Chapter 4 02. The poorest and the richest

Late at night, dead of night. Xia Yuan drove the car alone on the road in the west of the school.The lights of the teaching buildings on the side of the road have long been turned off, only a few all-night classrooms are still lit with white lights. The night sky is clear and the stars are shining brightly.The street lamps reflect the occasional couples of "student couples" who come home late, snuggling up to each other sweetly. Xia Yuan's car circled the west area and slowly moved forward.At this time, a figure appeared in front of him looking for the trash can.Xia Yuan smiled, he would always laugh when he saw this person, he didn't have many friends, but this trash picker happened to be his friend.

Xia Yuan got out of the car, walked over and said, "Gu Yuxiao, why did you come here to pick up cans in the middle of the night again?" Gu Yu smiled and raised his head. He was the same age as Xia Yuan, with big and energetic eyes. Naturally, the clothes he wore were not as elegant as Xia Yuan, but they were very clean and refreshing.At his feet was a large bag containing soda cans.Seeing Xia Yuan, he smiled and said, "Xia Yuan, why did you come to see me pick up cans in the middle of the night again?" His smile was full of happiness and satisfaction with life. Both of them laughed, and a couple passing by saw a person getting out of a BMW standing and laughing with a trash picker, and it was incredible.

"Come on, let me see how many things you picked up today, hehe, it's quite a lot, you've made a lot of money." Xia Yuan laughed. Gu Yu smiled and said, "Do you want to help me pick up soda cans again?" Xia Yuan said: "I never wanted to pick up cans for you. Last time I asked you for help. There was nothing I could do." Gu Yu smiled and said: "Hehe, last time you helped me pick up cans, it saved you hundreds of thousands of losses in stocks." Xia Yuan said: "I don't want to make money by picking up cans for you at all." Gu Yu asked with a smile: "So, you came to me so late today just to watch me pick up soda cans?"

"No, I'd like to buy you a few drinks." They both laughed again. What they drink is not wine, but tea. Xia Yuan almost never drinks alcohol. He believes that an excellent stock operator must keep a clear mind at all times, so when he buys stocks in his hand, he never drinks alcohol; Gu Yuxiao doesn't drink much, so they both drink tea. At 11:30 in the evening, Yinfeng Tea House, one of the best tea houses in Hangzhou. What Xia Yuan drank was the fine-ear silver needle tea from Mount Wuyi, which has a delicate fragrance.What Gu Yuxiao drank was Kudingcha, the kind of Kudingcha that was so bitter that it was sweet after a while.

Xia Yuan said: "I still don't understand why, a rich person like you always likes to go to school in the middle of the night to pick up cans." "It's just a labor, labor is a very happy thing." Gu Yuxiao showed a happy smile, the kind of smile that loves life and loves everything.Not many people can regard picking cans as a happy labor.Xia Yuan admired him very much in his heart. Xia Yuan said: "It's hard to imagine that you are always so happy, at least you are always smiling when I see you." Gu Yuxiao laughed again, and said: "My name is 'Gu Yuxiao', 'Gu' means 'look back', 'Yu' means 'me', together they mean 'look back at my smile' Right’, if I don’t smile, people won’t be able to see my smile when they turn around, isn’t that ‘not worthy of the name’? Ha ha ha ha.”

Both of them laughed. Xia Yuan said: "I went to see someone today." Gu Yu smiled and asked, "Who?" Xia Yuandao: "The most famous person in Hangzhou in the stock market is the third youngest in Hangzhou." "One of the three giant crocodiles in East China, hehe, how did you meet him?" Gu Yu asked with a smile. "He is in Zhuang Linmei shares. I have been tracking this stock for two weeks. According to my calculations, the daily limit should be reached soon, and the stock price will rise sharply. So I was in the trading hall outside his big house. Xing bought 1 million shares, and within 5 minutes, he came out to see me, hehe." Xia Yuan said with a little satisfaction.

Gu Yu smiled and said: "This way of meeting is worth a lot of money. You want to meet him, but instead ask him to give you money. This must be a headache for Jin Sanshao. This method is only in your world. Only the smartest and most cunning guy in the world can figure it out. But every time you buy a stock, it can always go up and down within five days, and I will never figure out how you do it." Xia Yuan said: "Individual stocks are easy to do, but the market index is difficult to predict. I will never understand why your predictions on the index are always so accurate."

Gu Yu said with a smile: "If you are willing to read the daily changes in the indices of the world's major financial markets over the past few decades, as well as what happened on that day, with your intelligence, your predictions will definitely be more accurate than mine." Xia Yuan sighed lazily, and said: "I am most afraid of such troublesome things. So you are a diligent person, and I will never be." He went on to say: "I guess the third young master of Hangcheng Jin will come to me soon." "Oh?" Gu Yu asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly lure him out this time?"

Xia Yuan said: "The God of Stock Competition." Gu Yu asked with a smile: "Are you planning to participate in the stock god competition?" Xia Yuandao: "Yes, but I am good at short-term stock operations, and you are good at index forecasting and long-term stock selection. So I invite you to participate together." "No," Gu Yu said with a smile, "I won't participate, but when you need me, I will do my best to help you." Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Then what is this for?" Gu Yu smiled and said: "I don't participate because I am not interested in this stock god competition at all, and I don't want to participate at all. I will help you because we are friends, friends, and I really don't have many friends."

Xia Yuan and Gu Yu smiled at each other. Among the tens of thousands of students in a university, there will always be some very interesting people.Xia Yuan and Gu Yuxiao are undoubtedly two of them. Xia Yuan drives a BMW and stays in a hotel; Gu Yuxiao picks up cans and sells them for money. In the eyes of ordinary people, these are two completely extreme forms of life, but the two of them are friends.Apart from the two of them, none of them had any other friends. They are actually very nice people.Xia Yuan has no friends, because he gives people the impression that he is too rich. People who are young and too rich always feel too lonely—maybe he is not lonely at all, but he is still complaining about riding a bicycle Students whose food in the cafeteria is too expensive would never think of being Xia Yuan's friends.Gu Yuxiao also has no friends, in fact he is easier to get along with, he never even gets angry, he always looks at everything with a smile, but he still has no friends.He gives people the impression that he is too poor. No matter what generation he is in, a poor and happy person will always be looked down upon—maybe he is not poor at all, but he advocates mental work to make money and talks about future classmates , would disdain to be a friend of Gu Yuxiao who picks up cans.
