Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 33 Speculation
A few days later, the third National Urban Games ended successfully.Guo Zizhao and the delegation returned to Rongcheng after a day and two nights train ride.

In the evening, we still had dinner at Uncle Li's house, and Guo Zizhao and his father also presented some gifts bought from Jinling.Two boxes of salted duck, two boxes of Yuhua tea, and a Yuhua stone decoration carefully selected by Guo Zizhao.This thing is not cheap, it cost Guo Zizhao hundreds of oceans.

"Well, it's not bad." Uncle Li admired it carefully while appreciating it carefully, "It's really ingenious and colorful. This Yuhua stone is also called five-color stone and Liuhe stone. It is said that it is the leftover of the five-color stone obtained by Nuwa The prototype of the famous psychic jade in Dream of Red Mansions is this Yuhua stone."

"That's right, it took me a long time to pick the one that's pleasing to the eye." Guo Zizhao said triumphantly, "It's so stylish to put this guy on your old man's desk. It looks like a man of culture, with profound knowledge. Kind of."

When Guo Zizhao flattered, he also threw away money for nothing.

"You bastard, who did you learn from this glib person?" Uncle Li said wryly.

"I'll accept the things." Uncle Li said with a smile, "Your performance in this competition is also good, and it's still better than last time. You have to practice hard after you go back."

"Hey... I got it, don't worry, Uncle Li, you don't have to worry about the training." Guo Zizhao then said with some squeaks, "It's just..."

"Oh, what's that? You little guy, is there anything else you're embarrassed to mention?" Uncle Li was amused.

"Hey, it's the prize money for that competition, can you give it away first?" Guo Zizhao said shyly.I still have an investment to make next, and the funds are a bit insufficient.

"Oh, our little money master is still short of money? Haha..." Uncle Li smiled, "Okay, I'll ask the bureau to calculate it for you and call it to you in advance. Anyway, you won't be able to come in a short time Rongcheng, go home and study hard."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

……

According to regulations, the prize money for the competition goes through normal procedures and will take about half a month to be distributed.But after Uncle Li said hello, he settled the settlement with Guo Zizhao first.

This time Guo Zizhao won a championship and a runner-up, and the prize money was not much, less than 5000 yuan.After deducting and handing over to the Sports Commission and the Field Management Center, the money was only about [-] yuan.

Of course, this also includes the part where Dad is the coach.But Dad didn't want it, and of course he didn't dare to.The consequences of being discovered by my mother to hide private money are very serious.So Guo Zizhao told Dad that the money will not be given to you, and you can just tell me what you want to buy in the future.

Although the bonus seems to be quite a lot, it is not something that everyone is capable of receiving.First of all, you have to ensure that you have the strength to win the ranking before you can go.Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to make a trip, wasting a lot of registration fees and travel expenses.Besides, there are so many players in the provincial team, whoever goes to the competition and who doesn't, besides looking at the results, they have to sit in a row to score the results, and everyone takes turns.Therefore, except for a few top athletes, other ordinary athletes do not have many opportunities to participate in national competitions every year.

After all, in addition to economic benefits, the Bureau also considers achievements and political achievements.

The money was deposited into Guo Zizhao's account opened at ICBC in Rongcheng.Now this account still has the prize money from participating in the National Middle School Games last time. All the money added up is about 7000 yuan.In the passbook at home in Yun County, there is also the 7000 yuan that my mother gave me last time, the 1000 yuan for selling T-shirts and the remaining 8000 yuan from the previous game prize money, a total of more than [-] yuan.

Guo Zizhao pondered all night, and secretly went to the securities company to open an account the next day.I bought almost 5000 yuan worth of stocks, that is, I bought two stocks, Shuchuan Changhong and Shenzhen Development.Others who are not impressed don't dare to buy.

Guo Zizhao withdrew two thousand for the remaining money.This time I go back and plan to buy at least 5 "tops", and it will still cost tens of thousands of yuan.

……

When Guo Zizhao and his father returned to Yun County, it was November 11th.After returning home, I reported the situation of the competition to my mother, and bought two brocade scarves for my mother by the way.Jinling's brocade is the same as Rongcheng's Shu embroidery. It has been famous all over the world since ancient times.

Although my mother said no more, she was still happy from ear to ear as she touched the scarf.

In the following days, I still study and train every day.However, at the request of Guo Zizhao, Dad made some changes to the training plan and began to gradually increase the intensity of training.Although there are no competitions this year, Guo Zizhao still plans to increase his intensity and get used to it for a while, which will help speed up the integration of attribute points.

In addition, Guo Zizhao also secretly begged his father for a favor.Find someone to inquire about the sale of "tops" in the county.But find someone to inquire secretly, don't say anything.

Although my father was very puzzled, he still found someone to inquire about it.After all, Dad had been a teacher in Yun County No. [-] Middle School for more than ten years, and there were quite a few students in the county, so it was easy to inquire about news.Especially hot news such as selling "tops" in the county, everyone discussed a lot.

Sure enough, within two days my father wrote back.Dad said that one of his former students worked in the county government, and he knew a deputy director who was in charge of selling "tops".According to the student, the current "dingzi" can't be sold at all. The county has given 100 license plates, and it took almost a month to sell more than 30 license plates.The deputy director in charge was almost dying of worry.

The student thought that his father wanted to buy it, so he persuaded his father not to buy it, and he might lose money by then.Fortunately, my father was perfunctory, saying that relatives from other places wanted to buy it, and asked him to inquire about the situation.

Guo Zizhao silently thought, it seems to be the same as in the memory of his previous life, so there will be no problem.However, it is still too early to buy now, and it is easy to attract people's attention.You have to wait until the beginning of December, when the taxis start to run, and then buy them, which is more appropriate at that time.

After that, Guo Zizhao stopped paying attention to this matter and concentrated his energy on study and training.

Soon, the monthly exam at the end of November was over again.Last month, because Guo Zizhao was going to Jinling to participate in the competition, he did not take the monthly exam, so he did not have a ranking.Just when everyone thought that this guy was going to waste his studies because of his sports practice, Guo Zizhao once again shocked everyone with his sixth place in the whole grade.

Even the look in Zhang Xia's eyes when she looked at Guo Zizhao revealed a strange brilliance.Of course, it is also possible that the beautiful brocade handkerchief given by Guo Zizhao played an role.Anyway, the contact between the two began to heat up during this period, and Guo Zizhao took the opportunity to hold the girl's little hand.

Mmm, very soft and warm.

And then...there is no more.Sister Zhang Xia gave Guo Zizhao a hard look, and walked away blushing.Alas... the girl's mind is really elusive.

By the beginning of December, just as Guo Zizhao remembered, after the taxis started operating on the market, there was heavy thunder and little rain.Most people were watching the excitement, but not many people actually took taxis.The taxi business is bleak, and even more people are looking down on this business.

It's time to take action.

After dinner that day, Guo Zizhao called his father and mother to his room, saying that he had something important to discuss.

"What's the matter? It's so formal, I'm going to play mahjong after I finish talking!" During this period, Guo Zizhao's academic and competition results were very good, and the business of the small shop was also good.So my mother is always in a good mood. After dinner, I go out to relax and play mahjong when I have nothing to do.

"Mom, old man, finish it and talk slowly." Guo Zizhao said slowly after letting his parents sit down, "I found a good business opportunity. If I do it well, I can earn more than selling T-shirts last time." , but it’s just a little more investment.”

"What kind of business? How much did you invest?" My mother immediately said excitedly. Since the last T-shirt business, my mother has been admiring Guo Zizhao's vision.

"Hush...be quiet." Guo Zizhao said with a smile, "I'm going to invest 1 yuan in it myself. After the Chinese New Year, I can get back at least 3 yuan."

"Oh!" Mom and Dad looked at each other, "What kind of business is so profitable? You can't do crooked ways!"

"How could it be! You don't know who I am. How could I do such a thing. Old man, do you still remember what I asked you to inquire about last time?" Guo Zizhao said pretending to be mysterious.

Dad thought for a while, and then said suspiciously, "You mean the sale of taxi "tops"?"

"Correct!"

"What's the "top guy"? What else are you two fathers hiding from me?" My mother was about to lose her temper.Dad hurriedly explained from beginning to end what Guo Zizhao asked him to inquire about last time.

"Oh? Your son's business is to buy "tops"?" Mom gave Guo Zizhao a strange look, "Don't you know that those who buy "tops" are losing money now. They can't sell it even if they want to sell it. drop."

Guo Zizhao smiled mysteriously, "If you lose money now, you will make money in the future. I will tell you slowly."

"Taxis do not make money now, mainly because they are more expensive than tricycles. Everyone thinks that it is a waste of money. However, taking a taxi is more stylish than a tricycle, and it has a lot of space. Convenient, right?"

"Yeah." Mom nodded, "But what's the use of these?"

"I think it's useless now, but next month will be the Chinese New Year. Those who work and earn money will come back, and those students who go to college will also come back from vacation. They really need these." Guo Zizhao Said unhurriedly.

My mother's eyes lit up immediately, and she said eagerly, "You mean there will be more people taking taxis by then! The taxi business will explode?"

"Yes!" Guo Zizhao said decisively, "Think about it, those people have seen them in big cities, and even used taxis. Now when I go home, I have taxis in my county, and the price is lower than that in big cities. It's much cheaper. Can you go fresh? Besides, they earn money and come back, and take a taxi back with big bags and small bags. It's a matter of face. Also, after college students come back, do you want to hold a class reunion? , fellow villagers. Take a taxi, and a few people go to the hotel to have a party together. Isn’t it very face-saving. During the Spring Festival, visiting relatives, shopping for something, taking a taxi is more festive than taking a tricycle?”

Guo Zizhao continued in a persuasive manner, "Besides, the train station will be open to traffic after the Chinese New Year, and I'm afraid that taxis will not be able to get jobs by then. I'm afraid that these "tops" will not be enough by then."

Mom thought about it for a while, then nodded. "What you said is also very possible, but we don't have money to buy a car, and we don't know how to drive. Why buy a "top"?"

"Who said you have to drive a taxi after buying a "top"?" Guo Zizhao said with a smile.

"You mean to wait for the price to rise? To speculate on "tops"?" My mother has been doing business for more than two years, and she quickly reacted.

"Yes. Didn't I just say that there won't be enough taxis at that time. Didn't the government issue a document saying that this time they will send out 100 "tops" to test the waters, and will not issue them again within a year. If everyone You can’t even buy “dingzi”, and the price will go up at that time.” Guo Zizhao slowed down, “so the price of “dingzi” will usually rise to the highest during the Chinese New Year or after the train is opened to traffic. We’ll just sell it when the time comes.”

"Besides, I can't buy it from the people who are now engaged in taxis. I'm afraid that the price will increase at that time, and people will feel that they will cause trouble if they lose money. So, I have to ask someone to buy it from the county secretly. I guess I bought it now, and they will be responsible for it." People still have to thank us for helping him solve a big problem. If the price rises at that time, we will ask someone to find him to sell it secretly, and they will still owe us a favor." Guo Zizhao glanced at his father, "You If that student can rely on him, this matter can be entrusted to him.”

"Of course it's reliable. I taught him high school for three years." Dad said, patting his chest.
