His cash was placed in a one-bedroom apartment among the many houses he had bought in bulk to move out the tenants of Huangshu's courtyard.
The reason why that apartment was not chosen was because the area of the house was too small, and it would definitely be an "old, broken, small" structure in the future.
Don't look at it, it is a house in the most shining school district among the future real estate in Beijing.
Although the highest price in the future can reach 180,000 square meters, no one is buying this house now, so it can only be left vacant for the time being.
Ning Weimin's cash totaled three million.
Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao put them in several cigarette and alcohol packaging boxes and helped Ning Weimin put them in.
So it is actually very convenient if you want to transport it.
If they take it out and put it on a tricycle, others will just think it is transporting ordinary tobacco and alcohol.
In fact, after asking the beauty where she would go to do business later, Ning Weimin only made a phone call and went back to Shan'er Hutong to find Luo Guangliang, and then arranged the money delivery.
After that, he and the beauty Zeng Xianzi went ahead and went to the trading place to wait.
This time the cash transaction took place in a compound east of Liangmaqiao.
Even though it was less than two kilometers away from the Great Wall Hotel, when they drove out of the Third Ring Road, the farther east they went, the more desolate they became.
Not even three hundred meters away, the world was completely different from the one before.
Fortunately, when we arrived at the place, the car drove along the sandy road and entered the shabby red brick courtyard wall, only to find that it was actually pretty good inside.
Although trenches, wiring, paving and extensive construction work are being carried out in this compound, many key passages are bursting with dirt and smoke.
But there are small villas that have just been built everywhere.
Away from the construction, there are green grass and towering trees.
Although it was already afternoon, the air was as fresh as early morning.
Needless to say, neither Ning Weimin nor Zeng Xianzi expected that a villa area would actually appear in the capital these days.
They couldn't help but look around curiously in the car, marveling.
Sitting in Ning Weimin's car, the beautiful woman who was responsible for leading the way saw this scene and took the initiative to introduce it.
"This is a foreign-related hotel project contracted by a mainland friend of our boss. It will probably open next year. There are not many guest rooms here, but there are catering, fitness, bars, and business services. The main profit direction is to rely on these garden villas that are rented out as a whole.
The minimum rental period of these single-family apartments is half a year, which is very suitable for foreign families who live in Beijing. Doesn’t Mr. Zeng come to Beijing often? If you want to enjoy a home atmosphere, you can also rent one, which is definitely more comfortable than staying in a hotel. And here
It’s not far from the airport and will be much more convenient.”
Ning Weimin suddenly remembered, isn't this the future Guangming Hotel?
Oops, there was no sign posted outside, and the wall was not properly repaired, so I almost didn’t remember it.
It seems that this beautiful boss really knows how to make friends.
This also explains why people in the Mainland do such hugely profitable business and have a very good reputation.
But precisely because of this, Ning Weimin also became more and more curious about the beautiful boss.
It is incredible that such a shrewd man from a port city came to the capital of the Republic to manage such a gray industry.
He couldn't figure out what kind of Hong Kong businessman was doing such a thing.
Either he is too arrogant or he is too confident.
In his previous life, he had only seen this kind of drive to make money without risking his life among the junkyard operators in Macau.
There is no way this person is Mr. He from Ma Ge or Mr. Huo from Hong Kong City, right?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, feeling that he was too good at guessing.
However, he never expected that everything he experienced next would push reality closer and closer to an answer that even he himself thought was unreliable.
Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, Ning Weimin quickly drove the car to a completed single-family building at the end and stopped.
Then he and Zeng Xianzi got out of the car and followed the beauty inside.
The hall is very luxurious, although it looks like nothing out of the ordinary from the outside. The wind is calm and the cicadas are chirping in my ears.
But as soon as he opened the door, Ning Weimin couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart.
Because things are very wrong inside.
There were many people in suits in the hall, standing or standing with stern eyes, and they stopped talking as soon as they came in.
These people are not uniformly dressed in black suits, and no one wears sunglasses.
It was different from the cards that He Jun deliberately played when Ning Weimin was in Shanghai, and it was also different from how it was played in the movie.
But the look in their eyes made Ning Weimin intuitively know that everyone here was probably a genuine Jianghu person from the port city.
This is the capital city of Beijing!
Damn it, I accidentally entered the den of a short mule. Who would believe it?
Ning Weimin was really not relaxed right now.
Although he looked calm on the outside, his mind kept thinking about the Hong Kong movies he had watched.
There are often such transactions in many movies, which appear to be peaceful but are actually dangerous.
If these people want to violate the moral principles of the world and eat his fat sheep worth tens of millions, where can they find reason?
Even if Zeng Xianzi is around, there is nothing he can do.
He is also an ordinary businessman, can his words be effective?
If I risk my life by accompanying him, I will also be hit with a huge penalty.
Ning Weimin couldn't help but start imagining the scene of his upcoming meeting with the beautiful boss. He searched her body first and then brought her in.
There must be a club brother sitting in the room inside, drinking foreign wine.
In addition to the dog-headed military advisor holding a white paper fan, there were also bewitching women on the left and right.
Maybe the beauty who brought them here is also a female killer.
Well, it's almost like Stephen Chow meeting the boss of the Ax Gang in the movie "Kung Fu".
However, his guess was both right and wrong.
First of all, he stole a glance at Zeng Xianzi next to him. The Hong Kong businessman was completely indifferent to the scene in front of him.
That calm demeanor was not an act, it was a matter of course and a confident one.
Seeing that he was so calm and composed, Ning Weimin naturally calmed down and stopped thinking wildly and trying to scare himself.
Secondly, no one searched me at all.
In full view of everyone, the beauty took them into a room upstairs to meet her boss.
There is indeed a boss, but there is no glamorous woman or dog-headed military counselor, and the female killer is even more nonsense.
And the most amazing thing is that not only did the boss not drink any foreign wine, he was lying on the ground alone and being ridden like a horse by a two or three-year-old girl.
The little girl was so excited that she shouted happily, "Drive! Drive!"
The voice is like the sounds of nature, as innocent as an angel.
When he saw someone coming in, the boss didn't stand up immediately.
Instead, he carried the little girl on his back and completed a large circle of climbing before putting the child down.
He touched her head and said, "Good boy, you and Axia go play, dad has a guest."
Then he gave the child to the beautiful woman who sent Ning Weimin and his friends in and took her away.
Ning Weimin didn't know until this moment that the beauty's original name was Axia.
At the same time, of course, I also saw clearly the appearance of the boss.
This man is younger than Zeng Xianzi, in his mid-thirties at most, thin and tall.
He doesn't look vicious at all. He wears gold-rimmed glasses and has a fair face.
If it weren't for the bright tattoos faintly exposed under his rolled-up sleeves, he could really be regarded as a handsome and wealthy young man.
This man was equally enthusiastic when he saw them. He walked over first and extended his hand to Zeng Xianzi.
"Haha, hello, Zeng Sheng. I didn't expect that we would meet here. Thank you for always taking care of our business and introducing friends to us. Thank you, thank you so much."
These few sentences are not only spoken in Mandarin, but also contain a lot of information.
Only then did Ning Weimin realize that they were also old acquaintances.
Zeng Xianzi was polite and said, "Oh, Hong Sheng, we only meet each other often if we are destined. Without your help, it would be difficult for me to do business in mainland China. The financial conditions here are really backward. We need to take care of each other and make a fortune together."
Then he introduced Ning Weimin to him.
"This Mr. Ning is an elite from the Mainland and one of the shareholders of Pierre Cardin China Company. This time he wants to invest in Japan. He will probably travel between the two places in the future. I'm afraid there will be trouble in exchanging Japanese yen.
Yours, Hong Sheng, please take good care of me in the future."
"Oh, it's easy to talk. Zeng Sheng is too polite. Just call me Teddy or Taizi."
"Hey, Hong Sheng was joking."
Zeng Xianzi turned his head to Ning Weimin again.
"This is Mr. Hong. You may not know it in the Mainland, but he is famous in Hong Kong City. He belongs to the financial company just now, and he is the real boss. He only needs to leave a message about the currency exchange.
You can rest assured."
At this time, the boss took the initiative to extend his hand and shook Ning Weimin's hand, and continued to introduce himself, appearing very approachable.
"Ning Sheng, hello. Zeng Sheng and I are old acquaintances and have done business many times. It's Zeng Sheng who makes fun of me for not being famous. But doing what you say is the foundation of business. I can definitely do it.
. I hope you will support me in my future business in mainland China. As long as you need it, just come to my financial company. As time goes by, you will know that our company's rules are more effective than contracts written in black and white. What we pay attention to is 'faithfulness'.
', you are absolutely assured of financial security. And we not only do business in mainland China and Hong Kong cities, but also in major currencies and major cities in Europe, America, and Asia. We can all do it on the same day."
"Same day?" Ning Weimin really didn't expect that the other party would have such a loud tone.
With the backward communication conditions of this era, even central bank exchange is not such a fast method.
The boss also had poisonous eyes. He could see Ning Weimin's doubts at a glance and laughed.
"I'm not bragging. Just like your business, you have to use formal banking channels to remit the money and go through formal procedures to get the money out of the country. That would be very troublesome. Mainland China is very sensitive to foreign exchange outflows.
Naturally, it’s slow, and maybe it won’t be completed within a week. But if we do it, your money won’t really be remitted. I just need to make a phone call and have someone deposit the equivalent amount of Japanese yen into your account.
That's good, then the procedure will be much simpler. To put it bluntly, we didn't occupy any foreign exchange from the mainland. We just exchanged overseas money with your money. This is the secret of our business. It depends on the number of people."
After saying this, Ning Weimin's smile froze.
He was not stupid, and he immediately understood the implication: more people? More brothers?
And it’s not just about the large number of people.
Tens of millions, millions, all over the world can immediately mobilize funds and deposit them into accounts. How much financial power and power is this?
Although it happened in the blink of an eye, Ning Weimin returned to normal immediately.
But this change in expression still did not escape Mr. Hong's eyes. He said nothing more, probably because he was afraid of having the opposite effect.
Just ask someone to come in and bring a few glasses of wine to lighten the atmosphere.
Just after finishing the drink, someone reported that the man who brought money to Ning Weimin had arrived outside the courtyard wall on three wheels.
So the matter of exchanging cash began to take action.
However, Boss Hong left full power to his subordinates to handle specific matters. He apologized and excused himself.
There is no doubt that Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao came in on tricycles and were amazed by the scenery of the villas along the way.
After meeting Ning Weimin, he couldn't help but ask what kind of place this place was.
What happened next shocked Ning Weimin even more and will never be forgotten.
Because the process of counting money by Boss Hong was so incredible.
They brought Ning Weimin and Zeng Xianzi out, but did not let them unload the truck. Instead, they directly pushed the three-wheeler into the garage.
Following the leader, a man named Shengzi took out an electronic scale from under the tool rack of the car and placed it on the ground.
Then he asked Luo Guangliang and others to open the cigarette and wine boxes and pour out the money inside.
"Boss, do you need to check the scale?" Shengzi asked according to the rules before the formal weighing.
"No, no need. Just order."
Zeng Xianzi followed the agent's instructions and then explained to Ning Weimin in a low voice.
"This is a trading method for some special businesses in Hong Kong City. Because time is tight and the transaction volume is large, large transactions are often made using scales. There is no time to really count them one by one. Even the basket has a fixed weight. As long as you know one
They can easily count the amount here due to the weight of the large amount of money. But they are very disciplined, and their financial exchange services are more efficient and thoughtful than real banks."
Sure enough, before Sheng Zai weighed it, he took out a clear basket containing money and weighed it, showing it to Ning Weimin and Zeng Xianzi.
The counter shows 0.5 kilograms.
Seeing Zeng Xianzi nodding in approval, Sheng Zai asked someone to continue stacking bundles of banknotes into the basket.
As the number on the counter continued to jump up, until it showed 11.99 kilograms, Shengzi asked someone to write down one hundred thousand.
Then pour the basket of money into another open space, and then use the same method to calculate the next one hundred thousand.
Ning Weimin stood aside and watched the whole process, calculating in his heart.
Although he was shocked at first because he had never heard of counting money like this, let alone witnessed it with his own eyes.
However, for him, whose heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys are all made of abacus beads, he is born to be particularly sensitive to money figures.
After weighing the third hundred thousand, he had already calculated the standard for these people to weigh money based on his own understanding.
A stack of "Great Unity" with a face value of ten yuan should weigh two or three.
So ten thousand yuan is two catties and three liang, one point one and a half kilograms, so isn't one hundred thousand yuan equal to eleven and a half kilograms?
Add in the weight of the basket, so theoretically when the counter shows 12 kilograms, it's 100,000 yuan.
Of course, it is normal to have some differences, so sometimes it is 11.96 and sometimes it is 11.99.
However, from this point of view, we can also see the kindness of these short mules, because most of the time they are under twelve kilograms, and rarely above, which is of course more suitable for Ning Weimin.
Just like that, in about twenty minutes, the money brought by Ning Weimin was weighed.
The efficiency is so high that it will definitely make people in the bank dumbfounded.
After that, Shengzi and his people put the "golden mountain" on the ground into the tobacco and alcohol boxes and moved it to the second floor of the villa.
At this time, Mr. Hong appeared again, and graciously offered to treat Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin to dinner.
Of course, Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin understood that this was a courtesy and thanked them one after another.
So Mr. Hong insisted on asking Zeng Xianzi and Ning Wei to call Hong Kong City to check their accounts.
Not surprisingly, the check of 3 million yuan exchanged two hours ago has been transformed into 195 million yen and deposited into it.
This three million cash can be queried in two hours.
When it was time to see them off, Mr. Hong not only took out two bottles of Rémy Martin X0 gift boxes and presented them to Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin respectively, but also gave Ning Weimin a private business card without any name.
This time I said to him very sincerely, "We all have busy lives, so I won't force you to stay. Anyway, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future. What's more, Mr. Ning's Tan Gong Restaurant is famous in the capital and is one of the top restaurants."
It’s a great Chinese restaurant. I’m really suspected of being embarrassed when I treat guests. Well, I also have business in Japan. Mr. Ning’s branch in Japan will definitely open. Please inform me. I will ask people to come and support you, and I will give you at least a dozen
A flower basket. If Ning Sheng comes to Hong Kong City when he is free, that would be even better. Then I will continue to serve as a landlord."
Ning Weimin also took advantage of the situation and started talking about the situation, thus ending this "fantasy journey".
Unlike Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, who had to ride three-wheelers back, Ning Weimin and Zeng Xianzi left in an American jeep.
However, when we returned, the car was surprisingly quiet, and neither Ning Weimin nor Zeng Xianzi spoke.
As for Ning Weimin himself, the more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and the more he thought about it, the more familiar the name on the business card became.
Suddenly, a flash occurred in my mind, and I finally thought of who Mr. Hong I saw today was.
In the Internet age, there are many rumors about him, and many people compare him with Du Yuesheng back then.
The legendary thing about this person is that he is not only the most educated person among the people in the mixed society, but also has a doctorate degree.
He is also the prototype of the boss in the movies "Young and Dangerous" and "Infernal Affairs", and was imprisoned for this.
Ah, that's right, counting the time, it seems to be almost here.
"Mr. Zeng, that Mr. Hong is... is fourteen..."
Unable to bear it anymore, Ning Weimin finally asked Zeng Xianzi.
Zeng Xianzi's reaction was even more surprising, "Don't say that word. Huh? Do you know him? Has his fame spread to the mainland?"
Then his face turned serious.
"In this case, I must remind you that it has nothing to do with him doing this kind of business. Many businessmen in Hong Kong City are his customers. Banks only rely on these people to make money. But you don't
So that you don't get involved with him in other ways. Even if it's 100% legal, don't cooperate with him in restaurants, bars, clubs. Although he is a smart person in the club, he wants to clear his name, and he has started to do social work.
It's a public welfare thing. But this kind of person has too much trouble in the past, and the people around him will also get into trouble. If he doesn't get it right, the whole project will be ruined. It seems that someone in Hong Kong City has been checking him. If you can see him in the mainland, I'm afraid
There is also this reason.”
Ning Weimin knew that Zeng Xianzi had good intentions and admired him for being able to hit the mark with his experience, so he naturally agreed repeatedly.
But having said that, I still couldn't help but be lost in thought while driving.
For no other reason than to do business with this person, it's so magical.
This is a legendary figure who claims to have twelve celebrity girlfriends, who can allow Liu Luanxiong to personally escort beautiful women to have dinner with him. In the future, he will change his mind and serve as a pastor to save delinquent youths.
Who would have thought that by changing exchange rates in the capital, one would end up joining the world of martial arts?
Oops, now that I’ve seen the real boss, I probably won’t be able to watch Hong Kong police and gangster movies anymore.
