Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0470 You Are My Brother
These money-seekers would look for common people who were not smart enough but wanted to get rich, and tell them the stories they had made up.
It is said that there is a box containing a huge amount of wealth buried in the deep mountains, called Box 46, which contains US dollars and gold bars from the Republic of China period. If you want to dig out this box, you need to pay a fee to the keeper.
Does it sound familiar?
The old ticket sellers will deceive people by saying: "I am now running around to raise funds for the opening fee. As long as you give me 1,000 yuan [or a few hundred yuan, depending on the person], when I succeed in raising funds and open four or six boxes, I will give you a large sum of money, at least half a million!"
Five hundred thousand! Most people wouldn’t dare to dream of such a huge number when they dream of getting rich.
This is a very profitable business, and it is also very credible. If anyone does not believe it, the old ticket dealer will take out the "Mouthpiece Newspaper" and show them the asset unfreezing notice published on it.
A notice was indeed issued that year, which roughly said: "According to the two countries of China and the United States...any unit or individual holding frozen assets can go through the registration procedures at the national banks in various places."
For ordinary people in the 1980s, they believed 100% that what was published in newspapers was true. They never doubted its authenticity and never thought that someone would play tricks on them or make up their stories.
So, the common people who dreamed of getting rich but had little education happily gave money, and then...
What else can happen? Either they think they are unlucky or they go to the police station and cry and scream. Few people would commit suicide. People at this time have been tested for a long time and are still quite strong.
Although there have been repeated severe crackdowns on this group of ticket-scaling scammers, they are still unable to stop and are becoming more and more outrageous.
Many people got rich by running around for old money, and they wanted to take their "careers" to the next level. They meticulously crafted and updated the world they had built, and an organization similar to the Freemasons, the "Plum Blossom Society", was born, and a fantastic modern history was also written.
Each member of the Plum Blossom Association has a prominent background. Let’s put it this way, since the late Qing Dynasty, almost all well-known figures are members of this association.
There are also people who are not members who were accused of bizarre stories. It was said that Lu Xun wanted to join the society, but was rejected three times after applying, which led to his death from depression.
People with big imaginations are all talented storytellers, and the stories they make up speak directly to people's hearts. Anyone who calms down and develops in the direction of literature has a chance to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
According to the portrayal of the old vote runner, the Plum Blossom Association controls all of China's wealth since the Qin Dynasty. It is the shadow organization behind China, and the current cause of unfreezing national assets is manipulated by them behind the scenes.
The last time Nan Yi was in Beijing, he overheard someone saying that as long as he paid one thousand yuan, he could invite Cixi to the dinner.
Tsk tsk , many of the routines in relationships are left over from previous generations.
Nan Yi woke up from his memories and continued talking to Xu Qian, "I heard you say before that your family also has a sugar company. How is the business going now?"
"No more. My father sold the sugar company to Uncle Guo."
"Guo Henian?"
"Do you know him?"
"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it." Nan Yi said thoughtfully: "Where are you mainly wandering around now?"
"That's really harsh. Where are you wandering around?"
"I can't tell you. I've signed a confidentiality agreement. I can only tell you that I'm a member of the Earth Guardian Organization, working for the people on Earth. Not long ago, I urinated on a large bomb that had a powerful enough force to blow up the entire Earth."
"Didn't you sign a confidentiality agreement? Why are you telling me?" Xu Qian said with a half-smile.
"We are just friends. I believe you won't tell anyone about my affairs. Listen closely and I will tell you another secret."
Xu Qian leaned forward and put her ear close to Nan Yi's mouth.
"I tell you, the Asian Games will be held in Beijing in six years." Nan Yi leaned close to Xu Qian's ear and spoke in a deliberately low voice.
Xu Qian glanced at Nan Yi and said angrily, "Don't say useless things. Tell me something I don't know."
"Don't worry, I'm telling you, the 1994 Asian Games will be held in Hiroshima."
Xu Qian clenched her fist and knocked Nan Yi on the shoulder several times. "I let you play tricks on me. I let you play tricks on me. If you are so awesome, tell me where the 1998 meeting will be held."
The venues for the 1990 and 1994 Asian Games have already been decided. Anyone who can read the newspaper knows that the 1994 one will be held in Hiroshima.
"I can't tell you this. It involves confidentiality procedures." Nan Yi leaned back to avoid Xu Qian's continuous attacks.
"Just be poor."
Xu Qian glared at Nan Yi fiercely and said, "Tell me, I told you so clearly and hinted that I liked you, why didn't you agree to it?"
Nan Yi took a sip of coffee, slowly put the cup down, sighed, and said, "Actually, I answered you back then, but you just took it as a joke."
"Which one?"
"Think about it yourself."
Xu Qian pulled her thoughts into her memories, and after a long while, she said faintly, "I'm not worthy of you, is that it?"
"Look at me, I am suave, outstanding, handsome, and strong... In order to describe my own strengths, I memorized all the good words in the idiom dictionary. But when I think about it, I always feel that there is still something missing. Those idioms are too superficial and cannot describe even one ten-thousandth of my strengths."
Nan Yi sighed heavily, "You are too good. It is really distressing. Why doesn't God let me become a little more ordinary? I really want to experience the happiness of ordinary people like you. It is so good to be an ordinary person!"
"Nan Yi, thank you, thank you for not agreeing to my request back then." Xu Qian patted her chest and said with a sigh of relief, "If I had really been with you back then, I would have vomited seven or eight times a day. You really disgusted me."
"Humph, jealousy, naked jealousy."
Nan Yi made a joke and turned the truth into a joke again.
When Xu Qian calmed down and asked for the food to be served, her grandson Lai Biao arrived.
"You grandson, are you here on time?"
"Nonsense, I'm very tactful. I know that you old lovers have endless things to talk about when you meet, so I deliberately waited outside for an hour before coming in." Lai Biao sat down next to Nan Yi and said in a nonchalant manner, "Xu Qian, have you reached an agreement?"
"No, that stinky Nan Yi looks down on me and wants my fiancé to do the talk." Xu Qian's eyes were like sharp blades stabbing at Nan Yi's face.
"It's not surprising. Don't you know that Nan Yi is a miser? It's hard to get him to pay."
"I originally thought he was just stingy, but now I know that he is not stingy at all, he is simply extremely miserly. For this meal, he didn't even think about paying for it and just planned to eat my food." Xu Qian complained.
"That won't do. Nan Yi must pay for today's meal. It's not easy to feed this grandson."
"Ha, forget it today. This is my store. I will definitely give you a big meal next time." Xu Qian said with a smile, "You guys take a seat first. I'll go to the kitchen to take care of things."
After Xu Qian left, Lai Biao lit a cigarette, took a few puffs and said, "Hongxin Group is going to carry out institutional reforms and will soon establish several subsidiaries. I should be the head of a subsidiary, and it will be an overseas subsidiary."
"Okay, no need to say more. I understand what you mean. If you need any help in the future, just ask. Which part will you be responsible for?"
"Whether it's trade or services, it hasn't been decided yet. There are several candidates who need to compete."
"Since it's a competitive job, why not compete in finance? In the short term, that field can produce better results."
"Forget about finance, I don't understand it either. Service is a bit empty, and I'm more inclined to trade. When it comes to making achievements, trade is no harder than finance." Lai Biao put out his cigarette in the ashtray and waved his hand next to his nose.
"Yes, trade is easier, but everyone knows that if it is easier, the value will be lower. When it comes to crediting, there will definitely be a big discount, so it will be twice the result with half the effort."
"There are some things you don't understand. The people in charge of finance in the group are not easy to deal with. They are all time bombs. You don't know when they will explode. If you get involved with them, you will only get into trouble."
"Haha, I don't know. You should ask your father for his opinion."
"Do I need you to tell me?" Lai Biao snorted and said, "Let's not talk about me. The crazy rise in the share price of Kangcheng Yingni is your fault?"
"You can say that. Don't ask for details. Just sit back and wait for your money to be divided."
"If you don't want to ask, then don't ask. I'm not worried about the money. I feel relieved in your hands. You can help me make money, and I can work peacefully and make some achievements."
"You and I are brothers. We don't need to say it out loud. I can help you multiply your 50 million Hong Kong dollars by a hundred times. With 5 billion, both you and your future children will be protected. Besides, don't we still have Nan Chen Winery and me?"
Nan Yi patted Lai Biao on the shoulder and said, "If your child wants to go into business in the future, I will help you take care of him. No matter what his ability is, I will make my nephew a business talent."
"Damn, you talk so hypocritically, you're really a businessman." Lai Biao laughed.
"You grandson, remember this clearly, I am a Confucian businessman."
"As for you, you are more cunning than a monkey and your forehead is sharper than a wasp's sting. You will go wherever there is benefit and will not let go of anything."
"Hahaha, businessmen pursue profits." Nan Yi grabbed Lai Biao's clothes and said, "The clothes are nice. You are getting better and better at dressing. But the color is too bright. Are you pretending to be a rooster?"
Lai Biao pulled his clothes and cursed: "Nonsense, you are just like me. You wear black, white and gray all year round, and you don't think it's monotonous."
"I can't help it. I'm too young. I'll dress more plainly to look more mature. How old do you think I am?"
Lai Biao looked at Nan Yi's face, then at his clothes, "It's very vague, I'd say you're anywhere from 20 to 38."
"I just want others to blur my age. If I'm too young, people will look down on me."
"What are you talking about? You seem so happy?" Just at this moment, Xu Qian came back.
"Nothing, just telling me some embarrassing things that happened at school. Why did you take so long?" Lai Biao responded before Nan Yi could say anything.
"Oh, I cooked some fried carrot cake and Nyonya salad. You can try my cooking later."
"You cook? If I don't invest, you're going to poison me?" Nan Yi responded, exaggeratingly.
"Don't look at me with old eyes. In Malaysia, women have to learn to cook Nyonya dishes before they get married. You will definitely bite your tongue off in a while." Xu Qian said unwillingly.
"Okay, then try your craft and see if you can impress me."
