Simple movie review:

It is better to stay in the middle

From Chapter 5 of Tao Te Ching

Location: Long Island, USA

Character: Smart boy Xiaobai + supporting role

event:

1. When Xiaobai was 10 years old, the judge Laodou bought a bicycle for Xiaobai. As a result, he broke his leg. Laodou gave Xiaobai an earwax in a pool of blood. The purpose was to make Xiaobai forget the pain in his leg, but Laodou would not Explain why. But Xiaobai hated Laodou ever since. Love and fear.

2. Since then, Xiaobai has been messing around in order to make Laodou look good. If he can make a lot of money, he will not study hard. At the age of 19, he started an underground casino and was looked down upon by Laodou, and then he was fooled by a stock broker to play stocks together.

3. The big boss has two big brothers, a and b. A brings Xiaobai into the industry, which is not guaranteed and squeezed. b and Xiaobai look at each other.

4. The shell company jt Marin has made several IPOs. It can be bought, but it is not easy to sell. It must be signed by a or b. Generally not for sale. b later helped Xiaobai. In return, Xiaobai sold a message to b that he would come to clear the field within 20 minutes.

Main line = Fake companies get a lot of IPOs and let n+1 little whites deceive people, but they can't get in and fool people. Each Xiaobai started as an internship, and became a brother after 40 singles turned into a regular. The whole play uses the mode of 1+2+3+4, putting on the main line = happy ending.

Financial literacy: stockbrokers cannot operate illegally, and the cost is very high.

Highlights of the whole show: There is a white federal judge father, who can attack and retreat and defend.

Money is innocent and human nature is uncertain
