After all, the two of them had been busy buying machines ever since they arrived.

Lin Yifeng took Ye Yuqing to the SEG Market every day, and had no time to let her experience the prosperity of Shenzhen.

After a good night's rest, Lin Yifeng brought Ye Yuqing to the Pengcheng International Trade Building early the next morning.

Shenzhen in 1992 was a far cry from a rural city like Muye.

While Lin Yifeng was still building the first supermarket in Muye City, Pengcheng already had several department stores.

Apart from the China World Trade Center, the rest of the area is also filled with high-rise buildings.

As the two strolled along the street, they saw many foreigners loitering around.

Veronica Yip was also quite interested in this. After climbing up to the China World Trade Center, she looked down at the bustling traffic below with surprise in her eyes.

But that's all.

Although the Pengcheng International Trade Building is a department store, most of the items inside are foreign.

Besides luxury goods, there are also many Western restaurants.

Veronica Yip wasn't particularly interested in these things, and after coming downstairs, there was nothing left for her to see.

"Yeah, I knew it."

Lin Yifeng shrugged, looking helpless.

If any other girl came shopping here with him, they'd probably want to empty the entire mall.

After all, I've spent most of my time in the north and haven't had many opportunities to come to the south and experience the vibrancy of the cities.

One is Veronica Yip, the other is Bai Yejin.

One had absolutely no interest in it, and the other didn't want to buy it at all.

The reason I brought Veronica Yip to the China World Trade Center this time was so that she could go up to the top of the building and experience the whole city of Shenzhen.

As soon as they stepped out, Lin Yifeng led her straight to Pengcheng Department Store Plaza.

Compared to the China World Trade Center, this is a long-established state-owned department store, which mainly sells items that are affordable for the average person.

There are also many stalls selling snacks and herbal tea on the street.

Lin Yifeng took Ye Yuqing to buy two bowls of iced tofu pudding, and while strolling around, he looked for other fun things to do.

We wandered around until almost 10 o'clock.

Ye Yuqing's gaze lingered on a side path.

Along the path, countless people lined up and sat in the scorching sun.

The long queue stretched into the distance, seemingly endless.

Ye Yuqing stopped and looked around in confusion, completely baffled as to why this group of people were queuing up here in the sweltering heat.

Lin Yifeng looked at Ye Yuqing's curious expression and felt somewhat puzzled as well.

"It's open!"

With a shout from the crowd, a group of people stood up and rushed forward.

The whole street swayed a few times as the crowd moved about.

Ye Yuqing, biting her spoon, looked at Lin Yifeng with a puzzled expression.

Lin Yifeng also frowned, trying hard to recall what events in Shenzhen in 1992 could have attracted so many people.

Soon Lin Yifeng remembered a major event that had shocked the entire country.

"No wonder there were so many people."

"They're all here to buy certificates of wealth."

Lin Yifeng waved his hand, which only piqued Ye Yuqing's curiosity further.

"A certificate to make a fortune?"

She tilted her head and looked at Lin Yifeng, completely bewildered by what it was.

Why is it called the "Wealth Certificate"? Mainly because the sheer madness of this group of people truly shocked Veronica Yip.

In Makino City, you rarely see such a large crowd queuing up at the market except during holidays and festivals.

Lin Yifeng shrugged and patiently explained to Ye Yuqing.

"It's about buying stocks."

"They have to pay to enter a lottery."

"This group of people are all here for the lottery qualification."

Seeing that Ye Yuqing was still confused, Lin Yifeng led her along the side road and headed straight for the main group ahead.

Lin Yifeng has a very vivid memory of the Pengcheng Wealth Certificate.

In the early 1990s, the domestic stock market was just emerging. As a special economic zone, Shenzhen saw stock investment as a synonym for getting rich quick.

After the Shenzhen stock market boom in 1991, it attracted investors from all over the country to flock to Shenzhen to buy new shares.

Back then, buying stocks wasn't like it is now, where you have to think things through. People were so crazy that they would buy any new stock that was listed.

At that time, new stock issuance used a "certification lottery form" method.

Not only that, each person can only purchase 10 tickets with their ID card, and only those who win the lottery can buy stocks. Because the supply of stocks cannot meet the demand, the subscription form is also known as the "get rich certificate".

According to statistics from the parties involved, a new stock issued by Pengcheng in August attracted more than 1.2 million people from all over the country to Pengcheng that same month.

Later, because the shares were sold out quickly, the shareholders discovered that there were still some left inside the stock exchange, and they realized that someone had used connections.

If someone blocks their path to wealth, that's unacceptable!

The actions of the stock exchange on August 10 sparked public outrage, with countless people gathering at the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to protest, which subsequently escalated into vandalism and rioting.

Finally, the stock exchange issued another 500,000 shares, which finally quelled the public anger.

It's only been a little over two months since this incident, and the stock exchange is still packed with people.

Many people hire others to queue up for them and use other people's ID cards to try and buy things, all in order to increase their chances of winning.

Soon Lin Yifeng brought Ye Yuqing to the entrance of the stock exchange.

Standing on the stairs in front of the Xiamen Tower across from the stock exchange, Lin Yifeng looked out at the plaza in front of the entrance.

The entire square was packed with people, just like during the Spring Festival travel rush.
