Chapter 2 Be a happy middleman
Five o'clock in the morning!
The sky was clear, and the sun, which was emitting the red glow of the morning glow, was already hanging high in the sky.
In order to go to the city and cooperate with his plan, Wu Jianye specially borrowed a white shirt and a pair of bell bottoms from Zheng Xiaoning, and asked Ma Huiwu to borrow his big scalp shoes, and then officially went out.
This set of equipment, even if it is in the city, is the most fashionable dress, plus Wu Jianye specially washed his hair, but he looks a little handsome.
"Old Wu, you can look like this, you should have signed up for the acting department in the first place!" Feng Xiaoning stood next to Wu Jianye, he went into the city with Wu Jianye today, but he went home to improve his food, and by the way, he took some necessities of life.
"Don't forget to grab a few No. 2 batteries, your tape recorder is almost ready to sing!" Wu Jianye admonished.
Now the tape recorders still use No. 2 batteries, unlike the No. 5 batteries or No. 7 batteries that were basically used later.
"Don't worry, don't forget our gamble yesterday!" Feng Xiaoning waved his hand.
"You just wait to wash my socks for a month!" Wu Jianye was full of confidence.
Saying this, the two came to the gate of the academy, a bare wall, an iron gate that could pass through two cars, and a wooden sign hanging at the door, which read, 'Yenching Film Academy'!
The inscription is not a well-known character, that is, a teacher in the school, the word 'shadow', or a shorthand, consisting of a 'well' character and three apostrophes.
It can't be compared with the magnificent gate of the Yenching Film Academy in the future.
There are farmer farms around, but they are also choked by the students in the academy......
The two walked and chatted, and after more than ten minutes, they came to the bus stop of the 345 bus, because Zhu Xinzhuang is not the starting station, there are many people who want to go to Beijing in this era, so when Wu Jianye and Feng Xiaoning get on the bus, there is no seat at all, and it is good to be independent without the golden rooster.
When he got on the bus, Wu Jianye was still a little worried that his 'ticket' would be recognized, but it turned out that the conductor just glanced at them and ignored them.
This made Wu Jianye breathe a sigh of relief.
The crowded crowd in the car made Wu Jianye and Feng Xiaoning have no interest in chatting, and the two of them stood all the way to Desheng Gate.
"Okay, old Wu, I'm going home, it's actually a matter of washing socks for a month, why don't you go home and eat with me?" Feng Xiaoning invited Wu to see the night.
"It's not certain who washes whom, okay, let's go!" Wu Jianye wiped the sweat on his face and walked straight towards Jianguomen, in fact, between the two places, there is still a bus, and the ticket is 1 jiao, but Wu Jianye only has 2 jiao and 5 points in his pocket now, and he doesn't dare to get scared at all.
The buses run around, and occasionally you can see someone riding a bicycle with people passing by, and the cyclists have a sense of pride on their faces, which is like driving a BMW to the street in later generations, and cars are relatively rare, basically Jim and Volga made in Eastern Europe, jingling like a tractor.
About half an hour later, Wu Jianye finally saw the sign of the Friendship Store, which seemed much cleaner than the road he had just come, and there were a lot more yellow-haired and blue-eyed foreigners on the street.
Some foreigners are followed by one or two Chinese, and some foreigners hang up their cameras, wandering around leisurely, and take two photos from time to time.
Wu saw that he came to the friendship store at night, naturally not to buy something, not to mention that he only had 2 jiao and 5 cents in his pocket, even if he had dozens of yuan, it was useless, if he wanted to buy something here, he had to use foreign exchange coupons.
And Wu Jianye came over this time to be a scalper.
Although foreigners can buy things in the friendship store, they can't just buy things in the friendship store, and they need Huaxia money in other places, while domestic people who want to buy things in the friendship store can only rely on exchanging foreign exchange coupons.
The difference in price is Wu Jianye's goal today.
However, Wu Jianye did not rush over to greet foreigners, now he only has 2 jiao and 5 points in his pocket, even if there are foreigners who want to exchange money, he can't take it out.
The important thing is to find it first, and then use the money of the next family to exchange it for foreign exchange coupons for foreigners, and he himself is a happy middleman......
Finding a shady place, Wu Jianye began to observe the environment here.
The next family is not for everyone, the business of reselling foreign exchange coupons in this era is basically monopolized by the big stubborn lords of Sijiu City, if Wu Jianye enters the market rashly, the money is not earned, and it is estimated that he will be beaten.
After observing for a while, Wu Jianye found that two young people dressed in fashionable clothes, every time they found a foreigner, it would be fine if the foreigner had an interpreter by his side, but if there was no translator, he could only talk and make comparisons, in this case, it would be more difficult to reach a deal.
Seeing them just walk away in frustration beside a few foreigners, the corners of Wu Jianye's mouth curled slightly, and he found ......
"Lao Cao, that bastard, he doesn't get sick sooner or later, he has to be sick at this time, and today's business is all gone!" Chen Ming scolded and looked at the few foreign exchange coupons he had in his hand.
"What can be done about this, who asked us to make do with Lao Cao's English alone!" Zhao Lei also looked helpless.
"Damn, when, these foreigners have to learn Mandarin first!" Chen Ming still said angrily.
"Okay, don't complain, let's think about what to do with the rest of the time, there is still half a day!" Zhao Lei muttered.
"What else can I do? Chilled salad, it looks like it's no fun today, so I'll have to go home early." Chen Ming said.
Zhao Lei looked a little depressed, and he was thinking that he would earn money today, and with the money he saved some time ago, he would be able to buy a tape recorder for his sister who was thinking about going abroad every day to learn English.
"You two seem to be a little difficult!" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
Both of them changed their faces, revealing a look of horror, and following the prestige, they saw a young man, smiling, wearing a white shirt, bell bottoms, and big scalp shoes, looking a little temperamental.
Could it be that the recalcitrant lord came over in person?
Was it noticed so quickly?
"Who are you?" asked Chen Ming cautiously, while his eyes were still flickering from side to side, to see if there was anyone behind the young man, fortunately he was the only one.
At this time, the private exchange of foreign exchange coupons is actually a gray business, which is managed by the government, and there is a group of stubborn owners below to rob the business, no matter which one of them, Chen Ming and Zhao Lei can bear the blame.
"You don't have to be nervous, my name is Wu Jianye, I've been observing the two of you for a long time, and I see that the two of them seem to lack a helper!"
Since the target was aimed at the two of them, Wu Jianye has been carefully observing them, first of all, there is no translator around the two, which shows that they are a small gang, and then Wu Jianye saw that the two of them were very careful, and when they encountered other scalpers, they were all hiding, which made Wu Jianye's guess even more certain, and the two were very likely to be single-brushed.
After more than an hour, the two repeatedly hit a wall, and the business did not make a few orders at all, looking at the decadent expressions of the two, Wu Jianye knew that they already wanted to give up, and this time was the best time for him to appear......
