Chapter 76: Going to Shenzhen?

"Oh! Eat! Hehe......" Zhou Jianhua opened his eyes, sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, and replied with a wry smile.

Zhou Jianhua sat up straight, looked at the crispy duck half-curled up in the exquisite porcelain plate, and the burst of aroma came to his nose, which really tempted his appetite.

Zhou Jianhua and Wang Xiaozhen worked together to divide a whole crispy duck into small pieces with chopsticks, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, each sandwiched a piece of duck meat, dipped it in the tomato sauce in the small plate next to it, and ate it happily.

This crispy duck skin crispy meat crispy, soft and refreshing, crispy but not oily, really full of color and flavor.

Zhou Jianhua was eating in his mouth, but he was still thinking about buying electrical components in his mind.

How can I get foreign exchange? Go to the black market for a change? In this year, the cost of exchanging dollars on the black market will be more than twice as much, so the cost of raw materials for the production of base station communication systems will increase significantly, and the project will not make much money.

What's worse is that even if you get U.S. dollars, you can't hand over the U.S. dollars in cash from the black market to "Jiangdian Trade" to purchase components for yourself - according to the current national policy, individuals are not allowed to hold a large amount of foreign exchange, let alone take U.S. dollars in cash as a self-employed person to trade with state-owned foreign trade companies, and you may not dare to accept U.S. dollars!

Thinking of this, Zhou Jianhua couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! Even if you have foreign exchange, you can't give it to Jiangdian Trade......"

"What do you say? Do you have Forex? Wang Xiaozhen asked inexplicably.

"Hehe, I mean, even if I get the dollars, your company is unlikely to accept my dollars to help me purchase components." Zhou Jianhua explained:

"It's unlikely that your company will be able to put a self-employed person's dollar cash into the company's procurement funds to help me import components, right? This may contradict the country's foreign exchange management regulations, and it may not be feasible in terms of financial procedures. I don't know much about the policy in this area. ”

"Oh...... Then I'll go back and ask for you. Wang Xiaozhen replied enthusiastically. Whenever there is a chance, Wang Xiaozhen is very willing to help this talented and generous little brother.

"Who are you going to ask?" Zhou Jianhua asked in surprise.

"Uh...... I know one of the leaders of our provincial foreign trade department. He should be very knowledgeable about this policy, if you can have enough dollar cash. I'll go and ask you another day to see if that's possible. Wang Xiaozhen hesitated for a moment and changed her words.

"Oh......" Zhou Jianhua looked at Wang Xiaozhen suspiciously, and vaguely felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have something incomprehensible.

The phone call when she left the "Jiangdian Trade" store before, and Wang Xiaozhen easily accepted her invitation for ten yuan, it seems that she usually didn't take it too seriously, and Wang Xiaozhen's introduction to Jiangnan Hotel when chatting just now seems to know the situation of Jiangnan Hotel very well, just like a frequent visitor here, it is not as simple as she said that she only came here to eat twice. Now he changed the words he had said inadvertently in such a flickering manner.

The information revealed by Wang Xiaozhen's words and deeds made Zhou Jianhua feel that Wang Xiaozhen was not like an ordinary girl working in a foreign trade company, and Wang Xiaozhen seemed to be deliberately hiding something in front of her.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't eat it while it's hot, it's such a cold day, it won't taste good when it's cold for a while!"

Wang Xiaozhen saw Zhou Jianhua's eyes looking at her, as if she wanted to see herself through, so she hurriedly sandwiched two pieces of duck meat into Zhou Jianhua's bowl to distract Zhou Jianhua's attention.

"Sister Wang, the leader of the provincial foreign trade department you mentioned...... Are you all familiar with each other? Zhou Jianhua was curious. He asked carefully.

"It's okay...... Wang Xiaozhen replied briefly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help revealing a smile, and she said that you kid is quite sensitive, but he won't tell you!

Zhou Jianhua saw that Wang Xiaozhen didn't want to say more. It's not good to gossip too much, so I don't ask anymore, bow my head and continue to eat.

Zhou Jianhua thought to himself. Although Wang Jianzhen is more enthusiastic, he does not seem to know much about the details of the company's operations. Although I don't know much about the situation in this era, experience tells me. It is not feasible to hand over the US dollar bills exchanged for the black market to the "Jiangdian Trade" to import components. I really can't do it, so I have to go to Shenzhen.

In his previous life, Zhou Jianhua had read a book written by a well-known financial reporter about the course of China's reform and opening up, and now I still remember that it was written in the early 80s, in the first few years of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, Shenzhen completely failed to achieve the development goals of introducing foreign capital and advanced technology, focusing on industrial production, and exporting products. Relying on foreign exchange funds obtained in the gray way, a large amount of consumer goods and office equipment were imported.

According to the book, at that time, there were many officials in Shenzhen who came from the north and had official backgrounds, and they held a large amount of "foreign exchange retention" obtained from large state-owned foreign trade companies, and transferred them to those companies in Shenzhen that needed foreign exchange to import consumer goods and office equipment at a price slightly lower than the market exchange rate. According to the national policy at that time, the products imported by these companies were for the needs of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and could not be sold to the mainland, but many people with government backgrounds in the mainland were able to smoothly purchase these consumer goods and office equipment in Shenzhen, and transport these goods out of customs and sell them to the mainland.

Zhou Jianhua thought to himself, it really didn't work, so he had to go to Shenzhen to find those companies to solve it. But this way is also very troublesome, at this time the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is not who wants to go in can enter, the customs entry procedures are much more troublesome than later generations, in addition, but also to be able to buy components from Shenzhen to bring out, this mode of operation is more gray, has been close to smuggling. Although the components imported by themselves are used by the public security department, it is not impossible to ask the public security department to issue a certificate to assist them in taking the components out of Shenzhen, but it is very troublesome to toss it in this way.

"It's another big wrong!" Wang Xiaozhen suddenly smiled and whispered.

Zhou Jianhua's thoughts were interrupted by Wang Xiaozhen, so he raised his head and turned his head to look at Wang Xiaozhen's eyes, and sure enough, a Caucasian man in his thirties in a suit also walked towards the long table. When they passed by Zhou Jianhua's table, they smiled and nodded to Zhou Jianhua and Wang Xiaozhen, and sat down at a long table next to them.

"Huh. Sister Wang, it's not good for you to be like this! I'll treat you to dinner at such a great price. Don't say a few nice words, wronged, wronged, how can you make me embarrassed......" Zhou Jianhua pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Isn't that what you said, I'm just following you." Wang Xiaozhen pleaded slyly.

"I said it myself, is it good to be humble...... You also say the same about me, don't I really want to die unjustly......" Zhou Jianhua replied pretending to be depressed.

"I don't care! I'm following you anyway! Wang Xiaozhen replied savagely, shaking her head proudly from side to side as she spoke, her ponytail swaying at the back of her head, and she looked cute like a little sister.

Zhou Jianhua looked at Wang Xiaozhen's delicate appearance. It's also pleasing to the eye, but the full and convex breasts hanging above the table are also swaying back and forth with the swing of her little head, which inevitably makes people reverie.

“Oh! MyGod! ”

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the side, interrupting Zhou Jianhua's infinite reverie.

Zhou Jianhua and Wang Xiaozhen turned their heads to look at the white man just now, who was holding the menu that the waiter had just handed him, and asked the waiter loudly in English with a surprised face:

"You even eat lion meat?! Doesn't China protect endangered animals? ”

The waitress on the side couldn't understand English, and she was looking at the man in a daze. In the past, there were times when foreign customers came here. She gave the menu to the other party, and after the other party chose it, he only needed to point out to her which dish it was, but now the foreigner pointed to the dish and muttered a lot, as if he was asking something. Didn't mean to order that dish.

Zhou Jianhua was also curious, why had he never heard of Chinese dishes made with lion meat, so he picked up the menu on his table and looked at the location where the foreigner pointed his finger. I saw the name of the dish "braised lion's head". Zhou Jianhua immediately guessed what the situation was in his heart, and couldn't help but smile. So he got up and walked over.

"Hello sir!" Zhou Jianhua walked up to the foreign man's side and said in English:

"Do you have any questions? I'll help you translate. ”

"Oh! Do you know English? That's great! The foreign man turned his head to look at Zhou Jianhua and said happily:

"Look at this menu – this dish is actually made with lion meat! Doesn't China have an animal protection law? Don't you need to protect endangered animals? ”

"Uh...... As far as I know, there should be no official animal protection law in our country at present. But the regulations on wildlife protection have been in place for a long time," Zhou explained......

"Especially for endangered and rare animals, our country has always had corresponding protection measures, as for the lions you mentioned - there are no wild lions in China, and we in China will not use lion meat to cook dishes."

"But look here!" The foreign man pointed to the menu and said:

It reads, "Meat made from a lion's head." ”

Zhou Jianhua looked down, and sure enough, next to the name of each dish in this mimeographed menu, a line of blue English phrases was added by pen handwriting as the English name of the dish, and where the name of the dish "braised lion's head" was printed, a phrase "BouillonofLionHead" was added, which literally translates into Chinese as "gravy made from the lion's head".

Zhou Jianhua couldn't help but laugh dumbly:

"The name of this dish is not very well translated, so you may be misunderstood, but in fact this dish is made with pork. The Chinese meaning of the name of this dish is that the large meatballs are made because of their rough appearance, like the head of a male lion. ”

"Oh! So that's it! The foreign man also laughed dumbly:

"It seems that I still don't know much about your Chinese culture, Xie Lu, thank you for telling me this. My name is Cliff and it's a pleasure to meet you, what do you call you? ”

"My name is Zhou Jianhua, and I welcome you to China! Happy travels in China! See you soon! Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile, and was about to turn around to leave, but was stopped by Cliff:

"Oh! Mr. Zhou, please stay! (To be continued......)
