Chapter 66: The Night Before the Storm

(Because of harmony, this paragraph is written a little vaguely, this plot is too important and can't be skipped, so bear with it!)

"Dasha, do you still remember how to get to Wenjia Village? When the time comes, you won't get lost with your neighbors, right?" Jia Lei thought about it and asked worriedly. small says .

"Of course not, there is a roast goose and goose in the street in front of Wenjia Village, which is very delicious! There is also a lap-mei restaurant in the neighborhood next to it, and by the way, they have a Cantonese restaurant called Fuxi which is also very famous, I just need to say the driver to know. Dasha said proudly.

Jia Lei already felt that his face was about to lose at this time, it turned out that this is how foodies remember the way......

"Fuxi Restaurant, I know, you're talking about the Wenjia Village in the city center, right? The driver chimed in.

"No matter how you remember Ruth, as long as you can remember the place and don't bring people to find mistakes!" Jia Lei said.

Since the driver listened to Dasha and said that the place can find the way, Jia Lei was relieved.

So Jia Lei and Dasha generally went to different places, and when they arrived at the door of the Pearl Hotel, Jia Lei found that there were many people here who took some tabloids printed by themselves and sold them.

It turned out that in less than two days, these people from other places bought all the books with the word "stock" on the streets of Pengcheng City.

They read books and newspapers while discussing stock terms such as "moving average", "i", "m-top" and "bottom", which inspired some locals.

As a result, some people in Pengcheng, who have been speculating in the stock market for two years, are "old stockholders", and some people in Pengcheng have hit the idea of making money, and since these experts who understand theory want to buy newspapers and books, those outsiders who have never seen stocks want to buy them even more.

So these people simply summarized some common sense and common words of the stock market, and found someone to engrave and print it out and sell it everywhere.

The streets are full of people queuing and discussing stocks, and although it is difficult for everyone to communicate with each other in an accent from all over the world, as long as the common topic of stocks is discussed, everyone can happily talk together.

These people cheered each other on, stood together in front of the sale point of the stock lottery form, and began the long and arduous queue process.

Jia Lei took Hong Chen into the hotel together, but when he arrived at the little Jew's room, he didn't see the little Jew, only Ah Fei.

"Where did the little Jew go? Didn't I ask him to wait for me in the house?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

"He's going to the lottery to sell the spot!" Fei said.

"Since the little Jew went to the sales point, why didn't you go with him?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"The sky in this ghost place in Pengcheng, it will be sunny for a while and rainy for a while, and I came back after being wet in the rain when I was queuing up yesterday. I don't want to go again!" Fei said.

"No, the little Jew is not such a hard-working person, would he do such a hard thing to queue up, let alone let him queue up in the rain?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

After the rain yesterday, the little Jew paid a few migrant workers to help him get to the queue, and he went to the ticket office to deliver food to the group. Ah Fei said.

"I see that you are queuing up very hard, so it's better to forget it! There are so many people who come to Pengcheng to buy the lottery form this time, and the winning rate of the lottery form must be low. You might as well follow me back to Pearl City and wait for the fourth lottery of the Pearl stock call warrant!" Jia Lei said.

"What's so hard about queuing? In the past, when there were no stock warrants, we all queued up to buy tickets and scalping tickets, and we were used to this kind of thing. How can you not buy the lottery form because of this little thing!" Ah Fei shook his head and said.

"Since you're used to it, why don't you go to the queue in person today?" Jia Lei asked speechlessly.

"Although I'm used to queuing, I'm not used to the weather in Pengcheng! You don't know how much the people who queued up with me have endured in the past two days. The weather here in Pengcheng has become very fast, and the temperature has been more than 30 degrees Celsius just now, and there will be showers or even torrential rain in a blink of an eye, and then there will be strong winds in the blink of an eye! I had no experience in Pengcheng for the first time, and my body was drenched in rain after waiting in line for a long time. Later, I thought that I was so rich, and if I got sick because of this little thing, I wouldn't be able to pay it. That's why I didn't go today!" Ah Fei said with emotion.

"Then are you going to give up!" Jia Lei asked very happily.

"At that time, I was ready to give up! The little Jew was still smart, and he took me to a nearby construction site and hired 20 migrant workers to line up, and 10 of them were to help me line up, and we only had to pay each of them 50 yuan a day. Ah Fei said proudly.

"This lottery form only sells for 100 yuan a piece, and it will cost you 100 yuan to hire someone to help you queue for two days, plus the ...... of delivering water and food. Have you ever calculated how much it will cost to hire someone to buy a lottery form for you?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

"It's about 200 yuan per person! We hired people to help line up from the 7th, and we had to queue for 7, 8, 9, and 10 days in total, plus food and drinks, and it would cost 250 yuan to hire a worker to line up. Ah Fei said.

"You didn't even buy a lottery form, you already put in 2,500 yuan, it's not worth it!" Jia Lei shook his head and said.

"It's worth it! You forget, you earned a few thousand yuan with a stock subscription certificate you bought at the beginning, and the one with good luck even earned tens of thousands of yuan! Pengcheng's stock lottery form can subscribe for 1,000 shares, and each person who buys ten will win at least one lottery. According to the income from the listing of new shares in Pearl City, even if the stock price only doubles, a table can earn 2,000 yuan. If we have ten, a hundred, or even a thousand watches, we can earn even more!" Ah Fei said.

"You're wishful thinking! There are only 5 million lottery tickets in total, and now there are more than 1 million people queuing up, and one person can only buy five tickets at most! Do you understand?" Jia Lei asked.

"Jia Lei, what do you mean by that?" Ah Fei asked.

"It's not interesting, I just think this winning rate is too low! The fourth lottery is about to be held on the 10th of the Pearl stock subscription warrant, why don't you go back with me and wait for the lottery of the subscription warrant?" Jia Lei said.

"Why did Jia Lei say that? Is there a problem with the low winning rate?" Ah Fei suddenly sat up and asked with a serious face.

"I don't know, I just think there are too many people in this city, and thanking people always gives me a bad feeling. Jia Lei said.

"Jia Lei, you have to know, if you feel that this kind of thing can't be done accurately, it can't be used as evidence! I was scared to death when I heard what you said so seriously just now. Ah Fei said helplessly.

"Forget it, I'm going to have a barbecue party in my hotel in the evening, even if it's a celebration of our long absence. You remember to bring the little Jews with you!" Jia Lei thought for a while and said.

"That's a good idea, this kind of weather is the most suitable for eating barbecue while drinking cold beer! You don't know that this place in Pengcheng is also more than 20 degrees at night, and people who are hot can't sleep at all. Especially the mosquitoes here are so poisonous! I've suffered a lot these days. Ah Fei said, and then he stretched out his arm full of mosquito bags to show Jia Lei.

"Of course I know about that, I've been here since the year before. You don't know, there was an eldest sister who told me the year before last that the mosquitoes in Pengcheng are the elite of mosquitoes, and since they are elites, they are naturally more poisonous than other mosquitoes!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"By the way, I don't know what you all like to eat, let's go to the market to buy vegetables later, shall we?" Jia Lei said.

"I think it's better to forget it, right? The vegetables here in Pengcheng have been eaten up by us outsiders, and now you can't even see a single green leaf in the market, and there are only potatoes left in it. Ah Fei said.

"Oh, it seems that if I want to eat meat, I will have to find my own way! There are too many outsiders this time, like locusts, and you have eaten only potatoes in a green city. Sure enough, there are too many people, and there will always be accidents!" Jia Lei said speechlessly.

*****

On the evening of August 8, 1992

"Jia Lei, what are you looking at?" asked Hong Chen, who followed Jia Lei with a bunch of food.

"You see there's still people queuing up next to that hospital over there, is there a watch shop there?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

"Oh! Since there are people queuing up there, there must be a watch sales point, but it's too chaotic there! The people in line are already fighting with those who want to cut the line, so we can't go there and line up to buy lottery tickets. Hong Chen shook his head and said.

"Well, I see, it's not a good place! You see these people were still queuing up just now, and now they're going straight to the hospital. Jia Lei sighed and said.

I don't know who started it, but since the afternoon, the people in line in the city and the people who cut the queue have clashed one after another, and then the people in line in order to prevent someone from cutting the line, they all hugged the people in front of them tightly, and everyone stuck together.

Know that the people in line are all strangers. And there are men, women, and children in it, but now the crowd can't hire so much!

Compared with ordinary shareholders, a rich man like a small Jew naturally does not have to suffer from this, and he is happily holding a barbecue party on the top floor of Jia Lei's hotel.

"Jia Lei, I really admire you so much, now the price of food in the whole city has risen, but you can't buy mutton with money! I didn't expect you to really be able to get a barbecue stall for us, you really can!" said the little Jew and wiped the sweat from his head again, picked up the beer and drank half a bottle.

"I bought my chickens and meat from the village, and my hotel has signed a long-term contract with them to supply vegetables and meat, unlike restaurants outside that have to buy vegetables from other cities. Look at how fresh this mutton is? This is the sheep that was killed this afternoon!" Jia Lei said proudly.

"This meat is good! I have to eat more, or I won't have the strength to grab the draw tomorrow." The little Jew nodded.

"Then you eat more, maybe this is your last dinner in Pengcheng!" Ah Fei said drunkly.

"Cut, Brother Fei, I think you've drunk too much, why do you say such unreliable drunken words!" said the little Jew.

"I'm not drunk! I can drink at least ten bottles, and I don't believe we'll be comparable. Ah Fei said.

"Who's afraid of whom?" said the little Jew at once, and then he went to get his wine.

"It's not interesting to compare the two of you, why don't you four compare together! I want to know which of the four of you can drink the best." Jia Lei said coaxingly on the side.

"Who's afraid of whom! The four of us are sure that I am the best drinker. Hong Chen immediately nodded and said.

"I can't compare to you in other things, but when it comes to eating and drinking, you are all my subordinates!

So the four of them put together the wine, and Jia Lei sat beside them and watched them drink bottle after bottle of beer, and kept applauding them.

"Huh, there's no beer?" the little Jew put down his fourth bottle of beer, and when he touched it, he pounced.

"I'm not here either, I'll go downstairs to the kitchen and get a box!" Ah Fei staggered to his feet and said.

"You sit down for me, you still want to go downstairs like this, don't you go halfway and roll down the stairs!" Jia Lei pressed Ah Fei back to his seat and said.

"Then I'll go!" Dasha said, standing up.

He was indeed the best drinker, and he had drunk almost ten bottles of beer before and after, and Dasha was still steady in both walking and talking.

"No, you're all my guests today. How can I let you work? Mobei, you go down and help them carry a case of beer. Jia Lei said.

"Okay boss, I'll go!" Mo Bei nodded and said.

In less than 3 minutes, Mo Bei ran back from below with a case of beer, and he put the beer box next to Jia Lei with a "bang".

"Be careful! If it weren't for the caps, you would have spilled the wine. Hong Chen reminded him.

"Isn't that all right? Wait, I'll help you get a drink." Jia Lei said and walked to the wine box and squatted down.

"Bang, bang, bang......" With a snapping sound, Jia Lei opened a case of beer with a bottle in one go.

"You guys drink cup by cup too slowly, why don't you just take the bottle and drink it!

"Jia Lei, what are you doing here? We have something to do tomorrow, do you really want to get us all drunk?" Ah Fei raised his head and asked with red eyes.

"Haha! If you're scared, just say it, as long as you take it, you don't need to drink it. Hong Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, what's the delay with this beer? Let's get some sleep at night and wake up tomorrow." If you're scared, throw in the towel!" said Little Jew with a smile.

"I can drink a case of beer by myself, and it's only a few bottles, and it will never get me drunk!" Dasha also patted his chest and said disdainfully.

"Not necessarily, my beer is all imported from Hong Kong Island, and I have a lot of stamina! Jia Lei reminded them.

"It's okay, no matter how strong it is, it's still beer! I'll just drink it and get some sleep." Little Jew said, and then the four of them put together the wine.

"Huh, why is my head a little dizzy......" Hong Chen shook his head and said.

"My head is also a little dizzy, it seems that Jia Lei is right, the stamina of this wine is a bit big!" said the little Jew lying on the table.

"Brother Fei, do you get up and continue drinking?" Dasha pushed Ah Fei beside him and said, but Ah Fei was pushed by him and slid directly under the table.

"Huh...... Fei Ge is down! I'm drinking better than he is......" said the little Jew as he lay on the table, squinting and smiling.

"I can't do it! I'm dizzy and I'm going to have to lie down for a while. Hong Chen also lay on the table after speaking.

"Hahaha! I won! I won!" Dasha said as he jumped up for joy, and then he collapsed on the roof with a slump of his legs.

"It hurts......," Dasha shouted with his eyes closed, and then fell asleep with his head tilted.

"I'll just say that I have a lot of alcohol and ...... stains," Jia Lei squatted on the ground and poked Dasha's head with his fingers and said, Dasha moved but continued to sleep without opening his eyes.

"Let's move them all back to the guest room, the typhoon will save them from catching a cold!" Jia Lei stood up and waved his hand, and several bodyguards immediately came up to carry everyone down.

"How beautiful is the scenery tonight?" Jia Lei said as he looked at the night in the distance.

"What's so beautiful about this, I can't see the moon tonight!" Mo Bei said with a frown.

"When I say night scenes, I don't mean the moon, but the lights in the city! Look at the crowds of people lining up, don't they look like long dragons glowing?" Jia Lei said, pointing to the crowd in the distance.

The rooftop is a good location, Jia Lei can stand here to earn a Pengcheng City, see tonight's Pengcheng City is brightly lit, dozens of lights long winding around the city.

"Strange, what's wrong with that team over there?" Luo Nan said with a frown.

"Do you want to know? Then let me tell you, this is someone who wants to take advantage of the night to cut in line, and then fight with the people inside......" Jia Lei said in a low voice.
