Chapter 221 - 140: 72-Hour Race, Exceeding the Time Limit is Fatal
Even though using margin trading and leverage required interest payments.
But at a 5% annual interest rate, using 30 million in funds with 2x leverage for 30 days would only cost 125,000 yuan in interest, averaging less than 4,200 a day.
Compared to the 4.515 million yuan in profit he made in a single day, this interest wasn’t even a tiny fraction of his earnings.
It was practically negligible.
"You’ve gotta love leverage. It doubled my profits."
Chen Mo looked at the profits on his screen, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
This profit was almost on par with one of his unlucky spells.
You don’t run into bad luck every single day.
But this stock was guaranteed to hit its daily limit up for at least this entire week.
Which meant he would have these kinds of gains every day for at least a week.
It was equivalent to having a streak of bad luck every day.
’Looks like reaching A9 status is just around the corner.’
Chen Mo felt that if things kept going up like this, it wouldn’t be long before his assets reached the A9 level.
After all, he hadn’t just bought stock in Xinggui Film and Television.
The other nine stocks he’d bought were also still rising.
He checked on the other nine stocks.
Even though the market had just opened, all his stock charts were climbing.
After watching the market for a bit, he picked up his old phone.
Even though it was his old phone, it still charged pretty fast.
In just a short while, it had already charged by a good few dozen percent.
The phone turned on automatically after charging, and just as Chen Mo expected, he saw a pop-up notification from Xiaohongshu.
The notification showed that the message had been sent last Friday.
’Looks like she started asking her online friend for advice the moment she received the key to a fortune.’
Just from the timestamp on the notification, Chen Mo could already guess what Xia Shiqing was thinking.
He chuckled and opened the Xiaohongshu app.
He immediately saw a red number on the "Messages" tab at the bottom.
He tapped it and saw that it was, indeed, a message from Xia Shiqing.
"Hi, my boyfriend gave me huge help with my career again today, even more than last time."
"I’m so grateful to him and I really want to thank him properly, but I just can’t think of anything that would be good enough to match the help he’s given me."
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Chen Mo saw that these three messages had been sent by Xia Shiqing last Friday.
She was basically saying that Chen Mo had helped her a lot with her career and was asking for ways to thank him.
"Hello? Can you see my messages?"
Seeing no reply from her online friend, she had sent another message on Sunday, which was yesterday.
As for Saturday, she had spent the entire day with Chen Mo, so she didn’t have time to chat with her online friend.
Meanwhile, Chen Mo had been busy with his "time management" these past few days and hadn’t had a chance to charge his old phone, so naturally, he hadn’t seen her messages.
’What’s a good way to thank me?’
A thoughtful look flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes. If he had to come up with something himself, he’d have to give it some serious thought.
He wasn’t particularly interested in her buying him gifts or anything like that.
Xia Shiqing already bought him gifts all the time, big and small, expensive and cheap.
The method of "thanking" him that he’d taught her last time had now become a routine, practically a daily quest.
It couldn’t really be classified as a special thank-you anymore.
’I’ve got it!’
Just then, an idea suddenly popped into Chen Mo’s head.
He thought about the "72-hour race" he’d had with Pan Kejia over the past couple of days.
That feeling of walking in the rain without an umbrella, letting the drops fall all over you, seemed quite nice.
’Maybe I could try a walk in the rain with Xia Shiqing, too?’
Of course, after his experience with Pan Kejia, there would be no need to go through the whole "72-hour race" ordeal.
He could use the same medicine Pan Kejia had shown him yesterday. He just needed to take it on schedule for a few days beforehand.
It had basically no side effects.
With an idea in mind, he began to type out a reply.
"Hey girl, sorry, I was traveling with my boyfriend the last couple of days and wasn’t on Xiaohongshu. I’m slacking off at the office now and just saw your message."
"If your boyfriend helped your career that much, you definitely need to thank him properly. As for how, I suggest you try... with your boyfriend..."
"Let me recommend a type of medicine for you. As long as you take it for a few days beforehand, it’ll be fine. There are basically no side effects, and I’m sure your boyfriend will love it."
Chen Mo thought it over, weighing his words carefully before sending her the reply.
