After the market closed, investors across the entire network and market were in a joyous mood.
At this time, Su Yi, at Lin Minghui's invitation, had arrived at a high-end Chinese restaurant near the Financial District.
"Oh, Old Lin, you invited me to dinner, but why did you bring a kid?"
In the private room of the restaurant, after Su, Lin, and Deng chatted for a while, a middle-aged man, obviously a bit plump, with a shiny bald head and a bright gold chain around his neck, suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.
He looked at the unfamiliar Su Yi with some surprise and said with a smile,
"This kid... is he a younger relative of yours?"
"A kid?"
Lin Minghui paused for a moment, then chuckled,
"Don't underestimate him. Your 'Yinghui Finance' company has so many clients coming and going for capital allocation. There shouldn't be many who can take over 7 million in profit with just 150,000 in principal in just a few days, right?"
The bald man subconsciously replied,
"What kind of joke is that? 150,000 in principal, wanting to take over 7 million in profit in just a few days? Do you really think the stock market is an ATM? Oh... no, not even a money printing machine could do that."
"Impossible?"
Lin Minghui teased.
Seeing Lin Minghui's expression, and then thinking carefully about a few major events that had recently occurred at his company, the bald man finally understood and exclaimed,
"The one who took over 7 million in profit from my company a while ago was this... kid?"
"What do you mean 'took over 7 million in profit from your company'?"
Lin Minghui emphasized,
"That was Su brother's own earnings from the market, wasn't it? In fact, you even earned over 200,000 in interest income from him. If you ask me... that's what 'taking' is. You're just taking advantage and acting innocent."
"Su brother?"
The bald man said in surprise,
"When did this kid become like your own brother?"
Lin Minghui said with a smile,
"People I, Lin Minghui, admire and respect are naturally treated as my own brothers. Is there a problem with that?"
Saying that, Lin Minghui hurriedly introduced the bald man to Su Yi.
"Su brother, this is the owner of 'Yinghui Finance' company, Lu Houde, President Lu."
Lin Minghui said,
"This guy is a wealthy local. If you ever need money in the future, just find him."
Lu Houde said,
"How can I be as rich and powerful as you, Old Lin? I'm just... a capital middleman, a matchmaker for those who need money, and I collect a small commission. The actual capital belongs to other bigwigs and institutions; it has nothing to do with me."
"Hello, President Lu!"
Su Yi knew the other party was being modest, so he stood up and extended his hand to greet him.
Lu Houde carefully sized up Su Yi, then reached out and shook his hand briefly, saying,
"A young man Old Lin admires must be extraordinary. It seems... I'll have to call you 'Su brother' too."
"Oh, it's so lively today?"
Just as Su Yi finished greeting Lu Houde, the private room door was pushed open again by a middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt and a crew cut.
"Old Lin, Old Deng, Old Lu, you're all here! Looks like today's a big day."
Lin Minghui glanced at the arriving middle-aged man and said,
"Old Lei, you're late today. You'll have to drink three penalty cups later."
"How can being one minute late count?"
The middle-aged man chuckled, but his gaze fell upon Su Yi.
There was a clear question in his eyes.
Without waiting for him to ask, Lin Minghui introduced,
"This young Su brother is a friend Old Deng and I recently got to know."
"The young brother is very young,"
The middle-aged man said.
"Ambition doesn't depend on age,"
Lin Minghui replied, then turned to Su Yi and introduced,
"This President Lei is the Vice President of 'Jingcheng Holdings' Group. Although President Lei isn't a big shot in the financial industry, he's very good at analyzing the national economic structure and macro-economic trends.
Moreover, President Lei also graduated from Modu University of Finance and Economics, just about seventeen or eighteen years earlier than you, Su brother."
"Jingcheng Holdings?"
Su Yi was slightly surprised.
He knew this was a local Modu real estate development company, quite large in scale, and several of its developed properties were in the core areas of Modu.
Furthermore, the company had completed its Hong Kong stock listing, boasting a market value of several billion.
Of course, compared to the company's market performance in later years, after it expanded aggressively on the back of rising housing prices and successfully listed on the A-share market.
Its current valuation of several billion was nothing in comparison.
"Haha, I didn't expect to meet a junior alumnus here!"
President Lei laughed heartily and proactively extended his hand to Su Yi, without any airs.
"Hello, junior alumnus!"
Su Yi quickly stood up, shook the other's hand, and said, "Hello, senior alumnus."
Graduating from the same school naturally brought the two closer.
So, after the two sat down again, President Lei began to inquire about Su Yi's basic situation.
When he heard that Su Yi had earned over 20 million in profit with only 150,000 in principal within half a month, even President Lei, who was well-informed, was stunned and had to look at Su Yi with new respect.
After that... the banquet began.
President Lei couldn't help but discuss topics with Su Yi about macroeconomics, and the future of real estate and the housing market.
Based on his knowledge of the actual development trends of real estate and the housing market in the coming years, combined with current policies and macroeconomic trends, Su Yi made several judgments.
President Lei slammed the table in deep agreement, feeling as if he had only met Su Yi much too late.
However, when Su Yi stated that with the future decline in birth rate, the basic completion of urbanization, and significant changes in population structure, the ultimate fate of the real estate industry would not be very promising.
President Lei, however, clearly put forward an opposing view.
He believed that the vision of pursuing a better life was ingrained in everyone, and that even with fluctuations and cycles, the real estate industry's ultimate outcome would definitely be beautiful.
Lin Minghui watched the two of them, either laughing heartily and appreciating each other, or arguing fiercely and refusing to yield.
He felt it was quite surreal.
After everyone finished dinner, Lin Minghui saw that they were still enjoying themselves, so he booked a large room at 'Golden Sunshine' and took them there.
'Golden Sunshine' was a famous lavish nightlife spot in Modu.
However, even if it was a lavish spot.
For Lin Minghui, spending a hundred thousand or even several hundred thousand on friends for a single night was just a trifle.
Before his rebirth, Su Yi was just a diligent, honest trader at a large institution and didn't frequent such places.
When he saw Lin Minghui sitting on the sofa in the private room, holding a wine glass, swirling a bottle of red wine worth 100,000 in his hand, and with a grand wave of his hand, batches of top-tier beauties were replaced before his eyes, he was still quite shocked internally.
"Xiao Liu, how come the quality here is getting worse and worse?"
After several batches, none of them were satisfactory, so Lin Minghui couldn't help but complain to the bowing manager,
"With this kind of quality, I'll just go to another place. How come your President Tong's management is getting worse?"
"I apologize, President Lin, I... I'll immediately get you a new batch."
The manager's forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat when he saw the VIP client was displeased.
"I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
After speaking, the manager exited.
Then, after about a few minutes, the manager led a new batch of beauties in.
Lin Minghui raised his eyes and scanned them, noticing that this batch indeed looked less "worldly" and was genuinely prettier.
He couldn't help but nod slightly and said,
"Barely acceptable. You gentlemen pick first, and I'll choose from the rest."
Hearing Lin Minghui's words.
Deng, Lu, and Lei each chose one person according to their own aesthetics.
Su Yi waved his hand, about to say never mind, but his gaze shifted, and he suddenly spotted a familiar figure among the girls who had just entered.
For a moment, he was stunned.
