The ups and downs of a Chinese medicine speculator

Guo Tao if not halfway to stop the car, I do not know, this pull I go fishing motorcycle driver, was a prone to hoarding dozens of tons of medicinal herbs, in the River Lake is also a small well-known Chinese medicine speculators.　　And when he took advantage of the parking that will tell about his own encounter, let me believe that every speculative failure, there will be the kind of sad and resentful eyes, not complaining about the bad fortune, that is, complaining about his confused. This man is old Zheng. I carry a pile of fishing gear every leisure from Beijing's home building take the subway to Peony Live subway station, then turn to line Line 13, to Huoying station to get off, and then in the subway station to find a three-wheeled motorcycle, let the driver carry me to the fish pond, old Zheng is so and I know.　　Zheng happened to live near the fish pond, a return to life, two back to ripe, then he became my "full-time black motorcycle driver." Old Zheng is Gansu Li County do Chinese medicine business small businessman, and wife together early, make money for a son and a woman to go to school to study, live very comfortable.　　Unexpectedly, early 2003 a sudden "SARS", broke the original tranquility. Fiddling with the fate of old Zheng, is everywhere in the vegetable market yam.　　Because of the concept of "SARS", Yam was also fried like stocks, and, as thrilling. Old Zheng first in cahoots with local medicinal herbs businessman, to 20 yuan/kg price in large quantities from the market buy yam, then hoarding, and the Guangdong side of the so-called Big Boss (middlemen) together with the city (also like the stock market, the banker secretly buy chips in the low, and then shock and wash the plate), because of "SARS" caused by the panic,　　and early April BUCM a professor in the newspaper published the so-called "Sars" in the prescription, Yam also became popular, old Zheng They put Yam Tun in the warehouse. Old Zheng said, at that time a day of the price of Yam, two weeks past, the Chinese yam rose to more than 40 yuan/kg, old Zheng shipments. At that time, Zheng should be a big fat, otherwise, he said, not two eyes, but old Zheng didn't think, the price of yam has been soaring to more than 80 yuan/kg.　　Old Zheng sit still, ask the Guangdong boss, there said the price will rise, so he in the third week of April again admission. Zheng said that China's four major medicinal herbs market--Anhui Bozhou, Henan Yuzhou, Hebei Anguo, and Chengdu Lotus Pond Chinese Medicine market, at that time in the "SARS" machine in the FRY. The price of traditional Chinese medicine has attracted the attention of regulators.　　April 21, the regulatory layer began to release the warning message, the same day, the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medicine issued the relevant prescriptions, 23rd, the FDA also pointed out that the SARS leadership team must be issued under the "atypical pneumonia TCM prevention and Treatment Technology Program (Trial)" In the prescription medication, yam is not in it. Old Zheng gnashing of teeth said, at that time all the money to catch up, but because the announcement, the price of the yam fell to more than 20 yuan/kg, "You think, we more than 80 yuan into the goods, how can more than 20 yuan to sell it?" "Zheng is still waiting, April fast over the last few days, yam price only 10 yuan/Kg.　　Old Zheng still reluctant to sell, until the yam turned red, black, worthless, thrown away. "All Black, bad!"　　"Speaking of this, plus the outside continuous rain, the old Zheng's expression is extremely frustrated." In just one months, the old Zheng went to heaven on the fall back to the world, he and his wife came to the capital, risked being chengguan and police check the risk of huoying subway mouth run black, daily income of about 40 yuan.　　His wife is a cashier in a supermarket, the couple put the money back to Gansu, for children to study, life. Old Zheng said, these years, the taste of too much bitterness, this is not a H1N1? So, before he gave the former customers from Gansu and pulled a point of Chinese herbal medicines, ready to continue to hoard after selling, but the wife know, behind him to sell all the goods. Old Zheng Depressed said, "She did not know the market, you speculative success once, tens of thousands of yuan on the income, than you earn a year more." It seems that the old Zheng, who has broken once, is still unwilling. Send me to the subway mouth, old Zheng left a sentence, "What news we good exchanges." ”？??? Retail stocks, the most like to ask is also "do you have any news?"　　Some say that speculation is the greatest cause in the world, but how many people have been buried by speculation. Sitting on the subway, thinking of a recent conversation with a retired stock trader. He asked me what was the last word in the memoirs of a stock-man, and I said, "Wall Street doesn't have asphalt, why is it blocking traffic?" "Think of this, but I wish the Chinese medicine speculators old Zheng This good luck, yes," Wall Street does not have asphalt road, why to block traffic? ”
