"Actually, investing in stocks has great benefits. The market economy is developing rapidly, and the state is strongly supporting it. The situation is very good. Plus, you can see market changes and opportunities through stocks, which is very helpful for our business!"

Su Jianjun immediately noticed his wife was wavering—a rare opportunity indeed—and quickly began persuading her with eloquence.

"Mom, the market is always changing. Think about it, in the '80s, you and Dad could make big money with a street stall. But could you do the same in the '90s? No!"

Su Zelin and his dad were in sync: "Nowadays, setting up a street stall at most just earns you a living. Come the New Era, the future belongs to other industries, especially the internet. I dare say its development will be unstoppable!"

While Dad was trying to win Mom's support for stock trading, Su Zelin was aiming for more—he also wanted a legitimate reason to hang out in internet cafes!

He would nobly call it staying updated on the latest news and market changes, and leave it at that!

The father-son duo took turns bombarding Zhao Lixia, and she seemed a bit compromised.

Although many housewives worry about their husbands trading stocks,

each family's situation is different. Her husband and son are smarter!

Making money isn't like mindlessly gambling, so everything else is negotiable.

"Alright, you guys have a point."

Zhao Lixia nodded slightly: "I'll ask Old Qin during dinner. By the way, our son bought a big lobster and some seafood; invite Sufen's family over for a meal later!"

Whenever the two families bought good food, they'd often invite neighbors to share.

"Sure!"

Su Jianjun and Su Zelin exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly, all understood without words.

Old Qin would definitely be on their side; besides, he's secretly trading stocks too.

Now they're all set, no need to hide anymore!

Zhao Lixia went off to cook, busy with all that seafood to prepare.

Su Jianjun didn't leave; he felt it necessary to continue talking with his son, even to learn from Su Zelin.

"Zelin, your stock pick was brilliant. Are there really so many inside tips online?"

Dad was a bit tempted. Actually, he'd wanted to learn to surf the internet long ago; both father and son love new things, and online information is faster and more comprehensive than news—everything is there. Financial papers and magazines are even less timely than the web, but he's been too busy with business these past couple of years to find the time.

"Dad, there's a lot of info online, but it's a mix of good and bad; not all of it is reliable. You have to analyze it yourself, learn to filter, discard the dross, and extract the essence to find what's useful for you!"

Su Zelin chuckled.

He knew he wasn't that impressive; it mainly relied on the foresight of a reborn person.

Su Jianjun nodded slightly, strongly agreeing with this advice.

Stocks involve a lot of so-called expert consultations that are just scams; these experts don't dare to buy freely and then claim certain stocks will definitely rise, but there are always traders who take the bait.

It's like those spam lottery ads finding prey—send to 10,000 people, and some numbers will match, but don't think it's legitimate; it's just survivors' bias!

The principle is simple; if it's steady profit, why would they need to sell insider info? Why not invest it themselves and soar!

However, many people don't get this.

"You! You found a gold-stock and didn't even tell your old man!"

Su Jianjun was a bit heartbroken.

If he had gotten a heads-up, investing a bit more money could've meant a six-figure profit by now.

"Dad, did I dare to tell you beforehand? Would you have believed me?"

Su Zelin countered.

Su Jianjun hesitated, then shook his head: "No, I wouldn't!"

If his son hadn't made a killing, who'd believe a green youngster's words?

And upon finding out Su Zelin used all his lottery winnings to buy stocks, he and his wife would've immediately gone for a mixed doubles scolding.

"Now, analyze again, can Shenghai and Mei Lin still rise?"

Su Jianjun asked excitedly.

He's been keeping his stock trading a secret from his wife, not daring to tell anyone, feeling stifled, and now it's like he found a fellow traveler.

"From what I heard online, Shenghai and Mei Lin's investment returns in the secondary market have peaked. The recent surge is mostly speculative and might last a few more days, but will soon drop. Better to sell early, or else it would be blind following and gambling!"

Su Zelin casually reminded him, knowing his dad was indeed secretly trading stocks.

If not for his rebirth, Dad would've been slow to react and held Shenghai and Mei Lin for a while. While he wouldn't have lost money in the end, he wouldn't have gained much either.

Su Jianjun grasped the point.

He also sensed that Shenghai and Mei Lin had risen for so long, they might soon peak, but seeing the surges made him reluctant to sell.

With Zelin's words, he felt trusting his son was the right choice.

Tomorrow I'll make a call and have them sell it for me!

Su Jianjun didn't know how to operate stock trading software online, so he could only buy and sell stocks through phone commissions.

After chatting about stocks with his son in the room, Su Jianjun went next door to invite the in-laws over for dinner and also to have a word with Qin Daqing.

Though Old Qin would surely support him, it's better to discuss it first, so it'll be easier for Old Qin to persuade his wife later.
