Ning Weimin really wasn't joking.
His cash was placed in a one-bedroom apartment among the many houses he had purchased in bulk to move out the tenants of the Imperial Uncle's courtyard.
The reason why that suite was not selected was because the house area was too small, and it would definitely be an "old, broken, small" structure in the future.
Don’t look at it, it is the most shining school district house among the future housing listings in Beijing.
Don’t expect the highest price in the future to reach 180,000 square meters, but now no one wants to buy this house, so it can only be left vacant for the time being.
Ning Weimin's cash totaled three million.
Luo Guangliang and Xiaotao put them in several tobacco and alcohol packaging boxes and helped Ning Weimin put them in.
So it is actually very convenient if you want to transport it.
If they take it out and put it on a tricycle, others will just think it is transporting ordinary tobacco and alcohol.
In fact, after asking the beauty where she would go to trade later, Ning Weimin only made a phone call and went back to Shan'er Hutong to find Luo Guangliang, and then arranged the money delivery.
After that, he, the beauty, and Zeng Xianzi went ahead and went to the trading location to wait.
This time the cash transaction took place in a courtyard east of Liangmaqiao.
Even though it was less than two kilometers away from the Great Wall Hotel, when they drove out of the Third Ring Road, the farther east they went, the more desolate they became.
Not even three hundred meters away, it was already a completely different world than before.
Fortunately, when we arrived at the place, the car drove along the sandy road and entered the shabby red brick courtyard wall, only to find that it was actually pretty good inside.
Although trenches, wiring, paving and extensive construction work are being carried out in this compound, many key passages are bursting with dirt and smoke.
But there are small villas that have just been built everywhere.
Away from the construction, there are green grass and towering trees.
Although it is already afternoon, the air is as fresh as early morning.
Needless to say, neither Ning Weimin nor Zeng Xianzi expected that a villa area would actually appear in the capital these days.
They couldn't help but look around curiously in the car, marveling.
Sitting in Ning Weimin's car, the beautiful woman who was responsible for leading the way saw this scene and took the initiative to introduce her.
“This is a foreign-related hotel project contracted by a mainland friend of our boss. It will probably open next year. There are not many guest rooms here, but there are catering, fitness, bars, and business services. The main profit direction is to rely on these integrated services. A garden villa for rent. The minimum rental period of these single-family apartments is half a year, which is very suitable for foreign families who live in the capital. Doesn’t Mr. Zeng often come to the capital? If you want to enjoy the home atmosphere, you can rent one, which is definitely better. It’s comfortable to stay in a hotel. And it’s not far from the airport, so it’s much more convenient.”
Ning Weimin suddenly remembered, isn’t this the future Guangming Hotel?
Oh, there was no sign outside, and the wall was not properly repaired. I almost didn’t remember it.
It seems that this beautiful boss really knows how to make friends.
This also explains why people do such hugely profitable business in the Mainland, and their reputation is very good.
But precisely because of this, Ning Weimin also became more and more curious about the beautiful boss.
It is incredible that such a shrewd person from a port city came to the capital of the Republic to manage such a gray industry.
He couldn't figure out what kind of Hong Kong businessman was doing such a thing.
Either he is too arrogant or he is too confident.
In his previous life, he had only seen this kind of passion for making money at the Junket Operator in Macau.
It is impossible that this person is Mr. He from Ma Ge, or Mr. Huo from Hong Kong City, right?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, feeling that he was too good at guessing.
However, he never expected that everything he experienced next would push reality closer and closer to an answer that even he himself thought was unreliable.
Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, Ning Weimin quickly drove the car to the innermost single-family building that had been completed and stopped.
Then he and Zeng Xianzi got out of the car and followed the beauty inside.
The hall is very luxurious. Although it looks like nothing out of the ordinary from the outside, the wind is calm and the cicadas are chirping in the ears.
But as soon as he opened the door, Ning Weimin couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.
Because something is very wrong inside.
There were many people in suits in the hall, standing or standing with stern eyes, and they stopped talking as soon as they came in.
These people are not uniformly dressed in black suits, and no one wears sunglasses.
The cards He Jun deliberately played were different from when Ning Weimin was in Shanghai, and it was also different from what he played in the movie.
But the look in their eyes made Ning Weimin intuitively know that everyone here was probably a genuine Jianghu person from Hong Kong City.
This is the capital of Beijing!
Damn it, I accidentally entered the den of a short mule. Who would believe it?
Ning Weimin is really not feeling relaxed right now.
Although he looked calm on the outside, his mind kept thinking about the Hong Kong movies he had watched.
This kind of transaction often appears in many movies. It seems peaceful, but in fact it is dangerous.
If this group of people breaks the moral principles of the world and eats his fat sheep worth tens of millions, where can they find reason?
Even if Zeng Xianzi is around, there is nothing he can do.
He is also an ordinary businessman, can his words be effective?
If I risk my life by accompanying him, I will also be punished.
Ning Weimin couldn't help but start to imagine the scene of his upcoming meeting with the beautiful boss. He searched her body first and then brought her in.
There must be a club brother sitting in the room inside, drinking foreign wine.
In addition to a dog-headed military counselor holding a white paper fan, there were also charming women on the left and right.
Maybe the beauty who brought them here is also a female killer.
Well, it’s almost like Stephen Chow’s appearance as the boss of the Ax Gang in the movie “Kung Fu”.
However, his guess was both right and wrong.
First of all, he glanced at Zeng Xianzi beside him. The Hong Kong businessman was completely indifferent to the scene in front of him.
That calm look was not an act, it was a matter of course, a confident one.
Seeing that he was so calm and composed, Ning Weimin naturally calmed down and stopped thinking and scaring himself.
Secondly, no one searched me at all.
In full view of everyone, the beauty took them into a room upstairs to meet her boss.
There is indeed a boss, but there are no charming women and dog-headed strategists, and female killers are even more nonsense.
And the most amazing thing is that not only did the boss not drink any foreign wine, he was lying on the ground alone, being ridden like a horse by a two or three-year-old girl.
The little girl was so excited that she shouted happily, "Drive! Drive!"
The voice was like the sound of nature, as innocent as an angel.
When someone came in, the boss didn't stand up immediately.
Instead, he carried the little girl on his back and completed a large circle of climbing before putting the child down.
He touched her head and said, "Good boy, you and Axia go to play. Dad has a guest."
Then he handed the child over to the beauty who sent Ning Weimin and the others in and took her away.
Ning Weimin didn’t know until this moment that the beauty’s name was Axia.
At the same time, of course, I also saw the appearance of the boss clearly.
This man is younger than Zeng Xianzi, in his mid-thirties at most, thin and tall.
He doesn't look vicious at all. He wears gold-rimmed glasses and has a fair face.
If it weren’t for the bright tattoos faintly exposed under his rolled-up sleeves, he could really be regarded as a handsome and wealthy young man.
This man was also very enthusiastic when he saw them. He walked over first and extended his hand to Zeng Xianzi.
"Haha, hello to you Zeng. I didn't expect that we would meet here. Thank you for always taking care of our business. You also introduced your friends to us. Thank you, thank you very much."
These sentences are not only in Mandarin, but also contain a lot of information.
Only then did Ning Weimin realize that they were also old acquaintances. Zeng Xianzi was polite and said, "Oh, Hong Sheng, we only meet each other often if we are destined. Without your help, it would be difficult for me to do business in mainland China. The financial conditions here are really backward. We need to take care of each other and make a fortune together."
Then he introduced Ning Weimin to him.
"This Mr. Ning is an elite from the Mainland and one of the shareholders of Pierre Cardon China. This time he wants to invest in Japan. He will probably travel between the two places in the future. Exchange Japanese Yen I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you a lot, Hong Sheng. Please take care of me in the future."
"Oh, it's easy to talk to. Zeng Sheng is too polite. Just call me Teddy or Taizi. Well.”
"Hey, Hong Sheng was joking."
Zeng Xianzi turned his head to Ning Weimin again.
"This is Mr. Hong. You may not know it in the mainland, but he is very famous in Hong Kong. The financial company just now belongs to him, and he is the real boss. Regarding the exchange of currency, As long as he leaves a message, you can rest assured.”
The boss then took the initiative to shake hands with Ning Weimin and continued to introduce himself, appearing very approachable.
"Ning Sheng, hello. Zeng Sheng and I are old acquaintances and have done business many times. We can't talk about being famous. That's Zeng Sheng's fun. But doing what you say is the foundation of business. Well, I can definitely do it. In the future, I hope you will support me in my business here in mainland China. If you need it, just come to my financial company. As time goes by, you will know that our company's rules are more effective than contracts written in black and white. , the emphasis is on 'faithfulness', and you are absolutely assured in terms of financial security. And we not only do business in mainland China and Hong Kong, but we can also do the same-day remittance to major currencies in Europe, America, and Asia."
"Same day?" Ning Weimin really didn't expect that the other party would have such a loud tone.
With the backward communication conditions of this era, even central bank exchange is not such a fast method.
The boss also had poisonous eyes. He could see Ning Weimin's doubts at a glance and laughed.
“I’m not bragging. Just like your business, you have to use formal banking channels to remit the money, and go through formal procedures to get the money out of the country. That will be troublesome. Mainland China is very strict about foreign exchange. Outflow is very sensitive. Naturally, it is slow, and it may not be possible to complete it within a week. But if we do it, your money will not really be transferred out. I only need to make a phone call and ask someone to transfer the amount. Just deposit the currency into your account, and the procedure will be much simpler. To put it bluntly, we don't use any foreign exchange from the mainland, we just use overseas money to exchange it with your money. This is the secret of our business. It depends on the number of people.”
After saying this, Ning Weimin’s smile froze.
He was not stupid. He immediately understood the implication. There were many people? Have more brothers.
And it’s not just about the large number of people.
Tens of millions, millions, the whole world can immediately mobilize funds and deposit them into accounts. How much financial power and power is this?
Although it happened in the blink of an eye, Ning Weimin returned to normal immediately.
But this change in expression still did not escape Mr. Hong's eyes. He said nothing more, probably because he was afraid of having the opposite effect.
Just ask someone to come in and bring a few glasses of wine to lighten the mood.
Just after finishing the drink, someone reported that the person who sent money to Ning Weimin had arrived outside the courtyard wall on three wheels.
So the matter of exchanging cash began to be put into action.
However, Boss Hong left full power to his subordinates to handle the specific matters. He apologized and excused himself.
There is no doubt that Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao came in on tricycles and were amazed by the scenery of the villas along the way.
After meeting Ning Weimin, he couldn't help but ask what kind of place this place was.
What happened next shocked Ning Weimin even more and will never be forgotten.
Because the process of counting money by Boss Hong’s people was so incredible.
They brought Ning Weimin and Zeng Xianzi out, but did not let them unload the car. Instead, they directly pushed the three-wheeler into the garage.
Following the leader, a man named Shengzi took out an electronic scale from under the tool rack of the car and placed it on the ground.
Then he asked Luo Guangliang and the others to open the cigarette and wine boxes and pour out the money inside.
"Boss, do you need to check the scale?" Shengzi asked according to the rules before the formal weighing.
"No, no need. Just order."
Zeng Xianzi followed the agent's instructions and then explained to Ning Weimin in a low voice.
“This is a trading method for some special businesses in Hong Kong City. Because time is tight and the transaction volume is large, large transactions are often made using scales. There is no time to really count them one by one. Even the basket is fixed As long as they know the weight of a stack of money, they can easily count the amount here. However, they are very disciplined and their financial exchange services are more efficient and thoughtful than real banks. "
Sure enough, before Sheng Zai weighed it, he took out a clear basket containing money and weighed it, showing it to Ning Weimin and Zeng Xianzi.
The counter shows 0.5 kilograms.
Seeing Zeng Xianzi nodding in approval, Sheng Zai asked someone to continue stacking bundles of banknotes into the basket.
As the number on the counter continued to jump up, until it showed 11.99 kilograms, Shengzi asked someone to write down one hundred thousand.
Then pour the basket of money into another open space, and then use the same method to calculate the next one hundred thousand.
Ning Weimin stood aside and watched the whole process, calculating in his heart.
Although he was shocked at first, he had never heard of counting money like this, let alone witnessed it with his own eyes.
However, for him, whose heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys are all made of abacus beads, he is born to be particularly sensitive to money figures.
After weighing the third hundred thousand, he had already calculated the standard for these people to weigh money based on his own understanding.
A stack of "Great Unity" with a face value of ten yuan should be two or three.
So ten thousand yuan is two catties and three liang, one point one and a half kilograms, so isn't one hundred thousand yuan equal to eleven and a half kilograms?
Coupled with the weight of the basket, theoretically when the counter shows twelve kilograms, it is one hundred thousand yuan.
Of course, it is normal to have a slight difference, so sometimes it is 11.96 and sometimes it is 11.99.
However, from this point of view, we can also see the kindness of these short mules, because most of the time they are under twelve kilograms, and rarely more than ten kilograms. For Ning Weimin, Of course it is more appropriate.
Just like that, in about twenty minutes, the money brought by Ning Weimin was weighed.
The efficiency is so high that it will definitely make people in the bank dumbfounded.
After that, Shengzi and his people put the "golden mountains" on the ground into the tobacco and alcohol boxes and moved them to the second floor of the villa.
At this time, Mr. Hong appeared again, and graciously offered to treat Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin to dinner.
Of course Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin understood that this was a courtesy and thanked them one after another.
So Mr. Hong insisted on asking Zeng Xianzi and Ning Wei to call Hong Kong City to check their accounts.
Not surprisingly, the check of 3 million yuan exchanged two hours ago has been transformed into 195 million yen and deposited into it.
The three million cash can be queried in two hours.
When it was time to see him off, Mr. Hong not only took out two bottles of Rémy Martin X0 gift boxes and presented them to Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin respectively, but also gave Ning Weimin a personal ticket without any name. business card.
This time I said to him very sincerely, "We are all busy, so I won't force you to stay. Anyway, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future. Not to mention Mr. Ning's Tan Gong Restaurant. In It's a famous Chinese restaurant in Beijing. I'm really suspected of being embarrassed when I treat guests. Well, I also have business in Japan. Mr. Ning's branch in Japan will definitely open. Please inform me and I'll have someone come to support you. I will send at least a dozen flower baskets. It would be better if Ning Sheng comes to Hong Kong City when the time comes. I will do my best to be a landlord then."
Ning Weimin also took advantage of the situation and started talking about it. This ended this "fantasy journey".
Unlike Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, who had to ride three-wheelers back, Ning Weimin and Zeng Xianzi left in an American jeep.
But when we went back, the car was surprisingly quiet, and neither Ning Weimin nor Zeng Xianzi spoke.
As for Ning Weimin himself, the more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became. The more he thought about it, the more familiar the name on the business card became.
Suddenly, my mind flashed, and I finally thought of who Mr. Hong I saw today was.
In the Internet age, there are many rumors about him, and many people compare him with Du Yuesheng back then.
The legendary thing about this person is that he is not only the most educated person in the mixed society, but also has a doctorate.
He is also the prototype of the boss in the movies "Young and Dangerous" and "Infernal Affairs", and was imprisoned for it.
Ah, yes, yes, counting the time, it seems to be almost here.
"Mr. Zeng, that Mr. Hong is...fourteenth..."
Unable to bear it, Ning Weimin finally asked Zeng Xianzi.
Zeng Xianzi's reaction was even more surprising, "Don't say that word. Huh? Do you know him? Has his fame spread to the mainland?"
Then his face turned serious.
"In this case, I must remind you that it has nothing to do with him doing this kind of business. Many businessmen in the port city are his customers. As for banks, they only rely on these people to make money. Yes. But you should not have any other involvement with him, even if it is 100% legal, do not cooperate with him in restaurants, bars, or clubs, even though he is a smart person in the club and wants to clean up. Bai, he has also started doing social welfare. But this kind of person has too much trouble in the past, and the people around him will also get into trouble, and it seems that someone in Hong Kong has been checking him. When the mainland saw him, I'm afraid it was the same reason."
Ning Weimin knew that Zeng Xianzi had good intentions and admired him for being able to hit the mark with his experience, so he naturally agreed repeatedly.
But having said that, I couldn’t help but be lost in thought while driving.
For no other reason than to do business with this man, it was so magical.
This is a legendary figure who claims to have twelve celebrity girlfriends, who can allow Liu Luanxiong to personally send beautiful women to have dinner with him. In the future, he will change his mind and serve as a pastor to save delinquent youths.
Who would have thought that by changing exchanges in the capital, one would end up in the world of martial arts?
Oh, now that I’ve seen the real boss, I probably won’t be able to watch Hong Kong police movies anymore.
Because all the movies are so fake!
