Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......

Neither the New Year nor the festival, the direction of the rich temple suddenly shook the sky, firecrackers rang out, in addition to watching the play, watching the movie almost no entertainment, people invariably rushed to the rich temple, wondering why it was so lively.

There were so many people that the roads were suddenly crowded.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, and I only heard the people in front of me shouting excitedly: "The tide is coming!" ”

"Lion dance, the lion dance team of the Jingwu Guild Hall!"

After the end of World War II, the Chaozhou Gang set up this group to help the unemployed find jobs and solve the medical expenses for the poor.

Later, more and more members were involved, and everyone jointly purchased musical instruments, used their spare time to accompany and entertain, and cultivated a large-scale music team in a few years. Due to the huge lineup, it always takes the lead, and the Chinese living on the embankment know that the "tide group" is coming when they hear the sound of gongs and drums from afar, so it is crowded, so it is not lively.

A Chaoqiao tiptoed and shouted: "Old Gu, what kind of happy event?" ”

"The Li family's eldest and youngest are on the rise, glorifying their ancestors, and they are coming back today to reward the gods, the big guys are all on the sidelines, and the Lions are coming!"

Several groups of lions danced very domineeringly in the increasingly fierce drum beats, and people leaned over like a tide, only to see a young man with a flat head and a white shirt, who looked very energetic, surrounded by a group of boys and several Vietnamese soldiers, followed the lion team while showing the lively children Fa Li City (red envelopes).

"Don't rob, don't squeeze, everyone has a share, it's yours, you have to study hard."

"Mingdao Elementary School, I am an alumnus, take it well, and listen to Mr."

……

The news spread too fast, there were too many children to send it alone, Professor Anderson was infected by such a warm atmosphere, and helped with Ma Anyi, Wu Changming and other embankment leaders. The children were elated, and the adults were very curious, and whispered again with envy.

"Uncle, which Li family?"

"There can be a few Li families on the embankment, Brother Guanyun, the eldest son of Brother Guanyun's family."

"Brother Guanyun is not being ...... Forced to go? ”

"What do you know?"

A well-informed person glanced at the Pingchuan policeman who was following behind the "tide group", and said mysteriously: "I know what it means to be in the east of the river in the thirty years and the west in the west of the river, this is it!" Li Gongzi is not what he used to be, he went to the United States and came back to become a member of the government, or is he an adviser to a department in the United States, as old as a minister, or Qiyuan can be polite to him? ”

"Vietnamese officer?"

"The county officials are not as good as the current management, is it useful to be an official of the national government on the embankment?"

"That's right."

"Oh, we embankment hipsters have never had such a big official!"

"That's why I want to come back to reward God."

Young Master Li didn't come to raise funds, he simply went back to the embankment to parade through the streets, and walked all the way to distribute red envelopes under the support of the lion dance team, gong and drum team, escort team and Pingchuan police.

When passing through the Suicheng Hall, the Erfu Hall, the Chongzheng Hall, the Qiongfu Hall and the Mingxiang Hall, I made a special stop, went in to visit the deacons of various gangs, and by the way, I paid homage to the gods and ancestors of the Chinese people on the embankment, such as the Queen of Heaven, the Jade Emperor, Guanyin Niangniang, Bao Gong, Emperor Wenchang, Bentou Gong, Fu Zhengshen, Chenghuang Ye, Monkey King, General Matou and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and left a lot of incense money.

It's exaggerated, it's excessive, it's not low-key.

If in the afterlife, this is the "villain's will", but in this era it is normal. If you don't return to your hometown, you should do it like this, and it should be so lively, which is very in line with the values of the Chinese people on the embankment.

In the eyes of some old people who are older, senior, and more conservative, this is similar to the champion of the middle champion, and they think that it is not formal enough and not beautiful enough, so they should wear red and green, ride on a tall horse, beat gongs and drums, and parade through the streets.

Li Weimin, the "glorious ancestor", didn't think about it at all, the reason why he did this was all to gain popularity and establish a "glorious image" of the young master's money, power and power, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of depositing the money in the young master's bank and buying the young master's funds, bonds or insurance comfortably.

In other words, it is an indispensable part of "legal fundraising".

Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, he squandered all the more than one million VND (piast) left by Liu Jiachang's sale of the shop before going to Vung To, leaving a deep impression on the Chinese people on the embankment of "rich and powerful", Li Weimin came to the Ngee Ann Association, walked into the council hall with the plaque of "Deacon Youke", and began the second step of "legal fundraising--- killing!

The chief and deputy gang leaders of the Five Gangs Hall are all human spirits, and Wu Tingyan is in danger, so they will not follow and mix.

None of them, including his uncle Ma Guoxuan, showed up, Li Weimin knew very well that they were all on the sidelines, and they would not easily stand in line, and they didn't invite any of them, but they just used the council hall to have a meeting with the sons and buddies who partnered to dump the Vietnamese dong.

Ma An was still unsatisfied, and as soon as he sat down, he smiled with a smile: "It's so enjoyable, I just saw several beautiful girls flattering each other, for the people, why don't we swim again?" ”

Young Master Guo thought so, nodded again and again: "I haven't traveled a few streets, just make up for it!" ”

They were eager to try, Li Weimin was ridiculed, patted his pocket and said with a smile: "If you want to travel the street, no problem, but all the money I brought has been distributed, and you want to travel to the street." ”

"What are you kidding, your big happy event, why should we send it?"

"Then don't swim, let's get down to business."

He not only became an American official, but also became a ministerial-level member of the new Vietnamese government, and even Ah Cheng's stinky boy turned into a captain officer of the Prime Minister's Guard. ”

Even the eldest brother Wu Jingchen showed an expression full of expectation, Li Weimin nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Everyone, I have good news and a bad news, in fact, it is not bad news, but it is a little different from expectations." The good news is that although the Saigon branch of the Bank of East Asia has not yet opened, the government business has already begun. President Henry and Jiahui will arrive tomorrow and will exchange $6 million from the government at the official rate of US$1 to VND35. ”

210 million VND for 6 million US dollars, Wu Chang Minh thought about it, and suddenly exclaimed: "This transaction alone, we will earn 2.3 million US dollars!" ”

Li Weimin smiled and confirmed: "Yes, and the Vietnamese dong in the account is just enough." The rest were all turned into tents, food, medicines, pots and spoons and other materials, all piled up in various warehouses, and the income should not be less than this after getting rid of them. In other words, we made nearly $5 million in just three months with $9.6 million. ”

There is a way to make money as a result of official and business collusion!

can raise his eyebrows in front of the old man for a while, Xu Hongxin was overjoyed, and was about to ask for bad news, Ma Anyi suddenly said: "For the people, making so much money at once, it is not appropriate to divide it according to the previous agreement." You contribute the most, how can you only get 12% commission, fifty-five accounts, I don't want any more. ”

Li Weimin only invested $50,000 in the principal of this business, which was less than a fraction of the total capital, so it was agreed in advance that in addition to the income due from the principal, he would take a 12% commission from the total profits in accordance with the practice of the embankment for nearly 100 years.

For other businesses, 12% is not a small amount.

But this is not any other business, not to mention that he has provided the inside information to make a lot of money, and he is the only one who can exchange the whole Thi Ti from the government for dollars at the official exchange rate, and no matter how many Vietnamese dong there are, the government will not change it.

He is now prosperous in official fortune, even the Pingchuan faction is polite to him, and the days of making a lot of money are behind, Wu Changming doesn't want to do a hammer deal, so he echoed thoughtfully: "In my opinion, five or five accounts are less, for the people, An Yi is right, you contribute the most, you should share the big share." ”

"yes, yes, 12% is too little!"

………

The people who can sit here are all human spirits, and they have said that they want to divide the account fifty-fifty, otherwise they will not treat them as brothers.

Of course, Li Weimin will not affect major matters because of this immediate interest, and said conclusively: "Everyone, don't fight. A convention is a convention, and you can draw as much as you should. If you fight again, you don't treat me as a brother. ”

"Why are you embarrassed to take such a big advantage for nothing?"

"If you have money, everyone earns it together, what's so embarrassing."

Li Weimin waved his hand, and then changed his words: "The bad news is that we can see this money but can't touch it, you know very well the economic situation in Vietnam, the economy has been in tatters for many years. Moreover, the Foreign Exchange Administration was the dispatching agency of Paris, and the exchange rate set was entirely for the purpose of the expeditionary force. In other words, the currency is grossly overvalued, and we see that, as we see it with the U.S. government.

More importantly, for the sake of its own interests, France has stubbornly controlled the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and the US government is powerless in this regard, and the new government of Premier Dim Diem will not take over until next year or even the year after that at the earliest. Therefore, before that, the U.S. government and the Yan government could not effectively intervene in the financial exchange rate. ”

At first, the investment was not much, but then the people's hearts were not enough to swallow the elephant, and when they saw that the Vietnamese dong had depreciated sharply, they increased their investment, the least of which was more than 100,000 US dollars.

"This money is not exchanged with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, but with the US Aid Management Mission, and the Americans are not fools, knowing that they have suffered a big loss, of course they have to put forward some additional conditions. For example, the U.S. dollars exchanged are only allowed to be imported into U.S. companies and settled at banks designated by the U.S. Aid Management Mission. ”

Wu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile: "As long as you can import goods, now everything is lacking, everything is rising, as long as there is goods, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell them, and you won't have to worry about not being able to collect the money." ”

"yes, that's not bad news."

"You know only one thing, but you don't know the other. In order to stabilize the financial sector and promote the economy, the new government will adjust its import and export policies, impose high tariffs on some non-essential consumer goods, and at the same time set up a strong customs anti-smuggling force to severely crack down on smuggling. In addition, the U.S. Aid Management Mission also has relevant restrictions on the use of this fund, and it is not that we can import whatever we want. ”
