Chapter 11 Offending People
Tang Ying handed the donation box filled with bank notices, checks and cash together with the account book to Feng Shengfa, and smiled and said, "General Feng, please pack it."
Feng Shengfa took the account book and glanced at it and put it in his arms, without any intention of making it public.
He Yingqin's face immediately became gloomy. The officials of the Ministry of Finance and Logistics also changed their faces. The amount of donations was not a secret, so they could easily know it. But Feng Shengfa's behavior was to donate the money alone. This kid was too unreasonable. He really dared to extend his hand. Is this money so easy to get?
But they soon knew that this was nothing, and there were even more ruthless ones behind them.
Feng Shengfa said to Tang Ying: "Miss Tang, can you trouble you?"
Tang Ying shrugged and smiled, "General Feng has any instructions, just say it."
Feng Shengfa said: "I want to entrust Ms. Tang to exchange all the donations into US dollars and temporarily deposit them into Citibank."
As soon as these words came out, the presidents, managers and directors of the major banks present even wanted to kill Feng Shengfa, and even Song Ziwen in the VIP room changed his face.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the National Government began to print fiat currency crazily due to shortage of funds. In just less than half a year, the money supply increased by dozens of times, which directly led to the sharp depreciation of fiat currency. The price comparison between fiat currency exchanges for pounds, US dollars and silver dollars on the black market had actually collapsed, and small vendors began to refuse to accept fiat currency.
If Feng Shengfa took the donation directly, it would actually be equivalent to taking away a pile of waste paper, because Feng Shengfa could not use this money to buy any supplies from small vendors. If Feng Shengfa wanted to buy supplies from foreign merchants, he had to go through the middle comprador and had to deposit the money into the bank first. At that time, how to use this money was not decided by the top?
But if Feng Shengfa directly exchanged the donation into US dollars and deposited it into Citibank, the situation would be completely different.
US dollars are hard currency. Although they cannot be directly circulated in China, they can be exchanged for two other hard currency that can be circulated in China at various branches of foreign banks - gold or silver dollars. In other words, Feng Shengfa's redeem and deposit immediately turned a pile of waste paper into a huge amount that can be used.
This hits the pain of all state-owned banks, especially Song Ziwen.
Because Citibank is not a philanthropist, the central bank has to mortgage the corresponding foreign exchange reserves or gold reserves, and also according to the official exchange rate of one US dollar against four yuan, rather than the black market exchange rate that has long collapsed.
Therefore, if Feng Shengfa exchanged the donation into US dollars and deposited it into Citibank, it would be equivalent to paying money directly from the central bank or directly from Song Ziwen's pocket. How could he not feel sorry for it?
However, it is not easy to exchange this donation for US dollars, at least Feng Shengfa himself could not do it.
Otherwise, anyone who holds a piece of fiat currency can go to a foreign bank to exchange US dollars. With the pitiful foreign exchange reserves and gold reserves of the National Government, it would have been a run of one or two yuan. However, with Tang Ying's huge influence, it is obviously no problem to accomplish this small thing. Song Ziwen can only hope that Tang Ying will not agree to Feng Shengfa's request.
However, what disappointed Song Ziwen was that Tang Ying agreed frankly and asked Feng Shengfa to come to Hankou to get the promissory note two days later, and then he was invited into the private room No. 9.
The melodious music started and the dance finally began.
Xu Shijiu stood up and greeted Feng Shengfa, and said with a smile: "Master, you have offended a lot of people this time."
Feng Shengfa Leng Jun's eyes swept across the faces of the Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin and Yiyu. He found that most of the military and political officials looked bad. He immediately curled his lips and said disdainfully: "As long as the brothers of the 58th Division have food and clothing, the wounded will not lie there and wait for death because of the lack of medicine, what's the harm that no matter how many people you offend?"
Zhang Shaojie sighed: "The master has offended so many senior officials, and it will be difficult to be promoted in the future."
Feng Shengfa drank the red wine in his goblet glass and said, "So what if I don't get promoted?"
Xu Shijiu took two glasses of red wine from the tray held by the waiter. When he was about to hand one of them to Feng Shengfa, a colorful and charming socialite had already walked up to him and said with a smile: "Little woman Chen Manli, don't you know if she is honored to dance with Colonel Xu?"
Xu Shijiu did not keep people from thousands of miles away and said gracefully: "Ms. Chen, please."
Looking at Xu Shijiu's slender waist holding the bright and beautiful socialite, she screwed into the dance floor, Feng Shengfa shook his head enviously, and Zhang Shaojie also muttered softly, "The little girl is just to please her sister."
On the dance floor, Xu Shijiu was dancing with Chen Manli.
Chen Manli looked at Xu Shijiu at close range and found that there was a scar on Xu Shijiu's eyebrows and her skin was a little rough. However, this did not damage Xu Shijiu's masculine charm at all. Chen Manli even felt aroused by it. She had been in the social scene for several years, but there had never been a man who could make her heart beat faster like Xu Shijiu.
Chen Manli stared at Xu Shijiu's bright and intimidating eyes and said with a smile: "Col. Xu, do you know that Sister Tang Ying offended a lot of people for you?"
"You are very familiar with Tang Ying?" Xu Shijiu looked at Chen Manli's beautiful eyes and asked in a low voice.
"We are good sisters, the kind that can say everything." Chen Manli's beautiful eyes showed a hint of a hint of smile, as if she was saying that Sister Tang Ying had told me everything, including you.
Xu Shijiu smiled unanimously. It could be seen that the socialite in front of him was very interested in him, but he was not interested in this socialite, and even had no interest in acting. Since Yu Jiaxi fell into the river, his emotional door seemed to have been completely closed.
Chen Manli felt the indifference that Xu Shijiu emanated from her bones, which made her feel a little embarrassed and angry. In terms of appearance, Chen Manli actually surpassed Tang Ying. If it weren't for her debut too late, maybe it wouldn't be the Southern Tang Beilu, but the Southern Chen Beilu. Chen Manli has this confidence.
Chen Manli really wanted to get evidence from Xu Shijiu, but the result was a bit cruel.
After the dance, Xu Shijiu let go of Chen Manli's slender waist without any nostalgia and said, "Miss Chen, please give me a few words to Tang Ying, and I would like to thank him very much for his sacrifices for more than 9,000 brothers in the 58th Division. I, and all the brothers in the 58th Division, will remember him forever."
"Wait a minute..." When Chen Manli reacted, Xu Shijiu had already left.
Looking at Xu Shijiu's back, he lost his mind for a long time before Chen Manli came to her senses, then stomped her feet hard, and said in her heart: Okay, you offended me, this matter is not over.
Chen Manli's angry look happened to fall into Tang Ying's eyes.
After a few words of chatting with Song Ziwen, Tang Ying left the No. 9 box on the excuse. Things have changed. Now Tang Ying no longer has the same feeling as before. Although Song Ziwen is still reluctant to leave Tang Ying, Tang Ying is concerned about Xu Shijiu, so how can she feel perfunctory to Song Ziwen?
But when Tang Ying came out of the private room, she was still half a step late.
Tang Ying felt lost, but Chen Manli came up and said angrily: "Sister Tang Ying, this guy is so annoying."
Zhou Shuping also said: "This guy's heart is really iron-cast. He really has the heart to not say goodbye to Sister Tang Ying?"
Chen Manli said angrily: "This guy is just pretending to behave and hype, just touting his own uniqueness, hum."
"Presently act and make a promise?" Tang Ying shook her head with a wry smile, and said sadly, "No, he is not such a person."
"He is such a person, I don't believe that there are cats in this world who don't steal fish." Chen Manli was really annoyed by Xu Shijiu and said, "Sister Tang Ying, if you don't mind, I have to tease this guy."
Tang Ying said: "If you are not afraid of hitting walls and embarrassment, even if you tease him, I won't mind it, but I have to remind you not to trap yourself. This man is a stern heart and will not be merciful. Moreover, he doesn't like women of our type."
Zhou Shuping said: "Then what kind of woman does he like?"
"He, he likes a lady with no scent of dust." A bright and graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of Tang Ying's eyes. The type of woman Xu Shijiu liked was such a woman.
As soon as Yu Jiaxi came out of the operating room, Liu Chang quickly came up to meet him.
"Jiaxi, our Deputy Commander Xiang is here to visit you." Liu Chang said enthusiastically.
Yu Jiaxi frowned slightly. Liu Chang's intimate name made her feel extremely uncomfortable. However, she was not an inhumane girl, so she did not have an attack. However, the Deputy Commander Xiang who followed Liu Chang was quite sincere. He did not shake hands with Yu Jiaxi rashly and expressed his gratitude again and again.
Yu Jiaxi did help the New Fourth Army a lot.
There were more than 8,000 Red Army guerrillas who came to southern Anhui for reorganization. These guerrillas fought with Japan on the way to southern Anhui. Many of them were injured. The New Fourth Army had just started, and the airs of the field hospital had not been set up yet, and there was no high-level military doctor.
Yu Jiaxi followed He Keqi and the others to southern Anhui. Seeing so many wounded people in urgent need of treatment, she certainly would not watch. In addition, He Keqi and the others brought the medicines and medical devices that Gao Shenxing robbed from Zhenjiang, Yu Jiaxi could not sit idly by. She soon became involved in the intense work of saving lives and healing the wounded.
In order to perform surgery on the wounded members of the New Fourth Army, Yu Jiaxi even repeatedly postponed her return.
