Chapter 22 Millions of warrants were burned in one fire
Of course, since there were those who escaped and didn't buy it, there were also those who bought a subscription warrant and made a fortune on a whim!
Zhou still clearly remembers what happened on January 29, 1992.
That afternoon, he walked out of the office and passed the bank on his way to buy cigarettes, only to see a few large striking letters on the wall next to the bank: the purchase of stock warrants is moving forward, and a large arrow indicating the direction is also drawn.
"What is a stock warrant? I've only heard of stocks before, but I've never heard of a stock warrant?" Zhou said curiously.
Then, knowing nothing about the stock market, he walked into the bank in curiosity, only to see that there was no one in front of the business window marked with the purchase warrant.
"Why isn't there anyone in the bank? Is it true that everyone is like me, and doesn't know what this warrant is?" Zhou thought strangely.
"Anyway, I'm idle and fine, let's take a good look at what this stock subscription warrant is, right?" Zhou said curiously looking at the "Instructions for Buying Stock Subscription Warrants" posted on a wall of the bank.
"It turns out that only by buying this stock subscription warrant can you participate in the lottery, and if you win the lottery, you will be eligible to subscribe for shares. If this is not shaken, then the 30 yuan for the purchase of stock warrants will not be refunded! Does this thing look similar to a lottery ticket!"? After looking at it for a while, Zhou concluded.
You must know that the salary level at that time was not like now, although he had no family burden at that time, but the monthly salary was only about 200 yuan, and after hesitating for three weeks, he still gave up buying stock subscription certificates.
"When I went out to buy cigarettes just now, I saw that there were stock warrants sold in the bank, and I wanted to buy two to play with?
The people in their office have a good relationship with him, and Zhou wants to ask everyone's opinions.
"Of course, there is no need to buy this kind of thing, if you don't have a medium size after buying it, the 30 yuan is equivalent to throwing it in the water for nothing. Colleagues said.
"You're right, if you don't win after buying it, the money will be spent in vain!" Zhou agreed after listening to his colleague's words, and dispelled his desire to buy a few cards to play.
But I don't know why, the big words of the stock subscription certificate written on the bank wall always appear in his mind!
That night, when Zhou was listening to the shortwave radio according to his habit before going to bed, he heard a radio report about the sale of the call warrant.
"The number of 30 yuan stock subscription warrants sold for the first time in Pearl City is less than 2 million, and there are only three days before the final sale. According to the analysis of professionals, according to the number of companies and stocks waiting to be listed, in theory, almost every call warrant may be shaken......" The announcer's voice came from the broadcast, and Zhou was moved when he heard this.
Coincidentally, Zhou went to work the next day, and their unit happened to give a quarterly bonus of 360 yuan. Zhou weighed it again and again, and that afternoon, that is, on January 30, 1991, he finally bought 10 subscription warrants at a bank near his unit with a playful mentality.

February 1, 1991.
"How's it going?, is the data out?" Jia Lei asked anxiously while standing in the stock salon.
"It has been counted, and now the sales are only about 1.8 million copies, half of which are forced by the government to apportionment and sales, and you can definitely make a lot of money by buying this subscription warrant. We're here!" Lao Li took the statistical results and trembled with excitement.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go right away!" After Jia Lei finished speaking, he immediately put on his coat and was about to go out, and the others also began to act.
"Wait, everyone, don't forget, you have to go according to the pre-assigned area. The stock subscription warrants in stock in each sales point are limited, and our own people can't fight first because of the rush for the warrants!" Lao Li hurriedly reminded everyone.
"We all know it! Now we have to leave quickly, buying a subscription warrant not only has to pay but also a number of books, which is a waste of time! If the inventory is not enough, we have to let them go to another place to transfer, and it will be too late!" Jia Lei said impatiently.
"It's just that it's almost noon, and it's too late if you don't go. The others rushed out the door.
After going out, everyone got into their respective cars and immediately drove to various stock warrant sales points in the city.
The sales volume of 92 Pearl City stock call warrants was just like this on the afternoon of the last day of the sales deadline, because of the arrival of these people, ushered in the biggest outbreak!
"Let your manager come out for me, I want to buy 50,000 stock warrants!" After Jia Lei said this, Dasha immediately threw a sack of money on the bank counter.
"How many warrants do you want to buy? 50,000 shares, right?" asked the bank manager, trembling with excitement.
"You heard me right! I'm talking about buying 50,000 stock warrants!" Jia Lei nodded and said.
"But our bank doesn't have so many warrants?" said the manager.
"It's okay, there is no one in the warehouse where you can go to the headquarters to transfer, I can afford to wait!" After Jia Lei finished speaking, he sat down on a chair in the hall and waited calmly.
"Oh my God, where did the big guys buy so many stock warrants at once?" began to be said by the bank staff.
"Don't look at the excitement, don't go down and count the money and get the subscription warrant for the guests!" The manager began to call the headquarters to adjust the stock warrants while driving the employees who came to see the excitement.
"Why do you want me to wait a little longer? Why? I have a big customer here who wants to buy 50,000 stock warrants?" said the bank manager anxiously.
Now that they have sold a warrant, the commission has risen to 5 cents, and you must know that the business has become a 25,000 yuan for the withdrawal alone! Can the bank manager not be in a hurry?
"I don't know what's wrong, all of a sudden all the business outlets have big customers, hundreds of stock warrants, and now almost all the outlets are transferring goods with the headquarters! We really can't bring things to you for a while......
"Where did you get so many big customers? Do you know?" the manager immediately asked curiously.
"Don't you know! We've all been tricked! These big customers who come to buy stock warrants now are all the most famous stock investors in Mingzhu City. They originally said that they were not optimistic about the call warrants and thought that the stock call warrants were a fraud of money, but they were all fooling those ordinary people. Said the person at headquarters.
"But why are they doing that?" asked the manager, puzzled.
"Of course, it's to increase the winning rate! The more competition they have, the fewer opponents they have, and the more favorable the result will be for them in the draw! Now it seems that the people who bought this warrant will be issued!" said the people at the headquarters through gritted teeth.
"Click!" the phone in the manager's hand fell, and the surrounding employees looked at each other.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't we hurry up and buy some warrants, these people are all big stock holders! They must be doing the right thing! I know the person below, he is the mayor's godson, so it's right to follow him to buy it!" a male bank teller immediately reacted and said.
At this time, the other employees were all in a hurry, and they rushed to the hall to start queuing up to buy stock warrants, but they were already late, and the nearby residents who heard the wind had already lined up in the hall.
The last people to seize the opportunity to make a fortune with the 92 warrants that afternoon were the employees of these internal systems and the residents who lived near the business outlets.
On the afternoon of January 1, 1992, a long queue formed again in front of all the stock warrant sales outlets, but unfortunately the hour hand was approaching the final deadline minute by minute!
A lot of people are destined to go home empty-handed!
Even if you were lucky enough to line up at the counter, you didn't take much advantage, because everyone came out temporarily, and they didn't have much money in their pockets at all, and 100 yuan belonged to a "huge amount of money" at that time, and few people would bring so much spare money on their bodies.
Even the bank's internal employees can only buy one or two stock warrants because they don't have money, because everyone is at work and the passbook is at home, and there is no way to withdraw money from the bank.
At this time, if you want to borrow money, there is no place, who has money in hand now and does not buy a subscription certificate by yourself!
Then the citizens who rushed to line up were even more miserable, they didn't wait for themselves to get in line, and the sale of 92 shares subscription reached the deadline!
In the afternoon of the last day, Shengsheng increased the number of stock call warrants sold from 1.8 million to 2.07 million......

"Did you buy a stock warrant?" a man asked his subordinate secretly.
"We've got it!" several of the subordinates nodded.
"Is it a tabula rasa, a stock subscription without a name?" the man asked again.
"Don't worry, manager, it's all a tabula rasa!" several subordinates all nodded and said.
"Well, did you buy all the places?" the man asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I've bought them all! We have bought them all from ICBC, CCB, and other securities firms. The subordinates hurriedly said.
"Give me all the warrants! I have to put away the evidence, in case the higher authorities hold us accountable for selling bearer "tabula rasa" warrants in the future, I don't believe that the higher authorities can arrest all the issuing brokers...... "The man said.
"Manager Xie, is it really okay for us to do this?" asked the subordinate employees, and then each of them handed in ten blank stock warrants.
You must know that we can't do it, there are so many outlets below that I can't look at them one by one, and all the units have bearer warrants sold. It's not just us who made a mistake!" the man said, and the others snuck out again.
The man returned to the crowd with the warrant in his pocket, and many employees guessed that he was greeting.
"Manager Xie, haven't you left yet?" asked the old man at the entrance of the Huangpu business department of Wanguo Securities Company.
"I forgot something in the company, I'll leave immediately!" Xie Rongxing said with a smile.
In the early stage of the sale of 92 stock subscription warrants, the purchaser was not required to register his name, so a large number of "tabula rasa" nameless warrants flowed out of the market, which laid a hidden danger for this fortune warrant.

"Hey! Are so many stock warrants really going to be burned? There are still a lot of citizens queuing up to buy them this afternoon? This is money!" a leader asked distressedly looking at a cart of stock warrants.
"Burn it! It must be burned! It's because there are so many people who want to buy it that we have to burn it quickly, otherwise there will be as many people in line tomorrow as there was when there was an accident at the stadium last time, and if we postpone it again, it will be too unfair to those who bought the subscription warrants before!" said the leader of the securities company through gritted teeth.
"Boom!", the flames burst out.
The remaining 8 million 92 stock warrants began to burn, and the light of the fire illuminated the house, the open space, the night, and the entire Pearl City.
This fire completely ignited a miracle in the history of Pearl Securities trading in 92 years, and after this night, Pearl City created countless thousands of households because of stock subscription warrants......
Whoever called this fire was ignited, and the price of bearer "tabula rasa" stock warrants on the black market began to rise that night, and those who did not buy the warrants in the afternoon went to the black market to add money to buy "tabula rasa" stock warrants.
