Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1272

Chapter 1272: Chapter 1144: Should We Keep Playing?

If no one stops them, they can joke around and tease each other until midnight. Zhang Guoqing decided not to speak first and handed them the list Zhou Jiao gave him before he left.

In normal friendships, people don’t worry about gains and losses, but when it involves a significant amount of money, it’s different.

Zhang Guoqing didn’t want any rift in their friendship that was as close as real brothers, so the only way was to clearly lay out the accounts.

The four lists were identical, and Zhou Jiao listed the monthly closing prices of gold, along with recent trends and projected exit prices.

The four thousand in cash they provided back then really drained their savings, which even included the rent for the new courtyard rented to foreigners for half a year.

Although all the couples received salaries, and their parents were generous in their support, they were all spendthrifts. Zhou Jiao was worried they wouldn’t be accustomed to it.

Everyone has their own goals, some adventurous, some prefer stability. Their initial motive was somewhat to support us as a couple.

Since they entered the market early in April, the price of gold rose to nearly $735 per ounce by this New Year’s.

The profits are staggering, giving off a bit of a gambling vibe.

In the short term, Zhou Jiao plans to exit the gold futures when it rises to about $850 USD this month.

Consequently, the future direction of their investment funds depends on their discussion with their wives.

Yi Jiefang and the others already knew gold had risen so much, but seeing the list in their hands, they truly felt shocked.

For Zhou Jiao to list it so meticulously means the profits are indeed real.

The four of them exchanged glances, then looked at Zhang Guoqing.

"What are you looking at me for?" Zhang Guoqing raised an eyebrow, "My wife says it’s enough, time to settle accounts. Should I have the money sent over from abroad?"

He didn’t speak much about the next steps, leaving room for his buddies to consider. His wife was determined to maximize profits, planning to invest in the oil futures market.

Yi Jiefang and the others exchanged looks and laughed together.

Zhang Guoqing tapped his finger on the table, "What now?"

"First, tell us if your wife plans to keep playing with this?"

"We’ll stick with my wife, if she wants to return the funds, we’ll join her."

Wan Dayong nodded in agreement, "That’s the idea. Tell Jiao Jiao not to feel any burden. From the beginning, we were prepared to lose all our capital. Now that we’ve made money, if we lose it all, we’ll just treat it as an unexpected windfall for her to enjoy."

For that kind of comment from his buddies, Zhang Guoqing wasn’t surprised. They’ve been friends for nearly twenty years, and he’s confident he and his wife didn’t misjudge them.

Besides, not to brag, as gold prices rose, many people wanted a piece of the action. If he loosened his grip, the doorstep of his house would be worn down by visitors.

But it’s better to get the harsh truth out first. He chuckled, "The more you walk at night, the sooner you run into a ghost. Losing everything is still a possibility. Have you thought it through?"

"Of course, it’s just like gambling. Who knows, a sudden change out there could happen anytime."

"Who cares! If we lose, we lose. We have salaries now, even the courtyard rent is enough to live on."

"Let’s stop delaying, let’s do it."

After they finished speaking, Zhang Guoqing pondered for a moment and suggested, "How about this? I’ll have the principal sent back from abroad, and we can save up some overseas remittance vouchers for our families.

Since we’re all making money, we should let our wives and kids enjoy it too, right? Then the remaining funds can be jointly invested with my wife."

Yi Jiefang thought over his words and gestured to the others to decide for themselves.

He’s got a good relationship with Zhou Jiao, and she always shares her overseas vouchers with him, so even if the funds aren’t moved, it’s no big deal.
