Chapter 988 Visiting Shanghai

The two stayed in a hotel and started touring Shanghai the next day.

Starting from the Bund Street, they first entered the shell-shaped Shanghai Grand Theater, which is also one of Shanghai's landmark buildings and is quite beautiful.

In the program preview column, they saw the program that would be performed today.

There are operas, Peking operas, sketches, cross talk, dramas, traditional operas, juggling...

There is almost no free time, and the programs inside are one after another, which is dazzling.

There's a wide variety to satisfy almost anyone's appetite.

Apart from Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang being somewhat familiar with Peking Opera and traditional operas, everything else, whether it is opera or drama, is new to them.

So, they chose an opera to enjoy.

The so-called opera, as the name suggests, is characterized by singing.

The entire plot is advanced through singing, and emotional expressions are also performed through singing. There are no spoken lines throughout the process.

This form of expression is much more difficult than ordinary sketches, so it can also become a highly respected art.

Opera is an imported product. In Dahua, opera is tepid and only a hobby of a small number of people.

While Dahua culture affects all parts of the world, it also absorbs some cultures from other places.

Compared with opera, drama has a much higher degree of freedom.

It includes singing, dancing, and direct dialogue.

With such rich expressions, it is easier to design wonderful storylines. In Dahua, drama is more popular than opera.

Opera, drama, and Peking Opera each have their own merits and preferences.

For Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang, at first glance, this fresh artistic style seems quite good.

After leaving the Grand Theater, they walked along the street and passed a lottery center, where a large number of lottery players gathered.

You only need 2 cents to buy a lottery ticket, and the maximum winning amount reaches 500,000.

For many people who are not good at mathematics, this temptation is too great.

Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang knew that the chance of winning was extremely low, but after visiting Shanghai, they had to buy a lottery ticket as a souvenir.

In other cities, there is no such thing, because Wu Changqing does not allow it.

As for Shanghai, it is a special development zone, and lottery tickets are also allowed to be issued on a limited basis.

Two cents is nothing for Cao Xuelin.

Even though I knew it was hard to win, I didn’t feel like I was being cheated.

When they entered the lottery station, they discovered that there were not only welfare lotteries with prizes drawn every two days, but also instant lotteries with prizes drawn every ten minutes and scratch tickets with instant prizes.

This kind of lottery is more exciting than the welfare lottery because the frequency is so fast and the probability of winning is also high. Although the bonus amount is much lower, many people are obsessed with this kind of instant lottery.

Especially for the 'Exciting Ten', the lottery shop also registers the winning numbers on a table on the wall and creates a curve chart, inducing lottery players to look for patterns on the curve chart.

This is a very underhanded move, because many people are still afraid of risks and dare not gamble. But if you can make them feel that they have mastered the rules and will definitely win, they will lose their minds and bet crazily.

Anyone who has studied probability knows that the appearance of numbers is completely random and has nothing to do with this curve pattern.

Unfortunately, most of these lottery players have never studied probability.

They understand the world by relying on a causal relationship.

Even if there is no causal relationship between two things, they will force a causal relationship to facilitate their understanding of the world.

A number that has not appeared for a long time suddenly appears, and all lottery players can come to the conclusion that "it has not been seen for a long time but it will definitely come out".

Some people who have tried to find patterns in curve charts and failed are lucky because they can understand that looking at curve charts is unreliable.

The really unlucky ones are those who happen to win the lottery by studying the rules. They will feel that they have studied the rules, and become obsessed with them. In the end, they will lose everything.

In the lottery station, Cao Xuelin saw a person suddenly fell into madness and was thrown out by the security guard.

“Shanghai is great, but it’s not everyone’s paradise.”

Li Meiniang said with emotion.

After buying lottery tickets, they passed by the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

This is also one of the places that cannot be missed in Shanghai. The two entered the hall.

On the wall in front of the hall is Dahua's most advanced scientific and technological achievements, electronic display screens.

Use current to control countless small lights to display various numbers.

At the same time, the exchange is also the place with the highest ownership rate of Dahua phones. Almost every trader has a telephone on his desk.

The various noisy sounds made the exchange look more chaotic than a wet market.

"I heard that the daily transaction amount here reaches one million yuan."

Li Meiniang said.

"It's a crazy place, crazier than a casino."

Although Cao Xuelin had never seen a casino, she felt that the casino could not be so lively.

"Do you two beauties want to buy stocks? I can recommend some stocks to you that are guaranteed to make money."

When a stock trader saw Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang's clothes, he knew that their spending power was not weak, so he put down the phone in his hand and came to sell them.

"If it's a guaranteed profit, why don't you buy it yourself?"

Cao Xuelin asked the most direct question.

If you can't make enough money to buy it yourself, you have to work hard to sell it to others and earn some hard money. This kind of person is either a saint or a lunatic.

In this world, saints are too rare, so the other person is either crazy or a liar.

"I also bought it. I didn't buy it before, but the potential of this number one stock is too great, so I also bought it, and I strongly recommend you to buy it..."

The trader dealt with Cao Xuelin's sharp question in an understatement.

If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be able to make a living here.

However, no matter what he said, Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang were indifferent.

They just came to take a look, and have they ever thought about making a fortune from this?

Besides, buying stocks is not like buying lottery tickets. You can do it with just two cents. The investment in buying stocks is often very large.

If there are few purchases, ordinary traders will be too lazy to take care of them.

The current stock trading is not as convenient as it was in the 21st century, and small transactions are not worth the gain.

"Up."

Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted in the hall.

The real-time prices of some stocks were displayed on the display.

One of the bull stocks is constantly moving up, and it looks like the market makers are collecting funds to push it higher.

If you enter the market at this time, you will most likely die ugly.

However, this has nothing to do with Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang. They just came to take a look at the legendary exchange and feel the atmosphere.

Then, they left here.
