Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Yan Ziyou smiled innocently but did not express his agreement.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Ziyou, if you successfully complete your study tasks in the morning, your parents will accompany you to play football in the afternoon."

"That's great!" Yan Ziyu jumped up happily and almost knocked over his bowl.

"Be careful, don't be too happy, eat slowly." Tian Yulan was reluctant to pour cold water on her son seeing how happy he was.

Yan Ziyu ate his food quickly, hoping that it would be over soon so he could play.

Zhang Yu pressed his chopsticks on Yan Ziyou's bowl and taught him, "Eat slowly. Chewing slowly helps digestion."

"Oh, I see." Yan Ziyu stopped eating and learned to chew the food slowly.

Tian Yulan felt relieved when she saw her husband suddenly become more attentive and take care of their son.

"The semester is about to start. The school may do a baseline test, and then there will be a parent-teacher conference. Do you want to go?"

Zhang Yu thought for a while and replied, "Sure, I will go to the parents' meeting."

Tian Yulan continued, "If you help share the housework like this, we don't have to hire temporary workers, which can save a lot of expenses. And I heard that you made a lot of money in the stock market. How much money did you make?"

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "About 10,000 yuan."

Tian Yulan asked tentatively, "When do you plan to withdraw the money from the stock market?"

"Wait until next week. The stock is doing pretty well now. It would be a shame to sell it."

"So what stocks did you buy? If you can make money, share more." In fact, Zhang Yu knew very little about the stock market, and this was just his casual response.

"I'll tell you your stock account tonight." Zhang Yu evaded the question.

"Oh, I see."

After lunch, Tian Yulan took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Zhang Yu hugged Yan Ziyu on the sofa and read English text together, correcting the child's pronunciation problems.

However, Yan Ziyu fell asleep after reciting for a while. Zhang Yu chose not to disturb him and let him get more sleep so that he would be more energetic to play in the afternoon.

An hour later, Yan Ziyou woke up and shouted that he wanted to play football.

Zhang Yu drove him and Tian Yulan to the court, and the three of them had a great time the whole afternoon. Later, even Tian Yulan, who usually didn't like to move, joined in, and the whole family had a great time together, and they all went home dirty.

After playing football, the whole family happily enjoyed pizza together and did not leave the restaurant to go home until 8 o'clock in the evening.

After returning home, Zhang Yu did not urge Yan Ziyou to continue studying. After all, after playing crazily in the afternoon, he was too active and his learning effect might be reduced. It would be better to let him have a good rest and recover his energy.

Tian Yulan originally wanted to bring up the issue of studying, but seeing how Zhang Yu had changed so much in the past few days, she did not speak to stop him, for fear of hurting his enthusiasm.

Yan Ziyou fell asleep quickly after taking a shower, showing how happy he was that day.

"School starts tomorrow, you must remember to pack his schoolbag." Tian Yulan whispered to her husband after coaxing her son to sleep.

"It's already been sorted." Zhang Yu pointed to the schoolbag on the desk, "I put the things I need for tomorrow according to the class schedule."

Tian Yulan still checked the schoolbag with concern, and after confirming that there was no problem, she praised Zhang Yu: "You have performed really well in the past two days. I originally wanted to reduce your pocket money."

Zhang Yu did not pay much attention to these little things and showed an indifferent attitude.

"It seems that you have made a lot of money in the stock market. Have you even ignored your own pocket money?" Tian Yulan walked up to Zhang Yu and put her hands on her waist and said, "Tell me honestly, how much private money do you have?"

Zhang Yu was a little annoyed about this topic. He really didn't like this attitude of being questioned. If he hadn't traveled to this world and had a family, he would never have chosen a partner with a strong personality like Tian Yulan.

It’s not that she is a bad person, but their styles of getting along are too contradictory, and the encounter between two strong people is likely to lead to disputes.

Tian Yulan was a very wise woman. She realized that her husband Zhang Yu was really angry, so she adjusted her tone and said gently:

“My husband is so capable now. He is good at raising children and investing. Why didn’t I realize it before?”

Zhang Yu's mood eased a little, and he said sincerely: "In the past, I was just lazy and did nothing. I will definitely actively improve in the future."

Tian Yulan smiled sweetly: "Look at your progress, how do you want to reward me?"

However, Zhang Yu noticed something strange in his wife's eyes, and there was a deep meaning in her words.

"I want to play some games." Zhang Yu found an excuse and quickly walked to the computer.

Tian Yulan watched her husband rush over to turn on the computer like a jumping monkey, and couldn't help feeling confused. In the past, he would obediently go to bed and wait for a simple instruction, but now his attitude is completely different.

At this time, she began to doubt her marriage. Did her husband no longer love her?

Zhang Yu naturally understood Tian Yulan's inner speculation, but he had just traveled through time, and although he received the memories of his predecessor Yan Peng, he did not carry those emotional ties. Looking at it from another perspective, his feelings for Tian Yulan were not strong, and his feelings for his son Yan Ziyou were more of a responsibility than a family affection.

As the person who knows him best, Tian Yulan couldn't have been unaware of his changes for a long time. Using the game as an excuse to avoid physical contact was also a way for him to keep a subtle distance from Tian Yulan and maintain his lie.

After turning on the computer, Zhang Yu did not play games, but downloaded stock software and devoted himself to stock market research. Through Yan Peng's memory, he knew that the stock market in the world before him was completely different from the market in the Siheyuan period of his previous life. Those familiar stock funds were nowhere to be found and no longer existed, but were replaced by a digital currency called Xingchen Coin.

Since he has no ability to predict the future, Zhang Yu cannot become rich overnight through speculation. Fortunately, because he has been reborn many times, his real wealth is the knowledge and experience accumulated in his life, not money.

In the world of All Is Well, Zhang Yu has devoted his life to the investment industry and is familiar with stock trends. After hours of research, he picked two stocks: Xiaolong Motor, a new energy vehicle manufacturer, and Ford Times, a company that specializes in producing automotive batteries. Although Xiaolong Motor performed mediocre in the early days, it has shown a rapid growth trend in the past two years; Ford Times has doubled its business several times due to the surge in demand for electric vehicles.

The reason why he valued the two companies was not only because they were similar in memory, but more importantly, their stock prices were not high at the moment, and there was a potential for huge gains. Out of caution, Zhang Yu collected detailed information about the two companies, analyzed them and made a decision to first sell part of the gold and then buy Xiaolong Automobile and Ford Times stocks.

He also remembered that the outbreak in the later part of the story would push up the prices of medical stocks, especially for companies developing vaccines. Unfortunately, the world here is different from reality, and the large number of companies in the medical industry makes it difficult for him to identify which one has investment potential.

After a busy night, it was already two in the morning, and Tian Yulan had already fallen asleep. There were many things waiting to be dealt with the next day, so Zhang Yu took the opportunity to leave a message to the company leader and asked for a day off.

Zhang Yu received a reply in the morning and was able to take a vacation smoothly. He volunteered to take the task of sending Yan Ziyou to school. Tian Yulan did not suspect anything, so she relaxed a lot. Yan Ziyou studied at Jiangzhou Fengfan Primary School. The school advocated a relaxed education and paid more attention to quality education instead of over-emphasizing scores, so it was not considered a top school.

Zhang Zexuan had already planned to arrange for Yan Ziyou to spend six years at Haifan Primary School. His goal was not ordinary, but the famous private school in the state, Wenlin Middle School. However, it was not easy to enter Wenlin Middle School. It was said that only top students were qualified to become a member.

Because of this competitive pressure, Tian Yulan did her best to send Yan Ziyou to various cram schools. In fact, Zhang Yu did not think much about Wenlin Middle School. He thought that this level of effort was not necessary. After all, for a family as wealthy as the Yan family, there was no need to compete too much with children from other ordinary families in academics.

In Zhang Yu's opinion, how can an educational institution lower than a university be called a prestigious school? And with the Yan family's strong wealth, there is no need to compete with others for educational resources. Yan Ziyou was destined to a different path since birth. He did not need to suffer from homework like ordinary children. He needed to receive more advanced learning to prepare to take over the family business.

If it were Zhang Yu, he would have arranged for Yan Ziyou to attend a fully enclosed top private school. The characteristic of this kind of school is that students do not need to take the college entrance examination, and can directly go to the world's top universities to study abroad. Moreover, the people you make friends with there are either rich or noble, which has more benefits than disadvantages for the expansion of the child's network and the long-term development of the Yan family.

Most families compete on knowledge, while wealthy families compete more on connections and resources. This is cruel but also a reality. Just as Bill Gates became the richest man, it was not only because he was smart and hardworking, but many people also overlooked that there was a mother who was an international business leader behind him.

Tian Yulan Yan Ziyou went to compete with ordinary people, but the final result pushed him into the abyss of depression. Isn't this a loss? But now, Yan Ziyou has become familiar with the daily life of elementary school. Changing to a new environment is obviously not feasible. After all, it will be very difficult to adapt to a new school. In addition, as a transfer student, it is even more difficult to integrate into the group of classmates, especially for those rich children.

When they drove Yan Ziyou to school, they were stopped outside the school gate, so Zhang Yu had to stop the car and walk with Yan Ziyou. "Yan Ming!" A call made Zhang Yu turn around, and he saw Xia Junshan and Xia Huanhuan running towards him.

"Huanhuan." Yan Ziyou was very happy to see his friend and took the initiative to greet him. In the eyes of the children, they were classmates and naturally had a close relationship.

Seeing this scene, Xia Junshan was quite puzzled, "Why are you sending the child today?"

"I'll be helping take care of Ziyou this month, so his mother Tian Yulan can have a break." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

As they were talking, the school was about to end. At this time, Xia Junshan looked at Zhang Yu with suspicion and said, "Oh, you have changed your personality. You actually know how hard Tian Yulan works."

"Things have changed during this period of time." Zhang Yu smiled, suggesting that Xia Junshan also had an assistant to take care of the children recently.

The two chatted as they approached the school gate. At this time, Xia Huanhuan took the initiative to hold Yan Ziyou's hand, and the two happily walked into the school. Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu joked, "Look, my boy is a good match for your daughter Wang Feiduo, how about we arrange a baby marriage?"

Xia Junshan pretended to be angry and said, "Don't joke around. My daughter can be married to anyone."

Zhang Yu smiled but said nothing: "I understand that you are obsessed with your daughter and a responsible father. But you have to give your child the right to fall in love, right?"

Xia Junshan punched Zhang Yu lightly on the shoulder, "What evil idea do you have? Let me tell you, my daughter is not allowed to have a romantic relationship before she graduates from college."

Zhang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "The girl will eventually become a wife when she grows up. Can you really bear to see her be alone for the rest of her life?"

Hearing this, Xia Junshan got a little angry and chased Zhang Yu to fight. The two of them walked towards the car. Before leaving, Xia Junshan shouted, "Yan Ming, find time to play basketball with me!"

"No problem, we can arrange it for the weekend and bring the kids along." Zhang Yu suggested with a smile.

"Okay, but only if your wife Tian Yulan is willing to let us go." Xia Junshan said with a smile, knowing Tian's serious attitude.

"Now I am the one who takes care of the children." Zhang Yu was quite proud.

"You still succeeded in such a small matter?" Xia Junshan said with a smile, "When your wife is angry, don't even think about resisting."

Listening to his old friend's teasing, Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly. The impression of Yan Peng as a henpecked man was deeply engraved in everyone's mind.

Xia Junshan still had work to do, so he couldn't chat with Zhang Yu for too long. They just agreed to play basketball on the weekend and then drive away.

Driving the car, Zhang Yu drove aimlessly through Jiangzhou City, and finally stopped at a reputable gold bank to inquire about the price of recycled gold. This is a well-known domestic store called "Zhou Fu", which has more than a thousand branches across the country and is very powerful.

After entering the store, Zhang Yu found the store manager and explained his purpose.

"Mr. Yan, if you have any gold that needs to be sold, we will purchase it according to the normal procedures." The manager did not realize that he was about to receive a big customer.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Yu asked, "What is the current price per gram of gold?"

The manager maintained a professional smile and replied, "Today's price is 390 yuan per gram. The specific recycling price depends on the purity of your gold."

Zhang Yu pretended to take out a small gold bar of about 500 grams from his pocket and handed it to the manager. Then, professionals took over to check the quality.

About fifteen minutes later, the manager came back with the gold bar and told Zhang Yu: "Mr. Yan, the purity of this gold bar is quite good and meets the recycling requirements of our store. We will buy it at 90% of the market price."

"That's 351 yuan per gram, and these grams are yuan." Zhang Yu calculated in his mind.

"Okay, how do we settle the bill?" Zhang Yu asked about the payment method.

The manager said, "Mr. Yan, can you provide the brand certificate of this gold?"

Zhang Yu was puzzled and asked, "Why do you need that thing? Isn't the purity of my gold very high?"

The manager explained: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, although we value the quality of gold itself, our gold shop will also refer to the brand during the recycling process. Different brands will bring different purchase prices."

Although Zhang Yu followed formal channels when purchasing, whether this is applicable becomes a question considering that he is buying in an uncertain world.

“If there is no brand proof, how will you set the price?” Zhang Yu asked, somewhat helplessly.

The manager said with a little embarrassment: "Mr. Yan, if you can't produce a certificate from a formal channel, our recycling may be limited."

Zhang Yu's face gradually darkened, and he asked, "Do all gold shops need brand certification?"

The manager replied: "That's not the case, but this is a high requirement for our gold shop. Some other shops may be more lenient, but the recycling price may be reduced to 60% or even 50% of the market value."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was surprised and asked, "Why is there such a big difference?"

The manager continued to explain: "Because we are a formal institution, we need to bear certain risks when receiving physical gold, so we have this consideration."

At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly understood: they were worried that the gold might be stolen. "Is there a place that can receive gold without a certificate?" he asked.

The manager laughed and said, "There are indeed such places - usually pawn shops have lower requirements for these. It's just that the pawn prices are often lower and they are liquid in nature, so the cash price is lower."

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yu decided to take part of the gold to the pawn shop. In the end, he only got about 500,000 yuan.

After getting the money, Zhang Yu quickly went to a securities company to open an account and invested in the stock market.

Unless there is a super bull market in the stock market, it is almost impossible to make high profits in the short term simply by buying and selling.
