Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

From the information, Lao Yang learned that Citibank had recently brought back a batch of gold from the Southeast Asian region, but he didn't know exactly how much gold there was. It was said that the United States had arranged for a ship to transport it, and that Citibank's security level had been significantly improved.

Another piece of news is that Japanese investors have been coming to Hong Kong in recent times. They are said to be trying to get involved in some financial and real estate businesses in Hong Kong and are negotiating with various banks to carry out gold and foreign exchange transfer and exchange business.

While eating, Lao Yang was thinking about tomorrow's action. After dinner, Lao Yang went back to his room to rest. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Haitang came back and saw Lao Yang at home. She passionately made love with Lao Yang again.

Old Yang got up, washed up, and went to the living room. He called housekeeper Tian and told him, "I'm going to go out for some work and won't be back tonight. Wait for the two ladies to come down and tell them."

So Lao Yang went to the garage and drove the Mustang away from the villa. Soon Lao Yang drove to a parking lot near Citibank, disguised the car and changed the license plate. Lao Yang took out the disguise tools and quickly changed into the appearance of yesterday, put on a kimono, got out of the car, and walked towards Citibank.

When he arrived at the bank lobby, a customer manager came up to him and communicated with Lao Yang in English.

Old Yang bowed slightly and said in Japanese: "I am Jiro Asai from Osaka. I came to your bank today to ask how to mortgage the gold I reserve in your bank? And is the safety of the gold guaranteed? Is there an upper limit on the amount of gold reserves?"

The account manager said to Lao Yang in Japanese with a delighted look on his face: "Hello, Mr. Asai, I am the account manager Park Eun-jae. Our Citibank is the largest financial bank in the United States. Our business capabilities and funds are the best in the world. Other banks cannot compare. Please come to the reception room to discuss in detail, Mr. Asai!"

Manager Park led Lao Yang to a luxurious reception room. After Lao Yang sat down, he made a cup of coffee for Lao Yang and introduced to Lao Yang: "Our bank does provide gold pledge loan business, and the loan with gold as collateral is calculated at a ratio of 1:1.2 to the gold transaction price on the trading day."

Old Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I would like to visit the security of your bank's vault. Is that possible?"

Manager Park said confidently: "Mr. Asai, please wait a moment. Please enjoy your coffee first. I will ask the president for help. Sorry for the delay!"

Lao Yang immediately bowed and said, "Thank you. Thank you for your hard work." Then he sat on the sofa and waited.

Manager Park left the reception room to report the situation to the bank president. The president was very interested in hearing that a Japanese businessman was going to deposit gold mortgage loans in Citibank. After learning that the other party wanted to visit the bank's vault security measures, he agreed after thinking about it. Showing the strength of the bank to customers is also a manifestation of confidence, which can greatly increase the customer's recognition rate.

So Lao Yang was allowed to visit the underground vault. Two security guards accompanied Lao Yang and Manager Park to the underground entrance. They walked along the passage for about 10 minutes before arriving at the door of the vault. The surrounding area was full of cement walls, a 2-meter-high and 3-meter-wide door made of stainless steel, and an electronic and mechanical lock core structure.

Old Yang nodded in admiration and said, "Wow, it's really amazing, worthy of being made by the world's largest country!"

Manager Park took out the keys together with the vault manager and security personnel who followed him, inserted the three keys, entered the password, and then opened the vault door. Looking at the 50-centimeter-thick steel door and the even thicker reinforced concrete wall.

Lao Yang immediately exclaimed: "Look! This is really a miracle! What kind of technology is needed to complete this project? It's really great! I believe this is the safest place in Hong Kong! When I go back, I will definitely recommend it to my partners and convince them to store their gold with me in Citibank!"

Manager Park was very happy and took Lao Yang to visit the vault. The vault was 50 meters wide and 100 meters deep. The outer layer stored banknotes, which were divided into different areas for foreign exchange. Coins and gold reserves were in the innermost layer, and it was estimated that the value was around 100 billion US dollars.

Old Yang pointed at the large expanse of gold and said excitedly: "It is worthy of being the largest international bank in the United States. This strength makes me feel relieved and satisfied!"

Lao Yang and a few others left the vault. Manager Park, the vault manager and the security guard locked the vault door and left the underground vault together. Lao Yang and Manager Park came to the lobby and immediately said goodbye to Manager Park, saying that he would go back to contact the country to ship gold. Manager Park enthusiastically sent Lao Yang out of the bank door, watched Lao Yang get in the car and left, and then returned to the bank to report with satisfaction.

After leaving the bank, Lao Yang drove around, showed up in crowded places, and took photos. He bought a plaster flag from a roadside store and walked around with it, attracting a large number of onlookers. The police came to persuade him, but Lao Yang insisted on his own way, arguing that there was no law prohibiting people from carrying flags around. The police had no choice but to follow Lao Yang from a distance, fearing that he would cause trouble.

Old Yang carried the plaster flag around and waved it a few times, which caused quite a stir and attracted a radio station to follow him live. It even attracted some Japanese groups to voice their support, and there were many news reports of people in kimonos carrying plaster flags wandering around downtown.

At about 6pm, Lao Yang put away the plaster flag and drove to a western restaurant near Citibank for dinner. At first, the western restaurant prohibited Lao Yang from entering. After Lao Yang paid the boss $1000, no one in the restaurant cared about him. Lao Yang put the plaster flag next to the table and started to order food. He ordered Japanese wagyu beef, and he actually asked for 10 servings. He also wanted Japanese sake, but the western restaurant didn't have it, so he had to order a bottle of white wine.

While eating, Lao Yang shouted: "Japanese wagyu is still the best, Japanese wagyu is the most delicious!"

The image of drinking while eating caused disgust among the diners around him, and they all reported to the waiter and asked him to be driven away. The waiter patiently explained that this did not violate the dining rules, and they were also helpless. Amid Lao Yang's noise, Lao Yang left the western restaurant at 7 o'clock in the evening. Of course, Lao Yang's meal fee was twice the normal meal fee. Lao Yang happily paid the bill, gave a tip, and left with the plaster flag, driving to Tuen Mun.

At 9:00 in the evening, Lao Yang arrived at the Longgutan Pier and met the stinky-mouthed Jiuma Tiansong who was waiting for him on the yacht.

Ma Tiansong looked at Lao Yang passionately and said, "Your Excellency is truly admirable. Today, you have caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong. I believe that the news will soon spread back to China, and your behavior will be admired by the entire nation!"

Old Yang said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. We must do something big that will attract the attention of the whole world. Let the whole world know the bravery of the Dahe people!"

Choukoujiu immediately said to Lao Yang: "I have prepared what you need, sir. Why don't we go and check the goods now?"

Lao Yang agreed immediately, and Choukoujiu led his men and Lao Yang to the fishing village. Lao Yang took a suitcase from the car and followed.

Soon they came to the house in the fishing village where the ammunition was hidden. In the living room, Choukoujiu opened the package and asked Lao Yang to inspect it. Lao Yang checked it one by one and found that it matched what he wanted, with a few more bullets.

Choukoujiu explained that these bullets were given for free to support Lao Yang's career. Lao Yang also happily handed the suitcase to Choukoujiu, who did not open it to look at it, but said to Lao Yang in admiration: "I wonder if you need any more help, sir. I can help you complete your career."

Old Yang shook his head and said sternly: "This is my personal glory and the glory of our organization. You don't deserve it!"
