My Side Job is a Trader

"Isn't it enough for you to ask for so much money? It's not a good thing to be too greedy."

"Not enough, what I want to do requires a lot of financial support."

"Tell me."

"Biotechnology research, do you think this thing burns money?"

Li Daoqing nodded. It is true that this kind of scientific research is recognized as a high investment, and it may not necessarily produce output.

Afterwards, the two talked a lot. Finally, when Zhang Xin walked out of the office building, he breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, he hibernated and did not stir up trouble in the capital market.

But just a week after June, the market made a big joke with them, and it was also the biggest black swan event in recent years.

As if in an instant, news of the Kingdom of Great Britain's referendum to withdraw from the European Union was all over the Internet.

When the news first came out, everyone couldn't believe it. At first, everyone didn't take this matter to heart, thinking that this time, like the previous referendums, was a farce created by the opposition. In the end, everyone Do whatever you want to do as usual.

Unexpectedly, this time it happened!

The next day, the current Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Great Britain offered to resign because he and his government firmly opposed the Kingdom of Great Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, but the referendum represented public opinion, and he could not interfere and could only be forced to accept it.

As a result, in the financial market, the pound seemed to lose its support in an instant and plummeted.

Zhang Xin has been paying attention to this matter all the time. When the pound started to plummet, Zhang Xin notified Wang Shen to exercise the option quickly, so Zhang Xin exercised all the put options on the pound in his hand and sold a large amount of pounds at the exercise price , and then immediately bought the same amount of British pounds from the foreign exchange market at the current price to close the position.

In the end, Wang Shen made an inventory and found that the profit from this transaction was as high as 2 billion US dollars.

During the video call with Zhang Xin, Wang Shen couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and said, "Daxian, you absolutely have no idea how much profit we have gained this time."

Zhang Xin said angrily: "It's nothing more than two or three billion US dollars. Is it difficult to estimate?"

Wang Shen fell silent in an instant, and then said angrily: "Oh, if you want to know that this kind of thing will happen, you have to buy more, it's just money!"

"Okay, don't be too late. Didn't you say that the market has been swept away by you? Even if you want to buy, no one will sell it."

Wang Shen said: "Oh, it's true, why don't you sell it?"

Zhang Xin despised Wang Shen: "Greedy!"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll fly to Xiangjiang tomorrow, remember to pick me up at the airport."

Zhang Xin really couldn't understand Wang Shen's unseen appearance, although he himself had never seen so much money, so he thought of going to Xiangjiang to see the real operation of Quantum Investment.

When Zhang Xin and Li Xueer said that they were going to Xiangjiang, Li Xueer also wanted to go together, but because her belly was not small, it was better not to take the plane for the sake of safety, so she had to give up.

So Zhang Xin asked Li Xueer to ask Li Xueer what gift he wanted in the video, and he could bring it to her.

Li Xueer said that she doesn't need anything at the moment, just let him buy whatever he wants.

The next day, Zhang Xin arrived in Xiangjiang. When he came to the central area where the company is located, Zhang Xin felt very uncomfortable, because the roads were too narrow, and there were many tall buildings, making the whole city very crowded. Inexplicable suffocation.

When they came to Quantum Investment Company, Wang Shen led Zhang Xin to visit the company. At this time, the company already had more than ten employees, and they were basically recruited according to the staffing of Matrix Investment.

It’s just that there is only one person in some positions, such as finance, administration, and personnel, and the most are traders.

As an international metropolis, Xiangjiang is also one of the three major financial centers in the world. It is the financial center of the Far East, and its surrounding influence radiates to Southeast Asia and other countries.

Therefore, in Xiangjiang, the most indispensable thing is the talents in the financial industry.

Traders may be very scarce in the mainland, but in this traditional financial metropolis, qualified traders abound.

After Wang Shen got Zhang Xin's approval, he directly set up the trading department, and divided it into two groups. One group was in charge of watching foreign exchange, gold and other trading varieties that existed almost around the clock during the day, and the other group was in charge of watching at night. US stock market.

Maybe all the employees think that Zhang Xin is the boss's friend, so the company seems very calm about Zhang Xin's arrival.

This is exactly the effect Zhang Xin wants. The outside world can only see that Quantum Investment thinks that Wang Shen is the shareholder and Wang Shen, so they will naturally think that Wang Shen is their boss.

After a general tour of the company, the two came to Wang Shen's office.

Due to Hong Kong's regulations, the offices of top management must be made of transparent glass, so as to prevent unspoken rules in the workplace.

Outsiders only saw the boss and a strange man discussing something excitedly, but they didn't know that this was Wang Shen reporting to the company's actual shareholders.

After looking at the account, Zhang Xin said: "Don't forget to buy the dollar put option. Now we don't have anything else, but the funds are quite sufficient."

At noon, Wang Shen took Zhang Xin to the tea restaurant downstairs of the company to eat something to fill his stomach, and then began to stroll on the road, and Wang Shen had to accompany him all the way.

Looking at the hurrying pedestrians, Zhang Xin said with emotion: "Oh, as expected of an international metropolis, the pace of people coming and going here is faster than that of the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

Wang Shendao: "I got used to it after staying here for a long time, and I'm quite used to it now."

"I think you are simply too happy to think about leaving, kid. You are a prince here, and you have the right to say what you say."

Wang Shen changed the subject and said, "Daxian, I found that you are still missing something."

Zhang Xin asked: "Oh? Tell me what is missing in me?"

"Of course it's a famous watch. As the saying goes, poor people play with cars and rich people watch. A good famous watch can better reflect a person's temperament, low-key luxury without being ostentatious."

Zhang Xin said vigilantly: "Could it be that you have received sponsorship from a brand?"

Then on second thought, he really needed a watch, but he didn't buy it for himself, but for Li Xueer.

So Zhang Xin asked Wang Shen to lead the way to Landmark, a well-known luxury gathering place.

Here, almost all the luxury brands in the world are gathered.

This time Zhang Xin wanted to buy a watch, so he naturally chose the most luxurious brand, because a watch can sometimes show a person's status, especially when dealing with unfamiliar people, it can avoid a lot of embarrassment and trouble.

The two came to the Patek Philippe store, and the shopping guide entertained them neither humble nor humble.

"Sir, have you ever bought our Patek Philippe watch before?"

Zhang Xin replied: "No, it's my first time looking at a watch, is there any question?"

The shopping guide said: "That's right. Patek Philippe is the world's most luxurious watch brand. Every watch is made by our experienced watchmakers. All the parts are polished by hand. We can only produce a few times a year." There are very limited watches, so each one is extremely precious.”

"Well, then? Does this have anything to do with whether I have bought a Patek Philippe?"

"Due to the limited quantity, we will give priority to our members, that is to say, customers who have purchased our Patek Philippe."

Zhang Xin said: "So I can't buy it even if I have money?"

The shopping guide said: "No, it's just that you can only buy our entry-level watches, but don't worry, even if it is an entry-level watch, it is not inferior among all watches."

Zhang Xin said to Wang Shen: "Hey, this Patek Philippe is interesting. I have never bought it before. I can only buy it from the entry-level level. What kind of rules are there?"

Wang Shen said: "He is also the top ten watches in the world anyway, and it is normal to be a little arrogant."

Zhang Xin looked at the watches placed on the showcase, which looked even more dazzling under the light.

Zhang Xin saw a watch with sapphire as the mirror and said, "Miss, please take out this watch for me to wear."

Zhang Xin put on the watch and showed it to Wang Shen, who also praised: "Yes, it matches well."

The shopping guide lady said inappropriately: "Sir, this watch is not an entry-level watch, so you can only appreciate it."

Zhang Xin is also a little annoyed, this is completely looking down on people.

So Zhang Xin asked: "Excuse me, what if I insist on buying this watch?"

"Can't buy it, you can only buy the entry-level model first."

Zhang Xin really didn't want to argue with her, so he took out his bank card and said, "I'll buy an entry-level watch first, and then I'll buy this watch. Is there any problem with this operation?"

The shopping guide thought for a while and said, "Sir, what you did is completely in line with our brand's rules."

So Zhang Xin randomly picked an entry-level watch, and then slowly observed it, trying to pick out a watch that suits his heart.

In the end, I still think that the watch with sapphire mirror looks the most pleasing to the eye.

After paying the money, the shopping guide put the two watches in a shopping bag and handed them to Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin then asked, "Do you have any ladies' watches worth recommending? I want to buy one for my wife."

The shopping guide said: "Of course, these models are more in line with female aesthetics. It is up to you to decide which one you like."

Soon Zhang Xin found a women's watch with a purple sapphire mirror, so he said without hesitation: "This watch is packed for me, thank you!"
