Chapter 1 The First Pot of Gold
"Damn, I've lost more than 5,000!" Li Xin slapped the microphone in his hand on the landline of his desk.
"The salary for a month is only more than 400 yuan, and all the wages for more than a year will be lost. At this rate, the hundreds of thousands of yuan in his hand won't last long!" He lit a cigarette and was extremely depressed.
The recent operation has not been smooth, and it has been defeated repeatedly, and it has accumulated losses of tens of thousands of yuan.
Originally, I felt that it was unreliable to follow the trend and speculate in the stock market, so I relied on working in Jiangnan Sugar Company and was familiar with the price of sucrose, so I transferred all the funds to the Jiangnan Commodity Exchange to make sucrose futures, but I didn't expect that it was not smooth to do futures.
I can't see the real-time market in the office, and I can't stay in front of the computer of the exchange at any time, so I understand the market by phone every day, and operate in and out according to the technical side, which is really a bit drifting, and the winning rate is too low!
No, you have to change your way of thinking!
Have you run out of good luck?
It would be nice to be able to do every day like it was three months ago.
Before he knew it, his mind was back to the morning that had excited him three months ago.
At the beginning of July, on the day of the listing of Huazhou Co., Ltd., Li Xin came to the securities company early in the morning, he thought that he had come early, but when he got there, there were several times more people in the trading hall than usual, and he was already exhausted.
It seems that everyone has similar ideas, and these original stocks in their hands have been held for more than three years, so find a good price and quickly cash them out today!
But this crowd of people, even if you want to sell, you have to squeeze in.
Li Xin took out the shareholder registration certificate of Huazhou Co., Ltd. from his personal bag, opened it and looked at it, and the 22,000 original shares he subscribed for at 1.25 yuan per share three years ago have now become 57,500 shares after two dividends and share capital and provident fund conversion to share capital.
No one knows at what price Huazhou Co., Ltd.'s shares will open after listing today, but referring to the stock prices of other listed companies of the same type, it is roughly around 6 or 7 yuan. It's good to be able to get to this price, and it will be 300,000 or 400,000 yuan to sell all your shares!
With a salary of only a few hundred yuan a month, if you have 300,000 or 400,000 yuan in your hand, what will it be like?
Li Xin fantasized about that wonderful situation, and her heart was full of inexplicable excitement and expectation, wishing that the stock market would open immediately and make all this a reality immediately!
"Dude, are you selling stocks?" asked a bearded man next to him with a foreign accent.
Li Xin was interrupted by his words, came back to his senses from his fantasy, and subconsciously nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Sell it to me! cash in stock, settle it immediately. The big man patted the bulging satchel in front of him and said.
"What price?" Li Xin asked casually, he wanted to find out the price of this stock in other people's hearts.
"Three pieces of five, how about it?" Dahan's eyes stared greedily at the shareholder registration certificate in Li Xin's hand, and his words were full of temptation and expectation.
"Just kidding!" Li Xin muttered, put the shareholder registration certificate into his bag, turned around and left.
"How about four dollars and five? How many shares do you have? Don't go, buddy! the price is negotiable!" said the big man urgently in the back.
Since the news came out that Huazhou's shares were going to be listed, many outsiders came to Jiangcheng City to buy the company's original shares with cash.
But before today, it was difficult for people buying shares to know who had them. Today, when the stock market is listed, almost all shareholders, large and small, come to the securities company, and more people come to the shareholders' meeting. The dozens of minutes before the opening of the market were their last chance to buy the original shares at a low price.
Li Xin squeezed into the trading floor without looking back.
How can his psychological price be about six yuan per share, and the total difference between the price given by this person is nearly 100,000 yuan, which is not counting the hidden risks of over-the-counter transactions.
It's all at this point, and a fool will sell the stock before the market opens.
Li Xin finally squeezed into the hall, and it was still far from the trading counter, so he couldn't squeeze in anymore.
He reluctantly stopped and looked around, fortunately, the angle here was good, and the data on the big screen opposite could be seen clearly.
It was full of people, crowded like canned sardines, and the weather was hot, and the air in the hall was a little dirty. It is really difficult to wait for dozens of minutes in such an environment.
There are many people around discussing the price of this stock, some guessing 5 or 6 yuan, and some guessing 8 or 9 yuan.
Li Xin listened quietly, and he made up his mind that he would not sell it if it was less than 6 yuan.
It's open!
The originally noisy hall fell silent in an instant.
On the big screen, the price of each stock is displayed screen by screen, and it takes five or six minutes for all the stocks to be displayed once.
Almost everyone's eyes are glued to the big screen, looking for the stock price of Huazhou shares.
I have been holding this stock in my hands for more than three years, and today is the opportunity to liquidate it. Everyone wants the price of the stock to be as high as possible, but no one has a bottom in their hearts, and if the price is too low, it is not cost-effective to sell.
These few minutes are both anticipatory and unsettling for everyone.
"Wow!"
There was an exclamation in the hall, like the cries of the crowd when the World Cup goal was scored!
Li Xin knew that the price had come out, but he hadn't seen it yet, was everyone happy or disappointed with such a big reaction? He hurriedly looked for it on the screen and saw it!
$10.50, the opening price! This price is far more than the price of shares of the same type of company.
My original 20,000 yuan has now increased nearly 30 times, and the total value of shares is nearly 600,000 yuan!
Before Li Xin could react from the surprise, the people around him had already flocked to the already crowded counter like a tide.
Few people would have thought that the price of this stock would be so high as soon as it opened, and the huge profits drove everyone to want to sell their shares as soon as possible at this high price.
Li Xin also wanted to sell it as soon as possible, and this price was much higher than his own expectations, so he was afraid that if he moved slowly, such a high price would never be seen again.
But look at the crowd in front of him, he can't get in at all, he can't get the order, how to sell!
He regretted it a little, he knew that there were so many people today, he should have come yesterday, and he asked for a few orders to fill out in advance, so he would not be helpless now!
"Wow!!"
There was a higher wave again, and the price displayed on the big screen in this round was 13.86 yuan, which was three percent higher than the opening price!
Can't wait any longer!
Li Xin looked around and saw a person writing an order by the wall not far away, so he squeezed over and said, "Master, do you have any extra orders?"
The man turned his head to look at Li Xin and said, "I only have two or three." ”
Li Xin said with a smiling face: "Emergency, it's not a special situation today, you can't squeeze in, you have to take it casually on the counter in normal times." ”
After the man filled out the list, he pulled out a blank sheet and handed it to Li Xin, saying, "Okay, I'll give you one." ”
Li Xin thanked him, quickly took the list, attached it to the wall and filled it out.
The surprise that fell from the sky, and the urgency of worrying about missing the high price, made his hands tremble a little, and when he filled it out, the tip of the pen scratched the paper in two places.
It is difficult for him to fill in the price, and if the price is high, he can't sell it, and it will be even more difficult to squeeze in and cancel the order and re-quote when the time comes.
Time waits for no one, simply, fill in the market price!
Look at the price before the order is quoted in, and as long as it's not too low, sell it firmly. Now the total value of the shares in my hand is 600,000 yuan, first put the money in my pocket, who knows what the price will be tomorrow?
By the time Li Xin struggled to the counter in the crowd and handed the order in, more than half an hour had passed. He was relieved when he handed in the crumpled and sweaty order in his hand.
After sweating profusely and squeezing out of the crowd, he stood at the door and glanced at the price of this stock, which was still above 11 yuan, and he was very satisfied with this price.
He gasped for breath and kept fanning his sweaty shirt to cool himself down.
Looking back at the waves of people that could still submerge the counter, he couldn't believe he had just rushed back and forth in that wriggling, warm bush of flesh.
Although he had already sold the stock, no matter how much the price changed at this time, he still reluctantly stood at the door of the hall until the close of the morning.
The price of 14.9 yuan at the close of the morning made him feel very uncomfortable, and at this price, he earned at least 200,000 yuan less!
After returning from the securities company, he was constantly guessing what the transaction price of his stock would be throughout the day. Even though he knew it was pointless, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about it.
He had calculated countless times in his mind with different prices, guessing how much money he had in his account. I just tossed and turned like this, and I didn't sleep well all night.
Early the next morning, he came to the securities company early, and when he got the delivery order, he saw that yesterday's transaction price was 11.20 yuan, and the total principal and interest on the account were more than 640,000 yuan!
Compared with the salary of a few hundred yuan per month, this is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, although he has expected it in his heart, but when he sees the real number on the list in his hand, he is still shocked!
For the next week, Li Xin seemed to be living in an unreal illusion, and couldn't believe that he had so much money in the blink of an eye. During that time, his heart was filled with a great sense of joy, and the whole person was in a kind of excitement.
The feeling that wealth brings to people is really good, whether it can make a person's heart really strong for the time being, but it can definitely make a person's heart swell.
It was at that time that Li Xin suddenly realized the true meaning of wealth for a man.
There is actually no essential difference between myself a few days ago and now, the difference is that the amount of money in my passbook has changed. It is this change that makes me look at things from a different angle, and my waist is stiff.
The word "economic foundation," which he had recited countless times in his junior high school and high school textbooks, only now did he really understand what it meant.
"Li Xin, I have to go for a while beforehand. I'll go to the Light Industry Department tomorrow morning to do some errands, and I'll come later. Xia Xiaona's words interrupted Li Xin's distant thoughts and dragged him back to reality from his dreamlike memories.
He stood by the window in deep thought, not noticing when she had come in.
He turned around and agreed. After Xia Xiaona finished speaking, she put on her bag and went out. She is the general manager's secretary and is in the same office as Li Xin.
Li Xin graduated from Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology with a major in computer software, and entered Jiangnan Sugar Company in August of the same year, and has been in the administrative office of the head office for more than two years.
It is because of the nature of this work that Li Xin transferred all the funds in the stock market to futures.
I originally thought that I was familiar with the fundamentals of sucrose, and there was a greater chance of making a profit in the futures market. But as the number of transactions increases, new problems arise.
The fundamental data will not change very frequently, but the daily market is ever-changing, even if the prediction is correct, the price will not stop when it reaches the predicted position, if it is not closed in time, there are things every day that the judgment is lost.
What's more, no one is an immortal, and it is impossible to be correct every time.
Another problem brought about by frequent trading is that the mind is too tired, and it is easy to forget the original intention and go with the flow, and then trade for the sake of trading, and you can't find a reason to stick to it if you are wrong.
This is the problem that has been bothering him recently, and he has been trying to find a solution to make his trading easier and more profitable. Otherwise, if you continue to toss like this, it won't be long before these hundreds of thousands will be gone.
After repeated defeats, there is not much left of the pride he had a few months ago.
Faced with the money that suddenly became a little confused, he was full of melancholy, he stayed in the office alone until late before leaving, and after returning to the dormitory, he read a book again, meditated hard, and went to bed very late.
