Chapter 6: Scams and Insiders
"Red 2000" is the currency issued by the government of the Republic of China, because the main color is red, and the face value is 2,000 yuan, so everyone calls it red 2000.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this thing was a piece of waste paper, and at most it had a bit of collection value.
It is not easy to find "red two thousand" in the city, but there is still some stock in the countryside.
But this thing is really worthless in the eyes of rural people, and it is idle to go to the toilet, but in the eyes of those who are interested, it has become an excellent object of hype.
The "Red Two Thousand" caused a storm in Yu Province, because this thing was too profitable.
It costs only a few cents to buy it from the countryside, but it can be sold for 2,000 yuan at face value, and even at a higher price when it is in demand.
Two thousand yuan is equivalent to two years' wages for many people!
This is the real lucrative business.
Many people in Henan Province ran all over the world, and when they saw the village, their eyes lit up and they drilled inside, in order to buy these red tickets.
In order to be able to buy the "Red Two Thousand", some people even go bankrupt.
The purchase price of "Red Two Thousand" is only a few cents, why should it go bankrupt?
First of all, this thing is not a newspaper and magazine that can be picked up everywhere on the street, but you need to go to the countryside all over the country to find it.
Running all the way, do you want money to eat, drink and Lazar?
In addition, it is necessary to find a doorway to inquire where there are "red two thousand" in the countryside, and sometimes you have to pay additional information fees, does this cost money?
All the costs of the "Red Two Thousand" are in the smoke and dust of rushing.
But in the end, when people's enthusiasm declined and reason returned, they found out that it was a complete scam.
The people who made money on the "Red Two Thousand" will always exist only in the stories passed down by word of mouth.
It is true that some people have seen the "upline" who went to the village to buy the "red two thousand" with real money, but the villages that these "upline" went to did not have a single "red two thousand".
This fraudulent scam has ruined many people's families!
But Guan Haiyang knows more about it.
The so-called no wind and no waves, the "Red Two Thousand" bureau cannot be born for no reason, and there are high-ranking people operating behind it.
In later life, after he became developed, he once met a person at a dinner, and that guy made a fortune by relying on "Red Two Thousand".
With the original capital accumulation brought about by the "Red Two Thousand", and this person is also good at drilling, he caught a good time for rapid economic development, and finally became a billionaire.
He drank too much that day, and revealed that he was one of the initiators of the fried "Red Two Thousand" that year.
First, the price of the ticket was speculated, and a small amount of "red two thousand" was purchased with real money and silver, and then the "red two thousand" that had already been stocked up as a middleman was sold to those fools who dreamed of making a fortune.
This vote made him earn a lot of money, but behind it there were countless families who went bankrupt.
Guan Haiyang remembered that this guy's name was Yuan Chenggang, and his hometown was in Mazhen, not far from Jiangcheng.
During the Spring Festival in 1991, he had just earned his first pot of gold, 50,000 yuan.
In half a year, his assets directly doubled to 200,000.
After that, he stopped, leaving a mess of chicken feathers that no one cleaned up.
Guan Haiyang found him selling "Red Two Thousand" at this juncture, and he would never refuse.
Of course, it is definitely not the rumored 2,000 yuan a piece to be collected, but 800 yuan a piece, and after receiving it, Yuan Chenggang will increase the price and ship to earn the difference.
Even the price of 800 yuan a piece is already an astronomical amount for Guan Haiyang.
Does he know that there are almost 20 "red 2,000" in the iron box of the dog pillar, which can be exchanged for at least 18,000 yuan, a proper 10,000 yuan!
To make this guy's money, he doesn't have any psychological burden at all.
But all of this had to be built on the treasure tin box where he was able to find the dog's pillar.
……
It took almost a whole day to search, and it wasn't until sunset that Guan Haiyang pulled out the flattened iron box from the pile of bricks.
When I poured out the pictures and marbles inside, the red ticket appeared in front of me.
One, two......
Twenty-six of them.
Twenty thousand and eight hundred dollars!
Guan Haiyang was beaming when he returned home, and met Lu Yushan, who was rushing out of the house in a hurry.
Lu Yushan's face was pale, her lips were chapped, and her beautiful face was full of melancholy.
Seeing Guan Haiyang, two red glows flew up Lu Yushan's cheeks, with a little anger in his eyes, and grabbed his ears.
"The body is not good yet, so I go out and fool around, and I will die in the end!"
Even if she was angry, Lu Yushan's voice was soft, like freshly popped cotton, soft and warm.
"Don't be angry, I'm going to get down to business." Seeing Lu Yushan, Guan Haiyang's heart softened.
Lu Yushan didn't believe it, and was still angry: "Grizzled, what kind of business can you do like this?" ”
Guan Haiyang frowned, holding his stomach and selling miserably: "My stomach hurts again, I'm afraid that Tong Bing kicked too hard yesterday." ”
Lu Yushan had been accumulating anger for a while, and suddenly didn't know where to go, so she hurriedly carried him into the house.
Guan Haiyang didn't sell badly, he hadn't eaten all day, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable with hunger.
"You still said that you want to be sensible, so you toss your aunt like this!"
Grandma Du didn't know when she appeared behind her: "She just got off work, and she heard that you didn't come back for a day, so she was as anxious as anything." ”
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Guan Haiyang turned around and saw a big mountain.
Pu Fan's big palm pushed him directly into the house, and Du Xia also came back.
Grandma Du had already prepared dinner, three dishes and one soup, which was extremely simple, but exuded a strong taste of home.
Regardless of the gray face on his body, Guan Haiyang sat upright at the table, waiting for Grandma Du to announce the start of the meal.
"Does your stomach still hurt?" Lu Yushan's voice sounded in his ears.
was topped by Du Xia, and saw the table full of food, Guan Haiyang forgot that his stomach hurt, and Lu Yushan still remembered.
"It's much better, for a while, it's estimated that it's a string of gas, and it'll be fine in a while."
Lu Yushan is very easy to deal with, and Grandma Du is busy going to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks and doesn't care about his careful thinking at all.
Guan Haiyang's mind was all on the food on the table, and he almost wrote the word "start" on his face.
was so flustered by the gluttonous worm in his stomach that he couldn't wait for Grandma Du, who was slow, so he simply got up to help.
After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone began to feast.
A few dishes of green vegetables and a bowl of vegetarian soup made Guan Haiyang eat the happiness of the state guest banquet.
Happiness is a thing, it's very empty!
In the final analysis, it's all the theory of relativity, and the front chest is so hungry that the back of the stomach is close to the back of the stomach, and the nest and the head are all delicious in the world.
In later generations, Guan Haiyang had never eaten anything good, but it didn't taste like the vegetarian dishes in front of him.
After cooking two large bowls of rice in a row, Guan Haiyang stopped, and when he looked up, he saw Du Xia's pair of bull's eyes looking at him brightly, and he was slightly startled.
