Rebirth in a Shura Field, but in an Abstract Version

036 Revelation from a Previous Life

Seeing his mother fall silent, Wang Zhe said sincerely, "It's all in my card. Mom, I promise you, this is the first and last time. The European Cup is over, and I've stopped. I promise I won't touch these things again and will focus on my studies."

Hearing her son's assurance, Liu Wei's attitude finally softened.

Looking at her son, who had suddenly grown so much, she felt a mix of emotions—worry and relief.

"You silly child..." Liu Wei sighed, reaching out to poke Wang Zhe's forehead, "You really can't gamble anymore!"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Wang Zhe said with a forced smile.

At this moment, Wang Yuanshan interjected, "Alright, alright, the child is just trying to save money for the family. Since our son is capable, that's a good thing. Wife, look at this money..."

Liu Wei was silent for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Wang Yuanshan.

Their years of marital understanding allowed them to reach a consensus instantly.

"Since you earned this money yourself, we won't confiscate it," Liu Wei said seriously. "However, we need to agree on three rules."

"Mom, please tell me."

"First, you can keep this 50,000 yuan as your own little savings. However, your father and I will still continue to pay for your tuition and basic living expenses at university. This is our responsibility as parents."

Wang Zhe felt a warmth in his heart.

"Secondly, although we provide living expenses, it's limited to basic food and drink. If you want to buy a computer, a new phone, or even... well, dating expenses, you'll have to pay for them yourself from this 50,000 yuan. Don't ask us for it."

Wang Zhe couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, no problem."

"Third, and most importantly," Liu Wei's expression turned serious, "that football betting—you're absolutely forbidden from touching it again! If I find out you're still gambling in college, I'll come straight to your school!"

"Don't worry, Mom, I swear."

However, the stock market, another type of legal casino, is a different story.

Back in his room, Wang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

He told his parents he had 50,000 yuan to put their minds at ease and to give himself some discretionary spending. As for the real amount, that was the money he'd been using in the stock market, and there was no need to reveal it for now.

"tomorrow……"

Wang Zhe lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

What will the stock market do tomorrow?

The next morning, Wang Zhe got up very early.

My parents have already gone to work, and there's breakfast left on the table: two steamed buns, a boiled egg, and a bowl of millet porridge.

After a quick breakfast, Wang Zhe went straight to his study.

This old desktop computer has been around for quite some time. When it's turned on, the fan roars like a tractor about to take off. The monitor is one of those bulky, old-fashioned CRT monitors, and the colors are slightly distorted.

Accompanied by the classic Windows XP startup music, the desktop finally loaded.

Wang Zhe skillfully opened the stock trading software.

Even though the current internet speed is only 4M broadband, it takes quite a while to open stock trading software.

Log in to your account and enter your password.

That string of numbers appeared in the funds account.

33 million.

This is almost all of his current net worth.

"Let's take a look at Gree first."

Wang Zhe clicked on his watchlist and selected Ge Li's candlestick chart.

Today, the market continued to hover languishing around 2000 points, with trading volume so low it made one want to sleep.

However, Gree Electric Appliances experienced an independent market trend.

As the benefits of the energy-saving subsidy policy continue to take effect, coupled with the upcoming summer peak season for air conditioner sales, Gree's stock price began to slowly climb after opening lower in the morning.

"It's 20.5 yuan now..."

Wang Zhe glanced at the cost price of his previous purchase, which was around 20.1.

Although the increase was not large, less than two percent, it was quite generous for such a large-cap stock in a bear market.

"Let's get a T (top)."

Without any hesitation, Wang Zhe placed a sell order for half of his position at a price of 20.55.

He also knew that large-cap stocks like these couldn't experience consecutive limit-up days in a bear market like speculative stocks. They would only rise slowly and inefficiently, taking three steps forward and two steps back.

This kind of trend is best suited for day trading.

The so-called "T+0 trading" refers to focusing on a single stock and buying low and selling high within a short period of time to reduce the cost of the stock and increase profits.

A few minutes later, the software indicated that the transaction had been completed.

Wang Zhe glanced at his account; his profit had increased by less than two thousand yuan.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

"If it could be this stable every day, that would be great," Wang Zhe said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Just as he was preparing to buy back the half he had sold at a low price, a small window suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

That was a news notification that came with the stock trading software.

[Breaking News! ST Jiarui announced that its asset restructuring has been approved, and it plans to change its name to "Wasu Media". Trading is expected to resume next week!]

These words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing through the fog of Wang Zhe's memory.

"ST Jiarui... Wasu Media..."

Wang Zhe's finger stopped on the mouse, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He remembered.

In his previous life, when he was a freshman in college, there was a guy in his dorm named Fang who started trading stocks as soon as he entered university.

During military training, everyone was marching and standing at attention, exhausted like dogs. Only this guy was full of enthusiasm every day. Whenever he had a break, he would go back to the dorm to check the latest news and brag to his friends while doing so.

"Brothers! See this stock? Wasu Media is going to make me rich!"

At that time, Wang Zhe didn't understand stocks and just thought it was like gambling.

But Lao Fang did make a small fortune later on.

During those few months of my freshman year, this stock soared from a few dollars to over ten dollars, and at its peak it seemed to have reached nearly 14 dollars!

Old Fang treated the whole dorm to a barbecue and a hot pot meal, which were Wang Zhe's two best meals during his first semester.

"Resuming sales next week..."

Wang Zhe clicked on the news article and read it carefully.

ST Jiarui, formerly known as Wasu Media, was suspended from listing due to continuous losses. Now, through asset restructuring and a backdoor listing, it has made a comeback with a new look.

According to the announcement, there will be no price fluctuation limit on the first day of resumption of trading.

Its opening reference price was the closing price before trading was suspended—5.38 yuan.

Wang Zhe's heart began to race.

Compared to stable but limited-growth blue-chip stocks like Gree Electric Appliances, Wasu Media is practically a money-making machine!

"What's the point of making a T-shirt with this?!"

Wang Zhe suddenly slapped his thigh.

His planned move to buy back Griffin at a low position was instantly canceled.

Immediately afterwards, he sold the remaining half of Gree Electric Appliances without hesitation.

Even if the price is slightly lower than before, and he earns a few hundred yuan less, he doesn't care at all.

Clearance sale!

We must clear out our inventory!

Although there are still a few days before Wasu Media resumes its listing, he needs to prepare his resources. Furthermore, he needs these few days to study the specific rules and whether there are any other opportunities he can utilize.

"33 in principal, plus the little profit I just made..."

Wang Zhe quickly did some mental calculations.

If you invest all your funds in Wasu Media, at a cost of 5.38, you would buy approximately 6 shares.

When it rises to 14 yuan, that's 84!

In just a few months, it more than doubled, which is a return of nearly 300%! That's faster than robbing a bank, and it's safe and legal!

The only problem is that this stock will definitely be very popular when the market opens. Will I be able to buy it then?

"call……"

Wang Zhe took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions.

He leaned back in his chair, listening to the somewhat noisy sound of the main unit's fan, and felt that it was the most beautiful symphony in the world.

"Brother, even though we've never met in this lifetime, this barbecue is on me."

Just then, the phone on the table vibrated.

Wang Zhe picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message from Jiang Di.

What are you busy with? It's so boring at Sister Song's house; she's always reading or taking tutoring classes. When are you coming over? I want to eat your cooking... and I miss you.

The last sentence, "I miss you," was followed by a shy emoji.

Upon seeing this message, Wang Zhe's ruthless and decisive aura in the capital market instantly dissipated by more than half.

He could almost see the girl lying on the table, aimlessly tapping her phone, her mind filled with thoughts of him.

"What's the point of making money? Isn't it just to live a more enjoyable life?"

Wang Zhe smiled and replied, "I already said I'd go this afternoon. What do you want to eat? We can buy groceries on the way."

The reply came instantly: "I want cola chicken wings! And braised pork!"

Then, less than ten seconds later, another message came:

No, anything you make is fine!
