New York in winter is covered with a thin layer of snow, and the bustle seems to be locked in a quiet pure white. The warm sun after the snow spills through the cracks of the skyscrapers and glass buildings, and rushes to Central Park with warmth. The soft sunlight jumped down through the branches and plunged into the unfrozen water, stirring up a pale golden ripple that reflected the light shimmered in the snow at the edge of the lake.

The streets of Manhattan are bustling and crowded, with long lines of cars, moving slowly. Zhao Haiying sat in the back seat of the Mercedes Benz and kept talking on the phone. Apparently there was a series of data on the contents of the call, and the driver couldn't help but peek a few times in the rearview mirror. Hanging up the phone, Zhao Haiying took a deep breath, sorted out his mood, turned his head to look out the window, and suddenly asked the driver what he was thinking. The driver was obviously a little caught off guard, but the long-term tacit understanding made him quickly adjust his mood and asked Zhao Haiying about his mood at the moment. Zhao Haiying's cold and resolute "golden" face was reflected in the car window, and he did not immediately answer the driver's question, perhaps he was already distracted and did not hear the driver's words at all. He kept looking out the window of the car when he suddenly saw a familiar figure, and he almost told the driver to stop, only to find that it was an unfamiliar face. "Bang!" Suddenly, there was a loud collision sound from behind the car, and the impact of the collision made Zhao Haiying's seatbelt-fastened body rush forward. The sudden impact brought his mind back to reality.

The driver immediately stopped the car and got out of the car with the secretary to negotiate. At this moment, the rapid mobile phone ringtone rang again. Zhao Haiying picked up the phone, and the anxious voice of his good brother Qian Chunsheng came from the other end of the phone: "Haiying, is the traffic jam on the road still serious?" Where have you been? The listing ceremony is about to begin! Zhao Haiying looked at the people who were solving the rear-end collision next to the car, and looked at the long queue of vehicles that were still moving slowly on the narrow street, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Just as he was about to speak, a bicycle rushed out of the white steam coming out of the manhole cover on the side of the road. When he saw this bicycle, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to the phone: "Don't rush, I won't miss ringing the bell!" ”

Zhao Haiying walked into the NASDAQ hall, raised his eyes to the circular screen scrolling with English and numbers, and looked at the name and logo of "Haiyin Group" on the screen, he showed a confident smile.

"Chairman!" Zhao Haiying followed the sound and looked over, only to see Qian Chunsheng, who was holding a phone and wearing a straight suit, squeezed out of the NASDAQ staff who were hurrying through, and his anxious face relaxed the moment he saw him. Zhao Haiying walked over to him quickly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Chunsheng, I told you not to worry, didn't you arrive in time!" Qian Chunsheng shook his head helplessly and smiled: "You always have a way to save the day, at this point, I will obey you!" Let's go! ”

Zhao Haiying and Qian Chunsheng had just walked into the NASDAQ trading floor side by side, and immediately several financial reporters surrounded them with cameras and microphones. Although Zhao Haiying often faces the encirclement of reporters from all walks of life in China, on this special day, when he meets these reporters in the NASDAQ Hall of New York, one of the world's financial centers, he seems to have returned to the time when he was interviewed for the first time, and his nervousness is full of uncontrollable excitement.

The reporters couldn't wait to stretch out the microphone to Zhao Haiying, only to hear a reporter ask: "Hello, Mr. Zhao, today is the day when Haiyin Group is listed on the NASDAQ, and there are 20 minutes to ring the bell. Zhao Haiying smiled slightly and stopped: "On the way I came, I encountered a bad traffic jam and was chased." I bought a bike from a young man passing by, so I wasn't late. ”

Because of Zhao Haiying's unexpected humor, the reporters all laughed, and the tense competition between them was also a little relaxed.

Zhao Haiying continued: "When I was riding, I remembered the scene of riding a bicycle in Shanghai, China, at the University of Finance and Economics, and I felt that God was really interesting, probably to remind me that no matter where I go, I must not forget my roots and original intentions. Without the struggles of the past, without the attachment to my dreams, without the roads that I have crossed under the wheels of my bicycle, I would not be able to stand here. ”

Another reporter immediately followed up with the question: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, I heard that your biggest dream was to come to Wall Street, is it a dream come true today?" Zhao Haiying looked at the reporter, restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Among the world's major cities, the history of New York is only 300 years. But these 300 years have given New York a dazzling halo. Perhaps the brightest of these halos is Wall Street, the world's largest stock trading venue. It controls 40% of the world's financial assets, and the dazzling Wall Street was once the dream of our generation of finance students. However, dreams are also keeping pace with the times, and the center of the world's financial and other industries is shifting from the West to Asia, so as a Chinese engaged in the financial industry, it is very fortunate to live in Shanghai, China. Hywin Group's listing on NASDAQ today is not only a dream come true, but also a new beginning for the dreams of Chinese financiers like me. ”

After listening to Zhao Haiying's heartfelt speech, the reporters present were all moved and nodded one by one. Just when the reporters recalled Zhao Haiying's speech and forgot to ask questions, Qian Chunsheng hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's interrupt the reporters and friends first, the listing ceremony is about to begin!" After the ceremony, there will be a special interview time, so let's continue to talk when the time comes! Now, Chairman Zhao, please come here. ”

Zhao Haiying walked onto the stage with Qian Chunsheng's guidance, and the elaborate promotional video of Haiyin Group was scrolling on the big screen behind him. Zhao Haiying walked to the center of the stage with his head held high, and Qian Chunsheng and other members of the Haiyin Group were lined up on either side of him.

Zhao Haiying looked around the entire NASDAQ trading floor in high spirits, pressed his excitement, and put his hand on the button, at this moment, he seemed to have waited for a lifetime. Looking back on his struggle for so many years, his heart is not only excited, what was once a wild sentence has become a reality today. He pressed the button hard, as if he had exhausted the strength he had accumulated for decades! In an instant, the NASDAQ bell rang immediately. "Bang bang bang", the streamers flew in the air of the hall, and everyone present began to applaud and cheer.

Zhao Haiying turned to look directly at Qian Chunsheng, Chunsheng's face was filled with an excited smile, and his eyes were a little moist. Zhao Haiying held Chunsheng's hand tightly and said emotionally: "After so many years, I finally waited until today!" Brother Chunsheng, thank you! Qian Chunsheng's excited tears finally burst out of his eyes uncontrollably, and he couldn't say a word, but just held Zhao Haiying's hand more tightly. Zhao Haiying knew what Chunsheng wanted to tell him, and what he wanted to express was the same as what he wanted to express: all these years of hard work and suffering, for this moment, it was worth it! Brother, thank you for having you!

This day in 2010 has become another important day in Zhao Haiying's life!

After the listing ceremony of NASDAQ, Zhao Haiying and his party from Hywin Group were invited to visit the American Museum of Finance, which is also on Wall Street, with an irreducible excitement. Mr. Brown, the museum's executive, stood at the door to greet them. Mr. Brown, who was full of silver hair, warmly shook hands with Zhao Haiying and greeted him: "Mr. Zhao, I sincerely congratulate you and your Haiyin Group on their successful listing on the NASDAQ in the United States!" Zhao Haiying smiled and thanked him. Mr. Brown continued, "This is your first time at the Museum of American Finance, and our collection covers all aspects of the financial industry, and there are countless valuable items from all historical periods. There's one thing you're sure to be interested in! "Oh?" Zhao Haiying's curiosity was immediately aroused. Mr. Brown smiled smugly: "Mr. Zhao, please come here." ”

Mr. Brown led them to a display case, which was full of American style solid wood and glass display case, displaying a photo of Comrade *** meeting with John Verlin, former chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, and holding stocks with him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Haiying was very surprised to see this photo here: "You are right, Mr. Brown, this photo really makes my heart surge." Mr. Brown looked at the excited Zhao Haiying and continued to smile and introduced: "I don't know if you know? At that time, Mr. Fan Erlin held the stock of Shanghai Feilo Audio with a face value of 50 yuan, and it has appreciated 1009 times! ”

Hearing this number, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but sigh with sighs.

Zhao Haiying didn't speak, but looked at this photo carefully through the glass, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart: "Everyone only knows the historical significance of this photo, but they don't know the significance of this historical photo and this historical event to me personally. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an important turning point in my life and the path of thousands of ordinary people like me! Looking at this black-and-white photo, Zhao Haiying's thoughts couldn't help but return to that era, that ordinary but destined to set off extraordinary waves......

In November 1986, in Beijing, the cold wind of early winter blew the withered yellow leaves on the ground, bringing a slight chill, but the golden warm sun in the cloudless sky injected vitality into this chill. In the Great Hall of the People, which was gilded with a layer of sunlight, the Sino-US Financial Market Seminar was about to begin, and a delegation of more than 20 people from the United States walked into the Shanghai Hall of the Great Hall of the People and received special courtesy.

This meeting between China and the United States is destined to be a historic moment in the process of China's reform and opening up, because at that time, people were looking at a new financial phenomenon that had just emerged with a complex and even skeptical eye, and the question it brought about -- whether China could engage in a joint-stock system? Can the capital market be developed? Will it shake the dominant position of the public-owned economy and cause the loss of state-owned assets? Doubts, disagreements, and opposition have always accompanied the "baby age" of China's stock market.

In the Shanghai hall, which was full of warm atmosphere, a number of reporters were making live reports in front of the camera. Comrades warmly shook hands with Fan Erlin, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange. During the meeting, Fan Erlin presented the New York Stock Exchange badge to ***, and Comrade *** gave him a stock of China Feilo Audio Company.

It is this picture, under the lens of the world's major media, that has been frozen into a classic historical photo. It was this photograph that was eventually collected by the American Museum of Finance and became a valuable historical artifact.

Comrades' every move at this meeting undoubtedly gave great affirmation and encouragement to the toddler Chinese stock market. In the following ten years, this great man has always paid attention to the development of China's financial market......

After the meeting, Chairman Fan Erlin's car drove smoothly in the traffic on Chang'an Avenue. In the car, Fan Erlin was still in high spirits, carefully examining the stock of Feile Audio Company, he pointed to the signature on the stock ticket, turned to the person next to him and asked: "Director Song, whose name is the owner of the equity on this stock?" After listening to the interpreter's answer, Director Song of the International Department of the People's Bank of China, who accompanied the American distinguished guests, hurriedly explained: "Oh, Zhou Zhishi, he is the deputy governor of the Shanghai branch of the People's Bank of China. Fan Erlin shook his head suspiciously: "Really? The stock you can give me can't be in someone else's name! ”

Director Song explained: "This is a gift, the first batch of shares issued in China, with a face value of 50 yuan, it is a special souvenir given to you by Comrade Xiaoping, Mr. Chairman will not really want to cash it out, right?" After listening to the explanation of the accompanying translator, Fan Erlin said seriously: "Director Song, it is precisely because this stock has an extremely special value and is extremely precious to me that I will keep it forever, so I hope to have its complete rights and interests." Isn't that so? Director Song nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "Your request is reasonable, but this stock is issued in Shanghai, and Beijing can't handle it, so why ...... this matter?" Next, Mr. Fan Erlin's answer was unexpected by Director Song: he was willing to go to Shanghai in person to handle the transfer.

The water of the Huangpu River is surging slowly, and there are many European-style and Chinese-style buildings, which look particularly tall in the sunlight, and the sunny weather makes Zhao Haiying feel particularly happy. The white doves flew across the blue sky in groups, the pigeon whistle corresponded to his whistle, and Zhao Haiying pedaled his bicycle vigorously, shuttling through the streets and alleys of Shanghai. The wind suddenly became stronger, and he unconsciously sniffed and pedaled the bicycle harder. When I drove to the vicinity of the Jin Jiang Hotel in Shanghai, I saw many reporters outside the door from a distance, scrambling to take pictures. Zhao Haiying thought to himself, what kind of big man is here? Hey, it can't be that the newspaper says that Mr. Verlin has arrived, right?

was thinking wildly, not paying attention, a reporter holding a camera to focus on taking pictures, while taking pictures, retreated, just blocking the way, and when Zhao Haiying found him, it was too late. In order to avoid it, he turned the front of the car and fell to the ground with the car. The lunch box and newspaper in the car crate were thrown out, and the soup bag in the lunch box was shattered.

The reporter was startled by the huge movement behind him, looked back, and hurriedly came to pick up Zhao Haiying. Zhao Haiying didn't care about helping the car, quickly picked up the newspaper, and called it luck in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't stain this newspaper, I just bought it this morning, and I haven't had time to read it." Seeing that he was fine, the reporter changed his face, frowned and said, "Ouch, I will ride a bicycle and watch some people in the future." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Zhao Haiying grabbed the reporter's arm: "You just left?" You have to pay for this loss. While the two were entangled, the crowd suddenly swarmed in the direction of the entrance of the hotel. Zhao Haiying looked in the direction of the crowd, oh my God! It turned out to be really Fan Erlin! He couldn't believe his eyes, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, Fan Erlin, the big man Zhao Haiying had only seen in the newspaper and admired with all his heart, suddenly appeared like this! In reality, Mr. Verlin is more heroic than in the newspaper!

Zhao Haiying was stunned and unconsciously let go of the hand that was holding the reporter. The reporter took advantage of the situation to get rid of him, raised his camera and ran over. Zhao Haiying also woke up instantly, and ran over, but he didn't want to be stopped by the security personnel outside the hotel, and in a hurry, he pretended to be the reporter's assistant and sneaked in.

A group of reporters next to him scrambled to press the shutter desperately, and Zhao Haiying was excited: Fan Erlin, is that Mr. Fan Erlin, a Wall Street tycoon? He's really coming to Shanghai! Zhao Haiying has been paying attention to Mr. Fan Erlin's every move in China through the newspaper! Zhao Haiying couldn't help jumping up in the crowd to see more clearly. Mr. Fan Erlin himself, it turns out that even the back is so handsome! Zhao Haiying couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Zhao Haiying's eyes followed Fan Erlin and his party closely until they disappeared out of sight, and then he came back to his senses unwillingly. At this time, the reporter who had just had a small collision with him fiddled with his camera and teased him: "Assistant, do you still want me to compensate you?" I was so excited to see you just now, do you know who that is? Zhao Haiying immediately smiled embarrassedly and said "no", and then proudly told him that of course he knew who it was, and Mr. Fan Erlin was still his idol! The reporter looked at Zhao Haiying and praised him for his good luck, but he saw an idol instead of hitting someone.

Hearing him say this, Zhao Haiying scratched his head proudly and ashamedly, bowed to him and said, "I formally apologize to you." Also, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Haiying, I am a student of the Department of Economics of the University of Finance and Economics, it is a pleasure to meet you! The reporter laughed and said it was fine. Zhao Haiying turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and asked the reporter to keep a photo of Fan Erlin he took as a souvenir. The reporter didn't say yes or disagree, just looked him up and down. Finally, the reporter pointed to the newspaper in Zhao Haiying's hand, calling himself Ma Yue, and asked Zhao Haiying to remember to buy tomorrow's newspaper, and strode away after speaking.

Zhao Haiying raised his hand in confusion, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and under Fan Erlin's news report, the reporter's signature was the word "Ma Yue". Ma Yue, Ma Yue! I, Zhao Haiying, am so lucky today.

Just when Zhao Haiying was standing at the door of the Jinjiang Hotel, secretly rejoicing in his trance, in the hotel suite, Mr. Fan Erlin was drinking coffee and discussing the schedule with the manager of the business department of the Jing'an Stock Exchange. The manager explained with a difficult face: "Mr. Fan Erlin, I would like to introduce you to the situation of the Jing'an business department first. Our current business unit is less than 12 square meters, very shabby, with very few staff, and currently only two stocks. So...... Considering that there is no need for Mr. Fan Erlin to handle the transfer in person, we can handle it on our behalf. After listening to the introduction of the business manager, Fan Erlin stood up and smiled mildly and stubbornly: "I understand very well, but this stock is a gift from Mr. *** personally, and in my opinion, it is extremely precious." I believe that I was also the first American to own Chinese stocks, which is a very meaningful thing for me and for Wall Street. He insisted on going in person and doing it as soon as possible. It was also driven by curiosity to see for himself where China issues and trades stocks. Mr. Fan Erlin was so frank and sincere that the manager of Jing'an Business Department had to say that he would arrange this trip as soon as possible.

At this time, a representative of Fan Erlin's team, Child, asked: How many business personnel are in the Jing'an business department? The manager replied that there were only seven people, and Fan Erlin frowned and put forward pertinently: "To develop China's finance, financial talents are indispensable. However, if there are too few stocks issued in China, there will not be many opportunities for practical operation, and there will be problems in personnel training. Zhao Guoping, the representative of the Chinese side, immediately introduced the plan for talent training, and used Shanghai University of Finance and Economics as an example: "Their economics department is cultivating the economic talents we need. Although they don't even really touch stocks, the department has set up mock classes to train future stock traders through simulated trading. In this way, they can also get a real workout. And as far as I know, some of the cases in the simulation class are from Wall Street in the United States. ”

Zhao Guoping's introduction piqued Child's interest, and he immediately proposed to go to the University of Finance and Economics to observe.

Back at school, Zhao Haiying couldn't suppress his excitement and couldn't help but share today's lucky experience with several classmates in the free discussion in class. Who knew that they not only didn't believe it, but also laughed at Zhao Haiying for bragging, especially the annoying Xie Tianyang. Zhao Haiying hurriedly raised his voice and waved the newspaper in his hand to defend: "That's because I was in a hurry to be an extra!" Then, starting with hitting people on his bike, he told the whole thing in great detail. After saying this, Zhao Haiying squinted at his classmates proudly, and now it was their turn to be dumbfounded. Wu Yibai grabbed the newspaper in Zhao Haiying's hand and said: "Haiying, you can do it, the financial reporter has also seen the living!" ”

Just when Zhao Haiying was intoxicated by everyone's envious gaze, a voice sounded behind him: "Are you so proud to see Fan Erlin?" When Zhao Haiying heard this, he put on a proud posture, turned his head and replied: "Of course, he is my idol!" Then, he froze for a moment, and his proud expression became embarrassed—he saw Professor Xu Jingzhi.

There is no doubt that Zhao Haiying was detained by Professor Xu. At this time, it was Xie Tianyang's turn to show a smug smile at Zhao Haiying.

In the corridor after class, there is occasionally a young student's energetic call, the noise outside the building is faintly heard, and the afterglow of the sunset shines through the window at the end of the corridor. Zhao Haiying took a deep breath and caught up with Professor Xu Jingzhi, who was walking slowly in front, and apologized for his inappropriate behavior in class. Professor Xu asked Zhao Haiying to comment on the character of Fan Erlin. Zhao Haiying lowered his head and thought for a while, then he talked endlessly. He said that Verlin is a great financier, and Verlin is known as the "Reagan" of the financial world in the United States; Because Professor Xu said that Wall Street is a symbol of the capital market and economic strength of the United States, Wall Street is also the place of his dreams......

Professor Xu listened to Zhao Haiying's tirade, suddenly stopped, and looked at him quietly: "I also said that here, Shanghai, will be China's Wall Street, do you remember?" After speaking, he walked forward, and told Zhao Haiying without looking back, asking him to reflect well.

Watching Professor Xu walk into the office, the confused Zhao Haiying did not leave, but followed; I was about to push the door in, but I heard the voice of the head of the department in the office. The words of the head of the department made Zhao Haiying, who was a little lost, excited again: it turned out that tomorrow Mr. Fan Erlin and his party would send representatives to their class to observe and communicate. "Face-to-face communication, great! Communication, English! Heck, I can't miss out on communication because of language, I have to find a good helper. A good helper in English is naturally my girlfriend Chen Menglei, who has excellent English! Thinking of this, Zhao Haiying hurriedly ran out of the office building, got on his bicycle and rushed to the school's family building.

Chen Menglei's house was on the third floor, Zhao Haiying rushed up in one breath, raised his hand and just wanted to knock on the door, when he heard Du Li's voice from the house: "Uncle, the lo noodles you made are really delicious, I can eat them again." Zhao Haiying knew that this Du Li was the son of Menglei's father, Chen Jianhua's old classmate in Beijing. Chen Jianhua is bent on letting his daughter work in Beijing after graduation and be able to marry this well-known Du Li. Zhao Haiying put down the hand that had been raised to the air, turned around and went downstairs.

At the dinner table, Chen Menglei looked at Du Li, who was chatting with her father, with hostility, and deliberately put down her chopsticks and said, "Let's leave quickly when you're done, it's not too early!" The daughter's attitude of not giving Du Li a little face annoyed her father Chen Jianhua. He scolded his daughter and began to talk about it again, firstly to ease the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere, and secondly, to remind his daughter again: "Du Li, your father and I are classmates, and our relationship has been the best since we were in school. The two of us also know each other, and of course I believe that you can take good care of Lei Lei......"

Chen Menglei only said "yes, yes, yes......" when she saw Du Li on the side, and she didn't get angry! She couldn't help but refute her father: What age is it, and you still have to engage in arranged marriages! Chen Jianhua didn't expect his daughter to be unable to get off the stage in front of Du Li, so he raised his hand and slapped Chen Menglei in the face, glaring and roaring: "What did you say? You repeat! Chen Menglei covered her face and rushed out of the door.

Watching his daughter run out of the house, Chen Jianhua sat at the dining table and sighed. Du Li silently poured a cup of tea and brought it to him, let him dissipate his anger, and solemnly said to him: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely be good to Lei Lei." Chen Jianhua looked up at the young man and gently patted him on the shoulder.

When Chen Menglei ran out of the family building, Zhao Haiying was looking at her on a bicycle. As soon as Chen Menglei saw Zhao Haiying, tears burst out of her eyes.

The night is cold and the streets are sparsely populated. Zhao Haiying pedaled the bicycle silently, and Menglei, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly hugged him tightly, and her head rested lightly on Zhao Haiying's back. Zhao Haiying took a deep breath and said, "Xiaolei, as long as you don't give up, I will never give up on you." Don't be sad, take you somewhere. ”

Zhao Haiying took Menglei to the Sunshine Garden Hotel to find his brother Qian Chunsheng, who was the lobby manager here. Chen Menglei kept asking curiously what Zhao Haiying brought her here for, and where did Zhao Haiying get a brother. Zhao Haiying told her that she would know what to do in a while; As for this brother, it's his own hair.

After a while, Qian Chunsheng, who was in a straight suit, walked over. Although Chen Menglei didn't know Qian Chunsheng, Qian Chunsheng had already known Chen Menglei under Zhao Haiying's thoughts. After greeting each other warmly, Zhao Haiying whispered in Qian Chunsheng's ear. Qian Chunsheng smiled: "That's it, it's too simple!" Come with me. Chen Menglei followed behind with a confused expression.

The sound of a flowing piano is clear and shallow, crystal lamps glitter overhead, and the smooth marble floor reflects the figures of a pair of hands holding hands. Zhao Haiying and Chen Menglei sat in a Western restaurant where only a few foreigners dined, and Qian Chunsheng walked over with a silver carved tray, and the crystal cup on the plate was filled with ice cream, and the cherries on the ice cream were as bright as a girl's face. Seeing such a beautiful ice cream, Chen Menglei subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but secretly pulled Zhao Haiying's sleeve! She knew that this beautiful ice cream must be expensive, but she didn't dare to say it clearly, for fear of wiping Zhao Haiying's face.

Qian Chunsheng saw Chen Menglei's actions and hurriedly explained: "The two of you have a good mouth, this is a new product that our restaurant has just launched, please taste it for free." After hearing this, Chen Menglei put her mind at ease, gently scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth, her expression was satisfied and sweet. Zhao Haiying asked her softly, "Are you in a better mood now?" Chen Menglei smiled and said, "I must be in a good mood for such a delicious ice cream." With that, all three laughed.

The campus of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is full of humanistic atmosphere, with quaint teaching buildings imprinted with the mark of the times, and lush camphor trees still green in early winter. A sweet female voice came from the campus radio: "It's music time again, we have prepared a particularly good song for all students, Guo Feng's "Towards Tomorrow" is for everyone to ......"

Zhao Haiying rode a bicycle and hummed along to the radio music. But the good mood is about to be ruined: the rival Du Li is waiting for him.

Du Li rode to the gate of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics early in the morning, and every time someone came out, he had to squint his eyes and carefully distinguish it, for fear of missing Zhao Haiying. It turned out that Du Li liked Chen Menglei from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't figure out how he couldn't compare to Zhao Haiying, a native bun in the countryside, so Chen Menglei would rather turn his face with his father than be with him. He ate a closed door with Chen Menglei, and came to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics instead, just to prepare for Zhao Haiying to retreat.

Zhao Haiying himself is not disgusted with Du Li, after all, everyone has the right to pursue love, and the more people like Chen Menglei, the more it proves that his vision is good. However, when Du Li said something "stop pestering Chen Menglei" and "We are all from Beijing", Zhao Haiying's anger was aroused, and he said mercilessly: "First of all, the person who pesters Menglei is you!" Secondly, don't talk about the word 'Beijinger' all day long, if I were Chen Menglei, I wouldn't look down on you, stalking, not like a man! After speaking, Zhao Haiying kicked his feet and the bicycle rushed out, leaving Du Li, who had not yet reacted, with a contemptuous back.

There is no time to dwell on unpleasant emotions, Zhao Haiying has to hurry to the class, there are important things waiting for him today. As soon as he sat down, the class bell rang, and Professor Xu Jingzhi walked up to the podium to announce that the theme of today's mock class was selling stocks. The students looked left and right, and exchanged ears.

Just as the classroom simulation was on track, the classroom door suddenly opened, the head of the department and Mr. Child walked in, and the boiling classroom suddenly fell silent. The head of the department first introduced Professor Xu and Mr. Child, and Child apologized for the sudden visit, hoping that it did not disturb the normal teaching.

After that, Professor Xu turned to the students, raised his voice and introduced, "Students, this is Mr. Child. Mr. Child, one of the U.S. delegates to the U.S.-China Financial Markets Symposium, worked for the New York Stock Exchange, and is now the executive director of CF Group, a well-known financial company in New York. Today, Mr. Childe has made a special trip to our University of Finance and Economics to observe the students' mock class, and please welcome Mr. Child with warm applause. Immediately, the classroom burst into thunderous applause.

As soon as the applause ended, Mr. Childe began to ask: "Today, at this moment, I walk into this classroom, and I am not a financier, but just a guest who wants to buy stocks. I've heard that there are very good stockbrokers out there who can recommend me quality stocks, right? ”

In the face of this honorable, authoritative figure in the world's financial community, the students became nervous for a while, and the class was silent. When the head of the department saw such a scene, he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. Just when he was about to be cold, Zhao Haiying raised his hand high: "Mr. Child, I think I can recommend good stocks to you to your satisfaction." ”

Childe looked at Zhao Haiying with interest and threw out his first question: "I don't know anything about stocks, and I would like to ask you to explain the relationship between stockbrokers and customers." "This question is too simple for the students present and falls within the category of basic knowledge of the profession. Zhao Haiying replied loudly: "Yes." Generally speaking, there are several kinds of relationships between the two: the first is the relationship between the donor and the agent; the second is the relationship between the debtor and the creditor; the third is the mortgage relationship; The fourth type is the fiduciary relationship. ”

Childe continued: "I'm still confused when you explain it like that. Actually, I want to know, how can I trust you and be willing to empower you? "It's not a difficult question, and it's been discussed in my usual simulation classes. Zhao Haiying replied: "The foundation on which trust is built is complex, but sometimes it is also simple. You can first learn about my qualifications and understand my business capabilities. You can also observe the stocks I recommend to you first, and if you can recognize me for a certain period of time, then we can become the first authorizer and agent relationship. ”

Unexpectedly, Charles shook his head and said, "But I have money and no time, what you said makes me feel that you are very unconfident." If so, I have a hard time believing that you can be a stockbroker who helps me make money. When he said this, Zhao Haiying was a little nervous for a while. Zhao Haiying tried to calm down his emotions, and after clearing his thoughts, he replied: "Mr. Child, my clients have a common characteristic, that is, they don't have extra time to buy and sell stocks by themselves, or they don't know how to analyze stocks, so they chose me. It's not that I'm not confident, but I'm responsible for my customers. This is the first time we have met, and of course I will explain the situation to you. ”

After listening to Zhao Haiying's answer, Childe nodded lightly and said, "I still have a few questions that I hope to get your answers to." With the response to the previous problems, Zhao Haiying's self-confidence has been strengthened. He smiled and replied, "Excuse me." ”

In the classroom, the students were deeply attracted by their quick questions and answers, and Zhao Haiying could feel the approving glances cast by the head of the department and Professor Xu; But he didn't know that outside the classroom, the principal was looking at everything in the classroom through the glass on the door, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The class seemed to pass too quickly, and the bell rang suddenly. Mr. Chard smiled and said, "Very well, but I have one last question, if the client is a very aggressive adventurer, but the stockbroker has a relatively steady idea, will their cooperation last?" Faced with such a question about "people", Zhao Haiying was speechless for a while. Usually, the class mainly discusses issues related to financial theory and practice, and does not involve complex interpersonal interactions. Just as Zhao Haiying racked his brains to think, Chen Menglei took over the topic in fluent English: "Mr. Child, you are very humorous. There is a saying in China that 'there is no doubt about employing people'. If you're adventurous, but you choose a relatively stable stockbroker, it means that you trust him in your heart more than you trust yourself, because people always cooperate out of need, don't you? ”

Chen Menglei's wonderful and confident answer made the students applaud one after another. Childe even gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "You are all excellent, I didn't expect to meet so many young people who love finance in China, you are the big financiers of the future, and the simulation class is very vivid." Thank you. Child went to Chen Menglei again, praised her excellent English skills, and suggested that she go to the United States to continue her studies. Later, Childe turned to Zhao Haiying and asked him what his dream was. Zhao Haiying replied without hesitation: "I want to become a better financier than Mr. Verlin." Hearing this arrogant answer, the whole classroom laughed. Although Mr. Childe also smiled and was amazed at Zhao Haiying's conceit, he encouraged everyone and said, "You have indeed surprised me. In the classroom, you can become a stockbroker; Still in the classroom, you can practice such fluent English. At least I think finance and language are the two hardest things. This time, the students laughed heartily again and thanked Mr. Childe for his encouragement.

Before leaving, Mr. Child gave Chen Menglei the first stockbroker commemorative badge he received on Wall Street as a souvenir. Flattered to accept this overly precious gift, Mr. Childe said, "If you don't want to go, you can give me a gift." Ah, your school emblem is the best gift, because I am very impressed by Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. ”

This unexpected surprise gift won the envy of the students. Xie Tianyang, who has always been unwilling to be left behind, caught up with Mr. Child, who was about to leave, and wanted to ask for an autograph. With a smile, Childe wrote down this sentence in his notebook: If you want to be successful, welcome to Wall Street!

This sentence not only inspired Xie Tianyang, but also inspired Zhao Haiying, inspired Chen Menglei, and inspired all the students present at the time.

In the early morning of the second day after the exchange with Mr. Child, Zhao Haiying still did not come out of his excitement. He brushed his teeth in the mirror, but Child's face appeared in the mirror. Childe stood in the mirror and said to him, "I like complex things, like investments. For me, investing is a sports game, I want to find good opponents to bring out my unlimited potential, and the ultimate winner must be me. Wall Street is the best arena in the world. ”

"On the issue of going abroad, I support my son, you shouldn't say anything." Outside the toilet door, Zhao Haiying's mother's specially raised voice came from behind, which made Zhao Haiying come back to his senses, and quickly rinsed his mouth and went out to be the mediator of the parents' "war".

Zhao Haiying's doctor's mother, Zhou Hui, and the director's father, Zhao Guoping, have completely different opinions on the issue of their son's study abroad. Zhao Haiying's attitude on this issue is - those who study finance must go to the United States to study!

After breakfast, Zhao Haiying followed his father who was in a hurry and went out together, because he knew that his father would accompany Mr. Fan Erlin to go through the stock transfer procedures today. As expected, the Jing'an Exchange was full of onlookers and college students, and there were countless media reporters. Zhao Haiying, Xie Tianyang, Wu Yibai and others were also crowded in the crowd, tiptoeing and looking around.

In the exchange, with the help of a translator, Fan Erlin carefully filled out the transfer form and wrote his name in the name column of the form. The window staff carefully checked and handed over the new shares to Fan Erlin. When Fan Erlin got the stock, his eyebrows fluttered, and he said excitedly: "This is my first Chinese stock, and it feels really great now." ”

At this time, Zhao Guoping and two staff members of the reception office walked in. Zhao Guoping shook hands with Fan Erlin and asked whether the transfer procedures went smoothly. Fan Erlin said: "It went very well, I didn't line up, is it your special arrangement?" Zhao Guoping denied with a smile: "Now Jing'an only acts as an agent for two stocks, and the business volume should be proportional to the queue." Fan Erlin said solemnly: "Stocks are like a commodity market, the more people who sell goods, the more people will buy goods." As he spoke, he raised the stock in his hand: "I am looking forward to it, and I believe that the stock in my hand will rise sharply, this is the most precious gift I received in China this time!" Your arrangements are very thoughtful, our representatives went to visit your universities and enterprises, and they all found it very meaningful, thank you. Zhao Guoping sincerely looked into Mr. Fan Erlin's eyes and said: "Very welcome, we have a saying called 'the stone of other mountains can attack jade', and we very much hope to have more such exchange opportunities." Listening to the staff's translation, Mr. Fan Erlin nodded and smiled, and raised the stock in his hand. And the photojournalist who had been waiting for a long time "crackled" scrambled to press the shutter, seized this classic moment, and fixed this historical moment in the photo.

Seeing off Fan Erlin and his entourage, Zhao Guoping hurried to the Municipal Planning Commission and was busy handling some affairs. As soon as I walked to the door of the office building, I bumped into a person head-on, and the manuscript paper in the other party's hand was knocked to the ground. Zhao Guoping immediately squatted down and helped pick up the manuscript paper on the ground and handed it back, but the other party was not busy picking it up, but stared at him. "Is that you?" The other party said. Zhao Guoping saw the other party clearly at this time, it turned out to be Chen Jianhua and Chen Gong.

Before Zhao Guoping could say hello, Chen Jianhua was emotionally blocked in front of him and shouted: "Director Zhao, I still have to talk to you about this matter today." I just want to ask you, why can't the Yangpu Bridge project be approved? If you don't give a reason today, I won't leave. Zhao Guoping was very surprised and explained: "Engineer Chen, I am not Director Zhao anymore, I have been transferred and no longer work here." I'm here today to do some errands. ”

Helpless, Chen Jianhua just didn't listen, not to say that the original planning document for this project was arranged by Mr. Zhuo himself, and Zhao Guoping didn't approve it when he asked him five times before, and now he Zhao Guoping patted his ass and transferred away, but the project still didn't approve. Don't you see that Chen Jianhua is an intellectual, so he is easy to bully?

Zhao Guoping had no choice but to sigh in his heart: This Chen Jianhua is thinking about one thing - to repair the Yangpu Bridge and connect Pudong and Puxi. What to say, "The designer of the Yangpu Bridge project is our chief engineer, Mr. Lin Yuanpei, who took everyone to make accurate calculations"; "It is not only the value of a bridge, once completed, it crosses the Huangpu River, which is not only an important transportation line, but also an economic belt connecting Pudong and Puxi, which is of great significance". However, there are too many places to spend money on construction and development in Shanghai, and the Yangpu Bridge is not an imminent project to be developed. What's more, isn't your Comrade Chen just a bridge expert and a construction expert, how can you still become an economic expert? !

Although Zhao Guoping thought so in his heart, he still had to appease the other party's emotions first: "Chen Gong, you really misunderstood." For each project, the Planning Department is to collect data, analyze data, discuss and study decisions collectively, and always do the right thing, not the right person. ”

When Chen Jianhua heard this, he snorted disapprerovingly: "Your planning department has been delaying such a project again and again, and then simply refusing to approve it." How do you make us understand? Zhao Guoping saw that he was soft and didn't eat, so he had to communicate with him from the numerical aspect that engineering people are good at: "Lao Chen, your emotions are too extreme." I know you put a lot of effort into designing and building this bridge, but if I'm not mistaken, the total cost of building this bridge should be 1.4 billion. My comrade, what is this concept? It's astronomical. I can tell you that Shanghai's finances simply can't afford to develop such a huge project. ”

However, to Zhao Guoping's surprise, the intellectual Chen Jianhua was very disdainful of these arguments, and even refuted him with words: "The key projects are all supported by the state, and you can't come up with so much money in Shanghai, so the central government can allocate funds." Not having enough money is not a reason at all. ”

Now it's Zhao Guoping's turn to be anxious, and he feels that he can't make sense with this nerd, it's really a fire bubbling up: "Why is money not a reason?" That's the biggest reason. There is no cross-river project north of Suzhou Creek, and such a huge project costs a lot of money, so of course the planning department must be cautious. Even if the central government allocates funds, it will be a great waste if such a bridge cannot produce immediate benefits. ”

After saying that, I saw Chen Jianhua pouting his mouth disdainfully, and then brought out his argument that "Shanghainese people are stingy". Hearing him say this, Zhao Guoping smiled dumbly, but still tried to explain: "We are not discussing the values of Shanghainese, but an astronomical project." It is related to the construction and development of Shanghai. He also persuaded Chen Jianhua to calm down and give the city some time, and the construction of the bridge is still very likely to be realized in the future.

Such a painstaking persuasion, in the end, only Chen Jianhua was exchanged: "Forget it, I can't talk to you anymore, and I don't speculate." Looking at the back of Chen Jianhua striding away, Zhao Guoping chuckled and shook his head, turned around and walked into the Municipal Planning Commission.

Chen Jianhua, who had a gray nose in the Municipal Planning Commission and had a verbal argument with Zhao Guoping, was not in a good mood all day, but he still had to put away his heart and work steadfastly. Even if it was time to get off work, his stomach full of unhappiness and unhappiness had already suffocated to the limit. Chen Jianhua walked all the way home in a huff, pushed open the door again, and saw Du Li sweeping the floor in the living room. It didn't matter at this glance, his anger increased again: "This Chen Menglei, don't let Du Li be so sensible, and be polite to others!" Hmph, I Chen Jianhua don't believe it, can't I be the master of building a bridge, and can't I be the master of my daughter's marriage? ! ”

So he asked Du Li: "Has Chen Menglei come back?" Du Li replied that Meng Lei was in the room. Chen Jianhua raised his voice: "Menglei, come out and come out, I have something to tell you." ”

Chen Menglei opened the door and looked at her father's face, knowing that he didn't know where he was angry today, and he was going to suffer again. And this Du Li, why is he so eyeless, and he still stays here and doesn't leave! So she yelled at Du Li: "You better go first, my dad is not in the mood to cook tonight." ”

Chen Jianhua glared at his daughter fiercely and said, "Don't interrupt, you all sit down and listen to me." I solemnly announce today that I will be transferred back to Beijing. Chen Menglei, listen to me, as soon as you graduate, we will go back to Beijing. ”

Chen Menglei stood up suddenly: "Dad, what stimulated you from work?" Chen Jianhua said indignantly: "I'm just stimulated, I don't want to be angry anymore." I have to go back to Beijing, and if I stay like this, I will have to be angry to death. Du Li, how is Lei Lei's return to Beijing to work? ”

Du Li had been waiting to talk about this for a long time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said as if showing off: "My dad said that they have all been contacted!" Lei Lei is the Beijing Bureau of Commerce I mentioned to you last time, the accounting position. The major is also the right one, or a state-owned enterprise, and many people want to enter. The interview next week, as long as you go to the interview and pass, you can be hired. ”

Chen Menglei was anxious when she heard this: "When did I say that I want to go back to Beijing to work?" I obey the school assignment, but it has to be in Shanghai. Du Li knew that Chen Menglei's heart knot was Zhao Haiying, and if she didn't give up on Zhao Haiying, she would not agree to work in Beijing. So he moved out the "trump card" news he inquired about, saying that Zhao Haiying was going abroad. As a result, Chen Menglei didn't take it seriously at all, but said that she would go wherever Zhao Haiying went. At this time, Du Li had no idea, and looked at Chen Jianhua with a look of help.

Chen Jianhua's anger finally couldn't be held back and broke out. He slammed the table and roared, "Nonsense! This sudden burst was still very effective, and Chen Menglei swallowed the words that were close to her mouth into her stomach. Chen Jianhua took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Chen Menglei, I, who is a father, almost don't know you." You've grown up, your wings have hardened, and you have an idea, right? You don't listen to my words, and you forget the lessons I have learned? I don't want to mention the past, but the separation of these two places is unlikely to have a good result. You have to go back to Beijing, there is absolutely no possibility for you and that Zhao Haiying, cut me off immediately! ”

Du Li, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, felt that Chen Menglei's "arrogance" had been almost suppressed by her father, so he quickly took out the train ticket he had bought for the next day and handed it to Chen Menglei. Chen Menglei glanced at the train ticket, still making a final resistance, muttering, "I'm not going." Chen Jianhua took the train ticket and slapped it vigorously on his daughter's hand: "You have to go!" You are my daughter, I have already decided, and I will hand in my application to transfer back to Beijing to work in a while. So in this interview, you must perform well and don't let down your Uncle Du's hard work! ”

Holding the train ticket that was shoehorned into her hand by her father, Chen Menglei turned around and went back to the bedroom. But Chen Menglei was destined to have trouble sleeping that night. She looked at the ticket in a daze, feeling pain and helplessness in her heart: "Sea Eagle, where are you?" What should I do? How do I get out of my dad's control? How can I stay with you forever? ”

And just when Chen Menglei was in pain and couldn't sleep, Zhao Haiying, who had been excited because of Fan Erlin's visit to Shanghai for the past two days, was playing basketball with his classmates at night. In the fierce competition on the basketball court, Zhao Haiying did not forget to declare his lofty ideal of going abroad to study: "Going abroad is like this game, there is still suspense about winning or losing, but escorting is like the ball in my hand, I am sure that I can score goals." And I, love a challenge! I must go to the United States. At this year's World Championships in Spain, we lost basketball to the United States again, and that's the difference. ”

At this moment, Zhao Haiying, who was in high spirits on the court, would not have thought that his beloved Chen Menglei was in deep pain; He could not have predicted that Chen Menglei would really get on the train to Beijing the next day.
