Chapter 56 Too late?

As long as there is a Friendship Store, it is not uncommon to find people to exchange foreign exchange coupons privately. Even the Port Authority has many people who exchange them through various channels.

However, people exchange foreign exchange coupons to go to Friendship Stores or foreign-related stores like the Sailors Club to buy some imported goods that cannot be bought in other stores.

If it is only used for consumption, the relevant departments usually turn a blind eye to it.

But if you make profits in this way, it is not only illegal but also suspected of crime.

Because of this, Han Yu had no sympathy for the two suspects who might come to exchange foreign exchange certificates.

Considering that if the two suspects really came, they would probably be active near the Friendship Store and the Sailors Club, Lao Liu simply asked Huang Jiangsheng to sit in the Volga sedan driven by Liu Guixiang, an investigator from the Criminal Investigation Department, and observe the passers-by opposite the Friendship Store.

Officer Xiao from the Publicity Department of the Port Authority sat on the "rabbit head" driven by Deputy Chief Zhou of the Criminal Investigation Department and squatted at the intersection of the Seamen's Club, while Han Yu followed Lao Liu into the Friendship Store.

There are many products, which are dazzling. The most popular one is the imported goods counter.

In recent years, rich people are really rich.

When Lao Liu's daughter gets married on New Year's Day, she needs to prepare "three major things."

When daughters of wealthy families get married, they also need to prepare the "three big things", but instead of bicycles, sewing machines and watches, they have to prepare refrigerators, color TVs and washing machines!

Richer families not only have to prepare these "three big items", but also have to import them.

Lao Liu can't afford it, and even if he can afford it, he can't buy it without foreign exchange coupons, but it doesn't cost money to come and see.

He stopped in front of a color TV imported from RB, his eyes filled with envy.

Han Yu was a little embarrassed and pulled his sleeve: "Uncle Liu, let's go."

"oh."

Old Liu calmed down and couldn't help but look back when he reached the door. He secretly sighed that if he could buy one for his daughter as a dowry, it would be very honorable.

Han Yu could understand his mood. Just when he didn't know what to say, a young man wearing glasses came up to him.

"Comrade, do you have any foreign exchange coupons?"

"do what."

"Change it. If there is any, I would like to change it. We can discuss how to change it."

Old Liu looked around and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing in exchange for foreign exchange coupons? Do you want to buy something?"

The young man scratched his neck and said with an embarrassed look: "I want to take the TOEFL exam, but I can't apply without a foreign exchange coupon."

Lao Liu asked in confusion: "Thanks to whom, I still need to register and take the TOEFL test?"

He obviously stayed in Bailong Port for too long and was a little out of date.

I looked like a country bumpkin just now, and now I don't even know what TOEFL is.

Han Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Uncle Liu, TOEFL is an English test. If you want to go abroad, you must take the TOEFL first. If you fail the test, you will not be able to go abroad."

There are all kinds of goods in the store, but you can't buy them if you have money.

Lao Liu was already feeling a little unhappy, so he asked with a straight face: "Isn't it good to stay in China? Why do you want to go abroad?"

"..."

Not enough words to speculate.

The young man didn't want to explain, adjusted his glasses, turned around and left.

Han Yu didn't expect that he would need foreign exchange coupons when registering for the TOEFL test. He was about to suggest that he go to the intersection in front of him to take a look when several people came around and asked if he had any foreign exchange coupons.

"If I had gone in earlier to buy something, I could have given it to you in exchange..."

Lao Liu was annoyed and patted Han Yu on the shoulder: "Xianyu, doesn't your sister work at the Sailors' Club? Do you want to go over and see your sister?"

Han Yu had long wanted to see his sister, so he grinned and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."

"You can go in and find your sister later. I'll wait for you in the lobby."

"OK."

The two walked to the door of the Sailors Club, and someone outside asked if they had any foreign exchange coupons.

Lao Liu was too lazy to pay attention to them, so he walked in and started browsing the store again.

The club's store is not as big as the Friendship Store, and it does not have imported color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other home appliances.

Mainly imported foods such as cigarettes, wine, milk powder, and chocolate, as well as domestically produced high-end tobacco and alcohol such as Moutai, Jiannanchun, Fenjiu, and Zhonghua, all require foreign exchange coupons.

Han Yu saw that he liked to watch these things and didn't want to affect his interest, so he left him and went straight to the main station.

"Sister Xu, you are on duty today."

"San'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you looking for your sister?"

"Well, is my sister here?"

"She was off for several days last week and will work every day this Sunday. She must be on the second floor. You can find her yourself."

"Ok, thanks."

The sister at the reception desk is very beautiful, very kind to others, and can speak fluent English, but Han Yu thinks she is not as good-looking as Lin Xiaohui.

Han Yu thanked him and walked to the west building where the guest room was.

Han Ning was busy cleaning the bathroom. When he saw his brother coming over, he asked in surprise: "Today is not Sunday, why did you come back?"

"Come and do something."

"What's up."

"Business."

"Does Director Xu know?"

"He was the one who asked me to come."

"When will you go back?" Han Ning walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet to wash her hands.

Han Yu leaned against the door and smiled: "I don't know when I will go back. It depends on how things go."

Han Ning walked out of the bathroom, took out a pack of biscuits from the trolley containing various things, and handed it to him.

"I had four days off last week, and I have to make up for the missed shifts in the past few days. I will give you the key later, and you can go home directly. If you have time in the afternoon, help me go to the nursery to pick up Dongdong. "

"I have a place to stay at night. If I don't go to your place, I probably won't have time to pick up Dongdong."

"Where will you stay tonight?"

Han Yu took two bites of biscuits and said proudly: "Stay in the Port Authority Guest House."

Han Ning couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, although the conditions there are not as good as ours, it still costs several dollars to stay a night."

The mission being carried out must be kept confidential. Han Yu did not want to say more and looked curiously at the cookies and fruits just placed on the table: "Sister, are there any foreign guests tonight?"

"Yesterday and the day before yesterday."

Han Ning picked up the rag and wiped the TV quickly while smiling: "I have been busy receiving foreign guests from the shipping agency these past few days. The rooms downstairs were booked by the shipping agency, and so are the ones being cleaned. Said there was a foreign ship calling the port today."

Even my sister, the room attendant, knows that it seems that it is no secret that a foreign ship is calling the port.

Han Yuzheng didn't know what to say. Someone called the waiter in the corridor.

"Here, hello, what's the matter?"

"Waiter, I'm sorry, I locked the key in the room when I went out."

"Which room do you live in?"

"218."

"I remember, you are Ms. Shen. You checked in the day before yesterday."

"Yes, I've been staying here for two days. I just went out for a meal and forgot to bring my key."

Han Ning dug out a large set of keys tied to an iron ring from the trolley and found the one with the number 218 on it. He was about to open the door for this fashionable-looking female passenger in her early thirties. A fat male passenger came over burping.

"Rulan, the door isn't open yet?"

The female passenger turned back and said, "What's the rush? I just found the waiter."

"Ah Sheng, why don't you come and sit here for a while first."

"Okay, let's go to your place to smoke a cigarette first."

Han Yu walked out of the room and saw a tall, thin, middle-aged passenger with a long face and glasses standing at the door of Room 216.

Looking back at the man who just spoke, he was thirty-three or four years old, short and fat, with a large black mole on his chin, and several hairs growing on the mole!

The accent sounds like someone from the East China Sea!

Except for the addition of an extra woman, everything else is completely consistent with what Huang Jiangsheng said.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

Han Yu's excited little heart was beating fast. He couldn't believe that he could meet them here. He kept reminding himself to calm down and calm down...

Han Ning came back after helping to open the door. Looking at his stupid look, he asked in confusion: "San'er, what are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

Han Yu calmed down and asked pretending to be curious: "Sister, they are not foreign guests, so why are they staying here?"

"We not only receive foreign guests here, but also have several foreign ships calling at the port throughout the year."

"As long as you have money, you can live there?"

"Yes, but staying here for one night is very expensive, and not everyone can afford it."

Han Ning smiled slightly and pointed to the two rooms just now: "They came from the East China Sea. The people in the East China Sea are rich, so the three of them rented two rooms and stayed there for several days!"

They are planning to come to a property close to the water on a first-come-first-served basis, and they want to make a big investment and get big returns.

Han Yu calmed down and asked calmly: "Sister, is this floor full?"

"It's so expensive. How can it be full? There are several rooms empty."

"Where's the first floor?"

"The first floor is full. There are more than a dozen guests who came to Binjiang for a meeting. There are also seven foreign sailors. One of them seems to be a captain, but they will check out later."

No, judging from the previous information, only one foreign ship has docked at the port this month.

Han Yu couldn't help but ask: "Sister, how many foreign ships are calling the port?"

"Just one."

"Where did those foreign sailors downstairs come from?"

"It should be coming from the East China Sea. I heard that the captain and several crew members of the ship that docked at the port today are going to take a vacation. The guys downstairs came here two days in advance to wait, and they will get on board to change shifts as soon as the ship arrives."

I was busy inquiring about the sailing schedule, but I actually forgot to ask if there was such an important situation as crew rotation!

Han Yu realized that he might be late, chatted absently with his sister for a few words, and hurried downstairs on the pretext of making a phone call. He pulled Lao Liu out of the club, who was still looking at famous cigarettes and wines in front of the counter, and talked eagerly about the affairs in the housekeeping department. Discover.

Old Liu asked in surprise: "What a coincidence?"

"I didn't expect that I would meet him in such a haphazard manner."

"You mean they may have exchanged foreign exchange coupons from the foreign seamen who came in advance?"

"Probably."

"This situation is very important. You go in first and keep an eye on it. I'll go to the car and report to Zhang Suo Jiang Ke via the intercom."

"Okay, I'll go in first."

Han Yu told Lao Liu the extension number of the duty room on the second floor of the housekeeping department, walked into the Sailors Club again, and found his sister who had cleaned room 209.

Han Ning asked in confusion: "Didn't you go to do something? Why did you come back so soon?"

Han Yu helped her move the vacuum cleaner aside and said with a smile: "I just went down and called someone. They said that their leaders were in a meeting and asked me to go there later."

Thinking that his brother had gone on a business trip to the East China Sea alone a few days ago, Han Ning subconsciously asked: "Find someone to help you handle the formalities for your company's ship?"

"Well, going through the formalities is the most troublesome."

"Although the tugboat is small, it is still a ship. It is of course troublesome to go through the procedures for a ship. If you think it is our cement ship, you just need to go to the Transportation Bureau to find someone and pay the money and it will be done."
