In fact, during this period, the furniture available on the market was not only old in style, but also in very limited varieties. When most families needed to replace new furniture, they would find carpenters to build it.
Like the Sun family, the entire set of furniture is custom-made in a furniture factory. Although it is rare, it is not too out of the ordinary.
Through Master Hou, Sun Dahai found a state-owned furniture factory with strong technical force in the suburbs of the capital. He and several masters there studied for several days and made a set of modern-style solid wood furniture samples.
Sun Dahai was very satisfied with these furniture samples. So, under his instigation, all the furniture for the whole family became hand-made and customized versions of solid wood. The solid wood sofa he "designed" was loved by everyone.
All rooms are available.
Sun Dahai is still very filial. After the samples of the new furniture came out, he went to Mr. Huang and asked him to try it out. Because the new furniture is definitely much more comfortable than the old furniture.
Sure enough, Mr. Huang liked this set of furniture very much. Through the Government Affairs Bureau, he ordered a complete set for the house he was renovating.
In this way, the complete set of improved modern Chinese-style furniture "designed" by Sun Dahai quickly spread among the homes of veteran cadres in the capital through the Government Affairs Administration.
Many veteran cadres actually have the mentality of an old naughty child. In an era when product varieties were scarce and homogeneity was very serious, if someone else had new and good things, they would have them themselves.
As a result, the Office Affairs Bureau began to send orders to furniture factories one by one.
Soon, the rest station of the Capital Military Region also found out. As a result, more orders were placed, and the furniture factory's production tasks were soon piled up until the second half of next year.
The director of the furniture factory, who was in pain and happiness, was named Wang Xiaozhe. He was young, a second-generation official with a gilded background, and was very economical and communicative.
He persuaded the secretary of the furniture factory, and the two of them went to the door in person, refunded all the cost of custom-made furniture by the Sun family, and gave Sun Dahai a certificate of award and a design fee of 50 yuan.
It is said that whether to release this "huge sum of money" is still an issue that will be discussed and voted on at the furniture factory. With the support of Wang Xiaozhe and the secretary, the money was finally approved against all objections.
Sun Dahai was speechless. He looked at the five brand-new ten-yuan bills in his hand and cried silently in his heart.
…
This was the first time that Qiao Wanting entered the right room. She looked left and right, and sat on the Chinese sofa curiously.
"Sister Wanting, what do you think of this sofa? Is it comfortable?"
"It's very comfortable. This is the set of furniture that Sister Feifei said you designed, right?"
"How old am I? I don't know how to design anything! I just tell the masters at the furniture factory what kind of furniture I want, and the rest is made by others."
When Sun Dahai heard the word "design", he immediately painfully thought of the fifty yuan design fee, and he quickly denied it.
"That's what you thought of, otherwise why would I pay you the design fee!"
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
Girl Qiao, do you know that you will soon have no friends like this?
Sun Dahai was complaining in his heart, rambling in random directions, and talking about him in left and right directions.
Fortunately, Qiao Wanting was not here to talk about furniture. She soon got back to business and talked about the ongoing investment.
"Little boss, the market conditions in these two trading days are so exciting!
You were right. The U.S. stock market fell sharply on the night of the 24th. The Dow Jones Index fell by more than 3.42% that day, and the S&P 500 Index also fell by 3.21%, recording the largest daily decline in recent years.
On Friday, affected by the US market, the Xiangjiang stock market gapped and opened lower, and continued to decline throughout the day. The decline accelerated in late trading. The Hang Seng Index fell nearly 3% at the close. Several Britten Public Utilities stocks that we shorted were even more
Leading the market decline, with an average decline of more than 5%.
We calculated that, together with the previous trading day, the stocks we shorted in the past two days fell by an average of 9.1%. We used ten times financial leverage, excluding transaction fees and leverage interest. Our stocks on the Xiangjiang stock market
The income reached 90%, which is nearly 900,000 Hong Kong dollars."
After hearing this, Sun Dahai frowned.
He said: "Did it fall too fast? Are there any special phenomena or rumors in the market?"
"Yesterday, Xing Wenyan said that it seems that there are bookmakers in the market controlling the market. They exaggerate the bad news, sell high and buy low, and increase the trading volume, as if they are washing floating chips."
"Have you made a K-line chart these days? Let me take a look." Sun Dahai said.
"I put it in my schoolbag and put it in Sister Feifei's room when I came here. I'll go get it." Qiao Wanting said and ran out.
In the early 1980s, computers were not yet popular. Although exchanges and securities companies began to use computers to provide trading services, the vast majority of practitioners were still accustomed to hand-drawing K-line charts for technical analysis.
Qiao Wanting came back with her bag. She took out a few pieces of small square graph paper, which is the special graph paper for the Cartesian coordinate system (Rectangular coordinate system), and handed it to Sun Dahai.
Qiao Wanting is indeed a professional, and her K-line charts are very standard. These K-line charts are the recent daily charts of the Hang Seng Index and the stocks they have shorted.
Sun Dahai took a few glances, and then said to Qiao Wanting: "It has fallen too sharply. After the market opens on Monday, if these stocks continue to fall with inertia, all positions will be closed after trading starts in the afternoon."
"Well, I also think it's better to close the position first and lock in the profit. Hey, little boss, you can actually read the K-line chart?"
"What's so difficult about this? When I was in Xiangjiang, didn't you buy me a complete set of textbooks? There was an introduction to K-line charts there. I had already read it." Sun Dahai said, "I am a genius."
Tone.
"Then what happens next?" Qiao Wanting was still a little unconvinced and wanted to test Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai rolled his eyes at her and said without thinking: "Wait, wait for these stocks to cover the gap. If the trading volume cannot be effectively amplified when the gap is covered, then we will enter the market again and go short."
Qiao Wanting lost her temper and continued to report on her work.
"On Friday, the U.S. market opened slightly lower, and the gap was filled during the session, but the trading volume was insufficient, and finally closed with a negative line. The Dow Jones index..., forget it, I will not mention the Dow Jones index, the S&P 500 index was slightly
It fell 0.6%, and the cumulative decline in two days was 3.81%."
With that said, she took out a few more pictures and handed them to Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai still only glanced at it a few times before returning it to Qiao Wanting.
"Little boss, how do we operate the US market?"
"What do you think? How to operate it well?" Sun Dahai asked Qiao Wanting.
"First reduce one-third to half of your position, keep some profits, and then make timely moves based on market reaction."
"Okay. Remember, prepare to cover your position at the lower edge of the gap on Thursday, and set the stop loss position at the upper edge of the gap."
"Little boss, how big do you think this market can be?" Qiao Wanting asked.
"Quote? What quotation?" Sun Dahai didn't understand what Qiao Wanting meant and was stunned.
