Chapter 346 Subscription Certificate
"Will it be demolished? Xinbai, what do you mean by that? Is it the same as our old home?"
Li Huifen's face turned red with excitement. The houses to be demolished in her hometown were all demolished at a ratio of one to two. If it were the same in Shenzhen Stock Exchange, she would be rich.
"No way, little aunt, could it be fake news?"
Yang Jiazhen and Yang Lili were also a little bit unbelievable. It was a big win to encounter this kind of demolition once. Could it be possible for them to encounter it twice? Oh, no, Yang Lili's family had never encountered it before.
Jiang Xinbai shook his head. "It's hard to say. Look, more and more people are coming to Shenzhen to work and do business. There's not enough land in the city. Should we develop in the surrounding areas? What's the most valuable? It's still houses."
Yang Jiazhen nodded in agreement, "Yes, you are right, Auntie. I see many places have built new houses and shopping malls. This old house is also valuable."
"What if it's not demolished?" Li Huifen became worried again.
"It's impossible not to demolish them. Those old buildings affect the city's image. It's only a matter of time."
"Then let's keep the old house for now?" Li Huifen asked her daughter.
Yang Jiazhen nodded, "Well, listen to my aunt, let's not sell it for now. We need a loan anyway, so it's enough."
"Then I won't sell it. If it really gets demolished later, it will be too late to regret." Yang Lili decided to follow her cousin's footsteps.
Seeing that they had made up their minds, Jiang Xinbai still mentioned it, "Let me tell you first, I can't guarantee when it will be demolished, so don't blame me when the time comes. Think it over carefully."
"Hey, Xinbai, don't worry. We are not the kind of people who don't know what's good for us. Don't worry. But Lili, don't tell your mother about this. With your mother's temper, good things will turn into bad things."
Li Huifen glanced at Yang Lili and mentioned it anyway. It was hard for her to say it in her heart, so she let her say it.
Yang Lili smiled awkwardly and assured, "Aunt, aunt, don't worry, I will only tell Yuliang about this and I won't tell anyone else."
"That's fine. Hey, Xinbai, are you free today? How about showing us the house?"
Jiang Xinbai thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let's go!"
…
Time flies, and soon it was 1992. At the beginning of the year, Jiang Xinbai received a call from the bank account manager.
"Sister Jiang, Happy New Year!"
Jiang Xinbai raised his eyebrows and responded with a smile: "Happy New Year, Manager Li, haven't I already called to wish you a happy new year? Do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Hehe, you know all about it, Sister Jiang. So I just want to ask Sister Jiang if you are interested in the stock subscription certificate?"
"Stocks? I'm not interested in that. I don't even know what it is."
Jiang Xinbai had seen the subscription certificate in the newspaper. It cost 30 yuan per copy. If he didn't win, it would just be a piece of waste paper. Who would be stupid enough to spend that money?
Manager Li on the other end of the phone was shocked when she heard that. She quickly said, "No, Sister Jiang, how about I treat you to tea and let's have a good chat. This subscription certificate can be very useful!"
"Oh, now that you mention it, I'm interested. Okay, just tell me a place and I'll go." Jiang Xinbai thought that since it was nothing to do, he might as well go!
"Okay, then let's go to Fu Kee Tea House. See you later!"
Yang Jinsheng glanced at his wife and warned her, "Don't be fooled. The subscription certificates are all scams. They just want the money in your pocket."
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think I'm a fool? I was cheated. Why don't you come with me? My bank deposit is due soon, so let's see if there are any better financial projects."
"Okay, it's okay anyway."
When Jiang Xinbai and the others arrived at the teahouse, Manager Li was already waiting there. When he saw them, he immediately stood up, helped to pull out the chairs, and greeted them with a smile: "Jiang Jie, Yang Ge, please sit down. This teahouse has launched new dim sum, which I heard is delicious. Let's try it too."
Jiang Xinbai sat down with a smile, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "That's also thanks to you. The two of us rarely go out for tea. We need to go out for a walk more often."
"Hey, Sister Jiang, you have money and time, so you should go out and have fun and eat as much as you can. Isn't life all about enjoying yourself?"
"Hey, Manager Li, I like what you said. I said I would go to Hong Kong with your sister Jiang, but she was afraid of spending money and refused to go."
Yang Jinsheng was a little complaining when talking about this. You said he is already fifty years old. Why doesn't he go now while his legs and feet are still good? Does he have to wait until he is in a wheelchair to go?
"Hey, you even complained to Manager Li. What's so good about Hong Kong? It's just a small place with such high costs."
Jiang Xinbai has several friends who have been to Hong Kong, and they all say that the costs there are high, not cost-effective, and that it is also quite chaotic and unsafe.
"Hey, Sister Jiang, Brother Yang is right. You can sign up for a tour group! Everyone in the family can go, and it's more lively with more people. As for the cost, well, the place is small, there are fewer things, so naturally they're more expensive."
“That’s the truth.”
"Hey, Sister Jiang, how about I introduce you to the stock subscription vouchers first?"
Manager Li thought that the main task today was to get Sister Jiang to buy some subscription coupons to relieve her pressure.
"Well, go ahead!" Jiang Xinbai nodded indifferently. She had no intention of buying it anyway.
Manager Li saw that Jiang Xinbai didn't look very interested, and he became anxious. "Jiang Jie, Yang Ge, it's like this, you should know about stocks, right?"
"I know. It's just like the electrocardiogram in that hospital, up and down. It's scary." Yang Jinsheng said with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Yang is really humorous. It's like this. Every time stocks are issued, they are hard to get, so the country came up with the idea of using subscription certificates to limit purchases. If you get your subscription certificate number in the lottery, you can buy stocks, 300 to 500 shares. The stock market is doing well now, so if you can win, you will basically make money."
"I know what you're saying, but if you don't win, then the thirty dollars will just go down the drain, right?"
Jiang Xinbai asked with a frown. Although she had money, she was unwilling to throw it into the water.
"Yes, there are risks, but opportunities and risks coexist! Sister, brother, think about it, what if you win, it would be a huge profit, for example, one dollar can become one hundred dollars." Manager Li exaggerated a little, otherwise it would be hard to attract people!
Yang Jinsheng touched his chin and said, "It sounds like gambling, but it seems to be okay. Anyway, it's only thirty copies. How about we buy one?"
"No, Brother Yang, the chance of winning is too small. You see, everyone in our bank buys them. I bought 100 shares, hoping to win. Then I'll be rich. Haha, so I have to tell you about this good news!"
Manager Li had a smile on her face, but she felt bitter in her heart. If the bank had not assigned her the task forcefully, she would not have bought it. She had invested half a year's salary in it.
