Chapter 303 Foreign Exchange Bills
"Grandma, we don't have foreign exchange coupons, but we have money, we can use the money to buy overseas Chinese remittance coupons. β
"Who knows if you have bought it, but you can go and see it. "Grandma really took Yoyo to the overseas Chinese store. However, he asked Grandma Qin about them. They told their grandmother that the price of the overseas Chinese remittance voucher was about 1.80 yuan for 1.00 yuan foreign exchange coupon.
The Friendship Shop in Kyoto is a four-story building with so many things in it and cheap prices. It's a pity that the store collects foreign exchange coupons, and the yuan is really useless here.
Foreign exchange coupons can also be regarded as a special currency in this era, which is issued by the state in order to attract foreign exchange. According to the country's regulations, foreign exchange coupons and renminbi are equivalent.
However, because foreign exchange coupons can buy all kinds of high-quality and inexpensive items in friendship stores, the purchasing power of foreign exchange coupons is more than 30% higher than that of the renminbi, and some commodities are even as high as twice as high. This is also the main reason why one yuan of foreign exchange coupons sells for 1.80 yuan on the black market.
The Friendship Store not only has domestic products, but also a lot of imported goods from abroad. There are household appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, and air conditioners, as well as European-style furniture, sofas, and murals.
The price of color TV is acceptable,18Inch color TV1380Yuan eachγ The price of refrigerators and air conditioners is as high as five or six thousand yuan, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
But it's good to have European-style furniture, there are no old-fashioned appliances in the shopping mall, but there are retro European-style furniture.
The Moutai here is only 8 yuan a bottle, and there is no limit. However, you can't buy it without foreign exchange coupons. Milk powder is canned imported milk powder, imported coffee, chocolate, these are Yoyo's favorites.
There are a lot of people in the store, but there are really not many people who buy things. Everyone is dressed more openly, all kinds of clothes are available, at least bright and beautiful, breaking the pattern of black and blue, and the style is also avant-garde. There are also women with permed hair and high heels, which are more eye-catching, and the return rate is also quite high.
The salesman here has an arrogant attitude, can't see the currency voucher, and doesn't even bother to answer the question. If you think about it, if you have a good attitude, it is estimated that you will not be able to answer questions all day long.
However, when they saw foreign friends, their attitudes changed greatly, and their service was warm and thoughtful, but the conversation really didn't dare to be flattering, and they had to rely on gestures to communicate in a stumbling foreign language.
Yoyo and Grandma walked from the first floor to the fourth floor, and they had a general number in their hearts, so they went out to exchange for foreign exchange coupons. Actually, when you come in, you pay attention. At the entrance of the overseas Chinese store, there are foreign exchange coupons for sale.
Out of the store's door, Grandma looked around a little. Immediately, a middle-aged woman came over: "Eldest sister, do you want to buy overseas Chinese remittance coupons?" The right hand shrunk in her sleeve was exposed, holding a stack of tickets in her hand.
"How do you sell it?" asked Grandma, looking at her.
"Sister, let's talk over there. She pulled her grandmother down the corner of the store, which was basically empty and quiet.
"Eldest sister, I don't want you more, just according to the old market, two yuan for one yuan. Grandma asked her, "How many do you have?"
"I brought a total of five hundred yuan, eldest sister, how much do you want?" she said, going to her underwear pocket.
"If I want it, what price will you pay?"
She thought for a while, then discussed, "Eldest sister, I'll let you pay ten yuan, okay?"
"I heard that it's one yuan for eight yuan, and your price is really expensive. After Grandma finished speaking, she pulled Yoyo and walked back.
An old man came next to him and shouted to his grandmother: "Big sister, don't go, she came for the first time today, and she doesn't know the market." Thirty or fifty is two yuan for one yuan, and the more you want, the cheaper the price, according to the price you say. β
It seems that the two of them are playing double reeds, but since the price is right, grandma didn't compete anymore: "Okay, I want an overseas Chinese remittance coupon of 500 yuan." β
The man took out the overseas Chinese remittance vouchers from his pocket, large and small, in denominations. It seems that she ordered it and handed it to her grandmother. Yoyo helped grandma and counted the foreign exchange coupons, which were exactly 500 yuan. Grandma took out a wad of money from her pocket, took out ten, and handed the rest to her.
The woman ordered the money very quickly, and had a fight with the bank staff: "It's exactly 900 yuan." Eldest sister, if you want it again in the future, remember to look for me again, no matter how much it is next time, I will give you this price. β
"Okay, if I want it later, I'll come to you. β
Grandma took the exchange voucher, and the mother and mother returned to the overseas Chinese store. Grandma used foreign exchange coupons to buy a phoenix bicycle for her mother, and you bought chocolate, coffee, milk powder and other items.
The rest of the foreign exchange coupons were bought into Moutai by Yoyo. Now there are 24 bottles of Moutai in a large box, and a total of one box and two bottles are required.
In addition to the traditional Chinese costumes such as cheongsam and Zhongshan suit, most of the clothes here are foreign clothing, whether it is style or color, which is obviously different from the clothing of the Chinese people, and is collectively called foreign clothing.
Yoyo compares the clothes here and chooses the right clothes for family and friends as gifts in his own mall.
When I went back, I put boxes of Moutai wine into the space, and took out rice, peanut oil, pork, beef and other foods from my own mall, as well as a lot of clothes and European-style bedding. Grandma's newly bought bicycle was full of it.
When she returned to Professor Wen's house, Grandma Li looked at the things they brought back and said regretfully: "Sister-in-law, you really went to the overseas Chinese store, you, it's really not worth wasting foreign exchange coupons on these things." We, the tickets that have been reissued for more than ten years at once can't be used at all. Let Wanying use these rice and oil first, and then buy these later, and we will give you a ticket. β
Grandma took out the clothes given to them, Grandma Li and their spring and autumn clothes of gold velvet and cotton jackets of brocade, and Professor Wen taught them pure wool tunics and suits.
Hao Hao and Di Di are three-piece suits, shirts, and leather shoes, and the two of them change into typical young master lambs. When Hao Hao heard Youyou's words, his face turned red with anger, but he was reluctant to take it off. The brothers held up their small breasts and swayed back and forth in leather shoes, which was not good.
Yoyo found a set of thin tweed skirts to wear, and against the backdrop of layers of lace, everyone said that Yoyo looked like a little princess.
Didi's brain opened up, and he justified his name loudly: "Sister, you are wrong, you are a princess, my brother and I are princes, you can't be called a young master." β
Everyone was amused by him and laughed. Professor Wen smiled and said, "Didi, you're right, your grandfather is the prince, aren't you the prince?" β
Money is good work, and after Sunday, the house was completely renewed. The freshly painted walls were snow-white, and the clean wooden floors had been waxed, and Professor Wen and the others were ready to paint the walls of their own homes.
