Chapter 44 Send some specialties
As for the benefits they obtained privately during the house search, Niu Qiu also took the initiative to confess to Chu Lingyun. This was a normal phenomenon. They did not dare to take more, and all of them together only divided more than 5,000 yuan.
"so much?"
Chu Lingyun was a little surprised. He knew that a lot of money was confiscated from the house by Niu Qiu, but he didn't expect that it was as much as 80,000. This was not the 80,000 in later generations. In this period, you could buy a cow for more than 100 yuan. The purchasing power of 80,000 was still considerable.
"It's mainly because there are so many of them. Even though these people are low-ranking officials, they make a lot of money."
Loach said with a smile that there were fifteen families, and on average each family only received a few thousand yuan, but this was the money to buy lives, and it couldn't even buy the life of the main culprit.
The Huang family benefited the most. All the members of the Huang family were arrested, and their land and houses were confiscated and sold by Niu Qiu. The entire Huang family made more than 20,000 yuan in cash.
Chu Lingyun looked at the box and asked after a while, "Is it clean?"
"Don't worry, Team Leader. I guarantee everything will be clean. There are also some fixed assets that are difficult to handle. I've put them out in the open and you can hand them over to the station. These are all private matters, so no one can find out."
Loach patted his chest and assured Chu Lingyun that he was very clear about Loach's abilities. He might not be able to do other things, but he could do this kind of thing to the best of his ability.
"Take another 10,000 and keep some for yourself. The rest will be divided among everyone in our squadron."
Chu Lingyun opened the box, which was filled with neatly arranged gold bars and cash. There were a hundred gold bars in total. No wonder it was so difficult for Loach to move them.
Inside were gold bars weighing ten taels each, but the ten taels of this period were not the same as the one catty of later generations. Now one catty is sixteen taels, which means that a gold bar weighs about three hundred grams.
One hundred gold bars weigh more than 30,000 grams and more than 60 kilograms. No wonder they are so heavy.
"Thank you, Team Leader."
When he heard that there was also a share for him, Loach grinned. The team leader was really generous and took out 10,000 yuan to share.
And from what the team leader said, the new team members also received money. These people are so lucky. They just joined and didn't do anything, but they got a sum of money first.
"Go back and tell everyone to keep their mouths shut and stop talking nonsense."
"I understand, Captain, don't worry, I will tell them well."
Loach happily left with 10,000 yuan in cash. After Loach took away 10,000 yuan, there were more than 30,000 yuan in cash left. At that time, the legal currency was still strong, and this money was equivalent to seventy or eighty gold bars.
Chu Lingyun is very familiar with the social conditions of this era. What Loach does is very common. It can be said that everyone is doing it. If you don't follow suit, you will be considered unsociable.
Chu Lingyun did not feel any psychological burden after receiving these gold bars. He put the box away and fell asleep soon after.
The next morning, Chu Lingyun came to Wang Yuemin's office carrying a small suitcase.
"Stationmaster, the team has recently collected some local specialties, and we specially gave them to you as a gift." Chu Lingyun put the box on Wang Yuemin's desk and said with a smile.
"Your team has some local specialties. I'd like to see what they are."
Wang Yuemin laughed heartily. He was in a good mood every time he saw Chu Lingyun, mainly because Chu Lingyun always brought him good news.
Wang Yuemin reached out to open the suitcase, took a look, and then closed the lid.
The suitcase was filled with golden gold bars, neatly arranged.
"Your local specialty is quite good, Lingyun. I've already contacted Mr. Wang, the president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. He's very willing to help us with this. Here's his address and phone number. You can visit him in person when you have time."
Wang Yuemin took out a piece of paper with an address and phone number written on it. Chu Lingyun took the paper respectfully and said happily, "With someone like President Wang coming forward to help, we will definitely be able to lead Yamada Yoichi out."
"President Wang is very supportive of our work. He agreed as soon as I told him yesterday. Ling Yun, don't let me down this time, and don't let President Wang down."
"Stationmaster, rest assured. I promise to complete the task. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go find President Wang right away."
Chu Lingyun carefully wrote down the address and phone number on the paper, then put the note into his pocket and walked out of Wang Yuemin's office.
After Chu Lingyun left, Wang Yuemin immediately locked the door, reopened the suitcase, and carefully counted the gold bars inside.
While counting, he hummed a little tune.
Fifty ten-liang gold bars felt very heavy in his hand. He liked this local specialty given by Chu Lingyun very much. This time he went to the headquarters to deliver the code book, and he did not go empty-handed.
Everyone in the headquarters needs to be taken care of, and the director receives the most gifts. The gifts sent by Chu Lingyun just make up for the shortfall.
"Thanks to my discerning eyes, I have capable and discerning subordinates. It's so rare."
Wang Yuemin happily put the suitcase into the safe in the office. Compared with Wang Jialiang, Chu Lingyun was many times better. Wang Jialiang had been with him for so long, and he only gave him some local specialties during festivals.
What he gave was a real specialty, and was far less adorable than these yellow little cuties.
Chairman Wang lives in a villa area by the river. The residents here are all the top wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in the city. A separate police station has also been set up here to prevent accidents.
"You are Chu Lingyun. You are indeed young. I heard about your story. You even captured several Japanese spies. Heroes emerge from youth."
President Wang was in his fifties and looked very energetic. After Chu Lingyun proposed to visit him, he immediately received him.
"President Wang, you are too kind. Thank you for your help this time. Ling Yun is very grateful."
Chu Lingyun clasped his fists. Most people were unwilling to get involved in such a matter of luring spies, for fear of getting themselves into trouble. It was not easy for President Wang to agree.
"What are you talking about? When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. I have five sons, three of whom are serving the country in the military. I'm happy to help you do what I can."
President Wang was a straightforward man, laughing heartily. Chu Lingyun hadn't expected that he was also a military family member, with as many as three sons in the army.
No wonder the webmaster would look for him, and no wonder he agreed so readily.
"This time, all you need is for you to ask Yamada Yoichi to leave the Japanese concession under the pretext of cooperation. You don't need to rush to ask him out right away. It's okay to ask him out a few times. But your safety is the most important thing. Don't take any risks."
Chu Lingyun slowly told his plan to President Wang. President Wang listened very carefully and nodded from time to time.
"No problem. I know how to handle business matters. I'll make sure he doesn't get suspicious."
After Chu Lingyun finished speaking, President Wang immediately came up with an idea. When it comes to how to do business, ten Chu Lingyuns are not as good as President Wang. To be able to become the president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce here, he must have his own strengths.
