Chapter 27 Making money with money is the most profitable way.
That night, Shen Mei still insisted on sleeping on the sofa.
After washing up, Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao lay in bed, but naturally couldn't fall asleep.
Who could fall asleep peacefully at night after being hit by a huge sum of money out of nowhere?
Shen Yao decides which numbers to bet on during the day, but Shen Wancheng decides how much to bet, and the bet money comes from both Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.
If it weren't for Shen Wancheng, Shen Yao would definitely not have taken out 3000 Hong Kong dollars to place a bet.
However, without Shen Yao, Shen Wancheng, who knew nothing about horse racing, would not have known that horse number 2 was so powerful and would not have bet on it.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng suggested splitting the 10 yuan in four parts and six parts, with Shen Yao, who plays a key role, receiving 6%. We'll get a bank card for Shen Yao tomorrow too.
Shen Yao refused Shen Wancheng's suggestion without even thinking about it.
"I don't want that."
Shen Yao moved closer to Shen Wancheng and rubbed her face against Shen Wancheng's arm.
Shen Wancheng chuckled, "Why are you suddenly acting like a child?"
“Sister, it’s such a great fate that we two souls from different times and spaces can meet here and share a body with blood ties. I’ve long considered you my own sister.”
Shen Wancheng was an orphan in her previous life and had never had any relatives. Hearing Shen Yao's words warmed her heart and moved her.
"Me too, I treat you like my own sister."
"Then why do you distinguish between them so clearly?"
Shen Wancheng patiently said, "Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Being clear about money is not to create distance, but to prevent it from becoming a deadly poison that affects the relationship in the future. After all, money can influence people's hearts. Not to mention others, I myself am not sure if my heart will change in the future, or what it will become. Most bad people are not bad people from the beginning."
“But there’s always a reason why people’s hearts change. You’re my sister. No matter how you change, I believe it’s because of your environment. I may not approve of you, but I will definitely understand you.”
Shen Wancheng lowered her eyes to avoid Shen Yao's gaze.
"Yaoyao, you're so kind."
Shen Wancheng felt that Shen Yao had a pure heart and was a very good person.
But Shen Wancheng doesn't envy Shen Yao, nor does she want to become like Shen Yao; she has her own principles to follow.
People's hearts change, and that's it. Shen Wancheng won't try to understand; she'll only judge the gratitude and resentment based on the outcome.
Shen Yao could tell from Shen Wancheng's expression that she couldn't reason with her.
So she changed her story.
"How much would it cost to repair one of those buildings in the port tonight?"
"Hmm... tens of millions or close to a hundred million."
"So, our HK$10 today is actually nothing. We can't even afford the house we live in now, right?"
Shen Wancheng nodded and said truthfully, "I can't afford it."
"Then why bother dividing the money? Just keep it all with you, do whatever you want with it, and help me make money."
"You're quite good at finding people to work for you."
"What do you mean by working? This is an investment!"
Shen Wancheng was very happy that Shen Yao had a long-term vision and that she trusted her.
"Alright, then I'll reluctantly let you become a shareholder."
"Thank you for your reluctant agreement, sister~"
"Okay, stop joking around, time for bed."
Shen Wancheng closed his eyes only after Shen Yao fell asleep.
She saw the achievement system again.
The familiar mechanical sound rang out.
"Congratulations, host! Your personal assets have reached HKD 10. Achievement points increased by 10. Host's current achievement point balance: 20"
Hmm? You get a reward if you have personal assets of HKD 10.
I have 20 achievement points now.
Shen Wancheng thought to herself, now that she has HK$10 in start-up capital, shouldn't she also exchange it for a skill and start her own business?
Shen Wancheng's desire to acknowledge Xu Pingtao as her maternal grandfather was essentially just a way of reclaiming what belonged to her original mother, Xu Lan. As Xu Lan's biological father, wouldn't it be reasonable for Xu Pingtao to give her one-tenth, or even one percent, of his inheritance?
Shen Wancheng's initial plan was to use the benefits she received from Xu Pingtao as start-up capital for her business.
She did not intend to take advantage of the He family's extinction like Xu Pingtao did, and seize everything belonging to the He family for herself.
Now that I have HKD 10, I can use it as seed money. I've decided to consider Xu Pingtao as a backup plan, so I'm not in a rush.
The 80s were a golden age for Hong Kong's economic development, with all sectors experiencing rapid growth.
But if we're talking about what's developing the fastest, it has to be Hong Kong Island's economy itself.
Making money with money is the most direct and most profitable way.
Hong Kong Island is now a goldmine, with wealthy people in every industry, but all the wealthy people in every industry need to understand finance.
Shen Wancheng isn't rich yet, but that doesn't stop her from being proficient in finance.
Knowing what wealthy and powerful people are interested in and being able to strike up a conversation can create more opportunities for yourself.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng used 20 achievement points to buy financial analysis skills and became a financial expert overnight.

The next morning, Shen Wancheng and her two sisters went to have Hong Kong-style dim sum with Guo Tao.
This style of morning tea is quite rare in Guangdong and Hong Kong Island; only a few old shops still use this format.
Once a snack is prepared, it will be placed on a cart, and the waiter will push the cart around to each table, allowing diners who want it to take one serving.
Just like last night at the snack stall, Shen Wancheng and her friends bought a serving of every snack they passed by.
The dim sum restaurant that Guo Tao brought them to was a long-established brand, offering a wide variety of traditional Hong Kong-style dim sum.
Even Hong Kong-style char siu bao comes in many varieties.
The dough for the char siu bao was fluffy and soft, with a subtle sweet flavor.
The fillings come in many varieties, including the most common char siu, as well as Chinese sausage, shrimp, beef, and more.
What surprised Shen Wancheng the most was the quail egg shumai.
In her previous life, Shen Wancheng did not like to eat shumai. In her memory, shumai was a dough wrapper filled with glutinous rice.
Her preconceived notions led her to rarely order shumai.
But the quail egg shumai I ate today was bursting with tender, savory meat flavor with every bite.
One is not enough to satisfy my craving.
The Shen sisters almost simultaneously ordered another serving from the waiter.
I was very satisfied with the meal.
It was already noon when they finished eating. Guo Tao dropped Shen Wancheng and the others off at their rented apartment and then left.
Before going upstairs, Shen Wancheng bought some of the latest newspapers and magazines at the newsstand downstairs.
This time, she mainly bought financial and business journals, and only randomly picked entertainment journals that mentioned the He family.
Back in their rented room, Shen Yao started picking through the trinkets they had bought at the grocery store downstairs.
For Shen Yao, even something as small as the material of a plastic fan was a novelty.
Shen Mei sat down next to Shen Wancheng and took the initiative to talk to her.
"Sis, I want to go out and look for a job tomorrow."
"Sure, do you need us to go with you?"
Shen Mei pursed her lips, remaining silent, as if hesitating about how to begin.
Shen Wancheng immediately guessed it from her expression.
"You asked Brother Tao to go with you to look for a job?"
Shen Mei nodded somewhat shyly and gave a soft "Mmm".
