After reading the options product information sent by Duan Mu Xinghao, Dong Qiangqiang sighed. He knew that he had been completely attracted by this financial product.
What Duanmu said is indeed true: if an investor is wrong about the development trend of a stock, his total loss will be all the money invested in purchasing options. And if he sees/guesses correctly the direction of the stock's trend in the next few months, the potential income from investing in options may be several times or even more than ten times the profit obtained from investing the same amount in stocks. Not to mention that options make money on both sides, while stocks can only make money from a unilateral rise. More possibilities and more potential profits stimulated Dong Qiangqiang's nerves every second.
He was sure that he would definitely increase his investment in public stocks and options products, but how to allocate the investment ratio between the two when making additional investments gave him a headache.
Just when he was debating how much to invest in public call options, Lei Lanting, who was lying on the mattress, suddenly jerked up and sat upright from the bed. Then he leaned over and vomited out with a loud "wow".
Dong Qiangqiang had long expected that he would react like this to sobering up, so he had prepared a clean washbasin and placed it next to the mattress.
Lei Lanting vomited for seven or eight minutes before falling exhausted on the bed. While breathing out the smell of alcohol, he shouted: "Water. Give me water."
Dong Qiangqiang threw a hot towel on his face, and then handed him a large glass of cold water. Lei Lanting drank too much beer and his mouth was thirsty. He didn't say a word. After wiping his face, he drank a whole glass of beer and burped several times before falling down on the mattress again. .
But this time he did not fall asleep again. Instead, he stared at the ceiling without saying a word.
Dong Qiangqiang saw that he didn't want to talk, so he didn't force him. He gave him another glass of water and continued to look down at the computer to check news related to the public.
The small lamp on the table gave off a warm orange light. The room was quiet, and neither of them spoke.
A long while passed.
"I really hate you sometimes." Lei Lanting was lying on the mattress looking at the ceiling, and suddenly said something out of nowhere, "I just can't figure it out, why does Lele like you?"
Dong Qiangqiang knew that Lei Lanting had not turned around in his mind yet. He didn't want to explain, so he simply stopped talking and let the other party say enough.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang didn't answer, Lei Lanting angrily picked up the pillow at hand and threw it at Dong Qiangqiang (Lei Lanting leaned on Dong Qiangqiang's quilt).
Dong Qiangqiang thought he would continue scolding him, but he didn't expect something flying over. He hurriedly reached out to catch it. When he saw it was a pillow, he put it behind his back as a cushion.
"Hey," Lei Lanting grinned, "Speak. Don't be like a piece of wood. Do you only know how to speak when you see Lele?"
"The more you say, the more mistakes you make," Dong Qiangqiang said quietly, "I'm afraid of deepening your misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Bah. Can it be a misunderstanding when my hands are stretched like that?" Lei Lanting said angrily, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"You really misunderstood, but you definitely don't believe me if I tell you." Dong Qiangqiang said, but his eyes were still staring at the screen carefully. He had just found a Swiss stock trading forum where there were many posts discussing the German stock market. This made him curious and excited, so he didn't pay much attention to Lei Lanting's mood.
"Well, tell me why I misunderstood? Let me also hear how you, a gentleman, lied to others?" Lei Lanting felt sick to his stomach after sitting for a long time, so he simply stood up and walked around the room while rubbing his stomach.
"Tong Lele has a classmate who is Austrian and also studies music. He has been pursuing her. But Tong Lele doesn't like him and has rejected him several times to no avail. So during this carnival, she asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend so that she can The Austrians gave up completely. As a result, as soon as the Austrians left, you saw us before we even let go of our hands, and what happened next... you knew everything."
Dong Qiangqiang spoke half truths and half lies. This was not because he wanted to deliberately deceive Lei Lanting. It was just that the pig catching business looked very promising. Dong Qiangqiang did not want to get into trouble with Lei Lanting at this juncture. He could feel that Tong Lele had a crush on him, otherwise she wouldn't have asked him to do such a thing. The old trick of pretending to be a boyfriend was itself a tactful hint used by girls towards boys they had a crush on.
But Dong Qiangqiang had just fallen out of love before going abroad, and he still hadn't completely gotten over his last relationship. Although Tong Lele is a beauty and he has a crush on Tong Lele, he is not ready to start a new relationship right away.
Although the two held hands in the amusement park, in that atmosphere at that time, holding hands seemed to be a very natural behavior, not an intimate act like a couple.
But Lei Lanting obviously didn't believe his lies. He glared at Dong Qiangqiang with disdain: "If you like it, you just like it. What can't you dare to admit? If you really like Lele and say that, then I really look down on you. You deserve it." Not like Lele."
Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect him to say that, and was stunned for a moment.
"Let me ask you one question, do you like Lele?" Lei Lanting approached Dong Qiangqiang aggressively and asked.
"I actually don't know either." Dong Qiangqiang lowered his head and murmured.
"What do you mean 'I don't know'? What do you think, don't you know?" Lei Lanting pulled a chair from the side, sat down next to Dong Qiangqiang angrily, and said in a serious voice, smelling of alcohol, " According to my experience, if you don’t know, it means you don’t like her. So you actually don’t like Tong Lele.”
Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Lei Lanting eager to help him draw a conclusion. He really never thought about pursuing Tong Lele. However, seeing Lei Lanting's infatuation for Tong Lele, he couldn't help but have the idea of adult beauty, but he suddenly wanted to tease Lei Lanting before expressing his feelings.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A man's voice sounded in German behind the white light. The person who heard the voice must be elderly.
"I was... locked in the bathroom just now." Dong Yiqing said truthfully, "Can you turn off the light?"
The man took the flashlight and shined it up and down at Dong Yiqing for a long time, then turned the flashlight to low-light mode and asked, "Then why don't you leave quickly?"
Dong Yiqing said to her heart who wants to stay in this hellish place, I also want to go back as soon as possible. But he could only say politely: "It's too dark here, I can't see the exit clearly."
"You're going the wrong way," the man pointed behind Dong Yiqing, "the exit is behind you on the right."
"Behind me?" Dong Yiqing pointed to the exit sign in front of her head in confusion. She didn't understand why what the man said was inconsistent with what the sign said. "But I saw on the arrow that it said there was only one exit at the station, and it was still in front of me. From the front, why did you run to the back again?"
Seeing Dong Yiqing questioning herself, the man looked very impatient and waved his hand: "There are two exits in the station, one is blocked, and now only the exit behind you can leave the station. You hurry up, I will get off work soon. .”
Dong Yiqing knew that Germans had a strong sense of getting off work, saying that they would never delay getting off work even a minute longer. She quickly thanked him, then quickly turned around and walked toward the exit.
Dong Yiqing didn't take two steps when she suddenly heard someone behind her say, "Is this your thing?"
As soon as Dong Yiqing turned around, she heard a sudden gust of wind behind her. Before she could react, she felt her head was hit by something. Her eyesight was dazzled and she fainted.
