Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 278 Dealing with Chinese is Trouble

Niu Xiaoqiang was surprised: "Didn't you say that studying abroad at public expense can get state funding?"

Zhang Guangmao explained: "The state only helps to pay the tuition fees in advance, and the living expenses have to be settled by the foreign students themselves. After they go abroad, they all work outside to support themselves. Xiaolan has never done any housework since she was a child. I was worried that she would not be able to bear the hardship, so I thought Try to help her solve this problem."

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang understand, and he nodded: "Okay, I will tell Professor Watson about this matter, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I don't know how high the exchange rate you are willing to offer?"

Zhang Guangmao is considered a relatively clean leader. He has never made money for himself through the power in his hands. Coupled with his strong management skills, he was appreciated by the leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum and was directly promoted to two levels.

The money he was going to exchange for dollars was a reward from the Ministry of Petroleum.As the wealthiest unit in the country at present, the Ministry of Petroleum should seek benefits for its employees.

According to relevant regulations, as long as the children of the employees of the Ministry are admitted to university, the Ministry will reward a sum of money to encourage them; if any child can study abroad, the Ministry of Petroleum will award more money. First-class universities have even higher bonuses.

Xiaolan got the highest amount of bonus, a total of 2 yuan.According to the official price, 2 RMB can be exchanged for 1000 US dollars.But at present, the country has strict control over foreign exchange, and the card is very tight. It took Zhang Guangmao a lot of effort to exchange it to more than [-] US dollars, and no more will be enough.

He still had 6000 yuan in RMB left in his hand. In order to save his daughter from suffering, Zhang Guangmao had no intention of withholding it. He directly handed over the bonus he got in advance to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Here is a total of 6000 yuan. Money, you can exchange as much money as you can for me, no matter what the result is, uncle has no strange words."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help being moved when he saw that Zhang Guangmao trusted him so much.This is 6000 yuan, not one yuan and sixty cents. Not everyone can trust people like Zhang Guangmao.

Niu Xiaoqiang pushed back the bag containing the RMB to Zhang Guangmao, and nodded seriously: "Uncle, don't worry, I will negotiate with Professor Watson properly, and ask him to hand over the US dollars directly to you when he returns home." , when the time comes, you can just hand over the RMB to him, and you don’t need to change hands from me.”

This can be regarded as a means of protection, which completely shows that Niu Xiaoqiang has no possibility of profiting from the middle.

Zhang Guangmao sighed again and again: "You child, although you are young, but you are open-minded in doing things, don't say anything, you will be my nephew of Zhang Guangmao from now on!"

Originally, Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Guangmao came together because of interest factors. After all these things, the relationship between the two parties has gradually broken away from the frame of interest and transformed into a heart-to-heart friend.

"Thank you uncle for your attention. No matter where you are transferred from now on, we will always keep in touch. This friendship will definitely continue. I will go first, goodbye."

Just as Niu Xiaoqiang was about to get in the car, Xiaolan approached him.Under the guidance of Niu Xiaoqiang, her English level has improved a lot these days.In order to thank Niu Xiaoqiang for his great help, Xiao Lan specially prepared a gift.

She handed a wrapped gift box to Niu Xiaoqiang, "Xiaoqiang, this is a gadget I made with my own hands, please accept it."

When Niu Xiaoqiang heard that she had made it herself, he accepted it with a smile without any refusal.

After Watson and Yu Simei got into the car, Niu Xiaoqiang waved goodbye to Zhang Guangmao and his daughter.They waited until the car turned around the intersection and could no longer be seen, then the father and daughter turned around.

Zhang Guangmao suddenly asked Xiaolan such a question: "Girl, what do you think of Xiaoqiang?"

Xiaolan said casually: "He's fine, Dad, why are you asking this?"

Zhang Guangmao said with a joking smile: "Dad also thinks he is very good, and he will definitely be number one in the future. I really want to be his father-in-law."

Xiaolan didn't realize it for a while: "If you want to be the one, just tell me what to do—"

When she said this, she finally understood, turned her head and gave Zhang Guangmao a look, and walked away humming.

Zhang Guangmao laughed. After being oppressed by this girl for so many years, he felt elated at this moment.

In the car, Watson sat in the passenger cab.He is tall and tall, and the space in the Japanese car is a bit small, which made Watson unable to straighten his legs and fidgeted a little bit.

Niu Xiaoqiang and Yu Simei sat in the back row, watching the gift from Xiaolan.This is a radio, the appearance is a little old, it is estimated that Xiaolan assembled it with old parts.

Yu Simei couldn't help sighing: "Xiaolan is really good, she can even pretend to be a radio."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "In terms of electronic equipment, she is really good, and I am ashamed of that."

Watson, who was a little restless, heard the two talking and couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoqiang, what are you talking about?"

Niu Xiaoqiang handed the radio to Watson: "We are talking about this radio, which was assembled by Xiaolan herself."

Watson was not very interested in the radio, so he handed the radio back to Niu Xiaoqiang after he glanced at it.

Niu Xiaoqiang remembered what Zhang Guangmao explained, and asked, "Professor, there is something I would like to ask you for."

"whats the matter?"

"If there is no accident, Xiaolan will go abroad to study soon. When she goes to the United States, she can only use U.S. dollars. His father entrusted me to help exchange some U.S. dollars. I only know you as an American, so I can only find you."

This is just a piece of cake for Watson. He brought tens of thousands of dollars in cash to China this time, but he lives in the United States all year round and has no use for RMB at all.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Of course it's not impossible, but RMB is useless to me. How about this? I'll put the exchanged RMB in your hands. You can use this money to entertain me when you come to China. What?" Let's talk when the time runs out, do you think it's okay?"

Naturally, Niu Xiaoqiang would not object: "Okay, what kind of exchange rate do you think is more appropriate?"

Watson knew the exchange rate on the black market, and Niu Xiaoqiang was not very good at forcing him to exchange at the official exchange rate, so he asked this question.

Watson smiled wryly and shook his head: "Since you are the one who spoke, how could I be ashamed not to give you some discounts? Sigh, dealing with Chinese people is really too troublesome. You like to involve human relationships in everything you do. I'm afraid of you." , what you say is what it is."

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed: "That's what you said, I didn't force you, or you can exchange it at a five-to-one exchange rate, if it's too little, you'll suffer, if it's too much, I'm embarrassed to explain it to others , five to one belongs to the middle price, which can just achieve a balance."

　Thank you book friend "Li Sheng C" for rewarding and supporting again and again, bow!
