After everything was arranged and the people were sent away, Jia Youcai closed the door.
I was alone in a room, opening all the boxes in the space, more than a dozen boxes.
They were neatly laid out on the ground, and the most common items were silver coins, jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Small yellow croaker, large yellow croaker, pounds and US dollars only account for a small part.
After collecting the gold, he found that there were more than 30,000 pounds and more than 50,000 US dollars. He put the gold together, put it in a large wicker box, and weighed it.
Jia Youcai estimated that it was about 100 kilograms. The price of gold is about US$35 per ounce, and 100 kilograms is about 7,000 ounces.
That's equivalent to $245,000, plus the cash exchange rate of one pound to three dollars, which is almost $400,000.
It doesn't count the dollars, the number is too large. One dollar is worth one dollar, and there are several boxes. I guess they are not worth much, at most tens of thousands of dollars.
Jade antiques are difficult to estimate.
Only counting 400,000 US dollars, the data shows that one US dollar is exchanged for 2.4 RMB. This is just the official price, and it will fluctuate by a few cents later.
Based on the current urban prices, Jia Youcai made a fortune and had over one million in cash, becoming a true millionaire in his fifties.
Jia Youcai, in a good mood, tidied up his things a little, put them away, grabbed two handfuls of jewelry and knocked on the doors of the two sisters' rooms opposite.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Jia Youcai asked the two sisters to rest in the hotel.
I started doing it myself and brought other people with me, so there was no need to go to the bank to exchange Hong Kong dollars.
There are foreign exchange and gold, which are both hard currencies. They are easier to use for buying and selling things than Hong Kong dollars, and you can also negotiate prices down.
It’s just a little troublesome to convert, and Jia Youcai has no plans to deposit the money he earns into other banks in the future.
He just opened one himself. There are no Chinese banks in Hong Kong now. Most of them are old silver banks. You may not get any interest when depositing money, and you may have to pay a storage fee.
If you deposit your money into a bank, who knows what business he will do with it? If he loses money, you will go bankrupt and lose everything.
It's better to open an insurance company yourself. Whoever wants to deposit money there will not get any interest and will have to pay a storage fee. It's like using the Swiss bank system, where they only recognize the key and not the person.
If the person dies and the money is not withdrawn, it will all belong to the bank. Just look at how the Swiss banks harvested the Jews during the First World War.
In this way, Jia Youcai took a few people to walk around the city a few times and they were almost familiar with it.
The capital city is not very big now, with a population of only 600,000 to 700,000. It will take a few months before millions of people can pour in.
Even now, thousands or even tens of thousands of people enter the port every day.
The rich naturally live in the city, while the poor find a few pieces of wood in the countryside and build wooden houses directly. This is how shanty towns came into being.
Since you have entered the capital world, of course you have to use the rules of capital. It is useless to be sentimental, and you don't have the ability to do so.
Jia Youcai started to ask a few people, two of them to go out together to buy a house, find a lawyer, have a house deed, have a guarantor, and pay the deed tax.
The ID cards haven’t been issued yet, so there is a language barrier, but it’s not Cantonese.
It was not until the 1970s that Hong Kong Cantonese took shape on a large scale.
The personnel are now complex and chaotic, most of them are from the mainland, with the largest number from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
After Jia Youcai and his men settled down in Hong Kong, Jia Youcai planned to let Pianerye set up a radio station.
The storytelling in authentic local dialect is broadcast to the people of Hong Kong Island every day.
