Chapter 18 Interpreting News Content
The punishment games went on until late at night, with Zhang Yang occasionally doing the barbecue. Once everyone was tired, they went into their respective tents and fell into a deep sleep.

There are security guards patrolling Pujiang Country Park at night, and it's not a remote or wild area with any large wild animals, so there's no need to worry about safety.

The next day, everyone set off to admire the cherry blossoms and experience the spring atmosphere of 2009, which was a limited-time event.

They played until evening, and after having a seafood Japanese meal, Zhang Yang, He Jing, and the others returned to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

Back in the dorm, Chen Chuan exclaimed, "Finally back! Guys, wanna play a thrilling game of World of Warcraft?"

"I'm going to sleep first."

Xu Jiafeng went straight to bed.

Wang Liu looked at Xu Jiafeng, who had returned to the upper bunk, and said in surprise, "This isn't like you, Feng-ge. You didn't even come to finish the dungeon before going to sleep."

"Perhaps they're just tired."

Zhang Yang plugged in the Nokia phone, then looked for clothes to take a shower.

In 2009, mobile phone charging power was generally around 10 watts, and it often took six or seven hours to fully charge the phone.

To address battery anxiety, manufacturers often include an extra spare battery.

"Well, there's no other way then, we'll just have to team up with a couple more random people," Chen Chuan said.

"online."

Wang Liu's internet addiction has kicked in.

However, what his three roommates didn't know was that Xu Jiafeng, lying on the top bunk, was silently shedding tears, large teardrops sliding down his cheeks.

If he had known that being rejected would be so painful, he should have kept his feelings to himself.

Just that morning, while the group was enjoying the cherry blossoms, he saw that the time was right and handed Xu Zhiruo his love letter.

The result was that they made it clear that they already had someone they liked.

Xu Jiafeng reacted very quickly after being rejected, saying it was a dare, and then he forced himself not to shed tears.

After holding on for more than ten hours, he finally broke down the moment he returned to his dormitory.

"hateful!"

"I'm never doing pure romance again!"

"I want to be a scumbag!"

"I want to play with emotions!"

While shedding tears, Xu Jiafeng secretly vowed to lose weight.

……

Unbeknownst to everyone in room 308, Xu Jiafeng was secretly shedding tears in bed. After taking a shower and washing his clothes, Zhang Yang went to his lower bunk and opened his laptop to check the news.

A qualified financial professional needs to stay informed about changes in the world.

Many people may not know that "Xinwen Lianbo" (the nightly news program on CCTV) is the most authoritative and valuable source of information that ordinary people can access.

why would you say so?

The "News Broadcast" is essentially the country's window to the outside world.

Whether it's the "4 trillion yuan stimulus plan" or the "automobiles to the countryside subsidy," they are announced to the public on the "News Broadcast" program as soon as they are finalized. This is what is known as the policy boom.

Zhang Yang first opened the webpage replay of "Xinwen Lianbo" (the evening news program on CCTV) to check the key macro news. Tonight's "Xinwen Lianbo" mentioned...

1. The 60th anniversary summit of NATO concluded on April 4. The meeting focused on the situation in Afghanistan and the relationship between NATO and Russia.

2. On April 5, Venezuela and Iran signed several cooperation agreements covering energy, mining, agriculture, and technology, including joint development of oil fields.

3. Southern Hainan was hit by torrential rain, with Sanya and Haikou experiencing heavy rain and torrential rain respectively, with the maximum rainfall reaching 67 mm.

While watching the evening news, Zhang Yang wrote down the key points in a document.

After watching the evening news, he checked online news. One article mentioned Wei Shi, a 28-year-old from Qingdao, who opened five branches of a chain of steamed bun shops within two years, making an annual profit of nearly 700,000 yuan, becoming a model of entrepreneurship in the area.

Construction has begun on the Longkou Coal Reserve Base in eastern Shandong, with an initial annual distribution capacity of 1000 million tons and a long-term target of 5000 million tons.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is also at its peak, with many places issuing warnings and strengthening prevention and control measures.

After compiling all the news from the past two days, Zhang Yang began to analyze it word by word, identifying sectors that might be poised for a breakout next week.

"The 60th anniversary NATO summit discussed Afghanistan, but there was no actual progress, and gold and oil prices will not be affected in the short term."

"The cooperation agreement signed between Venezuela and Iran is essentially a development agreement, with their sights set on oil. However, it won't be finalized anytime soon, and oil prices are expected to continue rising in the short term."

"Heavy rain in southern Hainan..."

Zhang Yang opened a search engine to look for listed infrastructure companies in southern Hainan.

Since there has been heavy rain, which is often accompanied by strong winds, it may involve building reconstruction. You can mark it here.

The news about the 28-year-old's steamed bun chain store, the Longkou coal reserve base in eastern Shandong, and the peak season for hand-foot-mouth disease highlights the consumer, coal, and medical sectors.

After identifying the sectors that might "ignite" the market next week, Zhang Yang searched for quality stocks, working late into the night.

For a financial professional, collecting, analyzing, and utilizing information is a very basic and extremely important task.

Let alone financial professionals, even an ordinary stock investor will subconsciously look for "positive" news once they start trading stocks.

However, the positive news that stock market investors see is often what others want them to see.

"Get ready for bed."

Zhang Yang stretched.

Before shutting down his computer, he glanced at his email's class schedule. There were no classes on Monday morning, but two in the afternoon.

Without hesitation, he went to bed.

……

The night passed uneventfully, and time flew by.

The next morning at eight o'clock, the first rays of sunlight shone into dormitory 308 from the direction of the balcony, and Zhang Yang, Chen Chuan and others woke up one after another.

Since Chen Chuan, Wang Liu, and others did not have the habit of eating breakfast, they chose to continue sleeping in and wait for the alarm clock to ring at 9:10.

Zhang Yang went to the washbasin to wash up, and then went to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Shanghai University of Finance and Economics offers a wide variety of breakfast options, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, lean meat congee, zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), soy milk, and glutinous rice chicken, all at reasonable prices.

This is because the government subsidizes student canteens in all universities; the better the school, the cheaper the food.

Zhang Yang ordered two fried dough sticks, four meat buns, two sticky rice chickens, and a cup of soy milk, totaling 3.5 yuan.

This price is extremely cheap for Shanghai.

He casually found a seat and had just taken a couple of bites of fried dough sticks when Nokia received a text message from Professor Wang Xingbang.

[Wang Xingbang]: Zhang Yang, please come to the teacher's office 4-3-101 after class today. Received reply 1. Thank you for your cooperation.

"Professor Wang called me. Could it be that the business he was handling for Lai Weijie has been exposed?" Zhang Yang had already prepared for the worst.

The only thing he's done that's wrong, or more accurately, that's broken the rules, is managing the Huaxin Simulated Trading Competition for Lai Weijie.

its not right!
There's no way they could have been discovered!

Zhang Yang felt something was wrong. He hadn't even used his full strength yet, so how could the teachers have noticed?
It's impossible to say that Huaxin Securities locked down the operation by someone else through IP address, right?

But that's utter nonsense!
Putting aside whether such advanced technology existed in 2009, the fact that Zhang Yang was using the campus network meant the other party couldn't tell the difference at all.

"do not care."

Zhang Yang took a sip of soy milk and thought to himself, "Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Even if I'm discovered, the worst that can happen is that I'll be disqualified from the competition."
