My Side Job is a Trader

The People’s Square subway station is very large, and there are more than a dozen exits. Although Zhang Xin has been here a few times, he is not very familiar with it. The two of them can only follow the signs and walk as long as they can go out to the ground. Know the way.

Coming out of the subway exit, there is a busy road outside. Zhang Xin looked around for a while, and saw the big world across the road, and then determined the approximate location.

"We walked north along the road, walked around the subway station, and ended up running far."

Wang Shen had already turned on the map on his mobile phone, and he heard the words and followed him to the north, but after a few steps, he stopped suddenly and asked, "Is there an art gallery near here? Anyway, there is nothing to do on the weekend, why don't you go and see it first?" See an art exhibition?"

Zhang Xin stared at Wang Shen, as if meeting him for the first time.

"What are you looking at? I know I'm handsome, but there's no need to pay special attention to me."

"I've never seen anyone as brazen as you."

Zhang Xin gestured with his middle finger, but he still walked towards the art gallery.

"Did I say that you are still the Great God I know? Didn't expect you to know how to appreciate art? Come, tell me a masterpiece of Monet."

Zhang Xin and Wang Shen became roommates in their junior year, and they got to know each other fairly well after two years of university life.

Wang Shen was dressed in slovenly clothes, exuding a strong smell of diao silk all over his body, and even Zhang Xin felt that it was a blasphemy to the artist to bring him to the art gallery to see the art exhibition.

Due to the weekend, many people came to see the art exhibition, and many of them brought their children to increase their knowledge.

Although there are many people, the spacious room is very quiet. Even the naughty children, under the restraint of their parents, look around quietly although they are curious.

For Zhang Xin and Wang Shen, watching the art exhibition is purely for pretense, because they don't understand painting at all, and even saw some abstract works, Wang Shen whispered: "I'll go, this is also called Painting? Isn’t this just picking up a paintbrush, dipping some paint, and then flicking it directly on the canvas, isn’t it like this?”

Zhang Xin shrugged, saying that he didn't know how to paint either.

The two walked along the gallery, browsing casually, basically looking at the painting first, and then reading the introduction next to it, one work is considered finished.

Suddenly Wang Shen stopped in front of a painting.

Zhang Xin walked over curiously, and there was an oil painting of tulips hanging on the wall.

"What's the matter? There's nothing special about this painting?"

Zhang Xin carefully read the introduction next to it, and couldn't understand why Wang Shen was interested in this painting.

Wang Shen explained in a low voice: "I'm not interested in paintings, I'm interested in the tulips in the paintings. Because when I see tulips, I think of an event in history."

Zhang Xin signaled Wang Shen to continue.

"In the 17th century, the Netherlands accumulated huge wealth due to great voyages. At that time, tulips had just been introduced to Western Europe from Turkey. Due to the small number, each tulip was very valuable, and even tulips were regarded as a symbol of wealth and glory."

"Thus, after the hype by people with good intentions, the price of tulips has been rising steadily. At the most exaggerated time, a tulip can be exchanged for a big house."

"Later, people started to participate in it frantically, expecting the price of tulips to be one step closer. Then, in a short period of time, the price of tulips suddenly collapsed, and many people lost their fortunes."

"This incident became the 'Tulip Bubble Incident'."

After listening to the story, Zhang Xin thought for a while, and said, "This matter seems to be similar to today's stock market. You only need to exchange tulips for stocks, and it's completely the same thing."

Wang Shen looked at the oil painting and said with a smile: "The tulip bubble incident is also the first financial bubble economy recorded in history. This is a wake-up call for countless financial practitioners. It's a pity that this painting is not for sale, otherwise I would have bought it." Come down and hang on the wall in front of my computer, always remind myself not to be greedy."

Zhang Xin gave a thumbs up: "As expected of the Great God Wang, he pretended to be good. I won't support you even if I don't support the wall."

Seeing that the shopping around was almost over, the two decided to go out first.

"What? Are you questioning that I can't afford that painting? Anyway, I'm worth tens of millions."

Zhang Xin gave him a disdainful look, and said, "Then why are you dressed like a diaosi? If you don't believe me, let's just find a passerby and ask us who looks like a rich second generation."

Wang Shen replied: "You are all a group of ordinary people who simply label a person by dressing. I dress like this to show that I am low-key."

"Put it down, you just don't know how to dress up. Let's not talk about it, it's dinner time, why don't we find a place to eat first?"

Wang Shen habitually took out his mobile phone and opened Meituan to check the surrounding delicacies.

"How about we eat RB cuisine? I haven't eaten for a long time."

"What? The thing that eats sashimi?"

Zhang Xin has never eaten RB cuisine, and he is a bit resistant to eating raw food.

Wang Shen persuaded: "Try it, it actually tastes pretty good, not as fishy as you imagined."

Seeing Wang Shen's insistence, Zhang Xin had no choice but to try it.

The two followed the navigation and found a Japanese grocery store located in the street next to Jinling Road. The Japanese-style decoration looked very stylish.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, the waiter began to sashimi.

Zhang Xin ate it for the first time, so he picked a small piece, dipped it in soy sauce, and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

"Huh? The taste is good! There is no fishy smell, and the soy sauce is also delicious."

"How is it? I didn't lie to you. Good ingredients can be eaten directly after processing. Not only will they not be fishy, ​​but they will also taste delicious. With special soy sauce, it is absolutely delicious."

After all, Wang Shen's family background is good, but in terms of food, Zhang Xin is far behind.

"By the way, why can't you think about being a programmer now? I thought you came to the Shanghai stock market to do financial work."

After eating the first two dishes, the hunger finally disappeared, so the two began to chat while eating.

Zhang Xin put down his chopsticks, motioned for the waiter to bring a bottle of sake, and poured Wang Shen a glass.

"It's nothing to worry about. I'm not like you. Your family is in good condition, so even if you don't look for a job, your family doesn't rush you, and they even pay to support you in full-time trading. I'm different. Live for yourself."

Zhang Xin raised his head and drank the sake in the cup with a negative tone.

Wang Shen also knew about Zhang Xin's situation, so he didn't say anything at the moment, filled Zhang Xin's wine, and said, "Come on, let's drink, today our friends get together just to be happy, those who are not happy will not go first think."

Zhang Xin drank another glass of wine and said: "It's not that I can't say it. I can't choose my background, at least I can choose my future path. Let me tell you, my goal at this stage is to save enough stock index futures as soon as possible funds."

Wang Shen exclaimed, "Currently, there are ten or tens of thousands of stock index futures, close to 200,000. It depends on your plan. Do you want to trade stock index futures?"

Zhang Xin nodded and said: "When I first learned to trade, I was doing stock index futures. Now I have no capital, so I have no choice but to trade stocks. After doing futures, I definitely don't want to trade stocks. Stocks are not exciting enough, not exciting enough, and Transactions are also not flexible enough.”

"Just brag. I saw from the beginning that your trading style is relatively stable, so you are suitable for medium and long-term trading. If you do short-term trading, you may not be able to make a single order in a day."

Before I knew it, all the dishes were ready.

Zhang Xin picked up a prawn and explained while peeling the shell with his hands: "There is no way, you are poor. After thinking about it, besides buying lottery tickets and winning big prizes, the fastest way to make money is to make futures. I also want to challenge one time."

Wang Shen looked at Zhang Xin peeling the shrimp, heard what Zhang Xin said, and said with some concern: "How can you have such a mentality? You should know the fate of those who try to gain wealth quickly through trading? Now our most important thing is to It should be continuous trial and error and summarization. I can’t guarantee profits until now, so the difficulty can be imagined.”

"Don't worry, I'm sober. I also know that a trader is most taboo against impatience and greed. That's just my goal. When I save enough funds, then there will be more choices. Unlike now, I just It can be a stock with a lower price."

Knowing that Zhang Xin hadn't lost his composure, Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and joked, "Then you have to work hard. Although a single stock index futures only costs 200,000 yuan, at least 500,000 yuan of capital verification is required, that is to say If you want to do stock index futures, you must save at least 500,000 yuan."
