During this period, as the international situation was turbulent, the economy was generally weak, and inflation was high, gold once again became the favor of various countries.
Unfortunately, the annual output is only so much, and there are not many channels to buy more.
Since the last delivery of two tons of gold, Chu Chen came to the door in accordance with the above intention, hoping that Yang Fan could help solve some bulk gold.
More than a month has passed, and the eldest lady has been busy with the land in Xigou District, bidding for road construction.
Now that the funds have been secured, we plan to build the tunnel first and open the national highway. Then the equipment can be put in for further development.
Chu Chen didn't dare to disturb her too much. The eldest lady had a bad temper. If she got angry, he wouldn't be able to hold it back.
Lin Miao and Sun Xing, wearing safety helmets, stood in a temporary shed built on the top of the mountain. They watched surveying and mapping personnel running all over the mountain.
On the one hand, I looked at the drawings with the chief engineer of the construction unit and discussed with them.
Lin Miao's WeChat message suddenly rang. When he opened it, it turned out to be Brother Yang, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.
"The gold is ready. You contact the relevant parties to prepare to receive the goods. The price will be the same as last time. In addition, I have a request. I hope to give us a banking license."
"Brother Yang, you are so amazing. Did you get another large amount of gold so quickly?" Lin Miao replied excitedly.
Gold is not a simple thing. If Yang Fan is ready to deliver it, it must be more than one ton. But it is not easy to get a banking license.
"Brother Yang, how much did you get?" Lin Miao asked.
"One thousand tons"
"A thousand, that's a lot, what, a ton. A thousand tons!!!" Lin Miao was stunned.
Sun Xing's eyes also widened. This is not scrap iron or copper ingots. One thousand tons, is this gold cabbage?
"You read that right, it's a thousand tons of gold, all with a purity of three nines, in one-kilogram gold bricks. You can contact the relevant parties, and if they agree, they can be delivered at any time."
Sun Xing and Lin Miao were both stunned.
Lin Miao was the one who reacted quickly. She absolutely believed that Xiao Yang would never lie. From her understanding, Xiao Yang was always a man of one hundred and fifty and would never brag.
"By the way, is Xingzi here? Ask her to contact Huang Ying. I have a batch of gold objects, which are all palace utensils from the Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty. I am going to hold a special auction. This batch of goods has arrived at the warehouse in a neighboring province.
Please contact Huang Ying to organize an appraisal as soon as possible."
In the imperial capital, an important meeting is being held.
"The current gold collection and storage task has completed about 2,160 tons, and there is still more than 800 tons left to complete the task. But seeing that there is still more than a month left, the task is still very arduous," said a gray-haired leader.
"It takes half a mile to travel a hundred miles. Now we have contacted all the channels we can think of. There are more than 800 tons left that we really can't get out. We really can't afford to pay a high price and see if we can buy some from the international market."
"No, as soon as we make a move, everyone will know about it immediately, and the price will skyrocket."
"How about secretly buying some from the international black market."
"How to transport it back? What should I do if such a large investment is at risk?"
Everyone was a little silent. Such a large amount of wealth would definitely be confiscated if detected by foreign countries. This loss is too great and cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof.
For a moment, there was some silence in the conference room.
At this time, the old man presiding over the meeting and the secretary behind him suddenly felt their mobile phones vibrate. Because they were in a meeting, they had set their phones to mute.
He took it out and looked at it a little unhappy. He was attending an important meeting and repeatedly told him not to disturb his meeting with his boss.
However, when he saw that it was someone from the state council, he knew that there must be something important. He immediately sat up straight, opened it carefully, and started reading.
The more I looked at him, the more excited I became, and the more I looked at him, the more shocked I became.
Who is this Mr. Yang? The problem that so many people are helpless to solve has been solved in just a short time.
"Are you sure this person is reliable? I have to report to the leader and he must be reliable."
"Based on our assessment, this person is very reliable."
"Okay, you want a bank to take pictures, right? I'll report it to the leader."
The secretary quickly lowered his head and whispered in the old man's ear.
The old man sat there, watching the discussion without saying a word, not changing his expression as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Sitting there, his momentum was like a mountain peak.
At this time, there was finally some emotion on his face. He knew the director of the National Security Bureau very well. He was very reliable and had never fallen behind.
The old man thought for a moment and nodded: "On behalf of me, please reply that the gold purchase price can be agreed to. The bank license, if it is a sole proprietorship, can be given to a provincial-level local bank at most. If you want a national license, you must
Accept state-owned capital investment, and the state-owned capital must be the largest shareholder. Management rights can be negotiated. And if it is nationwide, I have to report to the superiors, and I can't make the decision."
The news soon reached Yang Fan.
Yang Fan frowned and thought. Supposedly, he wanted a national bank license. But at present, he knew that national banks are all joint-stock companies, and it would be very troublesome to have too many shareholders.
Local city commercial banks don't have to go through such trouble and can be acquired, but it's not worth paying such a high price for them.
It seems that a provincial bank license from a first-tier city is the best option.
"If you want one at the level of Magic City, let's call it Magic City Small and Micro Enterprise Bank. If the higher-ups agree, I will give you the address where the gold is stored immediately. Shareholders can use every company in our system to invest 10% of the shares, and the remaining
I hold it personally. Half of the money from this gold delivery will be used as the capital of this bank."
This request was not excessive, and the superiors quickly agreed.
An hour later, the National Bank's motorcade arrived and picked up Sun Xing and Lin Miao.
Half an hour later, following Yang Fan's constant instructions to Lin Miao, the convoy finally stopped outside the mouth of an abandoned mine in Xigou District, not too far from here.
State security personnel immediately blocked all intersections in the area.
Xigou District used to be rich in coal mines, but after continuous mining from the late Qing Dynasty to the 1980s, the coal resources were exhausted and many mines were abandoned. Here is an abandoned mine tunnel with the door ajar.
It's not very deep inside, only about fifty meters. The back is sealed with cement to prevent anyone from encountering danger when going down.
Chu Chen took people in to take a look. It was filled with elm boxes with simple shapes, which looked antique. At first glance, they were not in a modern style.
Chu Chen knew that Yang Fan was engaged in antiques, so he probably had some bad taste from people in this industry, so he didn't take it seriously.
These boxes were all sealed, and he did not dare to touch them. He set up a warning and retreated.
An hour later, Bureau Chen hurried over with a large number of armed police and escort armored vehicles.
As soon as Director Chen got out of the car, he saw Sun Xing and Lin Miao. He walked towards them.
"Hello, Xiao Sun." Bureau Chen stretched out his hand to shake Sun Xing's hand first.
"Hello, leader," Sun Xing said respectfully.
"Hello, Uncle Chen." Lin Miao said obediently.
"You little girl, you have done a great job this time. Are all the things in there?"
"It's all in the box. We haven't opened it, so we don't know exactly how many there are," Lin Miao said.
"Let's go in and take a look together. I hope Mr. Yang can give us another surprise this time."
As Bureau Chen entered the tunnel, a large number of appraisers and bank vault personnel swarmed in. Chu Chen asked someone to bring a box. He studied it and opened it carefully.
At this time, LED lights have been installed in the tunnel, shining brightly.
When the lid is opened, there is a straw curtain inside.
Gold is relatively soft. If there is no shock absorption, the bump will cause the gold brick to deform. In the late Ming Dynasty, shock absorption basically used straw.
An expert opened the straw curtain, and suddenly a dazzling flower bloomed.
Rows of gold bricks, beautifully cast, lie there quietly.
The expert at the top treasury narrowed his eyes, and his intuition told him that all the gold should be real.
Then, he carefully picked up a piece and gave it to the technicians for identification. The result soon came out. It was 1,000 grams of pure gold.
Director Chen breathed a long sigh of relief. He judged that Yang Fan was a very reliable person, but he did not expect that he could get so much gold. When he reported to the superiors, he was also sweating.
Seeing that the technicians were already busy, Director Chen and others withdrew. The gold amounted to one million yuan, and it was impossible to test all of it here. After a random inspection, some must be transported to the highest vault for safekeeping immediately, and each piece of gold should be inspected one by one.
Detection.
Three days later, the leader of the Supreme Treasury came to see Sun Xing and Lin Miao. They sent the receipt. One thousand tons of gold were genuine and had been received into the Supreme Treasury.
So far, the task of collecting and storing gold has been completed one month ahead of schedule.
After deducting personal income tax, the funds have been transferred to Yang Fan's personal account.
Ding Dong, Yang Fan was inspecting the newly established machine tool workshop when suddenly his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message, notifying the bank of funds arriving.
Looking at the string of zeros, Yang Fan was still a little dizzy even though he was no longer short of money.
"Stop looking, be careful of fainting." Yao Guang said, holding his arm.
“Even though it’s a lot of money, in fact, if it’s used for big things, it won’t be able to do many things.”
Yang Fan smiled and said: "There are thousands of units, there is nothing they can't do."
"I'm just going to say something casually. Even if you throw all this money into it, you may not be able to succeed." Yao Guang continued to pour cold water on him to prevent him from drifting off.
"What industry?" Yang Fan asked with interest.
"There are too many. Like the engine, isn't it said that Hyundai has serious heart problems? After so many years, it has not imported a large number of German MTU. The difference between the aircraft's military and civilian uses is not small. There are also chips. Thousands of them will be smashed.
You may not even hear a sound."
"Yeah, it seems that I really want to do something big, but the money may not be enough." Yang Fan was poured cold water by Yao Guang, and he immediately calmed down.
Also, whoever suddenly made such a big fortune must have just drifted away.
“But with this money, we can really do some important projects that no one in the country is willing to invest in.
