In the afternoon, colleagues around Su Butong began to conduct a wave of analysis on which funds and stocks to buy.

Su Butong was not idle either, tinkering with his computer.

Chu Xingyun came here on a business trip and brought him the system installation disk of the RS system (abbreviation of Red Star).

The company currently uses Apple Macintosh brand machines, but Su Butong found them uncomfortable to use, so he started DIYing and changing the computer system.

It can be said that Su Butong is not unfamiliar with disks. When he was in elementary school, computers were still called microcomputers, also called 386, 486, 586, and they were still products of high school. When going to microcomputer classes, you need to bring your own plastic bags to put on your feet. Yes.

The parents of some classmates also use sewing machines to make homemade fabric shoe covers for them.

Although the elementary school he attended was the best in the city at the time, computer teachers were extremely scarce. Only one teacher was assigned to take care of the computer room during the class schedule. Once they started the computer class, they were basically left to read and tinker.

Their computers at that time did not have a win system installed, and they did not even have a mouse. There was only a solitary DOS system there.

Yes, it's the DOS that requires typing commands.

So he learned the most basic commands such as DIR, COPY, and DEL just for fun.

In computer classes at that time, you could play games while the teacher wasn't paying attention.

The boys in the class got the installation disk of the DOS version of Super Mario from somewhere.

Plug it into the disk reader, then enter star or copy into the computer to play.

However, female classmates often report them, boys who love to play games, and often make them stand outside the computer classroom.

Now that I think about it, my childhood is really gone forever. Because those happy days are gone forever.

Su Butong felt that he was a second-generation human being and suddenly became fond of reminiscing.

Maybe this is some kind of maturity?

Although he prefers to call this hypocrisy.

After the system disk was installed, a welcome image appeared on the machine that was very different from the Macintosh system. A Chinese dragon broke through the clouds, accompanied by layers of lightning.

It looked in front of the screen and patted the screen with one paw.

Fight the dragon!

Zhanlong’s Chinese LOGO appears in the center of the screen.

"Wele to Red star."

Su Butong subconsciously wanted to move the mouse, only to find that the company's computers did not come with a mouse.

He went to the general affairs office to get a mouse, but was told that Lin Muyu's signature was required for extra items.

Taking the application form, he knocked on Lin Muyu's door.

"Mr. Lin." Lin Muyu's office has a glass window. Su Butong did a complete show and said after entering the door.

Lin Muyu was watching the afternoon market, and when he saw him coming, he gave Su Butong a blank look.

"There is a teacup on the table." Lin Muyu nodded with his chin.

"I'm not thirsty." Subudong said.

"But I'm thirsty! Go get me a cup of coffee." Lin Muyu found a stock that performed well and recorded it casually.

"Always drinking coffee is not good for your skin." Su Butong didn't want to serve Lin Muyu, so he found an excuse to shirk it.

Lin Muyu said: "You must understand your current position clearly, and you must obey my arrangements before announcing your true identity to everyone. If you are a graduate who has just joined the company, do you dare to talk to the company boss like this?"

"

"Okay, I'll do it." Su Butong gritted his teeth. The little goblin was sure that this was intentional: "Sign my name first." He put the application form in front of Lin Muyu.

"Do you need a mouse?" Lin Muyu saw this application for Danle: "What do you need this for? Can't you use a keyboard?"

"I'm not used to it." It's not impossible to use the keyboard, but the functions of the RS system can be used more quickly with the mouse.

"Bring me the coffee and I'll sign it." The two were fighting wits and courage. Didn't Lin Muyu understand Su Butong? As long as he signed his name, he would definitely run away with the order without taking it back.

Helplessly, for the sake of the mouse, Su Butong had no choice but to sacrifice his labor to pour a cup of coffee, and brought it to Lin Muyu's office amidst the envious eyes of all his male colleagues.

"That's so good." Lin Muyu gave Su Butong a wink. "I'll sign the receipt for you."

"I am leaving."

"Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

"I work overtime at night."

"Mr. Su really works tirelessly for his company. Then I'm going to have dinner with my friends."

"Male or female?"

"you guess?"

"I don't want to guess, it's too nerve-wracking." Su Butong left Lin Muyu's office as quickly as possible. Lin Muyu was smiling, and it was quite fun to tease Su Butong.

She took a sip of the coffee poured by her lover and felt particularly sunny.

He made a call to Kyle: "Kyle, pay attention to Xingye Chemical."

"Okay." Kyle always felt that Mr. Lin was speaking more gently than usual. Is it his imagination?

After getting the mouse, Su Butong installed the driver and started using F-Excel.

As the Red Star system bundled software launched by Zhanlong, this FE spreadsheet software allows users to customize the interface, including fonts, text attributes and cell styles; it can automatically calculate values, and when the values ​​change, the software automatically recalculates; and can create

database.

Subudong now needs to create a database.

volume (trading volume), open (opening price), high (highest price), low (lowest price), close (closing price)

Then manually import data from the past month.

By the time I finished doing this, it was already 6 p.m.

The average off-duty time in Xiangjiang is 6 o'clock, so some colleagues in HR and logistics departments have begun to leave the company one after another.

But the investment department will leave later and stay until 10-11 o'clock.

They will have a basic prediction of tomorrow's market.

Su Butong was used to working overtime. After all, at Zhanlong, the company was his home. He could just go upstairs and lie down at any time. It was also common to make the bed directly in the office.

But for Emily, who had just graduated, it was a kind of torture.

The little girl kept looking up at the time and was doing the report absentmindedly.

Su Butong walked up to her and asked, "Teach you a quick way to report."

"Don't you know how to make reports?" Emily's eyes widened.

"No, but the report you want to make is actually the company's income statement." Su Butong said.

He helped Emily install F-Excel. Wang Jiang figured out that this software was a black technology and was naturally adapted to Macintosh. However, it was not easy to copy it from the installation disk, so Su Butong copied it from his own computer.

Ordered a portion.

"You see, this software is actually very simple to use."

Su Butong entered the total operating income, total cost, revenue income, operating profit, total profit, and net profit, and divided them into four columns and numbered them.

"You can subdivide the items among these major items, and enter the previous cumulative figures and the current figures respectively, and the software will help you calculate it."

Subudong typed in a few numbers and typed in the summation function, and the software immediately performed calculations.

"The summation function is =SUM, and others include: interest rate, number of periods, payment, type, etc..." Subudong carefully helped Emily write on the paper beside her.

"So with this software, your workload will be reduced a lot."

"Thank you...but I don't know how to use it, can you help me?" Emily said. Tony was too high on her computer skills, and it was such an unfamiliar computer software.

Su Butong slapped his forehead. He wanted to help, but he felt that he could not let her rely too much on others and form a dependence mentality, so he said: "If you can't learn such a simple thing, why are you here? What can't you do?

You can ask me, but I'm afraid I can't help you with this, and I have a lot of things to do myself."

"Oh." The little girl started typing on the computer bit by bit with tears in her eyes. She pouted, thinking that this was not my job, it was forced on me by Kyle.

In the afternoon, Lin Muyu asked Zhao Hongchen to send some of the company's recent profit data to Su Butong, with the excuse that it was computer system maintenance. Now basically no one noticed that what Su Butong had in his hands was the latest profit data for the past year.

All company reports, business strategies, business intentions, decision-making materials, financial arrangements, meeting minutes, etc.

Su Butong looked through it carefully, and from time to time wrote encrypted words that only he could understand in his little notebook.

Recently, Su Butong has been paying attention to the data of the U.S. stock market over the past year during filming breaks. He found that on July 1, 1986, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a new all-time high of 1903.54 points, which was the highest since the beginning of that year.

A record high for the fourth time.

A week later, on July 7, the Dow Jones fell more points in one day than it had ever before.

In 1986, the U.S. stock market was experiencing certain fluctuations. For example, on March 21, the Dow Jones fell 35.68 points, or nearly 2%. Most of the decline occurred in the last few minutes of trading, and the decline that day was the fourth time in market history.

Worst fall ever.

It seems that the stock market has long been far away from rational control.

Many financial experts have spoken out through the media. They believe that the sharp declines and surges in the stock market are due to the inherent connection between derivatives and stock market fluctuations, and this phenomenon cannot be considered abnormal.

These financial experts are often employed by Wall Street and serve as consultants to one or more companies.

But they also cautioned: "Some trading actions that used to take 10 days to complete now only take 10 minutes. You can't understand that people treat stocks as commodities."

This conclusion that there is nothing abnormal about the stock market is actually not scary. What is scary is that Wall Street has not discovered some amazing but easily ignored laws.
Chapter completed!
