When she entered, her father was watching television. He was pouring tea into a cup from the teapot in his hand. The colorful light from the television screen reflected the changing shadows on the glass cup.
His father was over 50 years old. He had black hair and bright eyes. He looked much younger than his actual age. From his tightly shut lips, one could tell that he was a man of few words.
He was so focused on pouring tea into his cup that he didn't even notice Wang Gao entering.
His mother was cooking in the kitchen. The exhaust hood rumbled, mixing with the sound from the television, making it seem like there was someone in the house.
Wang Gao took the initiative to sit beside his father.
He rarely showed such closeness to his father. Ever since he was young, he rarely talked to his father. It was not because he did not like his father, but because in his eyes, his father was always like a serious godfather. His face was solemn and unapproachable. Every time the teacher complained or his grades were low, he would approach him and teach him a lesson face-to-face, or even scold him.
He knew that his father was so angry because he had embarrassed him and disappointed him.
He didn't know that his father did that because he loved him. He hoped that he would walk in the direction that he hoped for and that he would work hard to be his pride. When he grew up, his father wouldn't lecture him like he did when he was young, but he would still be serious and quiet.
His father was silent because he grew up in a single-parent family. As early as his youth, he matured earlier than his peers. Secondly, he inherited the genes of his father, who was an underground worker. He spoke less and observed more. He used an extremely introverted, low-key, and hidden way to protect his life. Therefore, Wang Gao felt that his father was dignified and not easy to approach. But Wang Gao's mother's personality was extremely different. She was cheerful, optimistic, and positive. Wang Gao inherited his mother's personality.
"Dad, I went to see Grandma today. She's in good health and looks good.”Wang Gao took the initiative to break the silence.
"Yes, filial piety." The father's voice wasn't loud, but the word 'filial piety' carried weight, as if he was proud of everything his son had done.
Wang Gao understood what his father meant.
"Dad, do you know anything about stocks?" Wang Gao unnaturally changed the topic to stocks. He felt that his wording was inappropriate, but he couldn't take it back.
"Do you think your dad is an old antique? Your dad is a leader." The father was obviously unhappy with his son's words. It hurt his self-esteem. From his son's words, he could sense that his son was outdated. He was very unhappy, but he couldn't flare up because his son didn't mean it.
"That's not what I meant. I'm just asking if you know anything about stocks.”Wang Gao explained gently. He clearly felt that his words were inappropriate.
" Why wouldn't I know? It's causing the entire country's people to not work properly. The first thing they do when they get to work is to turn on their computers and look at the stock information. When they pass by the office, everyone will sit neatly and not move, as if they are working seriously on their computers. When they get closer, all the screens are showing the stock curve. When they see someone, they will hear a scream. That's the secret code to inform everyone to switch screens. However, there are also people who are obsessed with it and don't even react when they hear the secret code. Today, a client even complained to me. His subordinates were trading stocks during working hours and were perfunctory in their work. If they did not rectify this bad atmosphere of everyone working and trading stocks, no one would work at work.”the father said angrily, obviously not bothering about his son's disrespectful question.
Looking at his father's indignant expression, Wang Gao could only obediently say,"That's right. However, can you eliminate the shareholders of your company by yourself?”
" He's disobedient. I'll deduct his salary." The father glared at his son as if he was dissatisfied with his son.
"That lousy salary doesn't make money from stocks. Besides, it's impossible for them to be discovered every time. There are policies and countermeasures. They installed a bell on the door.”Wang Gao deliberately provoked
"So the enemy is so cunning and scheming.”His father had an epiphany and his eyes widened. He had also recently realized that his son had grown up, not only physically but also mentally.
"However, this also shows that stocks are too attractive. They can move the hearts of the people and attract the attention of everyone.”Wang Gao said.
Wang Gao was right. The stock market was indeed very attractive. Its charm came from the fact that it was like a huge casino. When you entered, it was like putting money into a slot machine. You could lose money at any time, and you could win money at any time. It was as if the probability of winning or losing was the same, as if it was fair to every gambler. Some people won money here and left happily. Then, they stimulated him to want to win more and came back again. Some people left empty-handed, but it aroused his desire to make a comeback. When he saved enough money, he came back, hoping to win back what he had lost. However, most of them lost more and more. This made the casino look like a huge bottomless pit. Canisters of money fell into it and disappeared in an instant. However, he was very charming, attracting countless gamblers to come and go, coming and going, and coming and going endlessly. This was because he had a chance to win and lose, and because he gave you the hope of winning at any time. However, it was human greed that ruined his wealth. People were always unwilling to stop rationally when they won and would only stop when they lost. This was why in the casino, you always felt that the probability of losing was greater than the probability of winning. This was why greed made people poor.
Greed was human nature. The essential difference between humans and animals was that animals could only listen to their instincts, while humans could control and overcome their instincts. Confucius said,"" Self-restraint and returning to propriety is benevolence " meant that only by overcoming one's own instincts could one establish one's moral etiquette and reflect one's dignity.
Then, in the casino, perhaps a person who could surpass greed was the basic quality to win.
"In a place where money is scammed, the common people are like unarmed people. How can they win against an organization with real guns and bullets? They have first-hand information and know the technology.”His father's expression changed slightly, as if a nerve had been stimulated.
"That's right. Dad, you have a deep understanding of the stock market.”Wang Gao agreed.
A certain nerve of the father was provoked by his son, and he became more talkative.
" During lunch, I listened to the employees talking about stocks. A proudly praised himself and followed up in time, earning five points that day. B dejectedly blamed himself for not selling, but lost five points in the end. The words I heard the most all day were,'profit, loss'. It was as if there were only four words left in Chinese culture: profit, loss," the father continued to vent his dissatisfaction.
Winning and losing, this is not only the culture of China, but also the culture of the whole world. Think about it, all social activities in human society are measured by winning and losing. Whether it's business management or individual business, the financial aspect is always using profit and loss to express the company's competitiveness. In the arena, victory and defeat are always used to express the final result of the competition. The winner indicates the strength. Therefore, in human culture, there is no one who is not filled with profit and loss. Victory and defeat had become an indicator of all activities in human society. From this indicator, people could understand the strength of companies, enterprises, individual groups, and so on, and judge whether a group was outstanding or not. In the stock market, one could choose their favorite stocks based on the company's performance report.
"Dad, let's not talk about your company. I know an excellent fund manager and a famous person in the industry. I'm investing in stocks with him and want to raise funds from you. To put it bluntly, I want to borrow money from you.”Wang Gao hastily cut off his father's excitement.
"The country has stipulated that fund managers are not allowed to speculate in stocks.”His father pointed out clearly.
" I'm speculating, my account. He secretly gave me instructions, and I operated. To put it in a more artistic way, he was just my mentor who guided me into the door. There's no law that can restrict this.”What Wang Gao meant was that he was going to do it himself, it had nothing to do with him.
"Then isn't doing this also against the country's rules?”His father asked. He was really worried about his son's actions.
"I'm just an ordinary citizen. Why can't I invest in stocks? I'm the one who's investing in stocks. I'm the one who's using my account.”Wang Gao said.
He did indeed think so. He had the right to open an account and buy and sell stocks. He did not violate any rules. The difference between him and other shareholders was that he knew Qiu Jun. He was just a fund manager, but he only operated his own stocks.
"Is your friend reliable? Now, there were many scammers who were stuck on him and the money was transferred away.”Hearing his son's words, the father was speechless and could only remind him wittily.
" Dad, don't worry. I don't have a bank card for stocks. It's a passbook. He can't take the money away from me."
"But is the fund manager reliable? Last time, the bull market wasn't so good. They were trapped at the top of the mountain.”
" Qiu Jun successfully withdrew. Awesome, right?" Wang Gao was very proud, as if he was praising himself.
"Qiu Jun…I seem to have heard of him. Your friend?" His father emphasized the word 'Qiu Jun', as if he had searched his mind for a while.
"Yes, a famous stock commentator."
"Are those analysts reliable? Say useless words, for example, sell high and buy low, which is high? What was considered low? It was all nonsense.”His father began to be dissatisfied again, as if he was full of dissatisfaction with the stock market.
"Anyway, it's fine as long as you're better than ordinary shareholders. Let me put it this way. If you and I run a 100-meter race and I'm faster than you by a second, I'll win. At the moment when the bull market peaks, I'll run away from the top, but you won't be able to escape because in that second, I'll throw all my stocks to you and turn them into cash.”Wang Gao had a flash of inspiration and made an analogy, which seemed to work.
"Son, after hearing your words, I realized that you're better than Dad.”The father looked at his son through his glasses.
" No, Dad, you're too humble. My friend is very outstanding. I believe you won't be disappointed if you invest your money there."
"Let me think about it. Hey, how much interest are you giving Dad?”
"How about six points? Even the bank's financial management isn't that high."
"Are you that good at sucking your father's blood?”The father said heavily, his eyes shooting straight at his son's face. For the first time, he realized that his son was so stingy and a miser, even though he would not argue with his son.
Gao Gan lowered his eyes, his face flushed red, feeling that he was being a little unreasonable.
"Then, Dad, I'll give you ten points." Wang Gao continued.
"Why don't I transfer all the funds from my stock market to you?”The father finally made a final decision. He actually did not care about the interest at all, but he did not believe in his son's ability enough. After a short struggle in his brain, he decided to give the money to his son and let him train in the stock market. Perhaps he was really a genius. A bird that was not released would never fly.
"Hehe, Dad, so you're an old stockholder.”At that time, Wang Gao did not understand his father's intentions, but he accepted his father's trust and felt that he could not let his father down.
The two of them happily negotiated a deal. At this time, his mother placed the stir-fried dishes on the dining table, and the fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
" It's time to eat," his mother said.
The whole family was happy and harmonious. They ate around the dining table. At the dining table, Wang Gao took the initiative to talk about many things he had seen and heard, making the whole family laugh endlessly. This was the happiest time for his parents, but his mother was always a little impatient to seize the opportunity.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" his mother asked.
"There will be. There will be in the future." Wang Gao was perfunctory, showing his resistance to the topic. How much did he dislike his mother's long-winded words? What was the use of saying these? God knows when his girlfriend would arrive. Sigh, why should he worry about that?
