Huaxia Bank is currently the largest bank in Shenzhen and the only bank in Shenzhen that can handle foreign exchange, serving residents of both Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
At this moment, inside the somewhat dilapidated bank, there were three or four people queuing at several windows.
As soon as Shen Yu walked in, her fair skin, beautiful appearance, and fashionable clothes immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Judging from Shen Yu's current appearance and temperament, no one present would doubt that she is a rich young lady.
Despite being watched by everyone, Shen Yu walked in with composure and grace.
She glanced around before walking to a window marked "Exchange," and quietly asked the clerk inside, "Excuse me, is this where I exchange gold?"
The clerk inside looked up at Shen Yu and nodded. "It's here."
Shen Yu smiled and said to the clerk, "Thank you!"
She saw that there were two other people in line, so she obediently joined the back of the line.
After waiting in line for about ten minutes, it was her turn.
Shen Yu took out ten large yellow croakers from her black bag and handed them to the clerk. "Hello! Please exchange them for RMB."
The clerk was somewhat shocked to see Shen Yu raise her hand and take out ten large yellow croakers.
Each large yellow croaker weighs 312.5 grams. The current price of gold is 29 yuan per gram. The value of these ten large yellow croakers is equivalent to 29 yuan.
In the 1980s, when the concept of "ten-thousand-yuan households" had only recently emerged, Shen Yu's decision to exchange over ninety thousand yuan worth of gold shocked the clerk and the people at the surrounding windows.
Fortunately, the clerk had seen many big spenders like Shen Yu, and she quickly realized what was going on. "Okay, please wait a moment."
After checking the authenticity of the gold, the clerk asked Shen Yu, "Hello! Would you like to open a savings account? It's not safe for you to keep so much money. It would be safer to deposit it in the bank."
Shen Yu realized that the original owner didn't have a bankbook yet. She would be opening a shop in the future and would probably need to use a bank to make remittances frequently. Opening an account now would definitely be useful in the future.
Shen Yu smiled and replied, "Then please help me open an account and deposit 10,000 yuan first. I need the rest of the money right away, so I won't deposit it. Thank you!"
The clerk, having at least secured a customer, smiled warmly and said, "Okay, I'll process it for you right away. Did you bring the letter of introduction?"
Currently, ID cards are not issued, and you need a letter of introduction to prove your identity when entering or leaving the premises.
Shen Yu took out a letter of introduction that the original owner had written and handed it to the clerk to look at.
After the clerk confirmed her identity and name, he opened a savings account for her with 10,000 yuan.
She gave the remaining yuan to Shen Yu in cash.
There aren't any 100-yuan banknotes yet, so this pile of over 80,000 yuan in cash is really eye-catching.
Throughout the bank, almost everyone who came to conduct business had their eyes fixed on the pile of money.
Shen Yu quickly stuffed the passbook and more than 80,000 yuan into her large black handbag, and said to the clerk, "Thank you! Goodbye!"
The clerk smiled and replied, "Goodbye!"
In the early 1980s, when the overall service attitude was not good, the clerks were very friendly to wealthy customers like Shen Yu.
Shen Yu left the bank, quickly got into her car, and sped off towards Nanshanwan Village.
She had already sensed several malicious gazes fixed on her, so leaving this place as soon as possible was the best course of action.
She saw in her rearview mirror that a man chased after her from inside the bank and met up with several men outside, presumably intending to harm her.
What they didn't expect was that Shen Yu came by car. How could they possibly catch up with her on foot?
The leader of the thugs could only stomp his feet and curse angrily: "Damn it! Such a big fat sheep, and it just got away like that!"
He then turned and angrily cursed the thugs who were stalking the bank, "You bastard, you're a real piece of trash! Why didn't you tell us sooner? We were completely unprepared, and she got away! You damn bastard, be smarter next time!"
The thug lowered his head and listened to the scolding, nodding repeatedly and replying, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Shen Yu was overjoyed to have enough money to buy a shop.
She had considered many options beforehand, but would taking out so many large yellow croakers attract unwanted attention and lead to questioning?
She had even prepared a reason, but it was completely useless; they didn't even ask her where she got the things.
However, she only did the thing of exchanging large yellow croakers for cash this one time.
If she hadn't been in a hurry to buy a shop, Shen Yu wouldn't have put the large yellow croaker out to exchange for money.
With this start-up capital, once she opens the store, her subsequent development will accelerate, and her capital recovery will be swift.
Shen Yu drove back to Nanshan Bay and first took a stroll around the old street.
She saw Granny Wu sitting at her doorstep, fanning herself, watching people come and go on the street.
Shen Yu got out of the car and greeted the old lady with a smile, "Grandma Wu, hello!"
As soon as Granny Wu saw Shen Yu, she immediately stood up. "Oh my, beautiful young lady, you're here! The landlord next door just came back today. I was just about to ask you if you still want to buy his house?"
Shen 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..."
Shen Yu immediately replied, "As long as you help me close the deal, I'll give you this amount as a tea fee."
Grandma Wu saw Shen Yu holding up two fingers and tentatively asked, "Twenty yuan?"
Shen Yu smiled and nodded.
Grandma Wu immediately laughed, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to find him right now."
With money as a motivator, Grandma Wu became very proactive.
She immediately ran to the front door next door and knocked loudly, "Ah Cai, Ah Cai, are you there? I need to talk to you!"
"They're here, they're here..."
The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a white vest, black beach shorts, and flip-flops appeared in front of Shen Yu.
Shen Yu chuckled inwardly; this uncle really was a typical landlord from the 1980s.
Zhang Youcai glanced at Granny Wu standing in front of him, and when he saw Shen Yu, his eyes lit up. "Oh my, Granny Wu, who is this pretty girl? What brings you here?"
Grandma Wu smiled and said to him, "Ah Cai, this pretty young lady is interested in buying your house. I brought her over to take a look at the house."
Zhang Youcai could tell from Shen Yu's imposing manner that she looked like a wealthy person.
He also warmly greeted Shen Yu, "Beautiful lady, come in and have a look, come in and have a look."
Zhang Youcai and Granny Wu accompanied Shen Yu as they looked around the house, upstairs and downstairs.
Shen Yu started picking on the house, "Boss, this house is too old, and there's some water leakage upstairs. If I buy it, the renovation will cost a lot of money. Don't ask for a random price. Give me a fair price. If the price is right, I'll buy it."
