Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 755 Golden Storm
I am old enough to reassure my parents, but when my parents are old, they won't let us worry.

Sitting in the sunny backyard of the restaurant, enjoying the afternoon sun and the warm sea breeze, looking at the endless sea, I suddenly thought of Mr. Lin, and from time to time, it would appear in my mind that Mr. Lin was walking on the beach with his hands behind his back. Little boy, stumbling behind his ass.

Recalling a lot of people in the past, the past events are as vivid as yesterday.

In just a few years, things have changed, what should go, what should disappear has disappeared, what should have grown has grown, and I have begun to miss the past, am I getting old?

In life, many people are actually passers-by. They will appear in your life by chance at different times. Some of them may be for a short moment, and some may be for a lifetime.

Shengnan's phone call broke the originally quiet memory, and he said anxiously: "You come back quickly, our mother is obsessed, and she took all the 100 million that Yaoyang gave her to buy gold! I can't stop it , our father is not at home, I really can't help it!"

I complained: "Why don't you follow her!"

Katsuo replied anxiously: "I'll follow. I said I'd drive her there. I went to get the car, but she ran off on her own!"

I calmed down for a while, knowing that I shouldn't blame Shengnan, so I comforted him: "It's okay, do you know where she usually buys gold?"

Sheng Nan immediately reacted and said: "I know, Chow Tai Fook, even if it is not in that store, it is also a gold shop on that street. Now the old ladies don't dance in the square, they all run there!"

I hummed and said: "Don't worry, we two are rushing over there together now, if you arrive first, you must find a way to stop her, and we will talk about everything when I arrive!"

Katsuo hummed and agreed.

While driving, I called Yaoyang. Before Yaoyang could speak, I yelled, "Are you sick? Give our mother 100 million yuan to speculate in gold? How much money did you spend?"

Yaoyang said unhurriedly: "The old lady worked so hard to bring you up, and now she brings up my son, what's wrong with asking for some money? Besides, our mother is an investment, and the money I earn is returned to me. This business Can’t do it? Why are you in a hurry? I won’t ask you for money! I haven’t told you yet, why is it so difficult for my mother to ask you for some money? You see, it took two days for my mother to force me Talk to me!"

I poohed and said, "Am I picking that? My mother knows how to make gold? You give her 100 million to fry gold? That's 100 million, not 10! If it costs 100, 100 It’s okay to just buy a lesson, but that’s [-] million, do you know how many people can’t earn [-] million in their lifetime?”

Yaoyang cut it and said: "It means that our mother will definitely lose the same. I think the gold market is doing very well. I haven't seen gold drop in price in these years. This gold is more valuable than diamonds. This is the only one in the world. The currency that has always been popular! You won’t lose money, don’t worry!”

I snorted and said, "Don't worry! Gold is a rare non-ferrous metal. It's useless, it's better than broken copper and iron! Now that gold is so unstable, there are international financial predators operating behind the scenes, buying short and selling short , Judging from the market, it will have to fall for a while, and it will definitely be a loss if you start now."

Yaoyang said disapprovingly: "Why are you afraid of a drop? I have never heard of gold. When no one wants gold, if you want to say that the most valuable thing in this world is gold, is the dollar strong? No, it is still there every year." Depreciation, is the British pound safe? Look at the current exchange rate? Not to mention diamonds, one price per day. Just keep your heart in your stomach, right? Do you think I’m stupid? Just give our mother 100 million casually Are you playing? I don’t really feel sorry for the money. I’m afraid that if the old lady really loses money, there will be troubles. I’ve done a survey, and judging by the current gold trend, the international predators will definitely let it go. Gold stops at the $1400 mark, and it will continue to press down. When it hits the $1300 mark, you have to be careful. Before that, as long as someone buys, they will never think that it will drop to $1300. This time I think they will Miscalculated! They underestimated the purchasing power of our Chinese aunts!"

After listening to Yaoyang's words, I was actually shaken in my heart, yes, it seems to be quite reasonable.

No matter how much it falls, gold is a valuable thing, and it will rise sooner or later. Otherwise, how can the world economy be balanced?It is impossible to use US dollars, this kind of paper that can print as much as you want to measure, right?This is unrealistic!

Yaoyang saw that I stopped talking, and added fuel and vinegar: "It's almost time to start buying. Today's gold price is 253 yuan/gram, which is a record low. If I can snatch those aunts, I will also go to the queue!"

I groaned and said, "Anyway, I don't approve of our mother speculating in these financial products, the risk is too great!"

Yaoyang snorted and said: "You can easily choke to death if you drink water, so don't drink water! Just don't worry about it! I know this matter well! By the way, you haven't practiced boxing for a long time, come over to me in a while Teach you, I plan to fight a Thai boxing champion in a few days!"

I was still thinking about gold, so I agreed casually.

When the car arrived at the place, I rushed to the Chow Tai Fook Gold Store, and there was a line of people at the door. I didn’t know that this was a gold grab, not a gold purchase!
I saw Katsuo among a group of aunts, squeezing towards me, and I asked loudly, "Did you see our mother?"

Katsuo shook his head and said, "I can't squeeze in!"

Then suddenly shouted: "Mom!" Pointing to the counter in the gold shop, my mother was holding a card and happily wanted to swipe it.

I pushed aside an aunt in front of me and squeezed desperately inside.

The aunt pulled me back very forcefully, grabbed my collar and said, "Where are you squeezing? Don't you know how to line up?"

I looked at this tough aunt, didn't dare to speak back for a long time, then showed an anxious expression, and said pitifully: "Auntie, my mother is inside, she has a bad heart, I'm afraid she'll get sick, look Her complexion is gone!"

My aunt's sympathy was suddenly aroused by me and she said: "Hey, dutiful son! Okay, you go in front of me!" After finishing speaking, I did not forget to stop my companions in front and tell them to make way for me.

When I squeezed to my mother's side after all the hard work, my mother had already finished swiping the card with joy, saw me squeezed in with sweat profusely, and just wanted to explain to me, I asked: "You bought all of them. what?"

My mother nodded guiltily.She thought I would blame her.

I asked, "Can I still buy it?"

My mother's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "It's still possible, it's still possible! Haven't we left yet?"

Then he stopped the manager and said, "Give me some more!"

The manager looked at me and asked, "How much more? Your mother bought a lot?"

I thought for a while and said, "Another 50 yuan!"

Both my mother and the manager showed surprise expressions, picked up the card I handed over without hesitation, and swiped it.

When my mother and I came out with a pile of bills, the aunt who let me in just now asked me with concern: "How is your mother?"

I hurriedly put my hand on my mother and said gratefully: "It's much better, much better! Thank you very much!"

Walking out of the crowd, my mother and I counted how many we bought in total?
Katsuo ran over anxiously and asked me, "Did you stop it?"

My mother and I looked at Katsuo at the same time and said together, "I can't stop it!"

Back home, Katsuo asked very angrily for the first time to hold a family meeting, and everyone had to attend.

Yaoyang was also called back, little Yaoyang hugged my calf when he saw me, and asked me to use my calf to swing for him.

This little guy is weird, cute, and good at playing tricks, blowing kisses and grimacing.

Everyone she sees will pretend to be cute, even if she comes to my place, she either hits me or ignores me.

I grabbed his collar, pulled him up, put him on the ground and said, "Look, your spout has all rubbed against my pants. Will you wash it for me later?"

Xiao Yaoyang didn't speak, just gave me a blank look, stretched out his hand and hit me, then turned around and wanted to leave.

He was dragged back by me, and threatened: "You still dare to hit me? The sky is turned upside down! Your father has to salute and bow when he sees me, how dare you hit me!"

At this time, the little guy saw my mother walking out of the kitchen, ran over at once, pointed at me and muttered.

Without further ado, my mother picked up the broom and rushed over to me. I ran to the room in a hurry, just in time to meet Katsuo who came out angrily, pushed me hard, and ordered: "Get out!"

Then when she saw my mother, she also lowered her face. My mother knew that she was wrong, put down the broom, and carried Xiao Yaoyang to the kitchen resentfully.

Shengnan stopped my mother and said: "Mom, you first hand Xiao Yaoyang to Zhang's mother, I have something to say! A meeting!"

The whole family sat on the sofa obediently, and no one dared to speak.

Katsuo sat across from us and said, "Mom, let me talk about you first. You said that you are so obsessed with buying gold now. If it's 10, 8 is fine! But you are too exaggerated!"

My mother argued: "This is all for your dowry!"

Shengnan snorted and said, "Mom, your gold can be used as a Leshan Giant Buddha, and you can make it a dowry for me. Where can I put it?"

My mother said with a smile: "You can put it in the bank, and no interest will be charged, and you don't need to cash it!"

Yaoyang gave a thumbs up, Katsunan glared at him, Yaoyang hurriedly lowered his head again.

Shengnan pointed at Yaoyang and said, "You say you have a lot of money, right? Mom is confused by herself, and you are also confused. Take out 100 million and mess with my mother. If you lose it, what do you think? Do you want to do it? I see, these years, you have become rich, and you don’t take money seriously. This is what you have worked so hard to earn back every penny! It’s so nonsense! I’m so pissed off !"

I echoed, blaming Yaoyang and saying: "Nonsense! I'm so mad!"

Sheng Nan yelled at me: "Shut up, you are the most worthless thing! What are we going to do? You forgot! You stopped our mother from buying gold, you are so good, let's buy it together! We Mom is old and ignorant, and you will add to the chaos!"

I squinted and said, "What do you say about our mother?"

My mother slapped me and said, "Shut up, you're helping me now, and I think Sheng Nan is right, you are not a thing! You are persuading me! You say you are still following me!" I'm crazy, I'm ignorant, forget it, what do you think you're doing! Shengnan, don't be angry, mom will make you some delicious food later!"

Shengnan's sullen face lost his temper at the moment, but he still persuaded earnestly: "Mom, we really can't spend money like this, we can't be rich for three generations, we have money, we should spend it carefully , I know that you are all for my own good, but I think you are really serious this time..."

After speaking, I was about to cry.

Now my mother was in a hurry and hurriedly pulled Shengnan and said, "I know you are doing it for our family's good, but actually...we really can't lose money on this gold!"

My dad, who had been silent all this time, finally persuaded him: "Shengnan, you heard from dad that your mother's vision is really right this time, why don't I stop your mother? I am optimistic about the gold market." Don’t think that these aunts can only dance square dances and gossip, they are the nemesis of Wall Street! You don’t believe them, and you don’t believe me! When did Dad miss it?”

Katsuo wrote the letter, stared blankly at me and asked, "Really? But financial matters can't be learned in a day and a half? Our mother can't even read K-line charts." ?”

Yaoyang smiled and said: "You underestimate our mother, our mother can not only read K-line charts, but also understand what is moving average, Bollinger bands, MACD, RSI, kdj, and she told me what non-agricultural index is called yesterday !"

The few of us looked at my mother in astonishment at the same time, and my mother said triumphantly: "What's so strange about this? The old Wangtou downstairs is a financial expert who retired from the National Institute of Financial Psychology. He teaches us every day. We It’s not difficult to learn everything, it’s much easier than calculating how much money you get when you buy vegetables! We’ll tell you one of the simplest truths—in this world, as long as you know it’s valuable, you’ll have no hesitation , find a way to own it!"

Katsuo nodded and said: "Mom, what you said is really reasonable, just like I have identified A Fei, no matter what people outside say about him, I think he will always appreciate in value, I bought potential stocks, unlimited Potential stocks, value preservation!"

My mother smiled and said, "That's the reason!"

Shengnan smiled and pulled my mother and asked: "Mom, teach me, I won't go to work tomorrow, I will learn how to speculate in gold and stocks with you at home every day!"

My mother pinched Shengnan's face and said: "Silly girl, it's your career when you go to work, is it to make money? The same is true for me to speculate in gold, it's my career!"

The whole family suddenly felt a sense of reverence, looking at this much taller housewife.Is this still my mother who can only cook, wash and take care of the children?This is a model of a new generation of intellectual women with solid financial knowledge, ideals, morality, and style!
