed, and Yahoo's stock price has plummeted. It's already fallen to forty-two dollars, and it's still falling. Come out and meet me. The opportunity to buy low has arrived. I'll pick you up and chat in person, don't be nervous."
"Oh no!"
A scream came from the other end of the phone.
After a while, he heard Nong Qingying say, "My cup spilled, and the quilt is all wet. Wait a few minutes, I'll change my clothes now, and I'll wait for you downstairs!"
Sure enough, when she heard that the money was gone, Nong Qingying instantly lost her composure.
First Quanye Securities needed some time to prepare the new contract, and Yahoo's stock price had already begun to plummet. There was no point in being anxious now.
Because it was unclear whether it would be a "v" shape, a quick flash crash, and a quick rebound, Su Yehao didn't even dare to clear his position and wait and see. After all, Yahoo's market value was only two billion US dollars, and there were even fewer circulating shares. Once other institutions chose to increase their holdings, the stocks he sold might not be able to be bought back at a suitable price.
The idea of selling first and then repurchasing only flashed through Su Yehao's mind before he decisively abandoned it.
Yahoo's increase was amazing, and many institutions had been eyeing it recently. It was hard to guarantee that someone wasn't preparing to buy low and sell high behind this crash, setting up a trap.
Therefore, Su Yehao only planned to find a suitable opportunity to increase his holdings.
Although the famous Amazon company had been listed, its current performance and stock price were very average. As Yahoo was Su Yehao's only speculative project of focus, steady progress was the key.
…
As a man, you can never believe a woman's so-called "few minutes."
He drove all the way to the apartment building rented by Nong Qingying's parents, but he didn't see anyone, so he waited patiently for a while.
He called the employees of First Quanye Securities' Hong Kong branch to get real-time updates on Yahoo's latest movements. It had already flashed down to forty US dollars and was still falling.
The Dow Jones Index had plummeted 5.7% since the opening, and the US stock market was green for rising and red for falling. Today, the market was all red.
Su Yehao's fundamentals were very stable, supported by previous profits, so there was no need to panic.
Just as he hung up the phone and began to get impatient, he finally saw Nong Qingying wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, with a hat on her head, running all the way.
"Why did it take so long? I didn't see you putting on makeup?" Su Yehao asked after looking her up and down.
Nong Qingying replied, "I get a stomachache easily when I'm nervous."
"What's there to be nervous about? This is an opportunity for us, suitable for buying low and waiting for a rebound. I thought about it on the way here. First Quanye Bank has given me a credit line of thirty million Hong Kong dollars. I'll lend this money to you, and after you make money, take me out for a big meal."
Su Yehao wasn't telling the truth.
In fact, the bank had given him a credit line of sixty million Hong Kong dollars, which could be used first and then repaid.
He had to thank his good parents for this, as no one would worry about him not being able to repay the money.
As for the other thirty million, Su Yehao planned to leave it for the little girl, Nangong Tian, to level the playing field and take the opportunity to earn some pocket money together. Anyway, the more than three hundred million he had on hand was enough, and the credit line would be wasted if it wasn't used.
As for Yin Liuli, she was living a good life now. Su Yehao had given her a credit card, but she had never used it.
When he was more financially stable and the house prices were right, Su Yehao planned to give her a house to settle down in the area.
There was no need to rush in the short term. It wouldn't be too late to talk about it in a year or two.
It wasn't that he wanted to keep Yin Liuli hanging on; it was purely because their relationship hadn't reached that point, and he didn't want her to feel burdened. After all, she felt pressured even when he gave her bags or clothes.
Su Yehao was still quite generous to his own women.
Considering that stocks could also be played with options, he was currently considering the feasibility of buying low and going long.
The problem was that, based on the current situation, the volatility was too great, and he could lose everything with a single mistake.
After thinking it over, he felt it wasn't stable enough.
This was also why he planned to use the credit line given by the bank, rather than using a small amount of money to let Nong Qingying and Nangong Tian play with leverage…
