Chapter 570 - 250: Approaching the Wedding with Bai Qing
Ning Hao was training at the Koala Club, having successfully passed the evaluation a month ago.
It wasn’t because his skills were particularly outstanding; it was simply because there were so few candidates for the role of commander in the game.
The Koala Club signed eight people this time, including two commanders.
He was considered a backup for the Koala Club.
However, the Koala Club treated everyone equally, promising opportunities to play and offering the same contract.
But Ning Hao had already spent his fifty thousand; he still had to file taxes himself this year.
After receiving his signing bonus, he bought another car to support Li Yang.
The remaining points he had, he didn’t use them; he asked Zhang Mansheng if he wanted them, and gave them to him.
Although he used his own account, he definitely wasn’t looking to gain even a penny, regardless of profit or loss.
Now... it seems like it’s going to lose money.
He wasn’t worried about Zhang Mansheng losing money, after all, it was a goodwill gesture and they had already agreed to bear their own profits and losses.
The profit was his, and naturally, the loss was his too.
He was distressed about his own money.
Now with the two cars’ value halved, if the money in the stock market halves again, the year’s contract wouldn’t just be for nothing, he’d also have to cover tax expenses out of pocket.
Not only that, but he would have to put in a year’s salary.
Recently, boosting has been very popular, he was confident he could make two hundred thousand a year.
As for selling the stocks now? He hadn’t thought about it, even if selling now wouldn’t mean a loss.
He sent a message to Zhang Mansheng, "Mr. Zhang, do you want me to sell your Wanliu Capital stocks for you? The market doesn’t seem very responsive right now, I’m afraid they might start falling soon. Selling now wouldn’t mean a loss."
Zhang Mansheng asked, "What about yours?"
"I’ll wait a bit longer."
"Until when?"
"This... I don’t know either..."
"Hahaha, if you’re not afraid of losing, what should I be afraid of?"
"Fine, but you can’t blame me if you lose money later."
It was the first time Ning Hao said something without much confidence.
He was just waiting for a signal from Li Yang.
Li Yang had many ways of signaling, like previously clearing stock... which clearly told everyone he was leaving, so they should hurry up and withdraw too.
Even if it was Jiang Banxia who said it, it was the same as if Li Yang had said it.
It seemed like a casual remark, but in reality? Those two funds were cleared, weren’t they? Those who withdrew earlier took all the profits, and those who withdrew later at least gave back more than thirty percent.
Previously, when Jiang Banxia was losing, nothing was said, and there was no movement from Li Yang either.
Whatever Li Yang did, he followed closely at the first opportunity. No matter the situation, before receiving a signal, there was no rush to retreat.
This was something he concluded on his own and hadn’t told anyone, not even Zhang Mansheng.
However, this time he hadn’t invested much money, putting ninety thousand into the fund and two hundred and forty thousand into stocks.
Only doubling it might compensate for the loss of the two cars... but it was unlikely to happen.
He had a rudimentary understanding of stocks, but he understood how terrifying the market value of Wanliu Capital was.
It’s probably impossible for the market value to exceed six hundred billion, right?
"Strive to perform well in the competition, if I can renew the contract that would be best, if not, at least get familiar with the environment so that I’ll have an easier time taking orders later..."
He only knew that the Koala Team belonged to a wealthy woman, though she never came by, it was always Wu Tianqi handling things.
He had his own understanding of the game, but before, there was no analyst or anyone to help, so he couldn’t compile much data himself, nor was there a rehearsal platform.
The Koala Team was different, their personnel was well-organized, and even every scenario could be simulated by their crew.
Because of this, the biggest shortage a team has during competitions is on-the-spot command.
Everyone’s shooting skills are about the same, and reaction times are similar; any slight mismanagement might just forfeit the game.
Compared with another commander, Ning Hao was slightly lacking; his shooting wasn’t particularly strong and his reaction time wasn’t particularly fast.
Being an older player, he basically had to rely on ambush tactics.
As for the so-called commanding ability, it’s only reflected in concrete scores.
Ning Hao led his teammates in confrontations, but often lost to the opponents, mainly because his shooting skills held the team back.
He could handle rank matches, but on a professional stage, he wasn’t enough.
He could only study the gameplay more to bring better management to the team.
...
The second semester of his junior year ended, after the final exam on June 28, Li Yang had completed three-quarters of his university courses.
The last year had hardly any classes, and by November the courses would be completely finished.
The other three guys in the dorm started to get busy, all preparing for the Provincial Civil Service Exams at the end of the next year.
About sixty percent of Jing University students would choose to take the Provincial Civil Service Exams, and forty to fifty percent could pass them successfully, which is relatively high.
Li Yang was still the class monitor, even though his duties as monitor were now quite limited, no one wanted to replace him.
This monitor was terrific; the entire major was enjoying the exposure.
Furthermore, Li Yang held an exceptional status at Jing University; he elevated the university’s education with an e-sports championship for the first time, subsequently representing the new domestic business force with his entrepreneurship.
He was only twenty-one, in his junior year.
Jing University still kept Jiang Banxia’s student status, allowing her to enroll in the fall with no issues at all.
But Jiang Banxia herself didn’t want to study anymore.
Studying didn’t bring her any benefit.
Li Yang not only had the WeChat contacts of his entire major but also quite a few students from the whole school, totaling over two thousand contacts.
