Chapter 22 So say the gold diggers, smugglers, bankers

Legend has such a story.One province sold 130,000 taels of gold to the country in 1982, and the number of gold miners at that time was 3,500; by 1988, the number of gold miners had reached 6,700, but the number of gold handed over was only 20,000 taels!Such an upside-down pyramid shocked the entire provincial government building without mountain marks.The vice-governor in charge of gold production brought the manager of the gold company to his office, scolded him severely, and finally asked where all the gold went. Hands down! The treasurer of gold is the gold mining king. In some areas, the gold mining kings don't want others to put some nicknames of reckless heroes on their heads. They like to be called gold treasurers. To get the amount of gold handed over to the state in the whole province, we must first find these gold shopkeepers!The vice-governor swiped his pen, then picked up the phone: Please pick up County Magistrate Li!Hey, Lao Li, I will go to your place tomorrow, please get a table with the best dishes in the best hotel!

When County Magistrate Li heard what his immediate boss said, how could he dare to be negligent!The next day, in a small restaurant in one of the most luxurious hotels in the county, a table of extremely sumptuous food and drink had already been prepared, waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests. After a while, the vice-governor took eight guests who had been personally invited to the table with a smile on his face.The deputy governor treated several guests with the same enthusiasm and thoughtfulness as serving the head of the central government.What is surprising is that these 8 guests are all rustic and have no demeanor on the stage.It turned out that they were all gold shopkeepers invited from the mountains by the vice governor.People can't judge by appearance.Although none of them have ever been a brigade cadre at the 24th level, all of them are millionaires who are paid 10 times more than the deputy governor.Except for the eyebrows and nose, look at the gold items on their bodies: glasses, teeth, fingers, buttons... there is nothing that is worth thousands of gold lumps.

I am honored to invite you all here today. It is really not easy!The vice-governor raised his tall glass and stood up and said: Zhuwei has worked hard in the past few years. Under the guidance of the party's reform and opening up, you have the courage to pioneer and lead the masses to overcome difficulties such as poor conditions, lack of technology, and lack of materials, and carry forward the hard work. The spirit of struggle has made immortal feats and made great contributions to the prosperity of the masses and the development of the gold industry in our province!On behalf of the provincial government and all the people who have received your care and help and become rich, thank you very much!This glass of wine is to celebrate everyone's achievements.Come on, do it!

Jingle!The glass was rattling.The gold shopkeepers, who were usually full of wine and meat, became restrained at this time.yes!Can you not be excited?The mountain people whose ancestors have only dealt with dirt, sheep whips, and cow butts for generations, have never seen such a big official clink glasses with him? Big prawns, red sea cucumbers, sea crabs... a turntable as big as a small patio is too small to make. Governor, tell me, is there anything we need to do!You just open your mouth!That's right, you sold your ancestors. We didn't say a word from your governor! But for such affectionate attacks in turn, the gold shopkeepers can no longer sit still.He flicked his dark, thick arms outward, as if he was asking the deputy governor for his orders.

Well, have fun!The deputy governor saw that the heat was already on the way, so he said without hesitation: Everyone is invited to come today, and I would like to ask you for a favor!You also know that gold is indispensable for the country to carry out the four modernizations, especially foreign trade.Our province is a key gold producing area, so we should pay more gold to the country.I have no other hope, but I hope that you can mobilize the people around you to sell the gold in your hands to the country. Of course, I first hope to see you take a good lead! As Wen Wen said, the governor thinks highly of us, if we don’t sell gold to the country, we will be regarded as snails, worthless!

That's right, if you don't lose anything else, just because of your face, the governor, we have to pay more! The shopkeeper Jin was so impassioned that he almost broke his ribs.The banquet was over, and the eight gold shopkeepers really did not break their promises and came to the bank with gold.The governor's secretary hurriedly sorted out the situation and submitted a document to the chief: What, less than 30 grams were handed over in total!The governor was so angry that his mouth was crooked.But there is no way, the most effective tricks are used at the moment, but the gold still cannot be collected.

Could it be that the real Bodhisattva can't move those gold diggers and miners? In the depths of Yanshan Mountain, hundreds of miles away from the capital and the county seat, I saw a group of gold diggers, and I was determined to find out if they all had the smell of copper in their heads and did not have any thoughts of serving the country and socialism? Do you believe this?He asked me that.He deliberately led me into the main hall of his house, where many picture frames and awards were pasted and hung on the walls.These are enough to prove that the master is an activist who supports the Communist Party and takes the road of socialism.

I have been a model worker in the province and county 5 times.It was all because I paid public food and contracted land and the government rewarded me, but I just can't be an advanced model worker who pays gold!He said not without regret.This must be an interesting secret.Sure enough, he said: I have been panning for gold for 5 years.To tell you the truth: I am the person who scoops up the most gold in the village.Nothing unusual.Since my grandfather's generation, our family has been a well-known gold mining family with a radius of tens of miles.After the party called on me to take the road of getting rich in the countryside, I have resumed my old gold mining business since 1984. In the past few years, I have been able to find a dozen taels a year.The gold mining has come out, and I know that the treasures of this country cannot be taken by those who just want to make money.So, in the winter of the first year, I took 10 taels of gold to the rural credit union 20 miles away.Comrades from credit unions said: They do not accept gold there.Later, I took another coal car to the county seat. It was snowing heavily that day, and the door to the county bank was closed early.I have no relatives in the city, so I stayed in the corridor of the bank.It was so cold that night, and the snow was knee-high. Finally, when the bank opened the next day, I put the gold in my arms on the counter and said, "Please, comrade, go through the scale, but the waiter ignored me for a long time."I'm so surprised, it turns out that their bank doesn't accept gold either!This is strange.Later, a person who looked like a leader came to me and told me that only a few banks in the provincial capital accept gold.God, it's not half a day and one night to go to the provincial capital!I didn't bring any money with me.When I was standing at the gate of the bank and couldn't make up my mind, a young man in a leather jacket came over and patted me on the shoulder, asking: Is there a yellow one?What yellow, I do not understand your words.Hey, it's gold!I finally understand!I was also very happy to ask him: Which bank are you from?You collect gold?Later he told me that he was not a bank, and I didn't remember what kind of company he was.I won't sell it if I hear it's not from a bank.He said to me: You weird old man, the bank won’t accept your gold, and I’m willing to pay you a high price. Isn’t it stupid of you not to sell it?Hey, this kid has taught me a lesson.I said to him: I just don't sell you, I have to sell the National Bank!The boy got angry at me and said: You have no place to pay even if you run around!I have a stubborn temper, but I don't believe in this evil.That night, I rushed home, took 200 yuan, got on the carriage and took a car, and took the car to change the train.I finally arrived at Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital, and I think I have handed over the gold to the country now!Early in the morning, I was the first one to come to the big bank in the provincial capital, and the first one to rush to the counter.The comrades at the bank asked me what I was doing?I said sell gold!As soon as he heard this, he immediately called a security cadre, led me to the office of the security department, and asked me over and over again where the gold came from!What the hell, I told you whether you would accept it or not, and I left!You know what he said.He glared and said: If you want to leave, just leave!no way!If you don't explain the situation clearly, don't even think about going out God is blind, they think I'm a thief or something?Grandma, I am aboveboard, and the gold is obtained by washing with a dustpan and a dustpan with both hands. I replied that the gold was obtained by my sweat, and there is nothing to explain!If you take care of the food, I am willing to stay for one year or eight years and I have no objection. That's why they tricked me.Selling gold with good intentions actually made me angry. I didn't sing in the provincial capital for several hours.

I bought a train ticket and came back.Alas, no, it has been four or five years, and I mine gold every year, but I have no place to pay gold every year! Knowing that I was a reporter from Beijing, the old man calmly took out an iron box from the back room, opened it carefully, and my eyes were suddenly golden.Hey, that gold is really fine! Yanshan, the mountain closest to Beijing, has nowhere to hold gold. Then, how can we imagine that those gold diggers in remote mountains and jungles will consciously go thousands of miles away to sell gold to the country? Woolen cloth?Imagine, even if you spend hundreds of yuan in travel expenses, won't the experience of the old man above in Shijiazhuang no longer happen?With regard to gold purchases, our leaders have publicized its importance and necessity many times in meetings and conferences.But can our financial institutions also learn from the god of gold diggers who seek gold from thousands of miles away, step out of the counter, step out of the city, and go to mountain villages and gold fields?

China has many difficult problems like Goldbach's conjecture. In the Liaodong Peninsula area of ​​Shandong, the bankers there seem to be more savvy.During the peak season of gold mining, they organize people to climb mountains and wading, eat and sleep in the open, and come to the place where gold diggers gather to sing gongs to release them.It can be said that it is not painstakingly managed.However, the situation is still not satisfactory.According to relevant departments and reliable information, there should be more than 700 taels of gold here in the hands of gold collectors, but less than 10 taels have been put into the bank account!

Do you still say that we are not proactive and enthusiastic?No, the comrades in the bank, especially those girls with thin skin and white flesh, have endured a lot of hardships, and the tolerance of bedbugs and small bites can reduce the qualifications of the target by three points! Stinky old hat, don't you deliberately make people happy?The gold digger just smiled honestly at what the girls said.To tell the truth, seeing these juicy girls come into the mountains to suffer, I wish I could hand over all the gold I picked and my whole body: Come on!No way!They charge one or two gold, and they are so rigid that there are thousands of dollars. It's not that I won't sell it to the country, I just can't afford it!Said a young gold digger who was born as secretary of the Youth League branch. Why is that?The secretary of the Communist Youth League took out a small book, as if he was going to teach me a regimental lesson: We only started going up the mountain this year, and now it’s been half a year, and the salary doesn’t count. We only receive a mining license, industrial and commercial mining gold tax, and expropriation from work. Fees for public security management fees... etc. It cost thousands of yuan, and there are also joint venture fees, small building cyanide fees...the sum of each item is a small 5,000 yuan.When a mountain was blown up in the middle, a stone injured our leg and cost more than 1,300 yuan in medical expenses.Seven toss and eight toss is more than 7,000.Look, to tell you the truth, we only mined a total of 5 taels of gold. If we sold it to the bank, we would lose money for a year or two after working for three years. How do you think we live? Another difficult Goldbach conjecture!I've had more than one encounter with this in gold diggers. If you sell the country, no one will accept it, or you will lose money!The gold diggers have no choice but to deal with the smugglers. Smugglers: To put it bluntly: the reason why our work can achieve amazing benefits. The gold diggers not only send the existing gold to us without reservation, but also put the gold bumps in the sieve into our hands in advance. On our books, first of all we have to thank the government and the banks.Mainly because they provide us with the convenience of purchasing gold and other valuable mineral raw materials.As the saying goes, if there is water, it must flow, either east or west.If your National Bank doesn't buy it, someone has to cash it out for those who have worked so hard to get gold and ore!This is also a kind of balance, right?The world exists in a great balance, where there are those who live and those who die, and those who pay have those who earn.Some people regard us smugglers as natural enemies. In fact, we are warriors who create a certain balance in society today. The Nobel laureates should designate a human balance for us instead of letting gunmen want us! Everyone has their own immortal philosophy. When this philosophy is skillfully used, it can sometimes turn absurdity into truth, and the power of truth has a great deterrent effect.Smugglers use their philosophy to create truth in the world of gold and the market for stealing ore.The result: almost 90% of the ore and gold mined by the people were included in their black stream. The smuggler held the black suitcase with alarm, patted the dust on his suit, and said: "The boss of the bank refuses the goods delivered to the counter, but we provide door-to-door service, and the service is at home. Not to mention the sincerity, but how well we have won the hearts of the people. In terms of all the things we have done, which one is not contributing to the prosperity of the country!You do not believe?Okay, let me pick a few examples for you to babble on.Haven't you been to Dengshiqiao Yard in Yiyang, Hunan?Have you seen the rows of brand new buildings on both sides of the road?Good to see!But do you know what this place looked like 3 years ago?Ha, I can’t guess. 1 Let me tell you, when I first returned to Dengshiqiao the year before last, grandma’s, I paid 100 yuan, but I couldn’t find a Simmons sleeper in the whole town.Those days, I, a Guangzhou boy who is used to living in bungalows with air-conditioning, suffered a lot!It’s different now, there are 12 villages in the township, 4286 households, and almost 3000 of them have built a Zhixinyanghu that our urbanites are envious of.From a dilapidated hut to a new mansion, this is a blink of an eye!Do you feel evil too?Hey, are these all the blessings of the gold diggers? However, you have to know that although Dengshiqiao is a treasure land for gold mining, do you know how much gold was paid to the country by the gold mining army of more than 8,000 people in 1987 and 1988? 82 taels!Hahaha, 82 taels!You went to middle school!According to the national card, every tael is 1200 yuan, how much is 82 taels? 98,400 yuan, 100,000 is still a few thousand? How many 4-story buildings can be built with 100,000 yuan?Count it as three or four buildings!How did the remaining thousands of buildings get the money?It was us, Boss Huang, who paved the way for them to get rich. You said that we were smuggling and breaking the law, but we really helped the people in Qiongshiqiao get rid of poverty!You said I was wrong, okay, if Ruma and the others don’t sell us the gold they scooped up, can they have the money to demolish old houses and build new ones?Hey hey, should this always be true!Based on this, should you blindly deny us? Although he drank wine, his eyes were red, but he was not drunk. He replied through me, I believe that his theory and practice are obviously fallacies and errors.But I can't answer that. If there is no gold rush, Deng Shiqiao can build all new buildings in one or two years. If it can, why hasn't there been such a prosperous scene before the founding of the People's Republic of China 40 years ago?Is Deng Shiqiao's people hiding their wealth? I can't answer the above questions, I'm stuck in a kind of ambiguity!in reality. smuggler.He appeared in front of me dragging a wounded leg.He threw the walking stick aside, and his anger surprised me: Do you think we are born to make a lot of money?You think that my disciple was born with a black heart that is greedy for money!Pooh!I... I can dig my heart out for you to see!He said that he grabbed a watermelon knife and wanted to stab it in the belly. Of course, the tip of the knife turned 180 degrees later. We are black, and we also admit that we have disrupted the country's financial market.But that is the only way we can go, otherwise you will never want to live on the earth again.To be successful, you have to do everything possible, the kind of fear, with your head tied to your belt!You think it's easy to treat your wife and children as if they were with Hades!You think it is so easy to go into the mountains alone and buy goods among the miners, not to mention that the public security officers are checking you all the way, even when you get to the king of the mountain village, the golden leader, you don’t have to go through repeated bitter tricks to withdraw the gold plate and pay for it. You won't be able to get the goods, maybe you will be beaten up as a spy or spy, how little?My elder brother went to Gannan Mountain to serve as a police spy for the people on the top of the mountain, and he was tortured to death!Miserable!If you die, don't report the funeral!what?Let the government know that you are a smuggler and search your eight lifetimes to confiscate the homes of your three relatives and six aunts?Swallow your tears in your belly!Now when it comes to the serious smuggling of gold, cultural relics, and other precious metals, the first to bear the brunt is to scold us smugglers, as if the world has become bad because of us!God is stunned, we are at best second-hand dealers, that's all. Just these two dealers, you think it's easy to be!To tell you the truth, I've been in this business for 3 years, but at the time I never thought I'd be in this business.Our place is also a gold producing area.There are also tin ore and antimony ore.At the beginning, everyone panned for gold and mines, but they just didn’t know how to change money. They knew that I had a relative in Guangzhou, so they encouraged me to take a trip to Guangzhou.I took with me 20 taels of gold and 50 tons of antimony ore contracts collected by various companies.I didn't know anything when I went out for the first time. When I arrived in Guangzhou, my relative couldn't come back from a business trip, so I just touched the door by myself!It was the first time that a person who asked for goods offered too low a price, so I didn't sell the goods.The second time was from Hong Kong. We made a deal as soon as we met, and sold it at a good price. 50 tons of antimony ore were also sold. When I went home, the two travel bags I took with me were full of banknotes. The people in the village were very happy to see that I had exchanged the money for them.Don't let me run again.Run and run!Assuming that I do something for everyone, of course each family in the village will pay me according to the amount of goods they bring.But at that time I was more than that.I just think that it is not easy for everyone to go to the mountains to mine and pan for gold, and it is a good deed for the village to help everyone exchange their hard-earned money.In this way, I ran again and again.You said that the more courageous you run, the bigger you become?Come on, outsiders don't know, in fact, the later they are, the less they dare to run.Now every place is very strict about smuggling.We went all the way to hide in Tibet and Mongolia.You ask where is the gold hidden?There are all kinds of places.When I go out alone, I often hide gold in teeth, soap and other things. After a long time, these places are no longer good, so I try to make a fuss about myself, such as stuffing my arms between my teeth, ear holes, and hair , Of course, I also tried to put it in the anus, it is very simple, use a small plastic bag, fill it with gold, and then gently stuff it in.Sometimes I bring a woman to pretend to be a tourist, get married, and pass the checkpoint 9 because there are many places for women to release goods. Of course, there are female policemen under some checkpoints.So it's hard to hide, but it's smoother than our men after all.Once I took a fashionable girl pretending to be a husband and wife to Guangzhou to sell goods. We each brought 20 taels of yellow goods. When we arrived in Shaoguan, a team of public security officers suddenly blocked us.They made a noise and searched all the goods I had on me.He was also fined 3,000 yuan, which is extremely unlucky.I thought, my wife can't run away either. After a while, she came back and said to me with a smile: Don't be so downcast, she said with a smile, it's not easy to deal with you men.What, slept with them again?She glanced at me fixedly and said: I don't want to play with these husbands.Later, she told me that when the public security officers interrogated her, she burst into tears, saying that she was cheated and she didn't know anything.Pretending to be a woman from a good family.The police were skeptical, and specially called two women to search her body.Before searching, she sighed and stripped all her clothes.According to common experience, the public security personnel thought she put it in a bra or something.But my chick with mountainous breasts didn't even have a bra this time, so where did you hide your porn?Listening to my question, she giggled triumphantly.Then she unbuttoned her top to show me her ridiculously large breasts. I’ve seen it a lot, so what’s so strange, I said: She smiled and pinched it a few times, ho, it turned out to be a pair of fake breasts!She hid all the gold inside, and after showing her true face, although I hated this woman with flat breasts very much, I admired her tricks very much.After we arrived in Guangzhou, we lived in Baiyun Hotel. The people who picked up the goods that time were a few Taiwanese. We made an appointment to meet in Yuexiu Park. When we arrived there, suddenly a few people jumped out from the dark shade of the trees and pushed us to a place. The car, from then on, we lost all our freedom. When I woke up, I found that I was in an air-raid shelter one after another. I lost my gold and my female partner.I didn't have any money on me, and when I picked up a truck and went back to the mountains, everyone didn't recognize me. They asked me where I got the money in exchange for gold?I said lost.How can these people believe it!The more I argue, the more they say that I renege on my debts. I, my leg was beaten by them! Who do I hate? I hate those who mine and steal mines as much as you!I also hate those who provoke the masses to dig indiscriminately! This is unexpected!How could a man who smuggled the country's minerals for a living hate those crazy gun miners so much! I knocked on the door of the Bank of China with the golden signboard. This is a provincial-level central bank. When I saw the president, I asked directly: The country needs gold so much, why is the country unwilling to collect the gold handed over? The president lit a cigar: Your question embarrasses me very much.After a short pause, he said: I remember that in the early days of World War II, in order to collect gold with a constant storage value for the bank, a British banker mobilized all the employees of the bank to go door-to-door to plead, mobilize, and even spend a lot of money on publicity and charity performances. At that time, he was 78 years old, and until his last breath, he was still thinking about gold, gold... oh, but for me, this is the 11th time that I have refused to accept the gold delivered to my door. I really don't understand why?A simple financial theory, even a financier like you cannot accept it!I am excited. He smiled: It's not me who can't accept it, but my bank! How to say? A simple account.He habitually picked up a beautiful electronic computer.The state has given me the province's Bank of China's annual gold collection task is 240,000 taels.But in fact, the gold mining volume of agricultural mining and state-owned enterprises in the province is about 420,000 taels.Collection of money is the country's target, and the country allocates money to us according to the planned tasks.When the indicator is completed, we naturally can no longer accept it. It is equivalent to saying that the Bank of China in your province rejects 150,000 taels of gold every year.And the gold had to flow into the hands of smugglers! It is estimated that there may be more!He seemed very nonchalant about it. Hell, if in the West, the president would mercilessly dismiss such executives of the national bank, even ordinary bank employees would be dissatisfied with such bosses!But in China, this kind of people sit firmly on Mount Tai! I stand up! Oh, don't worry!It's not over yet!This time he pulled me. Maybe another account of mine will interest you more and make you think more deeply. A state agency and culprit who indirectly condones smugglers!See what he wants to say, I said in my heart. Comrade writer, according to your wishes, we will buy 130,000 taels that are in the society and the market.Okay, let's do the math: at the standard price of 1,200 yuan for one or two gold, this is equivalent to occupying 26 million yuan of working capital.Do you hear me? 26 million yuan! That is to say, if I want to ensure that all the gold produced in the province is collected, I have to squeeze out such a huge amount of liquid funds from my family.You will definitely say that for the long-term interests of the country and in line with the most basic financial theory, you are doing the right thing!Sometimes I really want to wear such a high hat, at least, the head office can give me an advanced evaluation every year.But I dare not wear it!More than 20,000 workers in my province quit!Why do you ask?It's very simple, you sealed everyone's bonuses in the treasury!If the state does not allocate funds, you will have to use your bank's own liquidity to buy gold.The bank's self-deposited working capital is where all the profits generated by the bank's own operations lie.If 26 million yuan is sold, the annual interest will be more than 20.52 million yuan.What my employees have worked hard for a year is a year-end bonus!Do you think I should accept the 180,000 taels of gold that was mined privately and publicly? Is he not right?I began to feel guilty that I should not have misunderstood this Chinese financier. What is the crux of China's robbing of mines and stealing treasures?I had to look in another direction——
