Chapter 1217 Comfort
0607In the past two years, the stock market has ushered in a bull market. There is a saying in the stock market that as long as you buy stocks, even a fool can make money.
Indeed, almost every stock has been rising in those two years, but the difference is that the rise is big or small.
Entering 2008, the global financial crisis broke out, and the market fell from the highest point of more than 6,000 points in 2007 to less than 3,000 points now.
In just a few months, it fell by more than half.
Wei Qianshan is doing private equity, so he was naturally affected. If there was no business in Tangcheng in the past few years, I am afraid he would have wanted to jump off the building.
There is a saying in the market that people who speculate in stocks this year are already queuing up to go to the balcony.
Zhang Xiaobai knows about the stock market, but he didn't expect it to be so affected. He sighed and said, "It seems that those who play with capital are really not as good as those who play with industry."
The industry that makes money the fastest is playing with capital, but it is also the industry that loses money the fastest.
Zhao Tianhao said, "Don't worry, Wei Qianshan is fine. He has been doing private equity for so many years and knows when to advance and retreat."
Zhang Xiaobai doesn't care about Wei Qianshan, but he cares about Wei Wei. If the family is not going well, she won't be smooth either.
The bald Li Bao suddenly said, "Brother Bai, Lv Hang seems to have lost a lot of money."
Lv Hang was not at the party this time, he happened to be on duty today.
Zhang Xiaobai was shocked and said, "He also traded stocks?"
Li Bao sighed and said, "Don't mention it, this guy is an old stock investor, he made millions last year, this year he not only lost all his earnings, but also seems to have lost a lot."
Zhang Xiaobai was very surprised, in his mind Lv Hang was a relatively stable person, how could he go down this path?
Zhang Xiaobai asked, "Do you know how much he lost?"
Li Bao shook his head and said, "I don't know, it is said that he lost a lot, last year he wanted to drag me to trade stocks with him, I was almost tempted."
Speaking of this, Li Bao also wants to thank Wei Qianshan.
Last year, the stock market was very good, and many people around Li Bao were trading stocks, and they didn't even know any common sense, but as long as they entered this, they made money.
Those second-generation rich playmates were all encouraging Li Bao to invest in stocks, but he never moved, thinking that the water here was too deep, and Brother Bai had told him not to easily enter unfamiliar fields.
Later, when he learned that Lu Hang was also investing in stocks, and was an old stock investor, Li Bao asked some questions.
Lu Hang explained everything from theory to practice, and strongly suggested that Li Bao join, saying that he, an old stock investor, would definitely not be able to accompany him, and he would be right as long as he followed him to choose stocks.
Li Bao still believed in this intellectual and was finally a little tempted, but he still held back.
Then he asked Wei Qianshan, the private equity tycoon told him not to enter the stock market easily. The market is so good now, but there are not many retail investors who really make money. They are all sucked away by the market makers. Once the market is not good, the market makers can pat their butts and leave, and retail investors can only be cut.
Who would have thought that this year's stock market was so turbulent that even the market makers didn't have time to run away.
After listening to Wei Qianshan, Li Bao didn't invest in stocks with Lu Hang.
Shi Lei said: "Xiaobai, you can't blame others for this kind of thing, it's all greed."
Most stockholders lose money because of greed.
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Talk to him another day."
After all, we are brothers, we can't just watch him suffer. Let's see if we can help after understanding the situation.
Jiang Yingquan suddenly said: "Brother Bai, Wang Dalin came to me and wanted to sponsor a batch of supplies for our base camp. I didn't agree or refuse, and said I would talk to you when you come back."
Zhang Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "Let him talk to me directly."
Jiang Yingquan smiled and said: "So you accept him?"
They are all people who hang out on the streets of Tangcheng. Jiang Yingquan watched Wang Dalin suddenly rise, then disappear, and then make a comeback. He has a good impression of this young man.
He really hopes that Wang Dalin can join this big family.
Zhang Xiaobai said, "I asked Hu Zi to investigate him. He has done well in recent years. He is sensible, principled and loyal. You can try to make friends with him."
In fact, Zhang Xiaobai's impression of Wang Dalin is not bad, especially after the last conversation, he has added a few more points to his impression.
With more friends, the road is easier to walk. More friends, more roads. If Wang Dalin is sincere, he can become a friend.
After walking so many roads, Zhang Xiaobai found that he still prefers men with a sense of chivalry.
First there was Brother Hao and Brother Hui, then the second brother and the first brother, as well as Jiang Yingquan and now Wang Dalin.
Drinking and chatting, not only talking nonsense, but also talking about business.
Finally, Zhao Tianhao made a closing statement, looking forward to moving into the base camp as soon as possible.
On the top of the mountain, in the courtyard, drinking wine in the spring breeze and overlooking the scenery below the mountain is also a kind of enjoyment.
After drinking too much, everyone dispersed.
Zhang Xiaobai went home and talked about Lu Hang, "I really didn't expect that Lu Hang actually traded stocks."
Su Tong said, "What's unexpected? It's so easy to make money, who wouldn't be tempted? It's just that my rationality can overcome my emotions, and most people can't overcome it."
Zhang Xiaobai smiled bitterly and said, "I have to talk to this guy. Don't be angry after losing so much."
Su Tong was silent for a moment and said, "You can talk, but you have to know the limit. Don't criticize him. Comfort him first."
Zhang Xiaobai nodded and said, "I think so too. Let him feel relieved."
...
...
The next night, Zhang Xiaobai came to Lu Hang's door just after he got off work.
Lu Hang was a little surprised and quickly took out a good cigarette.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Who gave you the gift?"
Lü Hang smiled bitterly and said, "Who gave me a gift? I always have good cigarettes at home, which I leave for my friends to smoke."
Zhang Xiaobai took a puff of cigarette happily and said, "Don't be too honest. After all, you are now the director who controls the financial power of Dengfeng Steel. What's wrong with someone giving you cigarettes and alcohol? Just don't make mistakes of principle."
Zhang Xiaobai's words have made it very clear that you can get some benefits in some things that can be left or right.
Lü Hang shook his head and said, "That won't work. You put me in this position, and I have to be responsible for you. Besides, my salary and bonus are already quite a lot, so I am satisfied."
Zhang Xiaobai had no choice but to know that he was a very principled person, otherwise he would not have liked him in the first place.
When they met by chance, he would rather be beaten than violate his principles of faith.
Zhang Xiaobai restrained his smile and asked, "I heard that you trade stocks?"
Lü Hang showed a look of shock, and then slowly recovered to his natural state, turning into a face of dejection, and nodded weakly.
Zhang Xiaobai continued to ask: "How much did you lose?"
Lv Hang hung his head and smoked, and was silent for a long time, then stretched out a finger, "One million!"
Zhang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, one million was nothing to him, "It's okay, it's only one million, it won't affect you!"
Lv Hang raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Bai, one million, not a small amount!"
Zhang Xiaobai patted his shoulder and said seriously: "One million is a lesson, not much at all, don't speculate in stocks in the future, make money and live a down-to-earth life."
Lv Hang nodded and said: "Don't worry, every failure makes you wiser, don't fantasize about anything anymore."
Greed and fantasy are the root causes.
