If memory serves, on the 21st of this month, the country opened up the free trading of treasury bills, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Dongzi, what time is it today?" He grabbed Li Dong's shoulder and asked eagerly.

Li Dong was pinched by him and trembled: "Oh, it hurts, it hurts, why are you so excited, today is the 18th, Monday, what's wrong?" ”

"Number 18, haha!" Yang Weicheng laughed, and a layer of sweat beads appeared.

"Silly? Lose your marbles? Li Dong raised his hand and touched his forehead.

"Dongzi, mix with me in the future, and let you eat fragrant and drink spicy food!" Yang Weicheng patted him on the shoulder and said proudly.

"Yes, yes, I'm messing with you, but you should go to the health room first." Li Dong suspected that Yang Weicheng was really sick, otherwise how could he faint in the morning.

You are sick, Yang Weicheng said in his heart, a wonderful blueprint has been sketched in his heart.

There was a stock exchange in Zhonghai, not far from their boat market, and he wanted to dump the treasury bills as soon as the trade was opened.

It's just that I can't get a few pieces of scraping at home, so where can I get the money? Yang Weicheng was worried.

Li Dong couldn't help but say something, and dragged him to the supply and marketing cooperative. Along the way, Yang Weicheng looked at Li Dong's back, and his eyes gradually brightened.

Yes, I don't have any money, but I can borrow it!

"Wait!" Yang Weicheng stopped.

Li Dong turned around and asked strangely, "What's wrong Wei Cheng?" ”

In the past, Yang Weicheng was more active than anyone else, after all, he still had younger brothers and sisters to support.

"Dongzi, do you believe me?" Yang Weicheng stared at the other party with sparkling eyes.

Li Dong tilted his head and looked at him: "Wei Cheng, you are too strange today." ”

"First of all, do you believe me?" Yang Weicheng asked hurriedly.

"Believe, of course. What is our relationship? I believe in you more than I believe in myself. Li Dong replied without thinking.

"You can lend me some money." Yang Wei became a Taoist.

Li Dong was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Cheng, are we iron or not?" ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" Yang Weicheng nodded.

"Then tell you the truth, what the hell is wrong?" Li Dong said as he spoke, his eyes were red, "Is there some terrible disease?" It's okay, you tell me, we'll find a way to cure it!! ”

Yang Weicheng was moved for a while, he knew that Li Dong and Uncle were very good friends, but he didn't expect the other party to be so affectionate.

"I'm really seriously ill, and I don't have the money to treat it." Yang Weicheng said deliberately, "You see that my family is poor and ugly, and there is a brother and sister below who open their mouths and wait for dinner...... and wipe the corners of his eyes again, looking pitiful.

"Don't be afraid, you are so young, you can cure any disease." Li Dong choked up and said, "Say it again...... If、If you really have something, my brother and sister will leave it to me.。 ”

Yang Weicheng nodded and hugged his good brother's shoulders: "In that case, you can lend me some money first." ”

Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and punched him: "Good boy, are you scaring me?" But what are you borrowing money for? ”

"It's useful." Yang Weicheng said, "But don't be afraid, I will pay you back in a month at most, and I will pay you three times the interest when the time comes." ”

"Cut, as if I was trying to interest you. Cheng, I have a ready-made one hundred and five here, and I won't grab today's salt and soap, you can take it. ”

Li Dong generously stuffed the money to Yang Weicheng.

150 is already a huge amount of money in this year, but in Yang Weicheng's opinion, it is far from enough. If I remember correctly, the opening price of the Zhonghai Securities Exchange on April 21 was 104 yuan.

These 150, poor to die.

Borrow, borrow!

Li Dong heroically stuffed the money to his good brother, and then put his hand in his pocket, smiling and waiting to be praised. But he waited and waited, but he didn't wait to praise or say anything, but saw Yang Weicheng with a sad face.

"I*, Wei Cheng, how much do you want?" Li Dong was startled, and suddenly a terrible thought drilled into his head, he looked left and right, and lowered his voice and asked, "You kid gambled?" ”

"No~" Yang Weicheng shook his head, pondering how to explain to Li Dong.

"That'...... So you speculated and lost money? Li Dong's voice was lowered, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"No, alas, do you believe me?" Yang Weicheng was cross-minded, and he couldn't explain it clearly anyway, so he simply didn't explain.

"Faith." Li Dong nodded without hesitation.

"That's right, help me collect Treasury bills, no matter what the price." Yang Wei became a Taoist.

During this period, there was a general lack of awareness of treasury bills.

Due to the underdeveloped economy, the common people have no sense of financial management at all, and are unwilling to buy, and most places even have to use apportionment to semi-force everyone to buy. It is even better to have less interest and to exchange it for cash.

Therefore, Yang Weicheng is not afraid that everyone will open his mouth.

Just like Li Dongjia's treasury bills, as soon as they expired, Li Dong's mother couldn't wait to sell them. How did she know that in a few days, these treasury bills would earn her at least a dozen yuan more.

More than ten yuan, that's a week's salary.

Li Dong's mother is like this, what about other people? Yang Weicheng's heart is surging, this is a perfect time! Buy Treasury bills from people and sell them on the China Shipping Stock Exchange!

Li Dong didn't understand his thoughts, but he was very supportive of any decision made by his good brother.

"That's ......," Li Dong said, "We don't have much money, and we can't collect much, so let's go to the acquaintances in the factory and ask from door to door to see who has it, and lend it out first." ”

"Yes, I'll pay back the interest then." Yang Weicheng nodded.

Li Dong's father is loyal and very popular in the factory, if Li Dong comes forward to 'buy' under the banner of his father, there should be no big problem.

When they went to work, the two borrowed separately in the factory. Yang Weicheng was very surprised, he didn't expect that he, an 18 or 9-year-old boy, would have such a good popularity.

He successively borrowed treasury bills of various denominations from his master and several co-workers, totaling more than 200 yuan.

Although it was a promise to give interest, the strong human touch of this era also moved Yang Weicheng very much.

Li Dong was in a better situation than him, and when he got off work in the afternoon, the two of them met and summed it up, and it turned out that there were already 1,100 treasury bills that could be borrowed so far.

"Wei Cheng, is this enough?" Li Dong was excited and a little worried.

Treasury bills are equal to money, and when he saw so much money for the first time, his eyes lit up. But I'm scared, what should I do if I lose it, and what should I do if I can't afford it?

Yang Weicheng said: "Not enough. ”

"Huh? Not enough? Li Dong was taken aback.

"Yes, the more, the better." Yang Weicheng nodded solemnly, "The more the merrier." ”

He patted Li Dong on the shoulder, and Li Dong's eyes blinked, and he fell into deep thought.

"Wei Cheng, I'll sell that bike." Li Dongdao.

"Didn't you buy that car new?" Yang Weicheng was quite surprised, and was even more moved by the brotherhood.

"What's the solution? Don't you need money? Li Dong smiled bitterly.

Li Dong's father just bought him a Phoenix 69 last week, which rides through the streets and alleys all day long, arrogant like a swan, and naturally attracts the attention of many young girls.

At this time, the bicycle with the permanent 16th surname costs 195 yuan, the Phoenix 20 type is in its early 300s, and the Phoenix 69 type is much more expensive, at least 360 yuan, and it is very demanding.

If it weren't for Li Dong's somewhat snobbish brother-in-law, Wang Xu, who worked at the town's United Supply and Marketing Store, bicycles would still be easy to buy.

Li Dong treats this bicycle as a baby, and he is not even allowed to touch his parents and good buddies. Now that he actually said that he would take it out and buy it, could Yang Weicheng not be moved in his heart?

He secretly decided to earn money as soon as possible to repay Li Dong and compensate him for a new car.

"Don't worry, Dongzi, there will be anything in the future." Yang Weicheng patted him on the shoulder with emotion.

The two rode two bicycles and found a place to sell them. What surprised Yang Weicheng was that second-hand cars could also be sold for 360, which shows how much demand this car is.

Yang Weicheng later learned that Li Dong was beaten by his father later because of this incident, so he lost face.

Now Yang Weicheng only has numbers in his head, all numbers. He borrowed 1,120 treasury bills and 400 yuan in cash, which was enough to grab his first pot of gold!

All that's left is to wait.

Of course, Yang Weicheng did not wait in vain, he had to seize all the time to make money.

The factory pays wages on a monthly basis, and of course he can't wait for the next month's payment. simply took sick leave and paid workers to work on their behalf. And he used these days to go out to catch the sea.

In these years, there is a shortage of materials, and there is no need to sell anything, although the seafood is cheap, the market is very good. And there is no cost to catch the sea, if it can be transported to the city to set up a stall, it can be sold more expensive.

In recent years, the social atmosphere is still a bit restrained, speculation is not decent, and there are not many people doing it.
