Brother Chu Zhen rode all the way and laughed all the way, and suddenly Lin Xin asked another question:

"Third brother, I actually have some money here, but it's really not okay for me to ask my brother for something, or you for your sister, why do you need to borrow money from Brother Jun, and owe him a personal favor?"

Chu Zhen glanced at Lin Xin with hatred, and did not answer, but asked Zhao Feng again:

"Lao Zhao, tell me, what good is it for us to borrow money from Brother Jun?"

Zhao Feng is not the kind of person who talks casually, he thought carefully for almost a minute before replying:

"There are two advantages to borrowing money from Brother Jun, first, this matter will not involve more people, didn't the third child say that he wanted to keep it secret?"

Chu Zhen glanced at Zhao Feng with teachable eyes, and then said:

"Very well, you go on."

Zhao Feng said: "Second, by borrowing money, you can have a better understanding of Brother Jun, am I right?" ”

"Lao Zhao, what you said these two points is very good! Big head, do you hear me? Chu Zhen gave Zhao Feng positive feedback.

"Damn, I didn't expect to borrow money and have so many doorways?" Lin Xin came back to his senses.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

Chu Zhen communicates with Zhao Feng and Lin Xin, and often adopts such guided questions, allowing them to think and come up with answers on their own.

"Big head, through the contact just now, what do you think of Brother Jun?" Chu Zhen then asked.

This time, Lin Xin learned to be obedient, and did not open his mouth to answer, but thought for a while, and then said:

"I think it's very realistic, Brother Jun is a very realistic person, he didn't want to borrow money, but when he heard that we gave him his student ID, he immediately agreed. In addition, listening to his voice, he is quite loud, and there should still be some Taoism and Taoism. ”

Chu Zhen was very happy to hear this, and immediately praised Lin Xin and said:

"The big head is okay, your observation is also good, this thoughtful thinking, it really has something to say!"

Chu Zhen continued:

"We are still freshmen in high school, and we have not experienced social training, so it is easy to be underestimated and it is easy for people to have bad thoughts."

After Chu Zhen praised Lin Xin, he "educated" the two of them:

"In the matter of exchanging food stamps, every step we take, everyone we make friends, must be cautious!"

"I think it's a good thing that the big head just said about the student ID, which shows that Brother Jun is a person who knows how to protect himself and does things steadily. By borrowing money, it can be seen that Brother Jun is still more sincere to us, and he does not underestimate us because we are high school students, he is also very particular and serious in doing things, and he should be a good partner. ”

"Third child, I think it's reasonable for you to say that!" Lin Xin nodded and said.

Next, Chu Zhen began to draw cakes, and continued:

"Don't forget, the exchange of food stamps can be done for a year at most, but what about after that year? If the exchange of food stamps goes well, we will have a lot of money on hand in a year, and we can find more ways to make money. I'm thinking that maybe Brother Jun can become a long-term partner of ours, and if the exchange of food stamps cooperates well, he can become our spokesperson to some extent in the future, after all, we are only high school students now. ”

"I said, third, why do you seem to have changed people? I didn't think you could say that before? But it's really reasonable! ”

Chu Zhen's words convinced Lin Guo and the others.

After chatting and chatting, they arrived home, and Chu Zhen also mentioned that the two of them remembered to bring their student IDs tomorrow, and then the three of them went back to their respective homes.

The next day, that is, at noon on Saturday, Chu Zhen went to the school library again, returned the two books for learning French, and found the thickest of them, the "Longman English-Chinese Dictionary", Chu Zhen felt that it would definitely not hurt to memorize a few more dictionaries.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhen found the thickest Chinese dictionary again, and decided to finish these two tomes first.

Chu Zhen's decision was actually a whim, he didn't know that one day in the future, he would be extremely glad for today's choice.

Then Chu Zhen wanted to find a book on finance and securities, but found nothing, so Chu Zhen decided to go to the bookstore to have a look.

After school, Chu Zhen asked Zhao Feng and Lin Xin to take their student IDs to borrow money from Brother Jun, and he rode to Longfusi Street, not far from Beijing No. 2 Middle School, because there is a Chinese bookstore that specializes in second-hand books.

Chu Zhen's budget is limited, and his current net worth is only about 20 yuan, so Chu Zhen didn't choose to go to the main store of Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore, although the book category there is the most complete.

In addition to Wangfujing and Xidan, Longfusi Street is another major business district in the urban area of Beijing.

It is worth mentioning that Longfusi Street is the most densely populated street in Beijing.

This Chinese bookstore in Longfu Temple is the largest second-hand bookstore in the whole of Beijing and is very famous.

The second-hand modern books sold in Chinese bookstores can be found forty or fifty years ago at the earliest, and there are many original books in foreign languages, and there are many ancient rubbings and even ancient treasures, and many awe-inspiring academic masters will go there to search for books.

Longfu Temple is not far from Erzhong, and Chu Zhen can ride a bicycle for ten minutes.

Entering the Chinese bookstore, there are still a lot of people here, the bookstore is open to the public on a total of three floors, the third floor sells ancient books and rubbings, and the second floor is a place for second-hand books to be recycled.

On the first floor, second-hand modern books are sold, and all categories are readily available, which is also where Chu Zhen is preparing to buy books. This year, a large number of new books cost only seven or eight yuan to a dozen yuan, and second-hand books are cheaper, and an 800-page second-hand Longman English-Chinese dictionary sells for only six yuan!

Entering the sea of books, Chu Zhen felt a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, he wanted to buy books on finance, but at this time, Chu Zhen fell into the sea of books, and roared three words in his heart: Buy! Buy! Buy!

Chu Zhen's old mistake is committed, there are really too many books he wants to buy and collect!

After walking around and reading more than a dozen books, Chu Zhen regained his rationality and decided to take only one scoop of water for 3,000 weak water.

Just as he was about to go to the bookshelf where the economics books were stacked, a person walked down the stairs next to him and almost bumped into Chu Zhen.

After being reborn, Chu Zhen's reaction speed was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he let this person go in a flash.

Chu Zhen glanced back at this person, this was a woman in her forties, wearing sleeves on her arms, and holding a two-foot-square wire basket in both hands, in which twenty or thirty books of various colors were placed.

Chu Zhen saw that it was a female clerk in a bookstore, and Chu Zhen smiled at the female clerk and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry!" ”

The female clerk didn't expect the middle school student in front of her to be quite polite, so she replied: "It's okay, I'm in a hurry to put these books on the shelves, and I walked down the stairs too violently." ”

After Chu Zhen heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the books in the basket, and suddenly he found something.

"Auntie, can you let me read this book?"

The female clerk replied without thinking about it: "Take it casually, it's going to be sold anyway, if you don't buy it after reading it, just help put the book on the shelf of this kind of book." ”

"Okay, thank you!"

Chu Zhen politely picked up the book he wanted.

"Huh? Can you read this book? ”

The female clerk saw the book Chu Zhen picked up, and asked Chu Zhen with some doubts.

"Auntie, I'm just a little curious and want to flip through it, and I'll put it on the shelf of the original English version in a while."

It turned out that Chu Zhen got an original English book, and the female clerk didn't say much, and went to get busy with the basket.

Chu Zhen turned over the back of the book and looked at the price first when he got the book, generally speaking, second-hand books will be repriced, and the new price is written on a small label and pasted on the back of the book, where the original price is pasted, usually completely covering the original price.

The price of the original English book in Chu Zhen's hand is relatively arbitrary, mainly according to the preservation status of the book, the new and old editions, and it may be very expensive, or it may be ridiculously cheap!

Seeing the price on the back, Chu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

The label clearly reads: Twenty-five dollars.

Chu Zhen turned out all the money he was carrying, no more, no less, just twenty-five yuan!

Chu Zhenxin said that this book is definitely appreciated by God!

Chu Zhen didn't say a word, and hurriedly went to the cash office at the door to buy the book!

After paying and getting the receipt, Chu Zhen relieved himself, this book belongs to him!

Chu Zhen walked out of the Chinese bookstore, stood in the empty space on the side of the bookstore's door, and admired it carefully!

This book looked new from the outside, and Chu Zhen quickly flipped through it and found that there were handwritten reading notes in the blanks of many pages in the book, and they were all written in English. According to Chu Zhen's judgment of the handwriting, this handwriting should have been written by a foreigner.

Why was Chu Zhen so excited?

It turned out that the book was "Thei

tellige

ti

vesto

The Chinese version is called "The Smart Investor", written by Benjamin Graham, the greatest stock market researcher of the twentieth century! Graham is regarded as an idol and mentor by Warren Buffett, and the book "The Smart Investor" has been praised by Warren Buffett as the most worthwhile book in the investment field.

Chu Zhen couldn't put down this book, and what surprised him even more was that when he carefully checked the basic information of the book, he found that this book was actually the first edition of the original edition published in 1949!

Compared to the age of publication, this book is already very well preserved!

It can even be said that this book is extremely collectible!

Chu Zhen guessed that it might be the bookstore staff who happened to receive the book, who was not good at English and did not know much about economics.

If these experts and scholars in the field of economics see that the price is ten or twenty times more expensive, they are still too cheap!

Chu Zhen was secretly happy in his heart, he was an explosion of character, and he picked up a leak!

At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded in Chu Zhen's ears:

"This little classmate, can you show me this book in your hand?"
