I'm going out tomorrow.
At the dining table, Hu Yuan put down his bowl and stared at Wang Man as he spoke.
"Go out? Where are you going?"
As soon as Hu Yuan finished speaking, Wang Man's heart tightened, and she looked at the man in front of her with a tense expression.
Hu Yuan noticed Wang Man's nervousness and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not going to hang out with those guys. I'm planning to go to the provincial capital."
"Going to the provincial capital? What for?"
Hu Yuan took out the treasury bonds from his pocket and waved them at Wang Man.
"For this."
"Treasury bonds, what does that mean?"
“These treasury bonds have a face value of four hundred and fifty yuan. I’ve calculated that they can be exchanged for at least four hundred and fifty yuan,” Hu Yuan said with certainty.
"Exchange money?!"
Wang Man was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "Are you kidding me? How could this thing be exchanged for money? Four hundred and fifty yuan? You're just dreaming!"
Wang Man, who only has a primary school education, doesn't understand these things, and she has no interest in the national policies mentioned in the news.
In addition, their small county town was isolated from the outside world, so no one knew that treasury bonds were allowed to be transferred.
In Wang Man's and her coworkers' view, this thing was just a task certificate forcibly assigned by the state, and had no other function.
"Trust me, there's absolutely no problem this time. I'll definitely get the money back!" Hu Yuan said to Wang Man with great determination.
"But……"
She wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Wang Man swallowed her words.
"Forget it, let him go to the provincial capital if he wants. It's better than hanging out with those shady friends..." Wang Man comforted herself.
She didn't think Hu Yuan could get anything out of these few worthless treasury bonds; she just felt that as long as he didn't do anything reckless, everything would be fine.
"Oh, right! I asked Sister Liu from our factory to help you find a job today. Her husband is a workshop foreman at the forging factory, and he might be able to find you a temporary job. It's only temporary, but the benefits at the forging factory are quite good!"
Hu Yuan was taken aback; he hadn't expected Wang Man to actually help him find a job.
He wanted to postpone it immediately, but seeing how excited she was, Hu Yuan couldn't bear to interrupt her excitement.
"Once I get the money back, maybe she won't think that way anymore..." Hu Yuan thought to himself.
...
At Wang Man's insistence, Hu Yuan had no choice but to get into the car with a few boiled eggs.
Hu Yuan lives in a county called Jiangkou, which is a two-hour drive from Jinshi, the provincial capital.
Although he had never been to Jin City in this life, Hu Yuan was very familiar with the place thirty years later.
The gold market at this time and the gold market in the future are naturally very different, but the basic streets have not changed much.
After making inquiries, Hu Yuan quickly found the neighborhood where Jinshi Financial Securities was located.
Looking at the low-rise buildings around him, Hu Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
"My path to success in this lifetime begins here!" Hu Yuan thought to himself with a bold statement.
Looking around at the securities company branches, Hu Yuan shook his head.
Many people are unaware of the intricacies of treasury bonds and believe that they should be sold to securities companies, but Hu Yuan is very clear about them.
Securities companies are just middlemen; according to regulations, these treasury bonds ultimately flow into banks.
The prices offered by banks are much higher than those offered by securities companies.
Knowing the inside story, Hu Yuan did not hesitate and went straight to the securities department of the Bank of China.
When the clerk received the treasury bonds from Hu Yuan, she immediately curled her lip in disapproval.
"You dare to sell just a few treasury bonds? Don't you know that tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars come and go here every day? What a waste of time!"
The saleswoman's tone was disdainful, because in her eyes, Hu Yuan, who looked rustic, was just a country bumpkin, and she really didn't want to talk to him.
Hu Yuan was unconcerned about the other party's attitude. Knowing the fickleness of human nature, he said nonchalantly, "So what if I have fewer treasury bonds? The government has issued a document that banks cannot refuse to accept treasury bonds! Even if I only have ten yuan, you have to exchange them for me today!"
The sales clerk was truly surprised by Hu Yuan's attitude.
You have to understand, these days banks are high-ranking state-owned enterprises, and ordinary people are very humble in banks. They don't even dare to speak loudly, let alone act as arrogantly as Hu Yuan.
"What kind of attitude is this! You dare to yell at me here? Believe me, I'll have someone throw you out right now, and I won't give you a single penny in return!"
The sales clerk, who had never been treated with such humiliation, stood up abruptly and shouted angrily at Hu Yuan.
Faced with the other party's demeanor, Hu Yuan remained unmoved, simply staring at him in a cold voice and saying, "Is this how the Bank of China in Jinshi provides service? What is the bank's mission? It's to serve the people. If everyone acts like you, I think it's necessary for me to suggest to the higher-ups that you be given appropriate disciplinary action!"
As he said this, his entire demeanor changed, giving the salesperson the feeling that the person opposite him was unfathomable.
"Who...who are you...This is the Bank of China, a state-owned institution. If you keep causing trouble, I'll call the police..."
It was obvious that Hu Yuan was extraordinary, especially the things he said, which were things that a country bumpkin would never know.
However, the salesperson didn't know the other party's identity and couldn't bring herself to confront them, so she had to force herself to maintain her composure and not be overwhelmed by their imposing manner.
"Hmph! A state-owned enterprise? You've completely disgraced the state-owned enterprise! Go and call your leader here! I want to see how he disciplines his subordinates!"
Hu Yuan slammed his hand on the table and shouted coldly.
The angry shout startled the other person, who shivered. The sales clerk tried to argue back, but was pulled back by a male colleague who walked over.
"Comrade, please don't be angry. Tell me what's wrong. There are some things she doesn't know."
This male colleague was around forty years old, wearing a Zhongshan suit with four pockets, and looked like a junior leader.
"Are you her boss?" Hu Yuan glanced at him and asked directly.
"That's right, I'm the deputy director of the securities department, and my surname is Chen. May I ask who you are, sir?"
Director Chen's attitude was noticeably better, but he was more interested in finding out Hu Yuan's true identity.
In this situation, Hu Yuan naturally understood the other party's meaning, but he had no real status and his interpretation couldn't withstand scrutiny.
So he didn't answer the other person's question, but instead said sternly, "Since you are her superior, let me ask you, didn't you receive the documents regarding treasury bonds issued by the ministries and the head office this year?!"
Seeing the other party's aggressive demeanor, which was completely in the style of a superior leader, Director Chen felt a little uneasy.
