Chapter 71 Smashing the Bank

Seeing Guo Youzhong return to the kitchen, He Daqing and the others also surrounded him.

"Master Guo, how come you only brought back so little money?
Although Fengze Garden's business has been bad recently, the shopkeeper shouldn't be unable to pay the wages, right? "

Just as he finished speaking, Guo Youzhong handed the banknotes forward.
"What are you talking about? Our Fengze Garden has not fallen to that level yet.
Yes, a thousand-dollar bill.

This one alone is worth the salary of both of you."

He Daqing and the others were stunned when they heard Guo Youzhong say that one gold yuan note was equivalent to a month's salary for two chefs.

It took me a while to react.
"What do you mean, Master Guo?
Ever since the reform of the gold yuan coupons began, we could not even exchange a hundred-yuan gold yuan coupon for a month's hard work in the kitchen.

Now, three months have passed, and the gold yuan has collapsed.
We worked hard in the kitchen for a month and our wages couldn't even be exchanged for a thousand-yuan gold note.

What the hell is this? "

Seeing the chefs' surprised looks, Guo Youzhong felt a little discouraged.
"You ask me, who should I ask?
When I just mentioned this to the shopkeeper, he said that it was from the old calendar many days ago.

listen,

The old almanac has changed from years to days. Just imagine how fast the world is changing."

Guo Youzhong's words frightened the chefs in the kitchen.

After a while, someone urged,

"Master Guo, let's not talk about these nonsense.
The important thing is to go out and exchange money as soon as possible. If we go too late, our wages will be reduced again!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we have to go and change the money quickly."

Guo Youzhong reacted and after saying a few words, he called He Yuzhu and several other apprentices to go to the silver dollar black market together.

After more than a week of development,
The price of silver dollars on the black market has risen from 1:20 a few days ago to 1:30.

This is because the banks in Xijiaominxiang were cashing out small amounts of money every day in a steady manner, giving the common people some hope.

Otherwise, the price of gold and silver on the black market would be much higher.

Guo Youzhong had just put the several hundred dollars he had exchanged into the bags on He Yuzhu's shoulders when he heard someone outside the black market exclaiming,
"Smash the bank! Smash the bank!

The soldiers are smashing the bank!"

Hearing this news, Guo Youzhong and the silver dollar dealer next to him looked out in confusion.
Then I saw a flustered crowd coming from the inner city, passing through the Qianmen Tower and pouring into Zhengyangmen Street.

He was still shouting something.

Seeing the abnormal situation outside, the entire black market gold and silver transactions stopped.

Whether it is the silver dollar dealers or the ordinary people who exchange money, they are all waiting and watching, hoping that something beneficial to them will happen next.

Soon, those who poured into Zhengyang Gate brought the latest news.

It turned out that some soldiers didn't get the bank's number plate and were unwilling to suffer losses by going to the black market, so they smashed the bank in anger.

"Ouch!

Where on earth did these suicidal guys come from? They dared to do this without asking any questions. They are really risking their lives."

"I heard that he was just transferred from another place. He probably doesn't understand the rules of Peking.

Otherwise, I would definitely not dare to do this."

"Of course. If they knew who the Fifth Master, who is in charge of the bank's money exchange, is, they would definitely not dare to do this."

……

Just as the people in the black market were talking about it, they saw Lin Wenhua and a large group of his men sitting in a military vehicle and heading straight to Xijiaomin Lane.

"Those soldiers are going to be in trouble. If they don't die, they will be skinned alive."

"Of course. Can they get away with anything if they fall into the hands of Master Wu?"

……

The crowd had just begun to discuss a few words when they heard a gunshot from the inner city. "Master Wu is too cruel. He kills right away."

"What do you know? The longer things like this are delayed, the more trouble they will cause. We have to cut the Gordian knot.
Otherwise you are just a nobody, I am the Fifth Master!"

"Yes, Master Wu is very experienced, otherwise he might not be able to control these soldiers."

……

Just when everyone was praising Lin Wenhua for his ruthless tactics and how he easily dealt with that group of soldiers,
He was seen running out of the front gate in a panic with a group of his men, all with bruised faces and noses.

Seeing this situation,

The common people along the way understood that he had failed to deal with the gang of soldiers, and instead got a severe beating, and even his car was confiscated.

Suddenly they all looked at each other in confusion.

But seeing the Confidentiality Bureau members being beaten up, everyone was afraid of getting into trouble, so no one dared to speak.
When Lin Wenhua and the others returned to the overpass, someone said cautiously,

"What the hell is going on?

That's the Secret Service.

When the soldiers saw the people from the Secret Service, although they didn't like them from the bottom of their hearts, they were also as scared as mice seeing a cat.

How dare you beat them up today and even confiscate their car?"

Hearing this, everyone nearby shook their heads, saying that they didn't know why it was so abnormal today.

Then I heard the silver dollar dealer next to me say,
"Man, it's none of your business whether the Secret Service or those soldiers beat up whom. Are you still interested in exchanging money?"

"Hurry up and change the money, change the money, 40 gold yuan notes for 1 dollar."

When the common people who had not exchanged their silver coins heard the silver dollar dealers raising the price, they all jumped up and down in anger and looked at them angrily.

"You are too shameless.

It was 30 gold yuan notes just now, and it has gone up to 40 in the blink of an eye, grab the money!"

"Of course you are. If you keep asking for too much, be careful that you end up giving birth to a son without an asshole."

……

Hearing the accusations from the common people, the silver dollar dealers didn't care at all and just looked at them with a smile.

"I said you can do it.

We are just doing business, we value a clear price and fair treatment. It is up to you whether you are willing to change or not.
If you don't want to change, then don't change. Why are you scolding me?"

"Of course you did. When you were offering 30 gold yuan notes just now, you didn't rush to exchange them. You were just waiting to see how the situation would develop so that you could bargain with us.

It is understandable that we are raising prices now.
If you don’t want to change, you can go to the bank. We are not stopping you.”

After hearing this, the people present didn't know what to say. The banks had been smashed. Where could they go to banks now?
Besides, if we run into those soldiers, it won't just be a matter of money.

If you are not careful, you may even lose your life.
Didn’t you see that even Mr. Lin Wuye from the Secret Service was beaten black and blue by them, let alone these ordinary people.

Just when they thought of this, they began to wonder what had happened to cause such a big change in their minds.

Then, someone exclaimed,

"Catch the Ding! Catch the Ding! Everybody run!"

When they heard about the arrest, whether they were ordinary people changing money in the black market or silver dollar dealers with some background, they all put the money in their pockets without even thinking and ran away.

"Zhu Zi, Li Jian, hurry back, the higher-ups are arresting Ding for a fight!"

When He Yuzhu and his companions ran back to Fengze Garden, the entire Zhushikou Street outside the gate was in chaos.

Luan Xuetang and the others were also inquiring about the situation.
