"Hey, who's talking, busy. "The voice was a little impatient.

Jiang Che stood next to an old-fashioned telephone booth that also sold books and newspapers, if the phone couldn't get through, and Xie Xing couldn't be found, proving that he was not in the office, Jiang Che would have to rush to the Industrial and Commercial Bank on the first day, even if he took a taxi, he wouldn't have time.

Fortunately, Xie Xing is in the office of Wanguo Huangpu today, and probably the current situation no longer requires them salesmen to run outside.

"Manager Xie, it's me, I'm Jiang Che. ”

"Ah, it's little brother Jiang Che, hello, hello", the other party immediately changed his tone, "I'll tell you, I'm finally relieved, you should have earned, earned......"

"I know, Brother Xie...... I'd like to buy another set. ”

There is no time to waste, Jiang Che said straight to the point, waiting for the other party's response, feeling a little nervous - after all, this time, that time, brothers, people who are strangers in the future, Jiang Che has not seen it in his past and present lives.

"Where are you? Hurry up and come to Whampoa...... Back door. Xie Xing's answer was very crisp.

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes. Jiang Che is now very glad that he is not far from Wanguo Huangpu.

In less than ten minutes, Jiang Che ran to the back door of Wanguo Huangpu, and Xie Xing was not there.

"Brother, this way. ”

Jiang Che followed the sound to find it, and in the corner of a house not far away, Xie Xing's figure flashed.

……

"I can't be seen by my colleagues and leaders, and I can't come out for too long, and now I'm staring at it. The first time they met, at the corner of the alley, Xie Xing said with a smile.

Jiang Che nodded, "Thank you." ”

"What's polite, you're not my classmates and relatives, it turns out that it's nothing if they don't buy one, but they still have to be sarcastic and scolding the street...... As a result, I couldn't wait until I was too late this afternoon, and they came to me again. Xie Xing smiled bitterly and said, "There is not much time left, let's hurry." ”

After saying that, he took out a stack of warrants directly from the inner pocket of his suit.

Jiang Che took a look: "Whiteboard, didn't you say that you can't sell whiteboards now?"

"Yes, you can't sell it, and now you have to register the relevant information for each one. However, this set was ordered by a relative of mine before, and he ordered a set for him to drink, and I got it ready...... As a result, he probably repented, and he kept dragging on and refused to pay, and it was useless for me to urge him to beg him. So, you know, now he wants to pay, and there's no way. ”

Xie Xing's face showed a smile mixed with anger.

“…… What about yourself, don't you buy some?" is actually taking a risk to say this.

"Shhhh ”

Since there was nothing to say about this, Jiang Che paid decisively.

"Then I have to go back immediately", Xie Xing patted Jiang Che on the shoulder, turned around and ran out a few steps, then turned around and said, "I don't think I have time today, and then you have to go home for the New Year, right? ”

Jiang Che nodded and said, "Okay." ”

This meal should definitely be invited by Jiang Che, but at present, he can't afford to invite it.

He only had one hundred and fifty-two cents left on him now.

……

After staying in the back alley for a while, and then going back to the front door, the door of the sales hall was just closed, and the long queue was still nearly 100 meters away...... As the time ended, the floor was full of sighing people.

At this point in the first stage, Jiang Che went to cut his hair first, and he wanted to completely "draw a line" with Master Han Li.

The hairstyle was cut according to Jiang Che's own requirements, not to mention how modern it was, but three or seven points, four or six points or something, the designation was gone.

Then I found a slightly better small hotel nearby, asked the proprietress for two bottles of hot water, took a simple bath with cold water in the basin, changed all the clothes that had stinked, and put on another set in the bag.

Jiang Che looked in the mirror and was very sure that compared to the dirty, smelly, and messy Master Han Li before, the person in the mirror had changed a lot, if he was just passing by on the street and didn't carefully look at his face to identify him, even Zhao Wuliang might not dare to recognize him.

Finally, sitting on the bed, Jiang Che once again removed the threads sewn on the inner pocket of the old coat, took out the 200 whiteboard warrants he bought before, added the 100 he had just bought, and counted them carefully 3 times.

These 300 warrants are his bargaining chips to fight against the torrent in this turbulent era.

"If nothing else, I'll be able to play at the table. Although Jiang Che is still unsure at this moment, how much original capital can the three sets of subscription warrants bring to him, and what the cycle is.

Again, 300 warrants were wrapped in plastic bags and sewn densely into the inner pocket of the new coat.

When Jiang Che came out of the small hotel to find a place to have dinner, he still had one hundred and thirty yuan and two cents left on his body.

Of the two bottles of boiling water, one of them was free, and the other bottle of proprietress had to charge a dime, Jiang Che said that she couldn't do it, so she had to give it.

There is already a smell of Chinese New Year on the street, and at this time, there are only 3 days left until the Lunar New Year in 1992.

One hundred and thirty yuan and two cents, the fare is enough, and if there are no special circumstances, Jiang Che can leave home tomorrow morning for the New Year-but if he goes back like this, what will happen to the money? Not to mention that there is no money to bring back, what will happen to the money that will come out next time...... Do you want to ask your parents again?

Worry about.

"Brother, do you have a warrant? ”

A voice interrupted Jiang Che's thoughts.

Jiang Che glanced down at a young man in his twenties squatting on the side of the road, holding a paper sign in his hand, which read:

[High-priced acquisition of stock warrants, single with registration information 33, tabula rasa 35, set of 100 serial numbers, with registration information 3500, tabula rasa 3800].

In this way, Jiang Che's three sets of subscription warrants have earned 2,400 yuan in less than an hour and a half after the sales deadline, which is close to the salary of the worker's mother for two years.

No, he had already earned 3,000 yuan, because Jiang Che soon saw another person holding a card, and the price on him was 4,000 yuan for a set of whiteboards.

It's crazy, but obviously, this amount of money can't even impress the hairs on Jiang Che's body.

"How about it, brother, is there any, if so, we can talk about the price......" The man squatting on the ground asked, tilting his head.

Jiang Che shook his head.

"4500, whiteboard, 4500 for a set, the highest price. He still didn't give up.

Well, in the blink of an eye, each set went up another 500.

Jiang Che still shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I really didn't." ”

"Little brother, if you are interested, come in and sit in the salon, there are a lot of friends here. A fashionable and glamorous woman in her thirties walked out of the hall of a building less than twenty meters away and waved at Jiang Che.

As the actual operator of the salon, in the past two years, she has seen too many people playing stocks, and if this young man outside really has no goods, or does not know how to do it, it will definitely not be this performance.

Since you are knowledgeable, you should come in and talk.

Jiang Che glanced up:

【Palace Hotel】.

"It's a restaurant, but there's a salon at the back, where friends who play stocks get together and communicate. The woman explained with a smile.

As she spoke, the flow of people with leather bags kept coming in and out, some looking annoyed, some proud.

It wasn't until Jiang Che sat down in this large salon where people were constantly moving, but still maintained a scale of more than 300 people at any time, and listened quietly for a while, that he understood:

It turns out that this is the largest black market related to stocks in Shenghai, and before talking about stocks, buying and selling reservation coupons, now, all the focus is on call warrants.

At nine o'clock in the night, when Jiang Che refused countless inquiries and left the salon, the actual price of a set of whiteboards inside was close to 10,000.

Walking out of the door, the price on the cardboard of the young man on the side of the road was 5,000 for a set, 45 for a single sheet—occasionally someone sold it, one or three or five sheets, and left excitedly with the money after selling.

Inside and outside the circle, two worlds.

Jiang Che knew that he couldn't go home for the New Year, although if he chose to sell the subscription warrant now, he could bring back a huge sum of 30,000 yuan, which would surprise his parents and go crazy......

But...... That would certainly be the stupidest thing to do.

"Can I confess to my parents?"

"Not yet, now that I have said it, my parents will definitely force me to sell it immediately. ”
