Jiang Yuhong, however, easily obtained the information through his own channels.

Seeing Zhang Cheng remain silent and stare intently at him, Jiang Yuhong's smile did not diminish.

"I'm unfamiliar with Funing County, so I'm thinking of cooperating with you. You can help me acquire treasury bonds; I'll provide the money, and we'll split the profits 90/10. You'll provide the labor. How about that?"

Jiang Yuhong said these things to provide background information.

Zhang Cheng understood, and even guessed that he might acquire it for hundreds of thousands or millions.

but...

Zhang Cheng pursed his lips, still not intending to fight him, and instead laughed.

"I have about 50,000 treasury bonds here. Would you like to take them?"

Jiang Yuhong looked at Zhang Cheng with surprise.

According to his intelligence, the other party could earn a maximum of 20,000 from the herbal gift box.

In other words, does the other party have other deals that he is unaware of? As such, Jiang Yuhong is more optimistic about Zhang Cheng.

"Can!"

Jiang Yuhong nodded with a smile.

"The central government's repurchase of treasury bonds should go smoothly."

However, it's unclear whether interest will be paid.

So, 50,000 treasury bonds, 50,000 yuan for the purchase. How about that?

"no problem!"

Jiang Yuhong turned his head to look at the bustling shops in the distance.

"I just opened that shop. I'll let Lao Liu know. You can exchange the treasury bonds with him! Also, what do you think of my suggestion?"

"Sorry, I'm not looking to work for someone else right now!"

"What a pity!" Jiang Yuhong shook his head slightly.

“I admire you very much. If you change your mind, you can come find me on Yu Hong Street in Shanghai.”

Jiang Yuhong. Yuhong Street? Zhang Cheng was startled. Could this guy own a street in Shanghai?

“I’m going to Wenzhou soon… We’ll meet again someday!” Jiang Yuhong extended his right hand.

Zhang Cheng then extended his right hand.

"See you again someday!"

After Jiang Yuhong left, Zhang Cheng rode his bicycle to the police station.

Zhao Daming is not here; he went to a meeting at the Municipal Party Committee.

Zhang Cheng had a free meal at the police station and waited until after 2 p.m. before Zhao Daming took out the treasury bonds stored in the evidence room.

Zhang Cheng borrowed a motorcycle from Zhao Daming and rushed off to South Street.

I got about 49,000 treasury bonds from Li Yuanyuan today.

Carrying a sack of treasury bonds, Zhang Cheng walked into the newly opened shop and exchanged them for 49,000 yuan in cash from a middle-aged man.

Herbal gift boxes cannot be made.

There are now competitors in the acquisition of treasury bonds.

Zhang Cheng was momentarily at a loss, unsure of what to do.

Holding 49,000 yuan in cash, he rode his motorcycle to the credit union. Bank Manager Zhou was stunned; he hadn't expected Zhang Cheng to come and repay the loan so quickly.

"Xiao Zhang, this money is an interest-free loan with a three-year term. You can use it for short-term purposes," said Bank Manager Zhou.

"No need!" Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile.

"Of course, if we need money in the future, we will still have to trouble Director Zhou."

"Alright then."

Zhang Cheng needed the village committee's official seal to repay the loans on behalf of his fellow villagers.

Before the old village chief returned to the village, Zhang Cheng asked for the official seal.

The villagers borrowed 26,900 yuan from the village committee, plus 3,000 yuan from Zhang Cheng's house mortgage, and the debt was repaid in one lump sum.

Forty-nine thousand treasury bonds were sold, leaving one thousand one hundred.

The problem is that Zhang Cheng hasn't finished spending the money he borrowed before.

Li Yuanyuan still has over 9,800.

He still has 13,200 left.

All together, it's less than 33,000.

After two days of effort, aside from the 16,000 yuan earned from selling herbal gift boxes, the 17,000 yuan profit came from treasury bonds.

Debt-free is a carefree life.

No wonder the older generation doesn't like to owe money; they'd rather live a frugal life.

Director Zhao went to the light bulb factory and should be able to help purchase some treasury bonds, which will bring in more money... With so much money, Zhang Cheng was a little confused and didn't know how to spend it.

There are really too few ways to make money right now, especially for personal investments.

Thirty-three thousand yuan is neither a lot nor a little.

After thinking it over, Zhang Cheng decided to ask Director Zhao.

Zhang Cheng rode his motorcycle back to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Mo Qijing, who was keeping a broom by the door, was stunned when she saw Zhang Cheng riding a motorcycle.

This guy is getting better and better.

Nowadays, an imported Honda motorcycle costs 20,000 yuan, and you still need connections to buy it.

In the vast Funing County, only the local police station and public security bureau have motorcycles.

Zhang Cheng parked his motorcycle at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and strode towards Mo Qijing, who was coming to greet him.

"Sister, is Director Zhao back?"

"Back, back, in the office." Mo Qijing smiled as she looked at the motorcycle.

"Hey bro, is this motorcycle from the police station?"

"Yes!" Zhang Cheng nodded.

"Borrowed from Director Zhao."

"Awesome!" Mo Qijing gave a thumbs up.

The police station treats its motorcycles like precious treasures; ordinary people can't borrow them to drive.

"Sister, I've gone to see Director Zhao!"

"Go ahead, go ahead!"

In the office. ^p Director Zhao pointed to the burlap sacks on the ground and laughed.

"I've brought the 11,000 treasury bonds from the light bulb factory. You can give me 6,000 yuan."

"Another five thousand one hundred!" Zhang Cheng chuckled, pulling out stacks of ten-yuan notes from his large bag. Director Zhao's lips twitched as he looked at the money in the bag.

"You only have this much money with you, and you're just running around outside?"

“I feel at ease having money close to me!” Zhang Cheng explained.

Director Zhao shook his head.

"On the way back from the light bulb factory, I went to the municipal government and talked with the representatives of Tianyao Company about the transfer of the trademark."

"Take a look at the transfer agreement, sign it if there are no problems, and they'll give you the money in a few days."

"Okay!" Zhang Cheng signed without even looking at it.

"With you, Director, overseeing it, I don't need to look at it."

"You little rascal!" Director Zhao put away the signed transfer contract.

"Director, what kind of business can I start now?"

"Aren't you buying treasury bonds?"

"I can't do this anymore!" Zhang Cheng shrugged helplessly.

“The business of acquiring treasury bonds is indeed very risky, and no one can figure out what the higher-ups’ attitude is.”

Zhang Cheng thought to himself, "The higher-ups have already made the decision; it's just that those at the bottom don't know about it."

"The municipal party committee has decided to build a department store on South Street. Why don't you rent a shop there?"

Department store? Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up.

The Funing County Party Committee leadership is truly keeping pace with the reform and opening-up policy.

The opening of the department store was a devastating blow to the county's supply and marketing cooperative.

"The municipal party committee might appoint me as the manager of the department store!" Director Zhao whispered.

Zhang Cheng's eyes darted around, and he whispered.

"Director Zhao, congratulations in advance."
