Chapter 795 New Share Expansion
The popularity of Vientiane Plaza was expected, but the popularity of Hema Supermarket exceeded most people's expectations. After all, you have to pay for membership before you even enter the store. This business model is simply unheard of.
But it just happened to be popular, and it was really popular.
If Vientiane Plaza has become the benchmark for leisure shopping for ordinary people in Shenzhen, then Hema Supermarket has led a new shopping trend for middle-income people.
Having a Hema Supermarket membership black card in your hand has become a status symbol. After all, the annual fee of 100 yuan a year is not a luxury, but most ordinary people are reluctant to spend this money. , where can’t I go shopping? There is also a supermarket in Vientiane Plaza, and it doesn't cost any money.
Of course, saying this does not prevent them from yearning for Hema Supermarket at all. People are such strange creatures, and the best things are what they can't get.
This directly creates the "high-end" image of Hema Supermarket in the minds of the public. A Hema Supermarket membership card can often make you, who is originally inconspicuous in your workplace, become the target of co-workers.
"Xiao Li, you have a Hema supermarket membership card, can you help me buy something? I heard their croissants are particularly delicious."
"Xiao Li, please bring me some milk from Hema Supermarket. I heard that it is very fresh."
Those manufacturers that did not enter Hema Supermarket in the past regretted it. Yes, Wanxiang Supermarket does have greater foot traffic and higher sales, but Hema Supermarket represents high-end, and the products on the shelves are also in the minds of consumers. Zhongdu has become high-end.
As a result, the threshold of Hema Supermarket's purchasing department has almost been crossed, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming to seek cooperation every day.
At the same time, the popularity of Vientiane Plaza and Hema Supermarket has also triggered a surge in nearby land prices. Although there is no concept of a business district at this time, it does not prevent merchants with a keen sense of smell from stocking up on exotic goods. Moreover, as the flow of people continues to rise, nearby There are also more and more small vendors and shops. In just two months, the street where Vientiane Plaza is located has become the most prosperous commercial center in Shenzhen.
Qin Hao has also made a name for himself in the Guangdong business district by virtue of his status as the major shareholder of Vientiane Plaza and Hema Supermarket. He is constantly receiving various invitations, and people come to seek cooperation and investment. Long queues form in the hotel lobby every day.
At the same time, the performance of the Shenzhen stock market is still booming. The five stocks listed in the first batch have all increased more than five times. As the market continues to rise, it has almost become common sense that you can make money by buying stocks, and the potential The risks are rarely mentioned.
According to the information obtained by Qin Hao, Mr. A borrowed another 40 million yuan from the private sector during this period, and the total amount exceeded 100 million yuan. All of this money was used by him to buy stocks in order to borrow enough funds. , he even released false news many times to boost the stock price.
Busy days always pass quickly, and November 1991 came in a blink of an eye.
After Qin Hao returned to Shanghai, he dialed Abao's phone number immediately.
"Hey, why is Hao so free today?"
A Bao's tone on the other end of the phone was brisk and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"I just returned to Shanghai, where are you?"
When Abao heard Qin Hao's serious tone, he couldn't help but feel nervous: "I'm collecting treasury bills in Anhui. What can I do?"
"Hurry back to Shanghai. I got news that the Shanghai stock market is about to expand."
"New stock expansion? Just wait for me, I'll be right back."
When Abao heard this, he immediately became nervous. He naturally knew the concept of new stock expansion, which meant that the original "old eight-share stock" was no longer a scarce resource. It also meant that a large amount of money would pour into the stock market. If the current Shanghai stock market is still just A bucket of water will become a small pool after the new shares are expanded. This is a completely different concept.
That night, Abao rushed back to Shanghai after a long journey.
Jinxian Road Tokyo at night.
Seeing Abao's appearance, Lingzi asked with concern: "Oh, what's wrong with you? Were you robbed on the road?"
"It's okay. Please prepare some hot water for me. I'll wash my face and come all the way back from Anhui." Abao took off his coat and sat on the chair with a tired look on his face.
Lingzi snorted softly: "I haven't seen anyone for ten days and a half, and as soon as I come back I start ordering people around. I'm not your maid, so please figure it out."
Complaining was a complaint, but Reiko went to the kitchen and brought a basin of hot water over.
"Have you eaten yet? I'll ask the chef to cook you two side dishes."
A Bao wiped his face with a hot towel: "Prepare a few more dishes. I have made an appointment with A Hao. He will be here soon."
"Mr. Qin is coming too. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't prepared anything." Lingzi's eyes lit up when she heard that Qin Hao was coming. Qin Hao's influence on Huanghe Road is obvious to all. As long as he is there, Every restaurant will be overcrowded when eating at any restaurant. The main reason why Jin Meilin is so popular is that Qin Hao is a frequent customer there and he is also a caterer. Naturally, she also wants to borrow Qin Hao's reputation.
"It's okay, just stir-fry a few side dishes. Hao is not the kind of picky person."
"That's not okay. Whether he is picky or not is his business. If word spreads, will I still be able to continue my business?"
With that said, Lingzi took the bag and went out. Half an hour later, she came back with big and small bags. When Abao saw it, he couldn't help teasing: "Where did you get so many dishes?"
"Jin Meilin, in order to serve you two uncles, my hands are almost broken." Lingzi rubbed her wrist, and then extended her right hand to A Bao: "These dishes total 680 yuan, give me the money "
"I didn't bring any cash. I'll give it to you when I settle the accounts at the end of the month."
While talking, the restaurant door was pushed open and Qin Hao's figure walked in.
Abao said to Lingzi: "Let's go to the private room upstairs to talk. Just watch and don't let anyone go up there."
"Why is it so mysterious? Don't worry, there are no other guests except you tonight." Reiko said unhappily.
In the private room on the second floor, Abao asked nervously as soon as he sat down: "Is the news about the expansion of new shares accurate?"
"It should be close to ten." Qin Hao nodded solemnly. According to the timeline in the play, the Shanghai stock market will expand in 1992, and new share subscription certificates will be issued at the same time. Abao also relied on the new share subscription certificate to make a fortune in one fell swoop.
"Ah Hao, I remember that you still have 16,000 shares of Yanzhong Industrial shares in your hand. What are your plans?"
"Throw it away."
"Throw it away? All of it?"
Qin Hao said sternly: "With the expansion of new stocks, investors' enthusiasm for the old eight-share stocks will definitely decrease. Moreover, the stock prices of the old eight-share stocks are artificially high, and new investors who have entered the market will not buy into them. To put it bluntly, stocks are a game of drumming and passing the news. Once the new stocks expand, , it is difficult for the stock price of Laobagu to continue to remain high. Take advantage of the fact that not many people know the news yet, and quickly cash out.”
"Okay." Abao has absolute trust in Qin Hao, and he also believes in Qin Hao's intelligence source.
While eating and chatting, Qin Hao saw A Bao's tired appearance, so he advised: "There is no profit in treasury bonds now. It is better to let go as soon as possible and focus on foreign trade and the stock market."
The reason why huge profits were made by reselling treasury bonds in the past was, to put it bluntly, because the information was not transparent. Many places did not even know that treasury bonds could make money. After private trading of treasury bonds was allowed in 1988, it was reported on TV and newspapers, that is, in some towns and rural areas. I don’t know if I am secluded, and because there are so many people doing it, I actually don’t make much money anymore.
Abao nodded: "I'm ready to let go. I have a friend over there in Anhui. He has connections there and can collect it for me. I'll give him 10% of the profit, so everyone can make a profit." I won’t do it this year after I finish it.”
"Better let it go now."
Abao was stunned and looked at Qin Hao doubtfully.
After Qin Hao pondered for a moment, he whispered: "I also got a piece of news. This time the Shanghai stock market is expanding, the new stock listing is not a direct transaction, but a new stock subscription certificate is issued. Only with the subscription certificate can you be eligible to draw lots. If you win the lottery, Only then can you buy new shares.”
"Is the news accurate?" Abao was shocked when he heard this and almost dropped the wine glass in his hand.
"It should be reliable."
"When will this new share subscription certificate be issued?"
Qin Hao shook his head: "I don't know about this, but it should be within the next few months."
Abao pondered for a long time: "Ahao, do you have any ideas after asking about this information?"
"If the issuance of new share subscription warrants is relatively small, it should be an opportunity."
After Qin Hao finished speaking, Abao's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"
At this moment, Lingzi walked in, Qin Hao winked at Abao, and the latter swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"You're almost done drinking. I'll go back first. You should also go to bed early. If you need anything, call me anytime."
Qin Hao couldn't say he disliked Lingzi, but he was still somewhat defensive.
After Qin Hao left, Lingzi stared at Abao with her hands on her hips and asked, "What did you mean just now?"
"What do you mean? Ah Hao was almost drunk, so he went home to rest." Ah Bao avoided Ling Zi's gaze, feeling somewhat guilty.
However, Lingzi was not so easy to fool. She grabbed A Bao's arm and said, "Don't do this with me. When I came in just now, you clearly had something to say. He winked at you, so you didn't What are you talking about? To guard against thieves."
"It's a shame that I worked so hard to go to Huanghe Road to buy food for you. I took it as a donkey's liver and lungs out of kindness."
Abao had no choice but to defend: "There is nothing left to say. You saw it wrong, okay? Who is so kind as to treat me like a donkey? In your eyes, I am this kind of person?"
"Hmph, you must be hiding something from me anyway. Well, since you are so guarded against me, don't come to my store again. My temple is too small to accommodate you two great Bodhisattvas."
"Oh, please don't make trouble unreasonably, please."
"Am I being unreasonable? Oh, don't leave. Tell me clearly today."
Abao had already run to the road, stopped a taxi, and drove away. Reiko was so angry that she stamped her feet on the side of the road.
Early the next morning, Abao went to the Peace Hotel and waited for an hour for his uncle to come to work.
"What made you so anxious? Didn't I tell you that you should stay calm and collected when encountering trouble?"
Abao didn't wait for his uncle to finish nagging, so he told him the news Qin Hao told him last night.
Seeing his uncle frowning and deep in thought, Abao immediately asked, "Uncle, have you also heard something?"
"I have heard that the stock market is going to expand, but it has never been verified. Now that Ahao has such news, it seems that it is almost the same."
Abao asked hurriedly: "Then what should we do now?"
"Go to Commander Cai and ask him to sell all the stocks in the fleet."
"I know this. Do you want to tell him about the new stock subscription certificate?"
The uncle shook his head: "It's better not to spread the news that has not been confirmed. If you spread it correctly, someone will trace the source of the news. Ahao told you because he trusts you. Don't make it difficult for him. If you spread it incorrectly, it will affect other people's judgment, and they will blame you for giving him false news."
"Okay, I know what to do."
Then, Abao called Commander Cai to gather the people of the joint fleet.
"Okay, then I'll notify them to gather at Jinfenghuang."
Huanghe Road is not as prosperous as at night, but the business of various restaurants is not bad. With the advantage of being close to Nanjing Road, the boss ladies of Huanghe Road restaurants are making a lot of money.
Jinfenghuang still appeared at the door of the restaurant in a gorgeous manner.
"Oh, President Bao, you haven't come to me for a long time. Commander Cai and others are waiting for you in the upstairs box."
"Really? You have been out of town recently. The boss lady is getting more and more beautiful."
Under the guidance of the waiter, Abao came to the upstairs box.
Commander Cai and Stamp Li and others have been waiting for a long time. After a round of greetings,
A Bao told the news of the new stock expansion, but except for Commander Cai and Stamp Li, no one else in the fleet reacted to the news.
These people actually had no financial knowledge and no research on stocks. The reason they joined the joint fleet was to curry favor with others, and Commander Cai and A Bao also needed their funds to manipulate the stock price. Both sides got what they needed.
Commander Cai asked seriously: "Is the news accurate?"
"I'm about 60% sure." A Bao didn't say it for sure.
Stamp Li couldn't sit still: "Then we should sell the stocks in our hands as soon as possible, otherwise when the news of the new stock expansion spreads, the stock price will definitely collapse."
Other members of the fleet panicked when they heard that the stock price was going to collapse.
A Bao said calmly: "Don't panic, everyone. We have a lot of stocks on hand. If we sell them all like this, it may cause panic in the market, and no one will be able to escape."
"In this way, we retreat three and advance one, and sell the stocks in batches. This way, we can not only sell the goods, but also do not affect our profit."
Stamp Li's eyes lit up: "This is a good method. Retreat three and advance one to stabilize the stock price. In less than half a month, we can get out of it unscathed, and maybe even make a fortune."
"Okay, then do as Bao said, I have no objection."
"I listen to Bao."
Commander Cai saw that no one in the fleet asked for his opinion, and they all stood on A Bao's side. He felt a little aggrieved. After all, he was the one who took the lead in setting up this joint fleet.
"Commander Cai, what do you think?"
"I have no objection either."
