Built in 1934, the Shanghai International Hotel has a construction area of about 16,000 square meters, and the entire hotel has 24 floors, which is much higher than the surrounding buildings. Known as the "First Building of the Far East", it is the most luxurious and iconic hotel in Shanghai and a symbol of Shanghai.

After getting the license in the United States, Childe always wanted to hold a Chinese wedding for Chen Menglei, but because Chen Menglei was not in good health and was too busy with work, he always couldn't find the opportunity. This time, just in time to return to China, he wanted to fulfill this wish, which could be regarded as a wedding gift to Chen Menglei.

At the wedding scene, there were many guests, most of the guests were either rich or expensive, except for Chen Menglei's classmates, most of them were Child's business partners. The wedding scene, which was originally jubilant and lively, seems to have become a meeting place for business elites. Many people took the opportunity to distribute business cards everywhere, hoping to make friends with powerful people.

Chen Menglei, who was in the lounge, was wearing a red cheongsam, which was particularly beautiful. The makeup artist touches up her makeup and puts the finishing touches on the wedding begins. At this time, my good friend Zhou Mei walked in with a pout, looking angry.

Chen Menglei asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Mei was absent-minded, she didn't hear Chen Menglei's words at all, her eyes kept looking towards the hall. This aroused Chen Menglei's curiosity, she followed Zhou Mei's gaze, and happened to see Xie Tianyang talking to the beauties with a glass of wine. With his rhetoric and good looks, he attracted a lot of attention, and made the girls laugh with some boastful talk.

Zhou Mei kept staring at Xie Tianyang, muttering with vinegar: "It's just some third-rate models, not beauties, what's there!" ”

When Chen Menglei heard this, she probably understood Zhou Mei's thoughts: "You won't be in love with Xie Tianyang, right?" ”

Zhou Mei didn't answer directly, but this time Xie Tianyang came back, which really impressed her. When she was studying, she didn't have a good impression of Xie Tianyang at all, but this reunion had already made her heart move. However, Xie Tianyang attracted many young girls at the same time, which made Zhou Mei's heart sour.

The wedding is about to begin, and Child, dressed in a Tang suit, is already ready, with a red face, waiting for his bride. He has been waiting for four years for this moment, and he wants the world to know that his wife is Chen Menglei. Accompanied by melodious music, Chen Menglei walked towards everyone in a red cheongsam, and she was even more glamorous and moving in a cheongsam, which attracted a burst of admiration from the guests.

This scene was seen by Zhao Haiying, who had just walked to the door, and he stood at the door and did not come in for a long time. He had fantasized countless times about Chen Menglei becoming a bride, but he never thought that the groom was not him. Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, a woman crashed directly into his arms, only to hear a scream of "ah", which was loud enough to overpower the music of the wedding scene. This discordant note suddenly disrupted the rhythm of the wedding, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes locked on Zhao Haiying's body.

"It hurts......" The strange woman sat down on the ground, rubbing her ankles in pain.

Zhao Haiying stood in front of the woman, a little overwhelmed, and stretched out his hand to pull her up: "Are you okay?" ”

I never thought that the woman didn't appreciate it, but shouted loudly: "You don't have long eyes, I'm already like this, can I be okay?" After speaking, she made a move that made all the guests jaw-dropping, she took off a broken high heel, got up from the ground and yelled at Zhao Haiying: "This gentleman, are you not good at looking?" You just bumped into me, why don't you apologize? ”

Zhao Haiying hurriedly explained: "I want to apologize to you, but I haven't had time yet." ”

The woman was obviously very dissatisfied with this explanation, hugged her arms and looked arrogant, and asked Zhao Haiying to apologize immediately. The entire banquet hall was attracted by this woman's shouting, and everyone thought that it was arranged by Zhao Haiying in order to disrupt the situation. Many people have begun to whisper and discuss, putting on a look of waiting to see a good show.

Zhao Haiying couldn't get off the stage in front of everyone, so he endured his anger and apologized: "I'm sorry Miss, it was true that I was walking too hurriedly just now, and I didn't see you come out." But I see that you are quite agile when you get up, so you shouldn't have crashed it, right? ”

These words annoyed the woman even more, she directly raised the shoe high, and the sole of the shoe almost stuck to Zhao Haiying's face, with a posture of wanting to eat him: "Why didn't it break?" You see my high heels were all broken by you, this is my new high heels, and you broke one after wearing it for less than a day. After saying that, she still felt puzzled, and added: "You still keep defending yourself, sir, what about your gentlemanly demeanor?" The last few words were noticeably elevated.

"I'm sorry, I'm really not a gentleman, how much is your high heels, I'll pay you." Zhao Haiying just wants to calm down this turmoil as soon as possible.

As she was talking, Zhou Mei walked over, looked at Zhao Haiying, and then at the woman on the side, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Before Zhao Haiying could speak, the woman was the wicked person who sued first: "Is he your guest?" He broke my shoes and refused to pay for them. ”

Zhao Haiying felt inexplicable, this woman was obviously messing around, not being reasonable at all, he was too lazy to say: "How much is this pair of shoes, I will pay you." As he spoke, he took out his wallet and took out a stack of money and handed it to the girl: "Are these enough?" ”

The woman didn't even look at it and said that it wasn't enough, Zhao Haiying took out a stack of money and added it to the money just now, and asked, "Is it enough?" "Women are the same as before, they don't look at it at all, they can't say enough. At this time, Zhao Haiying can see that this woman just can't get along with herself. In a fit of anger, he took out all the money in his wallet and stuffed it all into the woman's hand: "Is this enough?" ”

Unexpectedly, the woman looked at the wad of money in her hand, let out a sneer arrogantly, and then stuffed all Zhao Haiying's money back into his wallet, and said: "Sir, I don't think you know this brand, my shoes are limited editions of international brands, even if you add up all the clothes of your body, you can't buy a decoration on it." ”

Zhao Haiying's face was red, but he couldn't be angry with a woman. His fists have been clenched tightly, if it was a man in front of him, he would have dealt with it with his fists and feet, it just so happens that there is no place to vent the fire in his stomach these days, but the other party is a woman, how can he Zhao Haiying do it with a woman? Therefore, all grievances and anger can only be swallowed in the stomach.

At this time, Chen Menglei walked over, directly between Zhao Haiying and the woman, and said to the woman in a polite but somewhat strong tone: "This young lady, I'm sorry, I apologize to you for him, he is my guest, today is my wedding, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen at the wedding." As for your shoes, it just so happened that I had an identical pair that I didn't wear once, and if you don't mind, I'm willing to compensate you. ”

The bride went out in person, and it was not easy for this woman to say anything, and besides, she didn't plan to let Zhao Haiying compensate, but she deliberately made it difficult because of his poor attitude. She looked at Chen Menglei and said with a smile: "Since you are married, forget it, I will not hold you responsible." With that, the woman took off her other shoe, took it in her hand, dropped the phrase "I wish you a happy wedding", and left barefoot.

Watching the woman leave, Chen Menglei turned her gaze to Zhao Haiying: "I know that it may not be acceptable to you to let you attend my wedding with Child, but our matter has passed, I hope you came today to sincerely bless me, not for other purposes." ”

Zhao Haiying couldn't argue, he didn't expect that he was the kind of person who designed emotional revenge and stalked her in Chen Menglei's heart. At this moment, he was relieved: "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't come, whether you believe it or not, I just want to say 'happy newlyweds' to you today, I hope you grow old together and live a happy life." After speaking, Zhao Haiying turned around and left. Only Chen Menglei with a lonely face was left in the wedding banquet hall, and countless whispering guests behind her.

Zhao Haiying, who left the wedding scene, held his breath, and at this wedding, he actually let others see the joke. As soon as I walked out of the gate of the hotel, a voice sounded behind me: "I don't know your name yet?" What's your name? It was none other than the woman who had just run away barefoot.

Zhao Haiying turned around and saw the woman chasing after her bare feet and carrying high heels. He couldn't bear it anymore and stopped and asked, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

The woman was still justified: "You broke my high heels, how can I go to a friend's birthday party like this." The woman picked up her high heels and showed them to Zhao Haiying, with a pair of big eyes blinking, looking pitiful.

Zhao Haiying was speechless, feeling that he should be the one who was sympathized. When he came to attend Chen Menglei's wedding, he originally planned to sit quietly in the corner, waiting for the opportunity to say "happy newlywed" to Chen Menglei. It's good now, Chen Menglei mistakenly thought that he was taking revenge, Zhao Haiying, who was holding back the fire in his belly, completely broke out at this moment, he directly snatched the intact high heel in the woman's hand and broke the heel alive.

Unexpectedly, the woman was not angry, but laughed, put both shoes on her feet, and took two steps, looking quite comfortable, Zhao Haiying couldn't cry or laugh. She looked at Zhao Haiying with a smile and seemed to be very satisfied: "You are very smart." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and introduced: "By the way, my name is Xu Shanshan, and we don't know each other today." Why don't you make a friend, what's your name? ”

Zhao Haiying felt that this woman was simply sick in the brain, so he didn't want to pay attention to her at all, so he turned around and left. At this time, Zhao Haiying would not have thought that his life would change dramatically because of this woman.

On June 2, 1990, Pudong ushered in its second spring, with the approval of the State Council, agreed to the "Instructions on the Development and Opening of Pudong" submitted by the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, approved ten policy measures and set aside a certain area as a bonded zone. At this point, the development of Pudong has entered the stage of substantial start-up.

The boom in the economy has led to a boom in the stock market, and the yield on second-hand Treasury bills has fallen, and many citizens have switched from investing in Treasury bills to investing in stocks. The popularity of stocks made the Jing'an Securities business department very lively, and the crowd flocked to it, and many people came to line up before dawn, frantically competing for various stocks.

The hearts of the business personnel are naturally happy, but Xie Dong is the only one who looks embarrassed, watching people frantically buy stocks, he shows worry: "I am happy now, but I am worried that this speculation will continue, and the stock price will rise wildly, so it is worth worrying." ”

Xie Dong's words made Zhao Haiying a little puzzled: "In the past, the stocks of our business department were bought more and sold less, and there was a lot of inventory. Now that the stock market is hot, we can play a role in stabilizing the market price through this part of the stock inventory, and we can also withdraw some funds. He didn't understand what Xie Dong was worried about.

Xie Dong's brows furrowed slightly, worried: "Since last year, the whole country has begun to oppose bourgeois liberalization, and not long ago, some newspapers published articles that included the stock market in the category of bourgeois liberalization. ”

Zhao Haiying also read the article mentioned by Xie Dong, and the content directly pointed to the stock market, saying that the stock market is bourgeois liberalization. This statement is extremely detrimental to the development of the stock market.

Zhao Haiying did not agree with the views of the article, he believed that the market economy and the reform of the enterprise shareholding system are new things for people in China, and the phenomenon of financial capital investment makes those who are accustomed to living under the "planned economy" feel uncomfortable, so they must stand up and oppose it. But it would be too arbitrary to beat everything new to death with a stick like they did, and to treat stocks as a flood of beasts.

"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if." Xie Dong expressed deep concern, "We don't dare to be too showy at this time, in case someone else labels bourgeois liberalization and pokes something out, no one can afford the consequences." After speaking, Xie Dong sighed helplessly. Zhao Haiying listened to Xie Dong's words, looked at his worried appearance, and suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

Zhao Haiying believes that most people do not understand the concept of financial capital investment, let alone how to operate it. Especially in the concept of the older generation, they are accustomed to pulling out a little money from between their teeth and storing it in the bank, taking a little interest, and they don't know how to invest capital at all, and they don't know anything about stocks. As a finance student, he feels it is his responsibility and obligation to educate the public about stocks, and the best way to do this is through the media.

He told Wu Yibai about his bold idea, and Wu Yibai thought for a moment: "Your proposal is good, but the recent controversy over 'surname society and surname capital' is so big, many people are talking about 'I would rather have the grass of socialism than the seedlings of capitalism', even if we write such an article, we may not be able to publish it." I have to ask my master Ma Yue about this matter first. After speaking, Wu Yibai paused and lowered his voice: "And the article that included the stock market in the bourgeois liberalization for criticism last time, do you know who wrote it?" ”

This person Wu Yibai and Zhao Haiying both know each other, and they are very familiar with their teacher - Professor Xu Jingzhi.

"We are all students of Professor Xu, and if we write this article, we will openly oppose the teacher's views, and you should think about the consequences of this matter." Wu Yibai reminded.

At this time, Professor Xu Jingzhi was reading a newspaper in his office, and there was a news about the stock fever in the newspaper "Shanghai stocks soared like "speculators in other cities" are swarming", and reported the situation in the Jing'an Securities Business Department, which wrote: "On the 24th of this month, two new records in the Shanghai stock market attracted people's attention. First, the stock trading volume on that day reached 850,000 yuan, 8,307 shares, which was one-tenth of the stock turnover in the first half of last year; Second, because demand exceeds supply, stock trading is the first time to adopt the auction method. ”

After seeing the report, Xu Jingzhi directly slapped the newspaper on the table, extremely angry. In his view, these articles are simply absurd and evidence of the prevalence of capitalist liberalization. He picked up the phone and dialed the editor-in-chief of the financial newspaper.

The next day, Xu Jingzhi took the article he had written and personally sent it to the office of the editor-in-chief of the Financial Newspaper, who served tea and handed water, and was simply flattered: "Professor Xu is an authority in the economic circles, and he is willing to publish an article in our newspaper, which has already given us a lot of face. "Professor Xu is an authority in the field of economics, and everyone who studies economics knows about it, and only half of the famous entrepreneurs and economists in Shanghai are Xu Jingzhi's students. In addition, Xu Jingzhi is the main spokesman at major economic resolution meetings in Shanghai, and many newspapers are vying for Xu Jingzhi to be interviewed, but many of them don't pay attention to him at all, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to come to the door this time.

Xu Jingzhi didn't care about these flattering words at all, he was more concerned about his article, he said with a serious expression: "I wrote this article overnight, I attach great importance to it, I hope you can publish it as soon as possible." ”

The editor-in-chief promised to get the article in the newspaper as soon as possible, as if he had received an order.

Almost at the same time, Wu Yibai actually said that the leader Ma Yue was moved, and he agreed with Wu Yibai and Zhao Haiying's suggestion to publish the article. Zhao Haiying was even more excited, and during Wu Yibai's visit to the newspaper, he even thought of the title of the article, which was called "Let Stocks Become the "Leader" of Reform and Opening-up".

Two articles with completely different views were published on the same day in two different newspapers at the same time. When Xu Jingzhi saw it, he was furious and slapped the table angrily. He directly called Ma Yue, asked Wu Yibai by name, and asked Wu Yibai to tell Zhao Haiying that the two of them would come to the house for dinner at night.

This is a clear Hongmen feast. Since he was in school, Wu Yibai has been afraid of Xu Jingzhi, he knows his teacher too well, he does research and lectures very well, but there is one thing that people dare not agree with, too stubborn, as long as he thinks it is the right thing, and absolutely does not allow any objections, he is the authority. This is a good thing, he never imagined that the article he posted would conflict with Professor Xu's. This time, Xu Jingzhi nominally asked him and Zhao Haiying to go to the house for dinner and catch up, but in fact, he must have criticized them, this is to hit the muzzle of the gun! Thinking of this, Wu Yibai suddenly felt a chill behind him. Before going out, Wu Yibai told Zhao Haiying that when he arrived at Professor Xu's house for a while, he should not take the initiative to mention the stock matter.

The two knocked on the door of Professor Xu's house anxiously, the teacher and student had not seen each other for a long time, Xu Jingzhi, Zhao Haiying, and Wu Yibai chatted about a lot of past events while eating.

Xu Jingzhi looked at Zhao Haiying: "Haiying, you didn't bother me a lot when you used to study." Do you remember? Once you were late for class, and I asked you to stand on a penalty, and you made up some kind of cold and flu excuse to perfunctory me. ”

"Yes, of course I do." Zhao Haiying recalled the "painful" experience he had, "If I had changed to another teacher, I would have heard that I was sick, and even if I knew that I was pretending to be sick, there was nothing I could do." But Professor Xu didn't play his cards according to common sense, and as soon as he heard that I was sick, he immediately said, "Cold?" It takes sweating to get better quickly. In this way, you go and get a mop and mop our office again, so that if you sweat, you will be cured, and you will be cured, which is better than taking medicine in Turin. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yibai still remembers it vividly: "Zhao Haiying was dumbfounded at that time, and in the end, he stupidly took the mop and mopped the floor." Because of this incident, everyone said that although Zhao Haiying was one foot taller, Professor Xu was one foot taller. No matter how good we are, we can't escape the teacher's five fingers. ”

Recalling the past, the three teachers and students laughed happily. The teachers are loving, the students are respectful, and there is a harmonious picture.

However, the style of painting changed suddenly, and Xu Jingzhi said with emotion: "Where do you children understand the teacher's good intentions? We are fighting wits and courage with students every day, and if students are not well-behaved, we must take care of them. It's really difficult to manage and educate to be useful and accepted by students. ”

Zhao Haiying heard the meaning of Xu Jingzhi's words, and took the initiative to pick up the wine glass: "Teacher, it was wrong to be a student before, I apologize to you." ”

However, Xu Jingzhi didn't pick up the wine glass, but said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry to apologize first, or explain the reason clearly." As he spoke, Xu Jingzhi took out the newspaper that published Zhao Haiying and Wu Yibai's article, "Which one of you will tell me, what does this article mean?" ”

At this moment, Wu Yibai's face instantly turned blue, and it seemed that this topic still couldn't be bypassed. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Haiying rushed to the front and said: "Teacher, this article was written by us after many interviews and field investigations. ”

Xu Jingzhi's face sank, and he looked not very happy: "You mean that my article has not been investigated on the spot, is it nonsense?" He pointed at Zhao Haiying and Wu Yibai and shouted, "I see that you are very bold, and you are not at all like the students I taught to publicly publish such articles with wrong positions and misleading the public in newspapers." After speaking, Xu Jingzhi calmed down a little, and said to the two of them as if he had given an order: "I will now order the two of you to immediately republish the article in the newspaper and apologize for your previous wrong position." ”

At this time, Zhao Haiying quit, he thought that what he said was true, why should he apologize. Besides, if Professor Xu Jingzhi thinks that what they say is wrong, he can refute them, but he cannot force them to accept his own ideas. Zhao Haiying admits that the current Chinese stock market is indeed immature, but this cannot be a reason to oppose it. He asked in a questioning tone: "Why do you have to discuss the surname capital or the surname society when it comes to the stock market?" I just don't understand. Why should we turn away a thing that is good for the country and for the people? ”

Xu Jingzhi was furious: "Zhao Haiying, you have to pay attention to proportions when you speak, are you a teacher or am I a teacher?" I see you're getting more and more arrogant now, are you going to give me a political lesson? "Teaching for decades, no student has ever dared to talk to him like this, he is so arrogant in front of him, and he doesn't know what crazy he has become, "Don't think that you have been a stockbroker for a few years and you are an expert in the stock market, I tell you, you are still far behind, and you are not qualified to debate with me." ”

Hearing Xu Jingzhi say this, Zhao Haiying was also very unconvinced: "The teacher is an expert in the economic field, and I respect you, but some of your views on the stock market are indeed biased, and students can't agree with them." If the teacher has to force the students to admit their mistakes today, I can do this, but this is not my true thoughts from the heart, and I don't think I am wrong in my heart. Aren't teachers willing to let students say what they really think? ”

Wu Yibai was beside him, he was already sweating profusely, he had never seen Professor Xu so angry, and he had been persuading Zhao Haiying to say a few words on the side, but he couldn't listen to it at all. The last two people were directly kicked out of the house by Xu Jingzhi. After the two of them went downstairs, Xu Jingzhi still felt angry, he opened the window and shouted: "Zhao Haiying, Wu Yibai, from today onwards, neither of you will be my students!" This is the end of our teacher-student relationship! ”

Looking at Xu Jingzhi's angry appearance, Wu Yibai felt quite uncomfortable. He didn't expect that the article he and Zhao Haiying wrote would have such a big impact, because of the opposition article published by Professor Xu, and now their newspaper has been criticized by many people in society, and even the editor-in-chief is under great pressure. If it weren't for his master Ma Yue to speak for him, his job might not be saved.

Early the next morning, Wu Yibai received the task of interviewing Zhao Guoping, he didn't expect that Zhao Guoping had also read those two articles, and he was very supportive of the ideas of the two of them. Zhao Guoping believes that times are different, and although Professor Xu is an authority in the economic world, his understanding of the stock market is too conservative. The shareholding reform of China's enterprises has been carried out nationwide, and the early stock trading has been carried out in the Jing'an Securities Business Department, which is in full swing. More than 400 trading institutions in more than 100 cities across the country have started treasury bill transfer business, and all the data show one thing: The process of reform and opening up has made the establishment of stock exchanges an inevitable trend.

At the end of the interview, Zhao Guoping told Wu Yibai that he encouraged and supported the establishment of an open, fair and just stock trading market, and that the Shanghai Stock Exchange had been included in the Pudong development plan and had been approved by the central government.

Zhao Guoping's words undoubtedly made Wu Yibai feel reborn, and it felt good to be supported. He transferred Zhao Guoping's words to Zhao Haiying as they were, and Zhao Haiying was very surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect his father to support him. Just thinking about it, he received a call from his mother Zhou Hui asking him to go home for dinner.

said that it was a meal, but in fact, his parents wanted to know about Zhao Haiying's recent situation.

Zhao Haiying returned home early, helping his mother wash vegetables and cooking. Zhou Hui was very busy. Zhao Guoping and several leading cadres discussed the traffic problem in Pudong and arrived home very late.

Before entering the door, I heard Zhao Haiying ask Zhou Hui to buy a house, and his excited voice came from the house: "Now Pudong has just been developed, the surrounding facilities have not yet risen, and the house price is very cheap, buying a house in Pudong at this time will definitely increase several times in the next 10 years." "Where is this for Zhou Hui to buy a house, it is obvious for Zhou Hui to speculate on a house. Zhao Guoping pushed open the door and asked, "You want to encourage your mother to speculate in the house?" ”

Zhao Haiying explained: "Now the whole Shanghai real estate speculation is a hot trend, everyone is rumoring that the housing prices in Shanghai will rise wildly in the future, and the purchase of real estate is the least risky of all investments." What's wrong with me asking my mom to take out the idle money to buy a house? This is also a way to prevent currency depreciation. ”

Zhao Haiying's point of view, Zhao Guoping can't agree, he thinks that the house is for living, not for speculation. Housing speculation pushes up housing prices, so that those residents who really have housing needs cannot afford to buy houses, a large number of housing resources are idle, and social resources are wasted, which is harming others and themselves.

Zhao Guoping's view represents the view of his generation, but Zhao Haiying gave his own reasons: "Housing has the dual attributes of residence and investment, investment is not the same as speculation, and you don't want to kill them all with a stick." He believes that flipping a house is also a reasonable investment.

Seeing that the two began to argue as soon as they met, Zhou Hui hurriedly broke the siege. A good dinner, the three of them were not interested in eating.

In October 1990, on a sunny autumn day, the leaves on the trees had turned yellow, and the fallen leaves gave Shanghai a new coat. More than 200 financiers, entrepreneurs, politicians and economic researchers from home and abroad gathered in Shanghai to hold an unprecedented high-level financial seminar to discuss the development strategy of Shanghai and China's financial industry, adding a touch of color to Shanghai during the harvest season.

After the meeting, Shanghai leaders hosted a banquet for the conference experts, and Cairde and Chen Menglei were also invited to attend. As the main representative of the American delegation, Childe naturally became the object of compliments. However, Chen Menglei beside him seemed a little absent-minded, because she didn't expect to see Zhao Haiying here.

The banquet was attended by all the big names in the financial industry, and it is said that a small salesman like Zhao Haiying is not qualified to participate in this kind of occasion at all, but who made his best friend Wu Yibai! Wu Yibai used almost all his connections, begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother everywhere, and finally helped Zhao Haiying get a banquet ticket, which was quite heavy.

Zhao Haiying's main purpose in coming to the banquet was to contact Xu Hanzhi, the boss of Guanghan Trust and Investment Company, but unfortunately it backfired, and he still passed by Xu Hanzhi. Fortunately, Wu Yibai was alert and stopped another important figure of Guanghan Trust and Investment Company - Su Mingkang.

Su Mingkang, the main person in charge of the business department of Guanghan Trust and Investment Company, and Xu Hanzhi's right-hand man, has a position under one person and above ten thousand people in the company. When Zhao Haiying met Su Mingkang, he was talking to others about the world foreign exchange market: "The foreign exchange market is in sharp turmoil, and the global stock market prices have generally plummeted. I have a friend who went to Japan a few years ago, and he talked to me on the phone yesterday, and the current environment in Japan is not good, and the stock price has plummeted. Zhao Haiying overheard Ma Yi's name and was shocked. This Ma Yi is an old friend of Zhao Haiying, to be precise, Zhao Haiying's old customer. Ma Yi was lucky enough to buy treasury bills for 4,000 yuan in 1985 and found the first pot of gold. Then he started to move to the stock market, and since he made his first money, he has been out of control. He is a beneficiary of the market, and at the same time, a beneficiary of reform and opening up. Ma Yi was a customer of Zhao Haiying before, and with Zhao Haiying's recommendation, he made a lot of money, and finally went to Japan for development.

After listening to Su Mingkang's words, Zhao Haiying couldn't help but answer: "Japan's financial crisis is not accidental, and the hidden dangers have been around for a long time. ”

His words attracted the attention of Su Mingkang and several others, and everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Haiying with doubts in their eyes.

Zhao Haiying successfully attracted everyone's attention, and he continued to analyze: After the Plaza Agreement, hot money poured in, and Japan, because the domestic market is not large, can not consume a huge output, in order to ensure exports, the implementation of loose monetary policy, the result is a flood of liquidity, speculation is prevalent, and the formation of a bubble in the housing market and stock market. The yen is not an international currency, and excess liquidity can only be consumed domestically. But since Yasu Mie No's appointment as BOJ governor, Japan's era of ultra-low interest rates has come to an end, and land speculation has cooled and land prices have fallen, so most stocks have begun to weaken. Since the beginning of this year, the United States has set specific demands on Japan, which have directly attacked the key points of the Japanese stock market, and suddenly a large number of stocks have flowed into the stock market, and the stock prices will inevitably plummet.

Zhao Haiying analyzed the current business environment very thoroughly, and several entrepreneurs in suits and leather shoes listened carefully, whispered, and guessed his identity.

Zhao Haiying took the initiative to walk in front of Su Mingkang, handed over his business card, and introduced himself: "Hello Director Su, I am Zhao Haiying from the Jing'an Business Department, I have heard the name of Guanghan Trust and Investment Company for a long time, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to contact your company. Su Mingkang took the business card easily. However, he only glanced at it, with disdain in his eyes, and he didn't mean to exchange his business card for Zhao Haiying.

"Director Su, Mr. Ma Yima was my client when he was in Shanghai before, and the cooperation between us has always been very pleasant." Zhao Haiying said seemingly unintentionally, at the moment, he could only temporarily use Ma Yi to get closer to Su Mingkang.

Ma Yi's name obviously played a role, Su Mingkang looked surprised, he didn't expect that the nobody in front of him actually knew Ma Yi. Zhao Haiying continued: "This world is so small, and the opportunity for people to interact with each other may have been predestined a long time ago. Director Su, good news for Pudong development, Jing'an index has risen sharply, are you interested in learning about a few stocks we represent? ”

Only then did Su Mingkang know Zhao Haiying's true intentions, and it turned out that he was here to promote stocks. Regarded as giving Ma Yi a face, he asked Zhao Haiying to go to his office a few days later to talk.

A few days later, Zhao Haiying received a call from Su Mingkang's secretary, Gu Ying, asking him to go to Guanghan Trust and Investment Company for an interview. Zhao Haiying was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, he got up before dawn, and took a good look at himself from top to bottom.

Coming to Guanghan Trust and Investment Company, Gu Ying took Zhao Haiying to Su Mingkang's office. Along the way, Zhao Haiying saw that every employee of the company was working nervously and efficiently, some were answering the phone, some were writing hard, and several employees were arguing about problems in the small conference room, and everyone seemed to be full of energy.

In the office, Su Mingkang was holding a copy of the latest "1989 Stock Annual Report" released by the Jing'an Exchange and reading it casually for a while, then threw it aside, and hit Zhao Haiying mercilessly: "I just read your stock annual report, I think it's too ordinary, and it can't arouse my investment interest at all." ”

Hearing Su Mingkang say this, Zhao Haiying hurriedly explained: "Now the pilot area of stock issuance is expanding, China's securities market is showing a trend of great development, stocks are now rising all the way, and the stock price index is almost straight up. ”

Su Mingkang was obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Haiying's answer. Zhao Haiying was not the first stockbroker to find him, and what he said was the same, and he was tired of hearing it for a long time. He said impatiently, "Can you make a special point?" ”

This is obviously a problem for Zhao Haiying, but this is not difficult for Zhao Haiying, he said very sincerely: "Director Su, the stock will never be too high, so high that you can't start buying; It's never too low, too low to start selling. If you want to make money in the stock market, the most important thing is the timing of buying and selling, if you let me become your company's stock agent......"

Before Zhao Haiying finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Mingkang, and it could be seen that he was obviously very disdainful of the young man in front of him, who didn't know the height of the sky, and asked rhetorically: "Let you become our stock agent, will you have the confidence to seize every opportunity to buy and sell?" He smiled contemptuously, "Zhao Haiying, I think you are too young, easy to be blindly confident in yourself, and the stock market has always been the place with the most rumors, if you hear any rumors, you have to buy and sell, then no matter how much money you have, it will not be enough to lose." In the end, he directly refused, "You better spend more time and accumulate experience." As young as you, I wouldn't dare to hand over the power of life and death to you. ”

These words were tantamount to beating Zhao Haiying to death with a stick, but he was still making the final effort, and he asked rhetorically: "Director Su, of course it's a good thing to have rich experience, but is all the experience right?" Seeing that Su Mingkang didn't speak, Zhao Haiying continued, "A famous trader on Wall Street once said, 'You make money quickly in the stock market, but you also lose money quickly, and most of the losses happen when you are complacent after making money'. Stock speculation is actually a test of people's thinking, and only when thinking correctly can you make money in the stock market. ”

Seeing that Su Mingkang still looked impatient, Zhao Haiying also knew that it was useless to say more. His eyes inadvertently saw a painting on Su Mingkang's head, and he had a plan, got up and left Su Mingkang's company. After a while, he didn't know where to find a hammer and rushed into the company again. Zhao Haiying's behavior frightened the front desk lady, and the entire company was in chaos in an instant, and no one dared to come forward to approach him.

Seeing Zhao Haiying rushing in with a hammer, Su Mingkang was shocked, and he didn't have the confidence to speak just now: "What do you want to do?" I warn you, don't mess around! ”

Zhao Haiying didn't pay attention to him at all, and approached step by step with a hammer. Su Mingkang's face turned pale with fright, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his head.

At this time, Zhao Haiying jumped on a chair, raised the hammer high, and smashed it at the decorative oil painting hanging above Su Mingkang's head. Dingding a few times, all the loose nails at the corners of the painting were firmly nailed, and then left angrily, before leaving, he turned his head to the stunned Su Mingkang and said: "Although you rejected me, I don't want you to be smashed in the next second and sent to the hospital." Su Mingkang couldn't hear what Zhao Haiying was talking about, and the whole person sat on the chair and couldn't speak for a long time.

All this is seen by one person, he is Xu Hanzhi, the boss of Guanghan Trust. He sent a client out of the door, accidentally passed by this office, and overheard a conversation between Zhao Haiying and Su Mingkang. Just seeing the scene just now, he couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Haiying walked out of Su Mingkang's office angrily, and was just about to leave when he was stopped by Xu Hanzhi. Zhao Haiying looked at Xu Hanzhi suspiciously, not knowing his identity.

At this time, Su Mingkang, who was relieved, also rushed out of the office in a hurry, and was about to ask the teacher for the crime, as soon as he saw Xu Hanzhi, he immediately lost his arrogance, and said respectfully: "Mr. Xu." ”

Zhao Haiying's eyes widened and exclaimed, "You are Xu Hanzhi?" The famous Xu Hanzhi?! Seeing Zhao Haiying's reaction, Xu Hanzhi smiled slightly: "It's me." Zhao Haiying, would you like to talk to me alone? ”

Under the leadership of Xu Hanzhi, Zhao Haiying walked into his office. Xu Hanzhi didn't drag his feet, and asked directly: "There has never been an employee in my company who dares to act so boldly, have you considered the consequences of doing so?" ”

Zhao Haiying also said truthfully: "Mr. Xu, I think you, as a shrewd businessman, should thank me for recovering a lot of losses for you just now." If that painting falls off the wall and a fake breaks, it's not a pity, but if it hits the head of your company director, it's a big deal. ”

At this time, Xu Hanzhi smiled, he was very curious how Zhao Haiying knew that it was a fake, so he asked rhetorically: "Do you know calligraphy and painting?" ”

"On the contrary, I don't know anything about calligraphy and painting." Zhao Haiying replied. Xu Hanyi looked at him with a puzzled face, and he explained with a smile: "But I think if it is a priceless genuine piece, it should not be hung in such a conspicuous position, and based on my observation of that Mr. Su, he is not a person with artistic taste." ”

Zhao Haiying's keen observation made Xu Hanzhi amazed, daring to say bad things about Su Mingkang in front of him, Zhao Haiying was the first, but he was also the first to dare to tell the truth, because Su Mingkang really had no taste. He smiled and said: "I can achieve the position of director here, just because one can help me make money." Young man, you are probably much shallower than his Taoism. ”

Zhao Haiying was not to be outdone: "I can also help Mr. Xu make money." ”

"Really? Are you referring to those stocks? Xu Hanzhi asked, "But like Mr. Su, I'm not interested in your stocks." ”

Zhao Haiying still did not give up, and he proposed a new concept to Xu Hanzhi: "It's not just a stock, but an investment philosophy." He paused, tried to calm himself, and said very seriously, "Mr. Xu, Shanghai is about to enter an era of crazy growth investment, and at least the next ten years will usher in the take-off of stocks." In order for Shanghai to follow the path of using domestic capital without increasing its domestic debts and utilizing foreign capital without increasing its foreign debts, it is necessary not only to absorb direct investment, but also to absorb domestic and foreign capital in the form of securities through further developing the securities market. Zhao Haiying's words successfully attracted Xu Hanzhi's attention, and he listened very carefully to his next analysis.

Zhao Haiying talked eloquently, he believes that the next decade will be a frenzy of development of technology stocks and electronics. Growing growth stocks, mainly those related to new technologies like electric vacuum, will first become the darlings of the stock market. He specifically mentioned Feilo Audio, that Feilo Audio and other seven stocks add up to the capital and trading volume, less than half of the electric vacuum, only half a year, the highest return of the electric vacuum has increased 25 times, this situation is very similar to the United States in the 60s of the 20th century, the price-earnings ratio of some stocks on Wall Street is as high as 80 times. In the end, he gave his own advice: "Mr. Xu, now is the best time to enter the stock market." ”

Xu Hanzhi pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said briskly: "From today on, you will be my Xu Hanzhi's stockbroker." Hearing this, Zhao Haiying was stunned and speechless with excitement.

"What, do you have any objections?" Xu Hanzhi joked, Zhao Haiying was already a little incoherent with excitement: "No, not at all." ”

Walking out of Guanghan Trust, Zhao Haiying's whole person seemed to have a dream. He is actually Xu Hanzhi's stockbroker, which is simply a miracle. It has always been rumored that Xu Hanzhi is shrewd and eccentric, and no stockbroker has ever been able to convince him, but Zhao Haiying has won Xu Hanzhi's trust by relying on his sincerity and hard work. He felt that his good fortune had come.

However, Zhao Haiying did not expect that the famous financial tycoon Xu Hanzhi turned out to be the younger brother of his teacher Xu Jingzhi. Xu Hanzhi and Xu Jingzhi are one word apart, but few people associate the two together.

In Xu Jingzhi's spare time, he occasionally came to Xu Hanzhi's villa and played chess with his younger brother. On this day, Xu Jingzhi took the red chess first, and the two chatted about trivial matters in life while playing chess. Xu Hanzhi recalled things when he was a child: "Every time I lost to you in chess when I was a child, I had to take out my pocket money to buy things for you, and because of this, my pocket money was not enough to spend every time. Once, I really couldn't come up with the money, so I stole my mother's money to buy vegetables, and my mother almost beat me to death when she found out. As for you, instead of interceding for me, you also watched my jokes, and I really didn't like you at all as a brother at that time. ”

Xu Jingzhi was not to be outdone: "Do I like you?" When your younger brother was a child, he always liked to follow my ass, and he also liked to make small reports, just because you said bad things about me, and I was beaten by my dad a lot. "The two of you say a word, I say a word, tell about family life. Xu Hanzhi thought about it, and suddenly made a move, which actually changed the situation of the whole chess game.

"How is that possible? You just now have no way out. Xu Jingzhi felt incredible. Xu Hanzhi was very proud, and picked up the teacup: "Big brother also missed, and finally let me win you once." ”

Xu Jingzhi was still struggling with the chess game, and regretted it: "Mistakes, pure mistakes, the last time I made a mistake was several years ago: once I played chess with a student, that student was a big ghost, in order to win me, diverted my attention and made me make a wrong move." No student has ever beaten me on the chessboard, and he was the first. Speaking of Zhao Haiying, Xu Jingzhi remembered the previous article and blurted out: "It's a pity that his cleverness was used in the wrong place, and he didn't even get a graduation certificate in the end, which is really regrettable." He himself is not angry, and now he has put his mind into the stock market, and he has openly called out with me, and published an article in the "Oriental Economic News" to oppose my views, which is like the students I taught. ”

"Are you talking about Zhao Haiying?" Xu Hanzhi asked in surprise.

Listening to his younger brother's tone, he seems to know Zhao Haiying. Xu Hanzhi explained with a smile: "I don't know about your other students, but if you publish an article in the newspaper to discuss the stock market, is there anyone else besides him?" A few days ago, he came to my company and offered to be my stockbroker. ”

Xu Hanzhi told his brother that he felt that Zhao Haiying was a bit like himself when he was young, although he was just a young intellectual, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province at that time, and his family background was not good, but he was unwilling to be regarded as a backward element, and he was advanced in rubber tapping every year.

"So now that you're a capitalist, you have to get ahead everywhere?" There was irony in Xu Jing's words.

Xu Hanzhi disagreed, laughed and said: "Big brother, don't forget, we were all born in capitalist families, isn't our grandfather a big capitalist in Shanghai?" ”

Xu Jingzhi said disappreciatively: "Grandpa is an industrialist, a factory, and a serious businessman, unlike you, who is engaged in financial investment, and is simply unscrupulous for the sake of profit." As Marx said, if 50% of the profit can be obtained, the capitalist can take a risk; If 100% of the profits can be obtained, the capitalists dare to trample on all the laws of the world; If 300% of the profits can be obtained, the capitalists dare to risk being killed. ”

Xu Hanzhi's face flushed, and he pondered for a moment and then smiled: "Big brother, you are still as preachy as before." You have been in China all these years and have never gone out, and some of your views are outdated and cannot be in line with international standards. I don't believe you ask Shanshan what kind of world is out there now. ”

"You don't use foreign tricks to fool people, the national conditions are different, and bourgeois liberalization will only lead us into misery."

Xu Hanzhi didn't agree with this point of view, but it was not easy to continue, so he changed the topic: "Playing chess, is it good to play chess?" Let's do it again. ”

Saying that, Xu Hanzhi began to pack up the chess pieces, but he didn't expect Xu Jingzhi to sigh: "This Zhao Haiying, I love and hate him, and hatred is not steel." Aside from the rest, this is a rare good seedling, if it is properly supported, it will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, and there will be something to do. ”

Xu Hanzhi and Xu Jingzhi are surprisingly consistent in this regard, although they have different views, they both like talented people. Xu Hanzhi was thinking in his heart......

Zhao Haiying recently encountered a headache, Xie Tianyang's father Xie Dong, who is also the teacher who brought him into the industry, is about to be transferred to the newly established Shanghai Investment Trust Company. Zhao Haiying was recruited by Xie Dong to the Jing'an Exchange, and Xie Dong appreciated Zhao Haiying's talent and deliberately wanted to poach him. Zhao Haiying was in a dilemma: when he was in the most difficult time, Jing'an took him in and let him regain his value, but in the face of Xie Dong's kindness, he couldn't refuse directly. In the end, he followed his heart's choice and stayed on the Jing'an Exchange.

He inadvertently told Wu Yibai about Xie Dong letting him change jobs, but he didn't expect Wu Yibai's reaction to be extremely strong: "You rejected Xie Dong like this? You're too brainless! As far as I know, Shanghai Investment Trust Company is much stronger than Jing'an, why don't you go? ”

Zhao Haiying disagreed, he said his reasons: "I have worked in Jing'an for more than four years, and I have learned a lot in these four years. My current career is going well, and I get along well with my colleagues, so there is no need to change jobs. ”

Hearing Zhao Haiying say this, Wu Yibai looked sorry, people go to high places, water flows to low places, why doesn't Zhao Haiying understand such a simple truth? How good are the development prospects of Shanghai Investment Trust Company, shouldn't all jobs be based on money? He didn't understand what Zhao Haiying was thinking. Besides, people are separated from each other, and the relationship between colleagues is not good or not, which cannot be seen in ordinary times. Speaking of this, Wu Yibai still remembers it vividly: "I have a deep understanding of this, the last time because of the stock market article, some colleagues went directly to the editor-in-chief to sue me, causing me to almost sit on the cold bench, if it wasn't for Lao Ma to protect me in front of the editor-in-chief, I would have no job." Since then I've learned how to survive in the office, you have to learn to wear a mask, you have to learn to smile, and the better you do your job, the easier it is to attract jealousy. Some people just praise you in front of you, but stab them behind your back. Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts. ”

After hearing these words, Zhao Haiying laughed, Wu Yibai, who has always been carefree, didn't expect to have such a dark side, he jokingly said: "Have you always been smiling at me, a good buddy, and hiding a knife behind the surface?" ”

At this time, Wu Yibai was anxious, and he looked like he couldn't wait to take out his heart and let Zhao Haiying take a look. However, what Zhao Haiying didn't expect was that within a few days, Wu Yibai's words really came true.

Zhao Haiying came to work at the Jing'an Exchange as usual, but the manager asked Zhao Haiying to go to the office with a gloomy face. Zhao Haiying came to the manager's office with a confused face, and as soon as he sat down, the manager said a lot of inexplicable words: "Zhao Haiying, I thought about it for a long time yesterday, after all, our Jing'an is just a small exchange, and it is really overkill to let you work here." ”

Zhao Haiying looked confused and felt inexplicable, and asked, "Is it because I didn't do my job well?" ”

"No, no, no, you're doing a great job." The manager replied, "It's because it's so good, of course an excellent talent like you is not willing to work in a small unit like us, you have to change jobs to pursue better development, I can understand, but you can't be sneaky, you can talk to me openly, I'm not an unreasonable person." ”

The second monk Zhao Haiying was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any misunderstanding?" ”

The manager was a little speechless for a while, he felt that Zhao Haiying was just pretending to be confused, so he directly said: "If you don't want to change jobs, then why do you ask Xie Dong to meet?" ”

Zhao Haiying tried to defend himself, but the manager didn't give him a chance to explain at all, Zhao Haiying was angry and directly asked the manager to dial Xie Dong's phone, but Zhao Haiying forgot how Xie Dong could tell the truth. In their line of work, they never set up enemies, if Xie Dong admits it, isn't it openly against Jing'an? Now, Zhao Haiying is dumb and eats coptis, he can't say his suffering, there is no evidence, what excuse does he have?

On the weekend, Zhou Hui had a rare rest, bought a lot of delicious things early in the morning and came to Zhao Haiying's rented house, as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a perennial smell of no ventilation, and what caught his eye was all kinds of leftover instant noodles, discarded newspapers, and various beer bottles. Zhao Haiying was lying on the bed sleeping, and when he heard the sound of Zhou Hui coming in, he didn't plan to get up.

Zhou Hui said with concern and a bit of complaint: "The sun outside is so good, even if you don't go to work, you can't hold it at home all the time, you should go out to bask in the sun and exercise, otherwise in addition to the unit is home, the body is in a sub-healthy state." Looking at her son's appearance, Zhou Hui had already guessed in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Haiying, tell your mother, is there a problem at work?" ”

Zhao Haiying sobered up most of the time, and immediately denied it: "No, I did a good job, didn't I tell you last time, my performance has always been the first in the exchange." ”

Zhou Hui knows her son very well, but she is hard-mouthed: "You listen to your mother's advice, stop competing with your father, go back with me today, admit your mistake to your father, and he will forgive you." As long as your dad helps you, with his connections and channels in this circle, he can arrange a decent job for you, how can it be easier than living in the exchange. ”

This sentence deeply stimulated Zhao Haiying, why didn't even his parents believe in him and didn't understand him? He retorted: "No matter how bad I am, I can earn food by going to the restaurant to serve dishes and wash dishes, and I don't need him to pity me." ”

After Zhou Hui left, looking at a table of sumptuous meals, Zhao Haiying suddenly lost his appetite. He found Child's signed book on the shelf, opened it, and looked at the pages of it, and the past of Child's autograph of his book came flooding back in his mind. Then, he took out a small half of a newspaper from the shelf, looked at the line on it: Guanghan Trust and Investment Company recruits staff, and fell into deep thought.
