I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!-Chapter 45 - Feeling Like You’re Picking Up Money_1

That’s the literacy of a top second-generation rich kid.

“Oh, what’s going on?” Li Kaiyao asked, confused.

“It’s better if Mr.

Wan explains it,” Zhou Chengyu said.

“Mr.

Li, you’re unaware that the Lighthouse Country Federal Reserve recently cut interest rates significantly, causing gold prices to soar.

You don’t follow financial news, so you probably don’t know about that,”

“But you must be aware of the nationwide avian flu outbreak, which predictably caused egg prices to rise.

Egg futures went crazy climbing, and anyone who bought into these two types of futures has made a fortune,”

explained Wan Pengfei.

“I see,” Li Kaiyao suddenly understood.

Now, he finally grasped why Shen Dong could make so much money in the futures market.

“Mr.

Shen, how much did you make on these two types of futures?” Zhou Chengyu asked with curiosity, then quickly added, “Of course, if you think it’s inappropriate, you don’t have to say.

I’m just a bit curious.”

Shen Dong smiled slightly, “There’s nothing inappropriate.

I made just over sixty million.”

“Holy shit!

Over sixty million!” Wan Pengfei exclaimed again, showing none of the demeanor expected from a car dealership owner.

If you consider that he’s the owner of a car dealership, someone making over sixty million shouldn’t surprise him this much.

But the fact that the sixty million was earned from the futures market was indeed shocking to him.

He was well aware of how risky futures are.

High risk, high return is the perfect interpretation of futures.

For Shen Dong to make so much was no small feat.

“Making over sixty million from the futures market is indeed impressive,” admitted Zhou Chengyu, also shocked, just less obviously so than Wan Pengfei.

“Shen Dong, if I may ask weakly, how much did you invest?” Wan Pengfei inquired.

“A total of three million,” Shen Dong said.

“What!” Wan Pengfei and Zhou Chengyu were shocked once more.

Three million to over sixty million, that’s more than twenty times the original investment.

And all this was earned in just over half a month; such earnings speed was simply unmatched.

Shen Dong was definitely an expert; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to earn so much.

If it were said, capturing the rise in gold futures could be attributed to luck.

But to also capture egg futures, it couldn’t be simply chalked up to luck.

In the futures market, it’s not unheard of to make a fortune by luck once.

But to strike it rich through luck consecutively is quite unrealistic.

Anyhow, they had never heard of anyone in the futures market who could keep making money on luck alone.

“It seems you’re quite the expert,” Wan Pengfei exclaimed.

“I must ask you for advice someday, I hope to earn back the money I’ve lost in the futures market.”

“I need to ask for Mr.

Shen’s advice too, I’ve lost tens of millions in the futures market, and I’ve stopped playing.

With Mr.

Shen’s guidance, perhaps I could earn it back,” Li Kaiyao followed up.

“Advice would be too formal a word, let’s just exchange ideas when we have the chance,” Shen Dong modestly replied.

“By the way, Shen Dong, you just mentioned that you picked up two big bargains at the antique market.

What happened?” Wan Pengfei asked again.

“There was an antiques appraisal event held by the An City TV Station a while ago, did you all know about that?” Shen Dong didn’t answer directly but instead asked a question.

“I didn’t know about it initially, but then the antiques appraisal event made a stir online, and I checked it out,” Wan Pengfei said matter-of-factly, then his expression suddenly changed, “Holy shit, don’t tell me the guy who bought ‘The Beacon Fire Map’ for 500,000 was you?”

Shen Dong smiled and nodded: “You guessed it, that was me.”

Wan Pengfei exclaimed again: “Holy shit, your luck is just too good!”

“Mr.

Wan, I’d say you better not mention luck,” Zhou Chengyu shook his head and said, “Do you think it was just luck for Mr.

Shen to spend 500,000 on a painting?”

“What’s more, that painting had been appraised as a fake by the experts.

I can say with certainty that Mr.

Shen must have seen that the painting was authentic to buy it.”

Speaking of this, he looked toward Shen Dong: “Mr.

Shen, I’m not wrong, am I?”

Shen Dong neither confirmed nor denied, modestly saying, “At that time, I felt it should be genuine, so I bought it.

I just took a gamble.

After all, I had made some money in the futures market and felt that losing 500,000 wouldn’t be a big deal.

Later, when I sent it to Jiecheng Auction for appraisal, it indeed turned out to be authentic, and I made a profit.”

Wan Pengfei pressed further: “You mentioned two big bargains, what about the other one?”

Shen Dong briefly summarized how he found another bargain in Hai City’s antique street.

“Holy shit, that’s another 17 million in the bank.

It feels like you’re just picking up money!” Wan Pengfei let out another shocked cry.

Just taking a stroll down antique street, spending a few thousand on an inkstone and earning 17 million, many collectors in the antique world would be green with envy.

“Mr.

Shen, I bought a vase at antique street yesterday, and I’m not sure if it’s authentic.

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

Would you mind helping me appraise it?” Zhou Chengyu asked.

Shen Dong’s ability to make such finds consecutively indicated an eye for detail that surely surpassed many master appraisers.

He had bought a vase the day before and was not certain of its authenticity.

This could be a good opportunity to have Shen Dong appraise it.

“If Mr.

Zhou is willing to trust me, of course there’s no problem,” Shen Dong replied.

With appraisal master skills, Shen Dong wasn’t afraid of being unable to distinguish the authenticity of antiques.

He couldn’t just determine authenticity but could also know the basic information about the antiques.

“You’ve made two big finds consecutively, not just anyone can do that.”

“I bet your antique appraisal ability surpasses many master appraisers, if I can’t trust you, then who can I?”

“Just wait a moment, I have the vase in my car, I’ll have someone bring it over.”

Having said that, Zhou Chengyu got up, stepped outside, and spoke to his bodyguard.

Soon, the bodyguard brought in a vase, placed it on a side table, and then stepped out.

“I bought this yesterday at antique street.

I was planning to pick up my car today and find a master appraiser to check it this afternoon.

But since Mr.

Shen is an expert in this field, I’d like to ask him to take a look,” Zhou Chengyu gestured with his hand.

“Alright, let me take a look,” Shen Dong nodded and got up to walk over.

The others quickly followed behind.

“Many items on antique street are high-quality fakes; only someone like Shen Dong would have the chance to find a real bargain,” Wan Pengfei said.

“Mr.

Zhou, I think there’s a nine out of ten chance that what you bought is a replica.”

Zhou Chengyu laughed unconcernedly: “This thing only cost me 200,000.

I enjoy the process, and if it’s fake, no big deal, I’ll just consider the money thrown into the water.”

Only a top-tier rich second generation like him could say such a thing.
