Society owes me a brother

Chapter 159

The car slowly stopped at the door of the Stanford apartment.The car door opened slowly, and after the Wall Street tycoons and star traders appeared with big bags and small bags, Lu Chi and Yue Bin appeared at the door of their apartment again with big bags and small bags.

No one lived in it for more than a month, the courtyard was full of dead branches and leaves and the remaining snow after melting, and the door frame and railing were also covered with dust, which looked dilapidated and deserted.

Yue Bin frowned and looked around, then opened the door and said, "We need to clean up the yard sometime."

Before the words were finished, the door of the apartment next door opened suddenly, and the employees who stayed at the campus network headquarters rushed out.The cold spring is cold and windy, and the scene of a large group of young and energetic guys running out in T-shirts, shorts, flip-flops is simply spectacular. The leader is holding two white envelopes, while running over the fence. , while shouting wildly: "Hey, my dear Lu, my dear Yue, my dear bosses, you are finally back. You can't imagine what happened a month after you left!"

"We have received an invitation from...." Because he was so excited, the young programmer spoke as fast as a black hole swallowing his voice.

So the two bosses, who smelled like bacon and pickles, stood dumbfounded at the door of their house, surrounded by employees who were frothing and excited - they even wanted to lift Yue Bin and Lu Chi up - Just like people lifted up their heroes, and then stopped by Lu Chi in time.He was worried that the bottles and jars on his body would be broken due to too violent actions.

"What happened to make you so excited?" Yue Bin asked amusedly.Before the excited employees responded, Yue Bin raised his paw again, pointed at the apartment and said, "Forget it, let's go in and talk about it first!"

Yue Bin welcomed the staff into the apartment.The employees walked to the front row of the sofa and sat down familiarly, watching Lu Chi put the large and small packages of sausage and pickles into the refrigerator.

"Wait, is that the legendary side dish and the sausage that Lu's father made himself for a long time without spoiling?" Someone asked while sniffling and raising his paw.

"Yes." Lu Chishun took a pack of sausages and threw them over: "Would you like to try it?"

"Of course." The employees took the sausage thrown over from the air: "Although the taste is a bit strange, but if you get used to it, you will find it quite delicious."

"Especially with toast."

A group of employees said that there is this advantage in working with the boss who pays attention to appetite - you can eat all kinds of weird delicacies.Of course, the most important thing is that you can earn money to enjoy various delicacies.

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more biased, Yue Bin had no choice but to remind: "You seemed to be very excited just now? What happened?"

As soon as this was mentioned, the young code farmers became excited again: "My dear bosses, you can hardly imagine that we have received an invitation letter from XXXX."

"In fact, the four shareholders of the campus network received this invitation letter. The invitation letter from Yang and Matthew should have been sent to the school..." Mr. Ma Nong danced and gestured incoherently: "The postman stood in the apartment three days ago We saw it at the door. We worried that these two invitation letters would be eroded by wind and rain if they stayed in the mailbox, so we put them away..."

Even though Mr. Ma Nong's explanation was very confusing, the young bosses still understood it.Lu Chi reached out and picked up the two invitations that were respectfully placed on the table—they were invitations to a private party from a bigwig in Silicon Valley, and the party would be held next weekend.Under normal circumstances, such private parties are not open to the public, and journalists are not allowed to enter.However, the bigwig's private parties often make headlines in the gossip entertainment section.The most famous part of this party is that the host of the party will invite Hollywood stars and the most watched models in the fashion industry to "stand" every time.And the guests who can receive this invitation letter are also the most influential and top group of people in Silicon Valley.

"It seems that our campus network has finally been recognized by the world's bigwigs." The code farmers who were more excited than the bosses were eating sausages and mustard, while spitting excitedly: "When can we also participate in this kind of party? Enough."

As they said that, the code farmers looked at the two bosses very sadly - if there is only one fly in the ointment in working on the campus network, it is probably that the two bosses, Yue Bin and Lu Chi, don't like to hold parties.So much so that the employees of the campus network were so suffocated that they had to find ways to go to the parties of other companies around them. Fortunately, the joining of Zhang Yang and another major shareholder, Matthew Locke, made up for this shortcoming a little.However, compared with the IT companies in the industry who often hold parties, the number of parties held by the campus network is still so small that it is outrageous.

This makes the country M code farmers who are party animals have to express their deep regret.

Lu Chi looked at the code farmers who seemed to have lost all sense of taste for a moment, and felt a little salty for some reason.So he got up and poured a glass of water for each of the employees. By the way, he said: "Starting tomorrow, I will put more energy on hedge funds. If you are interested, you can invest in the internal employee benefits of the campus network." Add some investment funds. Of course, if you are worried that this part of the money will suffer losses, you can also withdraw all the money before nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Lu Chi paused, and added vaguely: "This time we are not speculating in stocks, but futures - I have to tell you the truth, this is an area I have never touched before."

Before the words fell, all the employees were already refreshed.They will never forget the heroic attitude of the boss when he shorted ST Communications and AK Telecom.In fact, before this, no one knew that Lu Chi was so talented in stock trading.

"Boss, don't worry about investing!" I was poached before, but I accidentally broke the news about the internal benefits of the campus network. Since then, the recruitment mailbox of the campus network has been full every day, and the personnel department had to report to the technical department. Mr. Code Nong, who innovated the company's internal mailbox storage system, raised his paw and said: "Personally, I will always believe in the boss's vision."

"Yes, yes, yes, we really believe in the investment vision of the boss."

Some people tentatively suggested: "Can I advance this year's salary and bonus to the investment account?" Anyway, for these coders who stay at home, because the company benefits are good, and there is no opportunity to spend money. Instead of putting the money in the bank to earn interest, or handing it over to a financial manager who doesn't trust it, it's better to hand it over to the boss directly.

Lu Chi: "..."

So on the first day when Lu Chi arrived in country M, before everyone knew about it, Lu Chi got Eric & Lu Assets another million M gold account funds in a daze.

And in the next few days, the internal employees of the campus network seemed to mobilize all the relatives and friends around who could be mobilized, so that the funds in this part of the account have been growing continuously and steadily-basically dying every day. gold growth rate.This situation continued until the weekend. Lu Chi, Yue Bin, and the other two shareholders of the campus network were invited to a private party held by a Silicon Valley tycoon. A blowout state!

And this, before the party, no one expected.

But these are things for later.In Lu Chi's view, the problem he faces now is how to win the trust of those futures masters and star traders without any experience to talk about.

"Need us to give you some advice?" On Tuesday morning, the Silicon Valley apartment that had been up all night had been tidied up before going to work.After a night of wandering with the girls, but under the stimulation of marijuana, Huntred stood behind Lu Chi with his arms around his chest, and asked passionately: "Or do you still want to be like yesterday, show us your math talent? By the way, did you bring your crystal ball?"

Lu Chi frowned slightly.He knew that on Wall Street, drug use was a very common occurrence among traders and stockbrokers.Some even take daily doses of marijuana to keep them energized or relaxed during work hours.But no matter what, Lu Chi himself rejects this "awake" state controlled by drugs.

On the contrary, Hunter Reid and others who have always advocated passionate work are also very uncomfortable with Lu Chi's overly calm attitude-especially after Lu Chi left the party in the middle of the party last night, many people thought that Lu Chi Just so out of place.The traders who had favored Lu Chi in the "calculation formula" link also felt that Lu Chi's behavior was a bit inappropriate.

"Does he really consider himself our boss?"

"Even the boss, Mr. Rodriguez stayed at the party last night."

"In any case, it seems that he has no intention of getting along with us."

"Maybe he looks down on us. As Mr. Locke Jr. said, he is already a partner in Eric's estate at a young age. But we are still working under someone else's hands-maybe in the future we will be under his Work with your subordinates."

"If this is the case, we have to show this kid how powerful we are."

"..."

Lu Chi didn't know that a random action he made was "interpreted" with so many meanings, and it even aroused rejection of him.But even if Lu Chi knew, he would not choose to stay, let alone choose to sink with alcohol, beauties and drugs like those traders.

Therefore, in the face of Huntred's provocative actions that may be emotional, or deliberately pretend to be emotional just to arouse other people's emotions, Lu Chi has only one approach——

"I admit that my experience in the futures market is not as rich as everyone's, and my trading skills are definitely not as skilled as everyone's. But because of this, we need each other more." Lu Chi said, reaching out and tapping the computer screen: "It's like As I did yesterday, I can calculate the price trend of a certain commodity in a certain period of time, and even locate its precise price. So how to use this advantage to maximize benefits, or how to operate to make more money ...the latter still needs everyone's help."

"Our interests are the same. Instead of trying to prove that we are not inferior to others, it is better for each of us to do the best we can. Then..." Lu Chi clapped his hands, and the crisp sound was clear Into everyone's ears: "I believe this is why the bosses hired us."

There is no action that will be more touching than a person who has proven himself in the professional field and also recognized himself.

Lu Chi's simple words, but very smoothly resolved the awkward emotions of these star traders who recognized Lu Chi's ability, but worried that they would not be recognized by Lu Chi.So after hearing Lu Chi's words, everyone, including Henry Reid, couldn't help being proud first, subconsciously straightened their backs, looked at each other, and then took a slightly reserved tone, arrogantly asked: "So, you admit that you are not as good as us in the field of futures?"

"Of course." Lu Chi nodded without hesitation: "Actually, I haven't really touched this field yet. So I very much hope that in the next cooperation, I can seriously learn the skills of futures speculation from everyone."

At that moment, a mixture of pride and gloom flashed across the faces of most traders.Someone said arrogantly: "Futures trading is the same as stock trading, it all depends on talent. But we believe that with your talent, if you study hard, you shouldn't have any problems."

"But we won't take the initiative to teach you anything. If you are smart enough, you can observe the actions of each of us. As for what you can learn, it's up to you."

"I understand. The master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual." Lu Chi nodded with a smile, looked at the time, and suggested: "I have been studying the futures market for the past few days, and I think cotton futures may be in the next few days. There will be some fluctuations for a while. How about we practice with this first?"

"Cotton futures?" A group of traders looked at each other in blank dismay: "Are you sure?"

You must know that the cotton futures contract of the New York Futures Exchange implements a margin system.And according to the different temperaments of customers, the amount of minimum deposit is also different.Under normal circumstances, the initial margin of a speculative account is 1000M yuan per contract, and the maintenance margin is 750M yuan; while the initial margin of a hedging account is 500M yuan, and the maintenance margin is also 500M yuan.Moreover, in order to limit the daily price fluctuation range, the New York Futures Exchange has also formulated a very strict restriction system, requiring customers to implement different price range restrictions in the delivery month and the general month, coupled with strict position limit system and complex The premium and discount system, all in all, it is definitely not that easy to speculate in cotton futures in country M...at least it is not suitable for the newly released land holding operation.

Faced with everyone's worries and some secretly superior feelings, Lu Chi said with a smile: "Then practice a little bit. Our main purpose is to get acquainted with each other's operating habits and ways of thinking. Of course, the main reason is that I want to borrow This is an opportunity to learn about various systems in the futures market.”

Seeing that Lu Chi was so persistent, everyone stopped talking.But once things start, it will be much easier later.Especially when Lu Chi often specifies the time and price, it is not too easy to build and trade according to Lu Chi's instructions.

After careful running-in, Lu Chi also skillfully demonstrated his ability to everyone, and won the favor of most traders with his humble and studious attitude.

Regardless, competent and relatively soft-spoken colleagues are always welcome during work hours.

Maybe even Lu Chi himself didn't realize that the psychology he studied at Stanford last year was actually quite useful.At least before the private party of Silicon Valley tycoons arrives, Lu Chi has basically integrated into this "star-studded" team of traders.Old Mr. Locke, who had been silently following Lu Chi, and several other Wall Street tycoons saw this, and once again refreshed their views on this financial genius.
