Chapter 152 - Chapter 152: Investing in Futures

Dean Xiao's old secrets were exposed, but his face didn't turn red at all.

He patted Wu Bo's shoulder: "Little Wu, it's just telling a story. Did you really take it seriously?"

Wu Bo: "..."

Both were in education at neighboring schools; who didn't know whom?

I want to see how you explain this campus romance to your wife when you get home.

Wu Bo knew his defeat was certain this time, so he had to leave.

Xiao He: "Sigh, I've sacrificed too much to recruit a few more talents for Jingda."

...Professor Xiao and Ye Chen discussed the contract deposit, and then both parties signed the contract.

The contract was simple: Ye Chen and Xia Yingluo must apply to Jingda as their first choice, and Jingda must also recruit them both.

After signing, Ye Chen and Xia Yingluo saw Xiao He to the door.

Professor Xiao suddenly paused and said, "Actually, my original target was Xia Yingluo?"

Ye Chen looked at Professor Xiao in confusion.

"I looked at her information. As an orphan, it's not easy to achieve such results through hard work. I like hardworking children like her, so Yingluo was my primary target."

Professor Wu smiled triumphantly.

Wu Bo thought Xiao He was being magnanimous, but he didn't know that Xiao He had decided to take Xia Yingluo in from the very beginning, and Ye Chen was just an alternative.

When he saw their information, Xiao He took a liking to this young girl at first glance.

Perhaps it was because he was getting older, but seeing a child like Xia Yingluo who worked hard for her destiny, Xiao He couldn't help but show favoritism.

Xiao He glanced at Ye Chen: "As for you, kid, I can see that your heart isn't on studying at all. It'll be hard for you to do specialized research."

It had to be said that Xiao He was very accurate in judging people.

Xiao He paused and continued: "However, since you've entered my Department of Mathematics, you'll be under my nose. Trying to slack off won't work; I'll be keeping a close eye on you."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

He only now realized that Professor Wu was truly an old fox.

He had been schemed against from the very beginning.

Xiao He patted Ye Chen: "Young man, I don't object to dating, but since you have talent, you shouldn't let it go to waste, right?"

Watching Xiao He's departing figure, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.

This old man is quite interesting.

In the evening, Li Sitong gave Ye Chen a call.

She had just been admitted to the Film Academy.

Ye Chen wasn't surprised by this result.

Li Sitong not only studied well but had already shown artistic talent in her previous life.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Later, I'll give you a gift."

"What gift?" Li Sitong was startled.

"You'll know in the future."

Li Sitong was entering the Entertainment Circle, while Xia Yingluo would still go into business.

The life trajectories of the two were the same as in their previous lives.

Xia Yingluo was by his side, so everything was easy to handle, but Ye Chen also planned to help Li Sitong.

Although Li Sitong could carve out a path on her own.

But Ye Chen knew that path was too arduous.

So Ye Chen decided to establish an entertainment company in the future and sign Li Sitong himself, so that those pig trotter directors and Agents would all get lost.

He wouldn't allow anyone to touch his woman.

Ye Chen was now thinking about how to quickly accumulate wealth.

Bored, Ye Chen started browsing web pages on his computer.

Originally, Ye Chen thought about browsing some information about the stock market, intending to continue shearing wool.

But as Ye Chen looked, his brow furrowed.

Because the stock market had been very stable lately, and there were no stocks suitable for investment.

At a glance, there were no stocks in the market with large short-term fluctuations, so Ye Chen had no way to make a move.

"Ye Chen, are you eating at home tonight?"

At this time, Mother Ye came back.

She was carrying a large pile of groceries in her hand.

"Yeah, I'm eating at home."

"Okay, then I'll cook something good today to celebrate."

Mother Ye said as she began to organize the vegetables she bought.

Ye Chen ran out: "Mom, let me help you."

After all, the National Higher Education Entrance Examination was over, and Ye Chen really wanted to spend more time with his mom.

The National Higher Education Entrance Examination is a watershed; after going to University and then working, the time spent with parents becomes less and less.

In his previous life, Ye Chen didn't understand this principle. Having lived a second life, Ye Chen naturally knew to cherish this time.

Ye Chen helped put the vegetables into the refrigerator.

Mother Ye looked at her son being so well-behaved and couldn't help but say, "Sigh, before I knew it, the child has grown up."

Ye Chen skillfully organized the vegetables, while Mother Ye washed the rice to cook.

"Mom, why did you buy so much garlic?"

While organizing, Ye Chen found that Mother Ye had bought a lot of garlic today.

Mother Ye said, "While buying groceries these past few days, I found that the price of garlic has gone up. It used to be forty cents, but now it's risen to sixty cents, so I'm stocking up a bit."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Ye Chen's mind.

He remembered this incident of garlic prices rising.

In his previous life, garlic didn't just rise by twenty cents; it rose much more.

The current price was just a small market fluctuation.

The real surge would happen in a few days.

Ye Chen remembered that in a few days, the national garlic production bases would be hit by a rainstorm, causing all the garlic in the bases to be soaked.

And that base stored 50% of the national garlic inventory.

The garlic in the base was basically all destroyed.

This led to a continuous rise in the price of garlic.

Moreover, Hua Country's share of garlic accounts for more than 70% of the world's total, and many countries rely on Hua Country's garlic exports.

Now, half of the reserves were soaked, which meant the global demand for garlic would become even more frantic.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up; he knew the opportunity to get rich had come.

"Futures."

"That's right, he can use this wave of garlic price increases to play the Futures market."

Ye Chen became excited instantly.

In his previous life, Ye Chen had played stocks, but he had never touched Futures.

Although stocks make money, they are far inferior compared to Futures.

Even those monster stocks that rose continuously couldn't compare to Futures in terms of profit.

Because Futures use the principle of leverage, even a hundredfold leverage. A tiny fluctuation in the market can generate high profits.

In his previous life, Ye Chen didn't dare touch them because high returns in Futures are accompanied by high risks.

If things go wrong, one could lose everything.

But the current Ye Chen had the memories of his previous life.

Ye Chen decided to make another fortune before going to University.

After investing in Shared Bikes, Ye Chen still had over ten million on hand.

Li Sitong also had over ten million, which meant there was twenty million in capital.

If they bought garlic Futures and used leverage, the savings of the two could easily exceed a hundred million.

However, although garlic was about to rise significantly, Ye Chen still had to be cautious.

After all, Ye Chen wasn't clear about exactly how much garlic rose in the end.

In his previous life, although he followed the news of the garlic surge, he didn't know the specific prices.

At that time, he was still worrying about which University to attend, so how could he have time to pay attention to the price of garlic?

However, Ye Chen remembered learning from a conversation with Mother Ye that a week later, the price of garlic had already risen to 1.8 yuan per catty.

Compared to the current price, it was already very expensive.

This was just the domestic price; the international price would certainly be even more expensive.

As long as he closed his position in a week, he could make a guaranteed profit.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't hold back!

Ye Chen had once set a small goal to strive for assets exceeding a hundred million by his freshman year.

It seemed he wouldn't need to wait until his freshman year; it could be achieved in a week.
