1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 616: Selling stocks is like selling cabbage

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year in the north, and it is also the Kitchen God's Festival, commonly known as Sacrifice to the Kitchen God (worshiping the Kitchen God).

Sacrificing stoves is a very influential folk custom in our country, which originates from the ancient people living in China who worshiped fire.

Apart from the same form and meaning, the traditional custom of offering sacrifices to the stove is different between the north and the south, that is, the time is different.

The sacrifice to the stove in the north (Off Year) is on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the sacrifice to the stove in the south (off year) is on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

In fact, a long time ago, the twelfth lunar month was celebrated on the twelfth lunar month in both the north and the south.

This time began to appear in the Jin Dynasty and became popular in the Song Dynasty. Fan Chengda wrote in a poem: "It is said in ancient times that on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God wants to talk to the sky."

Since the time has been agreed upon long ago, why is there still a time difference between the New Year in the north and the south?
This deviation started to appear in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty would hold a ceremony to worship the sky on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month every year, maybe to save trouble!So I simply paid my respects to the Kitchen God in advance on this day.

In order to put an end to formalism, the emperor personally changed a traditional custom.

There is also a saying in other places that "officials are on the third day, people are on the fourth day, and families are on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month." That is to say, the official government holds sacrifices on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the common people hold sacrifices on the 24th, and the people on the water hold sacrifices on the 25th.

The time or place may be different, but everyone's purpose is surprisingly the same, which is to send the Stove Lord to heaven.

God said good things, return to the palace to bring auspiciousness.

In order to have good luck in the coming year, every household will pay homage to the Stove Lord before he goes to heaven, say some nice words and bribe the Stove Lord.

Before bribing the Stove Lord, you must first invite the Stove Lord home. As early as two days ago, the old man Luo Shaoyi invited the Stove Lord and his wife to his home when he was rushing to the temple fair.

Purely hand-made wood-block watermark prints of Yangliuqing statues, the amiable, solemn, and quiet Kitchen God and Kitchen God's grandmother are sitting in full dress, giving people a solemn feeling.

When the New Year comes, and fireworks and firecrackers are not completely banned in the urban area of ​​​​Beijing, I will first set off a small whip to remind the Stove Lord and his wife.

Since it is indeed difficult to see earthen stoves within the second ring road of Beijing, the invited Stove Lord naturally cannot stick to the stove, but sticks to the wall, looking at the blue light of the stove fire.

Then according to the old etiquette, my wife Su Guilan took the candy and heated it by the stove fire, and then wiped it on the lips of the Stove Lord and the Stove Lord’s grandma.

This is the legendary little mouth with honey on it.

Even if the Kitchen God and his grandmother don’t like to eat it and are afraid of getting diabetes, they have no control over it.If you don't submit obediently, you can only wait for them to cooperate.

Who told us, the Chinese nation, to always be so friendly to God?

Since we cannot convince you, then we will choose to influence you.

On this day, in addition to worshiping the Stove Prince and asking him to say a few kind words to the Jade Emperor, he also participates in voluntary labor and prepares for the general cleaning of the house to welcome the New Year.

After the New Year, this twelfth lunar month is a good day. There is nothing else busy these days, so we have to start preparing for the New Year.

Start with your own hygiene, take a hot bath and then get your hair cut.

As the old saying goes: "If you have money or not, you can shave your head to celebrate the New Year."

Doing these means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, eliminating and resigning from the bad things and worries of the year, and welcoming the new year with a brand new self, which means a new atmosphere in the new year.

"This kid, doesn't he just want to get a haircut? Why should he hide from me?"

When Su Guilan saw Little October coming back from having her mother's haircut, she greeted her very enthusiastically, ready to say a few words of concern, but she didn't expect that Little October lowered her head and deliberately avoided her, without saying hello, and ran back in a hurry. His own room.

"Mom, this kid is angry with me."

"What's going on?" Her precious grandson is not in a good state, and Su Guilan must find out.

Zhu Lin told her the matter. The old lady was stunned, and then she felt happy.

"You said, if the child doesn't like the haircut, why don't you shave it? Why force him?

I gonna go see. "

The old lady turned around and took off the apron from her waist, and walked into the west wing quietly.

Zhu Lin then muttered in a low voice, "Isn't the short hair also pretty?"

"It looks good, but a short haircut is not our family's favorite hairstyle in October." Luo Tao, who parked a few steps late, heard Zhu Lin's muttering as soon as he entered the hospital and retorted mercilessly.

Except for the fact that little October's hair was not luxuriant when he was born, after he turned one year old, he has always had the image of a handsome young boy with long flowing hair and a gentle manner.

Now he was actually given a tough guy image, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

Zhu Lin glanced at him and said, "An afterthought." After saying this, he returned to the house.

"Ahem, why am I doing this in hindsight? It's obviously an afterthought, okay?"

Luo Tao refused to admit that he was thinking it as an afterthought. It was too ugly to say it. It would be better to listen to it elegantly and meaningfully with the benefit of hindsight.

"Girl, do you still want to eat?" The little girl really has the demeanor of a general. She doesn't panic at all. She wears a thick winter coat and lies on the stone bench alone. She silently endures the winter temperature of the stone bench and licks the candy with her small mouth. .

She glanced at Luo Tao, then at the candy man in her hand, and said, "Dad, this is the only one I have."

If the child said this, it would be too shocking. I don't know how to be more tactful. No matter how greedy my father is, it is impossible for him to bully the children like Zhang Erbo in the alley.

He glanced at her, and then ignored the little girl who was the most protective of her family.

The little girl looked at her father, who was like a big hungry wolf, returning to the east wing, and her heart was relieved. She slowly stood up on the stone bench, not intending to warm the stone bench before leaving.

Following the same pace, he returned to the West Wing Room very carefully.

........................................................................

After tidying up, we waited patiently for the arrival of New Year’s Eve.

As luck would have it, some trivial matters actually came to my door at this time.

"What? A man named Wang Shi came door-to-door to sell their company's stocks?"

As soon as he heard the name Wang Shi, Luo Tao immediately became interested. A man who likes to climb mountains must be an interesting person, otherwise he will not be liked by young women.

Luo Tao was not very interested in him promoting stocks. He had bought this stuff a lot in the past few years, and he had bought millions of shares since the first share of Feile.

Some have fallen into disrepair, while others are still thriving.

(From [-] to [-], there were more than [-] joint-stock enterprises nationwide.)
Luo Tao doesn't care much about these things. After all, he has the most vulgar things now.

I had written letters with this man before, and although there is a few years difference in age between the two, Luo Tao is a pioneer in this era, and his business methods are worth learning for all entrepreneurs in this era.

A booklet about "5S" management in modern enterprises is enough to win Luo Tao a large number of fans in this era.Wang Shi is one of them, including Jack Ma, who is still studying.

He had also gotten to know Wang Shi before. He was an Internet celebrity businessman and it was difficult to avoid attracting attention. Luo Tao knew that this man also had a good background and that his father-in-law had a good background.

Otherwise, how could he have earned 80 million by selling corn in the early 300s.

He and Luo Tao were both the same type of people, with brains and connections, and they all relied on the help of friends to get rich in the beginning.

In [-], Wang Shi took the lead in forming Wanke with the support of Shen Tefa. It didn't take long for friction between "mother and son" to continue.

After that, the two sides became more and more fierce, fighting openly and secretly.

This situation lasted until [-] before things turned around. The superiors were planning to establish a joint-stock system in Pengcheng. No company responded. Only Wang Shi volunteered to raise his hand and agreed to this policy.

He does not have a high level of ideological consciousness, he just smells the opportunity to make Wan possible operate independently.

Naturally, Shen Tefa could not just sit back and watch this happen, so he refused resolutely, and then said, "Even Sun Wukong, you can't escape the palm of my Tathagata Buddha."

The real struggle between "mother and son" begins from this moment.

Not to mention relying on friends when going out and relying on his father-in-law for business, he miraculously met the top leader in Pengcheng and got his support. Finally, in [-], he got what he wanted, and the plan to change shares of Wanke was passed.

On December 28 of the same year, 2800 million shares of Wank were officially issued, priced at one yuan per share. Look, this is a rich man.

Based on the history of its existence in our country, stocks are not a new thing, but most people still don't buy it.

After all, not many people thought this thing would make them rich.

Before there was an exchange, stocks might be the same as bonds in everyone's eyes.

Once, Wang Shi managed to gather a large number of self-employed people through connections and enthusiastically talked to them about the value and significance of issuing stocks. However, no one present listened carefully because no one could understand. He was chattering on the stage. What did wow say?
As time went by, some self-employed people became impatient and said directly to him: "Stop talking and just tell us how much each person should donate."

From this story, it is not difficult to see that people at this time were not interested in stocks. Nowadays, people spend money to buy them just like people in later generations buy Fufu lottery tickets. Their mood may be slightly different.

"Yes? I heard that Vanke's stock is not very good. It has been almost a month since it was issued, and more than half of it has not yet been sold.

... I heard from comrades in Pengcheng that in the early stage, they went to farmers' markets to sell stocks, just like selling cabbage. "Hou Ming said this with a smile on his lips.

This is not ridicule, it is simply funny.

The implication behind the words was to remind Luo Tao that Wanke’s stock was a pit and he couldn’t jump into it.

Hou Ming's concern is justified. After all, putting stocks and vegetables together for PK competition will somewhat lower the original grade of stocks.

This has caused a subconscious misunderstanding for everyone. Wank's stock is no different from cabbage. It is better to buy a few more kilograms of organic and pollution-free vegetables produced by Xichang Vegetable Basket.

Hou Ming has the limitations of this era. This cannot be said to be short-sighted. After all, not everyone has Mr. Ren’s vision.

"Well, then don't be in a hurry to reply, you first give me a copy of the information about Wanke, the more detailed the better."

As for whether to buy their stocks, don’t jump to conclusions so early. In this desert-like industry, let’s let it dry out first. Anyway, there are still more than 1000 million cakes that no one eats.

Anxious is a eunuch, not an emperor.

For this kind of person who left his name in the original history, we can only provide help in times of need, and there is no need to add icing on the cake.

That afternoon, Hou Ming sent someone to deliver detailed information about Wanke.

Luo Tao read it carefully, and found that except for the obscure parts that were different from those of later generations, other places were still very similar.

The Wanke information we see now is closer to its original appearance. This is the moment closest to the truth.

"No wonder he has such a smooth road ahead. If I had such a father-in-law, I would be able to become a billionaire."

Looking at the information in his hand, Luo Tao sighed for no reason.I didn't hear envy from it, but I heard a bit of pride.

After a while, Luo Tao called Hou Ming.

"Tell the person in charge at Pengcheng that since they are asking for help, you should buy a little bit, 200 million shares in the name of the company."

When Hou Ming heard that he wanted to buy 200 million shares, he immediately quit. He said tactfully: "Isn't this too much? The company needs money everywhere now. How about we buy 50 shares?"

"Too little. His background alone is not worth it. In addition, I still have a little friendship with this person. This depends on both the monk's face and the Buddha's face.

I think this man is a character, so don't underestimate him.

Isn't it just 200 million?It's nothing to us, Xichang has to pay a thousand gold to buy horse bones... I believe he will not let me down.

The company's finances have been a bit tight recently, and I want to squeeze in. I can still get 200 million. "

Luo Tao knew that if he invested Wanke now, he would get a huge profit and he would never suffer a loss.

The 200 million was invested in Wang Shi and the person behind him.

Of course, Shen Tefa's face must also be taken care of here. It is impossible to support Wanke too openly for that little benefit. Their "mother and son" fight has just begun, and Xichang does not want to get involved.

Xichang doesn't want to make enemies in Pengcheng, let alone become the target of others' attacks.

Just think about it.

Luo Tao had a feeling that if he refused today, there would definitely be a call coming directly to his home tomorrow.

Luo Tao briefly explained some of the reasons to Hou Ming, and he knew what to do.

"I understand. Should I reply to them today, or in two days?"

Luo Tao thought about this question for a moment and then said: "It's better to reply to them as soon as possible! It's better not to let them call me."

"Okay, I'll let Pengcheng handle this matter."

I hung up the phone and looked at the information lying on the desk.

"How many of these people can start from scratch without relying on external forces... Without the support of one or a few noble people along the way, it will be difficult to get to Rome."
