"Brother-in-law, do you want to get rich?"
Isn't that obvious?
Lin Zhiyuan isn't stupid, nor would he turn down money.
It would be wonderful if Chen Dong offered to do so.
"You want me to sell tea eggs with you?" Lin Zhiyuan asked cautiously.
He was both hopeful and hesitant.
Everyone wants a good life, but he doesn't know if he can make it without a secure job.
Chen Dong said with a smile.
"Of course it's not tea eggs. I just told you, tea eggs are just a small business, they're not respectable."
"Besides, at most a year later, there will be followers. The market is only so big. With more people doing business, the competition will become more intense, and it won't be like picking up money now."
Chen Dong wasn't lying when he said that.
In fact.
After the tea egg business became a hit.
People have already started studying their business model.
Isn't it just about grabbing attention through hawking?
It seems like anyone can yell if they just swallow their pride.
In addition, their advertising slogans are catchy and easy to remember after just a few listens.
Currently, the secret recipe for tea eggs has yet to be cracked.
But it won't be long, just a month or two.
Believe it or not, there are many hidden masters among ordinary people; this is absolutely true.
Some restaurant chefs only need to taste it, and after a little thought, they can make a similar-tasting tea egg in just a few days.
If given more time, he could further improve the flavor.
This is another reason why Chen Dong looks down on tea eggs.
But Lin Zhiyuan didn't understand these things.
I thought it was just Chen Dong making excuses.
Besides, this is my brother-in-law's business, so there's nothing to say if he doesn't want to include me.
Lin Zhiyuan has a very clear understanding of his own position.
Do not demand or force.
This was also something Chen Dong valued.
Otherwise, given Chen Dong's personality, he wouldn't have involved his family.
Chen Dong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said.
"Brother-in-law, do you know what treasury bonds are?"
"When you say 'get rich,' you don't mean treasury bonds, do you?"
Lin Zhiyuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
He actually knew about treasury bonds.
I also understand what treasury bonds are.
To put it simply, it's a government bond issued when the country wants to undertake construction but doesn't have the funds.
Internationally, they are collectively known as treasury bonds.
Treasury bonds are further divided into three-year, five-year, and so on.
Upon maturity, the principal and interest will be settled in full.
When treasury bonds were mentioned, Lin Zhiyuan's expression became serious, and he tried to persuade him.
"Chen Dong, are you really going to do this deal?"
"I still want to advise you, really don't do this. You don't know, in my hometown, even at a 50% discount, nobody wants it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong's eyes lit up, and he asked in confusion.
"Brother-in-law, are you kidding? Really 50% off?"
"Um!"
Lin Zhiyuan nodded and explained.
“My uncle’s mine has been paying out bonuses in the form of treasury bonds for three consecutive years, supposedly to support the country’s construction. Now, they can’t even sell them.”
"Is that really true?"
As he spoke, Chen Dong handed Lin Zhiyuan a cigarette and lit one for himself as well.
In later generations, he also learned about treasury bonds from books.
In 1990, someone became a millionaire in just one year by reselling treasury bonds.
The millionaires of this era are equivalent to the billionaires of later generations.
Putting aside other things.
A courtyard house in Beijing in 1990 cost less than one million yuan.
A few years earlier, it would have cost 100,000 yuan.
But in later generations, a courtyard house would cost hundreds of millions of yuan; you couldn't even dream of owning one.
The reason it's so expensive, besides its historical value, is more importantly due to its permanent ownership and land certificate.
Chen Dong can only think about the courtyard house for now; he'll have to wait until he has the money.
Lin Zhiyuan took a drag of his cigarette and said confidently.
"It's true. To be honest, the mine is doing this for their own good. They can get a lot of interest when the treasury bonds mature. But these days, nobody is rich. When they really need money, they can't withdraw the money before the bonds mature, so they can only worry about it."
"Even local banks don't accept it?" Chen Dong asked in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan smiled wryly.
"The banks do accept the money, but the problem is that they have a plan for how much money they have, and they don't just accept whatever amount they have."
"Why not switch to another bank? Or even a bank further away would be fine."
"puff!"
Seeing Chen Dong's innocent expression, Lin Zhiyuan smiled.
“You may not know that our place is a bit remote. It’s just across a river from Russia, and transportation is inconvenient. It’s not worthwhile to exchange money at a bank that’s far away. It doesn’t even cover the round-trip travel expenses.”
"Now you understand, right?"
"Chen Dong, based on your current income, even if the tea egg business really does decline as you say, you'll still have a considerable amount of capital saved up by then. We can look into other industries; it's better than wasting our time on this, don't you think?"
"Um!"
Chen Dong nodded, but his answer was somewhat irrelevant.
All he could think about was treasury bonds.
No wonder, it's exactly what his father, Chen Xuelin, said.
The root cause lies in the information gap.
Those who dabble in treasury bonds wouldn't expose this information.
Otherwise, where would you earn millions in assets?
However, those who were trading treasury bonds started at the end of 1988.
It has been a year now.
