Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 450 - 215 Really Came to the Door_2

Han Lie nodded, showing understanding.

If a girl studying art possessed solid professional skills and also happened to be pretty, making money was indeed very easy.

Many art students genuinely lacked a strong motivation to make money. Consequently, the few motivated and capable pretty girls had always been a scarce resource.

We’re talking about making money legitimately here; I don’t understand the illegitimate ways.

But then again, beauty itself is rare, and when combined with other advantages, it can dominate in any field.

What surprised Han Lie wasn’t that Yue Xiu could earn money, but that she could save it.

Which young girl nowadays wasn’t extravagant with her spending?

"Not bad. With your capabilities, saving up for a down payment in seven years really isn’t difficult."

Han Lie sincerely complimented her, then adopted a more serious tone to offer advice.

"I wouldn’t recommend you get into stocks. It’s too hard for a layperson to understand this stuff. It’s like asking me to start learning piano now and reach the level of a Shangyin graduate within four years—it’s almost impossible."

"Mmm, I understand." Yue Xiu nodded obediently and then slowly shared her own understanding.

"Even among our Shangyin graduates, not everyone can make money through their professional skills. Many who don’t make much progress eventually have to change careers.

Professions that require a high level of expertise have always been like this. Different fields are worlds apart, yet there are still mountains to climb within the field itself. If you’re not up to par, you simply aren’t, and you can’t force it.

Experts like you, with top-level talent, are extremely rare in any field."

"Right?" Brother Lie felt very comfortable being flattered, and his smile deepened.

"However, the financial mindset is correct. You invest your spare cash piecemeal. While you might only earn 3% to 5% a year by calculation, it helps establish an awareness of how to manage capital. Simultaneously, it reduces unnecessary day-to-day spending.

After five or eight years, you’ll look back and think, ’Huh? Have I really saved up this much money?’

By then, you’ll be able to accomplish something significant, at least to some extent."

"Yes, that’s what I was thinking, but I didn’t know how to go about it, so I had to brazenly come and trouble you..."

Yue Xiu, the young lady, looked up at Han Lie, a hint of admiration flickering in the depths of her eyes, tinged with shyness and restraint.

Boy, oh boy, that truly was a top-tier beauty’s gambit!

Brother Lie was in an excellent mood and naturally offered his best advice.

"It’s a simple matter, hardly any trouble at all."

Han Lie waved his hand and casually said, "Based on your situation, I have two suggestions."

Yue Xiu’s eyes lit up. "Thank you!"

Han Lie paid her no mind and continued, "First, buy a Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) index fund. I’ll remind you when it’s time to sell.

Second, wait for IPOs to restart next year and become a professional IPO subscriber—don’t buy stocks, just subscribe to new listings.

If your subscription is successful, you usually make a good profit. If not, keep subscribing to the next one. When there are no suitable targets, you can buy 1- to 7-day treasury reverse repos for very stable profits."

"I’ll listen to you! You decide!" Yue Xiu replied decisively, without a shred of hesitation.

Moreover, after expressing her trust, she also showed a strong desire to learn.

"When you have time, could you explain the reasoning behind all this in detail for me?"

Well, now! This is new!

Han Lie felt like she had latched onto him, but it wasn’t an unpleasant sensation.

Yue Xiu was very tactful, beautiful, and carried herself with an air of elegance... She plays her cards so well!

"Alright, since I happen to have some time, let’s talk about it."

And talk they did, right up until the lunch break.

Yue Xiu simply freeloaded lunch at Zhongcheng again, sitting with Lü Shuli.

However, during the meal, she didn’t say much, reverting to her quiet and elegant demeanor, preventing President Zhao and the others from speculating further about her relationship with Han Lie.

Pretty good at looking after herself.

During the lunch break, Han Lie called Liang Wu, Lü Shuli, and Yue Xiu to play a round of poker together.

This time it was proper poker; they were playing Tractor, a game that had become popular from the north in the past two years.

It’s worth mentioning that university students playing poker in their dorms has nearly become a thing of the past. Those born after ’95 or ’00 probably haven’t experienced that kind of fervent atmosphere.

Around two in the afternoon, Jiao Fangyan successfully deployed all 300 million of her "bullets."

Han Lie glanced at the market. Wei Hua’s general trend wasn’t too different from what he had anticipated. However, because Jiao Fangyan hadn’t engaged in any deceptive tactics like fake bids or repeated order cancellations, she couldn’t control the cost. The overall price settled around 12.68.

Then, because she bought so much, the final large order acted almost like an igniter, and Wei Hua was pushed to its limit-up around 2:15 p.m.

"Not bad, nicely done."

Han Lie didn’t skimp on his praise, and Jiao Fangyan smiled, somewhat embarrassed.

"President Han, Wei Hua’s float is still too small. With us making such a big move... the phone calls should be coming soon, right?"

Wei Hua’s market cap was only about 150 to 160 billion. Today, Jiao Fangyan alone had poured in 300 million, contributing to a 2% turnover—it was quite a stir.

Never mind Xu Xiang, the head honcho orchestrating trades in this stock; even Chen Jinnan would likely be startled.

"Let them call!" Han Lie scoffed disdainfully, not taking it seriously at all.

Jiao Fangyan then asked, "So, what attitude should we adopt? I’m not really good at dealing with outsiders like this..."

"Let Old Zhao handle it. I can’t be bothered to deal with them."

"President Zhao?" Jiao Fangyan was taken aback. "Is he up to it?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Han Lie didn’t have much confidence either. Zhao Zhongshi was essentially a head steward. Even his most crucial skill, flattery, wasn’t particularly outstanding. Handling such matters seemed even more challenging for him.
