Chapter 231 Stock Trader

"Hanguo Railway has reached a new high, reaching 230 million yuan..."

"Kingsoft Pharmaceuticals has exceeded the 150 million mark and is expected to usher in the second company with a market value of 200 million yuan..."

"Longjun Real Estate was listed on the Xijing Stock Exchange yesterday, with a surge of 15% on the first day. Is real estate about to rise??"

"Infrastructure stocks as a whole rose by 3% yesterday, and my country's infrastructure may usher in spring..."

A newsstand in Beimen City displays a variety of colorful newspapers and magazines, as well as the latest comics.

Next to the newsstand, there was a young man wearing a small hat.

The young man's surname was Du, and his first name was Chaoxian. This name was given by his grandfather, who said it meant transcending the immortals. Because of this name, Du Chaoxian was often laughed at when he was studying.

At the end of last year, he just graduated from Chongde Middle School in Beimen City. Because he did not go to college, he is currently working as a technician in a printing factory. The salary is not bad, which is basically enough for him to live alone. If he saves a little, he still has some surplus. .

The reason why he stayed at this newsstand was because he had always had a habit of buying expired cheap comics and always bought them early in the morning. (Han comics are counted by issue, a week or a month is counted as one issue. If the time has passed, the merchant will choose to sell it at a discount)

"Hey, young man, have you finished picking?" Because Du Chaoxian took a long time to pick, the newsstand owner was a little dissatisfied.

It is estimated that in his mind, selling at a reduced price is already a big loss.

"Boss, are there any comics from the Lost City of Behemoths series?" Du Chaoxian rummaged through the box for a few times, but couldn't find the comic he wanted to read.

"You mean those monsters? They're gone. Those things sold very well last month. They're sold out this month." The newsstand owner held a cigarette in the corner of his mouth and looked at Du Chaoxian who was rummaging through the boxes, his eyes flashing. More than a hint of disdain.

"Ah...that's what I want!!" After hearing that there was no Monster Lost City, Du Chaoxian's face suddenly changed, and his tone of voice was a little disappointed.

"What's there to see in that thing? Come on, follow me and I'll show you something good to see." The newsstand owner held the cigarette in his mouth and said to Du Chaoxian in a very ambiguous and obscene tone.

"What's good to see??" Du Chaoxian walked into the newsstand with a question mark on his face.

"You'll know in a minute..." The newsstand owner put the cigarette into his mouth, and then moved away a box with newspapers. Under the box, there was a small wooden box with some covered with velvet. Expose the corners of the paper shell.

"Young man, let me eat meat today!!" The stall owner lifted half of the velvet cloth, took out something wrapped in brown paper that looked like a magazine, and handed it directly to Du Chaoxian.

When Du Chaoxian opened it, he was shocked. He looked up at the newsstand owner who looked at him with lewd eyes. His face immediately turned red and he was at a loss.

"Old...Boss, are you breaking the law??" Du Chaoxian tremblingly held the comic book full of tempting illustrations in his hand. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any words to evaluate it. In the end, he could only use the law as an excuse. .

"What kind of laws are they breaking? It's not illegal for them to open a brothel. If I do this, I'm going to say it's immoral. Damn it, these bastards..."

"These bastards in the government office keep their own wives outside and visit brothels, and then they say what we do is immoral and morally corrupt. Damn it, I have never seen such shameless people!!"

When the newsstand owner heard about the violation, he was completely shocked. He just couldn't figure out why those sanctimonious bastards were causing trouble outside and called it romantic. He made a color cartoon and said he was He broke the law and was fined 100 yuan last time.

Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! !

After Du Chaoxian heard the boss yelling and scolding, he was a little overwhelmed. He held the comic in his hand. He wanted to read it, but he was afraid that others would know that he was a psychopath.

For a moment, I was in a dilemma! !

The newsstand owner seemed to understand his thoughts and said to Du Chaoxian directly:

"Don't worry, as long as you don't open this thing, no one will know about it. Just go back and take a look. I'm afraid you'll come to me to buy it again!!" The newsstand owner had a smile on his face that every man knows.

Du Chaoxian didn't speak, but held the comic in his hand. There were some wrinkles in his grip, which showed the great strength and strong psychological changes.

"By the way, I have others. Take a look and I'll make sure you're satisfied." The stall owner seemed to have thought of something and took out a lot of comics made by small workshops from the box.

"This looks great, Cao Cao becomes Wu Song!!"

"History of the Court of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang..."

"Liu Bang and Yu Ji!!"

"Sister-in-law, open the door..."

The newsstand owner took out a lot of comics that were enough to fine him another two hundred dollars. One by one, just looking at the covers was enough to make Du Chaoxian, who had just graduated from high school and had no experience in human affairs, blush and feel unbearable.

When Du Chaoxian walked out of the newsstand, he had put no less than five comics in a brown paper box. As for what was in it, only he himself knew.

And when I walked out of the newsstand, I suddenly felt that the thing in my hand was too eye-catching, so I ran back again.

"Why are you back again??" The newsstand owner looked at Du Chaoxian who was walking back, a little strange, "Why, you still want to buy some??" The newsstand owner seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Du Chaoxian with ambiguous eyes and tone.

"No, I mean..." Du Chaoxian then told the newsstand owner his concerns.

"This is not easy. I will share yesterday's newspaper with you. It has to be processed anyway, so I will give it to you directly!!" The newsstand owner took an old newspaper from the newsstand and handed it to Du Chaoxian and asked him to take it. In the hand, it looks less obtrusive.

Du Chaoxian looked at the newspaper, then at the cardboard box in his hand, and finally placed the newspaper on top of the cardboard box as a cover-up.

Along the way, Du Chaoxian was on tenterhooks, fearing that others would see the clues, so he trepidatiously returned to the small house he rented near the factory.

In the corridor of the rental house, there are some coal stoves set up by workers, with chimneys attached to them, similar to the stoves in northern China in later generations.

There is an iron pot on top, and there is a spice cabinet next to it. As for the food, because of the freshness problem, besides rice at home, I can only buy some when I get off work every day and cook it myself.

In the morning, I usually shop early on the street and order snacks such as steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and the most popular hamburger in Han Dynasty. (It's the kind of later generations, but it's improved in Chinese style. You can add anything, even pickled pork burgers and pineapple burgers)

After Du Chaoxian returned home, he first sorted out the remaining beer bottles in the room and sent them to the scrap factory to sell them tomorrow. (Due to the development of industry in Han Dynasty, a waste industry was derived. In fact, glass bottle recycling is the most common industry)

After doing all this, Du Chaoxian sat down on the old tawny sofa and opened the brown cardboard box.

Just when Du Chaoxian was about to take a look at the story of Cao Cao becoming Wu Song, a job advertisement attracted him.

(Xiongfeng Securities is recruiting stock traders. Applicants with a high school degree or above will be given priority. Recruitment requirements: Applicants with excellent mathematics skills will be given priority)

(The trial period is one month. After the trial period, the basic salary starts at ten Chinese yuan, and the commission is five percent)

What attracted Du Chaoxian was not the stock trader, but the shiny base salary of ten Chinese yuan.

You must know that in the printing factory, he worked as a technician and worked hard for only 12 yuan a month, and he earned it by working overtime.

And now a stock trader's base salary alone is ten yuan a month. What is the concept? If he works overtime as frequently as he does, it will only cost him seventeen or eight yuan a month, and two hundred yuan a year.

With two hundred yuan, for a person like him who relies on his salary to earn a living, after saving for a few years, he can buy a three-bedroom house in the suburbs of Xijing City.

Then marry a beautiful wife and live a life without shame. This is Du Chaoxian's biggest dream.

But the reality is that his modest dream just cannot be realized.

After all, with his dull appearance, it turned out that in the factory, he was the most talked-about person. In addition, he was too honest. All the pretty girls in the factory were deceived by those glib guys, so there was no part for him.

Now he is getting more and more bored with his job as a technician, and he always feels that there is no future. Every time he wants to change jobs, his father advises him not to aim too high, saying that he can be a technician, which is already very good, and he is better than him after all. Farming in the countryside is strong.

Then there is the nagging about who has built a new house or married a wife. In the end, there is always a word that cannot be avoided, a blind date.

Every time he heard the word "blind date", he got a headache. The women were all smart. They asked him if he had any plans to buy a house in the city. When he heard that he was working in Xijing, his eyes lit up. When he learned that he didn't have a house in Xijing, he showed disappointment again.

Although some girls said that they did not need a house in the city and would be fine living in the countryside, Du Chaoxian's taste had long been cultivated in Xijing City, and he did not like such a village girl.

At this time, Du Chaoxian looked like a pig that had eaten watermelon. Since then, he has despised carrots, but in the final analysis, he is still a pig. Originally, Du Chaoxian's original plan was to work in a printing factory for ten or eight years, work his way up to a middle-level management position, and finally live a good life drinking tea and reading newspapers with dozens of people under his command. (Xijing Printing Factory is a government-owned enterprise)

But now the job search information in this newspaper made him very energetic. He even had a vague feeling that this might be his only chance to change his destiny. If he didn't seize it, his future might be to marry someone. A not-unsightly-looking woman, after ten or twenty years of hard work, she ended up like the managers in the factory. She was middle-aged, with a big belly, holding a teacup, and she always looked like she was young. I looked as good as me back then. Its greasy...

"Xiongfeng Securities..." Du Chaoxian muttered these four characters, and the more he read them, the more energetic he became. The dirty thoughts in his mind just now disappeared, and his mind was filled with the word struggle.

Du Chaoxian looked at the unsightly comics in the box and deliberately burned them. Finally, he looked at the empty beer bottles on the ground and finally said: "From today on, quit drinking!!"

.............................................

Jinyu District, Xijing City, Caishen Street...

Looking at the huge statue of the God of Wealth and the copper coins that symbolized the stock market, Du Chaoxian blinked his eyes, and then looked at the people around him who were frequently traveling in silks, silks, and luxury carriages. Du Chaoxian always had the feeling of falling into the eyes of money. It was not a feeling. that is! !

In front of a European-style Roman column building, Du Chaoxian hesitated for a while, and finally bravely walked in.

As soon as he walked in, Du Chaoxian heard a burst of noise.

"One thousand shares of Longjing, hurry up, go and place an order..."

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry. This company is not listed yet. What you get is the original stock. Once it is listed, it will more than double."

"What the hell are you doing? Do you know that today is the day of listing? Why don't you just play with your size and shit?"

"Damn it, who poured my coffee? Do you have any humanity? What the hell..."

As soon as Du Chaoxian entered the second floor, he was immediately frightened by the situation inside. He did not expect that this place was like this. For a moment, he felt a little regretful that he took leave and took the night train and rushed to Xijing early in the morning.

"Hello..."

Du Chaoxian nervously patted the shoulder of a man wearing a Chinese suit.

"Oh, don't bother me. Do you know that I'm very busy with Four Eyes, and you still play this kind of game... You..." The man turned around impatiently, and when he saw that it was not the Four Eyes he imagined, Stunned for a moment.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a job." Du Chaoxian continued in a stiff tone.

The man glanced at Du Chaoxian a few times, and finally said: "Follow me..." As he left, he looked back at Du Chaoxian from time to time, as if there was something on his face.

bump……

"Damn it, I told you, don't bother me at this time." A manager surnamed Jiang on the office phone was furious when he heard the sound of the door being opened.

"Manager Jiang, I'm applying." The man who just brought Du Chaoxian in immediately stepped forward to explain.

Manager Jiang looked at the man, then at Du Chaoxian who looked embarrassed, and nodded.

Then the man left the office, patting Du Chaoxian on the shoulder before leaving.

"sit……"

"What to drink, coffee or tea, forget it, that's too much trouble, let's drink orange soda." After Manager Jiang arranged for Du Chaoxian to sit on the sofa, he took out an orange, transparent glass bottle directly from the cabinet at the back. of soda, with blue letters written on it: Xijing No. 2 Soda Drink Factory. (Similar to the Arctic Ocean in later generations)

Spray...a burst of white smoke came out.

"Hello, my name is Du Chaoxian, and I'm here to apply for a job as a trader." Du Chaoxian took the soda that had been pried open and was still smoking, and stammered his origin and purpose.

"I know you're here to apply." Manager Jiang replied noncommittally.

"What education degree and where did you graduate??" Manager Jiang leaned on the leather and velvet boss chair and casually asked about Du Chaoxian's education degree.

"High school, Beimen City Chongde Middle School." Du Chaoxian replied immediately.

"North Gate, it's okay, not too far." Manager Jiang heard that Du Chaoxian came from North Gate and calculated the distance in his mind, "How about mathematics?" Manager Jiang asked the most important question, that is mathematics, after all, every day If you don't understand how to deal with numbers and money, then what are you doing?

"It's okay." Du Chaoxian said, the one who was least likely to make mistakes.

"What do you mean it's okay? Now, you calculate this list." Manager Jiang opened the drawer, took out a stock calculation sheet and handed it to Du Chaoxian. He also took out a pencil from the pen holder.

Du Chaoxian looked at the things above. Although it was a little difficult, it was not in the way, and then he quickly filled it out.

"Okay..." Du Chaoxian handed the finished stock calculation to Manager Jiang opposite.

Manager Jiang looked at the calculation sheet in his hand, then at Du Chaoxian who was anxious across from him, and finally said: "Okay, you passed, come to work next Monday."

"That's good..." After hearing that he passed, Du Chaoxian was a little surprised. After all, when he applied for a technician job in a printing factory, it was not that simple. The training alone took two months.

"What, how much more do you want, let me play with you all night??" Manager Jiang looked at Du Chaoxian ambiguously, and kept looking at Du Chaoxian, which made Du Chaoxian shrink back in fear.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. The basic salary during the internship is seven yuan, with a commission of five percent. After the internship, the basic salary is ten yuan. In addition to the commission, there are quarterly bonuses, half-year bonuses, and even year-end bonuses during the New Year. According to performance In other words, the better you do, the higher your performance will be, which means you will get more money..." Manager Jiang finally added about the company's benefits.

"I would like to ask, how much does the company earn the most in a month??" Du Chaoxian dared to ask something that he was very concerned about from the beginning.

When Manager Jiang heard this, he looked Du Chaoxian up and down and said in a mocking tone: "This number..." Manager Jiang held out five fingers.

"Five hundred??" Du Chaoxian guessed.

"Five hundred, five thousand!!" Manager Jiang looked at Du Chaoxian, feeling as if he had never seen the world before.

Until he walked out of the office, the astronomical number of five thousand was still echoing in Du Chaoxian's mind. In an instant, he felt that he had a goal in life.

Make him five thousand yuan a month first! !

"Hey, how are you? Mr. Jiang didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Everyone just led him in, and when he saw Du Chaoxian coming out, he immediately leaned towards him.

Du Chaoxian nodded to him.

"Great, we finally have a newcomer. Hello, my name is Meng Wei, others call me Awei." Meng Wei extended his right hand to Du Chaoxian.

"Du Chaoxian..." Du Chaoxian hesitated for a moment, then held Meng Wei's hand together.

"In this way, tonight, I will be your host and take you to a high level to ensure your satisfaction!!" Meng Wei put his arm around Du Chaoxian's shoulders, with a treacherous smile on his face.

The confused Du Chaoxian nodded again.

…………

"Drink, drink!!"

"Haha, give me a kiss..."

Du Chaoxian looked at Meng Wei who was playing guessing games with a woman in a thin shirt on the sofa, and then looked at the Western girl opposite who was dancing, shook his head, drank a glass of rum, and followed him on the dance floor.
