Chapter 453 Leading all villagers to invest in stocks
Ma San didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere in the living room fell silent in an instant.
After a while, Zhou Yong changed the subject: "Son, I have good news for you. You have been recommended..."
Li Jing'an now had no idea about admission by recommendation. After listening to Zhou Yong's words, he just said "oh", which made Ma San feel helpless.
"Jing'an, if you are recommended for admission, you don't have to go to high school. Do you know what this means?"
Li Jingan blinked and said something shocking: "It means I should study less!"
Ma San and Zhou Yong looked at each other. After all, Li Jing'an was only fifteen years old, so his remarks were completely understandable.
Li Caiyun interjected, "Son, you're going to college soon. You can't bring a snake with you to school, right?"
Li Jingan lowered his head, thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't go to college."
His words made Li Caiyun's blood pressure soar. Zhou Yong looked up at the roof and saw Ma San was already disheveled in the wind.
The three people took turns to persuade Li Jing'an, and finally he agreed to go to college on the condition that he must be allowed to raise the snake and bring it back.
Li Caiyun opened her mouth and almost cursed, but in the end she chose to compromise.
The plan succeeded, and Li Jingan smiled like a little fox, making Zhou Yong not know whether to cry or laugh.
Li Jing'an happily took the snake back to the second floor. Li Caiyun looked hopeless: "This brat is trying to piss me off to death."
Zhou Yong comforted his wife, and Ma San looked at the time and prepared to go home.
"Why go home? Eat at my house tonight and we can have a drink."
Ma San did think about it. The key point was that he had to go to the factory to take a look, and then take the last bus to the county, because he had to attend an important meeting at the Education Bureau tomorrow morning.
After seeing Ma San off, Zhou Yong was still in a good mood. Although Li Caiyun was a little depressed, when she thought that Li Jingan was about to leave home at a young age to study abroad alone, she felt relieved about his raising snakes.
Life passed quietly in the dullness, and before Zhou Yong noticed, time had quietly slipped to the end of August.
On this day, Zhou Yong received two good news. One was that Li Jingen got a place in his unit to study abroad, and the other was that he made 100 million yuan from the stocks he asked Wei Guoan to buy.
Li Caiyun was already unable to react when she heard the news. She came to her senses and looked at Zhou Yong: "What did you just say?"
Zhou Yong repeated what he said, and Li Caiyun looked away in a daze: "I seem to be hallucinating. Are you telling me that you made 100 million from the stocks you bought?"
"Xiao Yun, you are not hallucinating. The stocks I bought skyrocketed, so I made 100 million..."
Li Caiyun blinked her eyes to make sure she was not hallucinating, let alone hallucination. She fainted with excitement.
Zhou Yong was frightened. He hugged Li Caiyun, patted her face, and then pinched her philtrum.
After a while, Li Caiyun opened her eyes. She looked at Zhou Yong and hugged him excitedly.
The smile on Zhou Yong's face revealed deep helplessness.
Just one hundred million was enough to make Li Caiyun faint with excitement. If he told his wife honestly that he had a fortune of billions, how would Li Caiyun react?
Zhou Yong swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and thought to himself: Let’s just let things take their own course and don’t let my wife get upset again.
When Li Hongjun learned about this, he took out 500,000 yuan without saying a word, ready to test the depth of the stock market.
Not only did he invest money in stocks, but Li Hongliang, Li Caixia, Zhao Min, Sun Qing, Li Ming, Cao Biao and others also followed Zhou Yong to play stocks.
Relying on his reborn prophetic ability, Zhou Yong was able to multiply everyone's investment by hundreds of times in just a few months, even when the stock market was in a severe bear market.
The news soon spread in the village. Relatives and friends all came to Zhou Yong, hoping that he could lead them in stock trading.
One can make a lot of money from stocks, but there are great risks involved. Zhou Yong naturally would not agree to such a request, but he could not resist the increasing number of people coming to him for help.
Not only that, Zhao Min’s relatives, Li’s relatives, and many, many more people, all acted like crazy!
He pestered those who bought stocks every day, and some people even acted like rogues and left their money directly at Zhou Yong's house.
Gradually, more and more people came looking for Zhou Yong, to the point where he didn't dare to go home.
Finally, Zhou Yong was forced to convene a collective meeting of villagers to discuss the risks of stocks.
After all, it is an investment, and Zhou Yong cannot guarantee that he will make a profit every time he buys stocks.
Zhou Yong said everything he needed to say, but the villagers were determined to trade stocks with him.
Under such circumstances, it was inappropriate for him to only take his relatives and friends to trade stocks. In order to repay the villagers for their support for his work over the years, Zhou Yong finally chose to compromise.
However, Zhou Yong had stated in advance that each household could not invest more than 20,000 yuan in stocks. Even if this amount of money is compensated, it will not be a big deal for the villagers of Huaixi Village.
After investing more than 60 million yuan into the stock market, Zhou Yong became a little anxious in the following days.
Although each villager only invested 20,000 yuan, it was still a certain amount of pressure for him.
Every day Zhou Yong would communicate with Wei Guoan over the phone about the stock market situation and buy and sell stocks as appropriate.
Time soon came to the end of 1993. Zhou Yong seized the opportunity and sold all his stocks.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the money earned from stocks finally arrived in the account of Huaixi Village Brigade. On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the villagers came to the brigade to collect the money through the radio.
As a result of this investment, the villagers of Huaixi Village made a lot of money, and the investment of each household increased by more than fifty times.
The villagers all had smiling faces, their brows filled with joy. They filled sacks with heavy money and carried the money home happily.
However, after the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yong got into trouble because of problems with the bank account flow of Huaixi Village and someone's report.
Old Lu knew that Zhou Yong led the entire village to speculate in stocks, and he was also involved in it.
However, stock trading involves great risks after all. Therefore, when the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission learned about this, they not only severely criticized Zhou Yong's behavior, but also repeatedly ordered him not to lead the villagers in stock trading.
Zhou Yong wrote a letter of guarantee, and the leaders of the Discipline Inspection Commission let him go.
Arriving at Chen Pingliang's office, Zhou Yong rubbed his face and said, "Thank you!"
Chen Pingliang bared his teeth: "With our relationship, wouldn't it be awkward to say thank you?"
Zhou Yong looked at Chen Pingliang and said, "I have already written a letter of guarantee that I will not lead anyone to speculate in stocks in the future."
This incident caused a big stir, with many people participating in reporting him. Some people even mailed the report letter to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. If Chen Pingliang had not secretly protected Zhou Yong, he would most likely have been punished and his personal assets would have been thoroughly investigated.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Pingliang's smile froze on his face.
"We just wanted to talk to you. The disciplinary inspection officers didn't do anything to you. Is it necessary for you to be like this? Besides, even if something happens, don't I still have you?"
Chen Pingliang has made a lot of money from stocks. If Zhou Yong stops investing in stocks, it will be a loss for him.
Zhou Yong glared at Chen Pingliang and said, "You are the county magistrate after all, can you not be so obsessed with money?"
Chen Pingliang cleared his throat: "What's wrong with the county magistrate? Isn't the county magistrate also a human being? Besides, who would complain about having too much money?"
Zhou Yong chuckled: "Anyway, I won't touch stocks anymore, so this matter ends here..."
