Chapter 24 If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to stand firm.

The business of purchasing treasury bonds went much more smoothly than Lu Yang had imagined.

It only took almost an afternoon, and that was when Lu Yang deliberately chose the suburbs of the city and slowed down his pace to leave time for his eldest cousin, Da Jun, to proofread. The more than 5000 yuan in black tens in his hand have now been exchanged for treasury bonds.

Or maybe I don’t have enough capital.

Lu Yang really didn't expect that almost every household here had a few treasury bonds, and when he went to their house and proposed to buy them, he didn't have to spend much time persuading them.

97% off?
No, no, no. Lu Yang already has more than 6,000 yuan worth of treasury bonds in his pocket, some of which are at 91% off, some at 90% off, and even a small portion at 80% off.

In other words, Lu Yang was unwilling to spend more time.

I don't want to waste any more time talking. If I waste a little more time, I will definitely be able to win two more points.

"Walk."

"Let's go to the station. We can still make it in time and take the overnight train to Shanghai."

Lu Yang waved his hand and brought his eldest cousin and the army with him.

Got on a three-wheeled vehicle.

Soon we arrived at the train station, bought the ticket and got on the train.

The other two seemed to be still in a dream.

"Is it that simple?"

"Yeah, can you get rich by doing this?"

They felt incredible.

Lu Yang was too hasty.

It was less than an afternoon, and such a huge sum of money was exchanged for treasury bills without even blinking an eye. What if it can't be exchanged for real money?
Although Lu Yang said it with certainty.

But they are still worried.

In the afternoon, I persuaded Lu Yang to just exchange one thousand first, go to Shencheng to try, find that exchange and see if he could really exchange it for money. If he could, and make some money, then it wouldn't be too late to come to Feicheng to make a large purchase.

Lu Yang smiled crookedly at the time: What a mature and patriotic suggestion, but he could not agree to it.

To make the snowball roll, you have to give it your all.

If you earn a few thousand less now, you may lose 10 in half a year.

If he didn't dare to gamble even though he knew there was no chance of losing, then Lu Yang's life would be like this and he would not be able to achieve great success.

"Don't worry, I'm sure."

That was all he could say.

Lu Yang knew that no matter whether it was his eldest cousin or Junzi, they would definitely carry some money with them when they went out. It might not be much, but it would definitely be there.

But he didn't point it out.

Nor would he ask them to take out the money and lend it to him, or suggest that both of them exchange the money for treasury bonds.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not.

They will arrive in Shanghai soon. After tonight, when the stock exchange opens tomorrow, they will exchange all the treasury coupons they have for cash and count how much money they have earned on this trip. Then they will understand how amazing their magic is.

Arrived safely all the way.

But a bloody thing still happened in the middle of the journey. After eating a few local cakes bought before getting on the bus and drinking a belly full of water, Da Jun went to the toilet and helped the conductor catch a pickpocket who had escaped.

The things to do are also simple.

When the thief passed by, Da Jun stretched out his leg and tripped the thief, causing the thief to fly out unexpectedly, losing two front teeth and two lower teeth, a total of four teeth, and his face and nose were bleeding.

That is now.

In later times, if you don’t pay back the money, you will go bankrupt and won’t be able to settle down without tens of thousands of dollars.

Enjoy the applause from the entire car.

After being thanked repeatedly by the owner's sister and the conductor, he returned to his seat. Even though he had served in the army and had received professional training and normally would not laugh, he was smiling with pride so much that his mouth was crooked. Even when he was chatting with his eldest cousin who was sitting next to him, he couldn't help but raise his voice by several decibels.

Lu Yang frowned as he looked at him. However, seeing how excited he was, he didn't say anything to spoil his fun, like "mind your own business". After all, this society still needs some positive energy.

That's it.

Want to give some advice.

We'll have to wait until after tonight.

Lu Yang's eyes swept around, and he couldn't help but become more alert than before.

Hopefully there won't be any trouble.

Hey, speak of the devil and he will appear. As soon as the train arrived at the station and the three got off, trouble really came.

The streets of Dashen City at night were not as brightly lit as those of later generations, but they already had the outline of an international metropolis of later generations. The sea breeze blew slowly from the river, making Lu Yang squint his eyes comfortably.

"Let's not call a taxi yet, let's just walk."

Lu Yang strode forward.

At first, both the eldest cousin and Da Jun were puzzled, but soon, as he had been a soldier, Da Jun had already smelled something fishy and said in a cold and low voice: "There is someone behind us."

"what?"

My eldest cousin was still a little overwhelmed.

"Don't look back, listen to me, let's follow Yoko first."

The army looked very unhappy.

He now realized that the trouble was caused by his own meddling. He was targeted by the thief's companions on the train. However, it was too late to regret now. He could only find a way to solve the trouble first.

Catching up with Lu Yang, Da Jun gritted his teeth and said, "There are five of them. You and Youren go first. I will stay alone to deal with them. I am sure that as long as they don't have weapons, they are no match for me."

Lu Yang smiled, showing his full white teeth, and whispered: "Very good, it seems that you also realize that this trouble is caused by you. Remember your lesson today."

Done.

Turned and entered a dark alley.

He opened his briefcase and pulled out three long wrenches from the bottom of the treasury rolls. He handed one to his eldest cousin and one to the ashamed Da Jun. "It's no big deal. We are brothers. If there is trouble, let's solve it. Remember, don't hit the head. Just hit the hands and feet."

In this day and age, as long as no one is killed, it’s not a big deal to cut off the hands and feet of a few professional pickpockets.

"What about people?"

"Fuck, don't let them get away."

"Dare to mess with our people, damn him. If we don't teach these outsiders a lesson today, we will have no chance of staying on this railway line in the future. If they think we are easy to bully, the gangsters will definitely come to bully us. We will chase them and beat them to death if we catch them."

These guys are so brave that even a dark alley can't scare them away.

Lu Yang nodded, and sure enough, there were exactly five, "One for each of us, and you three for the army."

After saying that, he rushed out.

He hit the man in the face with the wrench in his hand and said that he was not allowed to hit the head, only the arms and legs. But when the fight really started, even he couldn't care less.

"boom"

With a crisp sound, the person who collided with Lu Yang head-on fell down with his head tilted back.

I couldn't even see the face of the attacker.

Lu Yang squatted down again and used the wrench in his hand to hit the opponent's arms and thighs hard until he heard the sound of broken bones.

"withdraw."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Without his orders, his cousin had completed the task and knocked down his opponent. Da Jun was even more powerful. With anger, he attacked more ruthlessly than Lu Yang. After knocking down several people with sneak attacks, he directly stretched out his feet to break the calves of three people.

Less than a minute before and after.

In the dark alley, there was only the smell of blood and the wailing of pain from people rolling on the ground.
