Chapter 190: The Strange Yabao Road

Hong Tao didn't dare to go in to play, because it cost five dollars for a ticket to enter the door, and he was really reluctant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but he chatted with two foreigners who had drunk too much at the door and inquired about the situation inside. The price of those big white Russians starts at as low as 700 yuan, and the overnight charge is 1,002. If you are a newcomer, you will have to get at least more than 1,000 at a time, and you will have to start with 2,000 for a night.

From that day on, when Hong Tao covered for his uncle again, the price would increase, don't want to use dozens of yuan to fool yourself. You have the money to come here to play with foreign girls, so you don't have the money to give more to your nephew?

Moreover, Hong Tao also got a small piggy bank at home, saved more than 800 yuan for frugality, and planned to go to the big stupid elephant to find a fresh big white Russian to try when he saved enough 1,000 and 5. Who would have thought that the money hadn't been saved enough, so the little uncle and they would change careers, and they wouldn't be able to earn their hard work.

"Damn, I haven't been a shotgun for a few years, Seven Stars...... At this time, Hong Tao's car was parked across the street from the Big Dumb Elephant Restaurant, but unfortunately the original Big Dumb Elephant had disappeared and turned into a bar called Seven Star Island.

Now Hong Tao was a little dumbfounded, the former owner of the Big Stupid Elephant Restaurant was a big dealer who reversed foreign exchange, and he didn't need to go to another place to find a stranger to exchange it, just give it to him, and he would change it face to face, and no one knew anyone when he went out of the door.

I came with 3,000 dollars today, and I was going to find the boss of the big stupid elephant to find out the news. If the wind is tight, the exchange price he gives will be low, then he will endure it for another ten days and half a month. But now that even the Big Dumb Elephant Restaurant is gone, who will you go to!

The commercial street of Yabao Road is said to be a commercial street, but it is very different from any commercial street in other places, and you don't need to be particularly familiar with it. There are fewer businesses that open the door to welcome customers and smiles on their faces, and more are idlers who are three-three-two-two, and have sinister eyebrows.

There are many merchants here, one by one, but except for restaurants and kiosks, none of them are open to welcome customers, all of them are closed, and even use curtains to cover their windows and doors tightly, only hang a sign on the gate, which says "No Visit" in Chinese, and then write the words "Welcome to visit" in English and Russian.

The reason for this is very simple, the merchants here are engaged in foreign trade and do not want to receive domestic customers at all. The things they sell will not be bought by domestic people, not to mention the high price, everything is the largest size, like Hong Tao, who is considered a tall figure in China, you have to buy the clothes here to buy the S size, maybe you have to add two X, and the small size has to be thin to make do with it.

The reason why the store is covered so tightly is not that there is any illegal activity in it, but mainly to prevent peers from digging into the wall to steal business. Peers are enemies, who sells what, who receives guests, and how much the price is, all of which must be hidden from peers, just like casting a secret bid.

If there is still a street in New China that does not welcome Chinese to enter, it is estimated that it has to be said Yabao Road. The lingua franca here is not Chinese, as soon as you enter this street you are like in Moscow, Russian is everywhere, even the driver who pedals three wheels to pull goods, more or less must know a few words of Russian, otherwise those hairy people will not be able to bargain for you to pull things.

Russian is the first language on the street, then English, and apart from shopkeepers, translators, porters, only tourists and government workers speak Chinese. The merchants and customers of Yabao Road are not welcome to these two people, the former is here to cause trouble, and the latter is here to find trouble, both of which hinder them from making money.

But the words can't be said so absolutely, there is another kind of people who also use Chinese frequently, who is it? These idlers are not idle, their eyes are thieves, who seem to be here to exchange foreign currency, who seems to be going to give out foreign currency, they can see through their eyes. When they see the goal, they will go up and talk to you alone, which is called Liu Gong'er, and it is generally done by people who are honest and can speak well.

After negotiating the price with the person who is exchanging or sending foreign exchange, the two parties will find a secluded and safe place to start trading, and then it is time for the knife hand to come forward.

Don't be nervous, the knife hand here is not the master who slashes people with a knife to grab money, but a special technician among the foreign exchange dealers, and it is also the least welcome. What kind of skills do they have? It's like juggling. No matter how much money it is, if you ask him to count it and get it back, it will basically be about one-fifth less. The greater the number of hands, the greater the proportion of less money.

In the jargon of the foreign exchange dealer, this is called cutting! Since it is cut, the person who cuts must be holding a knife. Otherwise, they will use a pair of hands to distract you, fold the coins in a special way, drop the bag, etc. If you give him 1,000 dollars and exchange them at a ratio of 1:10, he will never cut your dollars, but will make a fuss about the renminbi you are given. Because of the large number of RMB, it is difficult to find.

Generally speaking, he orders 10,000 dollars for you to count first, and after the number is correct, his accomplice will say that there is a problem with your dollars and terminate the transaction. He returns the dollar to you, you return the yuan to him, and the two sides count it again in front of each other, and the number is correct and not false, and then find an excuse to continue the transaction, and the yuan and the dollar change hands again. At this time, ordinary people will not order the RMB again, a hundred pieces have to count for half a day, this thing itself is illegal, and no one wants to stay on the street longer.

But when you get home with this pile of money, you will find that there are 8,000 yuan left, and sometimes you don't know that you have been cut until you go to the bank counter to deposit money. But when you go to find someone else, they don't run away, they just say that they haven't seen you at all, do you dare to call the police? After calling the police, the two of you go in together and buy and sell foreign currency controlled by the state in private, and you will all be fined and detained.

This is still a small amount, and if you catch up with the large amount of exchange, sometimes the whole package of money will be dropped. You see money in the paper bag, but when you take it home, it's a newspaper note. Either it's to cut your dollars, and the most common method is called fried cats. It was during the transaction that both sides were busy counting it, when suddenly someone called for the police to come. The other party shoved your dollar into your hand, took his own yuan, and everyone fled in all directions. When you find that there are no police chasing you, count the dollars in your hand, and it will definitely be less.

It is said that the Chao Nayang Branch once caught a master of cutting the exchange, and took out a wad of money in the interrogation room of the branch to let him perform in person. As a result, four or five policemen looked at his two hands with good eyes, but after counting them twice, the money was still less, and the rest was held in the palm of his hand, and no one could see how he took it away.

Of course, not every transaction has this situation, and not every gang that reverses foreign exchange does this kind of thing, most of the people who reverse foreign exchange are still relatively down-to-earth, they just buy low and high to make a difference. When the amount of inflow and outflow is large, there is no need to make this kind of risky cattiness at all, and there will be a considerable income. Besides, this kind of magic trick is not something that everyone can practice.

But the problem is that you don't know who is the cutter and who's the reverse, and this thing is not engraved on the door of the head. Now Hong Tao is facing this problem, the big dealers with credit don't know him, and the hawkers on the street don't feel at ease.

They are all a group of several people, and they really have no problem with themselves, not because they are afraid that they will not be able to beat them, but because their dollars cannot be exposed, once they go to the police station, they can't tell where the money came from, and it is more troublesome.

The most troublesome thing is that he can't ask his uncle for help yet, he must know people in this area, but he can't say a word to him. This must be done by oneself, and must not be known to a second person. Isn't there such a famous saying, it is not a secret if there is a second person who knows, this sentence Hong Tao agrees very much!

After smoking several cigarettes in the car, Hong Tao made a decision, the dollar must be exchanged, but he can't just risk being cut to change it, and he has to plan carefully, and he will make a game for the dealers who pour the foreign exchange alone, and see if he has learned the skills of his uncle. However, in between the games, you have to figure out the market of the dollar first, and this thing is simple, just find a few dealers on the street and ask.
