Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 452: America Is Paved with Gold (Part 2)



After all, if you have a choice, who would find someone as old as your own father.

On the way to help Su Qing with the formalities, a few people exchanged contact details, and Zhang Tianze mentioned that Brother Dong will come to New York in a few days.

By then, everyone could have a meal together.

Zhou Yuwen asked Zhang Tianze where she was currently staying.

This question caught Zhang Tianze off guard; she didn't know how to answer at first.

Primarily, she was living in a host family before, and later stayed at Liu Dong's villa.

How should she explain this?

Luckily, before she could say anything, Zhou Yuwen explained, "Oh, it's like this, I'm currently looking for a place for Su Qing. I thought if it's convenient, maybe you could let Su Qing stay with you."

"Well, I'm currently living in Brother Dong's villa. But Brother Dong doesn't come often. If you all don't mind, Su Qing can stay with me." Zhang Tianze suggested.

Zhou Yuwen said, "That might be inconvenient."

"It's not inconvenient at all."

"Where is your villa located?"

Zhang Tianze said it was in the Upper East Side, not far from here, and convenient for school.

Zhou Yuwen then asked if there were any properties for sale near her villa.

"I haven't looked into it, but if you want to buy, I can connect you with Brother Dong's contact." Zhang Tianze said.

Zhou Yuwen said that if so, that would be perfect.

"Are you planning to buy a place too?"

"Probably, this way you and Su Qing can be neighbors, and I'll feel at ease." Zhou Yuwen said with a smile.

Zhang Tianze couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't know why, but being trusted by you feels really good."

Zhou Yuwen smiled as well.

The four of them went together to help Su Qing complete the formalities.

Then Zhang Tianze planned to show Su Qing around the school environment while Zhou Yuwen said he had other things to do with Lu Wanting, and the group split.

The luxury car rented from the hotel was left for Su Qing, while Zhou Yuwen drove his newly bought Lamborghini to take Lu Wanting for other matters.

The first thing was to bring back Su Qing's luggage from the host family to the hotel.

According to Zhou Yuwen's latest plan, he would buy a villa near where Zhang Tianze lives, and stay in a hotel until then.

"So, the host family I found isn't needed?" Lu Wanting asked from the passenger seat.

Zhou Yuwen replied, it's not that it's unused.

"Wasn't the luggage stored there for just a day?"

Lu Wanting shrugged upon hearing this — being rich really allows for whims.

However, Lu Wanting felt she should gently remind Zhou Yuwen that New York is a money-driven society, but the prerequisite is having enough money in hand.

Sixty million might sound like a lot.

But so far, Zhou Yuwen had spent close to two million just for Su Qing's enrollment and buying a luxury car.

He would still need money for a villa.

The Upper East Side, which Zhang Tianze mentioned, is a well-known affluent area in New York. Conservatively, a house costs about three million US dollars, equivalent to twenty-four million yuan.

"I think you should consider it carefully." Lu Wanting said.

"So expensive..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuwen couldn't help but remark that he really hadn't expected it to be so pricey.

But it didn't matter; the reason he called Lu Wanting out this time was to make money.

America is filled with opportunities. Although Zhou Yuwen might not know much about this developed country across the ocean, given enough time, he could definitely become wealthy here faster than back home. Moreover, Bitcoin is only twenty dollars each now, but in ten years, it could break a hundred thousand US dollars.

Or more reliably, even investing in NVIDIA stocks could multiply 220 times in ten years.

There are so many opportunities to make money here, but unfortunately, Zhou Yuwen's capital was too small; otherwise, going to Musk to study Tesla would also be a good choice now.

It's just that Musk might not be interested in Zhou Yuwen right now.

In 2014, the first Tesla had entered the Eastern market. Although old Musk hadn't become the richest man globally yet, he wasn't far from it. Now he's researching rocket propulsion daily, thinking about retiring on an alien planet in the future.

Interestingly enough, back in the day, when Zhou Yuwen saw this news during this time, he thought it was just a joke. At that time, both domestically and internationally, the situation was chaotic.

Domestically, various internet companies were in turmoil, especially Boss Ma from Hangzhou, who reaped the first wave of corporate stardom dividends, giving speeches everywhere with great flair. He even made a movie and hosted a concert, flaunting exaggerated images, playing rock with a bass.

Even the real estate tycoon Boss Wang, already over fifty, went on stage to sing "Heavenly Match."

It seemed all business moguls were competing with celebrities for attention, always seeking the limelight.

Yet ten years later, few of those ostentatious entrepreneurs still appeared in public settings.

On the contrary, that foreign fellow named Ma has become the first Regent King of North America, One-Word Shoulder King!

The nonsense dream of retiring on Mars from the past might one day come true.

Of course, Zhou Yuwen wanted to latch onto Musk, but unfortunately, his funds were too small. Besides, Zhou Yuwen preferred quick investment returns, and Musk evidently had to lie low for a while.

So, after much consideration, Zhou Yuwen opted for Wall Street.

After all, he used to write rebirth novels.

Occasionally boasting in novels, like buying certain US stocks and seeing them soar.

As luck would have it, Zhou Yuwen did have some insights on US stocks during the 2014 period.

For example, the renowned Apple Company underwent a stock split in June 2014, dropping from 690 US dollars to 90 US dollars, a difference of sixfold. Coming to America this time, Zhou Yuwen didn't bring much money, utilizing various channels; in fact, he could only pull out about five hundred thousand bucks.

Zhou Yuwen aimed to earn as much as possible within half a month.

Besides Apple, which had a significant price difference in 2014, others like Coca-Cola and General Group also had large price differences.

But the best performers were a few domestic companies listed in the US, like Yiche and JD.com, both had good results; Yiche rose approximately 1.3 times, JD.com rose by forty percent.

Of course, the one that made the most was Vipshop, which made its fortune from women.

In merely a year, its stock increased from the IPO price of four dollars to 229 dollars, multiplying fifty times.

Regarding investing in US stocks, Zhou Yuwen had discussed it with Lu Wanting half a month ago.

But Lu Wanting didn't recommend Zhou Yuwen buy US stocks.

Lu Wanting said, unlike domestically, at least there's a price limit mechanism, only allowing volatility of up to ten percent daily, whereas internationally, there's no limit.

Meaning, it could potentially crash in a day.

Zhou Yuwen laughed upon hearing this and said, "Well, it might go to the top as well."

Seeing Zhou Yuwen insist on buying, Lu Wanting, helpless, could only contact a classmate abroad responsible for stock trading.

After arranging everything concerning Su Qing, Lu Wanting took Zhou Yuwen to Wall Street. On the way, Lu Wanting also asked Zhou Yuwen why he insisted on buying stocks abroad since the A-share market was also okay now.

"Didn't experts say a bull market is coming?"

Zhou Yuwen nodded, truly believing so. In 2015, there indeed was a rare bull market, but Zhou Yuwen had already invested forty million in A-shares. Being in the domestic market, he felt somewhat restrained. Fighting hard might not necessarily multiply by tenfold in a week.

But abroad, it's different.

As they say, life or death is fate, wealth is by fortune!

The dynamic Wall Street.

Zhou Yuwen decided to put all his five hundred thousand US dollars in, leveraging with capital and short-selling! Wouldn't he gain several dozen times in a week?

By then, not just an Upper East Side villa, but even Musk's Mars colonization — Zhou Yuwen might well lend him a helping hand.
