Double Agent Saga

Zuo Shaoqing realized that she couldn't agree to everything, and it was reasonable to express her opposition.

She smiled and said, "Comrade manager, I don't want to touch the dollars and gold, I want to save it for later."

The manager said earnestly: "I'm sorry, Comrade Zuo, this is the rule of the superior."

Zuo Shaoqing pretended to be arguing with reason, and said: "But, this is my private property, how to deal with it should be my right."

The manager waved his hands and said: "I am also very sorry, these are indeed national regulations. In the past, you were not here, and without your signature, we could not move casually, so we still keep these foreign exchange and gold. Now that you are here, we must Follow the rules of the state."

"I have no other choice?" Zuo Shaoqing took a breath.

"There is no other choice. These are state regulations, and all foreign exchange and gold are managed by the state."

In such a situation, Zuo Shaoqing needed to turn around, so he turned his gaze to Liu Qiuyue and looked at her with a smile.

Liu Qiuyue is extremely smart, so she naturally understood what she meant.She had been very nervous before, and her face was more serious.At this time, he waved his hand and said with a very unhappy look: "I don't care, anyway, it is your decision, and you will explain any troubles in the future, and it is none of my business." After saying that, he turned his face away to the side. [

Zuo Shaoqing turned his face to the manager and said with a smile: "Our family has some troubles, can we discuss it and keep some of it for me?"

The manager shook his head, "I'm really sorry, I have to hand over everything, please bear with me."

Zuo Shaoqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then, let's do this. What else is there?"

The manager said: "There is a third thing. In this account, there are still some foreign investments, such as investing in stocks in London, investing in foreign exchange in Hong Kong, etc. In the past, these investments have been recovered, but no one has signed for them. , Therefore, it is still pending on the account, and I need to ask you to sign for it one by one. This matter will take some effort. "

Zuo Shaoqing suddenly remembered that when Ye Gongjin imprisoned Du Ziyuan in Xufu Lane, he wanted him to recover the investment.Looking at it now, these investments have indeed been recovered, but Ye Gongjin didn't have time to sign for it.

She smiled and said, "I know about this, it was taken back before liberation, right?"

The manager smiled and nodded, "Exactly."

Zuo Shaoqing said: "It was quite chaotic at that time, and the family was busy with other things, which delayed this matter. Comrade manager, should the foreign exchange also be handed over?"

The manager smiled and nodded again, "Yes."

Zuo Shaoqing waved his hand, "Forget it, let's follow the national regulations." Then he turned around and said, "Qiuyue, don't be unhappy, this is the only way to go."

Liu Qiuyue waved her hand, "I don't care, as long as you give me the money."

Hearing this, the manager gestured to the two clerks sitting at the door.The two clerks immediately got busy.

The next process is very long.The two clerks crackled their abacus, filling in the receipts, running to the desk to make phone calls, and running out to get the account books or send telegrams.Then send the documents one by one to the manager for his signature.After the manager signed it, he handed it over to Zuo Shaoqing.Zuo Shaoqing carefully stamped the receipt and handed it to Liu Qiuyue.

The numbers on each receipt were huge, which shocked Liu Qiuyue.But she always pursed her lips, with a look of disdain, and threw the list she had read on the table.

After a full two hours, all the procedures for clearing the accounts were completed. [

Zuo Shaoqing turned to Liu Qiuyue and said, "Qiuyue, don't be angry, all the money will be transferred to your name, is that okay?"

Liu Qiuyue said, "I want cash! I want it now!"

Zuo Shaoqing turned to the manager and said, "Please, transfer all the money to her name. In addition, take another 1 yuan in cash, okay?"

The manager nodded repeatedly, "Okay, no problem."

After another half an hour, a newly issued deposit receipt and ten bundles of ten-yuan bills were neatly placed in front of them.Zuo Shaoqing didn't even look at it, so he put the deposit receipt into his pocket, and only put the ten bundles of banknotes in front of Liu Qiuyue.

Without hesitation, Liu Qiuyue took out the canvas bag she had prepared and put the banknotes neatly into it.

The manager smiled, rubbed his hands and shook hands with them one by one to say goodbye.

Zuo Shaoqing could see that the clearing of this account must be a major achievement for him.

Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Qiuyue left the bank and hailed a tricycle outside the door.

Sitting in the car, Zuo Shaoqing said with a smile: "Qiuyue, I didn't expect that we went well, didn't we?"

Liu Qiuyue also covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister, I'm quite nervous. I'm so worried that they will call the police station."

"Me too. But the manager is happy too."

"Sister, you don't know, the money in this account before was just a number, it was neither a deposit, nor could it be used for lending. Now, a large sum of deposits has suddenly increased in his bank, of course he is happy." She Patted the canvas bag in his arms, "Sister, we have 1 yuan now, it's so heavy!"

"Now, our financial problems are all solved."

"Sister, it's 1 yuan. All problems have been solved." Liu Qiuyue blushed with joy.

It's no wonder.Today's people don't take 1 yuan as a big deal anymore.But at the time, it was a real huge sum of money.It will be many years later when China enters the period of reform and opening up, and when a small group of rich people finally appear in society, they will be called "million-dollar households". , means something.

At this time, Zuo Shaoqing took out the certificate of deposit and handed it to Liu Qiuyue.

Liu Qiuyue counted with her fingertips, opened her mouth wide and said, "Sister, there are more than 17 in total! Ye Gongjin really saved a lot of money. In fact, we have enough 1 yuan."

Zuo Shaoqing smiled and said, "I won't keep it for him. It can be regarded as his support for us."

Liu Qiuyue smiled and said, "Now, I can buy whatever I want."

Zuo Shaoqing also smiled, "Go ahead, buy whatever you need."

However, Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Qiuyue were so happy, but Ye Gongjin, who was far away in Taipei, was not happy.These are all his private money.

About a week later, Ye Gongjin learned the sad news.However, this sad news also convinced him that his previous judgments about Zuo Shaoqing were all accurate.

In the afternoon of this day, Liu Qiuyue packed a full 200 yuan in her pocket, all of which were ten yuan bills, and went straight to the Fuzimiao Waste Hardware and Electricity Store.In today's words, she is going to "Taobao".

The old hardware store that Liu Qiuyue entered was formed by the collusion of several uneven, dark and chaotic old houses.Along the walls stood rickety wooden shelves crammed with electrical appliances, parts, wires, and a host of other unnamed items.There are several long tables in the middle, which are scattered with various electrical components and hardware accessories.Everything is dirty, old, incomplete, and dusty.

Liu Qiuyue shuttled between these shelves and tables, looking for what she wanted.

She went as far as a corner.When she came yesterday, she noticed that there was a standing radio on the shelf by the wall. It was an Asian-American five-lamp radio, which was exactly the kind she wanted.

During the Anti-Japanese War, she fled to Wuhan with her aunt's family.In Hankou, she entered the radio training class run by the Military Command.One of the lessons is to learn the receiver part of the shortwave radio station through the radio.The teaching aid used is this Asian American brand radio.Her teacher spoke highly of this radio and thought it was the top radio in China.Even in the world, it can be ranked in the forefront.The teacher also explained the radio in great detail.This class gave Liu Qiuyue a deep understanding and memory of this radio.

Even if she recalls today, the various functions of this radio are still fresh in her memory.

This Yamei brand superheterodyne five-lamp radio was produced by Shanghai Xiandian Co., Ltd. in [-].But its internal circuit was designed by an American company, and the electronic tubes used were specially customized for this radio by American R company.

This set of tubes is known in the industry as the "America Ponte".It is intended to be an "OEM" product produced by an American company for a Chinese company.This is just the opposite of today's Chinese companies producing "OEM" products for foreign companies.But to this day, the words "America Ponte" have become a compliment to this set of electronic tubes, indicating that its quality is indeed superior.

What Liu Qiuyue took a fancy to was the short-wave frequency band of this Yamei brand radio, which was famous for its sensitivity and clarity.

However, the radio that Liu Qiuyue saw was broken, and its price was only 15 yuan.Now, with a full 200 yuan in her pocket, Liu Qiuyue walked towards the boss standing at the counter in the corner confidently.

The balding fat boss is leaning over the counter and reading a newspaper.

Liu Qiuyue judged that he was about 50 years old.On his swollen face, the most conspicuous are his big eyeballs and his small shiny eyes.

He had noticed the young girl walking towards him.He took off the cigarette from his mouth, looked at her with inquiring eyes, and judged whether she was a sincere buyer.

Liu Qiuyue walked to the counter and asked with a smile, "Boss, what's your surname?"

The fat boss nodded to her and said, "Miangui, your surname is Tu. Did you fancy anything?"

Liu Qiuyue turned her head and pointed to the radio on the shelf, "Boss Tu, what's the matter, is that radio broken?"

He glanced over there and said, "Yes, it's bad."

Liu Qiuyue said, "Why don't you fix it. If it's good, I want to buy it."
