When Qin Hai and Chen Hongcheng returned to the hotel, they found that everyone in the delegation had already left, and it was not until dinner time that they came back one by one exhausted and enthusiastic, exchanging shopping experiences while walking. Chen Hongcheng took the excuse to go around a few rooms, then returned to the room he shared with Qin Hai, closed the door and whispered to Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”

Qin Hai was looking through a phone number book that he had just borrowed from the service desk, trying to determine where to visit next. Hearing Chen Hongcheng's words, he asked with a smile, "What's the matter, so mysterious?" ”

Chen Hongcheng said: "Xiao Qin, can we lend a little bit of the foreign exchange we have earned to Director Zhu and several other directors, if we want to do foreign trade in the future, these people can use it." ”

"Borrow money?" Qin Hai was a little strange, "What's the matter, did you tell them about the foreign exchange we earned?" ”

"No, no, how can you say that?" Chen Hongcheng hurriedly denied it, he didn't want to leave Qin Hai with the impression that he was not strict, and this was the most taboo thing for people who do business. He explained: "I didn't say that we had foreign exchange in our hands, but when I went to chat with them just now, they were all muttering that they didn't have enough foreign exchange in their hands and couldn't buy what they wanted to buy." ”

Chinese traveling abroad on business cannot use RMB to pay, they must use foreign exchange. The state stipulates that each cadre on a business trip can have a few dollars of foreign exchange as pocket money every day, and this figure is fixed and cannot be changed. All the people who go abroad are reluctant to use these foreign currencies casually, and they often accumulate them in order to buy a foreign electrical appliance and bring it back to their home countries.

Some cadres who have access to the road can exchange some surplus foreign exchange through certain channels. When you go abroad, you will have more money on hand and be able to buy some small gifts to give back to others. But most people don't have such a way to get foreign exchange, unless they go to the black market and exchange it at a ratio of 10 to 1, as Chen Hongcheng did. Who is not a businessman, who is willing to exchange for this kind of black market foreign exchange?

Just now, the delegation was led by Huang Liwei. I went around the surrounding commercial street and saw countless dazzling exotic goods, and my eyes were dazzled. It is embarrassing to say that the most common plastic cup and a ballpoint pen in foreign stores are all beautiful things in the eyes of Chinese. The price of these things is not expensive, but it is equivalent to tens or one or two hundred pesetas, but everyone in the delegation is only envious, and no one is willing to buy them with valuable foreign exchange indicators.

When Chen Hongcheng went to Zhu Xiaofeng's room and several other directors to chat, he listened to them talk about how exquisite a certain product was with regret. How do I want to buy one for my wife, children, grandchildren, etc., but I can't get foreign exchange, I can't help but feel moved. He thought of the best way to get in touch with the officials, and that was to lend them foreign currency.

These officials are not bad for money, and it is not difficult to come up with a few hundred or even thousands of yuan. All they lack is foreign exchange. If Chen Hongcheng lends them foreign currency now and asks them to return the renminbi at the exchange rate after returning to China, then it is not a bribe, and the officials will definitely remember Chen Hongcheng's benefits. In the future, it will be convenient for him in various matters.

Thinking of this, he eagerly ran back to discuss with Qin Hai. After all, this money was earned by Qin Hai, and if Qin Hai didn't nod, he couldn't control it.

After listening to Chen Hongcheng's explanation, Qin Hai was about to laugh. He felt that he was too right to choose Chen Hongcheng as his partner. This man is good at speculative drilling. There are no psychological obstacles to things like dry shaving and slapping horses, and they just happen to be able to complement Qin Hai in terms of ability. Qin Hai himself also had a few people on hand, such as Heizi, Ning Mo and the like, but they were still young and inexperienced. Where can compare to Chen Hongcheng's sophistication. If Qin Hai wants to do something, it is really impossible to do without a partner like Chen Hongcheng.

"Lao Chen, you are really too sensitive, this idea is very good." Qin Hai praised, "Our foreign exchange is in your hands, how do you think you should use it, just use it, who should be lent to, how much to lend, you decide, you don't have to discuss with me." ”

When Chen Hongcheng heard Qin Hai agree, he suddenly came to his senses, and he said:

"Well, this kind of thing must be discussed. Xiao Qin, my thoughts are like this, I wish the director that we can lend him 50,000 pesetas, which is almost 1,000 US dollars; How many directors are there, 10,000 to 20,000 each, depending on who is more useful; There are some other people, when we break the money tomorrow, one person can borrow one or two thousand pesetas.

In this way, if we lend 100,000 to 150,000 pesetas, we will be able to make the people in the group have a good impression of us, and when we return to China, it will be easy to find them to do things. ”

"Let me think about it...... Qin Hai thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter to us to lend out hundreds of thousands of pesetas." However, if people ask where our foreign exchange comes from, how are you going to explain it? ”

"Isn't that easy?" Chen Hongcheng glared and said, "I just said that our Red Sea Company has partners in Europe, and this is for our partners." Don't worry, people won't care about this, the less they know, the less risky it is, and the fool will get to the bottom of it. ”

"Well, well, since you're sure, go ahead and do it." Qin Hai nodded.

That night, Chen Hongcheng kept going in and out of various rooms. Every once in a while, Qin Hai could hear someone laughing and sending Chen Hongcheng out of his room, and everyone said some secretive greetings to each other, and the cordiality in the tone could be felt even through the door panel Qin Hai.

The next morning, when eating the buffet breakfast in the restaurant, Qin Hai saw the connections that Chen Hongcheng had cultivated overnight, and almost all the people in the delegation warmly beckoned Chen Hongcheng to share a table with them.

"Have you checked the route?"

Qin Hai was watching Chen Hongcheng's performance with a smile, when he suddenly heard someone at the same table asking. He turned his head to look, only to find that not all of them were paying attention to Chen Hongcheng, and the four people in front of him were obviously thinking about their own affairs.

Qin Hai recognized them as the ones sent by Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant to purchase steelmaking equipment, including Jiang Huanwen, the director of the factory, Yao Guojie, the chief of the financial section, Zhu Shouhe, the chief of the technical department, and Xiao Mengqin, the technical technician, who was a female college student who had just graduated, and the main reason for bringing her out was that her English level was the best in the whole factory.

Yesterday, Chen Hongcheng went to everyone's room to talk about lending foreign exchange, but he didn't go to these people. In Chen Hongcheng's eyes, they are just people in the company, and they have no use value.

Just now, Xiao Mengqin was holding a map of Madrid in Spanish and English, studying what route. Her eyebrows furrowed into a pimple, and she looked embarrassed.

The person who asked her was Jiang Huanwen, the director of the factory, this is a sturdy man in his forties, on the way from China, Qin Hai had a brief chat with him, and he knew that he was born in technology, and he also became the director of the factory by virtue of the spring breeze of the knowledge and youth of the cadre team, and his experience is somewhat similar to Wei Baolin of Qingfeng Factory. However, he is a little more down-to-earth than Wei Baolin, and he has put a lot of thought into the introduction of steelmaking equipment.

"Xiao Xiao, where are you going?" Qin Hai asked casually. Everyone is in the same group, and they can be regarded as acquaintances, seeing Xiao Mengqin's difficult appearance, Qin Hai felt that he should help her.

Xiao Mengqin raised her eyes and looked at Qin Hai, and said lightly: "Oh, we are going to check a company that we are going to visit today." ”

"Which company? Maybe I've heard of it. Qin Hai said again.

Xiao Mengqin snorted lightly and said, "OMT, have you heard of it?" ”

"Oso Metallurgical Technology Company...... I think it's on Ellinton Street, and there's a subway in front of it, so it's easier for you to take the subway. Qin Hai said calmly.

"You...... How do you know the Tao? Xiao Mengqin stared at Qin Hai in surprise, her mouth wide open.

Xiao Mengqin knew that Qin Hai and Chen Hongcheng were in the same group, and they both belonged to a trading company that was not in tune, and they came to Europe to open foreign meat with the oil of their delegation.

Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant originally wanted to arrange seven or eight technical personnel to negotiate this introduction project, but was told by the higher authorities that the funds were tight and the quota had to be reduced. However, his technical personnel were compressed, and a large number of officials in the regiment who had nothing to do with the introduction of the project appeared, which made Xiao Mengqin, who lacked social experience, feel furious.

For the officials of the Foreign Trade Department, the Provincial General Office, the Metallurgical Department and other departments, Xiao Mengqin has no chance to despise her, and people don't take her as a small technician in their eyes at all. Chen Hongcheng and Qin Hai, as two businessmen with little power, became the targets of Xiao Mengqin's dissatisfaction.

When Qin Hai greeted her just now, she didn't say anything ugly in line with the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person. But when Qin Hai further asked her which company she was looking for, she sneered in her heart. What she deliberately said was the abbreviation of the company, that is, with the intention of slapping Qin Hai in the face: Aren't you just a bad man who is good at pulling relationships and going through the back door, do you know what OMT?

What Xiao Mengqin never expected was that when Qin Hai heard the abbreviation of OMT, he directly reported its full name, which is the so-called Aoso Metallurgical Technology Company. Not only that, but he was able to directly say the location of this company without looking at the map, and even knew that there was a subway in front of the company. To know Lu Dao, Xiao Mengqin knew in advance the street where Lu Dao OMT is located, and just now it took a long time to check the map before finding out that it could be reached by subway. How did this young man in front of him know so many things? (To be continued......)
