Hong Kong Comprehensive: Longevity from Uncle Nine

Chapter 52 Arriving in the International Settlement
In front of the gate of the Earth Temple, Ling Yunzi replied: "Fellow Daoist, it turns out that you have a lot of contacts in the underworld."

Zhang Sheng naturally pushed the matter to Mao Shan, and said, "Our Mao Shan is quite popular in the underworld."

Zhang Sheng took back his seven-star bronze sword, saluted Ling Yunzi, and said, "Fellow Daoist, the matter has been settled, so I'll go back to Nanchang City first."

Ling Yunzi smiled and said: "No wonder the master said that there are people outside of people, and there is heaven beyond the sky. Fellow Daoist's ability is above the poor. It is a blessing to meet you today. I don't know where you live in Nanchang? Let's meet again See."

Zhang Sheng waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving Nanchang tomorrow. The purpose of this trip is to go to Shanghai to fight against the Jiuju faction."

Ling Yunzi nodded and said: "That's how it is. Fellow Daoists have great ambitions, and the poor Taoist admires them. You can go first, and the poor Taoist can go back and ask the master before going."

Zhang Sheng and Ling Yunzi exchanged a few words, and then they parted. Ling Yunzi returned to the Earth Temple, and Zhang Sheng returned to Nanchang City.

Early the next morning, Zhang Sheng left Nanchang, then traveled eastward along the Yangtze River, and arrived in Shanghai on the day of the Spring Festival.

Shanghai is already an international metropolis. After all, there are concessions in the city, coupled with the geographical location, it is already very fashionable here.

But in another month, I'm afraid this place will become a battlefield.

Zhang Sheng who entered Shanghai was wearing a decent suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a briefcase in his hand, which actually contained his Qiankun bag.

But judging from Zhang Sheng's current attire, he is an elite.

This time he plans to live in the North District of the Public Concession. There are two major concessions in the Shanghai jurisdiction. The first is the Shanghai Public Concession and the other is the French Concession.

The public concession has four districts, namely the East District, North District, Central District and West District.The French Concession includes the French Concession and the New French Concession.

Of course, the northern part of the public concession is actually the American Concession, and the central part is the British Concession.

Zhang Sheng wanted to find Jiujuyi faction and Onmyoji in Hongkou in the North District, so he got off at the North Railway Station of the Songhu Railway.

Because Japanese pirates concentrated in Hongkou, Hongkou is also known as the Japanese Concession by the people, but the official does not recognize it, and it belongs to the American Concession.

Because the security of this concession is in the charge of the Americans.

Zhang Sheng chose to live in this area.

All he has to do now is to save a sum of money first and get his identity up.

In this way, when dealing with the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates have to fear his identity, and may think that he is an overseas Chinese and fearful.

He left the train station and took a rickshaw to Jiujiang Road, where Citibank was at No. 41-45.

He went to a nearby department store, bought a briefcase and a briefcase, and went to a small hotel for an hourly stay.

In the room, he took out a hundred large yellow croakers from the Qiankun bag and put them in the briefcase.

Big and small yellow croakers are actually big and small gold bars. According to the old scale, the big gold bars weigh 10 taels, while the small gold bars weigh 1 taels.

Converted into today's weight unit, the large yellow croaker is about 312.5 grams, while the small yellow croaker is 31.25 grams.

A small yellow croaker can be exchanged for thirty to forty ocean coins.

In other words, the one hundred large yellow croakers in Zhang Sheng's hands are worth [-] to [-] oceans.

An ounce of gold is about 16 to 17 dollars, a pound is about 4 dollars, and 2.4 silver dollars are exchanged for one dollar.

In other words, if the money is deposited in Citibank, Zhang Sheng has almost 8000 US dollars.

At this time, the average annual salary of an American was less than [-] U.S. dollars, which shows that this money is already a huge sum.

With this money, he can rent a flat in the foreign concession, and he plans to buy a flat on Baole'an Road, which is outside the HK district, to live in.

As for buying a house, there is no need. Although it is said that investing in real estate here to make money, it is not necessary for him.

Zhang Sheng picked up two briefcases, and the Qiankun bag could just fit into the briefcase.

In this way, he came to Citibank.

Ah San at the door took a look. Seeing that he was wearing a suit and tie, gold-rimmed glasses, and a briefcase, Ah San thought that he must be a big user.

He quickly and courteously opened the door for Zhang Sheng to walk in.

Zhang Sheng smiled and nodded, then walked to the window.

The beauty inside thought Zhang Sheng was a pirate, so she said, "Private horse race."

Zhang Sheng frowned slightly and said, "I'm not a pirate."

The beauty saw that she was Chinese, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, but please forgive me for my recklessness, sir."

Zhang Sheng didn't make things difficult for her, and said directly: "I want to deposit one hundred large gold bars with you."

The female employee was surprised by this sentence, her eyes widened unconsciously, and her small mouth opened into the shape of oh.

Fortunately, she has excellent professional quality, so she reacted quickly, and said quickly: "Please wait a moment, sir. I have to talk to the manager about this matter."

Soon, a Caucasian manager hurried over, and he said excitedly in English: "Dear Sir, hello, I am Steve the manager, welcome to Citibank, it is a wise choice to deposit money in our bank. "

The female employee on the side quickly translated for Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng naturally understood, he nodded slightly and said, "Manager Steve, I only have one condition for saving money here.

That is, I give you a budget of a thousand dollars, and you buy me a nice Ford, don't fool me with a Model T, and you get paid for the extra money. "

Manager Steve said embarrassingly: "Sir, this is impossible. You should know that even this Model T car costs more than 2000 oceans, which is about [-] in conversion. It is definitely not the price for other cars."

Zhang Sheng sneered, picked up the box and left immediately.He didn't believe a word of Steve's words.

A Model T car that is clearly less than 2000 US dollars actually costs more than [-] oceans, which is several times higher.

A thousand dollars is enough to buy the best car, and with the extra money, Steve can make at least a hundred dollars.

Seeing that Zhang Sheng was about to leave, Steve quickly stepped forward to hold Zhang Sheng and said, "Mr. Zhang, we can discuss things."

Zhang Sheng said arrogantly: "Manager Steve, I hope you don't waste my time anymore, you and I know what kind of car this money can buy.

Moreover, I have deposited a large sum of money with you. This is a performance, a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Do you want to screw it up because of your own greed? "

Steve was taken aback by Zhang Sheng, he quickly laughed and said, "One thousand dollars, no problem!"

Under Steve's hospitality, Zhang Sheng deposited all one hundred gold bars in Citibank.

Then Zhang Sheng left with the one thousand dollars exchanged.Before leaving, he tipped Na Ah San one dollar, while the female employee was tipped ten dollars, which made the beauty want to ask him out for dinner, but unfortunately he still had work to do.

Excluding the one thousand dollars for the car in his bank account, his account balance is more than 6000.

Now he is going to rent a room on Baole'an Road, and plans to deposit the last two hundred gold bars in a few days.
