Chapter 213 The one who is showing off is actually my son
The opportunity brought by speculating in orchids made the whole family feel rich overnight. With thousands of dollars passing through their hands every day, it was hard not to be proud.
Chopin and his friends were a little intoxicated by their huge earnings and bought a big gold ring to wear. Rutang reminded them to keep a low profile, but they were a little unhappy.
It was not until they heard that a big boss had been robbed, his head was smashed open, and all the gold and valuables on his body were taken away that Xiao Pin and Hao Wang woke up. They thought Rutang was truly an immortal and what he said was so right.
Now he no longer dares to show off, and even dares not wear a gold watch. He wears tattered clothes every day, feeling like a man wearing fine clothes walking at night.
The prices at the flower market have been skyrocketing, with more increases than decreases. The city has also realized that things are getting out of control and has repeatedly suggested in the news that citizens should consume rationally, but this has failed to cool down the hot market.
The Chinese New Year has passed in a flash. Don’t ask how Rutang’s family spent the New Year. Who has the time to care about that?
On the 29th day of the lunar year, Yu Yaoyang sold two of the 20 pots of flowers in stock.
Yu Yaoyang and his team went out to deliver goods early in the morning on the 31st and did not return until the evening.
There were bursts of firecrackers outside. In the living room, Hao Mei was absent-mindedly rolling dumpling skins, while Xiao Li was staring at the TV she brought from home in a daze.
This year is the second year of the Spring Festival Gala, and the program is very exciting.
But no matter how exciting the show was, it couldn't attract Xiao Li's attention. She would look at the clock on the wall every few minutes.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and both mothers' hearts were in their throats.
The men in the family are out on some important business.
Rutang was sitting on the sofa. It was freezing cold outside, but the house was well heated. She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, the loose fit of which just covered her round belly.
Compared to the nervous mothers, Rutang seemed very relaxed. She ate a banana and watched the Spring Festival Gala. The language programs were not very good at the moment, but the songs were all good. When Rutang saw something happy, she even hummed a few lines.
"I am a little grass that no one knows about~~~"
Hao Mei tapped her forehead lightly with a rolling pin and said unhappily, "I think you are a heartless bastard!"
"Pfft!" Gui Ning, who was sitting next to Ru Tang, laughed.
She found that Aunt Mei had not only become more beautiful but also more lively since her divorce.
Rutang, who was disliked by her own mother, touched her forehead in grievance. Why was she not welcomed even when she sang a song?
"Yangzi has been out for most of the day and there is no news. How can you still sing? It's already late and you haven't come back yet. Did someone rob you? Oh, a pot of flowers costs 50,000 yuan. Will they be arrested?"
The more Hao Mei thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she scared herself.
Recently, several Hong Kong businessmen have been paying large sums of money for expensive Clivia. Yu Yaoyang happens to have two pots. He has agreed on a price of 50,000 yuan per pot through a middleman and is going to go to the nearby market to make the transaction.
50,000 for one pot, two pots would be 100,000.
Although Hao Mei had been speculating in flowers for a month or so and knew that this price was the market price, she was still nervous when she saw such a large amount of money involved.
"It's only 100,000. What are you afraid of? Those Hong Kong businessmen can get the flowers and sell them for 80,000. They won't touch our family for such a small amount of money." Ru Tang patted her belly after eating the banana. The two little kids inside kicked her hard.
She was not worried at all because all the men in the family had gone.
"Sister, is the market normal now? Why do I feel..." Gui Ning hesitated to speak.
She had been regarded as Rutang's lackey by her own parents and kicked out of the house.
Rutang simply kept her by his side and helped Guining to do a few orders. The girl is now financially free. Although her few thousand dollars is nothing compared to Rutang's family, for Guining, it is the basis for survival.
It was because Rutang had been so kind to her that Guining could speak freely.
"Not normal, right?" Rutang grabbed the apple and continued to eat it. After his family became rich, he could eat as much fruit as he wanted. He hoped that the skin of the baby in his belly would be better.
"The market is so scary right now. I heard that my parents want to borrow money to invest in orchids. They asked someone to inquire about me."
Gui Ning felt that even her parents in the countryside knew that this thing could make money, which meant that the situation here was too popular.
The news that Yu Yaoyang had made a fortune with his mother-in-law and his mother's family spread like wildfire in the village. Now people in his hometown thought that L City was full of money and any fool could make money there.
“When everyone wants to enter the capital market, it means the market is almost over. It will be hot for another two or three months. After reaching the peak, it will fluctuate up and down. There will definitely be a large number of retail investors like your parents entering the market.”
Rutang spoke of the cruel rules in a very relaxed tone.
All capital markets are like this. When big funds like hers have their fill and gradually withdraw, retail investors flock in and it becomes difficult to make money.
But retail investors do not know the principle of knowing when to quit and are eager to make money. The money of retail investors can last for a month or so, but the market at that time is no longer as surging as it is now.
Instead, the market goes up one day and down two days. Retail investors start to lose money, but they still hope that the market will come back. By the time they realize something is wrong and want to run, it is already too late.
The market plummeted, and no retail investor could escape; all were trapped.
The tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars that were spent in the past were now worthless.
The same is true for stocks. Those who make money are big investors. Retail investors may be lucky enough to get a share of the profits, but most of them are stuck and have to sell their stocks at a loss.
Rutang estimated that after she finished her confinement, this wave of market would be almost over, and then they could return to their hometown in batches.
Why not go together? Because her family is now well-known in L City. Once other big investors find out that they are gone, they will easily follow suit and withdraw their investments. At that time, it may trigger an avalanche in advance, causing the collapse to be brought forward.
Rutang just wanted to make a fortune quietly and didn't want to change history, so she planned to withdraw little by little later.
The two babies in her belly were probably only a month old at that time. It would be inconvenient for such young children to take the train. How about chartering a car?
Just as Rutang was thinking, a car horn sounded downstairs.
There are only a few government vehicles in this neighborhood, and you rarely hear horns on weekdays.
The horn kept honking. No one paid attention to it at first, but the constant honking was too arrogant. Xiao Li stood up and walked to the window, cursing, "Who is so arrogant? He has a car but doesn't even know his last name... Damn, my son?!"
Xiao Li covered her mouth. A Jiefang truck stopped downstairs. Yu Yaoyang stood in front of the car and waved at the people upstairs. Xiao Pin, Hao Wang and Xiao Yue stood in the truck bed, posing with their hands behind their backs.
I guess what these guys are thinking at this moment is: Look how handsome we are.
Xiao Li's pupils trembled, and she shouted to the women in the living room, "Come and see, our stupid bastards are going to be shot!"
