Chapter 67: You're Cut Off from Your Mother If You Speculate in Stocks

  Li Xiaoteng rummaged through his wallet, pulled out a card from Aixin Bank, slapped it on the table and said with a deep breath: "Mom, the money was directly transferred to my card by the buyer! It's in my name. Can you keep this bank card for me?"

  Mr. Li looked at this ordinary bank card that couldn't be any more ordinary. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat, and blinked his reddened eyes repeatedly.

  Li's mother looked at Li's father and suddenly fell silent. Li's father spoke in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Teng, it's not that your mom and I want your money. It's just that this money... you... your mom and I..." His neck turned red as he couldn't continue speaking!

  Mr. Li had never seen so much money before. Suddenly knowing that his son had money, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

  Li Xiaoteng looked at his parents' reaction. Thirty years of life experience, how could he not know what his parents wanted to say? But thinking about his own goals and looking at the bank card on the table, he had planned to rely on this funding to make a comeback. He couldn't give it to his parents yet!

  Li Xiaoteng licked his lips and said to his father, "Dad, when I was doing hot pot business, you actually thought I was not doing a proper job. But in a short time, I've become what I am today, no need for me to say! Later, I wanted to take over the cold dish business. You and mom took out your savings to support me. As your son, I'll give all the money back to you, no questions asked!"

  Li's mother was about to say something, but Li Xiaoteng hastily interrupted: "Mom, you also saw that only by making money move can we get a bigger return!" Li's father immediately asked: "What do you plan to invest in? Tell me and your mom! If it's really feasible, I and your mom will support you! As long as our son is doing well, even if we have to sleep on the streets, we're willing!" With an air of grandeur that was different from his earlier demeanor.

  Li Xiaoteng smiled and said, "Dad! I can still make you and mom sleep on the streets! Don't you know what kind of person your son is?" He continued to say: "I plan to invest all the money in the stock market..."

  The words had not been finished, when suddenly Li's mother shouted loudly with a furious face: "No way! Absolutely no way!" Li Xiaoteng looked at his mother in surprise and asked: "Mom, why not? The stock market is so low now! If we buy it, we'll definitely make money soon!"

  "Making money? The stock market in China has been terrible since 2000. Your Auntie from the fourth floor invested over three million and now she's left with only two hundred thousand! If you dare to put your money in the stock market, I'll break your legs! From now on, don't call me mom again! I'm not your mom..."

  Li Xiaoteng helplessly looked at his mother. Because of a sentence about the stock market, it suddenly seemed like a volcanic eruption. Li Xiaoteng didn't even know what to say next!

  Mr. Li slapped the table and said in a domineering tone, "Speak properly! What are you yelling about?" Mrs. Li rarely saw Mr. Li so majestic and was momentarily stunned.

  Li's father sighed and said, "Little Teng, don't be annoyed with your mom. She didn't tell you that I also opened a stock account and bought 40,000 yuan worth of stocks. This thing has never been mentioned to you!"

  Li Xiaoteng asked in disbelief, "Dad, did our family buy stocks too? I've never heard you mention it before!" Li Dad said with some embarrassment, "This was something your mom insisted that I buy a few years ago! Now the 40,000 has dropped to less than 4,000! The stock has become your mom's heart disease. Don't blame your mom for being anxious!"

  Li Xiaoteng was suddenly stunned, when he was a customer manager in his previous life. He had never mentioned anything about stocks to his family and friends before, fearing that they would blame him. Who would have thought that his parents had opened a stock account as early as the year 2000...

  Li Xiaoteng knew that if most people hated the stock market, the best way was to let their stocks rise. Only when they made money would everyone change their views on the stock market. When losing big time, don't say anything. Saying too much might even get you slapped in the face!

  Of course, there is also a most important premise. Everyone's stock has not been cut off and sold at floor price! If it has already been cut off, then okay, he will hate the stock market for his whole life...

  Li Xiaoteng knew that his parents were also the majority of people! Seeing that investing in the stock market is not feasible now. Li Xiaoteng especially wanted to say, the bull market is coming soon. Will his parents change their minds? Moreover, it's currently a period of economic downturn for China. If they just put their money in the bank and do nothing, it would be a waste of wealth!

  Li Xiaoteng took a look at his father and didn't go to tell his parents that the stock market would be great in the future. If his parents asked, he couldn't say that he was reborn!

  If he told his parents this, Li Xiaoteng believed they would send him straight to the Anding Psychiatric Hospital that very night...

  "Mom Li looked at her son sitting in the chair, sometimes deep in thought and sometimes smiling. She said anxiously: "Son, are you okay? We won't enter the stock market no matter what... is that okay?! After finishing speaking, she picked up the bank card on the table and hurriedly muttered: "Xiao Teng, what's your password? I'll change it for you! This money I'm leaving for you to buy a house and get married! Your dad and I really don't want yours!"

  Li Xiaoteng let his parents repeat it to him. They had forgotten the brilliant idea they just thought of. He hastily rushed to his parents and said, "Dad, Mom! Let's use this money to buy a house, and you can keep the rest!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, Li's mother suddenly lit up. She took a look at Li's father who was beaming with joy and suppressed her own joyful emotions to say: "What did you just say? Say it again!"

  Li Xiaoteng smiled and said, "You weren't thinking of changing to a bigger house, were you? Didn't they just finish building a new Rainbow City on the north side of our place?" Li Dad looked at Li Mom and asked, "Are the houses there good?"

  Li Xiaoteng suddenly smiled and said: "What's wrong with it? It's a Vanke property. I think it's still reliable! Besides, it's not expensive!"

  "Is it not expensive? Do you know how much Rainbow City costs? I pass by there with your father every day on our way to and from work! 12,100 yuan per square meter! And that's not even counting the small units. Usually they're over 130 square meters! The first floor commercial units are 18,000 yuan per square meter! And they all start at 200 square meters! Buying a house there is no different from being robbed!"

  Li Xiaoteng really wanted to tell his old mother. Six or seven years later, the second-hand house prices in that area were several times more expensive than they are now, and the commercial housing was like a rocket launch!

  "But Li Xiaoteng patiently said, "Mom, Dad, let's go buy a suite of rooms and rent this one out. It's also a way to improve our lives. We can also buy a shop on the ground floor. If my business is doing well, I'll continue to do it. If not, we have our own store at home, what can't we do..."
