That night, Su Yingmin was lying on a bamboo chair reading an old book, while his wife Ho Wai-king was ironing clothes beside him.
This is a five-bedroom duplex house. It cost a lot of money to buy and renovate it.
Ho Wai-king complained, "30,000 or 40,000 is gone just like that. It will take years to get 30,000 or 40,000 yuan if you keep your salary! In fact, you don't need to give Director Lan that much money."
"Eight people, if you don't give them enough money, you're going to let them cause trouble? Just think of it as spending money to ward off disaster. I've already given you enough money, so don't say anything." Su Yingmin was a little impatient.
"You're trying to avoid disaster by spending money. I think this is a case of losing more than you gain. You're losing both the wife and the army!"
Su Yingmin didn't want to argue with her, so he just shut up and didn't answer.
Ho Wai-king hung up the ironed shirt and took out her trousers to continue ironing. She glanced at Su Yingmin and said, "You helped such an ungrateful person. You might as well have helped Bai Yunlian!"
Su Yingmin snorted coldly, "Help Bai Yunlian? She won't cause trouble to me when she takes office? She won't settle old scores? The first thing she will do when she takes office will be to kick me out. At least we are still on the chessboard and we still have a chance. No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than when Old Ye was in charge, right? Ye Zhao is generous, giving high salaries and bonuses, and distributing dividends regularly. He is not as stingy as Ye Dingguo."
"Just be a good boss and take your salary. Don't make trouble."
Su Yingmin: "I didn't cause any trouble."
"You said that little girl Ye Zhao, how come she is so smart? She is so young and has little social experience, but she has tricked an old man like you. You can only watch her trick you without any ability to fight back. Who is she like? Old Ye is smart, but not that smart. Not to mention Guo Xuyan, he has empty talent..."
"Yes, he is just talented. How can he be talented if he is not smart? You make it sound like you are so smart."
"Ouch! I poked your lungs again."
Su Yingmin said dissatisfiedly: "You were the most cunning among the three of you female educated youth."
"Yes, I am cunning? What about you? Are you a living Buddha? Guo Xuyan didn't like you, didn't sleep with you, and followed Ye Dingguo instead. You must be very angry, right? Don't you even take a piss and look in the mirror? Who else would like you except me?"
baffling!
Su Yingmin closed the book, stood up, slammed the door and walked out.
Zeng Xiang has finished his exams and is on summer vacation. He will go to the University of Hong Kong to study in the second half of the year.
Ye Zhao and Xiang Zai were eating rice noodles in eight-cut soup at the door of the breakfast shop downstairs. The soup was sprinkled with pepper and freshly squeezed peanut oil, and tasted fresh and rich. The two of them ate a pot each and added two beef balls each. They were very satisfied.
After breakfast, Ye Zhao went to the company. As soon as she arrived, she received a call from Manager Han of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative. Manager Han informed her that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange would start operations next Monday and Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative would be the only stock to be listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
That was really a collision. Shenzhen Nonghe Cooperative was listed on Monday and Song Rongji was listed on Thursday. The difference is that Shenzhen Nonghe Cooperative was a definite winner, but the whole tone of Song Rongji changed because of her participation. It is currently impossible to predict the rise and fall.
Ye Zhao asked, "Won't the Shenzhen Stock Exchange be listed at the end of the year?"
"The leaders decided at a meeting last night to compete with the Shanghai Stock Exchange to see who can win the title of the country's first exchange. Now the higher-ups haven't approved it yet, so we can only conduct a trial operation. The stock code of our Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperation has been decided, 000001. It is the only listed stock. It has great potential in the future... It may... It may double!"
Ye Zhao heard that Manager Han was hesitant to speak, and knew that he must have other purposes for calling, so he asked: "Manager Han, if you have something to say, just say it."
Manager Han smiled sheepishly: "After the last stock split, didn't you have 8 million shares of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperation?"
"yes."
"Oh, your eight million shares are all unregistered individual shares. They are totally out of control. Your boss is afraid that you will dump the stock if you make a little profit when the market opens."
It was impossible for Ye Zhao to sell the stocks as soon as the market opened. She smiled and said, "The leader regrets it, right?"
In fact, Ye Zhao had to thank the city leaders, otherwise, as a registered major shareholder, her shares would have to be restricted when listed.
Manager Han also laughed and said, "How dare I guess what the leader is thinking. Mr. Ye, the leader just wants me to communicate with you, can you please not crash the market. The stock price can rise on the first day of listing, which will have a huge impact on Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and China's economy. This will affect the confidence of the general public in the development of our economy. The leader has given us a death order, it can only rise, not fall."
Ye Zhao said: "I hold 8 million shares in my hand, of course I hope it will rise. But you don't let me trade... What if... What if all 8 million shares are dumped in my hands, what should I do?"
Ye Zhao's tone was full of embarrassment. Since he came to ask her for help, he couldn't do it without conditions.
Manager Han said: "It won't hurt us. We have prepared a funding tray."
"How much capital can you prepare to support the stock?" Ye Zhao knew that the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was also very poor, and it would be good if they could spare a few hundred thousand to support the stock. She had 8 million shares, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission could not use the bank's money to support the stock. The bank's money did not belong to the bank, but to the depositors. She pretended not to understand: "The city should at least prepare tens of millions to support the stock, right?"
"this… "
"You have tens of millions to back you up, so why are you afraid that I will ruin the deal?"
Manager Han cried poor on behalf of his boss: "The Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has too many places to spend money."
Ye Zhaowei said in embarrassment: "That can't sacrifice my interests, right?"
"How about this? If you need money in the future, Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative can lend it to you at the lowest interest rate it can handle."
It’s not a big deal. It’s not difficult for a high-quality client like Ye Zhao to borrow money from the bank. It just depends on whether she wants to borrow.
Since we are negotiating terms with the city party committee leaders, we have to negotiate something that is of absolute benefit to us.
Ye Zhao said: "I don't need to borrow money."
Manager Han: "This is too difficult. Do you really plan to ship a large amount of goods on the first day of opening?"
Ye Zhao: "Manager Han, I do want to ship, but the leader has already spoken, so I can't refuse. I have to give face to the leader anyway, right? Can we, Longkou Bay Industrial Park is so big, can you give us a small piece of land in Song Rongji? Song Rongji is a big brand of Hong Kong enterprise, and it fully meets the conditions for settlement, but we don't want to rent the factory, we want to buy it."
"Longkouwan Industrial Park allocated a piece of land to Song Rongji?"
"right."
The Longkou Bay Industrial Park was established in the early days of reform and opening up, and has a history of nearly ten years. In the near future, the large area of the industrial park plus the future reclaimed land will become a duty-free port connecting Shenzhen and Hong Kong, with huge commercial value.
Song Rongji had previously negotiated with the municipal government about moving in, but the policy changed this year and they could only rent a factory but not buy land. There was not much point in renting a factory, so Ye Zhao gave up.
But there was an opportunity right in front of him. Ye Zhao said, "It is said that the government still has a list of the last batch of companies that can get the land. Currently, Song Rongji is not on the list of companies. The leaders only need to say hello to the Nantian District Committee and add our name. For the leaders, it's just a matter of a word."
Manager Han said hurriedly, "Is that the only condition? Okay, I'll go negotiate right away."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhao sat in his office chair and pondered. If this could come to fruition, it would really be a windfall, and it would have a chain catalytic effect on Song Rongji's listing.
In the morning, they held a meeting in the conference room. Today's meeting was mainly about Zhaohua's half-year work summary. The company achieved a profit of more than 4 million in the first half of the year, and Ye Zhao rewarded the employees according to their merits as usual.
Ye Zhao said: "Some time ago, I spent 40,000 yuan to buy 40,000 shares of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperation from a securities company. Today, I will give these 40,000 shares to you as a reward. Whether you can make a fortune depends on you."
Reward stocks? Ah Qin screamed in surprise, "Give us stocks?! Give us stocks?! Oh my God! Xiao Zhao, I love you! You are my most beloved sweetheart!"
Such a strong love! Everyone laughed out loud.
Sister Hui almost spit out laughter after taking a sip of tea.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "If I don't give you stocks, you won't love me anymore?"
“Love love love!”
Liu Yang said disdainfully: "Sister Qin, be more reserved! You love the boss, but the boss doesn't love you!"
Aqin: "What do you care about me? Hey, should I take two? Muxin and I are working two jobs now. We need to do Zhaohua's work and Irene's work. We should take two."
Mu Xin held back his laughter and nodded vigorously.
Liu Yang: "This is Zhaohua's reward, not Irene's."
Ah Qin whispered to him: "You will die if you don't speak."
Sister Song: "This reward is good. How much money you can make in the end really depends on your ability."
Sister Hui laughed and said, "We have never traded stocks before, so we don't know how to operate."
Ye Zhao: "Sister Feng can."
Gan Xiaofeng: "I was in charge of this matter before. I have learned it before. I will teach you how to fill out the form when the time comes."
The meeting was held in a lively atmosphere. Everyone received 40,000 shares, with the smallest amount being 2,000 shares. Sister Song received the most, with 5,000 shares.
At noon, everyone was having lunch together. Xiaofeng asked Ye Zhao what her plans were as the two-year contract for the canteen was about to end.
Ye Zhao doesn't have time to take care of the canteen now. It is basically managed by Aunt Qin and Dai Xiangrong. Now that the factory is hers, there is not much point in contracting it to herself.
She glanced at Xiaofeng and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
The prices have soared this year, and the canteen's profits have dropped a lot. But even if Ye Zhao no longer cares about this little profit, it is still a piece of fat meat for ordinary people.
Gan Xiaofeng smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "After the expiration, if we still want to contract it out to someone else, can we give the branch factory cafeteria to Dai Xiangrong?"
Ye Zhao looked at Gan Xiaofeng's expectant eyes. She knew that Gan Xiaofeng and Dai Xiangrong were dating. She thought it would be better to give it to her own people than to others, so she said, "That's fine. Give this to Aunt Qin, and the branch factory to Dai Xiangrong. We'll talk about it later."
Gan Xiaofeng responded happily.
At noon, Manager Han called back and said, "The municipal party committee said that the problem is not serious. Someone will contact you directly when the time comes."
Ye Zhao smiled happily. He didn't expect that through this method, he could get a piece of land for Song Rongji that he had never dared to dream of before. This was another big benefit for Song Rongji, which was about to go public.
Ye Zhao thanked him, and Manager Han said, "But you have to promise to lock up the shares of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperation for a year and not sell them."
Locked in for a year? Ye Zhao knew that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange would officially open for business in half a year, and the share price of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative would soar, but then slowly fall back, and then there would be a long period of ups and downs. Generally speaking, the best time to sell Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative would be between half a year and a year.
If she locks it in for a year, she will miss the best time to sell.
"One year is not enough. I can only promise half a year at most."
Manager Han advised: "We don't need that half a year. The city leaders have already made the decision. We can't communicate with them repeatedly."
If you have to choose between Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative Stock and Song Rongji Land, in the long run, you will undoubtedly choose the land.
However, judging from the other party's attitude, Ye Zhao believed that he should still be able to fight for it.
Manager Han talked a few more times, but seeing that he could not persuade her, he had to agree to communicate again.
It was not until the evening that Manager Han called and said that the leader had finally agreed. "But Mr. Ye, I still want to discuss with you. After six months, if you want to sell the stocks, you can't sell them all at once. The time point after six months is also critical."
In fact, by next year, when the number of stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange gradually increases, the leaders will not care at all.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will never crash the market at any time. Manager Han, I will treat you to a meal another day."
Manager Han said, "No, no, no, I'll treat you another day."
On Monday morning, Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative officially opened for trading. At that time, Shenzhen City Radio broadcast the latest share price of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative (000001) every half hour.
In the courtyard of the Xiaoxi Building, everyone was playing mahjong while listening to the radio. The host was announcing the latest transaction price, 1 yuan and 5 cents.
Colleagues in Zhaohua's office also turned on the radio and listened to it while working.
The transaction price slowly increased from 1 yuan and 5 cents at the opening to 1 yuan and 10 cents, increasing by 5 cents almost every half hour.
By the time the market closed at noon, the price had risen to 1.2 yuan.
People who have stocks enjoy their meals more.
As a result, when the market opened in the afternoon, the stock price went straight to 1.7 yuan! It rose by nearly 70% in one day, which was even crazier than a casino!
When the price reached 1.8 yuan, Fatty Ying couldn't help it. She wanted to sell her 2,000 shares and make 1,600 yuan in one go!
Aunt Yu, who played mahjong at the same table with Ye Zhao, had made a lot of money from selling land before, and she trusted Ye Zhao very much. She heard from Fatty Ying that Ye Zhao was optimistic about Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative, so she used all her own private money of 8,000 yuan to buy the original shares of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative.
Aunt Yu asked Aunt Qiao: "What does your Xiao Zhao say? Can it be sold now?"
Aunt Qiao shook her head: "She asked me to wait for half a year."
Fatty Ying hesitated again: "Wait half a year? Wait?" she asked Aunt Yu.
Aunt Yu: "Wait."
"Then I'll wait a little longer."
After another round of cards, the stock price suddenly dropped from 1.8 yuan to 1.5 yuan.
Fatty Ying stopped playing mahjong and hurried to make a phone call, but the line was busy. After finally getting through, the stock price had fallen to 1.4 yuan. She quickly sold her 2,000 shares.
"I shouldn't have listened to you. I hesitated and lost 800 yuan. Aunt Yu, why don't you sell yours?"
Aunt Yu frowned and had no idea. She asked Aunt Qiao again, "Sell it?"
"You decide. I'm not for sale."
Aunt Yu gritted her teeth and said, "I tell you, I trust Ye Zhao's judgment. If I don't sell it, I'll wait for half a year."
Fatty Ying grinned and said, "The money you earn is yours. Do you want to eat watermelon? I'll treat you to watermelon."
The situation was the same in Zhaohua's office. Only Liu Yang sold his shares when the price rose to 1.7 yuan, almost at the highest point.
The other women hesitated and missed the opportunity, and they regretted it deeply.
By the time the market closed, the price had fallen to 1.1 yuan, a 10% increase in the day, like a roller coaster. But this increase was already a result that the leaders were quite satisfied with.
After experiencing the thrill of the first day, I thought the stock price would be relatively stable on the second day. However, it soared all the way, up 90%, and closed at 2.09 yuan.
Liu Yang and Fatty Ying were listening to the radio and crying out in regret.
Xiaoqin, Muxin, Gan Xiaofeng and others couldn't help but sell their stocks at around 2 yuan and made a huge profit.
In the end, the only ones still holding on were a few old aunts, Aunt Qiao, Aunt Yu, Sister Song and Sister Hui.
Several old ladies formed an alliance and firmly supported the implementation of "Ye Zhao's Thought" and decided to wait half a year before selling.
In Luo's Garden in Hong Kong City, it is getting dark and the house is brightly lit.
In the back hall on the first floor, Zhong Lini was holding a newspaper with a big headline on it: "Song Rongji is about to go public, three major good news are revealed."
Zhong Limin came down from upstairs and saw his sister Zhong Lini. He just said, "I'm leaving."
Zhong Lini was standing here waiting for her brother, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhong Limin: "I have something else to do. Tomorrow is the first day of Song Rongji's listing and there are many things to do. I have to be busy until at least 12 o'clock tonight."
"Hey! Who's going to ring the bell when the stock goes public tomorrow?"
"You're asking even though you already know the answer. Haven't you heard about it a long time ago?"
Zhong Lini said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you ask her to ring the bell? She is just a country woman from the mainland who knows nothing."
"Why? Because she gave birth to a great son! The major shareholder invited me, how can I object?"
Zhong Lini: "You are the chairman of the board? Don't you have any say at all?"
Zhong Limin glanced at his sister with disdain: "Why should I offend them for such a small matter? What good will it do me? You are old, but you still think so childishly!"
"Yes, yes, I am naive. In your eyes, I am a pig. I am just too stupid. I listened to you and Luo Jiafei's instigation. Luo Jiafei had his leg broken by the old woman. I have been so useless in my life. Only you escaped unscathed. You are the best!"
Zhong Limin hurriedly hushed him and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of place is this? Why are you talking nonsense here? What happened back then is in the past, don't mention it again. I am now in a cooperative relationship with Luo Shen, and we cooperate very well. He also respects me as his uncle..."
Zhong Lini shook her head and sneered: "Uncle? Bullshit! He threatened me last time!"
"That's because you don't know how to behave. After Song Rongji goes public and raises money, it will be our biggest chance to turn things around. Don't mess up my plan."
"You can use the money Song Rongji raised whenever you want? You don't even have a say in who will ring the bell, but you can embezzle a large amount of funds. You say I'm naive, but sometimes you're even more naive than me."
"I won't tell you, you ignorant woman! Listen, I warn you, don't offend Luo Shen at this critical point. If you ruin my plan, you won't be able to come back to the Zhong family in the future."
Zhong Lini was so angry that her teeth itched: "My last name is Zhong, what do you care? I can go back if I want."
Zhong Liming rolled his eyes at her and walked out the back door.
Just because she was not favored, her son was not favored either, and even her family bullied her! Zhong Lini crumpled up the newspaper in her hand and threw it into the trash can!
Just as she threw the newspaper into the trash can, a figure flashed at the stairs. She looked up and saw that it was Luo Shen. She looked away with a slightly unnatural expression.
"My uncle is a nice person, unlike you, who is really like a pig." Zeng Xiang said sarcastically.
"You!" Zhong Lini was so angry that she couldn't speak. It was fine that her brother called her a pig, but what right did this country boy have to call her a pig
"Take good care of your son and stop embarrassing yourself."
Zhong Lini thought of her brother's warning and Luo Shen's threat last time, and swallowed the words she was about to say.
Zeng Xiang went out on his own. Ye Zhao and his mother came to Gangcheng today, and he wanted to meet them at the mall.
Ye Zhao took Aunt Qiao to the mall to buy clothes. It is said that clothes make the man, and it is true. When going out, Ye Zhao put some makeup on Aunt Qiao. When she put on the dignified clothes, she looked noble.
Aunt Qiao said, "Buy some red clothes. Wear them to ring the bell tomorrow. It will be festive."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Red is a bad omen. The electronic display of a falling stock market is red. Let's change it to another color."
Aunt Qiao didn't understand this. It was the first time she heard that the stock market had colors. "What color should I wear? Is the cow dung color one okay?"
"The brown one? Okay."
They bought clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories, and came out of the mall with bags full of stuff. Zeng Xiang had already driven to pick them up.
Because Aunt Qiao didn't like the Luo family, Zeng Xiang always drove himself and didn't let the driver or Li Tong follow.
After getting in the car, Ye Zhao's mobile phone rang. He picked up the call and it was Mrs. Xu.
Xu Tai said: "I've been busy recently. I just saw the news that Song Rongji will be listed and opened tomorrow. I missed the investment opportunity."
How could it be possible that Mrs. Xu, who watches the news every day, had no idea that Song Rong Ji would be listed soon? If Mrs. Xu really wanted to subscribe to Song Rong Ji's shares, she would have come to her long ago.
Song Rongji's qualifications were average before, so Mrs. Xu probably didn't think highly of him. She probably missed the opportunity after reading the three good news about Song Rongji today.
Ye Zhao joked, "I'll look for you when we increase our capital and expand our shares."
"Then it's a deal. Really, you didn't come to me this time, and let that bastard Xu Guangrong take advantage of you for nothing."
When Song Rongji really needs to increase capital and expand its shares, the investment value will no longer be that great.
The reason why Mrs. Xu made this call was that she wanted to get in touch with this rising star in the business world who could revitalize Song Rongji in advance. There might be other opportunities for cooperation in the future.
After chatting with Mrs. Xu for a few words and hanging up the phone, Zeng Xiang said to Ye Zhao while driving: "Li Tong just told me that Uncle Qi has been acting strange lately."
"What's wrong?"
"I often call to avoid Li Tong."
Qi Lian An was described in the original book as a strange man. Ye Zhao said, "Judging from his eyes, I think Qi Lian An is a gloomy person, but he has his own principles."
Zeng Xiang nodded: "Yes. I believe him too. I know Uncle Qi has something on his mind. I have to find time to talk to him."
The two were chatting when they heard snoring from the back row. Ye Zhao turned around and found that Aunt Qiao had fallen asleep and was snoring.
Zeng Xiang and Ye Zhao smiled at each other. While waiting for the traffic light, he reached out and held her hand. It was rare for the family of three to go out together. Their life was simple and happy.
The next morning before the market opened, Aunt Qiao went to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to ring the bell on behalf of Song Rongji. Ye Zhao and Zeng Xiang did not show up and did not accept media interviews.
Song Rongji's stock price soared into the sky like a green arrow, doubling on the same day, setting a new record for the increase since the opening of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Overnight, Ye Zhao and Zeng Xiang’s assets exceeded 800 million.
