It's over. I was fooled by this old guy again. I want less. But Liu Xialian was relieved soon. It's not easy for middlemen to make money by taking advantage of information asymmetry. Their connections are accumulated over decades or even hundreds of years.

Liu Xialian gave him the ginseng directly, and Boss Chen took out 50,000 yuan in cash and gave it to Liu Xialian neatly. Now he just needs to go to the county bank and transfer 200,000 yuan to Liu Xialian. "

Boss Chen had an open jeep. Boss Chen sat in the passenger seat, Liu Xia Lian and Xiao Dong sat in the back seat, and they drove all the way to the county town at a speed of 40 miles per hour.

The county roads of this era had not yet been paved with asphalt, and running forty yards on the rammed earth road was considered a sprint.

We sped all the way and arrived at the county town at exactly one o'clock.

Liu Xia Lian suggested: "Uncle Chen, let's eat something first, and then go to the bank."

"No, we Cantonese people are serious about doing business. Eating is just a small matter. I treat you, but you treat me for only a few dollars, so we have to do business first."

"What Uncle Chen said makes sense, so let's go do business first."

It was just the end of the working day, and the counter windows were all closed, but that didn't bother Mr. Chen. He just said to the teller, "Go find your President Wang and tell him that I have something urgent to discuss."

"Ok."

After a while, a bald middle-aged man came out. He was thin and had a pen pinned to his clothes.

"Old Chen, what kind of business is this?"

"Hurry up, transfer 200,000 yuan to this young comrade's passbook."

When President Wang heard this, he realized that this was a big deal and immediately asked Liu Xialian, "Little comrade, do you have a passbook?"

"I have a passbook opened at your bank in the city. Is it valid in the county?"

President Wang said: "It can be used. As long as it is our bank's, it will be universal."

Liu Xialian handed the bankbook to the president, who was stunned when he saw it. A current deposit of 400,000 yuan. How could this person be so rich? There was actually such a person in the county, and he didn't even know about it. 400,000 yuan is nothing. A large factory with thousands of employees only pays this much money a month.

"Why did Old Chen give so much money to this young comrade all at once?"

"I got some mountain products, a 150-year-old mountain ginseng."

President Wang almost fell down when he heard this. You call a 150-year-old ginseng a mountain product? Aren't mountain products all 3.5 yuan per pound?

"No, is this wild ginseng so easy to find?"

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "It was easy to find. It only took two days. It was very fast."

The teller inside was a young man in his twenties, good-looking and talkative: "Why don't I quit my job and go collect ginseng? I can write you a bill that will pay for decades of my salary."

Boss Chen said, "You can't do it. You're too skinny. You can't even feed the wolves. Don't be greedy for the money you can earn from mountaineering. This is a life-threatening job. Don't force yourself to do it if you don't have the life."

The teller was bored and quickly handled Liu Xialian's business. President Wang winked at the teller, who came out and served tea and water to the two.

The teller said, "Comrade Liu, how about you arrange for this 600,000 yuan to be put into a fixed deposit for five years, with an annual interest rate of 7%. This means that you can deposit the money and do nothing, and you will still be able to spend the interest every year."

"No, although I don't need the money right now, I don't know when I will need it. It will be inconvenient at that time. It will be a big problem if I can't take out the money when I need it urgently."

"How about this, you can get a one-year term with an interest rate of 5.4%, and renew it once a year. If you change it to a current account, you can withdraw it at any time, but the interest rate will not be that high."

"Okay, let's get a one-year fixed-term loan. Let me take a look at the contract." Although Liu Xialian didn't have a high level of education, she had a lot of experience and lived two lives. She knew everything. However, banks are still more practical these days, without so many tricks. It's done. Boss Chen accompanied Liu Xialian out of the bank. Xiao Dong was stomping his feet back and forth at the door. The temperature was still more than ten degrees below zero.

Boss Chen slapped his head and said, "It's bad. The Hong Kong merchants are very anxious to get the goods. I have to go to the city now and then take the train back. I can't send you two back."

"Oh, it's okay. We can take a bus back to the forest farm. There are many buses now."

Boss Chen got into the jeep and drove away. The teller came out of the bank holding the car keys.

"Are you two going to the bus station? I'll take you there and I'll drive you later."

After saying that, he happily went to drive the car. After a while, the car stopped in front of Liu Xia Lian and Xiao Dong. The teller opened the door and let the two sit in before driving away.

Other depositors who came to do business praised: "Wow, this bank is the right choice. Look at the great service. I'll ask them to take me back later."

The teller inside knocked on the window: "Why are you daydreaming? It's your turn to do business."

"Well, can you send me back after I deposit the money?"

"No gift, you can deposit it if you want." The teller took a look at the dozen or so yuan in change in the depositor's hand and rolled his eyes.

When we got to the bus station, the teller said goodbye very politely, which made Xiao Dong confused. He had come to this bank several times to collect the salary from the forest farm every month. The attitude was pretty good, but not so polite.

Liu Xia Lian took out ten big unity notes and said, "Xiao Dong, I'll give you some money for cigarettes."

Xiao Dong took it in surprise, counted it, and put it back.

"No, our relationship is too formal. What do you think of me, Xiao Dong? I'm not a money-grubber."

"Stop talking nonsense. I told you that I trust you. We have a good relationship. But no matter how good our relationship is, I can't order people around for free. If you ask for help, I have to pay you. If you don't take it, how can I ask you to help me next time? Although it's just simple companionship, it's really risky when something happens."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." He got engaged before the New Year and was planning to get married this year. He was worried about the three changes and one ring.

My wife is a rural girl. She is very satisfied with her job in a large state-owned enterprise. Although she earns little, she has great potential.

"That's right, no need to be so polite, use it to buy something for home."

Xiao Dong felt warm in his heart. He was different from Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu wanted to pursue Liu Xia Lian at the beginning, but Xiao Dong knew his own limitations and had no such intention at all. When Liu Jingwen got into trouble, the two brothers helped a lot.

Liu Xialian bought a ticket and got on the bus. Suddenly, she saw three skinny young men getting on the bus. She immediately said to Xiao Dong, "It's bad. Three robbers got on the bus."

"Is it coming for you?"

"No, I don't have any money on me. I just have a passbook. It's useless to give it to them. They must be targeting you. You were seen when you were putting the money in."

Ten great unities are definitely a lot of money in this era.

There were not many people going to the forest farm in the afternoon. There were a total of eighteen seats, but only ten were occupied. The driver had a fixed salary and had to drive at the appointed time.

"The next stop is Xiaowangzhuang. Call me in advance when you get off. Don't blame me if you call me too late." The driver started the car while cursing, drove out of the station, and quickly left the county.

There were a lot of cars in the county town, but when I got out, I saw that there were fewer cars. I could hardly see any cars, and occasionally I could see tractors and horse-drawn carriages. The car was only five or six miles out of the county town when a young man hit the driver with a sharp knife. It was obviously not the first time the driver had encountered such a situation, so he stopped the car on the side of the road.
