Chapter 105: The Beauty's Little Follower
The Great Wall Hotel is very laid-back, comfortable and warm, the hotel provides free snacks, coffee and tea 24 hours a day, you only need to have a waiter to your door immediately, the VIP lounge provides free breakfast in the morning, and free cocktails, drinks and snacks in the evening. The swimming pool, sauna, and gymnasium are open to distinguished guests for free, while the Yuntai restaurant on the top floor provides Sichuan cuisine famous in Beijing, and the Hongyun Building on the second floor operates Chaozhou cuisine, as well as Italian cuisine and French classic Western food, etc., so that Zuojiang and the three of them can eat all over the place, and live more freely than the gods.
The hotel provides car rental services for guests, the new Santana sedan with a driver is 88 US dollars per day, Zuo Jiang did not hesitate to charter 7 days, and he can't let the two beauties squeeze the bus every day when he comes to Beijing. In the first few days, Tao Fei accompanied Bai Xiaoyi to run the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to do business, Zuo Jiang visited the Great Wall Hotel when he had nothing to do, mainly to inspect the hotel and layout, and business characteristics, the hotel is managed by the Sheraton Company of the United States, the architectural characteristics are very American, and there are similarities with the Wilson Hotel in Jersey City.
Taking advantage of the absence of Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi, Zuo Jiang went to the representative office of Citibank in Beijing, where he proposed 20,000 US dollars in cash, 15,000 US dollars in exchange for foreign exchange coupons, and 5,000 US dollars in exchange for RMB.
On the third day, what Bai Xiaoyi wanted to do was finally done. Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi began to go shopping frantically, saying that it was crazy shopping, but in fact Tao Fei was crazy, although Bai Xiaoyi was a well-known host, but his salary was not much, and his income outside the salary was not much, not as rich as Tao Fei. Zuo Jiang has become their veritable little follower, only Wangfujing Commercial Street has been shopping for more than two days, and Zuo Jiang follows them every day. Although he faced a first-class beauty on the ground, he was bitter in his heart, and he slipped straight for the past two days!
What made Zuo Jiang even more unhappy was that whenever he was ready to pay for them, he asked Tao Fei to block him back, and he didn't have a chance to express his heart, Tao Fei not only bought several sets of clothes for Bai Xiaoyi. I bought a bunch of clothes and shoes for Zuo Jiang. And in the past two days, Zuo Jiang has not seen anything suitable for Bai Xiaoyi, and the plan to buy her gifts can only be postponed again and again.
On the morning of the fifth day, they finally walked around Wangfujing Commercial Street, and while they came to rest, Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi studied where to go next. Zuo Jiang interjected: "Sister, Sister Xiaoyi, let's go to the overseas Chinese store in Beijing to have a look, there are a lot of good things in the overseas Chinese store in Beijing, and there are many things that can't be seen on the market, so it's not bad if you don't buy it!" ”
As soon as they heard that there were good things there, Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi decided to go right away. The things Ma bought were put in the trunk of the car and asked the driver to take them to the overseas Chinese store in Beijing. Although more than half of the overseas Chinese stores are for returned overseas Chinese, and a small half are for ordinary people in China, most of the goods in them are purchased with foreign exchange coupons, and there are not many goods that can be bought in RMB. But it's still overcrowded.
Although the foreign exchange voucher and the renminbi are equivalent. However, it is a surging commodity, and foreign exchange coupons of one yuan on the black market can be sold for one yuan and five jiao to two yuan. However, it is much cheaper to buy goods with foreign exchange coupons in overseas Chinese stores than in the market, and many of the foreign goods purchased with foreign exchange coupons are restricted in the market, even if you have money, you can't buy them.
There are many varieties of foreign goods in the overseas Chinese stores in Beijing, ranging from refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, to daily necessities, needles, threads, tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea. Tao Fei did not have many foreign exchange coupons in his hand, only more than 500 yuan, or asked a friend to change it before coming to Beijing, and it didn't take long to spend it when he came in, and then he bought some goods that could be purchased with RMB.
Zuo Jiang wanted to take out the foreign exchange rolls in his backpack several times, but he felt that it was a little too abrupt, Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi definitely couldn't accept it for a while, and secretly thought that they would find an opportunity to take it out again, so they followed them and continued to shop. At this time, I came to the clothing counter on the third floor, the seasonal clothing is mainly winter clothes, all kinds of cotton coats, fur coats, tweed coats, down jackets, walked forward for a distance and turned a corner, Zuo Jiang suddenly appeared here is a fur coat counter, and there are more than a dozen kinds of mink coats alone.
Seeing beautiful clothes, women can't move, and so do beautiful women, when Bai Xiaoyi saw those exquisite mink coats, he stopped and admired them very enviously. Although some of the mink coats here have an average texture, there are also many high-quality ones, Bai Xiaoyi now has a mink coat that is similar to the one worn by Tao Fei, and he pulled it over Tao Fei and the one on the shelf, in contrast, although it feels like it is almost the same as Tao Fei's body, but it is not much different, and I looked at the price, 29,999 yuan foreign exchange coupons, not only made Bai Xiaoyi staggered!
Zuo Jiang glanced at the marked price, the difference of 1 yuan is 30,000, and now the foreign exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB is 1 to 3.5, and he secretly calculated in his heart that this mink is nearly 8,600 US dollars, which can be regarded as a luxury in the United States, seeing Bai Xiaoyi's yearning expression, Zuo Jiang approached Bai Xiaoyi and whispered to her: "Sister Xiaoyi, this mink is very suitable for you, don't you look good when you wear it?" ”
Bai Xiaoyi also whispered to Zuo Jiang: "Little brother, that's 30,000 yuan a piece, and it's a foreign exchange coupon, even if you sell your sister, you can't get this mink coat!" ”
Zuo Jiang thought to himself, who said that I can't get this mink coat if I sell you, if you really sell it, I will buy it, let alone 30,000, even 300,000! However, Zuo Jiang was just yy in his heart, this was just a metaphor for Bai Xiaoyi, so he put his ear to her and said: "Sister Xiaoyi, it's okay to try it if you don't sell it, let's get over the addiction of mink coats first." ”
Bai Xiaoyi was moved by Zuo Jiang's words, and secretly wanted to wear it and try it without breaking the law, so he tried it in vain, so he walked to the counter and pointed to the mink coat and said to the salesman: "Salesman, take that mink coat down and I'll try it!" ”
The saleswoman in her 30s walked over at the counter and took a look at the beautiful and elegant Bai Xiaoyi, then at the noble and beautiful Tao Fei in a mink coat, and then at Zuo Jiang who was carrying a large bag and a small bag, knowing that they definitely have the strength to buy this mink coat, unlike those customers who tried it and left, so they picked off the mink with a pole and instructed Bai Xiaoyi: "Be careful, don't get dirty!" ”
Bai Xiaoyi said: "Okay, I'll be careful!" Saying that, he took the mink coat and put it on his body, this mink coat was like a custom-made for Bai Xiaoyi, it fit perfectly, she looked more glorious and luxurious after wearing it, and the people next to her stopped to watch, Bai Xiaoyi proudly straightened her chest and turned around in front of the dressing mirror, "Wow" There was an exclamation around her.
Tao Fei saw Bai Xiaoyi's unfinished expression, and really wanted to pay for it and give it to Bai Xiaoyi, but what was needed here was a foreign exchange coupon, even if she wanted to buy it, she couldn't buy it, so she had to sigh secretly. Bai Xiaoyi also knew the truth of taking it when it was enough, so since he couldn't buy it and try it, he quickly took it off, handed it to the salesman and said, "Comrade, can I buy this mink coat with RMB?" The salesman almost blew up his lungs when he heard it, and said in his heart that you don't have foreign exchange, what else do you try, isn't it tossing the old lady! But the salesmen of the overseas Chinese stores are all specially trained, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't show it on their faces: "Comrade, I'm sorry, this mink coat only accepts foreign exchange coupons!" ”
Bai Xiaoyi pretended to be disappointed and said, "I have no choice but to collect foreign exchange coupons, I'm sorry for you!" With that, he walked up as if fleeing.
After turning a corner, he couldn't see the fur coat counter, so Bai Xiaoyi stopped and secretly laughed proudly. After Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei caught up, Zuo Jiang said to Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi: "Sister, Sister Xiaoyi, you wait for me here for a while, don't go far, there are too many things to carry too heavy, I'll go and send these things to the car and come back." ”
Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi saw that Zuo Jiang was really hard, so they nodded and told him to go and go back quickly. Zuo Jiang took his things and turned around and walked towards the stairs. Turning the corner, Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi couldn't see him, so they walked quickly to the fur coat counter, pointed to the mink coat that Bai Xiaoyi had just tried and said to the salesman: "I bought this mink coat!" As he spoke, he took out three bundles of 100 yuan foreign exchange coupons from his backpack, took out one and pushed it to the female saleswoman.
The female saleswoman saw Zuo Jiang go and return to buy this mink coat, although she was very surprised, but the person took a genuine foreign exchange coupon, and after counting the money, she packed the mink coat and handed it to Zuo Jiang.
Zuo Jiangxun came to the parking lot, put the things in his hand in the trunk of the car, instructed the driver to take care of it, then turned around and returned to the overseas Chinese store, Zuo Jiang exchanged 15,000 US dollars for 52,500 yuan foreign exchange coupons, in addition to buying mink coats, there were more than 22,000 foreign exchange coupons left, and after finding Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi who were wandering on the third floor, he took out 20,000 yuan of foreign exchange coupons from his backpack and put them in Tao Fei's hand and said: "Sister, you can buy some of these foreign exchange coupons if you take them and Sister Xiaoyi!" ”
Tao Fei couldn't help but ask when she saw Zuo Jiang giving her such foreign exchange coupons: "Little brother, where did you get so many foreign exchange coupons?" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "I just exchanged 1.5 yuan to 1 yuan of foreign exchange coupons at the door of the overseas Chinese store with a person who specializes in pouring foreign exchange coupons!" ”
