Yang Fei's first trip to New York was after studying at Harvard for more than two months.

He was not here to travel or was invited to a party.

An extracurricular research activity organized by the school brought all the students in the first class to New York.

This activity is called "Knowing the New York Stock Exchange".

As a student at Harvard Business School, I will be a big business in the future and learn basic knowledge such as supply and demand relationships, economic data, macroeconomics, microeconomics, and corporate financial reports in school. But how practical will this knowledge have in the future work?

The New York Stock Exchange can teach you the most practical trading skills and teach you how to communicate with others.

Yang Fei heard that many Harvard University students come to the New York Stock Exchange to be interns during the summer vacation.

Many students are proud to be working on the New York Stock Exchange after graduation.

If you can accept a full-time job from the New York Stock Exchange, you will be as lucky as winning a grand prize.

The United States is in a turbulent economy and the unemployment rate remains high, so many college students have difficulty finding jobs after graduation.

Of course, Harvard Business School students don’t have to worry about their work.

"In the era without the Internet, traders need to observe the performance of other traders from the trading hall to judge whether there is news about a stock or sector and whether it will have an impact on trading."

"Then the trader combines the fragmented information he sees and hears, and makes a judgment on a transaction."

"This is a kind of insight. If someone is born with this ability, it is very likely to succeed."

The one who gave lectures to Yang Fei and the others was an old trader on the exchange.

The man's name is Jaton. He graduated from the School of Management at Boston University. After graduating from university, he only wanted to stay in New York for three years, and then went home to live with his family. As a result, he stayed for thirty-five years.

"You are all excellent graduate students, at least better than me. I couldn't get into Harvard University back then. So, each of you is a mountain that I can't reach." Jaton spoke humorously and was good at expressing himself.

"I believe you have all heard of the word A personality. Can anyone tell me what a type A personality is?"

Yang Fei was about to raise his hand, but Thomas had already answered loudly.

"When Chinese scholars, Friedman and others studied heart disease, they divided human personality into two categories: type a and type b. Type a personality is more enterprising, aggressive, self-confidence, sense of accomplishment, and easy to be nervous. Type a personality is always willing to engage in high-intensity competitive activities, constantly driving themselves to do the most things in the shortest time, and attack other people or other things that hinder their efforts. Type b personality is loose, without fighting with the world, and calm in everything."

Jaton smiled: "This classmate must have seen the definition. The most amazing thing about Harvard college students is to memorize the definition."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Jaton said: "I like A-type personality, why? Because, people with A-type personality are ambitious, competitive, and have great expectations for themselves; in addition, they will demand themselves and achieve their goals at any cost; and in addition, they use career success as a standard for evaluating the value of life; they are full of work schedules and try to do a lot of work in very little time; they are busy all day long, nervous, don't know how to relax themselves, and are extremely reluctant to spend time on daily trivial matters."

He emphasized his tone and said loudly: "Only people with type A personality can be more likely to succeed! No matter which field you work in the future, I can say with certainty that among you, those with type A personality, can definitely achieve greater success!"

Thomas asked, "Mr. Jaton, how do you test what kind of personality you have?"

Jaton thought for a while and said, "Let me give you a few examples, and you can compare yourself. See which personality do you belong to?"

Everyone listened carefully and wanted to test it for themselves.

Jaton said: "Have you moved towards the goals you set?"

Yang Fei thought to himself, I have it.

"Do you want to be recognized by others?"

Yang Fei hesitated for a moment and chose the affirmative answer.

"Are you used to the habit of moving, walking, and eating quickly?"

Yang Fei thought about it and said that he was eating and walking faster and faster now.

"Are you a realist?"

Yang Fei nodded affirmatively.

"Do you always feel time-consuming and work is efficient?"

Yang Fei smiled and was hit again.

"Do you do a lot of things and care about a wide range of things?"

Yang Fei touched his nose and smiled.

"Are you arrogant and monopolistic?"

oh?

Yang Fei thought that this one was inconsistent.

"Do you don't know how to appreciate nature and the singing of birds and fragrance of flowers? When you rest, you will feel uneasy and feel guilty?"

Yang Fei laughed, he felt that he was half of it, of course the second half.

"Are you competitive?"

Yang Fei has a strong competitive spirit.

"Have you counted your life as numbers?"

Uh? This is hard to say.

Yang Fei scored seven and a half questions in ten.

Is this considered a type A personality?

In the southernmost part of Manhattan Island in New York City, it only takes half a minute to hike from Trinity Church to Washington Statue. In the process, if tourists look right, they will find a house number "11 Wall Street", which is the heart of Wall Street.

Yang Fei and others, led by Jetton, visited the New York Stock Exchange.

In the New York Stock Exchange building, there is a carefully framed agreement, which is the "Sycamore Tree Agreement".

The history of the New York Stock Exchange is not as long as Wall Street, but it is still over 200 years old.

At 9:30 am New York time, the opening clock rang here on time, and the three major stock indexes that affected global investors, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq Composite Index, and the S&P 500 Index, began to fluctuate.

"The opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange will not wait for anyone. Even if the president comes to ring the bell, if it doesn't come at 9:30, the opening bell will still be ringed on time."

Jaton said funnyly: "We traders are the most noble people in the world. Even if we come from politicians, business giants, and entertainment stars, we will not look at them even if we pass by them, because there is only one thing in our eyes, that is trading!"

When Yang Fei heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

The New York Stock Exchange is not complicated. From the terrain, the trading hall can be divided into two parts: trading desk and trading kiosk.

The trading desk is located in the central area of ​​the hall, in a horseshoe-shaped manner, and is used by designated market makers on the New York Stock Exchange.

The trading booth is a desk arranged along the lobby for brokers in the venue.

Designated market makers and brokers are both called traders.

Yang Fei remembers that Qian Weihao from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is here to be a trader. Oh, no, he is an intern, he is not a formal trader.

Looking around, I saw a busy scene in the hall, with people everywhere, where can I find Qian Weihao?

Just as Yang Fei turned around and followed the army, he suddenly heard someone roaring: "Are you a pig's brain? You can't do such a simple thing well! I ask you to buy it! Buy it! Why don't you buy it? How much money you have lost to me, you can't afford it in your life!"

Yang Fei didn't want to be too much, so he glanced at it casually and saw that the person being scolded was Qian Weihao!

Qian Weihao was like a primary school student who did something wrong, standing respectfully in front of a white rich man, his face turned red, and he kept apologizing and explaining.

Yang Fei said to Thomas: "I'll go over and take a look, you guys go first."

Thomas said: "Don't meddle in other people's business, this is the New York Stock Exchange!"

Yang Fei said lightly: "That person is my friend!"
Chapter completed!
