Riverside police

"OK."

Section Chief Jiang picked up a stack of lists and reported: "After Xianyu discovered that one of the three suspects, Shen Rulan, Zhang Asheng's wife, had an unusual relationship with the captain and crew members who had arrived in advance and were waiting to board the ship, in order to find out What exactly are they doing? I asked the border inspector to check carefully.

An inspection found that their carry-on luggage was not suspicious and no contraband was found. The management of the terminal is very strict, and there is no possibility of illegal immigration.

The captain who disembarked and the belongings of the six Indian crew members were also not suspicious.

The only difference from the captain and crew members who boarded the ship was that they were paid before disembarking, and they carried more cash, all in US dollars. "

Last time, the Bailonggang Police Station and the Linghai Police Station along the Yangtze River cooperated to crack down on ticket resellers, and the results were great.

Most of the confiscated fines and penalties allocated were returned to the bureau. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the biggest result achieved by the bureau in the past five years!

But that case was handled mainly by the Linghai Public Security Bureau, and the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau only played a supporting role.

The case being studied and analyzed is different. Not only does it involve money, but the bureau has 100% of the initiative!

The jurisdiction of the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau is so small that it is difficult to achieve anything.

Director Chen naturally would not miss this opportunity and asked with a smile: "I carry more cash, how much is this more."

Section Chief Jiang handed over the list of foreign crew members registered at the border inspection when they entered the country: "The captain has the most, with more than 39,400 US dollars. The crew members are smaller, ranging from 26,000 to 17,000 US dollars."

Han Yu felt that Director Chen was like an accountant. He looked at the list carefully, used a calculator to calculate it, and wrote it down in notes.

"Lao Hu, where are you?"

"At about 5:54 p.m., we monitored two phone calls from Zhang Asheng. The first time he was talking to scalpers to buy tickets, and the second time was probably to contact his brother-in-law in Donghai. The call time was not long, so I put it to Everyone, listen."

"Okay, let it go quickly."

…

There is nothing good to say about calling scalpers to buy tickets.

The call with his brother-in-law was a bit confusing. It didn’t sound like they were looking for foreign seafarers to exchange foreign exchange coupons, but they wanted to exchange foreign exchange coupons for foreign seafarers!

Director Chen was puzzled.

Zhang Junyan, Section Chief Jiang, Deputy Section Chief Zhou and others were also confused.

Han Yu remembered what the director learned from his friend who worked in the bank in the afternoon. He was holding his chin in deep thought when Director Chen suddenly asked: "Xianyu, where are you?"

Han Yu calmed down and said hurriedly: "Report to Bureau Chen, Zhang Asheng and Shen Rulan came over as soon as the disembarked crew members completed their accommodation procedures.

Perhaps the crew members who boarded the ship helped convey the message, and the Indian crew members who disembarked did not think they were presumptuous and invited them to go to room 220 to talk. "

"What to talk about."

"They spoke English and their voices were very loud, which annoyed the tourists living next door. But my English is not good and I couldn't understand a word."

"Did they make a deal."

"No, but my sister took a look for me on the pretext of sending fruit, and found that they seemed to be haggling, using a calculator to calculate, and writing on paper with a pen."

Han Yu thought for a while and then said: "They asked my sister before they went back to their room to rest, saying that they would go back to Donghai early tomorrow morning. Maybe they were worried about oversleeping, so they asked my sister to wake them up on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"I'm looking for someone surnamed Shi to exchange foreign exchange certificates, and I want to exchange the foreign exchange certificates to foreigners. I also plan to go to the East China Sea to accompany the foreigners to exchange the foreign exchange certificates for US dollars, and exchange them back and forth. What are they trying to do..."

As soon as Director Chen finished speaking, a police officer knocked on the door and came in. He whispered a few words in the ear of Chief Hu of the Political and Security Section, and hurriedly walked out of the conference room.

"Lao Hu, what's going on?"

"Zhang Asheng just made a phone call, and it was to his brother-in-law. He asked his brother-in-law to find a car to pick them up at Shiliupu Pier tomorrow afternoon, saying that they would go to the airport tomorrow with a few foreign sailors."

"that's it?"

"That's all, the call was short."

The bureau has handled quite a few criminal cases, but this is the first time it has been monitored.

Director Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "Monitoring is a good method. As long as they answer the phone, we can know their movements."

Zhang Junyan raised his head and said, "Bureau Chen, the idea of ​​monitoring was Xianyu's idea."

Bureau Chen smiled and pointed at Han Yu: "Little Xianyu, you can do it. You are worthy of being a child of our Port Authority."

When did I become a child of the Port Authority? At best, I can only be considered a relative of the Port Authority...

Han Yuzheng thought it was funny, and Director Chen straightened his face: "Comrades, I asked the office staff to study the laws and regulations on financial and foreign exchange management yesterday.

Although it is our first time to resell foreign exchange bonds, it is not very complicated. It is the same as other speculative trading behaviors. It is to buy low and sell high, and there must be buying and selling.

In the past ten hours, everyone has worked very hard and made great progress.

But it is far from enough to conclude that they are suspected of undermining the socialist economic order based on the evidence we have now. In other words, we only know that they buy, not sell, and we don’t even know how they make illegal profits. "

This is indeed a headache.

Zhang Junyan lit up a cigarette, took several puffs in a row, and said solemnly: "Director Chen, Jiang Ke and I discussed this in the morning. We plan to divide our troops into two groups. One will investigate and collect evidence at home, and the other will follow them to the East China Sea to see them. What on earth are you doing?"

Director Chen knocked on the table and reminded: "Xiao Xianyu said very clearly, and the monitored calls are also very clear. Those foreign sailors will go to the East China Sea tomorrow, and will fly back to China the day after tomorrow at the latest.

That foreign ship will only be anchored at the dock for three days. It is unloading now and will probably start loading tomorrow night. It will leave as soon as the goods are full. All the people involved in the case are gone, how will we investigate then? "

Section Chief Jiang frowned and said, "Time is too tight."

"Three cobblers are even supporting Zhuge Liang. Let's all use our brains and think carefully about what they are doing."

"Exchange the foreign exchange certificates to foreign seafarers, and the foreign seafarers will exchange them for US dollars and take them away. The exchange rate is fixed and the People's Bank of China has regulations. Do they think they have too much money and let the bank earn more handling fees?"

“What is the current exchange rate of RMB to USD.”

"..."

Before, I only thought about the suspect reselling foreign exchange certificates and never considered the U.S. dollar. After all, the U.S. dollar was too far away for ordinary people.

Bureau Chen asked how RMB was exchanged for US dollars. Everyone really didn't know and were stunned for a moment.

Zhang Suo just mentioned the exchange rate, and Han Yu guessed it. He raised his head and said: "The official exchange rate stipulated by the People's Bank of China is 3.7221 RMB to 1 US dollar."

Director Chen was surprised and asked curiously: "Little Xianyu, how did you know about it?"

"Director Chen, although our Director Xu did not come, he takes this case very seriously. He has contacted friends who work in big banks and has done research on financial foreign exchange management."

"How did he say."

"I didn't have time to report to Xu Suo, but based on what Xu Suo learned, I can probably guess what Ye Xingguo and the others want to do."

Bureau Chen asked: "What on earth are they doing?"

What Xu Sanye learned was too convoluted. Han Yu smoothed over his thoughts, organized his words, and explained: "Dear leaders, as far as Xu Sanye knows, 3.7221 RMB to 1 U.S. dollar is the official exchange rate set by the People's Bank of China.

However, due to the tight national foreign exchange reserves, not only companies with import and export rights can apply for exchange for U.S. dollars. "

"In order to strengthen foreign exchange control, the state has implemented a policy of freezing the retained foreign exchange balances of import and export enterprises from 1986 and before last year.

The foreign exchange balance used last year will also be deducted this year. In other words, even if there are foreign exchange deposits in the accounts of import and export enterprises, they cannot be withdrawn. "

Director Chen seemed to understand and asked: "Is foreign exchange so tight?"

“It’s more nervous than expected. Our friend from Xu Institute said that Nanhai Province has just been established. Before the establishment of the province, the foreign exchange was quite limited, but it also enjoyed the flexible and preferential import and export policies like the Shenzhen-Zhengzhou Special Economic Zone.

In order to develop the economy, they specially sent people to Dongguang and other provinces to buy foreign currency at high prices, and even went to Shenzhen, Zhuhai and other places to buy foreign currency door to door. "

Han Yu took out a small book and continued to report while flipping through it: "Because of the tight foreign exchange, the foreign exchange adjustment center in Dongguang Province has to keep in line with the black market exchange rate. Their US dollar adjustment price has increased from 1:5.5 in March. , increased to 1:6.7."

Zhang Junyan did not expect that Xu Sanye, like a scholar, could know the world's affairs without going out, and could still play an role even when no one was around. He asked in shock: "Xianyu, you mean one dollar can be exchanged for six yuan and seventy cents in RMB!"

"Zhang Suo, the 1:6.7 mentioned just now is the adjustment price of the Dongguang Provincial Foreign Exchange Adjustment Center, which is equivalent to the official exchange rate set by Dongguang Province for economic development.

It is aimed at import and export companies that need foreign exchange, and the amount that can be transferred is far from meeting the needs of import and export companies, which means that not everyone can exchange it. "

Han Yu closed the small book and added: "I can't exchange it personally. Maybe prices have soared this year. Many people think that the US dollar is more valuable. There are also many people who want to go abroad but cannot live without the US dollar, so the black market exchange rate has reached more than 1:8. It is said that in some places It has reached 1:12 or even 1:13.”

Steel and other production materials are either planned to be supplied or negotiated, and the prices vary greatly.

Unexpectedly, the official adjustment price and black market exchange rate of one US dollar to RMB are so different from the official exchange rate set by the People's Bank of China.

Director Chen realized that the case was more complicated than expected, and stared at Han Yu closely and asked, "What about our case specifically?"

"Bureau Chen, before talking about their illegal profit-making methods, I think we should first talk about the foreign exchange certificates."

"Say, we do need to learn."

“After the reform and opening up, more and more foreigners came to China and returned overseas Chinese, but the market supply was tight, and the supply of grain, oil, meat, and cloth was rationed in the first two years.

In order to meet the needs of foreigners and returned overseas Chinese, there are foreign-related hotels and foreign-related shops such as Sailors Club and Friendship Store. "

Han Yu took a deep breath and continued: "But we in China prohibit the circulation of foreign currencies, so we issue foreign exchange coupons to facilitate foreign guests and returned overseas Chinese to purchase items in these places.

It can be circulated, anonymous, and not reported as lost. To put it bluntly, it is money. In the words of financial experts, it is equivalent to a privileged currency. "
