In the next two days, Qin Hao basically never left the guest house. News spread quickly in the small county. I heard that the treasury bonds, which were like waste paper, could be exchanged for money. Everyone came to exchange them. Sometimes there were so many people that there was a queue.
There was a long queue, which made people who didn't know the truth think that some unit was distributing welfare.
Two days later, Qin Hao left the guest house under the reluctant eyes of the crowd.
After coming out of the guest house, Qin Hao went straight to the passenger terminal. After more than three hours of bumpy driving, he finally returned to Shanghai when it was dark.
"It's true that Ah Hao left without saying a word. He just left. It's been two or three days and he didn't even call me to say he was safe. It's really scary."
"Okay, stop dangling there, it's going to dazzle me."
Qin Hao felt warm in his heart when he heard the movement upstairs.
"I asked why I keep sneezing every day, but it turns out you two are talking behind my back all day long."
Hearing Qin Hao's voice coming from the stairs, Abao and Tao Tao looked at each other.
"Am I hallucinating? Why does this voice sound so much like Hao?"
"Nonsense, it's just Ah Hao."
While talking, Qin Hao had already carried his backpack upstairs.
Tao Tao punched Qin Hao in the chest and said in a resentful tone: "It's embarrassing to say it, but there has been no news for so many days since I left. I don't know how worried A Bao and I are."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I don't have to worry. You brought me here."
Qin Hao put one hand on their shoulders and said, "Okay, I'm back now. Let's go into the house and show you something good."
A group of three people entered the attic and locked the door. Under the dull eyes of Tao Tao and Abao, Qin Hao poured out a bag full of treasury bills.
At this time, in the eyes of Tao Tao and Abao, the whole world was in slow motion. The red and green treasury bills were flying in the air like snowflakes. Tao Tao almost subconsciously reached out and grabbed a handful. The real touch told him,
This is not a dream.
"This...you took all this back this time?" Tao Tao asked with his mouth wide open.
Qin Hao smiled: "What if that's not the case?"
"Are these treasury bonds so easy to collect?" Abao also widened his eyes.
"Many people use this thing as waste paper. The waste paper can be exchanged for money. It's you. Are you willing to exchange it? There are still many people holding me and refusing to let me go. If the money is not enough, no matter how much money I have, I will not let you go."
You can get back double the amount."
Qin Hao poured himself a glass of water. After walking for several days, the water in the thermos bottle had become cold, but he didn't care and drank heavily.
"Are these treasury bills charged at a 50% discount?" Abao asked curiously.
Qin Hao shook his head: "In 1981, the price was 50% off. After 1982, some were 30% off, and some were 40% off."
"Then you've made more than 10,000 yuan in the past few days since you've been out?"
Abao was shocked when he came up with this figure. Households with ten thousand yuan are rare these days. He made a household with ten thousand yuan in a few days. This was something he never dared to think about before.
You know, his current monthly salary is only over fifty yuan.
"Including interest, it should be 20,000 yuan."
"How about it, do you want to come and do it with me?"
Qin Hao smiled at Abao.
Abao didn't say anything, but Tao Tao became anxious and pushed him with his elbow: "Who are you in that class? The little money you earn in a month is not enough for us to go to the Peace Hotel for a meal. If you ask me, I might as well quit."
If you don't want to run around like Ah Hao, come and buy seafood from me, and we'll share half of the shop."
Seeing that Abao didn't speak for a long time, Qin Hao waved his hand to Tao Tao: "Okay, don't force him. The person who untied the bell has to tie the bell. Don't worry, he will figure it out one day in the future."
Xuezhi's abandonment was not only the end of his first love for Abao, but also the collapse of his worldview. Abao once thought that as long as two people fell in love, they could withstand all kinds of dangers. However, just because they could go to Hong Kong to live, Xuezhi...
Zhi did not hesitate to marry a Hong Konger whom she had not met a few times.
That night, Qin Hao and the others bundled treasury bills of different years according to their face values. After a final calculation, they found that the total face value was 23,652 yuan. After including the interest and deducting a portion of the interest rate paid in advance, it was almost 26,000 yuan.
"I'm getting rich, I'm really getting rich now!" Tao Tao hugged a bundle of treasury bills and kissed her hard several times.
Qin Hao said calmly: "Don't be happy so early, there is still a step to go before this thing can be realized."
Tao Tao then remembered that treasury bills cannot be spent as money and must be redeemed, otherwise they will be no different from waste paper.
"In this way, let's each take part of the treasury bills and go to different branches to exchange them tomorrow. The bank tellers will definitely ask you where you got so many treasury bills. A Bao, you said Taicang County Agricultural Machinery Factory, Tao Tao, you said fertilizer factory. I heard that treasury bills can be
To exchange money, the employees in the factory asked you to exchange it. In addition, I will give you a phone number. If they say they want to call to verify, give this number to them. Remember, don’t panic. The more you panic, the more they will
Will be suspicious."
Qin Hao saw that the two of them were nervous, so he added: "You will follow me first tomorrow and see how I deal with them."
Tao Tao licked her dry lips: "Ah Hao, where did you get this number? What if the bank really calls and asks?"
"Don't worry, this number belongs to the Taicang County Guest House. I gave the waiters five yuan each and they will help us fool them."
"You kid is really cunning... Bah, you are very resourceful."
That night, Tao Tao and Abao didn't go back, so they spent the night together on the small bed at Qin Hao's house. These two guys were too timid and didn't sleep much all night, tossing and turning like pancakes.
By the next morning, both of them had panda eyes.
After a simple breakfast, Qin Hao took them to a nearby People's Bank.
In the 1980s, very few people went to banks to handle personal business. Ordinary people did not have much money, and even a few hundred yuan could not afford to go to the bank to get a passbook. Private enterprises and self-employed individuals could not get loans from banks. The main business of banks during this period was
Connect with state-owned enterprises.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the People's Bank of China is an exception because it has foreign exchange business. Foreign exchange is very popular these days. If foreign-funded enterprises want to enter the Chinese market for investment, they need to exchange foreign currency into RMB.
, when domestic companies receive orders from abroad, they need to purchase some foreign spare parts or equipment, and they also need to convert RMB into foreign currency.
In addition, there are many people sent abroad by the government or studying abroad. Before going abroad, they will go to the People's Bank of China to exchange foreign currency. However, the amount of exchange is limited, and the rest can only be found by yourself.
"Brother, do you want foreign exchange? I'll give it to you cheaper."
As soon as Qin Hao and the other two arrived at the entrance of the People's Bank of China, a group of people quietly came over.
Obviously, this is a group of foreign exchange scammers. According to the official exchange rate in 1984, 1 U.S. dollar was exchanged for 2.327 yuan, but in the hands of these scammers, it became at least 1:5 or even 1:6. There is no way, who
There is a limit for everyone to exchange foreign currency, and the Western world does not recognize the RMB. Many people who are eager to go abroad can only buy foreign exchange from them at high prices.
"Do you have a business card?"
Qin Hao's words made the bad guy stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "This brother is really good at joking. Who among us can print business cards? Are you waiting to be caught?"
"That's right, let's go and do some errands first, and I'll come back to you if necessary later." Qin Hao said, taking Tao Tao and Abao into the business hall of the People's Bank of China.
After queuing for almost an hour, it was Qin Hao's turn.
The teller asked through half the glass window: "What business do you do?"
"Exchange Treasury Bills."
When Qin Hao took out a thick stack of treasury bills, the teller was obviously stunned. It was obvious that she had never handled such a business before.
"Well, comrade, please wait a moment."
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a suit invited Qin Hao and three others to the office.
"Sir, are you the one who wants to exchange treasury bills?"
"Yes."
"Can you let me take a look?"
"no problem."
The middle-aged man picked up a treasury bill, checked it, and then put it back calmly: "Has this gentleman brought his ID card?"
Tao Tao and Abao were both sweating for Qin Hao, but Qin Hao calmly took out a fake ID card from his bag, which he had collected from the group of social youths who wanted to rob him.
, the ID number and address are all real. As for the image, these days the image on the ID card can basically only recognize the outline of the face. If you want to identify whether it is the person through the image on the ID card, you need a professional criminal investigation.
The police are coming.
"Here it is."
The middle-aged man asked some more questions about Taicang County, and Qin Hao answered them fluently.
"Comrade, is there something wrong with these treasury bonds? Why do you feel like you are interrogating a prisoner?" Qin Hao said pretending to be impatient.
The middle-aged man smiled and reassured: "Comrade, don't get me wrong, we are also responsible for state-owned assets. There is no problem now. Xiao Li, you should handle the payment for this comrade."
"Okay director."
Then the teller started tapping the calculator and calculated it several times before going to withdraw money from Qin Hao.
"Comrade, the total here is 5,614 yuan and 67 cents. Please click on it."
Qin Hao pretended to be suspicious and asked, "You didn't fool me, did you?"
"Comrade, this is the People's Bank of China. We have records of all payments. If you don't believe it, you can do the calculation yourself." The teller was a little unhappy and handed the calculator directly to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao pushed the calculator away and put the money into his bag: "I haven't even graduated from elementary school, so I won't count on you. You have the receipts. I have to show it to the factory accountant later, otherwise you guys will still have to pay for it."
They thought I was corrupt."
"Yes, this is the payment note. Please keep it."
"Okay, as long as you have the receipt."
The moment they walked out of the bank, Tao Tao and Abao let out a sigh of relief, and then high-fived each other.
"It turns out it's that simple. Let's go to the next one. It's me this time." Tao Tao said proudly.
"It's just you. I don't know who it was that made you wet your pants just now."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. You're so scared that I'm trembling. My hands are pinched blue by you."
During the banter between the two, the previous tension disappeared. Then they went to two other branches and successfully cashed in all the remaining treasury bills into cash. There was a slight discrepancy with Qin Hao's calculation, and they got a total of 26853.33.
Yuan.
After inviting Tao Tao and Abao to have a meal, Qin Hao didn't stay too long and continued to Taicang County early the next morning.
It's still the same guest house, still the same room, this time Qin Hao doesn't have to go out. After hearing the news, the people who exchanged it with Qin Hao last time came with their relatives and friends this time.
There were even more people this time than last time. There was a long queue early every morning. If not many people had to go to work, it would have been even more exaggerated.
Similarly, the money Qin Hao brought was also consumed rapidly. In just three days, more than 26,000 yuan was turned into treasury bills with a face value of more than 63,000 yuan.
What's interesting is that since Qin Hao cleared both money and goods these two times and accumulated a certain amount of credibility, when he was about to leave, many people were willing to give him treasury bonds first and let him write an IOU for him next time.
Come and give me more money.
Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh, people these days are so simple that it makes people want to cry.
Of course, Qin Hao did not disappoint them. He soon came to Taicang again and was the first to pay them the money.
It took almost half a month to plunder almost all the treasury bonds of the surrounding townships and villages in Taicang County. In this one county alone, Qin Hao's original capital of 10,000 yuan swelled into
Two hundred and thirty thousand.
In the next year, Qin Hao traveled to various counties and cities in Jiangsu. During this period, he encountered at least a dozen people who had robbed people. He also encountered people who were reported and chased by industrial and commercial companies, but in the end they were all overtaken by him.
His skill saved the day.
In addition, as more and more treasury bills were being exchanged, in order to avoid being targeted by bankers, Qin Hao did not show up when the treasury bills were exchanged later, but instead paid migrant workers to do the exchange.
According to the address for exchanging treasury bills, find the person in the corresponding place. Occasionally, if you fail, you will lose thousands of treasury bills.
Later, Qin Hao saw that the People's Bank of China in Shanghai had begun to notice, so he simply went to several big cities to exchange money.
In this way, after one year, Qin Hao had as much as one million in cash.
"Ah Hao, what are you going to do with so much money? How about buying a car?" Tao Tao's eyes widened as she looked at the mountain of money.
Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "You can buy a car and you know how to drive it?"
"No, you can learn." Tao Tao scratched his head and laughed.
Qin Hao shook his head. The most unworthy thing to buy in the 1980s was a car. The price of a domestic Santana was as high as 200,000 yuan. It was simply a money grab.
"Then it wouldn't be safe to leave such a large amount of money at home, right?" Tao Tao said worriedly.
This money definitely cannot be deposited in a bank. If a self-employed person deposits so much money at once and has no way to explain the origin of the money, isn't this a performance to the police?
"Part of it is used to buy stocks, and the other part is for me to go to Hong Kong."
Hearing that Qin Hao was going to Hong Kong, a flash of fear flashed in Abao's eyes.
