Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked: "What's going on, tell me quickly."

Xie Ning said: "We prepared banknotes worth 100 million and wanted to exchange them for the common people, but who knew that after several days, no one came to exchange those banknotes."

Lin Yuan then asked: "The people didn't come to exchange, so what about the business?"

Xie Ning said: "Not to mention the merchants, not only did they not come to exchange, but also our Zhang Industrial Company wanted to use RMB to settle the goods with them, but they refused."

Lin Yuan asked: "Have you investigated the reason?"

Xie Ning said helplessly: "We really don't have enough manpower, so we haven't had time to investigate yet."

Lin Yuan said: "Well, I will personally take someone to investigate the reason." Lin Yuan came out of the bank and said to Shen Wanqing: "Let's change up and investigate the reason why people don't want to use RMB."

Shen Wanqing agreed, and the two dressed up as businessmen and couples and came to the street. Lin Yuan pointed to a teahouse and said with a smile, "Come on, let's go there and have a look."

After entering the teahouse, I saw the big four words on the wall: Don't talk about state affairs, Shen Wanqing asked Lin Yuan in a low voice: "Isn't it posted here that says Don't talk about state affairs? Will anyone still say these things?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course there will be, people are like this, the more you don't let him do something, he will definitely do something, so even though there is a sign of 'Don't talk about state affairs', people still talk about state affairs Talked the most."

Shen Wanqing nodded, pointed to the room and said, "There are so many vacant seats here, let's find a table." Then she walked to a table by the window, and just about to sit down, Lin Yuan stretched out her hand to hold her With a pull, he said, "Let's go out first and come back later."

Shen Wanqing asked curiously, "Why?"

Lin Yuan pointed to the few people around and said: "If we want to investigate now, we have to sit next to those people, so that they will not dare to say these things, they are all worried that we are the court My spy, if you say the wrong thing, you will lose your head, and it happens to be lunch time, so there are few people, we will come back later."

Shen Wanqing agreed with an "oh" and followed Lin Yuan out of the teahouse. Lin Yuan said, "Let's walk around the street first to see how the business is going." Shanghai is the most prosperous city in China's commodity trade in this era. The degree even exceeds the developing Northeast.

The two were walking when they heard a female voice beside them say: "Sir, madam, let's buy some flowers."

Lin Yuan turned his head and saw that there was a grocery stall run by an elderly woman next to it. There were needles, thread, brains and other items on the grocery stall. The most surprising thing was: there were several large baskets beside the stall, and the baskets were full It's full of flowers!

Shen Wanqing knelt down, looked at those flowers, and said in surprise: "Look, these flowers are actually roses! It's actually popular to send roses now!"

Lin Yuan also found it unbelievable, thinking: "Sending roses was very common in my time, but how could it happen in this era? It seems that Western culture has influenced China much faster than I imagined." " Lin Yuan then asked: "Auntie, how do you sell these flowers?"

The old woman said with a smile, "One copper coin per flower!"

Lin Yuan said in surprise: "This is too cheap! Now is not the time for this kind of flower to bloom! It must cost a lot of money to preserve this flower so well. You only sell one copper coin, and you can earn a lot of money. money?"

The old woman smiled from ear to ear, and said: "To tell you the truth, I bought these things from a foreigner, and the total cost was only five copper coins! The foreigner brought several boats of flowers, but there was no one at all. Buy it, he will have to throw it away when he sees it, so he sells it at a low price!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Oh, this must be another good thing done by some whimsical foreign devil businessman. He doesn't even think about whether the Chinese have the habit of sending roses. How can they sell so many flowers?"

Shen Wanqing said in surprise from the side: "There really are such stupid foreign devils!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course I did. Don't you remember the foreign devil I met when I first started making black sorkin? He even thought of transporting animals to China for exhibitions to make money. Alas, it's unreliable." There are so many foreign devils!"

At this time, the old woman smiled and said, "Can I buy some? That foreigner said that in his country, men buy it for women."

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Buy it! Why don't you buy it? Give me seventeen flowers."

The old woman happily counted the flowers, while Shen Wanqing smiled and asked, "Who do you want to give the roses to?"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "It's not for you anyway." Shen Wanqing suddenly thought: "There are many girls who like him, and they are all beautiful. I don't know who he will give it to?" Lin Yuan laughed and said, "I'm going to give them to a man named Shen Wanqing!"

Shen Wanqing gave a "puchi" smile, blushed, and asked shyly, "Then why did you buy seventeen?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you know how many days we have known each other?"

Shen Wanqing shook her head repeatedly and said, "I don't remember clearly."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The first time we met was at the farewell party for the Beijing warship. At that time, you sang a song and the red berries bloomed. It has been a total of 1358 days until today. The sum of these four numbers is Seventeen."

Hearing these words, Shen Wanqing thought in her heart: "He actually remembers such a small thing!" Her tears flowed out in a flash, while Lin Yuan was reaching out to take the old woman's flowers, but he didn't see it. She wept, and Lin Yuan said, "There are seventeen copper coins in total. I will take care of your business, and I will give you twenty copper coins. What do you think?"

The old woman nodded with a smile on her face, Lin Yuan took out two one-yuan renminbi from his pocket, and handed them to the old woman with a smile, the old woman immediately apologized when she saw it, and said, "Sir, what did you give me? "

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "RMB, the money issued by Lin Shuai's Northeast People's Bank, what? Can't it be used?"

The old woman waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, sir, I dare not use it."

Lin Yuan asked: "Don't you dare to use it? Is there anything you dare not use?"

The old woman said: "This is a small business, and I can get half full in a day. If you give me this kind of money, I will use it to buy rice noodles. If they don't accept it, my business is not for nothing? I I have to see when everyone uses this money before I dare to use it."

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "It seems that this is the attitude of small businessmen. They are afraid that this kind of money is worthless. As long as there are more people who use it, they will naturally dare to use it. I will go to the teahouse to see the ordinary money later. What is the attitude of ordinary people towards this kind of money, and the right medicine can solve the problem.”

Lin Yuan turned back and handed the flowers to Shen Wanqing, but suddenly saw her eyes were red, and asked involuntarily, "Why are you crying?"

Shen Wanqing choked up and said, "I didn't cry, sand got into my eyes..."

Lin Yuan chuckled, and said, "Come on, that's a bad reason. As long as you don't want others to know that you're crying, you must say 'sand got in your eyes'." Lin Yuan suddenly changed his subject. Turning around, he sneered: "Is it possible that you were moved by me? You are still an agent, why have you never seen anything in the world, and you were moved to tears by a few roses!"
