Early the next morning, the two of them went to the bank to queue up, took out all the money in the passbook, counted it, put it in a bag, and after excluding the fractions, they found a total of 143,600 yuan, of which 110,000 yuan belonged to the Feng family. Two thousand eight.
The two of them drove straight to the International Hotel. This was a time when there were frequent visits and they could intercept foreigners.
Three foreigners were waving, as if they wanted to take a taxi. As the first city in the country to have taxis, Bingcheng's taxi development is now leading the country.
"Excuse me, do you three want to use the car?" Feng Yu leaned over and asked in English.
A blond foreigner glanced at Feng Yu curiously, then looked at the jeep in the distance, and then nodded: "How much does your car cost to get to the river?"
They have been cheated by this kind of car. The taxi only costs five yuan, but they charge fifty yuan, and they won't let them get out of the car without giving it!
"Ten yuan, but we only charge RMB."
"Why? I pay you US dollars, five US dollars, and you can exchange it for more than ten RMB." The foreigner does not understand. He uses US dollars to buy things, except for some small shops, everything is smooth, and the other party is very happy. Why is this No one accepts it
"No, just RMB. Don't you have RMB? Then I can help you exchange it, which is slightly higher than the market price." Feng Yu smiled slyly.
In this day and age, it is not that simple for foreigners to exchange RMB. What's more, Americans have always believed that their US dollars circulate globally and do not bother to exchange them.
The blond foreigner showed a mocking expression. It turned out that the other party was not a car rental guy at all, but just wanted to exchange US dollars with them.
"How much RMB can you give me in exchange for 1 US dollar?"
"Three point eight yuan, which is higher than the exchange rate, and it's cash." The current exchange rate is around three seven yuan.
"No, four yuan!"
"Then we can't reach an agreement. This is an international hotel. There are more than just you three foreigners holding foreign currencies. Goodbye."
"Wait a minute, how much can you give us in exchange?" The blond foreigner found that this kid was not so easy to deal with, and he was probably a veteran in this industry.
"How many dollars do you have?"
The three people discussed it and slapped each other: "Five thousand dollars!"
"No problem, please come to the car with me."
The transaction went smoothly and both parties were happy. Americans think they have taken advantage, and in China, using rmb is more cost-effective without being cheated every time, not to mention it is higher than the exchange rate. Feng Yu is of course very happy that more people are rushing to exchange U.S. dollars in China.
"Can the U.S. dollars be exchanged?"
"Guaranteed more than four yuan!" When exchanging rubles, someone asked him about U.S. dollars.
Feng Yu continued to get off the car and wandered in front of the International Hotel.
Whenever he met someone in a suit or someone who looked rich, Feng Yu would approach him and strike up a conversation. After just a few casual conversations, he can know whether the other party needs to exchange RMB, and whether the other party can come up with more than 1,000 yuan in foreign currency.
By noon, the two of them had exchanged more than 50,000 RMB, and what they got back were US dollars and rubles. There were few people asking for other foreign currencies, so it was difficult to exchange them.
After going to a small noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles, the two returned to the vicinity of the International Hotel.
Kirilenko's business in China is almost finished and he plans to go back in two days. I plan to purchase some Chinese products and specialties to bring back to my family and friends.
In China, foreigners are often deceived. Although the sign says 1, he thought it was one yuan, but later he learned that it meant 1 jiao. Ten 1 jiao is 1 yuan. What's more, he paid rubles, and the other party But they pretended not to know, just treated it as RMB, without considering the exchange rate at all.
Today he plans to find a way to find a way for the hotel manager to help him exchange some RMB. The bank is too far and no one understands Russian.
The man in the dog-skin hat in front looked familiar. Wasn't he the guy who sold him the black bear skin at a high price that day? What was he doing here? Was he here to sell prey again? I was looking for him, but you dared to lie to me!
An angry Kirilenko walked up to Feng Yu, and then Feng Yu saw this tall man. Well, he had a very big head, and he looked like a boy giving money.
"Mr. Kirilenko, we meet again." Feng Yu smiled and waved.
"Are you here to sell prey again? Last time you sold me a bear skin for 20,000 rubles. But I asked around and found that you can buy it for 5,000 RMB. You are a liar!" Kirilenko grabbed Feng Yu arm, don’t even think about running away!
Feng Yu immediately explained: "Bear skins are also classified according to their quality. The one I sold you is a high-quality one. The one worth 5,000 yuan has wormholes and bullet holes, and it is an aged bear skin. If you don't believe me, go ask."
"Is that so? Maybe I misunderstood. You are from a family of hunters, and you can hunt such a big bear. Have you ever hunted a Siberian tiger? I want a tiger skin, fresh!" Kirilenkoson He started to buy another tiger skin that he had always wanted.
Well, stupid people have too much money! This is Feng Yu’s new definition for Kirilenko.
He had only seen Siberian tigers in the zoo in his previous life.
"I'm sorry, this kind of thing is priceless. If you want the skins of other animals, such as mink or fox skins, I can help you buy them."
Kirilenko shook his head regretfully. If he had another tiger skin, he would definitely become an unsurpassed presence among his friends when he returns to his motherland. Who has ever hunted both a tiger and a black bear? It’s just me, Kirilenko!
It seems that this dream cannot be realized, but a black bear skin is enough for him to brag about for half a lifetime.
Seeing Kirilenko about to leave, Feng Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Kirilenko, you should still have a lot of rubles on hand. I remember that you are going back to China soon. Do you want to buy some Chinese specialties? Use RMB to get more It’s convenient and cost-effective, I can help you redeem it with only a small handling fee.”
Dealing with others is higher than the exchange rate, but dealing with this kind of rich man, you may still be able to make a fortune from him.
Kirilenko's eyebrows twitched and he pretended to be calm: "Handling fee? I'll go to the bank to change it. There is no handling fee."
"The bank also wants it, and there is a queue, and the number is large, and it cannot be processed on the same day. More importantly, no one in the bank understands Russian. Mr. Kirilenko, it is more convenient to use RMB in China, isn't it?"
Kirilenko's words had revealed that he wanted to exchange money, which could not be hidden from Feng Yu at all.
"How much can you exchange and how much is the handling fee?"
Feng Yu was secretly happy and took the bait!
"One to four, the extra is my handling fee. If it's within 20,000 rubles, I can exchange it for you now. If it's more, you'll have to wait a day or two, but that's no problem."
Anyone who can spend 20,000 rubles to buy a bearskin must be a rich man, but he just doesn’t know what business Kirilenko’s family is doing.
"Can you exchange 20,000 rubles now?" Kirilenko looked Feng Yu up and down, but did not see the bag containing the money.
Feng Yu pointed to the jeep not far away: "In the car." Seeing Feng Yu pointing over, Li Shiqiang quickly waved. This was the secret code agreed upon by the two.
"Okay, I'll just change it to 20,000 rubles. Just wait, I'll go up and get the money."
Feng Yu clenched his fists tightly. It seemed that he could exchange all the money in less than an hour.
The transaction went very smoothly. Before Kirilenko got off the bus, he asked Feng Yu where he could buy Chinese specialties. Feng Yu blinked, Kirilenko is such a good comrade, he wants to give money again!
Feng Yu asked Li Shiqiang in Chinese: "Brother Li, can you buy ham sausage, Jianlibao and canned fruits?"
In this era, these domestic products were in hot demand in the Soviet Union.
"I have a comrade in the supply and marketing cooperative. He heard that his unit had reserved a batch of goods that were not sold during the Chinese New Year. He was worried, how much does this old man want?"
After Feng Yu asked clearly, he whispered to Li Shiqiang: "Bit your tongue, don't laugh, and show that you are embarrassed. He has to buy these specialties with the 80,000 yuan he just exchanged!"
If Feng Yu hadn't reminded him, Li Shiqiang would have jumped up with excitement. But now he looked like he was in pain. He had no choice but to bite his tongue too hard.
"Is it difficult?" Kirilenko asked sheepishly. It must be difficult to handle, otherwise why would the driver look so embarrassed and in pain
"No, we have a way, but we need his father's help, which will incur some additional costs."
"I understand, but you have to be quick. I have to fly back to Moscow the day after tomorrow, and I have to check these things in. So, these thousand rubles are for you, is that enough?" In the Soviet Union, it was the same thing to find someone to do something to give you some gifts. Very common.
Feng Yu said happily: "No problem!"
