Chapter 57: Inside Information
Zhang Jiaqiang turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yao who was dressed charmingly.
What does this woman want to do? Is she planning to use a beauty trap?
I have a lovely wife at home, can I let her do tricks?
Zhang Jiaqiang planned to see what tricks she had up his sleeve, so he smiled calmly and said, "I just happened to be going to check out my phone, let's go together!"
Xiaoyao's face was full of joy, "Okay, I know which store sells it well, let's go shopping on Shunjing Street!"
As she said this, she reached out to take Zhang Jiaqiang's arm, but he dodged it without leaving a trace.
“It’s too hot, it’s better to keep some distance!”
"Brother Zhang, you are so low-key. You are so rich and you drive such a shabby car. Are you afraid that someone will kidnap you if you reveal your wealth?"
As soon as we got in the van, Xiao Yao started talking nonstop.
Through her introduction along the way, Zhang Jiaqiang finally knew the real names of several people in the big family room.
Xiao Yao’s real name is Chen Xiaoman, the man with glasses is Li Liming, the boss Qian’s name is Qian Guangzheng, the remaining rich man is named Gao Pei, and the rich woman is named Wang Hongyu.
Originally, the big room was overcrowded, but after the bear market, only the five of them were still at their posts, and the others had long since disappeared.
This situation is normal. Every wave of market conditions can create many millionaires, and every bear market can also make many millionaires return to their original form or even go bankrupt.
Zhang Jiaqiang always felt that it was not like Xiao Yao was speculating in stocks by herself, but that there was a financial backer behind her, and she was just in charge of trading.
But he didn't ask this question. It shouldn't take long for this woman to tell the truth.
Shunjing Street is one of the two earliest pedestrian streets in Luonan City. Most of the shops along the street sell electrical products and communication equipment.
The two places were not far apart, and soon the car stopped on the side of the road.
Zhang Jiaqiang and Xiao Yao got out of the car one after another and started walking along this street of less than one kilometer.
Xiaoyao always stayed very close to him, and would rub his chest twice on his shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.
This made Zhang Jiaqiang extremely embarrassed. He actually didn't want to buy a mobile phone today, but in the name of shopping, he wanted to find out the real purpose of Xiaoyao and the others.
I only looked at mobile phones to check the market situation in advance, so I turned around and walked into a mobile phone store. After walking around for a long time, I found that most of them were half-brick simulators - Motorola 8800 and 8900.
This kind of mobile phone has only one function, making and receiving calls.
In the era before Zhang Jiaqiang was reborn, a mobile phone could do almost anything, including transfers, payments, socializing, communication, and entertainment. By the 1990s, it was really awkward.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a place that sells digital mobile phones, such as Motorola gc87c, Ericsson, and Nokia c8100. When I asked about the price, it was astonishing. It started at least 10,000 yuan.
This damn machine is more expensive than the latest kidney machine, costing more than 10,000 yuan, which is three years’ salary for ordinary people, and it’s still bare metal.
Nowadays, there are no mobile phone or Unicom stores all over the road. Instead, those who sell mobile phones only sell mobile phones. If you want to access the network, you have to go to the sales department of the communication company to apply for a mobile phone card, network access license, and private radio station license from the Radio Regulatory Commission. It is very troublesome.
It's fatal.
Including these expenses, a mobile phone costs at least nearly 20,000 yuan. Zhang Jiaqiang secretly shook his head, it was too expensive, and he really couldn't afford it with the current money on hand.
At this moment, Xiao Yao said, "It's really expensive. Brother Zhang, I'll take you to a place where there are definitely bargains!"
These days, mobile phones are so expensive, even if they are cheap, they are not much cheaper.
Zhang Jiaqiang asked, "Do you have any acquaintances?"
Xiao Yao pointed to a commercial building in the distance and said, "Limited goods are not suitable, you can go check out parallel imports!"
The so-called parallel imports are those whose origins are somewhat questionable, and the price is indeed half cheaper than genuine products.
However, this kind of thing is strictly inspected, and few dare to sell it openly.
After taking a closer look at the name of the commercial building, Zhang Jiaqiang immediately understood.
This is the property of a certain legendary figure, no wonder he dares to sell parallel imports.
In the 1990s, almost every city had this kind of legendary figure who stomped his feet and made the whole city tremble.
However, their endings are self-evident later.
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't want to get into trouble just for a few thousand yuan, so he walked out of the door immediately and said.
"I think it's better to forget it. It's not like I can't live without a mobile phone. It's a hot day. Find a place and I'll treat you to a cold drink!"
"Cold drinks are so boring, let's drink draft beer!" Xiaoyao said cooingly, and even ran over to give him a wink.
Zhang Jiaqiang knew well that he would never have sex after drinking. He pointed to the moat not far away and said, "There are many beer houses along the river, how about it!"
There are two moats in the old town of Luonan. The inner moat was converted into a city-ring park in the 1980s.
You can row boats in the river, and the green willows on the shore are very cool. There are many cold drink stalls and beer houses here, and business is extremely hot every summer.
A few close friends enjoying the shade and drinking, looking at the green trees and the ancient city wall in the distance, this can be considered a feature of the 1990s.
Unfortunately, a square was built on the other side of the river, and all these stalls were banned, leaving only a few high-end bars.
The two of them strolled leisurely, walked through the intersection, and followed the ramp and steps down to the riverside.
A moat like a jasper belt appears among the whirling green willows.
Several curved stone arch bridges connect the two sides of the bank, with greenery everywhere and a cool breeze blowing on your face. If a drizzle comes at this moment, it will definitely beat the Jiangnan water town.
The two of them found a relatively deserted beer house next to the river and sat down.
This kind of beer house mainly sells beer and does not sell stir-fry or pasta. The only food and wine provided are peanuts, edamame, small fish, snails and other small things.
Xiao Yao casually ordered some snacks to go with the wine, and also ordered two large quantities of local No. 1 Spring beer.
As soon as the beer was served on the table, she picked up a glass first and touched it with Zhang Jiaqiang.
"Brother Zhang, we don't have any outsiders, so I'll do it first out of respect!"
Before she finished speaking, the woman raised her neck and drank a liter of beer.
He put down the cup and looked at Zhang Jiaqiang calmly, as if provoking.
You can't show weakness at this time. Zhang Jiaqiang's drinking capacity is not bad, so he immediately drank a toast.
Xiaoyao waved and asked for two more sticks. Just as she was holding the cup, Zhang Jiaqiang held her hand and said in a deep voice.
"If I drink too much, I can forget everything, so don't try to get me drunk. It's best to talk about anything now!"
Xiaoyao smiled charmingly and raised his hand to gently touch the waves beside his ears.
"Brother Zhang hasn't had two drinks yet, are you afraid of getting drunk? Your drinking capacity is too small!"
Zhang Jiaqiang played with the lighter on the table and chuckled, "It has nothing to do with the amount of alcohol I drink. I'm just worried that my wife and children will be anxious at home if I drink too much!"
Xiaoyao didn't expect that Zhang Jiaqiang already had a wife and children, so his expression changed instantly and then returned to normal.
"You are so young and have a child. Why are you in such a hurry? How about enjoying your youth and freedom more like me?"
Zhang Jiaqiang said with a smile, "I'm actually newly married, less than a month old!"
Xiao Yao was surprised and asked, "You just got married and have a child?"
Zhang Jiaqiang casually said that something happened to his friend and entrusted him to raise the child. He treated the child as his own and never saw him outside.
Xiaoyao suddenly realized, "It seems that Brother Zhang is a real man who values love and justice. There are fewer and fewer people like you. It's a pity that I didn't know you for a few years earlier!"
As she spoke, she looked a little sad, and her tone also had a hint of "I wish we could meet each other before we were married".
Zhang Jiaqiang is absolutely immune to this kind of behavior of handing out good guy cards and said immediately.
"Don't go too far. I found that you and the four of them are not the same group. If you meet me alone today, you must have something to say. Let's go straight to the alley to drive pigs!"
Xiaoyao raised his glass again, "Come and have one first, and I'll talk later!"
When the two put down their empty wine glasses, she said calmly.
"Yan Yan and Qian Lao are considered to be members of the banker. Qian Lao helps the banker promote stocks, and Yan Yan pulls people to join the market. There are also financial backers behind the other two people. Originally, everyone was on the same page, but the market has not been good this year, and the banker has done nothing.
, they plan to become their own banker and jointly speculate on a small stock!"
"It's a pity that they have too little funds in their hands, so they are so eager to bring you in. But I would like to advise you, be careful not to be trapped by them as a takeover!"
Zhang Jiaqiang had noticed this a long time ago, but deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then asked, "What about you, are you also joining the gang?"
Xiao Yao picked up the wine glass that had just been filled and chuckled.
