"Brother Dong, I've finished counting, and the numbers are correct."
"Dongzi, I'm done here too."
Hua Zi and Lin Zhiyuan reported to Chen Dong one after the other.
at the same time.
Accountant Li was also reporting to Ma Jianguo.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Chen Dong nodded, blew a round of cigarettes towards the people in the room, and then continued.
"Let's have a smoke and rest for a bit. We'll leave once Fei-ge is done with his business."
"OK!"
The two nodded, somewhat wearily accepted the cigarettes Chen Dong offered, lit them, and found a chair to sit down and rest.
The group barely slept on their journey from Harbin, and after getting off the train, they went to the mine to buy treasury bonds, keeping them in a state of high concentration.
At that time, there were no money counting machines, and counting money was all done manually.
If you're not careful, you'll have to start counting again.
Therefore, one must be fully focused.
At this moment, the two of them, having relaxed, were too tired to speak.
Counting money may seem like an easy task, but once the amount becomes large, even the easiest task becomes less so.
Chen Dong wasn't much better off than the other two.
Although he didn't count the money himself, as the backbone of the team, he couldn't let his guard down.
This is only the first step in a long journey.
Next.
We also need to find a way to transport these discounted treasury bonds back to Pearl City and sell them.
Only then was the deal of reselling treasury bonds truly complete.
The task of transporting the treasury bonds back was not easy either.
The main reason lies in the treasury bonds themselves.
A 100-yuan treasury bond, purchased with half the money.
In terms of quantity, it's equivalent to double the amount.
However, not all of the treasury bonds in the mine were in denominations of 100 yuan.
There were also 50 yuan denominations, but the majority were 10 yuan and 5 yuan denominations.
This is why, when Li and others received 300,000 yuan worth of treasury bonds, they had to carry them in using snakeskin bags.
After listening to Accountant Li's report, Ma Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief.
He stepped forward, shook hands with Chen Dong, and said with a smile.
"Brother Chen Dong, it's time for dinner. I've asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes. Shall we eat together?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Ma, but it's really..."
Chen Dong didn't say the rest, but glanced at the table, his meaning clear.
Upon seeing this.
Ma Jianguo nodded, understanding perfectly.
If it were him, he would also be afraid that things might change if he waited too long.
"Alright, I won't bother you any longer. When you go down the mountain, let Xiaolin take you there."
"Thank you, Director Ma."
Chen Dong made a polite remark, took the initiative to shake hands with him, and then they parted.
Ma Jianguo nodded to the group again, then led Accountant Li and Cashier Lin out of the house.
Lin Zhiyuan's uncle, Lin Zhengqing, walked behind the three of them. When they were almost at the door, he slowed down and gave Lin Zhiyuan some more instructions.
"Zhiyuan, have Lin Zhiming escort you down the mountain later. I have other things to do, so I won't stay with you any longer."
"I understand, Uncle. Thank you so much for your help this time."
"What are you saying... If it weren't for you, these treasury bonds would be sitting on the ground. In fact, you've done our mine a huge favor."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Chen Dong immediately stood up and thanked Lin Zhengqing.
In fact, without Lin Zhengqing's information, this transaction would not have happened.
Furthermore, he lost his temper when Ma Jianguo tried to raise the price.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengqing grinned.
“You are Zhiyuan’s brother-in-law, we are family. If I don’t do anything when I see my own family being taken advantage of, would I still be a man?”
"Besides, even without this relationship, I wouldn't agree to Ma Jianguo changing his mind about what we agreed on over the phone."
"Uncle, it's you!"
Hua Zi grinned and gave Lin Zhengqing a thumbs up.
Upon hearing this...
Chen Dong forced a smile and said with concern.
"Uncle, will this affect you?"
After all, it was collective property. The original agreement was for a 30% discount, but because Ma Jianguo raised the price at the last minute, Chen Dong's temper flared up.
Looking back now.
After all, it was because of Lin Zhengqing that Chen Dong was contacted.
If Ma Jianguo uses this incident as an excuse to attack Lin Zhengqing.
They made a fortune, but Lin Zhengqing was the one who suffered.
They might even be accused of selling off collective assets at a bargain price.
Upon hearing this...
Lin Zhengqing waved his hand dismissively.
"What does this have to do with me?"
"The decision to discount treasury bonds by 30% was the result of a collective meeting and discussion."
"The meeting minutes are still there; they can't be disregarded, can they?"
"It was agreed upon, but Ma Jianguo raised the price at the last minute. He decided to sell the treasury bonds at a 60% discount, and it was still Ma Jianguo."
"I didn't say a single word the whole time."
At this point, Lin Zhengqing smiled, gave Chen Dong a meaningful look, and praised him.
"But you, at such a young age, are quite remarkable to have managed to keep that old fox in check!"
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Zhiyuan again, and her tone became less polite.
“You should learn from your brother-in-law. Don’t be like your cousin, who’s never home. You’ll need his help to get rich in the future.”
Lin Zhiyuan chuckled, but he knew perfectly well what was going on.
Just as his uncle said, his brother-in-law is no ordinary person.
Whether in terms of work or personal conduct, he far surpasses his peers.
She can be described as a prodigy.
