At 9 a.m. on January 6, 1977, I, Xiaoda, Xiaoming, Yanfang, and Ouyang Fengxing attended the preparatory meeting of the Meibang Folk Culture and Economic Visit Group in a hotel in Gangcheng as participants of the CIA Service Station in Gangcheng.

The purpose of this meeting is to arrange the work tasks, work plans and itineraries of the members of the U.S. Folk Culture and Economic Mission after January 9 during their visit to the mainland.

At the meeting, we met with Jefferson and other senior officials presiding over the meeting, as well as all the members of the delegation.

After Jefferson and the consular officials had explained the significance and purpose of the visit, they announced the organizational structure of the delegation and the grouping of the working groups.

The mission was organized by:

Leader: Dr. Ronnier, an educator, served as the head of the group;

Deputy heads: Ph.D. Hills, a financier, Dr. Alexander, an economist, and others;

Subordinate Organisations: Cultural and Educational Exchange Section; Finance and Currency Exchange Section; Economic and Business Exchange Section; Interview & Investigation Team; Conference Services Group.

Zhou Xiaoming, Tao Yanfang and Ouyang Fengxing were assigned to the "Conference Service Group", which was mainly responsible for the translation of Chinese and English meetings, document processing, and conference itinerary arrangements.

Xiaoda and I were assigned to the "Interview and Investigation Team", which was tasked with conducting cultural and economic social interviews and surveys in major cities and rural areas in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Southwest China.

After the group was announced, Xiaoda and I went to the interview and investigation team to participate in the discussion of the group's work items and contents.

There are nine members in our group, except for me and Xiaoda, the other members are professional reporters from major news agencies, newspapers, radio and television stations.

The leader of the interview and investigation team is Cohen, a tall, Eurasian man in his thirties, who is fluent in Chinese. Responsible for the overall management of the group.

I was the deputy head of the interview and investigation team, mainly responsible for the interview and investigation tasks outside the venue, and my members were Xiao Da, Steven, and Luke, who were all professional young male journalists.

The other four reporters, all women, were in charge of interviews and investigations at the venue, and Cohen was in charge of their management.

Cohen distributed to each of our members the "Objectives of the Mission and the Minutes of Negotiations".

Cohen said, "Ladies! Gentlemen! This file is very important! It is a guide to the work of our entire delegation! Read the content right away and use this guide to design your interviews, surveys, and questions! All we need to do is conduct interviews with our useful content and goals, and then, in accordance with the spirit and regulations of the guidelines, write news reports and investigative reports! Other content, such as talking about how good the mainland government is! The content of the interview, such as how the people are free and happy, must not appear in our reports and reports! This "Minutes" is a top-secret document! Hurry up and read it! ”

Because there was a lot of content in the Minutes, everyone scattered around the venue and read them.

I hinted that Xiaoda covered me, and I took advantage of the opportunity between Shang Xian's hands to secretly shoot this "Minutes".

After I finished the candid shooting, I returned to my original position to read the "Minutes", which mainly contained:

The overall prerequisite for the US aid to the mainland is that the mainland must make a comprehensive break with the old model and the old camp, break away from the old economic model, promote economic privatization and liberalization reforms, open up the market, and establish a financial, trade, and legal system that integrates with the international market!

In terms of cultural assistance, Western cultural carriers such as books, newspapers, films, and television are allowed to enter the mainland cultural market. Cultural exchange activities between China and the West, educational exchanges, the establishment of cultural and educational exchange institutions, and the exchange of international students are permitted.

In terms of economic assistance, in terms of technology and management, it will help the mainland in telecommunications, transportation, urban construction and basic industrial construction. Western enterprises are allowed to set up branches and factories on the mainland, and these institutions and factories are allowed to enjoy the same treatment as mainland enterprises

In terms of financial assistance, we will carry out reform of the financial system, allow the free circulation of Western capital and capital at home and abroad, allow the marketization and free exchange of currency, allow Western financial institutions and banks to set up offices and branches on the mainland, and on this basis, provide loans and economic aid to the mainland for peaceful purposes.

After reading the Minutes, we returned the text to Team Leader Cohen.

Cohen smiled at me and Da and said, "Jack, Tom! You're all generals! You guys are really wronged by us little reporters! You can take the "Regulations on the Work of Journalists" and read them, and I have prepared the "Press Card" for you when you go out to conduct interviews and investigations."

Cohen then gave me and Xiaoda the "Regulations on the Work of Journalists" and "Press Cards", as well as a reporter's work bag, which included cameras, photographic supplies, microtypewriters and other journalist supplies.

At the same time, the conference team gave the members uniform clothes and so on, and everyone felt that there were too many of these things!

After the meeting, five colleagues from our CIA service station in Hong Kong City sat down with Jefferson and Mr. Tao for lunch.

General Jefferson said, "Jack! At the end of this visit, the main task of your service station is to follow up on specific projects in economic and cultural cooperation with the mainland! You have to find a way to put into operation the economic cooperation project you have envisioned to establish a China-Hong Kong Free Trade Bonded Zone as soon as possible! Your service station must show the results and let your peers see it! ”

I said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured! We will definitely look for opportunities to implement the China-Hong Kong Free Trade Zone project as soon as possible! His Excellency the General has always advocated the disintegration of the continent through cultural and economic means, and we will certainly work hard for your great ideas! ”

After the working lunch, the five of us returned to the CIA service station in Port City.

After returning to the service station, Xiaoda and I went straight home.

Then, I developed the film with the contents of the "Minutes" in the darkroom at home and collected it!

......

At 9 a.m. on 7 January, General Jefferson and other U.S. decision-makers returned to the U.S. mainland.

After we saw off Jefferson, we took Mr. Tao back to live in our service station dormitory.

In the car, Mr. Tao smiled and said, "Ah Cai! General Jefferson asked me to come here so that I would help you manage the CIA service station in Port City during your time on the mainland! In addition, the Spring Festival is approaching, and I want to bring your wife and Hong Kong students to Hong Kong City for the New Year! They also want to go back to Port City! ”

I said, "Yes! My wife and Hong Kong students are here, so you can live in our own house! When we go, I'll give you the keys to the house! You can ask the babysitter at home, Mama Mo, to cook and do your laundry! ”

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Okay! It should be so much more convenient to live in your own home! ”

......

At 9 o'clock in the morning on January 8, Mr. Tao, Yanfang, Ke Xin, Dr. Wei and Zhou Xiaoming went to the street to play, and by the way, they bought gifts for returning to the mainland, as well as daily necessities after their relatives came over.

Xiaoda and I work in the service station office.

Shortly after we started work, we received a call from Dr. Alexander, the deputy head of the delegation.

He asked us to help him exchange 20 million US dollars for the official price, which was exchanged at the official price of 1:2.

So, Xiaoda called Long Haitao to discuss.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Long Haitao and Ah Fei came to my office, and we sat on the sofa drinking coffee and talking.

Brother Long said: "Ah Cai! So what's the matter with calling me over? ”

I said, "Tomorrow we are going back to the mainland, and I want to exchange some renminbi with you. ”

Brother Long smiled and said, "Okay! It depends on how much you change? ”

I said, "Brother Long, give a reserve price!" Cheap, we can exchange a little more! ”

Brother Long smiled and said, "Today I will do favors, and you will not make money!" 1:50 for you! ”

I said, "So cheap, it can't be a counterfeit, right?" ”

Brother Long smiled and said, "How is it possible? The money here is all collected from merchants and sailors on the mainland! Wait, you can inspect the goods! ”

I said, "Okay! The total amount of RMB with a face value of 10 yuan is about 1 gram, and 10 million yuan is 1 million pieces of paper, which is 1 million grams and 1,000 kilograms! ”

Brother Long smiled and said, "Yes! 100 dollars is 1.35 grams, and 10 million dollars is 135 kilograms! It's still convenient for you to bring dollars! ”

I laughed and said, "Alas! Now you can't use dollars in the mainland! Let's change the RMB! Brother Long: What is your packaging specification? ”

Brother Long said: "It must be 1 million yuan for a package, a canvas handbag, and a 100-kilogram bag that two strong men can carry!" There is also a package of 500,000, canvas tote bags, and 50 kg bags, which can be carried by one person! How much do you want, we'll go back and stock up for you right away! ”

I said, "Let's exchange it for 1 million US dollars, 50 million RMB, give us 500,000 RMB for a package, canvas tote bag, so it's exactly 100 bags!" ”

Brother Long smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You have so many relatives in the mainland! Okay, you prepare the dollar bills, we will go back to stock up, wait a minute, Ah Fei and they will deliver the money to you and collect the dollar bills from you! ”

After Brother Long finished speaking, he took Ah Fei and them away.

After Brother Long and the others left, I called Dr. Alexander and asked him to send someone to send me $20 million immediately, and I had already helped him exchange 40 million yuan.

Soon Dr. Alexander's secretary came with seven or eight workers in a car.

Dr. Alexander's secretary came to my office and handed me two large boxes containing $20 million.

I asked Xiaoda to take them to the conference room for coffee, waiting to take 40 million yuan.

After they went to the conference room for coffee, Xiaoda and I unpacked $20 million in our office.

The bills were indeed the ones they had just withdrawn from the bank, and they were all brand new, and they were neatly bundled with $100,000!

......

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Ah Fei drove a large truck to deliver 50 million yuan to the yard of the service station.

Xiao Da was in charge of taking Dr. Alexander's secretary to the flying car to accept and withdraw 40 million yuan.

Dr. Alexander, they took away 40 million yuan, that is, 80 bags!

Ah Fei: They brought 10 million yuan, or 20 bags, to my office.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! We have accepted all 100 packages of goods! Dr. Alexander: They took away 40 million yuan, that is, 80 bags! The 10 million yuan and 20 bags of money are ours! ”

Ah Fei smiled and said, "Brother Acai! You give me the dollar bills, Long Ye is waiting to see, I will go to the bank to help him deposit the information of the dollar bills! ”

Then, I handed the box containing $1 million to Ah Fei and them.

After they unpacked the box and inspected the goods and counted the points, Ah Fei and a few of them left happily with the boxes!

After they left, Xiao Da smiled and said, "Ah Cai! This business is so good! Now, we have all the money! ”

After that, Xiaoda drove the family's pickup truck to the yard of the service station.

Xiaoda and I loaded two large boxes containing 19 million US dollars and 20 canvas bags containing 10 million yuan into the pickup truck, and we moved our things home!

After having lunch at home, Mr. Tao and the others had not yet come home, Xiaoda and I were drinking tea and chatting in the living room at home.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! It's very troublesome for us to bring these renminbi back to the mainland! ”

I said, "No trouble! Our family is full of poor people, and they are all waiting for money! These goods were sent by plane, and vehicles were sent to the hotel, and after arriving in the capital, we sent 1 million taels of bags to Uncle Jia Weimin! Send my sister 2 million four bags! Brought Hucheng to send 1 million two bags to Xiaoming's family! Dr. Wei's family sent 200,000! The remaining eleven and a half bags of 5.8 million yuan, we will take them all home, and then give the Qin family, the Lan family and the Cen family equal money! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Okay! So, let's start preparing our luggage! Wait for Yanfang, and they'll be back! ”

So, we started to prepare our luggage and belongings.

I'm going to get $19 million, $1 million of which fits into my backpack and the remaining $18 million locked in my home safe, so that I have $18,317,500 in cash!
