Zuo Shaoqing realized that she could not agree with everything and it was only reasonable that she should express her opposition.
She smiled and said: "Comrade manager, I don't want to touch the US dollars and gold. I want to leave it for later."
The manager said seriously: "I'm sorry, Comrade Zuo, this is the superior's rule."
Zuo Shaoqing put on an argumentative appearance and said, "But this is my private property. It should be my right to deal with it."
The manager waved his hands and said: "I'm also very sorry. These are indeed state regulations. In the past, we couldn't move without your signature without your absence, so we still keep these foreign exchange and gold. Now that you are here, we must
It was done in accordance with the country’s regulations.”
"Do I have no other choice?" Zuo Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is no other choice. These are state regulations, and all foreign exchange and gold are uniformly managed by the state."
In such a situation, Zuo Shaoqing needed to turn around, so he turned his attention to Liu Qiuyue and looked at her with a smile.
Liu Qiuyue was extremely smart and naturally understood what she meant. She had been very nervous before and her face was serious. At this time, she waved her hands and said with a very unhappy look: "I don't care, it's you who decided anyway.
If there is any trouble in the future, it's up to you to explain it, it's none of my business." As he said that, he turned his face to the side.[
Zuo Shaoqing turned to the manager and said with a smile: "We have some troubles at home. Can we discuss it and keep some of it for me?"
The manager shook his head, "I'm really sorry, I have to hand it over. Please bear with me."
Zuo Shaoqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then, let's do it. Is there anything else?"
The manager said: "There is a third thing. In this account, there are also some investments abroad, such as investing in London stocks, investing in Hong Kong foreign exchange, etc. In the past, these investments have been recovered, but no one has signed for them.
, so it is still pending on the account, and I need to ask you to sign for it one by one. This matter will take some effort. "
Zuo Shaoqing suddenly remembered that when Ye Gongjin imprisoned Du Ziyuan in Xufu Lane, he wanted him to recover these investments. Looking at it now, these investments have indeed been recovered, but Ye Gongjin did not have time to sign for them.
She smiled and said, "I know about this. We took it back before liberation, right?"
The manager smiled and nodded, "Exactly."
Zuo Shaoqing said: "It was quite chaotic at the time. The family was busy with other things, so this matter was delayed. Comrade Manager, do we also have to hand over the foreign exchange?"
The manager smiled and nodded again, "Yes."
Zuo Shaoqing waved his hand, "Forget it, just follow the national regulations." Then he turned around and said, "Qiuyue, don't be unhappy, this is the only way."
Liu Qiuyue waved her hand and said, "I don't care, as long as you give me money."
When the manager heard this, he made a gesture to the two clerks sitting at the door. The two clerks immediately started busy.
The next process was very long. The two clerks were clicking their abacus, filling out the documents one by one, running to the desk to make phone calls, running out to get the account books or sending telegrams. Then they handed out the documents one by one.
Send it to the manager and ask him to sign it. After the manager signs it, he hands it to Zuo Shaoqing. Zuo Shaoqing carefully stamps his seal on the document, and then hands it to Liu Qiuyue to read.
The figures on each receipt were very large, which shocked Liu Qiuyue. But she always curled her lips and threw the receipts on the table with a look of disdain.
It took a full two hours for all the accounting procedures to be completed.[
Zuo Shaoqing turned to Liu Qiuyue and said, "Qiuyue, don't be angry. All the money will be transferred to your name. Is this okay?"
Liu Qiuyue said: "I want cash! I want it now!"
Zuo Shaoqing turned to the manager and said, "Please, please transfer all the money to her name. In addition, can you withdraw another 10,000 yuan in cash?"
The manager nodded repeatedly, "Okay, no problem."
After another half hour, a newly issued deposit certificate and ten bundles of ten-yuan bills were neatly placed in front of them. Zuo Shaoqing put the deposit certificate into his own without even looking at it.
In his pocket, he only put the ten bundles of banknotes in front of Liu Qiuyue.
Liu Qiuyue did her job, took out the canvas bag that she had prepared, and put the banknotes neatly into it.
The manager smiled broadly, rubbed his hands and shook hands with them one by one to say goodbye.
Zuo Shaoqing could see that the cleanup of this account must be a major achievement for him.
Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Qiuyue left the bank and hailed a tricycle outside the door.
Sitting in the car, Zuo Shaoqing said with a smile: "Qiuyue, I didn't expect that we went quite smoothly, didn't we?"
Liu Qiuyue also covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister, I'm quite nervous. I'm so worried that they will call the police station."
"Me too. But the manager is also quite happy."
"Sister, you don't know that the money in this account used to be just a number. It was neither a deposit nor a loan. Now, a large amount of deposits have suddenly been added to his bank. Of course he is happy." She
He patted the canvas bag in his arms and said, "Sister, we have 10,000 yuan now. It's so heavy!"
"Now, all our funding problems have been solved."
"Sister, it's 10,000 yuan. All problems are solved." Liu Qiuyue's face turned red with joy.
It’s no wonder that people today don’t take 10,000 yuan seriously. But at that time, it was a really huge sum of money. Many years later, China will enter the period of reform and opening up, and society will
When a small group of rich people finally appeared, they were called "ten thousand yuan households". From this, we can know what ten thousand yuan means to Liu Qiuyue.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing took out the deposit receipt and handed it to Liu Qiuyue.
Liu Qiuyue counted with her fingertips, opened her mouth and said, "Sister, there are more than 170,000 yuan in total! Ye Gongjin really saved a lot of money. In fact, we have only these 10,000 yuan, which is enough."
Zuo Shaoqing smiled and said: "If we don't keep it for him, it can be regarded as his support for us."
Liu Qiuyue said with a smile: "Now, I can buy everything I want to buy."
Zuo Shaoqing also smiled, "Go ahead and buy whatever you need."
However, Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Qiuyue were so happy, but Ye Gongjin who was far away in Taipei was not happy. These were all his private money.
About a week later, Ye Gongjin learned this sad news. However, this sad news also convinced him that his previous judgments about Zuo Shaoqing were accurate.
By the afternoon of that day, Liu Qiuyue put a full two hundred yuan in her pocket, all in ten-yuan bills, and went straight to the Confucius Temple Scrap Hardware and Electronics Store. In today's terms, she was going to
Went to "Taobao".
The scrap hardware and electrical appliances store that Liu Qiuyue went into was made up of several old houses with uneven heights, dark and chaotic buildings. There were rickety wooden shelves standing on the walls, filled with various electrical appliances.
, parts, wires and many other indescribable things. There are several long tables in the middle, which are scattered with various electrical components and hardware accessories. All the things are dirty, old and incomplete.
Incomplete, covered in dust.
Liu Qiuyue shuttled between the shelves and tables, looking for what she wanted.
She walked to a corner of the room. When she came here yesterday, she noticed that there was a vertical radio on the shelf next to the wall. This was an Asia-American five-lamp radio, which was exactly what she wanted.
A sort of.
During the Anti-Japanese War, she fled to Wuhan with her aunt and her family. In Hankou, she attended a radio and television training class run by the military command. One of the classes was to learn the receiver part of a shortwave radio station through a radio. The teaching aid used was this
Yamei brand radio. Her teacher spoke highly of this radio and thought it was the top radio in China. It could even be ranked among the best in the world. The teacher also made an extremely detailed review of this radio.
Explanation. This class gave Liu Qiuyue a deep understanding and memory of this radio.
Even if she recalls it today, the various functions of this radio are still fresh in her memory.
This Yamei brand superheterodyne five-lamp radio was produced by Shanghai Wire & Electric Co., Ltd. in 1935. However, its internal circuit was designed by an American company, and the tubes used were specially designed by the American R Company.
Custom made for this radio.
This set of electronic tubes is called "America Point" in the industry. It was originally intended to be an "OEM" product produced by an American company for a Chinese company. This is exactly the opposite of today's "OEM" products produced by Chinese companies for foreign companies.
.But to this day, the four words "Amepoint" have become praise for this set of tubes, indicating that its quality is indeed superior.
What Liu Qiuyue is interested in is the shortwave frequency band of this Yamei brand radio, which is famous for its sensitivity and clarity.
However, the radio that Liu Qiuyue saw was broken, and its price was only fifteen yuan. Now, Liu Qiuyue had a full two hundred yuan in her pocket, and she confidently asked the boss standing at the counter in the corner of the room.
walk over.
The fat, bald boss leaned over the counter and was reading a newspaper.
Liu Qiuyue judged that he was probably fifty years old. The most conspicuous thing on his slightly swollen face were his large eyeballs and his small, sparkling eyes.
He had noticed that the young girl was walking towards him. He took off the cigarette from her mouth and looked at her with inquiring eyes to judge whether she was a sincere buyer.
Liu Qiuyue walked to the counter and asked with a smile: "Boss, what's your surname?"
The fat boss nodded to her and said, "My surname is Tu. Is there anything you like?"
Liu Qiuyue turned back and pointed to the radio on the shelf, "Boss Tu, what, that radio is broken?"
He glanced over there and said, "Yes, it's bad."
Liu Qiuyue said: "Why not repair it. If it is good, I want to buy it."
