Chapter 2: Familiar Strangers
"Ringing ringing", the alarm clock woke me up on time at half past seven in the morning, got up, sat up and scratched my scalp with my hands, a little disappointed, I didn't dream last night?
I haven't dreamed for two nights and I didn't feel as tired when I woke up as I did in those days.
I went to bed at eight o'clock last night, and I was looking forward to dreaming of life after the age of twenty. But these two nights, the weather is not beautiful, the temperature in August is very hot, although the squeaky ceiling fan is turned on, it is still hot and can't sleep. Forced himself to close his eyes, he finally fell asleep, and was woken up hungry.
After coming to Southwest City, I felt that life was not easy, and I needed money every step of the way, and I have been very saving.
Except for the three thousand dollars sewn into the pillow, this is money that cannot be moved. and the hundred yuan that Uncle Liu Hai stuffed into me when he left. Tell me:
"You'll only get paid in a month, so let's spend it first. ”
Well. I didn't say anything at the time. I know that I don't have the ability to do so now, but I will definitely repay this kindness in the future!
I now rely on instant noodles for most of my day, two packs of dinner, three cents a pack of the cheapest kind, add more boiling water when soaking, soak for a while, and wait until the soak is very high before eating. Breakfast is a roadside stall of soy milk fritters, which costs eight cents, and I have to eat more in the morning. Skip meals at noon and drink more water.
In this way, it reminds me of how difficult it was for my parents and sister to save enough 3,000 yuan for me with my father's income and my mother's odd jobs.
I really want to help my family bear some of it, and I am very eager to support this family.
Pushing open the door, the fresh and pleasant air refreshes people, completely drives away the residual drowsiness after waking up, and makes me feel refreshed immediately.
I washed my face with running water at the door, rinsed my mouth vigorously, and took out a small round mirror in my pocket to take a look.
It seems to be a little thinner than when I first arrived, but this way it looks more handsome.
What has changed more is the self I see, and I have a sense of self-confidence.
I feel like I'm more mentally full and confident. I don't have the childish atmosphere I had when I first came.
All of a sudden, I felt that my mind became very clear and active.
The people and things that I came into contact with in the last two years of the dream are copied in the present.
But with great certainty. I had just been on work for ten days, and I only knew a few people.
And now more than a dozen people in the company, and shareholders who often come to the trading floor, have a very familiar feeling.
Like his old colleagues, he knows the roots.
How to look at the market, what stocks are, how to buy and sell, how to operate, how to analyze?
"Haha" I couldn't help laughing, I'm really different from others!
"Coo-goo" seems to have an opinion in my stomach, and I have been protesting like this for the past two days, which has brought my contemplation back.
Feed it first, let's say, this time has made you suffer, and good days are coming!
I'm happy today, and I put on the short-sleeved shirt with a round neck that I usually don't want to wear, which was given to me by Uncle Liu Hai when he came home last summer, and I have been wearing it when I was ready to be admitted to college.
'It's just a pity!' I brought it out this time.
It was past eight o'clock, there were fewer people eating at the street stalls, and the sun could already shine on a few small tables. Eating a meal is also equivalent to taking a sunbath.
"A bowl of soy milk, a dollar of fritters"
I'm going to buy an extra five cents of fried dough sticks today, but I don't know, but the most important reason for the joy and hope is that I'm really hungry.
"Okay. The stall owner smiled at me, as if he understood my reason.
The soy milk fritters came up, and the battle was solved in three minutes.
I really want to get to the securities company as soon as possible today, I don't know why, I have a kind of joy to meet again after a long absence.
The road was a few minutes faster than before, and the hall of the securities company did not open until nine o'clock, and there were not many people near the door, but Aunt Wang, who sold newspapers, had already set up a stall.
"Aunt Wang is early"
Aunt Wang raised her head sharply, looked at me in surprise, and then smiled kindly at me.
Aunt Wang wore a white sun hat with a long brim, her skin was slightly tanned, and she smiled very kindly.
"You just came to the company, young man, what's your name?" Recently, I was the first to arrive at the door of the company every day, and obviously Aunt Wang also noticed it.
"Aunt Wang, my name is Yang Ming"
I immediately realized that Aunt Wang and I are not familiar yet, and we have not even reached the point of acquaintance.
It's just that we've seen each other from a distance,' I remember in the dream, as if we didn't start to know each other until ten days later,'
I was so happy that I forgot that Aunt Wang was an acquaintance to me now, and Aunt Wang was facing me as a stranger.
"When Aunt Wang has no business on a hot day, she will go to the hall to cool off. It's hot outside at noon. ”
"Okay Xiao Yang, thank you. ”
I had to say a few words without saying anything, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
Aunt Wang is about 50 years old, and she works as an accountant in the city tool factory, because the company went bankrupt and laid off, and she makes a living by selling newspapers.
In this era, newspapers should be the most comprehensive and timely tool for investors to understand financial news.
And then there's the TV, the radio. The small print posters posted on the trading floor are still not as comprehensive as the newspapers.
After a while, you have to pay attention when you enter the hall, don't let people think of yourself as a self-cooked, I don't like this feeling, it's embarrassing.
I'm a little introverted, but I'm not the honest kind.
Several of my classmates said I was smoldering. I don't know exactly what this sullen type is.
However, I did not reject my friends and the type of evaluation I made, and accepted it silently.
Nine o'clock came, and many people came. Although they came to speculate in stocks, some people were still quite punctual. It's like this every day, and it's become natural.
People rush in, and those who rush in first are those who seize the advantageous terrain, and finding a good location for a comfortable day is the right way.
This hall is about 300 square meters and has six rows of chairs. More than 10 people can sit in a row, and 12 people can be squeezed when there are many people.
Those who do not have seats stand at the back or on both sides, and some stand next to the cabinet.
The walls on the west side of the hall are covered with screens. There are also some small TV screens where there are gaps in the other two walls. The small TV screen can play the trend of the large market or individual stocks.
Directly opposite the entrance to the north is a sealed trading counter, which has three windows responsible for receiving orders when the stock is good, and only one or two windows are open when the stock is low.
The people who come to the window are generally older people, those who are not familiar with the counter transaction, and the shareholders who are used to getting the delivery order after trading, because there is no delivery order in the cabinet transaction.
Without a delivery order, it feels as if the money is saved, but it doesn't give you a passbook, and there is no bottom in your heart.
At this time, Deputy Manager Zhang walked into the hall with a larger piece of paper.
This deputy manager Zhang is Uncle Liu Hai's classmate, and it was he who helped me to put me in. In my dreams, he was my nobleman.
In the next two years, he cared about me and deliberately nurtured me.
I walked briskly over it.
"Uncle Zhang, I'll post it. ”
Deputy Manager Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw me coming quickly, and seemed to have noticed that I was different from the original.
After all, I can't hide my sudden self-confidence, and the decisiveness of walking like the wind has also changed from me a few days ago. ’
Deputy Manager Zhang said "um", handed over the paper full of words, stood aside and did not walk away.
I knew it was looking at me, or looking at where my change came from. ’
This is a full-written stock market analysis report, with an analysis of the general trend and a recommended analysis of individual stocks.
Written in a thicker pen, the font is punchy and pleasing to the eye, and it smells of my favorite blue-black ink.
It is the habit of Deputy Manager Zhang to write analysis reports, and a new handwritten report will be hung here in a few days, and he has always done it himself.
I skillfully took down his previous report and handed it to Deputy Manager Zhang with both hands.
Some of the other expired news and finances were also taken down and put in a small cupboard on the side.
The new report was neatly sandwiched in the center of the page, and it didn't take much time to go before and after.
It is the habit of Deputy Manager Zhang to post new reports and take away the previous reports written by himself.
Deputy Manager Zhang's face showed a hint of surprise, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, and he looked very satisfied, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Then he slowly turned around thoughtfully and left the hall.
In this new analysis, only a third of the time is devoted to the analysis of the general trend.
The analysis pointed out that although the market has gradually risen recently and has continued to maintain a good momentum, it is currently unable to support a big bull market at the macro level.
Most of the enterprises are not in very good condition, and it is recommended to pay attention to the electrical industry related to people's livelihood. ’
And the stock recommendation column, recommended is the small children and grandchildren bought yesterday Hong Electric 0839. It occupies two-thirds of the space, and makes a detailed analysis of the stock through various data, stock fundamentals, financial status, and market activity.
And optimistic about its long-term growth, it is recommended to pay attention to the dip and can hold it for a long time.
The little grandson is actually called Sun Hu, his father's surname is Sun, and his mother's surname is Hu, which happens to use his parents' surnames to give him the name.
People who often come to the trading hall call him Sun Monkey, who is the living treasure of the trading hall and does not care about it.
This kid is a self-cooked and enthusiastic, and he will take the initiative to teach the essentials of operation when new shareholders come.
But he is more anxious, although he is small, he is not afraid of things, as can be seen from yesterday's confrontation with a strong man.
Today's mind is very clear, and I know in my dream that he has become my most iron buddy in the past two years.
I glanced back at the cabinet and saw that Sun Monkey was looking this way.
I smiled meaningfully at him, although he doesn't know me well now, but for the self-familiar and future iron buddies, I don't have to be so reserved.
Three steps and two steps, Sun Monkey jumped over and said:
"Little brother, what's the matter, it's difficult to find a buddy?"
I didn't answer, just smiled, and looked up at the analysis I had just posted.
Sun Monkey had never looked at this thing before, and when he saw my mysterious appearance, he also looked up.
"Uh-huh" only glanced twice, and immediately couldn't help but lean forward again.
The post was not very high, although Sun Monkey is not tall, he can still see it clearly when he looks at it normally.
But in the next step, I saw that Sun Monkey was on tiptoe, his face was already lying up, and he stared at the analysis report with his eyes open and his mouth open, and his expression was intent.
