As soon as Hu Yuan said that, Brother Sun and Sister Liu's expressions worsened.
They really didn't expect Hu Yuan to be so direct.
Although I really wanted to kick him out, I was worried that it would cause me trouble.
Having no other choice, Brother Sun had to bite the bullet and say, "Little Hu, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm powerless to do anything about it!"
Seeing that Hu Yuan was about to say something, he quickly added, "Anything I can help you with, Brother Sun, I will definitely do without hesitation, except for this matter..."
As soon as he said that, Sister Liu glared at him.
If someone asks you for money, would you help them?
Sister Liu's gaze made Brother Sun's heart tremble. He realized that he had spoken too boldly and could only shut his mouth awkwardly.
“Brother Sun, since you've put it that way, I understand. Then I won't trouble you with the work matter…”
As soon as Hu Yuan said that, the couple opposite him breathed a sigh of relief.
"but……"
The moment those two words, "reversal," were uttered, the two of them tensed up again.
"Since work isn't an option, I'd like to ask you for some other small favors."
"Could it really be that he needs to borrow money?" Sister Liu thought to herself, her eyes fixed on Hu Yuan, but she couldn't say anything.
"What small favor is it, Xiao Hu? Just tell me, as long as it's something I, Brother Sun, can help with..."
Before he could finish speaking, Brother Sun stopped abruptly, looking into his wife's eyes, his heart pounding wildly.
“Brother Sun, you can definitely help!” Without giving them a chance to back out, Hu Yuan continued, “It’s like this, I want to buy some things from Brother Sun and Sister Liu.”
"purchase?"
Sun and Liu were both taken aback, then looked at each other with puzzled expressions, because they really didn't understand what Hu Yuan meant.
"Brother Sun, Sister Liu, you must have treasury bonds, right? I want to buy your treasury bonds..."
"Treasury bonds?" Brother Sun was taken aback.
What do you need this for?
Hearing the question, Hu Yuan shook his head with a helpless expression, "Sigh... I'm helpless too! A couple of days ago, a friend of mine said he was collecting treasury bonds, and if I had any, I could sell them to him."
"Brother Sun, I have no choice! If I could find a job, I wouldn't want to do this, but the problem is I can't find one, so I have to think of some way to supplement my family's income, right?"
Upon hearing the words "job openings," both Brother Sun and Sister Liu felt a headache coming on, but fortunately, the other party didn't press the matter further.
"Are there any treasury bonds being bought now? I heard that even at 50% or 60% off, nobody wanted them?" Brother Sun quickly changed the subject, continuing Hu Yuan's question.
Hu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. As a minor leader in the forging factory, Brother Sun knew a thing or two about treasury bonds.
However, he only knew this much; he had no idea about the specifics of the current treasury bonds.
"Yeah, really no one wants it. I don't know why either. But since my buddy is willing to take it, I'm not going to worry about it too much," Hu Yuan said, shrugging.
"That's right, that's right! As long as someone buys it, it's better than no one buying it at all!" Sister Liu nodded, very happy.
"I just don't know, Xiao Hu, what discount are you planning to offer? Is it also 50% or 60%?"
Knowing that the useless scraps of paper in her hand could be exchanged for money, Sister Liu became excited and, ignoring everything else, directly pressed Hu Yuan for answers.
"My buddy offered me a 30% discount..."
Hu Yuan gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision, and said, "How about this, since Sister Liu and Wang Man have such a good relationship, and Brother Sun, you're such a generous person, I won't make any profit. I'll charge you 30% off, how about that?"
"Hiss... 30% off?"
Sun and Liu were both taken aback, because they never expected the purchase price of treasury bonds to be so high.
However, Brother Sun immediately waved his hand and said, "No need, no need! Xiao Hu, you're just earning a hard-earned living. If you give us a 30% discount, what's the point of making a profit? Just charge us 65%!"
For them, a 50-60% discount was already very good; they really didn't expect Hu Yuan to be able to raise the price so high.
"No, no! That won't do! Brother Sun and I hit it off immediately, so I'll treat you as a friend this time! Just do as I said, 30% off!" Hu Yuan waved his hand, looking very generous.
Seeing that her husband was about to say something more, Sister Liu quickly stopped him, afraid that he would give up the half-price discount.
"Alright, since you're so agreeable, Xiao Hu, let's do it your way!"
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry! I can't let you work for nothing, Xiao Hu!" Brother Sun said, shaking his head as if he felt bad.
"Brother Sun, don't feel bad about it. I had my own little scheme in mind..." Hu Yuan said with a chuckle.
"Brother Hu, what do you mean by this?" Brother Sun asked, puzzled.
"Brother Sun, I just hope you can pass on a message for me: if any of your relatives or friends want to sell treasury bonds, please come to me..."
"No problem! Xiao Hu, leave this to your brother Sun! Let me tell you, my colleagues all have a lot of treasury bonds, and they're worried about what to do with them. But they didn't have any connections before, and now that you're buying them, it solves their worries!" Brother Sun patted Hu Yuan on the shoulder and said happily.
"Yes, yes, yes! Your brother Sun can definitely help with this, otherwise he's really useless as a workshop director!" Sister Liu chimed in with a smile.
"Brother Sun, thank you so much!"
"Don't mention it, we're all family! Brother Sun isn't very capable and can't solve your work problems, but this little favor is no problem!"
"Brother Sun, then I'll have to trouble you! But I might not be able to offer them such a high price..."
"Of course, Brother Sun, I know what I'm doing, so don't worry!"
"That's fine then, thank you so much, Brother Sun. It's about those treasury bonds from your family..."
"That's it!" Brother Sun slapped his thigh and then said to his wife beside him, "Old Liu, quickly take out our treasury bonds and give them to Xiao Hu!"
"No problem, Xiao Hu, Xiao Man, wait a moment..."
Hu Yuan was secretly delighted when he saw the small dish of treasury bonds in Sister Liu's hand.
Although they are all fifty denominations, judging from their thickness, these treasury bonds must be at least two or three thousand dollars each.
After a moment's thought, Hu Yuan immediately put on a troubled expression.
Seeing his expression, Sister Liu's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Hu? Is there a problem?"
Hu Yuan quickly put on an embarrassed look and said, "Brother Sun, Sister Liu, I'm really a little embarrassed..."
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't expect your family to have so many treasury bonds. Judging from the appearance, there must be several thousand, right? I really don't have that much cash on hand..."
"Hey! Oh, so that's what it is! I thought it was something else! It's alright, Xiao Hu, take these treasury bonds for now. Just bring them to us after you get the money from your buddy!"
Brother Sun waved his hand, appearing quite forthright.
