Chapter 25: Fever [Seeking follow-up reading]
Before rebirth.
In his previous life, Lu Yang worked as a carpenter for decades, and was active in major construction sites in the south, supporting formwork, building wooden roof frames, and hanging tile strips. He was considered a high-level worker among migrant workers.
But in the early years, fighting was common just to have food to eat.
At that time, even migrant workers had territorial disputes.
If you encounter someone like this who is looking for trouble, you should either keep your head down and give him a long way, or pack up and leave overnight to make room for him.
Or, take the initiative to give the other party a hard time.
It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. In that barbaric era, if you didn't dare to pick up a weapon, you couldn't even be a migrant worker.
Lu Yang and his team will have to travel the train line from Feicheng to Shencheng frequently in the future, and it is impossible for them to travel in a group every time. The shortage of manpower means that after they become familiar with the process, they will most likely have to act separately. If they get into trouble with such a pickpocket gang and the local tyrants on the line, they will suffer a great loss at the hands of this gang sooner or later if they cannot give them a ruthless blow and get rid of them once and for all.
In one breath, the three of them ran to the bank of the Huangpu River.
After panting heavily.
Lu Yang turned his head and said, "Remember, in the future, we should either not do such things, or do them thoroughly. The bottom line is that no one should die."
My eldest cousin, Da Jun, both nodded with serious expressions.
Less than two days after leaving home, they realized the dangers of society in this era.
"okay."
"Look at the blood on your wrench. Throw it away quickly. Save it for the New Year."
Lu Yang scolded with a smile, easing the tense atmosphere.
Then take the lead.
He threw the wrench in his hand into the Huangpu River with force.
He clapped his hands again and said, "But seriously, this thing is really useful. Remember to remind me tomorrow and prepare a few new ones in my bag."
The eldest cousin nodded.
Agree.
Da Jun patted his waist and said, "The best thing to use is still the saber."
Lu Yang couldn't help but turn his head and curiously saw the belt around his waist. "You got it?"
Da Jun said with a slightly proud look on his face: "Well, my grandfather gave it to me. It's a trophy captured from the Japanese invaders. It's a Camillus M3 bayonet. It's a rare good thing."
Lu Yang was also secretly shocked.
But he quickly put aside his curiosity, glared at me and said, "You are not allowed to take it out, let alone use it, unless there is a day when you absolutely need to use it, understand?"
Da Jun nodded silently, "Well, unless one day I need to use it to risk my life, I will listen to you, Yangzi, and I won't use it."
Because that’s what my grandfather told me.
Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the river in front of him earnestly and said, "We go out to seek wealth. Your grandfather gave you this saber only because he hoped you could use it to protect yourself, not to let you use it to fight. You better take it easy in the future."
Da Jun felt that Lu Yang had seen through his thoughts, and he raised his hand to rub the mess on his head in embarrassment.
It was quite dangerous just now.
He created such a big mess himself.
Not only did Yoko not leave first, she also stayed with Youren to help him and gave him a wrench. Otherwise, he would have to use a knife. After all, the other side had more people and he didn't know if they had any weapons on them. If he didn't use a knife, it would only be more dangerous.
The knife was used.
I can't guarantee whether those pickpockets can survive.
But someone is going to die.
Even he himself couldn't imagine what he would face in the rest of his life.
"okay."
"Just be more careful next time."
Lu Yang turned around, patted him on the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Why are you so stern? It doesn't mean that you can't be a hero in the future. But we have to think about how to get ourselves out of this situation first. Otherwise, you will become a coward before you can even become a hero." After that, he said.
Walk along the river bank towards the brightly lit city of Shencheng.
Leaving my cousin confused.
An army with the word "guilt" written on their faces.
When they were already several dozen steps away, Lu Yang's voice came: "Two brothers, the night view of the Huangpu River is nice, but there is no need to stay overnight by the river. If you don't catch up, I'll leave."
They both shuddered at the same time.
His eyes subconsciously swept around where he was standing. It was pitch black and the ground was hard. It was not a place to sleep.
I blurted out: "Wait for me."
He hurriedly chased after Lu Yang who had already walked far away.
He spent the last remaining big black ten on renting a 'high-end' triple room in an ordinary hotel in this future international metropolis.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, Lu Yang got up early, took all his belongings, and called his two cousins. Today he chose to walk to the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Hankou Road next door.
This exchange was established in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China period of this century.
It has changed hands several times.
It closed and reopened several times.
Currently, it is only approved as a pilot project by the state. There are seven of them in the country, located in seven different cities. It is one of the treasury bond securitization trading centers.
Lu Yang also knew that because this city had a developed commerce and trade and had its own unique securities gene, it was also one of the few trading centers in the country where the price of treasury bonds was always on an upward trend.
For example, Feicheng.
Feicheng is also one of the seven pilot cities approved by the state where treasury coupons can be freely traded.
But Lu Yang had already read the newspaper.
The trading volume of Feicheng Treasury Bond Exchange is not only extremely low, but the transaction price is also less than 85% of the original issue price. In recent period, it has been maintained in the middle range of 89-. This shows that not only can you not make money by speculating in treasury bonds in Feicheng, but you may even lose everything.
No wonder.
People in Feicheng don't trust it.
However, it was precisely because of this that people like Lu Yang and Yang Baiwan had the opportunity to resell private treasury bonds in the two places and earn the difference.
Arrived in front of the exchange.
Lu Yang discovered that this big place was indeed a big place. It was not even time for the exchange to open, but the door was already crowded with people waiting.
There are also people who are talking loudly, and the content of their discussions is precisely the treasury bond trading prices in Shanghai which have been rising continuously over the past half month.
It was a great show that left him stunned.
“Is 126 yuan a lot?”
"Not high. In my opinion, 180 yuan is the end point of its three-year payback period."
"No, I don't think it's worth much. 126 yuan is already too high. There are so many ordinary families in the country. If they have bought 100 yuan of treasury bonds before, they can exchange them for 126 yuan after three years, which is more than 114% more than the original value. If it continues to rise, once it deviates from its actual value, it will only be a castle in the air. Once the heat is over and investors return to rationality, its true value will be reflected. 12, if it drops another percentage points, I think this price will be very reasonable."
"You're talking nonsense! Don't listen to him. It's obvious that this person has bad intentions. He might just be waiting for everyone to sell. When the price drops, he will buy the stocks from behind. This kind of person is the most sinister."
"Slander, this is slander, pure slander, I promise I never meant it that way."
"Tsk, who would believe that? If you don't think it's good, then why are you still researching it? Do you want to do good things by rushing to block our door early in the morning and urging us all to sell it later?"
"Hey…"
"Go, go, go, ignore him, the store is about to open, everyone who wants to buy, hurry up and buy, the price will definitely go up again today."
