Shanghai is an adventurer's paradise in the East, an economic and financial center, where there is no shortage of financial institutions, banks, and a large number of underground banks that cannot be counted.

The tens of thousands of fiat money collected from the gambling stalls, under the operation of Xiao Qi, removed the hard work fees given, and these counterfeit banknotes were actually exchanged for nearly 30,000 yuan.

Of course, fiat currency is not as valuable as it was in the previous two years, if two years ago, 30,000 fiat currency was a huge amount of money, and now it can only be regarded as a large fortune.

"Some banks and money banks still found out about the problem with these fiat currencies, but they didn't say why, they just made excuses and refused to accept them."

"Didn't make trouble, did you?"

"No, according to your instructions, only exchange, don't make trouble, as long as the other party doesn't exchange, we will change to another one." Little Seven Ways.

"You can continue to exchange until you find out, but you must do a good job of safety, and once you find that the situation is wrong, stop immediately." Chen Miao said.

"I know, what will I do with this money?"

"Invest in Xueqin's snow stage and bookstore in your name." Chen Miao thought for a while, this money was extra, and it was not appropriate to put it in his own hands or give it directly to Liang Xueqin.

"But I have so much money......" Xiao Qi hesitated slightly.

"It's okay, I've already vaccinated you in front of Xueqin, and she won't doubt that you have money." Chen Miao explained.

"And how much money should I get out?"

"How many do you have?" Chen Miao asked subconsciously.

"If all my savings are combined, if converted into fiat currency, it should be hundreds of thousands." Xiao Qi subconsciously estimated in his mind.

"How much?"

"Four or five hundred thousand should have." Xiao Qi said affirmatively.

Chen Miao was so shocked that he almost didn't bite off the tip of his tongue, four or five hundred thousand fiat currency, the exchange rate of the year before last, if converted into silver dollars, it was a small 100,000, and now the fiat currency is depreciating very quickly, how to say that it is half.

This is a wealth that many people can't earn in a lifetime, and Xiao Qi can easily have it at such a young age.

Of course, these wealth did not come overnight, but Xiao Qi followed Chen Miao to accumulate bit by bit over the years, although Chen Miao adopted Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi helped him do things, and the reward that should be given is a lot, over the years, Xiao Qi has supported himself by himself, and he has known since he was a child to save money and never spend money indiscriminately, every money Chen Miao gave him was saved by him, as for how to save it, where it exists, even Chen Miao doesn't know.

Of course, Xiao Qi and his work are very dangerous, maybe one day it will be gone, and there will definitely be a plan to deal with it, but this is not until the last moment, and it will not be moved.

"Take out half of it, find your sister Xueqin, and give you 20% of the shares, what do you think?" Chen Miao asked in a consultative tone.

"Okay." Xiao Qi didn't hesitate, he agreed, if he didn't have Chen Miao, he wouldn't be able to save all of his wealth, even if Chen Miao took it all, he wouldn't have any complaints.

"Xiao Qi, you have grown up, you have to make some plans for your future life, you have to start a family in the future, be a good husband and father, the third brother can't take care of you for a lifetime." Chen Miao said with some emotion.

"Third brother, I won't have a family, and I won't have children."

"What do you say about children, forget it, when you reach my age, you will understand that there are many things in life that you will only understand at that stage." Chen Miao shook his head and smiled, Xiao Qi is not a child who grew up in a normal family after all, although he worked hard to instill his correct outlook on life and worldview, but the experience of wandering and begging in his childhood was too unforgettable for him.

……

Yixin Society, Du Haipeng Mansion.

An English-style garden house on Yuyuan Road.

Du Haipeng, who is in his forties, used to be just a foot on the dock, but after joining the gang, he dared to fight, was appreciated, and gradually came out, and finally laid the foundation of the current business.

In fact, two years ago, he didn't have the same scenery as now, and after the Japanese came, he leaned in, first helping the Japanese clean up the bombed-out Zhabei, and taking a group of coolies on the dock to carry and bury the corpses, so he was appreciated by Nishimura, an adviser to the Shanghai Restoration Government.

With Xicun as a backer, Du Haipeng soon occupied the cargo transportation and loading and unloading market at the wharves along the Suzhou Creek, and became the largest foot travel organization on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek.

Du Haipeng became a traitor, gaining fame and fortune, not only bought a lot of real estate in the concession, but also set up a company, opened a dance hall, a big smoke house and other transactions.

It can be said that in terms of wealth, he can now be regarded as able to squeeze into the circle of rich people in Shanghai, but his background is a little worse, and it is difficult to enter the upper class, especially if he wants to enter the political arena, which is even more difficult.

In order to go further, and even wanted to get an official to do, Du Haipeng followed in the footsteps of the Japanese, helping to loot and harm the Chinese people, and on the other hand, he was trying every possible way to tie up with the upstarts under Wang's hands, sharpening his head and wanting to drill into the puppet government.

All day long, money, beauty, that is not stingy to send out.

In the end, the money and beauties still worked, and Du Haipeng won the title of an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Nanjing puppet government.

With this identity, although there is no actual official position, at least he can hold his head high in front of those who look down on him, and he doesn't need to look at other people's faces.

After nightfall, a black Chevrolet car drove into the Du Mansion, and Du Haipeng, who got the news, wore the best Hangzhou silk satin gown and personally greeted him at the door and under the steps.

The car stopped outside the flower bed at the entrance.

Du Haipeng, who was only in his early forties, had already seen a little gray on his temples, and he worked as a coolie on the dock in his early years, and there were many dark wounds in his body left by the days of fighting, which caused him to be a little old and decrepit.

A middle-aged man with a gold wire mirror, wearing a black suit, and a somewhat bloated figure got out of the car, Du Haipeng saw it, and a smile instantly appeared on his withered face, and he greeted him: "Mr. Kodama came to the cold house in person, Du is very honored, please." ”

"I'm sorry to disturb President Du."

"Where, please come inside." Du Haipeng lowered his eyebrows and said with a sneer.

"President Du, please." Kodama Yuye smiled and said politely.

After the sumptuous dinner, Kodama Yuye was invited to the study by Du Haipeng to talk.

Kodama Yu Yves has been in Shanghai for many years, is an authentic Chinese expert, especially loves Chinese antique calligraphy and painting, and Du Haipeng's study, originally he didn't think there was anything to see, because this kind of nouveau riche didn't know the historical and cultural value of antique calligraphy and painting, just to buy some vulgar things, hang them at home and make them elegant, but I was afraid that I spent a lot of money to buy fakes and didn't know it.

However, as soon as he entered the study, he saw a copy of the Tang Dynasty painter Zhang Xuan's "Pounding Practice" hanging on the south wall of Du Haipeng's study.

Although it is a copy, it can be seen that the artist's skill is extraordinary, and it is different from ordinary fakes, which immediately attracted the eye of Kodama Yuye.

"President Du, this "Pounding Practice"?"

"If Mr. Kodama likes it, I'll order someone to take it off, and be a little careful?" Du Haipeng said busily, a painting is just a painting, compared to real money, it can't be eaten, it can't be used, what value can it be, he wants to make money, then he has to rely on Mr. Kodama here to help him.

"What's so embarrassing about this, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, so let's do it, President Du, how much did you buy this painting, and I will sell it with you at a 20% markup, what do you think?" Kodama Yu Yves said sincerely.

"Mr. Kodama, you're too polite, it's just a painting, it's not worth a few dollars......"

"President Du, I like antique calligraphy and painting, but I don't like to take it by force, if you don't want to cut your love, then forget it." Kodama Yu Yves bent down slightly.

"No, no, Mr. Kodama likes it, I'll just sell it to you, and as for the price, you can just look at it." Du Haipeng hurriedly shook his hand.

Although this painting is not the real work of Zhang Xuan in the Tang Dynasty, the brushwork of the person who copied it is deep and the essence is very good, and from the perspective of age, it is almost eight years ago. Nine hundred years old, it is an old object, and if it is placed outside, it is worth at least three hundred oceans! Kodama Yu Eve stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and said, "How about I pay 500 oceans to buy President Du's painting?" ”

"Five hundred oceans, a bit much, I only spent a hundred oceans to buy this painting."

"That's President Du's earnings, hehe." Kodama Yu Yves smiled, "Since I have paid this price, I will not take it back, and later, I will order someone to send five hundred oceans over." ”

"How embarrassing is this...... Du Haipeng rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, our business will continue for a long time, what do you say, President Du?" Kodama Yu Yves smiled, completely grasping the initiative of the conversation.

"That's, that's, doing business with Mr. Kodama is the happiest thing." Du Haipeng hurriedly said with a smile on his face.

"President Du, how is that batch of goods?"

"It's coming out, but it's a bit slow with the current method, and I feel like it's possible that our people are already being targeted." Du Haipeng said.

"Well, President Du, you can think of other ways to get this batch of goods out as soon as possible." Kodama Yu Yves said.

"Understood, Mr. Kodama, if you give me another week, I promise to get this shipment out as soon as possible." Du Haipeng patted his chest. Assured.

"Well, this shipment is just the beginning, there will be more and better goods in the future, and when the time comes, you will earn more." Kodama Yu Yves laughed.

"That's, that's."

"You can take these goods to those underground money banks to see if anyone can recognize them, and if they can't recognize them, then exchange them for oceans or gold bars and take them out immediately." Kodama Yu Yves commanded.

"And what if you get recognized?"

"It doesn't matter, even if they recognize you, they won't be able to do anything to you, at most don't keep money in their bank or bank." Kodama Yu Yves said with a smile.

"Understood, I'll tell my subordinates to do it tomorrow."

"Must be someone reliable."

"Understood."
