Grandpa and his bonds

  1. Liangliang

    我(wǒ)爷爷(yéye)喜欢(xǐhuan)买(mǎi)债券(zhàiquàn)，他(tā)说(shuō)很(hěn)安全(ānquán)。

    My grandpa likes buying bonds. He says they are very safe.

  2. Dengdeng

    债券(zhàiquàn)是(shì)什么(shénme)？我(wǒ)只(zhǐ)听说(tīngshuō)过(guò)股票(gǔpiào)。

    What are bonds? I have only heard of stocks.

  3. Liangliang

    简单(jiǎndān)说(shuō)，就(jiù)是(shì)把(bǎ)钱(qián)借给(jiègěi)公司(gōngsī)或者(huòzhě)国家(guójiā)，以后(yǐhòu)还(hái)有(yǒu)利息(lìxī)。

    Simply put, you lend money to a company or a country and later get it back with interest.

  4. Dengdeng

    听(tīng)起来(qǐlai)比(bǐ)放(fàng)在(zài)家(jiā)里(lǐ)好(hǎo)。

    That sounds better than keeping it at home.

  5. Liangliang

    对(duì)，我(wǒ)爷爷(yéye)以前(yǐqián)把(bǎ)钱(qián)放(fàng)在(zài)枕头(zhěntou)下(xià)，现在(xiànzài)买(mǎi)债券(zhàiquàn)了(le)！

    Right. My grandpa used to keep his money under his pillow, and now he buys bonds!
