Chapter 239: Finding a Buyer
On June 3, the second lottery for car registration, which had been eagerly anticipated by the people of Shanghai, began.
When the host announced the lottery rules, the screen and the audience were stunned and shocked. They considered many possibilities, including underground gambling dens betting on the odds of winning. But no one expected that it would be an odd-even lottery. However, the lottery rules for two stocks remained the same as the first time, with only a 10% chance of winning.
There were more than a dozen stocks, some with odd-numbered winning bids and some with even-numbered winning bids. This meant that every subscription certificate could buy a winning stock. Wow, the price of the subscription certificate immediately rose to 4800 yuan.
However, if you win the subscription certificates for "Zhongbai" and "Hualian" stocks, the price will immediately rise to 10,000 yuan per certificate. Even though the price is already so high, you still can't buy them because there are rumors that these two stocks will double or even triple as soon as they are listed.
Chang Zhihong was filled with regret upon learning the lottery results and the latest market price of the subscription certificates. He should have agreed to Huang Xiaochuan's first option. 6000 yuan a certificate was indeed very expensive at the time, but who could have imagined that the lottery rules would be so outrageous this time?
Moreover, the winning rate for "Zhongbai" and "Hualian" is only 10%, which makes them scarce and valuable. The black market price of subscription certificates for these two stocks has soared to 10000 yuan each. According to the latest news I just heard, it is now 11000 yuan.
Chang Zhihong acted decisively and immediately contacted Huang Xiaochuan, eagerly hoping to meet with him again to discuss the price of the subscription certificates. This time, he was determined to acquire the subscription certificates in Huang Xiaochuan's hands no matter what.
Unfortunately, he was in a hurry, while Huang Xiaochuan was not.
Huang Xiaochuan had originally planned to leave some meat for Chang Zhihong and the others, but they didn't appreciate it. Since that was the case, he could only leave them some soup.
Therefore, Huang Xiaochuan always declined Chang Zhihong's repeated invitations, saying he didn't have time.
Friday, October 5th.
The stock market was volatile last week, with sharp ups and downs.
However, after the results of the second round of subscription certificate lottery were released, a large amount of funds were concentrated on subscription certificates. This is the law of the market: wherever there is profit, funds will flow there. This is true for stamps, stocks, and subscription certificates.
These days, subscription certificates costing five or six thousand yuan are considered a sure way to make money by Shanghai residents. If you manage to win a subscription certificate for "Zhongbai" or "Hualian" stocks, the price is more than double that of a regular subscription certificate.
Of Ding Yi's 10,000 subscription certificates, 963 won "Zhongbai" and "Hualian", and the remaining 9037 subscription certificates, regardless of whether they were odd or even numbers, won the initial public offering (IPO) shares of many listed companies.
It would be strange not to win. For example, odd-numbered subscriptions can buy certain stocks, while even-numbered subscriptions can buy others. If you win subscription certificates for "Zhongbai" and "Hualian", you can also buy the corresponding stocks based on whether your number is odd or even. That's why subscription certificates for "Zhongbai" and "Hualian" have risen to prices of over ten thousand yuan.
Wu Duo won the lottery for "Zhongbai" and "Hualian" with 41 subscription certificates.
Zhang Gaolei has 43 photos, and Chen Zhe has 39 photos.
This time, Ding Yi was much more low-key than before. He didn't excitedly flaunt his wealth everywhere, but instead quietly calculated how much money he would need to buy these stocks. Huang Xiaochuan had already agreed to lend him his stock account and the funds Ding Yi needed for a while.
After confirming that Wu Duo and Zhang Gaolei were going to sell their subscription certificates.
Huang Xiaochuan also gave Wu Duo and Zhang Gaolei an idea.
"Squad leader, Lao Zhang, aren't you two planning to go abroad?"
You can directly request that they settle the payment in US dollars, saving you the trouble of exchanging currency yourself later.
Wu Duo and Zhang Gaolei's eyes lit up. "Yes! We can ask the buyer to settle in US dollars."
Subscription certificates are incredibly popular right now, and they could sell them in no time.
However, Zhang Gaolei hesitated, saying, "But we don't know who has US dollars. We can't just go and ask them one by one, can we?"
Indeed, most people don't have dollars on hand, but there's someone in this house who can definitely help find a suitable buyer.
Huang Xiaochuan kicked Ding Yi, who was busy doing accounts, and said, "Old Ding, this is your job."
Ding Yi was suddenly interrupted and looked up blankly, asking, "What task are you leaving to me?"
"The class monitor and Lao Zhang are planning to sell their subscription certificates. Can you help me find out who wants them? But there's a condition: they only accept US dollars, and the price must be calculated based on the exchange rate of that day."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi exclaimed, "Oh, is that all?"
He immediately patted his chest and agreed, "Oh my, I thought it was a big deal, but I'll take care of it."
Huang Xiaochuan suddenly thought of something. He looked at Chen Zhe and asked, "Old Chen, do you want some US dollars?"
Chen Zhe replied, "I'm not planning to go abroad, so I won't need US dollars, right?"
Ding Yi then asked him, "Chen Zhe, do you want to sell? If you do, I'll help you ask around."
Chen Zhe had already considered this and replied decisively with a single word: "Sell!"
"Okay! When I get back tonight, I'll ask around for you and get back to you tomorrow."
That evening, Zhang Gaolei was still worried that he wouldn't be able to find a suitable buyer for a while. Unexpectedly, the next morning, before Ding even arrived, he called Huang Xiaochuan first.
They said they would be arriving with the buyers shortly, and told Wu Duo and the others to wait at the school's tea house with their purchase certificates.
Huang Xiaochuan relayed these words to the three of them.
Zhang Gaolei clicked his tongue in amazement: "So fast?"
Although Zhang Gaolei had some understanding of the value of subscription certificates, he still underestimated their status in the current financial market. Many people couldn't buy them even with their money, so if 1200 subscription certificates suddenly appeared, wouldn't they be snapped up in no time?
The facts taught Zhang Gaolei that the title "Get Rich Certificate" was well-deserved.
The person Ding Yi brought was named Zhang Bao, who was introduced by Ding Yi's uncle. After Ding Yi went back last night, he told his uncle about this matter, and his uncle recommended Zhang Bao to Ding Yi. When Zhang Bao learned that there were 1200 subscription certificates after the second lottery that he wanted to sell, and none of them had ever purchased any winning stocks, and that there were 123 subscription certificates for "Zhongbai" and "Hualian" that had won the lottery, he was worried that the night market might have some problems.
Ding Yi absolutely refused. His father happened to be coming home that night. Would he go out in the middle of the night and get into trouble? He'd better behave himself!
So Zhang Bao and two companions drove to the vicinity of Ding's family and waited there. They stayed in the car all night with a bag of US dollars, just in case they lost what they had almost gotten.
However, after Ding Yi took Zhang Bao to the University of Finance and Economics to meet Wu Duo and the others, Zhang Bao felt like he had wasted half his life. Look at how old these young people are! They're about the same age as his good-for-nothing son, right? Look at what they're doing, and what is his good-for-nothing son doing?
He's out there living a life of debauchery and dissipation. Don't even think about him coming back to work for me. He only comes to me when he's short of money. If it weren't for the fact that he's the only son in three generations, I would have broken his legs with a stick long ago.
