Zhao Xiaohai came to Hong Kong for business this time and had almost finished his business. He said goodbye to Chu Qianqian and started his journey back.
After clearing customs in Shenzhen.
After arriving in Nansha County, Zhao Xiaohai still stayed in the hotel, greeted the owner, and set off for the island early the next morning.
"Captain."
Zhao Xiaohai came to the captain's residence.
"Hey brother, you're back. I thought it would take at least another day or two for you to come back?" The captain greeted with a smile.
"I'll be back when I'm done."
"Did you gain anything from this trip?" the captain asked casually.
Zhao Xiaohai smiled lightly, "Indeed, there is some harvest, and it's quite a big harvest. Captain, I want to exchange some Hong Kong dollars with you."
"No problem, brother. How much do you want? But let me make it clear first, the foreign exchange rate has risen again in the past few days. This thing goes like this: when gold goes up, the foreign exchange rate also goes up. One Hong Kong dollar cannot be less than 65 cents." The captain said.
Zhao Xiaohai thought that raising prices was a good thing, as the longer it lasted, the more money he would make.
"Hehe, captain, this time we are not buying foreign exchange, but selling foreign exchange. How much can you offer?" Zhao Xiaohai asked with a smile.
The captain's smile froze on his face.
"Sell?"
“Yes, I mean selling.”
The captain thought he had spoken too quickly and that he would not be able to deceive him this time. He blinked and said, "Brother, you know we do currency exchange to make a profit from the difference. How about this, I'll give you fifty-eight cents for every Hong Kong dollar."
Zhao Xiaohai immediately shook his head.
He sold quite a lot of goods, and the difference of a few cents would amount to tens of thousands of yuan.
"I sell a lot, so give me another price."
"How much?" The captain's eyes lit up.
Foreign exchange is an absolute treasure in the country. It is in short supply and no amount of it is enough.
Zhao Xiaohai made an eight gesture.
"Eighty thousand?"
Zhao Xiaohai shook his head.
The captain of the ship was a little excited, "Brother, it can't be 800,000, right?"
"That's right, it's 800,000. Captain, if you give me a suitable price, I will sell them all. If not, I will look for other ways to exchange currency. In fact, the price in our hometown is higher, but the shipment is slower." Zhao Xiaohai said.
Zhao Xiaohai now has about 5.8 million Hong Kong dollars in his hand, but he does not plan to exchange all of it. There are more than 500,000 yuan in the system wallet now. As long as he exchanges another 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, it will be enough to reach 1 million. He plans to use the remaining Hong Kong dollars next time he goes to Hong Kong.
When the captain heard the price of 800,000, he quickly grabbed Zhao Xiaohai's hand.
"Brother, can we negotiate the price? What do you think of fifty-nine cents?"
Zhao Xiaohai shook his head.
The captain said with a sad face, "Brother, there's not much profit left." Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sixty cents, you can ask around in the south, and you won't find a higher price than mine."
Zhao Xiaohai thought the price was not bad. After all, people also need to make money to eat. "Okay, 60 cents."
The captain was very happy.
"Where's the money bro?"
"Put it in the hotel and someone will be watching. We'll do the transaction at the hotel tonight. Bring the money with you then."
"No problem, brother." The captain held Zhao Xiaohai's hand and shook it continuously.
800,000 Hong Kong dollars can only be exchanged for more than 260,000 according to the international exchange rate, but can be exchanged for 480,000 on the black market, which is nearly twice the difference.
The captain buys it for 60 cents and sells it for 65 cents, which means the difference is 5 cents per Hong Kong dollar. That means he can make 40,000 Hong Kong dollars once he gets this transaction.
He was naturally happy.
As for how Zhao Xiaohai got so many Hong Kong dollars, although the captain was curious, he would not ask too much. This is the rule. No matter how others got it, it is their ability. There are many capable people in this world, and each has his own way. Don't ask questions that don't concern you.
After the currency exchange was settled, Zhao Xiaohai prepared to go about his business. "Captain, are there any televisions on the market that have been legally processed?"
What are the legal procedures?
According to national regulations, everyone going to Hong Kong can bring back one or two large items. Such goods have to go through customs procedures, everything is completely legal, and absolutely no problems can be found. Such goods are generally called customs-cleared goods.
The only disadvantage of cleared goods is that they are more expensive than parallel imports.
Generally, it is about 30% more expensive than smuggled goods.
The TV is for Secretary Tang. It's better to be safe than sorry. Zhao Xiaohai would rather have it more expensive than have any problems.
"Yes, you want to buy a TV? No problem, I'll take you to my friend and ask him to give you a cheaper price." The captain said happily.
After speaking to his men, the captain personally took Zhao Xiaohai to a stall selling home appliances and introduced Zhao Xiaohai as his good friend. His friend was also very happy to give Zhao Xiaohai a preferential price, and the procedures were completely legal and compliant.
Things are done well,
Zhao Xiaohai put on his sunglasses again.
In the afternoon, I boarded the ship and returned to the hotel with my TV and sunglasses.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on Zhao Xiaohai's door. He was reading a newspaper. He got up and opened the door to find that the captain of the ship had come in person, bringing with him Amin, whom he had met last time, and another brother, whom he had also seen at the currency exchange stall.
Each of the three people was carrying a canvas bag.
Bulgary.
Four hundred and eighty thousand,
The largest denomination of RMB now is the 10-yuan Great Unity note. Four hundred and eighty stacks of it are very heavy, weighing as much as fifty or sixty kilograms.
The three of them entered the house, and the captain opened three money bags, revealing the blue banknotes inside. "Here are 480,000."
Zhao Xiaohai was also not vague. He took out a cardboard box from under the bed, opened the box, and found colorful Hong Kong dollars inside.
"Eight hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars."
Hong Kong dollars are all in 1500-yuan notes, and 800,000 is just a few dozen stacks, much smaller in volume than the Great Unity notes.
