My Side Job is a Trader

Chapter 80: A Journey to Sioux City

Zhang Xin said happily: "Come on, Dad is worthy of being the head of the family, and you are really like this today."

As he spoke, Zhang Xin gave Zhang Boyu a thumbs up.

As soon as the words finished, He Cuizhen put down the bowls and chopsticks, and coughed lightly. Zhang Boyu quickly explained: "Well, the main reason is that children have filial piety. It just so happens that we can also visit our future in-laws and visit the Forbidden City by the way. Haven't you always Tell me, do you want to see what the palace where the ancient emperor lived in looked like?"

He Cuizhen asked back: "Then we don't work? Anyway, we are going to retire soon, and we will have plenty of time in the future."

Zhang Xin quickly persuaded: "Mom, can we not be so stingy, at worst, I will pay you the wages for taking a few days off."

He Cuizhen's tone was not very firm when she heard the words: "If you have money, it's not you? Take money seriously and don't squander it."

When Zhang Xin heard this, he knew that there was something to be done, so he continued: "This time our family will come over, so we can discuss the details of the engagement, where the girl and I will live in the future, and the details of the wedding ceremony. .”

He Cuizhen lowered her voice and asked, "Son, tell Mom, how much money do you have?"

In order to strengthen his mother's belief, Zhang Xin confessed honestly: "I still have 10 to 20 million. But more than 10 million has been put in the company, which means I can't use it casually. The rest is basically Either in the stock market or in the futures market, the cash in the card is estimated to be two to three million."

He Cuizhen and Zhang Boyu glanced at each other and slapped Zhang Xin: "Stinky boy, you have so much money and you don't tell your parents. We always thought you only had a few million, and we wanted to save some money for you to support you in buying a house." Woolen cloth."

Zhang Xin said helplessly: "Mom, I've been telling you not to work so hard. It's easy for my son to earn money now. Now I only need to spend five minutes a day to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. You think I will be short of money. ?"

He Cuizhen was immediately shocked. She knew that she wanted to make money in finance, but she didn't expect to make money like this. It was simply stealing money, even faster than stealing money.

"Okay, then let's go to the capital to play for a few days, ask your elder sister, if you have time, go together, and the whole family will go to the capital together."

"Okay, then I'll ask someone to buy the ticket first, and when I come back from Sucheng, we'll go to the capital."

Zhang Xin sent a message to Zhang Qingqing, asking her to book four high-speed rail business seat tickets in two days' time tomorrow, preferably with consecutive seats.

"Are you going to Sioux City? We both visited that place when we were young."

Zhang Xin explained: "There was an incident in the past, and no one was in charge of the company. This time, I will invite my old classmate to help me start the company."

Zhang Boyu and He Cuizhen didn't know anything about finance or starting a company, so they didn't intervene to avoid embarrassment.

After dinner, Zhang Xin slept in the hotel last night because he drank some wine. The next day, he drove directly to Hongqiao Railway Station and took the high-speed train to Sioux City.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange is very fast from Suzhou City, and the high-speed train will arrive in half an hour.

As soon as I got out of the train station, I saw an antique city wall and a huge statue of Fan Zhongyan.

Zhang Xin didn't waste any time, and directly took a taxi to the address given by Wang Shen.

After driving for nearly an hour, they arrived at the villa area where Wang Shen was.

I called Wang Shen, and after waiting for a long time, someone answered.

Five minutes later, the bleary-eyed Wang Shen came to the security room and led Zhang Xin to his house.

"Have you been trading US stocks overnight?"

"Of course, I was sleeping soundly, and I was woken up by your phone call."

Back at the villa, Wang Shen asked him to sit for a while, then made him a cup of tea, and went to wash himself.

Zhang Xin stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, looking at the scenery of Taihu Lake not far away, the time passed quite quickly.

Twenty minutes later, Wang Shen took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

"How is it? The scenery here is good, right? When our family bought this villa, it was my final decision."

"It's really good. I am very familiar with Taihu Lake. When I was a child, my parents ran boats and often had to cross Taihu Lake. Therefore, my impression of Taihu Lake is that besides the pleasant scenery, there is also a kind of fear."

Wang Shen came to the window and said, "Taihu Lake is really scary in windy and rainy weather. The waves are one meter high."

"Not only that, when I was a child, I witnessed the Taihu Lake shipwreck with my own eyes, which brought a great psychological shadow to me."

Wang Shen picked up the car keys on the coffee table and said to Zhang Xin, "Let's go, let's drive to Xishan, where we can appreciate the scenery of Taihu Lake."

Just as he was going out, he met Wang Shen's mother, who learned of Zhang Xin's identity and told Wang Shen to have fun with his old classmates.

"Is this the first time I met your mother? It seems that your father went to Jinling before."

"Yes, haven't you met my dad? When I graduated, my dad went to spend the winter with us and brought us two bottles of sweet-scented osmanthus wine."

Zhang Xin thought about it for a while, and there was indeed such a thing.

As the car drove up the long Taihu Lake Bridge, Zhang Xin stared at the distance from the bridge, and many scenes gradually merged with the memories in his mind.

"I remember my parents used to run a boat. If they were going to Suzhou, the boat would pass under the bridge, drive inward, and then pass through the lock at Suzhou Port and enter the Suzhou Creek."

Zhang Xin gestured with his hands while watching to prove that he had indeed been to Taihu Lake.

"In the past, boat runners would divide Taihu Lake into Big Taihu Lake and Little Taihu Lake. The one near Suzhou is the Little Taihu Lake. Generally, if you sail into the Little Taihu Lake, there is not much risk. The Big Taihu Lake is dangerous, especially when the wind is strong. At that time, I often heard about shipwreck accidents."

Wang Shen said: "Okay, I'm going to introduce the scenery of Taihu Lake to you. It seems that you are more familiar with it than I am. I'm a bit tricky."

"Don't worry, I've only seen Xishan from a distance, and I haven't really come up to play. If there are any interesting and delicious things, I still need you to introduce them to me."

"Let's go, I'll take you to Qingfeng Temple first. Aren't you curious about where I learned to meditate? This time I'll let you go and see the original Taoist meditation."

After the development and development, Xishan has become very prosperous, at least much more prosperous than Zhang Xin remembered.

Without entering the county town, the car drove directly along the ring road to the top of the mountain.

After more than ten minutes, Zhang Xin saw several antique buildings located in the dense forest.

Wang Shen parked the car on the parking lot, and then led Zhang Xin along the stone-paved steps to the gymnasium step by step.

Walking into the Taoist hall, the two put a stick of incense on the statue of Sanqing, and then asked the young Taoist next to him, "Is Taoist Master Songfeng here? I brought my friend here to visit him."

The young Taoist bowed to the two of them, and replied: "Uncle Master is in the backyard, you can just go and find him yourself."

On the way to the backyard, Wang Shen said: "Most Taoist priests and monks are professional now, responsible for managing and operating Taoist temples, but Taoist Master Songfeng really has real skills, and you will see him later."
