Chapter 370: Ma Yili's kiss is very sweet

That night.

It was just 20:30 p.m., half an hour before the night session of the Shanghai Futures Exchange opened, but Ma Shengyuan could no longer sit still at home and paced back and forth in the living room with a nervous look on his face.

While mopping the floor and cleaning the living room, Xu Weidi said unhappily, "Old Ma, can you stop walking back and forth in the living room?"

"I get annoyed watching you walking around."

"We had a good family, but you almost ruined them all because of my stock speculation. Why didn't you die for the good people?"

Ma Shengyuan knew that he was in the wrong because he lost money in stock trading, so he didn't dare to breathe at home. He just let his wife Xu Weidi mock him with cold words and lit a cigarette in a cowardly manner.

Ma Shengyuan had just taken a puff of the cigarette when Xu Weidi rolled her eyes at him, leaning on the mop handle and angrily said, "How many times have I told you not to smoke in front of our daughter?"

"It's fine if I breathe secondhand smoke with you, but do you want your daughter to breathe secondhand smoke with you?"

"Uh...then...then I won't smoke anymore!" After hearing this, Ma Shengyuan hurriedly put out the cigarette he had just lit.

While mopping the floor, Xu Weidi sneered, "If you don't have the brains of a rich man, don't dream of getting rich overnight. Now you've lost more than you gained, and you don't know if you can make ends meet."

"If it wasn't for my daughter's high school classmate Lin Lang who came to my daughter's rescue and lent you 10 million yuan for futures trading to make a profit, our family would have been broken up."

Ma Yili, who was sitting at the computer desk and chatting with Lin Lang on QQ, said after hearing this: "Mom, please stop nagging my dad."

"My dad doesn't want to lose money in stock trading. If you hadn't always been nagging me about how incompetent he is and how he's inferior to my uncle Wang next door, my dad wouldn't have borrowed money, or even mortgaged his house to leverage stock trading!"

Xu Weidi seemed to get even angrier after hearing this. "Your uncle Wang next door was promoted from workshop director to deputy director of the cotton mill last month. He is treated like a deputy director, and the company even provides him with a car and a driver."

"Look at your father. He could have been an ordinary worker all his life, but he was so cowardly that he did something big. He secretly mortgaged our house to the bank and borrowed money from relatives and friends to leverage and invest in stocks. What was the result?"

"I was blind and bought stocks that were forced to be delisted. I lost everything I invested!"

Ma Shengyuan sat on the sofa with his head down, not daring to speak, as if his status in the family had never been very high.

After hearing this, Ma Yili said, "Mom, please don't say that you look at the neighbor Lao Wang all the time. This kind of words hurts my dad a lot."

"My uncle Wang next door was able to become the workshop director of the cotton mill and was promoted to deputy director because Aunt Wang was the child of a high-ranking official. If Uncle Wang's father-in-law was not a senior official, my uncle Wang would have been an ordinary worker for his whole life like my father."

Hearing his daughter constantly speaking well of him, Ma Shengyuan felt warm in his heart and said weakly, "My daughter is right. The old man next door is not only good at flattering people, but also has a father-in-law who is a cadre. How is he better than me?"

Xu Weidi complained: "You still have the nerve to compare yourself with the guy next door, Lao Wang. Look at Lao Wang's wife, she's wearing all kinds of gold and silver. Look at me, I'm your nanny every day, but I can't even afford to buy you a decent piece of clothing. How can you compare?"

After hearing this, Ma Shengyuan sighed and lowered his head again.

Ma Yili said, "Mom, my dad didn't let you wear gold and silver. As a daughter, I have a responsibility. You have spent a lot of money to support me as an art student for so many years."

"I have graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and have officially signed with Wheatfield Music. I will work hard to get acting jobs and make money so that you and my dad can live a good life."

After hearing this, Xu Weidi hurriedly said, "Don't think too much, my daughter. Mom is just a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If I were really the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich, I would have divorced your father a long time ago, right?"

Ma Shengyuan sat on the sofa and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, my daughter, as a new actor, you must cherish your reputation. Even if the script is not good, you can't take such a bad play even if you are paid a lot."

Ma Yili said: "Dad, I didn't want to tell you at first, but seeing how depressing the family atmosphere is, I will share a good news with you and my mom!"

After hearing this, Ma Shengyuan asked curiously, "What good news?"

Xu Weidi stood in the living room, leaning on the mop rod, and asked tentatively: "Daughter, do you want to officially announce that you and Lin Lang are in love?"

Ma Yili blushed and replied, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"What I want to say is that Maitian Music Company is sending people to negotiate with the female writer An Ni Baby for film and television rights. They are preparing to buy the film and TV rights of the short story "July and Ansheng". Lin Lang will personally be the screenwriter to adapt the script and invest in the film to cast me as the female lead."

"Really?!" Ma Shengyuan stood up from the sofa happily.

Ma Yili narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly: "Of course it's true. The novel "July and Ansheng" is very good, and it will definitely be well received if it is adapted into a movie."

After hearing this, Xu Weidi laughed happily and said, "Oh my goodness~ Lin Lang is really a noble man of our Ma family!"

"This time your father lost money in stock trading. If Lin Lang can really help your father turn the loss into profit in the futures market, then Lin Lang will be our family's great benefactor. You, my daughter, must thank Lin Lang!"

Ma Yili said: "Mom, I understand the ways of the world."

Ma Shengyuan finally smiled. "They are both acting, but the actors in movies are much more famous than those in TV shows, and their pay is much higher!"

Xu Weidi smiled happily and said, "Daughter, you must seize this opportunity!"

Ma Yili nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Mom. I will work hard and will never let you and my dad down. I will also never let Lin Lang down for his trust and support for me."

Ma Shengyuan and Xu Weidi smiled at each other, their eyes full of pride and expectations for their daughter.

The fate of this family seems to have changed because of the appearance of Lin Lang, and a gorgeous adventure is about to begin.

"Ding ding ding..." QQ message reminder.

Lin Lang: [The night session of the Shanghai Futures Exchange is about to open. Have you done everything to bind the futures software to your uncle's account? ]

Ma Yili typed on the keyboard and replied: [Everything is ready, just waiting for your futures price news.] Cute expression.

"Buzz buzz..." Ma Yili's cell phone vibrated.

The caller ID shows Lin Lang.

Ma Yili quickly answered the phone and called out sweetly, "Hello~Lin Lang!"

Lin Lang asked during the call: "Go back to your room and close the door. I will tell you about the futures market alone."

"Okay!" Ma Yili looked at her parents and said, "I'll go answer Lin Lang's call."

Xu Weidi hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Go quickly!"

Ma Yili returned to the room and closed the door, "Lin Lang, go ahead and talk!"

Lin Lang replied during the call: "Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary day in the history of gold. International gold futures will fall from the opening price of the night session at $312.70 per ounce to $263.80 per ounce, a drop of about 15.63%.

"Affected by the international gold futures, domestic gold futures will also hit the biggest single-day drop of 17.5% this year in today's night session."

Ma Yili exclaimed after hearing this: "Lin Lang, what you mean is that after the night session of the Shanghai Futures Exchange opens, I will use 1000 million to short gold futures, right?"

Lin Lang replied: "That's right!"

"The gold futures contracts of Shanghai Futures Exchange are in grams, and each contract contains 1000 grams of gold?6?8. Therefore, the value of one contract of gold futures is equal to the current gold price multiplied by 1000 grams. Do you understand?"

Ma Yili couldn't hide her excitement and replied, "I understand!"

Lin Lang continued, "Futures trading has a margin system. When investors trade gold futures, they need to pay a certain percentage of margin. The margin ratio is set by the exchange, usually between 6% and 8%."

"According to the regulations of the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the margin ratio for gold futures is around 12%-6-8."

"Therefore, you only need to set aside 1000% of the 15 million yuan for margin, and the remaining 850 million yuan can be used to short gold futures. Do you understand what I said?"

Ma Yili held up the phone and smiled sweetly: "Lin Lang, thank you for being so patient with me. I understand everything!"

"Silly boy, you are my woman, of course I will be patient with you!"

Ma Yili chuckled and then asked, "Is the handling fee for gold futures trading expensive?"

Lin Lang replied: "According to the regulations of the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the exchange fee for gold futures is 10 yuan per lot. This fee is fixed and has nothing to do with the price of gold futures. The fee for opening a position is 10 yuan, and the fee for closing a position is also 10 yuan?6?8."

Ma Yili said after hearing this: "I understand. The handling fee for gold futures trading is just a small amount of money. But how do you predict the rise and fall of gold?"

"Isn't it because your nickname is Lin Banxian and you figured it out by counting on your fingers?"

“I studied finance!”

"The weakening and decline of gold futures is due to the combined effects of the shift in the economic cycle, monetary policy and interest rate adjustments, and the strength of the U.S. dollar."

"It's hard for me to explain this to an art student like you. Anyway, you should buy when I tell you to. As long as the profit from shorting gold futures reaches 17.5%, you should close your position and cash out."

Ma Yili was extremely excited after hearing this and said, "If you short gold futures with 6 million and earn 8850%, wouldn't that mean you can earn more than 17.5 million in one go?"

Lin Lang replied during the call: "That's right!"

"yeah!"

Ma Yili was so happy that she jumped off the building and said happily: "My father lost a total of more than 48 yuan in stock trading, including the money from the mortgage loan of our house and the money borrowed from relatives and friends."

"Now, wouldn't it be possible for my dad to come back to life and even make an extra million with just one gold futures transaction?"

Lin Lang smiled and replied: "Yes!"

Ma Yili jumped up and down in the room with joy after hearing this. She raised the phone and said, "That's great, that's great!"

"Lin Lang, I love you, muah!" Ma Yili kept blowing kisses towards the phone.

Lin Lang reminded her during the call: "Ma Yili, you said you love me so loudly, aren't you afraid that the walls have ears and your parents are eavesdropping by the door?"

"Uh..." Ma Yili suddenly opened the door.

Ma Shengyuan and Xu Weidi, who were eavesdropping outside the door, felt awkward all of a sudden, and the couple could only smile awkwardly at their daughter.

Ma Yili's face flushed with shame, and she said awkwardly, "Mom and Dad, how could you eavesdrop on my phone call?"

Ma Shengyuan scratched his head and laughed awkwardly: "My dear daughter, I didn't hear anything, hehe..."

Xu Weidi heard that her daughter Ma Yili and Lin Lang were in a relationship, and she couldn't stop laughing. "I didn't hear anything either. Your father and I just came to remind you that the night session of the Shanghai Futures Exchange is about to open."

Ma Yili's face flushed red as she knew her parents must have overheard her confession to Lin Lang and her blowing him a kiss during the call. She shyly raised her phone and said, "Lin Lang, I'm hanging up first."

Lin Lang said "Bye..."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Yili pouted shyly and complained: "Mom and Dad, you are so annoying!"

Ma Shengyuan and his wife Xu Weidi exchanged glances, and the couple smiled knowingly, as if they were both very satisfied with Lin Lang, their son-in-law.

annotation:

Let me explain here why Ma Shengyuan almost jumped off the building after losing a total of more than 48 yuan in stock trading.

2000 was not a small amount of money in 48!

At the turn of the millennium, the average monthly salary of employees in Shanghai's state-owned enterprises was only 1155 yuan?6-8.

In 2000, the average house price in Haikou City was only 3326 yuan per square meter, and even buying a new house at that time came with a blue-stamped household registration.

From this we can see that the 48 yuan lost by an ordinary family in stock trading that year was definitely a huge debt that could not be repaid.
