On the afternoon of March 8, when more than one million shareholders had gathered on the streets of Zhonghai City, the tired and anxious people finally could not support the tense atmosphere. Like the organization of the queuers, the shockers also organized and attacked at the positions in front of them.

The people outside the team pinched their fingers and counted, yes, this time a total of 5 million watches were sold, which was only enough for 500,000 people to buy! This means that the people at the back of the queue can't buy it at all, and at most half of the more than one million people can buy the lottery ticket, so all the people behind them have joined the ranks of the shockers, trying to get their place at the front.

However, the people in front of them are naturally not happy, and the people in front of them strictly guard their positions, as if they are guarding their property and lives. Under the blue sky, in the scorching sun, roll over, roll over, roll like a tide. The rope has long been lost, and even if it is not lost, no one will catch it, and the only thing that can be relied on is one's own body.

In order to prevent being washed away, rushing out of the team, people raised their arms and hugged their waists, without age and gender, without shyness and strangeness, without love and hate, nearly a million people were connected like this, surrounded by **, passion, irritability, fear and suffocating sweat. Many people have not touched a drop of water for 20 hours, a grain of rice has not been eaten, men are scolding, women are sobbing, children are crying, and old people are wheezing...... This scene was originally a prediction of impending disaster, but no one flinched. Those who don't know each other are still encouraging each other: "Persistence is victory!"

These people, who regard the position they are standing in as the door to the road to wealth, will naturally not easily give up their position.

The government also had a premonition that something was going to happen, and the command led by Li Bojin urgently dispatched the police, and then the army was also dispatched, and the military police marched in at a neat pace, trotting all the way in, holding batons in their hands, forming a human wall, driving the attackers outside, and the people in the team staggered to their footing and regained their self-confidence.

However, before they could catch their breath, they found that there was a new trouble, and their support groups were all driven away, that is, from now on, they could not deliver food during the day, clothes could not be delivered at night, water could not be delivered under the scorching sun, and umbrellas could not be held in the rainstorm, and only a large number of ID cards were left for them to carry.

But there's something even more unbearable: whoever leaves the party to go to the toilet never wants to come back! A man said "Mind the sky, and let me shit and fart" and went to the toilet.

The police really couldn't control his "shit and fart", but refused to let him return to the team. There must have been more than one person who lost their place after a trip to the toilet, but most people finally persevered until the evening, and under the cover of night, coupled with a blind eye, people in lunch boxes and newspapers, and peed in mineral water bottles. Some people couldn't find these things, so they squatted on the ground. Then, when the day dawned, the sun came out, the temperature rose mercilessly, and the tortured crowd added new torment.

This situation was probably something that Liu Xun didn't expect in advance, and he, who had been observing the long queue at the sales point nearby, had to sigh at this time, "The taste of the entire Zhonghai has changed." ”

At this time, Li Bojin really regretted it, regretting that he had proposed to use the lottery method to issue new shares, and now it seems that this is a wrong decision that can not be wrong, he can only pray at this time, pray that there will be no chaos, and pray that he can survive tomorrow.

In the early morning of March 9, most of the people in line had been holding out for forty-eight hours and were already exhausted. The dawn came out again, splashing on the body, so vicious and dizzying, but people all cheered up, rubbed their eyes, and looked in one direction.

Lao He and Liu Zejun finally breathed a sigh of relief, after staying up for so long, they were finally going to come out, if they waited any longer, they didn't know if the people they hired could still stand up.

At nine o'clock, cash trucks with "subscription forms" and armed police guards armed with spears and steel helmets drove up. Normally, this would have quieted people down, but not today. The moment the window for selling forms opened, there was a lot of people in front of you, and people in the back rushed forward, all of them were united, and the crowd was higher and higher. Those small windows are like a small boat in the surging waves, stormy and stormy.

"Everyone has forgotten what personality, morality and self-esteem are," this is how Lao He described the situation when he recalled a few years later: "On this day, Zhonghai seems to have nothing but the form, and I will never forget that day, of course, it was also the day I made a fortune, without that day, and without today's ......"

At this moment, the people who were waiting outside to buy the lottery tickets did not know that the atmosphere in the watch window was no more relaxed than outside.

Behind the watch window, although the air conditioning in the hall was turned on, it was still very stuffy, all the money handed in was soaked, the money counter failed, and the salesman had to spread the banknotes on the table one by one and dry them with toilet paper. Since opening the box and counting the number of subscription forms, everyone has been desperately enduring the excitement in their hearts, looking left and right while selling, and frequently observing the faces and actions of others. Although Yue Zhonghe held a meeting yesterday to remind everyone to abide by the law, everyone is a person in the circle, and there is no reason to do it.

In fact, each of them has a lot of ID cards locked in drawers, and tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of private cash have been put into their coffers early, in order to privately divide the lottery form. According to the investigation after the fact, these people, each of them privately divided hundreds of thousands of lottery sheets, some, simply the whole box was greedy for ink, afterwards a foreign security guard recalled, he was the smallest person in it, the least, only 150, it can be seen how much others privately divided.

Others don't know what is happening behind the watch window, but Liu Xun doesn't know that history is playing out as always, on the morning of March 9, starting from the sale of watches, in less than two hours, the city's sales points have announced that the sale activities have ended.

What makes Lao He feel very lucky but disappointed is that the more than 6,000 people he hired, because the people in the early stage lined up in the front position, a total of more than 3,000 people bought the lottery table, a total of more than 3 million new shares, compared to most people It is also a lot of gains, although it is not yet possible to see how much benefit can be obtained, of course, only more than 3,000 people have bought shares, there are more than 2,000 people, that is completely in vain, Lao He was originally going to send these people back immediately, but Liu Xun has another idea, Let Lao He leave about 4,000 people and 40,000 ID cards here.

Lao He and Liu Zejun wanted to ask Liu Xun, obviously the lottery form was sold out, why did they keep these people, but Liu Xun smiled incomprecably and told them that they would know in two days, and when the time came, these people would still be of great use.

Leaving Liu Xun aside and talking about the shareholders, the people who sold the form ran away, but the people who bought the form were still kept in the dark, they didn't know what was going on at this time, but the paper couldn't hold the fire, and sooner or later it would be exposed.

The people in the back didn't know that the window in front of them was closed, so they rushed forward more violently, and the people in front of them rushed out even more violently, like waves crashing against rocks, which was terrifying. Now it's the turn of the police to go crazy. Shouting, swearing, or even fists are useless, waving batons in a hurry.

At this time, the news of the sale of lottery tickets has begun to spread among shareholders, and after a period of confusion when they first heard the news, tyrannical emotions began to brew in the sky above Zhonghai City.

Why, why did the queue for days be fruitless? Why, why did the five million lottery tickets sell out in less than two hours?

Shareholders quickly considered the possible cattiness here, but since the afternoon of the 9th, the iron doors of Zhonghai's banks or securities companies have been locked, making the crowd waiting in line outside more and more disappointed and angry.

It is conceivable that some people have been queuing up since the night before, sleepless all night, and the next day during the day when they are hungry and thirsty, and are constantly beaten by the security guards for no reason, but still find nothing, plus they know that some insiders bought the lottery table without much effort, and some people broke the whole box of lottery tickets on the spot and were accidentally spilled into the ground by the staff from the sale point, and the anger in the hearts of the shareholders can be imagined.

Eventually, the anger erupted on the night of the 10th, when people began to smash the windows of the street with bricks and the like, an unattended car was overturned, lit and burned, and crowds of outsiders who failed to buy lottery tickets gathered in the streets.

On the evening of March 10, after waiting for two days and two nights and not being able to buy a watch, and discovering that someone had cheated, thousands of shareholders began to gather and watch, and then marched along Shennan Middle Road in the direction of the city government with banners of "Resolutely oppose cheating", "oppose corruption", and "We want fairness, we want stocks".

The situation deteriorated around 8 p.m., with tens of thousands of people surrounding the city hall and blocking Shennan Middle Road, disrupting traffic. As the situation developed further, a small number of people began to use violence, smashing cars and motorcycles, and attacking police officers on duty, some of whom burned two cars and four motorcycles near the Bank of Communications on Hongli Road, and overturned four cars. When the armed police went to maintain order, a number of police officers were injured. In the chaos there were casualties.

The incident lasted until the early morning of the next day, with 20,000 or 30,000 onlookers. Shennan Middle Road, the main traffic artery of Zhonghai, and the avenue in front of the Zhonghai Municipal Government were blocked, and the relevant departments had to use tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd.
