As always, Yu Ming went to class during the day and sang at the topf1club bar at night to repay the interest on the loan sharks.

As the guests lose their freshness to "Let's Swing the Sculls", the number of guests who click "Let's Swing the Sculls" is decreasing, and the number of people ordering today's popular songs is gradually increasing, and correspondingly, the guests' tips are also decreasing, gradually dropping from 500 yuan on the first day to 480 yuan, 400 yuan, and 360 yuan.

On the fifth day, Yu Ming saw that the amount of the reward had been reduced to his expectations, and finally dedicated "Keep Your Sadness to Yourself".

The guests of the bar are mainly young and middle-aged, "Keep Your Sadness to Yourself" tells a love story, coupled with Yu Ming's affectionate singing, the screaming in the bar that night never stopped, and Yu Ming's tip income that night received a record 800 yuan.

After a week of singing, in addition to repaying the 910 yuan of loan sharks, Yu Ming made a net profit of 2,800 yuan.

When negotiating the contract, Liao Chengji, the owner of topf1club, gave Yu Ming the highest treatment among all resident singers, with a daily salary of 500 yuan, and no deposit, and the full amount was paid on the same day.

On the 10th day after Yu Ming signed the contract, he finally saved enough 6,500 yuan and handed it over to Chengzhu Temple in person, after Chengzhu Temple received the money, he made an exception and invited Yu Ming to have a big meal, and said a lot of flattering words during the banquet, and constantly expressed his apologies, Yu Ming said a word, and Chengzhu Temple was choked speechless, Yu Ming said:

"The most sincere expression of apologies is to return 7,410 yuan to me."

Yu Ming saw that Chengzhu Temple's face was the color of pig liver, and said with a smile:

"Haha! I'm kidding! ”

Chengzhu Temple relieved himself at this time, and said in a flickering voice:

"You're kidding!"

Yu Ming took a napkin from the table, wiped his mouth, stood up and said to Chengzhu Temple:

"Let's go, we'll see you forever!"

It was Tuesday, December 18, 1990.

In the evening, Yu Ming found the owner of the topf1club bar, Liao Chengji, and submitted an application for resignation, of course Liao Chengji did not agree, since Yu Ming came to the bar to sing, the bar's business is getting better day by day, and the topf1club bar has become the most famous bar in Xiangyang.

Liao Chengji bitterly persuaded Yu Ming not to resign, but Yu Ming agreed not to resign, considering that he had no savings at all and really needed money.

Since he still wants to continue singing, Yu Ming registered two more songs, "Together" and "Friends", and the buyout price was increased to 150,000 yuan.

……

24 December 1990.

Today is the day after the monthly exam, and the results of the monthly exam have been announced.

Yu Ming's scores in English, Chinese, Mathematics, and Science Comprehensive (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) were 718 points out of a full score of 750, only 32 points short of the full score, ranking 3rd among 450 students in 6 science classes in the third year of high school, including the science repeater class, only 8 points less than the 726 points in the first place.

Yu Ming's demerit points were mainly for English and Chinese, which deducted a total of 24 points, and only 8 points for Mathematics and Science.

Yu Ming felt that if he hadn't gone to the bar to sing at night, his grades would have been better.

Yu Ming's achievements are like taking an elevator, from the bottom to the top all at once.

The sudden rise in Yu Ming's grades surprised the teachers and students, and the head teacher Zhou Xianzhi also specially brought Yu Ming to the office to talk.

Yu Ming couldn't stand the repeated inquiries of the head teacher, so he had to say that his head had hit a stone and fell into a coma, and when he woke up, he felt as if he had suddenly opened his mind, and his memory, comprehension and spatial perception had greatly improved......

Gou Yuesheng is a person who is willing to gamble and lose, on the night of the announcement of the results, before the lights went out in the boys' dormitory, he asked his attendant Wu Dezhi to send the peony card and the note with the password to Yu Ming's hand, and said that the peony card was also given to Yu Ming.

The next day, after Yu Ming transferred the 30,000 yuan on the peony card to his CCB Dragon card, Yu Ming's opinion of Gou Yuesheng changed a lot.

Yu Ming believes that a person who can be willing to gamble and lose should also be a trustworthy person; A person who can be trustworthy will not be much worse no matter how bad he is.

Yu Ming thought, for the sake of Gou Yuesheng's face to himself, it would be better not to fall into the well for him in the future, and he could also help him in the case of a gesture, no, it was for the sake of the alumni's face that he would help him.

As Gou Yuesheng said, this money was sent by him, it was voluntary, and he was willing to gamble and lose, indicating that he would get the 30,000 yuan without any mental burden.

Money can make money, and with 30,000 yuan in cash, Yu Ming wants to see if there are any investment opportunities.

The next day, Yu Ming arrived at the Internet café early in the morning, entered the Yiwang portal, and looked for the latest news, and there was a piece of news that aroused his idea:

"On January 8, 1991, Huaxia will open treasury bills to trading."

Yu Ming found 3 favorable news about Treasury bill trading:

1. The Central Bank of Huaxia encourages citizens to buy and sell treasury bills at any time;

2. There is no need to pay tax for treasury bill transactions, and the transactions of treasury bills in China are tax-free;

3. Treasury bills issued after 1990 cannot be opened for trading, but they are issued by electronic bookkeeping.

3. There are three varieties of Huaxia treasury bills issued after January 8, 1988, which mature in more than 2 years and can be traded, namely, 7-year Huaxia high-speed railway treasury bills with a face value of 10,000 yuan issued in 1983 and an issue price of 7,500 yuan; In 1985, the 7-year Qionghai Interchange Treasury Bills with a face value of 1,000 yuan were issued at an issue price of 750 yuan; In 1989, a five-year treasury bond with a face value of 100 yuan was issued at 75 yuan.

It is clear that although the principle of voluntariness is emphasized in the issuance of treasury bills in Huaxia, in practice, in order to complete the task of issuing treasury bills as soon as possible, the issuing points have taken some measures in the process of issuance, and there is a factor of apportionment.

Yu Ming believes that the vast majority of households are willing to cash in on unexpired treasury bills at a price slightly higher than the issue price, so the business of reselling treasury bills is very operable.

Yu Ming pondered, this is an opportunity, actions must be ahead of others, should only make money and not lose.

In the following two days, Yu Ming casually found an excuse to try to purchase treasury bills from classmates and teachers at school, but his classmates and teachers did not resist much, and Yu Ming successfully purchased 8,000 yuan of treasury bills, which gave Yu Ming great confidence.

On New Year's Day in 1991, after Yu Ming saw off the sisters Song Shumei and Zhou Jilan, who were returning home for the holiday, he rode a folding bicycle borrowed from Li Ruozhu, who lived in the school, went to the shopping mall to buy a portable tweeter, and began to walk the streets and alleys to shout and buy treasury bills. In the past few days of the National Day, almost everyone in Xiangyang City has heard such a sound of buying:

"Collect - Treasury bills".

"Treasury bills at a high price".

"Collect - Treasury bills".

"Treasury bills at a high price".

After running for three days, Yu Ming's voice was hoarse, and finally his hard work paid off, and all of Yu Ming's 30,000 yuan in cash was exchanged for treasury bills.

A few days later, Yu Ming found Li Ruozhu again, and borrowed another 30,000 yuan from Li Ruozhu's parents, all of which were exchanged for treasury bills.

Yu Ming counted on the bed in the dormitory at night and purchased a total of 88 treasury bills: 4 Huaxia high-speed rail treasury bills were purchased at a price of 8,000 yuan; There are 30 Qionghai Interchange Treasury Bills purchased for 800 yuan; There were 54 Treasury bills of Shangjing West Station that were purchased for 74 yuan.

On the evening of January 7, Yu Ming confessed to Song Shumei, who had returned to school, in the dormitory, and asked him to tell Zhou Jilan and ask Zhou Jilan to help take a day off. Yu Ming thinks that the success rate of the school flower should be higher if she helps to ask for leave.

Early the next morning, Yu Ming took the bullet train bound for Wuhan, the capital of Chuyuan Province, and when Yu Ming got off the train, it was already 10:10 a.m., because of traffic jams on the road, and when he arrived at the Treasury Bill Exchange, it was already half past eleven, and the exchange had closed.

Yu Ming missed the morning trading time, Yu Ming looked at the closing price of the treasury bills on the electronic market in the morning with apprehension, looking at it, Yu Ming couldn't suppress his excitement, he couldn't work in vain! Yu Ming silently recited the closing price of Chinese Treasury bills in his heart:

10,600 yuan of treasury bills for Huaxia high-speed railway;

Qionghai interchange treasury bill 1050 yuan;

The treasury bill of Shangjing West Railway Station is 104 yuan.

Yu Ming opened the calculator on his mobile phone and calculated it, and this time he earned 19,760 yuan.

Yu Ming estimated that in the first few days of trading on the Treasury Bills Exchange, due to the small stock of Treasury bills entering the exchange, there was still a process of rising due to the increasing amount of funds entering the market.

Yu Ming decided to wait a day and sell it tomorrow, and planned to sell it all tomorrow, regardless of whether it rose or fell.

At noon, Yu Ming bought a 10-yuan fast food from a vendor at the entrance of the Treasury Exchange, and rested on a chair in the lobby of the Treasury Exchange.
