After hearing about this incident, these colleagues of the inspection group looked at Li Ping'an gratefully, and they all came up to shake Li Qingfeng's hand.

In the eyes of these people, a watch, especially a watch from decades ago, must not be sold for a few dollars, at most only one or two thousand yen, which may not be enough to pay for the pawnshop.

Li Ping'an didn't show anything on his face, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart that a group of turtles knew something, and that scarcity was expensive, and that kamikaze watches were produced in small quantities at that time, and they were only equipped with kamikaze death squads.

Especially this kind of watch that is of great significance to Xiao Ri, plus now that Xiao Ri people have money in their hands, it is not possible to spend a lot of money to buy it like buying the head of the Old Summer Palace in China in later generations.

The embassy sent an interpreter to follow Li Ping'an to the pawnshop, probably because the embassy was not optimistic about the price of this watch, thinking that it might not even be enough to pay for the round-trip fuel, so it did not send a car, but just gave two bicycles and sent the two on the road.

"Comrade Li Ping'an, this watch is an old watch more than 30 years ago, it is estimated that it will not have much value, you have to be mentally prepared" On the way to the pawnshop, the interpreter kindly reminded.

Knowing that the other party had good intentions, Li Ping'an didn't say much, and nodded to show that he knew in his heart.

There was a pawnshop not far outside the embassy area, and it didn't take long for the two of them to reach a pawnshop outside the embassy area, and they put their bicycles away and walked into the pawnshop together.

At this time, there was only one elderly shopkeeper sitting on the sofa reading a book in the pawnshop, and there were no customers in the house.

The wind chimes above the head of the shop rang, and the boss saw someone coming in, put down the book in his hand and stepped forward to entertain the guests.

I have to say that the service industry of the Japanese is really good, it is one hundred and eighty times stronger than Gao Nei, and when he comes up, he bows first, and speaks very politely, Li Ping'an has lived in China for so many years, and he is really not used to this kind of service for a while.

Anyway, the other party couldn't understand what he said, and he didn't have too many greetings with the shopkeeper, Li Ping'an directly took out the watch from his pocket and asked the shopkeeper to estimate it.

After carefully confirming the authenticity of the watch, the shopkeeper solemnly put the watch down and gave his own estimate.

After listening to the price given by the shopkeeper, the interpreter was stupid, and confirmed with the shopkeeper several times, then turned his head and said to Li Ping'an in surprise: "Comrade Ping'an, you have made a fortune, and the shopkeeper of this watch gives a high price of 500,000 yen."

Hearing this price, Li Ping'an converted it in his heart according to the current exchange rate between the yen and the US dollar, which is about 2,000 US dollars, which is said to be a lot, but thinking about the pursuit of foreign antiques by later generations, Japan is now in a period of rapid economic growth, and it should be similar to the mentality of later generations.

"That Hu translator, in this way, you tell him that my psychological price is 1 million yen, and then see what he says."

"What? How could it be sold for a million yen" The surprise on Hu Yi's face had not yet fallen, and he was filled with the shock brought by Li Ping'an's words.

Li Ping'an patted Hu Yiyi's arm and said with a smile: "You give it a try, if you have dates or not, try it, in case this old boy bullies us and doesn't know how to do it, give us a low price."

Translator Hu thought that what Li Ping'an said made sense, there is an old saying in China that still asks for a price all over the sky, and pays back the money on the ground, so he gave Li Ping'an's translation to the shop owner.

Hearing the price of one million, the shopkeeper shook his head again and again, insisting that he only give 500,000, not a single penny.

Hu Yiyi bargained with the shopkeeper, but the boss still refused to give a single step and only gave 500,000 yuan. In the end, there was no way, Hu Yiyi looked at Li Ping'an and asked him to make up his own mind.

Li Ping'an thought for a moment, immediately stopped inking, picked up the watch directly from the table, glanced at Hu Yiyi, and led Hu Yiyi to go out.

At the moment when the two of them were about to walk out of the door, the shopkeeper in the back hurriedly stopped the two of them.

Hearing the boss's voice, a smile appeared on both of their faces, and after going back, this time Hu Yi was full of confidence to bite the price of one million and did not let go, threatening to sell it elsewhere if he didn't give it to a minimum of one million.

After grinding for half an hour, the watch was finally sold for 1 million yen under the helpless face of the shop owner.

Li Ping'an triumphantly took a pile of brand-new 10,000 yuan bills, and followed Hu Translator and the two to ride their bicycles towards the embassy.

When the embassy people learned that a watch was sold for 1 million yen, the entire embassy was shocked and came up to inquire about the specific situation.

Deputy Director Zhou and Mr. Wang, who led the team, also hurried over and asked Li Ping'an about the situation.

After that, he rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly: "This, Comrade Ping'an, you also know that the country is in difficulty now, and there is a serious lack of foreign exchange, you look at this and this."

"Don't worry, I understand what you mean, except for a small part of this money used to exchange currency with colleagues, the rest will be converted into US dollars and brought back to China."

Regarding Deputy Director Zhou's unexplained words, Li Ping'an understood that it was nothing more than asking Li Ping'an to save some flowers, not to buy too many things, and then exchange them for US dollars to bring back to China.

Even if Deputy Director Zhou doesn't say this, Li Ping'an will not spend all the money here in Xiaori, if he really spends the million here in Xiaori, wait to return to China and be criticized, besides, Li Ping'an now has a lot of things in the warehouse, all kinds of cars and household appliances in Xiaori, where do you still need to buy something.

Speaking of which, when I was at the port last night, I really wanted to move all the things in the warehouse, but considering that the goods in twenty or thirty large warehouses quietly disappeared out of thin air overnight, it will definitely attract the attention of the whole world, and the whole world will make great efforts to investigate this matter.

At that time, this batch of lost materials will definitely be included in the global strict monitoring, and maybe once it appears on the market, it will be quickly locked and found according to this batch of materials.

In order to avoid possible trouble, Li Ping'an didn't do that, but only moved one-fifth of his goods from the warehouse, so that even if someone found out afterwards, he would only go to the prison guard to investigate the theft.

Soon the exchange work was carried out under the auspices of Deputy Director Zhou, and under the watchful eyes of Deputy Director Zhou, each person did not dare to exchange more, and only exchanged 5,000 yen, which is about 35 yuan.

This amount of money is enough to go shopping in department stores in China, but in a country where the monthly salary is as high as tens of thousands, this money can't do anything, and it's not enough to take a taxi to a place a little farther away.

Since this money was obtained by Li Ping'an by selling his watch, Deputy Director Zhou generously gave Li Ping'an a special approval, and the amount he could dispose of at will was as high as 50,000 yen.

The remaining 900,000 yen was exchanged for US dollars by the embassy, and then brought back to China by Li Ping'an.

In these years, the unit is like this, what is particular is a selfless dedication, who has relatives who have sent some foreign exchange from abroad, the first thing is to hand over the unit and exchange it for domestic currency.

After the exchange, everyone went to the largest local wholesale market under the leadership of Hu Yiyi, not to mention Ginza, this money is not enough in ordinary shopping malls, so the wholesale market can buy one or two small items.

After arriving at the place, Li Ping'an did not act with everyone, said hello to Hu Translator, and acted alone.

In order to be able to act alone, Li Ping'an also said that he stumbled a few words of English, and the others would not, so he would scold qie, play sweat Zhuode, and scold what to do, these commonly used English words to ask prices.

These words plus even the comparison and guessing are completely enough in this wholesale market, and don't underestimate the wisdom of the people in small days.

found the clothing area on the second floor, and found a slightly more high-end women's clothing store, Li Ping'an even guessed to buy a few women's clothes for Ding Qiunan, and the clothes, pants, shoes and socks were all round.

After walking around the clothing area, I have to admit that there are many designs in the women's clothing in the late 70s, even if they are placed in later generations, they are not outdated at all.

After buying some small daily specialties for Lele and Yi Zhonghai, they began to look for a large army.

When the people of the inspection group saw the two large packages carried by Li Ping'an, they showed envy in their eyes, and the small shopping bag in their hands was instantly out of their hands, which was the result of Li Ping'an putting some of Ding Qiunan's clothes into the warehouse space, if they were all taken out, these people would be even more envious and saliva would flow to the ground.

After finishing their shopping trip at the wholesale market, the group got back on the bus and returned to the embassy.

After the embassy returned all the suits on his body and put on his own tunics, Li Ping'an took the more than 3,600 US dollars that the embassy had just gone out to exchange, joined the other delegations, and everyone went to the airport to get on the plane home.

There are still 20 million yen in his warehouse, and Li Ping'an did not exchange this money for US dollars in Japan, because the yen still has a very high status in the international community, and it can be exchanged for US dollars anywhere.

Besides, the yen will appreciate like crazy next year, and this money will be saved until the end of next year and then converted into dollars, and it can be exchanged for more than 10,000 dollars.

After stepping on the land of his own country, Li Ping'an sighed in his heart, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as his own kennel, and when he returned to his hometown, he smelled a trace of sweetness in the air.

As soon as he got off the plane, before he returned home, Deputy Director Zhou took Li Ping'an back to the Finance Department of the Materials Bureau, and exchanged all the dollars in Li Ping'an's hands for domestic currency in proportion to the domestic currency.

There are foreign exchange coupons that only exist in the 80s, and now the foreign exchange coupons have not yet appeared, even if the bureau wants to give Li Ping'an foreign exchange coupons, there is no way to give them.

This incident caused a sensation in the bureau, and even the director of the General Bureau was alarmed, and he specially ran over to shake Li Ping'an's hand, threatening to hold a special commendation meeting after Li Ping'an went to work the day after tomorrow to commend Li Ping'an's contributions to the country.

got rid of the leaders in the bureau and returned to their homes, Ding Qiunan and the eldest girl were reviewing at home, and when they saw Li Ping'an coming back with a large bag of luggage, the eldest girl said a simple greeting with a lot of interest, and then said goodbye and left.

In the face of such an interesting girl, Li Ping'an was very satisfied, and before the girl left, Li Ping'an took out a bottle of Coke that he bought in Xiaori from his luggage and gave it to the big girl.

"Thank you, Uncle Li"

After thanking Li Ping'an, the eldest girl happily took the Coke full of foreign yards and jumped on the bicycle to leave, this is imported foreign gas water, and it is not allowed to take it out to show off with the friends.

After the eldest girl left, Li Ping'an took out the clothes he bought for Ding Qiunan from Xiaori one by one from his luggage.

In these years, the domestic clothes are black, blue, gray and green, the styles are very simple, there is no sense of fashion, these few small days of the current season's popular autumn and winter clothes took out and instantly occupied Ding Qiunan's eyeballs.

excitedly looked through the clothes brought back by Li Ping'an's big bags and small bags, and took them and gestured on his body.

While Ding Qiunan was looking through his clothes and shoes, Li Ping'an was looking for his daughter everywhere in the room, he hadn't seen his good daughter for a week, and he missed her a little.

"Qiu Nan, where is my daughter? How not at home? After looking at the two rooms and finding no girl, Li Ping'an looked curiously at Ding Qiunan who was trying on new clothes in front of the mirror.

Ding Qiunan, who was excitedly trying on new clothes, said without looking back: "My aunt came just now, and now I am going out for a walk with the child, and I will be back later."

Hearing this, Li Ping'an didn't rush out to find someone, but sorted out the things he brought back from abroad at home, and by the way, he thought about how to deal with this batch of large items purchased for zero yuan in his mind.

It is definitely not possible to deal with it in China, and now the purchasing power of the Chinese people has not yet reached it, and this batch of goods worth tens of millions of US dollars may be sold in China until the Year of the Monkey.

Besides, why does Li Ping'an want so much unity, the US dollar is the hard currency.

The household appliances and other things purchased for zero yuan are good to say, now the products of Xiaori are very popular all over the world, and it is not difficult to get rid of them, and you can eat all the goods directly in Xiangjiang, and you can receive a large number of Hong Kong dollars.

But the more than 200 cars inside gave Li Ping'an a headache how to make a move, the car has an engine number, this is the ID card of the car, it is simple to sell this batch of cars, but I am worried about causing trouble for myself.

The plan for the next few years has been thought out on the plane back to China, not to make a small fuss in the country, and to live in the unit in the next few years after the change, so that Ding Qiunan can invest in buying land and opening a hotel or something.

Secretly, he was speculating in foreign exchange in Xiangjiang, using the goods brought from Japan as capital, and after converting all of them into US dollars, he stared at the yen, and after the Plaza Agreement, he added several times the leverage to long the yen, and made a lot of profits from the exchange rate.

At that time, the material bureau is estimated to be about to restructure, and then come out of the material bureau, at that time the business environment has been stable, to have a relationship, to have money, why can't you become a big man?
