Chapter 341 [Wind Chaser 40]
After hearing the gossip from the Ministry of Finance, Aunt Zhou decided without hesitation to spend all her money to buy treasury bonds. However, her uncle advised her to stop while she was ahead and not to be too greedy and take risks. Aunt Zhou did not listen to this advice, but instead sent Awen to find Wei Ruolai, hoping to get more inside information about treasury bonds.
Ah Wen knew that this matter was of great importance and dared not delay for even a moment. So, he rushed to Wei Ruolai's home overnight and conveyed Aunt Zhou's request to him. After understanding the situation, Wei Ruolai said that the current construction treasury bonds had risen to 80 yuan, and the risk was too great. He kindly reminded Ah Wen not to borrow money to buy treasury bonds, and it was best to sell them now, because you never know when they will be taken back.
After receiving the reply, Awen immediately told Aunt Zhou the truth. Aunt Zhou was extremely excited after hearing the news. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. The next morning, she couldn't wait to go to the pawnshop owner and borrowed a loan with a high interest rate.
As soon as the construction treasury bonds were opened, their prices soared to eighty like a rocket! This amazing rise did not stop, but continued to advance, and finally settled at a jaw-dropping number of eighty-eight! Aunt Zhou, Awen and others witnessed all this, and their joy was beyond words. They laughed so hard that their mouths were almost grinning to their ears. Fortunately, they did not listen to Wei Ruolai and sell all the construction treasury bonds.
Awen was a little worried and said, "Auntie Zhou, why don't we just throw it away."
Aunt Zhou was fascinated by the immediate benefits and said, "Why sell it? When it reaches 100, I think it can go up a little more."
Awen had no choice but to continue waiting with Aunt Zhou.
However, at the same time, the bank presidents who sold the treasury bonds early were full of regret. They could not accept the fact that they had missed a good opportunity, so they went to Zhang Mingquan angrily to ask for an explanation. Facing these ill-intentioned bank presidents, Zhang Mingquan was unusually calm. He smiled and told them that they could buy back the construction treasury bonds at a price of 90. Although they were unwilling, these bank presidents had no choice but to grit their teeth and buy back the treasury bonds.
Wei Ruolai thought more and more that something was wrong. He saw that the price of construction bonds had soared far beyond his expectations. He knew that such an increase had deviated from the original intention of rebuilding Shanghai, and he could not help but feel deeply worried.
So Wei Ruolai found Shen Tunan and told him all his worries. After hearing this, Shen Tunan's face became serious. He was also worried that the situation would get out of control.
At the same time, Auntie Zhou, Jiang Huhao, Awen and others were so happy because they made a lot of money that they were grinning from ear to ear. Seeing this, the uncle beside them earnestly advised them to stop while they were ahead and not to be greedy.
However, Aunt Zhou was not willing to give up. She stared at the numbers on the screen greedily, thinking to herself: "Wait a little longer, wait until the price reaches 100 before selling it!" She even told Awen and others to keep it a secret from Wei Ruolai, fearing that he would ruin her good deeds.
After get off work, Wei Ruolai returned to the rental house and saw that everyone was there, so he asked, "Have you sold all the construction bonds? You must sell them, you can't keep them."
But everyone was persuaded by Aunt Zhou and thought that they should not sell, as the price might go up in the future. Everyone told Wei Ru that they had already sold, and only then did Wei Ru feel relieved.
The next morning, just after the sun rose, the construction bond market experienced a thrilling change. When the opening bell rang, the price of construction bonds soared like a rocket, all the way up to 100! This amazing rise left everyone dumbfounded.
At this moment, Shen Tunan anxiously called Mr. Song and asked him in a hurried tone: "Mr. Song, the situation is urgent. The price of construction treasury bonds has skyrocketed and has risen to 100. We must take action! I suggest that the construction treasury bonds held by major banks be locked and closed immediately in order to stabilize the price."
At the same time, Wen Biao also passed the important information he had monitored to Kang Shaojie as soon as possible. After receiving the information, Kang Shaojie frowned and fell into deep thought. They could make another profit before controlling the position and then sell it.
Early in the morning, Mr. Song called Shen Tunan and asked him in a hurried tone to sell all the construction treasury bonds he held.
Faced with such a sudden order, Shen Tunan felt very embarrassed, but under the pressure of Mr. Song's authority, he could only obey and do it helplessly. After all, if he went against Mr. Song's wishes, it might bring him more trouble and losses.
Originally, Shen Tunan planned to adopt a lock-up strategy from today to stabilize the market and profit from it. However, to his surprise, Mr. Song suddenly changed his mind at this critical moment, making the whole situation confusing.
As the construction treasury bonds opened, their prices plummeted like a wild horse, with no sign of stopping. Seeing the market value evaporating, Shen Tunan was anxious and hurriedly called Wei Ruo, ordering him to immediately clear out all the remaining treasury bonds in his hands.
However, panic has spread in the market, and the share price of Treasury bonds has plummeted to 40 yuan, with no signs of stopping.
Many retail investors have been lamenting and complaining about this tragic situation. Many of them may have suffered huge financial losses and their lives have been seriously affected by this accident.
Shen Tunan stood on the high building of the stock exchange, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, and a strong sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. He held the phone tightly and tried to call Mr. Song, but no one answered. At this moment, he seemed to be in a fog and could not find a way out.
On the other hand, Chiang Kai-shek issued a death order to Shen Tunan: Find out the truth about the stock price collapse! This undoubtedly put Shen Tunan under tremendous pressure. However, what made him even more helpless was that Chiang Kai-shek actually asked him to keep the matter confidential and not make it public. Faced with such a difficult situation, Shen Tunan's mood fell to the bottom.
Wei Ruolai stood in the crowd, witnessing the desperate tears and angry shouts of the stockholders. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
Watching citizens taking to the streets, holding demonstrations and demanding severe punishment for the masterminds behind the stock price manipulation, Wei Ruolai couldn't help but sigh at the complexity of the world and the unpredictable human heart.
