Stock Road Life: Four Financial Friends Breaking into the Stock Market

In the summer of 2015, four graduates from the Department of Finance went their separate ways, but were closely connected through video conferences at nine o'clock every night. In front of the screen are rental houses scattered across Shanghai; on the screen are four young faces, sharing stock codes, workplace confusion and longing for Lujiazui. In the past ten years, Wang Lin's calmness, Zhao Xu's sharpness, Li Hao's steadiness, and Sun Lei's rationality have collided and merged in the rise and fall of the K-line. They grew from financial migrant workers to white-collar workers in Lujiazui, and then jumped from their comfort zones into the torrent of professional investors. The anxiety of chasing ups and downs, the disputes over late-night trading resumption, the suffering of account losses, every setback tests the resilience of friendship. This is not just a story about stock trading. This is a long investment about trust, growth and self-worth made by four ordinary people using ten years of youth as their principal in a market intertwined with desire and fear. What they bought was not only stocks, but also each other's dreams; what they held on to was not only their positions, but also the sincerity that started in school. When the ten-year appointment comes, the account numbers have witnessed miracles. But what is more moving than the wealth curve is the four faces that are still side by side, and the sentence that has never changed: "At nine o'clock tonight, see you at the same place as before." Open this book and witness a brother's life that begins in the stock market and goes beyond wealth.
