Chapter 159: A Boy Who Speculated in Stocks

"Woo......"

With the whistle of the head of the steam engine, a train slowly stops at the Sacramento Valley train station with black smoke.

Hearing the whistle, Dora, who was crouching on the ground and stirring stones with a branch that had broken from an unknown tree, immediately stood up.

"Mom, is it Evan's?"

Coming to pick up the car, Dora asked, who was a little impatient waiting.

Nina, who was wearing a white brimmed hat, raised her hand to show her watch, looked at the time, and replied, "It should be." ”

"Why, are you impatient? Don't come with you, but you want to follow...... Isn't it different to wait at home?"

Nina counted Dora as she kept an eye on the exit.

Dora pouted and said, "No, I'm going to pick up Evan." Evan must have been happy to see me as soon as he got out of the car. ”

Standing next to Nina, wearing a long blue dress and a large-brimmed hat with the same style as Nina's head, Virginia smiled: "Where are you here to pick up Evan, you just want to be lazy and don't want to go to tutoring class, right?"

"Dorothy is much better than you are. ”

Careful thinking was exposed, Dora secretly glanced at Nina, and seeing that her mother had no intention of pursuing it, she immediately opened her teeth and claws at her sister: "It's not!"

Virginia only returned to Sacramento from Los Angeles the other day, and she couldn't go home all the time during the summer vacation.

Just as the sisters were playing happily, the flow of people at the exit suddenly increased, and all kinds of people walked out in a hurry or leisurely.

The three Evan mixed in with the crowd.

Bob's sharp eyes were the first to see Nina who came to pick up people, and under his reminder, both sides did not miss it.

"Evan, are you happy to see me?"

As soon as she saw Evan, Dora lunged at him, as if to prove that she wasn't lazy, and she couldn't wait to ask.

Evan didn't think there was anything wrong with Dora's enthusiasm, but he was a little surprised not to see Dorothy, who was inseparable from her.

Evan pulled his arm out of the "shackles" of Dora's arms and said perfunctorily: "Happy, of course happy!"

After reassuring Dora, Evan greeted his mother, Nina, and his sister Virginia, and introduced Isaac.

When she learned that Isaac was the editor she had assigned to her, Virginia couldn't help but look at him more.

Half an hour later, Evan and his party returned to the mansion, and Bob took Isaac to find a place to live.

Once home, Nina drove Dora back to the piano room. After a while, Dorothy came out of the piano room to say hello to Evan, and then thought she was back to the lesson.

Naturally, the governor was not there during the day, and Evan had already asked Nina that the governor would be back in the evening.

Robert was also not at home and did not return until it was almost lunchtime.

When Robert came back sweating profusely, he had a newspaper in his hand. Evan was half-lying on the couch in the living room, and at a glance he saw the name of the newspaper.

"Evan, you're back!"

Seeing Evan, Robert didn't stop, and after saying hello casually, he ran straight to the stairs.

Evan frowned and shouted in a commanding tone, "Robert, stop, come here!"

Hearing Evan's order, Robert subconsciously stopped. As Evan's accomplishments grew, so did what he said at home. Even Robert, who often disagrees with him, does not turn a deaf ear to his words.

Robert stepped on the stairs with one foot, tilted his head and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Evan sat up straight and gestured towards him.

Robert thought for a moment and walked towards Evan with his feet up.

Evan glanced at the newspaper in his hand, then at the beads of sweat on his forehead, and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

"Didn't do anything...... Robert said perfunctorily, pulling out a piece of tissue from the cardboard box next to the TV to wipe his sweat.

"Not telling the truth!" Evan said unceremoniously, then asked, "Are you reading the Wall Street Journal?"

"Hmm!" Robbette nodded.

Evan asked, "Interested in Wall Street?"

Robert's eyes wandered and he was silent.

Evan continued: "By the way, how much did you spend on the $500 prize money for the runner-up in the Rubik's Cube competition?"

"Hmm...... You're not going to use it to buy stocks, are you?"

Robert looked at Evan in surprise, and his eyes seemed to ask, "How do you know?"

Then he looked at the Wall Street Journal in his hand, and instead of asking again, he nodded and admitted, "Yes." ”

"Evan, I use the money to buy stocks, is there a problem?"

Evan smiled and said, "With your own money there, it's okay to do whatever you want, huh...... There are still things you can't do, such as leaf pumping or something, but I'm sure you won't do that. ”

"Buy stocks, that's investment and financial management, I naturally don't have any problems here!"

Seeing Evan say this, Robert relaxed and smiled.

"By the way, let me find out, which company's shares did you buy and how much did you buy?"

Robert squirmed, "Confidential!"

Evan shook his head and said, "Keep it secret, I'm not very interested in it anyway." ”

"But, Robert, there are a few things I have to warn you of. ”

Robert made a deaf look.

"First of all, the stock market is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the market, which you must already know, so I won't say more. ”

"Second, don't put too much energy into stock trading, especially don't affect your studies. Whether there is more money in the stock market or less money, don't worry too much. ”

"Third, since you are interested in the stock market, read more related books, investing is a science, not something that can be learned by reading newspapers. ”

These are all pertinent words, and Robert naturally would not be kind enough to treat them as donkey liver and lungs, Evan nodded as he spoke.

After Evan finished speaking, he suddenly asked again, "By the way, you didn't ask Dora and them to raise money like I did, did you?"

Robert's face stiffened when he heard this, and he replied unnaturally: "This...... Yes!"

Evan asked curiously, "Who voted and how many?"

Robert replied, "All three have a share, Virginia two hundred dollars, and both sisters fifty dollars." ”

Evan's face sank, and he said unhappily, "Okay, they all knew, but they left me behind." ”

"Virginia actually paid back two hundred, where did she get so much money? By the way, I seem to have approved Girard to advance some manuscript fees to her some time ago. ”

"Abominable ......"

Seeing that Evan's face was full of displeasure, Robert thought about it and tentatively proposed: "Evan, it's not impossible for you to join a share." ”

Evan waved at Robert and said, "Forget it, you can play by yourself, I won't get involved." ”

He looked at Robert with a smile and admonished, "But, Robert, you have to be careful, don't lose too much!"

Using your own money to speculate in stocks and using other people's money to speculate in stocks, it is good to make a profit, but if you lose, facing pressure is completely different.
