439 【Stock Market Storm】
December 26, 1991.
In Hong Kong, the winter morning is a bit cold.
Several mountaineering people, carrying bags, were preparing to climb to the top of Taiping Mountain to watch the sunrise early in the morning. For them, this day was the beginning of chasing hope and dreams.
On the Hong Kong Bridge, some running people ran hard on the bridge in the morning light. For them, this day was very ordinary, and they were just doing warm-up exercises before work.
Last night, the sleepers who were rescued from the bridge cave were also awakened by the cold in the morning. They curled up their bodies, sorted out the newspapers covered by themselves, and tried to forget about the hunger and coldness. For them, this day was just a repetitive meaningless day, and only falling asleep was the real safe haven.
A yellow bumblebee school bus was parked on the side of the road, and the mothers held the baby's hand and escorted them to school. For these mothers, this was just a boring Friday, sending their children to school and doing housework home. If you want to talk about changes, it was just a little closer to the weekend.
...
In the morning, the vegetable market in Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong was very lively.
Sales Fish Strong is the famous "coulis" in this area.
According to people, this guy never enjoyed a blessing in his life. When he was a child, he was abandoned by his father. His mother led him up. At the age of seven or eight, he started picking up leftover vegetables in the vegetable market and cooking leaves. He was older and was bullied by others when he went to school. So he ran to the vegetable market to see others kill and sell fish. After watching for a long time, the boss asked him to help take care of the stall, but he went to the Crime Restaurant to play mahjong.
Sales Yuqiang has been working for the fish stall owners for ten years from the age of fourteen to twenty-four. He has worked more and more, but his salary has not increased much.
Later, when Maiyuqiang talked to the boss about the salary increase, he found that the boss ran away because he owed money when playing mahjong. The debt collector came up and scared him away. The boss's house was only one daughter left. The little girl was eighteen or nineteen years old and had some intelligence problems. She cried when the debt collector was scared. Maiyuqiang couldn't stand it, so he used his ten years of savings to pay the debt down.
Later, Shuiyuqiang took over the fish stall, and changed from a worker to a boss, married that silly girl and gave birth to twin sons. Shuiyuqiang was very content. He didn't smoke or drink, and basically had no bad hobby. But not long ago, he was deceived by his friend to invest in futures.
He doesn't understand futures and stocks. Although many people like to talk about these in the entire vegetable market, Sai Yuqiang never thinks that stocks are fun. It's not the money you earned by yourself, and always feels uneasy.
However, the friend was very good at fooling around, so Shuiyuqiang secretly bought some stocks, which were said to be shorting some futures in the Soviet Union - but soon, his stocks were trapped. Seeing this, the friend disappeared. Shuiyuqiang couldn't bear to lose his blood and sweat, so he kept replenishing his positions and trying to escape from the stock market.
But the stock market is a huge crocodile pool. If you fall in, don’t be left with bones left, don’t try to run out.
Mai Yuqiang's entire family was invested. Last night, he was drunk and looked at his sleeping wife and two cute twin sons. At that moment, Mai Yuqiang even had the urge to die with his family.
No one knows that in order to replenish his position, he borrowed the most vicious and vicious usury loan money from Tsim Sha Tsui. If he did not pay back the money in three days, the other party would pour paint and burn the house... People who were forced to death by usury were written in Hong Kong newspapers every day, which was very miserable.
So, Shuiyuqiang sealed the room and prepared to commit suicide by burning charcoal while his wife and son were sleeping.
When he just lit the carbon stove, his youngest son woke up, with his eyes, bare butt, and thrust his little belly. He grabbed the little Que Bi below with one hand and said to him: "Dad, I want to pee."
At that moment, Saoyu was softened.
He cried and cried loudly.
I feel useless.
Unexpectedly, I despise someone like my father-in-law the most, but in the end I became that person.
He felt that his family would be destroyed.
There is not much time, just these few days.
This morning, the fish soldier who had not died for a night last night started to set up a stall again. He took out the dead fish that had died of oxygen and floated in the fish basin with his hands, and felt that these fish were dead with no eyes closed, which looked very similar to himself. In the past, in order to save money, he would leave these dead fish for his family to eat, but now, he threw them out without hesitation and threw them into the garbage dump.
"What's wrong? It's so generous today, I don't even want dead fish?" The pork guy selling vegetables next to him laughed at him.
Saiyuqiang didn't answer, but just took a steel brush and cleaned the fresh fish that customers wanted to buy, and the scales were flying.
The pork guy felt bored, so he shut up and sat in front of the stall, thinking that the stock he bought recently would probably rise sharply, so he proudly crossed his legs, and did not take off his greasy apron, and picked up the newspaper he ordered and read it.
"Wow, something big happened!" The pork guy jumped up like a needle on his butt, then stared at the newspaper with his eyes straight at the newspaper, and his hands were shaking. In a moment, he began to foam at the mouth and said, "This is not true!" Then he fainted on the ground with a whistle.
The pork guy frightened the people around him so much that no one knew what had happened.
"Pinch the man! Pinch the man quickly!" Someone ran over and helped the pork man up and shouted.
Shuiyuqiang also ran over to help, but what he was even more curious about was why the pork guy fainted after reading the newspaper, so Shuiyuqiang picked up the newspaper curiously.
It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he immediately—
"Ah, how is it possible? I am developed! I am developed!" Sui Yuqiang suddenly looked like crazy, crying and shouting, waving the newspaper, jumping and jumping like waving some flag.
Looking at the sudden ejaculation of Saiyuqiang, everyone was stunned. Look at me, I look at you, I don’t understand what happened.
...
Like a virus—
People who suddenly go crazy like fish sold in the vegetable market are suddenly infected with the whole of Hong Kong.
Streets of Mong Kok, Hong Kong—
A white-collar worker who was about to check in at work was originally frowning and haggard, but after reading the newspaper, he suddenly shouted excitedly, threw away the briefcase he was carrying, and shouted: "Fuck you a fucking worker, I have to be a rich man too!"
In the underground casino in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong—
A young and dandy, who was holding a cigarette roll in his mouth and looked like a squirting air, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and suddenly picked up the eldest horse next to him and turned around two circles on the spot.
The boss was stunned. A few younger brothers went up and beat the young and dandy, "Let go! Let go of your sister-in-law quickly! Grass, you want to hook your sister-in-law!"
The young and dandy seemed to be unable to feel any pain, but instead kissed her sister-in-law twice in the face, then shouted: "I'm well developed! Haha!"
The virus is still spreading, especially the news in the newspaper, which has caused countless people who wanted to commit suicide to become crazy.
It also made countless crazy people who were excited before and began to want to commit suicide.
