Chapter 666: Chapter 666: Hooked

The legend of the Stock God had spread far and wide.

However, as time passed and Yue Jiannan no longer bought stocks, he gradually faded from public memory.

After all, the world of quick money-making is never short of god-making; there’s always a new Stock God rising, and everyday this place is abuzz with all sorts of true and false news.

There were old stock traders who made a fortune overnight, as well as beginners whose luck was astonishing.

In reality, most were just ordinary investors who fluctuated between profits and losses in the stock sea.

Upon entering, Yue Jiannan sought a familiar trader, who lit up upon seeing Yue Jiannan.

“Bro, you haven’t been here for so long, why did you even cancel your account?”

Yue Jiannan revealed a mysterious smile, “Just taking profit on time.”

The trader immediately showed a mix of genuine and feigned admiration.

Stock trading is somewhat similar to gambling in certain respects.

There are winners and losers at the gambling table, but often the biggest winners aren’t those who win a lot of money in one or two hands, but those who know when to leave the table.

Human nature is greedy; that Yue Jiannan was able to stop after earning so much warranted respect.

“So what brings you here today…”

“Just got married, funds are a bit tight,” Yue Jiannan said with an air of treating the stock market like an ATM, prompting Gui Yi, who was secretly listening, to snicker.

You think you can just make money by showing up? You might end up losing even your pants.

Then let Lin Yushan blow the chill with you.

That’ll teach the woman to regret choosing such a loser.

Yue Jiannan couldn’t hear Gui Yi’s sneering, and he opened a new account and selected a few stocks under Yue Qingqing’s subtle guidance.

This time, Yue Jiannan’s investment wasn’t big, adding up to only about two thousand yuan.

Much less than the amount he bought last time.

“Just buying a bit for today, let it flow slowly,” he said.

Yue Qingqing followed with cheerleading, “Uncle’s right, we’ll come back the day after tomorrow, I’ve got to get to class soon too.”

Yue Jiannan left with his little niece in tow, while the trader was inputting the codes into the computer when someone suddenly stood in front of the window.

Gui Yi stretched out his arm, “Let me see that order?”

The trader quickly pulled the order away, awkwardly saying, “That’s against the rules.”

Gui Yi’s face darkened, “I just want to see what he bought, that’s not allowed?”

“It’s the customer’s privacy, we can’t disclose it.”

Gui Yi huffed, pulled out his newly bought phone, and made a call.

“Uncle? Do you know anyone in the trading firm? Yes, the one on Jello Road.”

A moment later, the phone in front of the trader rang.

After listening to a few words from the other end, the trader was stunned, but he had to comply.

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

When he hung up the phone, Gui Yi smirked, “Well?”

The trader reluctantly, but inevitably showed Yue Jiannan’s order to him.

Gui Yi took note and requested another order form from the trader, filling it out in the same way as Yue Jiannan had, only he bought just a few hundred shares to test the waters.

After all, he didn’t believe in Yue Jiannan, what nonsense Stock God, probably as full of hot air as the Pacific Ocean.

Yet the next day, when Gui Yi snuck into the trading firm, he was shocked to see those few codes blazing red.

Yue Jiannan had selected four stocks, and without exception, all were among the best performing the next day.

The trader also couldn’t close his mouth in amazement, thinking Yue Jiannan was simply incredible.

He didn’t believe Yue Jiannan had insider information.

After all, anyone with insider information would keep it close to their chest, not dare to show up so brazenly at the trading firm’s doorstep and buy stocks in broad daylight.

This time, Yue Jiannan did not cause much of a stir, and the trader didn’t dare to spread the word.

After all, he had once shown the order to Gui Yi, and if traders found out about such misconduct, they would definitely report it.

Gui Yi’s eyes were nearly bloodshot from staring at the swath of red, now thoroughly convinced of Yue Jiannan’s peculiar talent.

Once could be a coincidence, twice might also be a coincidence, but could all these stocks really just be coincidences?

Could it really be that knowledge is power, and these intellectuals have some means of forecasting?

Gui Yi couldn’t figure out the reason but kept his eyes on Yue Jiannan.

When Yue Jiannan came back to the trading firm with his little niece, he found Gui Yi eyeing him like he was a piece of fat meat.

He silently grinned, “Looks like he took the bait.”
