Chapter 18: The First Pot of Gold (1)
"I'd like to ask Uncle Xu for a favor." Li Jiatao turned his mind and said with a smile, "I don't know if all the treasury bill purchase tasks stipulated by the county have been allocated, I want to buy some and make a little difference from the middle." ”
"Treasury bills?" Xu Daoming was stunned, "The task of treasury bills in the county is relatively heavy, and many units are very negative in subscribing, and now the Finance Bureau still has a backlog of treasury bills." ”
"Jiatao, if you want to buy treasury bills, our Public Security Bureau still has some." Sun Haomin answered with a smile.
"How many?" Li Jiatao's eyes lit up.
"There should be a hundred thousand." Sun Haomin laughed, "You go to our Public Security Bureau tomorrow, I'll say hello to the financial unit, and I'll calculate it according to the seven-fold discount, and lend it to you first." ”
"Thank you, Sun Ju." Li Jiatao hurriedly said, "Within ten days, I will definitely return 70,000 yuan to you." ”
"No thanks, I want to thank you for helping to buy Treasury bills. Now the employees of our public security bureau are not willing to pay for treasury bills, and I have a lot of pressure. Sun Haomin said with a smile. In Xijiang County, the price of treasury bills is generally 20% off, and now it is indeed sold to Li Jiatao at 7% off, giving Li Jiatao a 10% profit, which is 10,000 yuan. However, this is public money, and Sun Haomin is not heartbroken, and he does personal favors in vain.
Sun Haomin saw it clearly, Xu Lei cares about Li Jiatao very much, Xu Daoming also admires Li Jiatao, Li Jiatao is very likely to become Xu Daoming's son-in-law, and having a good relationship with Li Jiatao is beneficial to Sun Haomin, why not?
"According to the relevant policy regulations, the buying and selling of treasury bills has become legal." Xu Daoming smiled slightly, "That's it, Jiatao, you first sell Director Sun's treasury bills, and then come to me." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Li Jiatao had a grateful expression on his face, "It's not safe for me to put too much money in my hand, as long as 100,000 yuan at a time." ”
100,000 is a big number in this era, and Li Jiatao said it so easily, which made Xu Daoming and Sun Haomin a little surprised. However, both of them just nodded faintly and did not ask anything.
Xu Daoming was very pleased, it seems that Li Jiatao knows how to advance and retreat, and he didn't make any excessive requests, and let himself return him a favor. As the head of a county, Xu Daoming naturally didn't want to owe too much favor to a student like Li Jiatao.
Li Jiatao made such a request, which also gave Xu Daoming face, and made Xu Daoming look at Li Jiatao again. Xu Daoming didn't think much about it, in this era, it is no secret that treasury bills are bought and sold, and there are already people engaged in this industry.
In Xu Daoming's view, Li Jiatao just wants to earn the difference. According to Xu Daoming's estimate, buying 100,000 treasury bills at a 7% discount and then selling them can earn a profit of 5 percentage points, which is quite good. However, five percentage points also has a profit of 5,000 yuan, which is also quite important to Li Jiatao, a poor student.
As everyone knows, Li Jiatao wants to use this treasury bill trading to earn the first pot of gold in his life.
As a traverser, Li Jiatao has an advantage that ordinary people cannot match, that is, he has sound information and has mastered the lifeblood of history.
The trading of treasury bills in Yandu will save five percent of profits at most. However, when looking at the national market, the difference in the price of treasury bills is quite wide. In Li Jiatao's memory, Shanghai should have just begun to put treasury bills on the market at this time, and if the treasury bills were sold to Shanghai's trading market, 100 yuan of treasury bills could be sold for 110 yuan. Buy at $70 and sell at $110, the difference is $40. In other words, if it goes well, Li Jiatao can make a profit of 40,000 yuan by reselling the 100,000 yuan treasury bills!
Sun Haomin is not worried that Li Jiatao will not be able to repay the money, after all, the transaction of treasury bills is basically whether there is a profit or a loss, and it only depends on how much money can be made. Even if it falls a little bit, Sun Haomin doesn't care about that little money.
After handling the matter of treasury bills, Li Jiatao was in a good mood and saluted the two elders three times in a row.
"I can't see it, Jiatao's alcohol consumption is not small." Xu Daoming rarely drank alcohol, and this time he also drank with interest, laughing, "Not bad, not bad." ”
Xu Lei pursed her lips and smiled beside her, secretly filled Li Jiatao with a bowl of soup, and said in a low voice: "Drink a bowl of soup, your stomach will be more comfortable." ”
A bowl of soup made Li Jiatao's heart warm.
After dinner, Xu Daoming and Sun Haomin went into the study to chat, and Li Jiatao also resigned from the Xu family.
Early the next morning, Li Jiatao appeared at the gate of the Xijiang County Public Security Bureau.
"Jiatao is here." Sun Wen, who was heroic in a police uniform, was already waiting at the door, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll go to the financial unit with you." ”
With Sun Wen, the director's daughter, as compensation, the people in the finance unit were very happy, and soon handed over the prepared 100,000 yuan treasury bills to Li Jiatao. Li Jiatao didn't talk nonsense, and directly typed an IOU of 70,000 yuan, and put all the treasury bills into the travel bag he brought. This travel bag was borrowed from Lou Gaocheng, gray and old, not conspicuous at all.
"You're going to treat me when you've made money." Coming out of the financial unit, Sun Wen said with a grin.
"Definitely, definitely." Li Jiatao smiled, "I will definitely come over to treat me in ten days." ”
Out of the Public Security Bureau, Li Jiatao stepped on a southern motorcycle and went straight to Li Wangzhuang. The dirt road was full of potholes, and the sixty-mile journey took Li Jiatao an hour and a half.
Li Jiatao went home this time, mainly to raise travel expenses, and because Li Jiatao was admitted to university, his sister Li Yuexiang, who worked in the coastal area, specially asked for a week's vacation and rushed back. Because he was admitted to the university, he is considered an adult, and his parents' management of Li Jiatao has been much looser.
But Li Jiatao didn't dare to ask his parents for money, for fear that his parents would ask what he was doing with money. For the cost of Li Jiatao's college education, Li Dagang and his wife did not use their brains less and went everywhere to raise money.
When Li Jiatao arrived home, Li Yuexiang had already packed her luggage and was ready to go out. Seeing her brother Li Jiatao coming back, Li Yuexiang was very happy.
"Third brother, I thought you forgot that I went out today." Li Yuexiang held Li Jiatao's arm very affectionately and said with a smile.
Li Yuexiang is only two years younger than Li Jiatao, and she is 17 years old this year, but Li Yuexiang has been working in the coastal area for three years, and she has also mixed up with the position of line chief, and she has more than 500 yuan a month. For Wu Baiyuan's monthly salary, Li Yuexiang is frugal, and sends more than 4,000 yuan to his family every year. Li Jiatao and his younger brother Li Jiaxi's tuition fees were basically earned by Li Yuexiang.
For this sensible sister, Li Jiatao feels a little guilty and a little pity.
"I'm just such a precious sister." Li Jiatao smiled and stretched out his hand to stop Li Yuexiang's thin shoulder, "Brother will send you to the train station to get on the train." ”
Li Jiatao went to send his sister, but Li Dagang and his wife did not object. After all, in this era, the road is not so peaceful, and Li Yuexiang is really a little reassuring.
Besides, Li Jiatao rode back to the motorcycle and solved the big problem of transportation. There are more than 60 miles from Li Wangzhuang to the county seat, and it takes more than half a day to walk, and people are tired.
"Let's go, the Goto people bought you a train ticket." Li Jiatao put his sister's luggage on top of his travel bag on the back of the motorcycle and tied it with rubber straps. This kind of rubber strap has a bullet surname, and it is very stable to help things.
Li Yuexiang said goodbye to her family with tears in her eyes, and also got on a motorcycle and hugged her brother's waist.
"Third child, pay attention to safety and drive slowly." Mother Sun Xiuying admonished, her eyes were red, "Sister Xiang, remember to write home." ”
