Chapter 66: Amazing German Auntie
Regarding Feng Xiaochen's bold words, Luo Xiangfei and Hu Zhijie were a little skeptical. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe Luo Xiangfei will be a little less suspicious, after all, he has more contact with Feng Xiaochen, and he feels that there is some possibility for this kind of high consciousness to appear in Feng Xiaochen.
In any case, a few leaders can relax a little. Even if Feng Xiaochen may do something like studying abroad through his relatives overseas in the future, at least this time, he should be more active and will not drop the chain on the spot. Thinking from the perspective of the most conspiracy theory, Feng Xiaochen may be a smart move to do this, because if he wants to go abroad, many procedures need to go through the unit. He is behaving better now, so that the unit leaders have a good impression of him, and when he wants to go abroad in the future, won't there be fewer obstacles?
"Xiao Feng, your grandmother has been away from the motherland for so many years, and she must miss you children in China very much. You have time to spend more time with her, as long as it doesn't interfere with work. Please also express your greetings to her old family on our behalf, and say that the motherland welcomes her to go back to visit relatives and sightseeing at any time. ”
When Feng Xiaochen left Luo Xiangfei's room, Luo Xiangfei said to him.
Liu Yanping personally sent Feng Xiaochen to the corridor and said some words of encouragement and envy to him. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Feng Xiaochen grabbed Liu Yanping and said, "Director Liu, there is something I want to ask you for instructions." My grandmother gave me 5,000 marks of pocket money, and I accepted it, isn't it a violation of discipline?"
"Of course not!" Liu Yanping said, "This is the money your own grandmother gave you, and it is reasonable to give as much as you want." Oh, Xiao Feng, you're amazing, 5,000 marks, tsk, more than 4,000 yuan, why don't you buy a few large items in Germany and bring them back?"
Feng Xiaochen looked humble and said: "I don't have anything to buy, I'm still a bachelor, buy a big color TV and go back, where can I put it?" Director Liu, I don't know if our group's foreign exchange is lacking, otherwise, I'll give you the 5,000 marks at your disposal, and after you go back, you can just return it to me according to the exchange rate, what do you think?"
"Really?" Liu Yanping's eyes were about to pop out, what a good thing this is, this Xiao Feng actually gave this opportunity to himself?
In those days, foreign exchange was an extremely rare thing. For those who go abroad temporarily on public assignment, there is a state subsidy for going abroad, which is only 500 marks per capita. Those who go abroad to study or do other long-term visits, with the certificate of going abroad, can exchange some foreign exchange in the Bank of China, but the amount is also extremely limited. Some people with overseas ties can get foreign exchange from overseas relatives and friends, but as soon as they enter the country, they have to exchange these foreign exchange coupons for so-called foreign exchange coupons according to regulations, and they can buy things in foreign trade stores, but they cannot bring them abroad for consumption.
At that time, Chinese people also had a way to obtain foreign exchange, that is, to go to the airport to exchange it with foreigners entering the country. Since the official exchange rate of the renminbi is overvalued, foreigners entering the country will suffer a lot of losses by exchanging renminbi directly through official channels, and experienced foreigners will go outside the airport to find scalpers to exchange renminbi. According to the foreign exchange rate in 1980, 1 US dollar is equivalent to 1.5 yuan, and if you exchange it with scalpers, at most 1 US dollar can be exchanged for 10 yuan.
This kind of foreign exchange that is exchanged by scalpers at a high price, when it is exchanged again, it will naturally have to be further increased. As a result, the price of foreign exchange in the domestic private sector is much higher than the official exchange rate. Before Liu Yanping and others go abroad, they will find a way to find someone to exchange foreign exchange, even through acquaintances, plus some power exchange that is not humane to outsiders, the cost of exchanging foreign currency will be much higher than the official exchange rate.
For example, according to the exchange rate at that time, 1 West German mark was equivalent to about 8 dimes, but when Liu Yanping exchanged marks in China, the cost was more than 1 yuan, which was already an extremely cheap price, and it required countless favors.
Now, Feng Xiaochen claims to hand over 5,000 marks to Liu Yanping at his disposal, and the subtext is that Liu Yanping can keep it for herself, or it can be replaced by Luo Xiangfei and other leaders, of course, if Hao Yawei, Ji Ming and others want to change some, Liu Yanping can also agree. All in all, this is a great thing that can not only obtain economic benefits, but also human favors, and it is a great gift from Feng Xiaochen to her.
"Xiao Feng, how is this appropriate? You better keep it and buy something for yourself...... Besides, there may be a shortage of foreign exchange in the hands of other comrades, so you don't have to ask them if they need it. Liu Yanping said hypocritically.
Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "If other comrades want to change, I'll let them find Director Liu." I really can't do this kind of coordination thing, so please ask Director Liu. ”
"Look at you Xiao Feng, why is this like this......" Liu Yanping smiled like a flower on her face, holding the 5,000 marks that Feng Xiaochen gave her, but she didn't let go.
The 5,000 marks were given to Feng Xiaochen by Feng Hua before leaving, and Feng Xiaochen accepted it happily without refusal. It is only natural for his uncle to give him pocket money, and he does not need to be under psychological pressure. In the future, he will use his aunt Feng Shuyi to help sell those technologies that can be patented, and the income he gets is calculated in millions of marks, just 5,000 marks, and he will collect it, and it will be a big deal to pay his aunt a commission in the future.
After getting the money, Feng Xiaochen immediately thought of what to do with this windfall. He took the money to buy all kinds of luxury goods, and everyone naturally didn't say anything, but in addition to envy, it was inevitable that there would be some sourness, which would be detrimental to his future stay in the Metallurgical Bureau. He knows that everyone is short of foreign exchange, but if he gives everyone some foreign exchange like candy, it will also seem ostentatious, and the leader will inevitably have ideas.
The best way is to give this ball to the leader to kick, the leader is willing to play with the ball himself, and he is willing to kick the ball to others, in short, the leader will feel that Feng Xiaochen is sensible, and colleagues can also get practical benefits from it, and remember the favor on his Feng Xiaochen's head.
The leaders in the delegation are Luo Xiangfei first, followed by Hu Zhijie, but these two people are not suitable to be setters, which is inconsistent with their leadership status. It is most appropriate to let Liu Yanping change hands. As the director of the office, she was originally responsible for distributing benefits to everyone, and I believe that she can distribute this bag of candy to everyone's satisfaction.
There is another big man in the delegation, who does not belong to the Metallurgical Bureau, and Liu Yanping can't take care of it, that is, Qiao Ziyuan, director of the Nanjiang Metallurgical Department. Feng Xiaochen will not ignore him, when Liu Yanping allocates the 5,000 marks, Feng Xiaochen will communicate with Qiao Ziyuan in private, give him a thousand 800 marks of foreign exchange, and form a good fate.
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Luo Xiangfei walked out of the hotel with his negotiation team, and a medium-sized bus was already waiting outside. Feng Xiaochen led Feng Shuyi to Luo Xiangfei and solemnly introduced her to Luo Xiangfei:
"Director Luo, this is my aunt, her Chinese name is Feng Shuyi, and she is a partner and practicing lawyer at the patent firm Ruthenburg in Bonn. ”
"Wow!"
Without waiting for Luo Xiangfei to say anything, Ji Ming and Yang Yongnian had already exclaimed, such a beautiful young German woman, tall, blonde hair, full of charm with a smile and a smile. He Lili and Liu Yanping are women, and they naturally look at people from different angles, what they see is Feng Shuyi's decent professional clothes, as well as hairstyles, earrings, and Xiaokun bags in her hands, everything looks so luxurious and radiant.
"Dear Director Luo, it is an honor to serve your delegation. ”
Feng Shuyi said politely to Luo Xiangfei that she was using Chinese, although it was a bit blunt, but it did not prevent Luo Xiangfei and others from understanding. She knew what those burning eyes around her meant, she deliberately dressed up today, the purpose was to "pull out" Feng Xiaochen, so that the "leaders" in the mouths of these nephews would not dare to underestimate him in the future.
"Thank you Mrs. Feng for your great help, and welcome Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng and her family to China for sightseeing. Luo Xiangfei said the official rhetoric, and he was also very satisfied with Feng Shuyi's attitude.
"Director Luo, I heard Xiaochen say yesterday that you hope to find a metallurgical equipment consulting company in Bonn to help you complete the design and procurement of a hot rolling mill. I have a client who does exactly that, and if you are interested, I would like to accompany you to visit this client to see if they can provide services to your group. Feng Shuyi continued.
Because the content of the speech was more complicated, Feng Shuyi's understanding of Chinese was not enough, so she had to change to German. He Lili stepped forward in time and translated for her. Feng Xiaochen stood aside, smiling but not speaking, at this time, it was better for him to show detachment.
Luo Xiangfei replied: "Thank you very much, we are indeed looking for a service provider now, if Mrs. Feng can help us with the introduction, we are very interested in visiting." ”
"That's great, please get in the car. Feng Shuyi pointed to the minibus behind him and invited everyone.
Luo Xiangfei nodded his thanks, and then boarded the minibus under the guidance of Feng Shuyi, and sat in the front row, Feng Shuyi sat on his side, and He Lili hurriedly sat on the other side, ready to provide them with a translator at any time.
The rest of the people also got on the bus one after another, and each found a seat to sit down. Feng Xiaochen naturally sat in the last row, and Liu Yanping, who had always sat next to Luo Xiangfei, also ran to the last row and sat with Feng Xiaochen.
"Xiao Feng, how will the money for this car rental be calculated at that time?" Liu Yanping asked Feng Xiaochen in a low voice.
"The money for renting a car?" Feng Xiaochen was stunned, is this also a matter? However, he immediately reacted, public affairs are public affairs, and it is unreasonable to let private individuals pay for public affairs. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask my aunt about this matter later." If the company she introduced can take over our business, can she also get some commission? ”
