In the evening, Chen Haoxuan took Amanxi Qibin to New City to see his carved works. When Amanxi Qibin saw the sculptures created by Chen Haoxuan, his first thought was not to buy the sculptures, but to manufacture a car that looked exactly like them.
"Mr. Chen, are you planning to produce such a car?" Amanxi Qibin excitedly asked Chen Haoxuan. If Chen Haoxuan said yes, he would definitely want to invest.
Chen Haoxuan shook his head and smiled helplessly, "I would love to, but with current technology, it's impossible to create such a car."
"What a pity! What a pity! If we could make such a car, it would be amazing to drive around! The profits would surely rival those of the All-Purpose Phone," Amanxi Qibin sighed in disappointment.
"Manufacturing such a car is currently impossible. Mr. Amanxi Binzi, you should take a good look at whether this sculpture is worth twenty billion RMB," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile.
Amanxi Qibin carefully examined Chen Haoxuan's sculpture, occasionally taking out a magnifying glass to see if it was truly a perfect piece. Half an hour later, he patted Chen Haoxuan on the shoulder and said boldly, "Twenty billion RMB; I want it!"
To be honest, Chen Haoxuan wasn't sure if this stone-carved car could sell for twenty billion RMB, and he was surprised that Amanxi Qibin was really willing to buy it.
"Then I must congratulate Mr. Amanxi Binzi; congratulations on acquiring another treasure," Chen Haoxuan said with a slight bow and a smile.
"I'll return in a few days; on the day I come back, I'll give you the money. As for your work, let's leave it here for now!" Amanxi Qibin said happily. He was thrilled to successfully purchase Chen Haoxuan's work. His return in a few days had a purpose; he wanted more of Chen Haoxuan's pieces so that when he held exhibitions in the future, he wouldn't just have one or two of Chen Haoxuan's works but an entire room full. Just thinking about it excited him; what an impressive thing that would be!
"No problem! Come on, Mr. Amanxi Binzi; today it's my treat! Let me take you to Entertainment Street in Pingyuan County for some fun; I guarantee you'll have a great time," Chen Haoxuan said joyfully. Earning twenty billion RMB made him feel calm and collected. If it were anyone else who earned that much money, they would likely be rolling on the ground in excitement—that would be normal.
Amanxi Qibin had never been to an Entertainment Street like Pingyuan County before. He went wild having fun all night without sleeping—going from arcades to bars to dancing and ice skating among other entertainment options. The next morning, he kept pestering Chen Haoxuan to carve some more small items for him.
Chen Haoxuan had no choice but to take some high-quality Water Stone and carve some beautifully designed dolls for the future since he was working with fist-sized stones. Therefore, he could carve them quickly—about one every hour.
Amanxi Qibin had a hard time convincing Chen Haoxuan to carve some stones for him. Now that Chen Haoxuan agreed, he wanted to seize the opportunity and have Chen Haoxuan carve as many as possible. The more, the better; this way, he could hold an exhibition featuring only Chen Haoxuan's works, which would bring him face, money, and fame.
Amanxi Qibin was being quite unreasonable. Initially, he asked Chen Haoxuan to carve some stones to sell to him. Chen Haoxuan spent an entire day carving and sold all the pieces to him, yet Amanxi Qibin claimed it wasn't enough and insisted that Chen Haoxuan carve more, even offering to pay double. The pieces Chen Haoxuan was currently carving were only fist-sized; how much could they sell for? Even at double the price, it would only amount to one or two hundred thousand.
Chen Haoxuan comforted himself that carving more would earn him a bit more money since he had nothing else to do for now. However, as he continued working, a whole week passed. Amanxi Qibin still wanted Chen Haoxuan to keep carving, but Chen Haoxuan refused. He didn't want to carve small stones for little profit; if it weren't for Amanxi Qibin's persistent requests, he wouldn't have carved any at all. However, he felt reassured that his week of work wasn't in vain as Amanxi Qibin paid him One Hundred Million RMB.
Amanxi Qibin did not come in vain; he obtained so many works from Chen Haoxuan that he could be considered the person with the most of Chen Haoxuan's works in the world—more than even Chen Haoxuan himself.
Upon returning to the United States, Amanxi Qibin's first task was to hold an exhibition showcasing Chen Haoxuan's works. He proactively invited many wealthy individuals and even enlisted several newspapers to help advertise. It was clear that Amanxi Qibin was showing off; everyone could see it. While they looked down on him, they had to admit that he had the means to flaunt his success.
Chen Haoxuan researched the current stock market using his computer. After several days of investigation, he went to the Capital of Hua Country where Su Shiyin was located. He intended to find her and take her to the United States for stock trading. In Chen Haoxuan's view, making money from his fellow countrymen wasn't impressive; making money from foreigners was where true skill lay, and it came without guilt.
When Su Shiyin learned that Chen Haoxuan wanted to take her to the United States for stock trading, she was thrilled; she could finally step into the world. However, she was surprised when she found out that Chen Haoxuan brought twenty One Hundred Million RMB for trading—wasn't that a bit too much? Did he intend to earn all the foreigners' money?
A week later, Chen Haoxuan arrived in the United States with Su Shiyin and her subordinates. Upon arriving, he didn't immediately start trading but spent his days mingling in the stock market to meet more traders. Meanwhile, he assigned Su Shiyin the task of recruiting subordinates whose job was simple: buy whatever stocks they were told.
Another week passed, and by then, Chen Haoxuan had met many people in the U.S. stock market and learned a lot about trading. He felt ready to take action and began trading stocks himself. He bought shares from several herbal medicine companies because he had heard that a European country was about to go to war, which would surely require a large supply of medicines. By purchasing those stocks in advance, when war broke out, Chen Haoxuan would make a fortune.
Much of what Chen Haoxuan knew came from his own reasoning skills. With his involvement, the U.S. stock market became lively; the stocks he purchased kept rising in value since he bought them at low prices while others bought later on. No matter how much they bought afterward, they couldn't earn as much as Chen Haoxuan.
There were plenty of talented traders in the stock market who knew how to trade well. Many realized why the herbal medicine company's stocks suddenly surged and began investing their money into them as well.
