Chapter 16: Almost Robbed

Hua Xia Bank is currently the largest bank in Pengcheng. It is also the only bank that specializes in serving the residents of Pengcheng and Gangcheng and can currently conduct foreign exchange exchange.

At this time, there were three or four people queuing at several windows in the slightly shabby bank.

As soon as Chen Yu walked in, she immediately attracted everyone's attention with her fair skin, beautiful looks and fashionable clothes.

Just looking at Chen Yu's current appearance and temperament, no one at the scene would doubt that Chen Yu was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Yu still walked in gracefully.

She looked around and then walked to a window with "Exchange Office" written on it. She asked the clerk sitting inside, "Hello! Excuse me, is this where I can exchange gold?"

The clerk inside looked up at Chen Yu and nodded, "It's here."

Chen Yu smiled and said to the clerk, "Thank you!"

She saw that there were two people waiting in line, so she obediently lined up behind them.

After waiting in line for about ten minutes, it was her turn.

Chen Yu took out ten large yellow croakers from the black bag and handed them to the clerk, "Hello! Please help me exchange them into RMB."

The clerk was also a little shocked when he saw Shen Yu raise her hand and take out ten large yellow croakers.

Each yellow croaker weighs 312.5 grams. The current price of gold is 29 yuan per gram. The value of these ten yellow croakers is equal to 90,625 yuan.

In 1980, when the millionaires had just started to emerge, Chen Yu's move to exchange for more than 90,000 gold pieces shocked the clerk and the people at the nearby windows.

Fortunately, the clerk had seen many wealthy customers like Chen Yu, and she quickly responded, "Okay, wait a moment."

After the clerk checked the authenticity of the gold, he asked Chen Yu, "Hello! Would you like to apply for a passbook? It's not safe for you to hold so much money. It's better to keep it in the bank. It's safer this way."

Chen Yu thought that the original owner didn't have a passbook. She would open a store in the future and might need to use the bank to transfer money frequently. If she opened an account now, it would definitely be useful in the future.

Chen Yu smiled and replied, "Then please help me open an account and deposit 10,000 yuan first. I will need the rest of the money right away, so I won't save it. Thank you!"

The clerk managed to attract a customer, and said with a smile in a friendly manner: "Okay, I'll do it for you right away. Did you bring the letter of introduction?"

You haven't got an ID card yet, so you need a letter of introduction to prove your identity when you go in and out to do things.

Shen Yu took out a letter of introduction that the original owner had previously issued and handed it to the clerk to take a look.

After the clerk confirmed her identity and name, he opened a savings book for her with 10,000 yuan in it.

There was still 80,625 yuan left, and she gave the cash to Shen Yu.

There is no 100-yuan note yet, so the pile of more than 80,000 yuan in cash is really eye-catching.

In the entire bank, almost all the people who came to do business had their eyes fixed on the pile of money.

Chen Yu quickly put the passbook and more than 80,000 yuan into her large black bag, and said to the clerk, "Thank you! Goodbye!"

The clerk smiled and said to her, "Goodbye!"

In the early 1980s, when the overall service attitude was not very good, the clerks' service attitude was very good even when they met a wealthy customer like Chen Yu.

Chen Yu walked out of the bank's door, quickly got into the car, and drove towards Nanshanwan Village.

She had just felt that there were several malicious eyes staring at her, so the best thing to do was to leave here quickly.

She saw from the rearview mirror that a man chased out of the bank and joined several men outside the bank, probably intending to attack her.

But what they didn't expect was that Chen Yu came by car. How could they catch up with her on their two legs?

The leader of the gang could only stamp his feet and curse: "Fuck you, such a big fat sheep, and it just ran away like that!"

He turned around and angrily scolded the thugs who were following him in the bank, "You idiot, you are such a loser. Why didn't you come out and tell me earlier? You caught me completely unprepared and let her run away! You idiot, be more careful next time!"

The thug lowered his head and nodded repeatedly as he was scolded, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Chen Yu exchanged enough money to buy a store, and she was very happy.

She had thought of many plans before. Would she be questioned if she took out so many yellow croakers?

She even found a reason, but in the end, it was never used. No one even asked her where she got the things.

However, this was the only time she exchanged the yellow croaker for cash.

If she wasn't in a hurry to buy a store, Chen Yu wouldn't have exchanged the big yellow croaker for money.

With this start-up capital, once she opens a store, her future development will be faster and faster and the capital recovery will be fast.

Chen Yu drove back to Nanshan Bay and took a walk around the old street first.

She saw Grandma Wu, still sitting at the door of her house, fanning herself with a fan, watching people coming and going on the street.

Chen Yu got out of the car and greeted her with a smile, "Grandma Wu, hello!"

As soon as Grandma Wu saw Chen Yu, she stood up immediately, "Oh, pretty girl, you're here. The landlord next door just happened to come back today. I was just about to ask you, do you still want to buy his house?"

Chen Yu's eyes lit up, "Yes, I'll buy it as long as the price is right."

Grandma Wu asked her with a smile, "What about the tea fee you mentioned before..."

Chen Yu immediately replied, "As long as you help me close the deal, I'll give you this amount for the tea."

Grandma Wu saw Chen Yu raising two fingers and asked her tentatively, "Twenty dollars?"

Shen Yu smiled and nodded.

Grandma Wu was immediately happy, "Come on, I'll take you to find him now."

With the motivation of money, Grandma Wu became more active.

She immediately ran to the door next door and knocked hard, "Acai, Acai, are you there? I need you for something!"

"Here it comes, here it comes..."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a white vest, black beach pants, and flip-flops appeared in front of Shen Yu.

Chen Yu laughed secretly in her heart. This uncle was really the typical image of a landlord in the 1980s.

Zhang Youcai glanced at Grandma Wu standing in front of him. When he saw Chen Yu, his eyes lit up, "Oh, Grandma Wu, who is this beautiful girl? You brought her to see me, what's the matter?"

Grandma Wu smiled and said to him, "Acai, this beautiful girl is interested in buying your house. I'll bring her over to see the house."

Zhang Youcai saw that Shen Yu was dressed in a very elegant manner and looked like a rich person.

He also greeted Chen Yu enthusiastically, "Pretty girl, come in and take a look, come in and take a look."

Zhang Youcai and Grandma Wu accompanied Chen Yu and looked around upstairs and downstairs.

Chen Yu began to find faults with the house, "Boss, your house is too old, and there is some water seepage upstairs. If I buy it, it will cost a lot of money to renovate it. Don't make a random offer, give me a sincere price, and I will buy it if the price is right."
