Counterattack 1988

Chapter 19 Paste the Matchbox
Before the official opening of treasury bond trading, Wang Lin also knew that his private purchase of treasury bills was indeed a black market activity.

Therefore, he didn't dare to go outside to collect treasury bills. He only found familiar workers to collect them in his own factory.

Soon, the workers in the Shenfang Mill all knew that there was a "fool" who recycled treasury bills.

To workers, T-bills were paper.

It will take up to nine years to pay, isn't it just like paper?

All in all, even the minimum inflation rate can't match it!

Look at the soaring prices now, what is the use of treasury bills in your hands?
The sooner you exchange money, the sooner you can enjoy the dividends brought by money and the happiness brought by consumption!

So, within a week, all the money in Wang Lin's hand was exchanged for treasury bills issued in 85 and 86.

The colleagues in the machine repair class all laughed at Wang Lin as a fool who exchanged real money for a pile of useless waste paper.

Li Wenxiu could only lament and sigh.

Wang Lin couldn't listen to what she said!

After persuading her so hard, Wang Lin blocked her mouth with words: "You and I are getting divorced anyway, why do you care about me so much?"

Li Wenxiu was so angry that she finally made a big move and called Wang Lin's uncle Wang Donghai over.

Uncle is an employee of the Shencheng Match Factory. The match factory in the 80s was considered a good unit. Citizens used matches. Lighters are a fashionable thing. They have been popular in the West for decades, but they are the same as sanitary napkins because of the price. It was difficult to enter our country. Until the end of the 90s, the sales volume of the match factory was still very impressive.

Wang Donghai came with his daughter Wang Lin.

Wang Lin is completely different from her cousin Wang Lin. After graduating from high school, she worked in a match factory. Can earn dozens of dollars more!

As soon as Wang Lin came in, she chatted with Li Wenxiu. The two were about the same age, and they were both female workers. They couldn't finish talking.

Li Wenxiu asked her, how much money can I make by pasting matchboxes?

Wang Lin said that it depends on how fast you can paste. There are many people who can paste [-] pieces a day, and some earn hundreds of yuan a month.

Shencheng Match Factory is a large factory that produces more than [-] million boxes of matches every month. Pasting matchboxes requires a lot of work. It is not cost-effective to hire regular workers. They are all outsourced workers.

Wang Lin asked with a smile: "You and my brother are both full-time employees, and the wages are not low. There are no seniors at the top and no young at the bottom. Do you still need to do this kind of outsourcing work? It's boring and boring."

Of course Li Wenxiu can’t say that I want to return your brother’s 150 yuan gift money, but just smiled and said: “The price of goods is rising too fast now, the professors in the university have a salary of [-] yuan, and they all come out to set up stalls to sell tea eggs What! I'm off work at night, and I'm watching TV at home anyway, so I might as well find something to do, don't you think?"

Wang Lin said: "That's true. The prices have risen too much now. My family can hardly afford meat. This is good. If you want to do it, I will tell the factory and get you [-] sets first. "

Li Wenxiu asked: "How much money can I earn after finishing [-] sets?"

Wang Lin said: "Now the wages are high, and you can earn 7 yuan for [-] sets!"

Li Wenxiu exclaimed in surprise, "Such a high wage!"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Now that the market economy is in place, there are fewer people doing this. In [-], [-] sets only earned one yuan and twenty cents! At that time, I was still young, and I also helped paste matchboxes at home. Tell me, when I was a child, I liked those beautiful sparkle stickers, and I hid them secretly, but in the end, I hid more and more, and my mother found out and beat me up!"

The two burst out laughing.

Wang Lin was talking with his uncle, and when he heard their laughter like silver bells, he asked, "What are you talking about?"

Li Wenxiu rolled his eyes at him: "I won't tell you!"

Wang Lin smiled helplessly.

Wang Donghai coughed lightly: "Xiao Lin, do you remember what I told you? The money you earn must be handed over to Wenxiu for safekeeping! She will take care of the money! The money is in your hands, and it will be spent within two days Already!"

Wang Lin smiled awkwardly: "Uncle, this is my family business, so just leave it alone."

Wang Donghai said sternly: "Can I leave you alone? Your parents died early! You finally got a wife, and you still don't know how to cherish it? You still don't follow the right path? I heard from Wenxiu that you take all the money from the family. Came here to buy treasury bills? That thing is a pile of paper, what are you buying it for? You must have been cheated by others!"

Wang Lin didn't know what to say for a while.

There is a big gap between his way of thinking and theirs!
People around him can't understand his thinking, but he can't follow their thinking!

"Uncle, the country has liberalized the trading of treasury bills. I predict that the price of treasury bills will definitely rise."

"Up? How do you know?"

"When there is buying and selling, there will be a price difference. This is the law of economics."

"Are you so sure?"

"Fate is in charge of shuffling the cards, but we are the ones who play the cards. What we can see with our eyes is the height we can reach. You think I'm a loser, but I'm actually making money."

"..." Wang Donghai looked at this nephew as if he didn't know him.

He watched Wang Lin grow up.

As an uncle, Wang Lin really knows how much he weighs, how much talent and knowledge he has in his stomach, and how his personality is!
However, the look and temperament of Wang Lin in front of him are completely different from the nephew in his impression!
However, the Wang Lin in front of him was indeed the nephew he knew, and his appearance hadn't changed at all!
What exactly is going on?

Wang Donghai does not believe in the saying that there are souls possessed in this world.

He could only believe that Wang Lin had really changed for the better!
The reason why Wang Lin has changed so much is of course inseparable from the influence of Li Wenxiu.

A good marriage can indeed bring a huge change to a man!

The real growth of a man should also start from the day of marriage.

"Well, if you want to do business, we don't object. You bought it with a [-]% discount, no matter how much you lose, you probably won't lose too much. But you have to promise me that if you lose this time, you will share your share , go to work, live a good life with Wenxiu, and stop messing around!" Wang Donghai persuaded his nephew earnestly.

Wang Lin just wanted to send his uncle away quickly, so of course he readily agreed at this moment.

Wang Donghai and his daughter left after dinner at Wang Lin's house.

In the evening, when Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu were watching "A Dream of Red Mansions" on TV, they asked her, "What are you talking about with Sister Lin? Are you talking so happily?"

"I asked Sister Lin to get us [-] matchboxes to paste. After the paste is finished, I can earn seven yuan!"

"Do you think seven yuan is easy to earn? Ten thousand matchboxes! It will take a long time!"

"Sister Lin said that a dexterous person can paste thousands of pieces a day in his spare time! In some families, the whole family can make [-] pieces a day! They can earn one or two hundred yuan a month!"

"That's not a human being, that's a matchbox paste machine!"

"If you don't mess up, I'll mess up!"

"Are you so short of money? Didn't I give you money? After spending it? I'll just give you more!"

"I owe you three thousand yuan! If I pay it off earlier, you will be relieved sooner, right?"

"Li Wenxiu, is that why you want to leave me quickly? You don't hesitate to make money to leave me?"

"Yup!"

"Okay, I'll give you freedom. We're going to divorce tomorrow. You owe me the money. After the divorce, you just have to pay me back slowly!"

"That won't work, we signed an agreement! I can't break my promise! I'll leave you after I pay back the money! Didn't you say that you and Shen Xue made an appointment to watch a movie this week? Watch Lushan Love? Why haven't you gone yet?" what?"

"Don't worry about it!"

"I see you, you didn't make an appointment at all, did you?"

"Hehe, my appointment is tonight, and I'm going to the cinema now! Do you want to come together?"

"I won't go, "Dream of Red Mansions" has its finale today, and I will watch until it ends!"

"Then I'm going!"

"Go, go, good luck!"
