For half a month, people in Los Angeles watched the show quietly, knowing very well that early morning drinks would no longer work.
But Ye Chen didn't care about these so-called rumors at all, and went to work and off work as usual.
When I returned home at night, I found that all the lights in the house were turned off and it was pitch black. I almost fell down.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Chen turned on the light and said, "Is there a power outage or something?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Lingya sitting on the sofa, her expression was not good, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"I went to see you today. Teacher Li told me everything about you."
"ah?
What's going on?"
"He said that your factory has suffered a lot of losses recently, losing more than 10,000 yuan a day to outsiders. I know you want to make money, and you want my dad to think highly of you, but...but..." Liu Lingya said, speaking directly
Cried.
"No, no, no! My dear grandma, I beg you, don't cry!"
Ye Chen quickly said, what he hates most in his life is a woman crying.
"I really don't want you to continue. You leave early and come home late. Teacher Li said that banks won't lend you money. Where do you think you can borrow money?"
I'm just afraid, I'm afraid you'll do that..."
"Definitely!"
Ye Chen quickly stopped, "The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!"
"I know best whether I am short of money or not. Do you see how panicked I am?
Also, who told you that I did this to impress your dad?
He counts, but in the business world, I am his grandfather!"
"Okay, stop crying, pack up and go to bed!"
Ye Chen said and started to wash up and go to sleep.
Before going to bed, I checked the date. Xu Hong should be back tomorrow morning.
If I never come back, I really can't hold on anymore.
The factory workers have been dawdling in the past two days. They don't need so much production capacity for the time being, so they don't care. However, this situation cannot continue, otherwise the workers will collapse before the money comes.
…
At around ten o'clock the next day, Xu Hong came back in his rented pickup truck.
As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed the water on the table and took a sip, and then said: "Mr. Ye, I have done everything you asked me to do, and not a cent of the 150,000 yuan will be left!"
"Well, he is a good son of a prodigal woman."
Ye Chen stood up and walked towards the pickup truck.
When I opened it, I saw that it was full of colorful paper: Treasury bills!
In the 1980s, the country wanted to develop the economy and build infrastructure, but was short of money, so it had to borrow money from the people. Therefore, it issued treasury bills, which are equivalent to IOUs for borrowing money.
Of course, this IOU is guaranteed by the state and is the safest way to manage finances. The face value of the treasury bill is also higher than the purchase value.
In other words, a treasury bill with a face value of 10 yuan can be bought at a bank for 7 yuan, which is also a welfare for the people.
But the problem is that people in that era were very illiterate and didn't understand what treasury bills were at all, so the issuance of treasury bills was not smooth.
In other words, the country cannot borrow money.
Because the development prospects at that time were so good, in order to prevent the development speed from being restricted by funds, the superiors issued treasury bill indicators to local governments.
The government then assigned the indicators to various agencies and units, and finally implemented them on civil servants.
Therefore, at that time, the wages of almost all government agencies and units were paid with a combination of treasury bills and cash.
It's just that under the previous regulations, treasury bonds cannot be freely bought and sold, and cannot be circulated as currency, so many people think that treasury bonds are a money trap and are of no use at all, just a piece of waste paper.
But not long ago, the country has issued new regulations, and treasury bills can be bought and sold freely!
Moreover, different places have different exchange ratios for treasury bills. For a 100 denomination treasury bill, some places can exchange it for 98, and some places can exchange it for 110!
However, the communications in this era were so backward that many people in small cities did not know what was going on and thought that treasury bills were just pieces of paper.
Ye Chen's plan is to buy treasury bills at cheap places and then resell them elsewhere to earn the price difference. The purpose of sending Xu Hong out these days is to buy treasury bills!
"Has the acquisition gone smoothly these days?"
Ye Chen looked at Xu Hong and asked with a smile.
"It went well. Everyone thought this thing was useless. When they saw someone taking money to collect it, of course they sold it happily. I collected all the treasury bonds of several cities around me. I counted them, and there were a total of 160,000 treasury bonds.
.”
"Well, you'll be guarding the factory these two days. I'm going to go out with these goods. I might be back tomorrow."
Ye Chen said.
Xu Hong nodded in understanding, he still liked to guard the factory.
Ye Chen checked the treasury bills, didn't waste any time, and took the driver directly to Harbin, near Luo City.
It's still not far away, it will be there in one day.
When we arrived in the city, we drove directly towards the bank.
Ye Chen came to the bank and asked about the price. The exchange ratio was 1:120!
In other words, the pile of 160,000 treasury bills collected for 150,000 in his hand can be converted into 190,000 in cash!
Ye Chen took out a cart full of treasury bills without thinking, shocking the bank staff!
After counting all the afternoon, I changed the money for Ye Chen.
With the money in hand, Ye Chen returned to the factory the next morning and slapped the money on the table. "Look, I said I could get the money."
Xu Hong took it and counted it, "Thirty thousand more?"
You gained 30,000 yuan in one night?"
Ye Chen took a sip of water, then explained to Xu Hong the origin of the money, and then gave him a note and said: "Thirty thousand is a small amount of money, don't make such a fuss, I just tested the water, it seems like there is no
questionable."
"From now on, this matter will be left to you. With a start-up capital of 200,000 yuan, go to these cities immediately to purchase treasury bonds."
"Whether it's personal, government, or bank, it's all about it, the more the better!"
"Then you take it to Shanghai and exchange all the money for me into RMB!"
"Within ten days, I want to see one million on our company's accounts!"
After Xu Hong heard this, he was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen this way of making money. He knew about treasury bonds, but this was the first time he heard about the different exchange ratios between cities.
According to this exchange ratio, one million in ten days is really not that difficult!
Thinking about it, Xu Hong hurriedly ran out with the money and drove to buy treasury bonds.
In his hand was a note Ye Chen gave him, with the names of seven big cities written on it.
…
After Xu Hong left, Ye Chen called Li Quanlin and looked at the account. There was still more than 20,000 yuan left. According to the current speed of sending money, this money would be gone in three days at most, and it would not last ten days at all.
"Ten days, I can't hold on!"
Ye Chen murmured to himself.
"Mr. Ye, let's lower the profit percentage a little bit?"
Li Quanlin saw Ye Chen's dilemma and said.
"No, it can't go down. Once it goes down, the dealers will attack Liu's Beverage in an all-round way. From today on, the workers will work from nine to five and slow down the production speed. No matter how slow it is, we must ensure that
The loss cannot exceed two thousand in a day."
"The money from the raw material suppliers will be delayed first, and the purchase of raw materials will be reduced. In terms of wages, we will first give the management's wages to let them stabilize the workers' emotions."
"All in all, if we survive these ten days, victory will be ours!"
"Oh, okay!"
Li Quanlin knew that Ye Chen was also at his wits end, so the last sentence was just to cheer him up!
He didn't know if he could survive ten days, but he knew that after ten days, what was supposed to come would still come.
