Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 319 Jiang Xiaoguo misunderstood that Yuan Xudong wanted to see her dance
"mean!"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and pointed at the guesthouse outside the car window and said with a smile:
"There, find a place to park first, I'll go pick up my mom!"
"good!"
After pulling over and waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo to get off, Yuan Xudong found an empty parking space near the guesthouse and parked his car. Then he walked towards the entrance of the guesthouse carrying the gift he was going to give to Jiang Xiaoguo's mother.
"Xiao Guo!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo walking out of the guesthouse holding the arm of a plump middle-aged woman, accompanied by an aunt dressed quite fashionably, Yuan Xudong took the initiative to greet her with a smile.
"Little Dongzi!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong coming over, Jiang Xiaoguo hugged her mother's arm and happily introduced her:
"Mom, he is Yuan Xudong, my boyfriend. He is quite handsome, right?"
"Well, he is quite handsome, and at first glance he is a good and honest boy!"
In front of Sun Lifen, when Jiang's mother saw her daughter's boyfriend, she praised him a lot, which made Yuan Xudong feel a little flattered. There was nothing he could do. Handsome men were popular. His daughter liked him, and so did his mother-in-law. There was no father-in-law, aunts and uncles, etc. It seemed that he would not have to pay for the bride price in the future. She was simply the most ideal daughter-in-law.
Not knowing what Yuan Xudong was thinking about, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at him and introduced her mother, and then Sun Lifen beside him and said:
"Xiao Dongzi, this is my mom, and this is Aunt Sun, she's my mom's good friend!"
"Hello, Auntie Sun. I'm Yuan Xudong, Xiaoguo's boyfriend. This is our first meeting, so you can just call me Xiao Yuan!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Jiang Xiaoguo's mother and Sun Lifen and nodded slightly, appearing to be polite.
"Okay, then I'll call you Xiao Yuan. You're a nice kid, and you're sensible!"
Mother Jiang was more and more satisfied with Yuan Xudong, who was handsome, had a good figure and good temperament, especially in front of Sun Lifen. She felt very proud. Twenty years ago, you couldn't compare to me. Twenty years later, your son can't compare to my son-in-law either. Thinking of this, she smiled and said:
"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Guo told me that you drove here?"
"Yes, auntie!"
"Look at you, kid. Don't be so reserved when you speak. It's so strange to call you aunt all the time, isn't it?"
"ah?"
She looked exactly like Jiang Xiaoguo, the carefree mother Jiang. Yuan Xudong pretended to be confused and said:
"If you don't want to call me aunt, then I'll call you mom like Xiaoguo?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was deliberately acting shameless as usual, Jiang Xiaoguo could not help but glare at him with warning eyes. Her little face was red with shyness, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, which made Yuan Xudong mutter to himself, haha, what a hypocritical woman.
"Why!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong calling her mom the first time they met, Jiang's mother surprisingly did not feel uncomfortable at all. She nodded and agreed and said with a smile:
"That's a good name. I like it. Look at your sweet mouth, it's like you were covered in honey!"
"Isn't it?"
Sun Lifen next to her also interrupted and laughed:
"Children nowadays are so different from when we were little . Look how sweetly they call their moms, just like they are their own moms!"
Damn it!
This old woman's attitude is a bit unfriendly!
What is going on?
Where are the good friends you promised me?
Just when Yuan Xudong was secretly complaining about Sun Lifen's attitude towards him, Mother Jiang glanced at her and smiled:
"Sister Sun, look at what you're saying. I only have this one precious daughter. When Xiao Yuan and my daughter get married, won't I be his biological mother?"
"Yes, Mom, I think what you said makes a lot of sense!"
Regarding the open and covert struggles between her mother and Sun Lifen, Jiang Xiaoguo's attitude has always been very clear, that is, to fight against external forces first and then stabilize the internal situation. Her mother can say whatever she wants, but others cannot. Her mother's "enemy" is her daughter's "opponent". Holding this principle firmly, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Xiao Dongzi, Auntie Sun lives in the residential area over at Overseas Chinese Town. Isn't there an InterContinental Hotel nearby? Let's go there to eat!"
"Sure, I'm fine!"
Yuan Xudong didn't really care what to eat for dinner or where to eat. Of course, since the protagonist today was Jiang Xiaoguo's mother, Yuan Xudong looked at her and said politely:
"Mom, what do you think?"
"You and Xiaoguo can decide. I can eat anything. We don't care about that!"
If Sun Lifen was not present, Jiang's mother might have objected. We are all family, so we can just find a local restaurant to have a meal. Why go to the InterContinental Hotel? Isn't that a waste of money?
Seeing their family enjoying themselves, Sun Lifen, who was standing beside them, looked at the time and said with a smile:
"Sister Juan, it's getting late. I'm going to go back first. I'll come and see you off when you go back to the Northeast someday!"
"Gone?"
Although she was hoping that Sun Lifen, who had been pestering her to show off her good life, would leave immediately, on the surface, Jiang's mother was very polite and tried to keep her, saying:
"No, it's time for dinner. Let's go eat together. After dinner, I'll ask Xiao Yuan to drive you home!"
"No need, I drove here. I bought a Mercedes-Benz, which cost me more than 500,000 yuan. If I were in a small place, it would be enough to buy a house!"
"Big Benz?"
Looking at Sun Lifen who was showing off to her again, Mother Jiang looked at her daughter Jiang Xiaoguo and smiled:
"Xiao Guo, what car did you say Xiao Yuan drove?"
Seeing that her mother was about to show off Yuan Xudong's car to Sun Lifen again, although she felt quite ashamed, she did not lose face, and Jiang Xiaoguo laughed with the talent of a comedian:
"Mom, I've told you so many times, it's a Maserati, why can't you remember?"
"Remember, remember, it's a Maserati, how much is it?"
"It's not expensive. All in all, it only cost a little over two million!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at her daughter who was even more boastful than herself, Mother Jiang glared at her without leaving any trace, and then said politely:
"That's not expensive. You can just buy a slightly bigger toilet in Shenzhen!"
Is your toilet so expensive?
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo and her daughter pretending to be rich, Sun Lifen looked at Yuan Xudong, who looked embarrassed but polite, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Yuan, are you and Xiao Guo classmates in college?"
"Yes, Aunt Sun!"
"So what's your major? Are you working?"
"Computer science major, already started working!"
"I'm studying computer science. It's a good major with good salary. My son is also studying computer science. He works at Tencent, one of the world's top Internet companies. With bonuses and dividends, his annual salary is several hundred thousand. By the way, where do you work?"
"Tencent, your son is quite impressive!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"When I was in college, I was too busy playing around and didn't learn the basics. As a result, I applied for internships in dozens of Internet companies, such as Bilibili, Baidu, iQiyi, Alibaba, and Tencent, but none of them wanted me. I had no choice but to participate in the school internship, so I sold the game account I had played for several years, and then raised some money to invest in a financial securities investment company that was founded not long ago. Now I am a stock trader, mainly doing intraday high-frequency quantitative trading, mainly based on manual judgment, and computer programs to assist in trading!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong talking about so many random things, Sun Lifen finally concluded:
"Xiao Yuan, are you a stock trader?"
"Yes, you can understand it that way. That's pretty much what it means!"
After confirming once again that Yuan Xudong was a professional stock trader, Sun Lifen no longer cared about showing off her wealth to him. She quickly asked:
"Xiao Yuan, do you know China Unicom?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"I heard from a friend that there was going to be mixed ownership reform, so I bought some China Unicom shares. As a result, they rose a little at the beginning, but then they kept falling. They have been falling for several months. I covered my position several times in the middle, hoping to spread the cost. As a result, the cost was lower, but the stock price was also lower. When do you think it will change its trend and rise?"
…
The following is a small excerpt that is not the main text, but is worth reading:
In a dark and quiet room, an old, dilapidated black Asus laptop was humming. Next to it was a cup of steaming wolfberry water. The pale-faced author was typing:
The author is crying in his heart. He bought China Unicom stocks and sold them at a loss, losing more than 4,000 yuan. He sold them at a loss at around 7 yuan. Now he has checked, and today's stock price is 3.46 yuan, a drop of almost 50%. Fortunately, he sold them at a loss and fled.
I would like to remind everyone, don't take novels seriously. Losing money is real, but making money is fictional. If one could make money steadily in the stock market, there would not be this novel now. Be cautious when entering the market. The author who lost money in stock speculation can only work hard to write and imagine himself as a rich, handsome and philandering scumbag. In fact, the author is a poor, unphilandering but very handsome man who is a warm-hearted man who no beautiful lady is willing to take in. Yes, I am Angel Tachibana Kanade.
A poor angel-like writer who aspires to become a platinum god but currently lacks fan support, wants readers to subscribe, reward and vote but dares not ask for it and can only dream about it. He has a great wish, although it is difficult for God and Taoism together to achieve it, but readers can satisfy this wish. That is, every pirated friend who sees this, please come to the Qidian platform to subscribe to a few chapters. It's so pitiful that he has to say this, friends, come and support him?
The above excerpt is from "Memoirs of the Qidian Platinum Writer Angel Tachibana Kanade: The Dark History That Some Platinum Writers Are Unwilling to Admit in Those Years - Would I Ask Readers for Subscriptions? I, a great Angel, Would Never Do That!"
The following is the main text, please feel free to read:
"Well……"
Looking at Sun Lifen who was trapped in the stock market, Yuan Xudong hesitated for a moment and told the truth:
"In my personal opinion, China Unicom has nothing outstanding when it comes to stock investment. It has no good revenue performance and no high cash dividends. It is not worth investing in, either from the perspective of making money or future growth. In fact, the current stock market is not bad, but it is falling every day. In a few months, when the stock market crash comes, it will fall even more!"
“A stock market crash in a few months?”
"Oh, I was just saying that, there's no real stock market crash coming!"
Before Sun Lifen could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuan Xudong changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Initially, the term stock market crash was passed on from foreign countries. It refers to an economic depression that occurs only once every few years or even decades. The entire stock market wails and investors suffer heavy losses. However, it is different in our country. When others experience a stock market crash, we also follow suit. When others do not experience a stock market crash, we can still make a correction. Anyway, we can sell out every time the market index exceeds 3,500 points, because it is more realistic to expect it to fall below 3,000 points than to expect it to break through 4,000 points. This has been the case for so many years, and it will surely be the same in the future. Therefore, every one or two years, the domestic stock market will definitely rise and fall sharply. Just because of this, Buffett dares not come to China for long-term investment, but only for short-term speculation. People have clearly said that Chinese companies are cheap, but he does not understand the Chinese stock market. Among investors all over the world, Chinese retail investors are the most resolute and courageous. It can be said that they have cultivated generations of leeks, and stock market crashes are just commonplace."
At this point, Yuan Xudong looked at Sun Lifen and said a little embarrassedly:
"Auntie Sun, I'm sorry. I often joke in the company that the new students are fresh leeks, not the flowers of the motherland. Flowers are only a minority of people, and the vast majority of people can only be leeks. I'm not saying that you are a leek, please don't misunderstand!"
"It's okay, leeks are leeks, I'm used to it!"
Although she is actually not young, Sun Lifen is still very open-minded. She often discusses stock market with stock friends whose actual ages are unknown, maybe in their twenties or even in their forties. They often tease each other as leeks. She has long been accustomed to it and does not think the word leek is insulting. Thinking of this, she looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Xiao Yuan, what stocks did you buy? Can you tell Aunt Sun about it?"
"Although the stocks purchased by the company cannot be disclosed, personally, I bought some liquor and bank stocks. They are all large companies with stable performance and annual cash dividends of more than 5%. Theoretically, assuming that the stock price does not rise or fall, then the investment can be recovered in just 20 years. Under normal circumstances, such large companies will not go bankrupt. They make so much money every year, and the future returns will definitely be good. Of course, it depends on personal choice. I plan to never sell, so I don’t care about floating losses in a short period of time. As long as there are dividends every year, it will be fine. Moreover, as the company develops, the annual dividends will gradually increase. The current dividend is five points, and it may be ten points in the future. As far as investing in stocks is concerned, since you can’t be a smart person, just be a fool who waits for opportunities. Compared with fear, human greed is the most fundamental reason why most people lose money in stock trading."
"Okay, Aunt Sun, I got it. Actually, I also bought bank stocks, but I didn't hold on to them. The stock price kept rising like a loom!"
After complaining, Sun Lifen looked at Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo and smiled:
"Okay, I won't disturb you guys to eat anymore. I'm leaving first. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
"Goodbye Aunt Sun!"
"goodbye!"
After watching Sun Lifen leave, Jiang Xiaoguo hugged her mother's arm and walked with Yuan Xudong to where he parked the car and said:
"Why are you telling her so much? What if she makes money and comes to show off to my mom again!"
"How can it be so easy?"
Rolling his eyes at the petty Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
“Look at those biographies of celebrities, like Bill Gates, Buffett, etc. There are countless people who have read those so-called secrets of success, but how many of them can actually succeed?
Don't be fooled by my long-winded and half-hearted words. In fact, they are of no use. On the one hand, no one can predict the future. I am just making a bold prediction. On the other hand, even if everything I said comes true, it will not take one or two years, but more than ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime. It is not easy to choose the right thing in this world, and it is even more difficult to choose the right thing and stick to it.
Take Tencent for example. During its entire listing period, many people bought its stocks, but how many of them can hold on to it until now? Most retail investors make a little money and leave. If they had bought the stocks from the beginning and kept them, they would definitely be financially free by now, and their annual compound rate of return might be better than that of Buffett. Unfortunately, life is short, and few people can really wait for decades.
Rich people are more likely to do it because they have the capital and vision to wait. After all, if they fail, it won't be a big deal. But poor people can't do that. Because they are poor, they can only look at the present. At most, they can consider the future for a few years. It is rare to consider the future for more than ten years.
As for life, especially when you have no money or power, you must either be smarter and more capable than others, or see farther than others, choose the right direction and keep moving forward, and then slowly wait for the harvest. In summary, if a person without initial resources wants to succeed, then this person must be smart enough to choose a direction that he is relatively good at, and then keep persisting. The rest depends on God’s will. "
After Yuan Xudong finished speaking, Mother Jiang interrupted:
"Yes, the biggest difference between the poor and the rich is the issue of vision. Children from poor families are not on the same starting line as children from rich families since childhood, and the difference in being a parent is huge. In the village where we came from, there used to be a landlord. All the land in the village belonged to him. Later, the state distributed it to the whole village. Now decades have passed, but everyone is still a farmer. At most, they have bought one or two houses in the city. The last time I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, the descendant of the landlord came back. He is now the president of a real estate company. He looks so majestic. According to the old people in the village, it is exactly the same as it was decades ago. Everyone is surrounding the rich man. The descendant even gave 10,000 yuan to the old people and children in the village. Everyone is so friendly, just like when the land was divided decades ago. Tsk tsk, things will always turn around!"
Hearing his mother's mysterious words, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Mom, did you get the money?"
"Of course I didn't take it!"
After glaring at Jiang Xiaoguo, Jiang's mother couldn't help but teach her a lesson:
"Xiao Guo, remember this, what belongs to us is ours, and what doesn't belong to us should not be taken. You young people all value money too much. I watched the live broadcast, those girls who did that striptease for money, and the young men who knelt down, all kinds of shameless people, asking for tips, and even said something like 100 yuan per head, I can kowtow until you go bankrupt. At first I thought he was just joking, but someone actually gave him a tip, and he really kowtowed, and thanked the boss while he was knelt. That gave me the chills, if he was my child, I would be pissed to death by him. It's okay that your family is poor, but you are so soft-hearted, won't you be looked down upon!"
"I know, Mom!"
Jiang Xiaoguo shook her mother's arm and said coquettishly:
"Don't you see whose daughter I am? If you want to see me dance erotically, how can I dance for him without 1.8 million?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo acting like a spoiled brat with her mother, Yuan Xudong coughed twice, cleared his throat and said:
"Xiao Guo, I've taken a fancy to a bright red Maserati. It's not expensive, only about 1.8 million. How about I buy one for you?"
"real?"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong was going to buy her a car, Jiang Xiaoguo slightly widened her eyes and said in surprise:
"Then take me there to have a look. I don't have to buy a Maserati. I can accept Ferrari or Lamborghini. What do you think?"
"Then thank you!"
After glaring at Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes and said:
"You have quite a wide range of interests!"
“That’s it!”
Seeing that her mother was also glaring at her, Jiang Xiaoguo quickly glared back at her, then trotted over to Yuan Xudong, holding his arm as she walked, and whispered in his ear:
"Xiao Dongzi, do you really want to see me dance?"
"No, I really don't have that, please don't get me wrong!"
Yuan Xudong was startled and said, if it comes to dancing, Jiang Xiaoguo with her small arms and legs is really not worth seeing, Liang Shuang with her long and white legs is more interesting when dancing, next time I will buy her two cheongsams and ancient embroidered Hanfu to wear, and let her dance on the bed, it will definitely be more beautiful than the short Jiang Xiaoguo dancing, just when Yuan Xudong was still daydreaming in his heart, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, blushing and whispering:
"You stinky man, if you want to see me dance, just say so, why are you using buying a car as an excuse!"
Just when Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo were thinking about all sorts of messy things, Jiang's mother, who thought they were showing off their affection, couldn't help but coughed twice and said:
"Has the car arrived yet?"
“We’re here, we’re here!”
Coming back to his senses, Yuan Xudong trotted towards his white Maserati, opened the door and said with a smile:
"This is the one, Mom, Xiaoguo, get in!"
"good!"
…
