Chapter 17: Chapter 17 If You Lose Money, Come Find Me
"I don't need your advice, if I lose, it's on me!"
Song Yun left just enough money for food, sinking all his remaining funds into this fund. A week later, his assets would triple!
"You stubborn kid, you never listen!" The asset manager sighed. This young man somehow got hold of some information and started blindly buying into funds. With the current market being so volatile, there are many who are losing money.
Forget it, it's hard to persuade a destined loser. The asset manager took him to the fund service desk, having no more interest in following up with this minnow.
Sitting down, a young, beautiful woman dressed in business attire came over with a glass of water, placing it on the table in front of Song Yun. She asked warmly, "Hello sir, what service do you require today?"
The woman's face bore the bank's characteristic smile, which seemed lacking in enthusiasm but was never cold.
"I want to buy a fund," Song Yun said indifferently.
"Would you like me to recommend a few funds? There are several that have recently shot up significantly, and I'm very bullish about these quality stocks in the coming month."
"No need, just put it all into the Jinling Fund."
"Alright, I'll take care of it."
The woman bent down to begin processing. Meanwhile, the other customers inside the fund service area began to look over at Song Yun, their faces showing growing confusion.
The Jinling Fund?
This fund seemed unfamiliar, did it really exist?
For those involved in fund purchasing, the popular funds were always the same few. Only youngins like Song Yun dared to invest in the more obscure ones, and if he started to lose money, he might very well lose his pants too.
After finishing the procedures, the woman asked Song Yun, "How much would you like to purchase, sir?"
"Let's start with fifty million!"
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent.
Even the woman's smile slowly turned into a fawning one.
"Sir! You are saying you want to buy fifty million of the Jinling Fund? Are you sure you didn't misspeak?"
Watching the woman's astonished expression, Song Yun waved his hand and said, "Fifty million in the Jinling Fund, I'll pay with my card now!"
The woman was seeing for the first time someone who didn't ask and just made a purchase, and also someone willing to spend a large sum on a single fund. It looked like the young man in front of her was a rich second generation!
After everything was handled, Song Yun left the bank. The asset manager went into the fund service area and asked, "How much did that young man buy just now?"
"Five... fifty million!" The woman was still in shock, her eyes glued to the series of zeros following the 5 on the screen.
"How much? Fifty million!" The asset manager could have never imagined that an average-looking person could be so terrifying, possessing such substantial assets. The thought of the high commission after completing the transaction made his heart ache so much he squatted down on the ground.
Dammit, it was all because he judged a book by its cover!
After leaving the bank, Song Yun realized he was so busy going to the bank that he hadn't even washed up.
He rushed back home and dived into the bathroom to start his morning routine.
"Ding-a-ling~"
"Ding-a-ling~"
Song Yun didn't see who it was and slid the phone to answer.
"Hello, who's this?" he asked unclearly with a toothbrush in his mouth.
"It's me! Your brother Jia Xin!"
The caller was Song Yun's college roommate, named Jia Xin, and their relationship during college was really close.
After making small talk for a while, Song Yun turned off the water, wrapped himself in a towel, and stepped out of the bathroom, casually opening a bottle of water and gulping it down.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Xin, aren't you into fund management now? I just bought into a fund today, too."
"Oh? You little rascal are actually interested in this stuff now? What did you buy?" Jia Xin asked curiously, because he didn't know that Song Yun had broken up with Su Luting, and in his mind, Song Yun's money always went to supporting the Su family, leaving no spare cash for other investments.
"Jinling Fund."
"???"
Noises of rummaging came through the phone, followed by Jia Xin's voice: "Wait a moment, let me check!"
There was silence on the phone for a moment, then Jia Xin's exaggerated voice boomed: "Bro! You're truly my blood brother! Out of all the popular funds, you just had to go for the obscure one! Are you afraid you're not losing enough money? Tell me, who advised you to buy that? They're a big scam artist!"
"Song Yun, I'm not trying to discourage you, but even I can't deduce the current capital market trends, so how could you dare to enter the game so lightly? Tell me, how much did you buy?"
Song Yun rubbed his ears, nearly deafened by Jia Xin's shouting.
"I bought fifty million worth."
"..."
"Damn, damn, damn! Fifty million! Did you kid rob a mint?!"
Jia Xin yelled excitedly.
After his excitement subsided, he quickly grabbed the handset and bellowed, "Quick! Listen to your brother Xin! Dump that Jinling Fund right now! Those people are just scamming your money! If you want to invest, I'll recommend some good funds to you for free!"
"Dump it?"
There was no way he could dump it, not this week or any time soon—he was counting on it to strike it rich.
Besides, the returns from those 'excellent funds' were at most around 13%, whereas the one he bought into? 300% return!
If he actually dumped it, then Song Yun would be the real fool.
"Come on! Just listen to your brother for once! I'm begging you! If you dump it now, you won't lose much! If you keep holding it, your fifty million will be completely gone!"
Jia Xin patiently tried to persuade him. He had been messing with funds since college, and he knew the tricks of the trade all too well—one wrong move and you could be swallowed whole, not a scrap left!
However, Jia Xin was also deeply shocked inside—he had no idea that Song Yun had made such a fortune in the few years since graduation, amassing fifty million, while he, working in finance, only had a few hundred thousand in his pocket.
"Hehe, thanks for the offer, Brother Xin, but I'd advise you to get in on it too, this fund is definitely going to rise!"
After Song Yun said this, Jia Xin was silent for a long time.
Was his brother bewitched? Not only was he buying in, but he was also trying to drag him down to lose money together.
Jia Xin sighed and started from the beginning: "I don't have the capital you do, can't afford it, can't afford it..."
Song Yun didn't insist, he had already told him it would rise, and if he didn't believe it, so be it.
Then Jia Xin continued: "Brother, I may not be capable of much, but at least I have some savings. If you ever find yourself without money for food one day, just come to your brother—I definitely won't let you starve..."
"Alright."
Song Yun replied with a smile, although that situation was unlikely, it was still comforting to hear someone express their concern for him.
Days flew by.
In those days, Song Yun signed in for two Dream Cards and eight million in cash.
This day, he arrived at Magic Capital's largest private hospital, originally hoping to sign in for a healthy body, but what the system said next made him ecstatic!
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully signing in at Magic Capital Huachuang Hospital, acquiring ownership of the entire hospital!"
