Turning thirty is an awkward age. Some people shine brightly and achieve glory at this age, while others find their lives a messy struggle.
Undoubtedly, Chen Pingsheng belonged to the latter....
Chapter 807 Old Yang's Stock Trading
Group management includes social unwritten rules, many of which are brought about by top-down management systems.
Even teachers who are role models cannot avoid this, let alone other positions.
It had been a long time since Chen Pingsheng had experienced this kind of naked drinking culture in society.
He came once and never wanted to come again.
Song Yanxi was quite used to it. Anyway, she was not ambitious and would not toast to anyone.
When the couple returned home, Michelle Song was still telling him, "Old Chen, Jiye should go to a good school when he grows up."
"That's a must. Just go to kindergarten for two years first. I'll naturally take care of the school matters."
"You saw it today too. The more ordinary a place is, the more it likes to do those ridiculous things."
Song Yanxi said: "I really don't know when this so-called drinking party culture will be completely banned."
"Don't think about it, this is not our problem."
Chen Pingsheng obviously didn't want to think too much about this issue, mainly because he couldn't explain it in detail. If he talked too much, it would become a complaint against society.
When everyone is like this, no outliers will be allowed to be born.
When the couple returned home, they continued to grow flowers and plant trees.
As for little Jiye, who was returning home from school, he was jumping around with a big schoolbag on his back.
He still liked going to kindergarten, and Chen Pingsheng would recite some 300 Tang poems to him in the evening.
Tell some bedtime stories.
The grandfather and grandson also entertained themselves in this urban village and had a very happy time.
…
Guangdong, Baiyun Headquarters.
An An is handling some official business here. She hasn't visited her youngest son Ji Ye for a few days.
I am planning to go back to Shenzhen this weekend and visit my second sister in Hong Kong.
Talk to her about a project collaboration.
The two sisters are in different fields and will choose to cooperate as soon as they encounter good opportunities.
"Mr. An, your brother has already started working at the Dream Fund."
"He's like a headless chicken now, not knowing what to do every day."
Just because An An doesn't ask about Chen Lu doesn't mean she doesn't care about her only brother.
On the contrary, she knew exactly where Chen Lu worked and what he did.
The secretary said, "Boss An, I'm afraid your brother will have to stay there for two years."
The headquarters of the Dream Fund is very close to them, so it is very convenient for An An to find Chen Lu whenever she wants.
"It would be good if he could stay there steadily for two years, instead of working here for a few months and then changing jobs."
Not only An An cares about her only brother, but Erya also cares about him very much.
But if people don't help themselves, it's difficult for others to lend a hand to them.
Chen Lu's future lies in his own hands, but his wife Su Xiaoxi has gone to Hong Kong to take over Tenghui Capital.
I guess I will be able to adapt completely soon and become a glorious capital queen in less than two years.
"Mr. An, I think your brother must be quite confused right now."
"Yeah, he's really confused."
An An put down the work in her hands and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to look out at the entire Baiyun Scenic Area.
The pedestrians downstairs are still in a hurry, and I don’t know what they are busy with.
Just like Chen Lu now, An An didn't know what he was confused about all day long.
The most leisurely person in the family is probably the second sister, Chen Xinyi.
After the child is born, he or she is left with a nanny, and when he or she is three years old, the father is asked to help take care of the child.
She was also responsible for giving birth to her son. At this moment, Erya should still be fishing in the sea.
Arya Chen Xinyi was indeed fishing in the sea, and she even spent 10 billion to build a super fishing boat.
This fishing boat is extremely large, but it only has a room for her, and it also has basic facilities such as a study, a living room, a cinema, and a gym.
There is also a huge kitchen and a huge fishing platform for making a living.
Erya is the type of person who is born to enjoy life, and she is the typical example of someone who does whatever makes her feel comfortable.
She didn't care why her silly brother was confused.
She spends money everywhere when she feels happy, and it has been like this every day since she was a child.
…
Chen Lu is indeed different from his two sisters, whether it is An An or Erya.
They are all unattainable existences in the second-generation circle, and they are also successful in their careers. The slogan "If you want to have a daughter, you should look like Chen Anan" is still popular in the second-generation circle.
After Chen Lu joined the Dream Fund, Chu Qiuyan assigned him a pretty good single employee apartment.
He will be living in this place for a long time in the future. This apartment building was invested and built by the Dream Fund itself.
The people living there are all internal employees, both men and women.
From the first day he joined the company, he was assigned a new task, which was to be responsible for the catering research in a region under the Dream Fund.
That is to track the smallest projects invested by the Dream Fund.
This type of project was a support target set by Chen Pingsheng himself when the Dream Fund was established.
Later, with the development of the group, changes in the times and a series of other factors, the Dream Fund had already shifted its focus to other large-scale hot projects.
As for the most inconspicuous catering industry, a portion of funds will be allocated every year to support it.
It’s not that they expect this industry to make much money for them, it’s just that they don’t forget their original intention.
Moreover, the catering industry they invested in was mainly started by couples, or some small projects within the industry.
Chu Qiuyan transferred Chen Lu to the grassroots level, and of course she had her own reasons.
Two days later, the third brother Zhao Kai also came and was assigned to the dormitory next to Chen Lu.
The two of them carried their bags and went to the grassroots to conduct research.
Husband-and-wife restaurants are mainly small shops. Chen Lu found that the profits of such shops invested by the Dream Fund were very slim.
Most of them just earn a couple's salary.
There are also some shops that used to have good business, but as conflicts arose between couples, the business soon fell into trouble.
Even more serious cases may lead to store closure.
This also dragged the Dream Fund's investment into zero return.
The smaller the shop, the more it tests the harmonious relationship between husband and wife.
Their relationship was fine before they opened the store, but it broke down immediately after they opened it.
He also saw various phenomena here.
We also understand the simplest truth: emotional stability is the most important thing for small entrepreneurs.
Chen Lu stayed there for two months and only returned to Shenzhen three times during this period.
These three times were because Su Xiaoxi brought her daughter back from Hong Kong and he went to accompany them.
Life is full of different things, and in two months he has gained a basic understanding of some things.
When I got home and told Su Xiaoxi about it, I kept sighing that most of the conflicts between low-income couples are often because of the daily necessities of life.
As for business failure, except for a small number of cases due to lack of awareness, more than 80% of them are due to insufficient preparation.
Many of them even start their own businesses impulsively, doing things on impulse.
It failed within a few months.
It can be said that the Dream Fund has not set too many thresholds for these grassroots entrepreneurs. If they were to choose the same options as large projects, almost none of these people would be able to get their investment.
This is a grassroots entrepreneurship support fund. 500 million yuan each year can support thousands of grassroots entrepreneurs.
As for the success rate, it will not be recorded in internal statistics at all.
As long as the losses are not too severe.
Two months passed, and it was New Year's Day 2038 in the blink of an eye.
Let’s not talk about Chen Lu for now. He is still working as a grassroots market researcher at the Dream Fund.
On this New Year's Day, An An and Er Ya rushed to Shenzhen's urban village to celebrate the holiday with Chen Pingsheng.
He is no longer young, and no one knows how long he can live in the future.
Like other ordinary old people, he likes to get together with his family during the holidays.
Younger sister Chen Qi also came with her son Hu Qilin. After being caught for drunk driving last time, Hu Qilin has become much more honest.
In fact, for rich second-generations like him, if they like to cause trouble outside, it is usually their parents at home who have to clean up their messes.
With parents backing you up in everything, it's easy to become bold and fearless.
Once you lose the protection of your parents, you will be no different from a timid mouse.
Look at him now, isn't he much more obedient?
How dare I steal someone else’s girlfriend again?
"Brother...do you think my Qilin is getting better?" Little sister Chen Qi ran over and asked with relief.
"Without your unbridled love, he wouldn't be like this now."
"Brother... you are right. I am planning to propose a marriage to him. Which girl do you think is better?"
Chen Pingsheng glared at his little sister. "You really don't come here for no reason. You always come here to ask for some benefits, right?"
"Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I don't want my Qilin to marry the daughter of some high-ranking official. I just came here to ask you a question."
Last time, Chen Pingsheng told everyone that no matter what Hu Qilin did outside, it had nothing to do with him.
This is equivalent to severing the relationship between Hu Qilin and himself. If Hu Qilin didn't have this relationship with him, how could he have a good marriage?
It is obvious that my younger sister wants to use his name to propose marriage for her son.
At least they should be like the two daughters of my eldest sister.
Chen Pingsheng left with a sullen face, too lazy to pay attention to her.
The younger sister Chen Qi snorted and stopped talking, obviously her plan did not go as she wished.
It’s hard to take advantage of her brother now because there are too many children in the family and it’s not her turn.
If Hu Qilin wants to find a good marriage, she can only rely on herself.
The family was having a lively time, and Chen Pingsheng took little Jiye to practice Tai Chi.
Outside the yard, Xiao Zilin and her grandfather came over to say hello.
"Grandpa Yang..."
Xiao Zilin goes to the same kindergarten as him. Grandpa Yang is a kind person and often brings him snacks. Xiao Jiye likes this pair of grandfather and grandson very much.
"Jiye, are you practicing Tai Chi with your grandfather again?"
"Yes, my grandfather said that practicing Tai Chi is not only good for your health, but when you grow up you can beat ten people at once."
"Okay, okay, Jiye is really amazing."
Old Yang is also a retired man with a good monthly income. He usually likes to play chess with Chen Pingsheng.
"Old Chen, do you want to try?"
"Don't you see I have so many guests at home? I'm busy today. I'll come find you when I'm free in the evening!"
"Okay... since you're not available, I'll go find someone else. I've been making a lot of money lately. If you, Old Chen, listen to me, you'll definitely make a lot too."
Old Yang is still a kind-hearted person. After retirement, besides playing chess with them, his favorite thing is to trade stocks.
Not only does he cook it himself, he also likes to bring the idle old men in the village to cook it with him.
Stock trading is a normal thing, and people in big cities like to do it.
In the past, Chen Pingsheng’s favorite thing to speculate on was industrial stocks. If an industry had a good future development trend, he would invest hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars in that industry.
Wait patiently for three to five years, and you will naturally reap great rewards.
Old Yang’s stock trading is different. He prefers to speculate, that is, to believe in some so-called insider information.
There is a saying in the stock market: veterans die from bottom fishing, and novices die from chasing rising prices.
No matter whether you are a novice or an old hand, everyone has their own way of dying.
People like Old Yang are the easiest to be deceived.
Chen Pingsheng only deals with industrial investment and policy-oriented stocks. This so-called insider information is often used by market makers to suck in retail investors.
As long as the stock price rises to a certain high level, the market maker will cash out at a high price, and the rest will be a mess.
Old Yang has been doing this for years and there's no way to persuade him.
"Old Yang, don't blame me for not reminding you. It's fine for you to play with this thing by yourself, but don't bring other elderly people into this."
"You're just overthinking it. Everyone else in the village is so grateful to me, Old Yang, and they admire me so much."
"It's natural when you're making money, but if you lose money, you're not afraid because you have a monthly pension. But for those elderly people who don't have a pension, it's like losing their last life savings. Don't wait until their sons and daughters come knocking on your door before you regret it."
Chen Pingsheng reminded him again, but Old Yang didn't listen at all, and he couldn't listen any more. It wasn't that he was keen on helping people make money, but just out of a desire to show off.
That's why he tells everyone how much money he has made in the past few days.
The other elderly people who stayed at home and had long lost their means of making money were attracted to him after a while.
I also took the initiative to consult him about stock trading, saying that it would be okay if I lost money at the beginning.
Gambling is like stock trading. The most frightening thing is that you win money at the beginning, and then get deeper and deeper into trouble.
When Old Yang took his granddaughter away from here, he went to look for Old Zhang next door and Grandma Li on the other side.
Without exception, these people are not original residents of the urban village. They only moved here later because their sons and daughters work here to take care of their grandchildren.
If he was the original resident, he would not be easily tempted by him.
After all, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange began to be planned in 1989 and officially opened on April 3, 1991.
In 1992, there was an extremely exaggerated 1992 Fortune Certificate event. At that time, people who wanted to buy this kind of fortune certificate started queuing up a month in advance.
Even a high-pressure water gun can't wash it away.
All the elderly people who originally lived in urban villages have experienced this era.
How could I not know the temptation of the stock market? I could make money in the early years, but later it was all over.
A history of stock speculation, half a book of family tears.
Only these elderly people from other places would be easily led astray by Old Yang.
Even though Chen Pingsheng reminded him, he didn't listen.
What happens next is up to him.
Old Yang is quite experienced in stock trading. It can be said that even though he knew that there were big dealers manipulating the market, he still dared to rush in.
The bet is that I won’t be the last one to be exploited.
As long as he can make a fortune before the market makers sell off.
For seven consecutive days, all the stocks he recommended hit the daily limit.
Good news keeps coming.
Old Yang's face was always red every time he walked around the village, and other people also started to call him Yang the Stock God.
The intention of flattery is obvious.
