Chapter 192 Train Going South [4000]
"Yes 7."
"Yes to ten."
"don't want……"
"I'll play against A."
"First, get the points. 5+K. I have 45 points..."
"Haha, that's what I'm waiting for. I have a king bomb, three threes with a four, and I'm out of cards. Give me money, fifty cents per person, hurry up."
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. On the train heading south, Lu Yang, who was bored, played poker with Gong Pingan, Da Jun, and Lao Liu.
I played the simplest game of 5+k.
This time, no one expected that Lao Liu would get the big and small jokers at the same time, making a royal bomb. He made a fortune in silence and finally won all three games.
Lu Yang shook his head, took out 5 cents and handed it to the person who was showing off.
Fortunately, they were sitting in a soft sleeper car with exactly four seats, so the four of them didn't have to worry about disturbing others. Otherwise, Lao Liu's boastful laughter would have caused dissatisfaction among other passengers.
"Jingle Bell."
Suddenly, the mobile phone on Lu Yang's waist rang.
Seeing this, the others put down their cards and the carriage suddenly became quiet.
Lu Yang was also full of confusion.
Not many people knew the number of his mobile phone. Even the customers only knew the phone number of the new landline installed in the factory.
The only people who could get through to his number directly were his wife and other close relatives, as well as a few key members of the factory and the old village party secretary...
who can that be?
Could it be that something happened in the factory just after I left?
Lu Yang took the mobile phone from his waist and found that the phone number displayed was the village committee's. He couldn't help but become even more confused. The factory had just installed a new telephone line and a new landline last month, so they shouldn't have to go to the village committee to call when there was something going on.
After answering the call with doubt, Lu Yang heard the voice on the other end and called out, "Uncle?"
The person opposite was indeed the old village party secretary.
He spoke very formally, unlike usual. Yang Yazi called out, "Boss Lu, it's like this. I have something to discuss with you. The higher-ups attach great importance to the coal mine in the back mountain. They sent people down to investigate and found that the peat reserves are astonishing. Fortunately, they found that they are all shallow coal that is very easy to develop. The village committee is now preparing to strive for the right to develop it independently.
But you also know that the village committee has no money.
In addition, the state-owned coal mine also intends to intervene and has sent people to the village committee to communicate. Now, many parties are vying for it, and there are several private bosses alone. Alas, the village committee has no money and has been forced into a corner. It is about to lose its voice. I, your uncle, have no choice but to think of you. My dear nephew, you are the richest man in our village, and the villagers are counting on you..."
The implicit meaning of the words can be summed up in ten words: no money, can't get hard, boss needs money.
However, Lu Yang sat up straight with a serious expression.
Money is a small problem.
The key is that the opportunity he has been waiting for has finally come.
I have always said that I have too much money to spend.
Lu Yang also called Aunt Liu who was far away in Shanghai, and Vice Chairman Li of Vacuum Electronics, hoping to buy more Vacuum Electronics shares to stockpile, but they repeatedly told him that they could not be sold.
Firstly, Lu Yang had already bought 10 yuan before, and he bought another one, and asked for a million yuan, which exceeded their psychological expectations.
The internal valuation of Vacuum Electronics stock was less than 100 million yuan. The major shareholders were all state-owned enterprises, and the smallest ones were companies like Shencheng Urban Investment. Even the small shareholders were mostly senior management of the company. There was no precedent for accepting individual shareholders to become directors of the company. Even though Lu Yang repeatedly stated that he did not need a board seat or voting rights and simply wanted to buy more stocks, he was still politely rejected by the other party.
The reason is the second point.
The establishment of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange has been approved by the higher authorities and is currently under preparation.
The news spread across the country like a storm.
As the domestic financial center and the true birthplace of securities trading, this storm caused widespread discussion in the industry after it reached Shanghai.
Everyone has reason to believe.
Since even a city like Peng, which had nothing, was able to establish a new stock exchange under the spirit of reform and opening up.
Then why can't Shanghai, which already has a foundation and a soil for securities trading, reopen its securities trading center?
Obvious.
Everyone has foreseen that when the winds from above and below blow at the same time, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Center will definitely reopen sooner or later, and it is believed that the time will not be too far away.
After having this certification, will those who hold the old eight shares be willing to sell them again?
Vacuum Electronics is also one of the old eight stocks.
The establishment of the old eight stocks was to wait for the day when the Shanghai Stock Exchange would reopen and serve as the first batch of reserve listed companies to be used as a spark.
With this wind blowing now, not only will retail investors not make a move, even these old eight stock companies will hold on to their company's stocks tightly, hoping that the company's stocks will soar after the stock exchanges reopen in the future.
Lu Yang made several phone calls but to no avail. Finally he had to admit that he could not spend his money.
We can only wait patiently until next year when the stock exchange reopens. In the initial stage, many investors are still waiting and the stocks are still at the starting point. Some even decline slightly. This time is very short, but as long as you seize it, it is enough for you to buy in large quantities and make a fortune.
Lu Yang is a sweet-talker. He has already made an agreement with Aunt Liu in Shencheng that once there is confirmed news about the establishment of the stock exchange, as an internal employee, Aunt Liu will call him immediately to tell him the opening date.
That way he wouldn't miss it.
Otherwise, you have to buy a national newspaper from time to time and carefully search for important information hidden in the newspaper, for fear of missing something.
This is what it means to be an official if you have someone in the court.
Only then was Lu Yang able to truly put aside the affairs of Shencheng and concentrate on running his own business.
For example, the Canton Fair was also a top priority in his plan. But he didn't expect that the light in the east would come out in the west first. The Houshan Coal Mine, which he had not held out any hope for, actually waved to him at this time when he was not even in Shanghuai Village.
Lu Yang took a deep breath.
After sorting out his thoughts, he asked one of the most crucial questions: "Uncle, tell me the truth. Apart from the government employees, are there any bosses who have powerful backgrounds among the private individuals that we cannot afford to offend?"
Making money is important.
But for Lu Yang, being able to make money safely is more important.
The old village party secretary on the phone was also a bachelor: "If you want to ask me who I can't afford to offend, there are certainly some, but as for people with powerful backgrounds, I don't think there should be such people in Zhao County. Your uncle is not stupid. I have already inquired about the backgrounds of these private bosses. There are only two people who need to be paid attention to, and the others are nothing to worry about.
One is Xie Mengzi, who runs a coke kiln in the town, backed by a state-owned coal mine. It is said that he has two or three cousins who are formal workers in the state-owned coal mine, but their specific positions are still being inquired about.
One is Li Siliu, the boss of Tongjiang Sand Field. This guy is a bit of a gangster. It is said that he used to be a gangster, but later he turned over a new leaf and opened this sand field with his brothers.
As for his background, it seems that he doesn't have much. By the way, he has a nephew who is a policeman at the Hongshaling Police Station in the county.
Uncle, that’s all I found out.
My dear nephew, it’s not that I’m anxious, but the village committee has been really pushed into a corner. They can’t come up with the money, so they can only sell the land in the back mountain at a low price and give up the mining rights. I don’t know which bastard did this, but now the county and the town are giving us an ultimatum. "
It all comes down to money. Without money, you can't be strong and can only be at the mercy of others.
After Lu Yang heard these words.
After thinking about it for a while and weighing himself, he felt that it was okay, so he said: "Uncle, it's like this, I can help with the money problem. The village committee might as well be tougher next time. I can help the village advance within 100 million, just as an interest-free loan."
"really?"
The old village party secretary opposite was breathing a little quickly.
Lu Yang smiled and said, "Of course I take it seriously, but I also have a request. I want to own as much shares of the new tea factory and coal mine as the village committee owns, as I borrow from the village committee.
Of course, I don’t need the village to help me with the shares, but I need the village committee to help me get them. It may be a little difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, considering this 100 million interest-free loan, uncle, I think the village committee should not refuse, right? "
The person on the other side's breathing became more rapid, but he didn't dare to agree easily.
A 100 million interest-free loan!
Even if you sell the entire Shanghuai Village ten times, you may not be able to sell out all of it.
The old village secretary gritted his teeth and said, "My dear nephew, I really want to agree to you, but I can't lie to you. The reorganization of Chashan Coal Mine has already determined two investors. One is a company directly controlled by the county committee, which is currently preparing to be established, and the other is a state-owned coal mine. These two companies will eat up at least 55%. The remaining 45% is the last bit of leftovers that will be competed for by our village committee and various private bosses. There is not much left for the village committee.
Besides, my dear nephew, you don’t need 100 million. This time, the village committee can only get 15% of the shares for the villagers, about 30. In addition, the land of the tea mountain is worth 10, which is converted into 5% of the shares. This is why I have been arguing so hard these days that my throat is smoking. I can get all the benefits for the villagers. "
5% of the shares are worth 10 yuan, and 15% of the shares are worth 30 yuan. It seems that the county and the state-owned coal mine are planning to spend two million yuan to purchase machinery and equipment to reopen the Chashan Coal Mine!
Well, it's promising, a big deal.
After Lu Yang did some calculations in his mind, he realized that what his uncle had said on the phone before, that the peat reserves under the tea mountain were rich and easy to mine, was not false.
Therefore, he once again strengthened his determination to invest and get a piece of this fat meat.
Lu Yang's tone gradually became heavier: "Uncle, the county needs meat, and the state-owned coal mines also need meat. We can't afford to offend them, but there is a lot of meat left. The village committee will eat some on behalf of the villagers, and I, Lu Yang, will eat some. The shareholders will have enough. Why do we have to continue to divide the cake and let others eat it? Uncle, let me ask you, do they really have such good teeth?"
The old village party secretary was a little confused about the answer.
He has been seeking stability all his life. If this opportunity was not so rare that it was enough to lead his fellow villagers to become rich and live a well-off life, he would not have come to Lu Yang for help.
But Lu Yang doesn't think so.
Or he would just not lend the money and pretend he didn't hear about it.
Either he borrows money or he wants to get involved.
But since he has intervened, he is bound to offend people. There is only one piece of meat. The county has already taken a big bite, and the state-owned coal mine has also taken a big bite. Now it is the village committee's turn. The village committee has taken a small bite. If Lu Yang also takes a small bite, will the rest be able to be shared by so many private bosses?
Wouldn't they be jealous of Lu Yang, who got in through the backdoor?
Since we have offended them all, we might as well take them all, show our strength and make a bigger splash. Lu Yang said before that he has no rivals among the private enterprises in Zhao County, and this is still valid. If we don't even have confidence in this, how can we go out in the future?
"Okay, I'll try, but you better come back soon, or I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
Lu Yang's agreement to advance the money only gave him part of the confidence. The other part of the lack of confidence came from the fact that Lu Yang himself was not in Shanghuai Village, which made him feel a little insecure.
Lu Yang then gave him an idea: "Look, uncle, try to delay as much as possible. Money is not a problem. You can brag about your wealth within one or two million. You can scare as many people as you want. Maybe those small bosses will be scared away by you before I get home. But don't worry, I will be back soon, not more than a week."
Since its establishment, the Canton Fair has been held in spring and autumn, each time for five days. The train that Lu Yang took took 22 hours to go south, and it has been less than ten hours since he got on the train. Even if he gets off the train tomorrow, it does not mean that the Canton Fair will open immediately. It will take another two days.
Two days, plus five days, plus one day and one night for the return trip.
Lu Yang wants to keep his word.
Have to get back within a week.
I'm afraid he is not planning to attend the closing ceremony of the Canton Fair, and he has to leave at least two days in advance.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang looked at the three people opposite him: "Lucky, I think Shanghuai Village has a chance to enter the National Reform and Opening-up Pilot Demonstration Zone. Of course, congratulations to me. If nothing goes wrong, I, your buddies, may get rich again. Come on, let's continue playing cards."
He was prepared to lose some money so that everyone could have some fun together.
"cut"
But the three of them ignored him, threw the cards away, and climbed back into their beds to sleep.
5 cents a game, and winning is too slow.
Especially when they heard Lu Yang talking about millions, they felt that winning this little money was really meaningless.
My mouth tastes bitter!
I am afraid that my brothers will suffer, but I am also afraid that they will drive a Land Rover. I wonder if the same principle can be applied here?
I wish all my fellow book lovers a happy Dragon Boat Festival! The holiday is over, I will try to continue my daily reading tomorrow, good night!!!
