Holy Crap! My Cat is Actually a Female CEO?!

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Five Times Leverage, a Formidable Man!

Tidal Group.

Finance Team Two office.

"Hey, the team lead’s at a meeting. Stop pretending to work!"

He Mingyi said, patting Gu Yizhou on the shoulder.

Gu Yizhou shot him a helpless look.

He wanted to say he wasn’t pretending. He wasn’t doing company work—he was busy with his own stocks.

The 300,000 he’d gotten from his mom had already arrived in his account!

Gu Yizhou wanted to get his stock account set up before the market closed.

Normally, he could just transfer the money into his stock account and buy shares. But Gu Yizhou felt that 300,000 was too little capital. He wanted to apply for leverage.

Using leverage in stock trading usually refers to increasing investment capital or amplifying investment returns through methods like margin trading or financing.

The leverage multiple depends on the financing platform, which typically determines the ratio based on the investor’s assets and risk tolerance.

Generally, platforms that offer higher leverage multiples might require larger deposits and have stricter risk control requirements.

The platform Gu Yizhou was registered on allowed for personal leverage of up to 5x. This meant that after applying leverage, his 300,000 could become 1,500,000 to buy stocks!

Applying for leverage required filling out a lot of paperwork and going through procedures. Applying for high leverage even required collateral, otherwise it wouldn’t be this much trouble...

But!

Of course, Gu Yizhou wasn’t going to tell He Mingyi any of this.

He brushed him off with a random excuse. "No, I just have a bit more paperwork to sort out!"

"Uh-huh?"

"That’s rare!"

"You’re usually the one who finishes his tasks early, but today you’re actually procrastinating!"

He Mingyi said.

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn’t continue the idle chatter.

...

Soon,

Time flew by, and soon it was almost closing time.

Gu Yizhou had finished setting up his leveraged stock account. He successfully managed to invest the entire 1,500,000—which came from applying 5x leverage—into Caesar Shares at 222 yuan per share, right before the market closed at 3:00 PM!

That’s right!

Gu Yizhou didn’t buy Zhongtian Technology!

It wasn’t because there was some problem with Zhongtian Technology that prevented him from buying it; it was because the return on investment for Caesar Shares was the highest!

The seven-day return on investment for Zhongtian Technology was only 100%, while the seven-day ROI for Caesar Shares was around 200%.

This was the latest information he’d gotten after putting on his investment-return glasses.

So... Gu Yizhou wasn’t an idiot. Naturally, he chose the stock with the highest rate of return!

Men, of course, like bigger things!

As for the others, he wanted to buy them too, but his resources just didn’t allow for it!

Even if he sold his Caesar Shares in seven days, he wouldn’t get another chance.

After all, there were only a few days left on the effective period for his investment-return glasses.

’But... even without the glasses, once I have some money, I can research the stock trends myself. It’s not impossible to buy in again.’

’Well, I’ll worry about that when the time comes!’

’After all, "securing profits is paramount" is a rule every successful investor must remember.’

’Until the money is actually in my hands, everything is just empty talk!’

...

At 5:40 PM.

Gu Yizhou was in a great mood!

For one simple reason!

The Caesar Shares he had just bought had already jumped from 222 yuan per share to 266.4 yuan per share. In other words, Gu Yizhou had made over 260,000 right after buying in. How long had it even been?!

’A 20% surge in one day—now that’s what I call a thrill!’

That’s right!

Because Caesar Shares was on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, its daily fluctuation limit was 20%. This meant the stock would hit its limit up after a 20% increase, and its limit down after a 20% decrease!

The profits were huge, but so were the potential losses!

High rewards, high risks. Risk and return are directly proportional.

...

"Hey!"

Just as Gu Yizhou was packing up, ready to leave the second the clock hit, He Mingyi suddenly leaned over. "You look happy. Did you find some money on the street?"

"Uh..."

Hearing He Mingyi’s words, Gu Yizhou looked back at him and smiled slightly. "Something like that."

’It’s true!’

’He’d made over two hundred thousand in a single afternoon. Isn’t that faster than picking up money off the ground?’

"Uh..."

He Mingyi froze for a second, then couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him. "Stop talking nonsense!" he said, annoyed.

Gu Yizhou just shook his head, offering no explanation.

"Anyway, tomorrow’s the weekend. Want to go for a few drinks tonight?"

He Mingyi asked.

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou gave him a surprised look. "Didn’t you just go drinking last night? Haven’t you had enough?"

"Pfft~"

"We barely had any. There were women with us last night, so no one really let loose!"

He Mingyi waved his hand dismissively.

"Uh..."

"I thought you were a lightweight. Why do you love drinking so much?"

Gu Yizhou said, shaking his head helplessly.

"What?!"

"Bullshit!"

"Who’s a lightweight?!"

The moment Gu Yizhou called him a lightweight, He Mingyi got all worked up. He puffed out his chest and boasted, "Let me tell you, as long as the Snow Beer keeps flowing, so will I! They call me the God of Wine of Modu!"

"I could drink ten of you under the table!"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

’If I hadn’t seen you throwing up before, I might have actually believed you!’

He looked speechlessly at He Mingyi, who was standing in front of him, bragging his ass off!

’This must be what they call "all talk and no game"...’

"Alright, alright, you’re the man. I give up!"

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou said, "But I can’t go tonight. I have to get up early tomorrow. My counselor from school asked me to come back for something."

"Uh..."

He Mingyi was exasperated. "Dude, it’s so hard to get you to hang out!"

"Can’t be helped!"

"Something really did come up."

Gu Yizhou said, shaking his head.

"Alright then!"

Seeing this, He Mingyi didn’t press the issue.

Just then, the finance department supervisor, who sported a Mediterranean-style haircut, walked over.

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP—

He clapped his hands and announced to the crowd, "Everyone, we’ve just received notice from upper management. The entire finance department will be staying for overtime tonight. There’s an urgent matter to handle!"

The moment he finished speaking, the entire office erupted in an uproar!

"Damn it~!"

"They’re telling us about overtime right when we’re about to leave!"

"Seriously!"

"I just told my family I was heading home soon!"

...

A chorus of complaints began to spread through the group.

Faced with the complaints, Li Shuangjiang shook his head and said, "Alright, alright, there’s overtime pay!"

"Uh-huh?"

At these words, everyone’s eyes lit up!

’Should’ve said so earlier!’

’If there’s overtime pay, then we can forgive them!’

After all, people work to make money. Since there was money to be made from overtime, the resentment in everyone’s hearts instantly vanished!

"Well!"

"Looks like fate is determined to keep me from drinking today!"

He Mingyi, sitting next to Gu Yizhou, shook his head with a sigh.

Just then, Supervisor Li Shuangjiang suddenly spoke again, "In a moment, the team leads will report their headcount for overtime, and the department will order dinner for everyone. Oh... right, interns are excluded from tonight’s overtime!"

He Mingyi: "?????"
