Chapter 8: Industrial Infrastructure Construction Vouchers
The "May 1st International Labor Day" is coming soon, and the students in the dormitory are all busy. Some are busy shopping and preparing gifts for home; some are busy packing their luggage, not to mention graduation is approaching.
Things that cannot be carried or are of no use should be disposed of, and things that can be bought should be bought, and things that cannot be bought should be given away or thrown away.
In Wang Xiaobo's dormitory, Dong Chenxi was also sorting out his big suitcase. There was a lot of garbage piled up on the bed. Suddenly, he picked out two industrial infrastructure coupons he bought two years ago and threw them aside. Maybe it was his gesture.
It was too heavy, and one of the industrial infrastructure coupons landed lightly on Wang Xiaobo's face as he got out of bed. Wang Xiaobo picked it up and saw that it was an industrial infrastructure coupon with a denomination of ten yuan. He has a hobby, which is to think about things he doesn't understand.
He tried every possible means to understand him, and was willing to give up until he understood it. At this time, he became interested in this small piece of paper again, and began to study it seriously. He studied the front side, turned it over, and carefully read the instructions on the back.
The People's Government of Southern Province, supervised by the Southern Provincial Branch of the National People's Bank of China, was issued in January 1979 and expired in January 1981. The People's Bank of China across the province exchanged it uniformly, so they shouted: "Second brother, this industrial infrastructure construction coupon is also
The RMB has expired and can be exchanged at the bank."
When Dong Chenxi heard this, his eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Can I go to the bank to exchange RMB now? Really?" This 20-yuan industrial infrastructure voucher, which was referred to as the construction voucher at the time, was forcibly allocated by the school two years ago.
Since Wang Xiaobo's family was poor and couldn't afford it, his second brother helped him buy it for 10 yuan. At that time, Southern Province reported to the State Council, and the National People's Bank of China agreed to issue industrial infrastructure coupons in denominations of 10 yuan in Southern Province to finance the construction of a first-class building.
A batch of large-scale enterprises that the country urgently needs to develop are raising funds. More than ten large-scale enterprises such as Nanfang Steel Factory, Nanfang Cement Factory, and Nanfang Bicycle Factory were built in the past two years. This was actually a pilot project for the State Council to issue treasury bonds on January 16 this year.
At that time, the Southern Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government issued notices at all levels, asking the people of the province to actively subscribe. Perhaps for this new thing in the new society, not only the common people did not have the investment awareness of 10% annual interest, but even the leaders did not have this far-reaching idea.
The investment awareness is much higher than bank interest, and it is forcibly allocated to complete the task.
"It clearly says on the construction certificate that it can be redeemed, of course." Wang Xiaobo said plausibly.
Upon hearing this, the other three people hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and found a total of 50 yuan in construction coupons for the four of them. Wang Xiaobo said: "Anyway, if you have nothing to do, I will go to the bank." Seeing that everyone was noncommittal, he ran over happily.
I went to the bank to exchange construction bonds.
Wang Xiaobo went to the window of People's Bank of China and timidly handed over five construction coupons. The person who received him was a 30-year-old lady. She only looked at the five construction coupons briefly and exchanged them for 60 yuan.
Another waiter said with a smile: "This construction coupon has expired for more than four months, and this is the first one to redeem it."
Wang Xiaobo took the 60 yuan exchanged and thought about what the bank lady said, and suddenly discovered a business opportunity. The 20% premium exchange for construction and construction bonds may hide huge profit margins. I remember that the construction and construction bonds were issued at that time.
At that time, the superiors required that purchases be made based on the number of people in the unit, and some unit leaders forced apportionment. Most units were afraid that they would not be able to implement it, so they used small treasury to purchase collectively. He thought, if people don’t really understand the construction vouchers yet, use 1
If you buy it at face value of 1:1 and exchange it from the bank at 1:1·2, the profit will be considerable.
Wang Xiaobo thought about it and immediately put it into practice. He turned back to the bank, took out 10,000 yuan from the passbook given by Wen Weibing, and put it into his military satchel. After thinking about it, he took the bus to Qianjiang City Second Cotton Textile Factory.
The Second Cotton Textile Factory is a large state-owned enterprise in the city with more than a thousand employees. It had great success in its early years, but has gradually declined in recent years.
When Wang Xiaobo entered the factory, he didn't go to any trouble. He just showed his student ID card and said he was an intern, and was let in. He went to the financial department of the factory, which took a lot of trouble. After asking several people, he finally arrived in a building behind the factory.
In the office building, he found the office with the sign of the Finance Department. Wang Xiaobo knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he walked in and asked, "Is the section chief here?"
There were five people sitting in the office, with two tables on each side. On the last table in the middle, a middle-aged man wearing glasses raised his head and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"I come from a bank to exchange construction and construction coupons at your doorstep. The exchange rate is 1:1." Wang Xiaobo said with a smile on his face.
"Construction coupons?" the middle-aged man wearing glasses asked doubtfully.
"Section Chief, there are more than 10,000 yuan of construction coupons left in the safe for several years?" A thirty-year-old lady sitting on the left side of the front row reminded the section chief.
"Well, I think about it, it's been several years. Come, comrade, take a seat. Your bank's service is really attentive now, and they even come to your door. Thank you! Thank you!" The section chief immediately became enthusiastic.
"Yes, when the country was in difficulty, it was commendable that everyone enthusiastically subscribed for construction bonds. Nowadays, banks should also provide door-to-door service." Wang Xiaobo sang a high-profile song.
At this time, the 30-year-old eldest sister had already opened the safe, took out the construction coupons, and started counting them. After a while, she counted them all, totaling 1,030 yuan.
Without saying a word, Wang Xiaobo took out 10,000 yuan from his satchel, and another 30 yuan from his pocket, and handed them to the section chief who wore glasses.
The section chief was a little unbelievable when he saw how simple it was. The factory director was going to Beijing for public relations in the next few days and needed money urgently. He was in trouble, and this money was undoubtedly a timely help. He was so happy that he thanked him profusely and sent him away politely.
Factory gate.
After Wang Xiaobo came out, he went straight to a nearby People's Bank of China. This time, he was greeted by a young man in his twenties. He looked at the construction and construction certificates, and maybe he didn't understand, so he called over a man in his forties.
A middle-aged man of many years old. As soon as the man saw that it was a construction voucher, he said: "Exchange it at a rate of 1 to 1.2." The young man said no more. After carefully counting the construction vouchers, he redeemed it for
He has 12,036 yuan.
Wang Xiaobo was excited, tmd, this money was made too fast. He wanted to keep running, but then he thought, why not find something for Xiaomei to do, which can make money and get away from that kind of place. So he went to Duba
When I arrived at the karaoke hall, I saw that Du Bayi was not there, so I didn't care, so I grabbed Xiaomei and ran away. When I saw him, Xiaomei became happy, called her brother affectionately, and ran with me.
Got out.
When Wang Xiaobo saw that there was a thermos cup factory next door, he greeted the guard and said he was from a bank, so he went straight to the finance room. There were only two middle-aged women in the finance room. When he heard their purpose, he took out 340 yuan from the safe without saying a word.
Give him the construction coupons to redeem.
Wang Xiaobo led Xiaomei to six nearby units within an hour. Although one group did not buy anything, they only exchanged 30 yuan in the secretary's office. The six units added up to a total of 12,180 yuan. ren
When the price reached RMB 14,616, Xiaomei opened her mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief: "How can you make this money so easily?"
Wang Xiaobo did not answer directly, but asked: "Can you do this job?"
"This is too simple, who can't do it?" Xiaomei replied.
"Well, take the fourteen thousand yuan and run it first to some factories and mines, and then to the company, government, or office. How about giving you 50 yuan for expenses every day?" Wang Xiaobo asked with a smile.
Xiaomei was a little unbelievable: "Really? Are you relieved?"
"Brother, if you don't trust your sister, just do it boldly and I believe you." Wang Xiaobo said sincerely.
Seeing Xiaomei standing there blankly, not knowing why, he patted her shoulder again and said: "There is no need to go to the karaoke hall, hurry up and run. I estimate that this business will only last two or three months. From now on, everyone will
Once you know it, it won’t be that easy.”
Xiaomei held a bag of money and was really moved. With her brother's sincerity and trust, she secretly made up her mind that whether she would be his woman or not, she would love him and follow him for the rest of her life.
Wang Xiaobo looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, so he said: "How about we go to another restaurant and have dinner again?" Seeing Xiaomei nodded in agreement, he added: "There is a towel factory ahead.
, this time you go in alone, I will wait for you at the door, give it a try, okay?"
"Okay! It's up to me." Xiaomei had long wanted to give it a try, so after saying that, she went straight to the factory.
Wang Xiaobo waited at the door for nearly 20 minutes, and saw Xiaomei running out happily, holding his hand and saying excitedly: "The harvest is great, I exchanged it for 12,000 yuan, and the section chief even thanked me.
."
"Okay, you passed! Let's go, let's exchange money for dinner." Wang Xiaobo was also happy, holding her hand and leaving.
When the two of them were holding hands and passing by the entrance of the overseas Chinese store, a middle-aged man in work clothes stopped them and asked softly: "Do you want a foreign exchange coupon? One hundred for two hundred."
Wang Xiaobo stopped and said, "I'll exchange it for 300 yuan, what's the price?"
"Six hundred yuan, fixed price."
"Five hundred yuan."
"Five hundred and eighty yuan."
"Five hundred and twenty dollars."
The two stood at the door of the overseas Chinese store and started bargaining, and finally exchanged 550 yuan for a 300 yuan foreign exchange voucher. After receiving the foreign exchange vouchers, the two entered the overseas Chinese store together. Wang Xiaobo sold a permanent brand women's bicycle and a shoulder bag.
With some clothes, Xiaomei was packaged to make her look more like a professional woman.
After coming out, Xiaomei felt a little embarrassed and blamed him for being too wasteful.
Wang Xiaobo said with a smile: "It is easier to run with a bicycle. This is efficiency. Besides, there is an old saying, Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes. This will make it easier to get in and out of the unit."
"You are always reasonable." Xiaomei rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly.
Wang Xiaobo said nothing more and rode on his newly sold bicycle. He took Xiaomei to the bank first, exchanged the 12,000 yuan construction certificate for the towel factory, and ate a bowl of noodles. After the meal, the two made an appointment again.
, we went to the lake to play together during the May Day break, and summarized our experience in redeeming construction vouchers. Xiaomei continued to go to work on her bicycle, while Wang Xiaobo returned to school.
