At around eleven o'clock at night, Chu Heng got up again, put on his clothes and went out, blending into the lonely dark night.
Go to Pigeon Market to find Ergou, give him a batch of grain and oil, and get back 3,400 yuan.
The two of them didn't communicate much during the whole process. Picking up the goods and getting the money was straightforward.
After arriving home, Chu Heng was not in a hurry to go to sleep. Instead, he took out all his savings and placed them neatly on the table, including new ones, old ones, odd ones, and piled high.
"he...tui!"
"Ten yuan, twenty, thirty..."
Chu Hengxi counted the money one by one with a wide smile, but as time passed, the expression on his face gradually turned from the joy at the beginning to numbness.
At this moment, he remembered the famous saying of a certain forced king, money is really just a series of numbers!
After counting for more than twenty minutes, Chu Heng counted the amount of cash in his hand.
A total of thirty-eight thousand, four hundred and sixty-two dollars and fifty-six cents!
In this era, for an individual, it can be said to be a huge amount of money.
If this was the result of corruption, the peanuts given to him would be enough to treat everyone in the hospital to a drink.
After counting the money, Chu Heng found another bundle of hemp rope and tied all the money into piles of hundreds of pieces according to the denomination. After doing it, he divided the money into two parts, one of which was thirty-five thousand. He has another use for the thousand dollars.
The remaining more than 3,400 were used for daily pocket money.
Big dog owners are proud...
The next day.
Chu Heng woke up as soon as the sky dawned. The warm morning light reflected on the curtains, and the bamboo patterns on them seemed to come alive and looked full of vitality.
Today he was a little lazy and didn't want to move much, so he didn't go shopping at the pigeon market. He lit a fire in the stove, washed and rinsed some, ate a few meat buns, and started chewing on the antique guide.
It was nearly half past seven before he put away his books and went out to work.
When Ni Yinghong also arrived, Chu Heng rushed up to share with her the good news about the in-laws on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.
The girl was overjoyed after hearing this. She excitedly took apart the woolen socks that a certain bitch had knitted for her brother the day before when she was angry with her. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"I'll go home with my parents in the evening... um..." Just in the middle of her words, Ni Yinghong suddenly frowned, and a touch of pain appeared on her smooth face. She unconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hands and forced a smile. He continued: "I will tell my parents when I get home."
Seeing this, Chu Heng couldn't help but feel nervous. He thought she was sick. He was about to ask, but then he counted the time and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It turned out that relatives were here.
"Just wait for me."
After saying the next sentence, he scurried back to the office, took out the brown sugar and jujubes and put them into his enamel jar, poured boiling water in to make a full cup of jujube brown sugar water, and then carefully returned to the front room with the steaming cup.
A qualified boyfriend must remember his girlfriend's menstrual period. Not only can this save the dog's life, but if done properly, it may also unlock some skills.
What Mr. Lu Shuren said, if you don’t believe me, just ask.
When Chu Heng placed a large glass of brown sugar water in front of Ni Yinghong, the girl was instantly warmed up and moved to the core.
Holding the hot cup, she raised her head with love and looked at the tall, handsome, caring man in front of her, and smiled softly: "You are so kind."
This is her man. Although he is a bit cheap and a bit wild, he still cares about her and is worthy of trust.
Chu Heng was lying on the cashier counter, leaning his head on his hands, and said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, how about you go to my place to learn an instrument at night?"
"Can you be okay?" Ni Yinghong immediately rolled her eyes and her cheeks felt a little hot. Why does this guy always want to offend others?
Thinking that she would soon become the bride of this dead man, the girl immediately panicked. How would he torment me? ! !
Chu Heng, a slut, liked her shy and timid appearance. When he saw the girl lowering her head shyly, he shyly approached Ni Yinghong and teased Ni Yinghong for a while, until she took out a sweater needle and wanted to poke him. Then I returned to the office satisfied.
I took out my abacus and account book to write some calculations, and played a few games of chess with Old Man Lian. The whole morning passed uneventfully.
After lunch, Chu Heng ran out of the grain store without being gentle with Ni Yinghong and went straight to the bookstore where that man worked.
This time he was not looking for antiques from the old man, nor was he looking after his children, but he was looking for some gold from the old man.
The thirty-five thousand yuan he allocated last night was just for this matter.
Before meeting Na Qingyuan, Chu Heng made money just to stock up on houses and do business after the city was opened to the outside world. However, after meeting these old people and children, he had other ideas.
During the reform and opening up, he was just in time to catch up with the tail end of the gold bull market. If he turned the temporarily useless money in his hands into gold now, and waited until the peak of the bull market to find a way to cash it out abroad, the price would be almost several times the current price. Money was still a hard currency at that time, which was far more cost-effective than hoarding money in your hands.
The current gold purchase price of domestic banks is 241 taels, which is approximately equivalent to 1.76 ounces. By January 1980, the international gold price seemed to be around 850 US dollars an ounce, which was only one tael. That's one thousand four hundred and ninety-nine dollars.
This business is a huge profit!
And in that era, foreign exchange was indeed much more useful than RMB!
Chu Heng was not worried that the old man and the young would not sell his gold.
At this time, the old and young people in Sijiu City, except for a few who joined the public-private partnership and received dividends, the others relied on selling their capital to maintain a luxurious life. Today they would exchange some silver coins, tomorrow they would sell gold bars, and the day after tomorrow they would sell antiques.
As long as he purchases gold at a higher price than the bank, I believe those people will be willing to sell him the gold bars in their hands.
After all, no one wants to have trouble with money, right?
Chu Heng had a busy journey and soon arrived at the Huaxia Bookstore located on Liulichang West Street.
It is said to be a bookstore, but in fact it is similar to a cultural relics store. It also deals in cultural relics. However, the project is very simple. It only sells old books and periodicals, and rubbings of inscriptions and inscriptions. It also sells newly printed ancient books, reproduces and publishes ancient Chinese documents, and provides supplements to readers. Broken books and single-volume newspapers and periodicals of a single year.
Chu Heng found a place to park his car, and walked into the ancient Huaxia Bookstore. He asked someone to inquire, and soon found Qingyuan, who was sorting books next to a huge bookshelf.
He strolled over and said hello with a smile: "I'm busy, that master."
The old man turned his head unexpectedly and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"I have something to do with you. Let's go out and chat?" Chu Heng pursed his lips toward the door.
"Didn't you find some treasure again?" Qingyuan didn't think about it elsewhere, because the intersection between the two was antiques, and it was because of this that they usually met.
"We'll talk about it when we get out." Chu Heng pulled him out of the bookstore and found a quiet corner to stand. He first took out a cigarette and lit it for the old man, and then said what he wanted to say: "I'm looking for you today to ask you to help collect some." Gold.”
"Why do you want that thing?" The old man was very surprised. Unlike before, gold is not allowed to be circulated among the people. If you want to exchange it for money, you can only go to the bank and sell it. Very few people will buy this thing at this time. .
"Don't worry about it."
Chu Heng puffed out his cigarette with a smile, put his arms around the old man's shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "I don't care how much you spend to get it, I'll just give you two hundred and forty-five cents, how about this deal?" "
Everyone in the world is profit-seeking. He gave the old man a sufficient price difference. I don't believe he will not be tempted.
