One morning in the early spring of 2007, Liaoying City, a small city located in the north, was still so clean, the wind was blowing quietly, and the breeze was slightly cool, and the small trees on both sides were bare and standing straight.

"Dang, dang, dang......" The big bell on the high wall of the newspaper office struck 10 times.

A slightly chubby, not very tall young man walked straight to the securities business hall not far away. Pushing open the door of the sales department, the heat wave rushed straight over, "It's so hot!" he said to himself while wiping the sweat from the corner of his forehead, and walked straight in.

"So many people? Is there any money here?" he asked, slowly looking around the hall, which was already packed, some whispering, some playing poker, and some women knitting sweaters. A noisy sound led him over, it turned out that a few people were talking around a computer, only to see a fat woman pointing at the computer screen and shouting: "Wow, the price limit!" Several people next to her looked at her with envious eyes, their eyes showed admiration and jealousy, the fat woman couldn't sit still, swayed her fat buttocks and stood up, looked at the people around her with a swollen face and said, "What's the place, what's the place, where is Lao Li?" "Here, Sister Wang" accompanied by the voice A man 50 miles away squeezed in. "Lao Li, the seal is coming to fish!" "Yes, it's a pity I didn't listen to you, hey......"

"Zhang Jun!" A familiar voice came from the staircase, the young man followed the sound, a man stood at the staircase and smiled at him, it was Hou Yongfa, a colleague from the original unit, waving to him. "Old Hou, are you here, I'm looking for you!" Hou Yongfa raised the cup in his left hand and said, "I went downstairs to pour a cup of tea, and saw you over there" Zhang Jun replied with a smile: "I saw that it was so lively over there, by the way, I heard that you made enough money by trading stocks after you were laid off/" "Haha, you kid also went to the stock market to make money, come on, come on!" Hou Yongfa replied with a smile. "Lao Hou, your voice is louder than before!" "Hahaha......".

Hou Yongfa, in his forties, is a well-known tweeter in the unit, tall but very sturdy, wearing a thin black jacket on the upper body, the jacket is not zipped, revealing a bright red woolen sweater, a pair of light blue pants on the lower body, and leather shoes can always shine. Up the stairs, they came to a door on the second floor. Hou Yongfa turned back to Zhang Jun and said, "I'm speculating in stocks in this room," while pushing open the door, a thick smoke rushed out along the crack in the door, Zhang Jun fanned with his hand and said, "Brother Hou, is this the big smoke hall or Lao Jun's alchemy furnace?" Lao Hou patted his chest and said, "I am the reincarnation of the Great Sage of the Western Heavens!"

The smoke slowly dispersed in the corridor, Zhang Jun followed Lao Hou and walked in, this is a small room, there are more than a dozen computers neatly arranged on the tables around it, there are not many people in the room, only 7.8 people, everyone holds their breath and stares at the computer quietly, a middle-aged man at the door tightens his clothes, looks back at Lao Hou and says, "Close the door quickly, it's cold!"

Zhang Jun, who was walking behind, took the door, followed Lao Hou to a computer and sat down, only to see that the numbers on the screen were constantly changing, "Everyone watch the A movie," I don't know who shouted. Zhang Jun asked Lao Hou curiously and quietly: "What is called an A-movie?" Lao Hou didn't squeak, just lightly tapped the keyboard a few times, sighed and said, "Diving again!"

The silence was finally broken, and there was already a commotion in the room, and the middle-aged man at the door spoke: "I heard that experts say that there is a bubble in the stock market and the government is going to raise interest rates, is it true?" A woman about 30 years old next to her took over the conversation and said: "If you really want to raise interest rates, is it over?" The man replied silently: "It's hard to say!"

Zhang Jun followed the sound and looked at the man, who was wearing a shiny little back, a white face, a pair of glasses framed on the bridge of his nose, and especially a light red scarf around his neck, which looked particularly energetic; he saw that the woman was in her thirties, her jet-black big wavy hair was like a black waterfall, hitting the flowers that had risen on the rocks, her big glasses were inlaid on the handsome face of melon seeds, and she was wearing a purple wool coat on her upper body.

Lao Hou also turned around and glanced at it, turned back to Zhang Jun and said softly, "Are you looking at the two of them?"

"Yes!"

Lao Hou glanced at Zhang Jun slyly and didn't make a sound.

Time passed minute by minute, Lao Hou and the people in the house regained their calm, only a few "cigarette tubes" were smoking, Lao Hou took a sip of tea, then took out a cigarette, took a puff and said, "Have you opened an account?" "Have you opened an account" Zhang Jun replied. Lao Hou then asked, "Has the transaction been made?" "No," Zhang Jun replied a little nervously.

An elderly man in the middle turned to Zhang Jun and asked, "Is it a new shareholder?"

Zhang Jun scratched his head with his hand, and said with a blush: "It's a new shareholder, I don't have much money, I heard that Brother Hou made money, and I want to come and have a look." ”

Lao Hou also interjected: "Zhang Jun, study hard with Old Man Liu in the future, he is the Buffett among us!"

Zhang Jun nodded hurriedly and said, "Certainly, definitely." ”

Old Man Liu said to Lao Hou unhappily: "I'm not old, but I'm a little anxious!"

Hahaha...... The room burst into laughter.

Old Man Liu took a sip of tea, looked around, cleared his throat and said, "Tell everyone a joke and relieve your broken hearts, haha."

said: "Last night I went to catch a drinking party, when I got on the elevator, I met the waitress mopping the floor, I politely said: You drag first, I go later, the waiter has a really good attitude, tell me: you go first, I drag later, and in the end you guess what to do?"

The middle-aged man at the door asked, "What did you do?"

"Drag and get on the quilt at the same time".

Hahaha...... , another burst of laughter.

The wave beauty waved her fist at this time, and said with a smile: "Beauty kills you!"

The wave beauty continued: "I report, last night I saw Mr. Liu holding his daughter-in-law's hand and shopping in the mall, I asked the old man: Why do you still hold your hands so tightly at this age? Guess what the old man said?"

Lao Hou blinked his eyes and said, "The feelings are deep and can't be separated." ”

The old man said: As soon as he lets go, his daughter-in-law will go on a shopping spree, he is afraid of spending money."

"Slam the door!" "Pervert!" ...... The room full of people began to carry out "vicious" attacks and bombardments against Mr. Liu. The old man stood up slowly, squinted his eyes and walked around the room, and the beautiful wave smiled at him and said, "What are you turning? Is there gold on the ground?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm wondering if it's going to raise interest rates?"

Another aunt took over and said: "I think I'm going to raise interest rates, and I just sold Xinfa Technology, but fortunately, I made a little money from vegetables."

The middle-aged man looked at the beautiful woman next to him and said, "I sell it too." ”

Zhang Jun glanced at Lao Hou, Lao Hou seemed to understand something, tapping on the keyboard, it turned out that he was also selling tickets, except for Mr. Liu in the room, they were all tapping on their computers, Zhang Jun looked at everyone quietly, everyone's face was very focused and dignified, everyone was frantically selling tickets, except for one person, that was Mr. Liu.

Soon it was 11:30 p.m., Lao Hou stretched his waist, and then pulled Zhang Jun and said, "It's closed, let's go, let's have a drink!" Zhang Jun nodded and didn't speak, just followed Lao Hou out, and the other people in the house also walked out, only the man at the door and the long-haired beauty sat on the chair and whispered.

The people in the corridor suddenly became a lot more, Zhang Jun stopped, looked at it, and asked Lao Hou: "Are they all professional?" The corners of Lao Hou's mouth curled and said: "Let's still study what to eat? What about roast beef?" Zhang Jun replied: "Okay", because he knew that Lao Hou loved to eat beef and mutton the most, and eating roast beef could be said to be the best choice.

There are still so many people in the hall on the first floor, chatting and chatting, knitting sweaters still knitting, and many gnawing on fire or box lunches.

Zhang Jun said to Lao Hou as he walked: "I have long heard that the stock market is a major feature, cutting meat is not distressed, saving money and gnawing fire, it is really worthy of its reputation!" Lao Hou looked around and did not answer positively.

Suddenly, a burst of bud rice mixed with the fragrance of flower water drifted behind the two of them, looking back, it turned out to be the fat woman named Sister Wang, holding two lunch boxes in her hands and walked over, Lao Hou shouted: "Sister Wang, did you earn today?" Sister Wang twisted her fat buttocks and turned around and said: "The seal has fish to eat, hahaha......"

"It's time for the seal to lose weight!" Lao Hou still snorted.

Sister Wang blushed and said, "Hmph, how dare you compare with your big family!"

Zhang Jun pulled Lao Hou and said, "Let's go, let's go, tell me the story inside." ”

The two of them walked to a barbecue restaurant opposite the door of the sales department, there were not many customers in the butcher shop, and the waiter saw the guests, so he enthusiastically guided them to a small table by the window.

Two plates of beef, a plate of scallops, and a plate of mouthful fish were quickly served, and in front of the red charcoal fire, the talkative old Hou opened the conversation.

"Stockholders' favorite is red, look at how red this charcoal fire is!" "Lao Hou said, subconsciously tugging the red woolen sweater.

Zhang Jun also smiled and said, "Tell me the story of the middle-aged man and the woman?"

"Cheng!" said the old marquis after taking a sip of wine.

|“ The man's name is Wang Junlai, he works as an office director in an insurance company, and his income is okay, a few years ago in winter, it was snowing outside, Wang Junlai drove a car to run errands, and when he passed by an intersection, because the car window was covered with a layer of mist, he didn't see a woman holding a child passing in front of him, and he stepped on the brakes or scraped down the woman. ”

Zhang Jun took over the conversation and asked, "That woman is the one I saw at the door today, right?"

Lao Hou took a bite of meat and said with a smile: "I think you are suitable for playing stocks!"

Zhang Jun picked up a fish and asked while eating, "Didn't you break that woman?"

"If the car is slow, I squatted and crooked my feet, but my bones were not broken,"

Lao Hou continued: "Wang Junlai got out of the car, helped their mother and daughter into the car, and then sent them to the orthopedic hospital, and it was okay to go to the hospital to open some bone water, when they were in the car, they chatted with each other, the woman's name was Fang Xia, working in a textile factory, because the heating at home was not hot, and she was ready to take the child back to her parents' house after the night shift, but she ran into this incident. ”

"Oh," Zhang Jun sighed and asked, "Then how did they get into the stock market?"

Lao Hou said: "Wang Junlai studied economics, and after graduation, he was assigned to an insurance company, and he has been a stock for several years, as for Fang Xia?" Lao Hou said and squeezed his eyes and then said: "Stocks are matchmakers! haha......"

The charcoal fire reflected the faces of the two people, the beef made a pleasant sound on the grate, the 56 ° Beijing Erguotou drank to the stomach warm, and the two took off their coats and hung on the armrest of the chair beside them, talking while eating.

I don't know who said, "It's snowing."

Looking out the window, sure enough, there were a few snowflakes floating in the sky, and the snowflakes were falling from the sky, and the ground had not yet turned white, which should be the last snow of spring.

Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, Zhang Jun, who was in a good mood, said: "Ruixue is a good year." ”

The old marquis let out a thoughtful "en".

After eating and drinking, Zhang Jun took out his pocket and prepared to settle the bill, Lao Hou held it down and said: "Brother is here, how can I use your little brother, hehe!" Lao Hou settled the bill, stood up and said to Zhang Jun: "I have a free place in that house, right next to me, what's the matter?"

"I just happened to learn from you!" Zhang Jun said happily.

The two of them came out of the hotel and went straight to the sales department to .......
