1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 80 Seize the opportunity and get rich!
Chen Yixiu obviously sensed something was wrong, she stepped back and her eyes looked murderous.

Fortunately, Xu Yuexin reacted quickly and hurriedly asked his sister-in-law: "Did you get hit anywhere?"

"no!"

Chen Yixue replied unhappily, "Don't come out without saying a word next time!"

"You didn't say anything either."

Xu Yuexin tried hard to calm down his anger and said innocently, "You can't just blame me."

"Humph!"

Chen Yixiu had no choice but to tell herself that he didn't mean it and returned to bed angrily.

Her side was next to the bathroom. After Xu Yuexin came back from the toilet, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at his sister-in-law lying on the bed in the moonlight.

This figure, wow, is really amazing.

……

The next morning, Xu Yuexin was sleeping in a daze when he felt something was wrong beside him, as if there was someone extra.

I rubbed my eyes and saw that it was Chen Yixiu.

She was wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and was sitting on a stool beside the bed with a stern face.

Xu Yuexin couldn't help but become nervous.

"I'll just pretend that what happened last night never happened."

"You have to forget that, too."

Chen Yixue said seriously, "Otherwise you will be sorry to Qiaoqiao."

That's it, I thought it was something else.

Xu Yuexin let out a long sigh, then lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling: "I was sleeping all night last night."

"Well, that's great. We'll get another room later, and I'll pay you the room fee in remittance vouchers."

Chen Yixue stood up from the stool and said, "We should cooperate in the future and keep in touch if there is nothing."

"If you are not satisfied with me, you can change your partner. I don't mind."

"As long as you are devoted to Qiaoqiao, that's all."

Xu Yuexin did not respond immediately.

He understood that Xiao Xu had given Chen Yixiu too much stimulation last night, which was why she had her current reaction.

You have to stroke her hair.

"Wait a minute, I'll brush my teeth and take you downstairs."

After some thought, Xu Yuexin said slowly, "But our rooms should be closer. If something happens to you when you're away from home, I won't be able to explain to Qiaoqiao."

Guangzhou's economy is developing in full swing right now, with merchants coming and going from all over the country. Xu Yuexin dares to bet that there are definitely no empty rooms around here.

Chen Yixiu didn't know it was a trick, but felt that what he said made some sense.

"Then it's settled. I can't stay in the same room with you anymore."

Chen Yixue's expression eased a little and said, "Go brush your teeth."

"okay."

Xu Yuexin got up and walked to the bathroom. After brushing his teeth, he took Chen Yixiu down to the front desk on the first floor.

As he expected, there was not a single empty room in the entire hotel.

When the waiter said sorry, Xu Yuexin clearly saw distress on Chen Yixiu's face.

The matter of living separately was settled and the two returned to their room in silence.

"Hey, look at what this has done. It's really troublesome."

Xu Yuexin suppressed his joy and pretended to have a headache, saying, "Let's watch TV first."

"dont see."

Chen Yixiu still looked a little irritated, her eyes always fixed straight ahead.

"Oh, then you stay here. I'll go out by myself and see if there's any gold to sell."

Xu Yuexin remembered something and stood up from the bed.

This was not entirely to divert Chen Yixiu's attention, but he thought that in the early days of reform and opening up, policies in the south had always been more relaxed than in other places.

Private gold trading is not allowed in other places, but the policy here may be relaxed a bit.

"Gold? Are you kidding me?"

Chen Yixue was puzzled and said, "Private individuals are not allowed to buy gold, don't you know?"

"I do not know how."

Xu Yuexin said methodically, "But have you noticed that there are obviously more self-employed people on this street than in other places?"

"What does it mean? It means that the policies here are more open than other places. Things that cannot be done in Beijing may be possible here."

Chen Yixiu was somewhat convinced by Xu Yuexin, but she still had new questions.

"You have a point, but the problem is that it is useless for us to buy gold."

Chen Yixiu asked doubtfully.

"Do you know what the current international gold price is?"

Xu Yuexin asked patiently.

"do not know."

"500 dollars per ounce is equivalent to 17 dollars per gram. According to the official exchange rate, it is equivalent to 26 yuan per gram."

"Our country's gold purchase price is only more than 200 yuan per tael. I think this situation cannot last long. The country will definitely raise the gold investment price in the short term. We can make a fortune by buying and selling quickly."

Chen Yixiu was moved by what he said.

If it is true as Xu Yuexin said, the country will raise the gold harvest price in the future, then perhaps now is an opportunity.

Should I hurry up?

Chen Yixiu pondered and finally decided to work with Xu Yuexin.

Ever since she left the art troupe, she has become very insecure, worrying that she will lose her safety net and fall into poverty one day.

If she had the chance to make some more money, she would feel more at ease.

"You speak so confidently, so you must have known about it beforehand."

Chen Yixue finally looked at Xu Yuexin, her eyes flashing with excitement, "Can you take me with you?"

"Without."

Xu Yuexin refused without hesitation, "You have a very poor psychological quality. It's inconvenient to take you with me to do things."

? ?
Chen Yixiu said she couldn't understand.

"Who said I have poor mental quality?"

She unconvincedly defended herself, "I started singing on stage when I was 14, and I have never had stage fright."

“I never panicked when the leaders were watching from below.”

"Tsk, you can't even forget that little thing that happened last night, and you're making a fuss about it."

“Is this called good mental quality?”

Xu Yuexin said with a look of contempt.

Chen Yixue never expected that her brother-in-law would take the initiative to bring up this matter, and he did so with confidence.

Could it be my fault?

"No matter how you look at it, I think what I did was fine."

"Think whatever you want, and let's just forget about it."

Chen Yixiu deliberately turned her face away and looked out the window pretending to be unhappy.

Cheng, that's what I was waiting for from my sister-in-law. I can't let her keep brooding over what happened last night.

"Then I will take you there reluctantly. But you have to promise to obey me no matter what happens."

Xu Yuexin is not sure about the situation of private gold purchases here and whether the market is formal.

He had to be on guard beforehand.

Of course, if it was really a black market transaction, Xu Yuexin would leave Chen Yixiu in a safe place and go in alone.

"Yes, I promise you."

After saying that, Chen Yixiu walked to the bed, picked up her leather bag, and took out all the 5400 yuan she had earned this time.

Xu Yuexin also took out 20000 yuan and added it to her money.

I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would be so decisive at the critical moment. When she heard that she could make money, she took out all her money.

As he was leaving, Xu Yuexin sighed inwardly. Chen Yixue's behavior impressed him to some extent.

After going downstairs, Xu Yuexin did not rush to leave the hotel, but asked the front desk clerk whether there was a place for private gold trading here.

The waiter shook his head repeatedly: "I'm sorry sir, I don't know these, please ask someone else."

Seeing that he was keeping his mouth shut, Xu Yuexin simply took out five yuan and pushed it in front of him: "A little money for the information."

The waiter quickly looked around and made sure no one was around, then quickly accepted the gift: "Turn left and walk 500 meters, then turn right and walk 200 meters."

"There's a self-employed teahouse over there. Tell the front desk and he'll take you there."

After listening to this, Xu Yuexin turned around and left, taking Chen Yixiu with him, and quickly left the hotel and found the teahouse according to the waiter's instructions.

The receptionist at the teahouse was a pretty and thin girl. Xu Yuexin explained his purpose to her.

The girl looked at Xu Yuexin and Chen Yixiu warily, and responded vaguely at first. When Xu Yuexin insisted, she asked a few more questions.

Seeing that Xu Yuexin's answer was correct, she whispered, "Follow me," and took him and Chen Yixiu down the teahouse.

After leaving the teahouse, Xu Yuexin and Chen Yixiu, led by her, turned left and right again, and finally stopped in front of a southern courtyard.

The gate to the yard was closed, and through the hollow part of the wall one could see that the door to the house was also tightly shut, and no sound could be heard from inside.

"Handsome boy, beautiful girl, the place you are looking for is right here."

The girl pointed at the courtyard and said, "Remember the rules I just told you. Also, don't change too much, just enough for what you need."

“How much is too much?”

Xu Yuexin asked, when coming to such a place you must first understand the rules.

"Don't exceed 100 taels."

After thinking about it, the girl
Said.

Well, it seems that I have misunderstood the word "duo".

Xu Yuexin thought to himself and thanked the girl, but never went in.

After the girl left, Xu Yuexin looked at Chen Yixue and said, "I don't know what's going on in the yard."

"I'll take you back to the hotel first."

"how about you?"

"I'll come back alone."

"Can't let you take risks."

Xu Yuexin said this in a competent manner, which touched Chen Yixiu.

He really puts himself first.

Chen Yixue thought silently, and a hint of warmth appeared in her usually cold eyes: "It's better not to change it."

"No, it's not my style to not make money."

Xu Yuexin said firmly, "Don't say anything more, I'll take you away right away."

After saying that, Xu Yuexin took Chen Yixiu back to the hotel and walked out amidst her numerous instructions.

"Be careful, and leave immediately if you feel something is wrong."

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Chen Yixiu had to bite her lip and warned him, feeling extremely worried for him.

"Don't worry, I've figured out what to do."

Xu Yuexin said calmly, and went straight to the yard after leaving the restaurant.

When he arrived at the gate, he knocked on the door as loudly as he could: "Open the door!"

One knock was not enough, Xu Yuexinhai knocked hard several times, causing the neighbors around to stick their heads out one after another and complain in low voices.

At this moment, the door creaked open and a Cantonese voice came from inside: "Oh my god, Lei, speak softly!"

After a sound of footsteps, the gate opened and a fat middle-aged man appeared in front of Xu Yuexin.

"Were you introduced by my younger sister? Didn't she tell you the rules?"

The fat man said without curiosity, and this time he switched back to Mandarin.

Xu Yuexin felt relieved: a bad attitude is actually a good thing, what we should be afraid of is being too attentive and enthusiastic.

"I did, but I forgot."

Xu Yuexin said without changing his expression or heartbeat.

The fat man had obviously never seen anyone so self-righteous. He gave Xu Yuexin a displeased look and took him into the house.

Unlike what Xu Yuexin had imagined, the interior of the room was not dark and messy. On the contrary, it was well lit, and there were many people in suits walking around and chatting inside.

Among them were one or two Hong Kong businessmen whom Xu Yuexin had met at the Friendship Hotel.

As soon as Xu Yuexin came in, everyone present focused their attention on the stick in his hand, finding it very interesting.

This seems to be a fairly formal place.

Xu Yuexin threw the stick on the table as if nothing had happened.

"I want to exchange."

Xu Yuexin said succinctly.

"Let's go to the room and talk."

The fat man turned his back and said that he didn't take his carrying of weapons seriously at all, because most people were very cautious when they came here for the first time.

Xu Yuexin and the fat man walked into a bedroom with a varnished wooden door. After Xu Yuexin entered the room, the other party closed the door behind him.

The room was simply decorated, with a cement floor and unpainted walls, and was filled with cabinets of various sizes.

"We only accept Hong Kong dollars, U.S. dollars, RMB and overseas remittance coupons."

"The exchange rate follows the rules in Hong Kong."

In the small, closed room, the fat man quickly said to Xu Yuexin, "How much do you plan to change?"

"How much is your price? In RMB."

"290 RMB per tael, no bargaining."

290 per tael...it is more expensive than the official price, but it is understandable.

Considering that the country will adjust the gold price to 390 yuan in two months, there is a full one-third profit margin.

You can make 6000 yuan by short-selling. Where can you find such a good deal?

"Change me for 25400 worth of goods."

"Oh, let's see the money first, and then we can hand over the money and the goods."

"Fuck."

Xu Yuexin opened his bag to show the fat man that he did have purchasing power.

The fat man saw the money in the bag, nodded without saying anything, turned around, walked to a cabinet, squatted down and opened the door.

Although he was mentally prepared, Xu Yuexin was still stunned by the scene inside the moment the cabinet door opened.
