Chapter 56: Touched
The two brothers walked out of the village, and Lin Fang asked: "Jiangang, what happened to the leader who came to the house to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts? Who is here?"
Lin Jiangang knew that his elder brother was going to ask about this, so he immediately said: "That person's surname is Zhao. He is not tall, a little fat, and has a round face. He said he is your factory director."
"Zhao Yongliang?" Lin Fang was surprised.
Lin Jiangang shook his head: "He didn't say his name. Every time he came, he drove a jeep. It was a bit old. The second time he came, he almost couldn't start it. The driver took a long time to drive away.
I came twice in total, the first time was on the 23rd day of the New Year, and the second time was on the 28th day. I brought something with me each time.
I gave you rice, flour, oil, gifts, and some vegetables, saying they were condolences and welfare given to you by the factory. The second time I came over, I gave you two hundred yuan back to your family, saying it was holiday expenses.
Although he didn't say what was going on, he was very anxious every time he came and kept asking when you would come back.
Brother, is there really something going on?
You've already resigned, why are you still looking for me?"
Lin Fang also frowned. He couldn't figure out what the other party was doing now, but he was sure it was Zhao Yongliang.
No one else can match the number.
He shook his head and said: "I don't know about this either. I'll call him later and find out what happened.
As for things, if he wants to give them to you, let him give them to you. If he dares to give them to you, just keep them. It doesn’t matter!"
In his mind, he probably still had something to do with the five thousand yuan, but he didn't know the specifics yet.
"Brother, did you really grab that golden job when you went out this time? I felt that there were piles of stuff sewn into your military coat, but it didn't feel like money. Money doesn't last that long!"
Lin Jian just thought it was all money at first, but then he sneaked into the house and touched it again. It didn't seem like it, and he was very curious about what it was!
Lin Fang smiled: "That is indeed not money, but it can also be regarded as money!"
Lin Jiangang was confused. It wasn't money, but something that could be regarded as money. It was paper. He couldn't figure it out!
Lin Fang was also ready to tell his brother something more, so he said: "That's called a stock subscription certificate. I won't tell you more about what it is. Anyway, it's a good thing.
The items were initially sold for 30 yuan each and were sold to the public. The state only sold them to Shanghainese people. Unfortunately, Shanghainese people were ungrateful and said the state was cheating money. The staff begged relatives and friends not to buy them!"
Lin Jiangang's eyes suddenly widened: "Thirty yuan a piece, so expensive!
Brother, did you buy this certificate with all the money you brought?"
Lin Fang smiled and nodded: "Well, I have indeed bought this thing.
And that's not all. The money I brought with me was only enough to buy 1,600 sheets. Later, I found a way to make some money in Shanghai and bought another 2,500 sheets. There were 4,000 sheets in the military coat, and there were another 100 sheets.
It’s in my schoolbag, I can show it to you when I get back!”
Lin Jiangang was already stunned. One piece was 30 yuan, 1,600 was 48,000 yuan, and the 2,500 was 75,000 yuan. He really couldn't figure out what his elder brother could do to earn 75,000 yuan after being out for so many days, and that didn't include food, drinks and accommodation.
!
"Brother, what have you done? Are you going to steal money?"
Apart from this, Lin Jiangang really can't think of any other way to make so much money so quickly.
Lin Fang raised his hand and slapped his brother on the head: "What are you talking about? How could your brother do such illegal things!"
Lin Jiangang cursed in a low voice: "The 50,000 yuan you had before was just a blackmail!"
"Are you looking for a beating?" Lin Fang suddenly turned dark.
After glaring at his brother, he said: "This time is different, this time it's business! Serious business!"
"Business? What kind of business can you make so much money?" Lin Jiangang obviously didn't believe it.
Lin Fang then briefly talked about selling calendars.
"Small businesses certainly can't transfer so much money. If you want to make big money, you have to use your brain, think of ways, and pay back the money with money.
You know too little now, and you don’t understand what I tell you too much. You only need to do one thing now, go to school after the New Year, study hard, and try your best to get into college.
Jianmei will go too. You two should study hard and try your best to get into a good university.
When you go to college, go out and see the world, make more friends, hear more about other places and other people, and read more books, you will naturally know a lot of things.
What you don’t understand now, you will understand by yourself then!
When the time comes, we brothers will make a lot of money together!"
Lin Jiangang was very excited when he heard his brother's story. He had never thought that making money could be so crazy. This was simply a money grab.
He felt that those Shanghainese people were a bit stupid, being deceived by their elder brother and yet still coming over to give them money.
Even if his reason told him that those people were definitely not stupid.
Lin Fang opened a skylight for Lin Jiangang with his things, making him realize for the first time that he really seemed to understand nothing and knew nothing.
The conversation between the two brothers today was very stimulating to him, but it also made him really accept his elder brother's suggestion to study hard.
Because the eldest brother only became so good after reading a lot of books, and he also wants to become so good that he can travel all over the world and make a lot of money.
Suddenly I remembered what I had just interrupted my brother and asked quickly: "Brother, what kind of certificate did you just say that people in Shanghai didn't buy it at first? What happened next?"
Lin Fang then picked up the previous topic and said: "The stock subscription certificate was originally a welfare pilot given to Shanghai people by the state in Shanghai, and it was also a once-in-a-century opportunity to make a fortune.
It's a pity that Shanghainese people think that taking things is a scam and don't buy it, and the price of 30 yuan a piece is too high.
But Shanghainese don’t buy it, but they are always discerning people. Many outsiders saw the opportunity, so they spent money to buy it like me.
This thing must be sold. Since Shanghainese won’t buy it, it has to be sold to outsiders like me.
On February 1st, which was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, sales stopped. As a result, just one day later, on the 30th day, the price of subscription certificates increased. One originally bought for 30 yuan could be sold for 40 yuan or 45 yuan.
, do you think it’s expensive now?”
In fact, the price went up on the day sales were stopped, but Lin Fang was no longer in the hotel and didn’t know it.
Lin Jiangang's eyes widened again: "Doesn't that mean that the certificates in your military coat have been earned now... uh..."
He didn't calculate how much money it was at once, and it took him a long time to say: "One ticket earns at least 10 yuan, so don't you already earn at least 40,000 yuan?"
Lin Fang shook his head and said: "How can it be so little? I left Shanghai on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the price of a subscription certificate had already risen to a minimum of 200 yuan!"
"What? 200 yuan?"
Lin Jiangang is simply unimaginable.
An item that originally cost 30 yuan has increased almost seven times in a few days. This is really scary.
After a while, he seemed to finally realize something. He looked at his brother with a horrified face and said, "Brother, haven't you already made money now..."
He couldn't figure it out anymore.
It's not that he has a bad mind, it's that he is too shocked inside and can no longer calm down.
He counted his fingers and thought for a long time before tentatively asking: "Brother, do you already have one million now?"
When I said the three words "one million", my voice was trembling.
Lin Fang nodded and smiled: "Yes, I guess the price of this thing will rise in the future, and it will rise to a very scary level.
So, after settling you and Jianmei into school, I will go to Shanghai again!"
Lin Jiangang was completely convinced. If his eldest brother hadn't said this, he wouldn't have believed a word of it.
"When you go back, be strict with your mouth and don't say a word about this to anyone.
I'll look at the situation later, and if possible, I'm going to take you to school in the city. Our mother will also go to the city, so she can cook for you every day, and you don't have to do other things at home.
The money I earn is enough for our family to live casually, and for my mother to enjoy herself."
When Lin Jiang just heard that he was going to the city, his heart trembled again.
Life has changed so fast that he really can't digest it.
Lin Fang patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said: "From now on, you and Jianmei will go to school hard, read more, and buy whatever you want. Brother will take care of the money!"
But remember, you kid, if you dare not go to school well, I will be really rude and I will definitely beat you up!"
As he spoke, he raised his fist.
Even though Lin Jiangang was physically stronger than Lin Fang, he was still a little afraid of this elder brother. He immediately shrank his neck and said quickly: "Brother, I will definitely go to school hard and get into college!"
Only then was Lin Fang satisfied. He raised his hand and touched his brother's short hair twice.
Short hair is very prickly and the palms of my hands are itchy. The more I touch it, the more I want to touch it!
The two walked around a lot outside, and when they returned home, they found that their sister Jianmei had washed all the dirty clothes he had changed, and her little hands and face were red with cold.
Lin Fang suddenly felt distressed.
Although he had only known this sister for a few days, this moment really made him feel distressed.
He is already 17 years old and about 1.65 meters tall, but his body is very thin.
Although girls look slender when they are thin, Lin Fang doesn't like girls who are skinny and skinny. It would be more comfortable if they were a little plump and strong.
What's more, this is my biological sister, so she looks uncomfortable no matter how thin she is.
"Why are you washing clothes on such a cold day? You can't wait until the weather clears up!" Lin Fang couldn't help but scolded.
"Hurry back home, apply some balsam, and warm yourself on the kang. Don't get frostbite!" he urged.
In fact, he already had frostbite. He saw it the last time he came back, but it hasn't healed yet this time.
As soon as he came back, he could see clearly that the little finger and index finger of his sister's left hand were thicker than the other fingers. The middle finger and ring finger of her right hand were also obviously swollen. There seemed to be a crack on the thumb. It was definitely frostbite that later opened.
!
Lin Jianmei smiled and said: "It's okay, if you don't wash your clothes, what will you do with them later?"
Brother, you are the face of our family now. It would be embarrassing if you were dressed dirty!
Big brother, second brother, please go inside and warm yourself up, don’t catch a cold!”
After saying that, he entered the room.
