Chapter 878 Exchange for Foreign Exchange
"Excuse me, is your manager Wang Shi?" Duan Yun asked the waitress after walking around the exhibition hall.

Duan Yun himself is not interested in the imported office supplies sold here, the most important thing is that he wants to ask about foreign exchange.

"Yes, our manager is Wang Shi." The waitress replied politely.

"I have a business I want to discuss with him, is he here now?" Duan Yun asked.

"I'm really sorry, Manager Wang is not here now, if you like any office supplies, you can talk to our sales manager..."

"I'm not interested in the products in this showroom, do you understand what I mean?" Duan Yun frowned, and then said: "I have tens of millions of business, and I want to talk to your Manager Wang, if he is not here, then forget it ..."

"Wait!" The waitress looked Duan Yun up and down after hearing the words, and asked, "Which unit do you work for, sir?"

"Have you ever heard of Tianyin Electronics Factory? The Tianyin subwoofer speaker broadcast on CCTV is a product of our factory. I am Duan Yun, the director of this factory." Duan Yun handed a business card to the woman while speaking. waiter.

"Ah, so you are the director of Tianyin Electronics Factory." After taking Duan Yun's business card and glanced at it, the young waitress immediately became more respectful, and he continued: "Director Duan plz follow me."

"En." Duan Yun responded, and followed the waitress into the third floor.

The third floor is an office area. There are more than a dozen employees working in it. The sounds of phones and copiers keep coming and going, making it very busy.

"Director Duan, please sit down. I will inform Manager Wang myself." The waitress arranged for Duan Yun to sit in the reception room, then turned and left the room.

After a few minutes, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a white shirt and a striped tie appeared at the door.

Duan Yun took a closer look and found that this person was indeed Wang Shi, but the difference from the image of Wang Shi that appeared in the media in later generations was that Wang Shi still had hair at this time, and he looked very young and capable.

"Hello, Director Duan!" Before Duan Yun could say anything, Wang Shi walked towards Duan Yun's outstretched hand immediately.

"Hello, Manager Wang." Duan Yun also shook his hand with a smile on his face.

Although Wang Shi at this time has not become a tycoon in the real estate industry like later generations, in fact he already has a net worth of several million, and he is definitely a genuinely successful person in this era.

"I've heard of your name, Director Duan, for a long time. I really didn't expect you to be so young. You really are a hero..." Wang Shi said enthusiastically to Duan Yun.

"Manager Wang, have you heard of me?" Duan Yun stared at each other for a moment.

"Didn't your factory advertise on TV? In addition, I also read about your deeds in newspapers. I heard that your factory's audio products were very popular at the Canton Fair last month and won several prizes. Millions of orders..." Wang Shi said with a smile on his face.

"You even know about this?" Hearing this, Duan Yun couldn't believe it.

You know, there is no internet in this era, and all kinds of information are not developed, but Wang Shi actually knew about the order he got at the Canton Fair, which really made him a little unbelievable.

"I focus on the Canton Fair every year. To do business like ours, you must keep your eyes open and listen to all directions. The more informed you are, the better your business will be. Every Canton Fair will have a briefing. This spring, I already I saw the name of your Tianyin Electronics Factory in the briefing, a private electronics factory can win orders worth millions of dollars, I don't think I can pay attention..." Wang Shi said with a smile.

"So that's how it is." Hearing this, Duan Yun immediately understood.

Obviously, what Wang Shi is doing now is import and export business, and the needs of foreign merchants are also the focus of his attention. The transaction records of each Canton Fair are of very important reference value to him, and Duan Yun is indeed an alternative at the Canton Fair. , because domestic private companies can participate in the Canton Fair, which is very rare in itself, and Duan Yun's private electronics factory can also obtain large orders at the Canton Fair. among.

"Manager Duan can set up an electronic factory by himself, and he can also successfully earn foreign exchange through export. This is really a remarkable thing. Moreover, I just found out about Manager Duan today. You are so young. It really opened my eyes..." Wang Shi There was a bit of compliment in the tone, obviously intending to get close to Duan Yuntao.

"Actually, I'm just a small company, not as big as Boss Wang." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "This time I came to your company because of the name, and I want to do business with you... ..."

"Manager Duan just tell me what he wants to buy. Our company has been in contact with Hong Kong all year round. We can buy all kinds of imported office equipment, including Japanese and American ones, mainly from Japan..." Wang Shi said bluntly.

"I don't need office equipment for the time being, that's it. I heard that your company can get foreign exchange retention..." Duan Yun deliberately lowered his voice when he said this.

"How many tens of thousands of dollars do you want to exchange?" To Duan Yun's surprise, Wang Shi seemed to have no shyness about this matter, and asked Duan Yun directly.

"I want to start with $200 million." Duan Yun said.

Duan Yun currently has a great demand for foreign exchange, because he may introduce some imported technical equipment for his factory in the next step. 200 million US dollars is already a considerable amount in this era, and he can buy a lot of imported materials, and The difference between now and before is that before Duan Yun’s labor service company wanted to import equipment and materials, it was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but now Duan Yun runs a private electronics factory, and the import and export issues can only be handled by himself. When dealing directly with foreign businessmen, many things cannot be done without US dollars and foreign currencies.

At present, there are more than 1000 million in Duan Yun's account. In addition to paying back to the bank, he still has about 700 million in cash, and at present, there are still about 200 million in net profit every month. Duan Yun wants to save enough for the current maintenance. The working capital of the factory operation, and the rest of the money are all converted into US dollars.

"200 million U.S. dollars?" Hearing this, Wang Shi suddenly showed embarrassment, only to hear him continue: "Our company currently does not have so much foreign exchange reserves, and we have sold a lot of them a while ago, and now it is only 120 million U.S. dollars, and if If you want to buy it, the exchange rate is 4.2:1..."

"Then I want all the foreign exchange!" Duan Yuan said almost without thinking.

Although the current domestic foreign exchange rate is a few points to one to two, in fact, the domestic black market foreign exchange rate is 1:8 or even 1:10. Although the exchange rate given by Wang Shi is almost twice as high as the national foreign exchange rate, but In fact, this price is not considered black, and there are not many companies in Shenzhen that are really capable of exchanging this kind of foreign exchange retention...
