Chapter: 4772
Ma Ran sighed, "It's always this moving around that's so tiring."
Chen Li Ping casually said, "Moving isn't a big deal, these few years, wherever we go, we just buy a new place. Like the house we're living in now, it was just bought last year as a new home."
Ma Ran was amazed at the financial power of Chen Li Ping's family, and buying houses seemed to be like playing games for her, so easy.
So she couldn't help but ask, "Chen sister, isn't New York real estate expensive?"
Chen Li Ping smiled slightly. "Actually, it's still okay. In a place where every inch counts, the high price of housing also has its own value. Buying a house here isn't just consumption, it's an investment."
Ma Ran couldn't help but ask again, "How much money do you need to buy a whole house in New York?"
So Chen Li Ping thought for a moment and casually said, "To buy an apartment in Manhattan, you need to prepare at least $1-2 million. As for Long Island's villa district, it starts from around $3-5 million."
Ma Ran was taken aback and couldn't speak up. She blurted out, "This is too expensive...?"
"It's okay." Chen Li Ping thought back to Ma Ran's previous boasts about living in Tangchen Yinxin and driving a Lamborghini, and smiled as she said, "Just like your family's villa in Tangchen Yinxin, if you exchanged it for dollars, you could buy a very nice house in New York."
Ma Ran nodded slightly, but her heart was filled with some self-consciousness.
She felt that compared to Chen Li Ping, she was still lacking many things. Although she lived in a luxurious mansion and drove a luxury car, none of these things were truly hers, and what she had now was just two pairs of goddess's dream earrings, nothing more.
But Chen Li Ping's situation was different. According to her, she had made a lot of money from doing business in China before coming to the United States, even investing in US stocks and real estate, which had yielded a bountiful harvest. She was a standard female entrepreneur, and according to her, the startup capital for her son's venture in the United States came from her as well, so Ma Ran felt that she had both money and ability, far surpassing herself.
This was also the reason why Ma Ran wanted to befriend Chen Li Ping.
As she thought about this, she couldn't help but sigh, "You really have more power than I do."
Chen Li Ping modestly said, "I actually got lucky. Our family's financial situation wasn't as stable a few years ago, and the main reason was that we made some smart investments in the stocks of Chinese companies listed in the United States about two years ago, earning around 20 times our initial investment."
"Twenty times?!" Ma Ran felt dizzy and blurted out, "What kind of stock could possibly increase by 20 times?"
As she thought about this, she couldn't help but sigh, "You really have more power than I do."
Chen Li Ping modestly said, "I actually got lucky. A few shares of our domestically-produced new energy cars were at their lowest point, and one share even dropped to a dollar. In the end, the new energy concept went viral, and it suddenly shot up to several tens of dollars. At its peak, it increased by four or five times. I was a bit late in getting in on the bottom and got out early, so someone else did even better, earning thirty or more times their initial investment."
Ma Ran listened with her eyes red from excitement, lamenting, "Thirty or more times... If I invested one million and earned thirty or more millions, then if I invested three million, I could earn ten million..."
As she was speaking, Ma Ran quickly asked Chen Li Ping, "Chen sister, how much did you invest initially?"
Chen Li Ping said, "Not a lot, just twenty thousand."
"Good grief..." Ma Ran lamented, "This is over six hundred thousand! And it's in US dollars... Chen sister, you're too amazing! Next time there's an opportunity like this, can you also take me along?"
Chen Li Ping smiled slightly, saying, "Okay. When I have the time, let your child set up a dollar account for you, and I'll bring you to trade American stocks when the time comes."
Ma Ran listened to these words and thanked Chen Li Ping eagerly, promising, "This is great! Thank you, Chen sister! After I return home, I'll take care of it right away!"
At this moment, a man in his thirties with glasses and a vest walked out, looking at Ma Yan's beautiful expression. His pupils suddenly constricted sharply, and he looked taken aback for a moment before quickly adjusting himself and smiling, saying, "Mom, dinner is ready. Let's take our guests to the dining room!"
