After getting the money, Cao Zhiqiang stopped using the envelopes containing the money and took out a pile of money. Under the watchful eye of the counter staff, he put them all into the inner cloth bag of his coat and walked out of the post and telecommunications office leisurely.
There were no hundred-dollar bills at this time, and the maximum denomination was ten yuan a piece. Two thousand two hundred and eighty yuan, that is, two hundred and twenty-eight bills. Adding change, it was almost half a brick.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang's method of loading money is very sloppy. If you encounter a thief, he will be sure to grab it immediately.
It's a pity that they don't know that Cao Zhiqiang has a carry-on space, and putting it in the inner pocket is just to hide it from others.
On the contrary, if you put an envelope in it, it will be more troublesome to take the money out. It is better to just throw away the envelope and pretend to put it in the inner pocket, but actually put it in the carry-on space.
Isn’t it stupid to not use it if there is space?
Although I don’t want to be a moneylender just to be on the safe side, it’s still okay to use it as a portable safe.
Next, he had to go to the bank to cash the check for ninety-six thousand yuan. That was a lot of money, so he was very busy.
Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, after all, he took a day off today.
In fact, early this morning, he went to work to ask for leave and then came back to withdraw the money.
There was no way, he spent too much money on yesterday's big purchase, almost all his previous savings were spent, and he had to withdraw money again, otherwise it would not be enough.
Fortunately, this is not a problem. After all, if he dares to do that trick, he naturally knows it well.
Not to mention the check of 96,000 yuan that has not yet been cashed, but the quick payment of more than 2,200 yuan from Science Illustrated was enough for him to spend for a while.
"Master Yang!"
Cao Zhiqiang, who walked out of the post office, said to a young man in his early thirties who was smoking in a classic Asian squat next to him on a tricycle: "Let's go."
"Alas!" The young man called Master Yang immediately put out his cigarette on the ground, stood up and said, "Is your matter done?"
"Well!" Cao Zhiqiang walked onto the tricycle and sat down, minding his own business, "Go to the Bank of China! I mean the bank!"
"Okay!" The slender Master Yang smiled and got on the tricycle, "Sit tight, we'll walk now!"
Soon, the opponent stepped on three wheels and started directly.
Yes, this Master Yang is a tricycle rider.
This time Cao Zhiqiang came to the post and telecommunications office, not by bicycle or walking, but by riding a three-wheeler.
The advantage of three-wheelers is that they are cheap and free. As long as you pay enough, they can always wait for you, just like a private car.
Of course, taxis were also available at this time, but not only were they expensive, but they were also inaccessible in some narrow alleys. These were fine. The key point was that the taxi drivers nowadays were very good, and the service quality was particularly worrying. They were far inferior to tricycles.
The service is attentive.
Just like this Master Yang, he is obviously much older than Cao Zhiqiang, but he bows to Cao Zhiqiang, is always available, and his service is called attentive.
And for such a good full-service service, how much does Cao Zhiqiang need to pay?
Two dollars!
Yes, you can't buy a loss with two dollars, and you can't be cheated with two dollars, but you can buy a whole day's attentive service from a young tricycle driver.
It’s very profitable!
What's more, there are some places, especially some small alleys and alleys, where taxis cannot go there. Only tricycles are the most convenient.
It can be said that apart from being a little slow and a little windy, riding a three-wheeler is pretty good.
After looking at the scenery along the way, Cao Zhiqiang took a car and arrived at the bank.
As usual, Master Yang was asked to wait on the roadside while Cao Zhiqiang entered the bank by himself.
There was no problem with the procedures, but the check for 96,000 yuan was still too huge.
So the salesperson at the counter also asked the leader for instructions. After confirming that the check was OK, he asked Cao Zhiqiang to fill out a form and apply for a passbook.
At the same time, they also said that you can't get the cash today, but it can be transferred to your bank account.
But even if the money knocks over the bank book, if you want to withdraw cash, you can't take it out all at once. You have to make an appointment in advance. You can get it tomorrow morning at the earliest, and it won't be more than three working days at the latest.
Cao Zhiqiang thought that he was not in urgent need of money now. He just wanted to get some pocket money, so he first withdrew only 5,000 yuan.
This is currently the largest amount of cash he can get immediately. For more, he will have to make an appointment.
For this reason, the young female salesperson at the front desk named Tang Yanling also gave a brown paper bag as a free gift. She was also very considerate. She put a bunch of brand-new banknotes of one thousand yuan into the brown paper bag one by one, and finally gave it away respectfully with both hands.
Yes, that's a good attitude.
What, how do you know what someone’s name is?
There is a name on the sign at the front desk.
After all, it is Bank of China, which stands out as a formal and advanced company.
However, maybe the personnel management at the bank is stricter. Although the counter salesperson is a young girl with a good attitude and always provides service with a smile, she does not ask for Cao Zhiqiang's personal information like the glasses girl at the post office before.
Well, actually people don’t need to ask.
After all, when Cao Zhiqiang applied for a passbook before, he had already filled out the form with his personal information written on it.
Including where you live, what your name is, your home address, where you work, where you work, whether you have a contact number, etc., everything must be written clearly. You can’t write down even one less. It’s similar to the police checking your household registration.
So, if the other party is really serious, at least Cao Zhiqiang's home address and workplace must be clear to her.
However, Cao Zhiqiang is not that narcissistic and thinks he will be loved wherever he goes.
Especially the salespersons of big banks like Bank of China, who are well-informed, and they probably don't care about his small money.
That's right, you can't be too narcissistic as a person.
After taking out the money, Cao Zhiqiang got on the tricycle again, but this time, instead of saying where he was going, he asked about Master Yang.
"By the way, Master Yang, where do you live?"
"Me?" Master Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I live in Jinyu Alley."
"Goldfish Alley?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "You mean where the Wangfu Hotel is?"
"Wangfu Hotel?" Master Yang was stunned again, "What Wangfu Hotel?"
Cao Zhiqiang was also stunned, but he quickly reacted.
It is now 1983, and it seems that the construction of the Wangfu Hotel has not started yet. Theoretically, it should still be a civilian area.
"Oh oh oh." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I mean, isn't your home very close to Wangfujing Street?"
"That's right." Master Yang smiled, "I live at the west end of the alley, just a few steps away from Wangfujing Street."
"Ah." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then let's go to Jinyu Alley and take Wangfujing Street."
"Okay." Master Yang nodded and started riding three wheels again without asking any more questions.
Not long after, Cao Zhiqiang took a car to the west end of Jinyu Hutong, which is the intersection with Wangfujing Street.
Here, Cao Zhiqiang asked Master Yang to stop for a moment and look around at the situation around him.
Immediately afterwards, he and Master Yang came to Yang's house, put down the tricycle, and asked Master Yang to accompany him for a walk.
Although Cao Zhiqiang's request was a bit strange, since he was the one giving the money, and he asked for more money, it was natural that he would agree to it.
Anyway, Master Yang's family is very poor, so he is not afraid of being missed by thieves.
Besides, he didn't think Cao Zhiqiang was capable of being a thief.
Thieves are not like this.
Soon, Cao Zhiqiang arrived at Master Yang's house by car.
Then he discovered that Master Yang also lived in a large courtyard, but his house was shabby and small. There were two brothers, two sisters, and an old woman. There were many people in the house and the room was small. If he followed in, there would be no place to stand, so he didn't go in.
.
He is not here to understand the sentiments of the people. There is no need to have much contact with people's families. It is just a simple employment relationship.
Therefore, it is best to wait outside and avoid getting involved in other people's affairs.
After Master Yang put the car away, he quickly came out to accompany Cao Zhiqiang for a walk, acting as a temporary tour guide.
Next, Cao Zhiqiang, accompanied by Master Yang, a local snake, went shopping in Jinyu Alley.
