Chapter 45: The Way of the Tyrant

looked at the stack of dollars that Chen Geng put on the table...... It's about 5,000 US dollars, because the thickness is about the same as what Chen Geng gave before...... Lian Changheng and Ding Haijun looked at each other: What does this mean? Didn't you just give the $5,000 donated to China this month?

Ding Haijun reacted a little faster and asked Chen Geng: "Mr. Chen, what are you ......?"

"Don't worry, this money is not for you, don't worry about me co-opting and corrupting the state cadres of the republic," a little joke, Chen Geng immediately said: "That's the case, since I still have relatives in the country, I can't go back for a while, I don't know if I can ask the two of you, and when someone from our liaison office returns to China, by the way, give this money back to my second uncle?"

I see.

Lian Changheng and Ding Haijun breathed a sigh of relief, and Ding Haijun subconsciously said: "Mr. Chen, don't be like this, your second cousin is an active officer, and they are not short of money......"

Chen Geng smiled and didn't save face for the two people in front of him: " Deputy Director Ding, and Director Lian, there is no one else here, I will say some things directly, these years, people who have secretly run out of the mainland are not nothing, I also know a little about what the situation is in the mainland now, to put it bluntly, although the mainland has initially established a complete industrial system, but the current economic situation is not very optimistic, more than half of the people are still in a state of poverty, the supply of all kinds of materials is also seriously insufficient, in order to ensure that people can survive, so that the government has to implement a strict control system for materials: almost all materials are purchased by small tickets。 From daily rice, noodles, meat and eggs to radios, televisions, bicycles, and almost all of these industrial products need corresponding bills, I heard that a typical dual-income family only has three or five catties of meat and egg tickets a month, am I right?"

Ding Haijun and Lian Changheng were both embarrassed.

Is what Chen Geng said the truth?

Of course, even if the two of them are already middle- and high-level cadres of the republic, they still need all kinds of food stamps, cloth stamps, and meat stamps at home, which are nothing more than a little more supply...... Chen Geng's second cousin, the small battalion commander of the East China Military Region, how much better could the situation be than his own people? Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to eat meat with an open belly.

"This money doesn't mean anything else, I just want to make my second cousin's family live a better life, so can you trouble the two of you to say hello to the local government, let them take proper care of my second uncle's family, and give them more meat tickets, egg tickets and other things every month? Thinking that his wife had been thinking about buying a refrigerator at this time, Chen Geng's eyes couldn't help but turn red again, but this detail fell in the eyes of Lian Changheng and Ding Haijun, and it was natural for the two of them to think that Chen Geng was caring about his relatives in China, and the doubts in his heart before suddenly disappeared a lot.

After a brief pause, without waiting for the two to speak, Chen Geng continued: "By the way, speaking of which, based on my cousin's age, it's almost time to go to high school now, right?

What does it mean to go to high school soon, this fall, Chen Geng should go to high school (why is it so awkward?), Chen Geng clearly remembers that his biggest wish at this time is to have a bicycle, what mountain bikes, sports cars and the like I don't want to, I have never heard of it, it is good to have a big golden deer, if there can be a phoenix, it will be too bull X.

It's a pity that it wasn't until the second semester of the second semester of high school that Chen Geng realized his dream, and now that he has the opportunity, of course, he has to make his dream come true (at this time, even Chen Geng himself feels awkward), he is sure that Lian Changheng will definitely agree to his request.

Chen Geng has already said this, what else can Ding Haijun and Lian Changheng say?

Not to mention that Chen Geng seems to have some understanding of the situation in China, what is the focus of his work in the United States? Isn't it just to build good relations with these rich Chinese and overseas Chinese in the United States, and invite these overseas Chinese to go back and invest when the top decides to turn around? Now that you've started to hit other people's wallets, don't you want to open this door of convenience to others?

The leaders of the CPC Central Committee have given important instructions on the working methods and methods of the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States, pointing out that at present and for a long time to come, the core of our diplomatic work is to be flexible in adhering to principles, and to meet the demands of "friends" as much as possible while not involving or affecting the core principles that we adhere to.

Therefore, in the face of Chen Geng's request, what else can Lian Changheng, the liaison office of China in the United States, do? Of course, he agreed to him.

Lian Changheng gritted his teeth: "Brother, you have said so, what else can I say? ”

Chen Geng was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that this "gritted teeth" was pretending to be shown to himself, the purpose was to let himself know how difficult it was to do this, and he didn't expect to get anything from himself, but I worked so hard for you this time, do you have to remember me for a favor? But there is no need to say it, Chen Geng nodded and said, "Well, you say." ”

"This money can't be handed over directly to your second cousin, the state will convert this dollar into RM currency for your second uncle according to the official exchange rate, the current exchange rate is 1:1.72, and the money in your second cousin's hand is ...... Well, 8600 RMB, you have to understand this. ”

"OK, no problem," Chen Geng agreed without saying a word: "You just give me the second cousin dollars, and he has no place to spend it, right?"

Chen Geng is so easy to speak, but it makes Lian Changheng breathe a sigh of relief, he is really afraid that Chen Geng insists on giving his second uncle dollars, no way, although the official exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is 1:1.72, but in fact, the exchange ratio between private individuals has exceeded 1:4.2, the same money, the official exchange ratio is 8600 yuan, and the private exchange ratio is 21000, a full 12400 yuan difference, it will make people crazy...... At this time, the monthly salary of workers was only more than 20 yuan.

Lian Changheng didn't believe that Chen Geng really didn't know at all, but no matter whether Chen Geng didn't know or knew but didn't care, since Chen Geng agreed to this exchange ratio, the following things are easy to say: "Bicycle tickets, TV tickets and refrigerator tickets are easy to say, but there are more batches of meat and eggs every month...... This ......" Lian Changheng gritted his teeth: "What do you think about 20 catties of meat and 15 catties of eggs every month?"

"A family is less than 7 taels of meat a day?" Chen Geng frowned, and suddenly became unhappy: "My second uncle exercises so much every day, and my younger brother is when he is growing tall and learning to use his brain, what can this thing do?" 90 catties of meat tickets and 30 catties of egg tickets per month, so it is decided." I almost forgot, my little brother is now a time when the study task is heavy, can you add two more cans of milk powder a month?"

Lian Changheng and Ding Haijun suddenly cried and laughed: Okay, not only is this not less, but there is a little more.

It was Chen Geng, and before Lian Changheng could agree, he suddenly remembered that Ruoyan girl seemed to have just entered junior high school now?

Your own daughter-in-law, you have to care about it. Glancing at Ding Haijun, Chen Geng thought for a while and said, "Deputy Director Ding, I remember that you said that your daughter is also in junior high school? The little girl is developing at this time, so I will buy two boxes of milk powder, one box for your daughter and one box for my little brother, don't look at me like that, it's settled." ”

Ding Haijun was dumbfounded: "......"

What is the situation with Nima, why did it suddenly come to me for some reason?

How did he know that the ill-intentioned guy in front of him had already begun to think about taking care of his future daughter-in-law.

Ding Haijun, who reacted, waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no, really don't need it......"

But Chen Gengxian didn't mean to ask Ding Haijun's opinion, so he turned his head and said to Lian Changheng: "Does Director Lian have anything to bring?"

"No, no, no. Lian Changheng waved his hand busily, he was really a little afraid of Chen Geng, this guy doesn't treat money as money, right?

But Chen Geng frowned: "No." ”

"What's wrong?" I don't know what went wrong again, Lian Changheng hurriedly asked.

"It's a little too troublesome for you," Chen Geng smacked his lips: "Let's just do this, I'll pack an air container, and send all the things I bought for my second uncle, second aunt, and younger brother to the air container, and if any of you want to bring things back, let's fill the container." ”

Can air containers be sent from the United States to China?

Of course, there is no problem, but it needs to be transferred from Dongying, although Huaxia and the United States have not yet established diplomatic relations, but Huaxia and RB officially established diplomatic relations as early as 1972, and it is not a problem to transit an air container. It's just that......

Lian Changheng's face was confused.

Ding Haijun also looked confused.

Chen Geng's decision refreshed their understanding of the rich, how expensive air transportation is, televisions, refrigerators, bicycles, milk powder...... How much does it cost to fly such a heavy thing? How much does it cost to fly a flight of tens of thousands of kilometers? But Chen Geng actually decided so happily without blinking an eyelid?!

Chen Geng looked at Lian Changheng and Ding Haijun with a vigilant expression: "I said, these things of mine can be handed over to my second uncle and them safe and sound, right?"

Faced with Chen Geng's question, Lian Changheng and Ding Haijun suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, do you know how much China attaches importance to you now, other people's things are not easy to say, but your things are ...... Who dares to move a finger, that's looking for death, do you know?
