Chapter 287: bargain hunting
We went out this morning and stayed outside all day. Plus, we were very tense all day. So on the way back to the hotel after dinner, our family of four all felt a little exhausted.
Like wilted flowers.
As soon as I got off the taxi, I ran into Deng Jiaming, who was standing at the hotel entrance, waiting for someone.
Deng Jiaming's eyes sparkled when he saw Gu Jiu's family of four. When they passed by, he greeted them warmly: "Hi, Gu Jiu, Ms. Lin, my two babies, how are you?"
Gu Jiu ignored him.
Lin Shu looked at the bright smile on his face and asked in confusion, "Hello, did you encounter any happy event today?"
Otherwise, how could he laugh so happily.
Deng Jiaming couldn't help but raise his lips and followed their steps, "I'm so happy today, Ms. Lin, have you finished dinner?"
Lin Shu was confused and looked back at the hotel entrance. "We ate. Weren't you waiting for someone at the hotel entrance just now? Why did you come in with us?"
Deng Jiaming touched his nose awkwardly, then turned back to look at the hotel entrance, "My friend probably won't come tonight. I won't wait for an hour anymore. I'll go up with you guys."
Gu Jiu stood at the elevator entrance and pressed the elevator button. While waiting for the elevator, he glanced at him disapprovingly and said, "We will go back to wash up and go to bed. We don't have time to entertain you."
"I'll go back to my room and not disturb you." Deng Jiaming was in a good mood today and didn't bother with him. He smiled in his heart, but his face showed an expression of concern for them, "Ms. Lin, how was your visit to the New York Stock Exchange today?"
Thinking of today's experience, Lin Shu felt tired, but fortunately the result was good. "That's the situation. We can talk about it tomorrow. We need to go back and rest early."
The second child had already fallen asleep in Gu Jiu's arms, and the first child beside him was the only one trying hard to stay awake.
When I get back, I have to help them take a bath and then put them to bed. I'm not in the mood to chat with Deng Jiaming right now.
Deng Jiaming misunderstood, "I told you a long time ago that this place is a large gambling venue. It's a game played by capital. Ordinary people like us can't get involved. Look at you guys. This is the result of not listening to advice. Do you believe what I say now? Although Gu Jiu and I don't get along at home, when I go out, I don't want the Chinese people to suffer losses..."
Blah blah blah......
There was a buzzing sound in his ears like mosquitoes. Lin Shu looked at this handsome young man with a speechless look, wondering how could he be so talkative.
Also, why is it that he has so much inner drama when someone just says something casually?
This is quite imaginative.
"...If you lose, you lose. Don't go tomorrow. The money you lost this time should be considered as a lesson. Don't be ignorant and participate in this kind of capital game in the future. We are just ordinary people. We can't participate in that kind of game."
Finally, he seemed to realize something and looked up, about to ask something.
At this time, the elevator arrived and Gu Jiulinshu entered the elevator holding the child.
Deng Jiaming hurriedly followed in, "How much money did you lose this time? Do you have money to continue playing here? Do you have money for a return flight?"
Seeing how worried he was about them, Lin Shu couldn't help laughing again, and kindly explained to him: "Mr. Deng, thank you for your concern. We made a small profit at the New York Stock Exchange today, so whether we continue to play here or the return flight tickets, it will not affect us."
Deng Jiaming was stunned by the news. "Ah? A small profit... a small profit. No, are you sure you didn't lose money?"
Lin Shu joked: "Although I came from the countryside, at least I can do simple arithmetic and I can tell whether I'm making a profit or a loss today."
Ah ~
Deng Jiaming was a little dumbfounded. This was different from what he expected.
Deng Jiaming's eyes met with Dabao in Lin Shu's arms. He shuddered, thought of a possibility, and smiled with ease, "If you lose money, you lose money. I won't laugh at you. Why do you say you made money if you lost money?"
You have to know that his two uncles have been here for many years. They are more familiar with this place than Gu Jiu and his friends. How can a family of country bumpkins play with something that even they can't?
Deng Jiaming didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Jiu glared at him and said unhappily, "You said it was a loss, so it's a loss. We are very tired today and don't want to talk to a retard. Don't disturb us."
Deng Jiaming's breathing became heavier: "......"
So angry!
"Hey! What's your attitude? If you lose, then you lose. I can lend you the money for the flight back home. Do you have to be so sarcastic and use me as a punching bag?"
He is such an ungrateful person who takes your kindness for granted.
Gu Jiu was too lazy to talk nonsense. When the elevator opened on the 20th floor, he kicked the person out again.
Buzz!
"He has been a mean boy since he was young. Just ignore him in the future." Gu Jiu warned his wife before closing the elevator.
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying anything.
She thought the boy was quite funny.
After a tiring day, they returned to the suite and settled the children. Gu Jiu and Lin Shu took a shower and fell on the bed. They really didn't have any extra thoughts and fell asleep in seconds.
When Lin Shu woke up the next day, he hurriedly washed up and took his two children out for breakfast.
Even Dabao comforted her and said there was no rush today.
But it was no use, this comfort didn't work.
After breakfast, the couple did not catch the subway this time, but took a taxi directly to Wall Street.
When they arrived at the trading hall, the fat white man was already waiting for them at the same seat as yesterday.
The two sides simply greeted each other and waited for the market to open.
Today was a relatively easy day. The market closed immediately after opening in the morning and I was able to get off work as soon as it opened.
"I calculated that we made nearly 50,000 US dollars today, and now we have 20,000 US dollars left in the account. Why don't we look at another stock and invest this money in it?" Gu Jiu found that since it was so easy to make money in the stock market, he decided to use the remaining money in the account.
Lin Shu looked at the countless screens in the trading hall and the stocks scrolling on the screens, and really didn't know which one to choose?
She whispered to Dabao in her arms, "Son, which other stocks will rise tomorrow?"
In fact, when Dabao was taking a taxi here, he closed his eyes and went into his villa to check the stock market trends of the past few days. He wrote down the dozen or so stocks that would hit the daily limit tomorrow.
There are more than a dozen checks, and those that have hit the daily limit today should be excluded because it is difficult to buy those that have hit the daily limit.
You can only choose stocks that are still rising and falling normally today.
He glanced at the clock on the wall and whispered, "It's still early now. Usually the price is lowest around 10 to 10:30. We'll buy then."
Although Gu Jiu and Lin Shu's English level was not very good, they could still speak some simple words and ten Arabic numerals, so if they wanted to buy a stock, they could just tell the trader the stock code.
Lin Shu wrote down the selected stocks in a notebook. The fat white man sitting next to him stretched his neck, saw the stock code, pointed at the notebook excitedly and said: "Oh, this stock has been falling. If you buy it, you will be ripped off by capital."
"No, it will go up." Lin Shu waved his hand and made a rising gesture.
The fat white man didn't believe it, but seeing that they wanted to buy it, he had to pay attention to this stock.
"Ha, you guys are really here again today." Deng Jiaming wandered behind a few people and suddenly spoke, causing Gu Jiu and Lin Shu to turn around and look at him.
Gu Jiu said in a bad tone: "Why are you here and following us again?"
"The New York Stock Exchange doesn't have any rules that prohibit me from entering." Deng Jiaming glanced at the notebook in Lin Shu's hand, found the code on it, and found the stock on the screen.
Deng Jiaming was accompanied by his cousin Deng Guolong.
Deng Jiaming didn't understand stocks, but Deng Guolong did. He just glanced at the code and soon found the stock on the screen. "Hiss, this stock has been falling for so many days. The huge turnover at the bottom can only mean one possibility. It may explode. There is no way to force the distribution of chips. You still buy such stocks. Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
Dabao hummed after listening to it. It was a good analysis, but no one could have imagined that it was such a stock that caused the final frenzy in the world.
Just like a person has a moment of clarity before he dies, the same is true for some stocks.
Deng Guolong's words made sense, but Lin Shu still believed in his son. "Maybe today is the bottom, and it will rebound tomorrow?"
"You...you guys are speculating in stocks. You actually have a lucky mentality in the stock market. The probability of this is as high as winning the lottery jackpot. You bet that it will rebound, and it bets that you don't believe in evil. In the end, you will definitely lose."
Because retail investors cannot beat the main players.
"Diving again!"
Gu Jiu's exclamation attracted the attention of several people, and they were all shocked to see the stocks on the screen plummeting.
Deng Jiaming said with some gloating: "I advised you yesterday that you are not good at playing the game of the capital market, but you didn't listen and bought such a crappy stock. Now you have lost money. Sell it quickly, or I'm afraid it will hit the limit down soon."
Fortunately, before he could finish his words, the dive stopped, and he went up a little bit, but then fell again.
Dabao saw that the price had dropped to a new low, and his eyes sparkled, "Mom, buy it."
Lin Shu did not hesitate at all and asked the trader to enter with full position.
"Still buying? Still buying when the price has dropped so much?" Deng Jiaming was worried for them.
Deng Guolong also advised: "It's right to cover your position when the price drops to a certain level, but it's a bit risky to go all in. If it falls further, you won't have the money to cover your position."
"We are doing this and our success or failure depends on this one move." Lin Shu knew that there was a saying in later generations called "all in".
The trader's hands were quick enough and the price started to rise as soon as he bought in.
"......" Deng Guolong was speechless. Could it be that this family of four really has the luck to trade stocks?
The rise is not fast, it is rising slowly, but it is more reassuring than falling. At least rising means making money.
The fat white man was still confused when he saw this scene.
Gu Jiu pushed him and said, "Is there any money in the account? If there is, deposit it quickly."
The fat white man looked at the trend of this stock and felt that it might have really reached the bottom and was now starting to rebound.
After some hesitation, I watched the slowly rising stock price, gritted my teeth, and bought 2,000 shares. In Chinese terms, it was to test the waters, just in case I got it right by chance.
Deng Guolong saw that the fat white guys had built positions, and the stock was rising slowly, with more rises than falls. Could it be that this stock was really going to rise?
Not to mention that he was really tempted and wanted to activate the account for trading.
But when I thought about the money I lost ten years ago, my excitement instantly cooled down.
By the morning closing, the stock had risen three points, making a huge profit. The fat white man insisted on treating them to a meal to thank them for helping him make money.
Deng Guolong and Deng Jiaming shamelessly followed along.
It was also at the lunch table that Lin Shu and Gu Jiu found out that the fat man was called Peter, and that he had been investing in stocks for twenty years, a genuine old stock investor.
Deng Jiaming had only heard about how dangerous the stock market was before, but when he saw Gu Jiu make so much money in just one morning on his first contact, he felt a little itchy.
"Uncle, how do I open a stock market account? I see they are making money, so I want to open an account and try it out."
"If you want to get rich, you have to stay away from the stock market. It's not something that ordinary people like you and me can easily get involved in."
Deng Guolong is still not optimistic about the stock market. In his impression, you are either losing money or on the way to losing money.
Anyway, it is very difficult to take money away from the stock market.
Deng Jiaming suppressed his eager thoughts and asked unwillingly, "Can't you play it a little bit smaller?"
"No, once you get addicted to this, it's as hard to quit as gambling."
Deng Jiaming was shocked. Is this thing so poisonous?
