《Spies of the Republic of C》Chapter 11 The Exchange of large sums
Advertisement
Gently moving the dishes aside, Ning Zhiheng steadied himself. Reached into the insides of the pottery urn.
Feeling that piece of metal texture, Ning Zhiheng's heart is ecstatic, this huge wealth finally arrived in his hand.
When he had removed the two great urns of gold ingots and placed them on the ground, he watched the piles of gold ingots glow in the light. Ning zhiheng felt as if his heart was about to burst.
His savings of half his previous life, combined with his subsequent collection of antiquities, were worth no more than a few million.
But the gold ingots were worth ten times as much as he had saved in half his life. The gap is so large that it can be seen that chance is so important to a person. The wealth excavated overnight is far more than the accumulation of half the world.
These gold ingots are of the same standard and were refined in the same batch. He took a gold ingot in his hand and caressed it carefully. At the bottom of the ingot was printed the words "Shi Liang" in traditional Chinese, but there was no period name engraved. It should have been smelted privately. The density of gold is very high, and holding it in the hand is unexpectedly pressing.
When collecting in previous lives, there are also gold artifacts. We still know the identification of gold. The color is red and yellow and the texture is soft.
There are about three hundred gold ingots here, and at least three thousand taels of gold. Three thousand taels of gold! This is a great asset in any era. Also enough Ning Zhiheng in this turbulent times rich worry-free life.
It took ning Zhiheng a long time to calm down. He prepared six boxes of cork, arranged the ingots neatly, and filled all six boxes.
Then he gently put the plates back into the urn. They were now of little value and would have been too cumbersome to take out. They might as well have been buried.
It took more than an hour to fill the soil back in and step it down. And then put the blue bricks back together. Then pour water over it, so that after a few days the traces of the excavation are not obvious.
He pays enough rent that the landlord won't bother him for a while. After such a month or two, even if someone found something different, it was already empty.
At this time is five o 'clock in the morning, Ning Zhiheng suddenly got such a large wealth, the spirit of excitement did not have the slightest sleepy. He gave himself a brief toilet, washed his face in cold water, and sobered up.
He then took off his military uniform, took out a suit and changed into a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. At this time, Ning Zhiheng is a well-mannered rich children.
In the dark, he loaded all six boxes into the jeep outside, locked the door, and drove around seven or eight blocks before stopping.
He would never come to the yard again. The door was locked, and the landlord would not dare open it.

Besides, the rent was paid in advance, and the landlord had nothing to lose. I don't think he's gonna mess with anything. By the time the landlord found out a few months later, things had changed.
A short drive away is a bank, namya Bank. The Southern Industrial Bank has a good reputation in nanjing, the capital. I heard he had a background in British power. Ning Zhiheng plans to choose the preferred bank, if the exchange is not smooth, or can not sell at once, then choose the standby bank.
I waited in the car until it was daylight and the bank opened. Ning Zhiheng drove the car to the bank. After getting out of the car, he stretched out his hand to signal the bank service personnel on guard at the door.
The two waiters saw Ning Zhiheng's style and knew that he was not an ordinary customer, so they rushed forward to greet him with a smile.
Ning Zhiheng did not say much, with two five yuan fiat tips, and then pointed to the car's six boxes.
That's less than half a month's salary for those two to get in tips so early in the morning! Le smiled. They were very discerning. It must have been the rich boy from the house who came to deposit his money and said, "Master, master!" "Kept Shouting.
The two men moved the box into the bank hall, which was not very crowded except for a few staff members.
Ning Zhiheng frowned and said, "Find a quiet place and call your manager to see me."
Both of them knew at once that they had felt the weight of the box when they lifted it, and that this was going to be a big deal.
They quickly moved the box to a beautifully decorated office next door. Please wait for ning Zhiheng and inform the manager to come.
The manager who got the news soon rushed over, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.
"My family name is Chen, Chen Kangshi. I'm a department manager at Nanye Bank, in charge of savings. I hear you have some important business to deal with?" "Said Chen Kangshi enthusiastically. He had been in the mall for many years, and had seen many people. The young man sitting on the sofa was erect, his eyes were quiet, and there was something unapproachable in his gentleness.
Ningzhiheng a faint smile, courtesy nod said: "Manager Chen, Lin Yifan, today is to want to convert some gold in the home into cash, do not know your south industry bank can eat?"
"Mr. Lin laughed, not to brag, South Asia Bank in the industry's position is well known, otherwise Mr. Would not have found our bank. How much do you intend to change?" Chen Kangshi listens to is to exchange gold, frown on pick, immediately excited up.
At a time when precious metals are so scarce in the world, why did the Nationalist government make up its mind last year to reform its currency and issue legal tender? Because there are fewer precious metals in the country, especially gold and silver. The United States, Britain and other countries increased the silver price sharply, resulting in a large outflow of silver from China.

At the same time, there was a large-scale silver run, and the domestic financial market was on the verge of collapse. Although the Nationalist government restricted silver, large quantities were smuggled out of the country.
The biggest fear of banks is the lack of gold reserves. Now the three big state-owned banks are forcibly buying up gold and silver in the market. Even with its Background in the UK, South Asia Bank is unable to get involved in this aspect.
Today, someone came to the door to send gold, this is a pie in the sky, do not allow wrong
"What is the exchange rate in your bank?" Although Ning Zhiheng knows, but still want to talk about a bargain, who will be too little money.
"That depends on the color of the gold, and Mr. Ning needs to exchange dollars? The pound? Legal tender? If the color is good and the price is negotiable, we can raise the market price by half." "Chen Kangshi replied.
"Hum, manager Chen pour can do business, if market price I still come to look for your south industry bank? There is no market in the current market, you have that price someone to ask you for gold?" Ning Zhiheng's face suddenly cold down. This Chen Kangshi is squeezing oil out of stone. He is a veteran in business.
Ning Zhiheng left the corner of the lips and then said: "It seems that manager Chen is not sincere to make it this business, that good I again for a bank to see." Then he got up to go.
Chen Kangshi hurriedly block, he also know this Mr. Lin is not really to go, just not satisfied with his offer. He seemed not to be a layman without knowledge, so he hastened to bid again: "Ten percent, ten percent higher! Mr. Lin, don't worry about it. Business is all about consultation."
Two people you come to me, pestering for half a day, are the mart on the understanding, finally Ning Zhiheng was impatient, after all, now is the seller's market, there is gold in my hand, I grasp the initiative. Not on a clap two parts, he is not a real businessman after all, a long time do not want to entwine.
"Manager Chen, my Lin family is also a generation of business, if this business is not in urgent need of a large sum of money, will not put the family out. To tell you the truth, if I can't get enough money for an emergency, I can't pay the bills at home." Ning Zhiheng was also a face of helplessly, posing a posture of not compromising until the goal is achieved. "Believe it or not, I will go to the central bank and raise the price by ten percent."
Chen Kangshi began to be calm and at ease, after all, talk about business, is not so each other temptation, the final benefit maximization. But when Ning Zhiheng some impatient, he can not sit, he can judge that the price is really not down. I think that's the bottom line.
In fact, observing Ning Zhiheng from the very beginning, I can feel that the temperament and manners of this young man are definitely well-educated, and I am afraid that every move has a military background. And so it was. His eyes were indeed mercilessly hot.
Such people can make friends with, after all, the bank is the boss, but the connections are their own. In this world, there are many ways to make friends, and it doesn't hurt to make friends with people with ability and background.
The determined, a really generous, said: "Mr Lin since is encountered difficult, that I XXL not ZiZhu care about people, so if the colour enough, then raise the price of ten percent and a half, how! Mr. Lin, this is the best concession I can make!"
Hearing this, Ning Zhiheng's face softened. This is also his bottom line price, after all, the origin of the gold can not withstand inspection, which is also why he is not willing to show the real identity.
As for the exchange between the central bank and the Bank of China, we will definitely suffer a loss in price. It is a strong private bank like South Asia bank that is the best choice.
After a consensus was reached, the delivery of the inspection gold began. Although Chen was prepared, the visual impact of opening all six boxes kept him quiet for a long time. Hemp egg, this is definitely a big dog!
When the gold was checked by a professional for its colour and weight, the price was increased by fifteen and a half, and Anning's request was converted into pounds, making a total of eighteen thousand pounds.
What's 18,000 pounds? Let's just say it's about 72,000 dollars. The equivalent of 210,000 silver dollars before the currency reform!
You should know that in Peiping, a piece of silver can buy a big dish of instant-boiled mutton. Even in Nanjing, the price of living for a family of three is only three pieces of silver a month.
According to Ning Zhiheng's orders, all the money was put into a special suitcase. Originally, Chen Kangshi also wanted to persuade Ning Zhiheng to exist in the South Industry bank, with a check to withdraw, but Ning Zhiheng flatly refused.
He is well aware that a few years later, a large number of state-owned banks and foreign banks collapsed in the long war, and some even declared bankruptcy after only a few years. Countless people have lost their life savings, and many have thrown themselves out of buildings with a useless savings slip in their hands. He doesn't want to be one of them.
