If it weren’t for his daughter’s Mecha Warrior talent not tarnishing the Ma Family’s reputation, he would have doubted if she was his biological daughter.
At this moment, Ju Qingmeng finally changed into formal attire, quickly walked downstairs, greeted and apologized, then naturally sat next to Ren Zhong on the sofa.
Ren Zhong glanced left and right, "Just as well, since all of you are my investors, let me reassure you all. Everyone, please take a look."
He showed a confident expression, waved his hand, and the 3D projection reopened.
The three investors looked over in unison.
It was Ren Zhong’s stock account.
Stock holdings amount, 0!
"As early as three days ago, just before this minor stock market crash began, I had already liquidated my holdings. As for your money, Captain Ma, I am temporarily holding onto it and haven’t entered the market yet."
Although Ju Qingmeng and the Ma Family father and daughter didn’t really understand the stock market, they could understand this impressive maneuver by Ren Zhong.
In stock trading, being able to buy signifies a master; a master may occasional fail, but being able to sell makes one a true king.
Ma Dafu’s face briefly flashed with astonishment, silently gave Ren Zhong a thumbs-up, "Mr. Ren indeed has true skills."
Ma Xiaoling’s praise was much more straightforward, "Wow! Ren Zhong, you’re incredible!"
Ju Qingmeng looked at Ren Zhong with admiration.
Initially, when Ren Zhong borrowed money from her, he didn’t mention anything about stocks.
Now if she were to dig into her memories, she would definitely find clues and notice Ren’s misappropriation of "public funds" and deliberate hiding of wealth to borrow money.
But she didn’t think of this at all, just through the conversation with everyone, Ren Zhong’s impressive operation, and the Ma Family father and daughter’s feedback, she quickly realized one thing: Ren Zhong has a new skill, which is stock trading, and he’s very good at it!
Ma Xiaoling felt reassured.
She patted her chest repeatedly, "Forget it, forget it, Ren Zhong, you can return the money to me, I won’t make this profit. It’s too tiring, I’m mentally exhausted."
Ma Dafu raised his hand, signaling his daughter to calm down, and asked a question.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Ren, you just mentioned this is a minor stock market crash? What do you mean? This doesn’t look like a minor crash, it’s almost all green."
True to his role as Mayor, old Ma immediately caught the detail.
Ren Zhong smiled faintly, his eyes quietly glanced at Ma Xiaoling, this was the moment for him to truly show off his skills.
"I have comprehensively analyzed almost all the hidden information in the market and came to the following conclusion. This stock market crash is just a smokescreen, in essence, it’s a major reshuffle driven by the top-level capital forces coming together! The reshuffle is about to end, and the market trend is about to change! A rebound..."
Ma Xiaoling pushed on, "Tomorrow?"
"No! Right now! Within three minutes!"
Afterwards, Ren Zhong waved his hand again, and the image in the 3D projection switched to the ever-active stock market interface.
The four people, eight eyes, intensely watched the projection.
The time quietly ticked by.
Three minutes passed!
Suddenly, in the vast sea of green, a tiny new red spot emerged from the aerospace sector, like a pimple on a teenager’s face with severe hormonal imbalance.
After the first tiny red spot appeared, red spots began to pop up like mushrooms after the rain.
Only fifteen minutes later, the single red in the center had turned into a blaze covering half the mountain.
Though not as exaggerated as a bull market’s sea of red, this was enough to prove that the rebound had started, and the market had stabilized.
The Ma Family father and daughter, and Ju Qingmeng stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed at Ren Zhong, who stood with arms crossed, displaying an overwhelming masterly air, unable to find words to describe their feelings.
If earlier, in the eyes of the father and daughter, Ren Zhong was a top-level trader, now he had instantaneously upgraded to an invincible stock god with an iron mouth and divine commands.
What does it mean to strategize far away and win from a thousand miles away!
What does it mean to be invincible in the world, to decide the fate with a single word!
Ren Zhong showed a profound smile, slowly said, "According to my judgment, the market will enter a slow bull phase. It’s uncertain how many days this will last. In this slow bull phase, most stocks will fall less and rise more but with generally modest gains, the overall index reasonably ascending. There will be fewer of those Demon Stocks like before. The difficulty will increase slightly, but as long as I choose the right sectors and proceed steadily, the earnings may not be as much as before but are certainly assured. Captain Ma, do you still want to withdraw your money?"
Ma Xiaoling shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, actually, I... I still have more than two hundred thousand here."
Ma Dafu: "You said you only had thirty thousand!"
Ma Xiaoling rolled her eyes, "Where does a borrower get such confidence? I just covered your medicine money."
"Hey, Ren Zhong, please take this, I just transferred 200,000 after tax to you. You have to pay me back later..."
Ren Zhong: "According to the previous agreement, I should return 320,000 after tax to you."
Ma Xiaoling perked up, "Then it’s settled! Oh, it’s a pity you’re not a Citizen, so you don’t have Credit Points, otherwise you could have shorted the market and made a fortune."
Ren Zhong chuckled, "Oh? You know about shorting?"
Ma Xiaoling giggled, "A little, not daring to compare with you. Alright, I’m going home to sleep."
"Hold on, Captain Ma." Ren Zhong waved his hand, "I haven’t finished speaking yet."
Ren Zhong: "I see you have quite an understanding of the stock market and I think you also have a sharp investment eye. It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Would you be interested in learning stock trading from me?"
This was the true purpose of Ren Zhong tonight.
Ma Xiaoling’s additional 200,000 investment was just an unexpected bonus.
Beside her, Ma Dafu’s lips twitched, instinctively wanting to refuse on behalf of his daughter.
But old Ma suddenly had a flash of insight, realizing something, and quietly closed his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling was overjoyed, "Really? Ren Gushen, do you really think I have this talent?"
Ren Zhong nodded, "Of course!"
Ma Xiaoling eagerly said, "Then teach me quickly!"
Got her hooked, got her hooked, she fell for it completely, without any struggle.
Ma Dafu covered his face.
So dumb, but definitely blood-related.
Ren Zhong laughed, "Learning this skill is not a three-day task. And for me to teach you will require significant effort and will occupy a lot of my time. I hope you can give a trade-off condition."
"I’ve heard you’re the strongest Mechanical Warrior in town..."
"No need to hear, I am."
"I hope you can teach me some combat skills, and likewise, I’ll teach you stock trading."
Old Ma didn’t say or do anything, just watched his daughter sell herself away.
He might even help Ren Zhong count money later.
After sending the two off, Ju Qingmeng said with a slightly flushed face, "Actually... I also want to learn."
Ren Zhong, sipping tea, shook his head, "I was bluffing her, it’s something you can’t really teach."
Ju Qingmeng: "Ah? Wait, then why didn’t Mayor Ma dissuade her earlier? You’re just wasting Ma Xiaoling’s time."
"Because old Ma he... um, is a good person."
Ju Qingmeng: "I got it. Mayor Ma knows Ma Xiaoling’s personality. He can’t control his daughter. But Ma Xiaoling is indeed strong, if you want to learn combat skills from her, this might be the only way."
Ren Zhong nodded, "Indeed. This will significantly increase my chances against Lin Wang."
Ju Qingmeng sighed, "You’re really smart."
"Alright, you go to bed quickly, I’ll sleep in the living room tonight. By the way, could you arrange for a VIP level intermediate training ground tomorrow? I might have a chance to face the strongest Fourth Level Mechanical Warrior at their peak state. I want to know how strong these people truly are."
