Chapter 134: Getting ready for a trip!

Investing, especially the kind of adrenaline-pumping, high-risk, high-reward plays, can certainly deliver an unparalleled dopamine rush, but it comes with an overwhelming sense of responsibility.
As the amount of money Su Hao controls grows ever larger, the invisible pressure snowballs, increasing daily.
The thrill of manipulating massive sums of money in the capital markets, of turning the tide with a flick of the wrist, is undeniably addictive and exhilarating.
However, the resulting mental strain and psychological pressure are far beyond what most people can bear.
It's like a poison coated in honey, bringing fleeting euphoria but with endless consequences.
This time, in particular, he's left utterly exhausted.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep in days.
He kept having the same nightmare: Fanghuan Investment went bankrupt and was liquidated because of his reckless actions, and he himself became the scapegoat.
Several times, he would jump out of bed in a cold sweat.
"Damn it, if I'd known it would be this agonizing, I would never have gone this far."
Su Hao muttered to himself, rubbing his throbbing temples.
Of course, when the situation miraculously reversed at the last moment, and their short positions miraculously survived and began to profit wildly, the ultimate thrill of escaping death and turning defeat into victory was truly indescribable, exhilarating, and bone-chilling.
However, if you asked him to go through that again… he wouldn't do it even if you beat him to death! It's just too damn agonizing!
Su Hao followed the news closely, his gaze falling on the developments at Jiangjin Group, and he couldn't help but marvel.
Based on his past experience, he had assumed that after suffering such a heavy blow from the global "ban" on the Note 7 phone, Jiangjin Group, even if not severely damaged, would at least be in a prolonged slump.
After all, being completely blocked from the US and European markets was tantamount to having one's throat choked.
However, the response from Jiangjin Group's Chairman, Qin Han, was astonishingly swift and ruthless.
First, they made a decisive move, announcing a global recall of the problematic phones, promising either free replacements or full refunds, displaying a resolute stance.
Immediately afterwards, they announced a high-profile overhaul of their entire production and quality control system, investing heavily, claiming it was a "radical reform."
Moreover, Jiangjin Group seemed to be more than just talking; they had genuinely begun a sweeping overhaul of their production lines, thoroughly overhauling and upgrading their existing facilities.
They adopted a stance of sparing no expense and breaking with the old to establish the new.
Perhaps it was precisely Jiangjin Group's swift and decisive response, its do-or-die attitude and swift action, that gave the market a temporary glimmer of hope.
The stock price, which had been plummeting, slowly halted its decline and even showed signs of stabilizing!
"So... this is the real reason my intuition told me to buy!"
Su Hao looked at the stubbornly upward-rising candlestick and suddenly understood.
Just when Jiangjin Group's stock price was at its lowest point, and the market was filled with despair, Su Hao's incredibly accurate "intuition" struck again.
He acted decisively, ordering all short positions to be liquidated, then immediately went all in, buying at the bottom – a full-on "all-in"! He poured all his funds into the market, going all-in on long positions!
"Brother, what are you muttering to yourself over there?" A voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Hmm? Oh, nothing." Su Hao snapped out of his reverie and casually closed the financial news on his tablet.
His sister, Su Hui, carrying a plate of sliced ​​fruit, appeared behind him at some point.
Right, it was the weekend, a rare opportunity to rest at home; he couldn't stay working all the time.
This battle with Jiangjin Group had taken its toll on him; he'd been under immense mental stress for so many days, and he definitely needed to recharge and recharge.
"Brother, how about we, as a family, take a trip sometime?"
His sister, Su Hui, blinked her big, watery eyes, looking at him expectantly.
"Hmm?" Su Hao was somewhat surprised.
"Look at you, all you do is work, work, work! You've made a lot of money, but what's the use of just saving money?
You have no time to rest, no time to spend it, you're practically a miser!
Money is meant to be spent, right? Besides, you should take a break. You're working so hard all the time, never resting.
What if you make a lot of money but your health collapses?"
Su Hui pouted and complained.
Su Hao smiled wryly.
"Uh…that makes sense."
Rest…
He himself felt that he had indeed been too tense lately, and it was time to relax.
This incident made him feel like his brain was about to be overheated by excessive dopamine; if he didn't cool down, it might burn out.
"Then…where should we go?" Su Hao readily agreed.
"Hmm~ Europe? America? Japan? Korea? Anywhere is fine!
Our hotel has connections in passport processing, so just decide on the dates and locations, and I'll take care of the rest!
How about Japan? It's close, convenient to travel to and from, no jet lag, and great value!"
Japan is indeed one of the most popular choices for Chinese tourists, attracting a huge influx of visitors every year.
"Japan... specifically, where?"
"Let me see! I'll find you a map. There are so many tourist attractions there, it'll dazzle you!"
Hearing there was hope, his younger sister perked up immediately, excitedly holding her tablet up to him. Her slender fingers swiped across the screen, introducing everything as if she knew it all by heart:
"The safest, most popular choices are definitely Tokyo and Osaka! Shopping, eating, and more—you can't go wrong!
Besides that, there are many other unique little places. If Mom and Dad want to soak in hot springs, Izu is also a great option..."
As she spoke, she circled several place names on the map, her spittle flying, her enthusiasm running high.
"Oh, right! There's another place that's been super popular online lately, lots of influencers have been there—Kumamoto!"
"!?!"
However, when the word "Kumamoto" slipped out of his sister's mouth and lightly reached Su Hao's ears, he felt as if he'd been struck by an invisible electric current!
My body jolted violently without warning!
"That place, I've heard, combines the vibrancy and convenience of the city with the tranquility and beauty of the countryside.
Moreover, their automobile and motorcycle manufacturing industries are very developed, and there are many venues showcasing the latest electronic technologies. Their tourism industry is also thriving!
Oh, and by the way, the hot springs there are absolutely amazing..."
Su Hao felt a sudden dizziness, his head spinning, and he even had difficulty sitting steadily on the sofa. The whole house seemed to be shaking violently!
