I have a piece of foreign currency of 1,000 yuan in my house, and the money is real, but it has become a piece of waste paper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSpeaking of this thousand foreign currency, there is another unspeakable story.

It was the first day of the ninth lunar month in 2000, and my wife and brother built a house and asked me to do the procurement for him. When I came to Longhui County, it was just noon, and when I came to the intersection of Daqiao Road and Yanhe Road, I was hit by a young man in a hurry.

"Why, I don't have long eyes when I walk." I grumbled.

"Big brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The young man smiled apologetically and said politely.

I took a closer look at the man in front of me, and saw that he was of medium height, with a Chinese face, a Western-style head, clear eyebrows, a fashionable black suit, a pair of shiny black leather shoes, and a black briefcase under his armpit.

"Brother, listen to the accent, you're not a local, are you?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm from Leshan, Sichuan." The man replied.

"Seeing that you are in a hurry, you must have encountered some trouble?" I asked casually. It stands to reason that you shouldn't inquire about other people's affairs, and you don't have to ask, but I felt a little curious, so I asked casually.

The young man looked left and right, and quickly pulled me to a remote place, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said mysteriously: "Big brother, do you see it?" The motorcycle just now, the three young people in the car, were watching me. Fortunately, I hid in time, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

I felt inexplicable and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Here's the thing, we are from the Leshan County Foreign Trade Bureau, this time, our unit is a group of three people, escorting a big truck to Rongjiang, Guangxi, passing through here, there was a car accident and killed an old man. The local people wanted us to pay 100,000 yuan in cash, but we didn't have that much cash on us, so we had no choice but to use foreign currency to convert cash, but the local people didn't want foreign currency, only RMB. In desperation, I had no choice but to come to the bank in the county town to exchange foreign currency for RMB. Who knows, as soon as I entered the city, I was watched, and I had to run desperately in order to escape, so I was really embarrassed to accidentally bump into you. Big brother, this is my business card, please take care of it. ”

I took the business card and looked at it: Jia Ming, the general agent of the Foreign Trade Bureau of Leshan County, Sichuan Province.

"Brother, this is our unit's letter of introduction and procurement list." Jia Ming took out a few more documents from his briefcase and said.

I looked at all the documents and was convinced of Jia Ming.

"Brother, as the saying goes: 'Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out.'" Since I have encountered it, it is fate, if there is anything difficult that I need to help with, as long as I can do it, I will spare no effort. I cared.

"Then I'll thank my eldest brother first, in fact, it's not a big deal. When I first arrived, I didn't know the place well, and it wasn't easy to find someone. My father has a comrade-in-arms named Liu Daming, who is the head of the Guixian Material Bureau. I don't know where the Materials Bureau is, so please accompany me to the Materials Bureau. Jia Ming smiled awkwardly and said.

"Go to the Material Bureau to find someone, this is easy, I'll accompany you on a trip." I readily agreed.

"Thank you so much." Jaming was almost grateful.

I took Jia Ming to look for the Material Bureau together, and the two chatted and inquired while walking, and after a while, they came to the door of the Material Bureau.

The gatekeeper was not there, so we walked directly into the courtyard and were about to ask someone about it, when a middle-aged man in a light gray jacket walked down from the office building. This man answered the phone as he walked, and the tone of his voice seemed to be from a bureau chief.

"Comrade, may I ask, is your director in the unit?" When the man finished answering the phone, I walked over and asked politely.

"Which director are you looking for? Is it Director Liu or Director Huang? If it's Director Huang, he's in the office building, and he's looking for Director Liu, he's on a business trip. The middle-aged man spoke very kindly and was very friendly.

"Uncle Liu, he's on a business trip? Will he be able to come back today? Jia Ming asked impatiently.

"He couldn't come back, just now he called me and said that he would not be back in two or three days. Who are you Director Liu? What's the matter with him? The man in the jacket asked suspiciously.

Jia Ming came to the man in the jacket and said politely: "Big brother, that's the case, Uncle Liu and my dad are comrades-in-arms in the trenches. In the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam that year, my father was the platoon leader of the sharp knife platoon, and Uncle Liu was the squad leader, and their platoon suffered heavy losses in a battle, only seven people were alive, five of them became disabled, and only my father and Uncle Liu walked away from the ghost gate and were unscathed. Since then, Uncle Liu and my father have married Jin Lan, and the two are like brothers. ”

"Oh, I see." The man in the jacket finally understood.

When Jia Ming heard that Liu Daming would not come back until a few days later, he was very anxious, and the expression on his face suddenly turned cloudy.

"Brother, don't worry, Director Liu is my old leader, his business is my business, if there is any difficulty, as long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to help you do it." If that doesn't work, I can call him directly and get his idea. The man in the jacket said.

When Jia Ming heard this, his face immediately turned cloudy.

"That's right, our unit's car had a car accident in Guidi, hit and killed an 80-year-old man, and the local people detained our person and car, saying that they wanted us to pay 100,000 yuan, but we didn't agree, and finally bargained and reached an agreement to compensate 80,000 yuan. We don't have cash, only foreign exchange, they don't want it, they have to ask for RMB. In desperation, I had to come to the county seat to ask my father's old comrade-in-arms Uncle Liu for help. After Jia Ming finished telling the truth of the matter, the man in the jacket suddenly realized.

"This is easy to do, I have a classmate who is the president of CCB, and he is the only one who has to deal with foreign exchange against RMB. Let's go, let's go to him for help. "The man in the jacket said he would take us to CCB.

"Haven't asked your brother for your last name?" I hesitated for a moment and asked.

"My surname is Deng, and I work as a director in the office. You can just call me Old Deng. ”

"Uncle Deng, you two go, I think, I'll stay here. Now, there are a lot of pickpockets near the bank, and I have millions of foreign exchange in my bag, in case I am watched, then I am afraid that I will be ...... if I can't get out of the county" Jia Ming hesitated a little.

"You have a point. In this way, you give me the sample first, and I will take it to the bank for identification, and ask the exchange price by the way. What do you think? Director Deng glanced at Jia Ming with an inquiring gaze and said.

Jia Ming also agreed, but he asked me to go with Director Deng and help others to the end, so I had to agree.

"This is a thousand francs, you take it to identify the authenticity, and by the way, ask about the market." Jia Ming took out a piece of foreign currency from his briefcase and handed it to Director Deng, saying.

Director Deng took the foreign currency and gave me a look, I don't know what kind of medicine this Director Deng sells in the gourd? Out of curiosity, he did not hesitate to go to CCB with Director Hu.

The window of CCB was crowded with people, so Director Deng led me through the back door. He first made a phone call to the president, and then a middle-aged man who looked quite fat walked out, and he was probably the president.

Director Deng showed the president the foreign currency, and the president said that according to the market, 1,000 francs could be exchanged for 400 yuan.

"Oh my God, according to this, the foreign currency in Jia Ming's bag can be exchanged for tens of millions of yuan. No wonder Jia Ming was scared. I muttered to myself.

Director Deng and the president of the bank started chatting together, and I walked to the side with interest. It wasn't until they finished chatting that Director Deng came over to greet me.

"Brother, what is your surname? Where are the people? Director Deng asked.

"The surname is Zeng, a two-card one." I said casually.

"The double hand is not far here. It's only thirty or forty miles away. Director Deng said.

"My home is in Dushi, and it is only more than 20 miles away from the path, which is at the junction with Longhui Wentang Village." I said.

"How did you and that guy meet?" Director Deng asked.

"Hit it on the road. We didn't know each other. I said.

"Brother, how about we make a discussion?" Director Deng inquired.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"It's about helping that Sichuan guy exchange foreign currency. The governor said that 1,000 yuan could be exchanged for 2,000 yuan, and we said that 1,000 yuan could only be exchanged for 2,000 yuan, so that we could get 1,000 yuan in exchange for 10,000 francs. I don't know what my brother thinks? Director Deng said.

"Is pie in the sky?" I can't believe that there is such a coincidence in the world. But the facts are in front of you, that Director Deng and that president are genuine.

"There's no way they could have deceived me as a local. But it is too immoral for us to join together to deceive a foreigner. I thought to myself.

The two of us came to the compound of the Material Bureau, where Jia Ming was anxious, and when he saw us coming, he hurriedly walked over and asked.

Director Deng told Jia Ming the price he had discussed, and Jia Ming listened to it and had to nod helplessly.

"Young man, give me the foreign currency, and I will exchange it for you at once." Director Deng urged.

Jia Ming was about to open his briefcase when he suddenly stopped.

"No, two big brothers, this is the first time I have dealt with you, this is related to the vital interests of our bureau and the personal safety of our two colleagues who were detained, I can't hand over so much foreign currency to you at once, unless you pay a deposit first." Jia Ming said.

"Pay a deposit? I didn't. Director Hu, it's better for you to handle it alone, my matter is over, there is no need to stay here. "I said, just lift your legs and go.

When Director Deng saw that I was leaving, he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother, people are new to the world, and they are not familiar with the place, so it is reasonable for us to be uneasy, so you can help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west!" ”

"How can I help? I don't have that much money to pay a deposit. I said helplessly.

"It doesn't matter if you have less money, I'll figure it out. You go to your relatives to borrow some first, how much you can borrow, and I'll figure out how to do the rest. We'll just have to make the first switch. Director Deng gave me a look and said.

I understood, and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

So, the soldiers divided into two ways and went to raise money separately.

I have no relatives and no reason in Longhui County, and the only person I can find is my cousin who works in the county people's hospital, and we rarely interact with each other.

The first time I came to see my cousin was four years ago. That time, I wanted to buy a fan, but I didn't have that much money, and I wanted to borrow fifty yuan from my cousin, but before I could speak, my cousin's aunt made a preemptive attack, so I had to return in vain.

"It's better to go to my cousin's house to borrow money, but if you go, you don't go. There's nowhere else to borrow. I thought to myself, but there was really nothing I could think about, so he simply sat down and thought calmly.

"Jia Ming, a native of Leshan, Sichuan, looks like he is only twenty years old, he works in the Foreign Trade Bureau at a young age, and he is also the general agent of procurement, how can the people in the bureau rest assured that a large amount of foreign exchange will be handed over to a young man? That's too hasty!

The person he was looking for was called Liu Daming, and when he came to the bureau, he didn't see him, saying that he was on a business trip and would come back in a few days, how could it be so coincidental?

There is also this Director Deng who said that he was the director of the office, but he was not in the office during working hours, I don't know if it is true or false? As the head of the line, why is that president so casual?

Besides, Jia Ming, a person engaged in foreign trade, should be well aware of the foreign currency against the renminbi, how could he let us get so much oil and water from it so easily? All of this is incredible.

To say that they are a group, one from Sichuan and two local, how can they walk together? If it's pre-designed, how do they know that someone has taken the bait?

Besides, they are in a unit like the Material Bureau, and it is in broad daylight, if they want to deceive people, how easy is it to talk about it? Aren't you afraid that the East Window incident will happen and fall into the legal net? ...... "I can't figure it out when I think about it.

"What should I do? When I went out, my wife once told me not to trust strangers easily. If it weren't for the scam, I would have made a windfall, and if it was a scam, I would have nothing. Whether it's a scam or not, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, I have to go to the public security bureau first to find out the situation. "I finally made up my mind.

When I came to the gate of the Public Security Bureau, I happened to meet a young police officer coming out of the bureau. I was about to inquire when the young officer spoke first: "Teacher, why are you here?" Have you eaten? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and asked for a while, "Are you ......?"

"I'm Huang Hao, and I'm in the second year of junior high school in your class in '89." Huang Hao said.

I was ecstatic to hear it. I came to the bureau to inquire about the situation, but I didn't expect that there would be students working in the bureau, so it would be better to do things.

"Huang Hao, I encountered a strange thing today, the pie in the sky is true or false? You give me a reference reference. So I told me what had happened.

Huang Hao listened, slapped his thigh, and said happily: "Teacher, you have made a great contribution." In the past ten months, there have been several cases of fraud in the county, all of which are related to counterfeit foreign currency cases. It's a criminal gang that takes advantage of people's desire to get rich and sets up a series of schemes to convince you of the truth and then lure you into the bait. Think about it: Isn't Jia Ming a fake name, and isn't Liu Daming a big name? Obviously, this is a conspiracy set up by them to deliberately lure you into the bait. ”

I listened and woke up like a dream. "Thankfully, I came to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the situation first, or the few hundred dollars in my pocket would have been gone. What do I do now? I asked.

"I'll send you eight words: be quiet, lure the fish to the bait." Huang Hao smiled wryly and said.

I would have liked to inquire about their specific plan of action, but it was confidential, so I couldn't ask again. I had to do it according to the eight-character policy that Huang Hao said.

After leaving the Public Security Bureau, I turned a corner and came to the People's Hospital, and then swaggered out of the gate of the hospital. As soon as I walked about 100 meters, I met Director Deng in the shade of a tree on the side of the road.

"How could he be here? Is my every move under his watch/?" I was a little panicked, but then I thought about it: "I am going to the public security bureau from the advanced hospital, and I should not show my feet when I come out or come out from the entrance of the hospital." Huang Hao wants me to be quiet and lure the fish to the bait, I can't mess with myself and ruin a big deal. "The thought of this calms my heart.

"Director Deng, why are you here? Did you get any money? "I pretended to be surprised.

"Get 5,000 yuan, what about you?" Director Deng asked.

"Alas, it's hard to borrow money, and now I only have a total of five hundred dollars." I shook my head and sighed.

"Five hundred is five hundred, it's a big deal, let's go a few more times."

So, the two of us came together under the old camphor tree outside the gate of the Material Bureau, which was the place we had agreed with in advance.

The two of us stopped for a while in the shade of the tree, and we didn't see the Sichuan boy coming.

"Where's Jamin? Did you hear something and hide? I wondered.

"Probably not, this place is so close to the bureau, once something happens, he just needs to shout, and the security guards in the bureau will come out." Director Deng said.

I think so, too. What to do? I had to wait for Jia Ming to show up.

I looked left and right, and saw that there was nothing unusual around, and there were no suspicious people, and not far away, only a few small vendors were shouting.

"You're here." Jamin suddenly appeared behind us, as if he had come out of the ground, silently.

I was amazed.

"Where did you just go, why didn't we see you?" Director Deng asked curiously.

"I fell from the sky." Jia Ming pointed to the old camphor tree with thick branches and leaves beside him.

"What a cunning fox, so young and cunning." I muttered to myself.

"Did you get any money?" Jia Ming asked.

"Five thousand." Director Hu said frankly.

"What about you? How many? Jia Ming asked, looking at me.

"I only have five hundred." I was a little embarrassed to say.

"In that case, let's redeem these first." Jia Ming reluctantly opened his briefcase, took out a foreign currency and gave it to me, and I also gave Jia Ming the only five hundred yuan on my body.

Director Deng still seems to want to bargain, and the two of them are negotiating.

I took a foreign currency with a denomination of 1,000 yuan and went to the CCB to exchange RMB, went to the foreign currency exchange window, handed the foreign currency over, and the bank clerk handed it back and said, "This foreign currency has long been outdated and useless." ”

"Didn't your governor say that a thousand dollars can be exchanged for two thousand four?" I asked incredulously.

"When did our governor say something like this when he said something like this." The clerk pointed to a middle-aged man at the counter next door.

When I saw that the president was a thin middle-aged man, I knew I had been fooled.

The clerk laughed and said, "You must have been deceived again." ”

I nodded, smiled wryly and said, "I was cheated out of 500 yuan, I hope the 500 yuan bait will not be lost." ”

"Have you called the police?" The bank clerk asked, confused.

I smiled and nodded.

"You are the most intelligent one we have ever met, and in our county, there was once a college professor who was cheated out of more than 10,000 yuan. Hopefully they'll be caught this time. The clerk looked at me with admiration and said happily.

When I left the door of CCB, I looked around, and Jia Ming and Director Hu were gone, as were the few small vendors shouting along the street.

"Where should I go? Material Bureau or Public Security Bureau? Huang Hao: Where are they? Have the criminals been caught? ”

Just as I was hesitating, a man wearing a straw hat, a leather jacket, and a basket on his shoulder shouted and walked across the road.

"Huang Hao, is that you? How do you dress up like this, I almost don't recognize it. I said happily.

"Really? If you want to catch a fish, you can't do it without a little effort. Huang Hao walked up to me with a smile on his face, shook my hand excitedly, and said proudly: "Teacher, thank you for the detective stories you once told us, which have come in handy now." ”

"You're still the same, haven't changed at all. What do you think? No problem! Is my bait still there? I asked.

"That's it." Huang Hao stretched out three fingers.

I understand that all three were caught.

"Here's your bait, and I'll give you a big fish." Huang Hao first handed me five hundred yuan, and then took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to me, jokingly.

I took the money, so excited that I didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a police car drove from the front, and Huang Hao held my hand affectionately and said, "Teacher, I'm leaving, I'm free to play." With that, I got into the police car.

The police car disappeared like a smoke, and I looked at the departing police car, only to feel that my heart was surging and my thoughts were full of thoughts.
