At half past seven o'clock in the evening of June 21, 1977, Xiaoda and I returned to Longge Wharf in Gangcheng after handling the money exchange and deposit business in Yangcheng.

We drove the vehicle parked on the pier and returned to the Magic Star Villa.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, when we returned home, Mo's mother said, "Master! Someone just brought a phone call to you! I said to the man, you're not home! He left you a phone number! He told you to call him as soon as you got home! He said he was looking for you in a hurry! ”

I said, "Mom Mo has worked hard! I know! Go about your business! ”

After we put away our luggage and belongings, we were in the office at home and called the person who left the phone.

After I talked on the phone, I learned that the international trade representatives of the Pontianak Special Administrative Region, Fang Guohui, Loh Min Sheng, and others had already arrived in Hong Kong City, and now, they are staying in a hotel, and they asked me to meet them at the café of the hotel where they are staying at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

After talking to Fang Guohui on the phone, Xiaoda and I washed up and rested.

......

At 9 a.m. on June 22, Xiao and I arrived at the café of the hotel where Fang Guohui and Lu Minsheng lived.

When we arrived at the café, Fang Guohui and Lu Minsheng had already booked a seat, and we sat down and started talking.

Fang Guohui said: "Ah Cai! About the purchase of mainland equipment and materials! Have you properly contacted the mainland side? ”

I said, "We have just returned from the mainland, and we have already contacted this matter, and they have already started to prepare for the transaction of these equipment and materials!" When will your negotiation and transaction leaders arrive at Port City? We're going to take a boat from here to Yangcheng! The negotiation and transaction location of this transaction are in Yangcheng! ”

Fang Guohui said: "Great! We just received a notice that at 2 o'clock this afternoon, my father, Deputy Chief Fang Jianguo, led a team to Hong Kong City! When the time comes, let's go to the airport to pick them up and take them to this hotel! ”

I said, "Okay! They don't have a room reservation? ”

Fang Guohui said: "It's already ordered!" We'll do it! You are responsible for sending them to the mainland to negotiate and trade! ”

I said, "Okay! How many people are there? ”

Fang Guohui said: "Six! ”

I said, "Okay! We'll go back and get a new van and we'll meet you here! That vehicle will be left for you to use then! In order to make a deal as soon as possible, after your dad and they arrive, we may be going to the mainland soon! The negotiators from the mainland may have rushed to Yangcheng from the capital! ”

Fang Guohui said: "Okay! When they come, let's talk to them! ”

.......

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, me, Xiaoda, Fang Guohui and Lu Minsheng drove to the airport in a business car, and we received a group of six people, including Deputy General Manager Fang Jianguo.

As soon as they settled in at the hotel, we had a meeting in Fang Guohui's booking office.

Deputy Director Fang said: "Ah Cai! When are we going to negotiate with them in Yangcheng on the mainland? ”

I said, "Boss Fang! If you are ready for all negotiations and transactions, we had better go to Yangcheng immediately, I feel that their negotiation and trading personnel have already arrived in Yangcheng! However, you must have a specific operation plan in terms of transaction payment, acceptance and transportation! If you negotiate successfully, you can inspect, pick up, ship and leave the port in Yangcheng! They have all the equipment and goods ready in Yangcheng! ”

Deputy Director Fang said: "Ah Cai! We have done business with them many times, we are very familiar with their negotiation and transaction processes and habits, and we are ready to negotiate and trade with them! ”

I said, "Okay! So, let's take you to Yangcheng now, and leave the matter here to Brother Guohui and Minsheng to take care of and manage! ”

After the meeting, Deputy General Manager Fang and the six of them immediately went back to their rooms to prepare their luggage and articles for negotiations and transactions on the mainland.

After they prepared their luggage and belongings for Yangcheng, Lu Minsheng stayed at the hotel.

I, Xiaoda and Fang Guohui took Deputy Chief Fang and the other six people to the hotel parking lot and took a business car to Longge Wharf.

In the car, Xiao Da told Fong Kwok Fai the characteristics of the roads and landmarks of the Port City, and then handed him the traffic map of the Port City.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Brother Guohui! Wait, you drive back to the hotel by yourself, you won't get lost, right? ”

Fang Guohui smiled and said, "Xiaoda! How is this possible?! I have a Hong Kong City ID card, and I am also a Hong Kong City person, if I don't know, I will ask Arthur! ”

Everyone laughed!

When they arrived at Longge Wharf, after everyone got out of the car, Xiaoda handed over the keys to the car to Fang Guohui, and he drove back to the hotel.

At 5 p.m., we caught the speedboat to Yangcheng.

......

At 8 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at Yangcheng Afei Wharf, and Brother Li Dege drove a business car to meet us.

After everyone got in the car, we went directly to Uncle Ma's barracks.

At 9 p.m., after we arrived at Uncle Ma's barracks, the guards took us to a conference room.

At the meeting, we met with Uncle Ma and Jia Gang, who welcomed us, as well as the Chinese negotiators.

After everyone meets, shake hands and introduce each other.

The main negotiator on the Chinese side was the person in charge of equipment at the headquarters, Mr. Li Shoutian, who was in his fifties and gray-haired! Shen Jiaqiang, general manager of an international import and export company, in his 50s; Ordnance expert, Mr. Jiang Shouxin, more than 40 men and more than a dozen other staff members.

Once everyone is seated, the meeting begins.

Li Shoutian said with a smile: "Welcome to President Fang and his entourage to visit the mainland!" We are very happy to have your visit! We're old friends anymore! Don't be in a hurry when it comes to business! It's getting late, so let's not talk about business tonight, wait, let's go to the dining hall for supper! After you eat, rest well and recuperate! Tomorrow at 9 a.m., let's start negotiating! ”

Deputy Director Fang smiled and said, "Thank you for your arrangement!" We are really in a hurry to get the equipment and supplies! Saving lives is like fighting fire! Hopefully we will be able to conclude the negotiations soon! Make a deal as soon as possible! ”

Li Shoutian said: "Chief Fang! Please rest assured that we have the sincerity to meet your trading needs! Tomorrow morning, after the negotiations, we will immediately proceed to the formal transaction process! You should trust our supply and logistics capabilities! ”

After the meeting, Uncle Ma and Jia Gang took Deputy Leader Fang and the other six people to the cafeteria for supper, and Li Shoutian and Shen Jiaqiang asked Xiaoda and me to have a private conversation with them.

Li Shoutian smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You are an all-rounder in civil and military affairs! I'm your Uncle Jia's best friend! Your uncle often mentioned you to me, and he said that you have been in business since you were a child, and that you are very smart and capable! This time, you have helped the headquarters open up a financial road! Prove that your uncle is not lying! ”

I said, "Alas! Uncle Lee! I'm Uncle Jia's student, and he likes to exaggerate my abilities in front of others! Because, Uncle Jia's big weakness is that he can't do business, he can only be an agent! ”

Everyone laughed!

Shen Jiaqiang smiled and said, "Ah Cai! In the future, you will have this kind of business again! You just tell Uncle Ma directly! Our company is specialized in this type of trading business! ”

I said, "Okay! Recently, someone may want to ask you for goods! The order size is about 1 billion US dollars! ”

Li Shoutian smiled and said, "Oops! Ah Cai is really a god of wealth! Lao Shen, you can rest assured, in the future, we will introduce you to more business! Right?! Ahh ”

Everyone laughed again!

Shen Jiaqiang said: "Ah Cai! There's something I'd like to discuss! Our trading company has recently overspent on foreign exchange usage! If the US dollar enters our account, the bank will definitely confiscate our foreign exchange and use the foreign exchange to make up for our overspending, so we hope that the counterparty of this transaction will settle the payment with us in RMB! In this way, we can pay RMB to the supplier through foreign exchange settlement, what do you think should be done about this matter? ”

I said, "Oh! What is the exchange rate for your foreign exchange settlement? ”

Shen Jiaqiang said: "We are settled according to the US dollar and the RMB 1:2! ”

I said, "Oh! That's it! My Yangcheng Hualong Company has enough RMB funds in its account! We can be the intermediary of the foreign exchange settlement between the two sides of your transaction, I am responsible for helping you collect the US dollar foreign exchange from the purchaser, and then, I will settle the RMB for you at the exchange rate of 1:2! In this way, the problem is solved! ”

Shen Jiaqiang smiled and said, "Alas! Ah Cai is really a financial genius! Well, we can't let you do it for nothing, we'll give you a 5% rake! ”

Li Shoutian said with a smile: "I am the chairman of this company, and this matter is decided!" In the future, our business with Ah Cai will be done according to this rule! ”

After the conversation, Brother Li De took Xiaoda and me to the cafeteria for supper, and after supper, we went to the guest house to rest together.

......

At 9 o'clock in the morning on June 23, Deputy Chief Fang and Li Shoutian held a transaction negotiation in the barracks conference room, and Brother Li De sent me and Xiaoda back to the office of Sing Tao Manor, and arranged the transaction settlement with Uncle Xian and Aunt Wen.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, when we arrived at the office, I, Uncle Sin and Aunt Wen were in the conference room of the office to discuss things.

I told them about the trading company that I gave to Shen Jiaqiang from Yangcheng Hualong Company.

Aunt Wen said, "Ah Cai! No problem with this! As long as we apply to the bank in advance, we can withdraw cash from the fixed deposit to the counterparty! Wait a minute, I'll go to the bank to apply for a cash withdrawal payment of 10 billion yuan! ”

Uncle Xian smiled and said, "Okay! It's a good thing that the company has a business to do! Now, we're getting more and more money! In the future, we will have to find some stable industrial projects to do! ”

I said, "Yes! Let's wait for our chance! This world is so big, there must be something for us to do! ”

After discussing the transaction collection and settlement, Aunt Wen and Brother Zhengjun went to the bank to do business.

Brother Lidge drove me and Xiaoda back to the barracks.

At noon, we returned to the barracks and had lunch in the cafeteria.

After lunch, Fang Jianguo talked to me in an office.

Fang Jianguo said: "Ah Cai! The negotiation went very well! The total amount of this transaction is $5 billion! Purchase orders, contract terms, etc., we have already negotiated! After I pay them 10% of the total payment, we start to inspect the goods, pay 50% of the payment to start picking up and shipping, after the delivery and shipment, we pay the full amount, and then, we can leave the port with the goods! In terms of payment, both parties agree that you will be the middleman and be responsible for the collection and settlement of foreign exchange; In terms of transportation, we have prepared several of our own cargo ships in the port city, avoiding the surveillance of the allied forces at night, and taking advantage of the darkness to dock and load the goods at the Haihe port in Yangcheng, so that we can transport the goods back to Pontianak by ourselves! At half past 1 p.m. today, we both started to sign a contract! Once you've signed the contract, you're ready to trade! Are you ready, the middleman? ”

I said, "I'm ready here!" You can trade at any time! ”

At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, in the negotiation conference room of the barracks, Li Shoutian and Fang Jianguo signed the "Material Transaction Contract", and after they signed the contract, a trading office was set up, and I, Shen Jiaqiang, and Fang Jianguo were in the trading office to prepare for the transaction and payment of the contract.

Shen Jiaqiang said: "Boss Fang, let's start the transaction!" ”

Then, Fang Jianguo asked me for my receiving account, and I gave him Qin Jingcai's UBS account.

After Fang Jianguo got my account, he paid me by international call.

Soon, I checked the receipt of $1 billion through international calls, but in fact, $500 million was the business commission given to me by Pontianak and the contract advance payment of $500 million.

So, I immediately called Aunt Wen in the office of Hualong Company and paid 1 billion yuan to Shen Jiaqiang's trading company through Hualong Company's account.

Soon, after Shen Jiaqiang received the payment by phone, they began to inspect and accept the products of the contract list.

......

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Boss Fang's inspection was over, and their cargo ship had arrived at the scheduled port to prepare for loading, so they paid half of the money.

Boss Fang paid me $2 billion over the phone, and after I received the payment, I asked Aunt Wen to pay Shen Jiaqiang 4 billion yuan.
