Chapter 734: 729 thirty percent of shares

But soon he discovered something even more interesting.

When Gu Chen first laid eyes on this item, he could barely believe it and hadn’t expected it to appear here.

He always thought such things wouldn’t appear in the points mall.

Moreover, even if it did appear, it surely couldn’t cost just one point.

"Qianyang Holding Corporation, its top-listed subsidiary Qianyang Mineral Water, 30% of the shares."

Seeing this, Gu Chen found it unbelievable.

He hadn’t expected that the shares of Qianyang’s top-listed subsidiary would go for merely one point.

And it was 30% at that.

This was no trifling matter, as owning 30% would essentially allow him to gain actual control of the company.

For companies like this, even the founders might not hold more than 10% of the shares in their hands.

Especially people like Xiao Xiong, they would definitely distribute these shares to a variety of people.

All in all, this item took Gu Chen by surprise.

"System, after I buy this item, it won’t be directly made public and then discovered by him, right?"

Gu Chen was a bit skeptical at this point, because if he remembered correctly, stocks would be announced to the public once someone accumulated a 5% stake.

Although his relationship with Qianyang was just so-so, he wasn’t ready to burn bridges just yet.

If he were to directly control 30% and it was discovered by him, what would he think?

"This transaction is conducted entirely overseas, and Qianyang Mineral Water, the top-listed subsidiary of Qianyang Holding Corporation, is not listed domestically, so there is no need for disclosure."

After the system explained, Gu Chen suddenly became interested.

If what the system said was true, then he could totally buy it.

"Purchase the 30% shares."

Gu Chen didn’t really know if he would use this item in the future, but he wanted to be prepared just in case.

That way, if one day he and the Qianyang Holding Corporation really became adversaries.

Perhaps these shares could help him at a critical moment.

Of course, these were just speculations within Gu Chen’s own mind.

He wasn’t sure if this item would be useful, but having it was better than not.

At this moment, Gu Chen thought of something.

"Right, System, do you have any other kinds of miscellaneous stock-related items?"

Gu Chen eagerly asked the system.

Other things weren’t as important to Gu Chen.

Whether it was cash or mansions, their value seemed mediocre to Gu Chen.

But stocks were completely different.

Nowadays, if you blindly picked one, it would likely skyrocket in ten years.

Of course, the precondition is that the company survives the financial crisis.

Most companies that survive the financial crisis typically have no problems afterward.

Gu Chen studied the situation carefully.

"Currently, there are no other company stock rewards. Please wait patiently for the points mall to update."

The system notified Gu Chen in this way.

Not hearing about rewards involving other listed companies, Gu Chen felt a bit of regret.

He had even fantasized about becoming a shadowy tycoon, controlling all of the world’s top 10 listed companies.

To become the true behind-the-scenes boss of these listed companies.

Unfortunately, the system didn’t give him this opportunity.

Gu Chen could only sigh helplessly, putting the thought out of his mind.

Thinking so much about something so clearly useless was, obviously, of no real use; he might as well see what other rewards were available.

"Tianhua Security Company, a secret protection contract, with a protection period of one year."

He quickly discovered another item, a secret protection contract from Tianhua Security Company. Gu Chen didn’t know what it was for.

He clicked further in to examine it closely.

After looking at the product description, Gu Chen finally understood what it was.

Turns out this security company specializes in protecting various clients.

This company is very secretive, with very few people being aware of it, but they serve individuals who are generally among the top 1% of wealth in the world.

This secret protection contract lasts for a year, during which time the security company would protect Gu Chen’s personal safety. However, Gu Chen didn’t know where they were or who they were, only that they were always lurking near him.

Gu Chen thought it over carefully and then asked the system, "System, can this item be used by someone else?"

Frankly speaking, Gu Chen wasn’t very worried about his own personal safety, and if possible, he wanted to put Tang Wanyi’s name on this contract.

After all, he felt that compared to him, she was the one more deserving of protection.

And Ji Pianran also needed more protection.

"Items from the points mall can only be used by the host and cannot be gifted to others.

Should it be discovered that the host has gifted an item to someone else, the reward will be reclaimed."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was momentarily taken aback.

"So you mean it can’t be sold either?"

He felt that the system’s rule was a bit absurd.

If it could only be used by himself, then Gu Chen thought the item very impractical.

Because there were many things he wouldn’t need, but selling them could result in valuable connections or a considerable sum of money.

"It can be sold, but not below the item’s intrinsic value, otherwise, it will be deemed as intentionally disrupting the economy."

The system gave this tip.

After hearing this, Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it was sellable, that was good. His fear was that it could not be sold.

As long as it could still be sold, it meant the item could eventually be sold one day.

Gu Chen then carefully perused the points mall and bought a bunch of interesting things.

However, these items were all basically ineffective in the short term.

Or you could say that in the short term, it was not apparent that these items would provide any benefit, but if looked at in the long run, they would all be very helpful to Gu Chen in the future.

At this time, Gu Chen stepped out from the space.

He curiously awaited the system to announce the third task.

The first two tasks were incredibly easy for Gu Chen.

So, regarding the third task, Gu Chen thought it was likely to be a challenging one.

He waited quietly here, believing that the system would announce it soon.

However, this time Gu Chen misjudged the system; he assumed it would announce the task within an hour or two, but to his surprise, it took a full six hours before the system finally released the third task.

And to Gu Chen’s surprise, the difficulty of this third task was not as high as he had imagined.
