Chapter 1: Fear of being close to home (new book uploaded, welcome to collect.)
Yicheng City, Linghu Park.
In early autumn, the breeze is gentle, the weather is no longer so hot, and the sun shines on the ground through the leaves; the lotus flowers in the lake have passed their flowering period, and some of them have begun to wither, looking quite bleak.
Not far away, under the pavilion, two old men in white shirts and black trousers were playing chess comfortably. The old man stared at the chessboard with his brows furrowed.
The other one leisurely picked up the glass teacup at hand and looked at his opponent with a smile.
At the other end of the pavilion, several women who looked like aunts were having a show.
"In order to save Li Lang from his home, who would have expected that he would win the first prize on the yellow list."
"The first prize in the ranking is wearing a red robe and a cap with palace flowers. It's so fresh."
Tan Jincheng has been sitting here for a long time and listened to several Huangmei operas.
Not to mention, the pleasant Huangmei tune and the pure local accent made me feel a lot calmer.
Today is September 27, 2004, the fourteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Tan Jincheng, who had been away from his hometown for 14 months, was afraid to go home and face his parents.
This is especially true for the so-called fear of being close to home~
14 months, but for the reborn Tan Jincheng, it is far more than this time.
Since changes in his family in 2019, coupled with the recurrence of special events, Tan Jincheng has never set foot on this land again. Counting the time, he has not returned to his hometown for more than six years.
A year ago, Tan Jincheng was unexpectedly reborn from 2023 to 2003 due to a hangover.
Similar to the movie "18 Again", Tan Jincheng returns from a 38-year-old middle-aged man to an 18-year-old boy.
What was it like to go back 20 years ago?
At the moment, it is difficult for Tan Jincheng to answer this question.
Although it is difficult to understand; however, once it comes, let's make peace with it.
The time of rebirth did not change Tan Jincheng's original life trajectory when he was 18 years old; naturally, he and his best friend Zhang Xupeng boarded the luxury cruise ship that docked at a mainland port for the first time and became an ocean-going crew member.
(PS: The first ocean-going luxury cruise ship seems to have docked in mainland China for the first time in 2005. Some modifications are made here for the sake of plot!)
It is said to be an ocean-going luxury cruise ship, but in fact it is a cruise ship. Waiter, because crew members need to be certified, the two of them did not have certificates when they boarded the ship.
It is understandable that young people yearn for free space and want to see different scenery.
But don’t you know that ocean-going crew is almost one of the hardest jobs in the world.
However, everything has two sides, and there are gains and losses; 14 months of unique work experience, in addition to bringing some changes to Tan Jincheng's personality, also brought him the first pot of gold in his life: 80,000 Yuan Yuan.
With this pot of gold, after landing, Tan Jincheng started a small business in partnership with his best friend who got on the ship together. Then it became stronger and bigger step by step until the two separated amicably.
In 2019, Tan Jincheng, who fully owned his own career, faced the most important change in his life: divorce.
After the divorce, Tan Jincheng naturally lost most of his property and his career came to an abrupt end. After dividing the property with his ex-wife, all that Tan Jincheng had left was a house, a car and 3 million yuan. deposit.
If you honestly keep these 3 million deposits in the bank to earn interest, and then start a small business or find a job, although it is not enough to have financial freedom, you will not have to worry about maintaining daily expenses. .
But Tan Jincheng became obsessed with stock trading again. Anyone who has ever traded in stocks should know what the Big A stock market looks like.
I bought Zhongguo Ping An for 80 yuan. By the time of rebirth, the stock price had dropped to just over 50 yuan. After entering the market, I learned how to do T, and the result was that I only invested 1 million at the beginning, and by the time of rebirth, , already invested 2 million.
In 2023, Tan Jincheng's 2 million has turned into 1.3 million, and the stock continues to fall. Liao Cai has the same mentality and acts like an ostrich. "As long as I don't cut it, it's not a loss."
However, life is far from as rich as before, but there is no problem in maintaining life after four years of decadence. Tan Jincheng, coupled with changes in the economic environment, began a peaceful life.
However, things went against his wishes; God sent him back 20 years ago. Is this preparing him to make up for the regrets of his previous life?
Although Liek’s experience in the past few years was unsightly, no matter what, I did learn a lot of knowledge in the stock market.
Most leeks are like this. Apart from not making any money, it can be said that they know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.
These knowledge points are very useful for reborn people.
Somehow, everything seemed to be arranged.
In this year when he was reborn as an ocean-going sailor, Tan Jincheng naturally had to work harder than in his previous life; if for no other reason than to make the first pot of gold as much as possible.
When he boarded the ship in his previous life, Tan Jincheng received the lowest salary on the cruise ship, which was US$600 per month. Calculated based on the exchange rate at that time, it was about 5,000 yuan.
In 2003, it was considered a relatively high salary, but who would think it was too much money?
After being reborn, Tan Jincheng adjusted his mentality and began to lead an inward life. When he got off the ship, apart from some gifts purchased for himself and his parents, he still had 120,000 yuan on him.
This 120,000 yuan is Tan Jincheng’s starting capital in this life.
I believe that this time, I will do better than before!
In the 20 years from 2003 to 2023, ordinary people have several opportunities to change their destiny.
Just as the country has just joined the WTO, the country has experienced tremendous development. All walks of life have begun to integrate with the world, and demand has begun to surge.
New industries are emerging one after another; Coal Boss, the Internet began to make its fortune at this time, and some Internet giants in the future started by joining the WTO.
It has been said that an ordinary person with an ordinary birth will have three opportunities to change his destiny in his life: "choosing a career when graduating from college, further studies after the age of 30 to 35, and starting a business."
The most important thing about starting a business is that for most ordinary people, with average family backgrounds, no primitive accumulation, and no rich social experience, it is difficult to complete in the first two stages.
And these are inseparable from the general trend of economic development.
Tan Jincheng, whose soul comes from later generations, naturally knows that there are some gifted groups in society, but after all, they are still mostly ordinary people.
If you want to change your destiny, it is nothing more than seizing the opportunities in the changes in the social environment and economic environment.
But for now, let’s go home first.
The phone rang just now. It was a text message from Zhang Xupeng. He had already arrived home. Presumably his parents had also received the news that he was home by now.
This meal of seven wolves seems to be impossible to escape.
"In a few months, my sister will be born soon, right?"
Tan Jincheng stood up slowly, pulled up the suitcase at his feet, and thought to himself; maybe let himself be reborn on a cruise ship Above all, it’s also to avoid changing this little life, right?
