Chapter 1 Stocks Can Kill People!
In the midsummer of 1994, the climate in Shanghai was as humid and muggy as ever.
There were only a few clouds in the blue sky, and the scorching sun baked the not very wide asphalt road, and the roasted asphalt emitted a faint smell of rubber, as if it would stick to the soles of your shoes if you stepped on it.
There was not a trace of wind in the streets, and the plane trees on the side of the street drooped in frustration, leaving only the Zhizhi on the trees to roar vigorously.
Crescent Moon Village is a six-storey new public housing located in the northeast corner of downtown Shanghai.
In the 70s, it was just a barren farmland full of garbage and stinking ditches, but after 20 years of construction, it has become one of the best residential areas in Shanghai at this time.
When the vast number of Shanghai people are still living in the same house for three generations, crammed into a leaky Shikumen house, brushing the toilet and burning the briquette stove, and squeezing in front of a public faucet to wash clothes and vegetables, the house with a flush toilet and independent kitchen and bathroom in Wanyue New Village is simply synonymous with successful people.
Now the post-80s generation, who are now known as "otaku" and "**silk", are still just playful children in their 10s.
At that time, there was no air conditioning in the homes of ordinary residents, and the small and stuffy rooms could not calm the minds of children. On the side of the street, in the alleys, there are naughty children everywhere who are not afraid of the heat.
They are either in groups of three or five playing glass marbles, patting cigarette brands, or holding poles and sticks to catch and poke ant nests to play. If anyone can get some pocket money from adults to buy a water gun, they can become a star and be sought after by everyone.
"Kick and kick, oh~, boom~, boom~" Accompanied by the familiar classic game music of the red and white machine, a 10-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth is staring intently at the TV screen.
"Da Da, Da ......" In the 21-inch Venus color TV screen, a small figure with rough pixels jumps up and down to the accompaniment of electronic music, and the muzzle of the fire-breathing gun tears apart all the enemies in its way.
"Smack!" A sinister sniper pokes his head out of the bushes and ends the villain's short life with a single shot, and a large "gameover" word rises on the TV screen.
"Ahh The little boy screamed in frustration. He's been working hard for 2 hours now, but the game's endless enemies have kept his record from the first three levels.
"Three lives are completely insufficient." The little boy complained silently in his heart.
The middle-aged woman who was taking a nap on the side was woken up by game music and the sound of the little boy, she frowned and ran to the TV to turn off the main switch with a "click", and yelled at the disappointed little boy: "Sun Haoyang!" Don't play games anymore, you'll be blind if you play again, go out and play with children! ”
The little boy named Sun Haoyang looked pitifully at the pitch-black TV screen, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother's decision.
Reluctantly, he got up from the floor, scratched his head and thought about it, and dragged out a pair of four-wheeled skates made of pure iron from under the bed. As soon as he walked to the door, he seemed to think of something, turned back and took out a baby head ice cream from the refrigerator, and then ran out with a cigarette in satisfaction.
Sun Haoyang's father was originally an engineer in a coated paper factory, and the economic turmoil in the late 80s made a large number of state-owned enterprises inefficient, so he responded to the country's call to simply resign and go to the sea to do business, and opened a business with a friend to start a printing business.
The early 90s were a paradise for entrepreneurs, full of gold, and anyone with a little business acumen made a lot of money. Sun Haoyang and his family were fortunate to become the first batch of people to get rich, and Sun Haoyang was honored to become the first batch of rich second generations.
Doll's head ice cream, ice skates, these snacks and equipment are absolutely unique among children of their age.
For an ordinary enterprise worker family with a total income of only 180 yuan per month, the cost of a few cents a piece of ice cream and a pair of skates for dozens of yuan is really unbearable, not to mention the luxury goods such as color TVs, refrigerators, and red and white game consoles.
Sun Haoyang licked the ice cream and turned into a narrow and dim alley next door to Wanyue New Village, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Wheat, wheat, come out to play!" ”
"It's coming, it's coming!" A small head poked out from behind a mottled wooden door in the Shikumen alley, and this person was the wheat in Sun Haoyang's mouth, his elementary school classmate, whose full name was Pang Maizi.
"Where's the water gun?"
"Take it." Maizi shook the rubber hose in his hand.
The water gun was a cheap handmade toy of the era, which made a simple water gun by tying a rubber tube used as an intravenous pressure belt in the hospital at one end and putting a ball-free ballpoint pen refill on the other.
"Hurry up and fill it with water."
Maizi nodded, skillfully snapped the rubber tube tightly on the public faucet, and carefully unscrewed the switch, and with the injection of water, the originally slender rubber tube slowly expanded into a transparent water sausage that could be blown and broken.
Seeing that the water sausage was getting bigger and bigger, Sun Haoyang reminded: "Enough, don't pour too much, be careful to burst it." ”
Maizi nodded, carefully holding the "water sausage" and following behind Sun Haoyang.
"One step, two steps, one step at a time, like a minion, like a devil's pace, like a devil's pace~" Sun Haoyang hummed an improvised incomprehensible ballad while skillfully rollerblading.
Ice skating is a physical job, especially in such a hot day. After a while, Sun Haoyang was already sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Maizi followed closely behind like a little follower: "Brother Sun, are you tired, why don't you rest for a while and change me." ”
Sun Haoyang picked up his sweatshirt and wiped the sweat on his face and said, "Find a cool place to rest first, this ghost weather is too hot." ”
Maizi thought for a moment and gave him an idea: "I know that there is a house across the road, and it is as cool as winter, just like ...... It's like a cold storage in a meat factory. ”
"That must be the air conditioner." Sun Haoyang, the rich second generation, is obviously more knowledgeable than the partner next to him: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
The house Maizi said was not far away, and on a small two-story building, a signboard of "Tianhe Securities" hung outside the door.
On a hot day, the doors and windows of the house were closed, and through the windows, I could see that the room was crowded, and they craned their necks and didn't know what they were looking at.
As soon as Sun Haoyang walked to the door of the hall, he felt a refreshing coolness hit him, and the 36,000 pores on his body were indescribably comfortable. The source of the cool breeze is a vertical air conditioner imported from Japan in the corner of the hall.
The room was full of people, all staring at a large green electronic screen on the wall that kept tumbling or whispering, or talking loudly, and from time to time someone lowered their heads and holding a BP machine in thought.
On the other side of the hall, a little old man in a security uniform was patting his ass with a smile on his face: "Manager Pan, you are still clever in this trick." The stock market has fallen so badly, other securities companies are crowded, but here it is a lot of people. It's amazing that you've come up with an air conditioner to attract customers. ”
The middle-aged man known as Manager Pan didn't show a trace of joy on his face after hearing this, he shook his head with a tense face and said, "What's the use of a lot of people, they are all here to crawl on the air conditioner." You don't look at the fact that you haven't received a few orders on the counter in an afternoon, and the commission you earn is probably not enough to pay the electricity bill. ”
"You can't say that, although the market is not good now, there will always be a better day, so many people are here that is popular, as long as the market improves one day, you will not make money."
Manager Pan's face softened slightly, nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly his eyes focused on a few little ghosts squatting at the door, so he beckoned to the security guard: "Lao Fu, go and drive those little ghosts away at the door." This air conditioner is used to drill all kinds of people here. Don't put people who are not speculating in stocks in the future. ”
So before Sun Haoyang could enjoy themselves in the securities hall for a long time, they were driven out by a tiger-faced security guard: "Go out, go out, this is not a place for children." If you don't go out again, the police will come to arrest you. ”
The 10-year-old child couldn't tell the difference between the police and the security guard, and he was still quite scared to see the uniformed security guard, so the friends scattered in a hurry.
Sun Haoyang thought while running home, the air conditioner is really amazing, this cool breeze blowing on the body is more refreshing than eating ice cream, and you must pester your parents to buy one when you go back. It would be nice to be able to play a game and blow the air conditioner at the same time.
As soon as he walked to the door, Sun Haoyang realized that the atmosphere was not right.
The door of the house was open, and the parents were arguing in the house, and the sound of falling things was heard: "Bang! Nong Die only shot the ghost, Ga Du Forehead Affair Nong actually dared to hide from me Ga many Chenguang! If it hadn't been for Lao Wang's call, I would still be in the dark by Nong! Nong wants to take the whole house and lose it! ”
"I also wanted to make some money, but I didn't expect the stock to fall so badly later......"
"200,000! 200,000! Nong lost a full 200,000 yuan! Nong, how can I live in the future? Woo woo woo~"
"Mom is in a bad mood, it seems that the matter of buying an air conditioner will have to be talked about later." Sun Haoyang thought about pushing the door in to comfort his mother: "Mom, what's wrong with you, don't cry." ”
"Sun Haoyang, your father who shot the ghost has ruined the whole family, it's all gone, and we still owe a lot of debts to others~ Wow......"
Night fell, and no one turned on the lights in the house. Sun Haoyang's mother may have cried and slept in the room, while Sun Haoyang's father sat on the sofa without saying a word, just smoking a cigarette.
"Gollum" Sun Haoyang felt hungry, so he ran to find his mother: "Mom, Mom, I'm hungry, what do I have for dinner?" ”
Sun Haoyang's mother didn't respond, she still slept soundly, Sun Haoyang couldn't call her mother, so she could only go to the living room and call her father: "Dad, Dad, I'm hungry, what do I have for dinner?" ”
"Don't bother me now!" Dad glared at Sun Haoyang viciously with bloodshot eyes.
Sun Haoyang was obviously frightened by his father's vicious eyes, so he could only go to his mother again: "Mom, Mom, wake up quickly, I'm hungry!" Mom still didn't respond.
Sun Haoyang fumbled and turned on the light in the room, and saw his mother lying on the bed like a dead person, and a suicide note pressed under an empty bottle of sleeping pills on the bedside table!
"Mom! Mom! Don't scare me! Although 11-year-old Sun Haoyang still can't quite understand the content of his parents' quarrel, he still understands what sleeping pills and suicide notes represent.
"Daddy! Mom is committing suicide! Call an ambulance! ”
