Chapter 185 A sigh
After the reunion dinner, Qin Chuan sent his eldest brother and sister-in-law home, and his "father-in-law and mother-in-law" also went back to their rooms to rest.
Qin Chuan asked about the number of jewelry that he received for Tang Yifei today. Under the anxious eyes of Tang Yifei and his two sisters-in-law, he went to the living room and ordered "Fei Wenyuan", one of the nine famous silver houses in Shanghai.
Make a phone call and ask for their large high-end jewelry boxes. Madam will inspect the goods in person and pay for them.
Among the nine time-honored silver shops in Shanghai, Fei Wenyuan Silver House is neither the oldest nor the largest, but it has the best craftsmanship and quality. It is especially good at making gold, jade, diamond and other high-end jewelry, weddings
Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei went to his store and bought more than 100,000 yuan worth of jewelry.
Jewelry boxes are naturally used to store jewelry. Qin Chuan's words not only made Tang Yifei smile with joy, but her eyes shone with uncontrollable brilliance.
Qin Chuan greeted his two brothers and sister-in-law, and then took Tang Yifei upstairs to his study.
Qinchuan's villa was proposed and arranged before construction. This villa is the only large villa in the entire new area. There are twelve rooms downstairs, excluding the kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, washroom and a study room.
The studio and six guest rooms are currently used by Zhao Yi and the servants. After the Tang family came, they had to live on the second floor.
On the second floor, in addition to a large bedroom with a bathroom and toilet where Qin Chuan lives, there is also his study room and a living room, which occupy the entire right side of the second floor. There are four large guest rooms on the left side, which also have
The people who arranged the bathrooms and toilets made many mistakes, so after the Tang family came to Shanghai, they all lived on the second floor.
Opening the door of the study room, they saw several large suitcases and a dozen smaller suitcases placed on the ground. Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei opened them one by one. The big suitcases contained French currency, while the smaller suitcases contained
They were all heavy, yellow-orange gold bars, and there was also a small suitcase containing some golden jewelry.
Not only is there something special about the casting process, these gold bars are very different from the gold bars of later generations. The gold bars are not very smooth, but have ripple-like patterns on them, with the name of the store where they were produced, and
Is it a pure gold mark?
It's the same in any era. Women are inherently immune to these jewelry. Tang Yifei couldn't take her eyes away when she saw those jewelry. She tentatively asked Qin Chuan in disbelief, "Have you left all these jewelry?"<
/p>
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "These are all given to you, so of course you have to keep them."
Tang Yifei curled her lips and said, "These jewelry are nominally given to me, but in fact they are all given to you. We are not a real couple, how can I keep them?"
Seeing Tang Yifei's duplicity, Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart and wanted to tease her, but in the end he didn't speak.
According to Tang Yifei, there are a total of 4.52 million legal tenders and 568 gold bars.
In the early years of the Republic of China, one tael of gold was worth more than 30 yuan. Due to the constant war in the country, the price of gold has been rising, and now it has reached the level of 70 to 80. As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times, Qin Chuan knows that the price of gold is very high.
It will soon reach about one hundred.
It was obviously not appropriate to keep so much money at home. In the end, Qin Chuan decided to follow what his eldest brother said and deposit all the legal currency in Citibank and exchange it for US dollars, while Qin Chuan decided to keep all the gold bars in his hand for emergency use, and then spent money with Tang Yifei.
It took a lot of effort and several moves to move these gold bars into their bedroom. The small safe was almost full after only holding more than 300 gold bars. There was always a little space inside to store other important items.
something.
Qin Chuan greeted Zhenbei and Zhennan brothers, then took Zhao Yi, Li Fei, and Meng Da to move several suitcases filled with French currency into two Mercedes-Benzes, and then drove the two Mercedes-Benzes to Citigroup
Bank.
Although there is a Cadillac and a Studepunkt at home, in terms of price and reputation, the Cadillac is not only better and more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz, but even the Studepunkt costs more than 3,000 yuan, Qin Chuan has always had a special affection for the Mercedes-Benz.
Bell.
Exchanging U.S. dollars at Citibank goes smoothly. Several of Qin Chuan's accounts are with Citibank. He is now a major customer of Citibank. He does not make deposits or withdrawals at the lobby counter, but is invited to the VIP room to handle them alone.
After leaving Citibank, Qin Chuan arranged for Li Fei and Meng Da to go back. He only took Zhao Yi and drove to the "Global Business Group". Because of the marriage, it was difficult to expose Tang Yifei in front of his "father-in-law and mother-in-law".
Left alone at home, he has not been to the company for three days. He wants to understand some of the current situation, because Qin Chuan knows that something big will happen tomorrow.
As for safety issues, Qin Chuan is no longer worried. According to the information Du Gongguan gave him, on the day he issued a reward for arresting Wu Sibao through the Shanghai Police Station, Wu Sibao and his apprentice were sent to the rental house by Ji Yunqing and left Shanghai. It is said that
It is possible that he ran to the north.
Before Qin Chuan's car arrived at the company, he saw a Stepunk car turning out from the intersection in front. The license plate was Qi Lanfeng's car. Judging from the direction of the car, he should be rushing back to the company.
The two cars drove into the company's courtyard one after another. Qi Lanfeng should have noticed Qin Chuan's car following him, so Qi Lanfeng did not enter the building directly, but stood at the door of the building waiting for Qin Chuan.
After Qin Chuan got off the car, he directly faced Qi Lanfeng who was waiting for him. Qin Lanfeng said jokingly, "Chengji, you, the groom, are not at home with your siblings, why did you come to the company?"
While greeting several company employees who were entering and exiting the building, Qin Chuan smiled and pointed at Zhao Yi, who was carrying several big bags behind him, "I didn't take care of the wedding well today, so I will send some wedding candies to my colleagues in the company."
Qi Lanfeng naturally understood Qin Chuan's intention. While greeting the passing staff and familiar merchants, he pulled Qin Chuan directly upstairs.
Zhao Yi is very familiar with the company's situation, and everyone in the company also knows that Zhao Yi is Qin Chuan's bodyguard and driver, so Zhao Yi can handle the sending of wedding candies by himself.
While going upstairs, Qi Lanfeng said with some emotion, "In the afternoon, I was invited by Lu Bohong to go to the Xinpu Education Hall opened by Lu Bohong on the south bank of Lujiabang. I participated in a charity auction and visited the Xinpu Education Hall.
Yutang."
As he spoke, Qi Lanfeng held a finely crafted model of a Western sailboat in his hand, "This was made by children there. Look at this carving. It's not much worse than the handicrafts sold on the market."
Then Qi Lanfeng said with emotion, "This Lu Bohong is very admirable. Since the establishment of the New Education Hall ten years ago in the Republic of China, he has been enthusiastic about charity. According to statistics, over the years, his New Education Hall has adopted more than 100,000 orphans."
Numbering one hundred thousand, and not only did he invite nuns from the church to take care of the lives of these children,
It also changed the previous practice of charity that focused on raising children, and instead taught them how to fish. It stipulated that adopted orphans must study in primary schools and training centers set up in the church. In addition to literacy, they also taught children to learn embroidery, carving, and some other
Other manual skills so that these children can have skills when they grow up..."
"In addition, he also founded six hospitals including the Sacred Heart Hospital and five primary and secondary schools, and administered medicine to more than 2 million people..."
Qin Chuan knew very well what Qi Lanfeng said. He even knew that Lu Bohong, a well-known wealthy man in Shanghai in his sixties, would often put on an apron and cook for the children in Xinpu Yutang, and even brought
His two sons worked together to do it, but Lu Bohong died unexpectedly in the end, which is saddening.
