Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 194 Seeing Hope
On the last day of 2007, the Southeast Trading Center, which was supposed to be closed for a break, suddenly received a large number of reports.

After being bombarded with more than thirty consecutive phone calls, the police, in conjunction with the market supervision department, mobilized ten people to raid the second floor of the market.

The trading center is closed, but other merchants in the market are not.

They watched helplessly as the police blocked the gates of the Southeast Trading Center and summoned several responsible persons to the scene.

"Comrade police, what happened?"

After receiving Jiang Guoru's call, Jiang Zehao and He Lei rushed over and broke out in cold sweats.

"Someone has complained that your trading center made fake transactions and deceived investors. Now we want to check the inventory and all documents. Please cooperate." The police explained their purpose.

On the other side, the person in charge of market supervision came over with a stamped document: "Please cooperate with our work, submit all the warehouse entry forms, and open the warehouse."

"Comrade, is there any misunderstanding? How could we do such a thing?" Jiang Zehao tried his best to argue.

But both the police and supervisors have heard this kind of talk so many times that they have become immune to it.

"Can you let me make a phone call?" Jiang Zehao still didn't want to.

"It is your right to call, but before that, please submit all incoming documents and open your warehouse."

The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally Jiang Zehao had no choice but to open the warehouse.

The entrance of the trading center was already surrounded by merchants, and everyone was stunned by this sudden situation.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, it seems very serious."

"Haven't you heard yet? Many investors suspected that Southeast was engaged in fraudulent transactions and that the goods they purchased did not exist in their inventory. So they reported it to the regulatory authorities. This is a data and inventory check."

"What nonsense! How is this possible? Falsely increasing the inventory. Who is Mr. Jiang to do such a thing?"

"Maybe. Our words don't count, right? Everything depends on the result. Maybe someone reported it maliciously?"

“I think it’s very likely.”

There was a lot of discussion outside the trading center, but the actions inside were proceeding very quickly.

There is no wall that is impenetrable in the market. After half a day, the rumor had already spread.

The Southeast Exchange did have the phenomenon of inflating inventory, but it did not engage in false transactions.

Just as the merchants were in an uproar, the regulatory authorities quickly moved into the Zhongbo Trading Center.

Compared with Southeast’s transaction worth about 100 million yuan, Zhongbo’s investigation took two full days, but the final result was beyond everyone’s expectations.

When the police and regulators left, the difference in attitude towards the two could be seen.

The police even apologized to Lu Feng and Huang Doudou.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt your work, but this is our job, and we have no choice..."

Lu Feng said politely: "How can you say that? Your coming to supervise is also a recognition for us. For investors, it is also a responsible behavior."

Look at those young people, they know how to talk.

After the supervisors left, Zhongbo’s inspection results quickly spread.

All transaction objects are intact and kept in the safe of the vault.

On January 2008, 1, just one day before the market opened, the Southeast Exchange’s announcement that it would suspend trading for a week for system maintenance set off a storm in the entire industry.

At this critical moment, the sudden suspension of trading has proved that the gossip is not groundless. At this time, Lv Feng and his four companions, who were enjoying a three-day short vacation at Chimelong, were looking for a corner in the crowded park to rest with despair in their eyes.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have come out to play. This is not a vacation, it's simply torture." It was already winter, and Wu Xin, who was only wearing a coat, was sweating all over. He sat under the shade of a tree and complained.

"I told you a long time ago not to be anxious, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but you didn't listen." Huang Doudou directly put the blame on the two of them.

"It wasn't me who suggested this. It was Liu Chang. Don't blame me." Lu Feng also followed suit and tried to pass the blame.

At this time, the four of them were completely scattered.

Just as they were trying to blame each other, Lu Feng's phone suddenly lit up. He took a look and immediately gave it to Huang Doudou.

Huang Doudou took a look at the screenshot of the web page and couldn't help but cheer.

Their combination of three long and one short was already extremely conspicuous, and Huang Doudou's wolf howl immediately attracted countless glances.

Wu Xin dragged him to the ground. "There are so many girls here, don't worry about your image and don't affect us."

Huang Doudou stood up, pointed at him and said rudely, "You are such a thief, and you have the nerve to talk to me about your image."

After saying that, he came close to Lu Feng and said with a smile: "The market will be suspended for seven days. This time, Southeast will be in big trouble."

However, Lu Feng has a different opinion.

"In a situation like this, it's impossible to suspend trading for only seven days. Someone must have suppressed the order."

Huang Doudou was very satisfied: "It's OK. Although the inventory was inflated, there was no false transaction involved. In the final analysis, Uncle Gen and his men did not suffer any losses. In the end, we still have to let the matter rest."

Lu Feng nodded in agreement.

Wu Xin said, "No matter what, this is a great victory. We must have a meal to celebrate."

"Mr. Huang, please treat us!" Lu Feng was the first to raise his hand.

"Second!" Liu Chang, the sixth brother, immediately assisted.

After a round of "democratic voting", Huang Doudou paid five hundred dollars with an absolute disadvantage of one to three.

Fortunately, the four of them were just singing and their alcohol tolerance was really alarming, so Mr. Huang was lucky enough to escape the disaster.

The next day, the four of them, who had been partying all night, returned to the company with dark circles under their eyes.

Before Lu Feng even sat down, he saw the data submitted by the technicians.

After Southeast’s data came out yesterday, the market reacted instantly.

Almost 60% of the members went to Zhongbo to register, and the merchants in the market responded more directly, just waiting for Southeast to open and then picking up the goods to Zhongbo for custody.

In just one day, Zhongbo gained almost 3,000 more effective trading users.

Merchants who have not been able to pick up the goods for the time being are even more anxious. Because according to the announcement, the custody period for the seven varieties is about to end, and they can't wait until the day when Southeast reopens.

It was in the big private room of Letao Restaurant.

This time there were more than twenty people coming, and they filled three tables.

Amidst a flurry of flattery, Lu Feng finally "compromised" and agreed on the spot to issue an announcement today. In order to cope with the special circumstances, the custody period would be extended by fifteen days.

A week of hosting time was set aside for these merchants.

"Mr. Lu is so considerate. I almost cried!" A merchant saw hope and raised his glass, as if he had met a long-lost brother.
