To collect news and market trends before the New York Stock Exchange opens. Wang Zhengfang has to get up around four in the morning every day, turn on his computer, and check the news and analysis on various financial websites. Of course, the first thing to do when you get up is to check the market value of all stocks in each stock account on the previous day. The growth in his account was amazing, increasing by fifty to sixty times compared to when he first opened the account a year ago. Looking at such rapid growth in results made him extremely proud, and he kept thinking that if his acquaintances knew about it, they would definitely think it was a great achievement. However, I know clearly that I started with a small amount of capital. Even if I used some means and strategies to roll it over and over again, it would not be enough to look down on my peers. The recognition of achievement depends on the amount itself. In the current situation, if it is not over tens of millions, no one will pay attention to you. Under the current market conditions, many people can achieve similar ratios by copying the stock market, which is not really a great achievement at the moment. The market prospects brought by the Internet and technology stocks have caused the stock market to soar exponentially, although you will find that it is not easy after actually entering the market. But there are still too many successful examples, and I know in my heart that it is all thanks to those tricks that my wallet has grown exponentially. Compared to those who actually copied the work, he is just a small wizard among small wizards. Newspaper reports on Wall Street's new elites and analysts say their incomes are even more staggering.
Now everyone believes that times have changed, the new economy is taking off, and people urgently need to seize today's opportunities. Furthermore, the meaning of making money is different from before. Any Internet company, listed or unlisted, can easily accumulate unimaginable wealth in a very short period of time.
People need to make more and more money just to catch up with the small piece of the pie held by the new tech elite. All past achievements seemed to be insignificant overnight. Investors no longer care about the tax differences like they did in the past, because it is easy to make money and they no longer care about how much they spend. Their consumption habits have changed and they have more money. Under such circumstances, Wang Zhengfang could not admit that he had made money, let alone accept that he had become rich. The only comfort and good thing I feel is that I can still squeeze into this crazy rising market immediately. To be able to participate in the surging and growing stock market, you have to be one of the lucky few. It is certainly nothing great, and it is definitely not something worth taking a leap towards. Although it cannot be compared with the rumored soaring stock market, I can't help but feel complacent. Moreover, thinking that there were many people who were not as good as him, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. There is certainly no need to look away from legends. The most valuable ones are placed in the basket. However, once you make money, you still want to get more. In fact, the more you get, the less it matters. We have to work harder and harder to get it out. Seeing that the entire society and the entire country's money seem to be invested in securities, mutual funds and bond markets, the public feels that money can be easily obtained by chance. I became more and more dissatisfied with the small increase in the amount of money I earned, and I became more and more anxious. I had to put all my capital into it without holding back at all. When the opportunity came, I had to rush forward with all my strength, and only step on the brakes after I had made enough money. However, if you are impatient, your good luck will end immediately. You will feel that there are endless errors in the operation, but they are just minor mistakes. You must be sure that the opportunity will still come and you must not miss it.
However, although the opportunity has made him successful at the moment, Wang Zhengfang's previous experience of being at a disadvantage has made him not only cautious but also determined to work out strange and surprising methods. Past experience made him not believe that regular operations could bring him much benefit. He had also long understood the scene of fierce competition and was no longer willing to blindly get involved. Before Wang Zhengfang devoted his whole heart and soul to the stock market, he had been out of work for a long time. At first, because he had no job, he planned to see if he could make some income, to save face, and also to show his wife, friends and relatives that he was busy making money. It can also be said that it is the common human nature to love gambling and betting that made him ignore his wife's opposition and prefer to get involved in things close to gambling rather than do any more formal work. Later, when he was able to really earn some income from it, he felt more justified and could prove that this was his job and not just a way to spend his days doing nothing. As he made more money, he became more confident. His relaxed and comfortable job was more impressive than his wife's career as an accountant. In addition, what makes me most satisfied is that I can finally catch up with this stock boom. Although I am not a technology person in the computer age, as long as I get involved in the stock boom in the Internet age, I can feel the same prestige as computer technology people, and I can also participate in the craze of money. And he no longer feels like a marginal figure in modern technology, because he is already an investor in the latest cutting-edge industries such as optical fiber, biochemistry, etc.
Wang Zhengfang and his wife have no children and have little family burden, which is the main reason why he can still live his life so freely and casually at this time. He originally worked as a freelance photographer for magazines, providing photographic works for some Taiwanese or local newspapers and magazines, or doing some designated work, going out to specific occasions or events, taking a bunch of photos and sending them back to the magazines. Later, he became more focused on taking artistic photos of his own preferences and studying photography itself. They also pay more attention to the artistry of photo taking and are even more keen to send their works out to participate in competitions. Instead of paying attention to the frequent visits to the channels, he did not pay much attention to the communication with the editors, and naturally his path became narrower and narrower. The road is gradually being paved by newcomers, and more and more samples sent out are being returned. The editors familiar with the magazine were replaced, their tastes changed, they no longer looked down on his work, and no longer assigned work to him. Since there is not much pressure in life, some people work according to their interests and do not care much whether the manuscripts are accepted or not. Fortunately, Zhang Jingyuan's income has always been stable, so he can do his job more calmly. Of course, once my income is low, I can’t help but feel like I owe my wife. Originally, both of them had income, but now they only rely on one person's income, which makes them feel uncomfortable. When considering this issue, of course the first thing to consider is how to take the next step. I gradually got used to staying at home, but when spending time at home became the norm, I didn’t care so much anymore.
He has always believed that the meaning of work is to make a living, and he has been doing informal work that is not very recognized and has no great development prospects. He also knows that not only his wife but others will think he has no future. He can only hope to achieve something one day to impress others. But he didn't want to live a mediocre nine-to-five life. I didn't expect that now I can follow the trend and get such a good thing. I can make a living just by playing on the computer at home, and I can also make a lot of wealth. The world has really changed.
The reason why Wang Zhengfang entered the photography industry was not only due to chance but also because of his nature. He was not good at socializing since he was a child and could not express himself in words. I studied fine arts in college, and by chance I learned how to use a camera. I discovered that by hiding behind the camera I could hide myself very well, and at the same time I could express myself through the lens with ease and comfort. Then it naturally became his profession. He learned to use the lens to see the world around him, and gradually became familiar with framing, angles and screen division. Participate in off-campus competitions and win prizes. After graduation, it was natural for him to enter the industry that he was good at.
Without work to push me, I just sit at home and become lazy. I don’t want to do anything. The garbage in the darkroom hasn’t been cleaned up for a long time, and I don’t want to go in and clean it up. Although there is nothing to do, I don’t think it’s a big deal. My wife works as an accountant in a large accounting firm. Although the paperwork is hard, she earns a good income. Wang Zhengfang therefore calmly entered the capital market and threw away the hobby or career that he had pursued for half his life. The whole mind is drawn to the choppy stock chart. The flow of money was extremely stimulating. It made him no longer feel unemployed and useless, and no longer considered himself a social outcast. Checking stock market intelligence and headlines every day made Wang Zhengfang realize that he was no longer a pitiful little guy who made a living by taking a few photos and asking people to send them to him. The best thing is that you no longer have to ask for favors or bow to others. I can make a lot of money just by staying at home and typing on the computer. It is such a good thing that there is such a thing in the world.
After devoting himself to stock investment, he decided that his regular daily work was to buy and sell stocks online. Because there is no way out, and secondly, I am really interested. Wang Zhengfang was willing to study it and found that online stock trading itself was like the most interesting and fun online game. Besides, the timing is right now, so I spend a lot of time every day selecting and comparing stocks, diligently comparing charts and searching for stock market news. Carefully selected stocks have brought in skyrocketing returns. Seeing the money rolling in on the account, I became more and more proud. Although I have no ambition and it is not a job or profession that is recognized by everyone. But as long as there is money made, it is more interesting and meaningful than anything else. According to the compensation received, it can be said to be a very successful thing now. While feeling proud of myself, I would often think that if I could earn a certain amount of money I could stop. Although you will not stop doing it, you don't have to operate it so carefully. You can just leave it there and make money on its own. How nice!
However, the market cannot always be as expected, and good times will not last forever. You will make money if you sell it in time, but it is very difficult to get it right. After a round of easy gains, it becomes normal to make mistakes and get caught in a reversal of the trend. In addition, they are impatient, rash and greedy, and they want to make a big profit in one go. They are often impatient to use the loans provided by the stock market to buy and short as much as possible, which makes the situation even worse. Either they are stuck and unable to move, or their short selling is pursued by the brokerage firm and they are squeezed out. I often look at the large number of hot stocks that are trapped and feel at a loss. Once, he was trapped and the stock price had fallen to a point far below the amount he actually held. The brokerage firm had to demand his money back again and again, otherwise he would have lost all his money. He was pushed into a corner and decided to do something drastic. He simply took advantage of the news that company X was being acquired and exaggerated the news on an online message board. Unexpectedly, this helped fuel the trend, causing the stock price of company X to double, and he was thus saved from danger. Having tasted the sweetness, he began to select targets at the right time and post fabricated news on various message boards. After repeated exploration and trial, I gradually found the secret, and the more I practiced, the more I gained experience.
As for playing golf, Wang Zhengfang did not start playing golf every day after he made money in the stock market. The fact is that since there was no work for him at the magazine, he was bored at home and the golf course was not far away. He stayed at home with nothing to do and everything went wrong. He was so depressed that he started drinking. He drank more and more. He didn't want to become a drunkard. Once he drank too much, he could clearly feel that his body's organs were not functioning properly. Half of my body felt numb, and my hand holding the wine pallet was shaking constantly. When I poured the wine into the pallet, I often trembled while pouring it into the container. I began to wonder if I had symptoms of alcohol poisoning. After a hangover, I often feel listless all day and feel so depressed that everything good seems boring.
The company where my wife Zhang Jingyuan works provides the couple with good benefits as well as social and medical insurance. Therefore, for Wang Zhengfang, who has no job, seeing a doctor is not a problem in terms of cost and it is convenient as well. So if I feel unwell, I am happy to go to the hospital for a check-up. The results of the examination showed that there was nothing serious. The doctor recommended that he do some regular exercise, which is a more effective and superior maintenance method than taking medicine or seeing a doctor. So he intensified his practice to cheer himself up and exercise his body.
I didn't expect to be so addicted to it, it's as fun as playing stocks. As soon as he started playing the white ball, he immediately became interested in it. Especially after he became better at it and made friends with a group of veteran Chinese golfers, he spent all his time thinking about improving his skills and the joy of winning. Since playing golf costs a lot of time and money, Wang Zhengfang naturally no longer needs any other entertainment. He even doesn't watch TV or movies much anymore. If he does watch anything, he only watches golf competition programs. Gradually, I became better at playing and established a reputation as a good golfer among my fellow Chinese golfers.
Every afternoon, as soon as the stock market closed, Wang Zhengfang couldn't wait to play golf at the country club near his home under the scorching sun. It had almost become a habit. If I don't go one day, I will feel the urge to go early the next morning and can't wait to report. My hands and feet even started to practice the swing involuntarily. Investing in stocks and golf are his two favorite things at the moment. Of course, with the stock market performing so well, what could be more exciting than making money? His original dream-like photography work has gradually faded and slowly become a thing of the past. It can only be said that it was once a career that he devoted himself to. Occasionally I pick up my photographic equipment, but I no longer have the passion to touch it again and again and not let it go. Even the momentary feeling of excitement was gone. The interest that I have regarded as my second life for a long time was thrown away so easily. Is it the magic of money or reality? It turns out that work and interests were once combined. Compared to most people I know, I feel this kind of career is much more fulfilling. Although the salary is not high, his requirements are not high either. As long as he can make a living, he does not need to compare himself with others. And in fact, my wife has always had a good job, so money has never been a pressure. But when there were fewer jobs, and sometimes none at all, I felt I had no skills to make a living, and I couldn't explain myself to my wife. Fortunately, he managed to squeeze into this crazy market by accident, although Zhang Jingyuan ridiculed him at first, saying that he couldn't fool people by fooling around. But things that can make money will never be put on the table. He felt he had responded to her sarcasm. The ups and downs of the stock market are more exciting than playing blackjack in Las Vegas. A hobby is a job that captures all your attention. Now I wouldn't do my old job even if it came to me. It takes so long to earn so little money, and I have to rush around, taking pictures, washing and cleaning. He was scheming for personal gain at the risk of his life.
Money may not really bring any meaning to life, but it does bring fulfillment, and living this way is more real. Although time flies faster, days pass by in the blink of an eye as I stare at the market board. However, the feeling of struggle fills my whole body and occupies every moment of every day. All emotional movements are dominated by stock market trends. Of course, victory on the football field brings another dose of anesthesia to life. From time to time, you can feel the joy overwhelm you.
Although Wang Zhengfang lived a miserable life, Zhang Jingyuan did not think so. She thought: "You don't work and sit at home all day. What other man is like you?"
"Stock trading is a legitimate livelihood. There's nothing wrong with that. At this time, it's natural to do business at home."
"That's not business at all." "Do you have to punch a clock in to work to make money? Investing to make a living is just lazy and greedy. Aren't you too communist? You're an accountant yourself, how could you say that to me?"
Especially because of his concerns about Shen Luxue, Wang Zhengfang deliberately avoided contact with his wife at home. Although nothing really happened and he had no guilt, he did not want to show his inner uneasiness in front of Zhang Jingyuan. He didn't mention the chance encounter with her classmate at the stadium during the day, but he didn't feel guilty about it.
I woke up from a dream at night and found myself with Shen Luxue in the dream. We were not close, but close enough. In the intermittent dream clouds, I returned to a time that had never existed before, and I even dreamed about it. With his head resting on the bed rails, he recalled the past with a deep feeling. Zhang Jingyuan, who lived in a separate room from him, had fallen asleep. He fearlessly and silently recalled the situation in his dream, his thoughts lingering on Shen Luxue all the way, feeling sad and distressed, wondering if he had fallen in love with her.
"No," he stammered, avoiding direct recognition; "I admire the old Chen Luxue. If I have a love interest, it is also an image from the past."
