Episode 193 Arrange the aftermath
Episode 193 Arrange the aftermath
Xiang Xiaoqiang took Xiuxiu and Wu Yanbin to the train station, and according to what he said, he found all ten boxes one after another.
The three of them opened the box separately and gradually became dazzled. Wu Yanbin was a poor junior officer, his face was pale with excitement at the moment, and his whole body trembled. Xiuxiu is already Mrs. Kuo, but she is also dazzled by the rare treasures in the boxes. For the two of them, those porcelain, calligraphy and paintings were better, but when Wu Yanbin saw the whole box of colorful large bonds, and Xiuxiu saw the whole box of dazzling Western-style jewelry, diamonds, and gemstones, both of them had difficulty breathing, and they couldn't take their eyes off it anymore.
Unlike the two of them, Xiang Xiaoqiang is now looking at these things, and for some reason, those consciences and sense of justice in his heart are rushing out unknowingly. During the Battle of Pukou, he once opened the safe outside the small building at the sticky pole, and solemnly refused to share it with his subordinates...... And in the Pirate Village of Malacca, it is also righteous to return those belongings to the families of the victims...... Now, somehow all of this has popped up.
Is it true that I was a different person at that time and my current self? Or was there too little possessions in front of me at that time to be too much of an interest to be aroused?
Xiang Xiaoqiang's hand trembled, took out a cigarette and lit it, hoping to make a correct judgment.
- Thinking about this ink-greedy plan by myself is almost seamless. The risks are small, but the rewards are huge. He even figured out how to make it legal to turn back so much wealth. But when it came to the moment, I saw these ten boxes of priceless treasures, and I couldn't make up my mind.
"Xiuxiu," he asked Xiuxiu in a hoarse voice, "You say, let's ...... To take or not to take? ”
Xiuxiu raised her head, her face flushed, and she said:
"But it's up to the adults to decide. The adults said no...... We don't take it. ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart "chuckled", as if he was gently bumped by Xiuxiu. What a show.
He glanced at Wu Yanbin again. Wu Yanbin was stunned for a moment, immediately lowered his head, and said:
"The subordinates are also ...... But by the orders of adults! ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu is the one with the lowest background and the poorest family among his several confidants. The second is the autumn water. Although her family is wealthy, she is just a gangster lady, which cannot be compared with the other three. If he is gone, Zhu Yourong, Zheng Yuxuan, and Fourteen Gege can be said to have nothing to lose except for emotional scars. They are still noble, they are still rich, and their status is still as safe as Mount Tai.
But Xiuxiu, she will lose everything. There is also Qiu Yu, who will be reduced to a "gangster lady" again. The People's Guard Corps either fell apart or was co-opted by other forces. What will happen to Qiu Yu and Xiu Xiu? Can you still stay in the headquarters? Fourteen Gege didn't seem to have any reason to care for them. Besides, I'm afraid that even Fourteen Gege himself will not be able to stay in the People's Guard...... Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu, with their military ranks, I am afraid that they will either be a small clerk at the bottom of the headquarters and be called around all day long, or they will return to the submarine and deal with the Japanese fleet all day long......
Regardless of any possibility, Xiang Xiaoqiang could not accept it.
After they left, they were the two weakest. They must be left with sufficient means to protect themselves. That is – wealth. If the Ming Dynasty succeeds in moving towards a true constitutionalism in the future, power cannot override wealth, then sufficient wealth is sufficient. If the Ming Dynasty were to reverse in the future, at least with enough wealth, they could leave calmly, go wherever they wanted, and live comfortably there.
……
When he was on Chang'an Street, Qiu Yu gently said to Xiaoqiang that he wanted to have a child, and now the voice echoed in his mind. Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart was sour, and he was willing to do anything for them. I will leave after more than three years, and I can't leave them to my children, I must leave them with a wealth that is enough to be proud of Fourteen Gege and Zheng Yuxuan.
In the past, I always focused on the Northern Expedition and chasing the empress, and I always felt that the mineral map could not run away in my mind, and I was not in a hurry to make money. Now that it has been more than a year, my net worth is less than 10 million! Even if you concentrate on mining and making money from now on, how much can you make in the remaining three years? Million? Million? Million? That's the scale. Moreover, it is necessary to score evenly among the five ladies. Qiu Yu and Xiu Xiu can only get one-fifth each.
And the ten boxes at the moment, any one of them is worth so much money. As long as you can easily leave one now, store it in the safe of an overseas bank, and leave the key and password to Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu...... Then these two poor girls, even if each person's future wealth is not as good as fourteen grids, at least it will not be lower than Zheng Yuxuan.
Of course, there is a better way, which is to simply draw the entire mineral map at once and leave it for them. This is an inexhaustible treasure map.
However, there is only one treasure map, and Qiu Yun and Xiuxiu are two people. Xiang Xiaoqiang did not underestimate the power of such a huge amount of wealth. It cannot be divided all at once like money, but will continue to emit strong allure and destructive power, magnifying people's greed infinitely until all family and friendship are destroyed.
Autumn and Xiuxiu...... Although they have a good relationship now, it is impossible for them to live together for a long time after they leave. After all, they will marry each other, and have their own children. By that time...... Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't want to see that kind of outcome.
Besides, if you want to develop these minerals, you must face the strong suspicion, jealousy, and even covetousness of Zhu Yourong, Zheng Yuxuan, Fourteen Gege, as well as the cabinet, the Zheng family, and other parties in the Ming Dynasty. And they are not as strong as Xiaoqiang is now, enough to protect their power and status.
Thinking about it to Xiaoqiang, he would rather give them enough wealth at one time. Even if the situation in Daming changes in the future, they can't stay any longer, they can stay out of it and live anywhere in the world as they like.
……
So, even if you return to the original world and become a fart again, even if you encounter setbacks in your career and encounter things that don't go your way, think about another time and space, there are five confidants who once loved you, and they are now living rich and happy lives after the initial grief...... Then, in my life, as long as I think about it, I will be very happy.
……
Xiang Xiaoqiang adjusted his sad mood, took a deep breath, and said with a smile:
"Come, let's take an inventory and see which box to take."
As soon as these words came out, Xiuxiu and Wu Yanbin suddenly showed joy and immediately began to count.
Three boxes are large bonds, two are porcelain, three are calligraphy and paintings, one is jade, and one is jewelry and gemstones.
Porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade, none of the three people present were connoisseurs, and they couldn't estimate how much it was worth. As for jewelry and diamonds, Qiu Yu still knows a little, but Xiuxiu has been poor since she was a child, and she didn't come into contact with some jewelry until she married herself. I like it, I like it, but I'm still a layman.
On the contrary, the three boxes of large bonds are clearly marked, and the value of each one is clearly printed on it.
All three boxes are bearer bonds issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. Each denomination is $5,000, and 100 sheets are bundled in a stack of strips of paper, the size of a book. Ten stacks were stacked, and each suitcase contained six stacks, or 30 million dollars.
Now the U.S. dollar and Mingyang are pegged to gold, and the exchange rate of the two is constant, 1:1.43 all year round. Xiuxiu did the math in her heart, and the bonds in each box were converted into 42.9 million yuan.
As soon as they figured it out, the three of them seemed to be frightened by such a large number.
More than 42 million is equal to the total income of Xiang Xiaoqiang's Earl Annuity for more than 80 years. And even if it relies on the mining plan, in the next three years, Xiang Xiaoqiang may not be confident that he will get more than 40 million. Such a box is worth the existing wealth of fourteen grids.
Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly thought about it and said:
"Okay, let's just grab a box of bonds. Don't move anything else. ”
Xiuxiu didn't speak, but Wu Yanbin said unsatisfactorily:
"My lord, no one knows anyway, why don't you take a little more?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang glared at him and said:
"Nonsense! Do you really think you can take as much as you want? These three boxes are more than 100 million, which is a lot of money for a country! Let's not talk about taking more 'boxes', even if we take one more box, the movement is too big, and it won't end well! For example, if you put ten banknotes here, and you take one of them, it may not be conspicuous, and no one will check it. Do you try three in a row? …… You can't be too greedy when you do things, you have to know that you will accept it when you see it. ”
He paused, glanced at Xiuxiu again, and continued:
"Mu Hu fled, if he only brought some antique jewelry that was difficult to realize, and he didn't bring some cash, it would be unreasonable. These large bonds are cash and can be cashed out quickly all over the world...... So we take one box at most, at least let people know that Mu Hu still brought two boxes of bonds. …… We won't take these porcelain calligraphy and paintings, and we will hand them over without moving. Mu Hu was all taken out of the palace, and these things were recorded in the palace, and all of them could be found...... In the future, we will not be able to monetize. Bearer bonds are different, and whoever holds them is theirs. ”
There is actually another reason why I don't take art. Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that Zhu Yourong had always been very fond of these things that represented the brilliant crystallization of Chinese civilization. In the eyes of my own people, these works of art are nothing more than valuable things. In Zhu Yourong's eyes, these are the precious heritage of the nation she loves. Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't bear to auction off these things, making it possible for them to lose abroad. He was even more reluctant to see Zhu Yourong unhappy because he lacked so many fine products when he took over the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Xiuxiu said worriedly:
"Your Excellency...... Although the money is not marked, will it never be seen? Metropolitan Procuratorate......"
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:
"That's why I said that the property that Princess Liaoyang retrieved from Europe last time was very useful, at least it could be used to launder money. This time we used it. Mixing these bonds with her property, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has a great ability, and it cannot prove that the 40 million was not brought back from Europe. After a while, as soon as I married her home, the 40 million was completely whitewashed. Oh, which of the money between our little couple belongs to the husband and which belongs to the wife, you have to investigate the! ”
When Xiuxiu heard him say this, she just nodded slightly, and said "yes". But looking at her expression, it clearly revealed her distrust of Fourteen Gege.
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and patted Wu Yanbin's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Yan Bin, follow me and do a good job. When this matter passes, you and Hu Jiong will be three million each. Now the money is with me first, but I'll put that away. For me, three million can't buy a loyal henchman. But there is a condition, you can't move the money for a few years after you get it, and you will keep a low profile for me before you become famous, and don't provoke the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Do you understand? ”
Wu Yanbin was overjoyed, he didn't expect that adults could be so generous and throw out millions at once. He suddenly stood upright, choked up excitedly:
"My subordinates understand! The subordinates are broken bones, and it is difficult to repay the kindness of adults! ”
Xiuxiu took a deep breath, bit her lip, and tried her best to hide the painful expression on her face—six million! Just let the family get out easily.
But...... For the sake of long-term security, this money is absolutely necessary.
……
Xiang Xiaoqiang and the other three took a suitcase of bonds and quietly slipped back to Beijing in a car. When he came to his temporary headquarters, the first thing he did was to call the top office of the Imperial Bank and send a signal to Hu Jiong to "do it". Then the second thing is to send people to the train station to "find" the remaining nine chests of treasure.
As soon as he put down the phone, Qiu Yun ran over nervously and whispered:
"Xiaoqiang, where have you been for the past half a day? Let me tell you, there is the whereabouts of Guangwu......"
"What!" Xiang Xiaoqiang grabbed her shoulders, glared and asked, "Where is he, isn't it Moscow?" ”
Qiu Yu shook his head:
"It's not...... It's at sea. ”
"At sea? Where? ”
秋湫 says:
"Two hundred nautical miles east of the Ryukyus, a large seaplane was spotted in the western Pacific Ocean, which appeared to have been discarded and was floating with the waves."
"It's broken!" Xiuxiu blurted out.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her. Xiuxiu walked quickly to a large map, on which Qiu Yu had already marked the location where the plane was found.
Xiuxiu and Qiuyun one held a compass and the other held a triangle, and the two gestured a few times, Xiuxiu said:
"My lord, we have all been misled. Guangwu did not go to the USSR! He took off from Changping Airport on an amphibious plane! He first flew to the high seas and landed, then met with the agreed ship, and then got on the ship......"
Xiang Xiaoqiang also understood:
Then the whole world could go wherever he wanted! Alas! We had previously stuck only with the range of the plane, and inferred that he could only go to the Soviet Union...... Now it seems that as long as he has a boat on it, he can go to South America if he wants! ”
Qiuyu and Xiuxiu both looked at him with a frown, and nodded at the same time.
