The Pentium Era - South to North

This year's Spring Festival, Zhang Chen and the others are going to spend the villa in Taohuayuan, and Xiao Zhao and Xiao Fang have been decorating there for the past two days.

This year, Chief Niu and his family will go to Chongqing to live in Xiao Zhao’s villa to celebrate the New Year with his grandmother. His younger brother Xiaoshu will bring his parents to Hangzhou to celebrate the New Year with Zhang Chen, Xiao Zhao and the others. , so Xiao Zhao and Xiao Fang want to decorate the room.

This villa came into use only during this period of vacation and rest.

It's February 4th, the 29th day of the year. There is no New Year's Eve this year. Today is New Year's Eve, which also happens to be the beginning of spring among the 24 solar terms.

Everyone celebrated the New Year at home. In the afternoon, Qu Tianlin and Qu Tianjian came to Zhang Chen and his friends to sit for a while, and now they went back to have the New Year's Eve dinner. This year, they also celebrated the New Year in Peach Blossom Spring.

During the Spring Festival, the entire Taohuayuan became lively. When residents met each other, they all said that they had returned to the village. Everyone's situation was similar. They felt like migrant workers. This is the only time of the year when families can come here. Come to the reunion.

Liu Ligan was also at home this year. After having New Year's Eve dinner with his parents, he left in a hurry, drove his Aston Martin to Jinxiu Jiangnan, and took the elevator to Lao Ni Company. The entire company was empty today. Most of the people in the company are from Shaoxing and have already returned to Shaoxing to celebrate the New Year. Those who are not from Shaoxing have also gone home for the holidays.

Only the financial business department, whose office door is usually closed, today for the first time, the door of the office is open. As soon as Liu Ligan entered their company, he heard the chirping of a group of women and Meng Ping's voice.

Liu Ligan walked over, and the people inside cheered when they saw him.

In the office, two desks were vacated and moved to the middle. They were covered with newspapers. On the newspapers were a table of dishes that Liu Ligan asked Tianxianglou to deliver, as well as the salted duck that Meng Ping brought from Nanjing in the afternoon. The five girls from the financial business department and Meng Ping have already started having New Year's Eve dinner.

Looking out of the window with the curtains open, the whole city of Hangzhou was boiling with fireworks, far and near.

Liu Ligan walked over and sat down, and Ren Rongrong filled him with wine. Liu Ligan raised his glass and wanted to toast with everyone. Chen Yaqin shouted, "No, no, no, Mr. Liu, you are late. Please punish yourself with three drinks first." , let’s fuck you again.

Liu Ligan smiled and said okay, and quickly drank the wine.

Before he put down his cup, Ren Rongrong refilled it for him, and Liu Lipole finished it again. He drank three cups in a row. After the fourth cup, everyone raised the cup with him, clinked it, and called New Year. Okay, now I've finished the wine.

Putting down the wine glass, Chen Yaqin looked at Liu Ligan and Meng Ping and said, "You two, what's the use of making so much money? It's the New Year, and there's not even anyone to celebrate the New Year with, so you want to mess with us."

Liu Ligan and Meng Ping laughed, and Liu Ligan said, "Why, you're not welcome?"

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome." Chen Yaqin said, "We wish we could have such treatment every day."

Meng Ping said: "How are you better than us? Aren't you here?"

Ren Rongrong said: "We have no choice. We are at work and it is difficult to return home. Are you? Are you homeless?"

Liu Ligan said: "We are also working, and we are here to supervise your work."

Ren Rongrong curled his lips: "Can you supervise me? We are working for Lao Ni today, not for you."

"Then we are here to learn." Meng Ping said.

Chen Yaqin raised her glass again and said to Meng Ping and Liu Ligan:

"However, I still have to thank you, Mr. Liu and Mr. Meng, for remembering us. You are more reliable than that old Ni, and you even know how to come over and have the New Year's Eve dinner with us. That bastard, Lao Ni, came yesterday. You guess he What did you say to me?"

"What did you say?" Liu Ligan asked curiously.

"He asked us if the instant noodles were ready. Damn it, do we only deserve to eat instant noodles?"

Chen Yaqin cursed, while Liu Ligan and Meng Ping laughed.

During the Spring Festival holiday, the domestic stock market and futures market were stopped, but the external market was not stopped. Lao Ni's Hong Kong account had been doing external futures and foreign exchange, so Ren Rongrong said that they were working for Lao Ni.

Not only did the external trading not stop, New Year's Eve was also Friday, which was the most active day for market transactions. Of course, Chen Yaqin and Ren Rongrong could not take a holiday, so they could only continue to work here. Otherwise, when they returned home, they would not even have the Internet. How could they If you can keep an eye on the market, how can you trade?

They have to wait until early in the morning, after CBOT and CME, that is, after the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Mercantile Exchange close, and the global futures market and foreign exchange market enter their rest days on Saturday and Sunday, before they can go home. On the first day of the new year, I reunited with my family.

Meng Ping and Liu Ligan, these two guys, were originally away from home during the Spring Festival. When they learned about this situation, they took the initiative to tell Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin that they would come to have New Year's Eve dinner with them. Of course, Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin were very welcome.

At dawn, Meng Ping will send Chen Yaqin home, and Liu Ligan will send Ren Rongrong home. After staying at home for a night, they will rush back to prepare for the opening of the Tokyo and London stock exchanges on Monday.

The computer on the desk behind them was facing this way. Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin, while drinking and eating, would look back at the screen from time to time.

Halfway through the drink, Ren Rongrong asked Liu Ligan and Meng Ping, do you want to know the market price of natural glue?

Both said yes.

Chen Yaqin stood up and said, come and see.

Liu Ligan and Meng Ping stood up and walked over. Chen Yaqin opened the market chart of natural rubber on the computer and showed it to them. The two saw that in the first two days of the holiday, natural rubber reached its highest point, and in the following two days, it reached its highest point. Days, the price has come down a bit.

Chen Yaqin said to them: "Have you seen it? It will increase after the holidays."

Meng Ping pointed to the computer screen and said: "Isn't it already falling? How can I say it will rise again?"

"It's the Spring Festival, so it's normal to go back a bit. All varieties will be like this." Chen Yaqin said, "It's inevitable that some people need money during the Spring Festival and have to spend part of it, and there are also some timid people who are afraid that something will happen during the Spring Festival. If any unexpected incident occurs, we will temporarily leave the market, but the trading volume is very small, which shows that everyone’s confidence is still there.”

Meng Ping and Liu Ligan nodded.

Chen Yaqin smiled and said: "Well, you are here today, and it is not in vain."

As she spoke, she clicked on the crude oil on the external market and said to them: "Did you see that crude oil is still rising today and has reached 28.46 US dollars. This is more supportive. Natural rubber will still rise after the holiday. Are you guys?" Don’t you feel at ease?”

Meng Ping smiled and said, with you here, we will feel at ease at all times.

"Okay, this flattery is good, but beauties are different." Ren Rongrong shouted, Chen Yaqin glared at her, Ren Rongrong laughed, and Chen Yaqin's face blushed slightly.

Liu Ligan walked over, stood next to Ren Rongrong and asked, "Where is it?"

Ren Rongrong asked strangely: "Where is what?"

"You flatter me, I'll pat you on my back too." Liu Ligan said, and everyone in the room laughed.

Everyone sat down and continued drinking. The air conditioner in the room was turned on fully and the door was open. In order to avoid the heat escaping from the front, Chen Yaqin simply turned up the air conditioners in the entire company outside. She said that the air is better with the door open.

Ren Rongrong laughed at her, wondering if it was too extravagant to turn on so many air conditioners just to open the door.

Chen Yaqin scolded, "Never mind him. Anyway, Lao Ni spends money and we all eat instant noodles. Why don't we use him to pay the electricity bill? He still refuses?"

Everyone laughed again. Liu Ligan said it was okay. If Lao Ni, a jerk, was unhappy, ask him to give me the bill and I would pay the electricity bill this month.

"Okay, then I'm going to turn on all the lights outside." Ren Rongrong said as she was about to stand up, Chen Yaqin pulled her back with a smile.

One night, Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin didn't stand up in front of the computer to operate anything, but watching the market and waiting were necessary and their daily routine. In the financial market, they thought about heaven and hell, but this thought, this No one in the world knows when it will happen.

At twelve o'clock, the sky outside was illuminated by fireworks again. Meng Ping and Liu Ligan's cell phones rang. The two stood up and walked out, each looking for a suitable place to answer the phone.

The five people who stayed in the room had already told their families that they would work overtime and had already said what they needed to say. At this time, no one had called them, and they could not remember who they needed to call. Those who do business have a very narrow life circle. Almost all their friends are in this room.

At this time, they were staring blankly out of the glass, watching the splendid city getting darker minute by minute, and the last firework that shot up into the sky was like an uninvited guest, making people watch. They all feel a little funny and lonely.

Zhang Chen felt a little strange. He thought Liu Ligan would come over after dinner. Liu Ligan couldn't stay at home. It was good to finish the New Year's Eve dinner.

After dinner, Qu Tianlin brought her son over to play with Xiao Shu and Zhang Xiangbei. She played cards with Zhang Chen, Xiao Fang and Xiao Zhao.

Zhang Chen didn't like playing cards very much, so he kept waiting for Liu Ligan to come over so that he could give up his seat to him. But at twelve o'clock, no one was seen. Zhang Chen was surprised. Tan Shuzhen was not here. Liu Ligan had no choice but to come here. , where else would you go?

Zhang Chen called Liu Ligan and asked him where he was. Liu Ligan couldn't tell the truth to him, so he could only lie: "You are all raising families, what future do you have with me? Fan Jianguo and I are out here." ”

"Don't fool around, be careful if Tan Shuzhen finds out." Zhang Chen said.

"I know, I know, happy New Year!"

"roll!"

The two of them answered the phone outside for more than half an hour and then came back. Several women in the room had already put the dishes in the microwave and reheated them. Everyone sat down and continued eating and drinking until three o'clock. In fifteen minutes, even the Chicago Board of Trade will be closed, and the global foreign exchange market has reached its most deserted time.

Their wine was already sluggish, Meng Ping said, let's go for a ride in the Aston Martin sitting on a pole by the West Lake?

"Okay!" Everyone else shouted.
