In 1994, Shenzhen was a city in dire need of reconstruction, brimming with vitality. Even though the city was not as prosperous as the port city, the Chinese people in 1994 were full of confidence in the future. Everyone felt that the country would one day soar into the sky like a giant dragon.
Zhou Jian'an looked dejected and out of place.
Zhou Jian'an came to Shenzhen from the South China Sea and felt a great sense of loss. He made many phone calls but could not reach Jiang Yu. It was as if Jiang Yu had disappeared from the world. No matter what Zhou Jian'an did, he could not get through to her.
Zhou Jian'an asked Zhou Chufei to go across the street to find Jiang Yu, only to discover that Jiang Yu had already moved away.
Zhou Jian'an was distraught. Xiaoyu wasn't that kind of person; she wouldn't abandon him. She loved him for who he was, not for his money. Xiaoyu must be held back by something or someone; she must have her reasons.
Zhou Jian'an went to the company in a daze. There were only a few dozen yuan left in the company account, which Zhou Jian'an took out. This was Zhou Jian'an's only savings. If he lost this money, Zhou Jian'an really didn't know what to do.
Zhou Jian'an didn't know what he could do. In the early 1990s, there were opportunities everywhere in Shenzhen. If he couldn't find a job, he could earn some money by carrying bricks on construction sites. But Zhou Jian'an couldn't do manual labor. Looking at the news in the newspaper, he realized that in this era, the most profitable thing was not real estate, but stock speculation.
Zhou Jian'an wasn't very good at stock trading, but he had a college education. If he could study the patterns of the stock market properly, he might be able to make a fortune again with this money.
Zhou Jian'an didn't eat or drink, spending all his time at the exchange. He remained still, not in a hurry to buy, but first observed what others had bought, why they bought those stocks, how they traded them, whether they made money, and if so, how much.
After spending two months at the exchange, Zhou Jian'an realized that people were becoming millionaires there every day.
However, to buy stocks, you need subscription coupons, and it's not easy for Zhou Jian'an to get these coupons. Fortunately, Zhou Jian'an also has a company, so by using his connections, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Zhou Jian'an analyzed other people's operations, learned knowledge little by little, followed behind others every day to watch, and pretended to know a lot.
He discovered that people who buy stocks are easily excited, and when people are excited, they are prone to doing irrational things. In other words, if you can take advantage of other people's desire to get rich, it is easy to find loopholes and make them fish in your net.
This is no different from running a mutual aid society. Buying stocks just sounds better. In essence, it's all gambling and following the crowd, hoping that someone will drop exclusive information from the sky and make them rich overnight.
People who want to get rich overnight will never lose their inherent greed.
This group of people is the easiest to fool, and all you need to do to fool them is to offer them some so-called exclusive trading information.
Zhou Jian'an secretly observed the situation and spent a little money to build good relationships with several traders at the exchange. These people only cared about money. If Zhou Jian'an paid them, they would be willing to teach him some basic knowledge and share any insider information with him. With the help of these people, Zhou Jian'an would sometimes trade with some big shots who had insider information.
Zhou Jian'an buys whichever stock the bigwigs buy.
Zhou Jian'an does the same thing as the big shots who short sell.
He also discovered a way to make a lot of money: buy a large number of stocks, drive up the stock price, and then sell them all at a high price after the stock hits its daily limit.
This method wouldn't work in later generations, but in the information-isolated 1990s, Zhou Jian'an's approach was entirely feasible. However, Zhou Jian'an didn't have much money, so he could only slowly figure it out. Through information provided by traders, Zhou Jian'an followed the big shots' operations and used the methods he had developed. In just a few days, he actually made some money.
Zhou Jian'an invested a total of 200,000 yuan. In less than seven days, the 200,000 yuan became 270,000 yuan. After another half month, the 270,000 yuan became 350,000 yuan. Zhou Jian'an could earn tens of thousands of yuan every day, which is quite rare in the entire market.
In the era when everyone was investing in stocks, people would go to the stock exchange before dawn. Zhou Jia'an was there every day. He never missed out on short selling, and he always made money when he bought stocks. Retail investors, seeing how good he was, all thought he had some unique secret.
Mr. Zhao Weimin is a local of Pengcheng. Last month, he heard people say that you could make money by investing in stocks. Mr. Zhao Weimin didn't believe it at first, but after investing a few times, he actually made several thousand yuan.
Grandpa Zhao Weimin made several thousand from 20,000 yuan. The interest was higher than that of loan sharks. He was overjoyed and spent every day at the stock exchange studying stock prices. He was just like a seasoned stock investor. However, like most retail investors, Grandpa Zhao Weimin could talk a good game about stocks, but he didn't know how to trade stocks at all.
Mr. Zhao Weimin quickly lost half of his 20,000 yuan.
He refused to admit defeat, believing that losses could be followed by gains. He thought he was just unlucky and that if he were lucky, he could double his money. So, Mr. Zhao took out all his retirement savings, hoping to find excitement in the stock market, turn his fortune around, and earn back his retirement savings.
After observing for a few days, Grandpa Zhao Weimin discovered that this comrade named Zhou Jian'an was very stable in his operations and made money every day. He made quite a lot of money; he could make 30,000 yuan from buying 100,000 yuan worth of stocks and over 100,000 yuan from buying 500,000 yuan worth. Grandpa Zhao was envious of the speed at which he made money.
Grandpa Zhao came over and struck up a conversation, "Young man, I've noticed that you always trade very steadily. Have you studied the stock market? Or do you have some inside information?"
Zhou Jian'an smiled meaningfully. "See? The fish are here now. Who says that cheating money has to be the traditional kind of cheating? Stock market hype is also cheating. This kind of cheating is disguised as finance so that Zhou Jian'an won't break the law."
