Chapter 728
Finally, it was Wang Dachui's turn to trade, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his palms.
The air in the exchange was filled with the smell of cigarettes and paper ink. With trembling hands, he opened the box and took out the cash wrapped tightly in newspaper.
"Use this money to buy everything!" he said to the staff behind the counter, his voice a little hoarse with excitement.
The staff member looked up at him and asked expressionlessly, "Do you have a shareholder code card?"
Wang Dachui was stunned: "What card?"
He turned to look at Liu Abing beside him, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Liu Abing came up quickly, smiling broadly:
"Boss Wang, this is your first time here, and we haven't done anything yet! Could you please help me open an account first so we can buy stocks? Boss Wang, with this card, you'll have an identity in the stock market."
The cumbersome account opening procedures made Wang Dachui a little impatient, but when he got the shareholder code card with his name on it, he inexplicably felt a sense of pride.
From now on, he is also a "stockholder"!
After completing the formalities, Wang Dachui felt light-hearted holding a thick stack of stock certificates.
One hundred thousand yuan, and all he got in return was these few pieces of paper? He looked at Liu Abing uncertainly.
Liu Abing immediately understood his concerns and said with a smile, "Boss Wang, this is a hen that lays golden eggs! Just wait and count the money!"
Walking out of the exchange, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the avenue. Wang Dachui took a deep breath, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of money.
He went to a roadside store and called home.
He shouted excitedly into the phone:
"Hey, Xiao Xu! I've bought it! I've invested all 100,000 yuan! What? Risk? Oh, you don't understand! Mr. Pan has already made hundreds of thousands of yuan, how can I be worse than him?...Okay, okay, just wait and count the money from now on!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dachui said to the two bodyguards in high spirits, "Let's go! I'll treat you tonight. Order the most expensive dishes and the best wine!"
The bodyguards smiled and nodded repeatedly. They didn't understand anything about stocks, but they knew that if the boss was happy, their lives would be better.
As the night deepens, Shenzhen's neon lights light up one after another.
Wang Dachui sat in front of the window of the hotel, looking towards the stock exchange in the distance. He seemed to have imagined himself becoming a millionaire.
What he didn't know was that besides himself, the people who were happiest about his stock purchase were Mr. Pan and Su Miao.
"Has Wang Dachui already bought all of Anda shares?" Su Miao confirmed with Brother Xiaopang on the phone.
"I bought it all, 100,000 yuan, not a penny left. I didn't even spend a few days to learn more about it, I just bought it."
Su Miao shook his head slightly: "Greed is truly the greatest weakness of human beings."
Little Fatty agreed deeply: "Miao Miao, to be honest, if it weren't for you guiding me, I wouldn't be much better than Wang Dachui.
After all, the stock market has been crazy over the past year or so, with daily gains making people slap their thighs and regret not getting out sooner.
Su Miao jokingly said, "Little Fatty, you're more rational than him. At least you can listen to advice. Don't worry, although the Shenzhen stock market is about to pick up, the Shanghai stock market is very stable. Just clear your position within the time I set."
Outside the window, the cold December wind howled, foreshadowing the coming severe winter.
In Shenzhen, countless speculators like Wang Dachui are still immersed in the dream that the stock market will always rise, and are completely unaware that the crisis is approaching.
Before the winter vacation, the expansion of the "Su Ji" Beijing store was finally completed. After comprehensive cleaning and decoration, the upgraded store officially opened.
After the new shop was opened and expanded, the business area doubled.
The first floor is a spacious dining area. Considering the stability of the building structure, the middle wall is not demolished. Like the main store in Yongcheng, a large arch is dug in the middle.
The entire arch connects the two sides, which not only makes the traffic flow smooth, but also makes the shop visually more spacious and transparent.
The decoration style of the store is consistent with that of the main store. This "Southern" decoration style looks very novel in Beijing.
There are six rooms on the second floor. One of them was reserved for Meng Sui as a dormitory at his request, so that he can save the distance and time of commuting to work in the future.
One room is used as an office, and the other west room is set up as a private room, accepting reservations and orders. During free time, guests who dine in can also be arranged to dine upstairs.
The temperature in the capital has dropped, but it was very considerate that it did not snow today, which made the guests even more enthusiastic.
Amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, the new plaque of "Su Ji" slowly unveiled its red cloth, revealing the large gold-plated characters "Su Ji Food Shop" on the west side, sparkling in the winter sun.
Uncle Ma squinted his eyes and looked up: "Wow! This calligraphy is so impressive! It's a whole circle bigger than the old plaque!"
After Su Yuanzheng announced that all in-store purchases today would be 30% off and that purchases of 3 yuan or more could be entered into a lucky draw, a crowd rushed in and instantly filled the first-floor lobby.
In the newly renovated shop, the round table is polished so well that it can reflect a person's reflection. On the self-service side dish table, there is a small charcoal stove, which is bubbling with free ginger tea.
Such activities have been held several times almost every year in the years since Su Ji was founded, and the company has become very familiar with them.
But for the diners and employees in the restaurant in Beijing, it is very new.
As the store grows bigger, the staff will naturally need to be increased. There are references in terms of number of people and configuration. The mature operating model plays its greatest advantage at this time.
The guests dining in are downstairs, and the private rooms upstairs are also reserved for distinguished guests.
One table was for Foreman Tian and the workers, one table was for the friends Su Yuanzheng had made in the year and a half since he came to Beijing, one table was for Su Miao's good classmates and several teachers, and the other table was reserved for the Ye family and the Tang family.
The red confetti from the firecrackers were still swirling in front of the door. Su Miao and Su Yuan were busy greeting customers, and the aroma of delicious food enveloped everyone in the store.
In this cold season, the renewed look of "Su Ji" is like the bubbling ginger tea, warming the hearts of the entire alley with the most simple warmth.
As night fell, the noise in the shop gradually died down.
Su Miao and his father saw off the last group of customers, and the employees began to clean the store and the kitchen, with the dishes making crisp sounds as they collided.
"Are you tired?" Su Yuanzheng poured two cups of ginger tea and handed one to his daughter.
Su Miao shook his head and looked at the brand new shop:
"Not tired. Dad, every time we open a branch, I feel like I'm back to when the main store first opened a few years ago. I'm full of energy."
Su Yuanzheng also felt a little emotional:
"Yes, there were only a few of us back then. Now the business is growing bigger and bigger, and we have more and more employees. We can let go of most things and don't have to do it ourselves like before."
"Dad, this is the power of teamwork. Let's go! Our team has been tired all day, let's reward everyone and have a midnight snack together!"
A small wooden sign saying "take a break" was hung at Su Ji Food Shop, but the laughter and joy inside never stopped.
