Chapter 62 Business
I asked the coachman that there is indeed a family in Nanjing and Shui Jinxing, but Fang Buwei dared not go.
Two thousand taels of gold are not a small amount. Fang Buwei was afraid of leaving behind a leg and revealing traces. The other was that he could not guarantee whether this gold store was related to Japanese spies.
Although his temperament is extraordinary and his clothes are elegant, the bank manager saw Fang Buwei holding the box lightly, and then looked at it. It was obviously a lunch box. He thought it was a small business and no one even paid attention to him.
When Fang didn't ask for a word, a young employee came to greet him.
Such a large bank does not exchange foreign currencies, but only exchanges silver dollars?
Fang Buwei didn't believe it at all. He probably because he was a Chinese.
What does it mean to have more than two thousand taels of gold that can be exchanged for more than one hundred thousand silver dollars?
The staff asked Fang Buwei how much gold he had on hand, and Fang Buwei said that he had dozens of taels of taels. The staff curled his lips on the spot.
The bank staff did not even think that the box that Fang Buwei carried was filled with gold bars.
He suggested that Fang Buwei, if he did not want to exchange silver dollars, he could store gold here.
How could Fang Buwei make such a low-level mistake?
In such a chaotic era, it is better to keep the money in your own hands and feel more at ease.
Having money can make the devil push the mill, but Fang Buwei found that this sentence was even more appropriate in the Republic of China. However, seeing that there was no one around, he stuffed a few silver dollars into his staff and asked where he could exchange it for US dollars.
The staff told him several places, including private banks and foreign-funded banks' offices.
Fang didn't think about it again and again, so he went to Standard Chartered Bank's office.
Two thousand taels of gold are worth tens of millions of years, and the goal is too big. Moreover, the gold bars are full of marks and numbers, so I dare not take risks.
It is hard to guarantee that people will not be stared at by private banks opened by Chinese people.
At this time, most of the well-known banks such as Britain, the United States, Germany and Japan had branches in Shanghai, and few were in Nanjing. However, they had offices. The biggest function was exchange and redemption.
Redeem in other places, and foreign currencies are also used to exchange domestic gold and silver.
This is exactly what China does not think about.
Even if it is Standard Chartered Bank, Fang Buwei plans to explore the way first.
He spent ten dollars to buy a leather bag from a foreign company, found a secluded place, took out twenty gold bars from the box and put them in.
The one who received him was a Chinese comprador. After explaining his purpose, the comprador named Tao was very enthusiastic.
Fang Buwei asked about the price, which was similar to his expectations. The comprador named Tao said that it depends on the quality of gold before the price can be set.
Fang Buwei took out a gold bar that had been prepared long ago and handed it over.
"The quality is good!" the comprador named Tao said without hesitation, "How many do you have?"
"How much does your performance have to be paid at a time?" Fang Buwei asked.
A hint of brilliance appeared on Tao's comprador's face: "Below $100,000, repay immediately!"
Fang Buwei was happy to hear that and stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred taels!"
"Yes!" Tao Comprador may have seen a lot of people. When he heard Fang Buwei said it was two hundred taels, his face was as plain as water.
"Have you brought something?"
Fang Bu opened his leather bag and took out all twenty gold bars.
Tao Comprador did not ask about the origin of the gold bar or Fang Buwei's identity, and he exchanged it for US dollars on the spot.
One or two or three two dollars, the only way to extinguish 6,400 dollars.
Before leaving, Fang Buwei claimed that he had another purchase at home. He went to get it now and came to exchange it later.
Tao Comprador said he could come over at any time.
With a leather bag on his back and leaving the office, Fang Bu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just don't ask about the origin.
After reading the cat and drawing the tiger, Fang Buwei went to the exchange offices of several other foreign banks, but he deliberately avoided Deutsche Bank.
He also wanted to exchange the certificate of deposit.
The prices are not much different. Fang Buwei calculated that if he exchanged them only at one place, the price would be higher.
But the number is too large, he really dared not concentrate on one of them to exchange.
After handing over the last thirty gold bars to Tao comprador, Fang Buwei already had 65,000 US dollars in his bag.
Five hundred taels of gold are considered a big customer, and Tao’s comprador finally had a hint of enthusiasm on his face.
"If sir has gold, I can raise some more prices here!"
Of course, there is no gold bar, so Fang Buwei and he will not say it out loud.
"It was originally used to save your life, but if it weren't for emergency, it wouldn't be sold!" Fang Buwei pretended to be a little worried, "If it's a bad thing, I will naturally have to trouble Brother Tao!"
Fang Buwei said that something had happened at home, so he sold gold for emergency response.
After a business was completed, the two of them had already begun to call each other brothers.
"By the way, I still have a certificate of deposit here. I wonder if Brother Tao can repay it here! If possible, I won't be able to go there again." Fang Buwei pondered for a moment and took out the Deutsche Bank certificate of deposit.
Tao comprador took it, glanced at it and said, "If it were our own certificate of deposit, we could naturally repay it, and other banks' none of them!"
As he said that, he returned the certificate of deposit to Fang Buwei: "It's not far away, just cross the street!"
Fang Buwei put away the certificate of deposit and said casually: "This money was deposited by my father, but he happened to go out. I don't know if I can repay it if I go?"
"I am just about to remind you that if you are not ready to redeem, the certificate of deposit must be collected. If you withdraw the voucher, anyone who gets it can redeem it..." said Tao Comprador.
This is the best! Fang Buwei thought secretly.
After leaving Standard Chartered Bank's office, Fang Buwei went directly to Deutsche Bank's office.
When Fang Buwei took out the certificate of deposit, the Chinese staff called the German supervisor directly.
Fang Buwei looked at it calmly, it should be that the amount was too large and the Chinese staff did not have enough authority.
Sure enough, a German manager came. He first called the Shanghai branch to confirm, and then held a magnifying glass to confirm the stamp on the certificate of deposit.
After watching for several minutes, the German manager nodded and asked the Chinese staff to exchange it directly.
After repaying the certificate of deposit, the only way is to be relaxed. If he is willing, he can buy a building in the most prosperous area of Nanjing, buy five or six princes in the Qing Dynasty in Peking, and in Shanghai...
Forget it, don't think about it anymore.
Fang Buwei suppressed his excitement, put his leather bag on his chest and called a rickshaw. Then Fang Buwei told the coachman again to go to the Shui Jinxing.
Once you have made money, you have to do the important things.
All the Japanese gold bars came from this gold store. And the number was so large that Fang Buwei was a little doubtful whether this bank had something to do with the Japanese, so he was careful.
When he left the Deutsche Bank office just now, Fang Buwei asked them if they could buy gold bars here. The staff told him that it was 1.2 to 40 US dollars, and the limit was 100 taels per day.
How did the two thousand taels of gold hidden in the secret room come from? And it was from the same gold store?
