Chapter 118
This year's Sijiu City seems to be particularly cold.
Just entering winter gives people a feeling of being frozen to death.
Goose feather-like snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the entire Sijiu City's buildings with a layer of white quilt.
He Daqing rode his bicycle out of Xinbaozhai and went directly back to the bun shop.
Affected by the public-private partnership.
The price of gold in Sijiu City has soared again, from the original more than four yuan per gram to fifty-four cents.
Obviously, the rich people in Sijiu City are not stupid. From the"Comprehensive Public-Private Partnership Policy" issued not long ago, they have vaguely smelled some kind of crisis and began to prepare for the future.
Of course, in addition to this reason, there is another reason.
That is, there seems to be news from above that a new currency is to be issued.
People of this era have an extraordinary fear of the issuance of new currencies.
So after this news came out, the price of gold on the market began to rise continuously.
Especially those rich people, they wish they could directly exchange all their money for gold, so as not to change the paper money in their hands.���Waste paper.
Under such circumstances.
It would be strange if the price of gold in the city of Sijiu did not rise.
The most important thing is that even if you have money in your hand, it is difficult to buy gold now.
Because those gold merchants are not stupid. Before the specific rules for the issuance of new currencies and the recycling of old currencies are introduced, they are certainly unwilling to take the risk of selling the gold in their hands.
After all, from ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty or generation, whenever a new currency is issued, there are few normal recycling of old currencies.
At this time, exchanging gold for paper money is too risky and they simply cannot afford it.
Therefore, this time He Daqing went to Xinbaozhai to buy gold, and it did not go smoothly. He only bought 30,000 yuan of gold with 100,000 yuan.
This is because He Daqing is an old customer of Xinbaozhai. The two sides have cooperated for a long time and have always cooperated happily.
Otherwise, I am afraid that even the 30,000 yuan of gold will not be exchanged for him.
This made He Daqing sigh, knowing that the best exchange time has passed. In the future, it will undoubtedly become more difficult to exchange gold. It is possible that even Xinbaozhai, a stable exchange channel for gold, will be lost.
In 1955 and 1956, the public-private partnership was fully implemented and the era of bills arrived.
In 1957 and 1958, the whole nation started to make steel.
In 1959, 1960 and 1961, the three-year disaster
…………
Thinking about the situation in the next few years.
He Daqing frowned tightly, knowing that he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
The deadline he set for himself was five or six years ago.
He must go to Hong Kong Island before five or six years.
He Daqing made such a decision not only because it would be very troublesome to go to Hong Kong Island after five or six years, but more importantly, he is not a god. It will take at least two years for him to gain a foothold in Hong Kong Island.
With two years of accumulation and preparation, he will be able to better help the country during the next three years of major disasters.
As the saying goes: Even if I am in a low position, I dare not forget to worry about the country, and I have to wait until I die before things are settled!
He Daqing cannot change the course of history, nor does he have such great ability.
But he really wants to give a little help to the motherland and the people of this era in his own way, even if this matter will not be known to others and will not receive any honors or praise, he is willing to do so.
…………
"Look further inside, and see… the eight-armed Nezha shakes the nine states…"
"The Ming Dynasty was above the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had 16 emperors. The last emperor, Chongzhen, was very peaceful. There were three years of drought and three years of flood. Rice was as expensive as pearls. The price was expected to rise. Rich families sold mules and horses, and poor families sold children. The common people suffered.……"
Just as He Daqing was riding his bike past the entrance of the Dazhalan Tavern, he suddenly heard the chorus of a shadow puppet show.
A box truck converted from a flatbed truck was covered with a large piece of black cloth. Three children put their heads into the black cloth to watch the shadow puppet show. A skinny old man stood beside the truck, holding one end of a rope in his hand, singing a paragraph and pulling the rope.
This is a shadow puppet show, also called a big movie show. To put it simply, it is to put some photos in the car, and then turn it with a hand rope and gears, sing a paragraph, and pull the rope. It is still very fresh and interesting.
Unfortunately, with the continuous development of the film industry, except for some children, adults rarely watch shadow puppet shows.
After all, everyone can watch movies, who would be interested in a few shabby photos?
"Hey, movie master, are you trying to cheat the kids out of their pocket money again?"
He Daqing stopped his car when he saw the skinny old man singing the lyrics, and greeted him with a smile.
The old man in front of him was surnamed Hou, and his name was Hou Dianqing. It was said that he was the grandson of the prince of the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, his family fell into poverty, and he himself was lazy and greedy. When he was young, he was an unemployed vagrant and could only make a living by selling his property.
Later, when most of the things at home were sold, he found a job as a shadow puppet show peddler, who made money by telling stories to the children. If the children had more pocket money one day, he might earn more money with them, and go to the tavern with them to have a drink in the evening. If If the kids don't come, Pian Ye won't be able to drink this little wine.
Because he is the elder of Daqianmen and works as a shadow puppeteer, he got the title of Pian Ye.
Of course, you should not look down on Pian Ye just because he is an unemployed vagrant. In fact, he is not bad. Let's not talk about other things.
Just the three-story mansion left by his ancestors is worth a lot of money. Even in this Daqianmen area, few people can afford it.
To use the words in the TV series, that is, Pian Ye's last days were stretched to the limit and he could not make ends meet, so he had to take the exam. He considered selling the courtyard house passed down from his ancestors. The only people who could afford it on this street, besides Chen Xueru, were Xu Huizhen.
Chen Xueru's Pian Ye didn't like to talk to him, because when she was the manager of the store, Chen Xueru didn't give him any face at all, which made him lose face. So for the same price, as long as Xu Huizhen said something, he would never choose anyone else.
The key point!
When Pian Ye was the manager of the silk shop, he was very tight on money and couldn't make ends meet. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
And a manager of a manager of a manager How high is the salary?
Although He Daqing didn't know, he could guess it more or less. It was much higher than that of an ordinary first-class worker.
Considering that Pian Ye's son was in the Northeast and there were not many people in Sijiu City, you can know what Pian Ye's quality of life was like.
Not to mention, in the 1960s, Pian Ye returned home in glory and made a lot of money by selling grain from the Northeast to Sijiu City and selling it to grain stations. In the end, he was reported by Fan Jinyou, but he was still safe and sound.
You can know how strong the relationship between Pian Ye's family in Sijiu City and the Northeast is.[]
Even in the 1980s and 1990s, Pian Ye contracted 20,000 mu of black soil in Northeast China to grow crops. Even if you calculate it based on the contract fee of 500 yuan per mu per year, 20,000 mu would cost tens of millions.
What was the concept of 10 million two thousand years ago? It is absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
So, don’t be fooled by the fact that Pian Ye doesn’t perform well in TV dramas, such as being an unemployed vagrant who pulls foreign films and collects rags. In fact, he has a solid foundation and his connections are also very impressive.
"Oh, it’s Brother Daqing!"
Pian Ye was not angry when he heard He Daqing’s joke, and retorted cheerfully:"I don’t agree with what you said. I make a living by my cooking skills, how can you say I’m fooling you?"
"If you go to a teahouse to listen to a song, you have to pay a few cents. I play foreign films, and I let you listen to songs and watch foreign films. I only charge one cent for each piece. Do you think it is too expensive?"
Pian Ye has a good relationship with He Daqing. They often drink and chat together in the tavern. They are long-term drinking buddies.
It is normal for the two to joke with each other after they are familiar with each other.
Especially since He Daqing helped him find his long-lost brother, which made Pian Ye look at He Daqing differently. Pian
Ye's brother is none other than Yan Fugui from the courtyard.
As for why one of them has the surname Hou and the other surname Yan?
There is a story behind this.
The story has to start from the year when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing.
When the old Buddha fled west, Pian Ye's father was still a royal guard and had the honor to escape from the capital with the old Buddha.
Yan Fugui's mother was originally a small businessman in Shanxi. The daughter of Yan Fugui was somehow favored by Pian Ye's father and became his concubine in Shanxi. He did not bring her back to Sijiucheng.
Later, the previous dynasty fell, and Pian Ye's father also died.
When Yan Fugui's grandfather heard about this, he was afraid of being conquered and liquidated by the Republic of China, so he changed Yan Fugui's name and took his mother's surname Yan. He did not tell Yan Fugui about the matter until he grew up, and sent him to Sijiucheng to attend university.
Unfortunately, time passed, and people changed.
When Yan Fugui came to Sijiucheng, Pian Ye's family had long since declined, and even the original ancestral home, the palace, could not be preserved. Only a few courtyard houses were left for living.
So Yan Fugui naturally could not return to his ancestral home.
Later, Yan Fugui Before He Daqing finished college, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Beijing fell. Yan Fugui used his connections to find a job as an elementary school teacher, married and had children, and stayed in Beijing without going back. It was not until He Daqing met Pian Ye and told him about Yan Fugui's appearance and situation that the two brothers were able to recognize each other.
Therefore, in a sense, He Daqing is still the benefactor of Pian Ye and the third uncle Yan Fugui.
The two were also very grateful to He Daqing, and their relationship was closer than that of ordinary people.
This is also the reason why Pian Ye was not angry at all after hearing He Daqing's teasing. Instead, he felt that He Daqing did not treat him as an outsider.
He Daqing also intended to make friends with Pian Ye and his brothers.
After all, he still has two The house is over there in the courtyard, and his cheap brother Cai Quanwu also lives over there in the courtyard, and needs the help of the third uncle Yan Fugui to take care of it.
As for Pian Ye?
That goes without saying.
Both Pian Ye's identity and connections are what he lacks.
After the opening up, he will definitely do business, and it is very likely to be a food business.
Since it is food, agricultural products and raw materials are indispensable.
Pian Ye has connections and contacts in the Northeast, and there are 20,000 acres of black land for growing grain. Isn't this a good partner?
So he is on good terms with Pian Ye, not only because he thinks Pian Ye has a good character and is a fair person.
More importantly, he thinks Pian Ye is worth it.
It is worth making friends with him!.
