Opening the stock market
The area downstairs of the dormitory soon became a stock market.
In Jian Jianan's opinion, this somewhat crude place was no different from a real stock exchange in every aspect except that it could not actually trade various stocks.
I have to say that Jian Jianan's filter is really too big. It's very different from the stock exchange!
Whether there are computers or professional stock traders, it is impossible to see the same thing!
"Today's stock price! The index dropped 1.2% compared to yesterday!"
Early in the morning, someone announced the latest real-time news in the lobby on the first floor.
There was also a radio contributed by Chen Muya next to it that kept making sounds.
"Global stock markets opened today, and the Douglas Index broke through... US stocks..."
This place is located on the only way in and out, and Jian Jianan has no way to avoid it, so he has to listen carefully every time he goes in and out.
Originally, if this matter had nothing to do with him, Jian Jianan would have just treated it as something interesting and laughed it off.
But it just so happens that this matter has a lot to do with me, and it's a very close relationship!
This left Jian Jianan with no way to stay out of it.
Chen Muya's eyes were like giant searchlights. She would know every time Jian Jianan appeared, and then she would greet her with her greatest enthusiasm.
“Nannan!”
Jian Jianan originally wanted to speed up his pace and pass by this place quickly, but he didn't expect to be seen by the sharp-eyed Chen Muya, who then pulled him out immediately.
Jian Jianan had to stop and greet Chen Muya.
Unexpectedly, when Jian Jianan stopped to talk to Chen Muya, many people gathered around the two of them.
The girls rushed forward and immediately surrounded Jian Jianan.
"Senior! Look at today's stock market trends!"
"Senior! We've been collecting this information since early this morning. Today's stock price is a bit lower than yesterday. Do you want to make a move today?"
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister, the stock price has been trending downward since today. Maybe it will continue to fall tomorrow!"
"Senior, what will you do if you lose money? If the price is falling now, it's better to act quickly!"
The schoolmates were chattering and surrounding Jian Jianan, giving her advice, like a group of cute little sparrows. Jian Jianan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's okay, it's okay. Everyone, listen to me first. The truth is, in the mysterious stock market, stock prices are unpredictable every day. It's normal for them to rise and fall. Even if they fall for several days in a row, that's perfectly normal!"
Jian Jianan thought about it and knew why his schoolmates said that. Nowadays, Chinese people's financial management concepts tend to be conservative. Once they have some money, they will lock it at home. Those who are better off will find a box to hide it, while those who are less well-off will just put it under the bedding. In short, when it comes to money, it is safest to hold it in your own hands.
Some people who want to manage their finances will just put their money in the bank and collect interest every year. Nowadays, there are not many other financial management methods except those in later generations.
The same is true for the schoolmates who are now persuading Jian Jianan to sell his stocks as soon as possible.
Although it is not known how much money Jian Jianan made from the stocks he bought, he definitely made some profit.
Everyone is very worried. What if the stock price keeps falling in the future, and it falls to the point where all the money Jian Jianan has earned before is gone, or even leads to losses in the end? What should they do then?
Jian Jianan comforted him, "I know everyone says this out of kindness, not wanting to see me lose money, but I'm already a grown-up, and I still know how to handle this amount!"
“If you are not prepared to hold a stock for the long term, then you’d better not enter the stock market, otherwise you will lose everything.”
Jian Jianan told everyone: "Temporary fluctuations are normal. As long as its trend is relatively higher than the price point I bought it at, then there is no problem. I can accept any increase or decrease."
Besides, everyone has ups and downs in life, so it is normal for stock prices to fluctuate.
"Alright, alright, our Nan Nan hasn't had breakfast yet. You guys surrounded her so early in the morning. She's growling with hunger. Hurry up and let her go. I'm going to take her to have breakfast!"
In the end, Chen Muya couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward to rescue Jian Jianan and took him away.
Jian Jianan said to his friend with a smile, "As soon as I showed up, so many people rushed over to me. I was shocked. I don't know when I became so popular!"
Chen Muya shook her finger and said mysteriously, "Then you really don't know. But I can't blame you. You were studying abroad for the entire last year and didn't come back to school during the winter break, so naturally you don't know!"
Without Jian Jianan's knowledge, her reputation in school had been gradually rising.
Both teachers and classmates have a very good opinion of her.
A group of teachers, led by Lan Jingru, like to show off Jian Jianan, a good student they taught, subtly during lectures.
"You guys are truly the worst class I've ever taught! Do you know your senior? She's a role model for our business school! She's talented and works harder than you all. Look at her, why wouldn't you study?"
After the teacher said this, the younger students became even more curious.
"Also, you have a very good reputation in our class. Everyone likes you very much. They also have some familiar junior students who will naturally promote you."
Who doesn't like Jian Jianan? She's rich and generous. Class leaders never have to worry about their class fees. She doesn't have that "money smell" that other rich people have. She can chat with anyone and easily get along with them. She never looks down on others or looks down on them.
"Everyone admires you! You didn't see the look in those girls' eyes. They were so fixed on you when they looked at you, as if they were gleaming with brilliance."
"Look at that girl who just kept expressing her opinions. She's a very good student, ranked in the top three in her grade, and even won a scholarship your mother set up!"
Jian Jianan is a legend in the business school and even the entire school. Everyone, especially the girls, regards her as a role model!
It’s no wonder that Chen Muya was able to gather so many people in just a few days. It turns out they have something in common!
Jian Jianan laughed, "So that's how it is. I didn't know I was so popular."
Chen Muya was very serious: "Yes, yes, you are a role model for many people."
Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about Chen Muya himself. Wasn’t he also taken by Jian Jianan to participate in the college student competition, and then he opened the Baozhu Store with great difficulty. Now he is preparing to gain experience step by step and gradually take over the family business after graduation.
If Jian Jianan had not been a role model in her dormitory at university, she would not have been able to learn that besides relying on various men, she could actually walk the path that only belongs to female heirs like Jian Jianan, and the world could still work like this.
After winning the gold medal in the college student entrepreneurship competition two years ago, Chen Muya gained confidence in her own qualities and abilities, and began to make plans and decisions about inheriting the family business in the future.
Jian Jianan laughed, "So... So I did all this without my knowledge?"
She has become a role model for many others, inspiring them to move forward and climb higher step by step.
The day passed with everyone talking and speculating.
Although people have said that the stock price is falling day by day and it is a perfect opportunity to sell the stocks, Jian Jianan has no intention of selling at all.
She is so leisurely and happy every day. In addition to going to the library of another school to collect information, replying emails, and chatting with her boyfriend, she even has the mood and time to write for The Economist and argue with others in her busy schedule.
Because of a previous dispute between "Fenghe" and "Rili" and Jian Jianan, also known as "June", they accepted the challenge letter from "June" and naturally kept a close eye on every move in the stock market. Any slight movement would be published in the Economist Daily the next day.
The stock price had been gradually declining during this period, so they naturally would not miss this great opportunity and mocked "June" in the daily newspapers every day.
"Hahahaha! Don't you see what's happening with the U.S. stock market right now? It's falling day by day. I don't know how much money evaporates every day. Your entire fortune is in the stock market, and now you've lost it all, hahaha!"
The harsh words above were naturally written by "Fenghe". "Rili" was better. Although he also did not approve of the behavior of stock speculation, at least he still gave some advice with all his heart.
"I can imagine you've suffered heavy losses. I hope you've learned a hard lesson from this and never touch this kind of thing again. It's not too late to stop now. The sooner you sell all your stocks, the sooner you can recover your losses."
But June's counterattack was.
"I don't!"
"If you buy a stock without planning to hold it long-term, and you're constantly worried about the gains and losses based on various data, buying more if the price went up yesterday and selling everything today if it went down yesterday, are you really investing or are you treating the stock market like a bank?"
Jian Jianan was very patient in answering questions for her schoolmates, but when she faced this group of strangers who were just looking for trouble, she was not so good-tempered.
"As expected, a person shouldn't do things beyond their own understanding. The two of you are so pessimistic and pessimistic about the stock market just because it's temporarily down. That's because that's what you both originally thought."
After Jian Jianan criticized harshly in the article, she made a summary at the end.
"Let's see what tomorrow brings!"
Jian Jianan has always been a person with big ideas. No matter what others say, she has no intention of taking any action.
The three people in the dormitory also gave Jian Jianan 100% trust.
From the very beginning, after they agreed to invest in stocks with Jian Jianan, the three of them were mentally prepared that they would not be able to get the money out for a while.
Zhang Ye Zi was heartbroken, but she believed in Jian Jianan, so she simply turned a blind eye and kept running outside, hoping to find a suitable job through her own efforts.
You have to grab everything with both hands; you can't put all your eggs in one basket.
This method did work for a while. She no longer paid attention to the stock price trends and focused on finding a job. She was almost exhausted from running around outside every day. How could she have the time to look at her money?
On this day, Zhang Ye Zi had just returned from outside, looking extremely depressed. Needless to say, she had not found a suitable job to accept her.
When she entered the lobby on the first floor, she took a look inside as usual, and sure enough, she saw Chen Muya speaking passionately.
Why didn't I realize before that Chen Muya was so eloquent? In just a few days, he gathered a large group of people, all of them were junior high school girls, who gathered together chattering and discussing something.
Needless to say, they are all trying to find the rationality of Jian Jianan's actions from various aspects, a bunch of little fans!
Unexpectedly, it was this one glance that made Zhang Yezi stop. After looking for five minutes, he quickened his pace and was about to walk into the dormitory.
"Nannannannan! It's rising! It's rising! A big rise!"
Zhang Yezi opened the door with a snap and saw Jian Jianan sitting at the desk, slowly looking over dozens of documents.
Zhang Yezi didn't bother to say anything else. She rushed to Jian Jianan and said to her, "Nannan, do you know the real-time stock price today? It's gone crazy!"
It can only be described with the three words "crazy growth". Otherwise, how can we summarize the scene where all the losses of the previous week were recovered in just one day?
Jian Jianan smiled and said, "Yeah, I know."
She had communicated with Shan Jiqing via email in the morning, so she naturally knew the news a long time ago.
"Ah? You already know? Then you..." Zhang Yezi didn't expect that Jian Jianan had already known this big news, and thought he was the first person to come and inform him.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but raise her eyes, and said quickly and expectantly, "Are you going to take action?"
Wouldn't she be able to recover her capital quickly? And she would also make a good profit!
Jian Jianan raised his finger and shook it left and right. "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer."
This wait lasted for a month.
During this month, Jian Jianan lived an extremely happy life, but other people were not in such a good mood as Jian Jianan.
Even "Fenghe", also known as Qiao Jue, who often argued with her in The Economist, was inexplicably convinced by her and was shaken.
Kong Jian saw his senior brother concentrating on using the public computer in their library. Not knowing what he was looking at, he walked around behind him to take a closer look. He shouted in disbelief, "Senior brother! You're trading stocks!"
Qiao Jue was actually looking at the stock price chart! If this wasn't stock trading, what was he doing?
I couldn't believe it. Wasn't Qiao Jue, like me, usually against stocks? Let alone investing in stocks, the two of them wouldn't even touch it!
Qiao Jue was already feeling guilty, and suddenly his junior brother called out to him so loudly that he discovered what he was doing.
He couldn't help but scold immediately: "Xiao Kong! Why are you shouting so loudly! Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. I, your senior brother, am trying to understand the enemy's every move. Right now, the stock market is booming, and everyone thinks stock trading is the right way to go. In order to refute this kind of talk, I have to do some research so that I can better oppose it!"
After Qiao Jue said this, he actually felt a little guilty. No matter whether Kong Jianxin believed it or not, he said it and tried his best to persuade him to believe it. If a lie is told too many times, it will become true. This is the case for Qiao Jue.
"Look at this, look at this. The current situation is extremely unfavorable for us! The stock price is rising every day. In the past three days, it even saw a huge increase, instantly making up for all the losses from the previous period. Not only that, there are no losses at all, and we're actually making a profit! If this continues, how can we convince others?"
This was also what Kong Jian was worried about. Although they had been arguing back and forth with June in the newspapers and everyone was paying close attention, Kong Jian knew one thing very well in his heart, that is, everyone was just watching for fun. If one day June's side really gave out concrete evidence and the price increases of various stocks came out, then the onlookers would turn to his side without hesitation. At that time, the views of their two senior brothers would be completely refuted and they would suffer a miserable defeat.
"Oh, we can only take it one step at a time." Qiao Jue comforted his junior brother, but his mind became active. It seems that June is also quite capable, otherwise his predictions would not be so accurate. He predicted which period would be falling and which period would be rising, and he really predicted all of them correctly!
If June is really the god of stocks, then can I follow him... and buy stocks according to June?
Of course, Kong Jian had no idea of his senior brother's psychological activities, and had no idea of what he was thinking. He just felt that he had to find more evidence to refute June in the coming time, to explain to everyone, especially all sectors of society, that the stock market is harmful and has no benefits.
So the article published in the newspaper was a bit more intense. If the communication was good before, now Kong Jian's article was completely critical, even a bit reckless, as if June, who agreed to open the stock market, was the culprit who would bring disaster to the country and the people.
Ding Ran would collect articles from The Economist every day. If she found any interesting ones, she would tell Jian Jianan about them. If she saw any bad articles, she would complain about the writers with her. During this period, the frequency of Feng and Rili appearing in Ding Ran's mouth increased greatly, and none of the words she used were good.
"Hey, honestly, I understand their thinking. After all, it's normal for people to become a little paranoid when they get stuck in a dead end. What's happening now completely contradicts their previous understanding, and they'll be confused and puzzled. If they can't express these emotions, they may even become paranoid."
"But so what? The facts are not determined by his will. His words are not final. He believes that the stock market will continue to fall and that it is uncontrollable, so the government must not allow this loophole. But from my perspective, although the stock market is uncontrollable, as long as appropriate regulatory measures are implemented and supporting policies are improved, then stocks will be completely within the scope of supervision and there is no need to worry."
"It's really bad to worry about things not happening again!"
Jian Jianan frowned like an old scholar. He had such a youthful and lovely face but spoke in such an old-fashioned way that even Ding Ran laughed.
"Okay, of course I believe you."
Ding Ran didn't come here to talk to Jian Jianan about this. She closed the newspaper and asked Jian Jianan, "By the way, Nan Nan, it's been so long. Do you think it's time to take action now?"
Jian Jianan wasn't a con man, so she certainly wouldn't take someone's money and then leave it there. Since she was responsible for the investments of her three roommates, she would report the month's investment status to them every once in a while, giving them peace of mind.
The investment results were initially revealed in the last report. Everyone's rate of return has increased significantly, not to mention that the growth rate has been increasing in recent weeks, and the return on investment has reached a new high.
Ding Ran believes that the time for Jian Jianan to sell his stocks is within these few days.
But Chen Muya had a different opinion. "No, no, no, Nannan, listen to me! The stock price has been rising these past few days, rising and rising. It has been positive for seven consecutive days, and I haven't seen it fall! So why don't you let it continue to rise? Put the money in the stock market and let it rise a little more. Wouldn't that way we can get more money?"
Anyway, there is no urgent need to use the money now.
Although Chen Muya did not care about this little money, ever since she set up a relatively simple stock price information exchange in the lobby on the first floor of the girls' dormitory to make amends, she has been completely fascinated by the mysterious stock market.
The stock market prices I see every day when I wake up are different. This feeling is so adventurous and exciting, and really fascinating!
Just like that, among the four girls in the dormitory, one thought that now was a good opportunity to take action, another thought that they could wait a little longer, and another remained silent and did not express any opinion, not wanting to disturb Jian Jianan's thoughts because of one person's opinion.
So what about the trader Jian Jianan? What does she think?
Facing the identical expectant gazes of his three companions, Jian Jianan shook his head inscrutablely and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, let's wait and see."
Zhang Yezi could see Jian Jianan's attitude towards stocks. She truly practiced what she said. What she wanted was long-term holding, not short-sighted investment.
She always chooses the right time and buys within her expected range. That is, once the stock falls to the range she expects, she will cover her position. Once the stock rises, she will not invest any more money in it.
In this way, after nearly half a year of investment, Jian Jianan's stock returns have reached an astonishing figure.
However, even so, she still had no intention of stopping.
Zhang Yezi and the other two had also discussed privately, "When will Nannan make a move? When is the best time to sell her stocks?"
Oh my, I really don't understand. Forget it, if I don't understand, I won't think about it. This problem is not something that ordinary people like them can figure out. It's better to hand it over to someone capable and let Jian Jianan worry about it alone!
Near the end of the semester, Kong Jian went to see his senior to discuss the publication plan for the next week. Unexpectedly, after knocking on the door, he did not hear any response from his senior. After thinking about it, he thought that it might be the same as before. His senior was engrossed in reading and did not hear his call, so he simply pushed the door open and walked in.
Unexpectedly, when he entered, he saw his senior brother slumped in a chair with a tearful expression. It's not that he didn't have tears. If you look closely at his eyes, you can see some traces of moisture.
"Brother! What's wrong with you?!"
Qiao Jue didn't even want to say anything and just groaned weakly a few times.
Kong Jian felt something was amiss, but guessed it might be his brother's personal matter, so he didn't feel comfortable asking further. So he just explained his purpose: "Brother, the stock price has been rising for a while now, and those guys in June were so proud of themselves. Now that the stock price has plummeted, it's time for us to strike back! It might keep falling for several days, and we can seize the opportunity to catch them off guard! I want to see how long they can keep their complacency!"
Unexpectedly, as Kong Jian spoke, his senior brother Qiao Jue's expression became worse and worse. In the end, it became extremely ugly, and his face turned completely dark and gloomy.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother? Didn't you get enough rest yesterday? Do you want to catch up on some sleep? I was worried that you hadn't received the news about the sharp drop in stock prices, so I thought of coming to inform you as soon as I heard it. We also need to quickly think of what to write for tomorrow's manuscript."
"I know... Of course I know..."
How could he not know about the stock market drop? He was deeply affected by it!
Kong Jian was completely confused, and just as he glanced over, he saw what was written in his senior brother's notebook.
This is……
"Brother! You bought stocks too!"
Otherwise, there is no way to explain his current expression, and the numbers on it that look like account records!
Qiao Jue covered his face, not wanting his junior to see his ugly expression. He couldn't be blamed for this! It was all that June's fault. The manuscript was so full of promises and so attractive. Didn't he get tempted for a moment? That was normal!
However, it was impossible for Kong Jian not to react to this. He had a look of disappointment on his face, and it was obvious that he was extremely disappointed with his senior brother.
"We both have the same goal. We both clearly believe that the stock market is not a good thing. We have been analyzing the pros and cons from this perspective for the past six months. But, brother, you, who fought alongside me in the newspaper yesterday, actually..."
At the end, Kong Jian was so emotional that he couldn't even speak. He took several deep breaths before continuing, "You actually invested money in it without my knowledge! And you lost it all!"
It sounded like Qiao Jue had to pay the money, which made Kong Jian even more difficult to accept.
The verbal battle with June in the Economist Daily would not make Kong Jian sad and angry, but would only make him more motivated. However, this behavior of his own people made him very disappointed, especially since this person was his senior brother whom he had always respected very much!
This is a blatant act of betrayal!
What happened between just two people could not change the course of history. Just when Jian Jianan was looking forward to Shan Jiqing's return, a big event happened.
It's good news.
The country officially announced that it would open the stock market in the domestic market.
Shenzhen and Shanghai are the two test sites.
Jian Jianan was shocked when he heard the news. This meant that the whole thing had been finalized, that is, the stock market was really going to be opened in the country!
