Chapter 40 Withdrawal of Money
"Let me see."
Erya reached out and snatched the check.
"Ouch, girl, be gentle, don't mess it up." Zhang Heli shouted.
"Hey, Dad, it was really the old man who wrote your name. I recognize his handwriting. It looks like chicken claws and is so ugly." Erya said happily.
"Can I really withdraw money from the bank?" Wang Aiguo took the check and asked .
He would rather let Zhang Heli cheat him out of his money than use a piece of paper to cheat the bank, because that would lead to him being caught and shot.
"Really? It's called a check. It's a credit note issued by a bank, just like the passbook you use to deposit money in a bank."
Zhang Heli explained.
At this time, Aunt Six slapped her thigh and shouted, "Now that you put it that way, I understand. It turns out that this is a passbook!"
"Hey, isn't it just a passbook? Tiejun brought back a lot of money, but I can't take that much with me, so I have to save it first."
Zhang Heli breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't explain clearly, he would make the 57th Brigade bloody today.
"Uncle Zhang, how much money do I want you to bring back?"
At this time, Erya stared at the Arabic numerals on the check in confusion, feeling a little dizzy. She had just counted for a long time and there were indeed four zeros. The first one was twenty-three, so the total was, twenty-three... ten thousand?
This scared her, it was an astronomical figure. The richest family in the team, the damn Zhang family was the legendary 100,000 yuan household, so now their family was a 200,000 yuan household, wasn't it?
“Oh, this is US dollars…”
Zhang Heli explained: "The current exchange rate is 8.5, which means 1 to 8.5. This check is worth 1.95 million RMB."
"ah?"
Erya’s little mouth suddenly opened wide.
Everyone in the room was exactly like her, petrified.
Afterwards, without even having time to eat, Zhang Heli drove a jeep and took the Wang family of four to Tianjin.
At this time, the news that Wang Tiejun had made a fortune had spread
The Wang family went to Tianjin and left the house to be taken care of by Aunt Liu.
Because the house was still full of people, more and more villagers came from all over, apparently preparing to wait for Wang Aiguo and others to return from Tianjin to confirm whether they really had that much money.
The Zhang family, who raised pigs, also came. The whole family, including the brothers Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Ercheng, reeked of pig manure.
"That prisoner Wang Tiejun must have done something bad in the United States, otherwise how could he have made two million?"
Zhang Dacheng shouted.
"It must be a scam. That Zhang must be a liar. He specifically scammed Daya and Erya. They can't come back. Maybe they were tricked into working as hairdressers in Guangzhou or Shenzhen."
Zhang Ercheng shouted.
"Damn it, someone else got it for free." Zhang Dacheng looked regretful.
"That's right." Zhang Ercheng agreed dejectedly.
"Don't talk nonsense, look at this TV, the one in your house is the grandson of this big guy, and the two of you are the same in front of Tiejun."
Annoyed that the Zhang brothers always had bad intentions towards Da Ya and Er Ya, Sixth Aunt made indirect accusations.
"This liar has invested a lot of money..."
The Zhang brothers looked at the majestic TV, their eyes narrowed, and their voices became lower.
Let’s not talk about that for now. More than an hour later, at 2:30 in the afternoon, the four members of the Wang family followed Zhang Heli to Tianjin and found the city branch of the Bank of China.
Wang Aiguo and the other three were still skeptical and couldn't believe it. Despite Zhang Heli's repeated explanations, they still couldn't believe that Wang Tiejun could make so much money. When they arrived at the bank door, some of them were afraid to go in.
"Go in, Brother Wang, it's okay."
Zhang Heli comforted them and finally led the four people in.
"Comrade, please pay me."
When he arrived at the accounting counter, he saw a female accountant in her forties and Zhang Heli handed the check in.
The female accountant took the check expressionlessly, glanced at it, and suddenly froze, her eyes immediately staring at the check.
"This is a cashier's check from a foreign bank for $230,000. Is it real or fake?"
After looking at it for more than ten seconds, she didn't quite recognize the Citibank cashier's check. The amount was too large and she didn't dare to believe it. She looked at Zhang Heli, Wang Aiguo and the other four with suspicion, then stood up and took the check to another table. She handed the check to a male colleague in his fifties and said, "Mr. Wu, please take a look."
Her action scared Wang Aiguo and the other three, and they moved timidly behind Zhang Heli.
"it's okay no problem."
Zhang Heli quickly consoled him, then moved to Mr. Wu's counter and explained, "Comrade, this is a promissory note from Citibank."
Mr. Wu should be the chief accountant here. He looked at Zhang Heli and the others, nodded, and began to identify the promissory notes in his hand.
The Bank of China does have dealings with Citibank and can redeem Citibank's promissory notes, but the amount is large and his attitude appears to be very cautious.
After more than ten minutes of verification, he was basically sure that it was genuine, so he asked, "Comrade, we can pay your money, but you cannot withdraw cash or transfer money at the moment. You must complete the exchange settlement between our bank and Citibank before you can withdraw cash or transfer money."
"also."
Zhang Heli nodded. This was the only way. He had the 20,000 U.S. dollars in cash that Wang Tiejun brought back, which was enough for the time being.
"How many days will it take?" he asked again.
"At least half a month, I don't know the exact details."
Mr. Wu said for a moment, and then said, "Also, do you plan to withdraw the money in US dollars or RMB? There are restrictions on US dollars, so it is best to withdraw RMB."
Zhang Heli smiled. He knew that Mr. Wu was fooling him. He didn't want them to withdraw US dollars because the country was short of foreign exchange. Last year's foreign exchange reserves were less than 20 billion US dollars. With such a large country, this amount of foreign exchange was not enough.
"Just take RMB, we don't want US dollars. But you have to give us some foreign exchange coupons, which will be convenient for buying things sometimes." He said with a smile.
"That's great. I can give you some of the foreign exchange coupons. That's no problem." Mr. Wu laughed.
After completing the formalities at the bank, Wang Aiguo opened a savings account with a total of RMB 2.01 million deposited in it, but the account was frozen.
"Brother Wang, here you go. You can withdraw the money in a few days." Zhang Heli handed the passbook to Wang Aiguo.
Wang Aiguo took the passbook with trembling hands. His hands were shaking so much that it took him a long time to open it. He felt dizzy when he saw the string of zeros on it.
Only now was he sure that the money was real and that his son had really made a fortune.
Zhang Heli exchanged another 20,000 US dollars into RMB at the bank, a total of 170,000 yuan, which was used to pay off his debts.
"Let's go back." Zhang Heli said.
The five of them got in the car again. Zhang Heli said as he drove, "Tiejun asked me to find a tutor for Daya and Erya in Beijing first. After I send you home, I will go back to Beijing to make arrangements. After I have arranged a house and a tutor, I will come to pick them up and take them to Beijing."
"We are going to Beijing, but what should we do with the sixty or seventy acres of land at home?" Erya said in surprise.
Zhang Heli smiled and said, "Tiejun said that we should give it to the people in the team. We won't farm the land anymore. At most, we can grow some food for ourselves."
"Oh, that won't do. We've planted all the crops that need to be planted in the fields, and we've done all the work that needs to be done. The total harvest can be worth tens of thousands of dollars." Liu Damei quickly shook her head.
"Isn't it because Tiejun cares about you? He makes money and wants to let you two old people enjoy a good life. If you still plant so much land, wouldn't his money be earned in vain?" Zhang Heli said with a smile.
"this?"
Liu Damei looked at Wang Aiguo, not knowing what to do.
Wang Aiguo hesitated for a long time before saying, "How about Daya and Erya go to Beijing, and we can plant the land first. If we are really too busy, we can ask for help? It would be a pity to give it to others. Daya and Erya have been busy for a year, and we can't let them work in vain!"
He calculated that the family's land, including the land he had picked up, totaled 66 acres. In the past, it was taken care of by Daya and Erya. Now that winter is here, there is less work, and the couple can stop working and be busy.
Zhang Heli stopped persuading him and waited for Wang's family to install a telephone. He let Wang Tiejun speak for himself as it was not appropriate for him, an outsider, to say too much.
He added, "Tiejun said that in addition to Da Ya and Er Ya's schooling, we have to build a big house for our family. It has to be a five-story building. The first floor is the main house, and you two old people will live on the second floor. Da Ya and Er Ya will live on the third and fourth floors, and the fifth floor is for him."
"ah?"
The four members of the Wang family were surprised again. How much would it cost? They had no idea.
Wang Aiguo touched the place where the passbook was placed on his waist and smacked his lips. If Tiejun wants to repair it, then let's repair it.
"Tiejun said that the family needs to buy a car." Zhang Heli said again.
Wang Aiguo nodded and said, "It would be more convenient to buy a bicycle."
“Ahem…”
Zhang Heli was choked on his saliva. He felt that Wang Aiguo and his son were quite similar. Wang Tiejun had such a big contract, but he was reluctant to buy even a car. It seemed that this was hereditary.
"By the way, Tiejun wants the medicinal oil used in Lian Tieshan Kao. Please get some more and I will bring it to him." He said again.
"Okay, I'll get it for him when I get back. Thank you for your help." Wang Aiguo said quickly.
