The next day, after dinner, Su Jianjun came to Su Zelin's room.
At this time, Hunzi was lying on his back reading a book called "Super Century", a work by Hong Kong cartoonist Xu Jingchen, a very typical Hong Kong comic.
Hong Kong comics were once publications that were on par with Japanese and American comics. They absorbed the characteristics of both Eastern and Western comics, and had the toughness of American comics but the delicacy of Japanese comics. They were beautifully produced, usually in small-format color pages, which were extremely stunning in an era when black and white comics were common. The subject matter was even more daring, even involving bold themes such as gang violence, which made curious readers feel very excited.
Because of this, Hong Kong comics were once quite prosperous, with classic works emerging in an endless stream. In addition to the "Super Century" that Su Zelin read, there are also "Legend of the Emperor", "Mysterious Weapons", "Dragon Tiger Gate", "Tathagata Palm", and even the King of Fighters series of comics are from Hong Kong comics.
Anyone who has read Hong Kong comics should be left with a very deep impression. This type of comics has a common feature: the male characters in it are almost all muscular men, and the way the lines are drawn can make many people drool.
However, Hong Kong comics also have a biggest drawback: the style is monotonous and the characters are heavily stereotyped. The eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth of muscular men almost look the same, and even the faces of women and men look a bit similar.
The characters lack recognizability, which makes readers feel great after reading a few series, but get a bit bored after reading too many. Coupled with various other subjective or objective reasons, Hong Kong comics have gradually declined and faded out of sight.
Japanese comics are different. They have a variety of styles and cater to different types of readers, which is why they remain popular.
The Korean comics and Hong Kong comics that rose later are somewhat similar to each other in some ways. The female comics all have big bear faces, thin waists and long legs. They look quite stunning at first glance, but they are also too stereotyped.
However, the life span and prosperity cycle of Korean comics are likely to last longer than those of Hong Kong comics, because this kind of comics specializes in the route of Little Liu Bei, and just like the special theme movies of the island country, there will always be a group of loyal readers.
Seeing Su Jianjun, Su Zelin put away the comics and said, "Dad, what's up?"
"Zelin, this is what happened. Your idea of investing in the B-share market yesterday was a good one. I plan to share it with Uncle Qin. What do you think?"
Su Jianjun didn't waste any time and stated his intention as soon as he entered the door.
The idea of investing in the B-share market was thought up by Su Zelin. Even though he was his own son, Su Jianjun felt that asking for his opinion was a basic respect.
Of course, he thought his son would agree, after all, the two families had such a good relationship.
Su Zelin was delighted when he heard this. He had originally planned to find an opportunity to get Qin Daqing to buy some B shares as well.
Of course, Uncle Qin is embarrassed to take a cut, and I’m not so shameless as to do so.
However, it seems unreasonable to only beat my father. It would be unfair to be partial to one and I might get scolded.
Now that his father actually took the initiative to bring up this matter, it was exactly what Su Zelin wanted.
Moreover, in this way, I can take the initiative.
Thinking of this, Su Zelin suddenly jumped up from his bed: "What, Dad, how can you reveal the good ideas that I have worked so hard to come up with to outsiders? This is too much!"
Su Jianjun obviously didn't expect his reaction to be so intense. He frowned and said, "What outsider? Uncle Qin and we have been neighbors for decades. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We have such a good relationship. Why can't you tell him your idea?"
"Even old neighbors can't do that. You and I are still father and son, and I still have to take a cut from you! This is not a question of whether we have a good relationship or not. The most important thing is that I have to get something in return, otherwise it will affect my enthusiasm for coming up with ideas in the future."
Su Zelin kept making excuses, and Su Jianjun was speechless. After a while, he said, "So what do you think we should do? Should we let Uncle Qin miss this great opportunity?"
Su Zelin coughed dryly: "Actually, there is a solution."
"What is the solution?"
"I have to take a cut from Uncle Qin too!"
Su Zelin’s words almost drove Su Jianjun crazy.
Look, is this what a human being would say? It's fine that you're doing no-cost business with me, but you're actually trying to scheme against your old neighbor, and possibly your future father-in-law. How could you think of that!
Let’s not talk about whether Qin Daqing will agree or not. If his son really takes the commission, what will the two elders of the Qin family think? Is there any possibility for their son and their daughter
Su Jianjun was trembling all over: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
Su Zelin gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I will reluctantly take another step back. Uncle Qin can give up, but you have to increase your commission by 50%! In other words, if you make more than double, you have to give me 150% of 10%, which is 1.5%. If you make more than double, you have to give me 150% of 20%, which is 30% in total!"
Su Jianjun almost fainted from his breath.
This kid is really cheating his father, he is so filial!
Why did I give birth to this guy? I should have killed him against the wall back then!
"Either let Uncle Qin give me a cut, or you take more from your side, Dad, you decide for yourself. Of course, you can also tell Uncle Qin secretly, but I will never tell you any good ideas in the future!"
Su Zelin didn't care what his father thought and said in a non-negotiable tone.
"Okay, then add 50 percent!"
Su Jianjun gritted his teeth.
Of course he couldn't let Su Zelin take Qin Daqing's, so he could only sacrifice some of his own interests.
But Father Su swore a solemn oath in his heart on the spot.
If I give this kid any pocket money again, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!
…
It’s late night at the Qin family.
Liu Sufen was combing her hair in front of the mirror and asked casually, "Daqing, what did Lao Su want to talk to you about just now?"
As soon as Su Jianjun and his son agreed on the terms, he went to Qin Daqing's house that evening and told him about his plan to invest in the B-share market.
Because Guo Jia will open the B-share market to domestic investors at any time, it would be better for Qin Daqing to know about it earlier.
"We talked about stocks. Zelin was very fond of a few stocks and thought they had the potential to rise sharply. Lao Su was planning to buy some and asked me if I was interested."
Qin Daqing did not hide the fact that he loved someone.
"What stocks does Zelin like?"
Liu Sufen suddenly became energetic.
Last time, the neighbor's kid used the lottery prize to invest in some Mei stocks and made more than 100,000 in just one month, which is almost comparable to his family's savings. This made Qin's mother very jealous.
She stopped combing her hair. "So what do you think of these stocks?"
"I think Zelin is right. Those stocks belong to the B-share market. This market has been around for many years, but it has been tepid. However, there have been recent news reports that Guo Jia is going to make a great effort to make it a success. The top leaders have emphasized this several times at important meetings. Zelin has obtained a lot of information from the Internet and predicts that there will be good policy support, and the stocks he has chosen will be the biggest beneficiaries!"
Qin Daqing explained patiently, but it was like talking to a deaf ear, Liu Sufen simply couldn't understand so many professional terms.
Qin Ma was concerned about something else: "Can you make money from that?"
"The stock market is risky, and no one dares to claim to be sure of making money!"
Qin Daqing is very cautious in his words.
"However, according to Zelin's prediction, even if those stocks drop, the drop should be very limited. If they rise, it is possible to make up to three times the profit within a few months!"
"three times!"
Liu Sufen was startled.
In the past, she would have absolutely sneered at it.
However, after the college entrance examination, Su Zelin used the lottery bonus to earn three times the money in just one month. The facts before her forced her to believe that stocks are indeed crazy.
It was after that time that she allowed her husband to invest in stocks, and he has made some small gains in the past six months.
Liu Sufen was tempted: "How much does Jianjun plan to invest?"
"Thirty thousand!"
"A lot!"
Liu Sufen was surprised again.
According to her husband, he and Su Jianjun usually gambled around tens or even thousands of yuan, so a 30,000 yuan investment in the stock market seemed very high to Qin's mother.
Of course she didn't know that she had been fooled by Qin Daqing and Su Jianjun, who usually invested 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in stocks.
Moreover, Su Jianjun concealed something this time. Su's father invested at least 100,000 yuan, definitely no less than his own son.
"Where's Zelin?"
Liu Sufen asked again.
“Same!”
"Also thirty thousand?"
"right!"
After hearing what her husband said, Liu Sufen lost her composure.
All together, that’s a total of 60,000!
The father and son next door must have been very confident in those stocks to dare to bet so much.
If she knew that the combined worth of Su Jianjun and Su Zelin might be close to 300,000, she would probably be completely stunned.
"Daqing, why don't we invest some too!"
Liu Sufen hesitated for a moment before she uttered a word.
Before, when her husband was investing in stocks, although Qin's mother did not object, she would not take the initiative to preside over it.
But this time she was moved.
The main reason was that the money Su Zelin earned from investing in Shenghai Meilin had too much of an impact on her.
There is already a gap in savings compared to others. If the Qin family and his son team up to invest in stocks, and if Su Zelin takes a fancy to it again, the wealth gap between the two sides will be further widened.
Mother Qin still wanted to save her face, so she became anxious.
Qin Daqing was waiting for her to say this: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
"Since they are so confident, let's invest 50,000 yuan in it!"
Liu Sufen gritted her teeth and went for it.
She had never dared to think of taking out 50,000 yuan to buy stocks before.
"Are you sure? Is that too much?"
Qin Daqing tried to catch the enemy by letting him go.
"It's okay, this is not all the money, there is still a lot left in the passbook!"
Liu Sufen rarely encouraged her husband to increase his investment in the stock market, which made Qin's father very happy.
Yet he remained calm.
"Then... OK!"
Qin Daqing agreed "reluctantly".
Then he added: "You said it, so you can't blame me if you lose money!"
"It's okay, I said, I don't blame you!"
Mother Qin nodded.
I'll trust Zelin just once and see if he can surprise me!
…
A few days passed, and there was only one week left before the Spring Festival, and No. 2 Middle School also had a holiday.
Lijing Community.
When she got home that day, she called Su Zelin and said, "Senior, I'm on vacation now. How about we have some milk tea in the evening? Or maybe a midnight snack is fine!"
"I'm afraid not tonight!"
"Why?"
"Because we have a high school reunion tonight."
It is no coincidence that Su Zelin holds a class reunion as soon as Huang Panpan has a holiday.
Because this gathering was held on the campus of No. 2 Middle School.
After discussion, several class leaders all felt that holding the party back at school would be more meaningful and more cost-effective than holding it outside.
This is very different from the later generations where people just eat and sing karaoke all day long. Nowadays, class reunions are still quite fresh and simple, not as vulgar as in later generations, so Su Zelin would want to come.
It would be really boring if I sang while eating.
So everyone had to wait until No. 2 Middle School was on holiday and ask the class teacher, Lao Guo, to borrow an empty classroom as the venue.
"Senior, how about tomorrow night?"
Huang Panpan asked again tentatively.
"All right!"
Su Zelin did not refuse this time.
After all, the bank card has to be returned to Huang Panpan.
"That's great, senior. That's a happy decision. See you tomorrow night!"
Huang Panpan was very happy.
After chatting for a few more sentences and hanging up the phone, the junior high school girl was in a good mood and walked out of the room humming a song.
In the living room of the small villa, Li Juan looked at her daughter's cheerful and happy face, and couldn't help but said to her husband beside her: "What's wrong with Panpan today? Is there anything good? She seems very happy."
"It should be... that person is back."
Huang Hongbo thought about it and came up with the answer.
"Su Zelin?"
Li Juan frowned.
Calculating the time, the university has already had its holidays, and if nothing unexpected happens, Su Zelin should have returned to Jianglan.
Li Juan has a contradictory attitude towards this boy.
On the one hand, because of Su Zelin, his daughter has become sensible and motivated, and she even stops wearing her old strange clothes.
At the same time, Su Zelin is a gangster who smokes, fights and doesn't like to study.
Not to mention that she did not support Huang Panpan's early love in high school, Li Juan also felt that such a boy was not worthy of her daughter, but she didn't know how to stop it.
She frowned deeply, "What magic does that boy have? He has been in Lin'an for so long, but Panpan still misses him. I am really worried that my daughter will fall deeper and deeper into this trap!"
"Hey, why do you think so much!"
Huang Hongbo was not as worried as his wife. As long as his daughter forgave him, everything else would be easy.
Moreover, the rich man had no prejudice against Su Zelin, and was even grateful to him for putting his daughter's life back on track, so his attitude on this issue was quite different from that of Li Juan.
"Look, my daughter's grades are getting better and better, and she's becoming more obedient. She's not as indifferent to us as before. That's all. As for which boy she likes, it's her freedom. Many girls fall in love after entering college. We can't control that!"
Li Juan snorted, "You are just too careless. I know I can't control it in the future, but my daughter deserves a better boy. She is now obsessed with going to the Finance College. Sooner or later, she will be ruined by that bastard!"
"So what are you going to do?"
Huang Hongbo became nervous.
"Li Juan, I'm telling you, don't do anything rash. My daughter has finally obeyed me. If you do something weird now, I'll be very angry with you!"
"Don't worry, I know my limits!"
Li Juan thought to herself, I don’t know my daughter’s personality very well, so of course I can’t talk about this matter directly with Panpan.
But maybe I could talk to the boy privately.
