Chapter 448 Source of Income
Although the money is from Zhou Zhi, because it is transferred from foreign publishing houses, it is called "cash exchange".
If you want to use it domestically, you must first change it into "cash".
The exchange rates between the two are different, and the loss is borne by the exchanger himself.
And you can’t get this cash, you can only exchange it into RMB. The bank will not give you Hong Kong dollars directly.
Those are scarce resources, and there are some capable people who can operate them, but those people are the real bosses hiding behind the foreign currency dealers in front of the banks.
Of course it is not completely unusable, just transfer it to other foreign trade companies.
For example, Shudu Gongmei Shopping Mall is responsible for some revenue-generating tasks. The previous treasure of the store, "Ming Wu Ying Mao Imitation of Zhu Yun Ming's Eight Ode to Seven·Xia Shao", had a price tag of one hundred thousand US dollars.
You can’t buy it with RMB.
In fact, it is very simple for Zhou Zhi to arbitrage his foreign exchange. Cousin An An has a lot of business in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so there is plenty of room for operation.
However, Anxin also earns foreign exchange instead of using it. Zhou Zhi's foreign exchange royalties are just the icing on the cake for others, not just a necessity.
So it is really not cost-effective to transfer. It is not as cost-effective as taking care of the couple.
To really take care of the couple, buying antiques, calligraphy and paintings is to take care of the cost. If you don’t buy them, letting the foreign exchange go to the account of the Shudu Sales Department is also taking care of Liu Yushu.
Zhu Dazhang's film festival was finally scheduled to be held at the Provincial Exhibition Hall, which is of a very high level, which shows that Fei Guan and Liu Yushu are very good couples, and Zhou Zhi is also willing to help with this little effort and let millions of Hong Kong dollars lie there.
No doubt, even a million dollars, if converted into U.S. dollars, would be almost 200,000 U.S. dollars, which can buy Gongmei's most valuable paintings and calligraphy.
The reason is very simple, because books in Hong Kong and Taiwan are much more expensive than those in China, and the price difference between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese books is too big.
You can see the difference from the Xiaoxiaosheng work that the godfather "imported" to the county from Hong Kong Island.
At that time, it cost my father hundreds of dollars, but even an ordinary lover of classical literature would not be able to do this.
So when Zhou Zhi spoke so calmly, his godfather was a little frustrated.
If the child gets carried away, the elders will definitely knock him out of his pride; but now that Zhou Zhi is as obedient as a submissive donkey, the godfather feels that he is secretly showing off.
Fortunately, these are all the achievements of his younger generation. People who know the earning ability of Xiuqin and Yuanjiang are also good now. Even Xiuqin and Yuanjiang probably don't know the real number.
If this were publicized, it would really be "shocking" in today's Jiachuan.
However, what the godfather knows is still not a real number.
Zhou Zhi's income this year has been divided into three big chunks. The first big chunk is the income distribution of the karaoke hall. He wants to take 60%.
The second big chunk is the income of Jin'an Lock Co., Ltd., but this part has been authorized by cousin An An. It is of no use to him to take so much money now, and the cousin's company is in urgent need of expanding production capacity. Then just use it as a follow-up investment.
The third big chunk is the royalties from "Sichuan Flavors". Especially as one of the first books to be published overseas, the crab-eating effect is very obvious, and the materials used in this series are very pleasing. Everyone puts aside various ideological trends and opinions. The disagreements and disagreements, in the end, are still "life is about food and clothing". This money can be earned safely and securely, without fear of wind direction or liquidation.
I guess the publishing house thought the same way, so it focused on promoting it, giving Zhou Zhibai a big advantage.
"You have a really good character." The godfather finally nodded in approval: "You can be so indifferent in the face of huge wealth. Now your master should believe that you can sit on the bench..."
"Principle Almost, it’s just a bit of inversion of cause and effect..." Zhou Zhi smiled playfully: "In order to sit on the bench in the future, it is better to lay a solid economic foundation first, so as not to eat and drink in the future, then life will be miserable... ”
"Hahahaha..." The godfather couldn't help but laugh, and stopped mid-laughing: "Brat, are you making fun of me?!"
"No, no!" Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hand: "The main thing is I really can’t afford the praise of my godfather, so I’m so scared that I’m talking nonsense You're talking nonsense..."
"Speaking of nonsense, I think your inference about the "Longzang Sutra" is pretty much the same." The godfather shook his head: "You think it's Zen Master Yuanxiu. Take the "Dragon Hidden Sutra" with you and hide it in a secret place in Jiachuan? How is this possible? "
"I am inferring based on the life records of two disciples of Zen Master Dongfang. After Zen Master Dongfang was seriously injured by his personal bodyguard Li Chuyun under the command of Guizhou warlord Zhou Qilong, he returned to Fawang Temple. He vomited blood and died three days later, right? ?”
“Yes, this is recorded in the county annals. Afterwards, the disciples of Zen Master Dongfang held some discussions. Brother Yuan Yin left Fawang Temple and went to Yuzhou to find Xiong Kewu and report Zhou Qilong. Wanting justice ”
"Junior brother Yuanxiu stayed in Fawang Temple to guard the temple property."
"Later, Yuanxiu could not withstand the torture of the powerful people in the temple. In the end, his whereabouts were unknown, and the temple property was also occupied. Until Gengyin returned to Hooji Temple and reopened the mountain The gate barely stabilized the decline of Fawang Temple."
"This is what the county chronicle said, and I thought so at the beginning," Zhou Zhi said, "But there is one thing I don't understand. It is said that there were two disciples of Eastern Zen Master Brother Wen and Brother Wu, we can easily infer from the incident that the person who went out to report Xiong Kewu to the warlord and wanted to file a lawsuit must be Monk Wen, and the one who stayed at the mountain gate to look after the family business must be Monk Wu. Does this make sense? "
“Yes , It should be so.”
“The county chronicle also said that Dongfang Zen Master was a master of the outside world, and he could travel over mountains and ridges as if walking on the ground with apes and tigers, but in the end he lost to Li Chuyun, a master of the inside world. , right?”
"Yes, it is also said that two disciples also obtained the true inheritance of his Dharma and Kung Fu."
"So can we infer that Yuanxiu is a martial monk, and that his martial arts skills are close to those of his master Dongfang Zen Master?"
"Your inference is reasonable." Godfather said: "But even so, the powerful people at that time were probably armed with firearms. No matter how good Yuanxiu's kung fu was, he couldn't beat them, right? "
"Yes, Fawang Temple was located at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou at that time. There were many bandits in the area. Therefore, many local powerful organizations had their own militia to guard against bandits. Therefore, if Yuanxiu fought against the local powerful, he could only rely on one person. , Most likely it won’t work.”
“Not even with the monks in the temple.” Godfather said: “Otherwise, the large temple with hundreds of monks would not be dispersed at once.”
"The strange thing is here. Hooji Temple was also a big temple at that time. How did it disintegrate so quickly after the accident?"
"After Dongfang's incident, Yuanyin asked Yuanxiu to protect the temple property, but later There is no trace of Yuan Xiu's actions in the county annals. It's like this person disappeared out of thin air!"
"That's true." The godfather frowned: "Is it possible that... he was plotted?"
