After the initial mediation between the two sides, the purchasing manager of the Yuezhou Fishery and Animal Husbandry Products Import and Export Company only agreed to buy Sumei in bulk at a price of 70 yuan per kilogram and Tsing Yi at a price of 60 yuan per kilogram.

Then Gu Kun didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore: "Manager Zhu, since you have to say that, there is nothing to talk about." I'm sorry for wasting your time, I'll find a buyer myself. ”

Manager Zhu's expression was a little stunned: "Mr. Gu, I'm here to help you solve the problem, you are selling fresh food, and a day of delay is a day's loss."

If you search the whole city of Yuezhou, there won't be other units that come up with so many dollars to play with you. We Chinese people have always had a tradition of hardship and simplicity, not those degenerate capital pay attention to the country, foreign exchange is not used for luxury, I hope you recognize this reality. ”

"Isn't it a luxury, you still buy Wagyu beef and Australian dragons? Gu Kun didn't want to say it, but he suddenly felt that this kind of double standard was too ridiculous, and he couldn't help but complain more.

Manager Zhu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought about this problem, and hurriedly temporarily organized the wording to justify:

"This ...... This is different, those are because the Spring Fair is approaching, entertaining foreign businessmen, allowing them to eat and drink well and be in a good mood in order to purchase more things, which is to serve the overall situation. ”

Gu Kun lit a cigar and asked rhetorically, "Eating novel sea fish that I have never seen before, can't you make foreign businessmen feel comfortable and save face?"

Manager Zhu said to himself very unconfidently: "I haven't seen this, who dares to guarantee that the foreign chamber of commerce is satisfied." Our import and export company bought it at a high price, and it is useless if the big hotels in the city don't buy it......"

"Okay, since you said it doesn't count, don't say it. Gu Kun waved his hand, went straight around this guy, and turned to a showdown with the female customs section chief who organized this transaction today.

"Section Chief Chen, thank you for your arrangement. Since you are shy in your pocket, I still have to find a buyer myself, I don't have to worry about foreign exchange issues, I am willing to accept RMB settlement. That shouldn't be in the way of who I sell to, right?"

Section Chief Chen is the person in charge of the customs deposit office that Chen Li and Gu Pan met when they went to go through the formalities before, and she took the lead in today's matter.

After listening to Gu Kun's statement, she was also quite surprised, because it was rare to see such a foreign businessman, especially since January this year, she had never seen one.

Today is February 22, 53 days have passed since 1994.

But in the whole 53 days, the huge province of eastern Guangdong has not even seen a single large import foreign businessman willing to accept RMB.

Section Chief Chen is a member of the customs industry and is very familiar with foreign trade, so of course she dares to make this assertion.

Just when she didn't know how to deal with it because she was surprised, Gu Kun continued to put pressure on her: "What? Isn't this okay? Then you don't allow me to find a buyer by myself, and you refuse to give me a reasonable price?"

At last year's meeting, your country made it clear that it would make the transition from a planned commodity economy to a market economy.

When Gu Kun said this, he paused, and instructed Chen Li next to him: "Turn off the video, don't shoot these." ”

Only then did the customs people realize the seriousness, and they immediately panicked, lest they would be embarrassed and thrown abroad.

It turned out that Gu Kun brought the video recorder he bought at RM8,000 in Kuching today, which he used five days ago when he filmed himself cutting his appendix.

Some people may be surprised: why would one of the parties in this kind of business negotiation situation bring in a video recorder and shoot it in a big way?

But in fact, in the mid-90s, this kind of thing was not taken care of by the relevant units in the country. Because it has not yet entered the Internet era, the public service is not afraid of you to shoot, and even if you do, there is no place to expose it.

The most ironclad example is the vote that Ma Feng (Jack Ma) did in 96. People didn't make an appointment to break into the National Sports Commission, saying that they could publicize it to the sports department through the Huaxia Yellow Pages.

The classic quotations of Section Chief Dong, such as "You have to make an appointment in advance, if you don't make an appointment, it will be difficult for me to give you a satisfactory answer" / "The matter of Huaxia Yellow Pages is very complicated", that is taken by the video recorder brought by Jack Ma's assistant.

These materials later came to the Internet era, and after Jack Ma's success, he was whipped by many netizens as eyeless materials.

Although Gu Kun is just a fish seller, he also knows that he must always do a good job of collecting evidence before his devotion, so that in the future, his admirers will be even more desperate for him.

Section Chief Chen woke up in shock, didn't dare to think nonsense, and directly explained to Gu Kun: "No, no, we just haven't met a foreign businessman who asked for RMB this year, there are some surprises, and there is absolutely no other meaning."

You are willing to accept RMB, this is to support our work, and it is too late to be happy. Would you like us to introduce you to some other seafood merchants in the city who are powerful and settled in RMB?"

The other party has already relented, and Gu Kun is not too much: "Since this is the case, then I am not welcome-in this way, I will borrow your phone and call Xu Feng, you can help me endorse my identity, let him be willing to talk to me, I will thank you." ”

Section Chief Chen didn't dare to slack off: "Mr. Xu, who supplies the White Swan and Huaxia International Hotel, you foreigners who come for the first time know him, okay, I'll help you contact him immediately." After a while, I will ask the leaders again to see if there are any additional incentives for foreign investors in RMB settlement. ”

As he spoke, Section Chief Chen led Gu Kun to the office with a telephone next door, and Gu Kun picked it up and dialed a six-digit number of "901088".

This number is the famous seafood merchant Xu Feng's. The reason why Gu Kun knew it was because it was written in history textbooks.

In December 1987, Yuezhou City launched the first batch of mobile phones in Chinese history, the brick-shaped "Big Brother" of Motorola, a total of 100 units, with numbers ranging from 9010-00 to 9010-99.

Seafood merchant Xu Feng, in order to compete for the status of "pretending to be the leader of the sect", spent 20,000 or 30,000 yuan to grab the machine, and spent 40,000 or 50,000 yuan to grab the first network access permit, and chose the number 88. Therefore, his mobile phone is the first mobile phone in the history of China.

Gu Kun thinks that this kind of person should be the best able to understand the true value of novelty products that show off their wealth.

Section Chief Chen watched Gu Kun dial on the side, and secretly sighed in his heart: Boss Xu's 80,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone back then was really worth it. As long as he buys the gimmick of being the first in the rivers and lakes, even the overseas Chinese in Nanyang know his prestige.

The phone was quickly connected, and Gu Kun said without humility or arrogance: "Mr. Xu, the contemptible surname is Gu, a seafood merchant from Nanyang, you should know that this is the number of the customs fresh food deposit office, I have a new variety of seafood that is not too big, I don't know if you have time to chat." ”

Xu Feng on the other side of the phone hesitated, his tone was quite polite, but as soon as he heard it, he knew that he was doubting Gu Kun's identity.

But fortunately, Section Chief Chen immediately took the microphone: "Boss Xu, my customs Xiao Chen." We have verified the identity information and source of this guest, you can rest assured, it depends on whether you are interested. People are willing to accept RMB, otherwise we will not let foreign businessmen trade directly with you. ”

As soon as he heard that Section Chief Chen of the customs had endorsed the identity and authenticity of the source of goods, the other party immediately became enthusiastic and said that he would immediately choose a place to sit with Gu Kun.
