Jiang Shiyue held the old cloth bag that Director Yu found for her with satisfaction.
It turns out that it’s easy to make money these days.
Although the amount doesn’t sound large, the prices are low!
Ten thousand yuan can buy a courtyard house in Beijing!

Chen Shanhe went to the department store to pick up Jiang Shiyue. From a distance, he saw her smiling, as if she had picked up money.
Chen Shanhe stopped in front of her and, using his height advantage, pressed down on her head. "You're in such a good mood?! It looks like the conversation went well!"
"That's right!" Jiang Shiyue raised her eyebrows proudly, "Don't you see who I am?! Let me tell you, from now on I'm a millionaire! You're the man of a millionaire! Come on, I'll treat you to a feast."
Chen Shanhe helped Jiang Shiyue carry the bag, weighed the weight in his hand, paused, opened the cloth bag and took a look inside, and exclaimed, "Wow!"
Only then did I realize that Jiang Shiyue's ten thousand yuan fortune was not exaggerated at all. "Why is there so much money?!"
Are those clothes so valuable?
"It's not the clothes that are valuable, it's the trends and fashion! As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable."
It’s like a new mobile phone that sells for 10,000 yuan when it’s first launched. After a year or two, it’s still the same phone, but the price may have been halved.
The same goes for clothes.
The latest styles are of course in short supply and therefore more expensive. Once they become commonplace, you can only sell them at a low profit margin.
After all, it was all thanks to the golden finger.
Jiang Shiyue patted the outside of the cloth bag twice, feeling a little distressed. "In fact, it was just a passing transaction. Some of this money still needs to be given away."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'm an individual. How could a department store do business with an individual? They only do business with each other, and they need invoices for purchases. I need to find Director Chen and ask him to help sign a contract with the department store in the name of the garment factory and provide invoices. Of course, I'll pay the taxes."
Before the tax law reform in 1994, the tax standard for large state-owned enterprises was over 55%, and there were eight levels of taxation for small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises or collective enterprises, ranging from 10% to 55%.
The small garment factory where Director Chen works is on the verge of bankruptcy and has long been paying only the minimum tax.
That is, ten percent of gross revenue after deducting costs.
Based on the six yuan cost of a uniform for Director Chen, he would have to pay about six hundred yuan in taxes.
Of course, Jiang Shiyue wasn't an accountant, so he could only estimate. The specific amount depended on what the garment factory's finances said. It was probably around a thousand yuan.
There is nothing much to say about this. As a citizen, paying taxes is a basic obligation.
This operation was already Director Yu's way of currying favor with her and giving her the green light.
That's why she quietly placed the "thank you gift" on Director Yu's desk.
Of course, one will also be prepared for Director Chen.
Jiang Shiyue estimated that he could still have 9,000 yuan left, with a little over 1,000 yuan on him and 6,000 yuan in his passbook.
A total of 16,000 yuan.
A definitely wealthy woman in her 70s.
Oh, this does not include the 500 yuan living expenses given to the father and son.
Chen Shanhe nodded, a little puzzled: "The department store settled the bill so quickly? They let you take the money and leave without even delivering your invoice?"
As far as he knew, in business dealings like this, the money would not be collected so quickly.
Jiang Shiyue nodded. "Yes. It was Director Yu who gave me the green light. Director Yu knew I was going to Huacheng University soon, so he gave me special approval. Otherwise, I would have to wait for Director Chen to send the invoice and for the finance department to give the money to Director Chen before I could go to Director Chen to get the money. Instead of giving me the money first and then letting me go to Director Chen with it."
"Then we must thank them properly when we get back."
"Well. Let's talk about it when I'm on vacation." Jiang Shiyue didn't mention it because she was afraid that a gentleman like Chen Shanhe would not be able to accept her directly giving him a cash red envelope.

The most upscale restaurant in Yincheng is a Western restaurant.
Jiang Shiyue didn't expect that her first date in two lives would be to have Western food with Chen Shanhe.
The Western restaurant in 1978 cannot be compared with the one decades later, but its decoration is better than most state-owned restaurants around it.
Western restaurants are often associated with romance, but some people are not destined to be romantic.
For example, Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe has been eating from a big pot ever since he can remember.
I eat it at home and I eat it when I’m in the army.
A white porcelain bowl can hold soup or vegetables. A pair of chopsticks can pick up peanuts or large bones.
It's nothing like Western food, which seems to have degenerated. People use knives and forks to cut food, and even pay attention to how well done they want their steak.
Western food portions are often not very large, at least not for Chen Shanhe.
A steak is just enough to fill your stomach, but it is so expensive.
Jiang Shiyue has been with Chen Shanhe for so long that she knows how much he eats, but if Chen Shanhe doesn't let her eat more, she will say she is not hungry.
Even if ordinary people become rich overnight, they will not suddenly change their consumption habits.
What’s more, the person who became rich overnight was not Chen Shanhe himself.
Jiang Shiyue also put down his knife and fork.
Finally, after eating Western food, the two went to a small restaurant next door and ordered a bowl of noodles each.
Jiang Shiyue was afraid that if she didn’t eat it, Chen Shanhe would not eat it either.
Looking at Chen Shanhe eating noodles with big mouthfuls, Jiang Shiyue smiled.
Some people are just suited to living in the mundane world.
After the two finished their meal, they went shopping for a while.
Jiang Shiyue bought a TV.
She still bought the tickets from a dealer, which meant that while others would buy a TV for 300 yuan, she bought one for 600 yuan.
The TV is black and white.
The colorful ones are sold at the Friendship Store, and they require foreign exchange coupons.
Ticket scalpers have very few foreign exchange coupons and the price is not high enough.
He went to see Guo Qingyuan again and asked him to help buy two more pigs and two sheep in the village.
Guo Qingyuan said that he would be sent to the compound after dark.
There may be a new round of strict inspections recently, and you may be easily inspected if you walk during the day.
Private trading of pigs and sheep will result in the arrest.
Jiang Shiyue was a little helpless. There were so many people in the battalion headquarters that even if he bought all the meat tickets from the ticket scalpers, it would not be enough for food and drink for all the soldiers in the battalion. He had no choice but to take a risk.
Of course, all this was kept secret from Chen Shanhe.
When she went to see Guo Qingyuan, she sent Chen Shanhe to buy books for Yangyang.
After giving the money to Guo Qingyuan, Jiang Shiyue patted his empty pocket and sighed: "Money is really a good thing!"
After going through all this trouble, I lost 1,500 yuan.
It feels so good to spend money like water!
It just hurts a bit.
**
Before returning to the compound, Jiang Shiyue went to the bank and withdrew all the 6,000 yuan he had saved at once.
Chen Shanhe frowned, "What do you want so much money for?"
If you carry more than 10,000 yuan on the train, won’t you become a sitting duck?
Thieves will come if they smell the smell.
"I want to start a small business in Huacheng." Jiang Shiyue evaded the main point, "I need capital."
"I can send it to you."
"There's definitely no problem remitting three or two hundred yuan. But how much handling fee will it cost to directly remit more than ten thousand yuan?" Jiang Shiyue was a little reluctant.
It's not that she is stingy, it's mainly because at the current stage, if you withdraw money across regions and banks, the handling fees can turn a person with a ten thousand yuan account back into a person with a thousand yuan account.
Even remittances are not cheap.
No wonder everyone carries money with them these days.
