Chapter 4: Hell and Heaven
After all these years of wandering, his hometown is just a node of Chen Chu's journey, and he rarely pays attention to her changes, and he doesn't like it very much.
Now, the car is driving on the winter street again, although the green belt on both sides is still withered yellow weeds and dry branches, but the grass and the occasional residual snow under the trees have aroused the wanderer's strong feelings, in Chen Chu's eyes, it seems that the sky is also high, the road is wide, the pedestrians on the road are laughing to their heart's content, the buildings on the side of the road are growing vigorously, and he likes this hometown where he was born and raised.
Chen Chu never dreamed that one day he would be able to see the sky of his hometown in the nineties.
Today, February 27, 1995, in the second quarter of the morning trading time of the Dalian Commodity Exchange, Chen Chu pinched the time, and when the minute and hour hands stayed at 11:18, he had a face of ambition to win, and handed the unit and individual in his hand more than a dozen orders for opening positions, which were almost full, to the futures company's reporter, "Pay attention to the interval, about half a minute for an order, the market price!" ”
Chen Chu remembers very well that when the articulate declaration lady used a direct phone to report these warehouse receipts to the red vest in the field before the close of the market in the morning, what he thought in his heart was: In a few days, the third brother and sister-in-law will be able to purchase the whole car and the whole car, and the cost should be reduced...... Wait, in short, it's all about beautiful things.
Who would have thought that Chen Chu, who wanted to make a short term in and out quickly, and take advantage of the chaos to earn two quick money to spend, gave the unit's grain payment, the savings of him, Chang Zheng and his family to the market.
Before the market opened the next morning, the account manager of Wanjin Futures Brokerage Company found Chen Chu, who was sitting in front of the screen in frustration, and left Chen Chu a margin call, because the available funds in his account could no longer maintain the contract he had opened before.
Since the Provincial Grain and Oil Storage and Transportation Corporation is the controlling shareholder of Wanjin Futures, Chen Chu, who is in the Trade Department of the Provincial Grain and Oil Storage and Transportation Corporation, has always been dissatisfied with such notices, and the fierce battle between the long and short sides at that time was in full swing, and the disk fluctuated greatly, and the floating profit and loss of the settlement reserve naturally changed very quickly.
At the beginning of the afternoon trading session of the next day (February 28), Chang Zheng also rushed from the party school, and saw that Chen Chu had some gains and losses, and when he wanted to correct his judgment and admit compensation and leave the market several times, as a leader and close friend, Chang Zheng adhered to his original intention and encouraged Chen Chu to rather blow up his position than fall down in the last kilometer leading to victory.
As a result, on the third day of the opening, that is, on March 1, 1995, the futures price gapped, and about half a minute after the continuous trading began, the C505 contract, the main variety of corn on the Dalian Commodity Exchange (delivered in May '95), with a rapidly enlarged trading volume, ran over the resistance level of 1280 yuan/ton in one fell swoop.
At that time, there was no real-time trading system between futures brokerage companies and exchanges, and they all relied on satellite stations to receive quotes, and reported customer warehouse receipts to the market representative (red vest) through a direct telephone, and then the market representative entered the on-site trading system for matchmaking.
This corn contract was used as a prefix for another contract that caused a lot of confusion in later generations, and it was simply disclosed by people, and every time he saw the related topics of this contract on the Internet, Chen Chu inevitably had a sore tooth for a few moments.
The consequences of the liquidation were very strict, not only the Ministry of Trade, Chen Chu, and Chang Zheng's personal funds totaled 1.25 million yuan, but also owed more than 100,000 yuan to the futures company.
Wanjin Futures is not far from the office building of the storage and transportation company, and half an hour later, Chang Zheng and Chen Chu walked into the office of Liu Qingshan, deputy director of the Provincial Food Department and general manager of the Provincial Storage and Transportation Corporation.
After some investigation, the final result of the company's handling was that Chang Zheng took all the responsibility and gave Chang Zheng a punishment of having a major administrative demerit, while Chen Chu, in accordance with the "Interim Regulations on the Evaluation of State Civil Servants" issued in March 1994, gave him an "incompetent" on the grounds of "causing strict mistakes in his work".
Not only that, but there are still a few people who have been indirectly implicated in this incident, and some people have even suffered greater losses than Chen Chu and his family, so after confirming that he was reborn, Chen Chu's joy is indescribable, and he finally has the opportunity to unload the mental burden that has been pressing him for so many years.
In fact, Chen Chu's disk feeling and analytical ability are still outstanding, he entered the Provincial Food Department with a master's degree in finance from Songjiang University, so after the liquidation, Chen Chu used the 100,000 yuan made up by his parents and brothers and sisters, and finally got back the losses of the unit and individuals with interest in less than a year.
After a few years, after Chen Chu returned to China from study, when he got together with his friends and looked back on the past, he lamented the chaos of China's capital market in those years, and lamented the years of hell and heaven.
Now that he has been reborn, Chen Chu can't help but laugh and sigh that this chaotic capital market is full of gold for him......
For more than ten years before Chen Chu's rebirth, he had been living in the Lingnan area, and had his own house in Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Haizhu and the hometown of the great man.
Now, back on the street in 1995, although there are many cars on the road, they are only limited to the main road, and the scene of cars everywhere and exhaust fumes in the sky is completely different from the scene of later generations, which makes people feel comfortable.
Soon, the car turned into the street behind the Provincial Library, and Chen Chu's place where the horse had lost his feet, Wanjin Futures Brokerage Company, rented in the podium of the newly completed Provincial Library Annex Building.
At that time, there were not many private cars, there were a lot of parking places, next to the fountain at the entrance of the podium of the provincial annex building, a few cars were parked, Chen Chu parked the car next to a gray Jetta, picked up the handbag on the passenger seat, and took out the famous "square box" - Motorola consultant pager.
"Now, in addition to the analog signal of Big Brother, I don't know if the construction of the digital mobile phone system in Songjiang Province has started?" While muttering, Chen Chu pressed the pager screen and looked at the pager message given to him by Chang Zheng again:
The news is out, your judgment is so accurate! Don't worry about doing it boldly, if something happens, I'll carry it!
The last three words made Chen Chu grin, remembering that everyone had used local accents and colloquialisms to tease the girls in the paging station in the past.
This pager is the same as Chen Chu's memory, it came when he was about to leave the house, I remember that in the previous life, he immediately called back to communicate with Chang Zheng, and was complacent about the accuracy of his judgment, and now, Chen Chu wants to dissolve his long thoughts into the noon wine.
was sitting in the car thinking about meeting Chang Zheng at noon, and suddenly saw an acquaintance in the reversing mirror walking into the back door of the provincial map, and was shrinking his neck and tightening the collar of his coat with both hands to resist the cold wind, "Yao Li, hehe, this little body ......"
