1949 I am from the future

()【6】large yellow croaker

It is said that Xiaoqiang ate very comfortably last night, the authentic old hen soup was full of fragrance, and it did not need any flavoring, pure and natural deliciousness, it was really enjoyable.I drove the little bread to the side of Qianmen Street and stopped, put down the seat, wrapped up the down coat tightly and the cat fell asleep in the cab.

He opened his eyes in a daze, the pure white sunlight shot down from his head, making the exposed parts of Xiaoqiang's body slightly hot, the cab was warm, and the voice of talking came from his ears, got up and took a look, okay? , more than a dozen adults and children looked around the car, chattering, and a few bold ones lay directly on the glass around the car and looked in, with curious expressions on their faces.Xiaoqiang, the big ass, was very proud, "Hey, I haven't seen it before, advanced, come on, take your time, I still have business to do. Xiaoqiang pushed the door and got off the car, stretched his waist, tidied up the quilt Sleeping twisted clothes. At this time, most of the onlookers politely dispersed, only a few children were still circling the car curiously. The van has not been invented in this year, and it looks like a greatly reduced version of a tram. Things are really strange in the eyes of people these days.

Xiaoqiang looked down at his watch, it was already past nine o'clock, and he slept really hard for this blood-enriching sleep, almost twelve hours in total.There was the sound of trams jingling and approaching, and a red tram was coming. The driver in the cab didn't look ahead at all, but stared at Xiaoqiang's FAW Jiabao. Secretly complained: "You stupid hat, look at the front carefully, if you hit someone, are you responsible or not!" Looking carefully, the passengers in the whole car were pointing at Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang felt so comfortable, I just felt that every bone in my body was lighter by two taels.Asking passers-by where the Hendry clock is, Xiaoqiang got in the car and drove straight over.

Parked the car at the gate of Hengdeli Clock, took off his down coat and put it on the back seat of the car, Xiaoqiang walked into the store.This Hendry is much more spacious than the previous Delong Firm. More than a dozen counters are arranged in a concave shape facing the wide store door. A yard of the counters are all glass, and there are various watches, Omega , Longines, Plum Blossom, Rome, Rolex are all available, and there are some watches that Xiaoqiang can’t name. The whole shop is decorated in a European style, with carved wooden panels on the walls, and a wooden floor with mosaic patterns under your feet. It is covered with a bed, a crystal chandelier is hung on the head, and there is a VIP reception room at the side door next to it. The salesperson is dressed in Western style, and the hair comb is shiny.When the receptionist in suits and leather shoes saw Xiaoqiang entering the door, he stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Welcome, sir, are you here to buy a watch?"

"I'm here to discuss business, please invite your boss out." Xiao Qiang said sharply.

To say that the receptionist is also a clever master, I saw Xiaoqiang driving that unknown silver "luxury car" from afar, wearing a suit made of silky satin-like fabric (chemical fiber), which was very stylish.Not to mention anything else, it was the first time he had seen this satin suit without a single pleat.So he immediately invited Xiaoqiang into the VIP reception room next to him, and went to call the manager himself.A clerk brought a cup of green tea, Xiaoqiang sat on the sofa, stepped on the carpet and raised his legs, trying to make himself appear more experienced.

After a while, a middle-aged fat man in a long robe greeted him, he cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you are here. I feel disrespectful, disrespectful, and disrespectful. I don't know what kind of business you can do business with, sir?"

Xiaoqiang stood up and bowed his hands in return, waiting for the host and guest to be seated, he said, "I'm Cao Xiaoqiang, I don't know the boss's name?"

"My surname is Qian, and my name is Shulin."

"Manager Qian, I'm in the watch trade, and I'm here today to sell my imported watches to your store."

"Sir, did you bring samples?" Qian Shulin asked.

"The sample is on the car outside, please send a clerk to fetch it with me, Mr. Qian."

So Qian Shulin sent the receptionist to follow Xiaoqiang to move in the cartons that had been prepared in various styles.Xiaoqiang opened the box, took out fifteen styles and put them in a box on the mahogany coffee table, "Boss Qian, please have a look."

Qian Shulin opened the watch boxes of each style one by one, and he was more and more amazed as he looked at them. He had been making watches all his life, and he had never seen any style, but the styles in front of him made him speechless for a moment. Features, some are hollowed out case, revealing the metal gear movement inside, some are black plated, red plated or even green plated dial, even the watch chain has its own characteristics, with endless patterns.Qian Shulin said to the equally astonished receptionist who was standing aside: "Go and invite Master Cheng." Then he turned to Xiaoqiang and said, "Master Cheng is the watchmaker in my shop, I asked him to help me palm my eyes. "

"But please don't mind." Xiaoqiang smiled slightly.

"It's a good watch. It's really exquisite in workmanship, and its style has never been seen before." Later, Master Cheng was a smart man, and after looking at it in amazement for a long time, he only said this sentence.

After hearing Master Cheng's words, Qian Shulin had a clue in his heart, and said, "Master Cheng, go and do your work."

After a moment of silence, Qian Shulin said, "I don't know what the price of these watches, sir?"

"I sell this watch in packs, 150 pieces per pack, including ten of each of these fifteen styles, and the price is 3 yuan per pack, and the payment is based on 4.5 yuan per gram of gold."

Qian Shulin thought, "Working on this style, the price is not expensive. I discounted it at 4.5 yuan per gram of gold, and I even reduced the price by [-]%." It’s not a problem at all, especially for well-connected businessmen. Xiaoqiang suffered another hidden loss here.)

"Excuse me, how many packages does Mr. Cao have?"

"Twenty packs."

"If I win all of them, can I get a discount?"

"Boss Qian, you know that the import trade, especially clocks and watches, is a high-end luxury item. The country will soon increase tariffs. It is absolutely impossible to buy goods at this price. .” Cao Xiaoqiang tapped Qian Shulin relying on his foresight.

Qian Shulin was startled, and thought that Cao Xiaoqiang was so powerful, and what he said was really reasonable. The customs of the former Republic of China were controlled by foreign countries for 70 years, until the new China took them back.At that time, the tariff on luxury goods was not high, because it was related to the interests of the big powers, coupled with the government’s corruption, and the big traders all had their own ways. The real tariff was pitifully low. Now the Puhai head office has already It is reported that the government of New China is very clean and honest, and there is no crooked way to do it. The new tariffs are paid in real terms, and the head office judges that it may increase in the future depending on the policy.

"Boss Cao, sit down for a while. The amount is huge. I need to call the head office."

"Boss Qian, please go ahead." Xiaoqiang smiled slightly and picked up the teacup.

After a while, Qian Shulin went back into the room with a smile on his face, bowed his hands to Xiaoqiang, and said, "Boss Cao, the head office has agreed to a deal."

Cao Xiaoqiang said excitedly and proudly: "Then pay the money and deliver the goods."

"Mr. Cao, please wait a moment. What you want is gold. I'm going to the bank to make an exchange. You can drink tea slowly here. Quanjude is noon today. I'll be the host. Let's talk while eating." Qian Shulin smiled After entering the store. (Note: most of the bei jing shops in this period were in the form of a store in the front and a factory in the back, and a warehouse in the back. Most of the staff came in and out of the store through the back door.)

While waiting, Cao Xiaoqiang thought. Historically, in 1952, a public-private partnership would have to take place.At that time, the shops will be public-private partnerships, and the banks will be merged into banks.If I want to continue reselling to make money, I have to face Zheng Fu directly. Right now, I can only take one step at a time. Judging from the current speed of capital accumulation, I can quickly earn enough money, and then I can trade advanced equipment and The technical way to become a purchaser of zheng fu.Realize your own ideal of becoming a strong country and getting rich.

After drinking a cup of tea, the attendant refilled it for Xiaoqiang. When the cup was almost dry, Qian Shulin came out from the back of the shop with a look on his face and said, "Mr. Cao, the matter is done, please move Step back to the hall."

Going to the back hall and Qian Shulin to count the gold, Xiaoqiang was quite surprised. He saw four small wooden boxes that were unlocked, filled with large yellow croakers. You must know that there were twelve large yellow croakers of 312.5 grams in the Republic of China. This is the prevailing standard, and rich families usually save a few of these gold bars as bottom money.But later gold was expensive and silver was cheap (the legal currency of the Republic of China was the silver standard, and the earliest one-yuan legal currency was priced according to a silver dollar), and ordinary people also wanted to buy gold, and the "big yellow croaker" was obviously too expensive to afford.Therefore, the gold shop cast 1 tael of small gold bars (today's 31.25 grams), commonly known as small yellow croakers.

Today is the first time in Cao Xiaoqiang's life to see the true face of the big yellow croaker. At the same time, he also sighs that there is so much gold in the folk these days, and the boss of this money is also very powerful. With the effort of two cups of tea, he can make such a box out of his hand and the bank. .

"Boss Cao, here are 426 large yellow croakers, plus 6 small yellow croakers, a fraction of 93 cents."

After a long time of counting, Cao Xiaoqiang said: "Okay, this is the number. Hengdeli is a well-known and time-honored brand. Come out with me to move the goods."

So Xiaoqiang took Boss Qian and ordered the staff to move the remaining three boxes of watches into the back hall of the store.Then put the change into the pocket, fasten the lock tabs of the four wooden boxes and lock them, and with the help of Boss Qian and a confidant he summoned from the back hall, he hugged the boxes full of gold and stuffed them one by one. Get under the first row of seats behind the cab of the car.Qian Shulin also understood when he declined Boss Qian's meal. After all, no one was worried that the carload of gold bars would not be watched, so he didn't insist.He just repeatedly stated that the next time Cao Xiaoqiang has goods, he must sell them to Hengdeli, and next time he must let him do his best as a landlord.

Xiaoqiang bid farewell to Qian Shulin, and drove to the previous crossing point in the southern suburbs of the capital.

Xiaoqiang drove all the way, feeling hot all over his body, almost fainted from happiness, thinking about how much he had earned this time, and estimated that there were more than 4000 million yuan in his heart!Fortunately, the road in old Beijing is neither traffic jam nor difficult to identify, all the way smoothly to the ground, followed the rut marks last night and drove into the ground again. In the distance, the wheat has been harvested and there is no farm work to do, and no one can be seen around. Seeing this, Xiaoqiang immediately pricks his finger and presses on the car, blood sacrifice crossing.
