A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
January 31st, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Inside the rented room.
Chen Dong, Hua Zi, Jiang Fei, A Long, and A Hu, a total of 5 people, this was also their first gathering after the New Year.
After a few brief pleasantries, the group got down to business.
Jiang Fei, with a smile on his face, spoke first.
"Thanks to Brother Chen Dong, we brothers had a good New Year this year, and we didn't have to think about territory or fight all the time."
"On behalf of my brothers, I thank you."
As he spoke, he winked at Ah Long and Ah Hu, and the three of them stood up, bowed to Chen Dong in thanks, and shouted in unison.
"Thank you, Brother Dong!"
These words came from the bottom of their hearts.
Behind the seemingly glamorous past, there was no shortage of gossip and slander.
Jiang Fei had also considered leading his brothers to do some other business.
For example, with construction projects happening everywhere these past few years, contracting for basic raw materials can generate a considerable income.
But they were troubled by the fact that they had neither capital nor connections.
Ultimately, even thugs and hooligans are divided into different classes.
Jiang Fei and his gang belonged to the lowest of the low.
They idled away their days, barely surviving by being brave and violent.
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
The ultimate fate of this group was either imprisonment or death in the streets.
"No, no!"
Chen Dong stood up and quickly waved his hand.
"Brother Fei, Ah Long, Ah Hu, I should be the one thanking you. Thanks to you guys, we've made quite a bit of money lately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Zi nodded in agreement.
"Brother Fei... Brother Dong is right. It's all thanks to these brothers. Many hands make light work, and our tea egg business is getting better and better."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei smiled and patted Chen Dong on the shoulder, then changed the subject and said with emotion.
"To be honest, I didn't have good intentions at first either."
"You're just a kid, how come you earn so much money in a day? I was so envious back then, I hope Brother Chen Dong won't take offense."
These words conveyed both a sense of sincerity and a desire to build a friendly relationship.
Chen Dong also showed a knowing look.
At the same time, I felt fortunate for his previous actions.
Sometimes, that's how it is; many people don't understand the meaning of 'willingness to give up' and often suffer great losses as a result.
If Chen Dong had dared to say a single word of dissent back then, we wouldn't be sitting here drinking tea and chatting today.
The two sides could fight tooth and nail for their interests, even to the point of bloodshed, and it's possible that someone might die.
Chen Dong made the right choice.
What he gained in return was peaceful coexistence, friendship, and gratitude. At the same time, the benefits he received far outweighed the losses.
Of course, if Jiang Fei broke his promise, Chen Dong had a backup plan.
The biggest loss was just the tea egg business.
Chen Dong can afford the losses!
To others, he's a goose that lays golden eggs; to him, he's nothing.
Thinking of this, Chen Dong chuckled.
"Brother Fei, let's not talk about the past. When you're out in the game, everyone's just trying to make some money."
"Yes, yes, Brother Chen Dong is right. Let's just forget about those trivial matters from the past."
"From now on, I promise to follow Brother Chen Dong's arrangements without any objection."
Jiang Fei patted his chest repeatedly, speaking with an open and honest expression.
Chen Dong nodded, smiling without saying a word; he believed half of what he said.
Time will tell, and who can predict what will happen in the future?
But right now, we need someone like Jiang Fei to join us.
Reselling treasury bonds is a sure way to make a fortune.
However, it also requires traveling all over the country to acquire low-priced treasury bonds, and only in this way can profits be made.
After all, in essence, the profit from reselling treasury bonds is the price difference.
The cheaper the acquisition price, the greater the profit.
But the problems are also obvious.
The banking system was not well-developed in the 1990s.
There was also no mobile payment system as we know it today.
Therefore, all such transactions are cash transactions.
One can imagine what it was like in the 1990s, when there were no 100-yuan or 50-yuan banknotes.
Carrying a sack of cash to make a transaction—what a crazy thing to do.
Chen Dong's efforts to win them over were naturally also for their safety on the road.
With this thought in mind, Chen Dong briefly explained his plan to resell treasury bonds to the others.
Chen Dong didn't mention his brother-in-law Lin Zhiyuan at all.
After listening to Chen Dong's story, the group of people were stunned.
In their eyes, tea eggs were already extremely profitable, but Chen Dong said he would just give them up.
Is this guy an idiot?
You can see Chen Dong's serious and determined expression.
The group knew that Chen Dong was not joking.
He genuinely wanted to get involved in the business of reselling treasury bonds.
Hua Zi maintained a surprised expression for a while before cautiously asking.
"Brother Dong, are we stopping our tea egg business?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei and the others also turned their gazes towards him.
Where else can you find such a good business opportunity with a daily income of 1,000 yuan?
The fact that Chen Dong was willing to forgo such a large return is enough to show that the returns from treasury bonds are even greater.
They were also eager to hear what Chen Dong would choose.
Upon hearing this...
Chen Dong said with a smile.
"Let's continue the tea egg business. For now, the profits from tea eggs are still quite considerable."
Upon hearing this, for some reason, Jiang Fei suddenly felt relieved.
He was genuinely afraid that Chen Dong would quit.
