Reborn veteran, lying flat since high school

Tang Yisheng woke up at 10:20 a.m.

Young people are physically strong, and even if their biological clock has been disrupted for more than half a month, two deep sleeps are enough to completely clear it up and restore them to their original state.

I took a cold shower in the west bathroom, changed into a round-neck pure cotton white T-shirt, distressed German army green shorts, and hand-sewn 4cm thick-soled leather sandals.

Relaxed, simple, cool, and understatedly luxurious.

This set was a gift Tang Yisheng gave himself to celebrate the day he received his first prize money.

I only picked up the goods the evening before I set off, and today is the first time I'm wearing them.

It looks great on and is very comfortable.

Especially the feel of walking on clouds in the thick-soled leather sandals, which is definitely worth its £26 price tag.

Tang Yisheng has always loved the lightness of walking on water.

Unfortunately, sandals in China today generally lack this design concept.

Fortunately, London lives up to its current reputation, and bespoke shoe stores offer such materials.

Zhang Lei wasn't in the courtyard, and neither was Zhang Xu.

Tang Yisheng strolled to the pedestrian street, crossed the moat bridge to the west, and arrived at the Bank of China opposite Baotu Spring.

There is actually a Bank of China branch on Quancheng Road Pedestrian Street, but Tang Yisheng had just woken up and wanted to stretch his body a little and soak up some sun.

As the saying goes, more sunshine keeps insects away.

Young people only like to use fans, drink cold drinks, and turn on air conditioning. They'll regret it when they reach middle age.

A huge screen hangs on the right wall of the bank lobby.

The exchange rate for the US dollar is marked, while the exchange rates for the Japanese yen, British pound, etc., are displayed on a scrolling basis.

Tang Yisheng glanced at it for a while and confirmed that the exchange rate of pounds to yuan today was 14.731 yuan.

It was much higher than the 1:13 ratio I had expected.

If that's the case, there's no need to wait and see.

In addition to the prize money for the individual champion, the International Memory Championships also offer record-breaking prizes and commitment letter signing bonuses.

Tang Yisheng signed three commitment letters and was awarded the title of "World Memory Master" at the 1999 International Memory Championships.

The prize money has accumulated to over £100,000.

At the same time Tang Yisheng won the award, he received offers of service from more than a dozen agents from financial institutions.

In London, any event involving prize money is followed up by various organizations in advance, and then they "besiege" the winners after the results are announced.

They went to great lengths and used all sorts of tricks to achieve their goals.

Faced with offers from more than a dozen agencies, including Japanese agents and Hong Kong brokers, Tang Yisheng ultimately chose FXCM, a new institution based in the UK.

Tang Yisheng already had some understanding of the dot-com bubble in London. If he wanted to make money from the dot-com bubble in Europe and the United States, he could only do so through brokers in international financial centers or international trading platforms.

FXCM's agents are very dedicated.

The level of service awareness here is worlds apart from what it is in China today.

Moreover, FXCM's range of services and additional services are well-suited to Tang Yisheng from China.

In 1999, the country had not yet fully opened up channels for individuals to directly participate in the foreign exchange and stock markets.

FXCM can help Tang Yisheng ensure his bonus is credited to his account and expedite the verification of his identity and financial documents.

Furthermore, FXCM is regulated by multiple countries, including the UK's FCA and Australia's ASIC, ensuring the segregation of funds and guaranteeing its security and convenience.

Tang Yisheng invested the exact sum of £100,000 without hesitation.

The remaining portion was brought back by Tang Yisheng, who planned to exchange it at a suitable time.

After redeeming the money, I certainly won't let the numbers just sit in my cardholder's pocket.

The idea that money in the bank is "for your own protection" is a joke.

Tang Yisheng will definitely continue to adjust his financial structure. Apart from pocket money and emergency funds, most of his money will be invested in the domestic stock market.

Although the risk factor of the capital allocation seems high, Tang Yisheng is a reborn person, so the word "risk" is equivalent to nothing.

Now, we're right in the lead-up to the major market rally of May 519th, and the situation can only be described in four words: great potential.

Tang Yisheng queued up to submit his foreign exchange application at the counter, but the teller called the manager over and took him to VIP room number 5 to process the transaction.

By the time I finished the banking business, it was already noon, and lunchtime was almost over.

There's a meeting in the evening.

Yesterday, I made plans with Fatty and Wang Min to go to Lao Ma's barbecue on Huimin Street. Tang Yisheng also planned to bring Zhang Lei along so that the two girls from Class 8 of the Arts Department could get to know each other beforehand.

So, I just grab a quick bite at lunchtime, no need to make a big fuss.

What should we eat?

Tang Yisheng smacked his lips twice and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a semi-permanent fast food stall on Bangpeng Street. The stall owner should still be a skinny man in his thirties.

That guy rode an extended tricycle, setting up a stall on the street during the day and going to the south end of Furong Street at night to do business next to the pedestrian street.

There are various stir-fries and crispy pot dishes.

It seems that he worked there until the year of the Olympics before renting a place and opening a Shandong cuisine restaurant.

The Shandong cuisine restaurant eventually became a popular hole-in-the-wall eatery.

Tang Yisheng strolled over, which took less than ten minutes, very convenient.

Just do it! That's it!

Although Tang Yisheng's net worth is already 300,000 RMB and is still rising, he lives his own life, not performs for others.

My own comfort is the most important thing.

Students during summer vacation, especially young people who are basically financially independent, are most proud of being able to do whatever they want and do whatever they want.

If I want to eat at a roadside stall, I'll never go to a restaurant.

The west entrance of the pedestrian street was bustling with traffic. Tang Yisheng walked across the "O"-shaped pedestrian overpass to the pedestrian street.

This pedestrian bridge has a unique, round shape, and is said to be the largest of its kind in China.

Because of the Sanlian Home Appliance City in Ximen, it is also called Sanlianqiao.

Let's just take it one step at a time, it'll be demolished soon because of the expansion of Quancheng Road.

If I remember correctly, it's this year.

Tang Yisheng's memory was correct; the stall was indeed there.

A serving of eggplant stir-fried with pork costs four yuan, and each steamed bun is 25 cents and they're all very substantial.

Whether it was psychological or the ingredients were truly natural, the ordinary eggplant stir-fried with meat was so delicious that Tang Yisheng almost bit his tongue.

The dishes were so delicious that Tang Yisheng didn't distribute them evenly for a moment.

The third steamed bun was almost half left, but the vegetables were all gone.

Tang Yisheng simply broke the steamed bun in half and pressed it against the bottom of the plate to scrape off the soup.

"Why are you being so frugal? Want another piece of braised pork? Are you short of money?"

The stall owner, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, approached Tang Yisheng with a smile.

A piece of braised pork costs two yuan; every extra serving sold is a bonus.

As business people, they are best able to exploit the youth demographic, taking advantage of their shyness to achieve high profits and high sales volume.

This is his usual tactic, which has always been successful.

"Boss, your cooking is great, the dishes are delicious, but the portions are too small. One plate isn't even enough for one eggplant, is it? If it's like this again, I won't come to your place to eat next time, it's not worth it."

An average 1 or 2-year-old boy would be shy and embarrassed to wipe the plate with a steamed bun. But after hearing the stall owner's teasing, he would probably "pretend to be rich" and buy a piece of braised pork for one or two yuan or a roll of fried dough for one yuan and two mao.

But Tang Yisheng, 42, would not.

He had already learned how to support himself.

Even without hundreds of thousands of dollars on him, Tang Yisheng wouldn't have gotten involved.

Life is tough, infighting is unacceptable, and it's even less likely to suffer in silence just to save face.

Especially when dealing with dishonest small vendors, you have to fight for every penny and be ready to take a stand.

If you don't show some strength, how will the other party know that you're not someone to be trifled with?

As the saying goes, people always pick on the softest persimmons.

Tang Yisheng has long since stopped being a pushover.

In terms of shamelessness, he was on par with Niu Gulu.
