National Tide 1980.

Chapter 848 The Middleman

After arranging the affairs of his subordinates, Ning Weimin finally didn't need to be distracted, and began to concentrate on his own procedures for going abroad.

Since Pierre Carton also has a branch in Tokyo, he took a business visa.

In addition, his Japanese level is already quite good, and he can contact the Pilkardon branch in Tokyo for related matters.

So things went well.

On the contrary, Song Huagui was about to lead eleven selected models to go abroad to perform in Paris, and encountered a lot of trouble.

For nothing else, this time going abroad is an official visa, which can be regarded as a political task, and there are many units that need to approve and stamp.

The family situation of each girl is not the same, and it is a troublesome thing to prepare materials and go through the political review.

Doesn't it take a lot of effort to get a passport?

In addition, the superior also made an additional instruction, asking the models to make a cheongsam to wear out, hoping to dazzle foreigners with our classic national costumes.

The shoddy things are definitely not good, they must be made of high-end materials and high-end workmanship, and they must be rushed according to the different figures of each model.

So recently, Song Huagui has devoted almost all of his time and thoughts to this matter.

He was so busy that he didn't have much time to listen to Ning Weimin's work report before leaving.

She didn't even take Ning Weimin's suggestion to repay the company and persuade her to exchange part of the company's working capital into Japanese yen.

So while waiting in the capital for Zou Guodong's return from Shanghai to take over, Ning Weimin could only take care of himself first.

He tried his best to pool the funds he could get together, and planned to exchange them into Japanese yen through various channels as soon as possible.

And his main hope was placed on Zeng Xianzi.

As mentioned earlier, at the beginning of June, gold lighters were selling well.

Overjoyed, Zeng Xianzi not only reached a new cooperative relationship with Ning Weimin.

And at that time, in order to repay Ning Weimin, he even promised to help him exchange a large amount of Japanese currency.

But after that, Zeng Xianzi has been running around in his hometown in the south, busy with managing the thriving business in Hong Kong City, Huacheng, and Shenzhen, and seems to have forgotten to fulfill his promise.

So at this moment, Ning Weimin really couldn't wait.

On the grounds that gold lighters need to be imported to arrange production, Zeng Xianzi was urged to go north as soon as possible.

To be honest, his little thought was too obvious, and Zeng Xianzi could tell at a glance that he was showing favor.

But the problem is that he is purely forced by the situation, and there is nothing he can do about it.

You must know that foreign exchange in mainland China is not only scarce these days, but it is not easy to exchange in the first place.

What's more, it is also catching up with the wave of investigations of "bad masters" in society.

Now in the capital, even those "scalpers" who usually hang around foreign-related places like flies every day have almost disappeared.

Seeing that the Plaza Accord is only two months away, how could Ning Weimin not be worried?
With so much cash in his hand, how much can he exchange just by chatting with foreigners?

Not to mention the domestic environment, the more difficult it is to exchange, the higher the price of this foreign exchange will rise.

I heard that for people who want to go abroad recently, the black market price of exchanging dollars has jumped to [-]:[-].

If Ning Weimin really waited until after the Plaza Accord before exchanging yen, the principal would not have doubled, but would have shrunk by half for no reason.

Think about it, can he take such a big loss?

Where did the inside and outside go?

Could it be that he died before he left the school!

Therefore, comparing the two powers, Ning Weimin can only appear a little petty.

In this way, at the invitation of Ning Weimin who "didn't want to drink", Zeng Xianzi woke up in time.

Soon, he rushed to the capital with enough movement and raw materials to produce [-] gold lighters.

Then, under Ning Weimin's matchmaking, they quickly reached an agreement with the gold wire inlay factory in Beijing on processing styles and production costs, and signed an OEM contract.

He finally had time to help Ning Weimin with this favor.

However, what happened later was a bit different from what Ning Weimin thought.

Originally, Ning Weimin thought that Zeng Xianzi would use the convenience of his Hong Kong-funded company to operate this trip.

In this case, you can also make some money from it.

Unexpectedly, on the day of currency exchange, Zeng Xianzi just called him and asked him to bring the check or bank deposit slip to be exchanged and drive to the lobby lounge of the Great Wall Hotel to meet.

It wasn't until the two sides actually met that Zeng Xianzi whispered to him face to face that he would go to a company upstairs to exchange currency for him.

The exchange rate between RMB and Japanese Yen is one to sixty.

He also asked him not to talk too much, and just listen to his own arrangements for a while.

Co-author Zeng Xianzi is only a middleman!

It has to be said that Ning Weimin was quite surprised by this.

He didn't expect that Zeng Xianzi would not make money and pretend to be someone else.

But he has no worries about such a transaction.

For nothing else, he relies on the close cooperation between Goldlion and Pilkardon.

To put it bluntly, if he was deceived, it would mean that Zeng Xianzi personally destroyed the foundation of cooperation between the two companies, and the losses to the two companies would be immeasurable.

No one could do such a foolish thing.

What's more, this exchange ratio is quite satisfactory, and Ning Weimin was overjoyed after silently calculating.

You know, the current international exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen is [-]:[-].

This is equivalent to Zeng Xianzi promising him that he can exchange RMB for US dollars at a ratio of one to four.

Although the current domestic official price of USD to RMB is only [-]:[-], the adjusted price is [-]:[-].

But the question is, can anyone get the official price and the adjusted price without any means?

Not to mention that he brought three large checks in his hand, this time he planned to eat a fat man with one bite.

He is not that greedy and knows the value of time.

As long as it is cheaper than the black market price and all the money in his hand can be exchanged, it is suitable for him.

So, without further ado, Ning Weimin followed Zeng Xianzi to the executive floor of the Great Wall Hotel by taking the elevator.

Standing behind him without any doubt, watching him knock on the door of a room with the nameplate of "Gangcheng Xinjia Business Co., Ltd."

Inside this executive suite, it really looks like a Hong Kong-funded company.

Office desks and chairs, telephones, fax machines, copiers, and busy office workers are all available, which looks very formal.

And it even has its own security guards.

It seemed that the person who opened the door was a tall man in a black suit who was responsible for guarding the door.

He chattered a few words with Zeng Xianzi first in Cantonese, as if he had verified their identities before leading them inside.

When he walked to the door of the inner room, unexpectedly, there was another man in a suit with a handle here.

It can be said that there are layers of fortifications and strict guards.

But after the door of this room was opened, the scene in the room made Ning Weimin immediately realize the necessity of such measures.

Because on the sofa in the corner of the room, there is a man and a woman, taking out a piece of paper from an open suitcase, counting and recording it attentively.

One person ordered US dollars, and the other ordered Hong Kong dollars.

According to Ning Weimin's visual inspection, the amount of foreign currency in front of the two of them alone is not small, worth at least 80 million RMB.

This is indeed worth someone's risky robbery in the mainland.

And obviously, this company still seems to be quite prosperous, and it is definitely not short of money.

What was even more surprising was that the real person in charge in this room was not the middle-aged greasy man Ning Weimin had imagined.

The person sitting behind the executive desk turned out to be a tall, intellectual beauty.

In his early thirties, wearing professional suits, glasses, and foreign-style makeup, his image was outstanding.

When the beauty saw them, she stood up and greeted them with a smile.

He extended his hand enthusiastically, and shook hands with Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin in turn.

However, the beauty didn't say a word about the transaction that the two parties were going to make, and she didn't introduce herself to Ning Weimin.

She just looked at Zeng Xianzi with a smile, and there was something in her eyes.

So Zeng Xianzi tacitly agreed.

Immediately asked Ning Weimin to take out the foreign bank account number and the domestic check and hand them over to this beauty.

As for Ning Weimin, by now he had somewhat understood.

I vaguely realized that I probably came to a shadow bank, which is the legendary underground money house.

Of course, he remembered Zeng Xianzi's instructions in advance, and without asking any further questions, he quickly filled out a form, writing down the name of the bank that needs to be remitted by the other party and a long list of numbers.

This is the bank account number of Agricole Suez that the master opened for him.

The 100 francs for selling the patent of Yilade are in it.

The beauty looked at the bank's name and account number, and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

She said in Mandarin with a Hong Kong accent that Agricole Suez Bank also has a branch in Hong Kong City, and the remittance can be made on the same day.

However, when she picked up the three checks that Ning Weimin handed over, there was an unexpected reaction, and she even showed embarrassment.

"There are too many, I'm afraid I can't get in. Our company's traffic in the mainland is limited. Unfortunately, I have already handed over a lot of bills this month. This time, I suddenly put in so much RMB and paid out so much. vote. It would arouse suspicion."

Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin were taken aback when they heard this.

Especially Zeng Xianzi looked at Ning Weimin with embarrassment and felt that he had lost face.

"Don't be kidding, how can you guys who specialize in this kind of business can't afford it? We are old friends. Do you think that the price is low, so you say that on purpose? It's a big deal for the next business, I'll give you more profit. But this business was introduced by me, you must give me face."

Zeng Xianzi probably thought it was the beautiful woman who made an excuse to avoid it, so he was so dissatisfied.

The beauty hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Zeng, how could I not give you face? In fact, in our business, we really hope that the amount of customers' transactions will be large. The bigger the money, the more profit we can make. But the rumors in mainland China are very tight now. In our business, the current environment is very bad. Okay. The sum of the checks brought by your friend is 750 million RMB. Even if it is converted into Hong Kong dollars at the black market price, it is 200 million. This is not a small amount, please don’t make things difficult for me. We really Can't bear it."

"What? So many!"

Now it was Zeng Xianzi's turn to be surprised, and looking at Ning Weimin, he obviously hesitated.

"Brother, this... is this all your money?"

He originally thought that Ning Weimin's personal financial resources were limited, and he could only exchange one or two million yuan at most.

Whoever imagined it is such a huge sum of money.

In Hong Kong City, 1000 million is enough to buy a big factory.

It is indeed too easy to draw attention to the fact that such a large amount of money from the mainland is transferred into and out of the accounts of Hong Kong-funded companies.

It is not surprising that beautiful women have concerns.

"You can't say that. In fact, only some of them belong to me, and the main ones belong to the public. You know, I go out for both public and private purposes."

Ning Weimin was actually modest.

Among the three checks, two of them were his personal income settled by Huaxia Audio-Visual Company, which was as high as 500 million.

The other 250 million, although it is the capital raised by the overseas establishment of Tangong Restaurant, theoretically belongs to the public.

But don't forget that Ning Weimin still has a lot of cash from selling stamps.

My own dark position earned 500 million, and the group's open position was divided into five 10,000+.

Even if you don’t count the money left in Shanghai and Huacheng that you can’t bring back for the time being, there are about 490 million.

If the 200 million upfront cost of making the tapes is deducted, and 70 will be rewarded to his subordinates, there will be 220 million left.

In the end, plus the income earned by the garment factory and the three brand stores in the past two months, there will always be around 300 million.

This is not even counting the additional 100 million tapes that will be brought to him in the future.
So in fact, Ning Weimin was just afraid of the trouble of cash, so he brought the check for convenience.

After embezzling the altar palace money, he can use his own money to make up for it later, and then try to exchange it into Japanese currency through official channels.

And Zeng Xianzi is a real person, he believed it when he heard it.

He also thought that the mainland's financial control is so strict that even public funds have to be exchanged in private accounts to be taken out.

Naturally, he didn't want to disappoint Ning Weimin, so he tried to put pressure on the beauty.

"We brought all the checks. Don't you want us to take them back like this? Isn't it a joke that restaurant owners are afraid of big belly men? Can you think of a way to digest it."

"Mr. Zeng, I'm sorry. Our current ability to cash checks is really limited. We can cash the 300 million check at most. The 200 million and 250 million checks can only be cashed next month. If you are really in a hurry If it is money, there is another way, that is, if you don’t pay the bill, you have to be responsible for converting the check into cash, and then hand it over to us!”

It was okay not to mention the last method, but Zeng Xianzi was even angrier when he mentioned it.

He felt that the beauty's words were unreasonable and completely inconsistent with normal logic.

"You put it bluntly, what is the financial environment in mainland China? Exchange so much cash from the bank, 450 million? Is it possible? We can do it, so do we still need to find you? Besides, we can exchange it, all in ten yuan face value Yes, how much is that, almost the same as a mountain? How to move it? How to count it?"

However, the beauty is indeed gone.

"Mr. Zeng, I also understand your difficulties, but this is really the only way. If you have a way to provide cash, I can even decide to exchange it with you at an exchange rate of 65:[-] today. It's an apology. As for Please don’t worry about moving and counting banknotes. We are professionals and have our own way of dealing with these problems.”

So Zeng Xianzi could only look at Ning Weimin apologetically, and let him make his own decision.

Who knew that it was actually in Ning Weimin's arms.

Instead of worrying about it, he happily agreed, and what he said was even more bluffing.

"Okay then, I'll cash one check for 300 million yuan first. I'll send someone to ask you to cash the other two checks next month. Speaking of it, it's actually only a dozen days. But I have the cash in my hand." There are really some, so-so 300 million. Can I exchange it when I ship it over?"

For this reason, Zeng Xianzi and the beauty were all surprised.

A nod, "Yes, but such a large cash transaction, we have to change places. Mr. Ning, a powerful client like you. I hope to have a long-term cooperation with you. If you don't mind, I will introduce you to our boss. How about meeting?"

Another said, "Brother, are you kidding me? You can take out 300 million cash if you say so? You have already caught up with the cash reserves of a branch..."
