If you want to sell tea, you have to find a big boss. Only in this place can you easily find a group of bosses who can buy tea.
They went door-to-door with great difficulty the day before yesterday, and tried their best to find ways to sell tea, but in the end they didn't even get a glimpse of the boss's clothes.
Liu Gang's eyes sparkled.
Teacher Su is really great, but how can they get these bosses to buy tea
Before arriving at the stock exchange, Su Ye took Mr. He and Liu Gang to Renren Department Store to buy two suits, and went to the hair salon to get their hair done. After they were dressed up and looked presentable, they were taken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The poor guy was probably stopped by the staff before he even walked in.
"Although the Hong Kong stock market was affected by the second dollar crisis last year and was sluggish for a time, I believe that the inauguration of the new US president can change this situation. According to public opinion statistics, this president has the highest approval rating in US history."
Su Ye spoke a string of words in English to Teacher He. Teacher He seemed to agree and look at her with admiration, but he didn't understand what she was saying. He just nodded according to Su Ye's script.
Although 1,000 shares of Jardine Matheson were not a lot, they met the entry threshold for trading, but were far from the level of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
But if you don't have the qualifications, other places will come to make up for it, isn't that just showing off
This Su Ye is still good.
Su Ye spoke to her "bodyguard" in fluent English, "I've looked around and there aren't any stocks worth buying here."
This sentence explains her behavior of buying 1,000 shares just now. Su Ye didn't have money to buy them, but she still believed that Hong Kong stocks had no investment value.
Su Ye said, "In recent years, Silicon Valley in the United States has developed very quickly. It is very profitable to buy airline and electronics stocks. But Jardine Matheson is not bad either."
She spoke in English and mixed in a sentence in Cantonese, "There are too many stocks that have been put into the market. You deserve to be put into the market because you keep focusing on Hong Kong stocks."
Su Ye and his group attracted the attention of shareholders at the stock exchange.
This group of "those who are interested in buying stocks" are not the ones who are interested in buying stocks. The stockholders' faces turned pale.
In 1960, the stock market was very depressed due to the second dollar crisis. Now it has just entered a small bull market, and everyone is completely unaware of the upcoming small bull market. The greener the stock market, the greener their faces are.
However, the New Year finally brought a new look. The red vests (traders) kept answering the phone and shuttling around the huge exchange. Early stock trading could not be automated, and traders needed to complete trading instructions by dialing the phone. These traders who answered the phone wore red vests, so they were also called red vests.
Su Ye was soon approached by a stockholder, "Brother, you are quite arrogant."
This middle-aged man, wearing an untidy black suit and a thick gold necklace around his neck, spoke Cantonese. Su Ye's Cantonese was extremely unstandard, so he could only answer in English.
People who don't know her think she is pretending to be cool, because she can speak Cantonese but deliberately uses English to talk to others. But Teacher He knows that Su Ye is indeed pretending to be cool, but she really can't speak Cantonese.
In this era, only the wealthy people in Hong Kong who have contact with foreigners can speak English. The middle-aged man is called Yu Peng. He is fat and looks simple and honest, like a local boss from the mainland.
Yu Peng called a translator over, "Little brother, wait for me to call a translator."
Su Ye nodded slightly, "No need."
Yu Peng is a pure mainlander. He went to Taiwan from the mainland to seek opportunities to make money for many years, and then moved to Hong Kong. Now he has taken root in Hong Kong. The inauguration of the new US president has made him smell the stock market opportunities, and he wants to take this opportunity to make a fortune in the stock market.
The translator translated what Su Ye had just said when he entered the room, and Yu Peng became very interested. Among the mainland bosses, everyone was studying real estate, but Yu Peng was quite knowledgeable about the stock market. If you want to study the stock market, you can't avoid the Dow Jones of the US stock market.
"Brother, what stocks did you just buy?" Yu Peng asked.
Su Ye replied, "Yihe."
It turned out to be a stock that had not yet been listed. Yu Peng was a little disappointed. He enthusiastically shared the stock he bought.
Jardine Matheson Holdings is a very good bull stock, and the subscription scene was once very hot, but compared with other stocks in the same period, it is still a younger brother. For example, the stock of Coca-Cola has risen more than 460,000 times from the time of the first move to the time of Su Ye. Another example is the US stock Altria and tobacco stocks during this period. If you buy $1 now, you will get a return of $6 million in the 21st century, which is 163 times that of other industries.
Su Ye replied to Yu Peng, "The stocks of Fosun and Landmark are also good, but I think there are more valuable stocks for investment."
Before Yu Peng could react, she took Teacher He and Liu Gang away from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Stocks with "greater investment value"? Yu Peng pondered over this sentence again and again. Which stock should he choose
Two days later, Jardine Matheson's shares were officially listed, and the share price rose to 31.25 yuan on the day of listing.
Investors who were lucky enough to subscribe to Jardine Matheson's shares made a lot of money, but investors who were still shrouded in fear of the bear market chose to sell Jardine Matheson on the day of listing. However, unexpectedly, it continued to rise in the days after listing.
At the same time, the entire stock market was rising sharply. Among the stocks of Jardine Matheson, the performance was very dazzling, and all the shareholders who held Jardine Matheson went crazy. The birth of the bull market brought out a group of new speculative stock investors, injecting a batch of fresh blood into the stock market.
Yu Peng was originally mocked by his friends for "losing everything" in the stock market, but unexpectedly, things changed in the blink of an eye and he suddenly became "rich".
On the day when Jardine Matheson went public, Yu Peng watched the red vests running around busy, and Jardine Matheson's stock price kept jumping, his eyelids and heart kept beating. He subconsciously paid attention to the other two stocks mentioned by Su Ye, and as expected, the other two were also very dazzling.
He was extremely looking forward to Su Ye's arrival at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Yu Peng was drinking with his friends and after getting drunk he accidentally revealed the stocks of Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf Holdings that Su Ye mentioned.
Every bullish stock is more than just simple good luck. Yu Peng's friends all advised him to "make an appointment" with Su Ye to talk. But where could Yu Peng find Su Ye? He didn't even know Su Ye's name!
Yu Peng had no choice but to wait at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange every day, waiting for Su Ye to come. She bought 1,000 Jardine Matheson shares, so she couldn't possibly never come to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in her lifetime, right
…
Teacher He sent a telegram to Li Ming, asking him and Lin Yuan to transport all the tea in the village to the port city. Su Ye said in the telegram, "No need to pack it, you can also ship it in bulk, as much as you can."
"All?" Li Ming was dumbfounded. They sold all 10,000 kilograms of tea
Not only did they not sell out, they didn’t even sell 100 kilograms of tea! Mr. He, who was in Hong Kong, sighed.
Since returning from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that day, Su Ye no longer allowed them to go out to set up stalls, and she herself did not look for ways to sell the goods. She just took Liu Gang to the night market to eat and drink every day.
The high cost of food, accommodation and transportation weighed heavily on Teacher He's mind. They were spending the hard-earned money of the farmers in Shanggou Village! Teacher He couldn't sleep every night and wished he could hang up Su Ye, who had always been the shopkeeper, and beat him up.
The only thing Su Ye did these days was to read the entertainment and financial newspapers in Hong Kong. What made Teacher He a little relieved was that she knew how to save money. She didn't read the latest newspaper, but packed a sack of outdated newspapers for a few dollars.
A few days ago, she was thinking for a long time while holding a newspaper. Teacher He leaned in to take a look and saw the eye-catching headline that made her hair stand on end: "The eldest son of Hong Kong tycoon Huang Jiaqi was kidnapped."
The description is bloody and chilling.
Teacher He thought that the mainland was better.
Although Hong Kong is prosperous and free from poverty and famine, there are gangs everywhere, and the public security is not comparable to that of the mainland. In the mainland, if you fight on the streets, you will be arrested and sent to jail. If a man and a woman are not husband and wife, holding hands is considered hooliganism. How can it be like Hong Kong
When he was walking around Tsim Sha Tsui Night Market, he saw a bunch of young men and women hugging and kissing in the street, and his eyes almost popped out.
Su Ye faced Teacher He's disappointed look. She stretched and yawned, saying, "Teacher He, you don't understand this. Our chance has come. We will return to the mainland next week."
It always takes some time to build momentum. Just when everyone wanted to find her, she showed up immediately. Does she still want to show up
During this period of time, of course, we should enjoy the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism. When we have enjoyed enough, we will go back to build a new socialist countryside with energy.
A week later, Su Ye went to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
This time, there were obviously more people chatting with her. Yu Peng pushed aside the crowd and said to Su Ye, "Brother, I see you again. I know a few bosses from the mainland, and they don't know how to buy stocks. I think you have a good understanding of this industry, so I'll introduce you to someone."
In just a few days, Jardine's share price has tripled!
Yu Peng thought that if he had followed Su Ye's lead in buying things last time, wouldn't he have been the one to make a complete comeback
Not only "shark fin with rice", but also "big bull light cigarette" is also available. The so-called big bull is a 500 Hong Kong dollar note.
There were a number of big bosses who moved to Hong Kong from southern Fujian and Chaozhou in the 1930s and 1940s. They accumulated their first original capital through speculation. They caught up with the booming economy of Hong Kong and became famous figures on the Forbes list many years later. But in the 1960s, to be honest, they were just a group of farmers who came ashore without washing their feet.
This group of newly rich people in Hong Kong City, stripped of that glamorous appearance, is actually very weak. But they still control most of the resources of the future Hong Kong City, which is more than enough to buy some tea. This is exactly the group that Su Ye is targeting.
Su Ye is "not interested" in these big bosses, and will not do business with them if they come to him!
Yu Peng squinted and said, "Little brother, I didn't have time to ask you what you do last time. My name is Yu Peng, and I invest in real estate."
Su Ye said, "My name is Wu Ming, which means "tomorrow". My ancestors were feng shui masters."
"Feng Shui for people" is a humble statement. Feng Shui masters hold a very high status in the eyes of Hong Kong people. Hong Kong people believe in superstition very much. People with means will hire Feng Shui masters for weddings and funerals. Real estate developers will also hire Feng Shui masters to calculate the date and direction of the house when building a building. Rich people will even hire Feng Shui masters to name their house.
There are real Feng Shui masters, and there are also frauds who are just swindling. Su Ye is young and doesn't look very reliable. Yu Peng is obviously not interested in her career and just wants to know the stocks she said are "more valuable for investment".
Su Ye waved a paper fan and said, "Jardine Matheson will take the shares I calculated."
The bosses around him were all skeptical, but after all, he was the one who bought a stock that tripled in value. What if someone really calculated it
Teacher He then realized that the stocks Su Ye bought had tripled in value. He was surprised and delighted. No wonder she had been busy eating and drinking these days! If he had known earlier, he would have joined them and eaten and drank together!
Having seen the dark side of Hong Kong as revealed by Hong Kong's entertainment newspapers, Mr. He thought that fortunately Su Ye did not have the capital to buy hundreds of thousands of stocks in one go like the big bosses, otherwise they might have been kidnapped as soon as they walked out of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today.
This group of local bosses were obviously choked for a moment. Although they were superstitious, they were not that superstitious.
They asked: "Master Wu, can you calculate other bullish stocks?"
"Haha, can Feng Shui also predict the stock market?"
Su Ye said calmly amid the distrustful gazes of the crowd: "Feng Shui permeates every aspect of life. It is used to seek wealth, avoid evil and ward off disasters. The stock market is not for seeking wealth. Speaking of avoiding evil..." She counted with her fingers.
"The boss surnamed Huang in Hong Kong is having bad luck recently. The disaster has affected his family. He will have a bloody disaster in a few days."
Few people believed Su Ye's words. The wealthy Huang Jiaqi had hired many bodyguards to protect him day and night because his son was kidnapped a few years ago. How could he be kidnapped under such circumstances
Su Ye said it unintentionally, but Yu Peng and this group of bosses seemed to have intentions. A few days later, Huang Jiaqi, a famous rich man in Gangcheng, was unexpectedly kidnapped.
This is one of the ten great mysteries in Hong Kong history, the "Three Wolf Case". Three hooligans captured the son of a wealthy businessman, cut off the child's ears and sent them to the businessman, threatening him to get a ransom. After a few years, they spent all the money and kidnapped the businessman again. At that time, the hooligans wore wolf masks, so it was called the "Three Wolf Case". This incident was later made into a movie and widely circulated. Su Ye remembered this incident when he saw the newspaper.
After the billionaire Huang Jiaqi was kidnapped, all the bosses of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange were discussing the matter. Because Yu Peng had a closer relationship with "Wu Ming", he was asked about Wu Ming's whereabouts every day.
"Pengzai, when will Master Wu come to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"
"Huang Jiaqi's wife has cried so much that she has gone blind. Let's ask a master to calculate where he has been kidnapped."
Yu Peng didn't know when Wu Ming would come to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange again. He was anxiously waiting for Su Ye, and at the same time tried his best to find out his whereabouts.
This person was like a drop of seawater, blending into the crowd and disappearing. He was mysterious, like a person who appeared out of thin air. The mainland bosses in Hong Kong searched all the mainland Chinese people but could not find Wu Ming.
A few days later, Li Ming and Yang Xue's father finally transported the remaining tea from Shanggou Village to the port city, and Su Ye went to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
After entering the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Yu Peng and others quickly took her into the VIP room.
"My dear, I can even call you Big Brother. How did you figure out Mr. Huang's accident last time? His wife is looking for you everywhere now. She even said that if you can figure out her husband's whereabouts, she will give you a building."
Su Ye took out a letter from his pocket and said, "No need to send it to Lou, this one is for Madam Huang. I'm going to the United States and won't have time to see her. Please help me give the letter to her."
The bosses all wore thick necklaces, and their five fingers were covered with gems and jade. They all stretched out their hands and said, "Wait a minute - Master Wu, don't leave in a hurry."
"Master, please help me calculate where my opportunity is?" Yu Peng asked hurriedly.
Another boss said: "Which stock is the best stock? If the calculation is correct, I will give a layer of profit to Master Wu."
Fortunately, Teacher He did not come today, otherwise he would have been so shocked to see Su Ye being begged to stay by a group of bosses that his eyes would have popped out of his head.
Su Ye thought that after all the effort he put on to be cool, he had to finish it. Only by doing things from beginning to end could he be a good charlatan.
She asked them to name their names one by one while she searched her memory. Fortunately, she had read newspapers for a week and was able to get to know the faces of the prominent people in Hong Kong. She told a boss, "You will make a lot of money in the stock market, but you must not be greedy after ten years."
She said to another boss, "You have a peach blossom curse in your fate, so it's better for you to marry late or not marry at all."
"If you do more good deeds and stay healthy, you will become a respected entrepreneur in the future, but remember to be careful of those who get close to you."
She finally said, "Tomorrow there will be a chance, in Tsim Sha Tsui, at 3 pm, heading southeast. If you encounter a 'dragon' or a 'phoenix', you must find a way to keep it, and do everything you can to keep it all."
If one of these bosses buys the tea, Su Ye doesn't mind giving him a reminder before the Hong Kong stock market crashes next year. It only takes a telegram anyway.
Yu Peng kept it in mind, and the other local bosses also kept it in mind.
After Su Ye finished speaking, he put on his hat and left the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. He soon disappeared in the crowd.
The next day, three o'clock in the afternoon.
A group of bosses were wandering in the southeast direction of Sha Tsim Tsui. They had been waiting for the arrival of their destined dragon and phoenix since early morning.
Li Ming rode a tricycle leisurely through Tsim Sha Tsui, carrying a box of high-end tea. On the box of tea was a picture of "dragon and phoenix bringing good luck".
Li Ming was very shocked after arriving in Gangcheng. Su Ye and his friends had been in Gangcheng for more than a week. At least they should have sold a hundred kilograms, right
But Mr. He said they had sold a few boxes of tea, and Li Ming planned to take the tea to the market to sell.
Su Ye did not stop Li Ming, but instead instructed him, "Tomorrow you take the tea to the Sha Tsim Tsui market to sell. One pound of tea should be sold for 50 Hong Kong dollars. If you sell less, you will lose money. If you sell less than one dollar, I will skin you alive when I come back!"
She said, "Go ahead, we'll go back to the mainland tomorrow after we sell out."
Li Ming thought, no wonder Teacher Su can't sell tea! 50 Hong Kong dollars is only 22.1 yuan when converted into RMB? It's amazing that she dared to think of selling it at such a high price!
It will be a long time before all the tea leaves can be sold tomorrow. Li Ming has never seen Su Ye floating like this before. Why is it floating so strongly this time
Li Ming had just come up with this idea when he was unexpectedly stopped by a group of well-dressed bosses.
"Is this the 'dragon' and 'phoenix'?" They asked in surprise while sitting in the tricycle and looking at the "dragon and phoenix" boxes on it.
"That's right, that's it. We've been waiting for the whole afternoon and finally saw this car full of dragons and phoenixes. Could there be other dragons and phoenixes? Go up and stop it!" They shouted excitedly.
Later they got off the car. The man with a gold ring on his thumb asked with a squinting look, "Little brother, how much is this tea?"
"Isn't it true that the picture on this box is 'dragon and phoenix'?"
They had seen dragons and phoenixes many times during the whole afternoon, but this one was facing southeast and appeared at 5 p.m. The dragon and phoenix were so exquisite and lifelike that there was even a phrase on the box saying "Dragon and Phoenix Bring Good Luck".
"We want all your tea. Give me a price!" a fat-bellied boss said generously.
Li Ming was dumbfounded. He never expected that the tea could be sold so luckily
Li Ming swallowed hard, he suspected that this group of people were trying to swindle him, but these bosses were driving luxury cars blocking the road, which was a spectacular sight, and the gold necklaces around their necks were as thick as thumbs. He was poor and only had a broken tricycle, why would they swindle him
Then Li Ming took them to the warehouse, and 15,000 kilograms of tea were sold out that day at a price of 50 Hong Kong dollars per kilogram. The bank check that Li Ming received was signed by Yu Peng of The Paper Industry Co., Ltd.
