Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 71 Sending Flowers
It was the first time for Lao Dou's mother to trade stocks. She was so excited that she went out to the securities company early in the morning. But when she came back in the afternoon, she was no longer excited and looked tired.

"How is it? Old man, this is your first time stepping into the stock market. Do you feel that the money is rushing towards you like huge waves? It's exciting?" The second brother saw Old Man's mother coming back and didn't even look at the newspaper. He said excitedly.

The old man glanced at Kang Qirui who was reading a newspaper and said unhappily, "It was very exciting. Arui's mother-in-law screamed beside me for a whole day. I was afraid that she would jump into the fire and the money she picked up would be burned."

Kang Qirui, who was named, raised the newspaper higher, pretending he didn't hear anything. The old lady took over the complaints and said, "That's right, one moment it says it's going up, the next it's going down, one moment it's red, the next it's green. And what about the candlestick chart to buy the bottom, I don't know what she's talking about, I can't understand it at all."

Kang Qirui scratched his head and said, "Is that so? Then Daddy needs to use his brain to study and do his homework. Do you think you can make money without using your brain? If that's the case, Daddy won't have to work so hard."

"Yes, I bought STXX and held on to it for two years before I made two thousand eight hundred. You have to study it carefully to make money." The second brother spoke from his own experience, and after hearing that, the old man decided to buy some professional books on stock trading to study.

At night, Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling were counting their assets in their room. Zhu Wanling said with some concern, "Is this B-share really that profitable? Should we use all our money to invest in it?"

Kang Qirui sorted out some information and laughed: "You can definitely make money. Once B shares are fully open, the price will definitely soar. Don't worry. What we need to worry about now is how much we can make."

Zhu Wanling didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"

Kang Qirui replied: "Everyone knows that the price will go up, so everyone will definitely buy it. But how much can we buy? And how many Hong Kong dollars can we get? These are all problems."

"Okay." Zhu Wanling seemed to understand and asked, "How much money do we have now?"

"We invested 10 yuan for this big house, and we own 28% after the merger. We invested a total of 25 yuan for the two clothing stores, accounting for 45% of the shares. Guangzhou Metersbonwe used the money in the store's account and also followed the shares there. These things are not valuable now, but they will be valuable in 10 years, haha." Kang Qirui first took stock of the fixed assets.

Then he took out three passbooks and a bank card and said, "This passbook contains our wedding gift, dowry and red envelopes, a total of 113,000 yuan. And this is my salary, which I haven't touched much. Now there is 31,000 yuan. This is your salary, let me see it." Kang Qirui had never seen Zhu Wanling's salary passbook before. This was the first time he opened it. "Wow, more than 100,000 yuan? How come you are so rich?"

Zhu Wanling said as a matter of course: "I have been working for nine years. I basically didn't spend much money before. I either ate at the hospital or went home. I wore a uniform to work every day so I didn't buy much clothes. When I was sick, I had public medical care, and my mother paid for everything else."

Well, the double buff of the official system and local people in this era is really invincible. Basically, you don’t have to spend money on food, clothing, housing, and medical care, and you can save more than 90% of your monthly salary.

Zhu Wanling picked up the bank card and asked, "What about the share of the clothing store? The money in the passbooks adds up to about 25 yuan. Do I need to change this card?"

Kang Qirui hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Forget it, let's put the money in the card aside for now. I remember that there seems to be a limit on exchanging Hong Kong dollars. Although our money is definitely not enough to cover the limit, it's better to keep some for emergencies instead of putting it all in the stock market."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhu Wanling said gently. She trusted Kang Qirui unconditionally.

The next morning, Kang Qirui went to school for two classes. He had no classes in the afternoon. At noon, he went home to get his passbook and went to the bank to exchange it for Hong Kong dollars. When he got home and passed the dining room, he saw his parents discussing what stocks to buy.

"Uncle Liang bought some shares in Dashang, so let's buy some too," the old lady suggested.

"Da Shang? No, Da Shang, Da Shang, what we are most afraid of is that it will hurt our wallets." The old man immediately rejected it based on the name.

The old maid asked again, "Why don't we buy Shuanghu dye together with our in-laws?" Mrs. Zhu made some money from stocks these days, so the old maid wanted to buy some too.

"As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Two tigers will bite each other to death if they are not beaten to death. What will we do if we lose all our money?" The old man rejected the nanny's suggestion again based on the name. Kang Qirui, who was nearby, laughed when he heard it.

Kang Qirui couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are you picking stocks or fortune telling? If you pick stocks the way you do, then can listed companies keep rising just by changing their names to nicer ones?"

"Hey, what do you care about me?" The old man got angry and said, "Why did you come back so early if you don't work properly? I tell you, you have to work properly."

Kang Qirui quickly interrupted his father's spellcasting: "I came back to get something, I have something else to do, I'll leave first. You two can take your time to choose." Kang Qirui left first, he didn't expect the two elders to make money anyway.

When Kang Qirui went home for dinner in the evening, his father was still researching which stocks to buy. He picked up an analysis book and asked Kang Qirui, "Ah Rui, take a look at the analysis of this expert in this book. He said that ST Nanyao is worth holding. Do you think you can believe it?"

"ST Nanyao? Let me see." Kang Qirui took the analysis book from his father, but he felt regretful. He had been busy lately, so why did he forget about this bull stock? He flipped through the book for a while before saying, "The analysis says that this company is transforming into the production of health products and biological drugs recently. In the future, it is likely to divest some commercial assets through major asset restructuring. It is expected to achieve profitability by the end of this year and is expected to remove the ST label next year."

"The current share price is more than 14 yuan, and there is indeed a lot of room for growth." In Kang Qirui's memory, this ST Nanyao really realized their plan, and finally became the first listed company to take off the ST hat in 02. The peak share price reached more than 25 yuan, and you can still make a profit if you buy it now.

"Really? Then I'll buy this. Let's eat." Dad decided to buy ST Nanyao. After dinner, the family gathered in the living room to watch TV. Watching "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" together after dinner is a regular program for the Kang family. The version starring Wu Xiaobai is considered a classic among all the versions.

After the TV show ended, it was already late. Everyone yawned, except for the big brother Guang and Xianglan. "Did you guys make an appointment?" the old lady asked.

"Why are we yawning together?" The second sister-in-law was also very curious, and after she said that, she yawned again.

The second brother said, "This is called husband and wife following suit. The husband beats his wife after she finishes beating him. Ah Chan, let's go to bed." The second brother took his second sister-in-law Tian Xiu back to bed. Before Tian Xiu returned to her room, she curiously asked, "Why didn't the uncle and aunt beat him together?"

"Yeah, why didn't we fight together?" Big Brother Guang was also very curious.

"Boss, this is called not enough, you still need to work hard." Kang Qirui said and went back to the room with Zhu Wanling. A Yao and Xingzi also stood up and said as they walked: "You are the last one to get married here, and you still say that you are not enough."

The boss felt uncomfortable just hearing this. He was already depressed because he had been married for a year without having a child. Now Kang Qirui, who got married the latest, was making fun of his married life.

"Oh, I went to bed early. I will play a few games with my chess friends tomorrow." Dou also stood up.

"No, you have to accompany me to climb Baiyun Mountain tomorrow." The old lady was dissatisfied. "Baiyun Mountain? Let's go." The old man had no objection. His wife said that we can climb the mountain. "Then go back to sleep." The old man and the mother also went back to the room.

When Da Lao Guang saw that everyone had left, he looked at Xiang Lan and pretended to yawn. He wanted to prove that he could follow the example of his wife. "Hmm?" Xiang Lan couldn't understand Da Lao Guang's behavior. "Ha-" Da Lao Guang sat closer and yawned again.

Xianglan covered her nose and said, "You have bad breath, go wash your teeth and rinse your mouth." Then she went back to her room in disgust. While brushing his teeth, the boss was still thinking: Is it really not good enough?

The next day, when she was cooking in the afternoon, a child knocked on the door and brought in a few yellow flowers, then ran away after putting them down. Xianglan took the flowers and asked, "Who are these for?"

"I know, these flowers are called Xianglan." The old woman pointed at the flowers in Xianglan's hand and said, "Of course the Xianglan flowers should be given to Xianglan."

A Yao nodded and sighed, "I never thought that the boss, who is usually so honest, would do such a romantic thing."

"It must be that the boss was told by us yesterday that he was not good enough, so he decided to practice the romantic method." Kang Qirui also joked.

Xianglan was embarrassed by what everyone said, but she was also very happy. At this time, the eldest brother, the second brother, and Azu walked into the house together. Xianglan put down the flowers, went back to the room, took out the slippers, put them in front of the eldest brother Guang, and whispered softly: "Husband, change your shoes."

Everyone was stunned by this affectionate look. The big boss just enjoyed the envious looks and changed into his slippers with a smile. However, Xianglan could not stand the looks from everyone. She said, "What are you looking at? You're making me blush." ​​and went back to her room.

"Boss, you're awesome." Kang Qirui gave the boss a thumbs up.

"That's right, boss. I didn't expect you to be so romantic." A Yao also gave a thumbs up.

"Ah?" The eldest brother was confused. He had no idea what his brothers were talking about. The second brother was also confused. He asked, "What's going on? What are you talking about? Why did the eldest sister-in-law change her personality today?"

"I'm telling you." Just as Kang Qirui was about to say something, Xianglan came out again. "It's time to eat, where are you going?" Da Laoguang quickly stopped Xianglan who was walking out the door. "I'm going to buy some roast meat." Xianglan's voice was as sweet as a fairy.

"Boss, you are really awesome. You won my sister-in-law's heart with just a bouquet of flowers." Kang Qirui continued to praise the boss when he saw Xianglan leaving.

"What? What flowers?" Da Lao Guang didn't know what Kang Qirui was talking about, and went back to his room to change clothes. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a plate of yellow flowers on the dressing table, and he understood what Kang Qirui and A Yao were talking about.

The boss took out one flower and asked everyone, "Does anyone know who sent this flower?"

"Boss, do you want it? You're just pretending." A Yao thought that Boss was asking this on purpose. After saying that, A Yao walked into the dining room and waited for the meal to start. He didn't want to see Boss showing off.

"Boss, isn't this from you? A little kid just said that an uncle gave it to Xianglan." Kang Qirui said puzzledly.

"What? An uncle gave it to Xianglan?" The eldest brother Guang suddenly became nervous. "Boss, this is not from you?" The second brother looked gossipy.

"No." The big boss just shook his head.

"Then" Er Lao and A Zu looked at each other and said, "That's what other men gave to the eldest sister-in-law."

“This means that there is a man who has a crush on my sister-in-law,” A-Zu analyzed.

Big Brother Guang suddenly shouted nervously, "Someone has a crush on Xianglan?"

"It's normal. My sister-in-law is young and beautiful. It's not impossible." The second brother nodded, agreeing with A Zu's words.
