Chapter 9: Hillbilly
There is no railway station in Nanhui County, and if you want to take the train, you must go to Linyang City, Dai Zhenjiang made a phone call, and in just a few minutes, someone at Linyang Station bought the ticket, and Zhou Ming took Su Han to Linyang Station by car.
In the waiting room, Zhou Ming and Su Han were waiting for the train to Jiangxia City, and Su Han asked Zhou Ming: "Zhou Ming, can that classmate of yours in Jiangxia really help you raise the interest rate on treasury bills to one and a half cents?"
Zhou Ming smiled, he knew that Su Han must have wanted to ask this question for a long time, but the bumps along the way and Su Han's motion sickness were a little there, so he didn't ask, and now sitting in the waiting room to rest for a while, she naturally asked the doubts in her heart. But Zhou Ming didn't answer her, but asked her rhetorically: "Do you know what is the difference between the treasury bills in different places?"
Su Han looked at Zhou Ming in a daze and said, "Different? Aren't all treasury bills issued by the state? How can there be differences?"
"Of course, the purpose of the Treasury Bills is to support national construction, and because the development of the economy is different in different places, the interest rate on Treasury bills that can be paid is also different. Zhou Ming said, "Jiangxia is the center of the entire Midwest Exhibition, and it is also the place with the greatest national support. ”
Su Han suddenly realized something: "Zhou Ming, do you mean that the interest rate on treasury bills here in Jiangxia City will be higher than that in Nanhui County?
"Yes, the interest rate on Jiangxia's side can reach about one dime and seven cents. Zhou Ming said, in fact, Zhou Ming did not have any classmates in Jiangxia City, his judgment was completely from the memory of his previous life, if it weren't for Zhou Ming still remembering his father's illness that might explode at any time, he would want to go to Binhai City, which has the highest interest rate, to exchange huàn treasury bills, and it is said that the interest rate over there is incredibly close to two cents. It is precisely because of this kind of unsurprising interest rate savings in various places that a person became a millionaire in less than a year by constantly reselling treasury bills between two places with different interest rates.
"But...... It is also the treasury bills of the state bank, why is there such a big difference in interest rates?" Su Han couldn't understand.
"This is the market economy," Zhou Ming said, "if there are many people buying a thing, his price will naturally be high, on the contrary, if a thing has been unattended, then he will naturally not have any price." ”
And the most important point is that Zhou Ming did not tell Su Han that the banks in various places have not yet formed a network system, there is no contact between banks in various places, and the central government cannot regulate and control them, so there will be a situation where the interest rates of treasury bills are different in various places. When the banks are connected to each other in the future, this situation will no longer exist, but considering the limitations of Su Han's times, Zhou Ming will not tell her those words that she doesn't understand, as long as she can make her believe that she will definitely make money.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Ming and Su Han boarded the train to Jiangxia, and after ten hours of travel, they finally arrived at Jiangxia Station.
"Damn, this train is so slow, it's a waste of the day!"
Zhou Ming scolded and walked off the train, at this time, he missed the high-speed rail of later generations, because if it was a high-speed rail, it would only take two hours to arrive, and now it would take ten hours to take the train, fortunately it was a sleeper, or Zhou Ming really felt that he was going to be torn apart, of course, the most important thing is that it was already night when they arrived in Jiangxia,
took the bank's business trip expenses from Dai Zhenjiang, and Zhou Ming took Su Han to live in a good hotel in Jiangxia City in line with the principle of not using public funds.
However, this is good compared to this era, in Zhou Ming's eyes, the environment of this hotel is similar to that of ordinary hotels in later generations. But that's it, it still makes Su Han feel very restrained, she followed Zhou Ming to the room, looking at the white sheets, Su Han didn't dare to touch them, for fear that the dust on her body would stain the clean sheets.
Looking at Su Han like this, Zhou Ming explained to her: "You can sleep with confidence, since we have paid, don't worry, the hotel people will wash the sheets every day, it doesn't matter if you just take the sheets and shine your shoes." ”
This explanation made Su Han very incomprehensible, but Zhou Ming didn't explain too much, after all, it is not an overnight thing to change the concept of the past.
The ten-hour journey made Zhou Ming and Su Han very tired, so they soon fell asleep in their respective rooms, until the next morning, Su Han got used to getting up early, and came to knock on Zhou Ming's door at seven o'clock and dragged Zhou Ming up from his dream.
At half past seven, Zhou Ming washed up and went downstairs with Su Han for breakfast, and after the meal, Zhou Ming took Su Han to walk on the Yangtze River for a while, and at nine o'clock, Zhou Ming took Su Han to the bank.
"Haha! It seems that we are lucky, Jiangxia only raised the interest rate on treasury bills yesterday. Zhou Ming said happily, and in front of him, a sign hung up by the bank said that the interest rate on treasury bills had been raised to 18%.
In this regard, Su Han stared at the boss with a pair of wonderful eyes, even if Zhou Ming explained the interest rate to her, she was already mentally prepared, but she still couldn't understand why the interest rates of Jiangxia and Nanhui would differ by six to seven cents. But this is not the scope of Su Han's consideration, she just thinks that Zhou Ming is really good, and he deserves to be a college student.
After a while, Zhou Ming came out and said happily to Su Han: "Xiao Han is so good, we have a total of more than 41,000 yuan, deducting the principal and the interest to be given to Director Dai, and we have earned more than 6,000 yuan." ”
Su Han was so surprised that her pink little mouth opened into an O-shape, which made Zhou Ming hate to hug her and kiss her fiercely, Su Han couldn't imagine why Zhou Ming just ran from Linyang to Jiangxia, and actually earned more than 6,000 yuan.
6,000 yuan, that's 6,000 yuan! If you work in a factory, it will take you years to earn so much money, and this money is too easy to earn, right?
Zhou Ming saw what Su Han was thinking, and said to her: "It's not difficult to make money, as long as you have complete information and dare to do it, just like Xiaohan, you opened a restaurant in the factory before, but the name is different from others, and your hotel's business is better than other places." ”
Su Han nodded heavily, and looked at Zhou Ming's eyes full of admiration, because Su Han understood that although Zhou Ming's words were light, as long as he dared to make a move, he could make money, but he could see the business opportunities contained in these information, and believe in his own judgment, and dare to borrow usury to do this business, I am afraid that Zhou Ming is the only one.
After the thing was done, there was no need for them to continue to stay in Jiangxia, so they bought a train ticket back to Linyang, but the earliest train back to Linyang would not be available until the afternoon.
"Wow! It's so prosperous!" came to Jiangxia's commercial street, Su Han looked at the dazzling array of storefronts around him and sighed.
It has to be said that as the most economically advanced city in the central region, Jiangxia's business started very early, when Nanhui County was still in the era of semi-planned economy, Jiangxia has introduced a popular shopping plaza along the coast.
For Zhou Ming, this kind of shopping plaza is not unusual, in the later generations of more than 20 years, this kind of shopping plaza abounds, many small counties have to engage in one, but now it is a very rare thing, especially for people who are used to looking in through the counter in this era, this feeling of being in the goods has a considerable impact on customers.
Su Han was so happy that he looked at the clothes in the shops like a child: "What beautiful clothes!"
Su Han is happy, Zhou Ming is also very happy, it seems that no matter what era a woman is, as long as she is a woman, her love for beautiful clothes when shopping is the same. It's just that Su Han didn't have a good life in her previous life, she married a small cadre in the factory under the arrangement of her family, and she was poor all her life, but even so, she still tried to help herself when she was in difficulty, so now that she is reborn and back, she must work hard to make her live well. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I won't let her worry about money anymore, and I will do the same.
The treasury bill business is just the beginning, Zhou Ming is not just a "Zhou million" when he comes back, he wants to earn more money!
"Hey, don't touch it!" suddenly a shout interrupted Zhou Ming's train of thought.
Zhou Ming looked over when he heard the sound, and saw Su Han standing timidly in front of a model prop, and a young woman with a letter next to her stared at her very strictly.
Zhou Ming frowned and walked over and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaohan?"
"I ...... I thought it was so beautiful that I wanted to touch it, but she wouldn't let me touch it. Su Han said cowardly.
Zhou Ming nodded, and said to the young woman with a letter: "My friend likes this dress, I want to see what's wrong?"
The young woman of Huaxin cut it and said disdainfully: "What do you see? What is there to see? If you don't buy it, don't look around here, delay our business." ”
Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, remembering that it is now in the 8o era, not twenty years after the market economy, if there is a salesman who dares to take such an attitude to customers after 20 years, he will be fired on the same day, but it is still the early stage of reform and opening up, and many systems in the shopping mall have not kept up, these salesmen are still iron rice bowls, and their thinking has not yet changed to the real waiter, so naturally there is arrogance in the era of planned economy.
In this transitional era from a planned economy to a market economy, the collision of various ideologies and concepts has made all kinds of excellent products appear in this era, and this young woman with a letter is obviously one of them.
Of course, if Zhou Ming and Su Han came in with famous brands, she would naturally not dare to slack off, but unfortunately, Zhou Ming and Su Han had just come out of the countryside like Nanhui, and they were dressed very rusticly.
Su Han gently pulled the corner of Zhou Ming's clothes: "Zhou Ming, why don't we go to other places and go around?"
Zhou Ming was about to speak, and the young woman with Huaxin spoke again: "What annoys me the most is you people, don't come here to wander around if you can't afford anything, you don't have any self-knowledge, hillbilly." ”
Listening to the hurtful words of the young woman Huaxin, Su Han lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, she was very aggrieved but she couldn't help it.
"Really?"
Zhou Ming was originally going to leave this store with Su Han and go to other stores to have a look, but now that he heard her say this about himself and Su Han, Zhou Ming couldn't help but decide to educate her well.
