Chapter 558: Chapter 558

Rural towns couldn’t compare to big cities where investment opportunities were already scarce. Just so happened, in recent years, more and more villagers, those with a bit of spare change, had grown aware of the concept of financial management. They all knew why city folks were getting richer, and it was all down to two words: financial management. Because of this, these villagers had not spared efforts in inquiring how to manage finances, each of them eager to make their money grow.

The issue was, how could one make their money grow? Like Grandma Gu, Grandpa Gu, Second Uncle Gu, and Second Aunt Gu, who hadn’t attended school at all, could only rely on hearsay and others’ introductions.

Second Aunt Gu’s son-in-law introduced a friend, surnamed Zhang, known as Xiaozang. Last time, Xiaozang recommended a financial product to Second Aunt Gu’s family, and this month, after they invested in this product, they received their first batch of interest, which was unexpectedly abundant, greatly pleasing Second Aunt Gu’s household.

Seeing that the second child’s family had made money from their investment, Grandpa Gu started to feel envious, didn’t he?

Because originally, both old folks were naturally cautious and didn’t dare to trust easily, so they let the second child’s family try it out first.

The successful trial by the second child had secured a path for the elderly.

Now, Xiaozang came here, and incidentally recommended a newly launched financial product to Second Aunt Gu’s family and Grandpa and Grandma Gu, saying, "This one offers even more returns than the last one you guys invested in. The reason is simple, it’s a financial product specially set up by our boss, eyeing a large overseas investment project. There’s no need to mention the reliability of the project, you’ve all received the interest, and seen our boss’s capabilities. Absolutely capital-protected, definitely higher than the bank’s interest."

Speaking of the bank’s interest, that was truly a sad topic for ordinary folks, too low, simply unable to keep up with inflation. Moreover, it seemed the economy had been sluggish recently, with bank interest rates dropping further, and even villagers now understood that putting money in the bank wasn’t earning, but a losing business.

Investment was a must, investing was essential!

Whether it was Second Uncle Gu, Second Aunt Gu, or Grandpa and Grandma Gu, they all firmly thought so. Because if prices kept rising , not to mention not being able to afford pork, even the annual increase in their burial fees would mean they could hardly afford to die.

"How should we invest in this?" Second Aunt Gu asked.

Xiaozang cleared his throat and introduced, "Since the interest is a bit higher, there’s a threshold, a minimum of fifty thousand to start."

Fifty thousand? Second Aunt Gu’s family couldn’t come up with that. Because they had just invested the twenty thousand yuan they had saved at home in the last project, and most of their money had gone into buying this house. The remaining ten or twenty thousand had to be kept for emergencies.

Grandpa and Grandma Gu’s eyes flickered, wondering whether to make a move.

They could come up with fifty thousand. Over the years, by being frugal and saving the money given by their children and grandchildren each year, they had accumulated that amount. However, the old couple pondered, not wanting to shoulder this risk alone, thus, Grandma Gu looked again towards their second child, saying, "Why don’t we split it half and half? Your dad and I don’t have much money, and we’re old with no income. You young folks can still earn money." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel※fire.net

In truth, the second child’s family was also itching inside, thinking about the high returns and feeling that not taking action was like letting a big fish slip from their mouth.

Moreover, Xiaozang, sitting opposite them, disclosed a piece of news that made them even more anxious. Xiaozang said, "This is an internal purchase with a quota. If you weren’t acquaintances, I wouldn’t have brought this project to you. Once sold out, honestly, there will be no more."

"How many people have bought it?" Second Aunt Gu promptly asked eagerly.

"I can only tell you secretly, it’s already sold seventy to eighty percent. And because I’m not the only one selling it, the boss has many friends who, upon hearing this news, also followed suit. To put it simply, it’s like buying a house that sells out on launch day."
