Man Kwong-yu is the head of the department and has a separate office.

There are bookcases, newspaper clips, and a small sofa with a coffee table.

There is a stack of manuscripts piled up on the desk, and there is a pot of bamboo in the corner of the table, which is growing very well.

Wen Guangyu took out a paper cup from the bookcase and made a cup of green tea for Ma Xiaofei.

The two sat down, and Ma Xiaofei helped Wen Guangyu light a cigarette:

"Teacher Wen, excuse me to give you a weekend break."

Wen Guangyu spat out a puff of cigarette and said, "The newspaper's schedule hasn't changed, I'm going to work today, what manuscripts did you bring this time?" ”

Ma Xiaofei took out a few squares of manuscript paper from his bag and handed them over: "I brought 4 manuscripts, Mr. Wen, please take a look." ”

Wen Guangyu took the manuscript, looked attentive, and after reading it for a while, he said:

"Ho, two little second-rate people, in broad daylight, dare to go to the health center to rob Du Lengding.

This social news is quite vivid, and I will help you forward it to the General Information Department.

The other 3 manuscripts are all good, and I will keep them in the supplement.

Your manuscript is concise and vivid, and the editor doesn't need to change it, and everyone likes it.

This hand of pen writing is really beautiful, Director Wang, who loves calligraphy in the Ministry of Importance, praised your handwriting for being beautiful two days ago......"

Ma Xiaofei kept smiling, with a deaf look.

Every time he came to the newspaper to contribute, Wen Guangyu always praised him.

Ma Xiaofei handed over another cigarette and asked, "Teacher Wen, will the newspaper recruit reporters recently?" ”

Wen Guangyu was curious: "Do you have relatives who are about to graduate?" ”

Ma Xiaofei shook his head and smiled: "No, Mr. Wen, I want to be a reporter myself." ”

Wen Guangyu was a little surprised: "Xiaofei, you are the deputy director of the Finance Institute at such a young age, with your talent, in a few years, maybe you will be the deputy mayor." ”

Ma Xiaofei said: "Teacher Wen, you also know that township cadres are a panacea, and their work is quite miscellaneous, and I prefer simple work like a newspaper." ”

Wen Guangyu took a puff of his cigarette, thought about it, and persuaded:

"If you want to be transferred to the newspaper, you don't have a particularly hard relationship, so don't think about it at all.

The 91 newspaper was open to recruit reporters, and I got a high score in the written test, and the president at that time was still a student taught by my mother, so I still struggled a lot to squeeze in.

In 92, I went to the Beijing Institute of Radio and Television for another year of study, and in 93 I officially transferred the working relationship from the supply and marketing cooperative. ”

Ma Xiaofei just smiled slightly: "Teacher Wen, I don't care if I can transfer the working relationship." ”

Wen Guangyu thought about it again and said:

"Recently, there was an opportunity for the supplement of Jinyang Daily to be changed to a weekend edition.

Study the "Western Metropolis Daily" founded by the provincial newspaper this year, and run a weekend edition of the citizens' life newspaper, which will be published on Saturdays and Sundays.

Discussions are still underway within the newspaper and the initial plan is to recruit six to eight journalists openly.

At your level, you don't need to take the exam, you can go straight to work.

It's just that you have to think about it yourself, it's just a recruitment of journalists, it's not compiled. ”

Ma Xiaofei said: "Teacher Wen, I really don't care if there is an establishment or not.

This year, the county has a policy of suspending pay and leaving their posts, encouraging township and town cadres to go to the sea to generate income. ”

Wen Guangyu said: "I also know about this matter, it is a document issued by the city.

The main thing is to solve the redundant problem of the eight members of the township and township, and you can leave your post without pay for three years, right? ”

Ma Xiaofei said: "Yes, we have more than 110 people in the Long'an Town Government, and there are more than 50 supernumerary employees. ”

Wen Guangyu thought about it again and said, "That's it, you think about it yourself first, and I'll let you know when the weekend edition recruits reporters is decided." ”

Ma Xiaofei handed Wen Guangyu a cigarette again: "Teacher Wen, thank you, I'll go to the reading room to read the newspaper." ”

Wen Guangyu nodded and smiled: "You go, I'm just about to deal with the manuscript." ”

Wen Guangyu also knew that every time Ma Xiaofei went to the newspaper office, he would go to the reading room to read the newspaper.

In a township like Long'an, there are only four or five party newspapers. The newspaper office can exchange newspapers free of charge with counterparts from all over the country, and there are dozens of newspapers in the reading room.

Ma Xiaofei went to the reading room on the third floor, sat down for less than an hour, and quickly flipped through more than a dozen newspapers.

Until I turned to a Shuchuan financial newspaper published two days ago.

On the comment page, the words [3.27 Treasury Bond Futures Incident] jumped into view, and Ma Xiaofei was stunned for a moment.

“5.18？”

After reading this review carefully, Ma Xiaofei slapped it on the door of his head:

"Yes, in 1995, treasury bond futures were suspended, and there was a brief 5.18 market in A-shares!"

Back in 1995, a week later, he finally found the opportunity to dig out the first pot of gold, and Ma Xiaofei instantly became a lot more steady.

He also didn't want to read the newspaper anymore, nothing could be more important than the "5.18" market three days later.

In 2001, Ma Xiaofei started to do stocks, and he once lost blood, but in 2015, he achieved a net worth of hundreds of millions.

In 2016, Ma Xiaofei began to do private equity full-time, and by 2021, the fund size was close to 6 billion.

After that, it's unbearable.

has been a private equity firm for several years, and even once famously in the circle, Ma Xiaofei has naturally studied the major events of large A-shares over the years.

In 1995, the A-share market was opened for less than 5 years, and there was no limit on the rise and fall.

Although the "5.18" market was short-lived, the Shanghai Composite Index soared +60% in three days.

Three consecutive days of blowouts......

Look at the time, it's just after 11 a.m.

Ma Xiaofei hurried to Wen Guangyu's office and handed over another cigarette:

"Teacher Wen, I have something to go back to Long'an, next time I come to Jinyang, I will invite you to dinner."

Wen Guangyu nodded and smiled, and asked again, "Xiaofei, have you run out of manuscript paper and interview books?" ”

Ma Xiaofei said: "It's almost finished, please trouble Mr. Wen, help me get a copy each." ”

Wen Guangyu opened the bookcase and took out a checkered manuscript paper and a palm-sized green interview book printed with Jinyang Daily.

I have known Ma Xiaofei for almost two years, and Wen Guangyu admires him very much and provides convenience for Ma Xiaofei as much as possible.

Other correspondents of the newspaper, in Wen Guangyu's place, do not have this kind of treatment, and they have to buy the manuscript paper themselves.

After Ma Xiaofei thanked him, he walked downstairs quickly, walked to the street, stopped a taxi, and rushed to the central bus station.

When I went to the station, the next shuttle back to Long'an Town was 11:40 a.m.

Ma Xiaofei bought a ticket, a bag of bread and a bottle of mineral water.

At noon, a somewhat dilapidated minibus drove on an asphalt road in the countryside.

In front of the front windshield, there is a travel sign with the words "Jinyang-Longan".

On both sides of the road, smoke curls from the villages.

In the fields, farmers are in groups of threes and fives, wearing straw hats, rolling up their trouser legs, and bending down to plant seedlings under the scorching sun.

Rows of seedlings stood up, and the white paddy fields also changed to green makeup......

Ma Xiaofei sat by the window, chewing bread and drinking mineral water, looking at these busy farmers in the field, thinking of his parents and sister's family in his hometown.

These days, they will also go out early and return late like this, bending their waists in the fields all day.

Back in 1995, Ma Xiaofei had not returned to his hometown.

He hasn't figured out how to go in this life.

It wasn't until yesterday that he turned out a few manuscripts in the dormitory desk that Ma Xiaofei had a preliminary plan.

I had to start with the familiar media industry, but three years earlier......
