Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 173 You'll only know if you try.
The benchmark market continued its frenzied rally on Friday.

As soon as the vehicle management office opened in the morning, people in Wenzhou immediately raised the price to 66,000 yuan.

At this rate, we'll definitely surpass 70,000 today.

Prices have risen so sharply that it is becoming increasingly difficult for both Wenzhou residents and local speculators to acquire license plates.

The people of Wencheng changed their approach and started contacting taxi companies throughout Jiangcheng.

After getting his new Accord, Lin Zhenbang, the former owner of Jietong Taxi, took his wife and children on a road trip to the north during the holidays.

Having had such a rare opportunity, he specially asked for a few days off for his child, planning to travel around Beijing and several northern provinces. They have already begun their return journey.

After the family of three had finished lunch, Lin Zhengbang was driving when his wife, who was sitting in the passenger seat, received a phone call.

The caller was her cousin, who was a layabout and a typical slacker, and the Lin family disliked him.

Her cousin had been calling her for the past two days, but she was very cautious because she was afraid he knew about the sale of her family's company and wanted to borrow money.

Seeing the phone ring again, Lin Zhenbang said to his wife, "Liu Li, hiding like this isn't a solution. Answer it and see what he's up to."

"it is good."

Lin Zhenbang's wife, Liu Li, nodded and pressed the answer button: "Hello, Xiaohu, what's up?"

A young man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sis, what have you been busy with these past few days? I haven't been able to reach you."

Liu Li chuckled awkwardly and said, "Oh, didn't your brother-in-law get a new car? We're just taking Nan Nan out for a few days. What do you need me for?"

The young man said, "I heard from my mom that my brother-in-law's taxi company was sold before the holiday. Is that true?"

Liu Li felt a little nervous, thinking that someone had come to borrow money, so she asked warily, "Why are you asking about this?"

Sensing her wariness, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I'm not asking to borrow money. I just wanted to ask you how much my brother-in-law's company cost? Do you two know how crazy the taxi license plate prices are these days?"

Liu Li's cousin also didn't get along with him and his wife.

A few years ago, I thought my cousin's husband was quite capable, and I always wanted to curry favor with him. But the couple were both misers, each more stingy than the other. He tried to curry favor with them for two years but didn't get any benefits. In addition, he was often ridiculed by them. So he eventually gave up on the idea.

He knew that Lin Zhenbang's company had been sold before National Day. At first, he was quite envious of his brother-in-law for cashing out two million yuan in one go. But with the skyrocketing prices of the quotas these past few days, he started to feel a bit like he was watching a joke.

Upon hearing that taxi quotas had skyrocketed, Liu Li's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "What's going on? How much have they gone up?"

The other party chuckled and said, "This thing is going up in price so fast, I don't even know if the price I quoted is accurate. Anyway, it was around 68,000 or 69,000 around noon."

"What did you say?!"

Liu Li felt as if her head was about to explode.

Sixty-eight thousand, sixty-nine thousand?!
She subconsciously asked Lin Zhenbang, who was driving, "Old Lin, how much did it cost to buy a license plate for our family?"

Lin Zhenbang was driving fast and couldn't hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, but when his wife mentioned the price increase, he became a little nervous and said, "Our quotas were sold for 45,000 each, what happened? Now it's gone up?"

Liu Li broke down immediately and blurted out, "Xiao Hu said it's gone up to 68,000 or 69,000!"

Lin Zhenbang's face stiffened, and he subconsciously waved his hand: "Impossible, this is nonsense! Sixty-eight or sixty-nine thousand? Sell it to a ghost!"

The young man on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "Sis, it's okay if my brother-in-law doesn't believe me. You can have him call and ask his former colleagues. I don't have anything else to say, I just wanted to let you know. I'm hanging up now."

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Liu Li said to Lin Zhenbang with some doubt, "Old Lin, why don't you call and ask our former colleagues? Xiao Hu has no reason to lie to us like this."

Lin Zhenbang also felt that if his wife's cousin had specifically called to lie, he could easily find out the truth by asking around, so there was no need for him to do this.

So Lin Zhenbang took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and called a colleague he knew well.

"Hey, Lao Zhu, I need to ask you something."

"Old Lin, what's up?"

"Have the quotas gone up in price?"

"Yeah, it's been going up for days, and you're only just finding out? It's almost 70,000 now."

Lin Zhenbang panicked and quickly asked, "How did it go up?"

The other party explained, "A group of people from Wenzhou came, and it's said they brought tens of millions of yuan to speculate on the quotas. They're the ones who drove up the prices."

After saying that, the other person added, "I thought you already knew, but I was too embarrassed to talk to you because I was afraid of upsetting you."

"Hold……"

Lin Zhenbang felt dizzy and disoriented.

If each indicator costs 70,000, how much will I lose?
One quota is 25,000.

Forty of them, that's exactly one million!
Lin Zhenbang was extremely depressed.

In just over ten days, I missed out on a million dollars. Isn't that suicidal?
He couldn't help but ask the other person, "Old Zhu, are people in Wenzhou still speculating on this?"

"Of course."

Old Zhu replied, "They just called me, wanting to buy my company. They said if I can sign the contract and transfer the ownership today, they'll give me a quota of 72,000."

"Seventy-two thousand?"

Lin Zhenbang was even more confused and asked, "Isn't it still under 70,000? Why are you getting 72,000?" Old Zhu said, "They must be eager to buy more. I have more than 20 cars. They meant that if I signed the contract today, they would give me an extra 2,000. I didn't agree. Prices are rising so fast now, I have to seize this opportunity!"

Lin Zhenbang felt a dry, bitter taste in his mouth. He swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "At what price would you be willing to sell?"

"About 110,000 or 120,000."

Old Zhu frankly said, "I think the price will peak at 110,000 or 120,000. If they still want more at that price, then I'll sell."

"110,000 to 120,000..."

Lin Zhenbang felt like dying.

If the price really rises to 110,000 or 120,000, how much less money will I earn?

A dejected Lin Zhenbang said bitterly, "Okay, Lao Zhu, I have nothing else to say, I'll hang up now."

The other party even comforted him: "Old Lin, once you've placed your order, don't feel bad about it."

Lin Zhenbang gave a vague reply, hung up the phone, and immediately started cursing: "Damn it! No wonder that kid bought the company and didn't rent out a single one of the forty cars! I was wondering why he didn't rent them out to anyone and make some money every month, right? That bastard must have known the quota was going to go up in price, and he bought my company just to wait for this wave!"

Liu Li, standing nearby, also became anxious. Thinking about the huge loss, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears: "If it really rises to over 100,000, we'll lose more than two million... How many years would it take to earn two million? We've worked hard for half our lives, and all we've saved is a little over two million."

Lin Zhenbang was also extremely distressed.

Just then, another phone call came in.

He pressed the answer button, and the other party, speaking in a southern accent, asked him, "Is this Mr. Lin?"

Lin Zhenbang asked impatiently, "It's me. Who are you?"

The other party said, "I heard that you have a taxi company and I was wondering if you'd be interested in selling it. If you are, we can meet and talk."

Lin Zhenbang was even more upset and asked him, "What price can you offer if we sell forty quotas as a package?"

The other party said, "The price is negotiable. Mr. Lin, you have a lot of quotas, so we're willing to save you some trouble. Right now, it's 69,000 per person outside, but if you can sign the contract today, we'll just give you 72,000."

Lin Zhenbang was stunned.

When I sold the company, I sold a lot of it, so the price was several thousand lower than the market price.

Why did these people actively raise the price when buying the company?

Shouldn't the higher the sales volume, the lower the unit price?

When the other party heard that he was not speaking, they assumed he was not interested and said, "Mr. Lin, if you are sincere in making a purchase, the price is negotiable, and we can even discuss adding a little more."

Now, buying them one by one is no longer enough to satisfy the appetite of Wenzhou residents.

Moreover, they themselves are the market makers, and they know that the price will continue to rise violently. At this time, someone like Lin Zhenbang, who has forty indicators, is a god of wealth. Let alone 72,000, even 75,000 or 80,000, they would not be unable to accept it.

After all, they were the ones who started the market trend, with prices rising several times a day, and the longer it dragged on, the higher the prices would naturally become.

However, information was scarce in those days. They only heard from a few people that Lin Zhenbang had previously sold off companies, but they had no idea that the companies had already changed hands.

When Lin Zhenbang heard that the other party was willing to add more than 72,000, he tentatively asked, "Would 75,000 be okay?"

Without hesitation, the other party asked, "Can we sign the contract today, Mr. Lin? If we can sign today, then this price is no problem! Mr. Lin, please think it over carefully, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Lin Zhenbang completely lost his composure.

He finally realized how much he had lost.

One indicator resulted in a loss of 30,000.

Forty targets, 1.2 million!

All that money was earned by that eighteen-year-old Chen Cheng!

He was furious, but he said to the man from Wencheng, "I'll think about it and contact you when I've made up my mind."

Thinking he wasn't interested, the other party quickly added, "Mr. Lin, if you're not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it. The market won't keep rising like this forever. If you can really sell today, we can offer you 80,000!"

Lin Zhenbang felt his anger rising to the breaking point.

He couldn't continue the conversation like this, so he said impatiently, "I'll think about it and we can talk later!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

As soon as he hung up the phone, his wife Liu Li, who was standing next to him, started crying and complaining: "You turned a deal worth three or four million into a mere two million. The one or two million you lost is almost enough to buy a villa!"

Lin Zhenbang was already annoyed, and his wife's complaint only made him angrier. He immediately retorted, "How dare you complain to me? Weren't you the one urging me to sell it quickly? You know the price that guy surnamed Chen quoted, and I remember you were the one who told me to agree to it quickly, right?"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Liu Li cried and said, "Why are you being so mean! I'm just upset, this loss is too great..."

Lin Zhenbang gritted his teeth and said, "I have to find that kid surnamed Chen and make him sell the company back to me."

Liu Li's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked him, "Will it work?"

Lin Zhenbang said with a gloomy expression, "Whether it works or not, we'll only know after we try!"
