Chapter 11 The Computer Frenzy

Ho Hin Fat is the owner of an electronics wholesale store on Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po.

His storefront is located on the corner of this street, and mainly sells personal computer brands such as Lenovo, IBM, and Combo, as well as related electronic accessories.

As in many industries.

Every year in June and July, it is a period when the business of the store is relatively bleak.

Some time ago, I was able to sell a few computers a day, but now I struggle to get one a day.

In July, it was too hot in Xiangjiang, and everyone was listless, and there was no desire to buy anything.

He Xianfa sat bored in the store, drowsy.

At this moment, a young man suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Boss! How many computers do you have here, I want them all! ”

"What?"

He Xianfa shuddered, thinking that he had misheard.

"Just say how many goods there are, I'll cover them all, and I'll pay on the spot!" The young man urged impatiently.

After speaking, he directly threw out a sack, which was full of orange-red "big golden calves".

"Yes, yes....... I have several brands here, which one do you want? He Xianfa jumped up excitedly, this is meeting the God of Wealth.

"All! No matter what the brand, all of them! ”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

......

Just when He Xianfa lamented his good luck, the same scene was happening in countless computer stores in Xiangjiang.

People keep asking, and when they meet, they ask if they have a computer, no matter what brand, all of them.

In the past, these decrepit boys were all too expensive, and they had to hesitate for a long time to buy one, and they didn't necessarily buy it in the end.

Now it's okay, I don't even talk about the price, I just swept it away.

It's so generous that you don't treat money as money!

This strange scene instantly alarmed many people on the street.

They hurriedly returned home to take a look, only then did they know that such a big event had happened, and without saying a word, they also hurriedly ran out and participated in the rush to buy.

With the announcement of the first stock trading contest by Infinity, the specific rules were also released by the news media.

Anyone.

As long as you open a stock account at "Fangyi Securities", you can get a computer floppy disk for free, which includes the software "Infinity Simulated Stock Trading".

It's the equivalent of a ticket to the race.

In the eyes of many people, it is a "lottery" that has increased the probability.

The news says that as long as you enter the top 100, everyone can get a cash prize of one million.

What could be more exciting?

That's one million, enough to buy a house in a remote part of Xiangjiang.

Outsiders don't understand, but for many Xiangjiang people, only by buying a house can they really board the "free ride" of life.

In the financial center of Yazhou, a stock speculation competition completely detonated Xiangjiang.

As long as you are 18 years old, you can participate, which is quite a chance to have a 10-year less struggle.

Countless people dragged their families and lined up at the door of the securities company.

Countless economists lamented that the era of national stock speculation has come.

For this reason, hundreds of thousands of computers in the entire Xiangjiang were snapped up in less than a day.

Even if scalpers double and resell, they are still in short supply.

Even if you go to the market with a lot of money, you can't buy a computer at all.

Not even second-hand!

Suddenly, there were countless more smugglers overnight at the dry port, which led to a sharp increase in customs pressure.

As soon as you flip it casually, it is several times the profit.

It's more profitable than selling that.

What's the point of taking this risk?

As for the major computer distributors in Xiangjiang, the phone has long been overwhelmed, and no matter how you call, it is busy.

Tens of thousands of computers per computer are the income of ordinary people in the mainland for several years, and they are not too much to say at a sky-high price.

But in Xiangjiang, it is only a few months' wages for citizens.

As early as the early 90s, the monthly income of the people of Hong Kong has reached 3,000-6,000 Hong Kong dollars.

By 1996, it had reached 8,000-15,000.

It can definitely be called a developed region.

Spending this amount of money is nothing at all.

Antler Building, nine floors.

Lin Zeju simply admired the five-body throw, he didn't expect that Chen Weidong would spend 200 million casually to pry the entire Xiangjiang.

Look at the "long line" not far downstairs.

The degree of popularity is unprecedented.

Even Lin Jiacheng couldn't help but ask Lin Zeju what was going on, and sighed at the madness of the people after learning about the process.

And the initiator of all this is repentant.

Because, he actually forgot to buy computer stocks!

Chen Weidong underestimated the madness of the Hong Kong people.

Since the announcement of the stock trading competition, the entire Xiangjiang computer has been sold out in an instant, and the shares of some computer companies have also skyrocketed several times.

For example, Lenovo Group, in less than two days, has risen from 0.5 yuan a share to more than 2 yuan.

There is even grapevine that Lenovo seems to be going to launch the "10,000 yuan Pentium" plan, ready to push the price of 586 computers with Intel's latest Pentium processors to less than 10,000 yuan.

If this news is confirmed, I am afraid that the stock price will skyrocket!

However, Chen Weidong has a habit, that is, he will never chase the opportunity he misses, so he can only sigh that he missed the opportunity.

"Hahaha, everyone, please call me the god!"

The third uncle suddenly laughed in front of the computer.

"What's the situation?" A few people didn't know what the third uncle was crazy about, so they hurriedly leaned over his computer to take a look, and they were shocked on the spot.

"! When did you buy 40 million shares!? ”

The average cost price is about 0.5 yuan, the current price is 2.56 yuan, and the market value of the position has reached more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

In just a few days, the market value of the third uncle has increased several times!

"Didn't you only buy 10 million Hong Kong dollars before?" Chen Weidong asked a little unpleasantly, he thought that the third uncle had already sold it.

"No, before I went to the press conference, I added another 10 million funds, I thought it might be an opportunity, so I increased my position." The third uncle replied with some smugness.

Chen Weidong was speechless, the third uncle inadvertently became those "dealers" in later generations.

Start by buying a stock at a low price, then spread some specific news in the market to guide the market to push the stock price higher, and then take a profit.

Lin Zeju laughed even more, and kept patting the third uncle's shoulder and said, "God of stocks, the company will rely on you to eat in the future." ”

Good guys, is this a newbie aura?

Chen Weidong shrugged.

I have to admit that the third uncle is still talented, and not long after he touched the stock, he already knew that through external news, the stock price would be pushed up.

If his personality can be more stable, he may be able to become a good trader.

Thinking of this, Chen Weidong said to Lin Zeju again: "Ah Ju, the team you developed to simulate stock trading software has not been disbanded." ”

"Not yet, what's wrong?" Lin Zeju responded.

"Have you ever thought that nowadays, the cost of phone communication, is too high, and it costs two yuan for a few minutes."

"Why did you suddenly say this?" Lin Zeju couldn't keep up with Chen Weidong's thinking, wasn't he still talking about stocks just now, why did he get the phone all of a sudden?

"Do you think if we develop a software that allows people to communicate quickly on the computer, will we be able to skip the phone company?"

"Isn't it okay to have an e-mail?" Lin Zeju wondered.

"No, no, no, this is too slow, what I'm saying is that being able to display words at any time is like me and you are communicating face-to-face now." Chen Weidong patiently explained.

If he's not mistaken.

This year, a few Israelis will get together and make the world's first instant messaging.

Thus threatening traditional communications companies.

First of all, it is their SMS business.
