Chapter 27#

June passed in the blink of an eye, and the listing of new stocks was excellent. The market was slowly pulled back by the upward trend. Xiao Yun stared at the broader market every day and felt a little more comfortable all over. After Chen Yuanming operated the market once, he gradually discovered some clues about the stock market, some abnormal entry and exit volumes and price ratios. But the current speculators have been pushing the prices high. The rise of new stocks has long been unstoppable, and no one will be stupid enough to ruin this great situation.

However, compared to the current Shanghai stock market, another piece of news quietly entered his sight. In early August, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange will also imitate Shanghai to hold a new stock certification lottery. This time, Shenzhen’s scale is larger and the grade is higher. It is said that ID cards from all over the country can be used. The specific price and purchase limit of the subscription certificate have not been revealed, but purchasing with an ID card is already a certainty.

Because of his amazing gains in the stock market, some of his relatives and friends began to get restless, like a grassland messed up by a gust of wind, with restlessness underneath. As early as three days ago, a friend asked him to go to Shenzhen together, but the market in Shanghai was good, and he was reluctant to sell. He hesitated for a few days. Now seeing that the old stocks were rising generally, he finally moved his mind.

“Are you going to Shenzhen?” Chen Yuanming looked up from today’s newspaper and looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

Xiao Yun leaned back on the sofa angrily and exhaled, “I really don’t know what to say about you. You’re either crazy or playing dead. How old are you this year? Can you have some vitality?”

Chen Yuanming thought for a moment, “16 years old. If you didn’t mention it, I would have really forgotten. My birthday has passed for several months…”

“You… forget it, just tell me if you’re going or not.” Xiao Yun waved his hand helplessly. This kid is obviously only a few years older than his son, so why is he so strange? This is great. After buying new stocks, he started to look like an old monk in meditation. He didn’t buy or sell, just drank tea and watched the market. He was so leisurely. Now telling him such an important thing can’t attract his interest. Is this burnout from trading?

“Shenzhen…” Chen Yuanming closed the newspaper in his hand, his expression darkening, “Do you really want to go? With a pile of ID cards, or do you want to use connections?”

“Of course I’m going. I missed Shanghai, should I miss Shenzhen too? Didn’t I sell a few old stocks yesterday? I’m also planning to ask people to collect ID cards. Collecting more than 1,000 should be enough.”

“It’s good not to use connections. If you want to go, go ahead. But it’s best to let your subordinates go. I’m afraid you can’t stand it if you go yourself…” A playful smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yuanming’s mouth. He said words of approval, but his tone was not like that.

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows. What does this mean? It doesn’t sound right…

“What? You’re not optimistic about Shenzhen? Isn’t Shanghai doing well?”

“It’s because Shanghai is doing too well.” Chen Yuanming replied lightly, “I entered the market with more than 300,000 yuan. How much capital do I have now? This subscription certificate is too profitable, to the point of making people crazy. How does that saying go? If capital has a 50% profit, it will take risks; if it has a 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; if it has a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged. What is the profit of the stock market now…”

“Isn’t this a bit alarmist?” Xiao Yun’s brows were locked tight, but he was still a little unwilling. Nothing else, the profit was indeed too high, to the point where he wouldn’t give up unless he tried.

“So I said, if you want to try, you can try, but it’s best not to go in person. If possible, don’t get involved in any banking or securities relationships. Don’t stick your neck out.”

This time Chen Yuanming spoke very seriously, without any intention of joking. Xiao Yun was involuntarily infected and sat up straight.

“Is it really that serious?”

“Better safe than sorry.”

One question and one answer set the tone. In the end, Xiao Yun decided to give it a try. Trying is better than regretting in the future. Chen Yuanming didn’t say anything more about Xiao Yun’s choice.

Time flew by. Shortly after the third lottery in Shanghai at the end of July, Shenzhen officials finally confirmed the news. From August 9th to 10th, Shenzhen sold stock subscription application forms to the public, totaling 5 million, with a winning rate of 10%. National ID cards can be used universally. Each person can subscribe for 10 with an ID card, and each is sold for 100 yuan. Winners can buy 1,000 new listed shares.

At this time, the Shanghai stock market was still hot. The heat of the third lottery had not passed. Stocks finally spread from small households to thousands of households. Lured by this huge profit, countless people flocked to Shenzhen with the frenzy of gold rushing. ID cards flew to post offices large and small in Shenzhen like snowflakes.

The situation seemed excellent, but on August 10th, Chen Yuanming sold all the stocks in his hand again and cleared his position.

The next day, news of the Shenzhen “August 10th Incident” came out. Because there were too many buyers and serious fraud, the stock subscription certificates sold in Shenzhen this time not only failed to meet the needs of the public, but instead, because too many investors did not get the lottery forms, they were angered and incited, causing huge social unrest. Although the incident subsided basically the next day, this wave of influence eventually reacted on the stock market, and the Shenzhen market plummeted.

“Okay, okay…” Xiao Yun held the phone receiver in his hand, his palm full of cold sweat. “Rest well, don’t rush back. Don’t think about subscription certificates, just recuperate with peace of mind. Hmm… it’s okay, just send the ID card back later, don’t worry so much…”

Chattering for more than ten minutes, Xiao Yun hung up the phone, feeling exhausted and scared. This time he didn’t go south in person, but entrusted a comrade-in-arms who had a good relationship with him to help purchase on his behalf. But the tragic situation on August 10th greatly exceeded his imagination. 1.2 million people gathered in Shenzhen, and the lottery forms were snapped up within a few hours. In the end, tens of thousands of people poured onto the streets, demonstrating and besieging the government. What a big deal this is…

Although his friend took a team of people there, he was slightly injured in the squeezing and carrying, and his foot bone was slightly cracked. This is still good. The stampede incident was definitely not just one. The whole city was crazy. This is not a stock, it is not an exaggeration to call it a riot! Fortunately, he didn’t go, and fortunately, the next day, he learned from Chen Yuanming to sell the stocks in his hand. Although he lost about 10%, it was much better than those market makers who struggled stubbornly.

Only this time, the biggest winner became that boy again. This can no longer be described as clever or genius. It is simply a matter of calculation and miraculousness. Is this guy really still human?

His head was foggy. Xiao Yun leaned on the sofa somewhat distractedly, but a figure suddenly flashed past the corner of his eye. His sword eyebrows immediately clustered, and he shouted loudly.

“Xiao Junyi! You stand there for me!!!”

The figure froze in the aisle. After a long time, he turned back from outside the door, and a young man appeared in front of Xiao Yun. His hair was trimmed very fashionably. He was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and stepping on a pair of popular travel shoes. He had long legs and a thin waist, and a vigorous posture. He exuded a youthful aura all over his body. On that handsome face, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked around, half-smiling, as if always carrying a bit of banter. Only a pair of mismatched sword eyebrows gave a hint of family inheritance.

“Uncle, still busy.” Seeing the other party’s unkind expression, the young man showed an ingratiating smile, “A friend is looking for me, I’ll go out for a while, and I’ll definitely go home on time in the afternoon.”

“Humph!” With a cold snort from his nose, Xiao Yun was not moved by this damn boy, “Friend? I think they are bad friends! How many courses did you fail this year? You still dare to go play with those brats, aren’t you afraid your dad will skin you alive!”

“Just one course, this year was really a mistake. Isn’t this a holiday? There must be a balance between work and rest, right? Uncle, look, I’ve only been in Shanghai for a few days, don’t be like a life-threatening ghost…”

“Life-threatening my ass!! You just hang out with those punks. Do you want to race that motorcycle again? Don’t you know that Director Zhang’s youngest son just had his leg broken? Can’t you find something meaningful to do? Look at Chen…” Xiao Yun suddenly paused and got stuck.

Yeah! Why didn’t he think of it earlier! Isn’t Chen Yuanming still wandering in the large-account room now? Anyway, there is nothing to do. Why not let his nephew contact him? Even if he can’t learn that kind of talent, at least he can suppress his temper. He is 21 and still like a hairy boy. Look at Chen Yuanming!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun showed an unkind smile and looked at his disappointing damn boy.

“Wait, Uncle, don’t look at me like that, I feel creepy…” Keenly discovering the mystery hidden in that smile, the young man immediately wailed, “Last year, my brother almost tortured me to death during the summer vacation. I just came here for an internship this year, don’t scare me…”

“What are you howling about! Sit down obediently for me, and go to the large-account room with me later!”

“What? Your stocks again…” The young man showed a tooth-aching expression, “Uncle, I know you earn a lot, but you can’t talk about it every day. And you want me to go, what can I do, cause trouble?”

“Is your skin itching? If I tell you to go, you go. What nonsense!! Meet someone with me then, and learn from him properly!”

Large-account room, meeting someone… The young man’s eyes rolled twice and showed a playful expression of ‘I understand’, “It wouldn’t be that prodigy you talk about, right? The one you talk about every day, every meal, wishing you could give birth to a daughter and marry her to him?”

Xiao Yun blushed with shame. Didn’t he let slip about marrying his daughter because he drank too much that day! Slapping the naughty element on the head, he issued an ultimatum, “Give me the car keys in your pocket. Don’t even think about escaping anywhere today. Drive for me obediently!”

People under the eaves have to bow their heads. In the end, the young man nodded with a smile. It seemed interesting to meet that person who was as wise as a demon. It saved his ears from getting calluses, hearing only his voice but not seeing him.

Taking out the keys he had swiped from his pocket and weighing them in his hand, Xiao Junyi showed an extremely clean smile, “I’m sold to you today. Don’t forget to pay wages.”
