Chapter 13 Business Grows, Shotguns Change!

On the morning of May 17, 1972, after Song Xiaobing contacted Uncle Wu, the three of us took 2 million yuan in cash and went to Nangong Wenwu's gold supply point like yesterday.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, after I got there, we discussed with Uncle Wu about buying the environment, and I told Uncle Wu about our two-day purchase plan for this year.

After Uncle Wu heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay! Lone Dragon, 2 million yuan of goods today, I will give you the price of 2.7 yuan/gram! A total of 740,750 grams of pure gold! Wait for you to pick up this goods yourself! Regarding, tomorrow, you want to buy 14 tons of pure gold, we will stock up for you today, and the price of this 14 tons of gold will be settled with you according to the price of 2.65 yuan/gram! Tomorrow at 11 a.m., we will deliver the goods to Phoenix Garden, your accommodation! Let's trade there! ”

I said, "Okay! Thank you Uncle Wu for delivering it to our door! ”

Uncle Wu said, "Brother! It's the little things! Do business! It's time for everyone to take care of each other! ”

So, we made a 2 million yuan gold transaction in Uncle Wu's underground vault according to the procedure, and Uncle Wu's personnel helped us pack 740,750 grams of thousand pure gold in more than a dozen wooden boxes, and helped us move to the back cabinet of our car and the back seat.

After loading the goods, the three of us got in the car and left Uncle Wu's place, and went directly to the dock warehouse Long Ye.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, in the warehouse where our Brother Long cashed in gold, Brother Long's staff immediately helped us inspect and weigh the goods.

Brother Long bought this batch of gold with us at a price of $1.3 per gram, and we got $963,000!

After the transaction, we went to Brother Long's office to discuss the matter of trading 14 tons of gold tomorrow, and we started to discuss it after sitting down on the sofa in the office!

Brother Long smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! You're so good! Tomorrow this deal is a big deal! I can buy 14 tonnes of gold at $1.35 per gram, which is $18.9 million! At 5 p.m., let's drive the money to your Phoenix Garden accommodation to pick up the goods! It might be a little more convenient that way! ”

I said, "Okay! Thank you, Master Long! That's it! Let's take care of the rest of the business first! We'll see you tomorrow afternoon! ”

In this way, we said goodbye to Master Long, took $963,000 in cash, and went directly to Brother Hui's currency exchange.

When we got there, Brother Hui did settle with us at the level of $1 million, and the transaction price was 1:40 between USD and RMB, so we got 38.52 million yuan in cash!

We counted the money and locked it in the back of our car.

Song Xiaobing and Gu Shunmin guarded the car, and I discussed the next transaction with Brother Hui.

I said, "Brother Hui! The next step is to reach the $10 million level! What is the transaction price? ”

Brother Hui smiled and said, "We can do it at any level!" Let's make a deal with you at 1:45! When the time comes, you may have to drive a truck! This trolley certainly can't hold that much cargo! ”

I said, "Thank you, Brother Hui! We do what you instruct! ”

So, we drove out of there and headed straight back to Phoenix Gardens.

......

At 11 o'clock in the morning of May 18, Uncle Wu and a dozen of his plainclothes men drove three trucks to the courtyard of our villa in Phoenix Garden.

We have a large vacated storage room on the first floor of the villa, inspection and inventory quantity!

The specification of this batch of goods is 100 kilograms of gold in a wooden box, a total of 140 boxes!

Uncle Wu's people moved the goods into the storage room, and me, Song Xiaobing, and Gu Shunmin inspected and counted the goods box by box.

After we inspected 140 boxes of goods without problems, Qiao Yan paid Uncle Wu 37.1 million yuan in cash at the transaction price of 2.65 yuan/gram.

After Uncle Wu's people collected the money, he said to me, "Lone Dragon! Our cooperation has been very smooth! Now, at the beginning of this year, we are almost selling! After a while, we have a large number of goods coming! When the time comes, we'll work with you again! ”

I said, "Okay! Let's stay in touch! Your cargo is coming, call me! ”

Then, Uncle Wu drove away with their people!

.....

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Long Ye took a dozen plainclothes and started three trucks to the courtyard of our villa, and they carried out box-by-box inspection and counting in the storage room.

After counting, Master Long gave us $18.9 million in cash!

After Qiao Yan and I checked the money and counted, Long Ye's people moved the goods to the truck.

We drank tea and chatted with Long Ye in the living room at home.

Long Ye smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! I know you're just starting out in this business! But you've done it a lot! ”

I said, "I'm not afraid of the Dragon Master's jokes!" My parents used to be in the gold business! ”

Long Ye said, "Oh! I see! No wonder you're so familiar with trading! May I ask your surname? ”

I said, "My father's surname is Jia!" My ancestors used to make a living in Palembang overseas! ”

Long Ye smiled and said, "Oh! It's not that Jiaolong doesn't go to sea! There is indeed a family surnamed Jia who does the gold business! They're doing a lot of business! ”

I said, "May I ask Master Long!" Do you have a relationship with the Jia family? ”

Long Ye said: "No! We do business on the road, they do business in the market, and everyone's well water does not interfere with river water! I've just heard! Do you still have contact with your family? ”

I said, "No more contact!" Now, I'm an orphan and my parents died at an early age! ”

Long Ye said: "Alas! Everyone is from a poor background! Otherwise, there will be no fight on the road! In the future, let's take care of each other! Now, I see you as my own brother! I think you are a good person, and in the future, we will definitely be able to become good brothers! ”

After Brother Long's men finished loading the goods, they drove away!

After dinner, the four of us gathered in my office to discuss the next steps in business.

Qiao Yan said: "Brothers! In the past three days, we have earned 1.618 million yuan! $18.9 million! I keep all this cash in my account and keep it in the public safe! If, tomorrow, we exchange 10 million US dollars for RMB at a price of 1:45, we will get 450 million yuan! According to the calculation of 10 million yuan per box, there are a total of 45 boxes of money here! In the future, the inventory, storage and custody of this money will be a troublesome matter! ”

Song Xiaobing said: "Yes! We are going to buy a few money counters, which can improve the safety and efficiency of counting cash and checking money! Let's get another truck, preferably second-hand, so that our actions don't attract much attention! ”

I said, "Okay! Tomorrow morning, the three of us will bring the money to buy four money counters and buy a second-hand truck with a load capacity of five tons! In the afternoon, we went to exchange 10 million US dollars! In the future, we want to do big business, and we can't do it without RMB! ”

......

On the morning of May 19th, after breakfast, the three of us drove out to buy groceries with cash as usual.

In the car, Gu Shunmin said: "Lone dragon! I know a place where there are used cars to buy! These vehicles are all retired military vehicles! Seventy or eight into new! License plates, driver's licenses, driving licenses, and refueling licenses are all available! And it's cheap! ”

I said, "Yes! Let's go to that place first! If the price is right, let's buy another jeep! In this way, in the future, it will be easier to do things! ”

At 10 a.m., we drove to the used car trading point, where there were a lot of used cars for sale.

We found a store with a relatively complete range of vehicles to inquire about the price.

A middle-aged man in his forties received us, and we drank tea and talked together on the sofa in the trading hall.

The man handed us business cards and said with a smile: "Three little brothers! What kind of car are you going to buy? ”

I looked at his business card, this person's name is Tian Dashan, and he is the manager of this car dealership.

I said, "Manager Tian! We want to buy a truck! 4 to 5 tons of load capacity! How much does a car cost? ”

Manager Tian said, "Okay! We all purchased the cars here from the military master! There is no problem with eighty percent new! Wait, you can test the car! The price is 5,000 yuan, and you have to buy a year's road maintenance fee, pay the transfer fee, apply for a license plate, driver's license, driving license and fuel license, etc., here is 500 yuan! 5500 bucks, you can drive the car away! ”

I said, "Manager Tian! Can I do all the formalities here? ”

Manager Tian said: "Of course! Choose your vehicle and pay for it! I'll let my men do it for you!" You don't have to worry about that! Make sure you can use the car normally! ”

I said, "Okay! Manager Tian, do you have a jeep to buy here? I would like to buy a set too! ”

Manager Tian smiled and said, "Of course there is!" Wait a minute, you can test it together! The price is 2500 yuan per unit! In addition, you have to buy a year's road maintenance fee, pay the transfer fee, apply for a license plate, driver's license, driving license and gas license, etc., which is also 500 yuan here! For 3,000 dollars, you can drive away! ”

I said, "Okay! Manager Tian, you take us to choose a car and test it! ”

So, Manager Tian called two clerks to take the three of us to the parking lot outside the house to select and test the car.

Half an hour later, we had a truck and a jeep. They are all eighty percent new, and the vehicle operating indicators and mechanical performance are very good, these vehicles are the vehicles that are often practiced and used by our secret service school.

Back in the trading hall, I gave Manager Tian 8,500 yuan in cash, and after they collected the money, they opened a car for us**!

Then, Manager Tian asked his staff to go to the vehicle management department with the attached copy, my identity certificate and other documents to go through the transfer procedures, as well as the relevant fees and documents.

At more than 11 o'clock in the morning, we got two vehicle license plates, road maintenance fees**, vehicle household registration certificates, driver's licenses, driving licenses and refueling licenses, etc., they helped us get two vehicles on the license plates, Gu Shunmin drove a truck, Song Xiaobing drove a jeep, I started a car We left the second-hand car market and went to buy a money counting machine.

Yangcheng is a metropolis with all kinds of commodities. In the financial instruments market, we bought four electric electronic display money counters that are mainly used for counting tickets, with simple money detection functions, and we buy the one with the brand and signal used in the bank counter, which is the most reliable and has the function of bundling banknotes. One of us spent 1000 yuan.

After buying flowers and loading the goods, the three of us drove back to Phoenix Garden in our respective vehicles.

At 12 o'clock at noon, we arrived at the yard of our home, and Qiao Yan was very happy to see two vehicles and four counting machines!

We set up the car, moved the money counter to Qiao Yan's office, and then we had lunch together, and we chatted while eating.

Qiao Yan said: "In the basement of the house, I have already called workers to tidy it up!" Later, we had a special vault in the basement! This dark room is wide enough, with thick iron doors and hidden locks! It should be safe to store currency, gold, etc.! ”

I said, "Okay! Let's finish our meal and take a break! Qiao Yan, you can help us prepare 10 million dollars! At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we went to exchange yuan and came back! ”

Gu Shunmin said excitedly: "Alas! We have everything now! In the future, there is no need to ride a bicycle around! ”

Everyone laughed!
