Chapter 445 Visit again

Early in the morning, Fang Jin woke up and found that the quilts on Wang Weizhong's bed were neatly folded, but the person had long since disappeared.

There is a note on the table.

"There's something going on at the station, you continue to look for clues about the key!"

When Fang Ning walked out of the door, Dai Jianye had already prepared the washing water, which made Fang Ning not used to it.

After briefly washing up and giving Dai Jianye a few words, he was about to go out.

"Team leader, let me follow you!" Dai Jianye said.

Wang Weizhong repeatedly told him to ensure Fang's safety now, and he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Fang Jin nodded. Although Wang Weizhong didn't say what happened, the sirens outside were loud last night, and it was obviously not peaceful. It would be better to let Dai Jianye follow him.

Anyway, it's not strange for a rich young master to have a bodyguard by his side.

The two walked through two streets, hailed a rickshaw and arrived at the agreed upon location, where they found that Lu Dayong had been waiting for him.

Lu Dayong was still holding two oil paper bags in his hand. When he saw Fang Jinjin, he smiled and came over to say hello. But when he saw Dai Jianye behind Fang Jinjin, he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.

He felt that this bodyguard had a strong murderous aura.

"Mr. Fang, you must not have had breakfast yet. The shrimp dumplings I just bought are full of soup. They are authentic, fragrant and delicious!"

Lu Dayong handed over an oil paper bag.

Fang now thanked Lu Dayong and took it over without being polite to Lu Dayong.

Lu Dayong couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that Fang was eating well now.

Before, I was worried that a wealthy young man like Fang Jin would only have bread and milk for breakfast. To be honest, he couldn't get used to eating that kind of foreign stuff.

The two of them walked and ate, and soon finished the shrimp dumplings.

Fang now saw that Lu Dayong's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. He probably didn't sleep well last night either.

Thinking about it, Wang Weizhong entrusted such an important matter to Lu Dayong, but after working hard all afternoon, he got nothing. Lu Dayong must be suffocating in his heart.

Fang's guess was correct now. Lu Dayong was awake most of the night last night. His wife thought that someone was eyeing his fat spot again, so she tried to persuade her with gentle words.

Lu Dayong, the patrol sergeant, is not a big official and has a low status, but the area under his jurisdiction is full of shops and there are many new companies and foreign firms with rich profits and profits, so he will naturally make others jealous.

The main reason why he was able to guard such a treasured land was because he was a confidant of the former director.

But a month ago, the director was transferred to Nanjing.

As the saying goes, once an emperor is like a courtier, a cheap brother-in-law of the new chief has his eye on this position, and Lu Dayong's position as police chief is no longer guaranteed.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

The area around Qinghefang is a bustling business district, and of course he doesn't want to move. Although he hasn't done anything sinister in recent years, he has made a lot of money with his black skin, and his life has been quite comfortable.

He would definitely not be happy if he was asked to live a hard life in another place.

Faced with his wife's comfort, Lu Dayong could only deal with it perfunctorily.

He had already made up his mind to keep the matter with Fang now asking the banker a secret, not to tell his parents, nor his wife and children.

This matter was handled smoothly. Maybe Wang Weizhong could say something to him at the critical moment and save his seat.

The two of them didn't stop for a moment, and continued to visit the remaining banks in the name of discussing business. Now when they checked the safes, they were talking about faults, but their eyes and brains were not idle, and they kept comparing the safes in the banks.

key.

In a blink of an eye, it was past eleven o'clock at noon, and both of them were sweating profusely.

There was only the last registered bank left. Lu Dayong wiped his sweat and said to the other party: "Mr. Fang, how about we find a place to eat and rest first?"

Fang Jin shook his head and said: "There is only one safe left. If the safe there still doesn't meet my requirements, then I will have no choice but to go to Shanghai to deposit it."

Lu Dayong immediately felt nervous after hearing this. If Fang really went to Shanghai now, his errand would be a failure. He hurriedly said: "I listen to you, let's go now!"

The last bank, called Baoxingcheng Bank, is quite large.

This bank has a good reputation in the money industry and is said to have some official background.

There is a couplet hanging at the door. The first couplet is "No money will be collected, no account will not be taken", and the second couplet is "Sand will form a tower and water will form a river."

The reason why the last family came here is mainly because this place is not within Lu Dayong's jurisdiction.

When the two of them walked into the bank entrance, the clerks were about to change shifts for dinner.

When the waiter saw that Fang was now very impressive and the small suitcase in his hand was also very heavy, he knew that he was not an ordinary customer, so he hurried forward to greet him with a smile.

Fang now really regarded this bank as the last straw, so he directly took out a five-yuan tip and pointed to the small suitcase in his hand.

"I have some pornographic goods here. If your safe is safe and confidential enough, it will be stored here."

"Master, you are really discerning. Among the banks in Lincheng are our Bao Xingcheng's safes."

The waiter didn't expect that he would be eating so late and get a tip of five yuan for no reason, and his face was already happy.

Lu Dayong on the side suddenly turned ugly when he saw the clerk's smiling face. I've been accompanying Mr. Fang all day long, my legs have become thinner, and I haven't benefited at all. Damn it, you're fine.

Got a five dollar tip for no reason.

In fact, he didn't really want to gain any benefits, it was just that because the matter had not been completed so far, he felt uncomfortable and naturally he would not look good to his clerk.

When the waiter saw the little man's unkind expression, he quickly said: "Master, you go to the lounge and have some tea first. I'll call our shopkeeper right away."

With that said, he let Fang Jinjin and Lu Dayong into a well-furnished lounge nearby, and asked his companions to serve good tea, while he trotted off to inform the shopkeeper.

Not long after, after receiving the news, shopkeeper Wei put down his chopsticks and hurried over. He was wearing a gray gown and was very smart and capable.

"My surname is Wei, Wei Yanfa, I am the shopkeeper of Bao Xingcheng. I heard that the young master has a batch of yellow goods?" Wei Yanfa said very enthusiastically.

He was an apprentice at a bank when he was fifteen years old. Now he is thirty years old. He has met countless people. The young man in front of him is gentle and calm. He is not like those exaggerated young masters. He should have a good background.

As for Lu Dayong on the side, Wei Yanfa also took a moment to look at him, and felt that this man's eyes were rolling, and at first glance he was a person who was tactful and difficult to deal with.

Fang Jin smiled faintly, nodded politely and said: "Shopkeeper Wei, this is Zou Lingfei. I came here today just to store some of the yellow goods that were used to offset my account. I wonder if the safe talisman you have here does not meet my requirements?"

"Mr. Zou, I am not boasting. Bao Xingcheng's safe deposit box business is no worse than those of big banks. I wonder how much you plan to deposit?"

Wei Yanfa's eyes had already glanced at the small suitcase in Fang Jin's hand, and he probably had an idea in his mind.

"There are ten large yellow croakers here. Of course, as I said just now, if the conditions are met, I will at least have this amount to save in your account!"

Fang now stretched out his palm and turned it over.

Only by showing great wealth can you attract enough attention from these banks. Otherwise, they will think that you don't have much wealth, and they won't even let you see the safe.

So many?

Wei Yanfa raised his brows and became excited immediately.

Nowadays, the bank's business is not easy to do. It is getting worse and worse. There has been no big business for a long time.

In the 22nd year of the Republic of China, the National Government implemented the abolition of the two reforms and the reform of the Yuan Dynasty in order to monopolize finance.

At this point, the 98-standard silver accounting standard, which had been monopolized by banks after 1856, died naturally. Banks were unable to profit from foreign currency and "silver stripping", and their business was greatly affected.

In the same year, a bank clearing house was established in Shanghai, and the bank lost its financial bill clearing function and actually became a small bank.

In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, influenced by the United States' high-priced silver policy, foreign goods were dumped, and cash continued to be concentrated from rural areas to cities, and then flowed into New York, Hong Kong and other places through foreign banks, which made China's deflation empty.

Domestic purchasing power has plummeted, causing prices of agricultural products to plummet. Some of the country's industries have declined, and the money industry's capital turnover has been poor. Some Chinese-owned banks have taken the opportunity to compete with the money industry for the market and absorb the remaining profits from circulation.

Domestic bank business has entered an ice age.

Nowadays, the boss behind Bao Xingcheng is also considering changing his course and developing into a bank, but he has been afraid to take practical action because he has nothing to sell.

Today someone actually came to deliver gold to your door. This is a pie-in-the-sky thing, don’t miss it!

Wei Yanfa wondered if he was so lucky because he stepped on dog poop when he went out today.

"I wonder if Shopkeeper Wei can take me to see your safe first? I can make a decision!"

Fang now didn't want to waste too much time. Regardless of whether Bao Xingcheng's safe was what he was looking for, he wanted to get the answer as soon as possible.

"Of course this works, but the door of the treasury can only be opened by the second shopkeeper and I using the key at the same time. The second shopkeeper went out early in the morning to do errands, and I am afraid he will not be able to come back until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. If Mr. Zou is not in a hurry, he might as well come here

Wait a minute." Wei Yanfa replied.

"Humph, I see that you Baoxing have a big family and a big business, but Shopkeeper Wei doesn't really want to do my business!"

Fang Xin's expression suddenly turned cold. Regardless of whether Wei Yanfa's words were true or false, he didn't want to waste time here.

Fang Jin curled his lips and said, "In that case, I'll change houses and have a look." After saying that, he got up and left.

The treasury is a dignified place, and generally people would not let outsiders in easily. However, seeing that Fang was now a big customer, and now that Bao Xingcheng's life and death were at stake, Wei Yanfa couldn't care less.

Just now, I just wanted to find out the background of Mr. Zou, but it seemed that the other party didn't buy it. He couldn't let go of the fat on his lips. He quickly stopped him and said:

"Hey, Mr. Zou, what are you talking about? We, Bao Xingcheng, are always sincere when we open our doors for business. There is no reason to chase the guests out of the door. Please wait for a moment, and I will send someone to find you.

The second shopkeeper is back."
