"Mayor Li, perhaps you only know one side of the story. Let me put it this way..."
Next, Chen Dong recounted the general details of what had happened.
The purchase of treasury bonds from the mine was done out of respect for Lin Zhengqing; it was purely a favor.
The reason for offering a 30% discount to help people sell their goods is because of trust.
Since ordinary people trust them and don't need to pay immediately, they naturally reciprocate.
After listening to Chen Dong's explanation, Mayor Li finally understood what had happened.
Lin Zhengqing rolled his eyes.
Out of respect for him?
I'd really appreciate it, but please don't hesitate to ask me to go out of my way.
Only Chen Dong would dare to say such a thing. If it were Lin Zhiming, he would have slapped him long ago.
What a scoundrel who takes advantage of others and then acts innocent!
Lin Zhengqing had a very good impression of Chen Dong.
In his eyes, Chen Dong was the perfect child.
Whether in speech or action, the impression they give is one of 'steadiness'; you can rest assured doing anything with such a person.
"Mayor Li, you are a good official. It is a blessing for the people to have such a good official as you."
"With someone as outstanding as you as a role model, I can't just sit idly by!"
"Okay...we'll take out 20,000 yuan in cash later. For each family that sells treasury bonds to us at a 50% discount, and the total amount exceeds 400 yuan, they can receive a 100-jin bag of flour."
"This is just a small token of our appreciation!"
atmosphere!
Mayor Li nodded in satisfaction.
In his view, Chen Dong and his team's profit was only tens of thousands of yuan.
Otherwise, they wouldn't keep emphasizing that a 30% discount is essentially a waste of money.
It's only right that they earn some money given the long distance.
Just like scalpers at train stations, they add a few dollars, resell the goods, and only make a meager living.
If someone can come up with 20,000 yuan at once, that probably accounts for half of the profit, right?
Mayor Li looked at Chen Dong with a hint of admiration.
"On behalf of the people of this town, thank you!"
"Mayor Li, you're too kind. It's all my duty!"
Hearing Mayor Li's words, Chen Dong's face flushed slightly.
He was merely using a tactic commonly employed by merchants in later generations, but in the eyes of these people, it was the behavior of a philanthropist.
This made Chen Dong a little embarrassed.
What a simple and honest era.
I'm so ashamed!
As they spoke, Chen Dong and Lin Zhengqing exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.
A potential crisis was easily resolved by Chen Dong.
Moreover, spurred by the promise of 100 kilograms of flour, the acquisition went exceptionally smoothly.
In less than two days, nearly 700,000 yuan in cash was spent.
In return, they received three sacks full of treasury bonds.
Ten days later.
All treasury bonds were sold off.
The group then boarded a train heading south.
