Fu Zhengqi was in a meeting upstairs at the time. When they came over, they only saw Assistant Chen. After learning that he was in a meeting, they waited in his office.
Qi Siling handed a bag of fruit to Assistant Chen, "I brought some fruit from outside. Try some."
Assistant Chen took it happily. He had tasted it last time and it was sweet and fresh. It was not available in the whole capital.
"Thank you. I've been craving this ever since I had it last time."
Qi Siling raised her lips slightly and said, "I'll bring it to you next time I come."
They waited in the office for a while before Fu Zhengqi came over from the conference room. He was delighted to see them. "When did you get here? You must have been waiting for a long time." He then shook hands with Cao An, with whom he had a drink. "Are you not having class today?"
"I've taken a leave of absence today, but I'm sorry to bother you with something." Cao An readily agreed.
Qi Siling pointed to the sack at the door and said, "We didn't come here empty-handed."
Fu Zhengqi laughed angrily, "Are you trying to bribe me?"
"It's just some fruit, it doesn't cost any money, is it considered a bribe?" Xia Youyou answered quickly.
"Hahaha, that's not really the case!" He sat down on the sofa beside him and motioned for everyone to sit down. "Sit down and tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
As the boss, Cao An was usually the one who spoke whenever he was present. Xia Youyou used the excuse that the money was earned from stock speculation.
Fu Zhengqi was shocked. "No, how much did you say?" He almost thought he was hallucinating. What about stock trading? What about 480,000 Hong Kong dollars?
"Four hundred and eighty-six thousand eight hundred Hong Kong dollars!" Cao An repeated it solemnly.
Fu Zhengqi took a while to digest the information before he found his voice and asked, "When do you want it?" Earning foreign exchange for the country is certainly a good thing, but it is not so easy to come up with so much money at once.
"It's all right. I know the country is in a difficult situation right now. We only want to exchange these Hong Kong dollars for one million, and we plan to hand over the rest to the country."
Fu Zhengqi hadn't expected that these freshmen, freshmen, would have such high awareness. He immediately decided, "Okay, I'll make a call."
After saying that, he went to the desk, found the number in the phone book and dialed it.
He exchanged pleasantries with the other party for a while before finally getting down to business. After receiving an accurate answer from the other party, he nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, I'll bring people over later. Okay, okay."
"goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, he stood up, unable to hide his excitement, and walked towards the few people, "Did you bring the money? Let me take you there."
Cao An shook his head. "I'm not sure if it'll work. We didn't bring it with us, but we can go get it now. It'll only take half an hour."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here and take you there!"
The three men came out of the Academy of Sciences. The two men rode their bicycles into a remote alley. Cao An then talked about how they went to sell candied oranges and jackfruits yesterday.
"We delivered to several supply and marketing cooperatives here, and also went to a small county town in the east district." Speaking of this, it's inevitable to talk about the embarrassing experience of selling jackfruit. "It seems that no matter what you do, you have to hit a wall first before you know the rules."
Xia Youyou laughed at him, "Why don't you just say you're the smartest? You're beating around the bush and talking about hitting a wall."
Cao An swung his palm, but Qi Siling blocked it. The two of them exchanged a few moves left and right.
"Okay, take out the money first." Xia Youyou was in Qi Siling's arms, and the wind from their fight had messed up her hair.
The few of them were in a dead end at this time. Qi Siling carried Xia Youyou off the front bar, and after the bicycle stopped, he went to the entrance to watch in case any nearby residents suddenly came over.
Cao An squatted down and placed two large rattan boxes on the open ground. Although the Hong Kong dollar was a hundred-yuan bill, 480,000 yuan still filled two large rattan boxes. If it were Chinese currency, the largest denomination was only ten yuan, so it would probably be even larger.
"Here are the whole ones." He took out another handful of money, "and here are the loose ones, six thousand eight hundred. I think we can keep these. Maybe we can go to Hong Kong again in the future."
"Okay." Xia Youyou had no objection.
Cao An then took out another, smaller rattan box and said, "This is our own money. We sold the sugared oranges for 12,000 yuan yesterday. The jackfruits were only wanted by the supply and marketing cooperative in Wangfujing. We sold them because they weren't sold elsewhere." Thinking of those people's disgusted faces, he laughed. They just smelled something wrong and refused to even try it.
"We had more than 50,000 before. After receiving some goods, we have recovered the cost of the sugar oranges. We haven't started selling the others yet." So the cash on hand now is only a little over 30,000.
Xia Youyou understood, "Let's exchange these first. Use the money to buy a factory. There is still more than a month left. Let's see if we can sell those fruits. If it's still not enough by then, I can add to the 50,000 yuan here." Pengcheng will start at the end of December, and they don't have much time left.
The factory costs 150,000. I'll use the money I get from Hong Kong currency to buy it. It will take more than a month, and I should be able to get it back if I run around a bit.
Cao An nodded and said, "Then I'll ask for leave when I get back and go somewhere else."
"Okay, but you can't fly a plane!" She looked at him with dark eyes, knowing that she made Cao An feel guilty.
"Okay, okay, you are the boss, you have the final say!" Cao An compromised. After all, who can control them when they are outside?
After packing up all their stuff and tying two bicycles to the wicker box, the three of them returned to the Academy of Sciences.
Assistant Chen's car was already parked at the door. Fu Zhengqi looked at the time on his wrist and hurried out. He looked up when he heard the ding of a bicycle bell.
"You're here." He glanced at the boxes in the back seat of their car and couldn't help but clutch his chest. This is all money! Forget Hong Kong dollars, even Chinese dollars, 480,000 is out of reach!
What's more, they want to exchange it for one million!
After adjusting his mood, Fu Zhengqi said, "Put it in the trunk. Leave the bikes here. You can come with me in the car."
The military jeep was moving slowly on the road. Assistant Chen knew that there was so much money in the car, so he drove carefully, fearing that if he drove too fast, the money would be blown away.
If it's blown away, he won't have the money to compensate.
The three of them sat in the back seat, with Xia Youyou in the middle, looking left and right. It didn't look like there was a huge amount of money in the car at all, it looked more like they were here for a trip.
Fortunately, the bank was not far away, and the jeep was parked steadily at the gate of the Huaguo Bank headquarters.
Cao An and Qi Siling each took a box and carried it down with ease.
The group entered the lobby and went straight to the president's office on the fifth floor.
Xia Youyou let them go first, and she lagged behind slowly, feeling resentful in her heart.
"Isn't this bank manager tired of climbing up and down every day? It's the fifth floor!"
Qi Siling was a little worried about him, so he gave the box to Cao An and turned around to squat with his back to Xia Youyou.
"Come up."
She didn't act pretentiously and just climbed up. She never wanted to climb stairs in her life!
