Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 564 Treasure Stealing

Chu Xiangqian took the box and knew at a glance that it should be a reward.

I opened it with some anticipation and saw that there was actually a medal in the box.

Just looking left and right, I didn't see what level this medal was.

Tang Lianxin looked at Chu Qianqian with some envy, and then explained, "There are only a few medals issued. Even I have only heard of it but never seen it."

Then he said with emotion, "In ancient times, this would be the iron certificate of the alchemy book."

Chu Qianqian was stunned, and then he was ecstatic. As long as you don't commit any crime, no one can mess with you.

And it also means that the Celestial Empire will always remember what contributions he has made.

It is probably the wish that no one can let go.

I felt happy and said with a smile, "Tell the superiors that I have brought back 31.4 tons of wheat this time, and I will transport it back as soon as the ship arrives at Hong Kong Island.

And if nothing else happens, I should be able to get the same amount of food every two months or even a month from now on. "

This isn't Chu Xiangqian's nonsense. It shouldn't be too easy for Chu Xiangqian to transport money out of the country.

What needs to be worried about now is whether the Chicago Mafia and Pablo can buy so much wheat every month.

And it was transported to Panama City secretly and smoothly.

Tang Lianxin became excited after hearing this, and he calculated silently in his mind. With the 31.4 tons this time, this guy had brought back at least 97 tons of wheat and 4 tons of corn.

Suddenly it exceeded one million tons.

It can be regarded as directly completed, and the purchase quantity promised by Chu Xiangqian was completed.

When converted into U.S. dollars, these grains seem to exceed 3 million.

After doing this calculation, Tang Lianxin suddenly felt that let alone a medal, if this boy was still in the country, his father-in-law might not be as high as him.

Chu Xiangqian could be heard saying, "After this batch of grain is shipped back, not only will all the 20 tons of gold given to me last time be deducted, but I will still be owed three to five hundred kilograms of gold."

Old Man Tang calculated silently, not to mention that Chu Xiangqian was really not talking nonsense.

I couldn't help but feel pain in my head. After hesitating for a while, I said helplessly, "Can I owe it first?"

Chu Xiangqian actually didn't care, after all, he was really not short of money now.

Moreover, doing business with the Chicago Mafia and Pablo made money come in really fast.

But this is not a problem that can be solved with just a few million.

Just like this time, the 31.4 tons of wheat are worth US$1170 million. If I come here a few more times, I will be able to owe one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong Island.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head without even thinking about it.

If you owe this money a few more times, you will definitely not be able to get it back in the future.

Of course, you can also repay the same amount of grain after the drought in China eases, and transport it to Hong Kong Island for sale, and you will actually make more money.

After all, shipping costs alone can increase the price of food purchased from North America by about 10%.

And if you retail, the price will be 20% or even 30% higher.

But how could Chu Xiangqian have any intention of actually working as a grain merchant on Hong Kong Island?

Not to mention, two or three times of debt is equivalent to 20 to 30 million US dollars. If I can come up with so much money, it is really difficult to explain the source.

He was thinking at the same time that it was foreseeable that as he helped the Chicago Mafia and Pablo transport more and more money out of the country.

Then Pablo will naturally transport more flour to the Magnesium Country.

It won't be long before not only Pablo's competitors will notice him, but agencies such as the National Bureau of Investigation and the Central Bureau of Investigation will find it impossible not to keep an eye on him and the Chicago Mafia.

Otherwise, all the money will be taken away by the two of them, and others will have to drink the northwest wind.

So it won't be long before a fight, or even a war, is inevitable for the flour market and money.

Once the war starts, there is really no guarantee that the food will be transported to Panama City on time and smoothly as before.

However, as the boss behind the bank, Pablo, Old Frank and Russell will definitely not sell themselves out.

There is nothing to worry about in terms of safety.

And even though 31.4 tons of grain is a lot, it can actually be filled by only five or six merchant ships of tons or tons.

Even if they were transported using 30,000-ton medium-sized ships in order not to attract attention, there would only be a dozen of them.

This is not conspicuous at all to the magnesium country, where hundreds of ocean-going cargo ships come in and out every day.

Not to mention, anyone who has bribed the port of Magnesia has no record of leaving the port. If you want to check, you first have to face the obstruction of the customs of Magnesium, which is even more difficult.

Tell Tang Lianxin about the difficulties and options, and Old Tang will have an even bigger headache.

After all, this is more than ten million US dollars. If he owes it one or two more times, Chu Xiangqian might go bankrupt.

From a long-term perspective, this is killing the goose that lays the egg, which is really unwise.

He sighed and said, "I will report this matter. Next time you come back from transporting food, I will definitely give you foreign exchange or gold as payment."

Just let yourself pay for the food in advance, and that's no problem.

Just treat it as cash on delivery.

However, Chu Xiangqian was not so easy to deal with. He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Mr. Tang, although I have never complained, you can guess that the way I purchase food here may not be able to continue forever. .

And as the purchase amount becomes larger and larger, the pressure on my side is also very heavy. I would like to remind the superiors to openly purchase grain through official channels as soon as possible. "

Tang Lianxin had no doubt that Chu Xiangqian exaggerated the difficulty and danger in this matter.

Considering how difficult it was for the teams sent out to negotiate by the superiors, Chu Qianqian's method of secretly purchasing would definitely not be kept secret for long.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "How long can you last?"

Chu Xiangqian was not absolutely sure at this point, and as long as there was still a way, he certainly could not watch his compatriots starve to death.

Besides, although it doesn’t make money, China also pays.

All I can say is, "I will try to transport the same amount of grain as this time three or five times. No matter how much more, even if my route is not exposed, the price of wheat in North America will rise."

After that, he mentioned that the price of wheat in Magnesium Country has increased by 6%.

Tang Lianxin only needed to have someone look it up to find out. Naturally, he knew that Chu Xiangqian would not talk nonsense about it.

And if Chu Xiangqian can really transport 3 tons of grain 5 or 31 times, plus the million tons of grain he transported back before, it will already reach million to million tons of grain.

Far exceeding the 150 million tons purchase quantity set by the superiors in the middle of last year.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian not only made no money in this matter, but paid for shipping and establishing relationships.

No one can say anything wrong about Chu Xiangqian.

Later, Chu Xiangqian mentioned Xiao Kadoorie's possible sale of cattle and sheep to the Celestial Empire.

When Tang Lianxin heard that there were only a few hundred cattle and sheep per month, and at most more than a thousand cattle and sheep, he immediately lost interest.

"This matter is decided by the comrades in the south. Moreover, you don't necessarily have to pay Hong Kong dollars to buy these cattle and sheep. You can completely exchange them with daily necessities."

Chu Xiangqian understood this. Local governments would not hand over all foreign exchange to their superiors.

Moreover, hundreds of millions or even billions of export goods to Hong Kong Island every year all pass through Guangdong Province. It is indeed not difficult for Guangdong Province to exchange non-grain daily necessities for some cattle and sheep.

After Xiao Kadoorie got the goods, he slowly sold them on Hong Kong Island. Although it took time, he made more money. Chu Xiangqian was equivalent to selling cattle and sheep to Kadoorie and receiving cash in Hong Kong dollars from him.

To avoid getting some foreign exchange from China is like cutting meat.

After talking about business, Chu Xiangqian naturally refused to stay any longer, so he went out and got on his bicycle and headed home.

A few days later, during the Qingming Festival, I took my three wives and several younger brothers and sisters back to the forest farm.

Except for the second and third uncles, no one else in the forest farm was disturbed.

After paying homage to my biological father, I didn’t even eat at the forest farm at noon.

After eating some of the steamed buns with meat they brought, it was a bit unpalatable to Chu Qianqian and others.

But for the three brothers who love the country, love the people, and love Lin, it is really delicious.

A few days after returning to the capital, as soon as Chu Xiangqian had some free time, he went to Maoer Hutong and the courtyard of the Beach Festival to meet Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e.

The two of them were naturally surprised that Chu Xiangqian came back so soon, and they served Chu Xiangqian with all their heart and soul.

During this period, I naturally had to take Xue Jinglan back to my father-in-law's house for a meal.

The old lady and mother-in-law were naturally concerned about how Xue Jinglan was living on Hong Kong Island. Xue Jinglan originally thought that if she didn't adapt, she would ask her grandma and mother to go to Hong Kong Island to stay with her for a while.

But now, not only are Hong Kong students accompanying me, I have nothing to do. I often play mahjong or go shopping.

In addition, Chu Xiangqian would occasionally take everyone to watch movies or go out for a meal, and his life was not boring at all.

The old lady and mother-in-law felt relieved when they saw Xue Jinglan blushing and saying that she was doing well.

Then they started talking about the children.

They have been married for several months, but Xue Jinglan's stomach has no motive at all. The old lady and Tan Youli are really worried.

But Chu Xiangqian didn’t want it for the time being, and Xue Jinglan was helpless.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian also took the initiative to promise that he would also use contraceptive measures when he was with other women.

He even said clearly that if he wanted a child, he would have a son with Xue Jinglan first.

In this case, Xue Jinglan has nothing to worry about.

After staying in the capital for another week, seeing that it was already April in the capital and the weather was neither cold nor hot, Chu Qianqian thought for a while and decided it was time to ask his master, his wife and his uncle if they wanted to return to the capital from the ranch to live.

I sent a telegram and got a reply in just two days.

Although the ranch is good, the capital city is where I have lived for decades, and the master and master definitely want to come back.

The worst case scenario is waiting until winter before flying back to the pasture for the winter.

Chu Xiangqian simply flew back to Hong Kong Island with his three wives and younger sisters.

I planned to take care of some trivial matters, so I flew to Los Angeles to pick up the master and mistress back to the capital.

But I didn't expect that Master and the others didn't need Chu Xiangqian to take over at all. This old agent, Yi Yiantian, had super adaptability.

After one winter, I have already visited the ranch, Solvang Town, and even Santa Barbara County several times.

You can drive to buy a plane ticket yourself.

Since there was no need to pick them up, Chu Xiangqian simply chartered a flight on Hong Kong Island, and then asked the employees of the Chu Film Company in Los Angeles to pick up the master and the others to the plane.

After that, Chu Xiangqian placed the 31.4 tons of grain in the Xinshou Village warehouse in the warehouse at Kwai Chung Wharf. After three days, he notified Qian Guotai to find someone to transport the grain.

After watching through the tits that this batch of food was successfully shipped and left the waters of Hong Kong Island, Chu Xiangqian felt relieved.

Then he took the students from Hong Kong and flew back to the capital, picked up the master and his wife, and stayed in the capital for another three days before flying back to Hong Kong Island.

After that, Chu Xiangqian's thoughts were basically focused on Tianzhu's temple treasures.

The stingray sneaks onto a plane bound for Delhi and then travels with the titmice to the southwestern Indian state of Kerala.

There were tits flying in the sky, and Chu Qianqian still had an impression of the temple. It would just take some time to find the temple.

After the tit was found, and the stingrays ran all the way to join them, Chu Xiangqian had already seen through the tit, basically getting a clear picture of the situation around and inside the temple.

Although stingers live in burrows or tree holes, they actually do not know how to dig holes.

However, the stingray is already level 10.

Physique is 6.8, strength is 1.6, and agility is 3.4. Although he is not good at digging holes, his physical fitness is so abnormal that his pair of claws can dig soil as fast as a drilling machine.

It can dig even rocks, but the speed is much slower and the wear and tear on a pair of claws is also great.

Fortunately, when you encounter rocks, you can avoid them at worst. If you really can't avoid them, then dig them out by force.

When the claws are worn to a certain extent, go back to Hong Kong Island, take them into the Novice Village, drink a bottle of blood medicine, and the claws will recover again.

And because the body is small, there is no need to start digging outside the temple. You can start digging in a secret place inside the temple.

This saves a lot of time.

And what pleased Chu Xiangqian the most was that the basement of this temple was not actually closed.

You can even enter the basement directly. You only need to open the stone door of the secret room to find all kinds of gold objects, jewelry and jade stored inside.

It's a pity that for hundreds of years, no one dared to open the secret room.

This shows how powerful and powerful the temples are in Tianzhu.

But this also greatly facilitated Chu Xiangqian.

The stingray just dug three rat holes in the temple and successfully found a secret room.

Although it was pitch dark inside, the weak light from the hole made by the stingray illuminated the entire secret room with golden light and pearlescent light.

Chu Xiangqian was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Countless jewels and diamonds, countless gold coins stacked into piles of gold coins.

There are also gold necklaces that are as thick as a palm and three to four meters long. It can be said that the gold in this secret room alone is at least ten tons of gold.

There are too many jewels to count.

After confirming that the treasure has been found, the question now is how to take the treasure away.

If we go directly to Tianzhu, we are sure to take away the treasure.

But there are still hidden dangers in doing so.

After thinking about it, Chu Qianqian decided to use a clumsy method and let the stingrays transport small items such as jewelry, diamonds, gold coins, gold rings, and gold jewelry out of the robbery cave from the treasure house.

Then let the titmouse take it and fly to a deserted place to hide.

After gathering a certain number of treasures, he took Linda and Alyssa to visit relatives in Odisha.

Then he used the excuse of taking the two of them to play in Tianzhu, and one night he rode the red rabbit to the treasure hiding place and collected all the treasures that were transported out.

As for the gold bars that are as long as curtains and as thick as a palm, the stingers can only dig a hole big enough for themselves to pass through.

As long as you enter the secret room, you can take everything away with you by simply putting it into the Novice Village warehouse.

But this big hole is not that easy to dig.
