Gu Qingchen frowned. She picked her ear and glanced at Xu Tianyi.

Xu Tianyi smiled faintly. Mr. Shan also looked at him, “Xu Tianyi, do you want to answer this question?”

Xu Tianyi smiled and did not stand up. He sat there and leaned against the back of the chair, “Mr. Shan, why don’t we let our new student answer this question? I see that this new student is very hardworking. She should be able to answer your question.”

Mr. Shan looked at Gu Qingchen. Of course, he had noticed that Gu Qingchen had been flipping through the books. He guessed that she had not listened to him.

It seemed that Xu Tianyi wanted to use his hands to teach this new student a lesson.

“Oh? I didn’t expect our freshmen to work so hard. That’s good too. Since that’s the case, then Gu Qingchen, tell me, what do you think of the current stock market in our country?”

Mr. Shan also knew that this question was definitely tricky to Gu Qingchen. Everyone knew that these freshmen had previously learned the usual language, mathematics, foreign history, and politics in their previous schools. How would they learn the practical things of society, not to mention the stock market?

Even the students in the class now only had a limited understanding of the stock market. There were really not many people who could really understand it.

Mr. Shan even suspected that Gu Qingchen had never heard of the stock market before.

Xu Tianyi was indeed crafty. He was waiting for Gu Qingchen to embarrass herself.

All the students in the class looked at Gu Qingchen. Each and every one of them had bad intentions. They were just waiting to see Gu Qingchen become a joke.

To be honest, Gu Qingchen did not know much about the stock market. Moreover, she had just learned about economics. She did not even understand the big picture, so how could she understand the domestic stock market.

Even so, Gu Qingchen was not nervous. She thought about the knowledge quietly and recalled the news and topics about the stock market in her memory.

After all, she was a person who had been reborn. There were some things that she had grasped the advantage of.

“Gu Qingchen, do you have any ideas?”

Xu Tianyi asked with a smile, as if he was sure that Gu Qingchen did not know anything.

Gu Qingchen, on the other hand, spoke slowly.

“The stock market in our country is very good now. It’s a bull market now. Since February this year, the stock prices have been soaring. It is a good opportunity to make money. Even at the end of the year, the momentum has not stopped. Although there is a certain risk in entering the market now, I believe that this bull market will continue for a period of time. Before the country adjusts its policies, we can still make money.”

In 1996, the stock market indeed experienced the baptism of the bull market. Almost everything bought would make a lot of money. It was not until 1997, when the country urgently issued new policies, that the bull market was stopped.

This incident caused a great sensation at that time. Many people also made a lot of money from the stock market at that time and became rich overnight.

However, Gu Qingchen would not make it so clear. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain why she knew so much detail.

Initially, it was to make things difficult for Gu Qingchen. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingchen actually said something about the stock market. This was beyond everyone’s expectations.

One had to know that most of the people in Class One did not know much about the stock market. At most, they only knew some news about the stock market. That was because they had listened to the discussions of their elders at home.

If they were asked to answer this question, they really would not be able to answer it.

“Hehe, you said that the stock market is entering a good state now? A few days ago, the People’s Daily published an editorial saying that there was an economic bubble in the stock market. Now, there were already three trading limits. Moreover, the trading system had also changed. There was a trading limit and T + 1. Are you sure you’re not joking about buying stocks at this time?”

The first person to refute Gu Qingchen was actually Jia Zhirui, who looked more like a student from the Department of Sports. He spoke very professionally. Gu Qingchen was not very clear about those professional terms.

When Mr. Shan heard Jia Zhirui’s words, his eyes immediately lit up. The talents of Hongfeng were indeed extraordinary. Jia Zhirui had only entered the school for less than a semester, yet he already knew so much about the stock market and paid attention to current trend. This was definitely the potential that a successful businessman needed.

Even Jia Zhirui was involved. Xu Tianyi was even happier. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qingchen, still smiling. “Little Sprout, it seems that our classmate Jia Zhirui doesn’t agree with your views. What do you think?”

Gu Qingchen smiled, closed the open book, and continued, “Public opinion is only an indicator. Although it will affect the stock market now, you want to stop the bull market with just your opinion. What a joke. The stock market will naturally have a rebound. If it cannot be stabilized, even if it is a bull market, it will not make money.”

“I will still say the same thing. The prices of the shares on the stock market will keep rising. There may be small-scale fluctuations, but it will not affect the general trend. When the government starts to intervene, the bull market will be over.”

“Mr. Shan only asked me to express my personal views on the stock market. I said my own views. If anyone has a different view and wants to prove who is right and who is wrong, then only time could prove our views.”

Gu Qingchen spoke very quickly, and in the end, even Jia Zhirui wanted to refute her words.

Although Xu Tianyi still wanted to sow discord a few more times, Gu Qingchen’s words did have a certain amount of truth. When it came to the stock market, no one could say for sure. As for whose words were more right, it really needed to be tested by time.

Mr. Shan naturally knew that Gu Qingchen’s words made sense. In the end, he could only nod his head, “The classroom is a place where everyone can speak freely. It was really good that you have different opinions. This way, our thoughts can clash. Both students have their own opinions. Not bad.”

After saying that, Mr. Shan continued his lecture. The students in Class One expressed their disappointment. They did not manage to make fun of the new student, which was a bad start.

Jia Zhirui glared at Zhao Zimo and did not make a sound. Xu Tianyi was not like Jia Zhirui. He patted Zhao Zimo’s shoulder and said in a cadence, “Brother, you know the stock market the best. You actually did not say anything. You are really merciful to this Little Sprout.”

Among the three of them, Zhao Zimo was the person who had the best understanding of the stock market. Before Zhao Zimo came to Hongfeng, he had already started to speculate in the stock market. He should know more about the stock market than the others.

Zhao Zimo pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke at a steady pace, “What do you want me to say? Agree with Little Sprout and refute Jia Zhirui?”

“Are you kidding me? Zhao Zimo, why are you acting so weird today? You don’t even help your brother, it’s not like you.”

Xu Tianyi lowered his voice, probably because he was afraid that Gu Qingchen would hear him.

Zhao Zimo shook his head and glanced at Gu Qingchen, then said, “I’m helping him by not saying anything.”

“What do you mean?”

Xu Tianyi looked at Zhao Zimo in confusion. He did not understand what Zhao Zimo was trying to say.
