Chapter 4: The Old Man and the River
At night, the water surface is sparkling, and the light is reflected on the water, which is unusually pale.
By the time Bear Town fished the old beggar out of the river, he was unconscious. It's like a mess of mud and lifeless. Bear Town used all his strength to drag the old man to the shore.
He squatted beside the old man, kept patting the old man's chest with his hand, and administered first aid to him according to his hazy memory. After more than a dozen consecutive slaps, the old man still closed his eyes tightly, and his face was like ashes.
If this doesn't work, then it's just artificial respiration.
Xiong Zhen shrunk his neck, although the stench on the old man's body had dissipated a lot after the invasion of the river, but the residual fishy stench still made him unbearable.
Bear Town looked up and around, and there was silence all around, not to mention people, not even a bird.
"Damn, fight. Xiong Zhen shouted, completely let go of the restraints, he pinched his nose with one hand, pinched the old man's mouth with the other, and with a little force, he pinched the old man's mouth into a 0.
Xiong Zhen took a deep breath and allowed the old man's mouth. A foul smell came, and his stomach immediately flooded with a stream of sour water, turning over the river and sea in his stomach.
Holding his breath, Xiong Zhen forcefully poured the air from his mouth down the old man's mouth. With that, he raised his head and continued to take a deep breath before continuing to infuse.
Just such an action, back and forth at least a dozen times.
Eventually, the old man's body seemed to react, and regular breathing began to occur between his snorts. Xiong Zhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly continued to press vigorously on the old man's chest with both hands.
Once, twice, three times...... Bear Town had forgotten the time and the times, and only knew that he was constantly repeating the mechanical movements.
"Poof" The old man's mouth opened, and a large mouthful of filth came out of his mouth, impartially, and spit on Xiongzhen's face.
"Ahh With a "poof", Xiong Zhen's entire body was thrown into the river and quickly disappeared into the vast water.
The old man's consciousness gradually became clearer, he wiped the dirt that remained at the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then looked around: "Strange, I obviously feel that there are people, why is it gone?"
With a "bang", Bear Town emerged from the water, revealing only one head. He shouted to the old man on the shore, "Uncle, you are awake." ”
The old man stared at the head that appeared on the surface of the water suspiciously, and said, "Young man, you saved me?"
Xiong Zhen didn't answer him immediately, but dragged his wet body and climbed onto the shore, and the dirt on his body was also washed clean by the river.
He curled up and walked to the old man's side and said, "Uncle, what can't you think of, you want to commit suicide by jumping into the water? Seeing that your hands and feet are sound, as long as you are diligent, it will not be a problem to live." ”
The old man stared at the young man in front of him, and he was a little moved in his heart, this feeling of being cared for has never been enjoyed since he went bankrupt.
After a long time, the old man sighed and said, "If you go from a billionaire to a destitute overnight, I think you will make the same choice as me." ”
Xiong Zhen took off all the clothes on his body, and the biting cold made him shiver all over, and his teeth collided rhythmically up and down.
Billionaire?
Bear Town suddenly remembered what the old man said on the bridge, he said that he had no interest in money. At that time, he thought that the old man was just drunk and talking gibberish, and did not take his words to heart.
However, at this time, the old man should have been completely awake after experiencing such a catastrophe and immortality, but why is he still full of nonsense?
"Boy, I know you don't believe it, it doesn't matter, who made me down!" the old man sighed, and then continued: "What successful people say is reasonable, and those who fail are reasonable. ”
Xiong Zhen scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Uncle, it's not that I don't believe you, you can also see it, I only add up to 100 yuan, so I naturally can't understand the ideological level of treating money as dung as you said." ”
The old man looked at Xiong Town, and his years of experience in knowing people made him feel that the young man in front of him was a kind-hearted, loyal and honest person, and then compared with what his apprentice did, his heart twitched, and tears suddenly flowed out of the corners of his eyes.
Xiong Zhen looked at the old man's sad expression, and said comfortingly: "Uncle, don't be sad. You see, I still have 100 yuan here, and I'll take you to a good meal when it's dawn. ”
The old man was completely moved by this warm word, he walked over and patted Xiong Zhen on the shoulder, choked up and said: "Young man is good, let's meet in Pingshui, you not only sacrificed your life to save each other, but also did not dislike me as an old beggar at all, this is good, very good." ”
Xiong Zhen was a little embarrassed by these two consecutive good things, and he rolled up his wet clothes into a ball and wrung out the water inside, and said, "Uncle, don't be in a hurry to praise me first." Now we should think about where to find a place to find a stream, and keep pestle like this, and if we don't starve to death, we will freeze to death. ”
The old man rubbed his somewhat sore feet, stood up tremblingly, and only after making sure that his movements were normal did he ask Xiong Zhen, "Young man, what's your name?"
At this moment, Xiong Zhen had already put the wrung clothes back on, and he replied, "Xiong Zhen, what about you, uncle?"
"You just call me Uncle Long. With that, the old man walked forward with a stumbling step.
"Hey, Uncle Long, you wait for me. Xiong Zhen shouted at Uncle Long's back as he put on his freshly taken off pants.
It was getting late, and it was dark all around. The two walked along the river and came to the bottom of the bridge. Xiong Zhen squinted his eyes for a long time before finally seeing the scene in front of him clearly.
In front of him was a simple tent, next to a fire, but it had been extinguished, and next to the tent were a few dry branches, on which hung a few tattered clothes, and on the opposite side of the branch was a pile of stones, on which were densely written a bunch of characters, and if you looked closely, it was a bunch of numbers.
Xiong Zhen guessed that this should be Uncle Long's temporary residence. He suddenly remembered that Uncle Long had said before jumping off the bridge that his house was under the bridge, so it seemed that this should be here.
Uncle Long took out a set of dry clothes from the pile, threw it to Xiong Zhen, and said, "Let's change this on." ”
Xiong Zhen took the clothes, and quickly changed them without pretentiousness. Uncle Long also found a set of dry clothes himself, and he asked while changing, "Ah Zhen, don't you have a place to live in L City?"
Xiong Zhen shook his head awkwardly and said, "I came to the city to study from a small county town, and I usually live in the school, and there is no place to live outside. ”
Uncle Long took out a pile of dry firewood from the back of the tent, put on some scraps of paper for starting the fire, and then took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the shredded paper.
A wisp of cooking smoke rose, and the pile of dry wood began to burn more and more in the cold wind. Uncle Long sat down next to the fire with his somewhat thin body, and then turned his face to Xiongzhen, motioning for him to sit over and keep warm.
The sporadic firelight danced in Uncle Long's eyes, he stared at the firelight motionlessly, fell into deep thought, and only after a long time did he raise his head and look at Xiong Zhen: "Do you have any ideals or plans for the future?"
Xiong Zhen paused, he looked at the sparkling water, the childishness on his face suddenly converged, his eyes changed from confusion to resoluteness little by little, he said categorically: "I want to become a master, become a respected person, rich and powerful." ”
When Uncle Long saw the perseverance in Xiong Zhen's eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned! Immediately, he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Boy, if you want to become a human being, you have to endure the pain and torture that ordinary people can't bear. ”
Xiong Zhen pursed his lips, not annoyed or angry, and his tone suddenly returned to calm: "I know you don't believe it, but it's okay, time will tell." ”
Uncle Long stopped talking, he hung the wet clothes he had changed back on the branches, and then crouched down in front of the pile of stones, and began to tinker.
Bear Town suddenly became interested, and he squatted down as well. I only saw Uncle Long put the pile of stones on the ground irregularly, fiddling with this side and that for a while, and Xiong Zhen was dizzy.
"Uncle Long, what does the number on this stone represent?" Xiong Zhen finally mustered up the courage to ask.
Uncle Long turned his head to look at him, smiled slightly, and then said, "These numbers represent chips. ”
Xiong Zhen scratched his head, indicating that he didn't understand, and he pointed to the stones again and asked, "Then what do these stones represent?"
"On behalf of the target, commonly known as the company. "Uncle Long's words are neither salty nor light.
At this time, Uncle Long handed a stone marked with a number of 500 to Xiong Zhen and asked, "If this stone is worth 500 yuan, will you buy it?"
After thinking about it for a moment, something seemed to flash through Xiongzhen's mind, and slowly connecting the dots into a line, he replied, "I bought it for 500 yuan, and if I can sell it for 1,000 yuan, I will buy it." ”
Uncle Long's heart trembled slightly, and he then asked, "If you buy it for 500 yuan, but he drops the price to 400 yuan, what will you do at this time?"
Xiong Zhen took the stone with 500 written on it in his hand, tossed it casually, and then replied, "Then I will investigate it before I buy it, and if he does have a chance to sell it for more than 500 yuan in the future, then I will buy it." But if it's not worth even 500 dollars, then why should I pay 500 dollars for it?"
Uncle Long's eyes suddenly became suspicious, and he asked with some confusion, "Have you ever played stocks?"
Xiong Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know what a stock is, I just know that I can't buy a broken stone that doesn't match its actual value." ”
Uncle Long suddenly laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful, talented, born for trading, you are much more talented than my apprentice." ”
Xiong Zhen looked at the old man in front of him in confusion, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd. Apprentice: Does this old man have any relatives?
"Uncle Long, you still have an apprentice, why don't you go looking for him?"
Uncle Long's smiling face suddenly fell silent, the expression on his face changed from joy to sadness, he looked ahead angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "The reason why I fell to this step is all because of him. ”

Old Bear Inventory: March 24 High opening shock
Due to the impact of the good news in the peripheral market, today's market opened more than 40 points higher, and yesterday it was also in a haze and panic market, early in the morning to clear the clouds and see the dawn.
Han Mo's Baiyun rose by three points, and he asked me in the group: "Old Xiong, if I sell Baiyun for 2,000 first, can I reduce the cost if I buy it when he falls?"
I looked at it and remembered that he was prompted to make up the position yesterday, so I said: "Theoretically, if you have a margin replenishment at yesterday's low, you can sell first, but there is a premise, that is, once you sell, he will continue to rise, and at this time you can't chase the rise anyway."
He was also worried about this problem and continued: "I'm just worried about this, I'm afraid that it will be sold out when the time comes." ”
I said, "It's very demanding to have a good grasp of technique and mentality, and I can't give you advice because I don't know your position." ”
In fact, the current market is a very typical process of grinding, many retail investors who are reluctant to cut their meat at a low level, as long as the stock rises a little, they are worried to death, they always want to make the difference, waiting to sell first and then buy. However, most of the stocks sold at this time end up not being recovered.
Therefore, we should not always think about the gains and losses of those few points when we do stocks, but should take a long-term view. This kind of frequent operation at a low level may be done right once or twice, but once it rises directly and cannot come back, then these retail investors who cut meat at a low level will inevitably chase up at a high level, and then be trapped, and so on
