ine let out a sigh and said, “It’s really frustrating to have to keep moving like this.”
Jovie responded nonchntly, “It really doesn’t bother me if we keep relocating. Over the past few years, we’ve purchased a house every time we moved. The ce we’re currently living in is the new house we bought justst year.”
ine was taken aback by Jovie’s family’s financial capabilities. The idea of buying a house seemed almostughable to her, and she could hardly believe it.
Curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, “Sister Jovie, aren’t housing prices in New York quite high?”
With a slight smile, Jovie replied, “It’s not as bad as you might think. In a ce wherend is so expensive, high property prices have their own justification. Buying a house here isn’t just spending money; it’s an investment.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Intrigued, ine pressed on, “So, how much does it actually cost to buy a ce in New York?”
Jovie paused for a moment before casually answering, “In Manhattan, you’d need around 10 to 20 million US dors for a t, and in the vi areas of Long Beach, prices start at about 30 to 50 million US dors.”
ine was left speechless, eximing, “That’s way too expensive…”
“It’s not that bad,” Jovie chuckled, recalling that ine once boasted about living in a high-end Tomson and driving a Rolls-Royce back in China. “It’s simr to your Tomson Yipin vi; if you converted it to US dors, you could buy a really nice house here.”
ine smiled and nodded, but she couldn’t shake off a sense of inferiority. She felt that, inparison to Jovie, she wascking. Even though she resided in a luxurious home and drove an expensive car, neither truly belonged to her. At this moment, her only assets were two nes from the Goddess Dream collection.
Jovie’s situation was quite different; she had made a considerable fortune from her business ventures in China. Even after relocating to the United States, her investments in the stock market and real estate had been highly sessful. She was a self-made woman, having provided her son with startup capital for his business in America. ine couldn’t help but admire her strength and sess.
That was precisely why ine wanted to befriend Jovie.
Reflecting on this, she sighed and said, “You’re truly impressive, Sister Jovie. You’re so much stronger than I am.”
Jovie humbly replied, “I’ve just been fortunate. In recent years, my family’s finances weren’t so plush. I managed to invest in a few shares of Chinesepanies listed in the U.S. when their prices were low, and they skyrocketed almost twenty times.”
“Twenty times?!” ine gasped, feeling a bit dizzy. “Which stock could possibly go up that much?”
Jovie smiled and exined, “Several of our domestic new energy vehicle stocks hit a low of one dor per share. When the new energy concept took off, those stocks soared to dozens of dors, peaking at about forty to fifty times their value. I was lucky enough to buy in at a good time and ended up seeing returns of over thirty times.”
ine listened, her eyes wide with disbelief, and remarked, “Over thirty times… If you invest 10,000, that’s over 300,000; if you put in 300,000, you could make 100 million…” She quickly turned to Jovie and asked, “How much did you invest back then?”
Jovie replied, “Not a huge amount, just 200,000.”<fn422e> Chapters first released on find?novel</fn422e>
“Oh my…” ine gasped. “That’s over 60 million! In US dors! Sister Jovie, you’re incredible! If something like thates up again, please take me along!”
Jovie smiled gently, “Sure, when you’re ready to open a US dor ount for your child, I’ll help you get started with trading stocks.”
ine expressed her gratitude, “That would be amazing! Thank you, Sister Jovie! I’ll set it up as soon as I return to China!”
Just then, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing sses and an apron, stepped out. Upon seeing the beautiful ire, his eyes widened momentarily, but he quicklyposed himself and said with a smile, “Mom, dinner is ready. Please follow me to the dining room!”
