Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ruidu Community, Luke's House.

An Audi Q5 was parked at the door.

Linda, Fatty, Robert, and Val got out of the car.

"Hi, my loved ones, welcome to Ruidu Community."

Val couldn't wait to ask as soon as he got out of the car, "Luke, I heard you bought a big guy."

"Yes, it's right inside." Luke opened the garage door.

"Wow... this is what a man should drive." Val patted the car door, "Can I take it for a test drive?"

"No." Luke refused simply. He still had this big treasure, but he couldn't bear to let others touch it.

Especially the unreliable uncle.

This guy spends more time drunk than sober every day.

He really wanted to hit him, but Luke didn't even respond.

Robert patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, "Boy, that's a wise choice."

Val asked the next best thing, "Where's your Harley?"

"Don't think about it, send it for maintenance." Luke didn't dare to lend him the motorcycle. Motorcycles are more dangerous than cars. What if this thing gets into an accident?

Val complained, "What a stingy boy, just like your grandpa."

Linda also looked around, "This car cost $130,000?"

Luke nodded, "Although it's a little expensive, it's still worth it."

Linda curled her lips and said, "You're right. Even if you can't pay the rent next time, you'll have a place to sleep."

Luke "..."

"Brother, this car is super cool." The little fat man's face was full of excitement. He looked around the car and touched it. He couldn't wait to get in and take a ride.

"I'll take you for a ride another day." Luke patted his brother on the shoulder and greeted, "On, I'll show you around the house."

Robert looked at the barbecue grill and said, "Hey, you have good taste. This barbecue grill is very useful."

"Of course." Luke usually doesn't buy things. If he wants to buy something, he just buys it.

Luke shows his family around the house.

Linda walked around the room and nodded with satisfaction, "The community is good, and so is the house."

Los Angeles has a pleasant climate, with clear blue skies and gentle breeze.

Beer, drinks, and fruit plates were placed in the yard, and the family sat together and chatted.

The little fat man and Val got together and wandered around the Mercedes-Benz G500, not knowing what they were doing.

Robert is tinkering with the barbecue grill.

Luke poured a glass of orange juice for his mother, "Is it the little fat guy's birthday soon?"

"That's right, he started hinting me to prepare birthday gifts half a month ago, but I pretended not to understand."

Luke smiled and said, "How are you going to live with him?"

"Not ready yet."

"Tell me if you think about it."

Seeing Little Fatty and Val coming over, the two stopped talking.

"Hey, what were you doing in the garage just now?"

The little fat man said, "I took some photos and let my classmates see them tomorrow. My super cool brother bought a super cool car."

"Cool." Luke smiled.

Robert also came over and said, "The barbecue grill is ready and will be ready for use in a moment."

"Grandpa, I'll let you try my craft later." Luke clinked glasses with him.

Robert nodded, "Good, we finally have a real man in our family."

Val “…”

Linda touched her chin, seemingly worried, and hesitated for a long time, "Luke, how much money do you have left?"

"There are tens of thousands more? Do you want to use it?" Luke also saw that his mother seemed to have something on her mind.

"No, I don't need your money.

You grow up and have your own income.

I'm very pleased...and don't want to ask too much.

But... I'm just making a suggestion... have you ever considered making some investments?"

Linda said it implicitly, but Luke also heard it. She was afraid that he would spend money randomly again, so he smiled and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"I haven't done much business, but I have been investing in stocks. This is also influenced by your grandfather. If you want to invest in stocks, I can give you some suggestions."

Robert echoed, "I also have a few good stocks that I have held for more than ten years. If you need them, I can introduce them to you."

Many people in the United States play stocks. Not everyone wants to get rich overnight with stocks, but it is more of a means of investment preservation.

The return on investment in the U.S. stock market is still very impressive.

In fact, ‘Luke’ also invested in stocks in the past two years, but later he sold them when the expenses were too high. He still has a stock account.

Induced by two relatives, Luke invested US$35,000 in the stock market, leaving US$2,000 as spare.

Luke invested in a total of seven stocks, investing $5,000 in each stock. He felt that this was safer.

In fact, regarding investing in stocks, he had long considered whether it could be used as a means of cashing out.

However, with a deeper understanding of the system, he felt that the possibility of realizing cash through the stock market was unlikely and that the element of luck was too high.

This can be seen from his two realization experiences.

My first cash-out experience was buying scratch tickets.

The second monetization experience was a warehouse auction.

From these two points, we can see the characteristics of the monetization channel.

The first characteristic is that it has little influence on society.

The second feature is mainly Luke.

Let’s look at the characteristics of stocks.

Stocks are open to the entire society. Luke's capital can only be used as an ordinary retail investor. To put it bluntly, he is just a leek.

If a listed company earns one million, it would be good if he earns one hundred yuan.

If you want to realize all the US$35,000, the listed company will have to make crazy profits, and the social impact will be too great.

specific examples,

Luke, Mom, and Grandpa bought similar stocks. If they were liquidated through the stock market, the stocks he bought would definitely skyrocket, and Mom and Grandpa would be able to get rich without doing anything.

Not realistic.

Of course, Luke himself doesn't know much about the stock market, this is just his personal speculation.

Maybe there are other ways to make money in the stock market.

Just have a try mentality.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Luke stood up and announced, "OK, it's barbecue time."

Luke took the barbecue out of the kitchen, burned the charcoal, grilled the steak, lamb chops, seafood, and vegetables on it, and sprinkled it with China's secret seasoning.

Soon the smell of meat filled the whole yard.

Luke sniffed hard, this is right, this is the life he wants in Los Angeles.

Robert shouted, "Luke, do you know how to grill meat? It's all burnt!"

…

The next morning.

Club gun club.

This gun club covers a large area and has an indoor shooting gallery and an open-air shooting range.

The venues are different, the training content is different, and the prices are also different.

Last time, the gun club that Luke and David went to together was a place exclusively for the police. It was close and small in area. They could only practice shooting at fixed targets, which was not interesting.

As a policeman in China in his previous life, Luke didn't attach much importance to marksmanship. He didn't use it a few times, and he didn't have much chance to practice with it. His marksmanship was average.

But Los Angeles is different. He uses a gun almost every time he performs a mission, and faces the risk of being shot. He feels that his marksmanship has improved significantly after experiencing these few actual combats.
