The Chinese stock market in late May 2007 was an unforgettable memory for many investors.
Especially on May 30th, when I woke up, I was completely confused.
The news I saw on the 29th was that there would be no increase in stamp duty. I found out early in the morning that it was announced in the early morning of the 30th.
The result that was passed on to the stock market was that on that day, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stocks fell sharply as soon as they opened.
The Shanghai Composite Index plummeted 281 points, a drop of as much as 6.5%. A total of more than 800 stocks in the two cities fell to the limit. There was a green light and few stocks turned red.
This morning, Bao Bufan looked at the green patches on the stock software, still feeling frightened.
He previously owned stocks with a market value of 700 million. If the Shanghai Stock Exchange fell by 6.5%, it would be a loss of 45.5 million.
Even if he had made a lot of money before, he couldn't bear to lose so much!
Thinking of this, he got up and called Lu Yan, who happened to have just finished class.
He went to the classroom window and answered the phone and said, "What's the matter, Brother Fan?"
"It's nothing, I just want to have a meal with you today. Thank you very much!"
Lu Yan said: "Hey, I helped you with the trading before, as I should."
Bao Bufan said: "In this matter, the profit is the profit, and the affection is the affection. I still have to say thank you. Let's call them all tonight, and let's come out and have a good drink!"
Lu Yan had no good reason to refuse, so he agreed.
In the evening, I first drove to a Chinese restaurant that Bao Bufan had booked. When I entered the private room, I found that Bao Bufan, Wang Jingchuan, Zhou Xiaoqing, and Chen Yishan were all there, and there were two more beauties I had never seen before.
After being introduced, I learned that one was Bao Bufan's girlfriend Liang Xiaohui, a government girl in her mid-twenties. Her appearance was a bit ordinary, so her family background must be excellent.
The other one is Wang Jingchuan's girlfriend Cai Weiwei, a beautiful woman with a slim figure. But judging from her tone and expression when talking to everyone, she seems to have no background.
After sitting down, Bao Bufan frequently toasted to Lu Yan without saying any words of thanks, mainly because it was difficult to keep the matter public.
Liang Xiaohui looked at him and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She knew Bao Bufan's nature. Although he looked kind, his innate arrogance was deep in his bones. It was really difficult for ordinary people to be looked down upon by Bao Bufan.
This guy named Lu Yan, except for his handsome appearance, doesn't really have anything special about him for the moment.
"Bufan, how did you and Lu Yan meet?" Liang Xiaohui asked softly with a sweet smile.
Without waiting for Bao Bufan to answer, Zhou Xiaoqing said first: "Oh, Lu Yan helped me work before, and we met by chance!"
Chen Yishan spoke freely and said with a smile: "Don't look at Xiao Lu for his young age, but he is very good at stock trading. If he hadn't reminded me, I would have lost all my pocket money this time!"
This is an era of national stock speculation. On May 28, the number of domestic securities accounts opened exceeded the 100 million mark.
Although Liang Xiaohui does not speculate in stocks, she has heard from people around her and said, "Really? Is it so powerful?"
Chen Yishan smiled: "Of course, he is a top student at Central Yang University, majoring in finance."
Liang Xiaohui said to Bao Bufan again, "By the way, didn't you do a private equity investment before? Didn't you let Xiao Lu go there to learn more about it?"
Although Bao Bufan and Liang Xiaohui are engaged, their relationship is not particularly close.
One of them is the son of a wealthy businessman, and the other is the daughter of a high-ranking official. Combining the two is more beneficial to both families.
He actually didn't plan to ask Liang Xiaohui to come over at first, but he suddenly said that he wanted to have dinner with him in the afternoon, so he had to bring him with him as a last resort.
Bao Bufan said: "Yes, I also said that talents from Xiaolu are rare. After graduation, they can come to our company!"
Zhou Xiaoqing said: "That's not possible, I've already made a reservation here!"
Although Chen Yishan acted a little wantonly, she could also see that the relationship between Bao Bufan and Liang Xiaohui didn't seem to be that good.
After all, even Wang Jingchuan knew about Lu Yan helping Bao Bufan with his private equity trading, but he didn't tell his girlfriend. There seemed to be some problems, so she didn't mention it again!
The meal lasted for a long time, and around eight o'clock, everyone moved to Block 1912. It was the same bar as last time, but in a different box.
As usual, a bunch of beer and red wine were ordered, and everyone started to change glasses and play a bragging game of dice.
Although Lu Yan's physical fitness was strong, he was still not good at listening to voices and distinguishing points. He won or lost, and he drank a little.
But fortunately, he is in good physical condition and is still very sober when others are a little drunk.
While they were playing, the door to the room opened and several people pushed in. Among them was a man wearing a casual suit and a more fashionable style.
He walked into the room and said, "Bufan, so you are here. I saw Xiaohui outside just now, and I was wondering who she was going out with!"
Bao Bufan quickly stood up, went over to shake hands with the man, and said, "Li Chong, shouldn't you be abroad now?"
The man named Li Chong sighed and said: "Hey, don't mention it. I was originally going to go out for fun, and I already bought the air tickets. But when I looked at the stock market this morning, good guy, I lost millions, and I was immediately blocked.
It’s at the bottom limit, I’m not in the mood anymore, so I go out to drink at night to relieve my boredom.”
Bao Bufan smiled and said: "In the stock market, it's normal to rise and fall. It's just a small adjustment. Maybe it will be fine after a while."
Li Chong brought four people behind him, two men and one woman. They entered the room and sat down. After greeting each other they knew each other, this person said to Bao Bufan: "By the way, I met your aunt a while ago, and she said that you
Private equity is doing well, what will happen now? Isn’t the loss too big?”
Bao Bufan forced a smile and said, "It's not bad, I threw it all away in advance!"
Li Chong was stunned when he heard this, "Ahead of time, Bufan, you have a very good reputation. Where did you get the news? I'll run to the capital if I have nothing to do, and I'll get some accurate information!"
Bao Bufan said: "I don't have any inside information. I just thought that the policy coming out this month would have no effect. The country might make big moves, so I cleared it in advance!"
Li Chong sighed: "You're the one who can do it! What a courage!"
But he said that among the people who came in, Lu Yan was not familiar with the one chatting with Bao Bufan.
There was one person who was considered an enemy, it was Cheng Yu who had tried to pursue Ruan Xiaoxiao and had a problem with Lu Yan.
This person's image in the school before was that he was considered a top rich second generation, but now he looks like he is the follower named Li Chong!
That one, of course, also saw Lu Yan!
When he saw Lu Yan, he always felt a little flustered for no reason. But before he came in today, he had drunk a lot of wine and his mind was a little numb, so he didn't worry so much.
He opened a bottle of beer and took a sip, walked to the opposite side of Lu Yan and said with a smile: "Junior Lu, we meet again!"
Lu Yan also smiled, "Long time no see, Senior Cheng!"
Cheng Yu saw Zhou Xiaoqing and Chen Yishan sitting next to Lu Yan, one on the left and the other on the right. He felt a little unhappy and said with a smile: "Hey, why didn't you see Xiaoxiao? We are separated?"
