Reborn Sells Instant Noodles In America

Chapter 35: chance encounter

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

The new manager hired by Li Manrui is already in place, a Taiwanese woman in her 50s who once independently operated a Taiwanese-style restaurant.

At first glance, the facial features are sharp and strong, giving people a sense of oppression without anger, even a woman like Li Manrui who seems to be very experienced is slightly inferior to her.

Of course, the two are of different types. Li Manrui is a talented and beautiful woman with a so-called intellectual elegance and restraint, while this female manager called EVA exudes an irresistible shopping mall woman. shrewd and strong.

The female manager negotiated the conditions with Li Manrui as soon as she joined the company. Within three months, the business will increase by 5%, and after half a year, it will increase by 10%. If these goals are achieved, Li Manrui will give her proportional dividends or rewards. She was given an extra month’s salary incentive every year. At that time, her monthly salary was $4,000 including room and board, not counting tips.

After the Eva manager came, Lin Zidan felt more relaxed. He almost didn't need to go to the restaurant to help. Even on the busiest weekends, the EVA manager could easily handle it.

Lin Zidan didn't lose anything by not helping out in restaurants. On the contrary, he had more time to make money as a translator, and more time to study finance and stocks.

By comparison, Lin Zidan registered a stock account on the official website of one of the largest brokerage companies, and linked his bank card to this account.

After school that day, Lin Zidan said hello to Li Manrui and went home. As soon as he entered the house, he nestled in his room and began to lose his stock business. After several urgings from his aunt, he ate dinner, and then he went back and forth again. plunged in.

Although Lin Zidan had heard Grandpa Lin teach a lot about the basics of stock trading, he had never learned it systematically. Now he is finally getting started, and he entered the market for the purpose of making money.

So he studied the respective line graphs and methods on the Internet very seriously. In fact, he mainly wanted to see when is the best time to buy Apple.

Lin Zidan carefully checked Apple's K-line chart in the past, and all the information he could find about this stock, and found that the timing of his entry was not the best.

After closing at $23.30 in early January of AD 02, a fruit fell to the lowest price of $14.33 at the end of AD 02, and began to rise slightly in AD 03, but on April 17, AD 03, a fruit The stock price suddenly fell to a 10-year all-time low of $6.65.

Even if there is a slight improvement later, it will not break through $20 before the end of the year. Although it is not the lowest price in mid-April, Lin Zidan feels that he is reborn at the best time, because the stock price has fluctuated around $17.35 in recent days. Buy It is also the best time to enter.

Lin Zidan took stock of all his funds. He didn't dare to hesitate any more. He remembered that Apple's stock price had been soaring since the beginning of 2004. Thinking that he had caught up with this wave, his hands trembled with excitement.

So when Apple closed at $17.13 that day, he bought 15,000 shares in time, and spent almost 70% of all his savings, but he knew that the investment was worth it anyway, and it was worth it.

Lin Zidan knew that Apple's stock had been going up, so he didn't think about making a quick move. Now he spends almost all of his money on Apple, and he has no extra capital on hand for a while.

So in addition to studying eagerly every day like a good student, he still spends all his time doing translation to make money and researching stock and financial information when he is free.

The so-called prosperity must decline, although it is foreseeable that Apple's stock will be profitable in a few years, but in the future, we still need to find more blue-chip stocks in order to slowly snowball our wealth.

Ever since he opened a stock account, Lin Zidan would go online to check Apple's stock price every night. Seeing his money increasing little by little, he felt excited and apprehensive.

With less than $40,000 left in his hand, he has been thinking about buying another stock that doesn't need to worry too much and can go up like Apple.

He had already completed all the study tasks efficiently in school. The time to complete the translation task had come to more than 11 o'clock in the evening. Li Manrui knew that he had been studying very hard recently, so he did not disturb him except for telling him to pay more attention to rest.

The key is that Li Manrui's body is getting heavier and heavier. She is in the third trimester of pregnancy after nearly 8 months of pregnancy, and she is a little powerless in many things.

Lin Zidan swiped his fingers on the mouse unconsciously, flipping through the international news of the last few days. Of course, he was most interested in financial matters.

But after searching for a while, he still couldn't find a stock he was determined to invest in. He couldn't survive and make money for him with the $30,000 to 40,000 in his hand. He was somewhat anxious.

"Ah? Starbucks!"

Lin Zidan pointed his finger at an advertisement. He had read the news that Starbucks was expanding and opening branches in Asia before, and he remembered that Starbucks' first Fuzhou store had just opened before coming to America.

The business is very hot, it is now the end of AD 03, then there will be more flagship stores set up in the mainland and Asian markets.

Thinking of this, Lin Zidan immediately went to the website to check Starbucks' K-line chart. Recently, it has been on an upward trend. Although the increase is not very large, he is very clear.

In the next one to two years or even three years, this stock should do well, so without hesitation, Lin Zidan took out all his savings and won 5,000 shares at the closing price of $7.791.

There is a kind of person who feels unsafe with money in his hand. Lin Zidan is such a person, so he must make his money active, especially since the money doesn't belong to him originally, so he also puts aside the gains and losses. It is very easy, and there is not so much worry about investing.

Of course, he knows that the two stocks he is currently investing in are all blue-chip 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! Therefore, he is not worried at all about the current rise and fall of the stock price, and he will not sell the stock in his hand in a short period of time.

When Lin Zidan was very busy trying to make money, Zhang Jing was still happy and content.

Because he really fell in love with that blond and blue-eyed foreigner beauty recently. And Michelle, who was always hanging by Zhang Jing's mouth, disappeared so inexplicably.

Lin Zidan didn't dare to ask any more questions, but occasionally, when he thinks about it, he is still a little worried about how the life of his cousin's family is going. Unfortunately, not only did he not have Lin Shan's phone number~www.wuxiamtl.com~ he didn't even have Michelle's number. Seeing how comfortable Zhang Jing had been recently, he couldn't take the initiative to ask.

. . . . . .

On this day, Lin Zidan drove Li Manrui to the obstetrics and gynecology department in Flushing for a check-up. Because he had to wait for a long time, Li Manrui asked him to go out for a walk, so Lin Zidan walked out of the clinic wrapped in a coat and went to the clinic in Flushing. Strolling aimlessly on Main Street.

In New York, in addition to Chinatown, the oldest downtown, there are also Brooklyn Eighth Avenue, where Fuzhou people are more concentrated, and Flushing Main Street, Queens, where Lin Zidan now strolls.

At that time, Main Street was far less lively than it was later. At that time, the crowd density was also very low, and the people coming and going were sparse. Most of them were mainly Latinos, Middle Easterners, Europeans and Africans.

However, as the third largest Chinese gathering area, Main Street had begun to take shape at that time. 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 Chinese Port Chinatown status.

Although Lin Zidan doesn't come often, but seeing the Chinese characters constantly appearing on the signboard, walking on this street will make you feel like returning to China in a trance. The crowd is not crowded, but you can feel home more than in Long Island. When the Chinese compatriots who do not know each other meet, they will look at each other with a friendly smile.

"Lin Zidan?" Suddenly he heard someone call his name, the voice sounded both familiar and unfamiliar, it was a clear female voice.

"Lin Zidan, it's really you!" When she got closer, Michelle smiled excitedly. Her dazzling dimples were cast in a seductive arc by the winter sun, shaking Lin Zidan. Slightly stunned.

"How could it be you?" Lin Zidan looked around and saw that Michelle had no other companions by her side.
