At noon on May 20, 1974, after handling the business of purchasing bonds with a house mortgage and Li Ping and Liu Fang joined the company, the four of us drove back home from the Finance Building.

After lunch at home, we had a branch in the living room of the house.

I said, "Niu Shilong and Du Wentao will be in closed training at the police academy for the next three months, and they can't go home!" Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Ping and Liu Fang will also go to work at the Financial Division! In the future, Xiaoming, Xiaoda and I will be responsible for the daytime duty in the office! After Li Ping and Liu Fang came home from work, they were in charge of the night duty! Let's do your own confidentiality! Be sure to keep your group members and yourself safe! ”

Liu Fang said: "Okay! After that, Li Ping and I took the bus to and from work every day! We're here 10 minutes away from the bus! It's very convenient! We'll take care of the transportation costs! In the future, we will be able to get more than $3,000 in wages and subsidies every month! We should be able to pay for ourselves outside! ”

I said, "Okay! Remember your home phone number! If you have an emergency or something important, give us a call! We're going to answer you! ”

After we finished, Li Ping and Liu Fang went to tidy up their office and housing to prepare for tomorrow's work.

I, Xiaoda, and Xiaoming were in the living room and started to get ready to sell bonds.

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Ah Cai! I didn't pour cold water on you! Bonds are illusory! Property and real money go in, and no one knows what they will get? Right? Alas, I don't know who you can convince with this kind of fiction?! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Okay! Zhou Xiaoming, just wait for others to send money! You're on duty in the office and answering the phone! That's it! If you are convinced, let Ah Cai do it! ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Xiaoda! I can do this! After all, Ah Cai is my godbrother! In the future, it may be my sister-in-law's younger brother! I'm willing to help you for free! ”

I said, "Okay! Any business is risky, and eating can choke people to death! You're all right! The problem is that we have to do this business! This is the opportunity for us to earn a lot of money at the moment! We can't be trapped and starved to death by this evil society! Brothers! Let's fight hard! ”

Zhou Xiaoming smiled and said, "Yes! Ahh I'm sorry! I'm not as good as you in business! Robbing me is not as good as you! Therefore, I don't want to be like you! I just want to be myself again! ”

Xiao Da smiled in Shanghainese and said, "Okay! I'm Allah! Nong stupid place Ning? Nong's brain is w! (Chinese translation: Okay!) I am me! Where are you from? Your brain is finished! ）”

Everyone laughed!

Actually, I don't have high requirements for Zhou Xiaoming, as long as he can help us do some auxiliary work, I am already very grateful to him!

Because, Zhou Xiaoming has been pampered since he was a child, and he is definitely different from those of us who are in the mountains and often face cold and hunger! Our adventurous and hard-working spirit is almost innate!

......

After May 21, Liu Fang and Li Ping, like ordinary civil servants in Hong Kong, took the bus to and from work on time every day. Lunch and dinner are eaten in the public canteen, and at 7 o'clock in the evening, they will be at home, on duty and resting.

Niu Shilong and Du Wentao conducted closed training at the Li Police Academy.

Therefore, Xiaoda and Xiaoming sometimes visit them at the Police Academy on weekends, bring them daily necessities, or invite them to eat and chat together at a restaurant near the Police Academy.

Of course, Xiaoda's main job and I are to sell bonds.

After Li Ping and Liu Fang went to work, Xiaoda and I began to take photos based on the promotional materials that Smith gave us to promote bonds, as well as the tax stamps for the purchase of our three houses, **, and the "Real Estate Mortgage Appraisal Certificate", "Gold Certificate of Mortgage Cash", "Bond Purchase Contract" and "Original Face Value of Bonds" and other supporting documents that we obtained in the Financial Division, and put these photos and Smith's promotional materials for our bonds in a folder.

That's how we've created two bond brochures that tell the story!

At the same time, we conduct many sales drills to persuade customers according to the questions that customers may ask.

In order to look more like a real salesman, we observed various salesmen in the city, and then we bought dark suits, white shirts, red ties, black leather shoes, work bags, etc., in clothing stores.

After everything was ready, Xiaoda and I started to maintain the car, and we were ready to go out and sell the bonds!

We know that we are strangers in Hong Kong City, we have no acquaintances, and it is absolutely impossible for this kind of virtual product to be marketed to strangers who have no trust base, and no one will believe the words of strangers!

Therefore, we decided to start selling this magic bond from the Tan family members we met in Saigon, such as Tan Ka Fook, Ah Fuk!

......

At 8 o'clock in the morning on May 23, I started to call Chen Guozhong's fellow countrymen!

On the phone, I told Uncle Zhong that I would introduce a fortune opportunity to him and his relatives!

Uncle Zhong listened to my call and said, let Xiaoda and I drive to them immediately according to the address he gave us, with our business tools, etc.

At around 9 a.m., we arrived at the Chen family's address, which is a new community in the New Territories, Kowloon.

After we parked the car, we entered Chen Guozhong's house with our business tools.

Chen Guozhong's home is a western-style building, very spacious, and the decoration and furniture are very luxurious!

When we entered the house, Ah Fu and Uncle Zhong came out to receive us, and we were very happy to meet!

They brought us into the living room, where there were two tables of mahjong and seven or eight Saigon folks were playing mahjong.

When they saw us coming in, they stopped playing mahjong!

They came over to sit on the couch with us, introduced each other, got to know each other, drank tea and talked.

Through Uncle Chung's introduction, we got to know the embassy of the South Vietnamese Consulate in Hong Kong City, Dr. Nguyen Van Van Wen, who is a young man in his fifties.

There is also General Chen Guoqiang, the quartermaster of the South Vietnamese puppet army office in Hong Kong City, who is in his forties and is the eldest brother of Uncle Zhong!

The others were either their retinue or wealthy merchants from Saigon.

Uncle Zhong said with tears in his eyes: "Envoy Ruan, big brother! Ah Cai and Xiao Da are Ah Fu's good friends! He is also a lifesaver for our family! They turned out to be the garrison of the northwest outpost of Yanshan Port, and after being dispersed by the guerrillas, they came to the port city with us! ”

The envoy said, "Alas! Ahh You young people, it's not easy to live! Now, the Civil War has come to an end! The Allies have begun to withdraw from the battlefield! The Northern Army is stepping up its offensive against us! Everybody is smart! It's the best policy! ”

General Chen said, "Ah Cai! Listen to my brother Ah Chung, you are helping the Hong Kong Financial Secretary to sell a bond! Is it? ”

I said, "Yes! On the boat we came here, we met Dr. Tsang Chun-ching, the director of the Financial Reform Office of the Financial Secretary, and they tricked us and made us the salesmen of their bonds! ”

So, Xiao Da and I gave our "Financial Business Liaison Certificate" to Envoy Ruan, General Chen, and others for inspection.

After reading our sales card, Envoy Ruan said, "Ah Cai! You tell us about the benefits of buying this bond! ”

I said, "Envoy Ruan, General Chen, fellow countrymen! The first benefit of this bond is that it can turn the property into a Hong Kong government bond that appreciates and preserves its value! In order to illustrate the trading process and benefits, I will explain to you with the case I just traded! My own three houses were appraised by the Financial Secretary and appreciated by 105 times, and it turned out that we had spent $114,000 on these houses, which turned into $12 million after the appraisal! Then, by mortgaging these properties, he borrowed $12 million of Hong Kong government reserve gold at the market gold price! Let's talk about selling this gold to get US dollars, and these US dollars to buy Hong Kong government bonds, I get 16.15 million US dollars in face value bonds! These bonds have a two-year maturity and an interest rate of 10.5% per annum! Since then, I have received $1,695,750 in interest every year, and I have received $16,150,000 in cash at maturity! The total income in two years is 19.5416 million US dollars, and the return on investment is 171.42 times according to the investment of 114,000 US dollars! At the same time, this bond is guaranteed by the Hong Kong government, which is very safe! What's more, the bonds can be deposited into the bondholder's bank account, and the interest is automatically calculated and cashed out, which is very safe and convenient! ”

Then, Xiao Da and I flipped the sales brochure we had made and showed it to Ambassador Nguyen and General Chen, and explained it.

After reading the brochure and explanation, everyone had an exciting discussion.

The envoy said, "Ah Cai! This is a very great bond! What if we want to redeem the property when the bond matures? ”

I said, "When you buy a bond with cash, you can redeem the house by returning the same amount of gold you lend to the Hong Kong government!" ”

General Chen said, "Understood! This practice is a bit like shorting gold in futures operations! However, if, at that time, gold does not fall, but rises, it may lose money! ”

I said, "Yes! However, we believe that with the end of the Vietnam War, the world currency dominated by the dollar will enter a deflationary phase! Gold is the main measure of currency, and the price will definitely fall! You should know this better than the economic analysts of the Hong Kong government! ”

Envoy Ruan smiled and said, "Ah Cai! I didn't expect you to have such a thorough understanding of economics and finance! You are worthy of the elite of our South Vietnamese country! If we buy these bonds directly with gold or dollars, is that possible? ”

I said, "Envoy Ruan! OK! However, the purpose of the Hong Kong government's introduction of these bonds is to stabilize the economy and raise funds for development! Therefore, the number of bonds is very limited! If you want to buy, you must hurry up! ”

The envoy said, "Ah Cai! You leave us a contact number! Go back first! We'll let you know when we've discussed it, and when it's time, take us to the Financial Secretary's trading room! ”

After I left them the phone number of the Demon Star Villa, Ah Fu and Uncle Zhong sent me and Xiaoda out.

After going out of the door, Uncle Zhong said, "Ah Cai! I have it myself, also three properties here and some gold! Can I buy and go again? ”

I said, "You can do it!" You can save enough money for a year or two of living expenses! Once you have interest income, you won't be afraid! When the time comes, you can bring the real estate certificate and gold, etc., and go to me with the Ruan envoys! ”

Ah Fu smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You guys are still capable! In the future, if there is a good thing to do business, you must notify us as soon as possible! ”

I said, "That's fine!" Now, after we do business, we know more people! If you have any good business to do, you can also ask us for help! ”

After saying goodbye to them, we drove back to the Magic Star Villa.

......

At 11 o'clock in the morning, we returned home, and after we had lunch, we were in the living room drinking coffee and waiting for the phone.

......

At 1 p.m., we received a call from the envoy Nguyen, who said on the phone that we should go to a place to pick them up and take them to the financial secretary's trading room, where they had all the property certificates, gold and dollars, etc. ready.

So, in accordance with the business attribution system, I called Manager Smith of the Financial Reform Business Department of the Financial Secretary and told them that the South Vietnamese were going to buy a large number of bonds, so that they could prepare for something, and registered the business attribution for us.

Then, Xiaoda and I went out with documents, weapons, business tools, etc.!

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the place where we received the Nguyen envoys.

Here is the courtyard of a building.

At this time, the entire courtyard was guarded and guarded by armed personnel, and more than 20 trucks with sealed tarpaulins were parked in the square of the courtyard.

In the square of the courtyard, there are more than 100 officials and businessmen dressed as officials, including Nguyen Envoy, General Chen, Chung Shu and Ah Phuc.

When the envoy saw us, he came up to me and said, "Ah Cai! We have hundreds of properties in store! 350 tons of gold! And more than $5 billion! More than 100 people here came with us! Is it possible to complete these transactions today? ”

I said, "Yes!" I've got them ready! In the afternoon, you will definitely be able to finish these businesses! My car leads the way in front! Follow me! ”

In this way, the cars such as the Nguyen envoy and General Chen followed me and the little Da Jeep, and their trucks and sedans followed them!

In this way, a convoy of dozens of our vehicles, escorted by armed men, marched mightily towards the office building of the Financial Secretary!

When we arrived at the courtyard of the Financial Secretary's Building, it was also heavily guarded, and there were military police standing everywhere!

Mr. Tsang, Mr. Smith, and the Financial Secretary officials greeted us in the courtyard.

After we parked our vehicles, Xiao Da and I took a dozen trading representatives, including Ambassador Ruan, General Chen, Uncle Zhong and Ah Fu, to meet Mr. Zeng and them.

Teacher Zeng held the hand of the Ruan envoy and said with a smile: "Ruan envoy! You are welcome to buy bonds! Today we have a special session for you! Just for your family! The gold you bring is sent to our vaults, where our people inspect and measure the gold, exchange gold for dollars, and buy bonds! Property and cash in dollars wait until we trade on the trading floor! ”

Smith shook my hand and said, "Ah Cai! You guys are amazing! These customers are already listed under your business number, and when their transaction is completed, you will know how much commission you are getting! ”

I said, "Okay! Thank you, Mr. Smith! We will continue to work hard! ”

Smith smiled and said, "Ah Cai! We've invited these people, but please don't move! How did you invite them? ”

I said, "We invited them in Vietnamese!" So here they are! ”

Smith laughed, and he said, "Ahhh You're so good! You let us know the power of Vietnamese! ”

.....

In this way, the envoy Nguyen had his men line up with more than twenty trucks to enter the underground vault of the Financial Secretary.

More than 100 other people followed Mr. Zeng, Smith, me and Xiao to the trading floor.

After arriving at the trading hall, they lined up at the various office windows of the trading hall to start the business procedures of real estate appraisal, mortgage loan, purchase of gold and bonds, or direct purchase of bonds.

......

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the entire special coupon purchase business for South Vietnamese people was completed.

We sold US$12 billion of treasury composite bonds through mortgage purchases; $8 billion of fiscal consolidation bonds were sold through cash purchases; US$2.5 billion of fiscal consolidation bonds were sold through spot gold purchases.

On this day, we sold $22.5 billion in bonds, and under the 15% commission package, we will receive $3.375 billion!

Smith told us that they had recorded the commission, and the results were consistent with the numbers we calculated!

However, he said that our commission would not be cashed out until the weekend of May 26th, and he told us to keep pulling customers!

After the guests left, Xiaoda and I said goodbye to Smith and Teacher Zeng.

We left the Treasury Mansion and drove back to the Magic Star Villa.

On the way home, we were talking.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! The business is very successful! But will they give us a cash-out commission? ”

I said, "There should be no problem!" We signed a bond sales contract with them! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "That's good! With today's sale, I think we should focus on the mortgage business! This is the area with the most sales! Many people in Port City have houses! However, there will be no shortage of people with gold and dollars! ”

I said, "Okay! Tomorrow, we're going to go to Officer Lu, he should know a lot of people in this area! ”
