Lao Zhuang: Reborn in 2000, I Was Trading Stocks in Shanghai

"Lao Zhuang" is a growth story about urban rebirth and stock trading in Shanghai in the 2000s. The story begins with the brokerage merger crisis in 2025: 35-year-old Han Xiangzi died in front of his computer after resuming trading all night. When he woke up again, his soul fell into the body of an employee of the same name in the sales department of a fictional securities company in Shanghai in 2000. The protagonist is not a young genius, nor does he have a complete memory of the future. He only has a principal of 10,000 yuan, an incomplete impression of the times, the ability to observe handicaps, and the pain of being repeatedly harvested by the market in his previous life. The main line of the work is not simply "rebirth and buying stocks to get rich", but about a small person at the bottom who was played by bankers in the era of China's capital market from 2000 to 2007, and then understood the operating logic of bankers and stocks, and then followed the rhythm of bankers and stocks to make money, and then saw the collapse of the old bankers, the break of the capital chain, the opening of the stock reform, the entry of institutional funds and the bull market craze. The cool thing is the difference in cognition and times: others are chasing news, while the protagonist looks at the chips; others regard the banker as a god, while the protagonist looks at the capital chain; others regard policies as slogans, while the protagonist looks at how the system will reprice. As his account grew, he continued to move from the retail account room to the large account room, dinner parties, and capital card tables. The map expanded volume by volume, and the risks also increased volume by volume. There is a clear upgrade line at the bottom of the work: the first volume is educated by the banker, the second volume eats meat with the banker, the third volume the old bank collapses, the fourth volume is on the edge of the card table, the fifth volume the system opens, and the sixth volume is prosperous and dangerous. The surface layer is about urban rebirth and stock trading, the middle layer is about the transaction framework and capital situation, and the dark layer is about the changes of the times, human greed and the advancement and retreat, boundaries and cause and effect in traditional philosophy.
