An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

This means that for a long time to come, such opportunities for huge profits will no longer exist.

If you don't find a way to get the money out and invest it.

They'll be stuck with this for decades, sitting idle for nothing.

That's why Jiang Baobin decided to take another gamble.

If we win, we'll make a fortune!

If we lose...

He didn't know how he would lose. Did Citibank hide its money?

If the bank dares to do that, once he leaves, the current manager of the China region and the American headquarters manager will be out of a job.

As for Rose's embezzlement?

Hehe, dealing with her is like an old lady blowing her nose – easy prying her out.

Goldfish pond.

Tong Wu was a Manchu, whose ancestors had once been wealthy and had risen to the rank of Admiral (the highest military commander of a province).

But ever since the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, his family has been plagued by bad luck.

By the time Tong Wu arrived, his ancestral home had been sold off, and he could only barely make a living by pedaling a tricycle.

As a result, he was hit by a car two days ago and fractured his collarbone.

They can't go out to work for at least two months.

Although the people traveling with the car wrote down the license plate number—it was a military plate.

Normally it would be fine, but right now there's a war going on, where are we going to find people?

Facing imminent annihilation, the Guo army soldiers were all ferocious and menacing, and the common people couldn't even find a place to hide.

He confronted the passengers on the bus.

Wow! They're even more arrogant, saying he didn't ride his bike properly and that he should compensate the passenger for the damages!

Bah! If I had money, would I need to come to you?

With prices skyrocketing again, without their hard-earned income, the whole family would have no choice but to hang themselves!

Tong Wu didn't sleep well that night, and he was preoccupied with two things:

What valuable things do you have at home that you can sell? And which relatives or friends can you borrow money from?

The result was that they were at a loss.

Just as I was getting really worried, my wife, who had gotten up early to empty the chamber pot, stumbled back.

"My husband, my husband!"

Normally, if my wife dared to be this reckless, I would have kicked her right in the heart.

However, Tong Wu no longer has that ability; his bones hurt.

So I had to resort to verbal threats: "What the hell are you yelling about? Looking for a beating?"

Tong Wu's wife, however, didn't care at all: "Dad, there are two bags of things at our door, they feel like grain to me..."

Tong Wu sat up abruptly, only to be in so much pain that he saw stars!

But he couldn't worry about that now, and hurriedly said, "Then why don't you bring it in quickly?"

"Eh, eh..."

Just as Tong Wu was wondering if it was true, his wife came in carrying some things.

Because her hands were occupied, she also had a cloth bag in her mouth.

After putting the things down, the woman said excitedly, "It was dark outside, I didn't see it earlier, but there's this too."

Tong Wu gritted his teeth and opened the bag, which was full of silver dollars, a total of 50 dollars.

"Thank God, our family is saved!" Tong Wu's wife said joyfully.

Tong Wu was wondering who would give him money or gifts?

He then threatened his children, who had already been awakened, "None of you are allowed to tell anyone, or I'll break your legs!"

The children answered noisily, chattering amongst themselves around the two bags of flour:

Second brother: "I've seen this kind of bag before. It's genuine imported goods, made with the finest white flour!"

Eldest son: "If this were cornmeal, it would be enough to feed our family for two months..."

The youngest child: "I want to eat white flour dumplings!"

Second brother: "Do you want to eat shit?"

"Hehehe..."

Tong Wu let out a long sigh of relief, and his mood immediately relaxed.

Although the situation was strange, at least they were able to get through this hurdle.

As the head of the family, this is more important than anything else...

Throughout history and across cultures, is there anyone who doesn't like gold?

黄金比重大，1750盎司黄金（≈49.6公斤，1盎司等于28.35克）的体积只有1294立方厘米。

That's about the size of a 1.3-liter beverage bottle.

Add 2830 ounces of silver;

In addition, there were various foreign currencies worth $2000.

This is the asset that Jiang Baobin deposited into his account this time, which is also his current total cash wealth.

That's not right! Shouldn't each ounce of gold be 31.10 grams?

Hehe, this is a bit complicated to explain.

In short: the International Bureau of Weights and Measures officially confirmed the definition of the troy ounce in 1959.

One troy ounce equals 31.1 grams.

However, the 1 ounce (28.35 grams) standard has not been abolished; ordinary goods such as candy and biscuits are still converted using this ratio.

Therefore, before 59, gold could be converted at 28.35 grams or 31.10 grams, but specific details would be required.

Jiang Baobin's gold was calculated based on 28.35 grams:

1750 ounces of gold (1 ounce equals 32 US dollars) = 56000.

2830 ounces of silver (1 ounce of silver is approximately equal to 0.75 US dollars) = 2122.

Plus 2000 in cash;

In addition, there was $6 already in the account.

His total assets are now worth $12.01!

This guy is truly a millionaire!

So the memories of time travelers are truly amazing.

In just six months, he went from being penniless to amassing so much wealth.

amazing!

a few days later.

When Rose received the payment notification from Citibank, she was greatly surprised—

Without a doubt, the money was transferred by Jiang Baobin.

But this is making way too much money!

Rose knew that Jiang Baobin had stockpiled a lot of supplies.

Didn't you use your connections to buy 1000 bags of flour back then?

I never expected that he would make so much money from just a few transactions.

Smith, who is now in a vegetative state, has spent half his life in business.

He has only managed to accumulate a meager million in assets.

This guy...tsk tsk!

Rose then borrowed money using gold as collateral, as previously agreed.

Then I bought IBM stock...

Just when Jiang Baobin thought he could finally catch his breath,

Someone who had never contacted him before came looking for him in a great hurry.

At first, Jiang Baobin thought that another good item had appeared.

Even so, he could only stare at each other helplessly, for he had no money; it was all in the bank.

What Liu Decai said was completely unexpected:

"Binzi, in the courtyard where you used to live, wasn't there a man surnamed Gao who kept a half-closed door?"

Jiang Baobin could only nod.

Although Gao Yueyuan has a high opinion of herself, that's really all she is.

"Then you'd better hurry back. The man surnamed Gao has a lover named Gu Huaiwen. Ling'er is going to make her move in the next couple of days!"

Jiang Baobin then remembered that he had gone home to pick up some things last time.

There was this guy who called himself Master Gu, and he was really arrogant. I never expected it to be him.

But this is a life-threatening situation. Should I go for it?

To be honest, he was very disappointed in Liu Ling'er.

After the last martial arts competition, he approached her, wanting to improve their weaponry skills together.

As a result, they completely ignored him and refused him decisively.

This infuriated him—you're not interested in seriously improving my martial arts skills?

So you only agreed to spar with me just to beat me up?

What is that?

So he has decided that if he ever pays any attention to her again, he will be a complete jerk!

But just a few days after making the vow, Old Liu came knocking on his door begging for help.

Jiang Baobin couldn't help but smack his lips...
