Chapter 627 Setting Up the Exhibition
When he returned to Miantang House, Mr. Ma had already contacted Director Li. If he could pay directly in Hong Kong dollars, it would save him a lot of trouble. Of course Director Li would be happy.
The Hong Kong dollar began to be pegged to the US dollar in 1983. The range of interaction is actually very small and basically remains stable. However, because the exchange rate of the RMB against the US dollar has been rising slowly, the Hong Kong dollar is also rising against the RMB.
In addition, the pound has continued to rise recently and has even reached a historical high. As a colony, Hong Kong Island has been deeply affected financially and its currency exchange rate is also rising.
As a result, a strange phenomenon occurred. When Hong Kong dollars were exchanged domestically, the gap between the bank's central parity rate and the black market price became very large.
And this black market price is actually almost linked to the real exchange price on Hong Kong Island.
Director Li never expected that a mainland buyer could transfer money to him directly from his Hong Kong account in Hong Kong dollars. This solved the problem that he had to convert RMB into Hong Kong dollars, and then use domestic direct transfer channels to transfer the Hong Kong dollars from Trouble caused by the mainland.
At this time, more than one million Hong Kong dollars are leaving the country, and the trouble is not ordinary. Therefore, it can almost be described as overjoyed, and I agree that Zhou Zhi will settle the matter according to the middle price given by the domestic bank.
This is much cheaper than settling according to the central parity of Standard Chartered Bank. It also gave Zhou Zhi a special experience and intuitively experienced the disconnect between the country and the world economy today.
The phone in Miantang's house actually has international long-distance calls. This was the "preferential treatment" left by Old Li back then. A phone call was made to Jack Li, and the matter was quickly settled.
However, although the transaction was fast, it had to be conducted through the Bank of China, the only bank with overseas branches in the country at that time.
In this way, you can obtain the transfer voucher as soon as possible, and then you can take the transfer voucher as evidence of the completion of the transaction and go to the housing management office to transfer the ownership.
In an era when deposits and exchanges within cities have not yet been realized, financial trade is such a trouble.
Fortunately, Jack Lee's accounting firm seems to have a relatively good reputation there. After obtaining Zhou Zhi's authorization, he promised to complete the transaction early tomorrow morning and fax the voucher to the domestic head office.
The rest depends on the reputation here. Yu Bin did not give it in vain. He patted his chest and said that the transfer would be completed tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow he would take the ID of the household head to fill out the application form for the renovation of the old house.
He has already inquired about it. Now for underground expansion, as long as the width does not exceed the projected area of the homestead, the depth does not reach the subway tunnel, and the house does not collapse on the ground surface and cause a public incident, the country does not have express regulations saying that it is not allowed. If you need an application for the renovation of an old house, attach the renovation drawings to the application and indicate the project to start. Once you get the impeccable approval, you can ensure that everything must be accepted.
Therefore, Zhou Zhi's worries are actually unnecessary. So many illegal buildings in later generations were ordered to be filled in, just because there was an extra two-word premise in front of the matter - "privately".
Private expansion is of course not possible, but if it is approved by the state, then it will be no problem.
Of course, this project was handed over to Yu Bin and Ma Ye for supervision. The engineering team Feng Cang and Pan Shiya could just pull over. As for the cost and quality, these people will definitely not mess around, so it won’t matter. Too simple.
There was no more words for the rest of the night. When he got up the next day, Master Ma took Zhou Zhi to invite the old man.
Previously, Feng Cang left the bullet to Jiang Wu to drive, but now there is just a car with the old man, Ma Ye, Jiang Wu, sworn brother, Fei Guan, Zhou Zhi himself, plus the things he brought with him, a seven-seater car is just right.
The vehicle drove to a building next to Jianguomen and stopped. Immediately, a staff member came over to inquire. However, before he could say a word, he was driven away by a man in a suit and ties behind him: "Master Ma, Mr. Fei, that’s really flattering, thank you very much.”
“Hello, Lao Lin, I was supposed to deliver this pair of wild rice yesterday, but I was really busy...”
< br>"It's okay, it's okay, special things will be done!" The man's gray hair was combed back into a big bun, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a gentle old scholar: "Brother Lin came all the way to support my brother, Brother, I am really touched. Please introduce these people to me quickly..."
Master Ma whispered: "Wait a moment, my master is here too."
"Wang...Mr. Wang?" The man was startled: "Ouch, where are you? This is too big..." After saying this, he greeted the staff just now: "Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang and his brothers go in first. , ask Wanqiu to arrange a booth, and tell her that it’s okay! Oh, old man, you are so healthy, come and let me help you get off the car..."
The staff on the side looked at it! He couldn't help but be a little stunned at his boss's behavior. Taking advantage of the bustle there, he quietly said to Zhou Zhi who was holding the wooden box: "Sir, please come with me."
Zhou Zhi followed with the box in his arms. The staff walked along the red carpet, passed through the festive door made of red paper, followed the plastic red carpet, entered the building with various red banners holding congratulations on the opening, got on the elevator, and rose to the fifth floor.
"Welcome." The two rows of welcoming ladies bowed in unison, startling Zhou Zhi.
"This is not a guest." The staff waved their hands, telling the guests not to be nervous, and led Zhou Zhi into the exhibition hall: "Sister Lin, Sister Lin! The exhibitor is here!"
"That's all. It’s too late to show off anything!” A woman wearing a white suit, high heels, and her hair in a bun turned around with an annoyed look on her face.
When she saw Zhou Zhi standing there at a young age, holding a square box, the woman felt that she had just bullied a child, and quickly adjusted her expression: "Ahem, kid? You came to the capital with your elders. For fun? Which unit do you belong to?”
“Shu” "It's from Du Gongmei Mall," Zhou Zhi said, "I'm here with Mr. Fei."
The woman took off a pencil from her right ear and a notebook from her arm to flip through it. Kai: "Oh, Mr. Shudu's Art and Design Bureau, Lao Kang is a pair of wildflowers, right? Come with me."
"Oh."
Zhou Zhi followed the woman towards the corner of the exhibition hall with her things in her arms. She passed many antiques covered with glass covers along the way. She couldn't help but admire: "Sister, there are all good things here..."
"Children read carefully Books are serious, right?” The woman just thought it was a little kid talking nonsense, and couldn’t help but sneer: “How can I learn to talk to adults!”
Zhou Zhi felt extremely embarrassed after saying this. , had no choice but to say nothing.
"Let's go here." The woman led Zhou Zhi to a corner of the hall: "Put the things on the ground, open them, and we will inspect them."
"Still inspecting the goods?" Zhou Zhi was a little confused: "Can Shudu Gongmei still produce fake products?"
"This is a company system, not targeted at anyone." The woman said.
"Then who will check?" Zhou Zhi looked around and saw no one coming.
The woman's pencil pointed at her breastplate. At this moment, Zhou Zhi discovered that the woman's pearl-colored silk shirt was quite straight. Then she took a closer look at the woman's chest, which was rarely seen nowadays. It read: With the name "Lin Wanqiu", there is a line of small characters below.
"Chief appraiser of Haitong Auction Company... Oops!"
However, Zhou Zhi unconsciously moved his head toward the badge while he was reading the small words, and was poked in the head by the woman.
Fortunately, it’s the eraser side.
