TISHW 11




Chapter 11 Recruitment Season

While the audience was placing bets, Jiang Yu on the screen had already started operating.

  【Huh? The same operation as God Ye. 】

Since it was a simulation machine, the data and information were synchronized except that the overall time was shortened proportionally. Even though Ye Yuanyu entered the market early, the prices and data of various materials on the screen were exactly the same as Jiang Yu.

However, in order to make it easier for the audience to understand, the investment simulation system had been simplified as a whole. For example, there were only four investment projects: cotton, pork, hotels, and cement.

After Jiang Yu sat down, she pulled up the data one by one. Then she directly chose cotton to buy. At this time, Ye Yuanyu nearby performed the same operation.

However, just when they were about to click on it, a news message suddenly popped up on the trader: "My country has had good cotton harvests every year. This year's cotton pest control has achieved initial results."

【Cotton has had good harvests year after year. Pests and diseases have been controlled. This means there is sufficient supply. Cotton prices should fall, right? It should fall. 】

  【Ah! God Ye clicked on it. The program team is so bad! This was off guard. Too easy to make a mistake. 】

【Fortunately, No. 100 is cautious...]

However, with these words still floating on the screen, Jiang Yu decisively clicked the buy button and invested it all in.

【? ? ? 】

【Isn’t she making an operational error? I’m pretty sure she paused before clicking. 】

【You really don’t understand, right? Professional matters aren’t that simple. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the top students become financial tycoons? 】

However, amidst the questioning of the audience, the curve representing the price of cotton cloth fell briefly. Then it began to rise. Sometimes it rose quite sharply.

  【What’s going on? Why does it rise? 】

There were knowledgeable people in the audience: 【It certainly should be rising. "Cotton harvests have been good every year" prove that the market supply is sufficient and prices are low. "Pest and disease control" is at "initial results", which proves that it is still suffering from pests and diseases. This year will definitely have no way of having a good harvest and cotton production will be reduced. So of course the price of cotton cloth will rise. 】

Only then did everyone realize:

【So God Ye and No. 100 did not make mistakes, but saw the opportunity at a glance. 】

The price of cotton cloth rose for about a minute. Ye Yuanyu sold the cotton, while Jiang Yu waited for a few seconds before taking action.

The remaining balance of funds between the two people was displayed on the screen:

Ye Yuanyu: 224

Jiang Yu: 125

After that, the two of them invested the settlement funds into cement almost at the same time...

Ye Yuanyu had a frigid personality, while Jiang Yu didn't like to talk. The operations without explanation made the audience somewhat bored. They turned their attention to the lively lottery machines and other places. This was until Xiang Chen and Jian Cang, who had had enough fun, sat down in front of the investment trading machine.

"Haha, although the lottery seems to have a high return rate, the uncertainty is too great." Jian Cang remarked, "And I suspect that the lottery machine has been programmed. The more the same person draws, the lower the winning rate will be. It’s easy to play astray. In the end, have to rely on this.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yu's simulator and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Holy crap, Elder Sister Yu, you are almost at 200?"

Only then did the audience's attention follow.

【? ? ? 】

【Those people who were unwilling to admit just now and said couldn’t earn 25 points in 3 minutes? She earned 50 points in 3 minutes. What do you say now? 】

【In the future, you should really be quiet when you don’t understand, otherwise you will be easily slapped in the face. 】

【The bigshot told us that there is nothing impossible in this world. It all depends on your ability. 】

……

However, after Jian Cang and Xiang Chen came over, the boring investment and trading area finally became interesting. Especially with the talkative Jian Cang. Everyone can understand their progress without staring at the screen.

For example, when he saw "influenza sweeping through southern tourist cities" and sold his hotel investment, Jian Cang shouted, "What's going on? Why is it going up? Shouldn't it go down?"

Xiang Chen apparently performed the same operation and looked at Ye Yuanyu.

Ye Yuanyu kept his eyes on the computer and explained calmly, "It's just influenza. Although it has a temporary impact on tourism, the impact will not be particularly big. Moreover, after the cold passes, there will be retaliatory travel. Investments are about future trends, so it should be rising.”

Jian Cang said, "Then should I buy it back now?" After saying that, he immediately rejected it, "No, the cost is too high. Even if I buy it now and the rate of return rises again, it won't be as good as pork. Let's switch to pork."

Still, he can't help but thump his chest and stamp his feet, "Minimum, I made 10% less ah! My heart hurts."

Seeing that Xiang Chen had made a mistake, Jian Cang turned to look at Jiang Yu nearby. "Wow, Elder Sister Yu, the price has risen so high and you still aren't selling it! The sales this time will be more than three hundred!"

Ye Yuanyu, who was sitting at the edge, paused after hearing this and glanced at the funds in her lower right corner... She actually caught up. He was sure that he was using the optimal solution. If Jiang Yu's income was higher than him... Ye Yuanyu couldn't help but frown.

The audience was reminded by Jian Cang's words and noticed Jiang Yu's operation. They couldn't help but be surprised:

  【Holy crap! No. 100’s fund is almost the same as God Ye’s. Is she an investment expert? 】

【No, to be honest, she should be better than God Ye. Don’t forget that her starting stake was only 100, while God Ye had 170. 】

【And she entered the venue one minute later than God Ye. 】

【When I first saw her buying and selling silently, I had a feeling that it’s as simple as eating and drinking for her. But now when I compare it, she seems to have made no mistakes at all. 】

At first, it wasn’t obvious just by watching her and Ye Yuanyu's operations. But after watching other people's operations, everyone realized that this game wasn’t that simple. Even if the basic logic was correct and they knew whether it would rise or fall next, there were still many changes in the process. There was no pattern in the ups and downs of the curve. So even if many people make money, they can only make half of the profit. They even get anxious because of the fall and directly sell at a loss.

【It’s like watching myself getting into the stock market in my early years. When I bought it, it fell. When I sold it, it rose. It makes my heart sour to think about it. 】

In contrast, Jiang Yu's operation was as smooth as if she knew the topic.

【I am a finance major. I have been staring at No. 100 and God Ye. Their trading logic is similar, but the buying and selling of No. 100 are very close to the lowest and highest points. Ye Yuanyu is very powerful, but his operations are more secure. That’s why, this sister is either lucky or a financial genius. 】

【So who is this bigshot? 】

【It is said that she is an ocean queen from the acting school? 】

【Hahahaha... That's right. God Ye is from Sandaokou Vocational and Technical College. 】

After Jiang Yu's actions, the audience didn’t believe the initial rumors and felt that she was a top student who was evenly matched with Ye Yuanyu and the others.

Therefore, it was even more exciting to watch the competition between them. Especially as time went by, Jiang Yu slowly surpassed Ye Yuanyu and the gap continued to widen.

When the 60 minute mark was approaching, Jiang Yu had surpassed him by nearly 500 points.

This kind of close competition always made people unconsciously nervous.

【It doesn’t matter. God Ye’s principal is more than a thousand. The profit from one transaction is one or two hundred. There may be a chance to exceed it. Stay calm and sell at the highest point this time. 】

Just at this moment, Jiang Yu's timer placed next to the simulator suddenly rang: "There is still one minute to submit the points. Please submit them in time to avoid invalidating the points."

The audience didn’t know whether to be relieved or nervous:

【I almost forgot, she started five or six minutes earlier than God Ye and the others. God Ye still has a chance to surpass her! 】

【Maybe it will be similar? To surpass her in five or six minutes, he has to make four or five transactions with a profit of more than 10%. This isn’t that easy. 】

  【Oh? Why hasn't she moved yet? Too focused and didn't hear the prompt? 】

People around saw how focused Jiang Yu was and couldn't concentrate. Xiang Chen couldn't help but remind her, "Your time is almost up."

Jiang Yu glanced at the timer in front of her, nodded, and replied, "I know, thank you."  

Xiang Chen:......

She sat as steady as a rock. It made everyone next to her sit on pins and needles.

Jian Cang endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, "Elder Sister Yu, there are still 25 seconds."

"En." Jiang Yu still stared at the screen.

The audience couldn’t remain calm anymore:

【Ahhhh! Elder Sister, please hurry up. No. 99 has already gone out! 】

Shu Hua swiped the number plate right after Jiang Yu. When Jiang Yu's timer rang, hers rang. She behaved like an ordinary person. When she heard that there was one minute left on the time, she hurriedly ran to the lottery machine and bought a few more lottery tickets before going out.

Looking at Jiang Yu again, the audience’s hearts were rising and falling just like the curves on her screen:

【Overall, isn’t it rising? It’s very profitable to sell it now. Don’t go over time in a while and lose rather than gaining. 】

【This is the first time I’ve watched a program that makes my heart beat faster. Sister, stop torturing people and sell it now! 】

【Holy crap, the peak is here! Is she waiting for this? 】

【I have heard that the investment market is thrilling before, but I have never understood it. I didn’t expect to feel it here. 】

【Wow, sold, sold! Finally sold, hurry up. It's not too late! 】

【5 seconds left! Oh my god, Great Aunt, you finally stand up. I was anxious to death. 】

The moment Jiang Yu stood up, everyone on the scene breathed a visible sigh of relief. Others consciously made way for her and Jiang Yu quickly walked towards the door.

"Congratulations, the total points submitted are 1732 points."

"Didi, 60 minutes are up!"

The sound of the score reader and the timer sounded almost at the same time. Everyone's raised hearts relaxed.

Jian Cang made a motion to wipe away the sweat, looking like he was still frightened, "Why do I feel more nervous than her when it is her who is submitting the points?"

"Still, she is too calm."

Ye Yuanyu pursed his lips and stared at the price curve on the screen, "Her income increased by nearly 15% in these 50 seconds."

【Earned 200 more points in 50 seconds. I see the flames of war burning in God Ye’s eyes. 】

【I have a hunch that God Ye will definitely time it to the last second. 】

【No. 100 has a good start. 】

【I never expected that the most exciting part of this episode is not that they are chasing each other, but who reads the cards closest to the deadline. 】

【And then test the hearts of us audience? 】

In fact, the audience guessed it right. Not only Ye Yuanyu, but Xiang Chen and Jian Cang also started to time to the last second. Others followed suit, but everyone has different psychological qualities and different situations. Ye Yuanyu still had 1 second left when he came out. Xiang Chen had 3 seconds left. Jian Cang, as an esports player, was more accurate in calculating time. The swipe time and the timer almost completely overlapped.

Xiang Chen raised his hands and applauded, "Awesome."

Jian Cang said depressedly, "I was so focused on coming out at the last second, I ended up selling it two seconds late and losing dozens of points."

Everyone:...

Okay, he was truly a funny fellow.

After everyone completed the challenge, a secretary-looking woman came over and stated with a smile, "Congratulations to everyone for passing the practice session. We are now about to enter the final interview. Please follow me."

Everyone stood up. Shu Hua’s steps were suddenly hesitant, "We're going to have an interview now? I heard that the interviewer is the investigator from the last season of "All Rounder"." 

When she spoke, her eyes evaded with some guilt.

It dawned on Jiang Yu. Shu Hua liked acting in the book and she was very talented in this area. However, because Father Qin suppressed the Shu Family, her family members felt that it would be unsafe for her to enter the entertainment industry and strongly opposed it. Qin Shiyu was a member of the opposition. So she secretly participated this time, fearing that Qin Shiyu would make it difficult for her.

"The questions asked by the interviewer should have been prepared by the program team in advance, or can the interviewer ask questions flexibly?" Shu Hua asked, "If someone has a grudge against the interviewer, will they be easily eliminated? For example, making me, a liberal arts student, do science questions or something."

Jiang Yu burst out laughing. The heroine was really smart. On the surface, it seemed amusing, but she was pointing at Qin Shiyu through the screen, telling him not to use power for personal gain and deliberately target people, otherwise everyone would see it.

Jiang Yu felt that she and Shu Hua were in the same boat in this regard, so she went along, "Probably not. "All Rounder" has always been fair. The topics are either the same, or they highlight what everyone is good at."

Qin Shiyu, who was in the observation room preparing to go to the interview site, looked at the two girls on the screen. He stood up with a lazy smile, "This year's talents are good. Must live up to their expectations."

Jiang Mingquan, who was familiar with him, was shocked when he heard this, "Who has provoked you this time? Why are you thinking about torturing people out of the blue?"

The audience was happy to hear and see this: 【Haha, no matter who caused it, we like to watch God Yu torture people. 】

So ten minutes later, Jiang Yu saw someone sitting lazily behind his desk and said with a smile, "In order to prevent people from saying that the interviewer is unfair, the elimination of this level will be decided by you candidates. The time to test your people skills is here.”

Jiang Yu:? ? ?

Test what? She had a social phobia. So what kind of people do she need?

Oh, wait. She was currently an ocean queen. Ocean Queen's interpersonal relationships were terrifyingly great, right?

She looked at the mischief in the corner of the other person's eyes. This thing definitely did it intentionally!
