Chapter 428: Pressuring President Cao (Part 1)

After hearing Zhao Qingfeng talk about a twenty-fold increase, President Cao was stunned!

But that was an understatement.

After all, Moutai had skyrocketed from its initial price of 27 yuan to over 1700 in twenty years, achieving more than a fifty-fold increase.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu about to make a call, President Cao quickly grabbed him.

Wang Xiaohu was startled and then shrugged off his hand, “President Cao, do you need something?”

Yes!

President Cao first checked his own stocks.

As expected, his dream turned out to be the opposite; after dreaming of a surge, the market opened to a limit down today!

“Well…”

President Cao asked Wang Xiaohu to wait, then turned to Zhao Qingfeng with a smile, “Boss Zhao, what did you buy, and how is its performance today?”

Zhao Qingfeng hadn’t bought any stocks.

But.

He had previously advised Shen Kuo and his uncle to buy a lot of Moutai.

Could Shen Kuo not believe Zhao Qingfeng? He was his super son-in-law!

So, not only did he invest three hundred thousand, but he also added another million later.

From two months ago until now, it had increased by 1.5 times, turning a capital of 1.3 million into a profit of nearly 2 million. Zhao Qingfeng opened a computer to show the accounts of Shen Kuo and his uncle, “I bought too little, just under 3 million in profits from two accounts combined. But I’m not too optimistic about it recently, I might sell it in a few days. Instead, I’m interested in a few other promising sectors. President Cao, what did you buy?”

Talking about himself, President Cao was too embarrassed.

He felt like the jinx of the stock market, with stocks falling whenever he bought and rising whenever he sold.

With a sigh, “Ah, let’s not talk about it, I’m about to lose everything. What’s this about being greedy when others are fearful, and being fearful when others are greedy? Right now, I’m just losing a little while others go bankrupt, cutting losses daily, getting halved every month, I… I’m about ready to jump off a building!”

It seemed the smarter one was, the worse they did in the stock market.

Because they were obsessed with making timed trades, but ended up harming themselves.

Unlike those ‘honest people’ who just buy a few tens of thousands and leave it, possibly getting a big surprise a few years later without the constant worry.

President Cao rambled on with only one purpose, to ask Zhao Qingfeng if he could share the stocks he was planning to buy next. But this request was too difficult; who would easily share their good fortune with others?

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head, “That’s not possible, my information may be mysterious, but there’s still a risk of losing money. The stock market is risky, and investment should be cautious. If you spend a lot of money on stocks because of my advice and end up with nothing, even risking bankruptcy, won’t you come after me with a knife?”

President Cao was truly desperate.

Because Zhao Qingfeng and Wang Xiaohu were already heading out.

The two seemed so confident, with Wang Xiaohu continuously talking about their achievements in the past few months.

This made President Cao feel as if there were ten thousand ants crawling in his heart, closely following behind them. Once outside the hall, he wouldn’t let Zhao Qingfeng get into his car, insisting that he introduce a few stocks on the grounds that they were both friends of Li Jianjun.

“Boss Zhao, don’t worry, if we lose, it’s on me; if we win, I’ll share half with you!”

“No, no, that’s really not possible.”

“Boss Zhao, don’t decline anymore, I believe in you, I only believe in you! If you keep refusing, I’ll go to Li Jianjun! Or have Wang Yang plead for me, see if you can withstand that!”

“Well… ah… come on, President Cao, get in the car first, let’s find a place to eat and talk.”

As business magnates of the province, knowing Li Jianjun and Wang Yang was not surprising, though their relationships were not that close.

Arriving at the Shangri-La, Zhao Qingfeng had already completely taken control of the situation through small talk along the way.

At this point, President Cao was fully immersed in the wonderful fantasy spun by Zhao Qingfeng.

The hint of possibly achieving a 3-5 times increase in half a year itched him like a man who had been single for thirty years and never rewarded himself, seeing a naked beauty for the first time, eager to pounce on and never tire of it.

“But…”
