Spring Breeze 1991

Yao Yuan knew why the young man in the black jacket asked such a question, and said, "Yes, we only have Huaxia currency, and we have not exchanged foreign currency."

"That's fine." The young man in the black jacket clapped his hands and said, "Some people are jealous when they hear that they have made a fortune by being a loser here, and they want to come here to make a fortune after scraping together the money. In the end, they came here in exchange for foreign exchange. Yes, this is all right, I have to go to Shenzhen Development Bank to queue up to exchange for Huaxia coins before I can do business.”

He smiled mysteriously, "Do you know why?"

Zhan Sheng shook his head, and Comrade Jiang and others also shook their heads.

The young man in the black jacket smiled, "Because Wing On Supermarket only accepts Huaxia coins and US dollars, rubles are absolutely not accepted, and those things are too disgusting to wipe your ass."

Chen Hai is more sensitive to currency, so he hurriedly asked, "Since US dollars are accepted, why do we need to convert them into Huaxia currency to do business?"

The young man in the black jacket looked at his watch and said, "It's time for dinner soon. It's fate that we met. I invite you to dinner. While eating, I said that the water here is deep."

Everyone in Yao Yuan's group is smart, and he immediately understood what the young man in the black jacket meant.

It is said that he invites everyone to dinner, the question is, you have so many people, and you need others, do you have the nerve to let him treat you?

The young man in the black jacket should not be greedy for a meal, and Yao Yuan is about to step forward at this time, although he knows why.

Yao Yuan took out his official passport and showed it to the young man in the black jacket, and said with a smile, "Comrade, we are actually a business investigation group from the capital, and this is our Director Jiang. We are here to inspect the Almaty market. What you said The situation has helped us a lot.”

The young man in the black jacket was stunned for a moment, his expression changed, and he gradually showed a flattering smile, a little embarrassed.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "We should be the ones who invited you to dinner, but today we have official business, so please leave a contact information, and we will find time to treat you to a light meal to express our gratitude."

"Okay, okay, okay." The young man in the black jacket hurriedly took out his pocket, and he didn't look like the previous down-to-earth senior. He took out a stack of business cards, bent over and handed out one by one, "This is my business card. It’s more formal to have a business card while doing business, which makes the leaders laugh.”

Before Yao Yuan could ask, the young man in the black jacket said, "Oh, that's right. All the commodities in Wing On Supermarket have two prices, one is Huaxia coins and the other is US dollars. The problem is, even if it is based on Calculated by the international exchange rate, buying their goods with US dollars is at least about 5% more expensive than buying them with Huaxia coins, and some goods are even higher.”

The young man in the black jacket said, "We use Huaxia currency to buy goods, add a little profit and resell them, plus the exchange rate difference, at least we can make a profit of [-] to [-] percent."

You can earn two or three yuan for something worth 10 yuan, which is a very high profit.

Chen Hai asked, "Then do you accept US dollars or Huaxia coins?"

"U.S. dollars, Huaxia currency, and rubles are all accepted. Only we dare to accept rubles, and traders in other countries dare not, because the ruble has been falling and it is almost becoming waste paper." The young man in the black jacket smiled and recovered slowly. confidence.

He found that domestic cadres are not as knowledgeable as he is.

That's true, at least he knows the exchange rate difference. Among these people, the old comrades don't understand, Zhan Sheng knows a little bit, and Chen Hai is more familiar with it.

Chen Hai asked, "Since it's almost waste paper, why do you accept it?"

The young man in the black jacket clapped his fingers and explained, "It's very simple, because Shenzhen Development Bank has a business of exchanging rubles for Huaxia currency, and their poor masters in Kazakhstan either use rubles to exchange Huaxia currency for capital, or borrow money from Shenzhen Development Bank. No matter what the ruble is When trading, it will be priced according to the latest exchange rate, and then go to Shenzhen Development Bank to exchange it into Huaxia currency and deposit it in the account. After returning to China, you can go to Shenzhen Development Bank to withdraw it directly, and you will only lose some handling fees."

This is a rigorous and extremely exclusive business chain, the purpose of which is to allow Chinese people to do business in the former Soviet Union countries without any worries.

Because only rubles are exchanged for Huaxia currency, second-hand dealers in other countries want to get goods from Yongan Supermarket, they must first convert them into rubles, and then convert them into Huaxia currency. With such an extra link, they have already lost part of their profits. There is no way to compete with the downtrodden men of Huaxia.

As for domestic merchants, they have already borne the loss of ruble depreciation, and converting them into Huaxia currency to do business is just trying to slow down the depreciation of their wealth...

It can be said that this business chain is tailor-made for Chinese merchants.

Of course, Huaxia merchants cannot handle the small loan business only for merchants in the host country.

This business chain, the young man in the black jacket couldn't explain it thoroughly, and of course Chen Hai hadn't figured it out yet. In short, he got the answer to the question.

The young man in the black jacket maintained his enthusiasm and said, "Leaders, do you want to go in and take a look? I know the duty manager of this store. I will talk to him. It will be all right."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, young man." Lao Jiang was in no mood to play, and wanted to see what kind of store this Wing On Supermarket was.

The same is true for the other two old comrades. After so many years of revolutionary work, and so many years of shouting slogans to catch up with foreign countries, there is really such a thing that is ahead of foreigners.

The same is true for Zhan Sheng, because he has different ideas about economic development. He and his immediate superior, Du Zhiguo, are on the opposite side of Xia Honghua's faction, but it doesn't mean that they are ignorant, they are also elite young men in the bureaucracy group.

By looking at the leopard of Wing On Supermarket, we can probably understand the actual situation of Wing On Group's overseas business.

The profit brought by the exchange rate difference mentioned by the young man in the black jacket is a more esoteric issue in the field of international finance.

The young man in the black jacket is probably not a slob, he really brought out a middle-aged man in a professional suit, with a name tag pinned to his left chest, with his name written in Chinese and Russian.

"Leaders, welcome!" The manager on duty was very enthusiastic, first shaking hands with Comrade Jiang, and then shaking hands one by one.

Facing the Huaxia people, Zhan Sheng put on the posture of the Deputy Director of the First Division of the Secretary of the Economic and Trade Committee, nodded slightly and said, "Manager Deng, I am the Deputy Director of the First Division of the Secretary of the Economic and Trade Committee. store, I want to go in and visit.”

"Welcome, all leaders are welcome to visit. Alas, I never expected to meet domestic leaders in foreign countries. It is rare and rare. Everyone, please come here." Manager Deng was neither humble nor overbearing, and led everyone in with a smile. The most respectful, as if he didn't understand Zhan Shengcai's words.

Zhan Sheng was so embarrassed that he could only bear with it and walked in behind.

Yao Yuan shook his head slightly and sighed.

Chen Hai who was walking with him asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Yuan pointed at Zhan Shengcai's back with his chin, and said flatly, "I don't dare to show my arrogance in front of foreigners, and I wish I could be better than others in front of my compatriots. Old Chen, I feel sad."

"Foreigners have foreign guns. Some people get used to kneeling and forget to stand up." Chen Hai snorted coldly.

Yao Yuan was surprised, "Old Chen, you are also reborn?"

"What? What is the sound of insects and birds?" Chen Hai was confused.

Yao Yuan laughed and said, "It's nothing, your words hit the nail on the head..."
