My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 188 Chen Yan is Really Awesome!
Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Chen Yan is Really Awesome!
Unlocking her phone, Yang Nuan Nuan stared at the screen and was momentarily stunned.
"Which stock was it again?"
She couldn’t quite remember.
After all, she had only glanced at it casually, and several days had passed since then. Her memory of it wasn’t very clear.
"Something... something Industrial?"
"Um... let’s start by looking in the industrial sector. I should recognize the name when I see it."
With that thought, Yang Nuan Nuan hesitated before opening Tencent Securities.
As soon as the website loaded, Yang Nuan Nuan paused then murmured to herself, "Looks like... there’s no need to look further."
Because the first stock news that caught her eye was [Dema Industry’s fifth consecutive rise, becoming the leader of this A-share rally].
Yang Nuan Nuan clicked on it and took a closer look.
She found that the news article meticulously recorded the recent trends of Dema Industry.
Starting from an initial laboratory explosion, there were rumors that Dema Industry’s development of a key technology had failed, leading to a major fall in their stock. Then, three days later, close to market close, Dema Industry held a press conference to clarify these rumors, and they also announced that their technology had been successfully developed before the explosion.
Once this technology was implemented, it would significantly reduce their operating costs and increase their competitiveness with upstream and downstream enterprises.
Further on, a series of detailed terminologies explained the critical aspects of this technology.
And it was noted that with this technology, Dema Industry is likely to undergo rapid development, and the capital market was also set to take a sharp turn, looking favorably upon its future prospects.
Under the lead of Dema Industry, the entire industrial stock sector, including enterprises upstream and downstream of Dema Industry, all benefited and surged.
Various brokers also adjusted Dema Industry’s target price the next day, setting it to more than three times the lowest price during the downturn.
It was estimated that this stock would at least face five or six more days of surge. freёwebnoѵel.com
Seeing the entire news report, Yang Nuan Nuan was somewhat dumbfounded.
Was this really the case?
Was Chen Yan’s foresight really this precise?
Could he really have seen the opportunity amidst this crisis early on?
And gambled correctly on this wave?
To ensure that her memory wasn’t playing tricks on her, Yang Nuan Nuan re-entered the stock code for Dema Industry and checked the stock’s performance on the days in question, matching it with what she had seen that day.
Then... she was completely speechless.
It was true.
Even more so, because Yang Rou had messaged Yang Nuan Nuan to bring documents that day, she dug up the chat logs to check the exact time she saw that stock.
And then she realized that Chen Yan might have bought it during the downturn.
Yang Nuan Nuan pulled out a calculator and did some quick math. On that day alone, Chen Yan’s stock had soared by 19.98%, and by 10.02% the next day, with approximately 10% on the third and fourth days.
So just over these few days of surge, Chen Yan had made a 60% profit!
Yang Nuan Nuan suddenly understood where the money to start his company was coming from.
With this rate of making money, not to mention starting a new film company, he could even start ten!
Slowly turning off her phone screen, Yang Nuan Nuan sat quietly in her chair, her mind swirling with the shock of the day’s revelations.
"Turning the tide," "big players joining," "surpassing standard issuance," "buying at the downturn," "earning 60% in five days."
Yang Nuan Nuan felt her impression of Chen Yan was completely renewed...
He truly was a remarkable person!
It seemed she really couldn’t judge people as well as her mother could.
To think she had doubted him before...
...
Meanwhile, in Lu Man’s room, Lu Man was excitedly talking with Sister Mei Li.
Dressed in a simple white T-shirt and only underwear beneath, her long, fair legs crossed on the chair, she looked both homely and enticing.
Her face was filled with excitement as she happily said to Sister Mei Li, "Sis! Did you see? Chen Yan was so amazing today!"
Sister Mei Li smiled and nodded, about to humor her with a response.
But Lu Man seemed not to need her feedback at all, continuing on her own, "At that moment, the whole office was doubting if Chen Yan had tied up with a shell company!"
"They doubted that Chen Yan had been deceived!"
"But then! In a twist, an industry big shot appeared on the scene, telling everyone that he had been recruited by Chen Yan! Wow!"
Lu Man exclaimed excitedly, her cute feet still swinging.
Watching her child-like demeanor, Sister Mei Li laughed and couldn’t help but say, "You shouldn’t completely remove yourself from that situation. You were doubting him too at the time."
Lu Man turned her head toward her and huffed, saying, "I didn’t doubt him. I believed in him from start to finish."
"I was... just reminding him, to be careful."
Sister Mei Li gave in, saying, "Alright, madam, whatever you say."
Lu Man then continued animatedly describing Chen Yan’s glorious moment that afternoon.
Even though Chen Yan hadn’t lit up the "Shining Firefly" today, in her heart, he still seemed to shine bright!
That mild self-confidence radiating from within, that unflappable composure even as mountains crumbled before him, made her heart race and breath come short!
She felt like she was falling in love. Or rather, falling even deeper in love...
It was just like a domineering CEO had stepped right out of a novel into the real world!
...
That evening, after dinner with his two main associates in the film industry, Chen Yan called a driver to send the two back, then strolled home by himself.
"Lost Love in 23 Days" had moved from planning to production, and then to distribution; all was set, the only thing left was to wait for the premiere.
With the reviews on the "Instant Film," Chen Yan believed the movie would easily make over 500 million. At that point, the two companies would share 30% of the profits, which would be around 3 billion. Adding in, the villa he planned to gift to Lu Man, he could see about 2 billion in returns.
This movie should ultimately bring in around 5 billion for him.
And the cost was merely a modest 25 million for production, and even if promotional and other assorted costs were added, it wouldn’t exceed 70 million.
So... would his wealth soon surpass 5 billion?
And all this within less than a year of getting into this game.
For a moment, Chen Yan felt it was all like a dream.
It seemed, he really could start to aim higher with his dreams?
Maybe... become the richest man on Qin Island first?
But, his game couldn’t be neglected.
After all, what’s the fun in just making money? One must find something of interest to do.
Otherwise, just earning money is boring.
With these thoughts, Chen Yan checked the time, tomorrow was the end of the month, and the day after would mark the start of a new month, when happiness points would refresh, and the shop would update as well.
Based on the past few months’ experience, it would definitely include the "Instant Camera Film" from Xiao Ha.
Then, he could gauge the potential of this game and adjust his plans accordingly.
Using the "Instant Film" and constantly tweaking "Lost Love in 23 Days" to its optimum state had given Chen Yan an epiphany.
Maybe, in the future, he could also use this to aid his game development.
Then, every game he produced, he believed, would be a masterpiece and a big hit!

...
Late at night, while Chen Yan and the others were asleep.
In Tiandu, the light was still on in the office of the general manager of the Xu Brothers Group.
Director Zhang, Xu Zhaoqing, and another man who looked somewhat similar to Xu Zhaoqing, sitting in the main seat, were chatting.
Director Zhang furrowed his brows, "Really didn’t expect Song Chuang to defect to Lu Man’s side."
"With his status, experience, and connections, he ought to be seeking capital’s favor, start his own business, aiming to become the capital himself. Why work for someone else?"
Xu Zhaoqing nodded, "Right. I also find it hard to understand."
"Now that he has teamed up with Yang Rou, things are quite troublesome."
Director Zhang gave him a look and asked, "So we just stand by and watch?"
"Can we go talk to the theaters?"
Xu Zhaoqing slowly shook his head, "Can’t talk. Song Chuang isn’t like Yang Rou. His connections and personal networks are there. Our influence might not be very effective."
"Moreover, Song Chuang is comprehensive in his actions. If he dares to announce it, he’s probably already signed a contract."
"The theaters and platforms won’t likely breach their contracts just for us."
Director Zhang fell silent.
After a while, he turned to the man in the main seat and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what do you think?"
The man in the main seat had been silent the entire time, just quietly smoking and listening to the other two speak.
Hearing Director Zhang’s question, he slowly extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray.
Then he said, "Actually, this matter is not difficult to understand, nor is it difficult to solve..."
