Hong Kong film: Refusing to go undercover, the policeman's path to becoming the richest man.

Chapter 23 The Birth of a Stock Market God

Chen Yongren felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

So everyone else is keeping a low profile and hiding their talents, while I'm the only one acting like a reckless fool and showing off?

To be honest, Chen Yongren didn't specifically seek out this undercover job.

Who could have predicted that Ni Yongxiao, with his men, would uncover all of Chen Yongren's hidden family secrets that he had kept hidden for so many years?

At that critical juncture, if the police academy instructors had discovered Chen Yongren's family background, he would definitely not have been able to keep his police cadet uniform.

Going undercover was a last resort, a desperate measure he had been forced into. If he hadn't chosen that path, he wouldn't have even been able to get his hands on a police job.

However, Chen Yongren has always been arrogant and proud, always believing that with his own abilities, he can do anything well and stand out from the crowd.

But after a year and a half, the harsh realities of society finally made him realize just how naive and immature he had been.

He suffered greatly during that year and a half, sometimes eating well and sometimes going hungry, his days filled with either fighting with others or being surrounded and beaten.

To be honest, if I've really made something of myself and made a name for myself in the past year and a half, then that would be great.

But after a whole year and a half, he was still just a lowly hoodlum struggling at the bottom of society.

Just thinking about it makes my chest feel tight and it's so uncomfortable!

When he suddenly turned around to look back, he was shocked to realize that He Chu had already taken up the position of inspector, and Yang Jinrong had become a probationary inspector. In a few months, they would be able to become full-fledged inspectors.

He himself is still just a low-ranking police officer in name only!

Who can we blame for this situation?

Chen Yongren felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled, a complex mix of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors that was hard to describe.

Lu Qichang spoke calmly:

"Ah Ren, you need to learn to recognize the strengths and advantages of others."

"When Inspector Ho was a patrolman in his military uniform, no matter which district he was assigned to, he would immediately get to know every nook and cranny of the area."

Chen Yongren was stunned for a moment, then blurted out:

"You know it all perfectly?"

Lu Qichang nodded solemnly:

"Yes, he knows every street and every building in the district, how many floors it has, and how many households live there. He knows it all perfectly well, without the slightest ambiguity."

hiss!

Chen Yongren gasped in shock, exclaiming:

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Lu Qichang shrugged and said helplessly:

"At first, I also thought this was an absurd exaggeration, but the facts are right in front of us, and it's absolutely true."

"After he was transferred to the West Kowloon Headquarters, he would run around the district whenever he had free time, sweeping street by street."

Chen Yongren asked, his face full of confusion:

"Street sweeping?"

Lu Qichang nodded solemnly:

"It's just street sweeping!"

"He walked every street and alley, every office building and residential building in the district step by step."

"He would set aside time almost every week to walk through and sweep the entire jurisdiction again."

Chen Yongren instinctively asked:

"Why did he do that?"

Lu Qichang lowered his voice and said slowly:

"I specifically asked him before, why go to so much trouble to do this?"

"He told me that I just needed to thoroughly familiarize myself with and memorize the environment in my jurisdiction first."

"If I ever encounter a case, I can immediately construct a three-dimensional and intuitive full-view model of the entire scene in my mind."

"To put it bluntly... it's all for the convenience of catching thieves."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren instantly felt the vast difference between the two men.

But after staring blankly for a long time, he finally raised his head and asked with an incredulous look on his face:

"Are there really such outrageous people in this world who would go to such lengths to do something like this?"

Lu Qichang shrugged again and said with a wry smile:

"At first, I didn't believe it at all."

"As a result, Inspector Ho simply asked me to give him any question to test him, and he immediately drew a complete map of the jurisdiction based on his memory."

"He actually memorized every single blade of grass, every tree, every street and alley!"

He Chu held a god-level map system in his hand, and the entire map of the West Kowloon Headquarters was already completely imprinted in the depths of his mind.

He only needs to glance at it, and the system will automatically light up and record the corresponding area.

In this way, he always had a fully detailed 3D model in his mind, so he didn't need to spend any effort to memorize it.

But to outsiders, his demeanor was completely different, a jaw-dropping sight.

Lu Qichang and Chen Yongren were both completely stunned by He Chu's "abnormal" abilities.

Chen Yongren forced a bitter smile and said:

"If Ah Chu had shown such outrageous skills back in police academy, who would have dared to compete with him?"

Lu Qichang shook his head and slowly said:

"Inspector Ho has lofty ambitions and his vision is far beyond such trivial matters. He would never argue with others over such short-term gains or losses."

Chen Yongren nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

What you said makes a lot of sense.

"When Cheuk Kai and I teamed up to take him down, I should have known that Ah Chu was no ordinary person."

"Even when the two of us attacked together, we still couldn't beat him by himself."

As Lu Qichang watched Chen Yongren's expression gradually soften, it seemed as if a lot of his inner turmoil had been resolved, but he secretly sighed inwardly.

If someone is only slightly better than you, and you try your best to catch up, you will naturally feel a lot of pressure.

But if someone is far superior to you, so much so that no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up, then naturally there's no such thing as pressure.

Chen Yongren no longer feels any pressure and will never again insist on being the top student from his time at the police academy.

He Chu's outrageous performance made him completely lose the will to compete for first place.

Looking at him like this, Lu Qichang felt a secret sense of relief, but also a faint sense of disappointment.

But then he thought again, if he were in Chen Yongren's position, and had to compete with someone as outrageous as He Chu, he definitely wouldn't have the slightest desire to be competitive.

With this thought, Lu Qichang's inexplicable emotions dissipated instantly, and his mood brightened considerably.

"Ah Ren, this year and a half of undercover work has allowed you to thoroughly understand the rules of operation and survival logic of the gang's lower levels."

"Once you've figured out and filled in the gaps in the organization's upper echelons' operations."

"At that time, you will be the top anti-gangster expert in the entire police force."

If this were still in police academy, Chen Yongren would have readily accepted Lu Qichang's praise. However, after a year and a half of harsh realities in society, his temperament and thinking had matured considerably. He could only manage a wry smile as he spoke…

"Inspector Lu, I will definitely learn my skills diligently from you and Inspector He from now on."

Just then, He Chu knocked on the office door, pushed it open, and walked in.

"Hey, Ah Ren's here too?"

"It just so happens that I also need to talk to you about something."

"I have a sure-fire way to make money; you can get on board for just 20,000 yuan per person."

Without saying a word, Lu Qichang immediately took out his wallet.

As Chen Yongren took out his money, he couldn't help but ask:

"Ah Chu, what kind of good approach is it?"

He Chu quickly and efficiently collected the money from the two of them.

"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"

"I guarantee I'll give you a definite answer in a week."

Chen Yongren wanted to ask more questions, but then he saw He Chu casually pick up the pen and paper from Lu Qichang's desk, quickly write two receipts, and hand them to the two men respectively.

"Keep them all safe. Come back to me in a week with this and we'll split the money."

After saying goodbye to the two of them, he turned around and walked away gracefully.

Chen Yongren stared at the note in his hand, his face full of bewilderment:

"It's just borrowing money, why make such a fuss and write all this stuff?"

Lu Qichang glared at him fiercely:

Do you think Inspector Ho would be short of your 20,000 yuan?

Chen Yongren was stunned for a moment:

"He's only been working for a year and a half, how much money could he possibly have?"

Lu Qichang sighed and said:

"He's a full-fledged inspector now, and his monthly salary is much higher than yours."

"Would he really be short of the 20,000 yuan you have?"

Chen Yongren asked in astonishment:

"So what exactly is going on with him...?"

Lu Qichang carefully folded the receipt in his hand and put it away.

"Here's a piece of advice: keep this receipt safe and don't lose it."

"Didn't you read what was written on it carefully?"

"This is clearly proof of investment, not some kind of IOU for a loan."

"It's only about a week anyway."

"We'll understand everything when the time comes."

After listening, Chen Yongren nodded solemnly.

Lu Qichang pushed open the office door and walked out, bumping right into Luo Ji outside:

"Did Inspector Ho also charge you 20,000 yuan?"

Luo Ji nodded:

"The money has already been given to him."

Lu Qichang nodded thoughtfully.

He Chu went to everyone in the group and collected 20,000 yuan from each person, which shows that he did not show favoritism and left opportunities for everyone.

Luo Ji then spoke up:

"Just now, Inspector He called Yang Jinrong, and Inspector Yang transferred 20,000 yuan to him without saying a word."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qichang's lips curled into a faint smile:

"This is getting more and more interesting."

Yang Jinrong has already been assigned to the Major Crimes Unit C; the transfer order has been officially issued.

Because of this matter, Inspector He from the uniform department has not given Superintendent Chen a kind look for the past two days.

However, the handover process takes time and involves procedures, so Yang Jinrong will have to wait another week before he can officially start his new job.

What Lu Qichang found truly interesting was that a week later was both the day Yang Jinrong officially reported for duty and the day He Chu had specified on the receipt for the money to be divided and repaid.

With these two things happening together, is there some hidden secret involved?

But where did He Chu go at this time?

"With extraordinary comprehension, the host has successfully grasped the core essence of the stock market by continuously checking the overall stock market trends."

"With extraordinary comprehension, the host has successfully grasped the core essence of the stock market by reviewing individual stock reports one after another."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully grasped the core essence of stock trading. Your stock market practical skills have been upgraded to the maximum level!"

He Chu paused for a moment, then blurted out:

"You reached the maximum level so quickly?"

"This upgrade speed is much faster than upgrading criminal investigation skills!"

What exactly does "max level" mean?!

That is standing at the very top of the pyramid, the highest level in the world.

If this level of skill were applied to the gambling world, he would be a gambling god revered by all; if applied to the stock market, he would naturally be... a stock market god who can turn the tide at will!

In He Chu's eyes, it seemed that only the red and green colors of the stock market remained, and strings of stock codes flashed by and disappeared quickly in his eyes.

In just a short moment, he accurately identified a string of stock codes.

A crystal-clear voice instantly exploded in his mind:

"A speculative stock!!"

"There's actually a stock in this market that's about to skyrocket!"

Without saying a word, He Chu immediately used all the 100,000 yuan that the five people in Group C had pooled together to buy this speculative stock.

He glanced at the stock's market capitalization; it was quite small, with a total market value of at most three million.

Under normal circumstances, very few retail investors and institutions would be willing to buy into small-cap stocks of this size.

After all, the total market value of the company is what it is. If you put in 100,000 yuan, you can become a big shark that stirs up the seas.

At that time, the stock price was only one cent per share.

He Chu turned to his stockbroker and said:

"Hold on to this stock and absolutely do not sell it unless the price rises above 100 yuan before considering making a move."

The stockbroker quickly nodded in agreement, but when he glanced down at the stock information on the screen, he was stunned:

"Sir, this stock is notoriously junk."

"If you just hold on to it like this, it's easy for you to get stuck with it and become a long-term shareholder."

"How about I recommend a few high-quality blue-chip stocks to you? They have excellent prospects and performance, and you'll definitely earn much more than with this junk stock."

Why wait until a stock that costs one cent per share rises to over one hundred dollars before selling it?

Is this just a joke?

Will I ever live to see it reach this price again?

The stockbroker thought to himself that this Mr. He must be desperate to get rich.

He Chu simply smiled faintly and said:

"I have no interest in making small amounts of money; I want to make a large sum of money that I can make right away."

"I'm sticking with this stock."

"I see you have good professional skills. Here's a suggestion: buy some yourself. I guarantee you'll earn enough to start your own company."

"Just do as I say, and you can't go wrong."

"I'm entrusting you with the management of this stock. If it doesn't reach the target price, just leave the money there and don't move it, treat it like a fixed deposit in the bank."

After hearing this, the stockbroker could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

After all, the stock price is only one cent. Even if it falls further, how far can it fall?

If you're lucky, it might even go up a few cents.

In that sense, it's really no different from saving money in a bank; you won't lose much.

However, to raise it to one hundred yuan is simply a pipe dream, an impossible task!

After explaining everything to his stockbroker and saying goodbye, He Chu turned and left the brokerage firm.

The stockbroker watched him leave and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is yet another young person who's gone crazy with the desire to get rich overnight."

"Ten thousand yuan, that didn't just fall from the sky, and you're just going to waste it like this!"

In his mind, he had already given up on He Chu's investment—at best, it would break even, and making a fortune from it was absolutely impossible.

In a bear market, being able to avoid losses and preserve value would already be considered a successful investment.

But right now, it's a bull market that everyone's celebrating. You can make a fortune just by buying any normal stock with your eyes closed.

In this market, earning less is equivalent to losing money!

Who among those who dare to rush into the stock market doesn't dream of getting rich overnight and rising to the top in one step?

Is it really that easy to make money in the stock market?

In this market, how many people have lost everything overnight?

Every day, countless people line up to jump off the roof of this securities building.

And you even made me buy it too?

With these worthless stocks, when will we ever get rich from them?!

The stockbroker found it increasingly amusing and muttered to himself:

"A tiny plate worth only three million, and they think they can get rich overnight? That's pure nonsense!"

He casually minimized the stock page and tossed it aside, turning his attention to other major client orders.

He was so busy that it wasn't until lunchtime, when he was about to leave work, that he suddenly remembered about this particular stock.

To be honest, a 100,000 yuan order is indeed a small order that is not worth mentioning in his hands, but no matter how small the order is, it is still a client's entrustment, and he still has to take a look at the market according to the rules.

"One dollar a share, such a small, worthless order, I must be really bored to even glance at it."

Just as the stockbroker was about to swipe away from the page, a sudden thought struck him, and he instantly realized something was wrong!

He frantically swiped back to the previous page, staring intently at the prices on the screen, carefully comparing them—

That's right!

The price per share is clearly one dollar!

The stockbroker, fearing he was seeing things, rubbed his eyes hard and looked again—the price on the screen was still one dollar!

His face changed instantly, turning almost completely pale!

The stockbroker frantically searched for the stock's historical trading data.

hiss!

He clearly saw that when He Chu bought this stock, the transaction price per share was a mere ten cents!

In other words, in just a few hours, the price of this stock skyrocketed tenfold!

The 100,000 yuan that someone invested turned into a real million yuan in just a few hours!

The stockbroker felt his blood rush to his head and frantically called He Chu:

"Mr. He! The stock you bought has gone up! It's skyrocketed!"

He Chu, on the other end of the phone, remained nonchalant as he casually asked:

"Has it gone up to one hundred dollars yet?"

this?!
