On December 1, Yu Dong saw a piece of news about the Shanghai stock market in the newspaper. It said that Haitong and other three securities companies jointly issued stock subscription certificates in many stadiums in Shanghai, and then lottery numbers were drawn.
Go to each stock underwriter to buy stocks.
When he saw this news, Yu Dong frowned and suddenly became nervous. Is the subscription certificate thing going to start?
But after reading the news carefully, Yu Dong realized that this was not the same thing as the subscription certificate he thought.
The subscription certificate mentioned in the news does not cost 30 yuan to purchase, and it is issued at the stadium.
Yu Dong also had some impressions of this matter. It seemed that before the purchase of subscription certificates for 30 yuan, there was indeed an unsuccessful issue of subscription certificates.
It seemed that there were too many people and the scene was too chaotic, so it was not implemented in the end.
Later, the distribution method was modified and it was changed to need to spend 30 yuan to purchase it at a designated bank.
However, seeing this news, it means that the 30-yuan subscription certificates will go on sale soon, probably in a month or two.
And Yu Dong only has a few thousand yuan in his hand now, not even 10,000 yuan.
But Yu Dong couldn't think of any way to make money.
Write a manuscript for submission?
It's too late. The most I can do is submit some short stories, but I won't get much royalties.
Go borrow some?
Yu Dong quickly rejected the idea because he didn't understand economics and he had only heard about the subscription certificate from others. Now that he was reborn, he was not sure whether there would be any accidents.
Borrowing money to do something that you are not absolutely sure of is very unwise in Yu Dong's opinion.
After much deliberation, he decided to ask his parents if they had any spare money next time he went back. If so, he would ask them for some points. If not, he would have to use the money on hand to do things.
In fact, it is very good that Yu Dong can make so much money in a few months. For a reborn person like him who does not know how to do business, making money may not be that easy.
If he hadn't been able to write something, he probably would have had to buy a house and wait for the value to increase if he wanted to make money.

Jimmy James was sitting in front of the breakfast shop, looking at the street that was getting busier and busier. He was in a pretty good mood.
He is waiting for his fried liver. Every time he comes to Yanjing, he always wants to eat this very special delicacy.
Jimmy is not like ordinary Americans who stay away from things like the large intestine. He believes that food only needs to serve the tongue and stomach, and fried liver can do this.
More than ten years ago, he was a journalist stationed in China. His long life in China made him feel that he was already half-Chinese.
Even if he later stopped working as a reporter and switched to the projection and television industry, he would still find time to come and live in China, at least five or six times a year.
This is his last visit to China this year, and he will be going back to celebrate Christmas in a few days.
The fried liver came quickly, and he picked up the bowl and slurped it on the rim like the locals did.
He likes to imitate the local lifestyle, and he clearly knows why. Wanting to integrate into the local area is an instinct engraved in the bones of outsiders.
After eating the fried liver, his body warmed up, and after saying hello to the boss, Jimmy walked east along the street.
After walking a few steps, there is a newsstand.
The boss seemed to know Jimmy and shouted to him with a smile: "Brother Jimmy, have you eaten?"
Jimmy smiled and spoke in authentic Yanjing dialect and said: "I'm full."
"Hey, you've been back for such a long time, but we haven't lost our Yanjing dialect. The new issue of "Harvest" and "Zhongshan", do you want a copy too?" The boss praised Jimmy's accent while promoting the magazine.
.
He is not a blind salesman. He has known this foreigner for a long time and loves to read these literary magazines every time. Sometimes the boss is embarrassed because he, an out-and-out Chinese, rarely reads such books.
Jimmy nodded, "The same one."
"Okay, I'll load it for you." The boss put down the magazine in his hand and prepared to get Jimmy a book.
Jimmy saw the magazine that his boss put down and saw the words "Science Fiction World" written on it. He was a little surprised and said: "Boss, is this a new magazine?"
"You're talking about this." The boss laughed, "It's not new. The name of the previous "Science Fiction Literature" was changed. You changed it last time, but you didn't notice. I guess, the boss of the magazine
I wanted to integrate with the world, so I changed it to this, look here..."
Jimmy stretched his head and looked.
"This magazine won the World Science Fiction Association's Best Science Fiction Journal Award. Look, it's quite shocking. Are you an American? Have you ever heard of the World Science Fiction Association?"
"I've heard of it." Jimmy nodded and added, "Get me a copy of this too."
When he heard that business had increased, the boss smiled even more happily, "It's okay to buy it. I've watched it myself. It's more interesting than "Harvest". Of course, you are a cultured person and have different aesthetics from rough people like me. If you don't
Like it, you think I'm talking nonsense. But let's not talk about anything else. Let's just say that the pattern on the cover is more troublesome than other magazines."
Jimmy took three magazines and smiled at the boss, "You are busy, I will go back first."
"Okay, please walk slowly and come and play when you have time."
Jimmy actually likes the liveliness of Yanjing people, but sometimes he feels noisy.
He returned to the hotel with the magazine, and first read "Harvest" for a while. When the time was almost up, he went out again. He had many old friends in the local area, and he always talked about old times when he came over.
After wandering out until the evening, Jimmy returned to the hotel again. He wanted to continue watching "Harvest", but he felt a little tired, so he decided to watch "Science Fiction World" which the boss said was interesting.
Like most people, he found "One Day" first because the word "One Day" was the largest on the cover.
After reading the previous part, Jimmy returned to the cover and looked at it doubtfully.
It is a science fiction world, but why does it feel like watching "Flower City"? This story has no science fiction flavor at all.
But the story and the author's writing style can attract him to continue reading.
When he saw that the protagonist was stuck on a fixed day, his eyes became strange.
He suddenly remembered a chat he had with his good friend Harold a few months ago. At that time, Hammond mentioned an idea: What would happen if someone was trapped in the same period of time.
At that time, they were chatting casually and talked about many possibilities, but they did not come up with a complete story.
A few months later, he saw such a story in "Science Fiction World".
"What would this author write?"
Chapter completed!
