Yu Zhou himself didn't have much recollection of the value of subscription certificates in this era.
He only knew that these things would grow exponentially, and later on, it wouldn't be difficult to earn tens of thousands or even more from a set.
But if he had to specify exactly how much it would eventually earn, or its current value, he truly couldn't remember.
Was the price of eighteen thousand not the bottom price? Was he being misled?
Alright, even if he tried his best to overestimate the price of these things, Yu Zhou at this moment still underestimated the madness of subscription certificates.
"Oh dear! I'm really sorry, subscription certificates have been rising so rapidly these past few days that I mistakenly remembered yesterday's price as today's."
The man said with a sheepish grin.
Heh, it would be strange if that were the case.
Anyone who could enter this exchange, if not all of them were major players, could they really be fools?
However, if someone else said this, it might arouse suspicion from Yu Zhou and his plan. But when this fellow dressed like a nouveau riche said it, they actually found it very plausible.
So much so that even Yu Zhou started to feel a sense of similarity between himself and Wu Dabiao.
Well, both of them were rather simple and honest, and not annoying.
"Thirty-five thousand, how about thirty-five thousand? I'll take as much as you have."
"I'll take single sheets too, three hundred yuan each."
The 'nouveau riche' indicated that this was the limit price he could offer. Whether it worked or not, he had to try, as that's what businessmen do.
And as soon as these words were spoken, it was Yu Zhou's turn to be speechless.
Good heavens, the price per set had jumped by twenty thousand yuan in an instant. Were the market prices for subscription certificates really this outrageous now?
For a moment, Yu Zhou couldn't help but feel a bit tempted.
After all, subscription certificates that cost three thousand yuan per set had now increased by more than tenfold in less than ten days.
If the ten sets of subscription certificates he held were truly sold, wouldn't that mean thirty-five thousand would be directly in his hands?
Thinking of such a result, even though Yu Zhou was a transmigrator and had been quite wealthy in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at this moment.
Thirty-five thousand in the early nineties, how much could that accomplish?
If he calculated carefully, it wouldn't even be difficult to return to Jiangbei and buy a restructured factory.
Of course, he couldn't buy a large state-owned factory like Textile Factory No. 2, but a small factory with a few hundred people, thirty-five thousand would definitely be enough to buy it.
Moreover, it wasn't as if buying restructured factories was the only option now; he could also contract them. With this money, it would be more than enough.
Yu Zhou, with his eyes darting around, seemed to be truly weighing the pros and cons.
However, after about ten seconds, he still shook his head and refused. "I currently have no plans to sell the subscription certificates I hold, so I apologize."
Yu Zhou had carefully considered his options.
In fact, given his current situation, getting the money would be the best choice.
After all, it wasn't just the money from the subscription certificates; there was also the commission from acting as an intermediary.
Yu Zhou didn't know the exact amount of this commission yet, but he estimated it wouldn't be less than one hundred thousand yuan.
With over four hundred thousand yuan, he could do almost any business he wanted upon returning to Jiangbei. Rather than waiting here for several lottery draws and then selling, selling now wouldn't be inefficient for him.
However, he still refused.
Because at present, he felt that holding so much cash was also a waste.
After all, he didn't have many connections to engage in big business. Even if he had a partner like Song Qing in Jiangbei, before their relationship reached that level, he wouldn't be able to resolve those matters.
Four hundred thousand yuan could buy a factory, but was a factory something he could actually buy?
Clearly, many people were eyeing the lucrative opportunity of restructuring. Why would it be given to him?
Did he have a powerful background, or internal channels?
Without any of those, holding so much cash in this era wasn't necessarily a good thing.
It would be better to proceed steadily and earn even more from subscription certificates.
"This price has reached its peak, and you're still not selling?"
"Is there a reason? I'd like to hear it?"
It was evident that the boss, dressed like a nouveau riche, was still somewhat unwilling. After all, there weren't many small retail investors left these days.
Being able to fleece one wool is still wool, right?
Furthermore, in his opinion, Yu Zhou must have quite a few subscription certificates.
"Because I think, after the first lottery draw, this thing might rise even further..."
Yu Zhou said with a smile.
"What?"
The 'nouveau riche' immediately became restless.
Even he thought that after the first lottery draw, this thing might rise, but that would be the only chance.
After all, the total number of subscription certificates issued now was limited, and whoever won the lottery would make a huge profit.
But the proportion of this item is something no one knows.
If it could be profitable the first time, it would tend to stabilize later.
But in Yu Zhou's words, it seemed to have become different, as if the price could keep rising.
"Buddy, I haven't even had a chance to introduce myself."
"My name is Chen Aiguo, from Xishan. This is my first time encountering anything related to stocks."
"Looking at you, you must be an old hand who has been immersed in these emerging things for a long time. Could you offer some guidance?"
In an instant, the 'nouveau riche's' demeanor changed.
This fellow, cultivating some terrifying thick skin from who knows where, could change his face as he pleased.
What's more, no matter what he said, there was no discernible emotion on his face.
It was as if he could transform into any kind of person without any pressure, as long as it was needed.
Honestly, even Yu Zhou had to take such a person seriously.
Because in his view, once a person with such traits engaged in business, even if they didn't soar to the skies, they would definitely not face the possibility of one failure leading to utter ruin.
With such thick skin and composure, he was destined to be no ordinary person.
"Xishan?"
Yu Zhou, holding the business card, looked at it and fell into silence.
There were many wealthy people in this area, and of course, the waters were also deeper.
Just by looking at the company name on the business card, he understood what the other party did.
Chairman of Jinnan Energy Company.
In plain terms, he was a coal boss. He hadn't expected that in the circle of Wanghai subscription certificates, these people with terrifying identities had also entered the fray.
After all, in his past life, Yu Zhou had heard about the glorious deeds of these bosses.
The money they made came too easily, and they didn't treat money as money at all...
