Chapter 180 Making Money
The sudden departure of Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li surprised everyone present.
"Didn't Mr. Zhang just tell a story about Yanda University? Could it be~~" Feng Chengcheng couldn't understand why Mr. Xu was so sensitive.
"Wow, could it be that the story about Yanda that Mr. Zhang told was about Mr. Xu?" Wang Yueqi looked as if something had suddenly dawned on her.
"I really like your personality. Come on, Wang Yueqi." Zhang Dongliang continued to give thumbs up to Wang Yueqi in his heart.
"Perhaps it's because Mr. Xu is also a graduate of Yanda University. Generally, people with higher education levels are more thoughtful, and with more thoughtfulness, they think more. Maybe Mr. Xu is overthinking."
As long as he has the chance, Zhang Dongliang is very happy to put some eye drops on Xu Wenqiang.
"You young people are the ones who have the most fun chatting together. I am old." Feng Jingyao joked with emotion.
"Dad, you're not old at all." Feng Chengcheng quickly acted coquettishly to comfort Feng Jingyao.
"Okay, Dad won't get old." Feng Jingyao looked at Feng Chengcheng lovingly.
Human nature is so strange. Feng Jingyao is not a good person, but he is a good father to Feng Chengcheng.
The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Zhang Dongliang declined Feng Jingyao's offer to send a car to see him off and hailed a rickshaw to leave.
Sitting in the rickshaw, Zhang Dongliang originally wanted to go to Xu Wenqiang's Lily Nightclub to see the excitement, but then he thought, forget it, there is still a long time to go, there is no need to rush, he has only been there for a day.
He thought of Fang Yanyun again. Fang Yanyun should be active in Paramount. Since she is the top socialite in Shanghai, she should also appear in top places.
Xu Wenqiang's Lily Nightclub is a third-rate place. Judging from what is shown in the drama, it is not much higher than the hair salons in the urban villages.
Unfortunately, the plan to go to Paramount today was not possible. Why? Zhang Dongliang had no money.
How can there be no money? Zhang Dongliang did not mean that there was no money in the true sense, but that there was no currency of this era.
Zhang Dongliang once wanted to forge the currency of this era through the small world, but was told that it was not allowed. Currency is a special thing, and it contains the condensed wishes of all living beings.
There was nothing he could do about it. Zhang Dongliang didn't have many silver dollars, so he exchanged some on the black market when he was free in Sijiu City.
Zhang Dongliang exchanged silver dollars for collection purposes, and the quantity was small. Besides, the capacity of the black market was small, so large-scale exchange was unrealistic.
In fact, these are not the problem. The key is that Xiaodie threw Zhang Dongliang over too quickly, and he was not mentally prepared at all. He thought he had plenty of time to prepare these things, so he was not in a hurry.
There is a lot of gold in the small world, but he will not exchange gold for the currency of this era. The problem of having no money is the easiest to solve, just go to the hostile forces to get it.
While strolling on the Bund in the morning, he discovered two targets.
One is the Yokohama Specie Bank of Japan, which was located at the location of the Shanghai branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in later generations, a six-story building on the Bund.
The Specie Bank was the vanguard of Japan's invasion of China and the main force of the economic and financial war. Zhang Dongliang was absolutely happy to get some funds from it to weaken the enemy.
The other is the HSBC Bank, also located on the Bund. I believe that the Chinese people are well aware of what the British have done since the Opium War.
Zhang Dongliang is a man who does things as soon as he thinks of them. He is not the kind of person who drags his feet. He asked a rickshaw to take him directly to the Bund.
The distance from Feng Mansion to the Bund is not short, and the rickshaw driver was sweating profusely.
Zhang Dongliang got off the rickshaw and handed the driver a silver dollar. "Sir, this is too much. I can't make the change."
"I've given it to you as a reward. No need to look for it."
"Thank you sir, thank you sir, do you need me to wait here?" The rickshaw driver was overjoyed. He didn't expect to meet such a good customer.
"No need to wait for me, just go ahead, I have other things to do." Zhang Dongliang didn't dare to keep others waiting for what he wanted to do, so he waved his hand and drove the rickshaw driver away.
"The location of China Orient Bank is really great." Zhang Dongliang was not lamenting that China Orient Bank had a good commercial location, but that it was too convenient for him to take action.
Finding a deserted spot by the Huangpu River, Zhang Dongliang dug a hole underground. A few dozen meters away, he reached the other side of the road - underneath the Bank of China.
Through careful search with mental power, the location of the underground vault was finally found.
"The protective measures are really expensive." The reinforced concrete is two meters thick, and there is a layer of steel plate lining the innermost layer, but this can't stop Zhang Dongliang.
The harvest was really huge. Countless silver dollars, Japanese yen banknotes, and some currencies of other countries. Except for the new banknotes with consecutive numbers that had not been issued, everything else was swept away by Zhang Dongliang.
Zhang Dongliang retreated back to the riverside along the same route, and then determined his position on the bank of the Huangpu River. He dug a hole into the bottom of the HSBC building, and repeated the same trick, taking away all the gold, silver and treasures.
Zhang Dongliang believed that these two banks would not make it public.
What do banks fear the most? Banks fear a bank run the most. A bank that is operating normally may go bankrupt if it encounters a bank run, let alone a bank that suddenly suffers a major loss.
If a run occurred at this time, the two banks would be completely bankrupt, which could have a chain reaction on the banks of the two countries, so they would never make it public.
This is also the reason why Zhang Dongliang did not bury explosives underground.
The next morning, Zhang Dongliang pretended to be strolling and came to the outside of the two banks. Sure enough, both banks were operating normally, but the bank employees had nervous expressions on their faces.
Zhang Dongliang suddenly remembered a famous saying in later generations: when the police investigate the crime scene, the suspects like to come to the crime scene to take a look. Does his behavior also conform to this characteristic?
Later, after careful discussion, the countries behind the two banks pointed the finger at three directions: one was the Germans, one was the Soviets, and the other was the tomb robbers in China.
Only these three types of people have the ability to quietly empty the vaults of the two banks. The first two are more likely to happen, and the tomb robbers can only play an assisting role at most.
As for how the countries behind the two banks will retaliate against the above three parties, that is not something Zhang Dongliang can worry about.
Zhang Dongliang accomplished his task and went back to sleep happily.
He didn't know that after Xu Wenqiang returned home feeling angry with him, he arranged for Ding Li to smash Jin Rong's Biyao Nightclub to pieces.
As a veteran tycoon in Shanghai, Jin Rong has more than just the Baguio Nightclub. He has many stalls and it is impossible for him to keep an eye on the Baguio Nightclub every day.
When Ding Li brought people to smash the nightclub, Jin Rong was not there. When Jin Rong got the news and rushed over, the Biyao Nightclub was already in a mess.
This made Jin Rong so angry that he wanted to have one Buddha born and two Buddhas ascend to heaven.
He robbed my woman without giving me an explanation and even smashed my place. If I can't get revenge, I don't want to stay in Shanghai anymore.
Jin Rong is definitely capable of fighting with Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li. If you don't know who Jin Rong is, add the word "Huang" in front of his name and you will know who his prototype is.
