A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Will there be world peace the day after buying gold?

Lu Yang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

At first, I thought that my brother-in-law's repeated business failures were just bad luck.

Looking back now, it wasn't just bad luck at all.

Everything I invest in loses money; everything I buy falls...

It's practically a contrarian indicator!

And the day after this kid bought gold, the wars around the world stopped?

In other words, did Li Xiaochen indirectly contribute to world peace all by himself?

At this moment, he finally understood why Li Xixue disagreed.

Everything I do loses money.

This is definitely a financial nuclear bomb!

I'm not afraid of rich kids indulging in food, drink, and entertainment; I'm afraid of them starting their own businesses.

wrong.

Lu Yang suddenly had a bold idea.

If we reverse all his actions...

Wouldn't that be a sure thing with no risk?

Lu Yang looked at Li Xiaochen, and his gaze suddenly changed.

It's not sympathy.

It wasn't meant as mockery.

Rather, it's the look of someone discovering a treasure.

This guy loses money on everything he invests in. But think about it the other way around: he shorts the things he likes and goes long on the things he doesn't like.

There's an old saying in the financial world: If your win rate is below 50%, then do the opposite, and your win rate will be above 50%.

Li Xiaochen's win rate is no less than 50%.

It is zero.

100% reverse accuracy.

This is more reliable than any analyst.

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more he felt it had potential.

"Xiao Chen".

"Brother-in-law?"

What project are you planning to work on this time?

Li Xiaochen's eyes lit up immediately.

Does my brother-in-law's question mean he's supporting me?

There is a play!

Li Xiaochen cleared her throat, looking as if she had finally been taken seriously.

"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, I've done my research very thoroughly this time, I guarantee it will be a success!"

talking.

He took his phone out of his pocket and held it up in front of Lu Yang.

"Look, I've analyzed the most frequent consumption scenarios among young people today, and number one is—bubble tea!"

"???"

Upon hearing this...

Lu Yang's expression changed.

"What did you say?"

"Milk tea!"

Li Xiaochen's eyes lit up as she picked up her half-finished milk tea: "Brother-in-law, do you know how big the milk tea market is right now? It's worth hundreds of billions! And the repurchase rate is incredibly high. Young people drink at least three or four cups a week, and the profit margin is over 60%!"

Lu Yang stood there, stunned.

No.

and so on.

Is this kid talking about milk tea?

You know, what I'm making right now is milk tea!

Lu Yang took a deep breath.

He was just thinking that if he did things against Li Xiaochen's 100% accurate predictions, he would make a sure profit.

But thinking about it the other way around...

If he's optimistic about the milk tea industry, doesn't that mean... the milk tea industry is doomed?

It’s over.

The financial nuclear bomb has arrived.

No.

Absolutely not.

We must stop him.

Li Xiaochen continued to speak.

"Furthermore, I've researched the milk tea market in our city. Although there are many brands, very few truly differentiate themselves; most are competing on the same product lines. So, as long as you find the right entry point..."

Lu Yang suddenly interrupted.

"Xiao Chen..."

Li Xiaochen looked up at him, her face full of anticipation: "Brother-in-law, what do you think? Is it reliable?"

Lu Yang glanced at Li Xixue, who was sitting in an office chair with her arms crossed.

Then he said, "I think... your sister is right, starting a business is not your thing."

Li Xiaochen's smile froze instantly.

"what?"

"The bubble tea industry... isn't really suitable for you."

Lu Yang's tone became very serious.

Li Xixue sat behind her desk, watching Lu Yang suddenly make a 180-degree turn, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

You were just speaking up for Li Xiaochen, how come you suddenly changed your mind?

Li Xiaochen was stunned.

"Brother-in-law, didn't you just say you'd let me give it a try?"

"I didn't know you were going to do milk tea... cough cough, I don't think the milk tea industry is very viable," Lu Yang said seriously.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiaochen panicked: "This is a market worth hundreds of billions! I've been researching it for a long time!"

"The market is huge, but have you considered how competitive this sector is right now?"

Lu Yang said, "There are tons of established brands out there now. What makes a new, unknown brand like yours compare?"

"But I have something different..."

Li Xiaochen said weakly.

"What differentiation?"

"I plan to open a pet-themed bubble tea shop where customers can pet cats while drinking bubble tea."

"..."

Lu Yang's lips twitched.

At that moment, he only had one number in his mind: 6.

Last time it was pet funerals, this time it's pet milk tea.

"Um, have you considered the hygiene issues?"

Lu Yang then asked, "If cat hair or something floats into the milk tea, and a customer takes a sip and their mouth is full of hair, do you think they'll come back next time?"

Li Xiaochen thought for a moment.

He hadn't seriously considered this issue.

"Then I can be used as an isolation zone..."

"How can you drink and masturbate at the same time while in quarantine?"

"...That makes some sense."

Li Xiaochen fell silent.

Lu Yang pressed his advantage: "Besides, cats have tempers. What if one day they're in a bad mood and scratch a customer? Are you going to compensate them or not?"

"pay."

"After I pay you back, will you still be able to keep your shop open?"

Li Xiaochen's expression instantly fell.

After Lu Yang said that, he felt that his business plan had a lot of problems.

"Brother-in-law, what should I do...?"

Looking at him like this, an idea suddenly popped into Lu Yang's mind.

A very bold idea.

Since Li Xiaochen is a contrarian indicator, why not make use of him?

How exactly does it work?

Very simple.

Let Li Xiaochen research the market, and whatever he sees as promising, he will short it.

Whatever you're pessimistic about, you'll do more of it yourself.

The problem is, we can't let him know our true purpose.

Otherwise, if this kid deliberately says the opposite, everything will be in chaos.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Chen, have you ever thought about becoming an investment advisor?"

"Investment advisor?"

Li Xiaochen was stunned.

Even Li Xixue was taken aback.

How can someone who's good at nothing be an investment advisor?

Isn't this ridiculous?

However, thinking that she could persuade the other party to back down, she didn't say anything.

After all, his younger brother must have been blessed, because everything he did since childhood resulted in him losing money.

That's why even her own parents told her not to let Li Xiaochen interfere in the company's affairs.

Basically, he can spend money however he wants, but when it comes to starting a business, sorry, no way.

"right."

Lu Yang said seriously, "It's about helping people analyze the market."

"But all my analyses have resulted in losses..."

"That's because you're the one managing the trades."

Lu Yang bluffed, "Analysis is analysis, and trading is trading; they are two different things."

Li Xiaochen tilted her head and thought for a moment.

That seems to make sense?

"Brother-in-law, you mean...?"

"What I mean is, you should let me know before you make any investment decisions in the future."
