"Oh, girl, be gentle, don't make a mess." Zhang Lili shouted.
"Hey, dad, it's really the old man who wrote your name. I recognize his handwriting. It's like chicken claws and it's so ugly." Erya said happily.
"Can you really get money from the bank?" Wang Aiguo took the check and asked Zhang Lili cautiously in a nervous mood.
He would rather be defrauded out of money by Zhang Lili than use a piece of paper to defraud a bank because he would be arrested and shot.
"Really, this is called a check. It is a credit note issued by the bank, just like the passbook you use to deposit money in the bank."
Zhang Lili explained.
At this time, Aunt Six slapped her thigh and shouted: "When you say this, I understand that love is a bankbook!"
"Hey, isn't it just a bankbook? Tiejun brought back a lot of money. I can't bring that much, so I have to save it first."
Zhang Lili breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't explain clearly, he would stain the May 7th Brigade with blood today.
"Uncle Zhang, how much money did I ask you to bring back?"
Erya stared at the Arabic numerals on the check in confusion at this time, feeling a little dazzled. She had just counted for a long time, and it was indeed four zeros, with twenty-three in front. Wouldn't that add up to twenty-three...ten thousand?
This frightened her. It was an astronomical figure. The richest man in the team, the abominable Zhang family, was a legendary household worth one hundred thousand yuan. So, wasn't their family now a household worth two hundred thousand yuan?
"Oh, this is US dollars..."
Zhang Lili explained: "The current exchange rate is 8.5, which is 1:8.5. This check totals 1.95 million yuan."
"ah?"
Erya's little mouth suddenly opened wide.
The room full of people looked exactly like her, all petrified.
Then, without even bothering to eat, Zhang Lili drove a jeep and took the four members of the Wang family to Tianjin.
By this time, the news that Wang Tiejun had made a fortune had spread throughout not only the fourth team, but also the entire May 7th Brigade, including several neighboring brigades.
The Wang family went to Tianjin, and the family was left in the care of Aunt Six.
Because the house was still full of people, more and more villagers came from all over. It seemed that they were preparing to wait until Wang Aiguo and others came back from Tianjin to confirm whether they really had that much money.
The Zhang family, who raise pigs, also came over. The whole family, including brothers Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Ercheng, smelled like pig shit.
"That reform-through-labor prisoner Wang Tiejun must have done something bad in the United States, otherwise how could he earn two million?"
Zhang Dacheng shouted.
"It must be a lie. The person named Zhang must be a liar. He specializes in deceiving big Ya and Er Ya. They won't be able to come back. Maybe they were tricked into working as a hair salon girl in Guangzhou and Shenzhen."
Zhang Ercheng shouted.
"What the hell, you're taking advantage of others." Zhang Dacheng looked regretful.
"That's right." Zhang Ercheng echoed in frustration.
"Don't talk nonsense, look at this TV. The one you have at home is the grandson of this big guy, and the same goes for you two in front of Tie Jun."
Unsatisfied that the Zhang brothers always had bad ideas about Ya and Erya, Aunt Six scolded Sang and Huai.
"This liar has a lot of money to spend..."
The Zhang brothers looked at the majestic TV, their eyes shrank, and their voices became softer.
Regardless of this, more than an hour later, at 2:30 in the afternoon, the four members of the Wang family followed Zhang Lili to Tianjin and found the Bank of China branch.
Wang Aiguo and the other four were still dubious and couldn't believe it. Even though Zhang Lili explained many times, they couldn't believe that Wang Tiejun could make so much money. When they came to the bank gate, some of them didn't dare to go in.
"Go in, Brother Wang, it's okay."
Zhang Lili comforted him and finally led the four people in.
"Comrade, please pay me."
When he came to the accounting counter, he saw a female accountant in her forties. Zhang Lili handed the check in.
The female accountant took the check with an expressionless face, glanced at it, and suddenly paused, staring straight at the check.
"This is a cashier's check from a foreign bank, US$230,000. Is it real or fake?"
After looking at it for more than ten seconds, she didn't quite recognize the cashier's check from Citibank. The amount was too large and she couldn't believe it. She looked at Zhang Lili and Wang Aiguo with suspicious eyes, got up and came over with the check.
At another table, he handed the check to a male colleague in his fifties and said, "Mr. Wu, please take a look."
Her actions frightened Wang Aiguo and the other four, and they moved timidly behind Zhang Lili.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Zhang Lili quickly comforted him, then moved to Mr. Wu's counter and explained: "Comrade, this is a cashier's check from Citibank."
Mr. Wu should be the chief accountant here. He looked at Zhang Liyi and others, nodded, and began to identify the promissory notes in his hands.
The Bank of China does have dealings with Citibank and can cash Citibank's promissory notes, but the amount is very large and his attitude seems to be very cautious.
After identifying it for more than ten minutes, he was basically sure that it was true, so he asked: "Comrade, we can cash your money, but we cannot withdraw cash or transfer money at the moment. It must be transferred to our bank or Citibank."
Cash withdrawals and transfers can only be made after the exchange settlement is completed.”
"Alright."
Zhang Lili nodded, and that was all he could do. Anyway, he had the $20,000 in cash that Wang Tiejun brought back, which was enough for the time being.
"How many days will it take?" he asked again.
"At least half a month, I don't know the details."
Mr. Wu said for a while and then said: "Also, do you plan to withdraw this money in US dollars or RMB? There are restrictions on US dollars, so it is best to withdraw it in RMB."
Zhang Lili smiled. He knew Wu was always fooling him and didn't want them to withdraw US dollars, because the country is now short of foreign exchange. Last year's foreign exchange reserves were less than 20 billion U.S. dollars. The country is so big that this amount of foreign exchange is simply not enough.
.
"Just take RMB, we don't want US dollars. But we need to give us some foreign exchange coupons, so it's convenient to buy some things sometimes." He laughed.
"That's great. I can give some of the foreign exchange coupons to you, that's no problem." Mr. Wu laughed.
After completing the procedures at the bank, the bank opened a savings account for Wang Aiguo, and the money was deposited in it, totaling 2.01 million yuan, but the account was frozen.
"Brother Wang, take it. You can withdraw the money in a few days." Zhang Lili handed the passbook into Wang Aiguo's hands.
Wang Aiguo took the passbook tremblingly. His hands were too shaky and it took him a long time to open it. He felt dazzled when he saw a series of zeros on it.
Only now did he confirm that the money was real and that his son had really made a fortune.
Zhang Lili changed another 20,000 US dollars into RMB at the bank, totaling 170,000, which was used to pay off the debt.
"Come on, let's go back." Zhang Li said.
The five people got in the car again. Zhang Liji said while driving: "Tie Jun told me to find a tutor for Da Ya and Er Ya in bj first. After I send you home, I will go back to bj to make arrangements. After arranging the house and teacher,
Come pick them up and go to bj."
"We are going to have a bj, but what will we do with the 60 to 70 acres of land at home?" Erya said in surprise.
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "Tie Jun said, give it to the people in the team. We don't farm anymore at home, so we can at most grow more food for ourselves."
"Oh, that's not possible. Everything that needs to be planted has been planted and everything that needs to be pruned has been pruned. The total harvest can be worth tens of thousands of yuan." Sister Liu quickly shook her head.
"Isn't it true that Tie Jun feels sorry for you? He has made money and wants to make you two happy. If you still farm so much land, won't his money be in vain?" Zhang Li said with a smile.
"this?"
Sister Liu looked at Wang Aiguo, wondering what to do.
Wang Aiguo muttered for a long time before saying: "How about Da Ya and Er Ya go to the bj. We will plant the land first. We are really too busy. Then ask for help? It would be a pity to give it to others. Da Ya and Er Ya are already busy.
It’s been a year, so we can’t work in vain!”
He totaled it up and found that the home and the land he picked up totaled sixty-six acres. Da Ya and Er Ya used to take care of it. Now that winter has come, there is less work. The couple no longer have to work, so they can be busy.
Come down.
Zhang Lili stopped trying to persuade him and waited for him to install a phone in the Wang family and let Wang Tiejun speak for himself. It was not easy for him as an outsider to say much.
He added: "Tie Jun said that in addition to Da Ya and Er Ya's studies, they also have to build a big house for their family. It needs to be five floors, with the main building on the ground floor below. You two will live on the second floor. Da Ya Er will live on the second floor."
Ya will live on the third and fourth floors, and the fifth floor will be left to him."
"ah?"
The four members of the Wang family were surprised again. How much would it cost? They had no idea at all.
Wang Aiguo touched the place where his bankbook was placed on his waist and smacked his lips. If Tiejun wanted to repair it, then he should repair it.
"Tie Jun said that the family still needs to buy a car." Zhang Lili added.
Wang Aiguo nodded and said: "It is indeed more convenient to buy a bicycle."
"Ahem..."
Zhang Lili choked on his saliva. He felt that Wang Aiguo and his son were quite similar. Wang Tiejun was reluctant to buy a car even with such a big contract. It seemed like this was hereditary.
"By the way, Tie Jun wants the medicinal oil used to practice Tieshan's strength. You can get some more and I will bring it to him," he said again.
"Sure, I'll get it for him when I get back, please." Wang Aiguo said quickly.
