The days of the Chinese New Year always seem to fly by.
It seems like the Lantern Festival has arrived before we knew it.
In Beijing, there are also customs of eating glutinous rice balls and appreciating lanterns.
Gu Wei spent a pleasant Lantern Festival with his family before flying to Haicheng.
With about ten days to go before the first stock subscription certificate lottery ceremony, many resellers of subscription certificates have appeared outside the gates of several major securities companies.
By the end of February, as various rumors began to circulate, the price of the hundred consecutive subscription certificates also rose from the original price of three thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
However, Gu Wei, who held a large number of subscription certificates, chose to remain inactive.
Because he knew that after the first lottery, the price of the purchase certificate on the black market skyrocketed.
On the afternoon of March 2nd, Haicheng held its first stock subscription certificate lottery ceremony, which was broadcast live to the public on television.
The shares of seven companies were issued through a lottery, with a total issuance of 7.05 million shares with a par value of 10 yuan.
According to the lottery results, the winning subscription certificates can be used to purchase 50 shares each of Zhongcheng Industry and Special Steel Pipe, and 30 shares of other stocks. The winning rate was 10.3%.
Some people bought stock subscription certificates but didn't expect the winning rate to be so high. They lacked the funds to subscribe to new shares. Some people had already made back the money they spent on the subscription certificates after winning the lottery, and sold them when they saw someone buying them.
Some people saw that the winning rate of the first lottery was so high, and there would be several more lotteries throughout the year, so they thought that buying second-hand subscription certificates was also an opportunity. As a result, a one-and-a-half-level market for private trading of stock subscription certificates has formed in many places in Haicheng.
Gu Wei knew the saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," so he kept a low profile and quietly made his fortune.
A few days later, he took the money he got from selling some of the subscription certificates and the cash he had on hand, totaling five million, and invested it in Haicheng's stock account.
The VIP room leased by the securities company was divided into several cubicles.
Each cubicle has a leather sofa and coffee table, as well as a large-screen color television.
Some people watch the stock market fluctuate, while others drink tea and chat.
Gu Wei was leisurely sitting on the sofa flipping through a newspaper when a pair of shiny black leather shoes came into view.
He looked up at the person who had come and found that the other person was a well-dressed man who looked to be in his thirties, with bronze skin, strong features, and a very upright gaze.
After exchanging polite greetings, the other person introduced themselves.
"My name is Zhao Heng, and I've been watching you for several days now."
Gu Wei's eyes flickered slightly. For someone who didn't want to be the center of attention, this was hardly a pleasant thing.
In particular, he didn't spend much time in the VIP room each day. He would usually stay for an hour to check on the stock market before returning to the modern world.
As Zhou Wenyi's pregnancy progressed, her appetite became more demanding, and as a model husband, he naturally had to try his best to satisfy her.
"Really? May I ask why?"
Zhao Heng smiled and said, "Of course. First of all, you are more composed than others, without the slightest anxiety. In addition, your image and temperament make you hard to ignore. Also, I think I met you briefly a few years ago when I was on a business trip."
Gu Wei raised an eyebrow and carefully examined the person in front of him.
To be honest, his eyebrows and facial features do look somewhat familiar.
But I just can't remember where I've seen it before.
He scratched his forehead. "Sorry, I don't quite remember. Could you give me a hint?"
Zhao Heng waved his hand and laughed, "No need to be embarrassed. That time it was at a restaurant in Harbin. We were sitting at the next table. You advised a male friend to love himself first before loving others, which resonated with me a lot, so I have a deep impression of you."
After hearing his words, Gu Wei immediately remembered that he should have had dinner with Xu Kailin. He vaguely remembered that there was such a person, and his attitude became warmer. "Your Excellency has a good memory. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten."
Zhao Heng's smile deepened. "That's normal, after all, we didn't talk back then."
A chance encounter many years ago quickly bridged the gap between the two, transforming them from strangers to acquaintances.
Soon after, they went to a restaurant for a meal.
Through their conversation, Gu Wei also learned some things about Zhao Heng.
He was from Beijing, but was admitted to a university in Haicheng. After graduation, he was assigned to a design institute, and later went into business.
The two then naturally became good friends.
Although Zhao Heng didn't say it explicitly, Gu Wei could sense that the other party's family background was extraordinary. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to buy so frantically when the stock price remained stagnant for two consecutive weeks, went public with a blank slate, and the price was even a few cents lower than before the lottery.
Starting in mid-April, an elderly man's speech appeared in newspapers one after another, and the stock market seemed to be injected with adrenaline. The number of listed stocks increased from the original plan of 10 for the whole year to 53, and the upward trend continued.
On May 21, the stock exchange announced the full liberalization of Haicheng's stock price.
In just three days, the entire market turned blood red.
Countless enthusiastic people are pouring money into the stock market, believing there is still a lot of room for growth.
At this critical moment, Gu Wei summoned the trader to liquidate his positions.
This shocked many people in the VIP room.
"What a great upward trend!"
"Yeah, selling instead of buying, how stupid!"
"It's good that it sold out, it's perfect timing to buy it..."
Zhao Heng's eyes were bloodshot. He didn't quite understand Gu Wei's actions either. He leaned closer and whispered, "Selling now would be too much of a loss! Why don't you wait a bit longer?"
Gu Wei knew Zhao Heng meant well, but the stock market is unpredictable, and heaven and hell may be just a thought away.
He lowered his voice and said, "I'm not waiting anymore... Brother Heng, I believe in contentment, knowing when to stop, and taking what I can get."
