I'm back in 1990

Chapter 203: Subscription Certificate

1992 1 Month 20 Day.

Tomorrow is the start of the holiday. After finishing our last exam this morning, a few of us from class 222 made plans to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China near the school to buy subscription certificates.

Wu Duo and the others were all taking the train this evening, so they planned to go directly to the train station after buying the subscription certificates.

Apart from Huang Xiaochuan, the other four people went to Haitong Securities on the 17th and sold a small portion of their shares. Ding Yi sold all of his Dafeile shares.

Wu Duo, Zhang Gaolei, and Chen Zhe each sold ten shares of Vacuum Electronics, receiving 13061 shares each.

Huang Xiaochuan wasn't in a hurry to buy the subscription certificate; he wanted to wait a few more days and see.

When the group arrived at the bank, they found that almost no one was interested in the subscription certificates.

Bank employee Qian Fengdi is working hard to promote the subscription certificates.

"Auntie! You know about stocks, right? Stocks in the market are going crazy right now. You can make money as long as you buy them. Look! With this subscription certificate, you can participate in a lottery to buy stocks. Do you want to buy a few?"

"Help me out! If there's such a good deal, why don't you guys buy it yourselves? It's a sure way to make money, and you're promoting it like this? Do you think I'm stupid? I've heard that even if you buy it, you might not win. If you don't win, it's like your thirty yuan went down the drain. Do you think my money grows on trees? Pshaw!"

Qian Fengdi gave an awkward smile and walked away dejectedly.

She was helpless! She didn't know who came up with this terrible idea, selling a subscription certificate for thirty yuan? There were five million certificates available, but the odds of winning were only 10%, so there was a high probability of not winning. If she didn't win, the subscription certificate would be useless, and the thirty yuan would be wasted.

However, the commission was quite high, three cents for each subscription certificate sold, but unfortunately, we couldn't sell any!

Qian Fengdi sighed softly, "Alas!"

Suddenly someone said to her, "Auntie, we want to buy subscription certificates."

Qian Fengdi, as if hearing heavenly music, exclaimed joyfully, "Great! Young man, how much do you want to buy?"

"Auntie, we need to buy a whiteboard. If you don't sell whiteboards here, we'll go to another bank to buy them."

One side wanted to buy and the other side desperately wanted to sell, so they quickly reached an agreement. Ding Yi, Wu Duo, and the other two bought a lot of subscription certificates from Qian Fengdi.

The other employees at the Wujiaochang branch of ICBC were extremely envious of Qian Fengdi. She had a stroke of incredible luck today, managing to complete the entire branch's total workload all by herself.

The key is that you get a 30-cent commission on each ticket!

Four people bought 11200 subscription certificates from Qian Fengdi. They all looked very young, like students who were still in school. Their families didn't seem to care about them. How could they be allowed to squander money like this?

Wu Duo and Ding Yi, along with two others, were a group of four. Ding Yi had just sold his Dafeile shares and was now rich and shrewd. He bought 10,000 shares, which was divided into 100 books. Wu Duo, Zhang Gaolei, and Chen Zhe each bought 400 subscription certificates, which were all consecutively numbered, and each person bought four books.

One hundred subscription certificates are no small matter, so the bank thoughtfully gave Ding Yi a cloth bag that they usually use to carry money, so that this big customer would take the subscription certificates quickly and not change his mind.

Huang Xiaochuan was the only one who didn't buy anything today. He said he wasn't ready to go back to Qingjiang yet and planned to buy things in a few days. Ding Yi asked him, "How much are you planning to buy?"

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Just like you, I'm also buying 10,000 consecutive numbers!"

Ding Yi lifted the heavy cloth bag and laughed, "That's right, even if we only win one-tenth, we'll still make a profit."

Wu Duo and his two companions carefully put away their subscription certificates, bid farewell to Huang Xiaochuan and Ding, and agreed to meet again after the New Year.

Then the three of them took a taxi to the train station. After seeing them off, Huang Xiaochuan asked Ding Yi, "Where are you going?"

Ding Yi mimicked Aaron Kwok's cool head shake: "I'll take a taxi too!"

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at the bag of subscription certificates in Ding Yi's hand, then said, "You actually came up with the idea of ​​taking a taxi with 300,000 yuan worth of stuff? I'll give you a ride! Wait for me at the bank for a while."

Ding Yi teased, "What are you doing? Riding your beat-up bike to take me? Help me out, don't I have any dignity left?"

"Enough with the nonsense. I told you to wait here, so just wait for me. I'll be there in a bit." With that, Huang Xiaochuan left.

Ding had no choice but to wait in the bank for Huang Xiaochuan to pick him up. A dozen minutes later, a gleaming black SUV stopped in front of the bank. Huang Xiaochuan rolled down the electric window, waved to Ding, and honked the horn to urge him to get in.

Ding Yi's usually small, beady eyes widened into two lotus seeds as he walked to the car, bag in hand, and exclaimed, "Oh my god! No wonder you're taking your driving test? You bought a car? When did you buy it?"

Huang Xiaochuan tilted his head, gesturing for Ding Yi to get in the car: "Hurry up and get in, I'll tell you something."

"Alright!" Ding Yi nimbly walked around to the right side of the car, opened the passenger door, and got in.

After getting on the bus, Huang Xiaochuan asked him, "Where do you live?"

Ding Yi touched the car's interior as he said, "xxx Road."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan exclaimed, "Holy crap! That place is full of high-ranking officials? You've been hiding it well, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan exclaimed, "Holy crap! That place is full of high-ranking officials? You've been hiding it well, haven't you?"

"How dare you say that to me? Aren't you the same? How much did you pay for this car?"

"I happened to buy a smuggled car that was confiscated by customs, for over 300,000 yuan."

Ding Yi touched the car's interior, praising it highly: "Not expensive at all!"

After dropping Ding Yi off at his doorstep, Huang Xiaochuan politely declined Ding Yi's invitation to come inside, and then sped off.

Huang Xiaochuan had already put all the things he needed from the dormitory in the car. After dropping Ding Yi off at home, he first went to the old villa to check on the construction progress, chatted with Lao Kan for a while, and then returned to the old apartment.

Yu Xiang has been busy with exams lately. When Huang Xiaochuan arrived home, Yu Xiang and Ji Mei were studying at home.

After changing her shoes, Huang Xiaochuan asked her, "You're back so early today?"

Yu Xiang looked up and smiled: "I only had one exam this afternoon, and I came back right after it was over. It's so much warmer at home; the study room is too cold."

"Then you can read your book! I'll cook dinner."

"Oh, right! Yu Wei and Tang Yuan will be here in a bit, so make a lot more."

"I see!"

Just as dinner was about to be ready, Yu Wei arrived right on time. Huang Xiaochuan was truly impressed; this skill was something that not everyone could learn.

Huang Xiaochuan opened the door for him, greeted Tang Yuan with a smile, and then immediately put on a cold face, asking Yu Wei, "You came to my house empty-handed?"

After changing into slippers, Yu Wei casually said, "Why bring anything when you're coming to my sister's house for dinner? I'm not a stranger!"

Hey! I have such a bad temper! Huang Xiaochuan really wanted to hit him with the spatula in his hand.

During dinner that evening, Yu Wei asked, "Sis, when are we going home?"

"My exams end on the 23rd, and we'll be back on the 24th. Call your parents after you've had dinner to let them know."

Yu Wei nodded, then asked Huang Xiaochuan, "Are you driving?"

Huang Xiaochuan laughed in exasperation: "Are you stupid? We haven't even bought tickets. Are we going to walk back if we don't drive?"
