After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 913 - 488: Charisma

Huo Jindong's respect, even flattery, towards Chen Feng was obvious to everyone present.

Chen Feng felt a bit helpless about this since he knew that Huo Jindong must have misunderstood him, thinking he had an extraordinary background. Otherwise, he couldn't understand why Huo Jindong was treating him with such reverence.

"Mr. Huo, you're exaggerating. I wouldn't say I see money as dirt; I just don't value it that much. I think as long as I have enough to spend, that's enough. Too much money becomes a burden and a hassle, even a source of trouble."

What Chen Feng said was quite sincere. Since people were treating him honestly, he couldn't pretend otherwise.

However, the words that were pleasant to Huo Jindong and the others were nowhere to be found.

Because they didn't internally agree with what Chen Feng said—what does it mean, "as long as you have enough to spend"? A person who says such a thing is either being hypocritical or simply isn't capable of earning more money?

This time, Huo Jindong didn't speak, and it was Tao Yaoyang who spoke first, saying with a smile, "I still think the more money, the better. Of course, the premise is that this money ends up securely in your pocket. In any business, the most important thing is to secure the bag. Also, it's better for wealth to be in the hands of people like us who know how to reasonably consume and use it, compared to being in the hands of those nouveau riches."

Huo Jindong laughed as well and said, "For me, money and wealth are two different concepts. Personally, I don't value money very much, but I value wealth. I really enjoy the process of wealth investment, accumulation, and redistribution."

Tang Xinyi also joined in with a laugh, saying, "I'm quite vulgar. I love money and hope to have more and more of it. This way, I can buy anything I like and live the high-quality life I want. At the same time, it allows more people to recognize and respect me."

Chen Feng glanced at her and said calmly, "It's not that the more money you have, the more people respect you."

Tang Xinyi immediately retorted, "But if you have no money, you definitely won't be respected."

Chen Feng smiled and didn't argue with her further. Ever since he deliberately kept a distance from her last time, she held some resentment towards him.

"You all have your points," Tao Yaoyang stepped in to mediate and changed the topic to ask Chen Feng, "Have you been trading stocks recently?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "Not really."

The last time, for Tian Xiaoman's matter, he spent a few thousand yuan on a stock, mainly as a favor to Qin Zhen's aunt.

It had been some days since he bought it, and he almost forgot about it.

Tao Yaoyang seemed to casually mention, "There's been a very strong stock these days, hitting the daily limit several times. It's called Xianglong Power. Many people have joined in buying it. A friend recommended that I buy some too, but I'm still hesitant. Chen Feng, didn't you say you made quite a bit from stocks before? Why don't you give me some advice?"

Chen Feng's eyebrows moved slightly; he remembered the stock he bought back in his hometown was probably this Xianglong Power, since the name was quite memorable. He spent around sixty thousand yuan on it.

If Tao Yaoyang hadn't brought it up now, he truly wouldn't know when he would think of it again.

However, Tao Yaoyang bringing up this stock now somewhat surprised Chen Feng; it seemed a bit too coincidental.

"What advice could I give? Trading stocks is like gambling; an average person can hardly control wins and losses. Especially for a small investor like me, making money is very difficult. We're all like crops for those big players to harvest. Wanting to take the profits and stop, grabbing food from the big players—there are successful examples, but very few. So if you want to trade stocks and win steadily—or rather win more and lose less—you must closely follow the big players, or better yet, join their side."

Hearing this, Huo Jindong immediately praised, "Mr. Chen sees things clearly. The stock market is too risky, and even I generally wouldn't participate. For small investors wanting to make money, especially big money, in the stock market, it's very difficult because human nature is greedy. Once people start making money, they want to continue making more, and some even feel like they're possessed by the Stock God when they make money. The end is never good, losing everything including their pants."

Tao Yaoyang smiled faintly, "You both make very good points. However, if someone can get hold of genuine insider information, trading stocks is like grabbing money, and it's still legal. That's impressive."

Huo Jindong's expression slightly changed to seriousness, "Insider trading is illegal; it's something you can talk about but not do because many have ended up in trouble for it."

At these words, Tao Yaoyang immediately nodded, "Of course. I'm just talking. Even if I had the chance to get some insider information on a listed company, there's no guarantee the stock would continuously rise without falling. I don't have that ability."

Chen Feng felt there was more to Tao Yaoyang's words, but he didn't bother to guess, so he changed the topic and asked about the tea gathering they were attending tonight.

Actually, it was a social event for the investment circle to exchange information and resources, attended by real professional investors like Huo Jindong and people like Tao Yaoyang and Tang Xinyi who were there to network and learn.

Though it was a small gathering, nearly a hundred people attended, making it quite lively.

Seeing Chen Feng's interest, Huo Jindong took the initiative to introduce it to him in detail, which satisfied Chen Feng's curiosity very well.

Then, not long after, the health porridge they had ordered was served, and everyone started eating, so they didn't talk much.

After they finished their porridge and chatted a bit more, it was almost midnight.

So no more activities were arranged, and they bid each other farewell. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Before leaving, Huo Jindong firmly shook Chen Feng's hand, holding his right hand while his left hand was on Chen Feng's arm, and meaningfully said, "I'm heading back to Beijing tomorrow. If you come to Beijing next time, make sure to notify me so I can show you around to the best of my ability. Also, I'll introduce you to some good friends who might be helpful to you."

Chen Feng found the words a bit baffling, but didn't show it; he simply smiled and nodded slightly.

Only then was Huo Jindong satisfied, patting Chen Feng's arm lightly with his left hand as he smiled and left.

Chen Feng stood up to escort him to the staircase, watched him descend, waved goodbye, and then returned to the rooftop.

"Are you all finished?" Chen Feng asked Wu Mengting and the other three women.

"Not yet," Lu Sijia responded; they were eating slower because they spent several minutes taking pictures before starting.

Seeing this, Chen Feng sat down to wait.

At this moment, Kang Cheng, who hadn't left yet, came over to Chen Feng with a smile, slightly bending over, and respectfully asked, "Bro, do you also know Brother Tao?"

Before when Kang Cheng greeted Tao Yaoyang, Chen Feng hadn't yet arrived and didn't see, so he was somewhat surprised and looked at Kang Cheng, asking in return, "Do you know him?"
