Chapter 10: Earning 380,000 Hong Kong Dollars in a Single Day
“...”
Chen Hao was completely thrown off by Li Zhi!
He had already told Li Zhi twice that he wanted to buy 100 lots of HSBC stock.
Yet, she still asked him which stock to buy!
But time waits for no one.
Without hesitation, he immediately repeated to Li Zhi, “Buy 100 lots of HSBC!”
“Oh!”
Li Zhi nodded, then, using her mobile phone, she relayed the order to the trader at Xiangsheng Securities, “Buy 100 lots of HSBC!”
Soon, the trader completed the transaction.
Chen Hao continued to fix his eyes on the electronic display, his mind racing.
“Buy 80 lots of Sun Hung Kai Properties!”
Quickly, Chen Hao issued another trade order.
Li Zhi swiftly conveyed the instruction to the Xiangsheng Securities trader.
“Sell 100 lots of HSBC!”
“Buy 100 lots of Cheung Kong Holdings!”
“Sell 80 lots of Sun Hung Kai Properties!”
“...”
Chen Hao’s trading instructions came rapidly and densely.
Fortunately, Li Zhi was no slouch; she was able to relay Chen Hao’s commands quickly and accurately every time.
Li Zhi was shocked to discover that each of Chen Hao’s orders was strikingly precise.
There were practically no mistakes!
Chen Hao could actually predict the stock price movements of many shares with such accuracy!
If it were just once or twice, it might be chalked up to luck!
But Chen Hao’s consistent precision couldn’t be explained by luck anymore.
The only reasonable explanation was that Chen Hao truly possessed the skill to accurately forecast the stock price trends of many shares.
This made Li Zhi increasingly admire him!
Although she had never traded stocks before, she had heard a few things about the stock market.
She knew that most retail investors relied on luck or rumors and insider tips to trade blindly.
Such trading usually ended up losing money.
She rarely heard of anyone who could so accurately predict numerous stock price movements.
Yet Chen Hao was able to do so!
She wondered just how Chen Hao managed to predict these stock price trends.
What was his secret?
This Chen Hao was like an enigma wrapped in mystery.
---
Despite being dirt poor, he actually came to places like Lan Kwai Fong to drink!
A stowaway who was so proficient at stock trading!
What on earth was Chen Hao’s background?
Unconsciously, the afternoon trading session drew to a close!
After hours of intense battling, Chen Hao felt his head spinning and heavy with fatigue.
He pressed his fingers firmly against his temples, trying to ease the discomfort.
“Is your head hurting again?”
Li Zhi, seeing his grim expression, asked with deep concern.
“Yeah,” he nodded slightly.
“It’s a bit uncomfortable. I’ve been using my brain too much.”
“Let’s go,” she urged.
“Let’s hurry back. You should rest well once we’re home.”
Grabbing Chen Hao’s arm, Li Zhi led him outside.
“By the way, call and check how much money is in our account now,” Chen Hao said.
“Let’s ask later,” Li Zhi replied.
At that moment, she cared more about Chen Hao’s health than the money.
She hailed a taxi by the roadside and both got in.
She gave the driver their destination.
“Call Xiangsheng Securities now to check!” Chen Hao insisted.
“Or their office might close soon.”
He was eager to know exactly how much they had earned today.
Although he had a rough idea, he wanted the precise figure.
“Okay!”
Li Zhi nodded, took out her phone, and called Xiangsheng Securities.
Soon, she ended the call, her face filled with disbelief.
“Am I dreaming?”
“We actually made this much money!”
“This is even more than I’d earn from acting in a drama!”
She looked at Chen Hao excitedly.
---
“How much did we make exactly?” Chen Hao asked with a smile.
“Our account now holds 750,000 Hong Kong dollars!”
“I initially put in 370,000 HKD!”
“Now it’s 750,000 HKD!”
“That means we earned 380,000 HKD in just one day!”
“I can hardly believe it!”
Li Zhi exclaimed in astonishment.
She couldn’t earn this much even from starring in a drama!
Yet Chen Hao made this sum in a single day!
Chen Hao was simply incredible!
“380,000 HKD profit,” Chen Hao said with a satisfied smile.
Not bad at all.
However, earning so much had come at a hefty cost.
His brain had been running at high intensity for a prolonged period, draining his mental energy severely.
Now, he felt utterly exhausted.
All he wanted was to sleep soundly.
Leaning back in his seat, he slowly closed his eyes, allowing his mind and body to relax completely.
He soon fell asleep.
Li Zhi, watching Chen Hao’s weary form, felt a pang of sympathy.
Worried that he might be uncomfortable resting like this, she softly said, “Chen Hao, you can rest your head on my shoulder.”
Chen Hao didn’t respond.
Apparently, he had already fallen asleep.
She gently leaned closer and carefully lifted his head, resting it on her shoulder to make him more comfortable.
To avoid waking him, she remained perfectly still, afraid to disturb him.
Watching Chen Hao asleep, she found him irresistibly charming even in slumber.
She gazed at him, feeling a little enchanted.
“Here we are!”
Suddenly, the taxi stopped, and the driver’s voice startled Li Zhi from her reverie.
At the same time, Chen Hao woke up.
He realized his head was resting on Li Zhi’s shoulder...
