Chapter 379 Insider Trading

"Miss Nie, are you sure these people are really stock gods?"

Han Tianlin asked with a sneer.

"Aren't they? They have millions of fans. If they weren't stock gods, how could they have so many fans?"

Nie Xiaosu retorted.

"Miss Nie, this society today is one where traffic is king. Every industry values traffic and fans. However, one thing we must be clear about is that there's a distinction between real traffic and fake traffic. Real traffic means millions of fans are genuine and highly active. But some traffic is fake; millions of fans are purchased zombie followers with low activity. This kind of traffic is fake. There was a news report about fake traffic and zombie followers. A certain company spent millions to hire so-called million-fan influencers for live-streaming sales, but they only sold 64 yuan worth of goods."

Chen Feng explained patiently.

"You mean these stock gods are all built on fake traffic?"

Nie Xiaosu asked.

"There's no need to doubt it! Let's put it this way: if the title 'stock god' meant anything, you'd know there are no stock gods in this world. Even if there were, they wouldn't be giving lectures everywhere."

Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Continue."

Nie Xiaosu urged Chen Feng to go on.

"Miss Nie, think about it. If they were real stock gods, could we assume that they could turn ten thousand into a hundred thousand, then a hundred thousand into a million, then a million into ten million... and so on? Would a stock god who makes money like that have time to constantly post stock god pronouncements? Would they have time to teach you stock trading hand-in-hand? Most importantly, would they reveal their money-making secrets? It's like asking if you would reveal the secret to how Hongfeng Electronics Factory makes money."

Chen Feng's series of rhetorical questions made Nie Xiaosu instantly understand.

"Chen Feng, I never expected you to understand the stock market so deeply. I am a thousand times impressed. Alright, let's proceed with your plan to counter-attack Qin Feng. By the way, select a few potential stocks. How long will it take?"

Nie Xiaosu asked excitedly.

"A week."

Chen Feng replied calmly.

"What? A week? Isn't that too long?"

Nie Xiaosu was taken aback.

"Miss Nie, didn't I tell you before? The Chinese stock market has a completely different mechanism than Western stock markets, so it takes a week to select a few so-called potential stocks. Moreover, these so-called potential stocks selected are only superficially potential stocks that can only earn small amounts of money in the short term. If you are unwilling to sell, you will eventually lose money."

Chen Feng explained.

"Okay, a week it is. You have the next week off."

Nie Xiaosu readily agreed.

At the same time, she also admired Chen Feng's pragmatism.

Most people in such a situation would brag and reply that they could find several potential stocks within a day to showcase their strong stock trading ability.

Chen Feng was not like that; he was factual. Even if the week-long stock selection process might make others think his stock trading ability was not good, he still insisted on it.

Thus, Chen Feng confined himself to his suite, analyzing the recent changes in the Chinese stock market day and night.

Soon, a week passed, and Chen Feng selected five potential stocks.

When Nie Xiaosu saw the list of these five potential stocks, she was thrilled.

Four of the five potential stocks had recently hit their daily lower limit.

Even she, who didn't trade stocks, knew that these four stocks were junk stocks, so how could they be potential stocks?

"Chen Feng, did you analyze it incorrectly? Among the five potential stocks, four have been continuously hitting their daily lower limit for the past month. Anyone knows these are junk stocks."

Nie Xiaosu asked truthfully.

"Miss Nie, the Chinese stock market is very profound, and it's hard to explain in a short time. In fact, there's no need to understand it. For wealthy people, it's best to earn money honestly and not touch stocks. To truly make money in stocks, you must be an absolute shrewd individual. To be honest, even I am not an absolute shrewd individual! You just need to tell Qin Feng that you inadvertently overheard insider information about these five stocks during a chat with some bosses, and they are guaranteed to rise within a week. Whether Qin Feng believes it or not is irrelevant. Anyway, these five stocks will rise within a week. Of course, after they rise, if you don't sell them in time, they will fall again."

Chen Feng explained patiently.

Looking at Chen Feng's determined eyes, Nie Xiaosu chose to believe him.

Therefore, before revealing the information to Qin Feng, Nie Xiaosu herself bought a large sum of stock.

She bought all five stocks recommended by Chen Feng.

Firstly, it was an opportunity to make money, and not seizing it was not in her nature as a businesswoman.

Secondly, it was a good way to further test Chen Feng's ability.

She wanted to see if Chen Feng's exceptional talent was an illusion or real.

"What? The insider information says these five stocks will rise in a week? Miss Nie, are you sure you heard correctly?"

As expected, Qin Feng looked disbelieving.

Nie Xiaosu did not rush or pressure him.

She simply replied calmly that she had indeed overheard some bosses inadvertently letting it slip.

As for whether it was true, she couldn't verify it as she didn't trade stocks.

"Miss Nie, thank you for remembering that I trade stocks. However, I've decided not to buy for now. It's not that I doubt you're lying. I suspect it's fake news deliberately released by institutions to get retail investors like us to take over."

Qin Feng analyzed with a self-righteous air.

Nie Xiaosu had no desire to listen and simply told Qin Feng to go and do his work.

Thus, another week passed.

Nie Xiaosu nervously opened her phone's stock app.

She didn't know until she looked, and when she did, Nie Xiaosu was ecstatic.

My heavens, Chen Feng was truly a god.

These five potential stocks, every single one of them had indeed surged.

On average, each stock rose by two yuan.

Two yuan might not seem like much on the surface.

However, two yuan on a stock worth tens of millions was extraordinary.

Nie Xiaosu had planned to hold the stocks to earn more, but Chen Feng's words, "The Chinese stock market is an unusual market, specifically designed to trap retail investors, and even more so greedy retail investors," surfaced in her mind.

Therefore, Nie Xiaosu sold all five stocks without hesitation, even though they were still climbing.

As expected, Chen Feng had predicted these five stocks perfectly again.

They only rose for the morning; in the afternoon, they all fell.

Nie Xiaosu had only one feeling.

Chen Feng definitely possessed great wisdom!

He clearly understood the unpredictability of the Chinese stock market; as long as one stayed in the market, short-term gains might be possible, but long-term losses were inevitable.

"Miss Nie, I'm a pig, truly a pig."

In the afternoon, Qin Feng entered Nie Xiaosu's office, full of regret.

"What's wrong? Manager Qin."

Nie Xiaosu asked knowingly.

"You clearly said these five stocks were insider stocks, and I actually didn't believe you and didn't buy a single share. Alas, if I had bought them, I could have made a substantial profit."

Qin Feng said resentfully.

"It's alright, there will be many more opportunities like this in the future."

Nie Xiaosu calmly advised Qin Feng.

"Miss Nie, if there are any more insider stocks in the future, you must tell me. I will never miss such an opportunity again."

Qin Feng said excitedly.

"Manager Qin, you are my most capable right-hand man, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly. How about this, wait patiently for another week, and then I will attend dinners with those big shots again, and I'm sure I'll hear some insider stock information..."

Nie Xiaosu replied as if it were true.
