Return to 90 and start a career

On December 30th, Wan Rongming finally called Li Manjun.

The buyer of the antique tea set was found and asked Li Manjun to bring it over.

Although the sale was urgent, Wan Rongming did not just find a buyer. Instead, he contacted many colleagues in the industry and finally found one who wanted to collect the complete set.

The bid was also high, NT$208,000. The porcelain was really valuable.

Li Manjun was already very satisfied, but Wan Rongming still sighed, "You don't know the value of porcelain. If you wait any longer, you can sell it for 280,000 yuan."

Unfortunately, he was in a hurry for money and could only "sell it cheaply". He felt sorry for Li Manjun just thinking about it.

"You said you put it here with me. Wouldn't it be better for me to lend you 100,000 yuan for an emergency first?" Wan Rongming said angrily.

Li Manjun pressed the calculator to calculate the accounts. The 15% intermediary fee was more than 31,000.

When the buyer pays by check, Li Manjun first goes to the bank to cash it, and then takes out the intermediary fee and gives it to Wan Rongming.

"Alas~" Wan Rongming took the money and could only sigh helplessly, watched Li Manjun get into the car safely, and then left.

After deducting the intermediary fees, there was still 177,000 yuan left. Li Manjun debited a sum from the company's account and added it up to a total of 180,000 yuan.

Including the original 330,000 yuan, she now has 510,000 yuan, which is a total of 170 sets of subscription certificates.

Zhu Yaowei has bought the train ticket to Haishi in advance and will depart on January 10th.

He also contacted his classmates in Haishi to help him find a rental house near the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It was an old one-room house for 500 yuan a month. It was rented for six months and three months' rent had to be paid first.

So, when Li Manjun and Li Manjun met again, he took away 60,000 yuan.

Among them, 50,000 yuan is borrowed, and the other 10,000 yuan is for half a year's activities.

Ask your old classmates to help buy subscription certificates. Can you not give them some benefits?

Coincidentally, this old classmate is from a bank, and their bank is one of the sales points for subscription certificates.

The old classmate was very happy to know that Zhu Yaowei was going to buy a subscription certificate.

At present, the people of Haishi are skeptical about the subscription certificates, and everyone is not optimistic about them. The bank's own internal employees are predicting that the subscription certificates to be released this year may not be easy to sell.

Because their bank has a sales target, the old classmate was very happy when he learned that Zhu Yaowei wanted to purchase the subscription certificate.

He also said that he would buy it for Zhu Yaowei for free without any reward, as a way of thanking Zhu Yaowei for supporting his work.

Zhu Yaowei told Li Manjun about this and asked her if she wanted to think about it again.

Insiders said the situation was bad and she should be more cautious.

It's not that Zhu Yaowei is timid, but he doesn't care about it. He is just helping Li Manjun with things, and as a friend, he reminds her of potential risks.

Of course Li Manjun wanted to continue and directly handed the bankbook to Zhu Yaowei for a total of 500,000.

Zhu Yaowei took a deep breath, carefully put away his bankbook, and under Li Manjun's watch, walked into the train station and boarded the train to Haishi.

Seeing the number of people on the platform getting smaller and smaller, Zhu Yaowei touched the BB camera in his arms and his eyes became firm.

After riding the train for a day and a night, Zhu Yaowei arrived in Haishi smoothly.

An old classmate came to pick him up in person, and the two of them went to have a meal together and learned about their respective current situations.

Zhu Yaowei did not mention that he was fired. He only said that he had left the steel factory and was hanging out outside.

The old classmate was too sensible to ask further questions. The two talked about interesting things from college and had a pleasant meal.

After the meal, his old classmates took him on the bus to the rental house. Zhu Yaowei only brought two sets of thick clothes and nothing else.

Li Manjun said that it was inconvenient to carry too many things on the road, so he had to buy them somewhere else.

All the money belonged to Li Manjun. Zhu Yaowei didn't say anything, but when buying rental items, he tried his best to choose the most cost-effective ones.

After settling him, the old classmate went back.

The night is already dark, but the night in Haishi is brighter than that in Rongcheng.

Compared with the Haishi when I was in college a few years ago, the Haishi now has changed a lot.

There are many newly developed areas, and even the formerly dilapidated Pudong seems to have become more lively.

Zhu Yaowei bought an old radio and a book on the stock market, all in English, which wrote about the prosperity and troughs of Wall Street abroad.

This book deepened his understanding of the stock market and realized how immature the current domestic stock market is.

And it was this immaturity that made him eager to try.

Before the subscription warrants were sold, Zhu Yaowei and Li Manjun maintained a call frequency of once every two days, chatting about his views on the stock market, reporting on the current situation of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the progress of the subscription warrant sales.

"After the subscription certificates are sold, all the money we have will be used to buy the subscription certificates!"

"Are you sure it's all?" Zhu Yaowei confirmed again.

Li Manjun replied affirmatively: "All of them!"

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yaowei put on his thick coat, went downstairs to a nearby store and ordered two fried buns. After filling his stomach, he contacted his old classmate at the bank to withdraw money.

All the 500,000 yuan in cash was withdrawn, and the old classmates were shocked.

He originally thought that Zhu Yaowei just wanted to buy 10 or 20 copies to play with, but he didn't expect that he would actually buy 167 copies!

"Are you sure you don't want to think about it anymore?" For such a large amount, it's a good thing that he is a bank employee, otherwise the higher-ups would definitely investigate.

Although there is no explicit regulation saying that it is not allowed to borrow an ID card to purchase a subscription certificate, I think it does not comply with the regulations.

Zhu Yaowei took his old classmate to a deserted corner, quickly stuffed a red envelope into his chest pocket, patted it gently and said, "Sorry for the trouble."

He didn't persuade his old classmates to buy one if they had spare money. Even he himself didn't know the future direction of this kind of thing. He just relied on Li Manjun's words and it was better not to involve others.

If we lose money, all our old classmates will run away.

The old classmate took a deep breath, put his hand into the inner pocket and touched it. It was thick and solid.

Seeing Zhu Yaowei's persistence, the old classmate could only nod and agree, and promised in advance not to blame himself for the loss.

When Zhu Yaowei left, his old classmate hurriedly opened the red envelope and looked at it. It was a full two thousand yuan!

He gasped in shock, already understanding in his heart that this included hush money.

On the day when the subscription certificates were released, the bank gate was deserted as expected.

The superiors were afraid that they would not be sold, so they encouraged employees to mobilize family and friends to buy some to avoid looking too ugly.

The old classmate thought of Zhu Yaowei's situation of spending 500,000 yuan in one go. When purchasing, he bought a total of 168 units.

One of the sets was his own. Zhu Yaowei gave him 2,000 yuan in red envelopes, and he took out another 1,000 yuan from his private room and barely made up a set.

From the sale of subscription certificates on January 19th to January 28th, only 30% of the subscription certificates were sold as originally planned.

When the last day of the deadline arrived, bank employees thought it was still so deserted.

But smart people have smelled unusual information. The Shanghai Stock Exchange originally planned to issue five million subscription certificates. Calculating this way, the winning rate is only about 1% or 2%.

But now only 30% of them are sold. Anyone who is interested will know that the winning rate has been greatly improved and can reach about 30%.

As a result, on January 29, the last subscription date, the subscription certificate sales points were full, and people started queuing up from early morning, rushing to buy subscription certificates.

It was so popular that it was beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhu Yaowei looked at the iron box in front of him, which contained 167 sets of subscription certificates.

The house he rented had a good view. At a glance, he could see a long queue diagonally opposite the subscription certificate sales point. The long queue stretched for four or five miles.

A little bit of madness filled the air, and things began to develop in directions that no one expected.
