Before 5 o'clock in the morning of the second day, Duan Yun had already packed his suitcase and came to the door of the staff club.

At this time, at the door of the staff club, Gao Lei, Erhu and Fang Rong were already waiting there.

"Where's the ticket?" Duan Yun asked after walking in front of Gao Lei.

"Here's it. Gao Lei said, took out three tickets from his pocket, and handed them to Duan Yun, Erhu and Fang Rong.

The departure time on the train ticket is 6:45 in the morning, and the ticket is checked about half an hour in advance, and Duan Yun must arrive at the train station early.

The first bus to the railway station in the morning of the gear factory departed at 5:30, and Duan Yun waited for a while before getting on the bus.

This business trip to the south is definitely full of novelty for Fang Rong and Erhu, holding the train ticket tightly in his hand, and a touch of excitement occasionally flashes in his eyes.

But for Duan Yun, this business trip was not easy, in order to avoid theft by pickpockets, he took out 30,000 yuan from the bank yesterday and rolled it up with a cloth and wrapped it around his waist, leaving only a small amount of cash in his underwear pocket, becoming a veritable "waist wrapped".

After coming to Daxing Railway Station, the sky had already begun to brighten, Duan Yun, and a few people ate some fried dough tofu brains at the roadside stall in front of the train station, and then entered the waiting room with boxes.

There weren't many people on the train at this time, and there weren't many people in the huge waiting hall, which couldn't help but make Duan Yun breathe a sigh of relief, the scene of squeezing into canned sardines on the train back to his hometown last year was like a nightmare for him, and now it seems that he shouldn't encounter this situation again today.

After waiting in the waiting hall for a while, about 4 people finally checked their tickets and got on the train, and after entering the platform, the two tigers Gao Lei and Fang Rong immediately trotted all the way, and even squeezed and carried them to enter the carriage first, helping Duan Yun also grab a seat by the window.

After the train started slowly, Duan Yun looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze, while the three Gao Lei who were sitting next to him and opposite him were very excited, and quickly took out the poker and played upgrades.

The journey to Xiamen is very long, and it takes a full 23 hours for the train to arrive, which is a very strenuous journey.

As the so-called poor family rich road, the chaotic clouds naturally will not let the brothers who follow him suffer, and at about 8 o'clock in the evening, the conductor on the train began to sell sleeper tickets.

In fact, the sleeper tickets of these flight attendants are their own sleepers, in order to make a few more money, they sell these tickets privately to some rich passengers, without any letters of introduction and certificates, so Duan Yun bought 4 in one go, and there is a place to sleep at night, which will alleviate the fatigue of a long journey, and Duan Yun leads Gao Lei and others to eat at the table for three meals a day, and the journey is quite easy.

After a day and a night of trains, Duan Yun and the other four finally arrived at Xiamen Railway Station.

As soon as he got off the train, Duan Yun felt an oncoming hot flash.

Xiamen is a coastal city, and compared with northern cities like Daxing, it is more humid and hot, which is somewhat unsuitable for this reason.

Fortunately, several people rested in the sleeper at night, so after walking out of the train station, everyone looked energetic.

Lots of rickshaws parked outside the train station. This kind of rickshaw sits very compactly, with three wheels, and only one person can sit on it, and after seeing people pouring out of the station, the drivers of these human cars have stepped forward to solicit passengers.

Gao Lei had been here before, so he was also a little familiar with this place, and after a few people got into a rickshaw, they headed in the direction of Xiamen City.

In the 80s, the streets of Xiamen were very clean, and it took about half an hour for Duan Yun and others to take a rickshaw to Zhongshan Road in Xiamen.

In terms of urban construction, Daxing and Xiamen look similar in these years, and they feel more prosperous and energetic.

Zhongshan Road is an east-west road in Zhonghua Street, Siming District, Xiamen City, which is the oldest commercial street in Xiamen and one of the most prosperous shopping streets in Xiamen.

To Duan Yun's surprise, Zhongshan Road is indeed very prosperous, and there are many shop signs on both sides, but they are all written in traditional characters, which is very Hong Kong-like, although most of the shops are not open in the early morning, and there are already many pedestrians shuttling on the road.

Under the leadership of Gao Lei, since he first found a hotel to live in, after paying the money for the letter of introduction, Duan Yun divided the four into two rooms and lived on the second floor of the hotel.

After leaving the suitcases at the hotel, the group left the hotel and went out for breakfast.

According to Gao Lei, this distant company is next to Zhongshan Road and only opens at 8 a.m. every day, so Duan Yun plans to wait at the door of that company after breakfast first.

Opposite the hotel is the Overseas Chinese Building, and next to the building there is a state-run restaurant that sells breakfast, but it has just opened, and Duan Yun led people to this restaurant.

The Overseas Chinese Building is also one of the early large hotels in Xiamen, built in 1958, it is the main place to receive overseas Chinese in Xiamen, and the appearance is very Soviet-style.

"A few big brothers, do you want Taiwan dollars?" When Duan Yun and the others were halfway through their meal, a few young people walked at the door, and after seeing Duan Yun in a suit and leather shoes, they walked over with a smile on his face and asked in a low voice.

"We don't want anything!" Seeing this, Gao Lei motioned for these young people to hurry away.

"Wait, what kind of Taiwan dollar are you talking about? Can I take a look?" Duan Yun asked curiously.

"This boss is coming to Xiamen for the first time, right?" the young man in the lead smiled, then took out two tickets from his pocket and shook them in front of Duan Yun.

These are two New Taiwan dollars with the portrait of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek.

As early as the 80s, after the reform and opening up, this new Taiwan dollar appeared in the Xiamen market, in some banks, high-star hotels, high-end shopping malls, and even taxis in Xiamen, there are opportunities to see this new Taiwan dollar, there are paper money and coins, paper money is the majority, the face value is 100 yuan, there are 1,000 yuan.

In the 80s of the last century, Taiwanese fishermen sailed directly into Xiamen from the sea, and the new Taiwan dollar they brought with them needed to be exchanged for RMB.

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of people who exchange this new Taiwan dollar, one is Taiwan compatriots, because the new Taiwan dollar is not a settlement currency, the new Taiwan dollar can only be exchanged into foreign exchange renminbi on the mainland, and cannot participate in the adjustment; at the same time, some shops in Xiamen do not accept foreign exchange renminbi, but only accept renminbi, Taiwan compatriots buy air tickets and live in air, hotels need to pay foreign exchange renminbi, and they have to pay in renminbi for food and food, so Taiwan compatriots who often come to the mainland like to exchange butter, thinking that it is both more convenient and more exchanged.

The other kind of people who exchange the new Taiwan dollar are just for the black market circulation in Fujian.

Although Xiamen is a big market for speculating in the new Taiwan dollar, it is not a place to directly use the new Taiwan dollar, because Xiamen is very close to Kinmen, and it is difficult to smuggle at sea, and at the same time, Taiwan needs to make a customs declaration when it comes to Xiamen, and the entry and exit management is strict, while the sea trend in Shishi and Jinjiang is active, and the smugglers will transport the purchased new Taiwan dollars to the sea, buy fabrics, daily necessities, household appliances, and other things from the Taiwan ship, and then transport them back to the mainland to get rid of them, and then use the collected renminbi to buy the new Taiwan dollars, and so on and so on.
