Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Huifeng Foreign Company, Charlie was wrapped in a thick blanket, shivering all over!

The huge crowds of people withdrawing money made him feel desperate.

They had used all the connections they could find in the entire Magic City and borrowed all the money they could. If there was no miracle, Huifeng would have to follow in the footsteps of Jardine Matheson and close down.

Suddenly, the assistant opened the office door, walked in, and said anxiously,

"Mr. Charlie, the Chinachem Hotel called and said that the river defenses had been lost, which made Hu Zhenhua feel desperate. He is burning banknotes outside the Chinachem Hotel!"

Upon hearing this, Charlie threw away his blanket, and his cold healed without any medicine. He ran to the window and looked towards the direction of the Cathay Hotel. Sure enough, there was flames shooting up into the sky, and thick smoke billowing into the sky!

Charlie's mind became active and he asked,

"Did they tell me over the phone how much was burned?"

The assistant said excitedly,

"At least 2 to 3 million! The hotel staff said that a total of 142 cash boxes were burned. Based on my experience, each box can hold 200 million banknotes!"

Charlie was surprised and shouted,

"Does their company have so much money?"

2 to 3 million banknotes would cost 2 to 3 million silver dollars!

The assistant adjusted his glasses and smiled.

"Maybe. Hu Zhenhua is quite good at making money!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Charlie's mouth. With so many banknotes destroyed, the pressure on major foreign banks could be greatly reduced!

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked,

"Does TA still have any banknotes?"

"Yes, they still have thirty or forty boxes!"

"Why didn't these boxes burn?"

"Because the porters are exhausted, we're burning a batch first!"

Charlie's mood improved and he shouted,

"Keep an eye on this matter. I'll contact the consulate right away. They have to support us no matter what!"

"Yes! Mr. Charlie, there's more good news! Guo Dachong from his company suddenly announced that his cruise company has started accepting banknotes!"

"Great, I'll call the consulate right now!"

……

Paper is flammable, and with the addition of gasoline, the fire burned very violently from the beginning. The air above the flames was heated violently and rose rapidly, while the surrounding cold air quickly replenished it. The strong air convection movement formed a flame vortex.

This tornado-like vortex structure is called a "fire tornado" or "fire tornado".

Countless burning banknotes were swept high into the sky. When the kinetic energy was exhausted, the completely burned ashes and incompletely burned paper began to fall down.

Ashes rained down within a kilometer of the Cathay Hotel!

Morris casually picked up a piece of banknote fragment, which had been burned and deformed, and the words "Aude" could be vaguely seen on it.

This is a banknote issued by the Austro-German Bank, with a face value of 100 silver dollars!

Then, Morris picked up a few more, looked at them casually, and threw them away!

The fire burned for over an hour! When the last flame died out, Hu Zhenhua's 90% discount purchase had exhausted all his cash!

Seeing that the porters had almost finished their rest, Guo Dachong shouted,

"Keep moving!"

Just at this moment, a hurried horn sounded in the distance, and a convoy of more than a dozen cars slowly drove over!

They stopped in front of Hu Zhenhua.

More than twenty ladies came down. They were obviously disgusted when they saw the dark ground and the ashes floating in the air!

After the wind blew away the black ash in the air, they carefully got out of the car, walked straight over, and surrounded the young couple!

"Wang Cuicui, you boasted so much last night about how much money you could make, what are you saying now?"

Hu Zhenhua wanted to pull Wang Cuicui behind him, but there were people all around and there was nowhere to hide!

Although Wang Cuicui was a little scared, she still stood up bravely and said softly,

"Sisters, please give us more time!"

Suddenly, a lady slapped someone without any warning!

Snapped!

The crisp sound of slapping reached Hu Zhenhua's ears, and then a sharp voice rang out.

"I'll beat you to death, you little bitch! You still dare to talk nonsense! I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Wang Cuicui covered her face with her hands, and a trace of red appeared at the corner of her mouth!

The remaining tigresses all pounced on the young couple and started scratching, scratching and kicking them!

Hu Zhenhua held Wang Cuicui tightly in his arms to prevent her from getting hurt!

Suddenly, a crisp gunshot stunned everyone!

Qu Xiaodou led his men to rush forward and separate the two sides.

Everyone looked and saw scratches on Hu Zhenhua's face, neck, and arms. In fact, he had even more hidden injuries.

These ladies are the best at playing dirty tricks!

Deputy Mayor Wang's wife He Yao quickly recovered and shouted,

"What's the matter, playing Sanqingzi! You're too young!"

She waved her hand and several bodyguards rushed over and confronted Qu Xiaodou with guns!

Hu Zhenhua looked at the slap mark on Wang Cuicui's face, and he was furious and shouted,

"You want a refund, right? Within three days, not a penny less!"

"No, we have to retreat now!"

Hu Zhenhua bit his lip and laughed in anger.

"Okay, I'll use the property as a deduction, okay?"

He Yao covered her mouth and giggled. After she had laughed enough, she said sarcastically,

"You're taking advantage of us! No, you have to return the real money!"

Hu Zhenhua's face flushed red as he shouted,

"Okay, but you have to give an explanation for slapping my wife!"

The lady who took action was dismissive.

"It's her honor to beat her!"

Hu Zhenhua suddenly laughed and shouted,

"Xiaodou, call the airport and have them ship the money over so we can do the deal right there!"

"Yes!"

Hu Zhenhua showed murderous intent on his face and threatened,

"I will take back this slap myself, just wait!"

More than twenty ladies laughed so hard that they fell backwards with laughter, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Their husbands and fathers included city officials, garrison generals, and even foreign envoys.

This is a huge power!

What Hu Zhenhua didn't know was that if the Bureau Chief hadn't put pressure on him, even An Lan would have joined in the fun!

Guo Dachong was no longer in the mood to burn banknotes, so he had the boxes moved in and came to mediate.

Soon, these ladies signed the refund agreement!

The truck arrived quickly, and in just half an hour, two boxes of yellow croaker were delivered.

When He Yao saw the box full of gold bars, her eyes lit up. She walked up to Wang Cuicui and said with a smile,

"Sister, I was anxious just now. I want to apologize to you!"

Wang Cuicui responded indifferently,

"Sister, you're too serious. Go and get a refund now. If you're too late, the gold bars might have been distributed!"

He Yao chuckled.

"As the saying goes, even a broken boat still has three pounds of nails. His company is rich and powerful, so he can still give me these little melons and dates!"

She looked at the gold again and asked,

"Sister, where did this batch of gold come from?"

Hu Zhenhua sneered and decided to give him some eye drops, so he shouted in public,

"Fellow citizens, do you know where this gold came from? I'll tell you the answer right now! Tickets on Future Airlines' route from Jinling to Shanghai have skyrocketed! Future Airlines has ample capacity and makes a ton of money. I solemnly declare that all profits will be donated to major foreign banks to ensure that citizens can redeem their banknotes for real gold!"

Hu Zhenhua paused and continued,

"Please don't blame these wives of officials. They're just afraid their investments will go to waste! It's understandable. After all, some people are powerful and can only make money, not lose it!"

"Don't blame them!"

He Yao's face turned dark and she turned and left!

Hu Zhenhua didn't want to let her go, and shouted,

"Take care. Say hello to Vice Mayor Wang for me. Remember to come and collect your investment!"

The other wives of officials came to their senses, quickly covered their faces, and left in a hurry.

This happens in public. If he takes away a large amount of gold, his family will be labeled as corrupt officials.

Reporters pressed the shutter button to record this scene.

Atlan suddenly grabbed Hu Zhenhua's hand and said excitedly,

"Chairman, are there a large number of dignitaries pouring into the Magic City?"

Hu Zhenhua answered subconsciously,

"That's right, all the officials and gentry in Jiangnan are flocking here!"

Old Hu suddenly came to his senses and shouted,

"Hurry! 10% off, 10% off! Anyone want to sell banknotes? We have plenty of funds!"

The teacher who asked Hu Zhenhua a question suddenly shouted,

"Citizens, don't be fooled. I suggest you wait. A huge amount of wealth is pouring into the Magic City, and they will inevitably deposit it in foreign banks! Banknotes will stabilize soon. Do you remember that article? War is precisely an opportunity for the Magic City!"

Seeing the citizens hesitate, Hu Zhenhua shouted at Atlan,

"Hurry, take the gold and banknotes and go buy the real estate at the bottom!"

"Yes!"

Suddenly, a security guard ran over with a radio in his hand, shouting as he ran,

"Chairman, big news, big news!"

From the radio, the sweet voice of the announcer came,

"In view of the significant impact of banknotes on the Magic City market, the US Consulate has decided to provide emergency credit to the banking industry, totaling $5 million. This credit will be provided by Huaqi Bank. Banks in need of funds can approach Huaqi Bank for loans!"

Before the broadcast was over, Hu Zhenhua burst into laughter. He acted like a madman, picked up Wang Cuicui, and shouted,

"Cui Cui, good deeds will be rewarded. We have survived the crisis, we have survived!"

Guo Dachong burst into tears. He walked to the ashes, picked up the black ashes, and scattered them everywhere, mumbling incoherently.

"My money is all my money!"

Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down!

Hu Zhenhua and the security guards were shocked and shouted,

"Brother Guo, Brother Guo! Hurry up and take him to the hospital! Take him to the hospital!"

The entire outside of the Chinachem Building was in chaos. Some were crying, some were laughing, and it was a world of life and death!
