Chapter 5 chapter Five

He rushed to the mansion excitedly in the broken car called by Xing Chuzhi, but Mr. He was not at home.The fifth wife of the He family said that Mr. He was picked up by people from a hardware exchange early in the morning and never came back. Yu Wanzhen and Zhu Mingan changed cars and went to the "big stage" to find Bai Mudan. It was also in vain: Bai Mudan was coaxed to speculate in stocks, and only an old lady was left to look after the house.Yu Wanzhen was really disappointed for a moment, displeasure appeared on her pretty face. Zhu Ming'an tentatively said, "Why don't we go to the stock exchange to look for it?"

Yu Wanzhen rolled her eyelids: "Where is it so easy to find? There are so many stock exchanges, who knows which one she is in?" Sitting in the car again, and ordering the driver to drive back, Yu Wanzhen patted Zhu Ming'an's knee, and said as if lost: "Look, everyone is busy now, only we are idle inside and out." Zhu Ming'an said: "We're not idle either - isn't our 'New Far East' already under preparation?" Yu Wanzhen sighed, looked out of the window and said, "It's too late. I'm afraid that when our 'New Far East' is ready, our world will no longer exist. Ming An, look, look Look, how many exchanges are there in this concession, it's almost becoming unrecognizable..."

Cars are driving in the concession.The concession is still the former concession, the streets are still the same, the general appearance has not changed, but the signboards have changed a lot.All of a sudden, so many exchanges popped up out of nowhere, it was really dazzling. Yu Wanzhen and Zhu Mingan were sitting in the car, looking at the bustling and noisy scene on both sides of the road, their hearts were beating drums, and they both felt that no matter how tightly they grasped, their "New Far East" would still be later than others.Just by looking at the names of these exchanges that have opened on the street, you can tell that there are exchanges in every industry nowadays.Not to mention the old trades of gauze and flour, even candle soap and sacks have two exchanges, one is called "Nanyang Candle Soap Exchange" and the other is called "Great China Sack Exchange". Yu Wanzhen saw the signboard in the alley of Baishibu first, and immediately pointed it out to Zhu Mingan.

Zhu Mingan was also in a hurry, but he tried his best to be as calm as possible, and comforted Yu Wanzhen, saying: "Auntie, you don't understand, running an exchange is different from running other industries, and you don't care if it's sooner or later, the key still depends on your strength." of." Yu Wanzhen asked: "Do you think we can do it with our strength?" Zhu Ming'an said: "Why not? As long as we hold the celebrities such as Mr. He and Bai Mudan to support the front stage, and have the Zhen Guojun as the backing, we will not have to worry about prosperity. I am not worried about that. What I am worried about is that Mr. He, Mr. Bai Will Peony do it with us?"

Yu Wanzhen said: "Don't worry about that, they will do it with us." Zhu Mingan asked, "Why are you so sure?" Yu Wanzhen said: "You don't know, Mr. He and Bai Mudan have an unusual relationship with me! When Dujun Zheng was alive, I recognized Mr. He as my godfather, and even worshiped Mrs. Bai as my godsister..." It's also a coincidence, at this point, Yu Wanzhen saw Bai Mudan through the window of the car.Bai Mudan was wearing a red cheongsam, and was hurriedly walking towards a house on the street with the sign of "East Asia Stock Exchange". When she was about to enter the door, she turned her head towards the street.

Yu Wanzhen shouted through the car door: "Sister Bai! Sister Bai..." Bai Mudan obviously didn't hear it, and his figure disappeared inside the door of the exchange. Only then did Yu Wanzhen remember to ask the driver to stop. The car stopped, Yu Wanzhen dragged Zhu Mingan out of the car door, and ran towards the trading market in the hall of the exchange. The trading market was chaotic, centered on the clapping platform surrounded by wooden fences in the center of the hall, crowded with people everywhere, everyone was shouting with arms outstretched, the noise was like thunder, and the roof was almost torn off.Yu Wanzhen noticed that the "East Asia" stock exchange was being auctioned on the board platform, and the room was filled with only the sound of buying, and there were very few calls of selling, and the stock skyrocketed. Yu Wanzhen and Zhu Ming'an stood inside for less than ten minutes In a few minutes, each share of East Asia's stock rose by three yuan. Not to mention Yu Wanzhen, even Zhu Ming'an was shocked.The two originally wanted to find Bai Mudan, but now they didn't bother to look for it, and they both stared at the board.

The board is still rising, and the voice of buying is becoming more and more enthusiastic, like a galloping horse. Many small investors who are watching from the outside also joined in, clamoring to buy, and the trading volume is getting bigger and bigger.As a result, East Asian stocks rose aggressively, and by the time of the limit, they had risen from 10 yuan a share at the opening to 18 yuan a share. When the second round of auctions started, the situation changed suddenly. As soon as the market opened, there was only the sound of selling, and there was no enthusiasm for buying.Everyone panicked and started throwing them out one after another.The more people who sell, the faster the stock price will drop, from 18 yuan to 16 yuan, and 12 yuan, when it reached the limit, it had fallen below 10 yuan and stopped at 7 yuan.The price difference between the ups and downs was as huge as 11 yuan.

Many winners were smiling and walking around in the hall, ready to look for the next opportunity.There were also many people with red eyes and profuse sweat—many even wiped the sweat from their foreheads and faces and quietly left the venue. Yu Wanzhen saw Bai Mudan among the exiting crowd, called out crisply, and squeezed past. Bai Mudan was quite surprised when she saw Yu Wanzhen. She was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that Yu Wanzhen was also engaged in the East Asia Stock Exchange, so she grabbed Yu Wanzhen's hand and hurriedly asked, "Wanzhen, why are you here too?" , are you short or long?"

Yu Wanzhen smiled and said: "I didn't do anything, I came to look for you. I saw you entered here, but I couldn't find you once I entered the door." Bai Mudan said dejectedly: "If you had found me earlier, I wouldn't have lost more than 500 yuan in my account. I thought it would be a good day to be bullish today - I got the letter, I never wanted to be bullish." One party sucked a few times and then lost all confidence, and sold short, and I was thrown away..." Zhu Ming'an stepped in and said, "It's not too bad now. If you continue to do this long, maybe you can make some money back."

Bai Mudan glanced at Zhu Ming'an, her eyes lit up, and she smiled nicely with two dimples at the corners of her mouth, then turned her head and asked Yu Wanzhen: "Wanzhen, this gentleman is—" Yu Wanzhen introduced: "Oh, this is my nephew. He just came back from studying economics in Japan. We came to you because we want to discuss with you about setting up our own exchange. Let's go out and talk, it's boring here. Already!" Bai Mudan looked at Zhu Ming'an again with her big eyes blinking. After looking at it for a long time, Zhu Ming'an felt embarrassed, so she nodded and said, "Alright, let's go out."

At this time, the third set of the East Asia Stock Exchange started shooting again, and the three of them stopped after only a few steps. The downward trend has not yet been reversed, and the short side still dominates the overall situation. East Asian stocks fell from 7 yuan when the auction started to 6 yuan, and then fell to 5 yuan and 5 cents, and stood at 5 yuan and 5 cents. Zhu Ming'an grabbed Bai Mudan's hand: "The opportunity is here, buy it quickly!" Bai Mudan had just suffered, so she didn't dare to buy it rashly, so she held Zhu Ming'an's arm tightly, looked up at Zhu Ming'an and asked, "Are you still buying?" Zhu Mingan said: "Buy it, the bulls are about to suck it up, if you don't buy it, it will be too late!" Yu Wanzhen also felt unreliable, so she asked: "Ming An, are you sure?" Zhu Mingan resolutely said: "Buy it! If you pay for it, it will be mine!" Only then did Bai Mudan ruthlessly buy 200 shares. Zhu Ming'an was right. He had just bought 200 shares of Bai Mudan, and the bulls made a quick move. They sucked in 800 shares and 1,000 shares. .Zhu Mingan decided that the high position of 15 yuan and 50 cents would not last long, so he asked Bai Mudan to throw it away.After Bai Mudan was thrown away, the stock price continued to rise, reaching 19 yuan per share. Bai Mudan felt that she was losing money, and said: "If I throw it later, I will earn another 400." Zhu Ming'an smiled and said, "It's not easy to earn 400. If you want to earn 400, you have to take the risk of losing money." Bai Mudan thought for a while, and then smiled: "Yes, that's my problem. I'm always greedy, so I always lose a lot of money in stocks! Today, without the help of an economist like you, I would lose money even if I made a profit." The lost 500 can’t be retrieved.” Yu Wan really felt that Zhu Ming'an had won her face, so she was very happy, she took Bai Mudan's hand and said, "Sister Bai, do you think it's okay for my nephew to host an exchange?" Bai Mudan gave Zhu Ming'an a very obvious wink, clapped her hands and said, "Why not? Yes! When the exchange opens, I will invite all the sisters to sing a stage show to celebrate!" Yu Wanzhen said: "Whether to sing or not is a trivial matter. I want to initiate it with you and Mr. He." Bai Mudan smiled and said: "Naturally, if you don't partner with me, I won't follow you!" The three talked and laughed and walked out of the gate of the East Asia Stock Exchange and got into the car. As soon as she got in the car, Bai Mudan said to the driver: "Go to Wanfu Company to buy some things first." Yu Wanzhen asked, "What are you going to buy?" Bai Mudan said: "I don't buy anything, I just want to buy something for Ming An. Ming An is your nephew, so naturally he is also my nephew. The first time we met, he helped me earn another 1000. As an elder, I am so proud of you." ah." Yu Wanzhen said: "There's no need for that. Firstly, Ming An is not short of money, and secondly, he is not a child anymore." Zhu Mingan also said: "Yes, you can't treat me like a child and embarrass me." Bai Mudan stretched out her hand and patted Zhu Mingan's shoulder: "What's the embarrassment! With two aunts like us, you have to dress up decently, or you'll embarrass us too!" When she arrived at Wanfu Company, Bai Mudan didn't care whether Zhu Mingan wanted to or not, she forced Zhu Mingan to choose the latest French beige suit and a pair of white leather shoes with three joints for Zhu Mingan to wear.After Zhu Ming'an put it on, he suddenly became more energetic, as if he was a different person.Bai Mudan and Yu Wanzhen looked at Zhu Ming'an up and down, just like looking at a pet they just bought, and they both looked very satisfied. When it was time to pay, Yu Wan felt overwhelmed for some reason, and suddenly felt that this brand new nephew belonged to her and had nothing to do with Bai Mudan, so she paid the money first.Bai Mudan refused, first put the money into Yu Wanzhen's hand, then used the money to buy a gold-plated pocket watch for Zhu Mingan, tied it for Zhu Mingan herself, and put it in the pocket of Zhu Mingan's suit jacket. After returning to Zheng's mansion, Mr. He also called. Chief He said on the phone that he drank two more glasses at the opening banquet of the hardware company at noon, and felt a little dizzy, so he didn't come back. He asked Yu Wan if there was anything important?Yu Wanzhen held the microphone and was about to talk to Mr. He, but Bai Mudan grabbed the receiver and said: "Mr. He, we have something good to do here, come quickly, if you are late, you will lose your share!" Director He laughed and said on the phone: "Don't fool me, it's a good thing, you will call me? I'm afraid you will bring me, old Zhong Kui, to fight ghosts again, right?" Bai Mudan said: "That's not true, Wanzhen and I made some money and wait for you to earn it!" Chief He said: "I don't believe what you say, you ask Wanzhen to answer the phone." Bai Mudan handed the phone to Yu Wanzhen and made a face at Yu Wanzhen. Yu Wanzhen went into the microphone and said straight to the point: "Godfather, we discussed setting up an exchange, and we recommended you to be the director of preparations." Director He said: "Oh, Wanzhen, why didn't you say so sooner? I have already registered as a director in Zhang Dajun's stock exchange, so can I be your preparatory director again?" Yu Wanzhen said coquettishly: "You push Zhang Dajun away!" Mr. He said: "I'm afraid it's not good to go around like this?" Yu Wanzhen said: "Then we don't care, the preparatory director is you anyway, you have to do it if you do it, and you have to do it if you don't do it, we will publish it in the newspaper immediately..." Mr. He had no choice but to say: "Don't we have to have dinner together at night? Let's discuss it then!" Putting down the phone, Yu Wanzhen said to Bai Mudan: "Sister Bai, let's drink the old man a few more glasses tonight, and drag the old man into the water..." Bai Mudan chuckled and said, "It's up to you to deal with Boss He. You are his daughter-in-law, but I am not." Yu Wanzhen said: "Okay, you can just look at me, I have to make the old man happy to work with us."
