Chapter 15: Activating the Stock Prediction Scroll
If an ordinary person had made such a request, Qian Xiaoyuan absolutely would not have agreed.
Because such a request was too outrageous.
After all, they were a securities company, and it was impossible for them to call back off-duty staff just for one customer.
However, since Chen Pingan had produced a two-million check and demonstrated his capabilities, things were completely different.
Wealthy customers receive preferential treatment everywhere.
Chen Pingan was now enjoying this preferential treatment.
"Classmate Chen, please wait a moment. I'll call a manager over for you. You can sign the contract with her then, and you can also approach her if you have any future issues," Qian Xiaoyuan quickly said.
"Alright, thank you," Chen Pingan nodded and replied.
Qian Xiaoyuan quickly ran into the back room. A few minutes later, a beautiful female white-collar worker followed Qian Xiaoyuan out.
Sun Haitang looked at the young man before her, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She had heard Qian Xiaoyuan say earlier that a wealthy major customer had arrived, and he was even a high school senior.
It was said he had a two-million check intended for stock investment. Naturally, Sun Haitang had no intention of letting such a valuable customer slip away, so she quickly followed Qian Xiaoyuan out.
It was also good luck for Sun Haitang that she hadn't gone out for lunch, but had brought takeout back to eat in the back, and her relationship with Qian Xiaoyuan was quite good.
That's why Qian Xiaoyuan called Sun Haitang over for this kind of opportunity.
However, Sun Haitang was also smart; she had already told Qian Xiaoyuan that she would treat her to dinner tonight.
Qian Xiaoyuan naturally agreed happily.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. My name is Sun Haitang, and I am a Customer Manager at Donghai Securities. I am pleased to serve you. Are you looking to open an account?" Sun Haitang asked with a smile.
"Yes, I need to open a stock account. I also wanted to ask if you allow margin trading?" Chen Pingan asked.
"We can allow margin trading, but it requires an application. Furthermore, because you are a new account holder, the maximum leverage is only five times, and typically only one or two times leverage is offered."
Sun Haitang quickly explained.
"Then please open the account for me first," Chen Pingan said.
"Alright, let's go over here to complete the process."
Sun Haitang walked over to her workstation and began processing the paperwork for Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan had brought his ID card and bank card, so the account opening process was naturally very simple.
The stock account was processed quickly, but trading stocks in this era was still quite troublesome.
Because in this era, there were no smartphones, nor were there computers available for stock trading.
Therefore, if Chen Pingan wanted to trade stocks, he could only do it here at the securities company.
However, there was another way to trade stocks: directly entrusting Sun Haitang to execute buy and sell orders for Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan could currently only use this method to trade stocks.
As for security, there was no need to worry. After all, Donghai Securities was a legitimate major company, and Chen Pingan felt very reassured about that.
Chen Pingan then asked if the check could be transferred directly.
It turned out that the transfer could be processed directly on site.
This was much too convenient.
Chen Pingan immediately took out two checks, one for two million and one for three hundred thousand, and transferred all of it into his account.
Zhang Yong's fifty thousand had now been temporarily used by Chen Pingan.
Once he made money this time, he would pay Zhang Yong back, and he could even give Zhang Yong a little extra then.
The transfer was completed quickly. Sun Haitang's service was excellent, leaving Chen Pingan very satisfied and saving him a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, simply going to the bank to make the transfer would have been a very bothersome task for Chen Pingan.
The stock account was opened, and 2.3 million had already been deposited into the account.
Chen Pingan also applied for margin trading.
Margin trading was not something Sun Haitang could approve; it required specialized personnel at the headquarters to review and process it.
But in reality, this kind of thing depended on the capital involved.
The more capital, the faster the review process.
Chen Pingan's account already held 2.3 million, which was far wealthier than most accounts, so the review speed was relatively fast.
But even the fastest review still requires time.
While waiting, Chen Pingan asked, "Young Miss Haitang, may I entrust you to help me execute trades?"
"I am a student, and I probably won't have time to conduct trades."
"Of course, you can. It would be my honor to execute trades for you," Sun Haitang said happily, her heart skipping a beat.
Being able to execute trades for a customer was the happiest thing for managers like them, as it meant higher commissions.
"I will decide which specific stocks to buy and sell, but the actual operation will require you to handle it. You will essentially be my trader, is that acceptable?" Chen Pingan asked again.
"No problem. Many customers operate this way at our company," Sun Haitang said with a smile.
"That's good then," Chen Pingan nodded again, satisfied.
It felt very comfortable; all his requests had been met, which was a very pleasant feeling.
"I want to look at the stock trends now, is that possible?" Chen Pingan asked.
"Of course, you can," Sun Haitang quickly replied. After all, this was her customer, and she certainly needed to maintain a good relationship.
Sun Haitang had only been working here for a short time and didn't have many customers; Chen Pingan was already her most valuable client.
Therefore, when dealing with Chen Pingan, her service was the most dedicated.
If it were other managers who had many customers, they probably wouldn't have been so patient or offered such high-quality service when facing Chen Pingan.
The securities company also had a customer trading room.
There were computers here for use by customers who had opened accounts.
Chen Pingan was not yet qualified for the VIP trading room, but he could go to the retail investor trading room.
The stock market had already closed, but there were still quite a few people remaining to review stocks.
However, everyone kept to themselves and focused on their own affairs.
Sun Haitang helped Chen Pingan turn on a computer. The computers here were password-protected and required staff login to be used.
Sun Haitang naturally had this authorization.
Chen Pingan looked at the computer in front of him and felt a bit emotional; he hadn't seen one of those "big-butt" CRT monitors in years.
The computer's operating speed was a bit slow, but it was sufficient just for stock trading.
Chen Pingan pretended to check the stocks, but in reality, he secretly used the Stock Prediction Scroll.
