Two years later!
Located on the 18th floor of a high-end commercial building in Xujiahui, there is an office area of ​​approximately several hundred square meters.
This is the office location of a company called Chenxing Financial.
Chenxing Finance was naturally founded by Zhou Chen. He has been enrolled in school for two years now and started working on his own during his freshman year.
However, funds were limited at that time. I only had red envelopes from my parents during the New Year and holidays, plus my own savings, which amounted to less than 20,000 yuan.
Zhou Chen relied on this capital of less than 20,000 yuan to start investing in the stock market.
After a few years, Zhou Chen has become very familiar with the stock market. He started to pay attention to the stock market very early. After he got to college, he started trading in stocks.
However, my luck was not very good at the beginning. In the first month, I lost a lot of capital with less than 20,000 yuan. It was only in the second month that I started to steadily improve.
The stock market is very profitable, but only a handful of people can make money.
And for people like Zhou Chen with small capital, it's okay to make a little money, but if you want to make big money, it's almost impossible unless you have a huge opportunity.
But Zhou Chen is not in a hurry, he is still waiting for the opportunity, because he knows that starting in 2007, the curtain of a financial crisis sweeping the world will slowly begin.
From that moment on, he began to make crazy money from the stock market.
Two years later, Zhou Chen has made a lot of money from the financial crisis, mainly because his original capital was relatively small, but even so, in the second half of this year, his net worth exceeded 300 million.
After turning eighteen, Zhou Chen established Chenxing Financial and rented the current area.
This large-scale financial crisis is still not over yet. Chenxing Financial, which he established, mainly deals with stock markets, securities, investments, etc.
Nowadays, Chenxing Financial has dozens of employees, but most of them are tool workers, working according to Zhou Chen's instructions and looking for investment opportunities.
"Boss, according to your instructions, the network has been closed. This time, the total profit is 37 million."
Wang Bing stood in front of his desk with a very respectful attitude.
Wang Bing, who has been engaged in the financial industry for more than ten years, has been completely overwhelmed by Zhou Chen's ability in the past few months since he was poached by Zhou Chen with a high salary.
If there really is a genius in this world, he thinks it must be his genius boss.
At the age of eighteen, he is still just a child in the eyes of many people, but Zhou Chen has relied on his own abilities to earn wealth that countless people cannot imagine.
Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "I understand. You have worked hard during this period. Please inform the finance department that each person will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan. Except for the necessary personnel, others can rest for a few days."
"Thank you boss."
Wang Bing responded happily.
Although Chenxing Financial has only been established for half a year, its profits are absolutely amazing. Zhou Chen's salary is also high and he also pays bonuses from time to time, so it is very popular.
"For the next period of time, you will help me look after the company. I have other things to do during this time."
The financial crisis has come to an end, and Zhou Chen is no longer ready to continue harvesting wool, but is preparing to start other industries.
After leaving the company, Zhou Chen was about to go back to school when he suddenly received a call from his mother, Sun Yi.
"Mom, why are you calling me at this time?"
During the two years he was studying in Shanghai, Sun Yi would call him every other day, but they were basically called at night, and they rarely called him during the day.
"Xiaochen, your dad and I have arrived in Shanghai. We will be at your school soon and have lunch together."
"Mom, why did you and dad suddenly come to Shanghai? Why didn't you notify me so I could send a car to pick you up?"
Zhou Chen was very surprised by the arrival of his parents. Although they had come to see him in the city before, most of them had said hello in advance. It was really the first time for them to arrive suddenly and silently like this.
"Isn't this a surprise for you? Besides, we are going to the Magic City this time not just to see you, but also to do something very important."
Zhou Chen: "If you have anything to do, just tell me and I'll do it for you. Where are you now? I'll drive to take you."
"No, we will be at your school soon. Just wait for us at the gate."
"All right."
Zhou Chen waited at the school gate for twenty minutes when he saw a taxi driving over. His parents got out of the taxi and waved to him.
"Dad, Mom."
Zhou Chen quickly greeted him.
When Sun Yi saw Zhou Chen coming, she immediately hugged him, then grabbed his shoulders and kept looking at him.
"My son has grown up and become more and more handsome. Xiaochen, are there any girls chasing you at school?"
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, what are you thinking about? Most of the classmates in the class are two or three years older than me. They are very nice to me and there are no more people chasing me."
Sun Yi: "If you are in the same class, you can find someone in the lower class. My son is so handsome and smart. People will like him even if he is seven or eight years older, let alone two or three years older."
In her eyes, her son Zhou Chen is the most handsome in the world, and he is worthy of any woman.
Zhou Guofu said: "Let's go, let's sit down in a restaurant and talk slowly."
Zhou Chen: "Dad, I have already made a reservation for someone. A car will come to pick us up in a few minutes. Just wait a few minutes."
"A car has been arranged? Where did you get the car?" Zhou Guofu asked in surprise.
Zhou Chen said: "Dad, I have made some money recently and opened a small company. The car is allocated to the company."
"Earned from stock trading?"
Zhou Guofu knew about Zhou Chen's stock trading, because when Zhou Chen went home for the holidays, he often looked at stocks on his computer, and he often looked at stocks with him when he had nothing to do.
It's just that his money is strictly guarded, and he wants to speculate in stocks, but he doesn't have the funds.
"Well, almost."
No matter how he made money, Sun Yike was filled with pride when he heard that his son had made money and started a company: "My son is really awesome. We are going to stay in Shanghai for two days this time. Can you take us to your company when you have time?"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course there is no problem, but parents, this is not a holiday. How come you have time to come here? Are you planning to stay for two days?"
Sun Yi smiled mysteriously: "Of course there is something important. I will tell you later during dinner."
"Okay, let's go have dinner first, and you can stay in the house I rent at night. It's always cleaned, so it's very clean."
Although he was in college, Zhou Chen himself rented a house next to the school, with two bedrooms and one living room, which was enough to live in even if his parents came. The Zhou family and his wife used to live there when they came here.
At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove over and stopped in front of Zhou Chen and the others. The driver quickly opened the door and got out.
"boss."
"Dad, Mom, the car is here, let's get in first."
Zhou Chen pulled his parents into the car. After getting in the car, Zhou Guofu couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say you want to open a small company? Isn't this car cheap?"
"It's okay. When running a company now, all you need is face, and the car is also for good looks."
Sun Yi said happily: "Old Zhou, why are you asking so many questions? Our son has become promising, we should be happy, why are you asking here and there?"
She really dotes on Zhou Chen. As a teacher, she knows very well that children cannot be doted on, but when it comes to herself, she can't control it at all and she dotes on Zhou Chen to the extreme.
In other words, Zhou Chen was precocious and had lived for many years. If he were an ordinary child, he would most likely be spoiled.
"Xiaochen, your dad and I came to Shanghai this time. In addition to seeing you, we also have one more thing to do. We bought a house in Shanghai."
"What?"
Zhou Chen's eyes widened and he looked at his parents in shock: "Did you buy a house in Shanghai? Why didn't you tell me what happened? Do you have enough money?"
Sun Yi smiled and said: "Your father and I have saved a lot of money over the years, and we have mortgaged two houses at home, which is just enough to buy one in Shanghai."
As a couple, one is a university professor and the other is a high school dean. They both have high salaries and good benefits. They originally owned two houses.
In recent years, Zhou Chen's schooling has been almost free and cost nothing at all, so the family has been able to save money.
The current housing prices in Shanghai are not low, but they are not prepared to buy the best location, so they took out mortgages on their two houses, and with the money on hand, they have just enough to buy a new house.
Zhou Chen said helplessly: "Mom, if you want to buy a house, just tell me. There is no need to mortgage the house in your hometown. I will just buy one for you."
Zhou Guofu said: "Your mother and I are not old yet. We don't need you to spend money to buy us a house. You can use the money you earn yourself. The two of us can't spend much money on food and drink. Your mother only thinks about how to spend money after retirement."
I went to Shanghai to accompany you, so we bought a house in Shanghai."
Zhou Chen was moved and grabbed his mother's hand: "Mom, you are so good to me, I don't know how to repay you."
Sun Yi said: "What do we want from you in return? As long as you are happy, we will be happy. After dinner later, we will take you there to have a look. However, the house we bought is off-plan and we can't see the house yet."
"Mom, where did you buy it? What's the name of the neighborhood?"
"It seems to be called Ode to Joy. We thought the name sounded pretty good and the location was good, so we decided on it."
