"After hearing about this, I went to the credit union early this morning to ask if they accepted treasury bonds, but they completely ignored me!"
"Since no one's going to take it, what would Wang Man's husband do with it? He can't possibly use it for cooking at home..."
"By the way, have those people who sold treasury bonds received their money yet?"
"I don't think so. They said they'd give them the money once they got it. After all, those treasury bonds aren't worth much, and Wang Man is from here, she can't escape..."
The morning at the chemical plant began with discussions about what had happened the previous night…
The news about Hu Yuan buying treasury bonds spread like wildfire, and soon most people in the factory knew about it.
Some people kept mocking, some were eager to make a move, and some secretly suspected.
Everyone was very curious about this matter, especially since it involved such a beautiful woman as Wang Man and her despicable man...
"Hey Lao Liu, are you out of your mind?"
As soon as Sister Liu entered the workshop, Old Cai ran over and started yelling at her.
"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning?" Sister Liu was quite helpless with her old friend.
"What else? Did you give your family's treasury bonds to Wang Man's husband yesterday?" Old Cai asked anxiously.
"Yes," Sister Liu nodded.
“How could you give this to her man? You know what kind of person he is. What if he starts harassing your family because of this?” Old Cai said earnestly.
"It's just treasury bonds, what could it possibly cause... These things are practically unsellable. If he could actually get a couple of dollars, I'd be thanking him profusely!" Sister Liu said nonchalantly.
"Exchange for two coins? Wang Man's man? I don't believe it even if you beat me to death! Even if pigs could fly, I don't believe that hoodlum could do anything worthwhile!" Old Cai said with a look of disdain.
"Hey, Lao Cai, you know what, it's lucky we had these treasury bonds yesterday, otherwise it would have been really difficult to handle..." Sister Liu said to her, shaking her head.
"What's difficult to handle?"
Then Sister Liu told Old Cai about what happened yesterday.
"Wang Man, your man is accepting treasury bonds?"
While Sister Liu and Lao Cai were chatting, someone had already approached Wang Man.
"Yes, Sister Zhao, you also want to sell treasury bonds?" Looking at the person who came, Wang Man finally believed what Hu Yuan had said last night.
"I'm interested, but I don't know the price..."
“The price is 65% of the face value of the treasury bonds!” Following Hu Yuan’s instructions from yesterday, Wang Man nodded and smiled.
Upon hearing the price, Sister Zhao across the table was overjoyed. She had initially thought they were just chatting casually, but it turned out to be a real price.
"However, Sister Zhao, although this is the price, we can't pay in cash. We'll have to wait a few days to get the money," Wang Man added.
"Oh..." Sister Zhao nodded, clearly already aware of the situation.
"By the way, Wang Man, may I ask you something? What are you going to do with the treasury bonds your husband received?" Sister Zhao asked curiously.
"I'm not too sure about that either, but Hu Yuan said that a friend of his is doing this right now, and he's just helping out a little, doing some odd jobs or something. As for the rest, we don't know anything else..."
"Oh, I see." Sister Zhao nodded, then said, "Can I bring the treasury bonds from home this afternoon?"
"No problem, I'll do it whenever you have time. But I have to tell you, you need to hurry. My husband, Hu Yuan, said that the quantity available for this acquisition is limited. If it's too late, you'll miss this opportunity..."
This was the explanation Hu Yuan had prepared long ago. Although Wang Man was a little embarrassed at first, she still had to bite the bullet and say it since the other party had already asked.
"Huh? There are restrictions on this?"
"Of course, there are so many treasury bonds; they can't possibly collect them all. You understand, right..."
Upon hearing this, Sister Zhao nodded repeatedly, then said nervously, "Okay, okay. I understand! I'll contact the person back home right away and have them send the treasury bonds over as soon as possible..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Sister Zhao hurriedly left.
Wang Man was stunned as she watched the other person's back.
"He was right about everything...this..."
What was happening before her eyes was exactly the same as Hu Yuan's prediction, leaving Wang Man completely confused.
I only vaguely remember Hu Yuan using a few terms, like "hunger marketing" and "seller's market" or "buyer's market"...
In just one morning, more than a dozen colleagues came to see Wang Man.
These people don't usually contact her, but at this moment they all share a common goal: treasury bonds.
When Wang Man was leaving get off work in the afternoon, she felt like her hand was about to fall off.
On one hand, they had to count the treasury bonds, and on the other hand, they had to keep records.
For someone with only a primary school education, doing these things was not easy at all.
Carrying a large bag of treasury bonds, Wang Man estimated that it must weigh more than ten kilograms.
Just as she was about to go home with Tuantuan, a voice suddenly called out to her from behind.
"Wang Man, wait a moment."
It was a clear, melodious female voice, gentle yet powerful.
"Section Chief Feng, is there anything I can help you with?"
The visitor was the head of the sales department, a young woman who had just been assigned to the chemical plant a little over a year ago.
According to them, the woman has a proper vocational school diploma and previously worked in the county's economic and trade office before being transferred to their chemical factory.
Although the woman in front of her was one of the five beauties of the chemical factory, just like herself, Wang Man felt inferior to her.
Because the other person is not only younger and prettier than me, but also very good at dressing up, and her clothes and hair accessories are very fashionable.
These are things she cannot achieve.
The two usually had no interaction, and they just didn't know why the other would suddenly contact them today.
"Wang Man, I heard you received treasury bonds at the factory today, is that right?"
Wang Man was filled with confusion. Could it be that the other party was also here to sell treasury bonds?
Without thinking much about it, Wang Man nodded subconsciously.
"May I ask what you plan to do with these treasury bonds you bought?"
"I'm not too sure about this either, my man told me to accept it..."
"Oh? Your man asked you to accept it. Does he have some inside channels for handling this?" Section Chief Feng asked, looking at the other party with curiosity.
Seeing that the other party was relentlessly pursuing her, Wang Man had no choice but to repeat what Hu Yuan had taught her.
After listening to Wang Man's description, Section Chief Feng did not respond immediately, but remained silent for a while.
Seeing the other person's appearance, Wang Man dared not call out to her, nor did she dare to turn around and leave. She could only stand there blankly, supporting Tuantuan.
After a while, Section Chief Feng finally woke up, but by then a slight smile had appeared on her lips.
"Thank you, Wang Man!"
