In order to be able to keep abreast of the news of the stock market, Xiao Zhenlei sent someone to rent a house near the Zhongye Office, and asked the Concession Telephone Bureau to pull a telephone line to install the telephone, and there were five people stationed here, one person was responsible for answering the telephone and using the telephone to transmit the latest news of various rubber stocks to the Huade Road Villa, two people squatted in the Zhongye Office to listen to the news, and two people were responsible for the purchase and sale of stocks.

In 1869, a number of foreign businessmen set up a foreign firm in Shanghai to buy and sell stocks, which was called the "Donor Association" at that time. In 1891, foreign businessmen established the Shanghai Joint Stock Office in Shanghai, and in 1905, the office was named "Shanghai Zhongye Public Office", and the main trading objects of the exchange were foreign enterprise stocks, corporate bonds, bonds issued by foreign administrative agencies in Shanghai, gold coin bonds of the Qing government, and rubber stocks in the Nanyang area, which was the origin of Zhongye Public Office, and at this time Shanghai Beach did not have Chinese's own stock exchange.

In addition to the arrangement of the Zhongye Office, Xiao Zhenlei also sent people to rent a house near each of the major foreign banks in Shanghai as a base to listen to stock news and buy and sell stocks, and these bases were also equipped with telephones to facilitate contact, these foreign banks are HSBC, Deutsch-Hua Bank, Yokohama Zhengjin Bank, Crédit Agricole CIB, Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank, Citibank, and so on.

The reason why Xiao Zhenlei wants to rent a house near these banks and install a phone is to see which rubber company issues shares in these banks and what the stock price is at the first time, because the rubber plantation of the rubber company is not in Shanghai Tang, whether the rubber company has a rubber plantation, whether it has produced rubber, these are not clear, at least the people on the beach are not clear, in order to win the trust of the people in Shanghai, and to be able to sell their rubber stocks smoothly. The bosses of those rubber companies generally seek guarantees from foreign banks, and with the guarantee of foreign banks, they can win the trust of the people in Shanghai and buy his shares, and these rubber companies generally sell their shares in front of the guaranteed banks.

In the Huade Road villa, Xiao Zhenlei was sitting behind the desk in the study on the second floor smoking a cigarette, and Li Shulin walked in and reported: "Sir, according to your instructions, all the qiē have been prepared and can enter the rubber stock market at any time!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei got up and walked to the window, opened the glass window, looked at the sail shadow on the Huangpu River in the distance, took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Tell me about the stock prices of rubber stocks today!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Li Shulin was obviously prepared, and when he heard this, he immediately opened a notebook in his hand and read: "Today's opening price, the share price of Langezhi is 122 taels, the share price of Sini Wang is 88.5 taels, the share price of Pirek is 75.5 taels, the share price of Kalu Montaon is 72 taels, the share price of Xiangmao Rubber is 68 taels, and the share price of Weighbridge Company is 52 taels ........"

"How does it compare to the stock price the other day?"

Li Shulin said: "Most of them have risen slightly, but not much!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and thought for a few seconds before ordering: "Our funds are enough, but the movement into the stock market should not be too large, otherwise it is easy to raise the stock price prematurely, and it is we who will suffer losses, so let's not worry, so let's order each group, according to the price you just now, each stock is limited to ten shares today, don't do more!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After a while, Li Shulin came back, and he reported: "Sir, all thirteen stocks have bought ten shares each, and only four stocks have not been listed for sale at yesterday's closing price, and they are .......".

"Oh?" Xiao Zhenlei turned around when he heard this, smoked a cigarette and thought, and thought for a while and ordered: "Let our people list on the Zhongye Gong, and buy 1,000 shares each at the price of five coins of silver on the basis of yesterday's closing price, and the number of purchases should not be announced until the purchase is full."

The stock prices of these four stocks that no one sold are basically not high, and the number of shares issued by these companies is not large, after all, compared to the earliest rubber companies such as Langezhi, their scale is much smaller, their strength is weaker, and the issue stock price is of course much lower, even if they buy a hundred shares each, they can't spend much money, so why not list and buy more at this price? There is a small company that has only issued 10,000 shares, and the stock price per share is now only a dozen yuan. If the price is raised a little bit, other shareholders may wait and see, until the stock price rises to a price they can't help but make a move, but now there is more than a year before the rubber stock market crash, Xiao Zhenlei thinks that this is not cost-effective, since he wants to sit in the village, he has to make a big deal, and this big deal must be carried out quietly, can not let the shrewd people wandering in the stock market see the clues, nor can the bosses of the rubber companies find out the abnormal situation, and really do not quietly enter the village and shoot guns.

"Yes, sir!"

In the afternoon, the situation in the stock market has changed slightly, Xiao Zhenlei finished lunch and lay on the balcony on the second floor to take a nap, not long after waking up, Li Shulin came over and reported: "We have bought some of the four stocks, but now someone has listed one or two silver on the basis of our purchase price to sell ten shares, our people immediately noticed, and sent someone to investigate, and found that the listed person who sold the stock was the person from the rubber company!" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hearing this, Xiao Zhenlei immediately sat up from the recliner.

Li Shulin nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said while taking out a cigarette: "It seems that the bosses of these companies want to take this opportunity to raise their company's stock price and make a profit!" ”

"So what do we do now? To accept or not to collect? ”

Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and smoked it, thought for a while and ordered: "If you don't accept it, immediately order our people to take down the purchase card, put it up for sale, and sell the stock received today at yesterday's closing price!" ”

Li Shulin was stunned, he didn't understand why Xiao Zhenlei arranged it like this, didn't he obviously want to lose money? I just bought it at a price of five more coins, and now I sell it at a reduced price of five coins, so don't you lose money or what?

"This ...... Sir, sell them all? ”

Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand and said, "You are selling it now, it depends on the situation!" ”

"Yes!" Li Shulin agreed, and then retreated.

After Xiao Zhenlei used this trick, he confused the people who were listing and selling stocks, and at the same time made the people who were wandering around the public office dizzy, and many people said that these people were stupid, right? The stocks that I just bought for 5125 yuan are now being sold at a reduced price, is it possible that these people have too much money to spend, so they can only use this way?

In any case, someone sold the stock at a low price, and naturally some people couldn't help but buy some and came in, and the person who was listed and sold at a high price saw this, and immediately sent someone out of the Zhongye Office, apparently reporting to his boss.

Soon, the people who sold the high-priced sign seemed to have received a notice, and they took down the sign and left the Zhongye Office.

When Xiao Zhenlei's people saw this situation, they immediately sent someone to report to Huade Road Villa, and Li Shulin, who received the call, put down the phone and walked quickly to report to Xiao Zhenlei: "Sir, the people from the listed stock company have withdrawn the sign and left, do we also want to take down the sold brand here?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded, "Of course, immediately notify them to take down the sale card, hang out the purchase sign, and buy it at a lower price!" ”

Li Shulin was a little stupid, "This, sir, if you do this, will someone sell it to us?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "No matter whether anyone sells it to us or not, our purpose is to suppress the stock price, no one may sell the stock in their hands within a day or two, but after a long time, some people will be upset and irritable, worried that the stock price will fall sharply, and some people will not be able to help but make a move!" ”
