I'm back in 1990

Chapter 86: Comics

Upon hearing Huang Xiaochuan's words, Sang Weihong became furious.

"Are you treating asking you to take a part-time job in the student council like it's your life? Is it really that serious?"

"I am not qualified for such a great responsibility, senior, please forgive me! I'm going to be late for class, see you later!"

Without giving Sang Weihong a chance to reply, he turned and ran. The main problem was that he was running late; any further delay would make him late for class.

The professor teaching today's general education class is notoriously difficult. If he catches you being late or skipping class, no matter how good your grades are this semester, you'll fail the course and have to retake it.

Sang Weihong was so angry that she stomped her feet behind him. She had never seen such a person before.

When I arrived at the dormitory building, I happened to run into a few students from room 222 leaving the building.

"Xiao Chuan, where did you run off to? Okay, you don't need to go upstairs anymore. I've brought your textbooks down for you." Ding Yi handed Huang Xiao Chuan his textbooks.

"Thanks, Lao Ding!"

Huang Xiaochuan took the textbook from Ding Yi.

Ding wanted to talk to Huang Xiaochuan about stocks as soon as he saw him.

"Xiaochuan, did you know? The newspaper said that the new stock exchange will open on December 19th, and all eight stocks currently on the market will be available for trading then."

"I reckon the stock prices of the ones you currently hold are definitely going to rise."

Huang Xiaochuan looked at Ding Yi curiously: "How did you know the stock price would go up?"

Ding Yi looked at Huang Xiaochuan as if he were an idiot.

"I seriously suspect you impersonated someone to get into university? You don't even know such a simple question?"

"Hehe! It's just because the share capital is relatively small!" In front of the real person, Huang Xiaochuan stopped pretending to be stupid.

The reason why the "old eight stocks" were able to break through the 1,000 yuan mark was not because of performance growth and the increase in equity value, but because the share capital was relatively small at that time.

Huang Xiaochuan really admired Ding Yi for being able to see through this as a freshman. He could see the essence of things at a glance, a skill that not everyone possesses.

One must possess extremely high intelligence, a broad perspective, and strong comprehensive analytical skills.

Huang Xiaochuan felt that Ding Yi possessed all these qualities, and if this guy were to enter the stock market, he could probably become a financial tycoon.

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan was also quite knowledgeable about stocks, Ding Yi took the initiative to ask, "Would you like to buy some more stocks?"

Huang Xiaochuan looked at him, unsure of his meaning, but still replied, "I do want to! The key is that there aren't many stocks circulating in the market; buying them on the exchange is just a matter of luck."

"Tch! Large-scale stock transactions are all done privately these days. After the transaction is completed, you just need to go to the exchange to change the shareholder information." Ding Yi revealed an important piece of information.

Huang Xiaochuan astutely recognized the business opportunity here: large quantities of stocks could be purchased.

However, Huang Xiaochuan encountered another problem: he didn't have much cash on hand, and it wasn't the right time to sell the stamps yet. This was really a dilemma!

But it's always good to ask, right?

"Old Ding, do you have any connections in this area?"

"My uncle! Didn't I tell you last time? My uncle is one of the people in charge of the shareholding reform of enterprises in Shanghai. Many people ask my uncle to act as a middleman when buying or selling stocks. If you have money, I can ask my uncle to help you contact sellers."

"No, no, no! I'm out of money right now, I've invested it all in stocks, let's talk about it later!"

"Okay! Just tell me if you need anything, and I'll take you to my uncle."

"good!"

"Old Ding, if there's such a way, why don't you buy it?"

"I'm poor! Who's like you, a rich dog, a nouveau riche?"

"Alright, alright, I'm not borrowing money from you. Stop pretending to be poor in front of me!"

Huang Xiaochuan didn't hear a single word of the general education class.

He sat in the corner of the last row, pondering some questions.

The market price of an 80 Monkey coin is now 180 yuan, more than doubling in less than two months. Such a price increase is truly astonishing.

The stocks I've acquired so far can only be held for now. I'll have to go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange after December 19th to exchange the physical paper stocks for electronic ones.

Actually, now is not a very good time to buy stocks. In Huang Xiaochuan's memory, the three stocks he currently holds will not reach their peak until May 1992.

The returns are incomparable to investing in stamps, so for now, we should focus on stamps and keep an eye on stocks.

It seems that Ding Yi knows some inside information; I'll ask him about it from time to time in the future.

However, there is one stock that absolutely cannot be overlooked, although it has not yet undergone a capital increase or share expansion.

This stock has seen a cumulative increase of 10,000 times in history. That means if you buy a stock for one dollar and hold it for several years, through rights issues, bonus issues, and other operations, the one dollar stock will become ten thousand dollars. Similarly, if you buy ten dollars worth of stock, you will earn one hundred thousand dollars in the future. If you buy one hundred thousand dollars worth of stock, you can easily calculate how much that would be.

It is the famous "Shenzhen Development Bank" stock code 000001.

There are many stories about this stock. In the beginning, it was not popular, so the government had no choice but to forcibly allocate shares to various units.

A company was assigned a task of 10,000 shares, each with a face value of 20 yuan. The person in charge of the company used all his means to forcibly assign a portion to the company's employees, which caused a lot of complaints in the company.

Finally, there was still 120,000 yuan worth of stocks that couldn't be resolved, so the leader simply borrowed from all his relatives and friends to buy all the stocks worth 120,000 yuan.

Six months later, the stock went public and was ex-rights, becoming one yuan per share. That is, the original twenty yuan per share became twenty shares, and his six thousand shares became one hundred and twenty thousand shares.

What's even more unbelievable is that less than a week after the ex-rights date, the stock price rose to 20 yuan per share, making him a fortune.

He immediately sold some of the shares to pay off his debts, and held onto the rest. Later, he resigned and went into business. Years later, he revealed that this stock had earned him a total of over ten million yuan.

Huang Xiaochuan had made up his mind. After he sold the stamps next year, he would go to Shenzhen to meet with "Shenzhen Development Bank" and try to buy more to keep on hand, even if the annual dividends would be a considerable income.

Ding Yi wasn't paying attention in class either; he was scribbling and drawing in his notebook, doing who-knows-what.

After Huang Xiaochuan finished thinking about what was going on, he noticed that Ding Yixing was acting suspiciously, so he leaned over and took a peek.

Good heavens! This kid is actually drawing a cartoon of Professor Zong during class, and I must say it's pretty lifelike, though the image is a bit exaggerated.

If the old man sees this, he might get so angry that his blood pressure will rise to 200, and Ding Yi's grade in this course will definitely be ruined.

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan had discovered his prank, Ding Yi grinned and chuckled at Huang Xiaochuan.

He whispered boastfully, "How about it? Pretty good, right?"

Huang Xiaochuan gave a thumbs up: "Be more confident, remove the 'ba'."

"But, how can an old man have that much hair? And you gave him this hairstyle?" Huang Xiaochuan looked at the old professor who was reciting from the book and had not a single hair on his head, so he offered a suggestion.

Ding Yi said smugly, "This is artistic embellishment; you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan exclaimed, "I don't understand? Fine! I'll ask the old professor if he understands!"

Huang Xiaochuan pretended to raise his hand to speak, which terrified Ding Yi.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"I'd like to ask Professor Zong to take a look at this painting and see what he has to say!"

Ding Yi ripped the page off with lightning speed, crumpled it up, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and actually swallowed it.

This incredible move stunned Huang Xiaochuan. He gaped, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "This guy's got guts! You have to admire him!"
