Under normal circumstances, export procedures are quite cumbersome and require many departments to operate and coordinate.

It is not as simple as the farmers on Dandan Island see, and the big ship of the island country can be directly weighed and pulled away.

In fact, there are many procedures and links in the middle, and the Fisheries Bureau has already helped to complete it, after all, this export is led and led by the Fisheries Bureau.

Under normal circumstances, even if farmers export, they will not be able to get foreign exchange coupons.

Due to the peculiarity of the export of live eels, fishing boats must go to the breeding site to pull fish, and cannot go through the normal customs and wharf channels.

In this era, many policies are not very perfect, and there is a lot of room for operation, and now is the period of earning foreign exchange.

However, if the relevant departments take the lead, they can have a green light all the way.

Anyway, it's a reason.

At this stage, whoever can export to earn foreign exchange is the master, not only everyone lets you, but also a variety of subsidies.

As the first official export led by the Rongcheng Fishery Bureau, Director Wu attached great importance to it, and even personally ran many departments, consulted the leaders, and finally finalized the subsidy plan.

That is, to provide a part of the foreign exchange vouchers to farmers who export agricultural products as export subsidies.

And this year.

The two types of vouchers, overseas Chinese remittance coupons and foreign exchange coupons, are absolutely fragrant buns.

Overseas Chinese remittance vouchers have been available for a long time.

As everyone knows, it is the remittance and family support expenses of overseas Chinese to their dependents in China.

And the only one in their village who had overseas Chinese remittance vouchers before was Lin Shanshan's husband Xiao Weidong.

It's because a relative abroad sends some money to help them from time to time.

The foreign exchange coupon was issued on April 1, 1980, with denominations of 1 jiao, 5 jiao, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 50 yuan, and 100 yuan.

According to the regulations, foreign exchange coupons are not for the use of Chinese people, but mainly for foreigners and overseas Chinese who come to China.

Since the market supply is still very tight after the opening up, the daily necessities of domestic residents (such as grain, oil, meat, cloth, etc.) are still rationed.

However, at this time, more and more foreigners and returned overseas Chinese came to visit the country, and in order to entertain them, the state built a number of hotels and shops for them to shop and lodging.

And on these specific occasions, as long as you use foreign exchange coupons, you can buy unlimited amounts of grain and oil.

As long as you have enough foreign exchange coupons, even imported cars can be bought.

Li Duoyu built a house before, but because he didn't have a ticket, he couldn't buy those building materials that were in short supply, and finally he bought it because he had a relationship with Zhao Jialu.

However, it is much simpler to have a foreign exchange coupon, you don't even need a ticket, you can buy it directly.

You can even buy imported clothing, cosmetics, various home appliances, imported watches, etc.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a "privilege coupon", although it is not legal tender, but it is much easier to use than legal tender in China.

Li Duoyu remembered that when it was just opened, even if there were coupons in his hand, ordinary people were still not allowed to enter, such as friendship stores and overseas Chinese stores.

He and Agui once got a foreign exchange coupon through the black market, and they wanted to go to the friendship store to meet the world, but they were stopped by the doorman.

But in recent years, the weather vane has changed and become less strict, as long as you have a coupon in your hand, when you go in, show the coupon out, and the doorman will turn a blind eye.

Speaking of which, they are still rivals in Shangfeng Town and friendship stores and overseas Chinese stores.

A few years ago, when goods were popular, high-priced imported goods that needed foreign exchange coupons to buy in import stores were all at half price.

After the goods were removed, the business of the friendship store and the overseas Chinese store immediately improved, and the foreign exchange coupons also rose.

Officially, the ratio of foreign exchange vouchers to RMB is 1:1, but in the "black market", 100 yuan foreign exchange vouchers need more than 130 yuan to exchange, and the most exaggerated time, 1:1.5 have people to change.

One of the advantages of foreign exchange coupons over overseas Chinese remittance coupons is that it also has a different function, that is, foreign exchange coupons can also be exchanged for US dollars.

Those who are studying abroad or visiting relatives, they need to exchange foreign exchange vouchers for US dollars.

At this time, there are many people learning English in big cities, and the registration fee for the TOEFL test also needs to be paid in US dollars.

The market demand for foreign exchange bills and the US dollar has directly spawned a whole generation of foreign exchange reversers.

But this is in the big cities.

The foreign exchange coupons of Rongcheng have another use, and the demand is also very large, in those places where "line walking" is prevalent, there are often people on the side of the road whispering:

"Do you want to exchange money?"

"Do you want dollars?"

This kind of scalper specializing in exchanging foreign exchange has lasted for decades, and even Li Duoyu has encountered it on the side of the road when he returned from the island country.

On the side of the village committee, all the farmers shouted excitedly:

"I want a foreign exchange coupon."

"I want foreign exchange vouchers too."

The kelp keepers in Chenjia Village also shouted: "We also want foreign exchange coupons." ”

Seeing that everyone asked for foreign exchange coupons, Director Jin suddenly said seriously: "According to the regulations, I can't give you this thing, but considering that everyone has made great contributions to exports, coupled with the strong requirements of our Director Wu, this time I will give each of you a coupon of one-quarter of the export amount." ”

Lao Lu, who was standing at the front, asked:

"Leader, can't you exchange all the exports for foreign exchange coupons?"

Director Jin nodded and said, "No, this time it's a special case, and under normal procedures, even if you export, you will only get RMB." ”

Seeing that he could only exchange one-quarter foreign exchange coupons, the old man Mi, who was a little knowledgeable, hurriedly said: "Then leader, can you give us the yen for buying kelp, and we will exchange it ourselves." ”

Director Jin frowned and said: "This is even worse, the foreign exchange earned from exports is managed by our bureau in a unified manner, and those yen cannot be directly given to you." ”

After hearing this, the farmers said: "In that case, wouldn't we suffer a lot." ”

Seeing that the farmers had opinions, Director Wu on the side hurriedly said:

"Folks, although you can't exchange all of them for foreign exchange coupons, but the state won't treat you badly, this year, we have an export subsidy policy, and the part that has not been exchanged for foreign exchange coupons will give you subsidies."

Lao Lu frowned and asked, "How much is the subsidy?" ”

Director Wu replied: "Five percent." ”

"It's only five percent."

Everyone knows very well that 100 yuan of foreign exchange coupons can be exchanged for 130, and if the subsidy is given, 100 yuan is only 105, and there is a direct difference of 25 yuan in the middle.

"This subsidy is too small."

"Let's give us foreign exchange vouchers."

Seeing that everyone was constantly making noise there, Li Duoyu shouted with a loudspeaker on the spot:

"Line up, don't argue, if you have this kind of welfare, it's only this time, and it is estimated that there will be no next time.

"By the way, the leaders of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange don't have so many foreign exchange coupons this time, if you are so abrasive, I will have to change them first, and when the time comes, you will not have them, don't come to me."

As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, Lao Lu and Old Man Mi instantly became "obedient", licked their faces and smiled: "Leader, four points is four points, and we will exchange foreign exchange coupons." ”

Li Duoyu glanced at the two of them with disgust, and then shouted:

"If you have a passbook, go to get the foreign exchange coupon first, and if you don't have a passbook, go home first to get the household registration book, line up, and find Comrade Gao Jing of the credit union to handle the passbook for you."

Under the organization of Li Duoyu, the farmers who were originally noisy instantly became orderly.

Zhao Jialu on the side couldn't help but admire: "It's still you, the village director, who is amazing, these people are very obedient to you." ”

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said: "Where did they listen to me, they were afraid that I would redeem all the foreign exchange coupons." ”

Lao Lu, the first to get a foreign exchange coupon, was like holding a treasure, he held a 100-yuan coupon with the Great Wall printed on the front, and when he observed it under the sun, he couldn't help but smell it.

"Brand new, this ink smells so good."

The stone on the side said enviously: "Lao Lu, is this a hundred, can you show me." ”

"The beauty you think."

"Damn, show me and I won't die."

Lao Lu smiled: "I still have a lot of Zhang, do you want it, as long as you are okay with my Yanyan, I can give it all to you." ”

Shi had a dark face: "Can you stop mentioning Yanyan to me, I told you a long time ago, I like to be skinny, forget it, I'll take the money to find Brother Yu to exchange two for two." ”

Hearing that the stone wanted to exchange for foreign exchange coupons, Lao Lu smiled and said: "Don't wait for more fish, I want a few, I can exchange it for you first, just according to the market price, 1:1.3, what do you think." ”

"We're all so acquainted, you can sell me two cheaply, 1:1."

"You might as well go and grab it."
