After confirming with Zhang Guoqing, Zhou Jiao, without needing Miao Tianming to urge Heizi to find her, made an international call accompanied by Heizi.
Phone charges are ridiculously expensive.
It’s absolutely necessary though; time is money, and these days are equivalent to snatching money alongside financial giants.
This time, Zhou Jiao unhesitatingly withdrew the funds from gold futures and invested entirely in oil futures, knowing that the Iran-Iraq war was about to break out.
What surprised her was: this time her little cousin didn’t, like last time, repeatedly ask her to confirm or mention that oil prices were already a bit high.
But she did remember one thing.
Miao Tianming had already received her letter, saying he detailed everything in his reply. The letter should arrive this week, and she should keep an eye out for it.
So, let’s see what the reply says?
It’s really hard to explain everything clearly over the phone in a short time.
Moreover, although she was willing to spend the money, the people at the post office were not happy about it; didn’t you notice someone was staring intently at her and Heizi? For what?
It’s really crazy!
Zhang Guoqing listened to his wife’s grumbles, chimed in a few words, and asked about the issue he cared most about: "Has Xiao Ming found a manager?"
"Lawyer Xue has already been contacted to handle it. He said he would send a fax to Heizi in a few days for me to choose one, but I said forget it, it’s too troublesome. As long as he sees someone he likes, it’s fine."
"That’s good. Keeping an eye on the stock market could interfere with his studies." Zhang Guoqing didn’t say another thing; with a manager, his wife won’t have to work so hard; just a directive would suffice.
It seems the domestic situation is getting better and better, and international mail is arriving faster.
Not long after making the phone call, Zhou Jiao received an overweight international letter from Heizi.
——A thick stack of more than a dozen sheets of paper, besides his longing, also included a detailed settlement list. Of course, it subtly mentioned something else.
Her unacquainted Miao uncles had also gone crazy along with her, reportedly caught in a cash-earning frenzy, asking what she wanted and to watch for a big package before the new year.
Miao Lishan read the letter’s contents, flipped through it again, and laughed so hard she couldn’t close her mouth: "Didn’t dare to write down how much they earned in the letter; I guess they really made quite a bit."
Zhou Jiao nodded. They had money and it was easier for them to reinvest, unlike her, stuck domestically.
"Xiao Ming must be really accustomed there now; I wonder if he’ll come back to visit? Are university holidays abroad the same as ours?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head with a laugh, "He still has to take over his father’s company; he’ll be busier during breaks than in school. Besides, having just invested a sum, he definitely can’t return in the short term."
"That’s right; maybe your three uncles will still follow you this time."
Zhou Jiao nodded in agreement. It’s a given; though speculation doesn’t feel as secure as doing real business, who would turn down more money? Especially with sure-fire oil.
A family like the Miao Family, whose descendants are spread across the developed countries worldwide, naturally have the foundation and capital to know more financial people, possibly gaining more information resources.
Should she think about stepping out too?
Miao Lishan saw her daughter spacing out again while talking and nudged her, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Jiao came back to reality with a nudge and smiled, "Nothing much. Mom, have you seen Aunt Zuo recently?"
"What’s up? Does she have a situation? Isn’t she busy helping your second sister-in-law taking care of her kids? Oh right, is Juhua going back for the New Year?"
That was something Zhou Jiao hadn’t considered.
Normally she worked on weekdays, only visiting over the weekends. If she had other weekend engagements, she would find a weekday evening to visit with Zhang Guoqing.
