Live up to expectations
Jian Jianan's meaning is very clear. Didn't you two say that stocks are not a good thing?
You can't make any money by investing in this, but I just think it's not a bad thing. Not only can I invest in it, but I can also make a lot of money by investing.
Jian Jianan's words in June can be regarded as a declaration of war. It is said that the war between writers is fought with pen, paper and weapons. Jian Jianan is going to fight against these two people as a writer.
What Jian Jianan didn't know was that what she did that day had already caused an uproar in the editorial office of The Economist before it was even published in the newspaper.
The entire editorial department was troubled by one thing. They were unsure whether to allow the June article to be published.
Although The Economist encourages scholars with different viewpoints to engage in various debates, they will not stop them. On the contrary, they will take a welcoming attitude and hope that everyone will argue more and more intensely.
But this time it was different. This time, it was a serious quarrel, and it also involved state affairs.
The editors of The Economist were both excited to see everyone arguing, but at the same time they were a little worried that if the argument went too far, it would cause them a lot of trouble, which was something the editors didn't want to see.
The editors were unsure about this matter, and in the end the editor-in-chief made the final decision.
"Publish! We're publishing the June article in the newspaper. Our daily newspaper is merely a platform for economists to express their views. We don't take sides. If you have differing opinions, feel free to use pen and paper and express them in the newspaper."
Just like that, Jian Jianan had no idea how the turmoil she caused arose behind the scenes and then disappeared quietly.
After writing this letter of challenge, Jian Jianan no longer cared about what happened next, and did not think at all about the consequences that her letter of challenge would bring.
But just because she is indifferent to fame and fortune doesn’t mean that others think the same way as her!
For example, the next day Fengheli published two new articles that severely hit back at Jian Jianan. It was obvious that the two of them were furious, and all kinds of critical remarks were written in the articles, as if Jian Jianan was an unforgivable villain who deliberately came to disrupt the domestic economic market.
There is no need to mention the obscene words that came before, let’s just talk about their ending.
The new article was written jointly by Feng and Rili, and they both share the same views.
"Since we heard that a scholar issued a challenge to the two of us yesterday, if we don't accept it, wouldn't it seem like we have lost our momentum? So we decided to accept it!"
"We both believe that the stock market, with its instability and high volatility, should not exist in the domestic market. If it does, it will not have any positive impact on the domestic economy. On the contrary, it will have a negative impact."
"We're betting against June that stocks won't appreciate. Even if other Western countries have stock markets, the impact on national finances and national security is ultimately negative."
"Since June invested all of his wealth in the US stock market, then Feng He Ri Li and I will deposit all of our wealth in the bank. I want to see if you will end up losing everything and the interest rate will be lower than what we both earn in the bank!"
Ding Ran took the newspaper and read it word by word to Jian Jianan. The Queen of Gods looked up with a worried look on her face.
Seeing Jian Jianan's confident look, she felt a little distressed.
"Nannan! Why aren't you worried at all?"
Not only that, the Jane family in South Africa was not worried. She was also very confident, and there was no panic on her face as if someone had replied to the challenge.
"What is there to worry about?" Jian Jianan asked back after hearing his good friend's question.
"Since I've already issued a challenge, I must have anticipated the consequences!"
Jian Jianan's voice was cheerful, and she pointed out sharply: "And they both said something that was obviously wrong."
"That means no matter how much I lose, I can't lose everything in the stock market! You don't even understand this basic math, and yet you dare to call yourself an economist? It's laughable!"
Jian Jianan smiled, and Ding Ran thought for a long time before he realized what she meant.
Jian Jianan's words contained mathematical principles, which meant that even if a person had a hundred dollars to invest in the stock market, if he kept losing, the amount would only become infinitely smaller, infinitely close to zero, but would never become zero.
Ding Ran looked at Jian Jianan who was laughing so happily that she couldn't help but be infected by her smile.
"Okay, Nannan, now that you've said that, I'm not worried about you anymore. I believe you can handle it well."
Jian Jianan agreed, and then heard Ding Ran ask, "But, you said in the article that you used all your wealth to buy stocks. Is that true?"
No matter how much Ding Ran trusts Jian Jianan, she still subconsciously feels fear for the stock market, which is ever-changing and can never stop for a moment.
Ding Ran was worried: "What if... I mean what if! What if you are not careful and lose all your money in the stock market? What should I do?"
By that time, will her good friend still have money to eat?
After Ding Ran asked the question, he immediately made several "Pooh" sounds, feeling that it was really inappropriate for him to say that!
"Pah! Pah! Pah! That's just nonsense from a child! Our Nan Nan must have been researching this for a long time, how could he lose money?"
Jian Jianan remained silent while Ding Ran was speaking, just looking at her with a smile. She patted Ding Ran on the shoulder and said confidently, "Xiao Ran, you're right about one thing. I've been researching U.S. stocks for a long time! And have you forgotten? I even interned at Goldman Sachs, and even my job involved researching various stocks. You don't have to worry about me."
Besides, the entire net worth refers to Jian Jianan’s current entire net worth, not all the net worth her parents have.
If it really comes to that dire situation, would her parents just watch their daughter go without money to eat?
Although Ding Ran was still worried, she nodded and thought to herself, it doesn't matter. Even if Jian Jianan fails in her investment and has no money to eat, her good friend will help her. She won't let her fall to the point of begging on the overpass!
Jian Jianan happily watched her friend's expression change for more than a dozen times, and then her face suddenly changed the next second, as if she had made up her mind and became determined.
Jian Jianan didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Ranran, you see, all my wealth has been invested in the stock market. Don't you have the slightest interest in it?"
Moved? What does this move refer to?
Ding Ran hadn't reacted yet and didn't know what Jian Jianan meant by "touched".
"So, do you want to buy stocks with me? Let's invest together. I'll help you make money!"
Jian Jianan felt that he was indeed a bit impulsive. No matter how good friends were, once money was involved, it was considered good enough to have a conflict. What was even worse was that it would develop to the point of falling out.
But Jian Jianan felt that she had known the people in dormitory 302 for almost four years, and she knew the personalities of these friends very well.
Everyone is a friend worthy of trust, and their character and quality are absolutely fine!
So, she also wanted to give it a try. If they were willing, Jian Jianan would definitely do his best to help them without reservation.
Of course, if they are still hesitant and don't want to be together in the end, Jian Jianan will only feel regretful and will not force them.
Just as Ding Ran was thinking, the dormitory door was slammed open.
It turned out that Chen Muya and Zhang Yezi had returned.
"Nannan! What are you two talking about? Why don't you invite me and Ye Zi?"
When the two of them were just approaching the dormitory door, they heard something vaguely coming from inside: "Do you want to come with me?" or "I'll help you make money."
But after all, they were not in the dormitory, so Chen Muya and the others could not hear it clearly.
Seeing that all his roommates had returned, Jian Jianan stood up happily and started explaining to Chen Muya and the others.
"I was talking to Xiaoran about making money! You know I went to the US for an exchange program last year. When I was at Goldman Sachs, I was always studying the stock market. But we have a rule at Goldman Sachs that investment bankers like us are absolutely forbidden from relying on our insider status to obtain or misuse information through various illegal or legal means to gain financial benefits for ourselves."
"So, when I was abroad, I had no chance to buy stocks for myself. But now that I'm back home and I've left Goldman Sachs, it's time to try my hand at the stock market!"
Chen Muya and Zhang Yezi were not interested at first. They knew what stocks were, but there was no stock market in China and they had never been exposed to it, so they didn't think the stock market was fun.
But Jian Jianan's eyes lit up. She had an interesting way of narrating anything. She pulled her friends to her desk, turned on the computer and let them look at the data trend chart she had made.
"Look! This is a price trend chart of global stock markets that I painstakingly compiled! You can see from it that the overall stock market is on an upward spiral. Although there are occasional dips, overall, it's steadily improving. This means that while the stock market will experience its own lows, as long as you're brave enough to invest during those lows, you'll reap the rewards of victory at the peak!"
Jian Jianan's tone was generous, powerful, and quickly contagious, and the little friends looked over in the direction of her finger.
You can see straight lines rising and falling, representing the stock price changes in a period of time. Many data lines are combined to form this data chart of Jian Jianan.
Chen Muya could clearly see that the most recent trend was downward.
Jian Jianan explained to her, "This is the stock market crash that happened this year. It's also known as Black Monday. You've heard of it, right?"
Chen Muya nodded, indicating that she had heard about it. Such a major disaster had a huge impact. Even those of them on the other side of the ocean had heard about it vaguely, and could see the volatility of the stock market.
After listening to Jian Jianan's plan, Zhang Yezi spoke first, "Nannan, this is too risky. I can see that your data chart is new, but no matter how carefully you look at it, haven't you noticed that the trend since the stock market crash has been downward until now? Most importantly, you don't know where the peak of the decline is. How do you know that after you buy it, it will rise instead of continuing to fall?"
Jian Jianan didn't change his expression in response to Zhang Yezi's sharp words. Instead, he said directly, "You know, I can't give you a guarantee. Fortunately, in the stock market, no one can be sure."
"But this is also one of the challenging aspects of the stock market. Everyone is taking a risk, and we are certainly taking a risk too. Now, it depends on whether you are willing to join me in taking the risk."
When faced with adventure, other people may hesitate or refuse the serial number, but Jian Jianan will never do that. She loves adventure the most!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jian Jianan said this, Zhang Yezi, who has always been the most risk-averse and prefers stability, was the first to agree to her.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Zhang Yezi smiled, but her firm words made Jian Jianan stunned for a moment.
She asked hesitantly, "Headmaster...Headmaster, do you want to think about it again? Do you really want to be with me?"
Jian Jianan was fully prepared. The first person to agree to her deal would most likely be Chen Muya. After all, Chen Muya's family was not short of money, and she did not take this little money seriously. She was adventurous, so even if Jian Jianan told her in the end that we had lost all the money here, she would not take it to heart.
On the contrary, if that day really came, Chen Muya would turn around and pat Jian Jianan on the shoulder to comfort her: "The money is gone, it's gone. We can earn it again when we have the chance!"
Therefore, Jian Jianan did not expect that the first person to agree with his point of view would be Zhang Yezi. Shouldn't the dormitory head be the most cautious?
Zhang Yezi saw the curiosity bubbling on Jian Jianan's face, smiled, and answered firmly, "I feel that now that there is less than a year left until graduation from my senior year, I need to prepare for the future early in the remaining ten months."
Zhang Ye Zi is the one with the least way out among the four girls in her dormitory. She has made up her mind to stay in Beijing.
In her free time, she specifically went to find out that college graduates have to go to work after graduation, but it is not easy to find a job.
It all depends on the school's assignment. You can only work where the school assigns you a stable job. Whether you can stay in Beijing is still an unknown.
Therefore, she had to plan for herself and save some money to support herself.
After Zhang Yezi said so, Chen Muya immediately followed suit. Ding Ran thought about it for a while and agreed.
Jian Jianan assured with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely live up to your trust!"
