Chapter 33: Speculation
A few days later, the 3rd National Urban Games came to a successful conclusion. Guo Zizhao and his delegation returned to Rongcheng after a day and two nights of train again.
In the evening, I still had dinner at Uncle Li's house, and Guo Zizhao and his father also gave some gifts bought from Jinling. Two boxes of salted duck, two boxes of rain flower tea, and a piece of rain flower stone ornament carefully selected by Guo Zizhao. This thing is not cheap, it cost Guo Zizhao hundreds of oceans.
"Well, yes, yes." Uncle Li admired it carefully and exclaimed, "It's really ingenious and colorful." This rain flower stone is also known as the five-color stone, the six-way stone, according to legend, it is the leftover of the five-color stone obtained by Nuwa to make up the sky. The prototype of the famous Tongling Jade in the Dream of Red Mansions is this rain flower stone. ”
"yes, I've been picking this thing for a long time before I can pick it up." Guo Zizhao said triumphantly, "How stylish it is to put this guy on your old man's desk." At first glance, he is a cultural person, the kind of person who is particularly knowledgeable. ”
Guo Zizhao patted his ass, and he also threw away money without money.
"You guy, you flamboyant don't know who you learned?" Uncle Li said with a wry smile.
"I'll take the stuff," Uncle Li said with a smile, "Your results in this competition are also good, and you are still better than last time." I'll have to practice hard when I go back. ”
"Hehe....... I know, don't worry, Uncle Li, you don't have to worry about training." Guo Zizhao then said with a little squeak, "It's ......."
"Oh, what? Is there anything else you're embarrassed to mention, little one? "Uncle Lee.
"Hehe, it's the prize money of that competition, can you send it down first?" Guo Zizhao said embarrassedly. I still have an investment to do next, and the funds are a little insufficient.
"Oh, our little master is still short of money to spend? Haha........" Uncle Li smiled, "Okay, I'll let the bureau calculate it for you and dial it to you in advance." Anyway, you won't be able to come to Rongcheng in a short time, so go home and study hard. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Lee."
……
According to the regulations, the prize money of the competition will go through the normal procedures, and it will take about half a month to be issued. However, after Uncle Li said hello, he settled with Guo Zizhao first.
This time, Guo Zizhao won a championship and a runner-up, and the prize money was not much, less than 5,000 yuan. After deducting the handover to the Sports Commission and the Tianguan Center, it will be about 2,050 yuan. Of course, this also includes the part where Dad is the coach. But my dad didn't ask for it, and of course he didn't dare to ask for it. The consequences of being found by my mother to hide private money are very serious. So Guo Zizhao told his father that the money would not be given to you, and he would just tell me what you want to buy in the future.
Don't look at the bonus, it seems to be a lot, but it's not something that everyone can afford to get. First of all, you have to make sure that you have the strength to get the ranking in order for you to go. Otherwise, a trip in vain wastes a lot of registration fees and travel expenses. Besides, there are so many players in the provincial team, who goes to participate and who doesn't, in addition to looking at the results, they also have to sit in a row to share the fruits, and everyone takes turns. So apart from a few top athletes, other ordinary athletes don't have many opportunities to participate in national competitions every year.
After all, in addition to economic benefits, the bureau should also consider achievements and political achievements.
The money was transferred to Guo Zizhao's account at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Rongcheng. Now there is also the bonus from the last time I participated in the National Middle School Games in this account, and all the money adds up, a total of about 7,000 yuan. On the passbook of Yunxian's home, there are also 7,000 yuan from the T-shirt sold by my mother last time and more than 1,000 yuan left from the previous competition bonus, a total of more than 8,000 yuan.
Guo Zizhao pondered for a night, and secretly went to a securities company to open an account the next day. bought almost 5,000 yuan of stocks, that is, bought two, Shuchuan Changhong and Shenzhen Development. Others who are not impressed dare not buy it.
For the rest of the money, Guo Zizhao took out 2,000 yuan. This time I went back and planned to buy at least 5 "tops", and if I got together, I still had to pay 10,000 yuan.
……
When Guo Zizhao and his father returned to Yunxian, it was November 4th. After going home, I reported the situation of this competition to my mother, and by the way, I bought two scarves of Yunjin for my mother. Jinling's Yunjin is the same as the Shu embroidery of Rongcheng, and it has been a good thing that has been famous all over the world since ancient times.
Although my mother said no, she still couldn't close her mouth happily when she touched the scarf.
In the days that followed, I continued to study and train every day. However, at Guo Zizhao's request, my father made some modifications to the training plan and began to gradually increase the intensity of training. Although there is no competition this year, Guo Zizhao still plans to increase the intensity to adapt for a while, which will help speed up the fusion of attribute points.
In addition, Guo Zizhao also secretly begged his father for a favor. Go to someone and inquire about the sale of "tops" in the county. But find someone to inquire secretly, don't make a noise.
Although my father was very confused, he still found someone to inquire wholeheartedly. After all, my father has been a teacher in Yunxian No. 1 Middle School for more than ten years, and there are many students in the county, so it is still easy to inquire about the news. Especially the hot news of selling "tops" in the county, everyone has a lot to talk about.
Sure enough, within two days, my father sent a reply. My father said that one of his former students worked in the county government and knew a deputy director in charge of selling "top seeds." According to the student, the current "top" cannot be sold at all, and the county gave 100 licenses, and it has been almost a month since more than 30 were sold. The deputy director in charge was dying.
The student thought that his father wanted to buy it, so he persuaded his father not to buy it, and he might lose money when the time came. Fortunately, my father gave a perfunctory pass, saying that there were relatives from other places who wanted to buy it, and asked him to inquire about the situation.
Guo Zizhao thought silently, it seems to be the same as in the memory of his previous life, so there will be no problem. However, it is still too early to buy now, and it is easy to attract attention. You'll have to wait until early December, when taxis start running, which is more appropriate.
Next, Guo Zizhao didn't pay attention to this matter anymore and focused on study and training.
Soon, the monthly exams at the end of November ended again. Last month, Guo Zizhao did not take the monthly exam because he was going to Jinling to participate in the competition, so he did not have a score ranking. Just when everyone thought that this guy was going to abandon his studies because of practicing sports, Guo Zizhao once again shocked everyone with the 6th place in the whole grade.
Even Zhang Xia's sister looked at Guo Zizhao's eyes, revealing a strange brilliance. Of course, it is also possible that the beautiful Yunjin handkerchief sent by Guo Zizhao played a role. Anyway, the contact between the two began to heat up during this time, and Guo Zizhao also took the opportunity to pull the girl's little hand.
Well, it's soft and hot.
And then...... There is no then. Zhang Xia's sister glanced at Guo Zizhao fiercely, and walked away with a red face. Alas..... girl's mind is really elusive.
At the beginning of December, as Guo Zizhao remembers, after the taxi that started to run was put into the market, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small. Most of them are lively, and there are few people who really take a taxi. The taxi business is bleak, and there are even more people who are optimistic about this business.
It's time, it's time to make a move.
After dinner that day, Guo Zizhao called his father and mother to his room, saying that there was something important to discuss.
"What's the matter? It's so formal, I'm going to play mahjong when I'm done! During this time, Guo Zizhao's study and competition results were very good, and the business of the small shop was also good. So my mother has always been in a good mood, and after dinner, I went out to relax and play mahjong.
"Mom, old man, do it and talk slowly." After Guo Zizhao asked his parents to sit down, he said slowly, "I found a good business opportunity, if I do it well, I will make more money than the last time I sold T-shirts, but the investment is a little bigger." ”
"What business? How much to invest? My mother immediately said excitedly that since the last T-shirt business, my mother admired Guo Zizhao's vision.
"Shh......h Be quiet. Guo Zizhao said with a smile, "I'm going to invest 10,000 yuan myself." After the New Year, I can get back at least 30,000 yuan. ”
"Oh!" Mom and Dad glanced at each other, "What kind of business is so profitable?" You're not going to do crooked ways, are you? ”
"How could it be! You don't know who I am. How could you do that kind of thing. Old man, do you remember the last time I asked you to help inquire? Guo Zizhao pretended to be mysterious.
Dad thought for a while, and then said suspiciously, "You mean selling taxi "tops"?" ”
"Yes!"
"What's the top"? What else are you two hiding from me? "Mom is starting to go crazy. Dad hurriedly explained what Guo Zizhao asked him to inquire about last time, from beginning to end.
"Oh? The business that your baby said is to buy "tops"? Mom glanced at Guo Zizhao strangely, "Don't you know that those people who buy "Dingzi" now are losing money." I can't sell it if I want to. ”
Guo Zizhao smiled mysteriously, "If you lose a lot now, you will make a lot of money in the future." I'll tell you slowly. ”
"Now taxis are not profitable, mainly because they are more expensive than small three-wheelers. Everyone felt that the money was spent unjustly. However, taking a taxi is more magnificent than a small three-wheeler, it has to have face, and it also has a lot of space and is convenient to put things, right? ”
"Hmm." Mom nodded, "But what's the use of these?" ”
"I don't think it's useful now, but next month is the New Year. At that time, those who work to earn money will come back, and those who go to college will also come back from vacation. They need this very much. Guo Zizhao said unhurriedly.
Mom's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said eagerly, "You mean that there will be more people taking taxis by then!" Will the taxi business catch fire? ”
"Yes!" Guo Zizhao said sharply, "You think, those people have seen them in big cities, and they have even made taxis." Now when I go home, I see that there are taxis in my county, and the price is much cheaper than in big cities. Can you not go and make it fresh? Besides, they made money and came back, and it was a shameful thing to take a taxi back with a large bag of small bags. There are also college students who come back, do you want to have a class reunion or a hometown reunion? Take a taxi and go to the hotel for a party with a few people, isn't it very face-saving? During the Spring Festival, take a relative, go shopping and buy something, is it more festive to take a taxi than to take a small three-wheeler? ”
Guo Zizhao continued to say, "Besides, the railway station will be opened to traffic after the New Year, and I am afraid that the taxi will not be able to work at that time." I'm afraid that these "tops" will not be enough at that time. ”
Mom thought about it for a while and nodded. "What you said is also very probable, but we don't have the money to buy a car, and we can't drive, so what are we doing when we buy a "top"? ”
"Who said you have to drive a taxi if you buy a "top"? Guo Zizhao said with a smile.
"You mean wait for the price to rise? Stir-fry "tops"? "My mother has been in business for more than two years, and she reacted quickly.
"Yes. Didn't I just say that? Taxis will not be available at that time. Didn't the government issue a document saying that this time it would send 100 "tops" to test the water, and it would not be issued again within a year. If everyone can't buy the "top", the price will be speculated at that time. Guo Zizhao slowed down, "So the price of "Dingzi" will generally rise to the most during the Chinese New Year or after the train is opened, and we will sell it at that time." ”
"Moreover, I can't buy it from those who are engaged in taxis now, I'm afraid that when the price increases, people will feel that they will lose money and make trouble. Therefore, I had to ask someone to buy it secretly from the county. I guess I bought it now, and the person in charge of the person in charge has to thank us for helping him solve a big problem. When the time comes, if it rises, we will ask someone to find him to sell it secretly, and people will have to owe us a favor. Guo Zizhao glanced at his father, "If your student can be relied on, you can entrust him with this matter." ”
"Of course. Lao Tzu taught him three years of high school. Dad patted his chest and said.
