Article 117 of the Criminal Law, promulgated in 1979, stipulates: "Whoever violates the laws and regulations on finance, foreign exchange, gold and silver, and industry and commerce, and the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and may be fined or confiscated property." “

As the name suggests, the crime of speculation is the crime of making huge profits by means of buying and selling short, hoarding, and arbitrage and reselling. The crime of speculation stipulated in the Criminal Law is not an ordinary act of speculation, but a "serious circumstance" of speculation.

Zhou Aifu has been washing his hands since last year, and he is no longer engaged in the work of his grandfather. The reason is that the state has controlled the actions of the fallen master in recent years, arrested a group of people, and many friends who used to work together have begun to change careers to other industries. No government is willing to ignore such profiteering activities that undermine normal economic behavior and allow them to develop.

Yang Quan's words made Zhou Aifu frown, he smoked a cigarette and thought quietly, his brain spinning rapidly under the stimulation of nicotine. A cigarette unconsciously burned red to the cigarette holder, and Zhou Aifu unconsciously lit another cigarette.

In his opinion, his nephew is also half of the people who have gone to college. From a string of unintelligible terms and data, he was very impressed by the price rise in the next year.

Zhou Aifu also knows that the vegetables have been more expensive recently, and he can guess that prices are rising, but he doesn't know what the reason for the rise is and why it is rising. Now Yang Quan has taken out a lot of data analysis to tell him that it is because the total social demand exceeds the total social supply, so it has risen.

Money is endless, and life is limited. If he is sentenced to speculation and imprisoned for hoarding goods to make money, and spends a short and limited life in a small prison, it is not an accounting deal in Zhou Aifu's view.

Zhou Aifu took a breath in a low voice and said, "This money is not easy to earn......."

Yang Quan looked at Zhou Aifu's embarrassed expression, and seemed to give up this action in judging the situation, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, think clearly, we are very short of money now." You're so small in the south that you don't have the money to expand.

Now that the Yangfan Freedom Engine Plant is short of one or two million yuan and waiting for new equipment and plant investment, we will not take advantage of this opportunity, and we will not know what kind of factory can be expanded by this step-by-step development? 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years, I don't know ......."

"We are hoarding and committing crimes, I don't want you and my grandfather to sit in prison for the rest of their lives"

Zhou Aifu lowered his voice and whispered, some words are afraid that the wall will have ears. He also knows that both of them have a gap in their careers, everyone knows that money is good, and now such a good opportunity is in front of him, and it is a waste not to cherish it.

"How are we committing a crime? Hoarding refers to hoarding scarce items, we only store some ordinary products, some steel used in our factories is just purchased in advance, how can it be called hoarding?

When the market price is high, we release some of the steel that cannot be used up. How can we call it a crime by not only calming the tight gap in the market, but also being able to withdraw funds and kill two birds with one stone?" Yang Quan stood and watched Zhou Aifu run the train with his mouth full of nonsense.

"Don't change concepts, you're just arguing with words. Your uncle and I are not stupid, this trick is the ...... I used when I was young" Zhou Aifu didn't listen to Yang Quan's words carefully, thinking about the pros and cons in the middle.

"We don't deal in everyday items. The price of rice, fresh pork, vegetables, fish, etc., which are closely related to life, will rise by more than 50%. We only engage in production supplies such as steel, cement, wood, and color TVs, which are not necessities of life. Yang Quan said.

"If you have the ability, you can try to make steel, you can try to get cement?" Zhou Aifu sat on the side of the quilt and spit out a smoke ring, and said back.

Vegetables are not easy to preserve, although the price increases and profits are large, but Zhou Aifu has never seen it. He hadn't poured steel and cement, but he could find a way out after a few hands, and he thought that the way should be the same as the clothes and other things he had poured before.

The fall of steel and cement is generally related, and most of them are "official falls". Officials are generally in the profiteering industry. Once, in a hotel somewhere, an official sold a steel bill of lading in his hand to another grandfather in the same room, and the price increased by 200 yuan per ton. The second inverted master sold the bill of lading to the third inverted master, and the price was increased by 200 yuan per ton. This series down, the price increase several lots.

Yang Quan said: "To sum up, we only do one industry, motorcycles!"

Zhou Aifu said: "You came to this conclusion in half a day? What is there to do with motorcycles, I would rather make a TV than choose a motorcycle." Every family wants to buy a TV, and motorcycles are not used every day, so the family will consider upgrading their bicycles to motorcycles when they are financially relaxed. Are you really thinking about this?"

Yang Quan shook his head and said: "As long as you say it yourself, don't regret it." We don't come out and call this to the big brother to do. If I don't find him something to do now, he will make trouble for me later, and it will be even more troublesome. ”

Yang Quan thought of TVs from the beginning, and last year's sales of TVs and washing machines exceeded market imagination.

The demand gap of 4 million units ensures sales. When the rush to buy blows, the market gap will cause people's shortage psychology, which will intensify the rush to buy TV in the market. Therefore, Yang Quan is very optimistic about this market, and there is no problem with hoarding TV sets for about a year.

And there are many black and white TV manufacturers,There are many directions to choose from,Not limited to one to get the goods,Of course, color TV is really very difficult to buy。

Television sets really began to become popular in the 80s, but color TVs were difficult to buy throughout the 80s. Before the first half of 1986, only imported original machines and 18-inch machines were tight on the market, and other returned domestic machines could still be placed on the counter.

From the second half of 1986, it was announced that color TVs were out of stock in stores, and color TV tickets appeared at the same time. In 1987, the "price" of a color TV ticket was 200 yuan, and later the price of a color TV ticket was more expensive than a black and white TV.

Zhou Aifu thought of Yang Wu's character and sighed. Carefully analyze the personalities of the three of them belong to the same type of people, and there is a blood in them. The three of them are looking for development opportunities and opportunities to realize the value of life by giving full play to their abilities.

And Zhou Aifu belongs to the tempering a few years in advance, and now he can analyze it alone. Yang Quan is from the perspective of historical people, interpreting the market can find opportunities. And the worst is Yang Wu, who has no enthusiasm but no experience and no golden finger.

Now that the matter has been decided, Yang Quan only needs to prepare a sum of money and hand over the money to Zhou Aifu. Yang Quan also knew in his heart that the price of steel and other materials would rise in the next year, and the amount of steel used in the production of engines was not very large, but he also had to make some preparations.
