The revolution in Iraq, the hostage crisis and the Russian invasion of other countries, all of these events accumulated in just six months, have undoubtedly had a huge impact.
Just as the whole world was shrouded in the shadow of war, more and more military experts from various countries began to exclaim that the Third World War was coming.
It is still unknown whether the Third World War, which has been shouted about for several months, will come or not, but the price of oil has indeed skyrocketed at an incredible speed.
This time, Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing did not reveal a word to the outside world. They had already exchanged gold for oil.
Not only them, but also Yi Jiefang and the other four who knew about it, did not even reveal the slightest clue to their parents and wives.
You asked Zhou Jiao how she knew that?
Because these four guys have gone crazy!
"Sister, you said you made so much money, why do I feel so insecure? If I tell your sister-in-law, will she faint?"
Yi Jiefang frowned exaggeratedly, but if the smile on his face wasn't so dazzling, Zhou Jiao would have really believed it!
"Hahaha... My wife was hesitating a while ago whether to buy first-grade or second-grade cabbage. How much cabbage can I buy?"
Zhou Jiao glanced at Ding Datou with contempt.
——How can a grown man like you understand that being in charge of a household requires steady and long-term efforts?
"Don't even mention cabbage. I'm sick of it, but I can't live without it. Life is miserable. A while ago, I had half a carload of seasonal fruits and vegetables shipped to me from the south. It's arriving this weekend. Remember to come back and find a car to pick it up."
As the stationmaster of the railway station, Geng Dazhi has some convenient conditions.
Whenever a sealed tank truck carrying consigned goods has one or half a carriage empty on its return journey, their unit always prepares some specialties to distribute as holiday and year-end benefits.
This year, he had the opportunity, so he shamelessly asked for half a carload. His grandfather had many old friends, and his father also had many good friends, plus an uncle, three aunts, and three uncles and two aunts.
If it’s less, there won’t be enough points!
Wan Dayong gave Geng Dazhi a thumbs-up and said, "Great, you're really rich!"
"That's right. Back when I was in school and drank that dark porridge, I made a wish that I would never lack food in my life."
"Hahaha... Now that I think about it, it's quite amusing. Should we have a meal someday to remember the bitter past and cherish the sweet past?"
"Go! Go! Go! You keep giving bad advice. Now that we have money, we can eat fried dough sticks and drink soy milk. I want two bowls of soy milk, one for each."
"Look at what you have accomplished!"
"Oh, you're richer and more powerful, so what if you still look down on me?"
"Don't say Dayong looks down on me, I despise you too! Why do you want two buns? Eat one and throw the other away?"
"Wow, you're so lucky, just throw it to me."
“…”
Seeing that the five of them were chatting happily, Zhou Jiao left some space for them and went into the study on the first floor which was exclusively for her and Zhang Guoqing.
In the past two years, the bookshelves in my study have been filled with a lot of foreign books and miscellaneous materials. If you look closely, you can see that there are all kinds of international language versions.
In addition to some that Zhou Jiao collected when she went abroad, a large part of them were purchased by Miao Tianming through his cousins living around the world.
In fact, Zhang Guoqing knew more about many things in it than she did. After all, he majored in business administration in his previous life and also took finance as an elective.
During college, she worked in a securities exchange and ventured into the stock market. From the beginning to the end when she graduated and stayed on to work at the school, she was inseparable from foreign languages.
Fortunately, I stayed with him for a long time, and under his influence, I also learned some finance from him when I was bored.
However, after all, the times are different and the environment is also different. If you really want to make up your mind to invest in the financial market, relying on memory and that little knowledge is still not enough.
Today, finance in universities across the country is still in its infancy, and the old professors who have returned from overseas have become out of touch with international thinking due to the turmoil.
There is no way to actually do it. They focus more on theory and don’t care whether you can do it or not. As long as you pass the exam, it’s fine. Some foreign books mostly describe the specific operations.
Relatively speaking, foreign schools focus more on practice.
To put it simply: as long as you can create value, it's fine, even if you don't have any theory.
What Zhou Jiao lacks most at the moment is practice.
Wuyi was flipping through a book and smiled when she came in. "Mom, why don't you listen to their conversation outside?"
"Come and keep you company." Zhou Jiao didn't say she wasn't interested in their small talk. "Your brother and the others aren't home yet. Will you be bored at home alone?"
"No, it's a good time to read." Wuyi showed a trace of annoyance on his face, "You don't know, I don't even have a quiet time to read at school now."
Zhou Jiao frowned, "What's going on?"
"Ever since I became president of the student union, I've been so busy. I'm thinking about stepping back and leaving my name behind. Wouldn't it be better to just leave a name behind?"
Zhou Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Whatever you want to decide is fine. Mom supports you."
"Mom is always the best." Wuyi raised the books in his hand and said, "Mom, I recently audited a few finance classes and found them quite interesting."
Zhou Jiao looked at him suspiciously, "You're not going to challenge me again, are you?"
Wuyi chuckled for a moment, "Mom, what are you thinking? Your son is not a challenge maniac."
Zhou Jiao didn't quite believe her son's words, but she also believed that he had plans for his future. She changed the subject, "Are you still planning to go to the military camp when winter vacation starts?"
"No, my brother and the others are all on duty at school this year. We agreed to spend the New Year at home with you."
Zhou Jiao smiled brightly upon hearing this. "That's great! Winter vacation should be here in a month or so, right?"
"almost."
"Then when you have your holiday, we will prepare New Year's goods together. It just so happens that money from outside will be remitted in a while and can be exchanged for a lot of overseas remittance coupons. Is there anything you want to buy?"
When he heard his mother mention overseas remittance coupons, Wuyi immediately remembered two things he had forgotten to mention.
The first is the overseas remittance voucher that my mother just mentioned.
It's rumored that they're going to start withdrawing from the market and will be replaced with foreign exchange certificates, which are more convenient to use. They've all been printed now and will be ready for unified use in the spring.
There was one more thing, which wasn't very important, but since the three brothers were interested in stamp collecting, it naturally became very important.
According to his friend who is the third generation of postal workers and came from the General Post Office.
The first edition of the zodiac monkey stamps will be issued on New Year's Eve. This first-day cover features a specially commissioned monkey illustration and was designed by the chief stamp designer himself.
So, as the first stamp entering the new year of the 1980s, it is of such great significance, shouldn't he collect more?
Zhou Jiao chuckled to herself when she heard her son say this. Not only was it of great significance, but its financial potential was also enormous. It was practically the beginning of a new era in the philatelic market.
This first set of new stamps has a strong leading effect. In the near future, it will be a landmark collection for Chinese philatelists and a bellwether for the philatelic market.
