Chapter 143: Going into Business with Brother
Mengyu looked at her brother, "Brother, don’t you wish to have a lot of money and break free from the Cheng Family controlling your financial fate?"
Cheng Jiuhe recalled asking their father for money to buy Yuan Nourishing Pills and being refused, and said, "Yes, I dream of it!"
"So, brother, how about we go into business together?"
"What? Go into business together? Are you thinking of speculating?"
Mengyu frowned, "Brother, times have changed with the economic reform, it’s not called speculation anymore, it’s called revitalizing the flow of goods."
Mengyu spent some time explaining the market economy to her brother, as well as the development trends for the next decade.
Although Mengyu spent the entire eighties in Tiger Valley, after becoming Ah Piao and staying by Huaiyu’s side, she was still very clear about the events of the eighties.
Later she learned to use the internet and often lingered online. Sometimes, she forgot to erase her browsing history which frightened Huaiyu extensively. Although scaring Huaiyu was satisfying, she didn’t want Huaiyu to eliminate her, hence she began to be careful about erasing her traces thereafter.
In fact, because Huaiyu fell asleep and she didn’t, having nothing else to do, she even learned hacking techniques.
With decades of experience as Ah Piao, Mengyu was very knowledgeable about these future matters.
Of course, she only spoke in general terms and never disclosed specific trends; otherwise, her existence as a reincarnator would call upon divine punishment.
Cheng Jiuhe looked at her curiously, "Little sister, how do you know so much?"
Mengyu held her head high, "I have the ability to foresee the future."
Cheng Jiuhe ruffled her hair, "No matter where you got this from, don’t tell anyone else, okay?"
Mengyu was touched by his concern; her brother received news of the future and instead of being greedy or excited, he worried for her.
Mengyu had already prepared her words, "I won’t tell anyone, not even my Master—" realizing she had misspoken, she quickly covered her mouth.
Seeing her expression, Cheng Jiuhe thought it must indeed have been that mysterious Master who told her about the Yuan Nourishing Pill.
"Brother, with five hundred thousand yuan as startup capital, we should be able to establish a respectable company. We don’t have to do anything illegal, just quietly make a fortune."
Cheng Jiuhe hesitated a bit: "But, brother, I really don’t have time to manage a company."
Mengyu thought it over; indeed, as a soldier, her brother really didn’t have the time to manage a company.
Suddenly, she recalled something she had seen on a computer in her previous life, during the period when Country Y’s economy was booming the fastest, the stock market soared as well.
It started rising from 1974, from 3350 points to over 8000 points, then fell back significantly to 6000 points by 1982, but began to rise again that year until it finally began to fall in 1989. In December 1989, it even soared to 38900 points, increasing by over a hundredfold!
Just from 1982 to 1989, it went up 92 times!
Back then, she had thought if she could go back in time, she would definitely invest in Country R’s stocks.
Unexpectedly, she really did come back, how could she not earn this money?
What business could possibly multiply money by over a hundred times?
She grabbed her brother’s hand, "Brother, do you have a way to buy stocks in Country R?"
Cheng Jiuhe nodded, "I can."
"Then let’s invest this money in Country R’s stock market." She gave Cheng Jiuhe the names of a few stocks, "Exchange this five hundred thousand into R currency, invest it all in the stock market, and when the stocks rise to 38900 points in December 1989, sell them immediately and get our money back. After that, we can go into business."
Cheng Jiuhe saw her eyes shining and fondly patted the back of her head, "The money is yours to earn, do whatever you think is best."
