The next day, at noon.
Chen Dong met Lin Zhiyuan.
"I've already inquired about what you asked me to find out..."
Lin Zhiyuan got straight to the point; he knew Chen Dong's purpose in coming.
These days, it's not like later generations where you can communicate simply by moving your fingers, making a phone call, or sending a text message.
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Dong waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Let's not talk about that now. It's already noon. Brother-in-law, you know this area well, do you know any good restaurants?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan smiled.
"Come on, your brother-in-law will take you out to eat."
The two chatted and laughed all the way, talking about interesting things that happened during the Chinese New Year, but neither of them mentioned the treasury bonds.
soon.
The two walked to a restaurant.
"This is fine!"
Chen Dong pointed inside.
The restaurant was small, with only six tables, and the decor was very simple, incomparable to the luxurious restaurants of later generations.
Of course, the prices are also very affordable; you can have a meal for just twenty or thirty yuan.
The two came in and randomly found a place to sit down.
It was almost noon.
There was only one table of guests eating inside.
A middle-aged man in his forties hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"
As he spoke, he handed over a simple menu.
Chen Dong took the menu and glanced at it briefly.
The menu wasn't extensive, only a dozen or so dishes, and they were all seasonal home-style dishes.
"Is that all?"
Chen Dong frowned slightly, knowing that in this era, it was still possible to eat quite a lot of wild game.
For example, pheasant, rabbit, and roe deer meat.
Unfortunately, none of them were on the menu.
"Smack!"
Thinking of this, Chen Dong took out a few ten-yuan bills from his pocket.
"Gurgle!"
Upon seeing the large denomination of ten yuan on the table, the boss's eyes lit up, and his face broke into a wide smile.
We've run into a big spender!
There's no need to count; just a quick glance is enough for the boss to know exactly what's going on.
These bills together must cost seventy or eighty yuan.
Nowadays, an employee's monthly salary is only around one hundred yuan.
The handsome young man in front of me can easily spend a month's salary.
This is a rare sight in City X.
The key point is that they are still just two people.
How extravagant!
The boss's smile grew even brighter, and he quickly said...
"I also have a pheasant that was just delivered this morning, and a wild rabbit that weighs at least three pounds."
"Okay, go ahead and prepare everything. Also, make some of your signature dishes. Just focus on cooking. If you don't have enough money, I'll make up the difference!"
Chen Dong waved his hand and turned to look at Lin Zhiyuan.
"Brother-in-law, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
"That's enough, that's enough. There are only two of us, how can we possibly finish all this?"
Lin Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. As for his earlier promise to treat Chen Dong to a meal, he didn't dare to mention it at all now.
This isn't eating; it's downright decadent living.
A single meal costs him a month's salary; no one could afford that.
"Brother-in-law, how about some more wine?"
As he spoke, Chen Dong looked at the boss again.
"Bring us another bottle of Moutai... Hmm, that'll do!"
Upon hearing this, the boss looked troubled and was about to speak when Lin Zhiyuan interrupted.
"No need, boss. Don't listen to him. We have to go to work this afternoon. It's not good to go to work drunk. Hurry up and serve the food."
"Okay, okay!"
"I'll charge you eighty."
Upon hearing this, the shop owner breathed a sigh of relief, quickly collected the money, counted it in front of the two of them, and then hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
That damn rich bastard, isn't he just deliberately insulting people?
His tiny shop, barely the size of a palm, only earns him a meager living; who would come here to drink Moutai?
Watching the boss take the money and leave, Lin Zhiyuan clicked his tongue in amazement.
Eighty dollars?
My brother-in-law is such a spendthrift!
His and Chen Nan's living expenses for two months were only about eighty yuan.
As a result, one meal cost them two months' worth of living expenses.
It has to be said that Lin Zhiyuan was very pleased with Chen Dong's actions, as he gained both face and substance.
on the contrary.
Chen Dong didn't think anything of it.
In his eyes, this was really just a meal.
If conditions allowed, he would have liked to get something even better.
Chen Dong handed Lin Zhiyuan a cigarette and asked him a question.
"Brother-in-law, what did they say over there?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan sat up slightly and replied.
"Dongzi, I've already found out the details of this matter."
"Treasury bond mines do exist, and in considerable numbers, nearly 300,000..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked for more information.
300,000?
"And the price?"
"Are they really willing to sell at half price?"
Upon hearing Chen Dong's question, Lin Zhiyuan's expression became somewhat unnatural.
He himself told Chen Dong that treasury bonds could be bought at a 50% discount.
But that's not how it is now. Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Brother-in-law, is it that they don't want to sell?"
Seeing Lin Zhiyuan's unnatural expression, Chen Dong assumed that the other party was unwilling to sell.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Where else can you find such a good deal when you get half price on real money?
"No, no, it's not that they don't want to sell."
At this point, Lin Zhiyuan looked somewhat embarrassed.
"They agreed to sell, but on two conditions."
"First, the 300,000 treasury bonds must be purchased all at once."
"Secondly, a 50% discount is not acceptable. This is collective property, and it should be at least 70% off."
Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking in one breath, his face still showing some indignation.
