Chapter 212: The Night Walk
The tide of the times cannot be changed by individual power.
The real trendsetters are people like Yu Yaoyang and his wife who have advanced thinking. If they accept these in advance, they will have better development in the future.
After the price of orchids had been falling for a month, the other people in the family could no longer sit still, and took the opportunity of a dinner to ask Yu Yaoyang whether they should sell part of the family's stock to make back their investment.
Now all the family's money is tied up in the flower market. All the money earned before has been invested in it. Even Hao Mei and Xiao Li have taken out their private money to buy at the bottom.
Seeing the price of flowers falling all the way, everyone became anxious.
"Yangzi, I went to the market today, and Lao Liu and his friends cleared out a lot of goods. We won't take any of that in, right?" Chopin spoke first.
Rutang made a hushing gesture and looked at the clock on the wall. The time had come.
Everyone looked at Rutang and signaled everyone to stop talking, and they instantly quieted down.
Rutang took out the remote control and turned on the TV.
It happened to be news time, the province-wide news broadcast. After the first few minutes of talking about what the leaders had done, the host announced a piece of news that changed the fate of the entire family.
"After several months of voting, Clivia was chosen as the city flower of L City. Clivia has a beautiful meaning and is loved by everyone..."
The host announced the news in a clear and melodious voice, and everyone cheered before she finished speaking.
Chopin and others were instantly excited.
Rutang could even hear the cheers from next door, upstairs and downstairs while sitting in her own living room.
Yu Yaoyang had been mentally prepared for this outcome, but he was still stunned by his wife's foresight.
While the whole family was cheering and celebrating for the huge good news, Yu Yaoyang fell into deep thought amid the bustling environment.
Rutang's grasp of the market has reached perfection.
She can always accurately predict the market trends. Even the business genius Yu Yaoyang does not have such a high accuracy rate as her. There are some things that Yu Yaoyang is not sure about, but she can make judgments without hesitation.
Facts have proved that every one of her judgments was correct.
Yu Yaoyang initially thought that his wife was educated, so her vision was beyond ordinary people. This was one of the reasons why he was willing to listen to her and decided to continue his studies.
But when his family came to L City to trade orchids, Yu Yaoyang also came into contact with some educated people. The "Old Liu" that Chopin just mentioned was the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Although he is young, he grows so fast that people nicknamed him "Old Liu".
Rutang can accurately judge things that even Lao Liu cannot predict, it’s like she can predict the future.
These four words appeared in Yu Yaoyang's mind. At first glance, they seemed absurd, but upon careful consideration, they were very reasonable.
She is not only his better half, but also his business partner.
Even though there are many unsolved mysteries about her, none of them are important, just like how he put a sack on the greasy man who always stared at her downstairs and beat him up the day before without telling her.
Women also need to have some secrets of their own. As long as she is in the same boat with him, she will never harm him.
"Yoko, why are you daydreaming? We are going to make it big, and this time we are really going to make it big!" Chopin stood up, holding the wine glass excitedly, and was a little incoherent.
Yu Yaoyang withdrew his gaze from his wife, stood up and clinked glasses with everyone.
Rutang found his camera and recorded this joyous moment.
Although she knew that there would be many more scenes like this in the future.
A few years later, in the stock market, pre-sale properties, real estate, the Internet... every time there is a major economic turning point and a boom comes, her family will gather together like this moment.
A big family is rising quietly, and there are countless wealth waiting for them to slowly discover in the future.
Rutang took careful notes, focusing on the close-up of Yu Yaoyang in high spirits. She took several photos.
Although there will be many more in the future, each one is precious and worth collecting for Rutang.
From the moment the city flower was announced, the flower market in L City seemed to be infected with a virus, and the temperature continued to rise.
The government’s call for every household to grow two pots of Clivia has added fuel to the enthusiasm.
The price of flowers has been rising all the way, from a few yuan at the beginning, to dozens of yuan, and then to hundreds of yuan per pot, and these are all ordinary varieties.
The prices of the precious varieties hoarded by the Rutang family have skyrocketed.
Everyone in L City, from top to bottom, from old to young, is obsessed with the orchid trade. Even housewives like Hao Mei and Xiao Li are carried away by this crazy trade.
Buy at five dollars and sell at ten dollars, who wouldn’t like this kind of deal?
Hao Mei initially scoffed at the idea of speculating in orchids, but after seeing the booming market, she couldn't help but get involved.
All the several thousand dollars she had were invested. In just two months, Hao Mei had as much as 30,000 yuan in cash!
She couldn't even remember how she made money. She just followed her family around every day. When Yu Yaoyang bought something, she followed suit. When Yu Yaoyang sold something, she followed suit.
Before I knew it, I had become rich.
The situation is similar for others. The two uncles have more capital than Hao Mei and Xiao Li, and earn more.
As for how much Yu Yaoyang and his wife earned from this, no one knows.
Every time Yu Yaoyang led everyone in buying and selling, his amount was several times, or even dozens of times, that of everyone else. Thinking about it this way, he must have made a lot of money.
Yu Yaoyang has a hobby that is different from everyone else. After every transaction, he will buy some gold for Rutang.
At the beginning, she was quite restrained, wearing gold rings and gold earrings, and then gold necklaces and gold bracelets.
But in Rutang's view, his restraint was a blatant display of wealth.
When Yu Yaoyang buys things, he only seeks the most expensive ones, not the most beautiful ones. He wants everything to be big. He asked a goldsmith to make the bracelets, which weigh 100 grams, and he buys them in pairs.
Wearing it on both hands, it looks like handcuffs.
Gold now costs 30 yuan per gram, which is definitely a luxury item in this era. It is already a big deal for ordinary people to buy rings and earrings weighing a few grams.
Yu Yaoyang's inhumane behavior is simply disrupting the market.
Fortunately, this is L City, where everyone is speculating in orchids and the economy is booming. Although his action is ostentatious, it will not attract investigation.
He dares to buy it, but Rutang doesn't dare to wear it. What if she encounters robbers when she goes out wearing such golden clothes?
After repeatedly raising her concerns with Yu Yaoyang, he reluctantly stopped buying jewelry for her. It was unknown what he was secretly planning.
Yu Yaoyang not only bought jewelry for his wife, but also for his mother-in-law and mother. Everyone in L City is speculating in orchids now, and funds are flowing very quickly. The good thing is that banks have looser controls.
Rutang used her and Yu Yaoyang's ID cards to open eight accounts in the four major banks and deposited money there every day, depositing three to five hundred yuan in each bank. Such transactions were very common and had not attracted any attention for the time being.
She also suggested the same thing to other people in the family: save the money in batches, carry only about 10,000 to 18,000 yuan in cash, keep a low profile, and don't dress too well.
