In 1985, the official exchange rate was roughly around 1:2.5, but that was the official exchange rate.
Individuals simply cannot change it.
The black market price is generally 80 cents to one Hong Kong dollar.
The exchange rate of 1:1.2 offered by the captain was indeed attractive, but Zhao Xiaohai also understood that there might be something fishy going on.
"Captain, although the exchange rate is good, please don't give me any counterfeit money or anything like that."
Zhao Xiaohai looked directly at the captain, trying to find some clues from his face.
The captain patted his chest and assured, "Look at what you said. I've been in the underworld for a long time, so I still have credibility. If you're worried, count the money in front of me. I won't recognize it once we leave this place."
Zhao Xiaohai thought about it and felt that what the captain said made sense. After all, he really needed Hong Kong dollars.
"Okay, then I'll change it to 3,000 RMB."
As he spoke, Zhao Xiaohai carefully took out a stack of RMB from his backpack.
This was just taken out from the system wallet, covered with a backpack.
The captain took the RMB, counted it skillfully, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned around and took out a few stacks of Hong Kong dollars from a shabby box and handed them to Zhao Xiaohai.
"3,600 Hong Kong dollars, just count."
Zhao Xiaohai took the Hong Kong dollars and carefully checked them one by one, using his eyesight acquired in the business world to identify the authenticity.
Fortunately, these Hong Kong dollars look normal.
After counting, Zhao Xiaohai carefully put away the Hong Kong dollars and said to the captain, "Captain, thank you."
The captain grinned and said, "You're welcome. If you need to exchange money again in the future, come and find me. In Hong Kong, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
When you go back, if you take my boat, take this note and call the number on it.
Your coming expenses have already been paid for, so you have to pay for your leaving expenses yourself.
RMB 500, you can also pay in Hong Kong dollars.
After completing this black market currency transaction, Zhao Xiaohai officially started his journey in Hong Kong with Hong Kong dollars in his pocket.
In the late 1980s, Hong Kong was a place of both order and chaos.
In this strange city full of opportunities, every step must be taken with caution, and the Hong Kong dollars he just received will become an important "pass" for him to explore Hong Kong.
