Chapter 85 The trouble of having too much money

Gao Jiawang and Qian Xiangdong did the same. They stretched their necks, widened their eyes, and swallowed saliva with difficulty. They had never seen so much money piled together in their lives.

Gao Jialin did not disturb them but stood there quietly, allowing them to enjoy this rare experience.

After a long while, Gao Jiawang finally came to his senses. "Jialin, put the money away and find a place to hide it."

"Yes, yes, it's too dangerous with so much money." Xie Chao nodded repeatedly when he heard it.

"Come on, let's go to my place and count the money first, and then we'll divide it!" The four of them got on the minibus with their boxes. Gao Jialin drove them back to Tai'an Road. He had used his connections to get a driver's license some time ago.

He closed the door and went upstairs. He drew the curtains in the room on the top floor and turned on all the lights. "Let's count. Divide into two groups. Each person counts a part. After counting, exchange and check!"

Four people sat on the sofa, each of them picking up a pile of banknotes and counting them. They counted the tens of dollars first, and tied a hundred of them into a bundle, first one bundle, then two bundles, then five bundles, and ten bundles. After counting the ten-dollar bills, they counted the five-dollar bills, also tied a hundred into a bundle. As they were counting, Xie Chao couldn't help but say, "I never thought I would get tired of counting money. Now my hands are almost cramping."

"Me too. My hands start shaking badly when I think about having to exchange and verify them later." Gao Jiawang also felt numb.

Even Gao Jialin began to miss the era of electronic payment. How easy it is to just scan the code to receive payment. Why would you need to count the money? Even if there is no electronic payment, it would be nice to have some large bills of fifty or one hundred yuan.

Unfortunately, the fourth set of RMB will not be issued until the year after next. Currently, the largest denomination is the ten-yuan Great Unity. They collected so much money today, and it was really hard to count it.

I don't know who started it first, but the four people's stomachs started growling. They had been busy all day and hadn't even eaten much.

Just at this time, the first round of counting was over, so Gao Jialin took out some change and stuffed it into Gao Jiawang's pocket, "Let's go to the intersection and buy some food. Forget about the wine. I'm afraid no one wants to drink today. Let's go out for dinner tomorrow, I'll treat you all!"

Soon, Gao Jiawang came back with a bunch of food. Fortunately, there are more self-employed people now. A few years ago, even if you had money, you would have nowhere to buy it. Who would continue to work in the state-owned canteen after nine o'clock in the evening?

Everyone ate some food and continued counting. Finally, they finished counting the money. Gao Jialin informed everyone, "Today we sold a total of 36,785.94 yuan. Now I'll pay you. Jiawang, Xiangdong, go downstairs and wait. Come up when I call you!"

The two of them went downstairs with a chuckle. Gao Jialin took out three bundles of ten yuan, one bundle of five yuan, and one bundle of two yuan and put them in front of Xie Chao. "You called all the customers this time. We agreed before that you should get a 10% commission. I'll round it up to three thousand seven hundred yuan. You count it and keep it. I don't care how you tell your family when you go back. Just let me know in advance if you need to contact them."

"Hiss~ Are you really giving it to me?" Xie Chao pinched his thigh hard, grimacing in pain, but still couldn't believe it was real.

"I'm a man of my words. If I said I'd give you 10%, I won't give you a cent less. If it weren't for your introduction, how could there be so many customers? You've put in so much effort, this is what you deserve." Gao Jialin said as he took out a backpack and handed it over, "Count it and put it here!"

"No need to count, no need to count. I've already counted it twice. If you count again, I'll go crazy." Xie Chao quickly stuffed the money into his bag and held it tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go.

"Okay, go get Jia Wang and wait for a while. It's not safe for you to carry so much money back so late. I'll drive you."

Soon, Gao Jiawang and Qian Xiangdong also got their share of the money. The four of them were eligible to share the profits. As for the other people in the factory, Gao Jialin would not treat them unfairly. He would give them a bonus tomorrow. As long as their performance was good in the future, they would definitely live a good life.

After the money was distributed, Gao Jialin gathered them together again and reminded them, "Don't show off your wealth. Remember this. Don't show off when you go back. The policy is a bit more relaxed now, but we make a lot of money. If more people know about it, we will inevitably get into trouble. Losing money is not a big deal, but if something happens to you, it will be too late to regret it then."

"I know. I'll find a bank far away to deposit the money tomorrow and keep it at home only for emergencies!" Xie Chao is old and understands what Gao Jialin means.

Not only did he think it through for himself, he also considered his brother-in-law's share. "You can stay at my place tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the bank to deposit the money. Your sister and I will go to your house tonight and talk to our parents about this. Only we know that you've made money. No one else is allowed to tell. If they ask, just say it's 200 yuan a month."

"No, brother-in-law, why can't I tell others that I have made money?" Qian Xiangdong had stayed at home for more than a year and was fed up with other people's cold words. Now that he finally made money, he couldn't show off to others. He must be unhappy.

"Tell me, just say it if you want to send yourself to jail! If the old man hadn't spoken, Nian Guangjiu of Shazi Guazi would have been arrested long ago! The policies are more relaxed now, but no one can guarantee if there won't be unrest. What if you show off everywhere and someone gets jealous and reports you? By then, not to mention you, your sister and I might also have to go to jail!" Xie Chao scolded harshly.

"Brother Chao, Xiangdong is still young and doesn't understand these things. Don't blame him. Just explain it clearly." Gao Jialin advised gently. Since the establishment of the furniture factory, their relationship has become closer.

He had played the good cop role well, so Gao Jialin continued to play the bad cop role, "Xiangdong, your brother-in-law is doing this for your own good. The situation is unclear now, so it won't hurt for us to keep a low profile. When the policies are further relaxed, it won't be too late for you to tell others that you have made a fortune."

"Besides, not telling others that you have money and not spending it are two different things. If you want to spend money, take your parents, sister, and brother-in-law to the Peace Hotel for a big meal, and go to the First Department Store to buy yourself clothes. Can they stop you? Just spend it yourself and don't show it off."

"No, no, Xiangdong is successful now, it's normal for him to spend some money. But he can't spend it recklessly, he still has to save money to get married." Xie Chao also felt that since he had earned so much, it was only right for him to enjoy himself a little.

When talking about his wife, Qian Xiangdong's face turned red, and the little grudge he had just had disappeared.

After chatting for a while, Gao Jialin drove them back to Xie Chao's home. Seeing so much money, Xie Chao's wife was also shocked.

At night, Xie Chao and his wife were in the bedroom, and Qian Xiangdong was lying on the sofa in the living room. The three of them tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. For the first time, they experienced the troubles of having too much money.
