3 June 1992

"Bet, bet, bet, do you bet odd or even?" asked the little Jew, holding a handful of chess pieces.

"I'm betting on it!" Jia Lei said on the table with ten peanuts.

"I'm blocking doubles!" Fei said, tossing a box of Marlboro cigarettes on the table.

"I'm also pressing!" said Sanni, who also pressed ten peanuts.

Everyone in the room came to join in the fun, and although most of the bets were on candy, peanuts and cigarettes, everyone gambled very seriously. Anyway, the group of people in the house are not gambling to win or lose, everyone is just idle and bored to have a good time.

"It's open, it's open!" said the little Jew, throwing the chess pieces he had grasped in his hand on the table and spreading them out, and began to count them in pairs.

"Two, four, six, eight, ten...... Twelve, thirteen!!" said the little Jew in a loud and excited voice at the end, and all the people in the room who had pressed the singular number laughed happily.

"Oh! I'm losing a lot this time. The little Jew pretended to be distressed and said.

Then he grabbed a handful of peanuts from the bowl in front of him and compensated them one by one to the people who bought the odd number. Jia Lei took the ten peanuts that Little Jew paid and threw them into his mouth and chewed them vigorously.

"Little Jew, you are talking nonsense, I have gambled for so many years and I have never seen a banker lose money! All the things pressed by their group of old and weak women and children are not worth as much as my box of cigarettes, did you tell me that you really accompany?" Ah Fei asked with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Fei, how can you say that you are also a millionaire now! I just won you a box of imported cigarettes, will you still take this little money to heart?" After the little Jew finished speaking, he smiled and put the box of Marlboro cigarettes that Ah Fei pressed into his pocket.

"Come on, if you want to talk about money, I'm afraid you have more than me, so why are you still here betting peanuts with these old and weak women and children!" Ah Fei quipped.

"Hey, I'm not just waiting for boredom, I just want to find something to do for myself, otherwise I'm always thinking about the lottery for the warrants." My heart is flustered!" said the little Jew helplessly.

"Do you think I'm not panicking, or I'll bet peanuts with you here?" Ah Fei said, rolling his eyes.

"It's good to bet on peanuts, it's easy and easy, and you don't need to use your brain! Jia Lei said with satisfaction chewing peanuts.

"Aren't we all bored to play!" the others nodded.

"I don't know which number will be drawn in the lottery for the subscription warrant later?" My heart is always up and down!" Sanni said a little worriedly, and the people in the room were all worried when they heard this.

Yes, today is the day of the second lottery of the 92 Pearl stock call warrant!

Moreover, the number of people who paid attention to the live broadcast of the subscription warrant lottery this time was several times higher than last time, and both new and old shareholders and speculators from other places were waiting in front of the TV at this time, waiting for the results of the second subscription warrant lottery.

"What should come will always come! Even if you worry, it's useless, everyone look at it! If you win, you will be considered to have made a windfall, and if you don't win, you will only lose 30 yuan. Jia Lei comforted everyone and said.

"Cousin, you said this lightly, do you think that everyone is like you, holding tens of thousands of stock subscription warrants in your hand, no matter what number you shake?" Li Chunhua retorted unconvinced.

"Why are you arguing with me? Don't you also have 100 serial subscription warrants in your hand, why did you suddenly come to me for trouble for this kind of thing?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

"Cousin, you don't know! We don't have 100 serial stock warrants in our hands for a long time, and when you asked people to send fertilizer back to the village a while ago, didn't you tell us about using the village's money to buy stock warrants? As a result, a lot of people from several villages have come recently, and they said that the money to buy the subscription warrants came from the village, so we must give each of them a few subscription warrants. Su Chao sighed and said.

"Why do they say that? Didn't I send someone to send the fertilizer back, haven't we already paid off the money and goods for this matter! I told the third master about this just to let the third master and them look at you in the future, so that you don't have to cause trouble for me again! These people in the village actually have the face to ask you for a stock subscription certificate? What do they think?" Jia Lei asked in surprise.

When they heard that the warrants were worth their money, many people in the village were red-eyed. In addition, there are one or two scoundrels in every village, and we have no choice but to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster when they come to the door!" Su Chao said helplessly.

"Oh, how much money have you broken?" asked Jia Lei.

"I started by giving each of the first five people two stock warrants, but who knew that more people would come in two days. Later, there were people in all the villages who wanted to take advantage of me! Why should they?" said Li Chunhua angrily.

"You deserve it! You shouldn't have given them a warrant in the first place, it would have made you look like you'd be at a loss. Besides, there are so many people in several villages, even if you take out all the stock warrants, it won't be enough for them to share? Anyway, they only ask you to bring me to buy fertilizer for them, as long as I send the fertilizer over. The 50,000 yuan has nothing to do with them! Naturally, the things bought with this money have nothing to do with them, so you shouldn't give them a stock warrant. Jia Lei said angrily.

"That's right! Brother Zhu Yu said the same thing, this time thanks to him who put all the people who made trouble later in the detention room of the Public Security Bureau for two days! Those people no longer dared to stay in Mingzhu City to make trouble with us, and then I bought them tickets and let them all go back to their hometowns. Sanni said.

"No, Sanni, I saw you talking to a few people from the Northeast countryside at the intersection two days ago, but you just said that the people in your hometown were driven back by Li Chengyu, so who is the person talking to you?" Ms. Jin asked curiously.

"The people who talked to me at the intersection were not in the same group as those scoundrels, they spent their own money to speculate in stocks in Mingzhu City. They also bought their own call warrants, but they didn't have a stock account, so they came to me and wanted me to use my stock account to help them buy and sell stocks. Sanni said.

This is the legendary collective account!

"Oh, it's the same person who borrowed a stock account, and there have been a lot of people like this lately. There are already seven or eight relatives in our family who have come to borrow stock accounts!" Grandma Zhou said with empathy.

"I hope that the winning rate of the stock warrants in my hand can be higher today. Please let me win a few more shares!" Li Chunhua said to the God of Wealth in Jia Lei's house, who had faded.

"I also hope that the winning rate can be higher, but the winning rate of 10% is already very high, and I don't know how much higher it can be?" said Master Zhou anxiously, and his whole family followed him and watched TV in anticipation.

"Don't worry, there are 34 stocks participating in the lottery this time! The stock subscription warrants in your hands will definitely not have a low chance of winning the lottery. Jia Lei said.

"It would be nice if the winning rate of this stock was as high as the chess pieces we played!" Ms. Jin said, grabbing a handful of peanuts from the table and eating them in a sweet dream.

"Mom, are you daydreaming? Even I know that it is impossible for the stock subscription warrant lottery to have such a high winning rate. Dasha answered.

"Do you really think your mother and I are more stupid than you?" I just think about it, and who will take it seriously if I say it casually!" said Ms. Kim, rolling her eyes.

＊＊＊＊

Soon, after a short but particularly painful wait, the second lottery of the 92 Pearl City stock call warrants began.

Jia Lei, along with the others, stared excitedly at the transparent glass ball on the TV screen. Everyone didn't even dare to come out, and they were all quietly listening to every word coming out of the TV.

In order to reflect the principles and balance of fairness, justice and openness, the lottery will be carried out in three steps! The first step will be to draw a single number or a double number as the number to determine the winning number. The host said.

If the city decides to do this, it can guarantee that everyone who holds more than two stock subscription warrants will be able to win the lottery!

Then a staff member walked to the only lottery machine on the scene, poured the number ball into the machine and began to draw lots.

"Oh my God, there is only one lottery machine this time! The result of the lottery is really a bet on odd and even numbers, and the winning rate is too high, right?" said the little Jew who stood up and rushed to the TV.

"This time it's actually a bet on odd and even numbers! I ...... I can't do it!" Grandma Zhou said excitedly while holding her chest, many people present were about to have heart attacks as excited as her.

Everyone hurriedly ran over to pour water and medicine for Grandma Zhou, and at this moment, the lottery results on TV came out.

The winning number this time is 4!

In other words, all the stock warrants with double numbers have been won!

At this moment, the entire Pearl City is boiling, and half of the winning rate is enough to change the lives of countless people.

"Now let's move on to the second step, which is to determine the order of the 34 joint-stock companies by lottery. The host continued on the TV, but few people in the room paid attention to her words.

Soon this step was completed, and the order of the 34 companies participating in the lottery was written on the blackboard.

"The third step, the number of the warrant and the number of shares subscribed for the joint-stock company determined by the lottery ......" The lottery ceremony on TV is still going on, but everyone in Jia Lei's house has begun to discuss enthusiastically.

Everyone is calculating that they will be able to subscribe for shares in that company.

"Finally, I have one thing to remind you that the shares of Lianghua Industrial, Pudong Jinqiao, Xinya Fast Food, Waigaoqiao, Lujiazui, Oriental Pearl, Commercial Development, and Lingqiao Shares in this lottery have not been profitable for two consecutive years due to the new formation of the issuing company. Therefore, these eight companies will not be listed this year, and the shares of the remaining 28 companies will be listed and issued within the year. Said the host on TV.

Hearing this, some people who were originally happy couldn't help but sigh and showed disappointed expressions.

"Hey, the stocks of these companies are going to be the same as Pudong Johnson & Johnson last time, and I don't know when they will be listed. Isn't this the difference between winning the lottery and not winning it? I threw this thing away and was reluctant, and I felt suffocated when I left it. I'm so worried!" Ms. Kim said worriedly, and the rest of the room agreed.

Since Ms. Jin bought hundreds of serial stock subscription warrants, she won the lottery for these stocks that could not be listed!

"But these companies are all Pudong concept stocks, and when Pudong develops in the future, these stocks will definitely be particularly valuable." Why do you dislike them so much?" Jia Lei asked incomprehensibly.

"We don't understand what kind of Pudong concept stocks you are talking about, and we don't believe that there will be any great development in the future just because of the quagmire in Pudong! What's more, these companies don't even have a shadow now, so who can be sure that their shares will be worth much in the future? It is said that the shares of these companies will not be listed until three years later, which is too long. I might as well take the opportunity and sell the stock warrants of the companies that have won the lot!" said the little Jew disdainfully.

"But I think Pudong is a good place, and the companies there will be worth a lot of money in the future! Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"I also agree with the little Jew's opinion, some of these companies have just been established, and some have just been established for a year! They are not as profitable as their companies in Yuyuan Garden Mall, and who knows what will become of the future development of their stocks?"

"Why don't you believe me! I tell you, you must listen to me this time and subscribe for all these Pudong concept stocks. I promise they won't lose!" Jia Lei was afraid that this group of people would really sell the subscription warrants, so he hurriedly guaranteed everyone.

"Let's talk about this later!" Most people in the room began to avoid Jia Lei's sight, and few people took Jia Lei's words to heart.
