Chapter 2 How to pay off 30,000 yuan
The two of them took a lunge, one each, and finally pulled the exhausted Ye Weihong and Ma Guihua back to the bridge. The five of them fell to the ground together!
At this moment, the crowd burst into fierce applause!
"Rescued!"
"Very good!"
"What a great son!"
Although he was pressed hard by his father Ye Weihong's body and was a little out of breath, Ye Dong did not feel any pain, but instead felt a huge sense of happiness pouring into his heart.
Ye Dong turned over, pulled Ye Weihong and Ma Guihua up one by one, and held them together with his thin but powerful arms. The family of three hugged each other and cried!
Parents, survived!
There were too many people watching the fun at the bridge, causing a traffic jam on the Jialing River Bridge for almost half an hour. Now that the parents had been rescued, the policeman asked Ye Dong and Yu Jun to keep an eye on them, and then took the initiative to shout for the crowd to disperse and divert the traffic.
Ten minutes later, the Jialing River Bridge returned to its usual order of traffic.
"Little comrade, when you go back, you must enlighten your parents and don't let them do stupid things again!" the police officer said to Ye Dong in a serious voice.
“Thank you, Comrade Public Security [Comrade Police (it was still called People’s Public Security Bureau in 1993, there was no such name as police, the police was called police in 1995)].”
Parents in this state would not be able to walk the two kilometers from the Jialing River Bridge to the spring factory's home. After Ye Dong thanked and said goodbye to the police officer, he supported his parents who had just escaped from the hands of death, and turned to rush towards
Jun shouted: "Yu Jun, take a taxi!"
The taxi fare of 10 yuan was not a small amount of money for Yu Jun, whose monthly salary in Yuzhou was only 280 yuan in 1993, but in the current scene, he had to spend the 10 yuan!
Yu Jun got off the car first and went to the factory to ask for leave. When the family of three returned to the house on the third floor of the courtyard of the spring factory, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Dongzi, daddy, I'm sorry for you..." As soon as the door closed, Ye Weihong choked with sobs, and tears flowed down her face: "It was all my fault at the beginning, for believing that collecting some commemorative coins would make a fortune, but I didn't expect it.
It’s a scam!”
In 1992, Yuzhou City and the British city of Leicester formed a friendship city. This was originally a good thing. However, some people with ulterior motives in Yuzhou City took advantage of this news and made a large amount of Zimbabwean currency to commit fraud. They said this
Foreign banknotes with huge denominations are commemorative coins specially issued by foreign countries. As long as you buy them, they will be worth ten times in one year!
Ye Weihong and Ma Guihua are undoubtedly among the many
One of the deceived people not only secretly mortgaged their house in exchange for 10,000 yuan, but also borrowed 30,000 yuan from relatives and friends to invest. However, they did not expect that the "friend" who specialized in collecting commemorative coins three days ago
"Has disappeared without a trace and can no longer be contacted. Only then did they realize that they had been deceived.
When Ye Weihong mentioned this, Ma Guihua could only lower her head and silently wipe her tears with a handkerchief. For a moment, the atmosphere became very solemn.
"Dad, Mom, don't be sad. As long as you are alive, you are better than anything else!"
Ye Dong's eyes were also red, but he did not cry, because he knew that from now on, he would be the backbone of the family, and he must not show any depression: "Isn't it just 30,000 yuan? As long as it is paid back
With it, our family can still live a down-to-earth life!"
"But...where can our family find these 30,000 yuan?" Ma Guihua finally stopped crying and said sadly: "This is all borrowed, not counting the 10,000 yuan that is mortgaged on our house.
Wan, we agreed that today is the day to pay back the money, but now...those relatives and friends who want to pay are afraid that they will soon break through the threshold of our house!"
If Ye Dong in his previous life was just an ordinary worker working in a spring factory with a monthly salary of only 320 yuan, then there really would be nothing he could do about it.
But now Ye Dong has been reborn in 2021. Since he was able to survive alone in his previous life, he will naturally not be helpless!
1993…
Is there any way to make 30,000 yuan quickly?
Ye Dong's brain immediately started to work at high speed!
salary?
This is the most impossible. Although there is such a jingle circulating in Yuzhou City in the 1980s: Little sister, please grow up quickly. When you grow up, you will marry a spring factory. You will get a chicken in three days and a bladder in two days... It is said to be located in the city of Yuzhou.
The spring factory in Hualongqiao pays well, but times have changed. The spring factory is not as prosperous as it was back then, and the salary is only the average level in Yuzhou City, 300 yuan a month. Do you want to use it to pay off 30,000 yuan? Not at all.
possible!
stock?
no!
Because starting from February 1993, under the influence of the country's macro-tightening policy to curb economic overheating, the Chinese stock market began to enter the first major bear market in three years!
Lottery?
Don't say that you can't remember the winning numbers. At this time, there were no Seven Star Lottery, Big Lotto, etc. At most, they were the kind of instant lottery tickets that could be reserved in downtown areas!
Don’t even think about futures, virtual currencies and the like.
, because this is 1993, not 2003, let alone 2013!
what to do?
When I came back from rebirth, all I could think about was saving my parents’ lives, but now that I’ve actually done it, how to make money has become an unavoidable topic!
Ye Dong's eyes inadvertently glanced at the TV cabinet in the living room and saw the video recorder and a stack of video tapes placed below.
It was bought last year after my father became a model worker in the factory, using his bonus plus two months’ salary!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Ye Dong's eyes!
Got it!
In 1993, a product that would completely eliminate video recorders in the future was just launched!
That's a VCD machine!
Many friends born in the 2000s may have never heard of this thing, but many older people know that VCD machines once set off a huge wave in China in the mid-1990s!
Before the invention of VCD, the most popular small projection equipment around the world was video recorders.
But in April 1992, an employee from Wannan Province on a business trip to Citigroup accidentally created this thing!
This is one of the few electronic products created by China in the 1990s!
Its core lies in MPEG decompression technology, which was invented by a Citigroup company and is very inconspicuous.
However, MPEG compression technology can store images and sounds on a relatively small disc, which means that the carrier of audio-visual products is no longer a thick and heavy video tape, but a lightweight disc!
Not only is it easier to carry, but the picture quality is also clearer!
This employee realized the power of MPEG decompression technology, and soon reached an agreement with the Chinese boss of Citigroup who invented this technology, and decided to use MPEG technology to develop a brand new electronic consumer product!
As a result, the "Wanyan Brand" VCD player, developed with a total investment of US$70,000, was launched in China in September 1993!
In December 1993, the first batch of "Wanyan Brand" VCD machines that were officially put on sale were priced at 5,000 yuan and were quickly sold out!
And it's only the end of October, which means...
No one is willing to buy 100 "Wanyan Brand" VCD prototypes that have just left the factory, even if they cost 1,000 yuan each!
Chapter completed!
