Chapter 721: Shop Turmoil
The shopkeeper took out a thousand-dollar bill, swallowed his saliva, and said tentatively: "This is really not fake. Money? ”
"Of course not!" Li Xia hurriedly argued: "How can we use fakes. Money, if you don't believe it, you will know it when you go to the bank. ”
The young policeman chimed in: "It shouldn't be fake. I just looked at Mr. Wang's certificate, he is a Hong Kong businessman, so it makes sense, Hong Kong businessmen have Hong Kong dollars as a matter of course. ”
Seeing that his companions exonerated Wang Zichuan and Li Xia, the elderly policeman shook his head secretly, and lost his extra money, and reminded intentionally or unintentionally: "Now the exchange rate between RMB and Hong Kong dollars is 1 to 2.5, and the 1,000 Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged for 400 yuan, and you can exchange it at the bank." ”
The shopkeeper said slyly, "I'll go and change it!" ”
Wang Zichuan frowned and interrupted: "Don't bother you, I have a lot of RMB here." ”
The exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi was unstable, with the Hong Kong dollar initially pegged to the British pound, the U.S. dollar in 1972, and a steady HK$4.6 to US$1 from 1974 to 1983.
In the past ten years, Hong Kong's economic development has been rapid, gradually becoming the economic center of Asia, Hong Kong's economic status has risen, close to London, New York and other world financial centers, so the Hong Kong dollar has strengthened.
1983 is the beginning of the current Hong Kong dollar fixed linked to the US dollar fixed exchange rate, Margaret Thatcher's visit to China, the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate fell sharply, the lowest time was 11 yuan Hong Kong dollar to huàn 1 US dollar, on October 17, the Hong Kong government announced that the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate and the US dollar fixed peg to 7.80 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar, the exchange rate has been stable dìng at this level, when Wang Zichuan first came to Hong Kong, it was a period of drastic changes in the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, Golden Harvest filmed a "Plan A", overseas box office earned hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, Japan alone earned more than 60 million yuan in rationing, breaking the record for the profit of films outside Hong Kong since the opening of the port. The depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar is an important reason.
The Hong Kong dollar is fixed to the US dollar, forming a kind of cascade, and when the renminbi rises or falls against the US dollar, the Hong Kong dollar changes against the renminbi.
In 1984, 1 Hong Kong dollar could be exchanged for 2 jiao 9 cents according to the exchange rate. The average market price is 4 jiao, the ratio of RMB to Hong Kong dollar to huàn is 1 to 3.3, and the ratio of black market to huàn is 1 to 2.5, and the price of Hong Kong dollar in black market is higher than the official price.
In 1986, 1 Hong Kong dollar could be exchanged for about 4 jiao according to the official exchange rate. And black. The average market price is 8 jiao, the ratio of RMB to Hong Kong dollar to huàn is 1 to 2.5, and the ratio of black market to huàn is 1 to 1.25, and the price of Hong Kong dollar in the black market still exceeds the official price.
The shopkeeper wanted to make the difference, 1,000 Hong Kong dollars in black. The city can be exchanged for about 800 yuan, and he only takes out 400 yuan to swallow the remaining half, this kind of little trick, Wang Zichuan, Li Xia and the two policemen can see it at a glance. The shopkeeper offended the girl and wanted to take advantage, how could there be such a good thing.
As a billionaire, Wang Zichuan has a lot of Hong Kong dollars in his hand, and there are many ways to exchange Hong Kong dollars for huàn yuan. For example, when you buy goods in Hong Kong and sell them in the mainland, you spend Hong Kong dollars and earn renminbi. Do not save zài black. The market exploits this link, and the RMB in hand is more.
A few months ago, Wang Zichuan slowly hoarded yen and dollars. It adds up to 3 billion US dollars, but Wang Zichuan did not convert this US dollar into RMB, because the current exchange rate changes too much, and if you are not careful, you will lose money, and the speed of making money in the mainland is not enough to make up for the exchange rate difference.
If he remembered correctly, two years later, the renminbi was forcibly depreciated, and 1 yuan of Hong Kong dollars could be exchanged for about 6 jiao of huàn yuan at the official exchange rate. The market price is about 1 yuan, basically maintaining one to one, after the return, 1 yuan of Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged for huàn yuan 1.06 yuan, and the 100 yuan Hong Kong dollars on the black market can be sold for 140 yuan, and even as high as 160 yuan.
Exchange rate changes are related to policies, since he intends to invest in the mainland, Wang Zichuan is the most sensitive to the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi, meditating, recalling a lot of information, five years later, The exchange rate is 1 US dollar to 5.72 yuan, but in the foreign exchange adjustment market that liberalizes the exchange rate, the adjustment price once reached 1 US dollar to 11 yuan, linked to the US dollar of the Hong Kong dollar, which has been rising, and the ratio once exceeded the renminbi, and after the return of Hong Kong, 1 Hong Kong dollar can be exchanged for huàn yuan 1.06 yuan according to the official exchange rate, and has maintained this level for 8 years since then.
The change of the foreign exchange system has quietly changed the relationship between the RMB and the Hong Kong dollar, the earliest record of the RMB Hong Kong dollar exchange rate was September 1, 1994, the median price was 110, under the strengthening of macroeconomic control by the state and the intervention of the People's Bank of China, the foreign exchange adjustment price returned to 1 US dollar to huàn 8.72 yuan, and in 94, the RMB exchange rate was merged, and the official exchange rate of the RMB against the US dollar depreciated from 1:5.8 to 1:8.67.
The shopkeeper took the renminbi painfully, returned the Hong Kong dollar in his hand, and regretted not falling, why did he call the police over, if there was no police present, he could also summon the village gangsters and coerce them, Hong Kong businessmen were scruples about their identity, and it was easy to compromise, and then a large amount of profits would roll in, which would be more profitable than opening a store.
Wang Zichuan took out a hundred-yuan bill, and the onlookers looked sideways, and the elderly people warned him, and said: "Take it to me and see, I can't understand foreign money, our own money, I am clear, and I know if it's true or false when I touch it in my hand." ”
The shopkeeper hesitated: "I can't find such a big amount of money here, the little girl just now only bought a dime, I have to find 99 yuan and 9 dimes, and I only have a total of 20 yuan here." ”
Nan Nan blinked and asked in a playful voice, "How much is your store worth?" ”
The shopkeeper thought that Nan Nan was curious, and said humbly: "You can start it for 300 yuan, plus the money for building and decorating the house, it is less than 600 yuan." ”
Nan Nan immediately hugged Wang Zichuan's waist and said coquettishly: "Big brother, I want to open a store to play!" ”
Li Xia reprimanded: "Do you know how to open a store, this is not a family wine." ”
Wang Zichuan also disagreed with what he did, and persuaded: "You will go back to Hong Kong in a few days, do you still move the store to Hong Kong?" ”
Nan Nan muttered: "Then I can't leave it to Erya, you don't give it, I'll buy it myself, I have a lot of money!" ”
Erya hurriedly excused herself and said, "Sister Nannan, I don't know how to open a store." ”
Seeing that the matter was resolved, the elderly policeman said to the onlookers: "It's okay, everyone disperses." ”
"I have five hundred dollars here, can you sell them in your store?" Li Xia changed her mind again for some reason. He pulled out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and counted out five.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and he didn't want to open a small shop in the village, and if he was engaged in construction in the district, he would have a lot of opportunities to make a fortune, and many people in the same village had made a fortune in the district, buying houses and cars.
"Sell! Of course sell! ”
Wang Zichuan smiled bitterly: "You, you are too good-hearted, the most important thing to make money is your heart, you give them the store." It doesn't necessarily make money. ”
Li Xian said: "Third uncle, if they don't go to Hong Kong, it's not bad to stay here to do business." ”
Nan Nan clapped her hands and smiled: "I want to open a store...... Haha, I'm the boss now. ”
"Don't mess around!" After Li Xia paid the money, she said to Erya: "You go back and call the adults in the family." ”
Erya said ignorantly: "Can I drink ice water and go back?" ”
Nan Nan dragged the second girl and said with a smile: "Follow me!" Eat whatever you want! ”
The shopkeeper got the money and said with a smile: "You are relatives of the pillar family, hehe...... I didn't expect Hanhan's pillar to have today, and this hard time has come to an end. ”
Li Xia said: "Do you want to transfer the real estate certificate and business license?" ”
The shopkeeper sneered: "This is just a small shop, how can we have these documents as you mentioned." If you go to the district to get through the relationship, you can get these documents, but it costs money. ”
Li Xia said: "Then can you help us get the documents done, and I'll pay the money." ”
Wang Zichuan saw the shopkeeper's eyes gurgling. I don't know what bad intentions I have, I must be deceived when I talk about business with this kind of person, and said lightly: "The matter of documents." We figure it out ourselves. ”
Li Xia hesitated: "But ......"
Wang Zichuan said: "Don't you have a relative of Dahei, pay a fine and ransom him." I don't think that's going to bother him. ”
The shopkeeper immediately dispelled his negative thoughts, Da Hei really couldn't afford to offend, and eight of the ten gangsters in the village followed Da Hei, turning their faces as if they were flipping through a book.
"What are you going to buy?"
When Wang Zichuan and Li Xia were discussing who would take over the store, Nan Nan finally met the first customer, a thin young man in his twenties, with an evil aura all over his body.
"Give me a pack of cigarettes."
"Smoke? The smoke is here! Nan Nan searched around the sales shelves, and found under the shelves, the cigarettes were arranged in two rows, and she took a box at random.
The young man hurriedly reminded: "I want the Baisha card." ”
Nan Nan's eyes widened, and she said in her heart, the words on it were different from the ones she knew, as if her mother had taught such words.
"This ...... Isn't that white? ”
The young man sneered: "Red shell, where did Lao Liu go?" I also let the two little girls watch the store, and they are not afraid of being robbed! ”
Erya drank ice water while taking out a box of white sand and reminded: "Sister Nannan, Baisha is this, Uncle Da Hei will smoke this." ”
"Big ...... Big Black Brother? How much? The young man was shocked, and looked at Erya, who was indeed Da Hei's niece, and dispelled the idea of taking a cigarette and running away, if Da Hei knew, he would have to vomit it out.
Nan Nan tilted her head and thought about it, and said tentatively: "100 yuan!" ”
"Multi-...... How much? The young man was dumbfounded, and hurriedly looked around, thinking in his heart that this was a trap of the great black.
Nan Nan said carefully: "That's cheaper, it's 50 yuan!" ”
"I, I'm not buying." The young man put the cigarette back and ran away.
"It could be cheaper!" Nan Nan shouted at the young man's back, very depressed, the first business was yellow, and opening a store was really different from running a family wine.
Wang Zichuan was startled when he saw Nannan, and asked, "What happened just now?" ”
Nan Nan said embarrassedly: "Nothing, that person is not here to buy things." ”
Zhuzi's family appeared at the intersection, Erya was still in the store, it seemed that the people from the same village called them over, Li Xia said to the girl in the window: "Don't come out soon." ”
Nan Nan reluctantly said, "I still want to play for a while." ”
"Obedient, we still have to go to the hotel." Wang Zichuan didn't want to deal with Aunt Li's family, so he pulled Nannan to the side to talk.
Nan Nan looked at Erya and said entangledly: "Big brother, are we coming back?" ”
Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "Let my mother accompany you these days and play here for a few more days." ”
"Big brother is leaving?" After being happy, Nan Nan asked with a bitter face.
Wang Zichuan said: "Mom asked you for a week off, go back to school with peace of mind, don't make trouble." ”
Nan Nan was embarrassed and said: "No matter how much trouble people make, Teacher Xiao He praises me for studying well." ”
Erya said disappointedly: "Sister Nannan, are you leaving?" ”
Nan Nan said: "Erya, I want to go back, my mother said, there is no home for us here." ”
Er Ya said: "What should I do if the tiger head and the second dog bully me again?" ”
"I'm going to beat them up!" Nan Nan's face was red, and she raised two pink fists.
……
In the evening, Wang Zichuan, Li Xia, Nan Nan three people have lived in the International Trade Building, located in the Luohu Commercial Center, after packing up the room, Wang Zichuan took Nan Nan to visit the International Trade Building, this building covers an area of 20,000 square meters, construction area of 100,000 square meters, is the earliest comprehensive super high-rise building built in China, known as the "tallest building in China", 50 floors of the building in Hong Kong is rare.
