Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 930

In her opinion, this is by no means a small amount of money, enough to buy multiple properties in Hong Kong or to set up a large-scale factory.

Most investors, faced with such a huge investment, would often hesitate and look back, but He Yuzhu showed extraordinary courage, which was truly impressive.

Facing Li Yunzhen's surprise, He Yuzhu remained composed, his lips curled up slightly in a relaxed smile. He replied in a soothing and confident tone, "It's no big deal. I've recently spotted a few investment opportunities and have some spare cash, so I thought I'd try my luck. I'm also planning to invest in a company with great potential. It has a novel business model and broad market prospects. I've always had complete confidence in my judgment and firmly believe that this investment will yield a good return."

He Yuzhu's eyes were deep, and he was not in a hurry to reveal the reason.

He knew clearly in his mind that all future stock transactions would be handled through Li Yunzhen's company, and she would find out about this sooner or later.

After a moment's silence, he said slowly, his expression serious and his tone earnest, "Ms. Li, I'll be relying on your company for many matters in the future. I hope you can help me keep this secret. Investment decisions are like sailing on a turbulent sea. The slightest mistake can stir up a storm. Greater confidentiality will help us avoid unnecessary fluctuations and sail smoothly towards the desired destination."

A hint of understanding flashed in Li Yunzhen's eyes, and she obviously understood the deep meaning of He Yuzhu's words.

Her expression straightened, she nodded solemnly, and responded earnestly, "Mr. He, please rest assured. Our company has always considered client privacy a top priority, and the relevant confidentiality mechanisms are extremely comprehensive. Numerous past cooperation cases have proven that we have never made any mistakes in information confidentiality, and this time we will be absolutely sure to ensure that this information will not be leaked. You can rest assured."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and called the secretary who had just brought in the tea and was waiting not far away.

"Mr. He, this is my secretary, Chen Jiapei." Li Yunzhen stepped aside and gracefully raised her hand to gesture to the young woman beside her, a perfectly professional smile on her face. "Secretary Chen has been deeply involved in the financial field for many years and has handled numerous complex stock trading projects. She is very experienced. Whether it's real-time analysis of the stock market or handling various transaction procedures, she can handle it with ease. If you encounter any stock trading issues in the future, whether it's a small trial or a large-scale investment, just give her a call. Secretary Chen will use her familiarity with the stock business to provide you with comprehensive, meticulous and thoughtful service, so that every transaction of yours goes smoothly."

Chapter 688

In the financial industry, transaction processes are closely linked to customer levels, and services are significantly differentiated.

Generally speaking, stock trading matters for ordinary customers are often assigned to inexperienced grassroots employees, who follow established procedures, complete trading instructions, and accumulate experience.

This is not only cost-effective, but also allows new employees to grow through practice.

However, this time Chen Jiapei broke the rules and took charge of the production herself.

She was dressed in a smart professional suit, her eyes fixed on the blackboard, her fingers moving nimbly on the paper, as if she was weaving an intricate financial web.

Others might be surprised by this unusual behavior, but Chen Jiapei herself looked calm and not at all panicked.

To her, this was just a routine job.

Over the years, she has become a key link between the company and its key clients with her keen market insights and excellent communication skills.

Those wealthy clients with complex investment strategies only trust her professional judgment. Therefore, she can handle various complex situations with ease in each transaction and turn every challenge into an opportunity to consolidate client relationships.

At Li Yunzhen's signal, Chen Jiapei took graceful steps and slowly sat down.

She adjusted her sitting position slightly, tidied up the documents in front of her, then raised her eyes and began to explain to He Yuzhu in detail with a focused expression some things that need to be paid attention to when buying stocks.

At that time, the procedure for buying stocks was extremely cumbersome. First, one had to fill out a variety of densely packed forms, covering everything from personal asset status to daily contact information. Next, the identity information review process was even more rigorous, ensuring that every buyer's identity was real and their background was compliant, with no room for error. Finally, the confirmation of fund flow was equally complicated. From the freezing of account funds to the unfreezing after the transaction was completed, every step was related to the safety of huge wealth.

Fortunately, these troublesome procedures can be handled by their powerful agency.

Chen Jiapei explained very patiently, starting from the explanation of obscure professional terms, such as "price-earnings ratio" and "turnover rate", which were like incomprehensible words to the novice He Yuzhu, to practical operation cases, such as how a certain client had accurately grasped the timing of buying and selling to make a profit.

She spoke clearly and in a steady tone. After a detailed explanation, He Yuzhu's originally frown gradually relaxed. He finally had a clearer understanding of the process of buying stocks, and the doubts that had been in his mind for a long time were also resolved one by one.

Finally, Li Yunzhen, with a perfectly balanced smile on her lips, leaned forward gracefully. Her voice was gentle yet undeniably professional. "Mr. He, from today on, you are officially eligible to purchase stocks, embarking on a fascinating journey in the capital market. I wonder which of the many stocks currently on offer do you particularly favor and plan to invest in first? If you don't have a clear target yet, our company can provide you with professional and comprehensive recommendations. You may not know, but we have an elite team of professional analysts behind us. They immerse themselves in in-depth market research daily. Drawing on years of experience and keen intuition, they have an unerring grasp of market trends. Whether it's a hot potential stock or an undervalued high-quality stock, they can identify it and provide you with valuable and practical investment advice."

He Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. Then he gently shook his head and spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful, "I already have a clear purchase target in mind: the two high-profile listed companies under the Yuren Group. Lately, I've been completely focused on them, closely following their every move. From stock price trends to company financial reports, from market layout to management decisions, I've conducted extremely detailed research on every aspect, hoping to find the perfect opportunity to enter the market."

When Li Yunzhen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face and her eyes widened instantly, as if she was touched by something unexpected.

She leaned forward and pressed eagerly, "Are you referring to Yu Ren Insurance and Yu Ren Boats? Within the industry, these two companies have truly carved out a niche and earned a certain reputation thanks to their unique strengths. However, the current market situation is volatile and volatile, with all sorts of risks and opportunities intertwined. Your resolute decision to choose these companies at this time must have been a result of careful consideration and insightful deliberation, right?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded heavily, his expression full of agreement.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the convenient scenes of stock trading in the past involuntarily emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Today, things are different. The process of buying stocks is complicated and cumbersome. It is no longer as simple and direct as before. It is necessary to use a third-party platform to mediate in order to complete the transaction.

Think back to the golden age when computers were widely used. You could just sit in front of the computer and click the mouse a few times with your nimble fingers to get your favorite stocks accurately. How convenient and efficient it was.

But he immediately shook his head, forcing himself to pull himself out of his memories, and calmed down to think carefully. He felt that although the trading methods were very different, when analyzed at the essential level, there was actually no world of difference.

After all, every formal securities company can clearly see the details of its customers' stock purchases in its strict back-end system. From the perspective of information transparency, there are similarities between the past and the present.

Li Yunzhen raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she seemed quite interested in He Yuzhu's choice.

She took a sip of her coffee and spoke slowly, her voice inquiring. "Mr. He, I'm sure you've carefully considered your stock purchase this time. Is it purely for investment purposes, optimistic about the company's long-term development potential, and intending to hold on for the long term, hoping for a lucrative return? Or do you have more flexible plans, planning to take advantage of stock price fluctuations and implement short-term arbitrage plans, quickly entering and exiting to make a profit? Or are there other, lesser-known considerations behind this?"

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, tapping the table lightly with his index finger. After a moment's thought, he spoke calmly, "Investment is crucial in the current situation. I've been closely monitoring the capital markets lately and heard that Yu Ren Water Boat's stock price has seen a slight decline. Therefore, I specifically sought out its financial statements for the past few quarters and carefully compared key data such as revenue, profit, assets and liabilities. I also comprehensively considered factors such as current supply and demand trends in the shipping market and policy guidance. After a thorough analysis, I'm convinced this is a rare opportunity. Therefore, I plan to seize the opportunity and buy some of its shares at a low price. In my opinion, over time, as market dynamics evolve, Yu Ren Water Boat's potential value will gradually become apparent, and we will be able to reap rich returns."

After hearing He Yuzhu's analysis, Li Yunzhen couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She nodded slightly, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in her eyes.

In this business world where information flows rapidly, she naturally received relevant news and was well aware of the situation.

Yu Ren's water boats have always relied on the route between Hong Kong and Macau, which is the key to their profitability.

At present, Aocheng Entertainment Company is ambitious, and its two hydrofoils are competing head-on on this popular route, engaging in an extremely fierce competition.

From significantly reducing ticket prices to attract customers with low-price strategies, to comprehensively upgrading onboard services, from exquisite meals to attentive crew care, various methods are emerging one after another and are constantly being innovated.

This fierce business war directly led to a large diversion of Yu Ren Water Boat's customer base, a sharp decline in revenue figures, and a sharp drop in the company's stock price, which continued to decline.

But in the eyes of Li Yunzhen, a business veteran, market competition is like a battlefield with ever-changing circumstances. Although it is full of dangers, it also hides countless opportunities.

He Yuzhu resolutely chose to enter the market at this time. Perhaps he could really have the foresight to seize this fleeting opportunity and create a new world in this complicated situation.

Just when everyone was generally pessimistic about the company's prospects and trying to avoid it, He Yuzhu had a unique vision and keenly noticed this company that was in a quagmire.

After an in-depth analysis of the market conditions and the company's internal structure, he firmly believed that buying on the dip at this time would not only allow him to acquire high-quality assets at a relatively low cost, but also be an excellent strategy for planning for the future and seizing market opportunities. It was a very wise choice.

Seeing this, Li Yunzhen's expression froze. She quickly stood up and walked towards the antique solid wood cabinet behind her.

She moved gently, afraid of disturbing the solemn atmosphere in the office, and gently opened the cabinet door and took out an exquisite folder.

The cover of the folder is made of high-quality cowhide, and the edges are inlaid with thin metal strips, which sparkle with a cold and hard luster under the light.

Li Yunzhen slowly returned to her seat, placed the folder on the table, and gently opened it with her slender fingers, revealing the neatly arranged documents inside.

She turned the documents to He Yuzhu so he could see them more clearly, and then began to explain, her voice steady yet tinged with worry: "Mr. He, the total share capital of Yu Ren Watercraft Company is set at 50 shares. You may not know this, but just a few days ago, its share price was steadily above 4 yuan. However, the market is volatile, and in the past few days it has plummeted like a high dive, all the way down to 3.8 yuan. Judging from this trend, many industry insiders analyze that it will probably continue to decline, with no signs of bottoming out or rebounding."

He Yuzhu sat in front of the large desk, his eyes fixed on the densely packed data on the blackboard, his fingers tapping on the paper from time to time, carefully performing various calculations and comparisons.

After a long moment, his slightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly, and he spoke thoughtfully, "Based on the current trends in these data and a comprehensive analysis of various indicators, we can initially adopt a small-scale, small-batch approach, acquiring some shares. But be careful not to buy too much. Our goal is to keep the stock price falling within a controllable range, creating more favorable conditions for subsequent large-scale acquisitions."

Li Yunzhen stood aside, listening attentively to every word He Yuzhu said, nodding slightly as she listened, her eyes revealing understanding and agreement. She then responded, "Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for the relevant personnel to get started."

Afterwards, He Yuzhu walked to Li Yunzhen's office, sat down leisurely on the sofa, and waited for the membership card to be processed.

In the office, exquisite ornaments are arranged in an orderly manner, and soft lights cast a shadow, reflecting a tranquil atmosphere.

The large company performance charts hanging on the wall demonstrate the business atmosphere here.

He looked around boredly, and time seemed to slow down.

After a while, the staff member walked in quietly and handed the beautifully made membership card to He Yuzhu with both hands.

He Yuzhu took it and gently stroked the pattern on the certificate with his fingers. After confirming that it was correct, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

However, just as he turned and took a step, Li Yunzhen, who had been sitting at her desk, suddenly stood up with a warm smile on her face and said, "Mr. He, it's almost noon. How about I treat you to a meal?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he paused, turned slightly sideways, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. He subconsciously pursed his lips, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. He wondered in his heart whether this invitation without any reason might be inappropriate.

After a moment, he replied hesitantly, "Not so good, right?"

Seeing this, Li Yunzhen took two steps forward and said gently, "What's wrong with that? Mr. He is now an important client of our company. This is what we should do. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Let's just treat it as a pre-established relationship today."

Although He Yuzhu was still a little hesitant, he finally nodded with a faint smile on his face to express his agreement after receiving such a warm and sincere invitation from the other party.

So, the two of them walked downstairs together with steady steps.

Li Yunzhen, with a smile on her face, led He Yuzhu enthusiastically through the bustling streets and finally arrived at a Western restaurant with a European style.

Inside the restaurant, the lighting is soft and warm, exquisite oil paintings hang on the walls, and melodious classical music flows in the air.

Li Yunzhen chose a quiet private room with ease. It was surrounded by thick velvet curtains, isolating it from the noise of the outside world.

After entering the private room, the two sat facing each other elegantly. Li Yunzhen took the menu, glanced at it quickly, occasionally exchanged a few words with He Yuzhu, and quickly completed the order.

During the brief conversation, the waiter was well-trained and quick in his movements. In the blink of an eye, he brought up the fragrant steak and the tempting red wine. The steak sizzled and the red wine swayed gently in the glass, as if foreshadowing the beginning of an important conversation.

Li Yunzhen's lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at He Yuzhu with a smile. She said softly, "Mr. He, I've long heard of you. Your current business empire is truly astonishing. If you walk down the streets of Hong Kong these days, nine out of ten times the sound of a radio playing near you is coming from your company. It has become an indispensable part of Hong Kong life."

Chapter 689

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled modestly, waved his hand slightly, and replied calmly, "Haha, Miss Li, you're too kind. Business is just barely keeping going, and it's all just luck. In the early years, there were few radio manufacturers on the market, so we saw the opportunity and took advantage of it."

He Yuzhu actually doesn't want to talk too much about his business. The complexity of the business world is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Every decision is accompanied by risks and undercurrents of competition. Only he himself knows the pressure involved.

So, with a subtle turn of his wrist, he shifted the topic to Yu Ren Company, where Li Yunzhen worked. "Ms. Li, I've heard Yu Ren Company is gaining a reputation in the industry. I'm sure it has many unique features. Could you tell me about them?" He lifted his glass, took a sip of red wine, his eyes filled with just the right amount of curiosity.

Under the soft lights of the western restaurant, the two of them were chatting happily while savoring the tender, juicy and perfectly cooked steak, with the mellow red wine gently rippling in the goblet.

Li Yunzhen spoke eloquently, talking about everything from the company's core business to the formation and coordination of the team, while He Yuzhu asked questions from time to time with a focused look in his eyes.

Through this brief but in-depth exchange, He Yuzhu not only gained a deeper insight into the structure and operating model of Ren Company, but also gained a better understanding of Li Yunzhen from her conversation and insights, and discovered her acumen and decisiveness in the business field.

Lunch time passed quietly. He Yuzhu and Li Yunzhen said goodbye politely and walked out of the western restaurant. The sun was shining outside, and he returned to his company.

The next morning, the stock brokerage company staff delivered the 1,000 shares purchased the day before on time as agreed.

In that era when digitalization had not yet been fully implemented, stocks were not in the electronic form that is common today, but in a more primitive paper form.

At first glance, these paper stocks look like an ordinary piece of paper, plain and unpretentious.

However, if you look closely, you can find that the company's name is carefully printed on it, with neat and eye-catching fonts, so that people can know its ownership at a glance.

Below the name, key information such as stock shares is also clearly listed, and each number carries important significance.
