I'm back in 1990

Chapter 243: Too Much Hatred

The following evening, Jiang Bixing excitedly came to find Huang Xiaochuan again.

"Huang Xiaochuan, where did you find this company? It's amazing! They invested 30 million Hong Kong dollars and even promised me 05% stock options."

"Senior, calm down. Did they make you sign an agreement?"

"Of course I signed it! I'm not stupid. If such a good thing fell into my lap and I didn't take it, wouldn't I be an idiot? But the agreement isn't effective yet. It will only take effect after all the company registration procedures are completed, which will take some time."

Huang Xiaochuan was just about to go for a run on the soccer field when he invited, "Senior, want to exercise with me? How about a few laps?"

Jiang Bixing was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. At this moment, he was full of ambition, so why was he thinking about running?

"Go by yourself! I still have a lot of ideas that I need to put into writing as soon as possible. I just came to tell you that if things go well, I'll treat you to a meal another day to thank you properly."

"Then I won't keep you any longer. Go ahead and do your thing." He said goodbye to Jiang Bixing and ran off to the football field. No one knew better than him whether this matter would work out or not.

On June 12, the Shanghai Stock Exchange suddenly announced that the stock transaction stamp tax rate would be raised to 6%. The market did not react much on the day, but from that day on, the Shanghai Composite Index began to fall continuously from more than 3 points, turning from a bull market into a bear market.

However, this did not affect the second batch of newly listed stocks. These stocks continued to be sought after by the market after they were listed one after another. It felt like how stock investors in later generations were always keen to subscribe to new stocks. No matter whether the market was bullish or bearish, as long as the new stocks were listed, they would have a 10-20 day limit-up.

However, Huang Xiaochuan was still worried that Ding Yi might become pessimistic due to the performance of the stock market, so he specifically talked to him about it before going to Suzhou to attend the auction.

After talking to him, Huang Xiaochuan realized he had worried for nothing. This guy had a very strong heart and wasn't worried about the market downturn at all. In fact, he had other ideas.

"You're supposed to be an economics major? Don't you understand the development trends in finance? It's clearly stated in the books. The financial market has always been like this: there are ups and downs, and when it hits a trough, it rebounds. It's just like the laws of economics."

"Besides, I'm dealt a great hand right now, what am I worried about? The more it falls, the better; I'm even planning to buy at the bottom!"

Then he comforted Huang Xiaochuan: "Alright! Don't worry about it. I originally bought those subscription certificates for 300,000 yuan, and I've already made back my money. Besides, I'll sell the newly listed shares as soon as they're listed. Making several times my initial investment is no problem. The stock market is all about ups and downs, that's what makes it interesting."

Huang Xiaochuan had to admit that some people in this world just think differently from others, and he had met one himself. If he continued down Ding Yi's path, could he really become a future financial tycoon? But he had never heard of him in his previous life. Were all the big shots hiding in the water?

On June 19, Huang Xiaochuan and his group of six participated in the auction of seventeen storefronts on Guanqian Street.

According to the pre-arranged plan, Zhou Wei acted according to Huang Xiaochuan's expression. He would raise his sign as long as Huang Xiaochuan nodded, and he didn't care about anything else.

The auction was held in the small banquet hall on the second floor of the famous time-honored restaurant "Songhelou".

When Huang Xiaochuan arrived, quite a few people were already there. Huang Xiaochuan led Zhou Wei to their seats according to the seat numbers. Since the auction venue had limited space, Yang Junmin and the other three waited in the lobby downstairs.

Huang Xiaochuan's target this time is three adjacent storefronts on Guanqian Street, with a total area of ​​279 square meters. They can be used separately or combined. Based on the auction information, Huang Xiaochuan went to the site to take a look in the morning.

Most of the people attending the auction were locals from Suzhou, greeting each other in Suzhou dialect, and they seemed to know each other very well.

However, these people looked at Huang Xiaochuan and Zhou Wei with a look of rejection. They had roughly learned about the information of the bidders participating in the auction, but they didn't know anything about Huang Xiaochuan's background, because the name registered was his aunt Qian Jiazhen, but it was actually Huang Xiaochuan who came.

So they couldn't quite put their heads together, and they didn't know who this Qian Jiazhen was either.

However, they didn't think Huang Xiaochuan and his group posed any threat. They were just two young people, probably just here for the fun of it. Look, even the main character didn't show up.

Auctions during this period were completely different from those in later generations.

The meeting was lengthy and tedious, with each leader having to speak in turn. Huang Xiaochuan was so sleepy that his head was bobbing up and down like a pestle.

After finally getting through this process, we arrived at the second step, which was to introduce the information about the equations that were about to be auctioned. Actually, this step could be skipped, as detailed information was already provided when we registered for the auction, and it was all written clearly on the document.

After wasting two hours, we finally arrived at the auction stage.

"No. xxx, Guanqian Street, with an area of ​​117 square meters, starting price of 300,000 yuan, minimum increment of 5,000 yuan."

Before the auctioneer even announced the start, someone had already impatiently raised their paddle: "Three hundred and one thousand!"

Huang Xiaochuan immediately smiled. Auctions like this were rare at this time, so most people didn't really understand the intricacies of auctions. However, those who dared to register and participate in the auction knew one thing: the highest bidder wins!

They are all people who made their first fortune after the reform and opening up, so they must have some foresight. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here to participate in the auction. Therefore, no one should be underestimated in any era.

However, for Huang Xiaochuan, this was a rare opportunity to spend money freely, and he had to enjoy it to the fullest. It was just a matter of who had more money!

However, the first storefront was not Huang Xiaochuan's target, so he didn't give Zhou Wei any hints.

After the three storefronts were auctioned off, Huang Xiaochuan sensed something was wrong.

Are these people in cahoots? They raised the price two or three times and then no one else raised it. Basically, the price of a storefront won't exceed 400,000.

Huang Xiaochuan was instantly enraged. Fine! You guys want to play like this? I'll fucking torture you to death!

The fourth storefront was no exception, with the auctioneer even asking on stage, "Three hundred and thirty thousand, three hundred and thirty thousand, anyone want to bid a little higher?"

No one raised the price.

"The first time, the 330,000th time"

Before the auctioneer could finish speaking a second time, Zhou Wei, at Huang Xiaochuan's prompting, raised his paddle and shouted, "Four hundred thousand."

The people below the stage were stunned for a moment and looked at Huang Xiaochuan and Zhou Wei. Zhou Wei held the sign up straight with his back straight.

"Four hundred thousand, it's four hundred thousand now, is anyone else bidding higher?"

At this moment, someone glared at Zhou Wei with dissatisfaction, then held up a sign: "Forty-one thousand!"

"It's 410,000 now, is there anyone willing to raise the price?"

Huang Xiaochuan then quietly gave Zhou Wei a hand gesture, and Zhou Wei immediately raised his sign and shouted, "Five hundred thousand!"

If looks could kill, Huang Xiaochuan and Zhou Wei would probably be dead countless times already; they're just too hateful.

Perhaps the other party was really angry, because they then shouted out 550,000.

This time, Huang Xiaochuan and Zhou Wei didn't raise their paddles again. In the end, the fourth storefront was auctioned off for 550,000 yuan, 220,000 yuan higher than the original price of 330,000 yuan that the others had planned to pay. They were furious! But in front of everyone, there was nothing they could do.

At this moment, someone sitting next to Huang Xiaochuan quietly said to Huang Xiaochuan and Zhou Wei, "Young people shouldn't be so clueless."

Huang Xiaochuan gave him a cold look, too lazy to say a word to him. Let's see how things go from here.
