As Ma Yunfei was going downstairs, he ran into Manager Wang, who was going upstairs.
Back then, Manager Wang of the securities branch ignored Ma Yunfei and looked down on him.
No wonder, at that time Ma Yunfei only had five million yuan in stock trading funds, which was considered poor among the big clients in this securities brokerage.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, Ma Yunfei's stock account balance increased from five million to seventy million, more than tenfold.
When Manager Wang saw Ma Yunfei, he immediately put on a big smile and said enthusiastically, "Little Ma, I heard you've made another fortune. Your stock trading capital has now reached 70 million, which meets the capital requirement for entering the VIP room."
As Manager Wang spoke, he waved the key in his hand and said respectfully, "Xiao Ma, look, I personally brought you the key to the private room. Come on, let me show you the room."
Ma Yunfei had long wanted to leave that large four-person room because the older woman across from him always disliked him and frequently scolded him with her seniority, which made him extremely unhappy.
"Ah! How kind of you to personally bring me the room key, I'm so touched I could cry."
Ma Yunfei deliberately winked, seemingly moved to tears.
He thought to himself: You snob! Now that you see me making a killing in the stock market, with my money doing incredibly well, you've immediately changed your tune and are trying to flatter me.
Originally, Ma Yunfei was already harboring a lot of resentment and was planning to switch securities brokerages. But then he thought that nowadays, it's all about ability; with little capital, he wouldn't be well-received at any brokerage.
Manager Wang led Xiao Ma to the end of the corridor, opened a room, drew back the curtains, and asked with a smile, "What do you think of this room?"
Ma Yunfei was somewhat surprised.
This is a 20-square-meter room with a large executive desk inside. Surprisingly, there are two computers on the desk, and a luxurious swivel chair in front of the desk.
There is also a wardrobe and a sofa in the room.
Manager Wang opened a door in the room and said with a smile, "There is also a separate bathroom with 24-hour hot water showers."
Clearly, this single room is both luxurious and convenient.
Ma Yunfei said with satisfaction, "Manager Wang, thank you for your trouble!"
"Hehe... Little Ma, this is the treatment you deserve. To be honest, your capital ranks second among all the big players."
Ma Yunfei was somewhat surprised, not expecting that his 70 million yuan in funds would rank him second.
Manager Wang scratched the back of his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xiao Ma, to be honest, our branch's proprietary trading hasn't been doing very well. This year, our 200 million yuan has dwindled to 180 million yuan, a loss of 20 million yuan. If we keep losing like this, I'll lose my job as manager."
Ma Yunfei shrugged, feigning disbelief, and asked, "I've heard that those who operate proprietary trading desks in securities brokerages are not ordinary people; they are at least master's or doctoral degree holders, and have experience in overseas capital operations. How could they lose money?"
Manager Wang shook his head and sighed, "Oh! Don't even mention it. Our securities brokerage's proprietary trading is mainly operated by three people: one PhD, two Master's degree holders, all three are returnees from overseas, and they all have practical experience in overseas investment."
Ma Yunfei stuck out his tongue and exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness! These titles alone are terrifying. Unlike me, I'm just a junior college student."
Manager Wang sighed, "Xiao Ma, there's an old saying: 'You can't judge a book by its cover,' and 'You can't measure the sea with a bucket.' Although you're just a college graduate, you've outperformed those PhDs and returnees in stock trading. I've always believed that ability is the most important thing."
"Manager Wang, to be frank, I have indeed made a lot of money from stock trading, but it was purely by sheer luck."
Manager Wang looked Ma Yunfei up and down and said, "Little Ma, I've carefully studied the two stocks you've been speculating on and found that you almost always bought at the lowest point and sold at the highest point. You've really hit the mark. If you're talking about luck, it can only be occasional. You can't possibly hit the mark every time."
Of course, Ma Yunfei wouldn't tell Manager Wang the truth. If he said he was a time traveler, Manager Wang would definitely be terrified.
Manager Wang earnestly said, "Xiao Ma, I would like to ask you to give a lesson to the people in our securities business department, to talk about your stock trading strategy. Perhaps you have any stock trading secrets, please share them with us."
Ma Yunfei waved his hands repeatedly, declining, "Manager Wang, that won't do. If you want me to talk about my stock trading strategy, I can only say it's based on intuition. As for the tricks of stock trading, that's all about following my instincts. If I feel a stock is going to rise, I buy it; if I feel it's about to fall, I sell it. That can be explained in just a few words."
Seeing that Ma Yunfei insisted on declining, Manager Wang didn't press the matter any further.
After Manager Wang left, Ma Yunfei sat down in the swivel chair, crossed his legs, and muttered to himself, "The single room in the VIP room is so comfortable!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the eldest sister of the four-person VIP room pushed open the door and walked in, asking in surprise, "Xiao Ma, you...you've moved into a single room?"
Ma Yunfei quickly stood up modestly and lied, "I have a few old friends who asked me to help them invest in stocks. My funds, plus those of my friends, amount to tens of millions, so I sat in the VIP single room."
The older woman asked suspiciously, "Xiao Ma, your friends actually entrusted you with such a large sum of money. Aren't they afraid of losing everything?"
"Hehe... My friends believe me."
The older woman was even more puzzled and said, "Xiao Ma, you once said that you have never traded stocks, so why should your friends believe you?"
"I can't really explain it. Anyway, they gave me the funds and asked me to help them invest in stocks. I tried to refuse repeatedly, but it was no use, so I had no choice but to reluctantly agree."
The older sister said in a lecturing tone, "Xiao Ma, you've taken too much of a risk. It would be one thing if you lost your own money, but you've lost someone else's money. How can you explain that? I advise you to return your friend's money as soon as possible."
Ma Yunfei, too lazy to argue with his older sister any longer, said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and contact my friends right away to return the funds to them."
Seeing that Ma Yunfei was so compliant, the eldest sister left happily.
As soon as the older sister went out, the old man walked in and exclaimed in surprise, "Little Ma, you're amazing! You're practically a stock market genius of our time!"
After saying that, he looked around the room, smacked his lips repeatedly, and said, "This single room is like a presidential suite. Damn, it's so comfortable. When I can sit in this room and trade stocks, I'm afraid I'll be grinning from ear to ear."
"Sir, that won't do. If your mouth is crooked to the back of your neck, you'll look like a monster."
