My Side Job is a Trader

"Stinky boy, this year's Chinese New Year, whatever you say, bring me a girlfriend home, or don't come in!"

The ear-piercing roar from the mobile phone made Zhang Xin frowned. He moved the mobile phone a little away from his ears, and was just about to speak, but there was a "beep~beep~" sound from the phone.

Zhang Xin let out a sigh of relief.

"It's not so easy to find a partner. Now it's all about good looks. Your son is not tall, not handsome, and he doesn't have any money. What's the matter with the girl and me?"

Zhang Xin complained, turned off the phone call interface, and looked at the time, it was just time for dinner.

After some simple tidying up, Zhang Xin took his mobile wallet and prepared to go out to find a restaurant for dinner.

In Shanghai, although it is early summer in June, the temperature is already very high, and you only need to wear a short sleeve when going out.

Although Zhang Xin is not from a wealthy family, he still values ​​his own image, especially when going out, even if he just goes out for dinner, he must change into clean and comfortable clothes, unlike many people in the community who just go out for a walk in pajamas and slippers People form a contrast.

When I came to a place I frequented frequently, I ordered a small portion of braised chicken. Zhang Xin found a table near the gate, and looked at the crowds of people coming and going from the subway station outside the gate. two years ago:

In 2015, Zhang Xin graduated from school full of ambitions. He majored in finance at university, so he found a job as a broker in a futures company as a matter of course.

Originally, Zhang Xin thought that he would be like the stockbroker in the movie, looking at the K-line chart and giving advice, but the reality taught him a good lesson.

Although futures brokers also need to keep an eye on the K-line chart during the opening period, their main job is to keep making phone calls to find potential customers. Analyze and give customers some operational suggestions.

In addition to the basic salary of the local minimum wage standard, the broker's remuneration is the handling fee generated when the customer operates funds to buy and sell, part of which is the broker's commission. Therefore, a qualified broker must have a group of customers who can operate frequently, so as to continuously generate commissions.

For a broker who has just entered the industry, the first task at present is to find a few potential customers and persuade them to come to the company to open an account.

At that time, Zhang Xin was full of passion, coupled with the longing for the bright future described by the supervisor, Zhang Xin and a few friends who joined the company went through a few days of simple training, and then started making endless phone calls.

At the beginning, they only need to make 200 calls a day to complete the task. After they get used to it, they must complete 300 calls a day.

Since the phone list is provided by the supervisor, almost every list has been called.

Many people will be disturbed by frequent calls from futures companies, so they will have a very bad attitude and even insult the telemarketers.

After a period of time like this, Zhang Xin was scolded at least one or two hundred times a day, which gradually dampened his enthusiasm.

Zhang Xin is quite honest, so every time he calls a potential client, in addition to using high returns to lure the client to open an account with the company, he will also explain clearly to the client the huge risks of futures trading.

Originally, customers might be dazzled by the high returns for a while, but they will calm down after being poured by Zhang Xin's basin of cold water, so they will cautiously express that they need to consider it in the end.

Some small partners have already had two or three customers complete account opening in the first month, and even one small partner has already transferred funds from customers and started operations.

After two or three months, Zhang Xin still got nothing, which also hit his confidence.

The supervisor once instructed him not to say some high-risk words to customers in a stupid way, so that some customers might come to open an account.

However, Zhang Xin is very against this kind of behavior. The education he has received since he was a child made Zhang Xin stick to his own principles - don't do things that offend his conscience.

Since clients are asked to open accounts for futures trading, it is also the broker's duty to inform clients of the risks involved.

It is obviously against professional ethics to deliberately ignore risks in order to obtain generous commissions.

In the end, Zhang Xin thought twice and decided to resign after the end of the third month. He even decided not to be an agent in the future.

In this way, the first job to enter the society after graduation ended.

Later, due to missing the peak recruitment season and the school Zhang Xin attended was not a prestigious school, his subsequent job hunting hit a wall, and only a few positions were willing to recruit him.

These positions are basically sales in nature, popularly speaking, they are telephone sales.

However, the telephone sales experience in the previous three months has already brought a great psychological shadow to him, and he is even unwilling to take the initiative to make calls to others.

Fortunately, there is a college classmate who is willing to share the house with Zhang Xin, otherwise Zhang Xin would have spent all the 3,000 yuan he had saved before.

Although he hasn't found a job after one or two months, Zhang Xin never thinks that he is useless, at least in trading, he has performed better than ordinary people.

Wang Shen, that is, the college classmate who shared the rent with Zhang Xin. During their senior year, the two of them once participated in the trading training of a certain fund company together, and after a round of assessment and screening, only five people were left to enter the real trading operation.

Fund companies are rich owners. As a trading exercise, the most reliable trading is futures trading. After all, domestic stock trading does not support short selling, and the trading mode is T+1, which cannot reflect the accuracy of a trader on a short-term market. Judgment, so the fund manager chooses a type of futures called "stock index futures" as the trading target.

Although they know that Zhang Xin and other novices are likely to lose money in trading, they are still allowed to use real money to practice. The fund manager said that this will allow them to experience the real trading experience, so as to screen out talents that are truly worth cultivating.

For the fund company, even if all five people lose money, the company can smooth it out through some high-level traders.

In the words of fund managers, secondary capital trading markets such as stocks or futures are cash machines for traders, and it is just a matter of more or less.

Of course, it is rare to be qualified to be a trader, and Zhang Xin has this talent.

Because Zhang Xin is more cautious, he spends most of his time observing the K-line chart trend, and only when he encounters a relatively certain market, he will make a move.

Since 2015 happened to catch up with a bull market, under the general rising market, the stock index as a reflection of the stock market has naturally been rising. So several people are profitable, it's just a matter of more or less.

At first, a few people thought that the first trade in their lives would be successfully concluded with a profit, but they never expected that the accident came unexpectedly.
