Chapter 9: The Gambler
Sudy finally slept last night, and all his curiosity seemed to be answered. Before going to bed, he pulled out the storage. At six o'clock in the morning, the two woke up and found that although they pulled out the storage, the countdown was still there.
"I've done a deep transformation of the notebook, and I've also deeply learned the information in the notebook. It's now almost possible to interact independently of storage. Without waiting for the two to speak, a voice came from the screen.
"It seems that the highest wisdom of mankind is not as good as this small storage. It would be nice if human artificial intelligence could have this 1 in 10,000. Sudi sighed.
"Let's go, let's go, go find the takeaway Jin Ye!"
The two of them soon arrived at Beijing South Railway Station, and at this time there was no need for paper tickets and ID cards, and they all relied on one face. There is no need to queue up to pack luggage, etc., and only need to go through a closed corridor, and people and things have been screened. The speed of high-speed rail has reached 600 kilometers per hour, and there is no need to stop in between. That is, it only takes 4 hours to get from Beijing to Shenzhen. This is not a direct train, and passengers are picked up and dropped off at various stations along the way from Beijing to Shenzhen.
Each high-speed rail carriage is an autonomous driving unit that can be independent and can be connected with other carriages, and at each station, the corresponding carriage will break away from the independent station, and the other carriages will pass at high speed, and then connect with the carriage that has already departed in front and in the same direction, so as to realize the non-stop of the high-speed rail train.
Arrive at Shenzhen North at 1:40 p.m. It is also the time when the takeaway brother is relatively idle.
Jin Shijie, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the foreign exchange timeline, and was half lying on the battery car.
"It's a fucking mistake again, it's been done for nothing." Jin Shijie turned from a long to a short, and never thought that the yuan would rise sharply for a while.
He took a deep breath of white sand smoke that was about to ignite the filter, and threw it directly on the ground, keeping his eyes glued to the screen. In the current situation, who would have thought that he actually had a master's degree in finance from the University of London, and after returning to China, he entered the * investment banking department, with an annual salary of nearly one million 10 years ago. After working for three years, he bought a car and a house in Shenzhen, married a wife and had children, which was envied by everyone.
People's desires are always endless, and as a proud man who came out of the countryside of Hunan, he was ruthlessly hit by reality again and again. Because of his lack of resources and connections, coupled with his pretentiousness, he is unwilling to meet him, so he can only watch his colleagues who are not as qualified as him be promoted one by one, since he can't satisfy his desire for promotion, it is better to find another way - to be richer than everyone around him.
By chance, he was convinced that highly leveraged foreign exchange speculation would enable him to achieve rapid growth in wealth as soon as possible. Highly leveraged investing can make a person crazy, it has the innate magic of attracting a madman, it can make a destitute person achieve financial freedom in an instant, and it can also bankrupt the super-rich in an instant. And the root of this is greed. The forex market is meant to be value discovery and hedging risks, but it can always attract groups of greedy madmen to increase leverage, leverage, and even bankruptcy. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the futures tool itself, the fault lies with people, which is also the unique character of carbon-based people.
Jin Shijie also has the same madness, at the beginning of the period, he only operated carefully with part of his salary, and gradually made some money, his confidence began to swell, and he began to invest all his salary and credit funds, dreaming of getting rich overnight.
In 2029, there will be sharp fluctuations in the Asian foreign exchange market, first of all, the RMB will appreciate by nearly 5% in half a year without any reason, which is 5 times the profit for a foreign exchange investment with nearly 100 times leverage, on the contrary, if you short the RMB, I believe that the margin has been lost. The market celebrities began to shout, bullish on the RMB to rise by another 20%, the bullish sentiment is becoming more and more aggressive, Jin Shijie was also infected, the full position of long RMB, at first it was okay, the RMB rose 2% in a week, and the entire Asian currency followed.
Emotions are becoming more and more uncontrollable, Jin Shijie is also confused, in his opinion, this may be the only chance in his life to get rich, so he mortgaged his real estate and continued to be long, it can be said that all his belongings and nearly 2 million consumer loans are bullish on RMB.
"Blow the shorts!" The bulls have entered the currency market with near-frenzied momentum. Who knew that this was actually a conspiracy, the investment predators dominated this foreign exchange market trap, and then the number of short orders gradually increased, and people no longer cared about the number of short orders, because they could not withstand the buying and buying of the bulls. When the short chips are sufficient, there is a huge amount of selling* in the spot market and the exchange of Hong Kong dollars for US dollars, and the RMB depreciates sharply against the US dollar in the spot market. In the futures market, the renminbi plummeted by 12% in a month.
Jin Shijie went from a middle-class man to a prisoner within a month. Because as a securities practitioner, he borrowed other people's accounts to speculate in foreign exchange in violation of regulations and the amount was relatively large, and he was disqualified and banned for life. At the same time, because the debt could not be returned, the property had been enforced, and his wife Ge Juan could not accept such a gambler who had lost his mind, and divorced him with his children, and about 4 million debts could not be repaid, and finally he became a prisoner.
He was just released from prison in April this year, but because of his criminal record, no formal company dared to hire him. had to borrow the identity of his cousin in his hometown, and finally found a livelihood as a delivery man. Soon after work, his cousin opened a foreign exchange account, or he didn't change his heart, or he wanted to fall and get up there, Jin Shijie began to speculate in foreign exchange again.
According to the information, they came to the vicinity of the Jindi Center in Futian District.
"This is looking for a needle in a haystack, let's call Jin Ye first."
Jin Shijie at this end was staring at the plate, and when he saw that it was a strange call from Beijing, he hung up without ringing twice. But after a while, it was again and again, and he was preparing to find an opportunity to turn over, so he couldn't care about answering the phone and refused again.
"I was rejected twice in a row, and it seems that Jin Ye is a little busy. At this time, I ordered takeout, and it shouldn't be busy. Sudi said.
"I sent him a message and said that I would complain about him if I didn't answer the phone. He called back as soon as he was pleased. ”
Jin Shijie still couldn't find a good opportunity to turn over, and suddenly a text message popped up: Answer the phone or call back, or complain about you.
"Damn, where is the Lord who is difficult to serve, why are you complaining about me, a single complaint, the 500 yuan zero complaint award is gone, it's the end of the month, you can't be complained." Shi Jie thought to himself. Call back now.
"Hello, I'm a delivery guy. Don't know what went wrong and provoked you? ”
"Jin Shijie?"
"Well, I am, you are?"
"My name is Sudy, where are you now? I have something very important to say to you, and it is inconvenient to say it on the phone. Can you give me a location? ”
"What's important that can't be said on the phone? If you are a debt collector, first declare that I am penniless. ……”
"No, you're mistaken, it's not a debt collector. There are really important things, but you can't call and say, you tell me where you are, we'll go to you. Sudy interrupted Shijie and raised his voice.
"I'm at the bottom of the east side of the Gemdale Center, waiting to take orders. Hurry up if there's anything, if there's a list, I won't wait for you. ”
They are just on the north side of the center of Jindi, a few steps apart.
"Then don't hang up the phone, we're on the north side, a few steps away. Which store are you in? ”
"Yellow stewed chicken rice bowl."
While talking, the two came to Jin Shijie.
I saw a middle-aged man with scorched skin and wearing a certain food delivery uniform, holding a cigarette in his left hand, no longer lying down but sitting on a battery car.
"Is it just that you two have something important to look for me?"
"Hello, I'm Su Di, this is Li Xianhui." Sudi introduced herself and Cindy.
And Jin Shijie didn't mean to get up and shake hands.
"If you have anything, just say it, don't delay me taking the order."
"That's right." Su Di didn't say much, but took his mobile phone to Jin Shijie, and there was a picture of Sun Moon Mountain Taowen on his phone.
Jin Shijie was shocked at first, and then pretended to be calm and said, "What is this?" ”
"Sun Moon Mountain Taowen, if you are really Jin Shijie, you will not be unfamiliar with this pattern." Sudi asked rhetorically.
"I'm familiar with symbols, but I don't know if you two have anything to do with me. Let's talk about things first. ”
Su Di and Xin Jue briefly explained the ins and outs.
Jin Shijie smiled bitterly: "Hey, harvest is harvest, you see that I might as well be harvested now." Save me to kill myself. ”
"Not for anything else, but for your descendants."
"Don't mention them, abandon me, why do I think about them." may have touched Jin Shijie's sore spot, and he replied even more disdainfully.
"Well, this is the shepherd's storage for us, and you can go back and see before you decide whether or not, go with us. Keep in mind that this gadget will automatically connect to devices, including your phone, but only when there is no internet connection. We will always be waiting for your reply, and we hope you will get back to us tonight. After Sudi handed over the storage to Jin Shijie, she and Xun Jue found a café and waited for Shijie's reply.
Jin Shijie seemed to be moved, and he called it a day and went back to the basement where he lived. The network was disconnected at Sudi's instructions. The storage is automatically connected to his phone, likewise through the camera to put holograms outward. He lit a cigarette, and the small space was filled with tar and soot. The smoke and dust make the holograms more terrifying and mysterious. But Jin Shijie shook his head and giggled while watching.
A pack of cigarettes will be smoked in a while. He took another pack from the cigarette case, opened it, and refilled it. By the time Jin Shijie understood everything, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening, and they didn't bother him during this period.
When the video was played, there was always a countdown, and after watching the harvest plan, Jin Shijie also knew the meaning of the countdown. He separates the storage and opens the player.
