Chapter 16 The King's Confidence
(Bow to thank "Feng Shen Yu Shao" for his monthly ticket support!)
At the exit of Binhai Railway Station, a young man and woman walked out of the exit with the abortion. The woman was very beautiful and dressed very fashionable. No man was unwilling to look at her more, even if she just looked at her. But the man next to her was relatively ordinary, and it made people even more jealous. This man and woman were Zhou Ming and Su Han who came to Binhai.
Leaning beside Zhou Ming, Su Han asked Zhou Ming: "Zhou Ming, is it because my aunt is biased against me? You didn't quarrel with my aunt, right?"
Since getting on the bus in Linyang, Su Han has asked himself this question more than once. Zhou Ming still replied: "Don't worry, Xiaohan, my mother has been influenced by the rumors in the factory, and my mother is still very open-minded."
"Zhou Ming, don't quarrel with your aunt, don't quarrel about me, that's not worth it. I know that my reputation is not good..."
Before Su Han finished speaking, Zhou Ming held Su Han's hand and said, "What stupid things are you saying? Your reputation is very good. You can't look down on yourself like this. I said, you will always be the purest and most beautiful Xiao Han in my heart. I don't allow you to look down on yourself like this. When we are rich and powerful in the future, I will avenge you, and my mother will definitely change her opinion of you!"
Su Han was very moved: "Thank you Zhou Ming."
Zhou Ming and Su Han came to Binhai to exchange treasury bonds. According to Zhou Ming's memory, the interest on treasury bonds in Binhai reached a terrifying twentie bonds at this time. It was precisely because of this extremely high interest that Zhou Ming, after confirming that his father's health had completely recovered and his mother's health had no problems, came to Binhai City with the 200,000 treasury bonds collected by Gou Ye.
There are two large bags of treasury tickets for 200,000 yuan. For safety reasons, Zhou Ming and Su Han took a taxi directly to the hotel, and also went directly to the Peace Hotel.
Peace Hotel is an old hotel with a very old age by the Qingpu River. Of course, Zhou Ming chose to live here not because of the legends in the movies, but because it is the famous Binhai Bund, the financial center of Binhai City, and all the bank branches are concentrated here, so it is very convenient to exchange treasury bonds. In addition, he is also worried that the amount he wants to exchange is too large, and ordinary banks may not be able to exchange it, so it is better to go directly to the branch on the Bund to exchange it.
Opening a room at the Peace Hotel, Zhou Ming and Su Han immediately came to the nearest bank with their bags on their backs. As soon as they walked into the bank, Su Han pulled Zhou Ming's clothes and said excitedly: "Zhou Ming, look, the interest here is 2 cents per cent! It's really high, three points higher than Jiangxia City."
It turned out that there was an LED display panel hanging on the wall where the bank entered the door. The interest rate of the bank treasury bill displayed on it was exactly 21%, which is commonly known as two cents and one interest.
This interest is simply impossible to imagine in later generations, because at this interest rate, a treasury bill with a face value of 100 yuan for a five-year period will be about 110 yuan after maturity, which has exceeded the principal. This obviously does not comply with the basic rules of national bonds. It is just that at this particular time, the country is in order to raise funds as much as possible to support the country's major policy on reform and opening up, as well as the overall development plan of the country, and domestic residents do not have a clear understanding of treasury bonds, which leads to no one subscribed to treasury bonds, so the state has no way to increase the interest on treasury bonds to such an outrageous level.
I used to think I was born at the wrong time, but now it seems that this era is full of gold!
Zhou Ming laughed at himself in his heart and came to the bank counter with Su Han and said to it: "Hello comrade, I want to exchange for 200,000 treasury bills."
The bank counter lady was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyes stared at Zhou Ming and asked, "You... did you just say how many treasury bills do you want to repay?"
Zhou Ming patted his bulging bag and said, "Two hundred thousand."
The lady at the counter took a breath: "My God, a big capitalist!"
This made Zhou Ming feel speechless. Only 200,000 Treasury bonds are a big capitalist? But thinking about the fact that 200,000 in this era is indeed a considerable amount, but if she could see that any rich second-generation car drove hundreds of thousands or millions more than twenty years later, I wonder what she could think.
However, the counter lady was surprised, but her business was not vague. Of course, because Zhou Ming needed to exchange too much, for safety reasons, Zhou Ming was invited to the reception room in the bank to wait. After ten minutes of counting and calculation, it was concluded that the total principal and interest was more than 390,000 yuan.
"Comrade, do you want to withdraw cash or handle deposit business now? I suggest you better handle deposit business, because it is too unsafe to put such a large amount of money on it." The counter lady said to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming smiled slightly: "Thank you, but no need. I will take 90,000 yuan away. The rest will be transferred to the account of Dai Zhenjiang, director of the Agricultural Bank of Nanhui County, Linyang City, Jinghu Province."
This was the share of the money that Zhou Ming had discussed with Dai Zhenjiang before coming to Binhai, including Zhou Ming's original principal and the agreed interest. The rest were all the money that Dai Zhenjiang and Gou Ye were all given.
The lady at the counter said OK and went to handle the procedures for Zhou Ming. After a while, she took back the remittance form and the 50,000 yuan that Zhou Ming had to withdraw and handed it to Zhou Ming.
After receiving the remittance order and 90,000 yuan, Zhou Ming stood up and left the bank with Su Han.
Walking on the road, Zhou Ming sighed: "It's a pity that I have to remit 300,000. If that 390,000 are mine."
"Zhou Ming, you are really greedy," Su Han enlightened Zhou Ming, "We don't have that much capital. We originally had to borrow usury and collect treasury bills from door to door. Now we don't have to do anything, just wait for Director Dai to send the treasury bills to us, and then go to Binhai City. Even if we don't pay the round-trip accommodation and food expenses for Binhai, we can make so much money. It's already amazing!"
Indeed, if Su Han said this, it would be the same. He only came to Binhai for a business trip for a day for public expenses and earned tens of thousands of yuan. If this was to be heard by others in the factory, he would definitely be envious. But for Zhou Ming, it would be absolutely not enough to make these few dollars when he came back from his rebirth. However, if he had to make a lot of money, he had to wait for the opportunity. He would not be anxious.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Su Han: "Since we have finally come to Binhai, let's have a good tour of this beautiful Bund!"
"Is this a date?" Su Han's sudden words made Zhou Ming stunned for a moment, and then Su Han said, "Okay!"
After saying that, Su Han took Zhou Ming's hand and came to the streets of the Bund. At this time, the Bund was not as powerful as those developed by later generations. There were not so many high-rise buildings in the entire coastal coast. There were very few traffic on the streets. There were more bicycle troops, and even some tricycles that transport goods. Of course, there were no more smog that was criticized by later generations.
"Zhou Ming, come and see! There are photos taken here!"
Just when Zhou Ming was stunned, Su Han waved to him desperately. Zhou Ming followed Su Han and found that there was indeed a roadside photo studio. Looking at Su Han's happy look reminded Zhou Ming of countless selfies on his mobile phone more than 20 years later. It seems that women now and twenty years later like to take photos!
"There is the Peace Hotel, a landmark building on the Bund, and a legendary hotel in the past. Those who can live there are either rich or noble. You can use that one as *." The photographer suggested.
"Master, it's wrong to say that. Now is the era when the people are in charge. The Peace Hotel is just an ordinary hotel. It is something that all ordinary people can live in. It is not the patent of some powerful people. We live there too." Su Han said to the photographer with a smile.
The photographer was surprised when he heard this and said, "No way? I heard that living there for a day costs more than 100 yuan! Even many locals in Binhai can't afford to live there."
Zhou Ming and Su Han did not explain much to him. Zhou Ming looked back at the Peace Hotel, then looked at the opposite Qingpu River, and said to the photography master: "Just take this as a photo, and then take a photo from Pudong."
"Pudong?" The photographer turned around and looked at the sparse bungalow opposite Qingpu River, and said incomprehensible, "What's the best there? They are all bad houses."
"Now there are a bunch of bad houses, but maybe it will not be like this in a few years. If there is another ten years, every inch of land will be valuable. Isn't there a saying that I would rather have a bed in Pudong than a room in Puxi?" Zhou Ming said.
"Little brother, are you talking about the opposite? The people in Binhai said that they would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong." The photographer corrected.
"Master, what you are talking about is the present, what I am talking about is the future."
Zhou Ming said with certainty that he and Su Han had put in a few posses. Zhou Ming said to Su Han with some regret: "It's a pity that we don't have enough money now. Otherwise, we will go to Pudong to buy a piece of land, and we will get rich in ten years."
The photographer silently helped Zhou Ming and Su Han take photos, then walked to Zhou Ming and bowed deeply and said, "This little comrade, can you tell me why you are so sure that Pudong will develop well? My name is Wang Qiangguo, and I am helping with a municipal project now."
Wang Qiangguo?
This name made Zhou Ming feel a little surprised. Zhou Ming looked at the photographer carefully and found that this person was the richest man in China twenty years later and the founder of China's largest real estate group. Zhou Ming often sees his photos on the Internet, so he is still very familiar with him. Looking back at this time, he was indeed running engineering around the country, but he didn't expect that he could actually see him here.
In addition to being surprised, Zhou Ming couldn't help but feel the magic of fate. If he was really the real estate tycoon, then now he told him the value of Pudong. Wouldn't that mean that he would guide the richest man in China?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Wang Qiangguo: "If someone asked me, I wouldn't answer, but Master Wang, I'll tell you, the reason why I judged this is very simple. First, Puxi is so prosperous, but Pudong is separated by a river, is it normal? Second, Puxi is so big, and it has been developing. What should I do if one day Puxi's development comes to an end? Should I expand to other places? Finally, the country is now implementing the grand strategy of reform and opening up, that is, our country will eventually open its national gates and face the ocean. Pudong is the closest place to the sea, and there is the best natural port there, so why not develop?"
After hearing this, Wang Qiangguo bowed to Zhou Ming deeply and said with emotion: "It's better to listen to your words from little brother than to read for ten years! I have such insightful insights, which makes me understand a lot."
Su Han said proudly: "Of course, Zhou Ming is a college student!"
"Yes, my little brother is more visionary than me." Wang Qiangguo said, "Can I take the liberty to ask, is my little brother's surname?"
"My name is Zhou Ming. One day you will see mine on TV, newspapers and magazines." Zhou Ming said.
Wang Qiangguo looked at Zhou Ming in amazement. If someone else said this to him, Wang Qiangguo would definitely sneer, saying that this was the arrogance of young people. After all, in his concept, people who can be on TV, newspapers and magazines are all amazing figures, but he believed that Zhou Ming would definitely be able to do what he said.
