There is another one more today, ask for pink~~

Destiny has its trajectory and will not be easily changed by anyone or anything.

At 8:40 a.m. EST on September 11, 2001, four U.S. domestic civil aviation flights were hijacked almost simultaneously, two of which hit the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York, and one hit the Pentagon, the seat of the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington, D.C. And the fourth hijacked plane crashed in Pennsylvania,

At the time of the incident, the students of Locke High School were in class when a riot broke out, and then the teacher turned on the TV in the classroom to watch the news.

The scene on TV is like the end of the world

The World Trade Center was ablaze with fires, billowing smoke into the sky, and the sky over Manhattan was filled with dust and smoke. From time to time, people can be seen jumping desperately from high-rise buildings besieged by fire and smoke. The screen was filled with all kinds of screams, crying, and people in the streets were panicked and fled in all directions. Some of them were hit by falling objects from high school and died on the spot,

A tragic and desperate picture

Even a high-cost disaster blockbuster would not be so thrilling.

The students all started crying, and not a single one of them was not crying, even Nana and Catherine, who were usually the most naughty and arrogant, covered their faces and cried. The boys also kept wiping away tears.

The World Trade Center, the world's financial center, used to be the pride of Americans, where there are as many as 1,200 companies from all over the world, 50,000 people go to work on weekdays, and about 150,000 business people and tourists come and go every day. This means that every minute that passes, countless lives are lost.

Even hard-hearted people can't be indifferent, Gu Changqing couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw the pictures.

That letter must not have attracted their attention, and yes, the United States is a free speech society, and the White House does not know how many such letters it receives every day, maybe they don't even read it, maybe they are dusting in a corner, or they have gone into the dustbin.

But no matter what, she had done her best, and she couldn't have done more in this matter.

Just a few days ago, she had used the money Xu Kun lent her to borrow shares from securities dealers, all of which were stocks in tourism, insurance, and aviation, even if she didn't understand the stock market, she would know that after the 911 incident, these three stocks would fall the worst.

She had already shorted her stocks, and now that disaster had struck, she would definitely make a lot of money from it, but she didn't feel much joy in her heart.

As a result, the New York Stock Exchange closed and did not reopen until the first Monday after the event, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 14.26% on its first day of trading. As Gu Changqing expected, the biggest declines were in travel, insurance and airline stocks.

In this buy-and-sell room, in just a few days, Gu Changqing's private hidden account has already had three million US dollars.

It's a pity that she doesn't have much capital and too little seniority, and the brokerage is unwilling to lend her more shares, otherwise she will definitely earn more than that.

But it's okay to make a fortune, and it's not too eye-catching.

During this time, the atmosphere of the school has been bleak, everyone can see sadness and panic on their faces, everyone is not in the mood to entertain, no mood to consume, and even uncertainty about the future, the terrorists are not far away, as if the next second will burst out, even the most fun-loving Catherine is lazy, sometimes she doesn't even wear makeup when she goes out in class, it is simply impossible for her to go out without makeup, which shows the depressed mood of Americans now.

Mike was also sullen, Gu Changqing thought he was sad about 911, after a club activity, when the two were alone, Gu Changqing comforted him and said: "Mike, don't be sad, the matter has passed." It won't happen again."

Mike turned back to her and said: "Helen, we can't speculate on short-term stocks in the future, the stock market will definitely be in the doldrums for a long time, and there will not be much rise in the short term, and short-term stocks will definitely not make money." ”

He sighed, "Warren Buffett said, 'We welcome the market to fall because it allows us to buy more stocks at new, frighteningly cheap prices,' and now is the best time to speculate on long-term stocks, but unfortunately, I don't have the capital." ”

"So how much does it cost to speculate on long-term stocks?"

"Naturally, the more the merrier, if you want to profit from the stock market, long-term stocks are the best choice, short-term stocks are just a small fight, and they will never become the climate. I've always wanted to make my first pot of gold from short-term stocks, but unfortunately, it has never worked out," Mike bowed his head in despair. In the past two years, the stock market in the United States has fluctuated too much, and he has lost a lot of money due to his lack of experience.

Gu Changqing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then how long do you expect long-term stocks to return at least?" ”

As soon as he talked about stocks, Mike came to the spirit, he turned on the computer and put the data he analyzed in front of her, "I have carefully analyzed this time, now that Bush Jr. has just entered the White House, he will definitely do his best to make a beautiful result, although the stock market will be sluggish for a short time, but through the efforts of the government, it will definitely be rejuvenated, after all, this is the United States, and the superpower will not collapse so easily" When Mike said this, there was an unconcealable pride in his tone.

"The Fed will definitely cut interest rates, the insurance industry, the airline industry, the government will also allocate funds for relief, and as time goes by, people gradually forget about it, and at the same time find that the interest rates of the banks are very low, what do you think people will decide?"

Gu Changqing shook his head with a smile, "I'm not an American, and I can't understand the mentality of an American." But I think I'll spend it."

Mike laughed: "Yes, Americans all over the world love to consume." Real estate will definitely account for a very large proportion of consumption, and then everyone speculates that the United States will retaliate, so some strategic goods, such as oil, will definitely rise sharply."

He stroked his glasses, blue glowing behind the lenses, "If I have a large amount of money, I will definitely buy a lot of real estate and oil stocks when the stock price is at its lowest now, and in a year or two, at most three years, I will definitely be able to multiply the principal several times"

Gu Changqing listened to his analysis, and secretly admired, knowing that the other party was only one year older than him

"Mike, you're amazing, you know so much." She said from the bottom of her heart.

Mike smiled: "Warren Buffett said that money and opportunities will not automatically run into your pocket, without long-term observation and repeated research and analysis, basically don't expect to make a lot of money." So I have to learn about all kinds of market conditions every day, including politics and economy, entertainment, etc., and I can't miss all kinds of information, because a certain piece of information I read today can bring me huge profits in the future.

Gu Changqing has a sense of being taught, since then he knows the importance of making friends, he used to be with Nana and them, he learned to eat, drink and have fun, and now he is with Mike, which is really beneficial.

"It's a pity, without funds, everything is empty talk" Mike spread his hands, very helpless.

Gu Changqing suddenly smiled, she approached Mike, looked at his blue eyes, and said word by word, "Who said you don't have funds?" Gu Changqing stretched out three fingers, "Mike, I'll give you three million to make money in three years, and I'll give you forty percent of the profit."

Mike jumped up all of a sudden, exclaiming, "Three million? ”

Gu Changqing hurriedly stood up and covered his mouth, "Be quiet, don't let people hear."

Mike was so excited that even the flesh on his stomach seemed to be trembling, and under the excitement, he hugged Gu Changqing and turned around, "Helen, you are really an angel"

Gu Changqing knew that he didn't mean anything else, it was just a way to express his emotions, and Americans had always been enthusiastic, so he didn't care. After a while, Mike put her down, leaned in and whispered, "Helen, are you a princess?" Is it just for some reason that you can't make your identity public? ”

Gu Changqing laughed, "Mike, you're so smart, you can guess it."

"Okay, my Royal Highness Princess" Mike bent down to her very gentlemanly.

In the following days, the two were together whenever they had time, and most of the time they analyzed the stock market analysis data, Mike was very trustworthy and did not mention this matter to anyone, and no one knew that Gu Changqing was trading stocks with him. Even if I knew, I just thought I was speculating in short-term stocks like Catherine.

Once Catherine also said to her: "Have you invested in Mike, be careful, he will lose all your money, I warn you, don't listen." Her fingers poked into Gu Changqing's chest, in a very domineering tone.

Gu Changqing knew that she just didn't want Mike to get investment, and she didn't really care that she would lose money. She took a step back and smiled faintly, "It's okay to lose all of it, I don't care about that money"

Catherine, who was choked on the spot, couldn't speak, Mike sat behind and laughed vigorously, giving Gu Changqing a thumbs up

Living abroad is of course not to cause trouble, but if others do not respect you, you have to swallow your anger, which will only fuel the arrogance of the other party and bully you.

Since trading stocks with Mike, Mike has given her three books, all of which are as thick as Cihai

"Securities Analysis" Warren Buffett said that every investor should read this book more than ten times, I have read it six times, and I am reading it seven times.

"The Smart Investor" Warren Buffett said that this is the greatest book of all time

"How to Choose Growth Stocks" Warren Buffett said that using Fisher's skills, you can quickly understand this industry...... Help you make the right investment decision

Helen, if you read these first, you will have half a foot in the stock world, and you will not be unaware of what I say in the future."

He put these three books into Gu Changqing's arms, and her whole body sank, and her face fell

"Read these well, and only step into half a foot?" She flipped through the top "Securities Analysis", which was densely packed with English, like an ant.

Gu Changqing suddenly had the urge to die.

Every night, she would review the lessons she had recorded during the day until she understood them completely. Then the next time is to read these three books, and the dormitory usually turns off the lights at 11 o'clock at night. After the lights went out, Gu Changqing used a flashlight to read, and he had to see two things late at night, first of all, it was very difficult to read, and it took almost an hour to read a page, because he had to constantly turn the dictionary. These professional books are naturally boring and difficult to understand, and she can't stick to it several times, making excuses for herself in her heart, as long as she gives the money to Mike, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand. Aren't many people leaving their stocks to brokers?

But is that really the case? If it's just a simple investment, it can naturally be like this, but she wants to become a person who can compete with Kong Qingxiang in the mall, and this knowledge is essential. Moreover, no one in this world is reliable on their own. Whatever the case may be, people can be very passive once they become dependent

Thinking of this, she forced herself to concentrate again, and slowly saw some interest, and became familiar with those professional words, and the speed of reading was faster.

Fortunately, she has always practiced martial arts and is physically strong, even if she can only sleep five or six hours a day, it doesn't matter. It took her a month and a half to read all three books.

Just after reading these three books, her roommate came. ()
