After breakfast, Mo Zhexuan and Li Peizhen left the White Swan Hotel.
The two initially planned to walk so that they could see the scenery along the way.
But in the end I gave up the idea, mainly because Shamian Island is about ten kilometers away from the city center.
If you walk there, it will take at least six hours to go there and back, and that's under the fastest scenario.
In the end, I had no choice but to take a car. I had originally planned to ask the White Swan Hotel to coordinate a car for the trip.
But unexpectedly, Secretary Xu Zhiyuan was very considerate and arranged a Santana car and driver for each tycoon, which can be said to be a lack of attention.
"Mr. Mo! Miss Li! Where do you think we should go first?"
The driver, Xiao Liu, is a soldier who just retired from the army. He is strong and sturdy.
The tendon meat in every part of the body is like a piece of iron lump.
His thick eyebrows and big eyes sparkled with determination, making him look particularly heroic.
"Xiao Liu! Take us to Huaxia Bank first!" Mo Zhexuan and Li Peizhen discussed for a while before telling them the destination.
The two planned to go to a large shopping mall in the city center to have some fun.
This of course requires money, but these days.
Hong Kong dollars cannot be used normally in the Mainland. They can only be consumed after being exchanged for foreign exchange coupons.
Foreign exchange coupons were later called "privileged currency".
At that time, China was short of supplies.
Generally, luxury goods, such as foreign liquor, foreign cigarettes, televisions, etc., are only sold in special commercial places such as Friendship Stores.
Such places only accept foreign exchange coupons, which implicitly gives foreign exchange coupon holders the privilege of priority consumption.
It was the 1980s, and the country had just opened its doors.
Many people who are studying abroad, visiting relatives, immigrating, etc., need foreign exchange coupons to exchange for rice and gold.
This has invisibly increased the role of foreign exchange coupons and also given rise to a new profession: scalpers.
Many scalpers use the foreign exchange coupons they obtain from foreigners to sell them at high prices to international students or people who want to immigrate.
This is the fundamental reason for the phenomenon that people become rich and reach the peak of their lives.
The reason was that China was too poor at that time and extremely lacked foreign exchange reserves.
Along the way, Santana became a handsome guy that people frequently looked back at.
Whether they are riding motorcycles, riding bicycles, taking buses, or pedestrians.
Everyone is trying to avoid it as much as possible, for fear that it will affect the normal driving of the car.
Because in this day and age, the number of cars on the road is almost negligible.
Those who can ride in cars basically come from government agencies, and there is no possibility for individuals to buy them.
Half an hour later, the car stopped steadily in front of the door of Huaxia Bank.
As soon as Mo Zhexuan and Li Peizhen got off the car, they became the focus of the people queuing to deposit and withdraw money.
"Do you think these two people are from abroad? They are dressed so exquisitely."
"No, I know that young man. His name is Mo Zhexuan. He's a self-made tycoon from Hong Kong. I saw him in the Guangshi Daily. At that time, Secretary Xu Zhiyuan personally welcomed this group of Hong Kong compatriots."
"Does he have as much money as Hong Kong's Li Ka-shing?"
"Anyway, I've read some reports about Hong Kong, saying that this young man's wealth is approaching 10 billion Hong Kong dollars."
"Oh my god! How did he make such a huge fortune?"
"Hey, have you seen the news? The White Swan Hotel founded by Mr. Huo Yingdong seems to be opening soon. Can we go and take a look then?"
"That shouldn't be possible! Nowadays, most hotels have signs saying no unauthorized entry. I'm afraid we won't even be able to get in."
"No! You can go in. I have a cousin who works as a security guard at the White Swan Hotel. I heard that Mr. Huo Yingdong personally said that anyone can go in to visit and take pictures. He just wants the Chinese people to know that the future will be better and better."
"I admire Mr. Huo Yingdong the most. He is a true patriotic entrepreneur who has devoted a lot of effort to the development of the motherland. I must go and see it in person when the business opens."
"Yes! I'll go and take a look at the hotel built by us Chinese people."
“............”
While people were discussing outside, Mo Zhexuan and Li Peizhen had been invited into the office by the staff of Bank of China.
"Mr. Mo! Ms. Li! Please have some tea." The bank manager did not dare to be negligent. He respectfully poured a cup of tea for each of them before asking them why they came.
"Oh! We don't have anything important to do. We just want to trouble you to help us exchange some foreign currency coupons." Mo Zhexuan took a sip of tea and then explained his purpose.
“Then how much do you want to exchange?” the bank manager was overjoyed to hear that.
In fact, every branch has the task of earning foreign exchange, which has indicators. We really hope that the other party can give a big number.
"Please help me exchange 30,000 MiGold first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out three stacks of US dollars from his purse and handed them over.
He had the company's finance department exchange this currency when he came to Guangzhou, just to use it to purchase goods in the mainland.
"Okay! I'll change it for you right away!" After the bank manager took the banknotes, the smile on his face instantly became as bright as a flower.
I calculated in my mind that if I had this foreign exchange, I would have completed more than half of this year's foreign exchange earning task.
Just as I was about to walk out of the office, I heard a female voice behind me. Turning around, I saw Li Peizhen taking out two stacks of US dollars from her Chanel bag.
"Please help me exchange 20,000 gold coins for mine!"
"Zhenzhen! 30,000 MiGold should be enough, and we can't buy a lot of things." Mo Zhexuan hurriedly tried to stop her when he saw this.
"It doesn't matter! Just consider it as a contribution to the country." Li Peizhen shook her head and refused.
She didn't value the money. Although she was not valued by her two brothers in the Li family, she had never lacked money.
"Mr. Mo! Ms. Li! Please wait a moment."
The bank manager's heart was in his throat just now.
Now the 20,000 yuan gold is still in his pocket.
He immediately took the two stacks of US dollars from the other person's hand.
After saying hello, he walked out of the office with a beaming face.
"Zhenzhen! Let's go to the Friendship Store first!"
"That's what I was thinking. I heard there are a lot of good things in it."
“...........”
In less than ten minutes, the bank manager came in with a thick leather bag, which contained five stacks of foreign exchange certificates of equal value.
"The amount is fine, I'll take it away." Mo Zhexuan didn't worry at all that the other party would cheat, he just scanned the five stacks of foreign exchange coupons in the bag.
"Mr. Mo! Why don't you count it?" The bank manager saw that he just took a look and then reminded him in a friendly manner.
"It's okay, I trust our Huaxia Bank."
“Thank you for your trust.”
After leaving Hua Xia Bank, the two asked their driver Xiao Liu to drive to the famous Friendship Store in Guangzhou.
