Chapter 647 Gold Content
Lin Xiaofen took the initiative to hold one of Yin Yue's hands, looking very excited and affectionate.
"Hey, sisters, we haven't seen each other for some years, how are you?"
"It must have been five or six years since we last met, right?" Yin Yue said, " You have changed a lot.”
She really meant it.
Not to mention that Lin Xiaofen is no longer the malnourished firewood girl she used to be.
It has been raised to be white, tender and feminine.
Even his personality seems to have changed a bit.
I am no longer as cowardly and inferior as I used to be, and I have become a bit outgoing.
“Not only that, it’s been seven years! I still have the notebook you gave me when we broke up after middle school.”
"Oh, you remember it so clearly..." Yin Yue smiled.
"Of course, we have been in middle school together for three years, and you are the only one who gave me gifts. You wrote on the title page of your notebook, Xiaofen, read the books of great leaders, listen to XXX, and do XXX A good soldier. Even now, I feel warm in my heart when I look at him.
"How are you now? What are you doing? Are you working as an accountant?"
Lin Xiaofen stared at the deposit receipt in Yin Yue's hand, obviously misunderstanding.
The numbers above were the basis for her judgment.
Yin Yue is really in a dilemma as to how to reply in such a public situation.
To be honest, even little kids now know that "Pierre-Carton" is the most expensive French clothing, and the jingle "Pierre-Carton, squeeze out the money" has spread throughout society. .
If she said she worked at Pierre Cardin, she would definitely attract attention.
To explain again, this certificate of deposit is my own income, which is completely self-showing.
If she emphasized that she was a salesperson from Pierre Carton, that would be low-key enough, but of course she was unwilling to lose her status in front of her classmates.
If you agree to what the other party says, you are undoubtedly pretending to be confused and deliberately deceiving.
Ouch, nothing is good...
Fortunately, just when she was hesitating, the person in front of them had already finished the process and called someone at the bank counter.
Lin Xiaofen was in a hurry to do something. In this way, the embarrassment was naturally resolved and she didn’t need to say anything else.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofen was still nostalgic. When she was leaving, she turned around and stopped her, giving her a special warning.
"Hey, Yin Yue, don't leave yet, wait for me. I'll get some money right now, and that's it. We haven't seen each other for how many years, so I just want to give you my notebook, I want to find a place to catch up with you. It’s my treat.”
So I originally planned to leave my contact information and say goodbye to Yin Yue, but I couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
It’s really not good to just leave like this.
After thinking about it, she had no choice but to call over the two neighborhood children who had accompanied her and handed them twenty yuan.
"Sister, I met an acquaintance today. I promised to treat you to dinner at noon, but I can't go. How about this, I'll give you the money. You can go by yourself. Drink less! Go home early!"
Those two boys are easy to talk to, and as long as they have money, they can be easily dispatched.
He took the money with a smile, agreed, and left happily.
Just like that, Yin Yue waited for Lin Xiaofen to withdraw the money, and then followed her to the "Gangcheng Yadu Bar" on the ground floor of the Xuanwumen Hotel.
Why don’t you go to a restaurant?
If not for anything else, it’s just because restaurants these days are dominated by men and it’s too noisy.
They are not very hungry and just want to sit together and chat.
Yin Yue heard from Lin Xiaofen that this place was opened by people from Hong Kong City. She came here often recently and the environment was pretty good.
So I readily agreed.
Indeed, after arriving, Yin Yue found that the environment here was not bad.
Although it cannot compare with Maxim, it is still very open, very fashionable, and very suitable for sitting and chatting.
The two sides against the wall are neatly arranged in the form of high-backed leather chairs and glass-topped dining tables, which are commonly known as "train seats".
In the middle is the bar counter, with a row of high stools lined up in front of the bar counter.
The lighting in the room is also very particular. In addition to the small lights on the ceiling that twinkle like stars, there is a small lamp with an umbrella on each table.
These are scenes that our Chinese people could only see in foreign movies in the past.
But after all, the service staff these days always have a state-run attitude, which kind of ruins the atmosphere of this place.
Just like the two women poking at the bar, they seemed to be the people in charge of the store, and each of them had a "big explosion" on their head.
The two of them were chatting and laughing inside when no one was around. As soon as they saw someone approaching the bar, their faces immediately dropped.
Obviously unhappy because their chat was delayed.
This made Yin Yue sigh from the bottom of his heart.
I sincerely feel that Pierre-Carton's staff training and requirements are a thousand times better than this kind of Hong Kong-owned bar.
If they had something like this in their store, they would probably just open it.
But what was most unexpected to Yin Yue was also the most emotional for her.
On the contrary, the "little coal core" of the past has completely disappeared without a trace.
Today's Lin Xiaofen is impressive, she has become extra generous and generous.
After the two of them sat down, Lin Xiaofen loudly snapped her fingers and called the waiter.
I didn’t even look at the wine list or drink list, I just ordered something with ease.
"Two cups of coffee, and a plate of cream croissants, a plate of cookies, a plate of almonds, a plate of peanuts, um...and a bottle of red wine..."
That's it While Lin Xiaofen was giving instructions, Yin Yue opened the wine list and looked through it casually. She didn't see anything else and noticed the red wine Lin Xiaofen ordered.
That wine is actually the domestically produced ‘Zhonghua Red’. It sells for seven yuan a bottle here, but only two and a half yuan in stores outside.
It can be seen from this that the things Lin Xiaofen asked for could not cover the cost of two meals, and it was largely staged.
So he quickly intervened to stop it, saying there was no need to be so polite, they both couldn't eat, and asked Lin Xiaofen to ask for less.
However, Lin Xiaofen was stubborn and insisted on sending away the waiter.
"Hey, this is nothing. Money is not a problem for me now. How did we get through those years? We have suffered so much. Now that we have the conditions, of course we have to compensate ourselves. . ”
“Look, in the past, I only saw cream pastries in my dreams, and I didn’t know what the wine tasted like. Now I can just sit here and enjoy it as I please. This is called progress. ”
"Just because we can become serfs and sing, just because we can meet again today, it's worth having a few drinks together! If you can't eat, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just show off and be happy."
After that, She giggled.
Yin Yue was surprised by such "bold words" and couldn't help but feel in a trance.
Because she suddenly realized that in the three years of middle school, she had never seen Lin Xiaofen smile.
This is the first time I see Lin Xiaofen looking so happy.
It’s no wonder. Who can laugh when they are not full? Even she herself is the same.
Although her family conditions were better than Lin Xiaofen's in the past, that was relative, and at most she would not go hungry.
The taste of poverty also made her heartache, otherwise she would not rack her brains and find ways to make money.
I am really scared of poverty.
Thinking of this, Yin Yue felt calm and couldn't help but smile.
"Xiaofen, you are so loud. I didn't expect that you have changed a lot in these years. It seems that you have made a fortune and live a really cool life."
But at the same time, she became curious.
Because Lin Xiaofen’s homework was not good in the past, and her family had no connections. How could a person with nothing become such a wealthy person?
This seems to be only one possibility.
"Xiaofen, have you become an individual?"
Unexpectedly, she guessed wrong.
Lin Xiaofen shook her head and said with a smile on her face.
"Sisters, you are mistaken. I am an accountant just like you now."
"Huh? Are you an accountant?"
Yin Yue was immediately taken aback and followed the trend to clarify.
"I...I'm not an accountant. I'm now working as a salesperson for Pierre Cardin, selling clothes every day."
After saying this, Lin Xiaofen's reaction was similar to hers, Eyes widened.
"Pierre Carton? Oh my god. No wonder you are so fashionable and beautiful and you still save so much money. Everyone guesses that everyone in your place has to earn hundreds? It seems so. It’s true...”
Yin Yue doesn’t need to clarify what exactly happened.
She just made a vague feint and gave Lin Xiaofen a thumbs up.
"It's alright, just make do. I can't spend money as much as you. But you, why did you become an accountant? You deal with complex numbers every day. This job is almost like half a mathematician. Yes. You are really good at it..."
Lin Xiaofen is really good at this.
When he was proud, he not only stopped asking about Yin Yue's situation, but also completely explained his work.
"Haha, you are wrong again. What a half-mathematician. It's not like you don't know what I'm studying. I'm at the bottom of the class. If it's like you said, accounting is so difficult. Then Even if you beat me to death, I can’t do it.”
"To tell you the truth, after I graduated, I was assigned to sell vegetables in a vegetable market. This arithmetic skill was gained from selling vegetables. Later, when I felt unmotivated, I went to a small hardware factory run by my second uncle and his friends. Anyway, It’s not my turn to be assigned a room. The salary they give me is twice as high as selling vegetables, so I’m not tired.”
“And I didn’t expect that the village accountant with big glasses would be here. Not to mention my age, I still like to drink, and I am always confused, so I showed up immediately and became an accountant.” As long as I can calculate the income and expenditure of the factory correctly and pay everyone's wages on time..."
But after the ins and outs were explained clearly, Yin Yue became even more confused.
Because no matter how you look at it, the accountant of a township enterprise cannot spend money like this.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofen really didn't treat her as an outsider. She didn't even let her ask, and she was completely bald.
"Old classmate, I know what you are thinking. No matter how much my salary is, it can't be more than yours, right? That's right. But I have extra money."
"Now We all know that self-employed people make money quickly, right? But let me tell you, it’s not easy for self-employed people to make money. Think about it, they work hard all the time, get up early and work late, and get punished all the time. Money. "
"To be honest, sometimes it is quite easy to make money. It just depends on whether you can rely on the mountains and the water and find the right way."
As she spoke, Lin Xiaofen felt a mysterious energy and wanted to look around, then lowered her voice and whispered.
"Sisters, let me tell you, the most comfortable way to make money is to use money to make money."
"Use money to make money? You mean...deposit in the bank and earn interest?"
< br>Yin Yue deliberately pretended to be stupid, thinking to herself, wouldn’t she meet a colleague?
"Oh, sisters. You are too smart. How much is bank interest?"
Yes, seeing Lin Xiaofen shouting like this, the more Yin Yue thought about it, the more similar it became.
Lin Xiaofen works as an accountant and has a source of funds.
It’s not like they’re using their factory’s money to lend money to others, right?
However, the truth once again exceeded Yin Yue's expectations. She guessed wrong again.
"Saving money in the bank is either stupid or lazy. Besides, how much money do I earn? It's useless to put it all in and save it. What I mean is - you have to invest."
Lin Xiaofen taught.
"Investment?"
Yin Yue was completely confused and couldn't believe that such high-end words came out of Lin Xiaofen's mouth.
"Isn't investment just a matter for the big boss? I've heard that foreigners and Hong Kong tourists have come to invest here. Can we invest too? How much will it cost?"
"Oops , the investment I am talking about is different from what you said. Where do you spend so much money? I am talking about buying stamps! You can invest as long as you have ten or eight dollars in your pocket. Just wait and count the money. Right..."
"Don't you see the joke? There are not many in the post office. You can make money by buying them."
"Otherwise you don't understand. Of course it can't be ordinary stamps. You have to buy stamps that are hard to buy and that everyone wants, like zodiac stamps."
"Zodiac stamps? "Yin Yue now looked at Lin Xiaofen as if she were from another world, and what she said was completely unknown and incomprehensible to her.
“You still remember where our home is, right? I live at the Peace Arch. Last year, the Philatelic Corporation moved here. Whether I was leaving home or coming back, I later discovered that the gate of the Philatelic Corporation was , a bunch of people always gather together to buy and sell stamps.”
“I don’t know anything else, I just know that they are playing tricks on each other like monkeys, chickens, dogs, etc. A zodiac ticket is worth a lot, and sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down. So I bought some, and guess what, I didn’t bother tinkering with it in a week. I made ten yuan.”
“When I saw how profitable it was, I increased my investment until I invested all my savings. As a result, I ended up buying at a low price and selling at a high price. The more I earn, the more I can earn.”
"Of course, what really counts me as lucky is that I came to this factory. Because except when I don't have enough money, I can use my position to draw some money from the factory and take advantage of the factory. The most important thing is that , Our factory has some unused stamps accumulated over the years. I later accidentally discovered that these stamps include several editions of zodiac stamps.”
“What’s even better is that no one in the factory understands this. I used the money to buy other stamps and eventually sold them at the philatelic company. After that, my capital expanded and it became easier to make money every month. It’s not just a month’s salary, it’s common to earn three or four hundred.”
“This year is the most evil, because the issuance of rat stamps has triggered a rush of stamp collectors. It's been rising all the time. As long as the philatelic company sells it, there will be no sales. Therefore, the price of the zodiac tickets has not gone down this year. I have made a profit on everything I sold. More than twice as much.”
“You know why I took out the money today and why I brought you here? It’s because I have to go to the philatelic company to buy as many stamps as I want. , you can buy some with me, and you’ll make a profit.”
After this introduction, Lin Xiaofen was very excited.
Yin Yue also listened very seriously.
Based on her understanding of Lin Xiaofen and her confidence in her relationship with her classmates, she could tell that there was not much water in Lin Xiaofen's words.
Intuitively, she immediately realized that this might be a good opportunity to make money.
Although she still couldn’t figure out what was going on inside, she didn’t understand why such a small stamp caused so many people to fight for it.
But the problem is, since there are so many people doing this, it can’t be a stupid thing.
"Will so many people really want to buy this kind of stamps?"
"Of course, who doesn't want to make money? Many of our neighbors in the yard bought it with me, and now everyone buys it every day Just sit and make money. Who doesn't like me? Those who didn't listen to me will regret it. If you believe me, just take some money and make a fortune together. Just look at the door and you'll know what's going on."
"Then how much do you think I should pay for it?" Yin Yue asked.
"Generally speaking, ordinary people can buy one for two or three hundred, three to five hundred. They will be satisfied if they earn a little. But you are not an ordinary person. You already earn that much. A lot. If you buy less, you won’t be able to quench your thirst. Only if you buy two or three thousand will you find it interesting.”
“What if it doesn’t go up if you buy that much?” What if we lose money?”
"Impossible. I haven't fallen this year. Can I hurt you?"
Lin Xiaofen said generously, "How about this? Let's try it out today. I bought it with this thousand and fifty The stamps are half for each of us. When the time comes, you can take the stamps first and don’t rush to give me the money.”
“You can come to me again next Sunday and let’s watch the market together. If it goes down, you can give me the stamp money. If something like this happens, you can give me the stamp. "
"I'm not afraid to hold it. At worst, after a while, when the stamps rise, I can just sell it."
"This..." Yin Yue suddenly discovered that the relationship between classmates is very valuable. , Xiaofen is really interesting to her.
If she had to do this, she would have no risk at all. It's like taking money.
"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed? If you want to say that, I have to treat you to this meal today, and I have to thank you very much."
Lin Xiaofen also felt Yin Yue's sincerity from this. Touched, he started joking in a relaxed tone.
"Oh, no, no, no. Don't act like you are not as close to your father and mother as you are to XXX. This is just the case this time. When you start making money, the rest will be all up to you. I You can't guarantee compensation, right? Anyway, if you are worthy of me, I can be worthy of you. If you really feel sorry for me, it's easy to deal with it. I'll go buy some clothes from you. Give me one. Just your internal price will do.”
That’s when Yin Yue started thinking about making money by buying stamps.
For nothing else, if you can really make money just by buying stamps, as Lin Xiaofen said.
Then the idle funds in her hands will be put to use.
Is it really such a good thing?
Next, Lin Xiaofen told true stories about several people who recently made a lot of money by buying stamps.
Hearing this, she became even more stunned and ready to move.
In this way, the meeting with classmates that was supposed to have other things to talk about turned out to be the only topic that could be exchanged: stamps.
