Chapter 594 9 Dragon Warehouse Stock
After Lu Ye, Shu Wen and the other two left, it was almost lunchtime at the exchange.
Shen Chaoyi sat at her new desk, extremely happy.
"Ah, Chaoyi, you are so lucky today. The manager just told us to keep working hard and learn from you."
"Congratulations, you finally have your own workstation."
A female trader dressed similarly to Shen Chaoyi walked over to Shen Chaoyi's new workstation just as the lunch bell rang.
Congratulations to Shen Chaoyi.
"Thank you." Shen Chaoyi responded happily.
In their line of work, the hierarchy is very cruel.
Traders like them who do not have fixed workstations may be fired at any time if they fail to meet their performance targets, and the crisis of survival is huge.
But it is different for traders who have a fixed workstation. Although such traders do not earn as much as those well-known traders, they can also gain more mid- and low-level customers by virtue of their own exclusive trading computers.
It can be said that only by having a fixed workstation can one gain a firm foothold in this industry.
"I'll treat you all to a midnight snack tonight, please come and have fun." Shen Chaoyi said to everyone happily.
It is a tradition here that those who get a fixed workstation treat each other, and Shen Chaoyi naturally will not break this tradition.
But compared with her smugness, there were a few people in this group who felt very jealous.
"Tsk! Why are you so proud? It's just a coincidence that you met a big client. It could be done by anyone else." Someone whispered sourly.

Inside a restaurant in Central.
Lu Ye and the other two sat at the dining table, enjoying the distinctive chicken soup wonton noodles.
Su Yunjie ate the rice in big mouthfuls. One bowl was not enough for him, so he ordered another bowl of barbecued pork rice.
"In just a short while this morning, one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars was gone. This is not stock trading, it's simply burning money!" said Su Yunjie.
"That's not how you calculate the account. The money was simply converted into stocks. It will turn into money again after it's sold."
Lu Ye understood what Su Yunjie was worried about.
However, Lu Ye, who was absolutely confident about this matter, did not need to worry about losing money in this stock trading.
The only thing he needs to pay attention to is the timing of selling the stocks. If he can withdraw before the capital war behind Shipping King Bao and Hutchison Whampoa ends, there will be no risk at all.
Of course, the sooner he completes the position building before that, the greater his profit will be.
Shu Wen ate the wonton noodles in the bowl slowly and carefully.
Lu Ye's actions today can be described as clear-headed and logical.
He doesn't look like someone who is investing in stocks for the first time at all.
Moreover, even the matter of hiring traders was proposed by Lu Ye himself. It was obvious that Lu Ye must have done a lot of homework.
This made Shu Wen feel a little relieved.
But what Shu Wen couldn't understand was that Lu Ye just casually looked at the stock market for a while.
After that, I locked in on the Hutchison Whampoa stock.
Although Lu Ye said he was testing the waters, he started with 10,000 shares, which was a bit too much.
Lu Ye is not from Hong Kong and may not know much about Hutchison Whampoa.
However, as the daughter of the Shu Group, Shu Wen is quite familiar with the Wharf Group.
Hutchison Whampoa's main business is terminal business.
Due to the huge impact of the oil crisis, the entire maritime transportation industry suffered a huge blow.
It is difficult to run a shipping company, and terminal business is naturally also very difficult.
In Shu Wen's opinion, it was not a wise move for Lu Ye to buy Hutchison Whampoa shares at this time.
Thinking of this, Shu Wen looked up at Lu Ye and asked doubtfully, "Lu Ye, are you optimistic about Wharf Holdings' stock, or do you just want to test the waters? Do you know anything about Wharf Holdings?"
"I guess I have some understanding of it." Lu Ye replied.
"Then you know that their direct sales business has been hit hard by the oil crisis in recent years. Although there's no negative news about Wharf Holdings right now, it will definitely take them more than a day or two to recover."
"I don't think it's a wise choice for you to hoard a large amount of their stocks at this time." Shu Wen expressed her concerns.
In fact, Shu Wen also shared the same general idea and focused her attention on Hutchison Whampoa's main business segment.
However, they completely overlooked the fact that the most valuable thing about Hutchison Whampoa, a century-old enterprise, is actually the land they have accumulated.
Lu Ye put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
Then he looked at Shu Wen and said, "Let me ask you a question."
"Which industry do you think will develop fastest in Hong Kong in the next ten or even twenty years?"
Shu Wen was stunned by Lu Ye's sudden question.
Which industry will develop fastest in the future?
Faced with this question, Shu Wen fell into deep thought.
Hong Kong, as a port city and free trade center, relied mainly on re-export trade for its economic development before the 70s.
In the 50s, as the United States manipulated the United Nations to impose a trade embargo and blockade on China, Hong Kong's re-export trade was also greatly affected.
Against this backdrop, Hong Kong is forced to find a new way out.
It also coincides with the industrial restructuring of some Western countries, which are preparing to transfer labor-intensive industries to developing countries.
As a major transportation hub, with a large population base and being a British colony, Hong Kong became the most ideal transfer destination for these countries.
Hong Kong also gained the opportunity to transform into a manufacturing industry.
Since the 50s, the export value of Hong Kong's local industrial products has continued to rise. Up to now, the proportion of manufacturing in the local GDP has reached more than 35.0%.
It has become one of the pillars of Hong Kong's economy.
And with the rapid development of finance, insurance, real estate, and commercial services.
Hong Kong's economy has now begun to develop towards diversification.
Shu Wen had learned all of this when she was in school.
However, Shu Wen really didn't know how to answer the question of the direction of Hong Kong's economic development in the next ten or twenty years.
After much thought, Shu Wen felt that based on Hong Kong's current policies, the financial industry was the industry most likely to flourish in the future.
"I think it should be the financial industry," Shu Wen replied.
"Oh? Tell me what you think."
After listening to Shu Wen's answer, Lu Ye said with interest.
"Hong Kong's first major economic transformation was the shift from entrepot trade to manufacturing. During this process, Hong Kong has accumulated a large number of manufacturing companies."
"We are currently in the midst of this second transformation. The more businesses there are, the greater the demand for financial services. Therefore, in the next ten years, Hong Kong's financial sector will undoubtedly be the fastest-growing sector."
Lu Ye nodded.
Shu Wen’s analysis is very correct.
But as a rich girl, Shu Wen overlooked some things.
That is the most urgent need that people need to improve: housing!
