The leisurely life of a reborn dad

After Wang Qinghui left, Cao Shujie had already started preparing for the New Year.

This year, Grandpa's health was obviously not good, so Cao Shujie didn't bother to do anything, and didn't choose to go out for the New Year. He just prepared for the New Year at home.

Mengmeng also had a winter vacation. During this time, she had been wearing the Xiaotiancai children's phone watch bought for her to go out and have fun.

She would show it off to her friends when she saw them, and she would call her father, mother, grandfather, or grandmother to show off to her friends how good she was.

Cao Shujie later learned about this from other people, but he didn't care.

Mengmeng is still a child after all.

Which child would show off to his friends after having a new thing?

Because of Mengmeng's show-off, many children in Caojiazhuang went home to ask their parents to buy them children's phone watches.

In addition, knowing the benefits of this kind of children's phone watch and the fact that it is not expensive, many parents in Caojiazhuang are indeed ready to buy one for their children.

However, because they don't understand this new product, when they buy it for their own children, they come to Cao Shujie to ask what they should buy.

Cao Shujie told them that for the sake of their children's future, they should not buy watches with too many functions. They should only buy watches that can make calls. Other messy functions should not be developed for children.

These people were confused when they heard Secretary Cao say this. Finally, someone asked Cao Shujie: "Secretary Cao, why don't you help me buy one? I will transfer the money to you."

"Yes, Secretary Cao, please buy one for my family, and I won't bother with that."

With this beginning, some other people who wanted to buy children's phone watches also came to ask Cao Shujie for help after knowing this.

Cao Shujie made a final count and reported the number directly to Cao Fei. He told him that it was for the children in the village to buy, and he just gave him a preferential price. After figuring it out, he transferred the money to Cao Fei.

However, some parents insisted on buying for their children themselves. In addition, the children were very instigating. They had to want watches that could log in to WeChat, add friends, and play games. Parents thought that chatting on WeChat or playing games would not harm their children, so they finally bought them without the children's persuasion.

As for the series of headaches caused by this, that's another story.

Facing the upcoming Spring Festival, unlike previous years when everyone was happy together after distributing New Year's goods, Caojiazhuang also organized their own collective celebration this year, which is indeed much richer than previous years.

Seeing the whole village immersed in the festive atmosphere of the upcoming New Year, Cao Shujie was also happy for everyone.

Xuemeng Food Factory is also different from previous years.

This year, because of the extremely bad incident in the purchasing department last month, even the entire company was immersed in a tense atmosphere, this year's annual meeting was not organized, but Cao Shujie still asked Wang Zhifeng to find a place to organize everyone to have a meal together, and evenly distribute the funds planned to organize the annual meeting to all employees of the company.

This is the second time that Xuemeng Food Factory has done this.

In fact, being able to directly distribute money like this will definitely make the employees in the factory happier, and it will also make them temporarily forget what happened just last month.

They think that watching a show is just so-so. Even if they invite celebrities, it will only make people in the town envy their factory for its strength and their chance to get close to celebrities, but it is far less cost-effective to convert those expenses into money and give them money.

Even everyone remembers the good things about the company.

In addition, the company was also very generous this year. After collecting opinions from the entire company, it also bought Xiaomi tablets for everyone with the most suggestions.

This deal was naturally made with Lei Jun, not for other reasons, but mainly for the same performance, Lei Jun gave him a more favorable price.

For example, Cao Shujie actually saved more than 1,000 yuan for a tablet worth more than 3,000 yuan, which is not a small amount for more than 3,000 employees in the company.

In addition to this kind of prize, the company is also very generous in distributing New Year's goods.

During the entire period before the Spring Festival, Xuemeng Food Factory has always been the most envied place for other factory employees in Pingyuan County.

And everyone can see that in recent years, the company has given higher standards for bonuses or gifts year by year.

This is directly related to the company's higher profits year by year.

At this moment, everyone is guessing about the company's revenue last year and the company's profit.

They are now looking forward to the company-wide staff meeting after the Spring Festival, wondering if the boss will announce this year's salary increase at that time?

This is what everyone in the company is looking forward to.

There are also people with better performance who want to see if they are on the promotion list this time.

However, when the employees of Xuemeng Food Factory celebrated another year of great harvest, the external environment was not optimistic, and it was even more difficult than the first month of the new year.

In particular, the stock market gave investors a good lesson when the Spring Festival was approaching.

Since the market index rose to 3588 points at the end of last month, everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of "New Year's red envelopes". Who knew that the stock market would take a sharp turn at this time, closing with a medium-yin line on the same day, with an amplitude of nearly three points during the period, and this was just a beginning. After only 9 trading days, the market fell to 3062 points at its lowest, a drop of 500 points.

The reason for this sharp drop was the pessimistic predictions from the market about a trade war on the other side of the ocean.

Following the last time the United States raised taxes on imported large washing machines and photovoltaic products, this time it has imposed an anti-dumping tariff of 109.9% on imported cast iron sewage pipe fittings.

In the same month, it was announced that it would impose anti-dumping duties of 48.64% to 106.09%, and countervailing duties of 17.14% and 80.97% on domestic aluminum foil product manufacturers.

These two pieces of news came from across the ocean. Although they have not yet been officially implemented, they can already indicate that this invisible war is just the beginning, and it is far from the end.

Because of this, a group of people began to take advantage of this to short-sell.

It’s just a pain to those most lovely investors who believe that the economy will definitely improve.

And after the market briefly fell to 3062 points, it did not end. However, the Spring Festival was approaching at this time, which gave these investors a chance to breathe temporarily, otherwise their wives and children would be separated this year.

Cao Zheng just came back from the city. When he caught Cao Shujie, he complained to him: "Shujie, you don't know. There are no good things in that bastard market. There are a lot of short sellers. Damn it. I won't say anything when they come out." played."

When Cao Shujie heard what he said, his eyes became strange: "Brother, are you still playing stocks? Are you stupid?"

"Aren't you playing too? I just took 300,000 and went in to play." Cao Zhen said.

It seems that to him, the 300,000 is as simple as sprinkling water.

Cao Shujie didn't even know how to say good things about him.

"Even if you take this money into the casino, those people still have to call you 'Brother Zhen' or 'Master Cao', but you can still listen. I found that you are really a typical financial consumer." ." Cao Shujie's words were full of sarcasm.

Cao Zhen didn’t know what was going on with financial consumers, so what did he mean by asking him?

"Just use money to spend in the financial market. Don't you also have to spend money when you go to the supermarket to buy things? If you buy some stocks, isn't it natural that you lose some money?" Cao Shujie said.

When Cao Zhen heard his explanation, he immediately understood what he meant.

He even felt that the idea of ​​"Fa Xiao Cao Shujie" was quite vivid.

"Financial consumers, not bad at all." Cao Zhen complained.

Cao Shujie asked him which stock he bought, and then heard Cao Zhen tell him that he bought Shuangjie Electric.

"Shuangjie Electric?" Cao Shujie had never heard of this stock, and it sounded quite unpopular.

Cao Zhen told him that when this stock was first listed in 2015, it went from a few yuan to 140 yuan in one breath. He bought it for 24 yuan, and Cao Zhen felt that this stock had been falling from 2015 to now. It has been falling for almost three years. He feels that in terms of stock price and decline cycle, it has been cut in half again at this position. If he buys it at this time, he should be able to make a profit.

"How much does it cost now? Cao Shujie remembered something and asked him."

Just after asking, I saw Cao Zhen said feebly: "Don't mention it, trading was suspended years ago. Before the suspension, it cost 17 yuan per share. I have already lost 7 yuan per share. I'm so angry."

Hearing what he said, Cao Shujie really admired him. He had a good vision. He could even choose such a top quality person. What else could be said about him?

Cao Shujie also asked him why he didn't stop the loss in time. In Cao Zhen's words, he had already lost so much and didn't know what to buy. He just took it and waited for it to grow.

"No, why do you think it can go up?" Cao Shujie thought this was a very strange and magical argument?

"Have you never thought that it might fall even harder later?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Zhen was frightened by his question. So far, based on his cost price, he has lost 30%, which means he has lost 100,000 yuan.

"You mean I still have to compensate?" Cao Zhen asked him.

Cao Shujie really didn't understand this stock. He told Cao Zhen: "I really don't understand. I have already lost so much. You can either stop your losses now or stop playing in the future."

"Either wait until the price rebounds later and sell it quickly, or if there is a low price, you can make up for it."

Cao Zhen rolled his eyes and asked Cao Shujie, where did he think the low point was?

"How the hell did I know, Cao Zhen, let me tell you this, it was a mistake for you to buy stocks. You just made a profit last time, so you shouldn't buy it now." Cao Shujie said earnestly.

Cao Zhen regrets it now. Fortunately, the 300,000 yuan is nothing to him.

The Xinjiang Hotel in the city helps him make a lot of money all year round. The Xinjiang Hotel branch opened in Caojiazhuang makes money at a rate that makes him even more scared during the peak tourist season. Fortunately, 30% of the shares in it are from him to Cao Shujie, otherwise He really felt that the money was very hot to earn.

"Are you still buying it?" Cao Zhen asked Cao Shujie.

Then I heard Cao Shujie say: "I have already finished selling it, and I have never bought it."

He wouldn't recommend stocks anyway.

"Then what are you investing in now?" Cao Zhen was curious.

He remembered something and asked Cao Shujie if he had ever invested in Bitcoin?

Seeing Cao Shujie shaking his head in denial, Cao Zhen said to him: "Shujie, I'm not trying to scare you. It's better not to buy that crap. You don't know that it went from 20,000 US dollars a piece a year ago to less than 7,000 US dollars now." It’s been less than two months, and it’s fallen by more than half. Oh my god, it’s going up so fast, but it’s going down even faster. It’s really scary.”

Since Cao Shujie sold the 8,400 Bitcoins some time ago, he has never paid attention to this market, and he really didn't know that it had fallen so much recently.

This is a sudden drop back to the starting point when he started selling Bitcoin. It's really a magical feeling.

"Why did it fall so hard?" He asked in a pretentious manner. Cao Zhen was still in shock about this matter.

He took the initiative to tell Cao Shujie: "I saw it rise to 10,000 US dollars at that time, and I wanted to buy two for fun. Fortunately, I didn't buy it."

But just after he finished speaking, Cao Zhen couldn't help complaining: "In the end, I bought stocks, but I didn't know that it would fall a lot. Fuck him!"

Cao Shujie couldn't hold it in and laughed.

Cao Zhen was a little angry and embarrassed: "What are you laughing at? Are you happy that I lost money?"

"No more laughing." Cao Shujie managed to hold back his laughter.

When he asked about Cao Zhen's situation in the city, Cao Shujie was relieved when he heard Cao Zhen tell him that everything was fine outside.

"Shujie, when will our sister get married?" Cao Zhen asked.

Especially after seeing Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi go shopping for clothes together at the Five Star Department Store last time, Cao Zhen called his childhood friend Cao Shujie at that time, and has been paying attention to this matter.

Cao Shujie told him: "We have to wait a little longer, the two old people haven't met yet."

"Is the man I met last time really Fangfang's boyfriend?" Cao Zhen asked.

When he saw his childhood friend nod, Cao Zhen followed up and said: "I think that person is also very good, and they can get married."

"Right, he works in my factory, and I give him an annual salary of 1 million." Cao Shujie said so.

Cao Zhen really didn't know about this. After hearing his childhood friend say this income figure, Cao Zhen paused for a while before coming to his senses: "So that person is also a talent."

He is not stupid, and knows that even if he can get an annual salary of 1 million in other places, he is still a talent, let alone in his childhood friend Cao Shujie.

According to his understanding, Cao Shujie is a shrewd man, a typical person who doesn't give up until he sees the rabbit. The fact that he can offer such a high price to the other party can only mean that the person can create more value.

Cao Shujie also acknowledged Tong Jiayi's ability. He nodded and said to Cao Zhen: "It's okay."

When Cao Zhen received the call and was about to go home, he also told Cao Shujie that he would take some time to get together in the next few days.

He came back earlier than in previous years, mainly because his wife gave birth to a second child, and the second child was only half a year old. They also gave the store a holiday this year. They were busy from beginning to end all year, and this time they were ready to let themselves have a good rest.

In addition, many employees in the store had to go back to Xinjiang Changji.

"Okay, when they all come back, we will get together again." Cao Shujie agreed happily. (End of this chapter)
