Wall Street is a classic financial and business war movie, and one of the must-see movies at Harvard Business School and Stanford Business School. It was the first financial movie I ever watched. The film tells the story of a frustrated stock broker, Bud, who came into contact with the securities giant Gordon through a birthday gift, and gradually became Gordon's right-hand man by mining sales intelligence. In the process, Bud gradually tasted the sweetness of capital operation. , money, mansions, beauty, status, all gradually corroded his conscience, he inquired about information from friends and family around him, in order to obtain effective information, he would do anything to satisfy his endless greed desires, greed is endless, just like Gordon In the face of the accusations and doubts of the company's top management, the said greed is great, behind the capital is darkness and blood, and it is a damage to the interests of the company and society. Until Bud proposed to take over and reorganize the Blue Star Airlines where his father worked, it was originally to improve the company's operation model, improve the management system, and improve the company's competitiveness. I didn't expect Gordon to liquidate and sell Blue Star Airlines to make a big profit. Pen, which made Bud clearly realize that he and Gordon were not the same. In order to keep the company that his father had devoted his life to, he used the way Gordon taught him to first buy a lot to drive up the stock market price to let Gordon buy, and then All the sell-offs caused the stock price to drop and Gordon suffered heavy losses. Gordon's nemesis bought Blue Star at the lowest point and took over the operation of Blue Star Airlines. In the end, Gordon was arrested for insider trading disrupting the stock market order, but he was able to timely It may be his best ending to stop and not be swallowed by the greedy black abyss.

After watching this film, I felt a lot. Maybe it’s because of seeing the working state of the stock exchange broker’s phone, which may be the only way everyone must go after work; maybe it’s because of the drunken fans who get rich overnight, the temptation of money, status, and beauty may be them. It is necessary to make profits for oneself even if it touches the law; perhaps it is because of seeing capitalists unscrupulously exploiting shareholders and grassroots employees for their own interests. In the face of the bottomless abyss of greed, Germany can still give up the brilliance of humanity in time to give up everything he has. This movie is about the discussion of human nature, maybe everyone is greedy in the process of job promotion, but greed works, the capital market is the prey of the weak, and the weak can only be slaughtered, and the players who are left in the end are the gamers, But greed needs a measuring stick, and its bottom line is the law. Another thing that touched me was the experience of the protagonist Bud. I think his success was not accidental. He persevered. After being rejected by Gordon in the early stage, he recorded Gordon's birthday on the computer and gave him a birthday gift as a gift. You finally approached Gordon; he was smart and flexible, followed Wyman to spy on intelligence, and successfully completed the task Gordon gave him, thus staying by Gordon's side; After learning Sun Tzu's Art of War, he analyzed the stock market trend all night and improved his business level. In the future, I may follow the principle of finance. Even if I work in other industries, it is inseparable from the operation of capital. Money is important, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way, and it is more important to be worthy of his conscience.
