Chapter 19 Paste the Matchbox

Before the official liberalization of treasury bill trading, Wang Lin also knew that his private purchase of treasury bills was indeed a black market behavior.

Therefore, he did not dare to go outside to collect treasury bills. He only collected them from familiar workers in his own factory.

Soon, the workers in Shenzhou Textile Factory all knew that there was a "fool" who recycled treasury bills.

To workers, Treasury bills are just paper.

It takes up to nine years to redeem it, but isn’t it just like paper?

Calculated, even the minimum inflation rate cannot be met!

Look at the skyrocketing prices now. If we keep the treasury bills in our hands, what use is there?

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 hands was exchanged for treasury bills issued in 1985 and 1986.

Colleagues in the mechanical repair class all laughed at Wang Lin for being a fool who exchanged real money for a bunch of useless paper.

Li Wenxiu could only lament and sigh about this.

Wang Lin couldn't listen to what she said!

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

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

My uncle is an employee of the Shanghai Match Factory. In the 1980s, the match factory was considered a good company. All the citizens used were matches. Lighters are a fashionable thing and have been popular in the West for decades. However, like sanitary napkins, because of the price, It was difficult to enter my country. Until the late 1990s, the sales volume of the match factory was still very considerable.

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. After get off work, she would also take on some work of pasting matchboxes at home. She was clever and quick at work. You can make dozens of dollars more!

As soon as Wang Lin walked in, she chatted with Li Wenxiu. The two were of similar age and both were female workers. They had endless things to talk about.

Li Wenxiu asked her how much money she could make by sticking matchboxes.

Wang Lin said it depends on how fast you make money. People with many people and quick hands can make money for 10,000 people a day, and some earn hundreds of yuan a month. There are also people who are just fooling around and can only make a few yuan.

Shencheng Match Factory is a large factory, producing more than 20 million boxes of matches every month. The workload of pasting matchboxes is huge, so it is not cost-effective to hire regular workers, so they hire outsourced workers.

Wang Lin asked with a smile: "You and my brother are both regular employees, and the wages are not low. There are no seniors above and no juniors below. Do you still need to do this kind of outsourcing work? It is very boring and boring."

Of course, Li Wenxiu couldn't say that I want to return your brother's 3,000 yuan gift money. He just smiled and said: "Now the prices have risen so fast. Professors in the university have a salary of 150 yuan, and they have all set up stalls to sell tea eggs.

Yeah! I got off work in the evening, 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. Prices have risen so horribly now. My family can hardly afford meat. That's good. If you want to do it, I'll tell the factory and I'll give you 10,000 sets first.

"

Li Wenxiu asked: "How much money can you make after making 10,000 sets?"

Wang Lin said: "The wages are high now. You can earn 7 yuan for 10,000 sets!"

Li Wenxiu was shocked: "Such a high wage!"

Wang Lin smiled and said: "Now that there is a market economy, there are fewer people doing this. In 1975, 10,000 sets only earned 1 yuan and 20 cents! I was still young at that time, and I also helped the family paste matchboxes.

You tell me, when I was a child, I loved those beautiful sparkle stickers, and I hid them secretly. As a result, I hid more and more, and my mother found out and beat me severely!"

The two of them burst out laughing.

Wang Lin was talking to his uncle, and when he heard the two of them laughing like silver bells, he asked, "What are you talking about?"

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

Wang Lin smiled helplessly.

Wang Donghai coughed lightly: "Xiao Lin, have you remembered everything I told you? The money you earn must be given to Wenxiu for safekeeping! She will take care of the money! The money is in your hands, and it will be spent in two days

Got it!"

Wang Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle, this is my family matter, so just leave it alone."

Wang Donghai said seriously: "Can I ignore you? Your parents died early! You finally found a wife, but you don't know how to cherish it? You still don't take the right path? I heard Wen Xiu say, you take all the money from the family

Come and buy treasury bonds? That thing is just a pile of paper, what did you buy it for? You must have been deceived!"

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

There is a huge gap between his way of thinking and theirs!

People around him can't understand his thoughts, 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."

"Rising? How do you know?"

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

"Are you so sure?"

"Destiny is responsible for shuffling the cards, but we are the ones playing the cards. What we can see is the height we can reach. You think I am losing money, but in fact I am making money."

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

He grew up watching Wang Lin.

As an uncle, he really knows how much Wang Lin weighs, how much talent and knowledge he has, and what his character is like!

However, the expression and temperament of Wang Lin in front of him were 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 had not changed at all!

What the hell is going on?

Wang Donghai does not believe that there is such a thing as soul possession in this world.

He could only believe that Wang Lin had really changed for the better!

The reason why Wang Lin has undergone such a big change is of course inseparable from Li Wenxiu's influence.

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

A man's true growth should start from the day he gets married.

"Okay, if you want to do business, we won't object. You bought it at a 40% discount. Even if you lose again, you won't lose too much. But you have to promise me that if you lose this time, you will pay your share.

, go to work well, live a good life with Wenxiu, and don’t do this again!" Wang Donghai persuaded his nephew with serious words.

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

Wang Donghai and his daughter had dinner at Wang Lin's house before leaving.

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

"I asked Sister Lin to get us 10,000 matchboxes to paste. After the paste is finished, we can earn seven yuan!"

"Do you think these seven dollars are easy to make? Ten thousand matchboxes! It will take a long time!"

"Sister Lin said that people with skillful hands can make thousands of dollars a day in their spare time! In some families, a family can make 10,000 dollars a day! They can earn one or two hundred yuan a month!"

"That's not a human, that's a machine that pastes matchboxes!"

"If you don't do it, I'll do it!"

"Are you so short of money? Didn't I give you the money? When it's all spent? I'll just give it to you again!"

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

"Li Wenxiu, do you really want to leave me quickly? Are you willing to debase yourself to make money and leave me?"

"yes!"

"Okay, I'll give you your freedom. We'll get a divorce tomorrow. You owe me the money you owe me. After the divorce, you can just pay me back slowly!"

"That won't work. We signed an agreement! I can't break my promise! I'll divorce you after I've paid back the money! Didn't you say that you and Shen Xue made an appointment to go to the movies this week? Watch Lushan Love? Why haven't you gone yet?

ah?"

"You don't have to worry about it!"

"Look at you, you haven't made an appointment at all, right?"

"Haha, I made an appointment tonight, and I'm going to the cinema right now! Do you want to come with me?"

"I won't go. Today's finale of "Dream of Red Mansions" will come to an end, and I will watch it till the end!"

"Then I'm going!"
