Rebirth: My 80s

Moon stars are rare.

The temperature in Beijing is pleasant in May.

It was even a little cool at night.

In the yard, Li Jiankun and Gao Jinxi sat together. On the small folding table next to them were brewed tea and a plate of sunflower seeds.

While the two were talking, Gui Fei, the lazy man, was holding a large teacup and admiring a row of flowers and plants by the courtyard wall in a serious manner.

"Treasury bills?"

Li Jiankun looked at Lao Gao in surprise.

Gao Jinxi subconsciously asked: "Why? I can't do it? This is what I am most worried about. No matter how much I want to make money, I will never do anything that is not in compliance with the regulations."

He paused and said:

"However, Yingxiong said that the Ministry of Finance has just issued the Implementation Plan for the Pilot Program of Opening the Treasury Bond Transfer Market, which allows holders of treasury bonds to sell them freely with no limit on the amount of sales.

"That is to say, the trading and circulation of treasury bonds has become legal from now on.

"They are in the pilot area, and the banks will adjust their policies accordingly..."

What surprised Li Jiankun was not that it couldn't be done.

This is indeed a business opportunity, a fleeting business opportunity——

When more and more people started doing it, it became a dead end.

But he didn’t expect to be caught by the little hero... Well, he was not the only one flapping his wings.

He flapped his wings and changed the people around him. After the people around him embarked on a different path from their previous life, they began to change the things around them.

You know, the business of reselling treasury bonds gave birth to the first millionaire in my country's securities market.

This person is the famous Yang Baiwan.

He was originally just a warehouse keeper, but by reselling treasury bonds, he turned around and became a millionaire. He quickly completed his original accumulation in the 1980s, laying a solid foundation for his subsequent operations in the securities market, thus creating a billion-dollar fortune.

"Well, you can do it."

Li Jiankun couldn't tell whether it was fully compliant or not, and the words "speculation and profiteering" are still mentioned today.

However, in this era of wild growth, how many things are completely compliant?

Even in later generations, it may not be proper to say something that is the experience and lesson he gained in his life: being serious will not lead to great things, not just making money.

Li Jiankun stared at Lao Gao, somewhat surprised, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gao Jinxi thought for a moment and said:

“Hero told me that until now, the situation of treasury bonds has been very awkward, similar to the current situation of domestic stocks, and may be even more difficult than stocks. Basically, the distribution method is adopted.

“The people who received it were helpless. They felt it was worthless and were eager to sell it. They were eager to find someone to buy it even at a 50% or 60% discount, but few people were willing to buy it.

“The current fiscal reform is a turning point, and its purpose is obviously to boost the liquidity of treasury bonds and restore their equivalent value.

"Banks in the pilot areas must not lag behind and must play a leading role.

"In this case, buying treasury bonds at 50% to 60% off from the market and then exchanging them for banks will indeed bring a huge profit return rate."

Li Jiankun nodded, that was the truth.

He said with a complicated expression: "Lao Gao, you have changed a lot."

If it were the old Gao, he would never have done such a thing.

Gao Jinxi raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky and murmured:

“I worked hard for my ideals when I was young, but as you know, the results were not ideal.

“Being in that position, I saw a lot of things clearly.

"You once said that I was not suitable for politics and that Qiangzi was more suitable. I was not convinced at the time. Others may not know Qiangzi's character, but we do. To put it bluntly: he is not serious at all.

"I can't help but feel unconvinced. The last time I contacted Qiangzi, he was about to be promoted. At his age, there are only a few people in the country who have his level and power.

"Me? Forget it.

"Times are different now, and I've seen so many new things in Hong Kong over the past year, so my mentality has really changed a lot.

"Suddenly I thought, I can't even guarantee the livelihood of my family, what am I?"

Gao Jinxi laughed at himself and said:

"My current thinking is very mundane: regardless of other things, I must make sure my family lives a good life.

“When I am really capable, I will learn from you and do something beneficial to society.

"That's all. I used to think too highly of myself."

He paused and said, "So, I don't care about many things anymore. If anyone wants to say that I, Gao Jinxi, am a middleman, let them say whatever they want."

Lao Gao's expression was very calm, but Li Jiankun felt that his heart must be in a knot.

However, there are some things that Li Jiankun can't do anything about.

Lao Gao’s greatest strength is also his greatest weakness—he’s too serious.

Even this matter right now...

“It’s not shameful to be a middleman. I was also a middleman. How many people who work in trade are not middlemen?

"It's just that, Lao Gao, since you asked me, I have to tell you the truth: I'm afraid you can't handle the treasury bonds business."

Will he bargain?

Could he bear to cut someone else's treasury bonds until they broke?

When encountering emergencies, such as needing to smooth over relationships, does he understand?

This sounds simple, but even Lao Gao, who has a master's degree in economics, may not be able to do better than a small vendor in Pigeon City.

Character determines fate.

Gao Jinxi said: "I understand what you mean, but people always change. Can't you see that I have changed a lot? I want to do this not only to make money, but also to save my face.

"When I was in Hong Kong, Ms. Ding said something that I think is a more pragmatic lesson: If you can't let go of your pride, you can't get the substance."

Seeing that he had said this, Li Jiankun could no longer persuade him.

If we raise this idea to a higher level: if a person can let go of honor and disgrace, isn't that a form of spiritual practice?

He couldn't persuade her either.

However, Li Jiankun was still worried. Although the little hero gave this information, he made it clear that he would not participate. Firstly, he had official duties to attend to, and secondly, he was afraid that he did not want to participate. It was probably because Lao Gao spoke more bluntly, like tonight. The little hero thought that since Lao Gao wanted to make money, he would point out this way to make money.

"But……"

"But Jinxi, you can't do this alone!"

Before Li Jiankun could finish his words, the lazy Guifei who was admiring the flowers suddenly spoke up, and came over, counting on his fingers, and said:

"look.

“1. You are an introvert and have never done business before. You have no one to guide you. You have to take a lot of detours and waste time.

"2. Currently, only Shanghai is conducting the pilot program. If you want to sell the treasury bonds you have collected to banks in Shanghai, you cannot collect them locally. You have to travel far and wide without a companion. It is inconvenient and unsafe—"

"Wait, uncle, why is this happening? Why can't we collect it in Shanghai?" Gao Jinxi interrupted and asked.

Gui Fei, the lazy man, said with an expression of caring for the mentally retarded:

“You can’t figure this out?

"Firstly, banks in Shanghai are only following fiscal arrangements and promoting the circulation of treasury bonds, so they will give the green light to the exchange of treasury bonds. But if they realize that a treasury bond worth 100 yuan can be bought for 50 or 60 yuan in the market, then it will not be a hard job, but a profitable job!

“After all, lower-level banks can still redeem them to the central bank.

“After they make their move, if the price is the same, who would be willing to trade with you?

“They’ll probably have to mess with you.

"Secondly, as the saying goes, one yard is responsible for one thing. The banks in Shanghai live and die there. They can't move, but they definitely want to make money. If you go out and collect the money and give it to them at a suitable price, everyone will make money. It's a win-win situation. They will definitely be happy to have someone like you."

Gao Jinxi opened his eyes wide, looked at Li Jiankun and said, "Jiankun, I finally know where your business acumen comes from. It's inherited."

Without waiting for Li Jiankun to respond, Gui Fei Lazyman curled his lips and said, "This brat refuses to admit it."

After saying this, there was only a look of pride on his face.

Gao Jinxi said with admiration: "Uncle, what you said makes sense and you have considered it carefully. You are not too old, it would be a pity for you to stay at home idle."

"right!"

Gui Fei the lazy man suddenly turned his head and looked at his youngest son.

Li Jiankun curled his lips and said, "Don't even think about it."

Gao Jinxi was just expressing his feelings, how could he know anything about the Li family? He could not help scratching his head, completely confused.

Gui Fei, the lazy man, knew that he would not get satisfactory words from his youngest son, so he focused all his attention on Gao Jinxi.

Does he need to care whether the brat is reluctant or not?

His only shortcoming is that he has lived in the mountains for most of his life. Like all rural people, he is easily confused when traveling far away and encountering new things.

Jinxi, however, is a high-level intellectual of the same level as that brat.

I'm afraid he can even speak bird language fluently.

As for his advantages, there are simply too many.

Look, he can do anything that would make Jinxi embarrassed.

He has run a factory and engaged in trade, and last year he even succeeded in monopolizing the isatis root market in the north!

If the two of them join forces, wouldn't that be a powerful combination?

Don't forget, he is the boss!

He doesn't need the brat's help, but he still wants to control him?

"Jinxi."

The lazy Guifei brought a stool and sat down next to Gao Jinxi, looking at him more affectionately than he looked at his son:

"you shut up!"

Before Li Jiankun could even open his mouth, Gui Fei the lazy guy scolded him, "Jin Xi wants to do this, and I can help. It's none of your business, so don't get involved!"

"Uncle, what's going on? Why don't you let Jiankun explain it first?" Gao Jinxi asked tentatively.

"There's nothing much for him to say. It's just this: he has a lot of money, but he doesn't let me do anything. He wants to lock me up in this yard. Jinxi, look at me. I'm in good health. Do I need him to take care of me?"

Gui Fei, the lazy man, said with a tragic face: "I am also a person with ideals! I have wasted half my life, why can't I realize my ideals and ambitions through my own efforts?"

Gao Jinxi looked at Li Jiankun and frowned, "Jiankun, this is where you are wrong."

Li Jiankun: "..."

"You have the right intention to support your parents. But you also have to consider your father's feelings. Maybe he doesn't want a comfortable life?"

Li Jiankun couldn't even refute this.

What Li Guifei wants is definitely not comfort.

What he wants is to cause trouble!

"Ambition does not matter how old you are. I admire that about my uncle."

"Jinxi!"

"Uncle, don't worry, I support you."

"Hey! Jinxi, you are sensible."

The two of them put their heads together and discussed in a low voice, one with a beaming face and the other with a thumbs up.

As for Li Jiankun, he has become a transparent person in their eyes.

"Damn it." Li Jiankun rolled his eyes and looked at the moon, "What kind of nonsense is this..."

No matter how they discuss it.

Not useful.

This guy Li Guifei can’t go anywhere.
