Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 35 Stocks and Graduation Ceremonies

Chen Ran inquired about the requirements for opening a stock market account.

Under normal circumstances, opening a stock account requires people who are over 18 years old and have full civil conduct.

But there are exceptions. For example, if you are over 16 years old and can prove that you have a good source of income.

Therefore, Chen Ran’s 10K Hope Race championship came in handy.

This is also an official international competition, with not only a prize of US$1500, but also a certificate of "athlete", which is enough to prove that 16-year-old Chen Ran has an excellent source of income.

Chen Ran quickly opened a personal stock market account.

He had never traded in stocks in his previous life. He only knew that Big A was a very, very deceptive place, and he would cut leeks without mercy.

At that time, Chen Ran didn't want the savings he had worked so hard to save to go up in smoke, so he wisely chose to stay away from Big A.

But this time, Chen Ran opened an account not for stock trading, but for other purposes besides long-term investment.

Although Big A is generally unreliable, there are always a few stocks that still have investment value, especially in 2002, which is still full of youth.

After Chen Ran completed the account opening, he first spent 1 yuan to decisively purchase some Moutai stocks.

He knows that Moutai's stock will increase nearly 200 times in the future!
Chen Ran still has 12 yuan in deposits. First, he has to keep 2 yuan for himself. The remaining 10 yuan is all locked in Moutai stocks by the system until 2023.

This also means that Chen Ran cannot use the 10 yuan during this period.

10 yuan of Moutai stock means that its value in 20 years will be nearly 2000 million.

What Chen Ran needs is to use this prophetic information to convert this potentially huge wealth into his own potential value.

Soon, a message came from the system.

"Is it divided evenly?"

"It's better to just improve the technical attributes!"

A few seconds later, the potential value of the technical attributes changed, from the previous 6 points to 13 points, which also meant that the limit value of Chen Ran's technical attributes was 80 points.

"The potential value only increased by 7 points?"

"I gave up on acquiring two shops before, and the future valuation was only over 100 million, and the potential value converted was only 5 points."

"This is a wealth of nearly 2000 million yuan, only 7 points!"

The system also gives an explanation.

The first is that the deadline is too long.

Even if Chen Ran really spends the 10 yuan to buy Moutai stocks, it will take 2000 years for their value to reach 20 million.

This will give a slight discount when converted to potential value.

Second, the higher your basic attributes are, the higher the amount spent on converting potential values.

75 is a hurdle, and the difficulty of improvement is doubled compared to 70. But after 80, it is another hurdle, and the difficulty of improving potential value will be doubled.

Through the prophetic information of Moutai stock, Chen Ran raised the limit value of technical attributes from 73 to 80, crossing two hurdles at once, which is already commendable.

The system does not allow Chen Ran to lock in some Moutai stocks by asking relatives to borrow money, and then exchange them for his own potential value. This is considered cheating.

The wealth he can use must be completely at his disposal.

Of course, from Chen Ran's perspective, he was unwilling to borrow money to lock up houses or stocks in exchange for his own potential value.

Because the borrowed money must be repaid, and the money cannot be used during the lockdown period, if someone is in a hurry to use the money and asks you to get it, you will be passive.

"That means that after 80 points, it will be extremely difficult to increase the potential value every time." Chen Ran muttered silently in his heart. The technical attribute of 75 means that you can dominate the ATP Challenger Tour and also have the ability to occasionally break into the semi-finals or even the finals of ATP250 tournaments.

A technical attribute of 80 is great. It is equivalent to a huge leap to break through the bottleneck. You have the strength to break into the top 8 of the ATP Masters or the top 16 of the four Grand Slams.If you are lucky, encounter a good draw, or your opponent is in poor condition, you may even go one step further.

Chen Ran glanced at the 1 yuan Moutai stock he had purchased. In fact, he was more willing to lock up the money for a period and then exchange it for the potential value of other attributes.

From his perspective, the time for these Moutai stocks to appreciate and bring returns is too long.

But I have already opened a stock market account and have worked hard to provide proof of income. It seems unreasonable not to buy at all. People will look at you with suspicion.

Chen Ran did the math and found that the funds he could use now were 20500 yuan.

Putting aside the funds that have been locked, these funds are considered all of your savings.

Even if you don't go abroad for the time being, competing only in China is still a huge expense.

You can't expect to win the championship or reach the finals every time.

Still have to make money!

But Chen Ran didn't have any good ideas to make money at the moment. After all, he didn't even have start-up capital.

He left the stock exchange with a heavy heart.

……

A few days later, the high school entrance examination results will be officially released, and students will have to return to school to fill in their application forms.

Chen Ran also returned to his alma mater and received his junior high school diploma.

What surprised Chen Ran was that at the graduation ceremony, the principal of Dongzhou No. [-] Junior High School actually asked him, as one of the graduate representatives, to come on stage and give a speech after a certain top student gave a speech.

In the words of the principal, Chen Ran was the first person to win the title of "Athlete" while in school since the establishment of Dongzhou No. [-] Junior High School, and he was also the first to win a championship in a formal international sports competition.

Chen Ran suddenly felt a fiery gaze passing over him.

His heart moved slightly and he turned his head to look.

Sure enough, it was Jiang Jie, his eyes filled with all kinds of "envy, jealousy, and hate" emotions.

Jiang Jie's face was full of reluctance. As a member of the school's track and field team, he got up early and worked hard in the dark for three years, training hard regardless of the weather, and won honors for the school at the provincial junior high school sports meeting. The result was not as good as this one. Tennis guy.

"Can't I keep a low profile even if I want to?"

"It's not just a championship at the lowest level in the district, it's not like he won a Grand Slam."

"And there was no advance notice, and a surprise attack was carried out."

"Damn it, I can't even push it away, I'm so annoyed!"

Chen Ran didn't know that this speech was a temporary decision of the principal.

Because just yesterday, the principal of Dongzhou No. [-] Junior High School received a call from the vice chairman of the Chinese Tennis Association and wanted to ask him for information about Chen Ran.

Although the relationship between the two people is completely unrelated, in China's so-called official level, they are overwhelming.

The principal of a junior high school is a deputy junior high school student, and the vice president of the Chinese Tennis Association is a deputy junior high school student, which is two levels older than you.

The principal was shocked when he learned that a recent graduate of his school was noticed by the vice chairman of the Chinese Tennis Association.

He has never encountered this situation since he started working.
