Chapter 178 178
In the stock market, there is a metaphysics called "every eight will fall, every nine will rise".
1998 is no exception.
The Asian financial crisis in 1997 continued to affect 1998. In 1997 and 1998, the stock market continued to fall, and countless stockholders lost their homes.
Until 1999, the stock market exploded.
But in such a stock market disaster, not all stocks fell. In 1998, due to the severe flood, stocks related to water conservancy were all rising, such as Sanxia Water Conservancy. In addition, due to the introduction of wireless communication technology, most of the technology stocks in that year also rose. The most famous one, which even people who don't trade stocks in the future basically know, is Yike stock.
Among them, an electronic technology company had the highest annual increase of 308%.
Floods are natural disasters. Relying on her own ability alone, she cannot fight against the disasters of nature, nor can she change this. Even experienced farmers like Uncle Jiang have been doing flood prevention work since last year when they saw the abnormal weather this year. They have increased the planting of sweet potatoes and wheat, and of course, rice, otherwise why would so many farmlands be left uncultivated? With the river embankment and dam blocking the way, their flood prevention work is much better now than it was decades ago.
As long as the water level does not exceed the river embankment and dam, no matter how heavy the rainfall is, it will not affect the farmland on the dam side.
However, Jiang Qi decided to buy some clothes and food to donate to her hometown and disaster-stricken areas.
The reason why she wanted to do this personally was because her hometown had been hit by disasters several times, but the donated materials from all over the country had never been distributed to the real victims. As soon as the materials arrived in the town, they were snatched up by the schools and the people in the town. In fact, they were not the disaster-stricken group. The real disaster-stricken group was the farmers in the town who really relied on the farmland to support their families.
She still remembered that in her previous life, when she lived off-campus, a girl from the town who shared a room with her proudly talked about the scene when she was a child snatching disaster relief supplies. Everyone went to snatch from the big truck, and whoever snatched the first thing got it. She showed off her fighting ability and said that her mother took her to snatch several sets of schoolbags and clothes donated by kind people.
Thinking of herself in the dark night, the captain of the boat was electrocuted because he hit the power line and fell into the raging flood, the sad and scared cries of the whole boat, the miserable cries of the captain's wife for help, and the scene of many people standing on their own waterproof platform, looking at the endless flood that submerged all the farmland, Jiang Xi couldn't help but feel sad.
Her hometown is just a microcosm of the larger environment. Other places that were hit harder by the disaster may have suffered more than her hometown, and the so-called disaster relief work may be even less effective.
Thinking of this, she suppressed the bad images in her memory, and after opening an account, she began to buy the stocks she wanted.
She is certainly not a stock trading expert, but she has seen all these data reports.
People usually don't count stocks with small gains, and basically the data that are counted are the highest in history. Jiang Xi's spare time from work, in addition to writing, is reading. Writing is her only way to release her emotions, and reading is her spiritual food. No matter how busy or tired she is at work, she is unshakable and reads for half an hour before going to bed.
Just like the lyrics of the song "Silence is Gold" that accompanied me for countless days and nights in those years, many spiritual deficiencies can be broadened and enriched by reading various books.
At present, this electronics company has not yet been listed. Jiang Xi made a move at this time to accumulate original funds for the stock market boom next year and the subsequent floods.
The funds she currently has in her hands may seem a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the entire market environment, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Jiang Xi understands better than anyone that no matter what you do or what industry you are in, if you want to develop, you can't do without money, otherwise Mr. Xu, a real estate tycoon in his previous life, would not have to meet so many provincial/commission/top/bosses.
The sixth day of the Lunar New Year was also the day when the stock exchange went to work. The people at the stock exchange did not expect that in the stock market crash last year, when many stockholders jumped off buildings, there would still be people who dared to open an account at this time and jump into this deep pit. They could not help but confirm with her again and again, "Do you really want to open an account?"
Jiang Xi also confirmed with him again and again: "Yes, please help me open an account."
In order to prevent her, like a butterfly, from accidentally flapping her wings and causing a storm she didn't know about, she did not invest all her money in one stock like gambling on Solitaire, but instead invested in the ten stocks with the best gains this year.
Jiang Xi studied liberal arts, why did he think that she could learn it without learning it just by looking at it? Because her memory was good enough, the books she read were messy and miscellaneous, and that book just happened to record the ten stocks with the best gains in that year, not one more.
And this year, all the stocks added together were less than 200, and it was very easy to find the ten stocks that she was familiar with among these 200 stocks. She even wrote down other stocks that appeared in the books she read at this time. It was not enough for her to remember it in her mind, she also wrote it down in a small notebook.
For example, she remembered that the A-share had the highest gain in the past 30 years, with a total gain of more than 10,000%. There were
also several famous wine companies in later generations, especially the one that was called the most expensive stock of the year.
She was not a person without courage. She copied the ready-made answer directly when it was placed in front of her. She wanted to take a big risk. In addition to keeping 20,000 yuan as a reserve, she invested all the existing funds in her hands, and went to the bank to mortgage ten houses in Shanghai. During
the winter vacation, due to the popularity of "White Snake", not only "The Years When I Was a White Snake Cultivator" became popular, but also her current "Golden Guards" and "The Song Dynasty" which had been completed also saw a surge in sales, which also brought her a lot of income.
If Jiang Guotai saw the money she invested in the stock market, he might doubt his life, because the money Jiang invested in the stock market was more than the cash flow he had before.
Because of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the stocks she bought are currently at their lowest point in history. It is still the beginning of the year, and she does not expect these ten stocks to rise to the heights in the data table she saw when the floods come from June to August. She just needs to keep rising until the best stock of the year is listed. After paying off the bank mortgage loan, she will use part of the money to buy disaster relief supplies, part of it to invest in this stock, and part of it to continue buying Yike and a certain wine, and wait for 1999 to come.
The whole city was covered with rain, but Jiang Gui's heart was full of hope.
At Jiang Xi's reminder, Jiang Bai also took the passbook that he had put on his chest and was a little warm, and wanted to go to the store at the school gate to have a look. Seeing that school had not started yet, the street behind the school was empty, and there was no one, which made him feel a little disappointed. In
this situation, he definitely couldn't open the store to do business. Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly remembered that his sister bought a house and two shops in the community behind the school last year
. He thought that if he wanted to buy a shop, he might as well follow his sister and buy one together with her so that he could take care of her in the future, so he got up and walked towards the community behind the school.
This community is only separated from their school by a road. Although there is a formal back door, there are two small doors in the middle of the wall, each one person wide, that can be used to enter the school. Entering through these small doors is the boys' dormitory area.
He will stay in this school for another three and a half years. Buying a shop here will make it very convenient for him to go in and out.
The community has been mostly built, but it still looks very desolate because there are no people. Jiang Bai was worried that there would be no one here, but he didn't expect that on the sixth day of the New Year, the place was already open for business.
Jiang Bai was the first customer to come here after the New Year.
When the salesperson learned that he was here to buy a shop, he immediately came to greet him enthusiastically.
The reason why he was so enthusiastic was, of course, because of the impact of the Asian financial crisis last year, especially Shanghai, which is also the financial and commercial center of the country. It was also greatly affected by the stock market crash. The most direct impact on the real estate industry was that although house prices did not fall, the number of people who came to buy houses and shops dropped sharply.
The big boss who developed their real estate project was also one of the people affected by the stock market crash. Even these big bosses in the financial circle were the ones who were most affected. Those who became rich overnight were always the fewest, and more people suffered heavy losses in this stock market crash.
The developer was eager to sell the houses to get back the funds, so the sales staff at the bottom of the building were under great pressure. When they heard that Jiang Bo wanted to buy a shop, they actively recommended it to Jiang Bo. After learning that the two best and largest shops on this road were bought by his sister, and that he wanted to buy a shop next to or near his sister, the sales staff immediately took Jiang Bo to see the shops.
Jiang Bo himself was also a man of action. Once he made up his mind and liked the one, he did not hesitate at all. He quickly signed the contract and was taken to the bank by the sales staff to apply for a loan.
The people at the sales office had never seen the movie White Snake. Nowadays, very few people can actually go to the cinema to watch movies. But the lady at the bank counter had seen White Snake. Jiang Bai now dresses himself up like a walking clothes rack, showing how good his clothes look. He has no idea that he is "famous". He went to the bank with a plain face. Naturally, he was recognized by the lady at the bank counter, who then called their manager.
Because of Jiang Bai's identity as a movie actor, although his source of income is not fixed, he is still recognized by the bank as a group with stable income. In addition, he has a house under his name. The loan review was passed in two days and Jiang Bai was granted a loan.
After all, the shop was already built. When Jiang Bo went to see it, he was beaming with joy. After all, the ready-made things were placed there, visible and tangible. Jiang Bo had already thought about opening a small hotel here in the future. The school was full of students, so he should have no worries about business if he opened a hotel here.
As for the motorcycle repair shop or even the car repair shop he originally planned, the back of this community was all fertile fields and wasteland, and the surrounding roads were inaccessible. No cars from outside drove here. If he opened a car repair shop here, he would probably not see a single car. A bicycle repair shop was more reliable than a car repair shop. After all, not everyone in the university had a bicycle, but 80% of the students had bicycles.
Jiang Bai thought that if he could find a bicycle manufacturer, he could buy some bicycles and sell them in the shop like his sister did.
If you buy a bicycle from him, he will provide after-sales repair for four years. If you have enough money, you can also buy a few motorcycles in the shop. Even if you can't sell them, it's cool to ride them yourself. It makes you feel comfortable every day.
Jiang Bai thought about his beautiful future, like a happy puppy, full of hope for the future. He walked back and forth in the shop, wishing he could hang up a bicycle repair sign immediately and make money quickly. If he made money, he would have money to buy bicycles to sell.
At this time, he had completely forgotten that he had a duplex apartment waiting for him to move in.
He originally bought a pre-sale property. Last year, due to the impact of the Asian financial crisis, the construction of this property was suspended for a period of time. This was also the reason why the money manager went out on his own last year.
Jiang Bai did not feel very real about this apartment for which he had to pay a huge mortgage of 500 yuan every month. He even did not feel that he still had a house. After all, when he bought this house, there was nothing on the construction site. It was really hard for people to feel involved. It was
not until the staff there called and told him to bring the contract and documents to apply for the real estate certificate that he realized belatedly that he still had a house. Because the person who contacted him was not the money manager who sold him the house, he was afraid that he had encountered a scammer, so he called Jiang Qi who had already returned to Beijing.
Jiang Xi called Manager Qian.
Manager Qian wanted to take over the renovation of Jiang Bai's house, so he took Jiang Bai to get the real estate certificate.
He had been doing this for several years and was familiar with the people in various related departments, but something went wrong when getting the certificate.
Jiang Bai used all the money he had to pay the down payment for the shop, so he had no money to pay the tax.
