Some people had heard about the previous 30% discount.
Now they're offering a 50% discount on the purchase price, which is understandably unacceptable.
Ordinary people aren't stupid. If they can sell it at 70% off, why would they sell it at 50% off?
Taking a 100-yuan treasury bond as an example, the difference between a 50% discount and a 70% discount is 20 yuan.
In 1990, 20 yuan was enough for an average family's monthly expenses.
Thus, the people approached the government, hoping to raise the purchase price to 70%.
To his surprise, these outsiders rejected his proposal.
Just when he thought that Chen Dong and his gang were insatiable.
Hua Zi and others did the opposite.
On the one hand, they increased publicity efforts, telling everyone that treasury bonds could yield extremely high interest rates upon maturity.
On the other hand, they also emphasized their willingness to acquire the property at a 50% discount.
This kind of publicity puzzled him greatly.
Mayor Li immediately suspected it was a scam.
Especially in the past year, there have been frequent reports of outsiders coming to cheat and swindle people.
He hadn't encountered this before, but now that he has, is it possible for him to allow such a thing to happen, even after receiving the information?
Isn't this a slap in the face?
When he arrived at the scene, he found that it was completely different from what he had imagined.
Eye-catching slogans, public explanations, and good order.
All of this demonstrates that there was no scam.
In fact, even he couldn't find any fault with what Chen Dong and others did.
Although Chen Dong is young, what he does reveals a grand spirit; perhaps the words "upright and honorable" would be a more fitting description!
This gave him the idea of having a chat with Chen Dong.
Mayor Li's face was serious, and he deliberately kept a straight face as he spoke coldly.
"Young comrade, by purchasing at such a low price, the people are suffering a great loss."
"Mayor Li, you can't say that."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong composed himself and said calmly.
"If I hadn't emphasized the price of Treasury bills upon maturity, that would indeed have been my mistake."
"But now, I'm clearly telling everyone the value of the treasury bonds after they mature. Under these circumstances, the people are still willing to sell them to us at a low price. This shouldn't be considered a loss, right?"
"quibble!"
Mayor Li glared and retorted.
"If you buy a 100-yuan treasury bond for 50 yuan, aren't ordinary people losing out?"
