Chapter 35: A Chance Encounter

After depositing the check in the bank, Lin Zitan ran back to school non-stop, he wanted to catch the two classes in the afternoon, so that he could leave school with Zhang Jing as if nothing happened, because Zhang Jing usually went to Li Manrui's shop to settle dinner.

The new manager invited by Li Manrui has been put in place, she is a Taiwanese woman in her 50s, she once ran a Taiwanese-style restaurant independently, and her facial features are sharp and strong at a glance, giving people a sense of oppression without anger and authority, and even Li Manrui, a woman who already looks very sophisticated, is slightly inferior to stand with her.

Of course, the two are also different types, Li Manrui is a talented and beautiful woman, with a so-called intellectual elegance and reserve, while this female manager called EVA exudes the shrewdness and toughness of a strong woman in the shopping mall that cannot be refused.

As soon as the female manager joined the company, she negotiated with Li Manrui on the terms, she would increase her business by 5% within three months, and by 10% after half a year, if these goals were achieved, Li Manrui would give her dividends or rewards proportionally, and she would be given an extra month's salary reward after one year, and her monthly salary at that time was $4,000 for food and accommodation, not a tip.

After this Eva manager came, Lin Zitan was even more relaxed, he almost didn't need to go to the restaurant to help anymore, even when it was the busiest weekend, the EVA manager could easily handle it.

Not going to help in the restaurant did not make Lin Zitan lose anything, on the contrary, he had more time to earn money as a translator, and more time to study finance and stocks. Through comparison, Lin Zitan registered a stock account on the official website of one of the largest brokerages and linked his bank card to this account.

After school that day, Lin Zitan said hello to Li Manrui and went home, as soon as he entered the house, he nested in the room and began to pour his stock business.

Although Lin Zitan had heard a lot of basic knowledge of stock speculation from Grandpa Lin before, he had not learned it systematically after all, and now he is finally going to get started, and he is entering the market with the purpose of making money, so he studied the respective line charts and methods on the Internet very carefully, in fact, the main thing is to see when the best time to buy apples.

Lin Zitan carefully looked at Apple's past K-line charts, as well as all the information he could search for about this stock, and found that the timing of his entry was not the best, a certain fruit since the beginning of January 02 after the close of $23.30, to the end of 02 fell to the lowest price of $14.33, and entered the 03 year began to rise slightly, but on April 17, 03, the stock price of a certain fruit suddenly fell to a 10-year record low, only $6.65.

Even if there is a slight improvement later, it did not break through $20 before the end of the year, and although it is not the lowest price at the end of mid-April, Lin Zitan feels that he is still reborn at the best time, because the stock price has fluctuated around $17.35 in recent days, and it is also the best time to buy.

Lin Zitan took stock of all his funds, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he remembered that Apple's stock price had been soaring since the beginning of 04, and his hands trembled with excitement when he thought that he had caught up with this wave. So he bought 15,000 shares in time when Apple closed at $17.13 that day, spending more than 70% of all his savings, but he knew that the investment was worth it anyway, and it was well worth it.

Lin Zitan knew that Apple's stock had been rising, so he didn't think about making a quick move, and now almost all the money was used by him for Apple, and he didn't have any extra capital on hand for a while, so in addition to studying hungrily every day like a good student, he still spent all his time as a translator to make money and study stock and financial information when he was free.

Although it is foreseeable that Apple's stock will be profitable in a few years, it is still necessary to find more high-performing stocks in the future in order to slowly roll up their wealth like a snowball.

Since opening a stock account, Lin Zitan will check Apple's stock price on the Internet every night, watching his money increase little by little, his heart is excited and worried, the remaining money in his hand is almost less than 40,000 US dollars, he has been thinking about buying another stock that does not need to worry too much and can rise all the way like Apple.

The study tasks have been completed efficiently by him in school, and the time to complete the translation task has come to more than 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Manrui knows that he has been studying very hard recently, except for telling him to pay more attention to rest, he did not bother him again, the key is that Li Manrui's own body is getting more and more bulky, she is nearly 8 months pregnant, she is already in the third trimester, and many things are a little inadequate.

Lin Zitan's fingers unconsciously swiped around on the mouse, looking at the international version of the news in recent days, of course, he is most interested in financial things now, but after looking for a while, he has never found the stocks he is determined to invest in, and the thirty or forty thousand dollars in his hand cannot be used to make money for him, and he is somewhat anxious.

"Ahh

Lin Zitan's finger pointed at an advertisement, he had seen the news of Starbucks' continuous expansion and opening branches in Asia before, and he remembered that before coming to the United States, Starbucks' first Fuzhou store had just started to open, and the business was very hot, and it was the end of 03 AD, so there would be more flagship stores in the mainland and Asian markets in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Zitan immediately went to the website to check the K-line chart of Starbucks, which has been on an upward trend recently, although the increase is not very large, but he knows very well that this stock should also run well in the next one to two years or even three years, so without hesitation, Lin Zitan took out all his remaining savings and took 5,000 shares at a closing price of $7.791.

There is a kind of person who feels unsafe when the money in his hand is placed there, Lin Zitan is this kind of person, so he must make his money active, especially the money does not belong to him originally, so it is very easy to put it on the gains and losses, and there are not so many worries about investment.

Of course, he knows that the two stocks he is currently investing in are all high-performance stocks and potential stocks, so he is not worried. He remembered reading a sentence in a stock research book, even if the stock price falls, as long as you don't sell it, the loss will not be caused! So he is not worried about the current stock price rise and fall at all, and he will not sell the stock in his hand at all in a short period of time.

When Lin Zitan was busy making money, Zhang Jing was still complacent, although he didn't talk about the romance at night, it could be regarded as a spring breeze, because he really fell in love with that blonde and blue-eyed foreigner beauty recently. And Michelle, who used to be hanging on Zhang Jing's lips, disappeared so inexplicably.

Lin Zitan didn't dare to ask more, but occasionally remembered that he was still a little worried about what happened to his cousin's family. It's a pity that he not only doesn't have Lin Shan's phone, but he doesn't even have Michelle's number, and seeing how comfortable Zhang Jing has been recently, he can't take the initiative to ask.

。。。。。。

On this day, Lin Zitan drove Li Manrui to the obstetrics and gynecology department in Flushing for an examination, because it would take a long time, Li Manrui asked him to go out for a walk by himself, so Lin Zitan walked out of the clinic wrapped in a coat alone, and wandered aimlessly on the main street of Flushing. In addition to the oldest downtown Chinatown Chinatown in New York, there are also Brooklyn Eighth Avenue, where Fuzhou people are concentrated, and Flushing Main Street in Queens, where Lin Zitan is strolling.

At that time, the street was far less lively than later, the crowd density was also very low, and most of the people coming and going were sparse, most of them were still Hispanics, Middle Easterners, Europeans and African-Americans, but as the third largest Chinese gathering area, the street had begun to take shape at that time, and there were many illegal immigrants from the north of the mainland gathered here, gradually expanding the population, and slowly developing into the most lively area, gradually replacing the status of Chinatown Chinatown.

Although Lin Zitan does not come often, but seeing the Chinese words constantly appearing on the signboard, walking on this street will have a trance back to the country, not crowded crowds, but more than in Long Island, feel the feeling of home, Chinese compatriots who do not know each other will look at each other and smile friendly when they look at each other.

"Lin Zitan?" Suddenly, he heard someone shouting his name, the voice sounded familiar and unfamiliar, a crisp female voice.

"Lin Zitan, it's really you!" When they got closer, Michelle smiled excitedly, her dazzling dimples were sprinkled by the winter sun with an alluring arc, which made Lin Zitan slightly stunned.

"How could it be you?" Lin Zitan looked around, only to see that Michelle had no other companions around her.
