Chapter 82: A Natural Investment Genius

Lin Bai looked at Luo Yang’s pitiful expression and comforted him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“Next time, I’ll definitely bring you along to make money next time.”
Luo Yang immediately beamed with joy.
“You said it, you can’t go back on your word.”
“I won’t. When have I ever gone back on my word?”
Lin Bai chatted casually with Luo Yang, but his hands weren’t idle.
He estimated that Pfizer’s stock price should have already risen to the highest point, so he quickly sold them all.
After a series of operations, he earned a net profit of 2.5 billion yuan.
However, the final price of the Mayan prophecy tablet was 3 billion, so he was still short of 500 million.
If he could get back the 500 million that he had lent to Yu Jianhao, it would be just enough.
However, the problem was that when he lent the money to Yu Jianhao, Lin Bai had not expected such things to happen, so he gave a vague deadline by which Yu Jianhao had to repay the loan. He only said that he would return it within a month.
It had only been half a month, so urging him to return the money was a little unkind.
However, if he did not urge Yu Jianhao to return the money, Lin Bai would have to earn another 500 million in the remaining day or so.
Just as he was pondering about it, he suddenly received a text message from the bank, which notified him that his balance had changed.
The amount transferred to him was exactly 500 million, neither too much nor too little.
Yu Jianhao had taken the initiative to return the money.
The balance in Lin Bai’s account had become 3.005 billion yuan. Now, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to bid for the Mayan prophecy tablet.
The problem that had troubled him previously disappeared in an instant.
Lin Bai couldn’t help but think to himself, “It seems that my luck has been pretty good recently. What I lack comes back to me.”
Yu Jianhao sent a bunch of thank-you messages to Mr. A in the letter.
Then, he changed the topic and started to ask if Mr. A was trading stocks.
He had already heard from his friend that Pfizer group’s stock price had skyrocketed.
Therefore, he really wanted to confirm whether the young man who bought Pfizer Group with 100 times the leverage was Mr. A.
Lin Bai made a guess and understood why Yu Jianhao would ask about it.
Therefore, he didn’t hide it and directly admitted it as Mr. A.
“I didn’t really invest in stocks in the past, but recently, I found that Pfizer group has a lot of potential so I bought some of their stocks.”
On the other side of Dragon City, Yu Jianhao was holding his phone in excitement.
“Oh my God! It’s really his doing!”
“That’s what I’m talking about. This style of doing things is obviously very much like Mr. A!”
“100 times leverage, an investment of more than 500 million, and he’s actually taking it so lightly. Mr. A is really not simple!”
Yu Jianhao was as excited as if he had guessed the jackpot.
Yu Jinmo asked doubtfully, “Dad, what are you talking about? What’s up with Mr. A?”
Yu Jianhao briefly told Yu Jinmo about how Mr. A had bought Pfizer group’s shares with a 100x leverage. At the same time, he also taught Yu Jinmo what leverage was.
After Yu Jinmo heard this, he also sighed, “Mr. A is indeed bold. With such a large investment, an ordinary person would not dare to take such a gamble.”
Yu Jianhao sighed, “That’s right. That’s why he was able to make so much money. It’s because he had the courage to take risks that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to take.”
Then, he used an inquisitive tone to ask Mr. A for advice in the letter. What exactly did he use to judge Pfizer group’s potential?
After all, he had already received the news and immediately looked at Pfizer group’s stock price for the past year. He really couldn’t see the potential for it to soar.
If Pfizer had not been the first to develop a new coronavirus vaccine at this time of the global pandemic, its stock price would not have risen.
However, the problem was that Pfizer was not the only pharmaceutical company that had developed a coronavirus vaccine.
‘How could Mr. A be sure that Pfizer was the first to develop it?’
‘Could it be that he had insider information and knew about it before the news was released?’
Yu Jianhao’s heart was full of questions as he waited for Mr. A to answer them.
Of course, Lin Bai couldn’t tell him that he had actually known that Pfizer would release the news through the Future News app.
Therefore, he could only use another reason to answer Yu Jianhao’s questions.
“Given the severity of the epidemic, the whole world is looking forward to the emergence of a new coronavirus vaccine.”
“No matter which company, as long as they are the first to develop a new coronavirus vaccine, their stock price will definitely soar.”
“Currently, there are only a few pharmaceutical companies in the world that have the ability to develop a vaccine.”
“I did a thorough investigation and found that Pfizer is the company with the strongest comprehensive capability and the most likely to be the first to develop a vaccine, so I bought their stock.”
“I was actually just taking a gamble, but I just happened to be right.”
Yu Jianhao was convinced by what he saw.
“Mr. A, thank you for your patience. I finally know where I’m lacking.”
“I don’t have the keen insight that you do and I lack the patience and effort to carefully study potential opportunities.”
“Nor do I dare to make up my mind and invest as decisively as you.”
“I can’t compare with you in terms of vision, judgment, courage, and boldness. Therefore, I’m destined to never have the same achievements as you in my life.”
“Thank you for letting me understand this. I’ve really benefited a lot.”
This was the first time Yu Jianhao admired someone so much.
When he thought of how Mr. A was only in his twenties, his admiration grew stronger.
“The younger generation is really formidable. He’s still so young, but his foresight, methods, and boldness far surpass mine. I wonder how far he’ll grow when he has more experience in the future.”
Yu Jianhao muttered to himself and sighed.
“Fortunately, I was born a few decades earlier. Otherwise, if I were the same age as him and competed in the business world together, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the chance to stand out in my lifetime.”
This was the first time Yu Jinmo heard her father say such a thing.
She asked, “Dad, is Mr. A really as powerful as you say?”
Yu Jianhao shook his head.
“No, he’s far beyond that.”
Up until now, the communication between him and Mr. A had been limited to private messages on WeChat, and they had never met face-to-face in reality.
The information that words could convey was limited.
Moreover, he did not know Mr. A very well, so it was difficult for him to judge whether Mr. A had any achievements that he did not know about.
Therefore, Yu Jianhao felt that the real Mr. A was far more powerful than he had judged.
Yu Jinmo said in surprise, “If that’s the case, Mr. A is simply an investment genius!”
“Yes, a natural investment genius.”
Yu Jianhao suddenly changed the topic, “Oh right, when we meet next time, remember to tell Lin Bai that he must maintain a good relationship with Mr. A.”
“Mr. A’s future achievements are absolutely limitless.. If Lin Bai can maintain a good relationship with him, he will be of huge help in the business world in the future.”
