Chapter 295: The Ecosystem of Stockholders on New Year's Eve
Time flies, looking back, another year has passed.
Compared with last year, both Gu Junhao and Zhang Yiru have undergone great changes this year. Their careers have reached a new level. Junshi Capital has expanded little by little and gradually become famous in Beicang and Yongcheng.
Zhang Yiru's work in the bank has become more stable, and the experience in the workplace has made her more charming as a professional woman. Their lives after marriage have not changed much from before, and the only change may be in their titles.
Zhang Yiru no longer calls Gu Junhao "Little Gu classmate". In addition to the change in status, the way they address each other seems to have given both parties a sense of belonging and responsibility, which may be the biggest change.
New Year’s Eve, Beicang.
There is an old saying in Ningbo: "Meet on July 7th and have a New Year's Eve dinner." New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival not only mean family reunion, but also are full of rich food culture, and customs vary from place to place.
Fried rice cakes, stir-fried crabs with red roe, smoked fish, poached chicken, roasted gluten, pickled mustard greens and yellow croaker soup, and rice dumplings; these are all indispensable foods on the dining table of Ningbo people. Out of respect for the habits of Zhang Mingde and his wife, Gu Junhao did not spend too much during the New Year.
It doesn’t matter what you eat, what matters is who you eat with, and the same applies to Chinese New Year.
Last year's New Year's Eve was spent in Jiangbei. Today, as the couple's first year of marriage, Zhang Mingde and his wife also came to Beicang to celebrate the New Year. In Qin Ruolan's opinion, it would be a bit regrettable that Gu Junhao has no parents, but wouldn't it be more comfortable for her daughter, the new daughter-in-law?
The same goes for Zhang Mingde and his wife. With Xiao Gu earning at this rate, if he had parents, it would be a bit stressful to be their in-laws. Sometimes imperfection is also a kind of beauty.
The family of four seems less lively than other large families, but is not lacking in warmth; Xiao Gu still looks like the same Xiao Gu, without the arrogance that comes from suddenly becoming rich.
"Now that you're married, it's time to prepare to have children. I'll help you take care of them while we're still young." Qin Ruolan said to the two people sitting opposite her and Lao Zhang.
Parents are just like this. After their children start working, they hope they can get married soon. After they get married, they hope they can have children soon. This is true for every family.
"I'm fine with either. It's up to you." Gu Junhao looked at Zhang Yiru and threw the question to her.
For working women, having children will more or less affect their careers, but this is not the case for Zhang Yiru. However, the two have discussed when to have children, but they said it is too early now and they will wait for a few years in their own world before deciding .
However, since it was his mother-in-law who brought it up, Gu Junhao naturally did not dare to refute it and left it to Zhang Yiru to deal with it.
"Mom! Who would urge us to have a baby just a few days after getting married? Besides, we are not that old, so what will be wrong in a few years?" Zhang Yiru said angrily.
"It's better to have a baby when you're young. You can recover faster when you're young. Besides, wouldn't it be nice for your dad and I to help you take care of the baby while we're still young?"
"My dad has to take care of the kids. He's busy. How can he have time to take care of the kids?"
"You can retire early. After teaching for a lifetime, can't you enjoy yourself?"
"You call taking care of children enjoyment?" Zhang Yiru said speechlessly.
Gu Junhao and Zhang Yiru couldn't convince their mother-in-law, so they had to come out in person: "Mom, our careers are not very stable yet. Let's wait for two years before having a baby. I agree with your idea of retiring early. After retirement, you two can travel around the country and relax."
After Gu Junhao said this, Qin Ruolan didn't know how to continue, and the topic of having children ended. The conversation at the dinner table returned to normal, without the previous confrontation between mother and daughter.
Fireworks and the Spring Festival Gala are naturally indispensable on New Year's Eve. Fireworks are not allowed in urban areas, so Gu Junhao drove the three of them to a place where fireworks are allowed. After a happy time, they returned home and enjoyed the ugly Spring Festival Gala.
Although the Spring Festival Gala is getting uglier every year, it is still a must-see program for Chinese people during the Chinese New Year. They can choose not to watch it, but they have to turn on the TV; this is the case for Gu Junhao's family.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Mingde, who usually had no entertainment activities, were encouraged by Gu Junhao to play mahjong with four people, and they played while staying up all night. In the second half of the night, the song "Unforgettable Tonight" sounded, and the four of them dispersed and went to sleep.
There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Gu Junhao woke up and looked at Zhang Yiru who had also woken up. He kissed her and said, "Happy New Year, my dear!"
After the Spring Festival, it is time for families to visit relatives and friends. Although Gu Junhao is an orphan, with the improvement of his social status, few people mention this fact anymore. During the Spring Festival, many people hope to get together with Gu Junhao.
In the past few days, many people have wished Gu Junhao a happy new year, but most of them did so through phone calls and messages. Not many people knew where Gu Junhao lived; Xu Jianqing was one of them.
Xu Jianqing, who stayed in Ningbo to celebrate the New Year, did not need to visit relatives, so he found an excuse to pay New Year's greetings and had a meal at Gu Junhao's place. He also brought his parents with him, and there was no sign of formality at all.
During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, most people are on vacation and people are paying more attention to visiting relatives and friends and entertainment activities. The popularity of A-shares is far less high.
The same is true for Li Ze. He feels that this year's Spring Festival is the most glorious one he has ever had. In the two trading days before the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets closed on New Year's Eve, Li Ze had the same idea of reducing his holdings as Li Xinyu.
This time, without Brother T's reminder, and the fact that Tonghuashun's rise since the New Year was even crazier than last year's, the stock price had already reached above 80 yuan. On the 16th, Li Ze reduced his holdings of 15,000 shares of Tonghuashun at an average price of 85 yuan.
The reason for reducing holdings is that he is afraid of rising prices. In Li Ze's opinion , after reducing holdings by 15,000 shares, he will not only be able to recover the cost of the second round of investment, but also have a slight surplus. In addition, he still has 10,000 shares of Tong Huashun in his hand. No matter whether the price rises or falls in the future, he will be in a state of stable profit.
Before the Chinese New Year, Li Ze successfully withdrew nearly 1.3 million yuan in cash into his bank card. With more than one million yuan in cash in his hands again, Li Ze could finally show off in front of his parents.
However, even if he was rich, the son could not escape his father's punishment; Li Ze was arranged to go on many blind dates during this Spring Festival, and the pain was beyond words.
On this day, Li Ze ended another blind date. Although Li Ze is usually eloquent in the group, as a distinguished Cadillac owner, Li Ze communicates with women mainly through money and actually does not have much experience in dating.
Once he started to formally communicate with girls, Li Ze seemed a little clumsy, which made him somewhat uncomfortable. On this day, after another blind date, Li Ze returned home depressed.
When his parents saw his expression, they knew that there was no hope again. At this point, the parents must have felt helpless because their son was not ugly in appearance and his income from work was pretty good, so why was it that no one was interested in him when he went on blind dates?
"What do you talk about with your blind date? Why is there no chance every time you come back?" Li Ze's mother couldn't help but ask.
"How would I know? They would get unhappy if I said a few words. Okay, don't make any arrangements. I'll find one myself. There's still time. " This series of blind dates was a big blow to Li Ze. He still thought stock trading was more interesting.
All the group members are talented and speak well. Li Ze ignored his mother's nagging and went back to his room alone. Lying on the bed, Li Ze also recalled his experiences of this year.
The fact that I can now return to my blind date in such glory is really thanks to Brother T and the rise of the stock market; otherwise, with my stock trading skills, I might have entered a vicious circle due to losses over the past year, and I might have lost a year's salary.
Before this year, although the stock market had risen significantly, retail investors like myself and my friends in the group did not make much money. However, the sharp drop in January of 2015 wiped out the little profits that most people had made.
Although many group members made money due to the rise of Tonghuashun this time, more people still dare not invest in Tonghuashun. The stock price of 45 yuan at the beginning of the year discouraged many people.
In the following days, Li Ze lay at home with nothing to do. Apart from chatting with group friends and sending red envelopes, the rest was surfing the Internet. While surfing, Li Ze also left messages on the official Weibo of Gu Junhao and Junshi Capital to express his gratitude.
The stock market conditions in 2014 were much better than those in 2013. There were many investors like Li Ze who made money. This new year was a good year for most investors.
Among them are the investors of Junshi No. 1. In less than a year, they have earned more than ten times their initial investment, which has become their capital for bragging when visiting relatives and friends.
No matter what the reasons were for investing in Junshi No. 1, in terms of the final returns, one can boast that it was his unique vision that enabled him to accurately buy at the bottom when everyone was not optimistic about Gu Junhao.
Word of mouth spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred; during the Spring Festival holiday, the unfamiliar name Gu Junhao appeared in many family gatherings, and this spontaneous boasting also occurred in Yang City, thousands of miles away.
Among the friends of Su Mingyu's family, which holds a 25% stake in Junshi No. 1, there are quite a few people who trade stocks. When they get together, topics such as stocks, funds and bonds are always discussed.
And how many people can invest in a private equity fund that can generate returns of more than 10 times in less than a year, not to mention owning 25% of it.
The beginning of spring has passed, the cold has gradually faded away, the weather in Ningbo during the Spring Festival is unusually good, some blooming plants are lush and green; everything looks full of vitality.
