159 [Countdown to Picking Up Money]
305 dormitory.
Li Yaolin and his brothers arrived and took out a few long boxes from their bags: "Come on, everyone has them, one for each!"
"What is this?" Nie Jun asked.
"Quality," Li Yaolin smiled, "I bought specialties in Shandong Province specifically in Dawang Town. The price is not cheap, and I can earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country every year."
"It turns out to be authentic and singular, it's great!" Wang Bo said excitedly. His hobby is calligraphy.
Song Weiyang opened the packaging box and saw a slender brush made of yellow sandalwood and rat hair. It was pleasing to the eye just by looking at the appearance.
Unfortunately, Song Weiyang didn't like calligraphy, so this thing could only be used as an ornament.
Wang Bo and Ding Ming also took out local specialties and ate everything they could use.
Nie Jun was even more awesome. He took out a bunch of models, all made of various shells, including planes, tanks, cannons... and he smiled and said, "I'm bored during the New Year, and I'm making my own gadgets."
"Didn't you not go back to your hometown and stay in Shenghai to work with Peng Shengli?" Zhou Zhengyu asked.
"Hehe." Nie Jun smiled awkwardly.
Peng Shengli said: "He has something to do at home, so he left early."
"Old Peng, you don't have to save face for me," Nie Jun said indifferently. "It's too hard to go for sales, and I'm so angry. I only worked for two days and said goodbye. Anyway, I will never do sales again in my life."
"Hahahaha!" Zhou Zhengyu laughed loudly, with a contemptuous expression.
Peng Shengli took out some change and said, "I was in financial difficulties last semester. I didn't pay any dividends from the convenience store in the last two months. Each person is eight or five yuan, and there are still some left to expand the scale. The account book can be checked at any time by putting it in the drawer."
"No, you keep it yourself." Li Yaolin waved his hand.
"Business is business, friends are friends," Peng Shengli stubbornly said, "I earned a few hundred yuan during the holidays, and there is definitely no problem with eating. You must take these dividends."
Ding Ming suddenly smiled and said, "What are the points? Just take the money to go to the restaurant and celebrate the start of school!"
"Yes, this idea is good," Wang Bo took all the money directly, "I'll arrange it, and I'll make sure to spend the money tonight."
Peng Shengli quickly took out eight or five again: "Count me one."
"That's right. Don't save money." Zhou Zhengyu smiled and patted Peng Shengli on the shoulder.
Peng Shengli grinned, not knowing how to respond. This was his first time spending a lot of money to make a tooth sacrifice. He used to find various reasons to shirk it. Others knew that his conditions were not good, so they no longer deliberately dragged him to the restaurant.
...
Just as Song Weiyang was having dinner with his roommate, the "Forbes China (Mainland) Billionaire List" had been released in Hong Kong City's "Capitalist" magazine for half a week and was quickly reprinted by mainland media.
The four Liu brothers of Hope Group ranked 10th in China's richest man with net assets of 600 million yuan. Zong Qinghou of Wahaha ranked tenth in the China Rich List with net assets of 200 million yuan. Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group's net assets of less than 300 million yuan, temporarily ranking eighth.
As for Song Weiyang, Song Qizhi and Guo Xiaolan are collectively known as the "Song Family", with a net asset of 100 million yuan, ranking last, ranking 20th.
Before this list appeared, the business stars advocated by Chinese society were either enterprise reformers of state-owned enterprises or well-known township entrepreneurs. As soon as the Forbes Rich List was released, Chinese people suddenly discovered that they could still use money to rank.
From then on, how much wealth a person has gradually become a benchmark for his success.
The Hope Group was also quickly known to the public because of its boss' status as the richest man, and suddenly moved from the remote southwest to the whole country. Even the British magazine "The Economist" came from thousands of miles to give an exclusive interview to the Liu brothers.
Major Chinese media were moved and caught the rich people on the list interviews and reports. Although Song Weiyang and his mother were at the bottom, they also attracted attention again. Even the agents and dealers below said when promoting products: "Did you see it? The boss has been on foreign media magazines. People on the billionaires list will definitely be easy to sell. If you don't sell it, you will lose money!"
The products of companies related to the entire rich list suddenly became more popular. Xifeng ice tea and canned food, Xianjiu and Jiafeng wine, and many retailers were rushing to purchase goods.
Zhou Zhengyu saw the news on the second day of school and was quite surprised, and then joked: "Old Song has become a billionaire. He must kill him a few times and have a big bloodletting!"
So, Song Weiyang treated her to three consecutive days.
Peng Shengli found Song Weiyang privately. After thanking him for helping introduce the work, he asked curiously: "Old Song, what does it feel like to have 100 million yuan?"
"It doesn't feel anything, it's all numbers." Song Weiyang said.
Peng Shengli said: "If I have 100 million yuan, I will definitely use it to deposit it in the bank. This time I did odd jobs, I saved more than 300 yuan, and the bank interest rate was 12.24%. I calculated that if you take 100 million yuan in the bank, the interest rate alone will be more than 10 million yuan per year, which is enough for me to live for several lifetimes!"
Song Weiyang laughed: "You don't calculate the accounts like this. How many people are waiting for me to pay my salary? How can I keep all the money in the bank? And most of this money is fixed assets, and it is difficult for me to call 10 million now. I would like to advise you, if you have an investment opportunity, use the money quickly. The RMB depreciation is too great, and you will lose as much as you save."
Peng Shengli nodded and said, "Money is indeed becoming less and less valuable."
Does the bank storage interest rate of 12.24% look frighteningly high? After 20 years, most companies’ annual profit margins are not so high. If regular periods are added, the storage interest will be even more terrible - the author Jun’s mother deposited for five years in the mid-1990s, and when withdrawing money, she doubled and had the remaining ones.
However, the RMB has depreciated even more severely in recent years!
How powerful is it?
The Treasury bonds issued in 1992 had a face interest rate of 9.5% plus value preservation subsidy. In three years, 100 yuan became 132 yuan. However, the market recognized that the return rate of these Treasury bonds was too low. Compared with the storage interest rate that was constantly raised under severe inflation, it would be better to buy Treasury bonds directly and deposit them in the bank.
So the differences came. Some people believed that the national finance would subsidize the interest rate of Treasury bonds, while some people analyzed the situation and believed that the country would be conservative about interest rate changes. The former kept longing Treasury bonds in the futures market, while the latter was shorting wildly. The two sides had been fighting for three years.
This time, Song Weiyang's money-picking transaction is based on this kind of battle, and the outcome is about to be decided.
When the central government is determined to preserve the value of treasury bonds, any shorting is in vain. Whoever dares to stretch his claws will die, and the general public will also stand on the side of the country.
Well, as a successor of socialism, Song Weiyang also firmly stands on the side of the Party and the country.
Chapter completed!
