Chapter 85 Keeping a low profile is the key to making a fortune
Having made a lot of money, Deng Xiuzhen was no longer stingy. She remembered that in her previous life, there was a hotel called Omori Hotel in Kyoto. The accommodation prices were relatively expensive, but there was a discount for staying the whole month. Even with the discount, it still cost three thousand a month.
The reason I was so impressed with this hotel is because it was safe, the service was excellent, and most importantly, the confidentiality measures for its guests were superb.
She needs to keep things confidential; keeping things secret can save her a lot of trouble, and only by keeping quiet can she make a fortune.
Deng Xiuzhen first went to the mall and bought several pieces of clothing, a set of cosmetics, and a new suitcase.
Deng Xiuzhen, who had never spent money extravagantly in either of her two lifetimes, ultimately couldn't bear to buy anything too expensive, and chose a price that was slightly below average.
Fortunately, she had studied beauty in her previous life and was very skilled at using cosmetics.
After changing clothes in the dressing room, I found a quiet spot to put on makeup, and then looked in the mirror. I couldn't even recognize myself in the mirror. Only then did I feel satisfied and take a taxi to the Omori Hotel.
The saying "clothes make the man" is absolutely true. When Deng Xiuzhen, who had changed her appearance, took a taxi, the driver's attitude was different. Before, although the driver did not make any discriminatory remarks, his attitude was just average, or even indifferent.
This time it was completely different. The driver not only spoke warmly to her and opened and closed the door for her, but also helped her carry her suitcase and took her to the hotel.
After checking in, Deng Xiuzhen took a shower, washed and hung her change of clothes to dry, and then went out for lunch.
Arriving at the trading hall before 3 p.m., she found it already packed with people. Deng Xiuzhen, who had never bought stocks before, was extremely nervous inside, but outwardly pretended to be incredibly calm.
But her composure was just an act. When she saw those people simply sitting in chairs watching the stock market, she was at a loss. She genuinely didn't know how to buy stocks at this time, and besides, could she even ask? Who was the right person to ask?
In her previous life, she had only heard a few friends talk about stock trading, and she had seen them looking at those red and green lines on their phones or computers.
I once asked them how to trade stocks, but as soon as I heard that the procedures were complicated, the stock market crashed.
Then she hears about this person being trapped in a losing position, that person suffering huge losses, and she runs as far away as possible. She doesn't earn her money easily, and she doesn't want to risk betting on those incomprehensible red and green lines.
Having lived in a rural area and now living in a county town, I've never even heard of stocks, and no one around me buys them yet.
"Sigh, if only it were like in my past life, where I could look up anything on my phone!" Deng Xiuzhen lamented inwardly, but remained seated as steady as a mountain, her eyes seemingly fixed on the large screen, but actually glancing around erratically. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the screen, and no one noticed where her eyes were looking.
"Hey, how do I buy stocks?" Just as Deng Xiuzhen was at a loss, a woman dressed in a rather androgynous style walked in and grabbed her to ask.
Yes, he grabbed her and asked her, and he actually walked over and pulled her along. Deng Xiuzhen guessed that the reason the person chose to ask her was probably because she happened to be looking at the other person when they came in, while everyone else was staring at the screen.
"I don't know how to buy it either," Deng Xiuzhen said somewhat awkwardly.
"You don't know how to buy it either? Then what are you doing sitting here?" the woman asked her with a strange expression.
“I also want to buy stocks, but I don’t know how. And everyone else…” Deng Xiuzhen quietly pointed to those people.
"Hahaha, so you don't understand either! No wonder your eyes were wandering around!" The woman laughed heartily.
"Please don't make loud noises, keep quiet!" someone nearby advised.
"I'm going to laugh, what are you going to do about it?" The woman put one foot on the stool, glared, put her hands on her hips, and looked arrogant.
The man gave the woman a disdainful look and said, "This is a public place!"
"What's wrong with public places? We're allowed to let a pig like you in, but I'm not allowed to laugh?" the woman asked in a nonchalant manner.
"You!" The man's face turned a deep shade of liver.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Deng Xiuzhen quickly moved back, intending to hide to the side.
"What are you doing? Where are you going?" The woman grabbed her arm.
"I'll go over there and take a look, and ask about the procedures." Deng Xiuzhen didn't dare to move, and only explained in a low voice. This woman didn't look like a good person at all, and she didn't dare to offend her.
"Little Zheng, you're here to buy stocks too?" someone approached the woman and struck up a conversation. Seeing that fawning smile, Deng Xiuzhen wanted to get even further away.
"Um, which one are you?" Before the other person could answer, Xiao Zheng raised his head and said, "Never mind, it doesn't matter which one you are, just tell me how to buy stocks."
The man quickly stepped forward and said, "My name is Dai Wenjun. To buy stocks, you need to open an account first. Come on, I'll take you there."
The two followed Dai Wenjun to a counter, where the staff processed their paperwork according to procedure.
Deng Xiuzhen paid 100 yuan as an account opening fee, then a deposit, and then was required to deposit money to buy a certain stock.
Deng Xiuzhen tried hard to recall, but unfortunately she had very little experience with stocks. She only remembered chatting with friends once, and they talked about how some stocks had skyrocketed in price, something like technology, power, or oil.
They said they lacked the courage to buy too little when prices were soaring, and when they finally decided to follow suit, they encountered a downturn and lost everything, even their underwear.
One by one, they beat their chests and stamped their feet in frustration; some even burst into tears when they got to the point of commotion.
Deng Xiuzhen thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any technology stocks, power stocks, oil stocks, or the like?"
The staff member glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Dai Wenjun almost laughed, glanced at the woman named Xiao Zheng, and quickly replied seriously, "Companies named 'Technology' include An Technology, Hai Technology, and Feng Gao Technology; companies named 'Power' include Jin Power..."
After hearing Dai Wenjun's introduction, Deng Xiuzhen immediately focused on Hai Technology. She remembered that her friends had mentioned Hai Technology had the most impressive price increase, reaching 70 yuan per share in early May!
Deng Xiuzhen made a decision in her heart, but she didn't move, still looking bewildered.
"Why are you asking this?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I just felt that these are all high-tech things, so they would definitely grow, so I asked," Deng Xiuzhen replied, looking completely clueless.
"An Technology is currently at 21.6 yuan per share, Hai Technology is at 27.5 yuan per share, Feng Gao Technology is at 18.9 yuan per share, Jin Dongli... However, these stocks have been rising for some time, and it is estimated that the upward trend will not be significant in the future. There may be a downward trend, so it is better to be cautious." Dai Wenjun analyzed and introduced the stocks with great effort.
"Have you decided yet? If you have, hurry up and buy it, or we'll be closing time soon," the staff urged.
"Then let's buy 100 shares each of Hai Technology, An Technology, Fenggao Technology, and Jin Power," Deng Xiuzhen decided casually. With others present, she couldn't reveal her true intentions. She had to play the novice to the end.
Anyway, these stocks will all go up, just by a little bit.
Now that I know how to buy, I'll buy directly tomorrow and then sit back and wait for the May sell-off!
