Director Dai gave Zhou Yun a message and asked Zhou Yun to find Gao Zongwu. Zhou Yun copied the message and finally memorized it and burned it.

Zhou Yun is the deputy director of the Secret Service. It is easy for some outsiders in Shanghai, especially famous people, to understand their situation. Soon, Zhou Yun found the addresses of Gao Tao and his two people, and their good habits.

Tao Xisheng rarely goes out and spends all day reading books and writing at home. However, Gao Zongwu is different, he likes to go out. And the place he goes is the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

According to later generations, he was a stock investor.

During the Republic of China, there was also a market for securities trading in Shanghai. After 1912, the number of Chinese-owned organization joint-stock companies gradually increased, and stock circulation became wider. Therefore, Shanghai spontaneously formed a stock trading market with teahouses as daily contact points.

In 1914, Shanghai Twelve Co., Ltd. established the Shanghai Stock Commercial Association on Jiujiang Road, and traded government bonds, railway bonds, company stocks, foreign currencies, etc. through mutual practice.

In February 1919, the association's member meeting decided to reorganize it into the Shanghai Huashang Stock Exchange. It was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce to start business in May 1920 with a capital of 3 million yuan and 55 brokers, mainly operating government bonds.

At the beginning of its opening, it encountered the influence of the exchange trend and civil war, and was almost at risk. In 1927, after the establishment of the Nanjing National Government, it used the issuance of bonds to make up for the fiscal deficit, so the bond market transactions became active. In May 1933, all bond markets in Shanghai were unified under the securities part of the securities exchange. Since then, the transaction amount has increased day by day, especially the government bond transactions are very active, so it is known as the government bond market.

The next day, Zhou Yun disguised himself and came to the Shanghai Huashang Stock Exchange. After he arrived, he saw the listing on the market. Zhou Yun said to Xiaofen: "Xiaofen, check the later trends and results of the exchange's stocks."

The small fraction was reported soon: "Huazheng's stock is now 11 yuan and 50 cents, but at 11:30 noon today, it will break through to 15 yuan and 5 yuan. Tomorrow, it will break through to 22 yuan, and the day after tomorrow, it will break through to 30 yuan."

When Zhou Yun heard this, he became interested. In his previous life, he was also a stock investor, and he had also rushed in and out of the stock market. After traveling through time, he seemed to have forgotten this.

If you want to make money, it is time to make money in this regard.

In China Securities, buying and selling is very simple. You spend money to buy stocks, and then sell them to recover the money after making money. This is called long. Otherwise, it is called short.

"Long" and "short" are special terms in securities and commodity trading. If you estimate that a certain commodity or securities have great prospects in advance, you should buy in large quantities first and sell out when the price rises to obtain the difference and make a profit. This kind of buying is called "long".

Sell ​​a certain commodity or securities in advance and wait until the price falls before "buy back" or "replenish" in order to make a profit. This kind of selling is called "short selling".

In the trading market, "long" and "short" are like opponents, often fighting to the death.

Since the establishment of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, its internal cotton yarn, cotton, securities and other departments have been operating, and are very developed... The commission earned by the institute is more than 3,300 yuan per day. As a result, the stock price of the exchange has increased, and there are many famous politicians in Beijing and Tianjin.

Just as Zhou Yun was sitting on the chair, he heard the people around him gossiping.

I heard that a famous person who returned to China and retired asked his agent to buy 10,000 shares of Huazheng's stock, which made Huazheng's stock popular.

In addition to the returnee, Sun Tian, ​​a distant relative of the mayor of Shanghai, also entered the stock market. Sun Tian successively collected the stocks with a face value of 7 yuan and 50 cents on the Securities and Exchange at a price of 8 yuan per share. When each share rose to 10 yuan, he sold all of them, and really made a profit. Sun Tian easily made a small fortune when he was long, which made some people who were familiar with the inside story very jealous. Zhao Lin, one of the directors of the Securities and Exchange at the Securities and Exchange, also followed Sun Tian's footsteps and made a profit twice. At this time, the price of the stocks had risen to 11 yuan and 50 cents per share.

After listening for a while, Zhou Yun felt that it was time to take action.

He came to the trading desk, took out the promissory note of 5,000 oceans, and opened an account. It was very simple to open an account here. Without the identity certificate, Zhou Yun reported a name and opened an account. Then, he got a document with the words "450 shares of Huazheng Stock".

Each share is 11 yuan and 50 cents, and 450 shares, which is 5,175 yuan. Zhou Yun’s promissory note is not enough, so he paid another 175 yuan.

When Zhou Yun bought stocks, he attracted several people. They saw Zhou Yun buying more than 400 stocks and were all shaking their heads.

One person said, "Young man, you will lose a lot of money."

Zhou Yun asked: "Why?"

"Huazheng has risen from seven yuan to 11 yuan and 50 cents now, and the increase has exceeded 50%, reaching its peak."

Zhou Yun took out a cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile: "In the stock market, never say the most. Never say the bottom."

The man thought for a while: "Which master said this?"

Zhou Yun said: "Master Zhou!"

Master Zhou, those people are thinking about which Master Zhou.

At this time, Zhou Yun saw Gao Zongwu coming and he was also placing an order. His idea was the same as those people, thinking that the stock market would definitely fall later when it reached its peak.

When Gao Zongwu placed an order, Zhou Yun said: "If you don't want to lose 20%, don't sell it and short it."

Gao Zongwu looked at Zhou Yun, his mouth raised, as if saying: I eat more salt than you eat!

However, Gao Zongwu was still careful. He originally planned to sell 200 shares, but in the end he changed to selling 100 shares. He still shorted.

Gao Zongwu made a deal, returned to the bench and sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it and said, "I am in this business, and I am known as Xiao Zhuge."

Zhou Yun said bluntly: "Go back to Zhuge, you will probably be a pig in five minutes."

Gao Zongwu did not care about Zhou Yun. For these young men, did he know what long means? What short means? They definitely don’t understand! They still cut the pig ball? The same thing to cut your ball.

A cigarette was smoking, and the hall of the exchange suddenly became noisy.

"Why is it still rising? It's over! What I'm doing is empty!"

"It's so miserable! I lost dozens of dollars this time."

Everyone looked at the blackboard, which was the price card. If someone traded, they would write it out on the blackboard card and then mark the average price at that time.

The price that I just finished was 12 yuan, up 50 cents.

Zhou Yun glanced at Gao Zongwu and said, "I advise you to close the position of the order you have in your hand as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will rise to thirteen yuan in another fifteen minutes."
