Chapter 21 For the sake of ten thousand, the mouth must be extinguished
On December 3, the Shanghai railway station in the cold wind was as crowded as ever, and two men were on the platform, watching a train enter the platform. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
One of them was at least 1.85 meters tall, about 278 years old, standing like a javelin, and was unusually conspicuous on the platform: this man was not only tall, but his eyes seemed to be emotionless and cold!
The other one is much more normal, about 1.75 meters tall and about 30 points old.
The elder is Zhang Nan's brother-in-law, and after receiving a call from Zhang Nan a few days ago, he specially asked for leave and borrowed a jeep from the unit to pick him up.
As a result, because he was the hero who came to pick up the coal procurement of the Material Bureau, Comrade Director waved his pen after learning about it: tolerance.
In the soft sleeper car, when I saw my brother-in-law getting out of the car with a big bag and a small bag, he was still talking and laughing with the two gringos who got off the car together, but Xiang Weirong and the two didn't catch up.
"Goodbye, John, Jack. Saying goodbye to the two Yankees in the same box, Zhang Nan noticed his brother-in-law in the crowd.
"Brother-in-law, why did you get on the platform directly?"
"Platform ticket. ”
Saying that, he took the big box in Zhang Nan's hand, and another person came up directly to unload the mountaineering bag that Zhang Nan was carrying.
"Brother Guan!" Seeing who it was, Zhang Nan was surprised, this person was an old subordinate brought out by his brother-in-law's army, "Why are you here?"
Guan Xingquan, a native of Jiaojiang, Jiangnan Province, is an old subordinate of his brother-in-law. After his brother-in-law changed jobs, every time he went home to visit relatives, he would go to his brother-in-law's house to live for a few days, and he also taught Zhang Nan to punch and kick for a few days.
And his mother was born in Yan County, and she only married Jiaojiang in her twenties, and her mother's home is less than 5 miles away from her brother-in-law's hometown!
This world is sometimes so small! So Guan Xingquan can also speak a dialect that is not authentic.
It stands to reason that he should still serve in the army, so Zhang Nan was a little surprised.
"I'll say later, that's not the place to talk. ”
Zhang Nan was not polite and gave the mountaineering bag to Guan Xingquan. Seeing that he picked it up casually with one hand, he secretly whispered in his heart!
In fact, although Guan Xingquan was relaxed, he was also taken aback by the weight when he mentioned the mountaineering bag: "At least more than 100 catties!"
As soon as he arrived in the jeep in the parking lot, Guan Xingquan sat in the cab, and Zhang Nan and his brother-in-law entered the back seat.
"Anan, Xingquan has recovered, because of an accident. This time, you called and said that there were a lot of things, and you had to find a reliable good figure to do something, so I asked Xingquan to come over. ”
"Oh. "I didn't ask any questions, I don't need to ask more, as for the reliable manpower needed next, this Brother Guan deserves absolute trust!
Zhang Nan trusts her sister and brother-in-law, and knows that if you want to say who your brother-in-law trusts the most, then her sister is the first, and she can only be regarded as the third, this Guan Xingquan is definitely the second!
The brother-in-law is not only Guan Xingquan's old squad leader and half a fellow countryman, but also saved his life on the battlefield abroad, which is the iron friendship established in blood and fire! Moreover, Zhang Nan knows that Guan Xingquan will remember that life-saving grace decades later.
Moreover, Guan Xingquan's father died early, and there was only one old lady in the family, not even a close relative. Two years ago, he was on a mission on the southwest border, and his wife broke her leg, and his brother-in-law and sister ran to the hospital.
This person is emotional, strict-mouthed, and takes money lightly, which is reliable!
"Brother Guan, don't be in a hurry to go to the guest house first, go to Huiji Road, I want to buy something. Guan Xingquan said to the car.
"Hmm. ”
Looking at a map of the urban area of Shanghai listed on the car, Guan Xingquan didn't say much.
"Didn't you say you were going to do something near Huiji Road?" right now?" Xiang Weirong frowned.
"No, I'm going to go there first to collect some national food stamps, old renminbi and silver dollars, I told the ticket seller there last time. It's not convenient to do something big tonight or tomorrow. ”
As he spoke, he took out a small satchel from his hiking bag, took out two dozen "Great Unity" from it and stuffed them into the inner pocket of his coat, and there were 10 bundles in the bag!
"Why are there so many?" asked his brother-in-law.
"The rebate given by the coal mine, 2,000 yuan for 5,000 tons at the beginning, and I gave two more points for the last 10,000 tons. A total of 14,000, it has already been spent. ”
The car is full of its own people, so there is no need to hide it.
"The director gave you 20 points of autonomy, and you only used half of it, which is okay. Xiang Weirong knows that these buyers are more daring than the other, but it is rare for many years to meet him like his brother-in-law, and he is a little ruthless.
After thinking about it again, he asked, "Is the end clean?"
More than 10,000 yuan in kickbacks, if someone tracks it down, it is enough for Zhang Nan to be sentenced to more than ten years!
"It should be no problem, there are also veterans over there, there should be no bottom account, and they are not stupid. ”
At this time, Guan Xingquan, who had always looked like a sullen melon, spoke, and as soon as he spoke, Zhang Nan was startled: "Squad leader, do you want me to go to the coal mine in a few days to deal with it?"
"Don't Brother Guan! There are still 100,000 tons next year, and I still want to make a fortune from this!"
"When I didn't say it. A muffled voice came from the front.
"Let's talk about it next year. ”
The brother-in-law said this to Guan Xingquan, and Zhang Nan didn't want to interject. "What is this called?! I just took some benefits, and here I shouted and shouted to kill, did I commit it?"
One wants to solve the problem once and for all, and the other will talk about it next year, the tone is light, Zhang Nan feels that this is not the harmonious society he is in at all.
"Is this still my brother-in-law?"
This Brother Guan is a ruthless person, so let's not talk about things in the army: I remember that he should have been demobilized at the end of the 80s, and then he didn't do the work he arranged, and ran to do smuggling business, and the road was very wild!
However, he suddenly disappeared in the mid-90s, and it was not until 2010 that Zhang Nan saw him again at his brother-in-law's house, when Guan Xingquan also gave him a limited edition Omega diamond-encrusted gold watch worth only more than 400,000 yuan - it turned out that he went to Southeast Asia to do "big business", and he ran away at the beginning.
"You've brought you money, and honestly, when did you save so much? ”
Zhang Nan sealed 30,000 pieces of cash in a plastic bag, put charcoal as a desiccant, and buried it under the floor tiles in the living room, and on top was Zhang Baxian's table.
Why didn't he deposit it in the bank? He had already deposited 20,000 yuan in the bank, so as not to shock the world.
"Sister doesn't know, right?"
"What do you say?" Xiang Weirong glanced at his brother-in-law, "I didn't tell her, so as not to worry." I'm not afraid of mold when buried in the ground!"
Xiang Weirong didn't stare at the source of the money, but Zhang Nan still planned to tell a half-truth: "Last year, I took out the old house and bought a wooden Buddha statue weighing forty or fifty catties for 5 yuan. As a result, I found that the back of the Buddha statue seemed to have been manipulated before, and I thought it was strange and pried it, and finally took out 3 large yellow croaker. I went to the bank and sold two, a total of more than 50,000 yuan, and left one that I was reluctant to sell.
"Don't sell it, keep it, this thing is a family background. ”
"Keep it for Jia Nan and use it for your daughter-in-law, hehe!"
"What kind of big yellow croaker does a boy want, and he doesn't want to marry his daughter to press the bottom of the box. The brother-in-law is not red-eyed: he knows what the "big yellow croaker" is, just ten taels of gold bars, which is equivalent to today's weight of 312.5 grams.
didn't bother with this issue, Xiang Weirong didn't want to ask more, everyone has a bit of a secret, and Zhang Nan didn't bother to explain: Article 3 of his "code book" was the Buddha statue, but instead of buying it, he rode a bicycle for more than an hour and moved it to an abandoned temple in the next county. Otherwise, when the temple is rebuilt in a few years, the secret will be discovered.
And it's not three, it's six, two styles of "big yellow croaker"! Zhang Nan sold 4 common ones in banks around the country in one go (in the mid-80s, only banks could trade gold. Before the liberation, the ten taels of gold bars minted by the Central Mint in Shanghai, which would have cost more than 80 gold, if it weren't for a memory, plus the remaining two are rare old European gold bars, he would have sold them all!
The gold bars minted at the Bund Central Mint in Shanghai before the liberation may be worth much in 30 years, but they are not as real as they are now when they are sold: the price of gold has increased three or four times in a few decades, and even if you add the collection value, it is not as good as cashing out.
Zhang Nan didn't take the money and deposit it in the bank to earn interest, he exchanged it for 50,000 yuan in one breath for just two yuan of "lathe worker"! It will be worth more than half a billion yuan in the future!
