Chapter 512 Knife and Knife from New York
The next day, Nanyi and Ye Jing met at the door of the Friendship Store, Ye Jing took out the foreign exchange certificate from his body and raised it, and the two walked in hand in hand.
The janitor at the door of the store didn't care or ask.
Today's Friendship Store is no longer exclusive to foreign guests. In theory, anyone who holds foreign exchange certificates can walk in. All customers who use foreign exchange certificates to shop are welcome here.
In September 1980, the Beijing Daily published a short commentary titled “The sign “Only for Foreign Guests and Overseas Chinese” should be removed.” Later, some Chinese people obtained some foreign exchange certificates from overseas relatives and friends, or sold foreign exchange on hand. To the country, a certain amount of foreign exchange certificates is returned.
In this context, Friendship Stores are gradually opened to ordinary people with restrictions, and foreign exchange certificates have become a special pass for people to enter "Friendship".
This is the official statement. In fact, according to the situation in Nanyi, the foreigners have stayed in the country for a long time and have figured out the consumption level here.
In addition, shops, hotels, and restaurants can always encounter Chinese people who secretly come to them to exchange foreign exchange. In the beginning, they exchanged at a slightly higher than the official price. Now, they directly exchange at a slightly lower than the black market.
Foreigners who have renminbi in their hands naturally know to spend in places where renminbi is spent, and the holders of foreign exchange certificates have changed invisibly.
You said, the foreign exchange certificates are concentrated in the hands of Chinese people. If they are not put in for shopping, the foreign exchange certificates will not be circulated. So what is the point of printing this thing?
Just last month, in June, the Friendship Store also launched "Night Market Coupons", which are open to Chinese people at a fixed time in the evening.
Night market coupons are about the same size as food stamps. They are a piece of yellow paper with the words "Night Market Coupons" mimeographed on them. Like foreign exchange coupons, they have become a hot item for scalpers to buy and sell.
Bragging also needs to have something to say, if you brag to your friends: "I watched the NBA last night, that Beckham of the Manchester United team made a three-pointer and the lore is so fucking handsome..."
If this kind of bullshit is blown out, how much will you lose?
Whether you want to come to the Friendship Store to see something new, or to accumulate bragging capital for yourself, if you are cruel, stomp your feet, spend some money, get a coupon from the scalper, and go to the Friendship Store to see and see, you can’t sleep all night with excitement. Er Tian, with scarlet eyeballs, catches someone bragging in class.
Accidentally blowing the bull's head too much, someone snapped and took out the savings of several years to buy a washing machine, a refrigerator, etc... Oh my god, I'm blind!
In fact, this year, more than 70% of the sales of the Friendship Store began to be contributed by Chinese people. Whoever made the Chinese people either buy large electrical appliances, or "buy goods" at the tobacco and alcohol counters.
Among today's losers, in addition to dumping approval documents, only those who dump cigarettes make money.
"I'm going to the alcohol and tobacco counter, how about you?" Walking into the Friendship Store, Ye Qi turned around and asked Nan Yi.
"I'll go to the handicraft counter to see if there's anything for sale."
"Aren't you sick? Just buy a tickle when you come here."
"What do you care about? I have a lot of money, so I'll burn it." Nan Yi spat, and went to the handicraft counter.
The day before yesterday, Liu Zhen accidentally dropped a scratcher made of Hetian jade on the ground. Without this thing, Nan Yi's sleep was affected. No matter what time it was, when Liu Zhen's back felt itchy, Nan Yi would wake up Scratch her.
Yesterday, when Ye Qian said that he was coming to the Friendship Store, Nan Yi wanted to come and look for it, to see if he could find something similar.
Liu Zhenyong of Hetian Yu is used to it, and Nanyi can't send her away with a bamboo one.
Nanyi looked at several counters, and only saw a suspected itchy object at one counter. The material should be carved from ivory, and the patterns on it were very delicate. It took a long time to distinguish them before Nanyi understood the carving It should be a water phoenix [Jaque].
"It's strange, what's wrong with carving, but carving a water phoenix, not many people know about this thing."
Nan Yi muttered, and said to the salesperson: "Miss, show me this ivory tickle."
Talk about people when you see people, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts, and the Friendship Store says Hong Kong Pu, which can save some trouble.
"Sir, this is not an itch, this is an ivory tobacco rod." The salesperson replied, first took out a piece of cloth and spread it on the counter glass, and then took out the ivory tobacco rod and placed it on it.
Nan Yi leaned over and looked at it for a while, then directly picked up the doily, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Miss, how much is it?"
"Two hundred and seventy dollars."
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, wrap it up for me, I'll buy it."
After slapping the money on the counter, Nanyi waited for the salesperson to issue a receipt, checked both the name of the product and the seal, and received the receipt after confirming that it was correct.
Nanyi should keep this receipt carefully, otherwise, if the ivory tobacco rod is not neatly arranged in a few years, it will turn into yellow mud in the crotch.
After buying good things, Nanyi didn't bother to go shopping anymore, so he walked out of the Friendship Store and found a side seat at the door to wait for Ye Qian to come out.
Nan Yi leaned his back against the wall, looked around, and saw a Toyota sedan on the road that hadn't registered a license plate, pausing and jumping forward like a toad.
Seeing the big red flowers tied on the rearview mirrors [not by the window] on both sides of the front cover of the car, Nan Yi thought that this car should be newly bought, but he didn't know how many private cars it was in China.
So far, domestic private individuals do not have the right to buy a car, and they have to apply to buy a car, and it is impossible for "ordinary people" to get approval.
Just in March of this year, a peasant woman who raised chickens and sold eggs at the Beiqijia Commune in Beijing was specially approved to buy a car because of her advanced performance in selling tens of thousands of catties of fresh eggs to the state. She became the first in the country. A farmer with a private car.
This incident was quite a sensation, both the "Mouthpiece" and the "Associated Press" had reported it.
The car in front of me dare to wear red and hang colors, and I guess it can be put on the table to talk about it, but I don't know if it belongs to private people.
"What are you looking at?"
Ye Qian was holding a box of Moutai in his hand, and there were three cigarettes on the box.
"Looking at the car, have you seen it? A new Toyota, it only costs 10,000 yuan after all the procedures are completed. How about getting one?"
"Get one? This is a car, not paper. You can do it if you want. My buddy is not so flirtatious. Hurry up, Mr. Sun is grinning, and he will burn people in a while."
Nanyi thought for a while and said, "Can you drive?"
"Yes, why not, when I was in the army, the Great Liberation was held."
"That's fine, I won't send you to Qinghe, you come with me, I'll give you the whole car to drive first."
"Nan Batian, aren't you coughing with your buddies?" Ye Qi couldn't help asking.
"Beating sex, I'm not giving you a gift, but I'm letting you drive first. When our Qinghe International Company is registered, the company will also have a car, and you will drive it then."
"It's a good relationship, and my buddy is also in a car."
Nanyi took Ye Kai to the foreign-related office building, handed over an idle car to Ye Kai, and gave him a stack of fuel tickets.
Ye Xing drove the car and rushed to Qinghe happily.
...
During the day, Nanyi ran around, and near night, he found a place to eat something, and rushed to the Workers' Stadium.
A few days ago, the Great Wall Cup International Football Championship was going on, and Nanyi didn't have time to watch it. There was a friendly match with Yin Lang tonight, and he didn't want to miss it.
As soon as the game started, the Hua Guo team aggressively pressed towards Yin Lang's half court. The four King Kongs threw the ball backwards to each other, and in the blink of an eye, they sent the ball to Yin Lang's penalty area.
In the Nehru Gold Cup, Bantam, who was awarded the title of Hua Guo Football Hero, dribbled the ball forward desperately. After attracting the attention of the Yin Lang team players, he unexpectedly passed the ball to the four king kong One of the number 2.
Bantam is amazing, relying on his key goal, he won the last World Cup champion Argentina team, creating the history of the Hua Guo team winning the world champion team.
No. 2 moved the ball forward, looked at Yin Lang's team's goal, knocked the ball with his left foot, and rolled the ball straight towards Yin Lang's team's goal in a daze.
The ball went in!
A goal was scored, and people in every corner of the stand shouted the faint slogan "Hua Guoxiong, Huaguo football rises". Some people followed the rhythm, and slowly more people joined in. In the end, the entire stand It was all loud shouts.
In the ear-splitting shout, Nan Yi turned his head to Xian Xiuyun who was beside him and said, "How much did you pay for the fabrication?"
"ah?"
"I said how much it cost for these entrustments." Nan Yi said with a raised voice.
Xian Xiuyun leaned into Nanyi's ear and said, "It's not money, I just gave them tickets."
"The village is too busy, and I called you back from New York to help me. You won't have any objections to me, will you?"
"How could it be? I haven't been back to China for a long time. I wish I could come back for a few days. Besides, isn't Xiongqi the biggest project in the village this year? I should come back and contribute a little bit."
"It's fine if you don't have an opinion."
While watching the game, Nan Yi talked to Xian Xiuyun, but after watching for a while, he didn't bother to watch.
After scoring a goal, the Yin Lang team panicked for a while and stabilized their position. They kept running and passing and cutting. The ball kept spinning in the Hua Guo team's half, and they even shot a threatening shot from time to time.
It's just that the Yin Lang team was almost unlucky, and the ball couldn't get into the net.
"Friendly match, then it's time for garbage." Nanyi sighed, turned around and continued to talk to Xian Xiuyun: "What do you think, come back immediately after graduation, or plan to hang around abroad first, and wait for an internationally famous The title of designer is coming back?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet, but Calvin Klein of CK personally gave me an offer, wanting me to work in CK after graduation."
"Is he your senior brother?"
"Yes, he graduated from our school."
"It's about your future, you have to think about it carefully. I'll tell you about some things, as long as you know it yourself, don't tell others."
"Brother Nanyi, tell me, I will definitely not tell others." Xian Xiuyun agreed.
"Maybe in five years, maybe eight years, Wenchangwei will take the route of combining the joint-stock system and the contracting system. Most of the enterprises in the village will be contracted by individuals in the village in the future. As long as a certain amount of contracting fees are paid to the village every year, the remaining All money earned belongs to the individual contractor.”
"Ah? Contracting? How will the welfare system in the village continue?"
"Not all enterprises are engaged in contracting. There will be one or two enterprises left in the village. Besides, there are contracting fees. In addition, I have other plans in my mind. If we fail, we Wenchangwei people will become one by one in the future. Charterers and charterers.
So, even though the village spent money to send you to study in New York, you don’t have to have the idea of returning to work in the village to repay the village. Just invest in one share of the company. "
"Brother Nanyi, are you dissatisfied with some people in the village?" Xian Xiuyun asked quietly.
"I can't talk about it. It's just the general trend of the world. After a long time, we must reunite and divide. This is a marriage, and brothers all live in separate families, let alone just a ancestral hall. It is said that there is no need to worry about inequality, but it is a bowl of water. Even, it may not be able to satisfy everyone's hearts. This big pot of rice can't last long."
"After the contract, brother, don't you care?"
"Haha, ten years from now, our first generation of land reclamation old guys should also retire to the second line. It's time for your generation to step up to the front and lead Wenchangwei to continue down."
"Hehehe, brother, how old are you? Ten years from now, won't you be in your early thirties?"
"It has nothing to do with age. In the eyes of your generation, Weimin and I belong to the previous generation. In the 1990s, you will be the new generation of the 1990s. It's your turn to carry the big flag."
In the 1990s, Nanyi would really retreat to the second line in Wenchangwei, and let Fan Hongdou accompany them to continue playing.
"Okay, let's not talk about the future, let's focus on the present. The Olympic Games will start on July 28 and end on August 12. Once the Olympic Games are over, if there are no accidents, Xiongqi Drinks will become popular in China.
As for the factory, the village committee had already discussed that it should not be built in the village. After looking for several candidate sites, it has not yet decided where to build the factory.
Go back tomorrow, visit several places, then choose the one you like the most, and give me a reason for your choice. "
"Okay, my plane will fly back tomorrow." Xian Xiuyun said.
"Well, don't watch it, the ball is upside down, and there is no shot. I'll try to see if I can get the ticket refunded." Nan Yi stood up, dusted his back and said.
"It's no wonder people will retreat."
"If you don't retreat, I will cry for them." Nanyi said, walking further and further away.
Xian Xiuyun looked at Nan Yi's back, blinked her eyes a few times, thoughtful.
...
"Cousin, why don't you eat?"
In the western restaurant of Friendship Hotel, Yang Shanqing and Yang Kaiyan were sitting opposite each other, savoring western food.
"Some time ago, I found a very good restaurant in New York. I ate a lot for several days and gained several pounds. I need to pay attention to my figure."
Being used to speaking English, Yang Kaiyan won't be able to switch for a while. When speaking, there will always be a few English words in Chinese that he won't be able to react in a while.
"Cousin, you know I can't recognize all twenty-six English letters, can you stop speaking English?"
"Sorry, I haven't gotten used to it for a while, Shan Qing, what have you been up to lately?"
"Me." Yang Kaiyan asked, right in Yang Shanqing's arms, "I'm working on a clothing wholesale market project recently. Over there in Qinghe Town, I've taken a fancy to two old factories in Changhe Woolen. into a wholesale market.
Cousin, the clothing business in various places in the capital is very good now, but there is no wholesale market. Either go to the International Zhuangnan Santiao, or go to Yangcheng and Shenzheng to buy goods. Once my clothing market opens, the business will definitely be very good.
but……"
"what?"
"I understand this word, cousin, you are doing nothing for me, right?" Yang Shanqing said excitedly.
Yang Kaiyan nodded and said: "Yes, but what?"
"Lack of money!"
"Do you want to borrow money from me, or do you want to borrow money from the bank through my father?"
"It doesn't matter what it is. I am very optimistic about the future of the clothing wholesale market. I believe that the money will be earned back soon."
"You are my younger brother. If you are short of money, I can give you tens of thousands at any time; but what you are talking about with me is a business. In business, I can't listen to your one-sided words and throw away money." I will lend you the money. Tomorrow morning, you will pick me up and take me to the Changhe wool spinning you mentioned."
"Okay, okay, cousin, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Yang Shanqing nodded hurriedly.
"Don't be too early, I just flew back and I have jet lag. At 9:30, you wait for me in the lobby. I'm tired, I'll go up first." After Yang Kaiyan finished speaking, she immediately stood up and left.
Nan Yi returned to the old bungalow, feeling a little hungry, so he went to the kitchen to fill half a bowl of cold rice, soaked it in boiling water, and ate the leftovers.
As he ate, he flipped through Moody in Afrikaans.
Nanyi's Afrikaans level can only be said to be from beginners to proficient. It is still a bit difficult to read novels, and I have to look through dictionaries from time to time.
"Nanyi, who are you pretending to work hard for? Eat quickly, and come watch TV with me after eating."
"You can say that I'm a fake, but you can't say that I don't study hard. Didn't you see that I was working hard to eat?" Nanyi pushed the dictionary aside and said.
"Okay, okay, you can work hard, now you work hard for me to eat, and in three minutes, come over and watch TV with me for those who work hard, and beat my legs for those who work hard."
"Float, keep on floating for me, the harder you float now, the harder you will fall in the future."
"Hmph, I don't float vigorously while you are letting out the line, but wait for you to float when you take it back in. Hurry up, come over and work hard when you finish working there."
"Okay, here we come."
