Chapter XXIV Futures

On the tenth day of the first month, the third year of high school started early.

At the beginning of this semester, everyone felt a different atmosphere.

Mu Feng will write on the blackboard at the back every day how many days there are until the college entrance examination according to the arrangement of the head teacher Lao Zhang, reminding everyone that the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer.

There are more and more teachers in each subject self-study class in the morning and in the evening, and in each self-study class, there are teachers wandering around the class, as long as the students have problems, the teachers immediately rush over to solve them, respond to all requests, and answer all questions.

Of course, the most people who wander around the classroom are Lao Zhang. This is a teacher who has led many senior high school seniors and has rich practical experience. Anyone who is noisy, depressed, too nervous, and unable to learn will be invited to his office to talk. Most of the students in the class have been interviewed by Lao Zhang, and some of them have been interviewed more than once or twice.

Although Mu Feng has not been interviewed, he has also been a little absent-minded recently.

As the sixteenth day of the first lunar month approached, he was pondering how to make his second brother-in-law give up buying futures and avoid bankruptcy.

During the Spring Festival, I told Zhang Jianguo a few times, but it had no effect. He didn't dare to tell his second aunt, because judging from Zhang Jianguo's performance, the second aunt didn't know about him buying futures at all, and if he knew, the two might have a family war. It can't be directly said that Zhang Jianguo will definitely pay compensation, otherwise he will either be treated as a psychopath, or as a half-fairy, and may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, which is not what Mu Feng wants.

During this time, Mu Feng specially found a bookstore to buy a book introducing futures, although the principle is not complicated, but Mu Feng always felt that he was in the clouds, and he was not very supportive, and he would definitely not be able to convince the second brother-in-law by learning and selling now.

After chatting with his second brother-in-law a few times, Mu Feng could hear that Zhang Jianguo bought futures and made some money, and he was very confident, thinking that he basically had the vision and ability to march into a wider and higher field.

"If you can't stop the second brother-in-law from buying futures, can you turn a bad thing into a good thing?" This thought only flashed in Mu Feng's brain, and immediately a strong excitement and excitement filled his body. The second brother-in-law later said several times that it would be good if it was bought on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. This incident affected him too much, and he should not be mistaken. At the time, he must have been short on a future, and it turned out that he should have gone long. ”

Thinking of this, Mu Feng had a plan, and he decided to take a risk.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Zhang Jianguo was ready to go to Guanghua City, and the futures exchange was also open on this day. It was Thursday, and Zhang Jianguo had to be on duty every Thursday, that is, he drove to the Guanghua Post Office to hand over the mail.

A few years ago, Zhang Jianguo closed all the futures positions, the money was in his pocket, he made a small profit, and also avoided the uncertainties during the Spring Festival, which is the common experience of many veterans who speculate in futures.

After the year, Zhang Jianguo wanted to enter the market as soon as possible and make money as soon as possible. He could almost see that happy days were coming.

This day is not a weekend, and of course, the futures market never goes to work on weekends, which is the constant sense of superiority of the securities industry for decades.

Zhang Jianguo didn't want to take Mu Feng out at first, for fear of delaying his studies, and was complained by Mu Congfang, but he couldn't withstand Mu Feng's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he agreed to take him to open his eyes, but the premise was that both of them had to keep it secret from home. Fortunately, Yuehua County is not far from Guanghua City, go in the morning and come back in the afternoon.

It didn't take much effort for Mu Feng to ask Zhang Zelin for leave, and teachers often had little resistance to good students. The trouble lies in Mu Feng's withdrawal of money from the passbook, at this time everyone is still used to using the passbook to deposit and withdraw money, and each stroke is clearly marked. The passbook is placed in Zhou Guilan's place, and whoever needs money will ask her for it.

When Mu Feng told his mother Zhou Guilan that he wanted to take 50,000 yuan, Zhou Guilan was stunned. Although their family has earned more than 300,000 yuan in the past half a year, they still have to take out 50,000 yuan at one time, and Zhou Guilan has repeatedly asked the reason.

Mu Feng had to prevaricate and say that the volume of goods in Yiwu next time was very large, and Zhuang Jingxian wanted a deposit. It is true that the volume of goods is very large next time, but Zhuang Jingxian's deposit is fake, and now the two parties have trusted each other very much, and there is no need for deposits and guarantees. But it has always been Mu Feng and Zhuang Jingxian's contact, and Zhou Guilan can only give the passbook to Mu Feng suspiciously to withdraw money.

Zhang Jianguo drove the postal car to Guanghua with Mu Feng early in the morning, the car entered the city post office, quickly unloaded the mail, and quickly loaded the mail, they put the car at the post office, and walked to the Guanghua Futures Exchange, which is not far from the post office.

At half past nine in the morning, in the hall of Guanghua Futures Exchange, there was a lot of people.

In front of the large red and green displays, some sat on public seats, and more people stood, all looking up at the rows of red or green characters, and some took out small books to quickly remember something.

Zhang Jianguo was very excited as soon as he entered the exchange, met a few old friends, and happily greeted him. An old friend surnamed Liu enthusiastically chatted with Zhang Jianguo about the New Year and the futures market.

Mu Feng took the opportunity to tell Zhang Jianguo that he was shopping on the exchange, so he quietly went to the front desk to open an account for himself.

"Lao Zhang, look at it, soybeans are about to fall." Mu Feng returned to Zhang Jianguo's side and saw Lao Liu pointing to the display screen and said.

"Yes, I judge that soybeans are also going to fall, and I just closed my position a few years ago." Zhang Jianguo stared at the index of soybean futures.

"Last year, there was a bumper soybean harvest across the country, and the news network was broadcast. According to the law of prices, soybeans will definitely fall. I've been working on it for months. It's time to make a move. Lao Liu put his arm around Zhang Jianguo's shoulders and said.

I don't know why, Mu Feng has a feeling that this person surnamed Liu is not like a good person.

"Look, look, soybeans are falling, soybeans are falling. Xiaofeng, hurry, hurry up to the front desk and get a few lists, hurry! "Opportunities in the futures market are always fleeting, and Zhang Jianguo urged Mu Feng to get the subscription order.

Mu Feng trotted to the front desk to get the subscription order and gave it to Zhang Jianguo. Zhang Jianguo tore a sheet for Lao Liu, took a pen and quickly filled it in, and handed it to Mu Feng to hand it over at the front desk.

Mu Feng took a quick look, Zhang Jianguo filled in the short "soybeans", with a unit price of 412 yuan per ton, an amount of "2 million", and a margin of "20,000".

Mu Feng thought to himself, this should be the list that bankrupted Zhang Jianguo in his previous life, no wonder he lost so much at that time, he used 100 times the leverage.

In 1998, the futures market was not standardized, and it was allowed to use 20,000 yuan to repay 2 million guarantees. If you win, high leverage will double the profit, which is also the reason why some people get rich overnight, but if the price fluctuates a little in the opposite direction, 20,000 yuan is not enough for a tremor at all, and it will soon be forced to close the position, and there will be no return. The futures market is never short of stories of rich people turning into losers overnight.

Last time, Zhang Jianguo opened this transaction, I am afraid that he lost all the margin.

"Quick, quick, Xiaofeng, give the list to the front desk to subscribe." Zhang Jianguo gave the list to Mu Feng and urged him to hand it over.

Mu Feng didn't leave, but looked at Zhang Jianguo and asked, "What about the money and futures account opening certificate?" ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, how to subscribe if you don't pay." Zhang Jianguo took out a bulging envelope from his underwear pocket, handed it to Mu Feng and said, "Go quickly, it is money and futures certificates, don't tell your second aunt when you go back." Mu Feng guessed that Zhang Jianguo estimated that he had taken out all the family's savings.

Mu Feng took the money and quickly ran to the front desk, and when he ran to the front desk, he glanced back, and saw that Zhang Jianguo and Lao Liu were still happily discussing on the big screen, not paying attention to themselves, and immediately changed the "short" on Zhang Jianguo's list to "long", and then filled in a list for himself, which was also long, also 100 times leverage, but the margin was "50,000", and Zhang Jianguo's futures certificate and the money of the two people were handed over to the trader.

The trader was a young girl in uniform, and when she saw the amount on the subscription form, she looked at Mu Feng, who looked like a high school student, and although she was a little surprised, she quickly registered the transaction information on the two futures certificates.

Returning to Zhang Jianguo from the front desk, Zhang Jianguo was chatting with Lao Liu. Mu Feng returned the futures warrant to Zhang Jianguo, and he carefully put it in his underwear pocket without looking at it.

"Knock-knock-knock----" The old Big Ben on the west wall of the market hall struck eleven times. Zhang Jianguo was about to leave, but the car was still at the post office, and it was said that the car with mail could not leave people.

When walking out in the bustling flow of people, Zhang Jianguo glanced back at the futures screen, "It's not good, why did the price of soybeans start to rise!?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a small fluctuation, don't be nervous at all, the general trend is definitely down, don't worry." I'm staring here, and I'll call you as soon as there is a situation. Lao Liu persuaded Zhang Jianguo beside him, as if he was afraid that he would turn around and come back to close the position.

Zhang Jianguo smiled a little unnaturally, shook hands with Lao Liu, and said, "If there is news, report it in time." Then he pulled Mu Feng and hurried back to the city post office to pick up the car.

On the way back to Yuehua County, Zhang Jianguo drove excitedly.

"Xiaofeng, see, knowledge is money. As long as you learn the principle of futures, it is inevitable to make money. ”

"Second brother-in-law, you said that the soybean market is so obvious, why didn't Uncle Liu do it?"

"Huh? That's right, why didn't Lao Liu make a move just now? Hey, whatever, let's just make a move. Zhang Jianguo frowned, but then said: "Don't worry, it only takes a week, and when we come back next Thursday, we will earn at least tens of thousands." ”。

Mu Feng looked at Zhang Jianguo, he had fallen into the joy of being a rich man.

After returning from Guanghua, Mu Feng was a little nervous. He knew that history had begun to change since he was reborn back to ninety-seven years, but he didn't know if the trend of futures would also change this time. If it changes, his own loss is still secondary, and the second brother-in-law is afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of his previous life.
