Chapter 409 Early Graduation
The next day, Su Mo calculated the time and went to the post office to call Su Jing.
After the reform and opening up, telecommunications were also reformed. At present, there is no need to go to the post office to make long-distance calls within the country. If you have a telephone installed at home, you can make calls directly.
But if you want to call abroad, you have to apply for and install a special line. The telephone installed in Su's studio is an ordinary one. If you want to call abroad, you still have to go to the post office.
Before Su Mo made the call, she asked about the fee. It costs 35 yuan per minute to call the United States.
Su Mo: ...
Such expensive communication fees, are you kidding? This investment promotion, if you don't have some strength, you may go bankrupt just by making a phone call.
Su Mo endured the pain and called Su Jing. She briefly told him about the Patriotic Construction Company and asked him to transfer 1 million US dollars through this project.
In 1979, the exchange rate of RMB to USD was about 1.5 RMB to 1 US dollar. This 1 million US dollars was equivalent to about 1.5 million RMB.
Su Jing had not returned to China since the exhibition last year, so he did not know about the Patriotic Construction Company. Hearing about it, he was also very interested.
"Xiao Mo, I want to invest 500,000 US dollars in this patriotic construction company. Please help me with the formalities."
"My dad is more familiar with the procedures. You can calculate the time and call me around 9 pm China time." Su Mo told him the home phone number and said that there was a phone installed at home.
After Su Jing wrote down the number, he agreed with Su Mo and hung up the phone.
It didn't take much to spend more than 100 yuan on Su Mo. In the era of underdeveloped communication, the cost of communication was really too high.
After the call, Su Mo went home and took the two children back to the family courtyard. The children would start school in two days.
Guangzhou, as a pioneer of reform and opening up, has changed significantly. There are obviously many more cars on the road, and even the bus routes have been added.
The most obvious change is in clothing. Young people have started to wear bright colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The bell-bottom pants and thick-soled shoes that once represented illusion, decline, and decay have reappeared on young people.
Everyone in the family compound knows that Su Mo went abroad to study. When they saw Su Mo coming back, some of the family members who were a little familiar with Su Mo came to ask her what foreign countries were like. Su Mo also picked out what she could say.
In the afternoon, Su Mo went back to school and reported to the school leaders about her exchange.
In the evening, the mother and her two children returned to Gaudi Street. Around nine o'clock, Su Jing called and communicated with Su Tingqian about the investment of the Patriotic Construction Company.
Finally, after discussing, the two decided to first collect 1.5 million US dollars, 750,000 as the Su family's payment, and 750,000 as Su Jing's personal payment, and then help Su Jing subscribe for 500,000 RMB of Aijian Company's shares.
A week after the call, Su Jing collected 1.5 million US dollars, and Su Tingqian returned to Tanghai City and subscribed for Su Jing's 500,000 shares. At the same time, he added another 200,000 to make up the Su family's share to 500,000.
The 750,000 US dollars collected was exchanged for 1.12 million RMB. In the past two years, he has earned about 250,000 from doing business, and 300,000 from subscribing shares. Now there is a little over one million left.
Adding Su Jing's 620,000, their current capital, all added up, can be about 2 million.
This money is not too much, not too little, so we have to plan how to use it.
In mid-September, Su Mo also started school. In the senior year, there are not so many courses. Domestic universities have also learned the teaching methods of foreign universities, and the senior year tends to be more practical.
At present, China is in a special period of reform and opening up, and it is a time when people are needed. Based on the instruction of "producing talents early and quickly", the school evaluated Su Mo's professional learning level and allowed her to graduate early.
So, Su Mo started her graduation defense within two weeks of school. After passing the defense, she graduated from school in early October and was arranged to work in the Guangdong Province Investment Promotion Office.
Su Mo originally planned to return to her family to start her own business after graduation, but many things cannot be changed by one family alone, so she decided to serve the country for another two years.
Not only Su Mo, but also Qiao Huaqing in Beijing graduated early. Qiao Huaqing, like Su Mo, was assigned to the Guangdong Province Investment Promotion Office.
