Chapter 7 — I stayed at the funeral home to study investment with the owner

After Trieu Khon's livestream video was posted, in just two days it surpassed 500,000 views. The title is:

"Discovering the funeral home at midnight, the female security guard burst out laughing in the freezer room, giving the whole world goosebumps."

My face wasn't completely exposed, but the angle was turned very clearly. Hottest comments:

"This security guard definitely knows something. A person who can laugh like that in a cold room must have yin and yang eyes and have mental problems."

Second hot comment:

"Don't look at the security guard anymore, the knocking sound in the freezer is the important thing! It sounds like a very strong rhythm, like someone is playing a rhythm inside."

Third hottest comment, over a thousand likes:

"Everyone is researching spiritual phenomena, and spiritual phenomena are chatting with the security guard."

After reading the comments, I turned off my phone and lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. Trieu Khon, traitor. 200 yuan would sell me out. But the impact of this is not over yet. Manager Ma called me up to talk.

“Tieu Ha, have you seen that video online?”

“The person in the video is you, right?”

Manager Ma's face is not very pretty.

"The freezer room is a work area, not a filming location. How can you bring outsiders in?"

“Manager Ma, I'm sorry, as a college friend I insisted on coming—”

“There will be no next time.”

He tapped on the table.

"Also, in the video of her laughing in the freezer, people took screenshots and spread it everywhere. Some family members called to complain, saying we didn't respect the deceased enough."

"Write a review. Five hundred words."

I wrote a real review. Five hundred words. By the time I wrote the three hundredth word, I ran out of ideas. The next two hundred words were all swapping the position of the sentence "I would like to seriously reflect on myself". Manager Ma took a look and then threw it back.

"Rewrite. Write with real emotions."

I returned to the on-call room, face down on the table. General Manager Truong's voice came from the direction of the freezer room.

"Tieu Ha, have you finished writing? Please help me look up the K-line chart of code 002856."

“…General Manager Truong, I am writing a review.”

"Why write that? Now your assets are more than your leader."

“Those are two different things.”

"Having money means being a father to the world. Don't you understand this principle?"

I buried my face deeper into my arms. A dead man is teaching me how to be human. What's more scary is... What he said makes sense. After the review, I began to seriously research the area in the East of the city. The information Chu Duc Hai gave me, after half a month of silently verifying, is almost certain - Thinh Hoa Group's purchasing plan will be officially announced next month. Current floor prices are at the bottom. If I buy it before the official announcement, as soon as it changes hands, I will immediately make a profit of forty percent. Not enough money. The cheapest apartment is 800,000 yuan. I have 310,000 yuan. There is a shortage of 490,000 yuan. Where can I find this? I sat dumbfounded in the on-call room. General Manager Truong suggested that I play with leverage.

"Should we borrow to buy? What are young people afraid of?"

Mr. Vuong immediately objected.

"Borrowing money to buy a house and borrowing money to bet on stocks are the same. If you win, you have bravery, if you lose, you jump off the building."

Chu Duc Hai stood in the middle of the mediation.

"The information is true, the risk is under control. But Absolutely do not borrow at high interest rates.”

Three dead people opened an investment analysis meeting for me. And I sat among the freezers, holding a notebook to record meeting minutes. The scene is bizarre to the extreme. Finally, I made a decision. Borrow money from Trieu Khon. It's not because he's rich. A short video blogger like him is actually not much better than me. But the last funeral home video earned quite a bit of advertising money. I called him.

“A Khon, how much did the last video make?”

“Advertising money plus donations, probably about 80,000 yuan.”

“Lend me 50,000 yuan.”
