Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Boy in the Video Hall
Jiang Che listened to his classmates in a class without a teacher, a group of teenagers who did not know the world, and discussed with the greatest enthusiasm, about going to the sea, making a fortune, being laid off, subscription warrants, and leaving their jobs without pay......
There are stories of their families, relatives, neighbors, and classmates from junior high school and elementary school.
The good, the bad, the miraculous, the tragic.
Some people say that a second-rate son in our village used to go out to mix when he couldn't eat enough, and later contracted the project, sent it, bought a Jialing 125, and brought back a woman who wore stockings and exposed her thighs.
Some people say that my junior high school classmates dropped out of school and went to Guangdong Province so far, there is no news, and my mother waits at the entrance of the village every day, and her eyes are almost blind from crying.
Some people say that Shenzhen is full of gold.
Some people retort that Shenzhen is actually not so good, I went to Guangdong Province, I couldn't understand the words, the streets were full of big brothers and bags, groups of managers, and liars everywhere......
Because they all heard about it, they all knew nothing, and they argued from time to time.
Jiang Che listened quietly on the side, he couldn't give an answer to Zheng Xinfeng's question, because whether he should go back to the countryside to teach actually varies from person to person.
Not everyone is suitable for this torrent...... If you really go down, maybe someone will succeed, but at the same time someone will be drowned.
The hottest topic is always call warrants.
Because it is the most practical, the people here can't afford the project at present, and they can't be managers, but even if everyone can't afford to buy a set, touch their pockets, and then cut down on food and clothing for a while, two or three are still no problem, and if these two or three are lucky, it is not impossible to earn tens of thousands.
That's an opportunity for a 10,000-dollar household...... There are not many people who will come to study secondary school, and the family is really rich.
Of course, at this moment, no one knew that the classmate sitting next to them had three sets of tabula rasa 92 fortune certificates that were said to be close to 100,000.
Ye Qiongzhen didn't know that the "lucky one" in the story she saw in the newspaper last night was sitting in this classroom, and it was her ex-boyfriend.
Suddenly, someone asked, "I don't know if there will be a next time." ”
Jiang Che thought for a while, and for the first time answered: "Yes, since Sheng Hai has sent it, Shenzhen will have to send it sooner or later." ”
For a moment everyone was silent, and after a second, there was a commotion.
All eyes turned to Jiang Che, including Ye Qiongzhen, her hands clenched into fists under the table, her eyes eager.
"Shenzhen's ...... Is it okay to buy it?"
"Pillow, where did you get the news?"
A few students asked eagerly.
"I heard it on the radio, as for whether it's good or not, I don't know ......" Jiang Che said with a smile, "It's just that there must be a lot of people who will buy it when the time comes, you see even we have thought of it." I think there will still be people who will make money, but there will definitely be no rate of return like Sheng Hai. ”
Jiang Che briefly stated the truth and did not continue.
In August, there will be the next call warrant issuance in Shenzhen.
This year, Shenzhen's population is only 600,000, but at that time, there will be an influx of millions of people, and at the same time, there will be an influx of tens of millions of ID cards......
That lively, Jiang Che hadn't decided whether to make up or not.
He doesn't have much specific memory of this, but judging by the rules alone, the risk of buying original shares in the primary market is still not large, but the secondary stock markets in Shenghai and Shenzhen are likely to have a crisis in the near future - because otherwise, it really doesn't conform to the laws of the economy at all.
Therefore, Jiang Che still thought about it, first operate the 300 warrants on his body, and then withdraw temporarily, and wait for the next point with a clear memory before entering.
But if the information is not clear, he does not gamble.
……
In the evening of that day, Jiang Che called Chu Lianyi for the first time since he came back to inquire about the status of the warrant.
"The price called outside is about 1120,000, and we have called 150,000 here," Chu Lianyi said on the phone, "Because there is more and more news coming out now, some people say that the number of stocks issued throughout the year is likely to increase to about 50, and the winning rate of the second lottery will be around 50%." ”
"By the way, there are actually very few complete sets of transactions now. She added.
At least 500,000 didn't run, and I could do something, Jiang Che's heart thumped a few times, "Thank you, Sister Chu." ”
Chu Lianyi smiled and asked, "When will you go back to Shenghai?"
Jiang Che thought for a while and said, "I came here in about a month." ”
Because the second lottery was on June 3, 92.
"Well, if you don't plan to suffer that loss again this time, you have to try to find a way to prepare the working capital. Chu Lianyi reminded one last sentence and hung up the phone.
Working Funds...... All right.
Jiang Che calculated all the way, and when he returned to the dormitory, all seven roommates were there, and the atmosphere initially felt a little tense, and then it seemed to be a kind of suppressed excitement.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Are you going to the video hall?" asked one of the roommates, in a tone that felt like asking "Are you going to end the devil's turret?"
What is there to be excited about and depressing about going to a video hall? In '92, although the video halls on the street were just emerging, they were not very rare, and this was the trendy era of Hong Kong films.
Jiang Che nodded in confusion.
It wasn't until he was taken by the roommate to a small house in the deep alley of the urban village that Jiang Che realized that something was wrong.
"This is it, there will be 'good' films here!"
The roommate's tone seemed to be talking about a major event about world peace, and as he spoke, he led everyone around the stairs, "Don't be afraid, listen to them, the husband of this proprietress is from the police station." ”
He lifted a black curtain and said in the tone of an underground party: "Boss, eight people." ”
"Five cents per person. The proprietress didn't panic at all, turned her head to look at the little boys carefully, and came up to collect the money with a smile.
In the black video hall where the "good" film is played, the woman watches the scene and sells tickets, awesome, Jiang Che paid the money, heard a few sounds of swallowing saliva in his ears, looked up, understood, because the proprietress .
The proprietress in her thirties is by no means a beauty in the orthodox sense of the word, and she is a little too tall for her standard body type......
But as a result, she is very "big", especially the part wrapped in the tight bodybuilding pants, which is round and huge.
This is an era of depression, for these boys who have not experienced it, eager and depressed, this mature woman, this direct visual impact, will make her a bomb, the temptation is far greater than those beautiful female classmates in the school, young little girls.
"Gone. Jiang Che pushed and finally drove the dazed roommates in.
Not a lot of space, more than a dozen long wooden benches, except for the light from a 17-inch TV screen, pitch black, men of all ages, all kinds of unpleasant smells.
Eight people sat down in a corner.
At this time, the film playing on the screen is called "91 Condor Heroes", a new film.
But there are still voices that keep ringing:
"It's not good-looking, change the ...... of the film"
"Yes, change the film, Lao Tzu is here to watch a good movie. ”
There are constantly people proposing, and there are constantly people who say yes.
Finally, the proprietress walked out, "Now I want to change the film, and those who want to continue watching will add five cents per person, and those who don't watch it will go out." ”
After saying that, she began to collect money one by one......
"But we only watched the last part for less than ten minutes, boss, can you give us a cheaper?"
The roommate talked about the price for half a day, and finally agreed to pay three cents per person.
Paying the money and waiting, the breathing around them began to become heavier, and Jiang Che listened to them comfort and make fun of each other before he knew that several roommates were watching "good movies" for the first time.
And Jiang Che is a person who has experienced the Internet era and has fast-forwarded until he is soft.
The proprietress walked up to the TV, turned her back to the person below, and bent over...... There was a neat gasp at the bottom, and a few obscene swear words.
She pressed the exit button on the black VCR, took out a box of tapes, put another box in, pressed play, and walked away.
Throughout the process, Jiang Che's ears were filled with the sound of swallowing saliva and heavy gasps.
The "good film" that appeared on the screen should be three according to the rating, the female lead is Ye Yuqing, and the male is Fang Zhongxin, overall, it is very boring, of course, this is for Jiang Che - the roommates clenched their fists one by one and paid full attention.
The film was played for half an hour, and they didn't say a word except for slapping each other's thighs a few times to express their emotions when the longing camera appeared......
Jiang Che was also slapped by Zheng Xinfeng, and at this time, Fang Zhongxin just pressed Ye Yuqing to the wall.
"Smack. ”
It's dark.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you doing, at the critical moment. ”
"What's going on?"
All kinds of panicked and anxious, even angry voices rang out.
"There's a power outage, and it probably won't come today. The hostess's voice rang out.
"What the hell, ...... came all the way here"
"Return the money. ”
"Yes, return the money. ”
The crowd began to rush in the direction where the voice of the proprietress came from in the darkness.
"Hey, any of you do me a favor, open the curtain first...... "The proprietress shouted, "Oh, which shit touched me?...... Who, oh the curtain is open!"
Obviously, the curtain was deliberately pulled by someone, and the whole space was pitch black.
"Don't move...... Holy shit, what are you picking!"
"Holy shit, don't move...... I called it. ”
The voice gradually cried, Jiang Che guessed that at this time, there were about a dozen hands touching the boss's wife, this was a depressing era, and these people, they had just been ignited......
If there is a first, there will be a second.
"What are we going to do?" asked one of the roommates in a voice that was pressed to his throat.
The others were silent, their minds in disarray.
If something goes on like this, if something really happens, it is estimated that people will be investigated in the future...... Jiang Che judged.
He doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but in the current situation, he just escaped by himself, and he was afraid that he would be remembered, after all, he was too handsome!
With an arrow step, his body knocked over the stool, Jiang Che staggered forward in several steps, and slammed into the person who was pulling the door curtain and pulled the door curtain.
With a "tearing" sound, the entire curtain was pulled down by him......
"You're not afraid of going to jail?!" Jiang Che roared.
With the faint light restored, everyone was stunned, and then starting with the few people closest to the proprietress and the crowd pushed and began to rush out of the door as fast as possible.
"What about us?" asked Zheng Xinfeng blankly.
"Let's go, it's none of our business, it's good that nothing happens. ”
Jiang Che turned his head to look at the proprietress, pulled his roommate, and rushed out of the video hall with the crowd.
……
The street lights were dim, and eight people were running on the empty road on an April night.
The excitement continues...... Sweat on the forehead.
Some people are running, giggling, looking at their hands...... "witnessing" the scene just now, even if they don't actually get started, there is a feeling of a participant.
"Let's be honest with our own people, did anyone touch it?" asked one of the roommates.
"No, I want to come, I don't dare. "Several answers.
"I seem to see Lao Wu jump forward. Another said.
"Fart...... Well, I went, but couldn't squeeze in...... I touched it twice, and it turned out to be a man, which scared me...... He seems to be about to be touched by me and cry. Roommate Lao Wu said with a smile.
There was a burst of laughter.
