Chapter 023 Considering Buying a House

The big-shot traders in the "bullpen" not only have a good working environment but also enjoy greater authority and higher commissions. More importantly, they can manipulate the market! It can be said that entering the "bullpen" is the dream of every trader in the company, and Chen Wei is no exception.

The company has a rule: if you make a profit exceeding ten thousand for three consecutive months, you can enter the "bullpen." Chen Wei hasn't exceeded ten thousand for three consecutive months, but he has exceeded ten thousand for three consecutive days!

As long as Chen Wei can maintain a reasonably consistent profit level for the remaining trading days of this month, there is still a good chance of entering the "bullpen."

With less than ten minutes left until the market closes, there's no need to make any more trades. A group of traders around him are amazed and envious, trying to flatter Chen Wei with their words.

However, Chen Wei remains indifferent, knowing that one should be treated with respect when prosperous and not disrespected when in adversity. He understands this principle very well.

Meanwhile, quietly sitting back at his desk, Zhou Yi is determined to work harder in the coming months to ensure all his profits exceed ten thousand and secure his spot in the "bullpen."

While there's a lot of lively chatter on one side of the room, the atmosphere around Wang Dongcheng's group is noticeably quiet.

Someone notices this anomaly and curiously approaches, then exclaims, "Hey, Wang Dongcheng, why haven't you sold yet? It's almost closing time!"

Not selling before the market closes means leaving an overnight position, which entails some uncontrollable risks. If the stock experiences any unexpected news after hours, a significant gap up or down the next day could lead to substantial losses, which most traders cannot afford.

Therefore, it's generally recommended not to hold overnight positions. Hearing that Wang Dongcheng still hasn't sold, everyone rushes over to see what's going on.

Chen Wei, however, doesn't join them. Instead, he looks at the stock screen of casi. With less than five minutes left until closing, the stock is fluctuating violently between 4.50 and 4.70.

Clearly, the bearish trader isn't going to give up easily and is attempting a final resistance.

With less than two minutes left, someone urges Wang Dongcheng to sell, reminding him that he has already made over eight thousand and it's time to get out, but Wang Dongcheng remains silent.

Unable to hold back his frustration, someone comments, "What else is there to think about? Just greedy! He probably hopes for another limit up, but now that it's dropped back to 4.50, he's even less inclined to sell, hoping for a gap up tomorrow. Let's just wish him luck."

Wang Dongcheng and Zhou Yi entered the company at the same time. While Zhou Yi has performed better than Wang Dongcheng, he has a slightly arrogant personality, while Wang Dongcheng is more self-centered.

Although there isn't much conflict between them, their relationship isn't particularly good. Originally, Zhou Yi looked down on Wang Dongcheng a bit, but today Wang Dongcheng's stroke of luck made more money than him, which made Zhou Yi feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't say anything good about it.

Chen Wei exchanges a smile with Zheng Junpeng, both shaking their heads without saying much more.

At four o'clock, the market closes, and Wang Dongcheng still hasn't sold, leaving an overnight position.

Others don't say much and leave shaking their heads.

Wang Dongcheng isn't popular in the company, and people still remember that he was the one who grabbed the price first at casi today, so everyone hopes the stock will gap down tomorrow and make him lose.

Zhao Yang comes over again, wearing a stern expression. He walks up to Wang Dongcheng and asks in a deep voice, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to sell? It already went up to 4.90, why haven't you sold yet? What are you waiting for?"

"I think the stock will gap up tomorrow!" Wang Dongcheng says expressionlessly.

Zhao Yang is infuriated but suppresses his anger, saying, "Do you think it will gap up just because you want it to? I've emphasized it so many times: no overnight positions! What's the matter? Do my words mean nothing to you?"

Wang Dongcheng remains silent.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yang says, "This is the last time! If you leave an overnight position again next time, then you can get out of here!"

After saying this, Zhao Yang leaves angrily.

Others all look somewhat pleased with the situation.

Chen Wei checks the system interface and finds that he has gained another fourteen points of experience, totaling twenty-nine points. However, he still feels a bit regretful. He deliberately called everyone after activating the skill, hoping to bring more people into the market so that he could gain more experience when they made money. However, everyone was busy playing games or reading novels, and only Wang Dongcheng followed him into the market. And then he didn't sell...

Not selling means the money isn't in hand, and the system naturally won't calculate the experience points.

Now, Chen Wei suddenly hopes that casi will gap up tomorrow...

Leaving the company, Chen Wei strolls slowly towards home. He rents a studio apartment for eight hundred yuan a month. As Yunzhou is only a second-tier city, and he's in the CB area, the rent isn't expensive. However, renting is still inconvenient.

His girlfriend, Xu Lili, works in the southern part of the city and rents a place there with others. The two are separated by twenty or thirty kilometers, and even taking public transportation takes over an hour. They can only see each other on weekends, and if something comes up, they might not even have time for that.

Xu Lili has urged him more than once to buy a house and a car as soon as possible.

Before, Chen Wei didn't dare to think about buying a house. The housing prices in Yunzhou are not cheap, especially in the downtown area, where a decent place costs four or five million, or even more. A down payment alone would be tens of thousands of dollars, which Chen Wei couldn't afford.

But now it's different!

He earned sixty-five thousand dollars in three days, with a commission of three hundred thousand yuan in hand!

If he can make another thirty or fifty thousand dollars this month, he'll be able to get a down payment!

It seems that buying a house can be considered now.
