My Side Job is a Trader

For this kind of group activity, as long as it is not mandatory to participate, Zhang Xin will not participate if he can not participate, and Changzhou Shajiabang does not have any interesting projects.

Ou Xiaoyong saw that Wei Caijun had just looked for Zhang Xin, so he also came to inquire about the situation, and Zhang Xin told him Wei Caijun's purpose for looking for him.

"You should follow along to play, anyway, you don't have to spend your own money, and you can have an extra day off."

Zhang Xin shook his head and said, "Let's forget it. Besides, we also have projects. I can't go on a trip without everyone alone. Besides, I don't know anyone else well, so it feels a bit weird to go with them."

Ou Xiaoyong is also a programmer himself, so he understands certain characteristics of programmers very well.

But Zhang Xin did not explain.

After get off work, Zhang Xin stopped by to buy some daily necessities, and Zhang Xin planned to stay at home for two days on weekends.

During the two days on weekends, since we need to meditate for four hours a day, we just divide the time into four hours. Generally, it takes at least one day to go shopping or have dinner with friends. Four hours is enough for Zhang Xin to go back and forth from Sheshan to the city.

Plans can never keep up with change.

There was a piece of bad news in the financial news on Saturday.

Immediately after the afternoon, it was reported that the government intends to carry out a restructuring of the steel industry to eliminate some heavily polluting steel enterprises.

This news can be described as bullish. After all, if the government really implements this policy, it will inevitably have an impact on steel production.

After a day, bad and bullish news spread at the same time, so Zhang Xin is not sure how the market will develop next week.

Of course, from the perspective of the big cycle, it must be bullish. After all, the sixth sense will not deceive people. The question is when will the market rise.

After all, it is a complete waste to put funds on a futures product that has not risen. Now Zhang Xin is very short of money, and he can't wait to use one dollar as two dollars.

After finishing his practice on Sunday morning, Zhang Xin drove to the nearby hardware market to have a look.

No matter what news comes out from the outside, the price in the spot market is there. You only need to find out the transaction price of rebar and compare it with the previous historical price to get a general idea of ​​the steel market trend.

The hardware market looked a bit chaotic, with dozens or even hundreds of stores selling all kinds of materials. Due to the variety of products, it looked chaotic, and many stores also had some products outside.

Most of the shops didn't seem to be doing well, and some shopkeepers even got together to play cards or chat.

Zhang Xin walked through hardware stores, pretending that he was here to buy things.

Some shopkeepers are very enthusiastic. Seeing Zhang Xin wandering around, they hurried up to ask what they need.

Zhang Xin waved his hand, indicating that he would take a look first.

After walking around, Zhang Xin randomly found a store that sold rebar.

"Boss, how do you sell your rebar?"

Seeing a customer coming to the store, the shopkeeper put away his mobile phone, took a look at Zhang Xin, and replied, "Our grade 4 special rebar steel is 1755 tons per ton. The factory sells directly, and we can get a discount for large quantities."

"Is there any other kind of rebar?"

"There is also a third-grade anti-seismic rebar, and the price is similar."

Zhang Xin took the two samples from the boss, pretended to observe the steel material, and knocked the two steel materials against each other a few times.

"Why haven't you paid attention to it for more than a year? The price of rebar is so low now."

Hearing this, the boss said angrily: "Since last year, the price of rebar has been falling all the way. Now, to put it bluntly, it is not as expensive as cabbage. Now a ton of cabbage can be bought for at least two thousand yuan." Well, boss, do you think so?"

Zhang Xin laughed dryly, as if he didn't hear the boss's complaint, and then asked: "Then there must be a reason? I think real estate is booming now. Logically speaking, there should be a huge demand for steel on construction sites. "

"There is indeed a lot of demand, but it can't support the steel factory's shipments. Our suppliers' warehouses are full, and our peers are actually similar."

The boss also saw that Zhang Xin had no intention of buying, but there were very few people in the store, so the boss was willing to chat with Zhang Xin for a while, just to pass the boring time.

"Boss, if you want rebar, you'd better buy it early. I received news from upstream manufacturers that the country will implement energy-saving and emission-reduction policies. Many of our upstream steel mills may be implicated by this. In the future, steel production will not be so high." Exaggerated."

Zhang Xin jokingly said: "Boss, is your news reliable? Is it okay to just spread it like this?"

The middle-aged store owner shook his head: "What's the problem? Basically, everyone in the industry knows that there should be no problem with reliability. After all, our downstream stores and upstream manufacturers are grasshoppers on the same rope."

Zhang Xin nodded and thanked the owner.

Next, Zhang Xin visited several stores one after another, and through conversations, he found that everyone knew the same news.

Now that spot prices are starting to recover, that also means that futures prices should also rise.

Zhang Xin felt that the market would rise next week, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​withdrawing funds first.

I settled it at a fast food restaurant at noon, and then took out my mobile phone to check what places worth visiting nearby. After all, I have gone out, so I might as well play until the afternoon, as long as I catch up with the meditation in the evening.

Through the map, Zhang Xin discovered that there was a film and television base nearby. Zhang Xin suddenly became interested. Since there was nothing else to do, he might as well go to the film and television base.

Driving to the Chedun film and television base, passing by a waste collection station, Zhang Xin deliberately stopped and asked how much the scrap iron was recycled.

Zhang Xin checked the scrap iron recycling price some time ago, and found that even the scrap iron recycling price has increased, indicating that the later price increase of steel is a high probability event, which also confirms Zhang Xin's judgment on the future market of rebar.

Putting the rebar matter out of his mind, Zhang Xin continued to drive to the film and television base.

Originally, Zhang Xin thought that the film and television base was a place open to the public, so he walked straight in without asking any questions, but was forcibly stopped by the security guard at the door, and motioned Zhang Xin to go to the side to buy a ticket to enter.

Zhang Xin felt very embarrassed instantly, apologized to the security guard in a hurry, and then spent dozens of dollars to buy a ticket.

Most of the buildings in the base have restored the architectural style of old Shanghai. Being in it, it seems as if you have traveled through time and space and returned to the magical capital where people are drunk and forget their lives.

When Zhang Xin was wandering among the buildings full of the style of the Republic of China, he finally saw a crew filming, and many tourists stood around the crew quietly watching the crew filming.

Zhang Xin found a slightly higher place, carefully observed the actors who were filming, and found that they were all unfamiliar faces, and Zhang Xin was a little disappointed when he didn't see any familiar stars.

After watching it for a while, I found it boring, so Zhang Xin continued to appreciate various buildings, and when he saw some familiar buildings, he would recall which movie they appeared in.

While Zhang Xin was walking and watching, a girl dragging a suitcase hurriedly walked towards Zhang Xin.
