Chapter 563: Exchange
Shanghai is an adventurer's paradise, economic and financial center in the East. Naturally, there are no shortage of financial institutions, banks, and underground banks that are too numerous to count.
The tens of thousands of French coins collected from the gambling file, and the hard work fees given by Xiaoqi, were eliminated, and these counterfeit money were exchanged for nearly 30,000 yuan.
Of course, fiat currency is not as valuable as the previous two years. If it were 30,000 fiat currency two years ago, it would be a huge sum of money, but now it can only be considered a considerable wealth.
"Some banks and money banks still discovered the problem of these fiat currencies, but they didn't say that, just made excuses to refuse."
"No trouble, right?"
"No, as you ordered, just exchange it and not cause trouble. As long as the other party does not exchange it, we will exchange it for another company." Xiao Qi said.
"You can continue to redeem before you discover it, but you must do a good job of safety. Once you find that something is wrong, stop immediately." Chen Miao said.
"I know, what should I do with this money?"
"Invest in Xueqin's snow stage and bookstore in your name." Chen Miao thought for a moment. The money was extra, and it was not appropriate to put it in his own hands or hand it directly to Liang Xueqin.
"But I have so much money..." Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment.
"It's okay, I've given you a vaccination in front of Xueqin. She won't doubt you have money." Chen Miao explained.
"Then how much should I get?"
"How many do you have?" Chen Miao asked subconsciously.
"If my entire savings are added up, it should be hundreds of thousands if they are converted into legal currency." Xiao Qi subconsciously estimated in his mind.
"How many?"
"It should be 400,000 or 500,000." Xiaoqi said affirmatively.
Chen Miao was so shocked that he almost bit off his tongue. Forty or five hundred thousand French currency, the exchange rate of the previous year, would be converted into silver dollars, which would be a small one hundred thousand. Now the legal currency is depreciating rapidly, and it is half of it.
This is a wealth that many people will never make in their lifetime, and Xiaoqi can easily own it at such a young age.
Of course, these wealth did not come overnight, but were saved by Xiaoqi and Chen Miao over the years. Although Chen Miao adopted Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi should pay a lot of rewards to help him do things. Over the years, Xiaoqi has been supporting himself, and he has known to save money since he was a child and never spend money randomly. Every amount of money Chen Miao gave him was saved by him. As for how to save it and where it exists, even Chen Miao didn't know.
Of course, Xiaoqi and his work are very dangerous. They may disappear one day and will definitely leave a solution for the response, but they will not move until the last moment.
"Take out half of it, find you Sister Xueqin and give you 20% of the shares. What do you think?" Chen Miao asked in a negotiated tone.
"Okay." Xiaoqi agreed without hesitation. If he had not had Chen Miao, he would not have saved up all his wealth. Even if Chen Miao took it all, he would not have any complaints.
"Xiaoqi, when you grow up, you have to make some plans for your future life. In the future, you will have to get married and be a good husband and a good father. Third brother cannot take care of you for the rest of your life." Chen Miao said emotionally.
"Brother Third, I won't get married, and I won't have children."
"What do you mean by a child? Forget it. When you reach my age, you will understand that there are many things in life that will only be understood at that stage." Chen Miao shook his head and smiled. After all, Xiaoqi is not a child who grew up in a normal family. Although he worked hard to instill his correct outlook on life and world, the experience of wandering and begging in childhood was too unforgettable for him.
...
Yixin Society, Du Haipeng Mansion.
An English-style garden villa on Yuyuan Road.
Du Haipeng, who was in his forties, was just a foothold on the dock. After joining the gang, he dared to fight and gained appreciation, gradually emerged and finally established his current foundation.
In fact, he was not as glorious as he is two years ago. After the Japanese came, he leaned forward and helped the Japanese clean up the bombed Zhabei. He led a group of coolies to transport and bury the bodies with the dock. In this way, he was appreciated by Nishimura, the consultant of the Shanghai Reform Government.
With Xicun as his backer, Du Haipeng quickly occupied the cargo transportation and loading and unloading market at the docks along the Suzhou River and became the largest foot traffic organization on the north bank of the Suzhou River.
Du Haipeng became a traitor and gained both fame and fortune. Not only did he buy a lot of real estate in the concession, but he also set up a company, opened a dance hall, opium opium restaurant and other transactions.
It can be said that in terms of wealth, he can now be considered as being able to squeeze into the circle of rich people in Shanghai, but his background is a little short of that. It is difficult to enter the upper class, especially if he wants to enter the political arena, which is even more difficult.
In order to go further, Du Haipeng even wanted to get an official, while following the Japanese, helping to plunder and harm the Chinese people, and doing everything possible to curry favor with the upstarts under the Wang family, and sharpened his head and wanted to get into the pseudo-government.
The money and beauty are sent to you all day long, and you are not stingy to send you away.
Finally, the money and the beauty still played a role, and Du Haipeng won the title of an alternate member of the Nanjing pseudo-government Central Committee.
With this identity, although there is no actual official position, at least you can raise your head and chest in front of those who look down on yourself, and you don’t need to look at other people’s faces.
After nightfall, a black Chevrolet car drove into Du Mansion. Du Haipeng, who received the news, wore the best Hangzhou silk and satin gown and greeted him under the steps at the door.
The car stopped outside the flower bed at the door.
Du Haipeng, who was only in his forties, had already seen a little grayish-white on his temples. He had worked as a hard worker on the dock in his early years and had many hidden injuries left in his body during his life, which led to him a little aging before he got old.
A middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a bloated figure came out of the car when he saw Du Haipeng, a smile appeared on his haggard face and greeted him: "Mr. Eryu is here in the humble house. Du is honored, please."
"I've disturbed President Du."
"Where, please come inside quickly." Du Haipeng said with a flattering smile.
"President Du, please." Ive Oyu smiled and said politely.
After the sumptuous dinner, Eryu Yuyve was invited by Du Haipeng to the study to discuss.
Ives has been in Shanghai for many years and is an authentic Chinese master. He especially loves Chinese antique calligraphy and paintings. Du Haipeng's study room didn't think there was anything to see, because such nouveau riche didn't know the historical and cultural value of antique calligraphy and paintings. He was nothing more than buying vulgar things and hanging them at home with a style. He was afraid that he would not know it if he spent a lot of money to buy fakes.
However, as soon as he entered the study, he saw a copy of "The Practice Picture" copied by Zhang Xuan, a painter of the Tang Dynasty, hanging on the south wall of Du Haipeng's study.
Although it was a copy, it can be seen that the painter's skill is extraordinary and different from ordinary fakes, which immediately attracted the eyes of Yove.
"President Du, this "Troubleshooting Picture"?"
"If Mr. Eryu likes it, I will order someone to take it down and just take it as a little care?" Du Haipeng said hurriedly. It is just a painting. Compared with real money, it cannot be eaten or used. What value can it have? If he wants to make money, he still needs to rely on Mr. Yu to support him here.
"How can you be so embarrassed? A gentleman doesn't take advantage of others. This way, President Du, how much does it cost to buy this painting? I will sell it to you at a price of 20%. What do you think?" Eryu Yuyu said sincerely.
"Mr. Eryu, you are so kind. You are just a painting, not worth a lot of money..."
"President Du, I like antique calligraphy and painting, but I don't like to rob. If you don't want to give up, then forget it." Ye Yu Yu said slightly.
"No, no, Mr. Eryu likes it, I'll sell it to you. As for the price, just give it to you." Du Haipeng shook his hand and said.
"Although this painting is not the authentic work of Zhang Xuan of the Tang Dynasty, the brushwork of the copyists is profound in essence. From the perspective of the age, it is almost eight or nine hundred years ago. It is an old object. If placed outside, it will be worth at least three hundred oceans!" Eryu Yuyve walked forward and carefully looked at it and said, "How about I buy President Du's painting from 500 oceans?"
"Five hundred oceans, a little too much. It only took me a hundred oceans to buy this painting."
"That's what President Du made, haha." Eryu Yuyve smiled, "Since I paid this price, I won't take it back. Later, I will order someone to send 500 oceans here."
"How can you be so embarrassed..." Du Haipeng rubbed his hands and said awkwardly.
"It's okay, our business will continue for a long time, what do you think, President Du?" Ye Yuyu smiled and completely took the initiative in the conversation.
"That's, that's it, doing business with Mr. Eryu is the happiest thing." Du Haipeng said with a smile on his face.
"President Du, how did that batch of goods be shipped?"
"It's coming out, but using the current method, the speed is a bit slow, and I feel that our people may be targeted." Du Haipeng said.
"Well, President Du, you can think of other ways to get this batch of goods out as soon as possible." said Ye Yu Yu Yve.
"I understand, Mr. Eryu, give me another week, and I promise to get this batch of goods out as soon as possible." Du Haipeng patted his chest and promised.
"Well, this batch of goods is just the beginning, and there will be more and better goods in the future. Then, you will make more money." Ye Yu Yu smiled.
“That’s, that’s.”
"You can try these goods at those underground money shops to see if anyone can recognize them. If they can't recognize them, then exchange them for oceans or gold bars and take them out immediately." Ye Yu Yuyi ordered.
"What if I get recognized?"
"It's okay, even if they recognize you, they can't do anything to you. At most, they don't just deposit money in their money house or bank." Yove said with a smile.
"I understand, I will ask my subordinates to do it tomorrow."
"You must be a reliable person."
"clear."
