All the way to the boat, especially by boat, not so tired, Yang Yuanzhao and Yang Yue are young people, as long as a little rest, they will restore their original appearance, all the way, the delay time, not less, especially Yang Yue, almost no stop, after a phone call, rushed to find Yang Yuanzhao, said: "Yuanzhao, I have contacted Qichang Foreign Bank, do you want to go over!" ”

"No, I have another appointment!" Yang Yuanzhao rejected Yang Yue and said.

Yang Yue didn't think much about it, they all had something to do when they arrived in Shanghai, and they could act separately, so they left in a hurry without saying anything, and Yang Yuanzhao also went out soon after Yang Yue left.

Shanghai is a prosperous place, but Yang Yuanzhao is not familiar with Shanghai in this era, and he has been there several times in later generations, but more than a hundred years ago, he was unfamiliar.

Zheng Daniu followed Yang Yuanzhao, and after they turned around, they found two rickshaws, and Yang Yuanzhao ordered: "Go to the headquarters of Citibank!" ”

"Okay!" The rickshaw driver ran briskly, and the two cars shuttled through the alleys of Shanghai, and after a while, they arrived at the Bund in Shanghai.

The scene of the Bund already has the feeling of later generations, in addition to the lack of a few huge modern landmarks, many large buildings, have begun to take shape, yes, Citibank is also a big bank, if he wants to set up a headquarters, it must be on the Bund in Shanghai.

The United States followed behind Britain and France and entered China, with the help of the equalization of interests, because isolationism and late entry, there was no more sphere of influence, more, only the commercial aspect. Citibank, as one of the largest banks in old Shanghai, is located in a huge building on the Bund, which at this time does not have the beautiful scenery of the Bund in China in later generations.

Shanghai is like a strange combination, full of bizarre and adventurer's paradise, but a thought of the Demon Buddha, in this city full of lights, I don't know how many adventurers are buried, sin, not only under the night, above the night, but also contains countless killing opportunities.

Yang Yuanzhao was carrying a suitcase, which contained all the gold he had raised, the silver had already been turned into silver coins, and he stayed in Wuhan to pay for the cost of Blackstone, in order to achieve the goal of arriving in Shanghai, he needed a sum of money, and this start-up capital should be as much as possible, but unfortunately now he only has so much.

The reason why Citibank has become the first bank in Shanghai is that the service is first-rate, Yang Yuanzhao is obviously a rich young master, and he followed Zheng Daniu as a bodyguard, and he looked extraordinary, a person who looked like a lobby manager, walked up and greeted him warmly.

"Hello sir, I'm Hu Yue, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Hu Yue's attitude was very good, Yang Yuanzhao also nodded, and said, "I'll exchange some currency for huàn!" ”

"Our Citibank can accept most of the world's currencies, gold, silver, antiques, etc., I don't know what you want to exchange!"

"Gold!"

After Hu Yue listened, her face was happy, compared with silver, gold is more favored by Citibank, Hu Yue hurriedly led Zheng Daniu and Yang Yuanzhao into a small reception room, and then asked: "I don't know how much gold do you want to exchange for huàn?" ”

"It's all here!" Yang Yuanzhao opened the small box, inside the box, there were some big yellow croakers lying flat, golden brilliance, dazzling, Hu Yue carefully checked it, as a senior gold and silver identification expert, he was very sure that this color was first-class, it should be the official gold flowing out of the household department of the Qing Dynasty.

"Our price is ...... right now"

Before Hu Yue finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao said coldly: "I don't care about the price, you just have to tell me, how much money can be exchanged!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao was so straightforward, which made Hu Yue a little surprised, sure enough, it was everyone's young master, who was as arrogant as a cloud, Hu Yue didn't say anything, calculated a little, and said affirmatively: "A little more than 5,000 pounds!" ”

Before coming, Yang Yuanzhao had a little understanding of the comparison between the pound and gold, the price was fair, even a little more, Yang Yuanzhao nodded, Hu Yue immediately began to go through the procedures, it only took more than 20 minutes, with the help of Hu Yue, all the gold was deposited into Citibank, and instead of it, it was a check for 5,000 pounds, and some odd dollars, after he finished this qiē, he walked out of the bank.

Gold can be used as money in most places, but before it is used, it must always be exchanged for money, just like Baotou, gold can not buy things directly, you must go to the silver building or money bank, exchange it into silver dollars, and then you can use it.

The pound is different, not only the current international currency, any bank or foreign bank, can be spent directly, the most important thing is the 5,000 pound check, in this era, it can definitely be touching.

Out of the bank, walking all the way, wandering all the way, Yang Yuanzhao has a strong purpose, he has been looking at the signboard next to him, finally, he saw a row of bars, Yang Yuanzhao's face showed a smile, stopped, turned around and said: "Zheng Daniu, I'll go shopping by myself, or you go back first!" ”

"Young Master Yang, my mission is to ensure your safety!" Zheng Daniu said solemnly.

Yang Yuanzhao smiled bitterly, the next thing, it is inconvenient for Zheng Daniu, to be precise, the Yang family knows, starting from Baotou all the way, Yang Yuanzhao knows Zheng Daniu's temper very well, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, let's go back!" ”

Back in the inn, Yang Yuanzhao saw Yang Yue, who had just come back, and Yang Yue said excitedly: "Yang Yuanzhao, I have done the work, the fertilizers and seeds are ready-made, at most 3 days, you can start shipping!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao frowned and said, "I haven't done it yet, by the way, Yang Yue, in the next few days, I don't need Zheng Daniu to follow me!" ”

"But Yuan Zhao, Shanghai is not safe!" Yang Yue hesitated.

"I know Shanghai is not safe, and I don't go deep into it, and besides, I'm not a vegetarian!" Yang Yuanzhao compared his fists, patted his waist again, and said, "Don't leave the scope of the concession, there is still it!" ”

Yang Yue knew that Yang Yuanzhao had a pistol on his body, besides, Yang Yuanzhao's physical condition was really excellent, compared to strength, Zheng Daniu may not be his opponent, Shanghai is chaotic, in the concession area, but it is relatively safe, the surface kung fu of the great powers, it still has to be done, Yang Yuanzhao came to Shanghai for the first time, and he did not have a grudge with anyone, he must be on the way, it is safe, unless he is targeted.

Yang Yue agreed to Yang Yuanzhao's request, Yang Yuanzhao was very happy, and when he went down that day, he left the inn and went to the area where he went up.

Yang Yuanzhao's goal is the major bars in the concession, not the kind of bars and western restaurants in the upper class, but all over the concession, in the face of sailors and vagabonds, the development of bars, in 1908, the late Qing Dynasty, a lot of things can be bypassed, more things can not be bypassed, a foreign bank of the deposit, it has become an inevitable choice, Yang Yuanzhao's purpose to come to Shanghai, in addition to, they have super-national treatment everywhere, but the only exception, I am afraid is Shanghai.

Shanghai is a paradise for oriental adventurers, many foreigners, from Europe or the United States, rushed to China, there are indeed a lot, and finally succeeded, in the East harvested absolute wealth, but more of them did not adapt to the difference between the two countries, they either lost all their capital, gloomy return to China, or simply did not even have the travel expenses, trapped in Shanghai, just rely on odd jobs, even speculation and crime to live.

The place where these people often stayed, in the bars of the concession, was full of broken peasants, craftsmen, and even bankrupts from Europe.

They get drunk in the bar, or wait for the opportunity to come, in short, there is a miasma, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons.
