Chapter 109: Our Company Is About to Double
Ye Chen took the money.
He accepted the money with a clear conscience.
After all, if it weren't him, how could the other side possibly earn one million?
Li Sitong laughed and said, "Ye Chen, what exactly is our second investment?"
"Next, I plan to purchase shares of Tiancheng Real Estate Co., Ltd."
This investment plan was the investment information the system gave him.
Soon, Tiancheng Real Estate will buy a plot of land, and that land will cause its market value to surge from 5 billion M Gold to 10 billion M Gold within two weeks.
In Ye Chen's memory, the reason Tiancheng's assets skyrocketed was that they had recently snapped up a piece of land that wasn't highly regarded.
After the land was acquired, the authorities announced the rerouting of Metro Line 2.
The plot happened to lie on the new line, which doubled Tiancheng Real Estate's market value in just two weeks.
"Ah, Tiancheng Real Estate?"
Li Sitong was stunned.
Isn't that Dad's real‑estate company?
And the chairman of Tiancheng is Li Li.
Ye Chen continued, "If nothing goes wrong, three days from now Tiancheng's market value will start soaring, doubling within two weeks. That means if we buy Tiancheng's stock now, our profit will double."
Although Tiancheng's value will keep rising later, the speed will be too slow for Ye Chen's taste.
So when the value doubles, Ye Chen will sell the stock and move on to a new investment.
"Old Li's company will double in value—how could I not know?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Li Sitong muttered softly.
"No, I have to ask Old Li tomorrow if the company is planning any big moves."
Li Sitong thought to herself.
"Si Tong, are you listening?" Ye Chen asked curiously when the other side fell silent.
"Mm‑mm, I'm listening."
"Then when do you plan to buy Tiancheng's stock?" Li Sitong asked.
"I'll buy as soon as the market opens tomorrow, so just transfer all your money into my account and I'll purchase it directly." Ye Chen said.
"Okay, I'll transfer my money to you first thing tomorrow morning."
As for why it's tomorrow, Li Sitong had her own motives.
Although Li Sitong had told Old Li that Ye Chen helped him profit from stock trading, she had never mentioned the money earned from bitcoin.
She wanted to show off to her dad.
"Alright, it's getting late, we have class tomorrow, get some rest. By the way, want to have breakfast together tomorrow morning?" Ye Chen asked.
"Tomorrow I'll have breakfast at home, so I won't join you. Sorry!" Li Sitong replied.
"Fine, see you tomorrow." Ye Chen hung up.
Li Sitong planned to brag to her father about her earnings first thing in the morning and probe whether his company had any major moves.
The next morning, after freshening up, Li Sitong headed downstairs.
In the living room, Li Li had already prepared breakfast.
Li Sitong usually ate out, but today she made an exception and enjoyed the carefully prepared breakfast.
Chicken porridge, egg pancakes, fried dough sticks, and buns—each made in one variety.
"Dad, how can I possibly eat all this breakfast?"
Li Li laughed, "I didn't know what you wanted today, so I made a little of everything. You can choose what to eat."
Hearing her dad's words warmed Li Sitong's heart slightly.
Li Sitong came to the table and sat down for breakfast.
Although her dad's breakfast was delicious, Li Sitong still preferred eating with Ye Chen.
Li Li sat opposite his daughter, eating together.
"How's your studying going?" Li Li asked.
"Not bad, I ranked third in the Whole School Mock Exam."
Li Li nodded approvingly, "Hmm, good, keep it up."
"By the way, how's your Hot Pot Restaurant doing?" Li Li asked.
"It's booming; we made over twenty‑thousand yuan yesterday alone."
Li Li was taken aback, "That's impressive."
The Hot Pot industry is extremely competitive now.
Making twenty‑thousand a day is already impressive.
Li Sitong boasted, "That's nothing, your daughter's other investments are also earning money!"
She handed her phone to her dad.
Li Li stared at the balance on Li Sitong's phone in shock.
The allowance he gave her was just over one million, and now it had risen to over eight million.
Li Li said, stunned, "All of that came from Ye Chen?"
Li Sitong nodded, "Yes, I split the profit with Ye Chen, so we actually earned sixteen million."
"What?" Li Li was completely shocked.
The last time Li Sitong told him Ye Chen helped her earn one million, that was believable.
A stock can double if luck is on your side.
But jumping seven or eight times is terrifying.
"How did you make this money?" Li Li asked, unable to sit still.
one million cost, and a month later they made sixteen million.
That's absurd.
Even though Li Li is experienced, he felt uneasy hearing this.
Li Sitong smiled, "Have you heard of bitcoin?"
Li Li was puzzled, "What's bitcoin?"
Li Sitong explained, "bitcoin is a virtual currency. Ye Chen got insider info, and we easily earned sixteen million. As a reward we split the profit, each getting over eight million."
Li Sitong recounted the whole story to Li Li.
Li Li listened, feeling shocked.
Regarding Ye Chen, he felt an even deeper sense of mystery.
Li Sitong said proudly, "Ye Chen is amazing, right?"
Li Li nodded, "Indeed. By the way, you two aren't that close, are you?"
"No, we're just desk mates."
Li Li replied, "Just desk mates, yet you'd let a classmate invest a million?"
Li Sitong said, "A million is small change to you, and I trust Ye Chen."
Seeing Li Sitong's proud expression about Ye Chen, Li Li felt as if his family's cabbage had been trampled.
Li Sitong added, "By the way, I heard our company's market value is about to increase dramatically—does that happen?"
Li Li was stunned, looking at his daughter with a strange expression.
"Our company's value is rising? How could I, the chairman, not know? Where did you get this info?"
"You don't know either? That's odd."
Hearing Li Li's tone, Li Sitong was also taken aback.
Even the chairman dad doesn't know—how does Ye Chen know?"
Could Ye Chen be guessing?
Impossible, Ye Chen is always steady in his actions.
He wouldn't invest blindly without confidence.
Since he dared to say the chairman's company would double, his previous two operations suggest a very high accuracy.
Li Sitong placed unwavering faith in Ye Chen's judgment.
