Chapter 225: Hope Primary School
Chapter 225: Hope Primary School
Throughout March, the group of 222 members successively acquired the five newly listed stocks they had won in the lottery. Soon after, these five stocks began to be listed and sold on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and rumors began to circulate.
It is said that there are several young people who hold tens of thousands of subscription certificates.
At first, no one believed the rumor, but it gradually became so convincing that people couldn't help but believe it.
If the news is true, that would be incredible!
It's important to know that the price of a subscription certificate has now been inflated to 1,800 yuan, and even at that price, it's difficult to find one now. Those who hold subscription certificates now are shrewd people, while the fools sold their subscription certificates when the price had increased four, five, or even six times. Those who were slightly smarter also sold their certificates when the price had increased more than ten times.
The remaining people, having already seen through the situation, held on tightly and refused to sell! Those who had sold their subscription certificates early on all regretted it!
Especially those kids who secretly took the subscription certificates from home to sell and buy fireworks got another beating. And as time goes on, the price of the subscription certificates continues to skyrocket, so they'll have to endure a few more beatings. Otherwise, these spendthrift brats won't learn their lesson! The parents aren't satisfied!
Let's return to the subscription certificates held by Huang Xiaochuan and the others. You should know that if there are 10,000 certificates, and each certificate is worth 1,800 yuan, that's 18 million yuan!
Ding Yi is always grinning from ear to ear. He acts nonchalant in public, but once he gets back to the dorm, nobody can go crazy like him! It's understandable, considering he's only twenty years old and already a genuine multi-millionaire.
This doesn't even include the gains from the appreciation of newly purchased shares. Not only Ding Yi, but Wu Duo and the others also check the Securities Times every day to estimate how much they've earned each day. However, they can only secretly rejoice in their dormitory, since none of them dare to reveal this to anyone else.
Outside the school, those who heard about this were filled with envy, jealousy, and longing; some were already inquiring about the identities of the young men.
This rumor naturally reached Zhang Yun's ears as well. After all, because she often had to queue up to buy the stocks she had won in the lottery, she naturally heard a lot of rumors.
Although the versions are different, the focus is on the fact that a few young people own tens of thousands of subscription certificates.
To be honest, although Zhang Yun has lived abroad for a long time and has naturally learned the ways of the world, she values individuality, acts impulsively, and says things that are hard for people to accept, but her true nature is still kind.
Upon hearing the rumor, she immediately thought of Huang Xiaochuan and the others. If the rumor was true, she couldn't help but worry about them.
For this reason, she even asked a student to call Huang Xiaochuan to her office.
Huang Xiaochuan knocked on the open office door and asked, "Teacher Zhang, is there something you need?"
When Zhang Yun saw Huang Xiaochuan and noticed there were other teachers in the office, she stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I need to talk to you."
Zhang Yun led Huang Xiaochuan a short distance away from the office before speaking to him.
"Huang Xiaochuan! Don't go out of the school gate alone recently. If you need to go out, try to have several people accompany you."
Huang Xiaochuan immediately understood why Zhang Yun said that. Ever since he went to the stock exchange with his subscription certificate to buy new shares, he knew it was only a matter of time, and it seemed that the news had already reached the ears of this female teacher.
Huang Xiaochuan pretended not to understand what Zhang Yun meant: "Teacher Zhang, why can't I go out alone?"
"Everyone outside is saying that you guys have tens of thousands of subscription certificates, and a lot of people are eyeing them and asking around about you. That's why I told you guys not to leave the school alone. Don't take this lightly."
Huang Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, thank you! We will be careful."
"Here's a phone number for you. Call me if anything happens." Zhang Yun took out a pen, wrote a number in her notebook, and then handed the page to Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Xiaochuan took it and glanced at it. It was a mobile phone number. How strange! He'd never seen her use it before. Besides, if something really happened, what good would it do to call a university professor like you?
However, Huang Xiaochuan still expressed his gratitude: "Okay! I understand, thank you, Teacher Zhang!"
After lunch, Huang Xiaochuan told Ding Yi about the rumors.
"Before dinner, Teacher Zhang called me over and told me something. She had heard rumors that we had tens of thousands of subscription certificates. She was quite worried about us and specifically told us not to leave the school gate alone. If we had to go out, we should go together."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep"
Ding Yi's pager suddenly went off. He took it out, glanced at it, and then pulled out a mobile phone from his backpack and dialed a number.
"Uncle!"
""
"I'm at school!"
""
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs at the dorm!"
After hanging up the phone, Ding Yi said to Huang Xiaochuan, "See, the news travels fast, doesn't it? My uncle knows too, and he'll be coming to the school to see me later."
More than ten minutes later, a white Santana stopped downstairs in front of the dormitory building. After Ding Yi got in, the car drove away!
After Ding Yi got in the car, he sat next to his uncle, Ding Jianguo. Upon seeing Ding Yi, Ding Jianguo laughed and said, "You're quite something, kid! You've quietly put a big surprise on our family!"
"What big deal? I just bought some subscription certificates! Is it really necessary for you to come all the way to me?"
"Hmph, you think I'm looking for you? Your dad knows too, he sent me to pick you up."
Ding Yi tensed up slightly: "My dad knows too?"
Seeing his nephew's nervous expression, Ding Jianguo laughed: "Don't worry! With me here, your dad won't do anything to you."
Ding Yi muttered, "I hope so!"
Twenty minutes later, Ding Yi returned home, where his father, Ding Jiancheng, whom he usually only saw on television, was sitting on the sofa talking to Ding Yi's mother.
Upon seeing Ding Yi return, both of their eyes focused on him.
Ding's mother stood up with delight to greet Ding Yi, taking his hands in hers and asking, "Your dad said you made a lot of money? Is that true?"
Ding Yi didn't answer, but turned his body to look at Ding Jiancheng. Seeing that his father seemed normal, he then answered Ding's mother's question.
"I did make some money, but it's all currently in the stock market."
At this moment, Ding Jiancheng spoke up: "Are you two just going to stand there and talk? Sit down! Jianguo, you sit down too!"
"Why!"
Ding's mother took Ding Yi's hand and made him sit down with her.
"Come on! Mr. Ding, Boss Ding! Tell us about your rise to wealth!" It was rare for Ding Jiancheng to speak to Ding Yi in such a joking tone.
Ding Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, it was all earned honestly and fairly. I didn't steal, rob, or take advantage of anyone. So just say it!
Ding Yi started by talking about how he made his first fortune by speculating on stamps, then moved on to stock speculation, then to buying subscription certificates, and that's how he ended up where he is now!
However, Ding Yi emphasized, "When I bought the subscription certificates, nobody wanted them. I did it to support my uncle's work. Back then, I had no idea they would rise to this level. If things hadn't gone well, I might have lost all my initial profits on those certificates. But thankfully, I made a profit. I estimate my stocks and subscription certificates are worth about 30 million!"
Hearing it from others is a completely different feeling than hearing it from your own son. Ding's mother held her son's hand tightly, reluctant to let go.
Ding Jiancheng was filled with mixed emotions. This kid was incredibly capable. He rarely had time to keep an eye on him because of work, and he was always worried that the kid would go astray. But he had given him such a big surprise.
Now many of his colleagues know that he has an amazing son who has earned a fortune that others can only dream of at a young age. The Party Secretary even joked that the Ding family has produced a financier.
However, he still asked, "Didn't you get any inside information from your uncle beforehand?"
Before Ding Yi could even speak, Ding Jianguo objected.
"Brother, I don't like hearing you say that. What inside information could I possibly have for him? Back then, we could only sell a few subscription certificates by allocating them. Although everyone rushed to buy them in the last few days, Ding Yi's settlement statement for the subscription certificates was dated January 20th. At that time, nobody wanted the subscription certificates."
With Ding Jianguo's endorsement, Ding Jiancheng was finally able to relax completely. However, the fact that this kid had made so much money naturally made Ding Jiancheng frown.
Looking at his father's expression, Ding Yi thought of what Huang Xiaochuan had told him.
"Now that I have money, I should give back to society. I plan to donate several Hope Primary Schools and provide the children in these schools with a free lunch. You see on TV how difficult it is for children in the mountains to get to school. Eating lunch at school can increase their nutrition and save them from walking so far."
Thinking of this, Ding Yi said, "Dad! I have indeed made a lot of money, but I don't plan to squander it. My classmates and I have already discussed it. Once we have the money, we will donate to several Hope Primary Schools in the southwestern mountainous areas, and we will also provide the children with a free lunch. We will pay for all of this."
Ding Jiancheng nodded, feeling extremely satisfied with his son's idea!
He then asked, "Is your classmate named Huang Xiaochuan?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi exclaimed, "Oh! So you all knew already?"
However, Ding Yi nodded: "Yes, it's him! He was the one who suggested speculating on stamps, and he was also the main author of that paper on the tax-sharing system. He also came up with ideas to solve the problem of work-study programs for impoverished students in our school and surrounding schools."
However, Ding Yi nodded: "Yes, it's him! He was the one who suggested speculating on stamps, and he was also the main author of that paper on the tax-sharing system. He also came up with ideas to solve the problem of work-study programs for impoverished students in our school and surrounding schools."
Ding Jiancheng extended an invitation: "Please invite him to your home for a meal sometime! I've heard about him; he's a good guy. You're lucky to have such a good classmate!"
Ding Yi smiled and agreed, "No problem!"
