The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Back to the front yard.

Most of the Jingwu Sect disciples who performed martial arts in the morning have dispersed, leaving only some direct disciples within the sect. This group of people is relatively small and is truly closely related to the Jingwu Sect. There are only about seventeen or eighteen disciples.

"Master Huo, Mr. Bai..."

"Mr. Bai..."

When Bai Gui and Huo Yuanjia passed by, each of the disciples finished their martial arts training and bowed their hands.

There are differences between superiors and inferiors. Huo Ting'en can call Bai Gui Big Brother Bai, but these Jingwu Sect disciples who have little to do with him are not familiar with each other. It is not appropriate to call him Big Brother Bai. It is better to call him Mr. Bai.

"Come and sit."

Huo Yuanjia led Bai Gui to the table.

At this time, just like yesterday, Uncle Gen also prepared the meal.

The dishes are a little different from yesterday. Yesterday was to receive guests, so it had to be sumptuous. But even if the dishes are a bit poor, they are still extremely rich, and chicken, duck and fish are indispensable.

When practicing martial arts, you cannot eat vegetarian food.

My body can't bear it.

Shaolin monks also eat meat one by one.

Bai Gui took the towel handed over by Yamada Mitsuko and wiped the sweat on his upper body. The towel had been soaked in warm water, which is best for relaxing muscles and bones. Martial arts training is not only training, but also maintenance.

Putting on his dry robe, he took a seat next to Mitsuko Yamada.

"Ting En, you and I will go to a foreign trade company together later. All I carry with me are Japanese yen, which is inconvenient these days."

Bai Gui said after eating some food.

The money he paid for Du Fei's camera last night was Huo Ting'en's expense. Although he had banknotes with him, most of them were in Japanese yen. When signing a contract with the Commercial Press, because the amount of money was relatively large, a check was given directly and the money was deposited in a foreign bank.

He had to go and get it.

Huo Ting'en hesitated and looked up at Huo Yuanjia and Nong Jinsun. Jingwu Sect is not short of money, at least there is no shortage of money to entertain Bai Gui. It is not good to ask the guests to exchange money. It is not good to agree too easily.

"The Jingwu Sect still has some money left. Meihe, if you need it, take it."

Nong Jinsun and Huo Yuanjia looked at each other and said.

He is the accountant of Jingwu Sect, and his family is also rich.

"The expenses I need are relatively large. I estimate that I will need a lot of money. I will need to buy some gifts to send to the elders later. Besides, it is always troublesome for the Jingwu Sect. I deserve it..."

Bai Gui smiled and said.

Nong Jinsun's words were not only polite words, but also had the purpose of showing kindness to him. Eaters are soft-mouthed, but takers are short-handed. After taking the money, you have to help others eliminate disasters. Although it hasn't reached this point yet..., it's always inconvenient to get Jingwu Sect's money...

"Okay, Ting En, you can go with Meihe later."

Huo Yuanjia's heart moved. Bai Gui asked Huo Ting'en to follow him when he met his elders this time. This was not just to support Huo Ting'en. His efforts were finally in vain.

The two of them did not discuss any exchange of interests in private...

But my character is honest, and if you help me, I won’t let you suffer any more.

"I'm also going to the bank to withdraw some money."

Yamada Mitsuko thought for a while and said.

She left in a hurry and didn't take much cash with her.

As a result, when they took the ship, the two of them were in the same cabin, even though she agreed half-heartedly...

But exchange some money to be prepared.

After dinner.

Huo Ting'en called another carriage.

Although the carriage that Director Zhang lent to Bai Gui temporarily could accommodate three or four people, Huo Ting'en was not a young boy and knew how to avoid suspicion.

Soon after, Li Ru became famous.

Liru Bank is the first bank opened by Yingjili in Shanghai.

Also called Oriental Bank.

Because it is a large bank with a reliable reputation, the remittance from the Commercial Press to Bai Gui fell to Liru Bank.

"Withdraw two thousand silver dollars, two hundred silver dollars in cash, and exchange the rest for a fixed amount check of one hundred silver dollars..."

Bai Gui said to the manager of the foreign bank at the window.

"Two thousand silver dollars..."

"Please wait a moment."

The central bank manager was slightly surprised.

He saw many people who could withdraw two thousand silver dollars at will, but most of them were business transactions, and private withdrawals were relatively rare. However, Liru's bank has strong funds, and two thousand silver dollars is not a lot of money.

Shao Qing placed two hundred silver dollars wrapped in oil paper and a stack of fixed-amount checks in front of Bai Gui.

Bai Gui took a look at the fixed-amount check. There were several stamps on it and there were many anti-counterfeiting measures.

Nowadays, banks and banknotes in various parts of the Qing Dynasty are weak. Banknotes from banks and banknotes in the mainland are still easy to use. But in Shanghai, the real tough guy is the bearer fixed-amount checks issued by various foreign banks. As long as the check is authentic, there is no need to register it. , you can exchange it for cash at a foreign bank.

"Thank you."

Bai Gui stepped out.

Mitsuko Yamada was waiting in the living room of the foreign bank.

"When you left home, did you bring enough money? If not, just tell me directly, you're welcome..."

Bai Gui glanced at Yamada Mitsuko and said.

Mitsuko Yamada's family is definitely not short of money. He is from a Chinese family and has accumulated more wealth than him, but Mitsuko Yamada does not have the ability to control so much money. Daily expenses are okay, but no matter how much it is, it will be a bit tight.

…

evening.

Bai Gui came back with Huo Ting'en and Yamada Mitsuko.

In fact, he doesn't have many connections in Shanghai. Apart from Liu Xueyu, the elder of the Guan School, and the Commercial Press, there is nothing else...

But Bai Gui couldn't resist Bai Gui's great reputation in Liurisheng.

At this time, the families who could study abroad were relatively prominent. At the farewell dinner after leaving Dongda University, some classmates knew that Bai Gui was going back to Shanghai, so they immediately wrote a letter, saying verbally that it was a letter from home asking my brother to help me bring Yunyun back, but in fact, the implication was that What I am saying is that if there is any trouble, you can come to your door...

Seven or eight letters.

There aren’t many people I believe in, but they are all well-known celebrities. Although most of them can’t be said to be stomping their feet or shocking, but if you know more people, you will have more connections...

Bai Gui made this trip to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and got to know him well.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Paying a visit is originally a kind of social etiquette!

In ancient times, when there were so many big-shot figures, the first thing they did when they arrived at a place was to assassinate the local powerful families. Even if they don't know each other, they still work hard to write poems and articles to win these powerful people to look up to them and invite them to the mansion for banquets...

Nothing to be ashamed of.

It’s ridiculous if you can’t wipe your face!

Secondly, he and the sons of these people are all classmates and friends, which is equivalent to a visit from a younger generation, not to mention that he is well-known and is a guest in every house he goes to, and is treated with courtesy.

"Dad, Brother Bai and I went to visit the Xu family today. The Xu family is a family of officials. I saw that Mr. Xu has a relationship with the British Ambassador..."

"And the Zhou family..."

Huo Ting'en's face was red and he was talking eloquently.

Today he followed Bai Gui to visit the homes of these celebrities in Shanghai. Every family treated them with great courtesy. In that scene, flattery was poured out freely, and it was not all talk but no action. Every family gave gifts in return, which were much better than what they gave. , several times more expensive.

Gaining face is really a big gain in face!
