Chapter 54: Shenzhen, Boiling (continued)
Shenzhen has a permanent population of 600,000, but two or three million people poured into the lottery table at once. There are people from all over the country, Beijingers, Shanghainese, Harbin, and Guangzhou...... As soon as they arrived, they put their luggage in front of the sales point and started queuing.
According to the fat man Zhou An, the soft-seat train ticket from Guangzhou to Shenzhen is more than 30 yuan, and it is currently sold for 200 yuan a ticket in the black market.
"Fortunately, I ordered a joint ticket, otherwise I would have spent a lot of unjust money." The fat man said happily.
In the second half of the night, many of the people in line were already extremely tired, wilting and napping together.
You think, two days and two nights of eating and sleeping in the open, two days and two nights of sun and rain, even the iron people are a little unbearable. Even the group of people found by Li Bayi were a little upset, but Yang Limin went to appease them, and Li Bayi also promised to wait for the new shares to subscribe to the lottery form, and everyone would give an extra ten yuan of consolation money, and everyone could barely cheer up.
Yang Limin didn't sleep this night, Li Bayi didn't sleep either, and they all held on.
Fortunately, there are some vendors who are selling mineral water, food, and oil in the queue...... They are also spreading gossip by the way.
It also brings fun to everyone.
After a while, it was rumored that the city government noticed that shareholders were queuing up enthusiastically, and decided to expand the number of new shares issued, and each successful person could subscribe for 1,500 shares; Legend has it that the sales outlets will sell the lottery at 6 a.m. early.
Then someone talked about Shenzhen's first sale of subscription lottery forms last year.
It is said that there is an old lady surnamed Fang, and her daughter-in-law has to go to work and ask the old lady to take 6,000 yuan to the bank to apply for a one-year fixed deposit. When I arrived at the bank, the staff was promoting the benefits of buying a subscription warrant to the customer, and persuaded the old lady to buy a subscription warrant, which was more cost-effective than the old lady saving her money for a year.
Of course, the bank was also trying to sell a little more on the last day of the issue, and the old lady was skeptical and bought 200 subscription warrants.
After the daughter-in-law returned, the old lady repeated to her daughter-in-law what the bank staff had explained to her, but the daughter-in-law did not listen to these words, and was furious and asked the old lady to return.
The old lady went to return the next day and was told that the subscription had ended and could not be refunded. The old lady thought about it horizontally, and in order to settle the matter, she had to take out her unexpired deposit and use 6,000 yuan to get a one-year deposit certificate for her daughter-in-law.
Later, the subscription warrant became a hot topic in the society, and the identity of the old lady suddenly became a millionaire woman, and the daughter-in-law knew the truth of the facts, and once again turned against her, in order to compete for the ownership of these two hundred subscription warrants, she quarreled with the old lady again, so that she finally went to court.
Last year, Shenzhen offered its first IPO subscription lottery form at a price of only one yuan. At this time, the price of the lottery table has risen to 100 yuan a piece. You can imagine what the person who bought the subscription lottery form at that time looked like.
Speaking of this kind of thing, the big guy is very interested, and the topic is becoming more and more bizarre. But these news circulated in the queue, but again and again the mood of the queue was lifted.
The fat man Zhou An also joined in the fun and told a story in Shanghai.
"There was a young man surnamed Zhang, he was a reporter in a newspaper, after hearing the news, he was ready to buy 200 subscription warrants, but he had been hesitant until the afternoon of the last day of the deadline with 6,000 yuan to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, just walked to the window and took out the money, only to hear the salesman and a young lady next to him whispering: 'There is another rush', this friend suddenly became self-esteem, put away the money without saying a word, and walked away. At this glance, millions of fortunes and Xiao Zhang missed. ”
"Snort-" Li Bayi couldn't help laughing, this fat man was too funny.
"How?" Yang Limin, Liu Lan, and Li Bei were listening to it fascinated, and suddenly saw Li Bayi laughing, and said a little puzzled.
"I've heard this version in Shanghai, but the protagonist of the story is not the journalist Xiao Zhang, but a middle school teacher surnamed Li." Li Bayi.
"Is this 'punch' a journalist or a teacher?" Liu Lan blurted out.
Before Li Bayi could answer, **Sheng happened to come back from patrolling other outlets, and when he heard the words of Zhou An and Li Bayi, he couldn't help but smile: "It may be a little security guard surnamed Ma!" ”
Liu Lan and Li Bei didn't understand yet, but the people in line next to them laughed.
Oh, yes! When a matter is relayed by different people, not only will the number of people become larger and larger, but even the person concerned will change from students to workers, teenagers to old people, and even men to women.
This is not surprising, there should be such a thing, there are pies in the sky, and there are many people who step on gold but rub their feet with gold. However, these stories have stimulated the excitement of the queue even more.
"Nothing stopped us from queuing. We only need to stay here for two days and two nights, buy the lottery table, and the winning rate is 10%! As long as you win the lottery, with the popularity of the stock market at this time, the money invested in buying new shares can be doubled at once. After two days and two nights of eating and sleeping in the open, the wealth doubled, and it was worth it. ”
The hearts of the people were on fire.
More than 80 percent of the people in the queue are young people, and although the weather is very hot, and even heavy rain has fallen in the middle, they have to endure mosquito bites without sleep for two days and two nights, and always smell the smell of feces and urine in the air, but no matter how tired they are, everyone is still full of interest when it comes to new stocks, and very few people retreat.
This frenzied atmosphere infected everyone at the scene, including Li Bei, Liu Lan and Yang Limin.
Especially ** Sheng, Zhang Haitao, uncle Guo Yufang, little sister Li Lian and sister Han Zhen, although they did not participate in the queue, they almost did not squint for two days and two nights, and frequently went back and forth between the nine outlets, and I don't know how many roads they walked in these two days and two nights.
Fathers Li Yuanfang and Feng Mingyong didn't sleep much, although they were persuaded to go back to the hotel to rest, they came back to help in less than half an hour.
At a time when the whole city is boiling, no one can sleep peacefully.
**Sheng was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, but after two days and two nights of tossing, a thick layer of salt flowers had formed on it, and his hair had been hardened into strands because of sweat.
There was a rancid smell around him, and at this time, even he couldn't tell whether the smell was his own or someone else's.
On August 9, the dawn appeared.
"It's dawn."
"It's about to begin."
When the long night passed and a red sun jumped out of the sea level, the crowd in line suddenly became excited.
Everyone swept away the lazy and weak mental appearance, and everyone was in good spirits, and the people in line began to stand up, kick away the stools under their feet one by one, and then stick tightly to one by one, the main purpose is to prevent others from cutting in line.
