Chapter 50: People in the Rivers and Lakes (I)
(Demon Shao: Recommended votes, brothers, don't miss it when you pass by, please vote for the recommendation, it's still a double watch today~!) )
Led by Shimar, the two new members of the team quickly retreated to the predetermined point of rendezvous with the helicopter through the debris and sand grains on the ground.
In the dark sand, six pairs of big feet wearing military leather boots were lifted again and again, and fell down again and again, at first the footsteps seemed a little chaotic, but when they were familiar with each other's rhythm and rhythm, no one to lead, nor deliberately cooperated, they have been through a hundred battles, more than anyone knows the value and meaning of the team, veterans, have begun to subconsciously cooperate with each other, tolerate each other, until their footsteps and even breathing are gradually mixed together, forming a sound so monotonous, But yet such a harmonious whole.
Closely following such a team, listening to the long and powerful breathing of the mercenaries around him who couldn't even be named, and feeling the amazing explosiveness and resilience contained in the bodies of these companions, the indescribable sense of familiarity slowly surged into Shi Shaoying's heart, making him even conscious for a moment. Shi Shaoying has really forgotten how long it has been since he has felt this indescribable tacit understanding and sense of security that can only belong to the army.
"Hey," the familiar feeling made Shi Shaoying completely relaxed, and he blurted out, "What did you just say with a small head and a big dollar?" ”
Shimar glanced back at Shi Shaoying with the eyes of an idiot, but for the sake of the two people who had temporarily become teammates, he still replied: "The old version of the hundred-dollar banknote that began to be printed in the eighties of the last century and can still be used today, has a very small proportion of Franklin's head printed on it, and is called a small head; The newly printed 100 yuan banknote at the back has a lot of enlarged avatars, so it is also called a big avatar. Due to the long circulation time, the number of counterfeit banknotes of various versions is extremely large, and in the third world countries of Africa, where the penetration rate of money detectors is too low, many places do not accept small head bills, and as long as the number of counterfeit banknotes is relatively small, the large head banknotes are relatively small. Among them are the unfounded pirates in Somalia and the armed rebels of the Al-Shabaab. You don't even know this, do you?! ”
In the eyes of war correspondents who run around the world, chasing wars and natural disasters, the difference between the old version of the dollar banknote and the new version of the banknote should probably be as prosaic and indispensable as common sense in life, but for Shi Shaoying, who has lived happily for 30 years, but for the first time to step out of the country, in many ways it is tantamount to the "old man" who walked into the Grand View Garden of Grandma Liu, but it is absolutely novel and unexpected knowledge.
"I'm fucking his sister!"
Shi Shaoying suddenly stretched out his right hand and raised a middle finger towards the east, he made this indecent action, it was by no means that he wanted to curse his motherland, but Shi Shaoying suddenly remembered an inconspicuous, but heart-wrenching little thing......
Shi Shaoying's mother is a person with a special hobby. This hobby, well, to give a simple example, one day in a certain month of a certain year, she saw in the newspaper that someone inadvertently picked up a few copper coins, and as a result, those copper coins were all first-class cultural relics, and the most valuable one was directly sold for a sky-high price of 50,000 yuan. She immediately fell in love with collecting bronze coins, whether it was true or false, she made several strings, until now, every time she saw Shi Shaoying, she would take out those fakes that God knows who copied them like a monkey offering treasures, plus a few copies of copper coin information, so that Shi Shaoying could compare the pictures to distinguish which copper coins are cultural relics and how much they can be sold for. As long as Shi Shaoying praised her for her good eyesight and collected a lot of cultural relics, her eyebrows would bend into the shape of a moon, and she looked very happy. As for those copper coins, she never tried to sell them, and judging by her appearance, she probably wanted to take those copper coins as their Yan family's family heirlooms.
In the past few years, direct TV advertising has begun to flood the silver screen, especially during the Olympic Games, and those manufacturers have taken the opportunity to launch a large number of high-end souvenirs selling dog meat on sheep's heads. Shi Shaoying's mother couldn't sleep for a long night one night, so she went to watch the midnight TV show, looked at it, didn't know how, and was attracted by the "high collection value" and "high appreciation space" of a "gold inlaid jade" souvenir, regardless of 3721, she picked up the phone on the spot and ordered three sets of prices of 6,666 yuan, which is said to be made of good Burmese jade and 24k gold, and the collection certificate issued by the national authority. Shi Shaoying still didn't dare to tell his mother that the so-called gold inlaid jade, the 24k pure gold on it was just brass with a layer of gold plated on it.
Fortunately, my mother didn't plan to take out the three sets of gold-inlaid jade souvenirs and sell them to earn "appreciation" profits, but talked about planning to give it to her daughter-in-law as a gift when Shi Shaoying remarried, and then leave the two sets to her grandchildren after her daughter-in-law gave birth to her grandchildren......
The reason why Shi Shaoying suddenly burst out is that he started teaching his mother to surf the Internet last year, and the first thing my mother learned to surf the Internet was not to chat QQ, not to play chess and card games online, but to learn to shop online professionally! Within two weeks of learning to surf the Internet, my mother made an extraordinary move, and bought five 100-dollar bills published in 1985 from the Internet, which, according to the seller, have become a treasure, with absolute collection value, and will continue to appreciate in value.
The $100 bills, with Franklin's face printed on them, were bought online for at least seven times more than the face value, but Mom still felt that she had made a lot of money.
Think about it, the Goddess of Peace commemorative coin published in China in 1986, the face value is only one dollar, and now 30 years later, it has been hyped more than 50 times in the collection world, even if it is a relatively larger number of commemorative coins of the Great Wall, it has also been speculated to more than 30 times. In contrast, the 100-dollar banknote published in 1985 has only increased sevenfold, and it must be a sure win!
In order to prove that her decision was wise and correct, my mother also took the five banknotes and went to the bank to do an appraisal, and the results made her very satisfied, all of them were real banknotes, and none of them were fake! On that day, my mother happily hummed a song while dancing on the road, and then happily transferred the money to the other party's account through Alipay. At that time, even Shi Shaoying felt that even if his mother used 20,000 or 30,000 yuan to buy five hundred-yuan bills, even if he couldn't earn it, at least he would not be cheated to his grandmother's house like usual.
But after listening to Shimar's explanation today, Shi Shaoying finally realized that the collectibles that my mother bought at seven times the price are simply the circulating currencies that are still in normal use on the international stage and are not accepted in Somalia, Yemen, Djibouti and even others!
