CHAPTER XVII
Many people who participated in the salon and were stationed in Shenghai to play stocks ate and stayed in the palace hotel every day. These people are not afraid of expensive, so you can imagine how good this salon that provides free tea is.
In addition, the income of the salon itself is not small, and many intermediary fees and information fees are unknown to outsiders.
At a deeper level, the information itself is actually the greatest asset.
In this era when computers have not yet begun to be popularized and networked, it is extremely difficult to obtain information in a timely manner.
And the stock market is always changing rapidly, and even Jiang Che, a prophet, is limited to knowing that the warrant is an opportunity to get rich, and that's all, as for the specific details and figures...... I don't know.
This is the biggest reason why Jiang Che didn't dare to leave Shenghai and go home for the New Year, once he went back to that small county town, he would become deaf.
He also wanted to stay in the Palace Hotel to ensure that the news was timely, but such a place was obviously something that Jiang Che couldn't afford to live in at the moment, and his 20 small hotels tonight were already a rare "luxury".
The streets at night are dimly lit.
At this time, the night in Shenghai was not lively, and most of the shops were closed before dinner, because a large part of them were state-run or collective shops.
At this time, the clerks who were sitting behind the counter with woolen yarn and a straight face, and were too lazy to take care of customers, did not know that it was in this year that changes would come suddenly.
Finally, Jiang Che bought some snacks that could fill his stomach and walked back to the small hotel in the night.
I folded the jacket with the warrant and pillowed it behind my head, and unconsciously opened my eyes in a dark room...
It is said that it is like a different world, but this time it is really a different world.
I'm back, standing at the crossroads of a changing and turbulent era...... Goodbye to the tide of the year. Today, on the table.
……
……
Early the next morning, Jiang Che found another five-yuan small hotel, rubbed his dirty clothes and hung them up, and it was already nine o'clock when he went out.
At such a point in time, the salon of the Palace Hotel was even more lively than last night.
"Xiao Che, morning. "We had already briefly introduced ourselves to each other last night, and Chu Lianyi, the owner of the salon, saw Jiang Che come in and said hello with a smile.
She stood behind the counter, wearing delicate makeup, and her long hair was tied in a bun, looking smart and neat.
She looked after everything with ease and energy.
She can remember the names of every customer, greet the most shabby-looking speculators, be enthusiastic and measured, and can easily cope with the occasional newcomer who doesn't know how to measure.
This is a rare woman for the early nineties, with the charm and taste of the old sea, and modern almost ahead of 1992.
"Sister Chu is early, there are a lot of people today. Jiang Che stood outside the counter for a while, just for a moment, Chu Lianyi was very busy, and ordinary people who were interested would not talk too much.
"Yes, because there's new news coming out, you go and hear about it. ”
"Hmm. ”
Jiang Che found a place and stood outside the hotly discussed crowd for a while, and quickly understood why everyone was so enthusiastic and anxious this early in the morning.
The data has been released, 2.08 million, and the sales result of call warrants is 2.08 million, which is only a fifth of the original plan of 10 million.
Everyone here understands what that means.
The price of the 100-number tabula rasa has been called fifteen thousand, and it is still rising.
"Young man, how about it, you can sell your goods, right?" a middle-aged speculator who had asked Jiang Che last night said hello, stood up and said, "Why don't we talk about the price?"
Jiang Che refused with a smile and said goodbye and left the salon.
Someone behind him was asking: "That hairy boy has a warrant? ”
"Well, but I guess he probably has a whole set on him. Damn, it's quite calm, and the children of ordinary families hear 10,000 words, and they don't faint early?!" said the former one.
"Then give him a higher pitch again? Listening to the accent, he is not a local, it seems that he has no company, he should go back for the New Year, right?"
"No matter how high, I'm a little afraid, there are only about a dozen stocks a year, I don't dare to go too high, you big bosses, don't keep the price going up, leave a soup to drink." ”
After the laughter, the group continued to talk about the upper limit of the call warrant price, but no one was telling the truth.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave today?" Chu Lianyi greeted Jiang Che again when he went out and passed the counter, and then said: "Hurry to go home for the New Year?" Otherwise, you can listen to it again, there may be more news and changes today. ”
Jiang Che patted his stomach and said with a smile: "I'll go and earn the money for food and accommodation for the New Year first." ”
Looking at his back, Chu Lianyi's eyes lit up, playfully, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
……
……
With so many hundred yuan left on his body, Jiang Che bought a little wall calendar, New Year's paintings, calendar books, and two strings of red ornament firecrackers from the market.
On this day, he walked around the suburbs of Shenghai, and when he came back in the evening, the one hundred and twenty yuan on his body had become two hundred and thirty-five yuan.
It's still easy to make money for the New Year!
The next day, the lunar calendar was already twenty-nine, and the sales of New Year's paintings and the like had actually come to an end, Jiang Che went out early in the morning and swept a batch of New Year's paintings, wall calendars, calendar books and New Year's ornaments at the lowest price.
Then I bought a pack of cigarettes and waited for the truck at the exit from town.
Giving the cigarette to the driver, Jiang Che got into the car and went to a small county town in nearby Suzhou Province.
The next day, February 3, 1992, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Che returned to Shenghai again.
Then he quickly turned the money in his pocket into eight hundred and seventy-one and eight cents.
Because of this return trip, he also brought back some wild dried mushrooms collected by farmers from that small county town, and sold them out after running a few units to the family area.
That is, in this era, business, if you do it, you will get a harvest.
I finally found a small hotel near the palace hotel, paid three yuan to the boss, cooked a bowl of egg noodles by myself, and the proprietress kindly sandwiched a few dishes into a small plate and sent it over, which was very "hearty".
This is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the first year of Jiang Che's rebirth. After this year, Jiang Che was nineteen years old.
Walking in the sparsely populated streets after dinner, listening to the sound of drinking in the streets, the sound of televisions, the sound of firecrackers, and the smell of fireworks.
Jiang Che dialed several times in a row, and the phone was always busy.
This is also a helpless thing, in my own area, I have a phone call in Aunt Zhang's shop, not only to collect money, but also to connect, she also wants to collect a little.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm Jiang Che, please help me call my parents. "It took a long time to get through the phone.
"Oh, Che'er, you said you, tsk, it's not Aunt Zhang who is troublesome, you said that you are so sensible and can read, you are a famous and promising person in our area, why are you so confused?" Aunt Zhang said loudly on the phone, "You see that everyone is talking about it now, your parents ...... I can't get over it on my face, and I still have that little money, and you've ruined it, haven't you?"
Before Jiang Che could speak, there was a clattering noise on the other side of the phone, and a sentence, "What nonsense, what nonsense, you talk a lot", it was the voice of his mother.
"I said you'd call, and your dad and I were waiting here. Jiang's mother said happily on the phone: "How is it, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is good?"
"Well, I've had dinner, and I'll go back for the next year's dinner in a while. ”
"That's good, that's good, then I'm relieved...... By the way, remember to go out tomorrow morning to buy some gifts, even if you live in someone's house, you have to pay New Year's greetings? Don't save money, pick the good ones and buy them. ”
"Well, I know. Jiang Che's eyes suddenly became a little sour.
"Your dad told you", Jiang's mother said, "Your dad urged me." ”
Dad Jiang took the phone.
"Dad. ”
"Huh. ”
"I'm sorry I've caused trouble at home. ”
"What are you talking about, it's nothing, you just relax, Dad is here. ”
"That...... Actually, don't worry, you two don't worry, including this, including business at home or something, you can wait for me to come back and see. ”
"Okay, we're not in a hurry, don't worry about family affairs, just take care of yourself and work hard after graduation. Dad Jiang smiled and said, "By the way, the red envelope is wrapped for you, and I will give it to you when you come back...... Okay, next year you'll be working on your own, but it's gone. ”
"Well, starting next year, I'll give you a bag. ”
"Okay, okay, then your mother and I will wait for the blessings. Dad Jiang was silent for a while, and then said, "Long-distance calls are expensive, hang up." ”
