Becoming the King of Bottom Fishing After Going All-In on A-Shares

Chapter 107 Report

Lu Chenzhou looked at her quiet profile, took off his coat, and gently covered her with it.

Then he turned his head and continued looking at the clouds outside the window.

Above the clouds, the sky was a clear, pure blue.

At 8:40 p.m., the plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Wen Zhiyu was awakened by the jolt of the plane landing.

She opened her eyes and found herself covered with Lu Chenzhou's coat.

She paused for a moment, then sat up straight, folded her coat, and handed it to him.

"Thanks."

Lu Chenzhou took the coat and put it on.

The two of them got off the plane, collected their luggage, and walked out of the arrival gate.

Wen Zhiyu turned on her phone, the screen lit up briefly, and then began to vibrate wildly.

Notifications kept popping up one after another—text messages, QQ messages, news pushes—there was simply no time to read them all.

She clicked on the top news notification, which was from Sina Finance.

The title is: "Lu Chenzhou Responds at Airport: 3.53 Million, 'Just a Number'"

She stared at the headline for two seconds, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

Then she put her phone in her pocket, dragged her suitcase, and followed Lu Chenzhou.

Outside the exit, the night breeze in Beijing was quite cool.

Wen Zhiyu shrank her neck and zipped her coat all the way up.

Lu Chenzhou glanced at her, said nothing, and hailed a taxi.

"Where to?" the driver asked.

"Renmin University West Gate".

The taxi drove into the night.

Wen Zhiyu leaned against the car window, watching the lights outside recede one by one.

Lu Chenzhou.

"Um.

"

Are we going to the science park again tomorrow?

"go."

"What time is it?"

"7:30."

Wen Zhiyu nodded.

She didn't ask any more questions.

The taxi continued driving into the night.

In late October in Beijing, the night air was cool, but the car's heater was on full blast.

Wen Zhiyu took off her coat, draped it over her lap, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes.

This time, she didn't fall asleep.

She was just thinking that tomorrow is another day.

The landscape of Hong Kong stocks has changed; what about the landscape of A-shares?

she does not know.

But she knew that no matter how things changed, she would always stand behind that person.

Just like today.

That evening, major financial media outlets successively published interview reports.

Phoenix TV's headline was: "Lu Chenzhou Responds for the First Time After Market Close: 3.53 Million, 'Just a Number'"

Sina Finance's headline is: "Lu Chenzhou, the 'Leverage King': Look Carefully Before Betting."

The Hong Kong Economic Journal's headline reads: "Lu Chenzhou: Foreign capital can't stop dumping; once the market believes it, prices will rise."

The headline of the 21st Century Business Herald was: "From 1 to 6 million in 40 days: Lu Chenzhou's four words and six characters."

The South China Morning Post's headline is: "Chinese Student Investor: 'Luck is Part of Strength, But It Doesn't Last 40 Days'"

On Baidu Tieba, someone posted a screenshot of the report.

The post titled "Brother Lu was blocked at the airport, his exact words, a huge amount of information" included a comment: "He said 3.53 million is just a number?" My annual salary is less than 3, and he earns 3.53 million a day, and he calls it just a number?

"That's what perspective means; you can't understand it."

He said, "Luck doesn't last 40 days," meaning his success wasn't due to luck.

"Nonsense, do you think you can get it right 40 days in a row by luck? Show me your luck once!"

He said investing is a personal matter, not a group matter. What he meant was, don't blindly follow the crowd; do your own research and make your own judgments.

"He's right, but the problem is, I can't figure it out."

"Then don't apply, just go to work honestly."

That hurts.

"Did you notice the girl next to him, Wen Zhiyu? When the reporter asked her if she believed Lu Chenzhou, she said yes. Just one word, no further explanation."

"Trust, that one word is more important than anything else, even my life."

"Indeed, saying too much makes it less true; one word is enough."

"So Wen Zhiyu isn't his secretary, she's his partner, not just a contractual partner, but the kind of... you know."

"Understood."

"I understand now."

"Don't try to understand. It's their business, why are you meddling in their affairs?"

"It's not that I'm worried, it's that I'm envious."

"Envy +1".

"Envy +10086".

It was already past nine o'clock at night when the door to dormitory 302 was pushed open.

Lu Chenzhou walked in, wearing a black thin jacket, a white T-shirt, and dark trousers.

He was carrying a backpack on one shoulder, holding his phone in his left hand, and carrying a bag in his right.

Wen Zhiyu bought egg tarts at the airport, saying he should bring them back for his roommate to try.

When he entered, the dormitory lights were on, and all three people were there.

Xia Yaozong lay on the bed, holding his phone, the screen displaying posts from Baidu Tieba.

Zhang Yixing sat at the table with a pile of documents spread out in front of him, still organizing research reports on some sectors.

Yang Cheng leaned against the headboard, holding a book in his hand, seemingly engrossed in something.

Hearing the door open, all three people looked up at the same time.

Then they were all stunned for a moment.

Xia Yaozong was the first to react. He threw his phone on the bed, sat up, and his face was full of disappointment.

"Holy shit!" His voice boomed through the dorm room. "Lu Chenzhou, are you even a man?"

Lu Chenzhou placed the backpack on the bed and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"What?"

"What?" Xia Yaozong's voice rose eight octaves. "When other people take their girlfriends out, they want to stay in the hotel every day. But you, you go out and come back on the same day. And this is the second time you've done this."

He jumped off the bed, stood barefoot on the floor, hands on his hips, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Look at you, flying there in the morning and flying back at night, making the round trip every day. Wen Zhiyu must have had the worst luck to be with you."

Lu Chenzhou placed the bag of egg tarts on the table, opened it, took one out, and took a bite.

"She bought it, so you can have a taste."

Xia Yaozong was stunned for a moment, then became even angrier.

"Don't change the subject. I'm talking about you. You took someone to Hong Kong, and all you took them to was the trading floor? They stood there all day? They didn't even have a proper meal?"

Lu Chenzhou chewed on an egg tart and thought for a moment.

"I ate. I had a boxed lunch in the trading hall."

Xia Yaozong rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

"A boxed lunch? You took them to Hong Kong and they only ate a boxed lunch?"

Zhang Yixing smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

Yang Cheng also put down his book, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Xia Yaozong continued, "Look at those couples, what are they doing in Hong Kong?"

Disneyland, Ocean Park, Victoria Peak, Victoria Harbour, and you? Trading floor!

Lu Chenzhou swallowed the egg tart, his tone calm.

"She wasn't there for fun."

"So what was she going there for?"

"Work."

Xia Yaozong opened his mouth, only to find that he didn't know how to refute it.

He looked at Lu Chenzhou's calm face, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.

"Okay, work. Now tell me, where are you two staying in Hong Kong?"

"I didn't stay there."

"Not staying there?"

"Go and return on the same day, no need to stay overnight."

Xia Yaozong was completely speechless.

He turned around, walked to the bedside, collapsed onto the bed, buried his face in the pillow, and muttered, "Did Wen Zhiyu owe you money in her past life?"

Zhang Yixing stood up from the table, walked to Lu Chenzhou's side, picked up an egg tart, and took a bite.

"Hmm, not bad. Wen Zhiyu picked it?"

"Um.

""

Where is she?

"Back to the dorm."

Zhang Yixing nodded and took another bite of the egg tart.

Xia Yaozong lifted his head from under the pillow, glanced at the egg tarts on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and took one.

"She bought it, so why not eat it?"

He took a bite, chewed it, and then said, "It tastes alright, but were you standing right next to her when she bought the egg tarts?"

"Um."

"Didn't you say I'd treat you to a meal?"

"I said so."

"What did she say?"

She said no, that she had already earned enough today.

Xia Yaozong paused for a moment, then smiled.

"This girl is more sensible than you."

77

Lu Chenzhou didn't reply. He walked to his bedside, sat down, took off his shoes, and changed into a pair of slippers.

Yang Cheng also took an egg tart, took a bite, and then asked, "Are you tired today?"

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment.

"good."

"Where is Wen Zhiyu?"

Lu Chenzhou remained silent for a second.

"Her legs went numb from standing all day."

Yang Cheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After finishing the egg tart, Xia Yaozong regained his energy.

He sat up in bed, placed his hands on his knees, and stared at Lu Chenzhou.

"Brother Lu, I have a few questions for you. Answer them honestly."

Lu Chenzhou put down his phone and looked at him.

"ask."

"First, did you take Wen Zhiyu to Hong Kong today for work or personal reasons?"

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment.

"Yes, we have them all."

"They call it everything?"

"She's a secretary, and the job requires her to be present, but letting her go was my decision."

Xia Yaozong was taken aback: "Isn't that a private matter?"

Lu Chenzhou did not deny it.

Xia Yaozong's eyes lit up, and he moved closer.

"Secondly, did you hold her hand while you were in Hong Kong today?"

The dormitory was quiet for a moment.

Zhang Yixing's fingers paused for a moment, and Yang Cheng's hand, which was turning the pages of the book, also paused for a moment.

Lu Chenzhou looked at Xia Yaozong and remained silent for two seconds.

"have."

Xia Yaozong slapped his thigh suddenly: "I knew it!"

He jumped out of bed, paced back and forth in the dormitory a couple of times, then stopped, turned around, and looked at Lu Chenzhou.

Third, what was her reaction when you held her hand?

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment.

"I couldn't shake them off."

"That's it? Nothing else?"

Nothing else.

"She didn't say anything?"

"no."

"You didn't say anything either?"

"no."

Xia Yaozong opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then felt that there was nothing to say.

He stood there for a long time, thinking, and finally said, "You two are a perfect match."

Yang Cheng didn't say much.

He leaned against the headboard, holding the book in his hand, but the pages hadn't been turned in a long time.

He listened to Xia Yaozong and Lu Chenzhou's conversation without any change in expression.

But those who know him well know that he listens more attentively than anyone else.

After Xia Yaozong finished questioning him, Yang Cheng spoke up.

"The sunken ship."

Lu Chenzhou looked at him.

"What you said at the airport today made the news."

39

"Know."

"What did you mean by your last comment, 'The landscape of Hong Kong stocks has changed'?"

Lu Chenzhou looked at him.

"Literal meaning."

"You mean Hong Kong stocks have bottomed out?"

Lu Chenzhou remained silent for two seconds.

"What I'm saying is, the world has changed."

It doesn't mean it's hit rock bottom, it means the direction has changed.

It was falling before, now it's rising.

How long it can rise is unknown.

But the direction has changed, and that's enough.

Yang Cheng nodded.

"What about A-shares?"

Lu Chenzhou did not answer immediately.

He picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

"The future of A-shares is fast approaching."

How fast?

"I don't know, but it'll be soon."

Yang Cheng did not ask any further questions.

He turned to the next page and continued reading.

But he stared at that page for a long time, unable to absorb a single word.

After a moment of silence in the dormitory, Xia Yaozong, unwilling to give up, continued to ask.

"Brother Lu."

"Um."

"What else did you do in Hong Kong today besides holding her hand?"

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment.

"That's all."

"You just held hands?"

"Um."

"You didn't kiss her?"

"no."

Xia Yaozong sighed, pulled the blanket over his head, and muttered, "You're hopeless."

Lu Chenzhou didn't reply; he continued eating.

Zhang Yixing lowered his head and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Yang Cheng turned a page of his book and smiled.

After a while, Xia Yaozong's voice came from under the covers, muffled.

"Brother Lu."

"Um."

Are we going to the science park again tomorrow?

"go."

"What time is it?"

"7:30."

"understood."

The dormitory was quiet.

Lu Chenzhou closed his eyes.

He was very tired today, but he couldn't sleep.

My mind is racing with thoughts about tomorrow.

Hong Kong stocks rose 14 points today, but will likely pull back tomorrow.

How much will it pull back? I don't know, but he won't touch his positions.

The stocks I bought today are not for short-term trading, but for medium-term investment.

It will take at least a period of time.

He was wondering how long this period of time would be.

One month? Two months? Three months?

do not know.

But it will be soon.

The future of A-shares is fast approaching.

He rolled over, changed his position, and closed his eyes.

This time, he fell asleep quickly.
