Tang Xiao, who came out of Huaan Securities, wanted to learn the basic knowledge of stocks, but he didn't know where to start, and he was looking forward to someone taking him to get started, which would save a lot of detours. Getting started is a must, and improvement is based on practice.

Just when Tang Xiao had this idea, he was wandering on the street and met Mr. Liu Yun, who had just come to the school for a semester - a person with deep and unpredictable eyes, he was a physics teacher in the second year of high school. Tang Xiao, as the representative of the physics class, naturally greeted the physics teacher Liu Yun. I haven't seen you for many days, and there seems to be something hidden behind the hearty smile of the physics teacher, and there is a little more serious look.

"Hello Mr. Liu."

"Tang Xiao, if you have something, go to my place to play." Seeing Tang Xiao greeting him, he thought it was okay to come to Liu Yun, and invited him to his office to play.

"Okay." Tang Xiao readily agreed, he had excellent grades, and he had never been estranged from the teacher, and he took this opportunity to solve his confusion.

When he arrived at the teacher's apartment, Liu Yun used a disposable paper cup to make a cup of tea for himself and Tang Xiao, and said to Tang Xiao: "I heard that you are the school's gambling god, let's play two games today." ”

As he spoke, Liu Yun took out a deck of pokers from the drawer of his desk.

"Teacher, that's a false praise, what kind of master am I. There are only so many people who play regularly, and it's just a matter of good luck. Tang Xiao explained the name of the so-called God of Gamblers.

"Just play around, fried golden flowers are your best?" Liu Yun seemed to have some understanding of Tang Xiao's actions.

"Know the rules." Looking at the teacher's seriousness, Tang Xiao wanted to know what he wanted to do.

"Ten yuan of capital for one person, one dime on the bottom bet, one cent on the smallest unit, and no cap."

Liu Yun didn't take 200 dimes, but just took a piece of paper and a pen, and then recorded the bets on it.

The fried golden flower is very simple, the three cards are bigger than the size, more than ten rounds down, although each game has its own wins and losses, but in the end Tang Xiao's capital ran to Liu Yun.

Tang Xiao was secretly shocked, this teacher was a hidden master. His gambling skills have never lost so badly. Finally, when you get a big card, the opponent folds and only wins an ante bet; Take a small card to bluff, the teacher is like knowing that he is stealing a chicken, call directly, and still lose.

"The technology is good, but it's still a little worse." Liu Yun looked at Tang Xiao and smiled, and then said, "What do you think?" ”

"Teacher, you're a master."

"Well, what else?"

"I've lost everything with you."

"What else?" Liu Yun opened the unique mode of student thinking inspiration as a teacher, and asked three "what else" one after another.

"You're out of luck better than I am today." Tang Xiao thought about the cards that were only a little smaller than the opponent when he bluffed a few times, and he was extremely depressed.

"It seems that too, I'm a little luckier than you."

"Teacher, what do you think about gambling, nine out of ten bets to lose, ten bets and nine cheats, why are there so many people who rush to gamble?" Today's miserable loss made Tang Xiao start to think about the value of gambling.

"A small gamble is pleasant, a big gamble hurts the body. Man has two legs, and money has four legs. People make money and tire people to death; Money makes money, comes quickly, and goes quickly. If you make money quickly, you will be attractive. ”

"But not everybody can make money."

"Come in a batch, eliminate a batch, and leave a batch."

"Teacher, is there an undefeated gambling strategy?"

"It's a very tempting topic, and countless game scientists have pondered it. If the amount of money you have is unlimited, you can be invincible. ”

"In other words, no one can be invincible forever, because of the limited amount of funds."

"Well, that's it."

"Is the stock market, which has been hot lately, also gambling?"

Tang Xiao's question, a strange look appeared on Liu Yun's face, and it was fleeting.

"If you bet on the ups and downs, it's gambling; If it is analysis and prediction, reasonable intervention, it is a game. Gambling can be a win-win situation, and gambling is at most a tie with no losses. Liu Yun was still unsatisfied, and then said: "The simpler the card type, the greater the gambling component, the gambling is luck, such as guessing the front and back of the coin, guessing the size of the leopard, buy and leave, resigned to fate." If human thinking, analysis, and judgment are integrated, it is a new realm, the realm of game. ”

"Teacher, is the game really as amazing as you say?"

"The way of gambling is unpredictable. The development of game theory has pushed it to a peak. The prisoner's dilemma, the smart pig game, the deer hunting game, and the gunman game are all exemplars. Liu Yun continued: "There are also more interesting games, such as chasing women and leftover men and women. ”

"Game theory still studies this?"

"Life is a game everywhere. What a happy thing it is for a man to catch up with the girl of his dreams. Chasing women means that if there is a beautiful woman in the crowd, if you want to talk to her and develop further, the most effective way is to let your companion pursue her companion first, and finally pursue her with a greater chance of success. ”

"Teacher, I didn't expect you to be a person who judges people by their appearance." Tang Xiao said jokingly.

"My Fair Lady, a gentleman is good, and it may not be ugly that is talented, capable, and knowledgeable."

Tang Xiao didn't continue to dwell on the issue of chasing women, and asked Liu Yun: "Teacher, what about the game of leftover men and women?" ”

"The comprehensive literacy of men and women is divided into four categories of ABCD from high to low, A man pursues B woman, B man pursues C woman, C man pursues D woman, and finally D man and A woman are left. As a result, it is often said that a flower is stuck in cow dung. ”

"This game theory is really interesting, I'll look at it more in the future."

"There are some things in game theory that are still very useful." Liu Yun said as if summarizing.

Thinking of his dreams, remembering what he had seen in the past, and thinking of the problems he was struggling with, Tang Xiao couldn't help asking: "Teacher, in this world, why do some people get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, get up earlier than chickens, and sleep later than chickens, but live at the bottom of society?" A lifetime of toil, but no freedom? ”

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Human beings have something in common with other lives: they seek advantage and avoid harm. In addition to the pure one-third of an acre of land that I pursued in my heart, most of the rest of the things are related to the word Li, or the word Yi. Bustling crowds, coming and going. Only they can distinguish between people and passers-by. As seen in today's wandering, all kinds of vendors and hurried pedestrians form a confused picture, and there is no passion in the joy, and the fatigue of running for life is expressed on the face. Helplessly, I can't do it. In order to survive, sometimes you need to bear something and give up something at the same time. Society is not completely fair, and many people's lifelong goals are the starting point for some people. Many people are anxious to find a job, many people are struggling with poverty in order to live, and many are overdrawn in order to support their families, this is the current situation of social life. Eating is to live, and living is not to eat. The problem of "eating" is the threshold of many people's lives.

Liu Yun thought for a long time and replied: "Self-selection is different, and the nature of work is different. ”

"Teacher, is there a way to freedom in this world? At the very least, it has to be a job with a lot of money, little work, close to home and little responsibility. ”

"A lot of people laugh when they hear your question." Liu Yun looked at Tang Xiao, who was stunned, and then said, "However, this one does exist. Just because they can't do it doesn't mean that no one can. ”

"What is it?"

"It's an ideal state."

"That's not going to happen?"

"To be able to achieve it, you have to endure the pain of being different from ordinary people, and even the people around you are incomprehensible and relentless. It is a path of freedom and, perhaps, a path of destruction. ”

"Teacher, has anyone ever succeeded on this path?"

"Yes."

"Then I'm going to take this path too"

"Are you sure you can withstand all kinds of confusion and ridicule? Even from relatives and friends. ”

"Yes. Teacher, what is this path? Tang Xiao replied very happily, he didn't bear it, and he didn't get it.

"The road to freedom is also the road to destruction. A path that can free people from fate, but is this kind of liberation also a kind of fate? Physics teacher Liu Yun's eyes stared into the distance, as if he had forgotten everything, and he only became one with the environment.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, the success or failure of right and wrong is empty, and how many things in ancient and modern times are all laughing and talking."

In this way, the conversation with Liu Yun allowed Tang Xiao to embark on a path of freedom full of thorns and start his unique and stubborn life.
