Chapter 16 The King's Confidence
Bow and thank Mr. Fengshen Yu for his monthly ticket support.
At the exit of Binhai Railway Station, a young man and woman walked out of the exit with the flow of people. The woman was very beautiful and dressed very fashionably. There was no man who didn't want to take a second look at her, even if it was just a look. But behind her
The man next to him is relatively ordinary, which makes people even more jealous. This man is very handsome. The man and woman are Zhou Ming and Su Han who came to Binhai.
Leaning next to Zhou Ming, Su Han asked Zhou Ming: Zhou Ming, is my aunt biased against me? You didn't quarrel with your 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 was affected by the rumors in the factory. My mother is still very open-minded.
Zhou Ming, please don’t quarrel with your aunt. Don’t quarrel over me. It’s not worth it. I know my reputation is not good.
Before Su Han could finish speaking, Zhou Ming held Su Han's hand and said, "What are you talking about? You have a very good reputation. You can't look down on yourself like this. I said you will always be the purest and most beautiful in my heart."
Xiaohan, I won't allow you to look down on yourself like this. When we become rich and powerful in the future, I will help you get revenge, and my mother will definitely change her view of you.
Su Han was very moved: Thank you Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming and Su Han came to Binhai to exchange treasury bills. According to Zhou Ming's memory, the interest rate on Binhai's treasury bills at this time reached a terrifying two cents. It was precisely because of this extremely high interest rate that Zhou Ming made sure that his father's body had fully recovered.
, after the mother's health was no longer any problem, she came to Binhai City with the 200,000 treasury bills collected by Mr. Gou.
They carried two large bags with two hundred thousand treasury bonds. For safety reasons, Zhou Ming and Su Han took a taxi directly to the hotel and went directly to the Peace Hotel.
The Peace Hotel is a very old hotel on the Qingpu River. Of course, Zhou Ming chose to stay 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 banks.
All the branches are concentrated here, so it is very convenient to exchange treasury bills. In addition, I am worried that the amount I want 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.
After booking a room at the Peace Hotel, Zhou Ming and Su Han immediately carried their bags and went to the nearest bank. As soon as they walked into the bank, Su Han pulled Zhou Ming's clothes and said excitedly: Zhou Ming, look, the interest rate here is
Two cents is really high, three points higher than Jiangxia City.
It turns out that there is an LED display board hanging on the wall at the entrance of the bank. The interest rate on the bank's treasury bills displayed on it is exactly 21%, which is commonly known as 21 cents interest.
This interest is simply unimaginable in later generations, because according to this interest rate, the interest on a five-year treasury bill with a face value of 100 yuan after maturity will be about 110 yuan, which is already more than the principal.
This obviously does not comply with the basic rules of national bonds, but this particular time
In order to raise funds as much as possible to support the country's reform and opening up policy, as well as the country's overall development plan, coupled with the fact that domestic residents do not have a clear understanding of the national debt, no one subscribes to the national debt, and the country has no choice but to sell the national treasury bonds.
The interest rate has increased to such an outrageous level.
I used to think that I was born at the wrong time, but now it seems that this era is really full of gold.
Zhou Ming laughed at himself in his mind, and went to the bank counter with Su Han and said: Hello, comrade, I want to exchange 200,000 treasury bills.
The lady at the bank counter was stunned for a moment. She stared at Zhou Ming with a pair of beautiful eyes and asked: How many treasury bills did you just say you wanted to redeem?
Zhou Ming patted his bulging bag and said: Two hundred thousand.
The lady at the counter took a breath of air-conditioning: Oh my god, you are a big capitalist.
These words made Zhou Ming feel a little speechless. With only 200,000 treasury bills, he was a big capitalist. However, thinking about it, 200,000 was indeed a large amount in this era. But if she could see that more than 20 years later, any rich man would
If the car driving costs hundreds of thousands or even millions, I don't know how she would feel.
However, the counter lady was surprised, but the business she was doing was still unambiguous. Of course, because the amount Zhou Ming needed to exchange was too large, for safety reasons, Zhou Ming was invited to the reception room inside the bank to wait.
, after ten minutes of counting and calculation, it was concluded that the total principal plus interest was more than 390,000 yuan.
Comrade, you have so much money, do you want to withdraw it now in cash or apply for deposit business? I suggest you do the deposit business, because it is too unsafe to have such a large amount of money with you. The counter lady said to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming smiled slightly: Thank you, but no need. I will leave with 90,000 yuan, and the rest will be transferred to the account of Dai Zhenjiang, director of the Agricultural Bank of China in Nanhui County, Linyang City, Jinghu Province.
This is the division of accounts that Zhou Ming and Dai Zhenjiang had discussed before coming to Binhai. It includes Zhou Ming's original principal, plus the agreed-upon interest, and the rest is the money advanced by Dai Zhenjiang and Gou Ye.
The lady at the counter said yes and went to handle the procedures for Zhou Ming. After a while, she brought back the remittance receipt and the 50,000 yuan that Zhou Ming wanted to withdraw and gave them to Zhou Ming.
After getting the remittance receipt and 90,000 yuan, Zhou Ming got 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 yuan back. If only the 390,000 yuan were mine.
Zhou Ming, you are really greedy. Su Han enlightened Zhou Ming and said, we don’t have that much principal. Originally, we had to borrow loan sharks and go door to door to collect treasury bills. Now we don’t have to do anything, just wait for Director Dai.
It’s amazing to be able to earn so much money by sending treasury bills to us, and then taking a trip to Binhai City, without even paying for accommodation and food for the round trip to Binhai.
Indeed, according to what Su Han said, it was the same. He just came to Binhai for a business trip at public expense and earned tens of thousands of dollars. If he told other people in the factory, they would be extremely envious. But for Zhou Ming, he
After being reborn, just making a few dollars is definitely not enough. But if you want to make big money, you have to wait for the opportunity. There is no rush.
Thinking like this, Zhou Ming said to Su Han: Since we finally came to Binhai, let's take a good tour of the beautiful Bund.
Is this a date? Su Han's sudden words made Zhou Ming stunned for a moment, and then Su Han said, OK
After saying that, Su Han took Zhou Ming's hand and came to the street of the Bund. At this time, the Bund was not as developed as it was in later generations. There were not so many high-rise buildings in the entire Binhai, and there was very little traffic on the street.
There are many bicycles and even some tricycles pulling goods. Of course, there is no smog that has been criticized in later generations.
Zhou Ming, come and take a look. There are people taking photos here.
Just when Zhou Ming was stunned, Su Han waved to him desperately. Zhou Ming followed Su Han and saw that there was indeed a roadside photo studio. Seeing Su Han's happy look reminded Zhou Ming of countless people more than twenty years later.
Take a selfie with your mobile phone. It seems that women, whether they are now or twenty years from now, like to take pictures.
Over there is the Peace Hotel, a landmark building on the Bund and a legendary hotel in the past. People who can live there are either rich or noble, so just use that one. The photographer suggested.
Master, you are wrong to say that. Now is the era when the people are the masters of the country. The Peace Hotel is just an ordinary hotel. All ordinary people can live in it. It is not the exclusive property of some powerful people. We also live there. Su
Han said to the photographer with a smile.
The photographer was surprised when he heard this and said: No way. I heard that it costs more than 100 yuan to live there for a day, which even many Binhai locals can't afford.
Zhou Ming and Su Han didn't explain much to him. Zhou Ming looked back at the Peace Hotel, then at the other side of the Qingpu River, and said to the photographer: Just take this picture, and then take the Pudong side.
Zhang it.
The Pudong photographer looked back at the sparse bungalows on the other side of the Qingpu River, and said in confusion that the good things over there were all rotten houses.
There are a lot of rotten houses now, but maybe it won’t be like this in a few years. If it takes another ten years, land will be at a premium there. There is a saying that I would rather have a bed in Pudong than a bed in Puxi.
Fang. Zhou Ming said.
Little brother, you said it the other way around, Binhai people said that they would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong. The photographer corrected him.
Master, what you are talking about is the present, and what I am talking about is the future.
Zhou Ming said with certainty that he and Su Han had a few possibilities. Zhou Ming said to Su Han with some regret: It's a pity that we don't have enough money now. How about we buy a piece of land in Pudong now, and we will be rich in ten years.
The photographer silently took pictures of Zhou Ming and Su Han, then walked up to Zhou Ming and bowed deeply: "Comrade, can you tell me why you are so sure that Pudong will develop well? My name is Wang Qiangguo."
, I am now helping with a municipal project.
Wang Qiangguo
This name made Zhou Ming's heart skip a beat. Zhou Ming took a closer look at the photographer and suddenly discovered that this man would be the richest man in China twenty years later and the founder of China's largest real estate group. Zhou Ming could often see him online.
His photos are still very familiar to me. I recall that he was indeed running projects all over the country at this time, but I didn't expect to see him here.
While being surprised, Zhou Ming couldn't help but feel the magic of fate. If he was really that real estate tycoon, then if he told him the value of Pudong now, wouldn't that mean that he would point out the richest man in China?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Wang Qiangguo: If someone else asks me, I will not answer, but if you ask me, Master Wang, I will tell you. The reason why I make this judgment is very simple. First, Puxi is so prosperous.
, but across the river there is a slum area in Pudong. Is this normal? Secondly, Puxi is such a big place.
If the development continues, what should we do if one day the development of Puxi comes to an end? Should we expand to other places? Finally, the country is now implementing the grand strategy of reform and opening up. In other words, our country will eventually open its door to the ocean.
Pudong is the place closest to the sea and has the best natural port. Why not develop it?
After hearing this, Wang Qiangguo bowed deeply to Zhou Ming and said with emotion: Listening to your words, little brother, is better than ten years of reading. My little brother, you are really insightful and made me understand a lot.
Su Han proudly said: Of course, Zhou Ming is a college student.
Yes, little brother is more far-sighted than me. Wang Qiangguo said, may I take the liberty to ask, what is your last name?
My name is Zhou Ming. One day you will see me on TV, newspapers and magazines. Zhou Ming said.
Wang Qiangguo looked at Zhou Ming dumbfounded. If anyone else had said this to him, Wang Qiangguo would have scoffed and said it was the arrogance of young people. After all, in his mind, people who can appear on TV or in newspapers and magazines,
They are all great people, but for Zhou Ming, he believes that Zhou Ming can definitely do what he says.
