Since Chen Menglei entered the Jing'an Exchange, she has been bent on making a career, but the cruel reality has made this "financial talent" a little powerless. At dusk, the afterglow of the slanting sun shone back in Shanghai, twilight gradually came, colleagues were gone, and only Chen Menglei was still counting her day's turnover with a sad face. In the face of the company's business backbone, her daily transaction completion can be described as "miserable".

At this time, Zhao Haiying brought food to Chen Menglei. After work, the two agreed not to make their relationship public for the time being, so they met after work.

Seeing Zhao Haiying, Chen Menglei's mood still did not improve, and she said dejectedly: "I have no appetite. ”

"Open it and take a look." Zhao Haiying looked mysterious.

Chen Menglei was curious, opened the lunch box and saw that it was bright ice cream, the gloom on Chen Menglei's face instantly dissipated, picked up the ice cream and took a bite, and said with satisfaction: "It's so sweet." But after eating, irritability came back to my heart.

In fact, Zhao Haiying found that Chen Menglei was in a bad mood after entering the house, but she didn't expect that even her favorite ice cream could not make her feel better. He asked the reason, and Chen Menglei said with a worried face: "I only traded 100 shares today, which is worse than yesterday, and Sister Wang has a trading volume of 1,000 shares a day today." Needless to say, this month's trading volume is definitely the lowest in the whole exchange. If you want to study abroad to check your performance, it will definitely not be my turn. ”

Zhao Haiying comforted: "Sister Wang used to be an employee of the Jing'an Office of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and she is the oldest qualified of us here, how long have you been here, with your qualifications, it won't take half a year, you will definitely be able to surpass her." In fact, for newcomers, Chen Menglei's performance is already good, but she just caught up with the opportunity to study abroad, and the opportunity will not wait for anyone. Although Chen Menglei was very calm when the manager announced the news, she was extremely eager for this opportunity. The most important indicator of this assessment is performance, thinking of this, and then looking at the performance table in her hand, Chen Menglei was full of sadness.

Zhao Haiying naturally knew Chen Menglei's thoughts, and also understood that this opportunity was really good. Not to mention newcomers like Chen Menglei, even the old employees who have worked in the exchange for decades are staring at this opportunity like hungry wolves, and the competitive pressure can be imagined. However, Chen Menglei, who has just entered the industry, wants to surpass other business backbones, which is really unrealistic.

Looking at Chen Menglei's sad appearance, an idea suddenly popped into Zhao Haiying's mind, and he said with a sense of comfort and some reminder: "British economist John Maynard Keynes said that choosing stocks is like choosing a beauty, and smart investors will not simply choose the beauty you recommend, but will guess and analyze the beauty pageant tendency and voting behavior. ”

Chen Menglei was in the mood to play dumb riddles with Zhao Haiying at this time, and looked at him with a confused expression, obviously not understanding too much. Zhao Haiying explained: "This theory is applied to the capital market, which means that smart investors will not simply buy stocks that they think will make money, but buy the ones that everyone generally thinks will make money. According to this theory, we should analyze the psychology of investors, rather than blindly recommending stocks according to our ideas, and consider the needs of investors. ”

Chen Menglei's eyes showed a long-lost excitement, and she said as if she had opened her mind: "That is to say, to dispel investors' concerns and let him see the potential of stocks." However, she turned a little lost, "I have to find the customer first before I have the opportunity to guide him, but where is my customer......"

Looking at the appearance of this talented girl from the School of Finance and Economics who was worried about her business, Zhao Haiying felt distressed and cute.

His thoughts are interrupted by an intruder, who is his former rival, Duley.

The Du Li suit and leather shoes in front of him are handsome and extraordinary, and his whole body exudes the atmosphere of a successful person. After graduating, he returned to Beijing and entered the Financial Market Department of the People's Bank of China, where he had an "iron rice bowl" that everyone envied. Before, Chen Menglei would rather cut off relations with her father than be with him, and had to be a pair of "hard-working mandarin ducks" with Zhao Haiying, which made Du Li feel a little uncomfortable. However, after graduation, as soon as I went to work, the previous caution and jealousy slowly disappeared, and the friendship between classmates became extremely precious.

No, as soon as he returned to Shanghai, he was going to find Zhao Haiying and a few people to come out for a gathering. He originally wanted to go to Zhao Haiying's house to find him, but as soon as he inquired, he knew that Zhao Haiying was on the Jing'an Exchange, so he came directly to the door.

Speaking of eating, Zhao Haiying felt that it was not interesting. Since Xie Tianyang went to the United States, the former "dream team" hasn't played a good game for a long time, and just when Du Li came back, Zhao Haiying proposed to play first and then eat.

Du Li readily agreed, and he hadn't stretched his muscles for a long time, and several people came to the basketball court of a nearby middle school. The basketball court is a little dilapidated, the basketball hoop is rusty, and the net is only a rope or two, in the dim light, making a dying struggle.

However, this did not affect the mood of several people playing basketball at all, and they specially changed into their former jerseys, with the words "Dream Team" written on them. The game hadn't started yet, and they were doing warm-up exercises off the field.

A whistle blew, the game began, Zhao Haiying and Zhang Xiang team, Wu Yibai and Du Li team, the game entered a white-hot situation at the beginning. Zhao Haiying took the ball directly, but was stared at by Du Li to death, he turned around and passed the ball to Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang took the ball and shot directly, the ball grazed from the frame and did not go in. Du Li jumped up directly, grabbed the rebound, controlled the ball, Zhao Haiying defended tightly, interrupted the ball from Du Li's hand, and then shot, a beautiful three-pointer.

"Beautiful!" Zhang Xiang shouted.

"There's progress." Du Li stood in front of Zhao Haiying, "I saw your father today, and he really spoke at a good level." This is the real reason why Du Li came to Zhao Haiying this time. At this time, Zhang Xiang passed the ball to Zhao Haiying, Zhao Haiying received the ball and controlled the ball, Du Li continued: "Today's meeting is really warm, the professor and your father are almost fighting." ”

Zhao Haiying knew that the professor Du Li was referring to must be Professor Xu Jingzhi, but he couldn't think of what kind of scene the quarrel between his beloved Professor Xu and his father was. As soon as he was distracted, Du Li directly grabbed the ball, shot, and the ball went in.

Seeing that Zhao Haiying was interested, Du Li added: "When discussing the issue of restructuring, each has its own opinion. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Haiying had already guessed the approximate idea: "It has been discussed for four years from 1984 to the present, and I still can't get out of the old issue of surname, society and surname." ”

"This is a very sensitive issue and a critical issue, and it is of course necessary to hold many meetings and discussions." Du Li said seriously, "It is because the shareholding reform has certain risks, so the stock circulation market is now limited to Shanghai and Shenzhen." ”

Hearing Du Li say this, Zhao Haiying was a little disgusted, and said unabashedly: "Du Li, the people under the roots of this imperial city are different, how can you learn to play an official tone now?" ”

"How is this officialdom? I'll be honest. Du Li was a little dissatisfied and retorted, "It is because the shareholding reform has certain risks, so the stock circulation market is now limited to Shanghai and Shenzhen." ”

Zhao Haiying has always believed that reform and reform is to change the old things and the old system, but this kind of pilot pace is difficult to meet the requirements of the shareholding system reform in various places. If the public issuance of shares is too well managed, economic development will still be constrained. In the face of Du Li's overly conservative attitude, Zhao Haiying did not budge: "Even if there is a risk, it is worth giving it a try." How is the development of the joint-stock reform factory now, everyone can see, does the conservative and conservative factory have a future for development? ”

In the face of Zhao Haiying's constant questioning, Du Li did not give in, he believes that if you want to hurry, you will not be able to achieve it, and the reform cannot be as simple as Zhao Haiying said, and all aspects must be taken into account, and the whole body will be affected by one trigger, and the People's Bank of China, as the competent authority for financial management, has been strictly controlling the quota for the public issuance of shares in the total plate of the national comprehensive credit plan, and then within this quota to determine the joint-stock pilot enterprises and carry out the pilot of public offering of shares, it is absolutely impossible to exceed the quota.

The two of them insisted on their own words, and they were about to start pinching each other, Wu Yibai, who was standing next to him, estimated that the ball would not be able to play, he sighed helplessly, threw away the basketball in his hand, and said: "Come on, don't play this ball, eat wontons." ”

……

Sun Mingfang's Yongchun grocery store, located in a small alley on Yangjing Street, has been around for decades and is a little old. Outside the store, there are five or six worn-out tables and chairs, with a heavy sense of vicissitudes, in Zhao Haiying's words: "This is the real 'time-honored brand'." ”

The Yongchun non-staple food store is full of goods, a small room, full of things, and customers are also endless. Although there are some big grocery stores nearby, the neighbors are used to coming here to buy something, and the owner and the west family chatter a few words before they feel satisfied. In particular, Sun Mingfang's wontons are famous in several nearby alleys, and you need to wait in a long queue during the day to buy them.

Du Li doesn't care about any "time-honored brand", he directly satirizes Zhao Haiying's stinginess, and his whole body exudes the unique shrewdness of Shanghai men. However, all thoughts disappeared after he took a bite of the small ravioli. After saying "so delicious" three times in a row, he ate the whole bowl of wontons in one go, and there was no soup left.

Seeing Du Li's colorless appearance, Zhao Haiying was happy, and said in a proud tone: "My grandmother's craftsmanship, if you add packaging to this wonton, it will be a brand-name product." ”

"That's a great idea! If the product is good, it is necessary to have good packaging to sell well. Du Li picked up the only little condiment residue left in the bowl with his chopsticks, and said meaningfully.

Zhang Xiang on the side added: "Then what do you mean, let Sun Ma change her career, and if this non-staple food shop is not open, she will make wontons?" If you think of a good name, it's called 'Sun Ma Wonton', a registered trademark. ”

A few people, you and I said it with enthusiasm, as if this plan was about to be executed. Chen Menglei, who has not spoken much, looked at this scene and smiled, their appearance made her feel as if she had returned to her college days: a group of young people full of ideals and ambitions, sitting in a small restaurant, talking about their dreams, imagining the future, nothing is impossible in their world.

Just when everyone was discussing hotly, Wu Yibai, who didn't make a sound from beginning to end, pulled everyone back to reality. He has been worrying about renting a house recently, the dormitory allocated by the unit is too crowded, and the conditions of their university dormitory are not as good, and he often has to stay up late at night to write manuscripts, which will always disturb others, which is really inconvenient.

"You still have dormitories, our factory doesn't even have dormitories, and I'm still making do with the factory warehouse." At the mention of real problems, Zhang Xiang also frowned.

Speaking of the house, Zhao Haiying has been worried about this recently, he wants to rent a house and move out of the dormitory of the unit, how to say that he is also a young man in his twenties, with a job and a salary, and it is not a long-term solution to always live in the dormitory. In addition, he didn't want to disclose his relationship with Chen Menglei for the time being, the unit was full of people, and they were like thieves every day, which made him very uncomfortable, and Chen Menglei was probably uncomfortable. But housing prices in Shanghai are already very expensive, and renting a house alone is already a bit unbearable for him. As soon as he heard that Zhang Xiang and Wu Yibai were also going to rent a house, Zhao Haiying suddenly had an idea: "Do you want the three of us to share a house together?" In this way, we can spread the cost evenly and reduce the cost. ”

"Great idea!" Wu Yibai's eyes lit up suddenly, "This is not only the economic cost, our brothers are together, that is, its profits and gold and the future is immeasurable." ”

Zhang Xiang slapped his thigh and raised his glass: "That's it!" ”

The sun was shining and it was a good day.

Zhou Hui's mood was also the same as the weather, she was particularly beautiful, she was humming a little song while busy in the kitchen. The kitchen is full of all kinds of dishes, and the chicken, duck, and fish are not left behind. Since Zhao Haiying moved to the unit, Zhou Hui has fewer opportunities to see her son, and at her strong request, Zhao Haiying must go home for dinner every Saturday. In fact, since Zhao Haiying graduated, Zhou Hui hopes that her son can go home to live, because there is a ready-made house at home, and it is empty and empty, not to mention anything else, that is, the food at home is much better than that in the canteen. But Zhao Haiying didn't, saying that he was in his twenties and couldn't "gnaw at the old" at home.

To say that the happiest person on Saturday is not Zhou Hui, but Zhao Haiying's father Zhao Guoping. In the past, my wife said that each meal was also four dishes and one soup, and the nutrition was also very balanced; Since his son went to work as a security guard, his wife seems to have lost her soul, she doesn't cook anymore, and she doesn't take care of her home. Zhao Guoping, who is accustomed to enjoying four dishes and one soup, can eat these, every time he puts forward an opinion, Zhou Hui gives a high-sounding reason: "When you are old, eating light is better for your body." Zhao Guoping couldn't find a reason to fight back at all, there was no way, if he didn't eat, he would be hungry, and in the end he could only find various reasons, and occasionally went to the canteen to improve his life. Only on Saturday, Zhao Guoping will honestly stay at home, waiting for the meat at noon.

As soon as Zhao Haiying entered the door, the table was already full of all kinds of Shanghai dishes, all of which Zhao Haiying loved to eat. Looking at the big fish and meat on the table, Zhao Guoping sighed: "See, your mother's bowl of water is uneven, you come back to eat today, and this fish will be on the table." ”

Saying that, Zhao Guoping was about to pick up vegetables, but was glared at fiercely by Zhou Hui: "I made it for you to eat, you have worked too hard during this time." As she spoke, she put a piece of fish in her husband's bowl.

Zhao Haiying looked at his mother, who was getting thinner, a little distressed, and picked up a piece of fish and put it into Zhou Hui's bowl: "Mom, you have worked hard." ”

Zhou Hui didn't seem to have much appetite, and asked intentionally, seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that Du Li is now working at the People's Bank of China, and your father and they have a meeting, and Du Li went to participate." Do you know? ”

"Yes, he told me." Zhao Haiying replied disapprerovingly while taking a big bite to eat, "Actually, that kid had average grades when he was in school, and he didn't know what luck he had to get into the People's Bank." ”

At this time, Zhou Hui completely lost her appetite. When he was studying, Du Li did not have good grades like Zhao Haiying, and Xie Tianyang did not have the talent of Zhao Haiying, but now one of them is in the People's Bank of China, and the other has gone to the United States. As for his son, he has been the focus of the teacher since he was a child, and what his friends called "someone else's child" is now running to be a security guard. As long as Zhou Hui thought that her son had become so unenterprising, she felt aggrieved.

Zhou Hui endured her temper, was patient, and said all the words that were held in her stomach in one breath: "I was cheeky and begged people everywhere, and finally recommended you to Yongkang Medical Device Factory, although it is said to be dry sales, but it is a state-owned enterprise, at least it is very stable, right?" Didn't you do well when you first arrived? Don't turn positive, go to Jing'an as a security guard, where do you put my face? She slowed down and pointed the finger directly at Chen Menglei: "Are you for that Chen Menglei?" ”

Zhao Haiying didn't expect that it had been so long, and her mother still couldn't let go of it, in the final analysis, it wasn't for her own face that she felt ashamed of her son. Besides, what does his current situation have to do with Chen Menglei. The food in his mouth suddenly became difficult to swallow: "Chen Menglei is my girlfriend, even if it is for her, there is nothing wrong with it." What's more, I've always wanted to work on the stock exchange, and in my current situation, I can only start from the bottom. ”

This is the first time Zhao Haiying has contradicted himself, or for a girl, Zhou Hui felt cold, and tears in her eyes were about to flow out. Zhao Haiying saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to become a stockbroker in Jing'an." ”

Zhao Haiying looked like he was swearing, but Zhou Hui didn't eat this set at all, it was because he believed in and respected his son's ideas too much, so he didn't even get a college diploma in the end, this time she never compromised: "Two ways: either you review hard and then take the TOEFL, and your parents can still afford you; Either you just find a formal job and work and live in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Haiying's attitude was extremely resolute, saying that he would not resign, and next week Zhou Hui was completely angry and threw his chopsticks directly on the table. The mother and son did not give in, and even Zhao Guoping, who had been eating with relish, had no appetite, and the original meal was good, but in the end it turned out to be like this, he looked at his wife: "Zhou Hui, you can say a few words." ”

Zhou Hui was worried that she had no place to vent, so she directly turned the finger at Zhao Guoping: "You are just irresponsible, your son is like this, you don't care." ”

"It's not that he can't support himself now, you have to arrange him according to your wishes, it won't work." Zhao Guoping also did not back down, he has always been the concept of "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren", and parents should not interfere too much with their children. Besides, he knows Zhao Haiying, he has been a measured and assertive person since he was a child, and he will not compromise easily.

But Zhou Hui didn't think so. Seeing that his parents had been arguing, Zhao Haiying looked at the dishes on the table, had no appetite, and got up to leave.

Looking at her son's back, Zhou Hui couldn't get angry, she was angry, she hated, she was angry that her son was not angry, and she hated the woman who "kidnapped" his son to be a security guard. She secretly made up her mind that as long as she was alive, Chen Menglei would not want to enter the door of the Zhao family.

At noon, the sun was hot on the asphalt road, and the plants on both sides of the road were also sunburned and hung their heads listlessly.

After coming out of the house, Zhao Haiying came to the door of the movie theater and looked at his watch, there was still more than half an hour before the agreed time with Chen Menglei. He bought Chen Menglei's favorite sugar-fried chestnuts and waited patiently. The sun scorched mercilessly on his body, and after a while, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"Popsicles, ice cream." Zhao Haiying looked in the direction of the sound, and an old man carrying a thermos flask and a cotton insulated wooden box on his shoulder walked towards him.

Zhao Haiying greeted him: "I want two bright ice creams." He took out the money from his bag, and when he had little left, he hesitated for a moment, and said to the old man, "I still want one." ”

The old man took out a bright ice cream from the insulated wooden box and handed it to Zhao Haiying, he didn't open it to eat, and wanted to leave it for Chen Menglei.

At this time, Zhao Haiying saw Chen Menglei across the road, and immediately showed a happy and sweet smile on her face, waving to her across the road.

The red light for dozens of seconds seemed to be as long as hours, and finally, the little red man became a little green man, and Chen Menglei on the opposite side ran towards Zhao Haiying, and suddenly stopped halfway through, and the expression on his face immediately changed.

Zhao Haiying was still wondering, and he heard a very familiar voice in his ears: "Zhao Haiying." ”

Zhao Haiying was surprised when he saw the colleagues standing beside him, and his expression was embarrassed: "Sister Wang, why are you here?" ”

Sister Wang shook the movie ticket in her hand: "Of course it's watching a movie." What about you, also watch movies? ”

"Yes, I'll wait for someone, I'll go in in a moment."

"It can't be a girlfriend, right?" Sister Wang blurted out, but Zhao Haiying broke out in a cold sweat on her back. Sister Wang is a ** lake, she can smell the smell of gossip at once, and before Zhao Haiying can explain, her two eyes have been round, like a fierce beast, looking around for her prey, "Let me see, what does your girlfriend look like." Zhao Haiying subconsciously looked up at the street across the road, where people came and went, but there was no longer Chen Menglei. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

"No, it's not a girlfriend, it's just an ordinary friend." Zhao Haiying's tone was full of loss.

Seeing that the time for the opening of the movie was approaching, Sister Wang found nothing and suddenly lost interest, but Yang Hao, who had been standing aside, suddenly opened his mouth and whispered to her: "I seem to have seen Chen Menglei just now, Zhao Haiying won't be dating Chen Menglei, right?" ”

"No, Chen Menglei will take a fancy to him?" Sister Wang's tone was obviously incredulous, "Chen Menglei has a good background, a good education, and is beautiful, will she fall in love with a little security guard?" That's the big news of the century. ”

A few words floated into Zhao Haiying's ears, his fists clenched tightly, and the ice cream in his hand melted. Zhao Haiying felt very uncomfortable, threw the ice cream into the trash, and was about to turn around and leave the cinema. Suddenly, a soft hand grabbed him, Zhao Haiying eased up, it turned out to be Chen Menglei, she pulled herself and walked forward. Before they could react, they came to Sister Wang and Yang Hao, and Chen Menglei said generously: "Zhao Haiying and I were lovers when we were in college, because we are colleagues now, and I am afraid that the impact will not be good, so it has not been made public, you have to keep it secret for us!" ”

Sister Wang and Yang Hao's eyes widened in surprise, and before they could come back to their senses, Chen Menglei pulled Zhao Haiying to the cinema. Zhao Haiying followed behind, and the slight faint pain disappeared. At this moment, he took Chen Menglei's hand and held it tighter.

After watching the movie, Zhao Haiying returned to the newly rented house he rented with Zhang Xiang and Wu Yibai. This is a typical alley courtyard, the courtyard is a little dilapidated, but it is very artistic, and it is said to be the former residence of a great painter. There are three rooms in the courtyard, the house has been uninhabited for many years, it is in disrepair, and the wall skin has fallen off. The three of them were ready to repaint, but the cost of hiring someone was too high, so they simply bought some paint and became a painter themselves.

On the big weekend, Zhao Haiying and Chen Menglei went on a date, leaving Wu Yibai and Zhang Xiang to paint in the house. Unexpectedly, when Zhao Haiying came back, he still had a bitter and hateful expression.

It happened that the two of them were also hungry, Zhang Xiang proposed to drink, and the three hit it off.

As night falls, the food stalls in Shanghai's alleys have just opened, and the colorful neon lights are lit up, forming a unique landscape. The vendors pushed their carts into the alleys, which were filled with all sorts of delicious food. The shouting of the first shape echoed in the alley, creating a strong alley style.

Zhao Haiying ordered a plate of fried snails and a few bottles of cold beer. He took a sip of wine and was a little bitter: "I know that if we make our relationship public, those people in the company will definitely gossip, I feel uncomfortable, I feel like I'm dragging my feet, it's too awkward." With that, he drank another glass of wine wistfully.

Seeing that his brother was so depressed, Wu Yibai patted Zhao Haiying's shoulder comfortingly: "Actually, it's not a big deal." Think about it, Chen Menglei didn't leave you for such a big thing as dropping out, just by virtue of this, it shows how much she loves you. ”

Zhao Haiying also knew in her heart that Chen Menglei stayed in Shanghai for herself, "Every time I see her work under so much pressure, I feel very guilty, if she goes to Beijing, maybe she will be happier and happier than now." ”

"Are you willing?" Zhang Xiang asked.

"Reluctantly, so I have to work hard, I can't let Lei Lei have any regrets." After speaking, Zhao Haiying was a little depressed, and he told the two of them his confusion, "Now there is no concept of value investment in China's stock market, there is no audit statement, there are no institutional investors and researchers, the leading force of the market is the big individual, and immature shareholders will only chase the rise and fall, even if I put on the yellow vest in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiang thought of Xie Tianyang: "It's better to thank Xie Tianyang, I'll go abroad so soon." Who of us economics graduates doesn't want to go to Wall Street. For us, that's a place where we can dream. ”

Wall Street, these three words seem to be very far away for Zhao Haiying: "Now all the public missions in Jing'an have the opportunity to study abroad, and I want to help Lei Lei get them." However, with Leilei's current performance, it is very difficult, and I am also worried. ”

Listening to Zhao Haiying's three sentences without leaving Chen Menglei, Wu Yibai was amazed, saying that Zhao Haiying was really the best boyfriend of this century. Seeing Zhao Haiying so worried, Wu Yibai happened to have a business card, which belonged to the boss of Shanghai Huajian Construction Company, and he handed him the business card: "If you want to help Chen Menglei do performance, you can try it with him." Staring at small retail investors every day, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve high performance in a short period of time. ”

Zhao Haiying took the business card, his eyes were full of light, his face swept away the previous haze, and patted Wu Yibai's shoulder: "You kid, it's interesting enough!" ”

After eating and drinking, it's time to get down to business. The three of them hurried up to paint the walls, install the lights, and buy some simple furniture. Not to mention, with such a hand, the original dilapidated cottage really has the taste of home.

The problem of the house is solved, and the most important thing for Zhao Haiying at the moment is to help Chen Menglei improve her performance. He took the business card given to him by Wu Yibai and came to Shanghai Huajian Construction Company and found the boss Sun Huajian.

When he heard that he was Wu Yibai's friend, Sun Huajian warmly received him. Zhao Haiying directly handed over the business card, and when Sun Huajian saw it, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He probably understood Zhao Haiying's intentions, and before Zhao Haiying could speak, he directly expressed his attitude: "A friend told me that China's stock market is just a 'money-trapping tool for state-owned enterprises'. I don't agree with that, but I think that the market price of some items can rise and fall inexplicably, just like stocks, which is really unpredictable. Businessmen like me still do their duty and don't think about the pie-in-the-sky good things. This is clearly not interested in the "opportunistic" thing of stocks. He directly refused Zhao Haiying with the reason for the meeting, and the whole meeting lasted less than ten minutes, and Zhao Haiying did not say a word except for introducing himself when he entered the door.

However, Zhao Haiying did not give up, but felt that he had gained a lot. In terms of speech and demeanor, he also got a rough idea of Sun Huajian's character, this person is straightforward and very conservative at the same time, but this also means that he is a very cautious and stable person. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, although the first meeting ended in failure, Zhao Haiying already had an idea in his heart, and he secretly made up his mind that he must win Sun Huajian's customer.

After work the next day, Zhao Haiying came to Huajian Company again, but this time he was not as lucky as last time, and before he saw Sun Huajian, he was stopped by the old man who was guarding the door. It turned out that when Zhao Haiying came to Huajian Company the day before, he told a small lie to the old man who was guarding the door, saying that he was a friend of Sun Huajian.

"I can't say anything this time and I won't let you in." The old man was resolute and gave a very good reason, "It's not easy for me to find a job at my age, can you be considerate and considerate of me?" ”

If it was Zhao Haiying when he was studying, he would definitely grind foreign work with the old man and go around to the end, but since he became a security guard himself, he knew that this kind of job identity is actually very embarrassing, to put it bluntly, it is not easy for anyone to come out to work. Thinking of this, Zhao Haiying gave up pestering the old man, temporarily changed his tactics, and stood in front of Huajian Company and waited. The day before, he specially observed the terrain of Huajian Company and found that there was only one gate, and all the people who came and went in and out had to pass through here. He was waiting here, waiting for Sun Huajian to come out. The bell rang for work, the workers poured out like a tide, Zhao Haiying's eyes widened, searching in the crowd, there were fewer people, and finally the surroundings were empty, but Sun Huajian was never seen.

As night fell, the street lamps on the street were lit, but the inside of Huajian Company was exceptionally quiet. The old man who watched the door came back from the canteen with a lunch box, stretched out his head, and saw Zhao Haiying still standing at the door, and asked angrily and funny: "Why are you still there?" ”

"Don't wait, what time is it, aren't you hungry?" The old man's tone was obviously much soothed than before, and even had an element of concern, "Mr. Sun may not come out when he will come out, he may not go home today if he is busy, and he will live in the company." ”

However, these words didn't seem to have any effect on Zhao Haiying, and he was determined to wait until Sun Huajian. Even if Sun Huajian really works overtime today and lives in the unit, then he will always come out tomorrow. Zhao Haiying didn't believe it, Sun Huajian would stay in the company.

Time passed minute by minute, the night was getting deeper, the pedestrians on the road were sparse, Zhao Haiying was hungry and sleepy, and the night before, in order to sort out the income of several stocks represented by the Jing'an Exchange in the past six months, he stayed up all night, and lacked sleep for a long time.

Until late at night, a figure in Huajian Company walked in the direction of the gate from afar.

"Mr. Sun, you left so late." The old man deliberately raised his voice high, said, glanced at Sun Huajian, pointed to Zhao Haiying who was standing at the door, and said softly, "I've been waiting for you for a night." ”

Sun Huajian was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Haiying: "Why are you here again?" ”

Zhao Haiying came prepared this time, and he directly mentioned the name of a person: Li Kangguo.

This name is the result of his all-night research, he sorted out the income of the agent of the Jing'an Exchange, hoping to find a company related to Huajian Company, but he really found Li Kangguo.

The name Li Kangguo Sun Huajian is naturally not unfamiliar, and even very familiar and understood. Li Kangguo is their company's biggest competitor, and his company is on a par with him in terms of market share, and now is the stage of fierce competition between the two companies. It stands to reason that these are all trade secrets, Sun Huajian doesn't know where Zhao Haiying got this news, is it true that as he said, he found the name Li Kangguo from the half-year transaction records of the Jing'an Exchange, or Zhao Haiying was originally a spy sent by Li Kangguo. But no matter who Zhao Haiying was, he became interested in the young man in front of him and wanted to hear what he wanted to do.

Zhao Haiying saw Sun Huajian's hesitation and knew that he had successfully attracted Sun Huajian, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "Mr. Li has bought a lot of shares on our exchange, and the income is very stable, you can take a look at the information I gave you, but I am not convenient to disclose the specific purchase information to you." ”

Lee Kang-kook: So monkey spirits will also believe in stocks? Sun Huajian secretly wondered in his heart.

Zhao Haiying suggested: "You can do some research to find out if what I said is true." Although Zhao Haiying said these words with a smile, he had already calculated in his heart that Sun Huajian's order would soon succeed.

On the third day, Zhao Haiying came to the door of Huajian Company again, this time he stood directly outside the door and waited, and did not enter the gate at all. According to his speculation, this time it was not him looking for Sun Huajian, but Sun Huajian would take the initiative to greet him at the door.

What he didn't expect was that this time the old man at the doorman actually took the initiative to talk to him: "Let me tell you, Mr. Sun has not been in the company for the past two days, his mother has had a stroke and is going to be hospitalized but there are no beds in the hospital. ”

The old man's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day and smashed into Zhao Haiying, and the original plan was disrupted at once. According to the old man, Sun Huajian is a well-known filial son who usually takes good care of the old lady. But the old lady was old after all, and this time she fell ill too suddenly, which made Sun Huajian feel a little at a loss for a while.

Hearing the old man say this, Zhao Haiying suddenly thought of his mother, who was a doctor. He came to Huashan Hospital, found his mother, and explained what had happened, Zhou Hui hesitated, remembering that there was a patient who had been discharged from the hospital and could vacate a room, so he brought Sun Huajian's mother over. This can be regarded as a great help to Sun Huajian.

However, Sun Huajian is a businessman and will not spend the company's money because of gratitude. Since the last time he separated from Zhao Haiying, he specially went to investigate Li Guokang's information. Zhao Haiying is right, Li Guokang did buy a lot of stocks, and he made a lot of money from stocks. Now with the matter of his mother, Sun Huajian trusts Zhao Haiying even more. However, before he met Zhao Haiying, he was not interested in any stock, and he needed advice: "Since you are so insistent, why don't you first tell me which stock you want to sell me?" ”

Zhao Haiying saw several pots of flowers on Sun Huajian's windowsill, so he said: "Stocks are not tulips, nor phalaenopsis, they are not cute in themselves, but what is lovely is the income that stocks can bring." At the end of the day, the value of a stock is determined by the prospects and profits that the company issuing the stock can actually expect. Therefore, considering these factors, I recommend that Mr. Sun can buy Yuyuan Shopping Mall now. ”

Zhao Haiying recently went to Huajian Company every day after work, and he didn't pick up Chen Menglei from work. Chen Menglei pretended that nothing had happened on the surface, but her mood was very low; What made her unbearable the most was that every time she asked Zhao Haiying why he went, he always looked mysterious, and sent himself away with a sentence of "temporary secrecy", looking at Zhao Haiying's evil smile, Chen Menglei's anger was not in one place. was originally going to have a good talk with Zhao Haiying on his birthday and ask him what he has been doing recently, but he didn't expect this guy to miss the appointment, making Chen Menglei wait for most of the night.

The reason is this, after Sun Huajian and Zhao Haiying chatted about stocks, they found that they had similar interests. Sun Huajian saw the shadow of his youth from Zhao Haiying, insisting on doing things and never giving up. It seems that they have found a long-lost confidant, admiring each other and telling their insights on the current economy. No, on Chen Menglei's birthday, Zhao Haiying forgot the time as soon as he chatted, and he didn't remember it until late at night. When he hurried to the pre-agreed place with the pre-booked cake, he saw that the streets were deserted, the street lamps were obliquely shining, and there was no one around him, let alone Chen Menglei's figure.

The next day, Zhao Haiying got up early in the morning, put on a security uniform, stood at his post, and greeted Chen Menglei with a smile when he saw him, but Chen Menglei walked directly past him as if she didn't see him. Now Zhao Haiying knew that he was in trouble. But fortunately, he still has a "trump card".

Just thinking about it, his "trump card" walked into the Jing'an Exchange, Sun Huajian saw Zhao Haiying at a glance, and was about to say hello, but Zhao Haiying was busy hinting with his eyes that he pretended not to know him, Sun Huajian understood and walked straight into the exchange.

"Is Chen Menglei here?" Sun Huajian directly named him.

Chen Menglei was a little surprised, and quickly stood up: "I am." Sun Huajian looked at Chen Menglei carefully, and secretly sighed in his heart Zhao Haiying's eyes, if he was dozens of years younger and such a good girl, he would do a lot of things to please her.

"I want to buy 2,000 shares of Yuyuan Mall."

Chen Menglei was stunned at the time, thinking that she had misheard. Sun Huajian thought that he hadn't made it clear, so he said again: "Buy 2,000 shares of Yuyuan Shopping Mall, Miss Chen, you can help me do it." ”

Chen Menglei came back to her senses at this time, but she still couldn't believe it, and asked again: "Sir, do you want 2,000 shares of Yuyuan Shopping Mall?" ”

Sun Huajian took out a check: "Yes, 2,000 shares, this is a check for 200,000." ”

Chen Menglei took the check from Sun Huajian's hand, she couldn't believe her eyes, but the check clearly read "Two Thousand Dollars". She didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went through the stock trading procedures for Sun Huajian, and that feeling was like a big pie falling from the sky and hitting her head.

Chen Menglei quickly helped Sun Huajian finish the business, and a newcomer who had just come to the unit could handle such a large amount of business at one time, which was unprecedented in Jing'an Securities Exchange, and it couldn't help but make others look red.

"Chen Menglei, who was that just now? Such a big deal. Sister Wang asked tentatively.

"I don't know." Chen Menglei was still intoxicated with excitement.

"I don't know you, I'm going to look for you by name? 2000 shares, this is your month's performance. Everyone obviously didn't believe Chen Menglei's answer, and they all felt that the quota for going abroad this time was definitely hers.

Everyone was still asking, and Chen Menglei didn't bother to explain, she was convinced that she was not afraid of shadows. At this moment, she just wanted to tell Zhao Haiying the good news.

"Aunt Sun's skills are really good, much better than my dad." Chen Menglei said while eating the boxed lunch prepared by Zhao Haiying for herself. Her face no longer had the sorrow she had before, and the success of signing the order allowed her to sweep away all her unhappiness.

Zhao Haiying picked out all the meat in his lunch box and gave it to Chen Menglei: "Eat more meat, you are too thin, you have to make up for it." ”

"Seahawk, why do you think my luck is so good today? Suddenly, such a big customer came, and a single business topped my performance in the previous month. Even Chen Menglei herself couldn't figure it out about this matter. However, Zhao Haiying's absence on her birthday is still haunted.

Zhao Haiying took out the cake that had been prepared for a long time, Chen Menglei saw the cake, and half of her anger disappeared, but she deliberately showed that she was still very concerned: "Do you think a cake can send me away?" The point is that it's my birthday, and you made me wait for you so long! ”

"Yes, yes, I asked you to wait, it was me who was wrong, I apologize, but I was here to prepare your birthday present!"

Seeing that Chen Menglei was confused, Zhao Haiying said with a smile: "Isn't this morning's surprise big enough?" ”

Chen Menglei's eyes widened at this time, the previous confusion was finally solved, no wonder Zhao Haiying disappeared every day for a while ago, it turned out that he was trying to help him find this big customer. Suddenly, a strong sense of happiness came over me.

"In fact, have you ever thought that your current job, instead of working tirelessly every day to receive those retail investors, it is better to develop large customers in a targeted manner, just like Sun Huajian, a business is comparable to dozens of small shareholders." Zhao Haiying said while eating.

His words are exactly the same as Chen Menglei's thoughts, the work experience in the past month has made Chen Menglei grow a lot, and the set he learned in school does not have much practical value in society at all. In fact, she has always had the idea of doing a set of stock analysis to match different customer groups, so that she can be more convincing when explaining to customers. Her idea was recognized by Zhao Haiying, who patted his chest and said, "I'll help you sort out a directory of large and medium-sized enterprises in Shanghai, which are your potential customer resources." ”

Chen Menglei was not only moved, but also excited, she felt that she was getting closer and closer to her dream......

The news of going abroad for further study was soon announced, and as expected, Chen Menglei successfully got the opportunity to study abroad for three months because of Sun Huajian's list. This is the first time in the Jing'an Exchange that an intern who has just entered the unit has defeated many experienced backbones. Everyone talked about it, and most of them speculated about the relationship between Chen Menglei and Sun Huajian, but Chen Menglei didn't think so. All she wants to do now is to study in the United States, which is her dream all along, and it is also Zhao Haiying's dream.

A pair of young lovers dreamed of going to Wall Street in the United States, and this dream began early, from their first exposure to the first finance course, the first lecture. Meeting the financial tycoon Mr. Verlin and simulating stock trading with Childe up close ignited the fire in their hearts to go to Wall Street. Although Zhao Haiying suffered Waterloo, Chen Menglei's encouragement and companionship remained the same. Dreams are like oars in the hands of this pair of young people, even if they are sailing against the current, they will strive to move forward together. Chen Menglei knows very well that this official assignment to the United States is a great opportunity, and she wants to pave the way for their future.

Chen Menglei has been gone for a week, Zhao Haiying is still as usual, in front of his little security guard, the days don't seem to have changed.

"Is Chen Menglei here?" A familiar voice comes to the ear.

The person who came was none other than Sun Huajian, the stock that Zhao Haiying recommended him to buy before made a lot of money, and this time he was going to buy some more. Sun Huajian's arrival made Sister Wang and others excited, and Sun Huajian's generosity left a deep impression on them, so they were all looking forward to the favor of this God of Wealth.

"Xiao Chen went abroad for further study, and he won't come back until three months later." Sister Wang greeted her with a smile, waiting with anticipation to set up a stock transaction for Sun Huajian, but unexpectedly, he walked directly to Zhao Haiying at the door.

"Zhao Haiying, I brought a check for 300,000 yuan today, which stock are you going to recommend?" Sun Huajian's words made Sister Wang stunned.

Zhao Haiying explained with a smile: "Mr. Sun, I am just a security guard, and I am not qualified to handle stock transactions for you." As he was talking, Xie Dong also walked over, heard the conversation between Sun Huajian and Zhao Haiying, and was about to step forward to explain. Before he could speak, there were many people around the door, led by an aunt, as soon as she entered the door, the aunt pointed to Zhao Haiying and said loudly: "It's him, it's the stock he recommended to me." ”

This formation directly frightened Zhao Haiying, and he thought that he was looking for trouble, and he was at a loss. He struggled to remember what he had done recently and who he had offended. Unexpectedly, the aunt stepped forward and took Zhao Haiying's hand and said affectionately: "Little comrade, last time I heard from you that you bought Yuyuan Shopping Mall and made a lot of money, just listen to you." ”

Zhao Haiying then remembered that this aunt had come to the Jing'an Exchange before, and had been struggling with what stocks to buy, Zhao Haiying recommended a stock for her at that time, in fact, it was a gesture, but I didn't expect that this time the aunt came to the door again, and brought so many friends, which made Zhao Haiying a little embarrassed. Everyone rushed forward one after another, took the money and stuffed it into Zhao Haiying's hands. At this time, Zhao Haiying was simply worshiped as the "god of stocks" by these citizens. At the same time, Zhao Haiying was very excited in his heart, and said to everyone: "Don't worry, come one by one, tell me your career and family situation first, and then I will help you analyze it specifically." ”

This scene was seen by Xie Dong on the side. In fact, he had a deep impression of Zhao Haiying before, after all, he was his son's classmate, and he still knew something about it. After Zhao Haiying came to the Jing'an Exchange, Xie Dong chatted with Zhao Haiying a few times, and Zhao Haiying's unique insights and vision inspired Xie Dong very much.

After careful consideration, Xie Dong recommended Zhao Haiying to the manager, who thought for a moment, listened to his opinion, made an exception to give Zhao Haiying a registration form for the formal employee examination, and told him that after three months, if he could pass the exam, he would be able to become a regular employee of the Jing'an Exchange.

Happiness came too suddenly, Zhao Haiying couldn't believe it, holding the registration form, so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Three months later, Zhao Haiying successfully passed the exam and became a real stockbroker.

When Zhao Haiying put on the coveted red vest and sat behind the counter, his excitement was indescribable. Although everything in front of him was too familiar to be more familiar, he felt new to everything he saw today, as if it was the first time he came to work at the Jing'an Exchange.

At this time, Yang Hao updated the data of "Today's Stock Market" on the small blackboard behind the counter, and filled in "44.5 yuan" on the selling price of Yanzhong Industrial stocks.

Zhao Haiying was a little anxious when he saw that the price of Yanzhong Industrial had fallen by several yuan, and muttered: "Why did it fall again?" It fell by 3 yuan yesterday, why is it still falling today? ”

It turned out that Sun Mingfang gave Zhao Haiying a large sum of money before, and that money was Sun Mingfang's savings for more than 20 years. Sun Mingfang saw that all the neighbors began to speculate in stocks, that is, they could easily make hundreds of yuan by buying and selling, and they were very envious. Just in time for Zhao Haiying to go to Qian's house for dinner, she took out all her savings in one go and prepared to invest in stocks.

Zhao Haiying understood the situation of Sun Mingfang's family, supported a large family, and Qian Qingqing was in college, and there were many places to spend money at home, but he couldn't bear Sun Mingfang's insistence, and finally decided to let Sun Mingfang take out one-third of the money, that is, 800 yuan, to try. He bought "Yanzhong Industry" for Sun Mingfang, but he didn't expect that the teacher was unfavorable, and after buying it, it kept falling, and Zhao Haiying's heart beat a drum.

After thinking about it, Zhao Haiying decided to borrow money, put together Sun Mingfang's 800 yuan, and put it on first, she couldn't directly say to Sun Mingfang that all the money was lost, she definitely couldn't stand this stimulation.

"Old Wu, Xiangzi, do you have any money? Lend me an emergency first. Zhao Haiying asked anxiously.

These two people were cooking noodles, and Wu Yibai took out dozens of yuan from his pocket without thinking about it: "It's all here, take it and use it!" As he spoke, he picked out two noodles from the pot, one sucked, and the noodles entered his mouth, so hot that Wu Yibai kept exhaling out, "It's really good, go get a bowl and eat noodles." ”

Zhao Haiying was in the mood to eat noodles, looking at the dozens of dollars scraped together, he was full of sadness. It's a full 800 yuan, where is he going to find it?

Zhang Xiang was curious and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The stock I recommended to my grandmother has fallen." Saying that, Zhao Haiying sat down on the chair and was listless, "Mother Sun said the day before yesterday that she wanted to sell 'Yanzhong Industrial', and she was worried that it would fall even worse in the past two days." ”

As soon as he heard that it was "Yanzhong Industrial", Zhang Xiang suddenly came to his senses, and he also noticed this stock recently: "This stock can't be sold, it will rise again soon." I've analyzed the curves and it's absolutely fine. ”

Wu Yibai, who is on the side, has always heard people talk about this stock recently: "I'm also optimistic, and it will definitely be a loss to sell it now." ”

Seeing that the opinions of the two were surprisingly consistent, Zhao Haiying still hesitated, and finally at the insistence of his two friends, he finally did not sell.

It is said that the days of waiting are difficult, and the days of waiting for stocks to rise may be one of the hardest things. Zhao Haiying stared at the small blackboard every day, falling for a while and rising for a while. A few weeks have passed, Zhang Xiang and Wu Yibai's persistence has finally seen results, and Zhao Haiying helped Sun Mingfang buy stocks to make money in the end, and in just two months, the cost of 800 yuan has earned back 180 yuan. This made Mother Sun excited for several days, she had never made so much money in such a short period of time, and she praised Zhao Haiying for her ability. Seeing Sun Mingfang's long-lost smile, Zhao Haiying's heart finally let go.

Three months passed in a flash, Zhao Haiying successfully became a stockbroker, and Chen Menglei was about to return from the United States.

After three months of training in the United States, Chen Menglei learned some new knowledge. However, what has changed the most is her vision. She saw the outside world, a different world, and her worldview was completely refreshed.

In order to celebrate Chen Menglei's return from school, Zhao Haiying specially invited everyone to dinner. Chen Menglei proposed to go to a Western restaurant for coffee, which made several young people so excited that they couldn't do it.

Soft music is playing in the restaurant, the décor is comfortable and pleasant, and the air is filled with enticing fragrances. The waitress stood gracefully aside, smiling and waiting for them to order.

Chen Menglei very skillfully ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee for each of them, and ordered a cappuccino herself. While waiting for coffee, Chen Menglei excitedly introduced her experience in the United States: "I have too much to say to you. Did you know? I went abroad to study at Xie Tianyang's school this time, do you think this world is too small? ”

"Xie Tianyang, how is he?" Wu Yibai was a little curious.

"He's so good now." Chen Menglei said excitedly, "New York is really bustling, completely different from ours here, this time I am really eye-opening." Xie Tianyang took me to drink coffee and eat Western food, and participated in many lectures. More importantly, I got to know Professor Lancer at the lecture, and he was willing to accept me as a graduate student and be my guarantor for studying abroad. ”

"Really? Are you going out for graduate school? What about the job? Wu Yibai's eyes widened.

"Resign." Chen Menglei said disapprerovingly.

As soon as the words fell, several people cast surprised glances at the same time, and Zhao Haiying, who had not spoken all the time, was also a little surprised: "Lei Lei, you want to resign, why haven't you mentioned it?" ”

"It's not too late to tell you now." Chen Menglei said very calmly, "Have you heard of Muriel Hibbert? She is a stockbroker and the first woman to secure a broker seat on the New York Stock Exchange, known as the 'No. 1 Woman on Wall Street'. Did you know? She entered the New York Stock Exchange because of a holiday trip. At that time, visitors could climb to the building's balcony for a panoramic view of the New York Stock Exchange. Ms. Muriel stood on that balcony and said to herself that if she could make it to New York, she might find a job on Wall Street. ”

Looking at everyone's expectation, Chen Menglei continued: "In the early days, Wall Street was a world for men and a forbidden place for women. Wall Street's blood, ideals and desires seem to be for men, not for women. It was not until December 28, 1967 that the first female face appeared on the trading floor, becoming the only woman among the 1,366 traders. She was Mrs. Hibbert. ”

Wu Yibai sighed: "What an amazing woman, it would be exciting if I had the opportunity to do an interview for her." ”

Zhao Haiying also stood up, raised the cup in his hand and lightly touched the cup in Chen Menglei's hand: "Li Hongzhang said at the end of the Qing Dynasty that if China wants to improve itself, it is better to learn foreign weapons. Wall Street is the world's financial center, and when we go to Wall Street, we are standing on the big stage of world finance. We study hard and work hard, and we firmly believe that Shanghai will become China's Wall Street in the future. Leilei, you are really amazing! I hope to walk side by side with you! ”

Zhao Haiying's words surprised Chen Menglei a little, and the only thing she worried about studying abroad was Zhao Haiying's attitude. Now that Zhao Haiying is already a formal employee of Jing'an Exchange, she didn't expect Zhao Haiying to give up everything in front of her and offer to go abroad with her. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
