Chapter 19 Cents

Time flies so fast, one month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Schools have begun to have holidays. Lu Hao has been at home these days, always practicing his poor spoken English in front of Lu Ye from time to time.

Lu Ye knew clearly that Lu Hao was targeting him.

Then I thought about it and realized that it had been almost a month and a half, so it was indeed time to divide the money.

Early in the morning, Lu Ye came to Yu Yang's house. By this time, Yu Yang and Kang Jian had already started working.

There is no way, who makes Lu Ye the uncle?

All the money he earned was hidden in Yuyang's house, in a small pickle jar.

Yu Yang dug a hole in the ground of his house, buried the jar underground, and then covered the house with red bricks to hide it very secretly.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is just a house built by a foreigner. In this era, most people's houses are still full of pits.

However, all three of them still felt unsafe, so they had to keep people at home, and the three of them took turns guarding the house.

Looking at the busy two people, Lu Ye turned back and locked the courtyard door directly.

"Stop it, go inside and talk." After confirming that the door was locked, Lu Ye shouted to the two of them.

The three of them entered the house.

Lu Ye took out the account book, holding a pen in one hand and the account book in the other, and started counting one by one.

"Brother Ye, what's going on?" Kang Jian asked.

Yu Yang sat on the kang and watched Lu Ye settle the accounts without asking any questions.

"Collect the bill and let's split the money!"

Lu Ye said with a smile: "Yu Yang, take out the money jar, you two count the money, I will check the accounts, and we will work faster together."

"I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time!" After hearing Lu Ye's words, Yu Yang jumped off the kang, ran to the outhouse to get the stove hook, and started counting on the red brick floor.

After confirming the location, Yu Yang used a stove hook to pry open the red bricks on the ground, revealing a layer of sand and mud on top.

Yu Yang used a stove hook to dig open the dried mud, revealing the lid of the jar.

He casually opened the lid of the jar, and Yu Yang lay on the ground and put his hand into the jar.

I grabbed a lot of money, all of which were bills with a face value of one hundred yuan.

On the front are the heads of the four leaders of China, and on the back is the red base Jinggangshan.

Looking at the large handful of blue-flowered banknotes, Kang Jian was a little dizzy. He had never seen so much money.

"Go on, Brother Jian." Yu Yang lay on the ground, holding the money in his right hand and handing it to Kang Jian.

After being called by Yu Yang, Kang Jian came to his senses, quickly stretched out his hands, took the money from Yu Yang's hand, and put it on the kang.

Handfuls of hundred-dollar bills were placed on the kang by Kang Jian.

"It's gone this time. The last one I put in should have been exactly 20,000 yuan. There are still some in the back of the closet, maybe 3,000 yuan."

Yu Yang was very attentive. When the quantity was large, he arranged the payment for each shipment in advance. Basically, he only had enough working capital for three days' wages in his hand, and Yu Yang put away the rest.

Lu Ye checked the accounts and calculated the income and expenses of these days.

The so-called ledger is just a record of daily expenses and income, which is very simple.

Yu Yang and Kang Jian counted the money.

In broad daylight, the light outside is stronger, and the inside of the house cannot be seen from the outside.

After counting hundreds of yuan, it turned out to be exactly 20,000 yuan. Yu Yang took out a small pocket bag from the back of the big wardrobe, which was bulging with money.

"There's all the change here, let's count it out."

With that said, Yu Yang unzipped his pocket and poured the money on the kang.

One cents, two cents, one dollar, two cents, all sorted out in advance according to face value.

It was all compressed in the pocket and nothing could be seen. When I took it out, it suddenly rebounded and turned into a small pile.

Lu Ye raised his head for a glance, then lowered his head again and continued to do the calculations.

Kang Jian grabbed a handful, pinched the money with his left hand, put his right hand on his mouth, soaked it with spit, and then began to count the money vigorously.

Yu Yang didn't stop either, and the two of them counted the money.

When is the happiest time to do business?

It was time to split the money!

Lu Ye, Yu Yang, and Kang Jian worked hard for a month, from making a hundred yuan a day to making over a thousand yuan a day, with a daily net income of more than 500 yuan. Kang Jian looked at the money

, which makes me feel happy.

He is not like Yu Yang. Although Yu Yang is alone, there is no famine (debt) following him, and unlike Lu Ye, he is flexible and has many solutions.

Because of his fight, Kang Jian's family not only lost all their money, but also owed a lot of foreign debt. Uncle Kang already had gray hair on his temples, which was all because of worry.

Health is in my eyes and anxious in my heart.

Here, Yu Yang and Kang Jian counted the money, and the total was 23,532 yuan and 2 cents.

Lu Ye was almost right over there. There was a slight difference between the book and the actual amount, but the amount was not large. Lu Ye didn't care, let alone mentioned it.

There is no professional accounting like this, it is just a simple record, and it is inevitable that there will be errors.

"The 3,532 yuan won't move and will be kept as reserve fund for daily expenses. Let's divide the 20,000 yuan today."

Lu Ye drew a long line on the last line of the account book with the pen in his hand, and then recorded the word "Red" below, wrote a few more words, and completed the account.

Then close the ledger and throw it aside.

Lu Ye clasped his hands together in front of his chest and rubbed it vigorously. Lu Ye was also very happy, because after all, this was the first money he earned after his rebirth.

When Yu Yang heard this, he sorted out the scattered money and put it into his pocket.

Kang Jian looked at the two piles of hundred-dollar bills on the kang eagerly, and couldn't help but swallowed.

"As agreed before, Kangjian will get 15%, which is a total of 3,000 yuan."

Lu Ye reached out and picked up a pile of money, took out 30 pieces from it, confirmed it, and handed it to Kang Jian.

Kang Jian grinned almost to the back of his head. He took the money from Lu Ye, held it in his hand, and counted it again excitedly.

It's not that he doesn't trust Lu Ye, but he simply likes the feeling of counting money.

"Yu Yang takes 35%, which is 7,000 yuan in total." After Lu Ye said this, he stopped counting the money in his hand and handed it directly to Yu Yang.

This money was all counted and divided by Yu Yang and Kang Jian. One pile was worth 10,000 yuan.

"I'll take 50%, which is exactly 10,000. This pile is mine, so I won't be polite."

Lu Ye reached out and picked up the whole pile from the kang, which happened to be ten thousand, without counting, and put it directly into his trouser pocket.

In one and a half months, Kang Jian made 3,000 yuan. He was extremely happy. He said to Lu Ye and Yu Yang: "Brother Ye, Yoko, let's go have a good meal. I'll treat you!"

Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Not today. It's not safe to carry so much money on me. You should take the money home quickly and don't lose it."

"Brother Ye is right. There are too many thieves these days. It's better to be careful and wait until tomorrow to go to a restaurant."

Yu Yang nodded, thinking Lu Ye was right.

Lu Ye looked at Yu Yang and said: "Yangzi, it's best to open an account in the bank and save the money. There are so many people here now, so it's better to be careful. I'm also going to open a bank account. We'll do it later.

We can do it together.”

After dividing the money, Kang Jian continued to stay at home, firstly to look after the house, and secondly, to wait for the employees who had gone out to come back.

Lu Ye and Yu Yang went to the street, where there was a bank.

In the 1990s, banks were already very common. Big banks such as Agricultural Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China had few branches, but they were all opened in various cities.

It's just that people in this era are still used to hiding money at home and are not used to depositing money in banks.

In order to attract deposits, banks set interest rates on deposits very high.

For example, in April 1990, the 5-year time deposit interest rate was as high as 13.66%, so terrifying!

And this is still not the highest. In July 1993, the interest rate for a five-year fixed deposit was 13.86%, which was the peak of deposit interest rates.

What follows is a sharp interest rate cut, sometimes even three times a year.
