"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Hu Yuan rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed.
"What's there to be embarrassed about! Xiaoman and I are colleagues, do you think I'd be afraid you'd run away?" Sister Liu replied with a smile.
"Alright! Since Brother Sun and Sister Liu are so agreeable, I, Hu Yuan, won't be coy either. Don't worry, I'll bring the money to you soon!"
...
Looking at the stack of treasury bonds in Hu Yuan's hand, Wang Man was truly incredulous.
"So that's how you got the treasury bonds?"
"What else can we do?" Hu Yuan smiled.
"Are you sure these treasury bonds can be exchanged for money?" Wang Man asked, still unconvinced.
Overjoyed, Hu Yuan suddenly pulled Wang Man close and excitedly said to her, "Not only can we exchange it for money, we can exchange it for a lot of money, haha!"
The hot breath that Hu Yuan exhaled was like a heat wave, directly hitting Wang Man's face.
Embarrassed and annoyed, Wang Man's face flushed red, and her whole body went limp, as if she couldn't stand up.
However, she quickly realized what was happening, pushed Hu Yuan away, and looked very nervous.
Hu Yuan realized that his behavior had been a bit too reckless, but at this moment, his joy far outweighed everything else.
"Oh right, that's not enough. We need to find more. This time I'm planning to go to Pujiang; the treasury bond repurchase price is higher there!"
“Pujiang?” Upon hearing this place name, Wang Man was completely stunned.
For her, the Huangpu River and Beijing existed only in radio broadcasts and books; they were too far away.
Huangpu, in particular, is said to be a truly great city, not only very prosperous, but also home to many foreigners.
How wonderful it would be if I could visit Huangpu River once...
Wang Man thought to herself.
As if reading Wang Man's mind, Hu Yuan patted her shoulder and smiled, "Want to go to Huangpu?"
"No...nobody, nobody wants to go...that place is so expensive, what would I do there..." Wang Man blushed and immediately shook her head in denial, refusing to admit her own expectations.
"Don't worry! You'll be able to go to Pujiang soon. Once I've made my first fortune, I'll take you and your daughter there. We can even move there and never come back!" Hu Yuan said with a hearty laugh.
After breaking free from Hu Yuan's grasp, Wang Man looked bewildered.
But she quickly replied, "Move to Pujiang? How could that be possible..."
“Nothing is impossible! In the next thirty years, Pujiang will experience rapid development, and that will be my stage!” Hu Yuan clenched his fist and waved it fiercely.
Wang Man was stunned by Hu Yuan's confident demeanor.
Because Hu Yuan at this moment was not the person she knew at all; it was like the same body, but with a different soul...
In one night, Wang Man took Hu Yuan to the homes of seven or eight colleagues.
Because Wang Man was usually honest in the factory, these people were willing to trust her and gave them the treasury bonds they had on credit.
After picking up Tuantuan, who was already fast asleep, from Aunt Zhang's house downstairs, Hu Yuan began to tally up the day's achievements.
"Thirteen thousand two!"
After counting the treasury bonds in his hand, Hu Yuan shouted excitedly.
In his previous life, Hu Yuan wouldn't have been moved even if it were ten million, let alone ten thousand.
But for him at this moment, 13,200 yuan would be a great stepping stone, allowing him to quickly get out of his current embarrassing situation.
"What are you yelling about? You'll wake Tuantuan up again..." Wang Man wasn't as agitated as Hu Yuan. Instead, she rolled her eyes and scolded him reproachfully.
Hu Yuan quickly shut his mouth and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Seeing his comical appearance, Wang Man burst out laughing.
Unexpectedly, Wang Man's voice, appearance, and smile once again stunned Hu Yuan.
"So beautiful... You should smile more often, you're really too beautiful..." Hu Yuan said to Wang Man in a daze.
Wang Man blushed, her face turning as red as a blooming peach blossom. Then she lowered her head and said timidly, "All you do is talk nonsense all day long, you have no sense of propriety..."
"I'm innocent!" Hu Yuan helplessly shrugged, indicating that he was not lying.
"Never mind, I'm not going to tell you anymore... By the way, do you think we should continue collecting these treasury bonds?" Wang Man suddenly changed the subject.
"Of course I want it!" Hu Yuan nodded firmly.
He then said, "This matter will probably spread throughout your factory tomorrow. I think someone will definitely ask you about it tomorrow."
"Huh? You mean someone will come looking for me on their own?"
"Needless to say? This is a chance to make money, of course they won't let it pass. Besides, the exchange rate for these treasury bonds is usually 50% or 60% off, but I'm giving them an extra 50% off, who would pass up such a good opportunity!" Hu Yuan said confidently.
"If you don't offer them cash in hand, will they really agree to this?"
“Those who are willing will naturally be willing! You must remember to stick to the 65% discount and not change your mind. Also, you must get the treasury bonds first, and then give them the money a few days later.”
"And don't worry, as long as we give the money to these people, even more people will come knocking on our door. After all, they won't let go of a chance to make a living..."
...
"Hey, did you hear? Yesterday, Wang Man took her man to several colleagues' houses..."
"What are you going to your colleague's house for? To borrow money?"
"Borrow money? With her man, who's always drinking, gambling, and womanizing, who would be willing to lend them money?"
"No, no, no, you're all wrong this time. They didn't go to borrow money; they went to deliver money!"
"Give them money? With their family's situation, you want to give them money? You're not kidding, are you?"
"That's right. Looking at Wang Man and her daughter, they don't have any nice clothes and always look pale and sickly. How could they possibly have money to give away?"
"Hey, why would I lie to you? It was her man who insisted that she take him to our colleagues' houses to buy their treasury bonds. Don't you think that counts as giving money away?"
"Buy treasury bonds? Are they crazy! Our treasury bonds are all forcibly allocated, supposedly national debt, and the government will repurchase them with interest. But look at them now? Forget the original price, nobody wants them even at 50% or 60% of the original price. Why would they buy treasury bonds?"
"Yeah, isn't that just crazy?"
"Are you sick? Heh, let me tell you, there's something even more interesting. Do you know what price they bought it for?"
What's the price?
"65% off!"
"What? This thing can actually be sold at 65% off?"
"Yeah! Something that we couldn't even give away, Wang Man's man actually bought at a 65% discount? Isn't that crazy?"
"Hey, do you guys think it's possible that these treasury bonds can be sold now, and at a high price?" someone suddenly guessed.
"impossible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone waved his hand.
