Anna found Kowloon Securities without any problems.

Jin Jim has only been in the company for a long time, no customers, no glamorous education, no background background, although he also has stockbroker qualifications, but in the cramped and crowded office building, he is almost a handyman, and anyone can send him to do things. Jin Jim smiled when he met people, and he should not serve tea and pour water. When Anna inquired about him, he had just been called to the office by the manager and reprimanded, saying that he was useless, and that his colleagues who had joined at the same time had already begun to take orders, and that he had not yet started, saying that if there were no more customers, he would let him go.

Jin Jim came out of the manager's room, a little depressed, and was about to go outside to pull customers on the street again, and the aunt who swept the floor said that there was a beautiful girl looking for her. Jin Jim hurried back, and sure enough, he saw a very bright young girl sitting in front of the small lattice table with his nameplate. Judging by her demeanor and demeanor, she seems to have seen the world, but the clothes on her body are obviously from the mainland.

He doesn't speak Mandarin very well, and there are not many mainlanders who go to Hong Kong at this time, and everyone communicates in Cantonese or English on weekdays. He didn't know what this mainland girl was doing when she came to her, so he showed a standard smile and just greeted her in stiff Mandarin, when the other party was already smiling at her and said in very fluent English: "Are you the stockbroker Kim Jim? My name is Anna, and I would like to entrust you to open an account for me to buy and sell stocks in your company." As he spoke, he handed over his passport information.

Kim Jim gave a quick look.

Among his colleagues, there have been occasional customer entrustments from Guangzhou, but this is the first customer from such a mainland. And I was surprised that she spoke English so well, and I was even more surprised that how could she know that she had come over and designated herself to open an account for her.

"I may disappoint you, but the amount I plan to invest is not large, just 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Anna continued.

Among small retail investors, HK$10,000 is not a small amount. What's more, for Jin Jim, who is in urgent need of customers, let alone 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if it is only 1,000, it is a surprise now.

Kim Jim immediately sat down to receive her seriously, filled out the information for her, and when she asked what stock she wanted to buy, Anna wrote the symbol of the stock on a piece of paper.

Jin Jim glanced at it, slightly stunned.

With his natural sense of smell and meticulous background checks, he has been optimistic about this check lately, and he always feels that something will happen soon. I was thinking about whether to take out all my savings and buy it and gamble. But I haven't made up my mind yet. I didn't expect this girl to take a fancy to this one as much as herself, and she thought it was very coincidental, but she didn't ask anything, and continued to fill in the information while bowing her head, and accosted: "Miss Anna, as far as I know, there is no stock market in the mainland now, except for Guangzhou, many other places have hardly heard that there will be a special trip to our Hong Kong to open an account to entrust us to buy stocks, and a customer from the mainland like you is still the first." ”

Anna smiled but said nothing.

It's quite amazing to sit face-to-face with my godfather, who was still a white-faced and handsome kid when he was young, talking about business like this, and listening to him serve himself in a serious tone.

Although Jin Jim was self-taught to get the qualification, he was very professional, and quickly filled in the account opening information, and when he was about to fill in the stock code and amount to buy, he suddenly heard the girl opposite say: "Please add the maximum leverage for me." What is the maximum leverage that your company can provide to customers?"

Jin Jim was stunned for a moment and said, "Quadruple." ”

"Then add four times the leverage for me. Anna smiled.

Kim Jim was a little frightened.

Adding four times leverage means that this stock account can have five times the principal amount to operate. That is, 10,000 can become 50,000. If it is profitable, the income will naturally be doubled, but if it is lost, the loss amount will be forced to close the position by the securities company when it reaches the customer's principal line, that is, the securities company will make a steady profit, and the customer will have nothing in the end.

This is a kind of venture capital behavior with great opportunities and risks.

"Are you sure you want to add four times leverage?"

Although the customer's profit or loss does not matter to him, he only needs to charge the commission according to the customer's instructions, and the greater the customer's leverage, the more commission he will make.

But out of work ethic, and a good impression of the young lady, Kingjim was afraid that she did not know the risks, so he explained it carefully to her and confirmed it with her.

"Thank you, Mr. Kim, but I decided, please add four times leverage for me. ”

Anna decided to take a gamble as well.

After Kim Jim made sure she didn't change her mind, he finally filled in the quadruple leverage for her. Finally, hand over the document and ask her to review and sign it.

Once signed, the fiduciary relationship is established.

Anna took it and looked at it, signed her name, and said, "Mr. Kim, it's a great honor to be your customer. Please buy this stock for me as soon as possible and hold it until the end of March. On the last trading day of March, please sell for me, minus the commission you delegated to sell, and remit the rest of the proceeds to me, I mean, if you make money then. I have attached the instructions in writing to the entrustment contract. ”

It is rare for a client to place such a clear order early after buying a stock. Kim Jim was surprised again. Confirm with Anna again. Anna reaffirmed that she was correct, and Kim Jim finally agreed.

"Don't worry, you are my first customer! I will definitely execute the trading operation in strict accordance with your instructions, and I hope that your account will be prosperous and make a fortune at that time!"

When the matter was over, Kim Jim handed Anna the customer contract and said heartily as he sent Anna out.

As a broker, I would never have told the person who came to me that the other party was my first customer.

But to this Miss Anna, who seemed to be a little mysterious and very charming, perhaps to let her know how much she valued her, Kim Jim couldn't help but say it.

Anna glanced at the small birdcage-like work cubicle behind Kim Jim and smiled, "Mr. Kim, I believe in you, and thank you for accepting my commission. I have a gut feeling that you will be a big man in this financial street in the future, and many juniors will see you as their idol. I am honored to be your first customer!"

Cantonese people like to beg for lip service, and Jin Jim is no exception. Today, the beautiful female customer came to him by herself, gave him a good start, and now she has asked for such a good lip gloss, naturally she will not take it seriously, but she is also very happy, and after humbling herself, she thanked him repeatedly.

Anna smiled and said goodbye to him. Jin Jim sent her all the way to the outside of the office building, and couldn't help but chase after her when he saw her back leave.

"Miss Anna, how did you know about me and find me to operate your account for you?" after all, ......," he rubbed his hands, "I'm still a novice. ”

Anna smiled and waved the business card she had just taken in her hand at him, "I saw the advertisement you distributed on the street and came to him. ”

Kim Jim sighed and laughed.

Anna said goodbye to him and turned to leave.

……

The next day, Kim Jim called Anna's hotel and told her that an account had been opened for her and that he had bought the stock at the price of the day.

The next day, the long-standing stock began to rise slowly, and by the end of the day, it was two points higher than its opening price.

Anna knew that she should have made the right bet, and now she doesn't think about it, since she came to Hong Kong thirty years ago, let's have a good time. I walked around the commercial street, bought cosmetics and clothes for my mother, bought a couple watch for my mother and father, bought Transformers toys and Lego bricks from Hasbro that were not available in the mainland at this time, bought bird's nest cakes and Korean ginseng from old Hong Kong for my grandmother, and bought a lot of various foods to share with my neighbors. In the end, I went to see a live concert between Jenny and Rowan, and after a concert, both slaps were almost broken.

……

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the delegation is about to return to China. Those in the group bought large and small items together with the luggage that cannot be randomized, and then go to the special counter of the Shanghai Friendship Store to pick up the goods.

Before Anna went out, a neighbor asked her to buy something. I packed all the things I bought and checked them, and when I was about to fill out the list, I hesitated.

In her bag, there is a Givenchy classic lighter. When I went shopping that day and passed by Givenchy, I remembered Lu Zhongjun at a glance, and I felt that I was very compatible with him. Now that I'm about to check in, I feel like I'm quite nervous, how could I think of buying something for him. Even if he buys it, it is unlikely that he will give it away.

Forget it, I bought it all, and I can give it to my dad.

When Anna thought about this, she was relieved, so she filled out the list and checked everything in.

Before Anna got on the plane, she spoke to Kim Jim on the phone. Kim Jim excitedly told her that in the past half a month, the stock has risen by 30 percent. He is very optimistic and believes that there is still a lot of room for growth in the future.

Anna thanked him, hung up the phone, got on the plane, and returned to Shanghai the same way. The consignment had not yet arrived, so I went home.

My mother had been waiting for Anna at home, and was very happy to see that she had finally returned. Listening to Anna talk about what she saw in Hong Kong, it sounded quite interesting, and I couldn't help but regret that I didn't ask for leave to go with Anna in the first place. Anna comforted her and said that there would be more in the future, and said that she had bought her a lot of things with the money her father had given her, and had also bought her and her father a couple watch. Mom was happy.

A week later, the consignment arrived in Shanghai. Anna called the neighbor who asked her to bring her things to pick them up and check them back to S City.

On the day of receiving the things, the neighbors each got something, Xiaoguang couldn't put it down with the toys, and a group of children looked at them all to death, and the house was as lively as the New Year.

While Anna was trying on new clothes in front of her mother in front of the mirror, she quietly took out the lighter from a pile of things and hid it.

……

After returning from Hong Kong, Anna continued to go back to the garment factory to work as an apprentice to Lao He. On the first day I went back, I heard two things.

The first is the Burst of Lace News. said that the factory director and his sister-in-law were found out by his wife, and his wife didn't dare to make a big noise because of her reputation, but she came over and took off the watch in her sister's hand and drove her away, and scratched seven or eight blood marks on the factory director's face. Now she sits in the factory director's office every day and stares, where the factory director goes, she goes.

The second thing is not good news for the women workers in the factory.

In the second half of last year, the director of Zeng signed a contract with a customer in the field for a large amount of tweed winter clothing, and the other party also paid an advance payment. It is said that he was an old friend of the factory director when he ran supply and marketing in his early years. The factory director Zeng believed to the other party, brought all the materials in at one time, asked the workers to work overtime to catch up with the goods, and finally sent all the goods out before the contract period. I didn't expect that the balance payment could not be collected now. The other party sold the goods and ran away, and no one knew where they went.

This final payment is not small, it is said to be nearly 10,000 yuan. Now the director of Zeng is being urged by the credit union to repay the loan, and he is anxious. The female workers complained that they were supposed to be paid a few days ago, but the factory director dragged it over under the pretext that there was no cashier, but now, no one is even there, and the doors and windows of the factory director's office are closed, and they are there to discuss whether it is going to go out of business.

Although Anna knew that this former factory director would not be able to operate, she didn't know exactly how to go out of business. Now that this has happened, I guess it should be. I didn't say anything, and I went home after work.

Half a month later, the Kyushu garment fabric factory really stopped working and closed its doors. Many people were owed wages, and the female workers surrounded the former factory manager in the workshop to demand wages. Director Zeng was desperate, and finally gave everyone a blank note, promising that he would find a way to make up for the salary as soon as possible, but everyone had no choice, some scolded, some sighed, and finally could only believe him, and dispersed in twos and threes.

The wages that Anna owed added up to less than twenty yuan, so she didn't care at all, took the white slip, and said goodbye to the worried-faced elder sister He Bi and Lao Zhang, and then went home.

……

It's April in the blink of an eye.

Dad came home in late March.

When he came back from this trip, he took off his original clothes and officially changed jobs. During the time I just came back, I had a lot of socializing and running around during the day. My mother also works during the day, but at night, the house is lively. Dad basically doesn't go out, so he lets grandma and mom rest, and cooks and cooks every night. After eating, I either watched TV with my mother, or went out for a walk with her, and the two went in and out of pairs, just like a young couple who had just gotten married. fell into the eyes of the neighbors and joked, and my father didn't care, as if he wanted to make up for all the companionship he had missed in the previous years. At this point, Anna automatically disappeared with the light to create time for them to be alone.

Seeing that her parents are good, Anna feels that she is also very happy.

Really happy.

……

At the end of March, Anna and Kim Jim had a transatlantic phone call. Kim Jim told her on the phone in a very excited voice that he had sold all of her shares at the current price in accordance with her entrustment contract.

In two months, the stock has more than tripled. Quadruple leverage, that is to say, the money in Anna's account has changed from 10,000 Hong Kong dollars she invested herself at the beginning to 167,000 yuan, which is less than 60,000 yuan when converted into RMB. After deducting various formalities and interest, she still has about 50,000 left.

At the time, this was already a lot of money.

Kim Jim's tone on the other end of the phone was very regretful, and he asked her why she didn't hold it for a while, and according to her own judgment, the stock should still have room to rise.

But Anna didn't plan to hold it anymore. The head and body of the fish can be eaten, and the rest of the fish tail is left for others to eat.

When Jin Jim heard her explain, the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then expressed his admiration for her idea. said that he had arranged a special channel, and in order to facilitate her collection, he would transfer the money to China in batches as soon as possible and collect it by her.

Anna thanked him. After hanging up the phone, about half a month later, she received a notice from the international settlement center of a bank in Guangzhou, saying that a remittance had arrived in Hong Kong, and she was asked to go through the exchange procedures with her signature account.

Anna suppressed her excitement and told her parents that she was going to Guangzhou. Use the excuse to sign up for the TOEFL test to prepare for studying abroad in the future.

The TOEFL test has only been around for a few years, and it is a buzzword that is often on the lips of young people in China who dream of going abroad. In the past, I could only go to Hong Kong to take the test, but just last year, I also set up a test center in Guangzhou.

After Anna met her parents, she didn't describe to them too much what the world would look like in 30 years. My parents didn't know that Anna had studied abroad before, but they only knew that she knew English, and they believed it, thinking that it would be a good thing if she wanted to go abroad in the future, so they were very supportive and agreed.

Dad was not at ease at first, saying that he would accompany her to Guangzhou. Anna hastened to refuse. Repeatedly said that he could do it alone. Dad had no choice but to agree, but insisted that Anna fly back and forth, saying that it would be more convenient. In the end, he personally sent Anna to the airport in Shanghai.

Anna arrived in Guangzhou smoothly, completed the foreign exchange settlement procedures, deposited the money in the bank, stayed in Guangzhou for a day and walked around, and bought a plane ticket the next day, planning to go back to Shanghai.

The flight she was on was a Trident plane, with a destination in Beijing and a stopover in Shanghai.

At this time, there are not many people traveling by plane, and airport supervision is not as strict as it was in the future. While Anna was waiting for the flight, she saw several crew members riding bicycles under the plane, moving the bicycles to the corner of the tarmac, and then directly onto the plane.

After the security check, Anna got on the plane, found her place, placed her luggage and sat down.

Her position was in the middle part of the cabin, leaning against the porthole. After sitting down for a while, the passengers on the side came. He was a young man with a gold watch, a gold necklace around his neck, a gold ring on his hand, and leather shoes with a pointed headband.

Judging by his clothes and superior demeanor, he looks like he came from Hong Kong.

After a few moments of sitting down, the man kept glancing at Anna. Soon, she began to introduce herself to Anna. said that his name is Lin Guokun, a Hong Kong native, who went to Shanghai to invest and discuss business, and has a villa maid at home, known as Young Master Lin.

"Miss, don't you look like you're from the mainland? Elegant and moving! What's your name? Where did you come from? Would you like to get to know each other and make friends?"

The young master of Hong Kong spoke with a stiff accent, ignoring the gazes of the passengers on the side, he kept getting close to Anna, and took out a bag of chocolates from his bag and threw it generously in front of Anna.

"Chocolate, please! Have you eaten it before?"

I didn't expect such "good" luck to sit on the side of such a character.

Anna couldn't help but laugh, and when she saw that her boarding pass was suppressed by chocolate, she quickly put it away.

This Young Master Lin's eyes are quite sharp, and in such a flash, he actually let him see the name above.

"Anna, your name is Anna, what a name, Miss Anna, have you ever been to Hong Kong, and I can take you there if I have a chance......"

"Thanks, no!"

Anna answered coldly, took out a book, and turned her head towards the porthole.

"Miss Anna, you're eating chocolate! don't be embarrassed!"

On the side, Young Master Lin was still making noise in Anna's ears.

Anna was so depressed that when she looked up and wanted to ask the flight attendant if there was a vacant place to change, she suddenly saw a young man with wide shoulders and long legs, wearing a black leather coat and carrying a simple suitcase walk in from the direction of the hatch in front of her.

It's like a passenger on the same plane.

The flight attendant walked over with a pack of blankets in her hand. Because the aisle was narrow, I almost ran into him.

The man stopped, stepped aside, and helped the flight attendant to look like a pile of blankets that were about to fall to the ground.

When he turned his head, Anna froze. It was as if my heart had been struck by something. Knock jumped, and then jumped uncontrollably.

This man who stopped in the aisle was actually Lu Zhongjun, who he hadn't seen for almost a year!

I haven't seen him for a year, and his eyebrows are still the same, but his expression looks a little indifferent, which seems to be a little different from what Anna remembers. A little more strange.

The beautiful stewardess in uniform smiled and thanked him.

Lu Zhongjun nodded slightly and continued to walk towards the cabin.

Completely unconscious, just a second before his gaze swept over, Anna quickly turned in, and bent down as if she was about to pick something.
