Chapter 237(2/3)
When you leave tomorrow, I will give you the money again.
It’s not fun to have so much cash with you, so it’s not fun to eat and drink.” Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Chief Zhang, you are so thoughtful! Just do as you say." Zhao Yulong smiled and nodded.
He wasn't worried that Zhang Junping would cheat them.
If he was really worried, Zhang Junping wouldn't have delivered the nearly ten million worth of goods with just one phone call.
Zhang Junping has been thinking about a question.
Should I use foreign exchange to settle with Director Zhang, or should I settle in cash directly?
Seven million in cash, even in a suitcase that is 1.2 meters long, 70 meters wide, and 35 meters thick, it still has to fit three large suitcases.
"By the way, Accountant Zhao, I wonder if you accept checks?"
"Cheque?"
"Yes, I just thought about it. If I give you cash, it would take at least three large suitcases to hold this much cash, even if it is brand new RMB.
If it's an old one, I'm afraid even four large suitcases may not fit in it.
That's why I asked you whether you accept checks." Zhang Junping has already decided to pay in foreign exchange.
In the eyes of others, foreign exchange is very precious, but in Zhang Junping's eyes, foreign exchange is really not that precious.
It seems like a big disadvantage. The exchange rate in this era is quite bad.
But in fact, what Zhang Junping has in his hand is the third version of RMB.
He doesn't consider whether he will use it in his next purchase of antiques in the country.
As far as the RMB itself is concerned, there is also huge room for growth.
In later generations, a single RMB of ten yuan was worth between fifty and one hundred yuan.
A complete bundle with serial numbers could be sold for around three hundred thousand.
As for the RMB in Zhang Junping's hand, most of it happened to have serial numbers, and a small part was scattered old coins.
There are even scattered old coins, and some of them are the second edition of RMB, which is also known as the Big Black Ten in the collection market.
The second set of RMB was no longer in circulation in the 1960s, and banks could only enter and exit it, so only a small part of it was retained among the private sector.
Therefore, the second edition of RMB is very popular in the collection market, and the price has always been strong.
A brand new Big Black Ten can be sold for 300,000 yuan in later generations, and old coins can also be sold for 300,000 to 50,000 yuan.
Therefore, for Zhang Junping, there is no disadvantage in using foreign exchange transactions.
"Yes! It would be better if you can give me a check!" Zhao Yulong readily agreed.
After all, 856 Farm is a large state-owned farm, unlike some small local enterprises that have never seen the world and dare not accept payment by check.
"I plan to pay in U.S. dollars, and the exchange rate is one to one point five-seven. Is this acceptable?
Of course, you can go to the Bank of China to verify the check." Zhang Junping asked again with a smile.
"Yes! It can certainly be done! Just calculate it according to the ratio of 1 to 1.57 that Section Chief Zhang said! Just give me 4.6 million." Zhao Yulong became excited instantly.
He dared to directly agree to pay with U.S. dollars in foreign exchange, not to mention the official exchange rate of 1:1.57, but also at 1:2, or even 1:3.
After returning home, Director Zhang would only praise him.
"Brother, if you are short of money, I will help you.
There is no need to pay in US dollars!
You exchange the U.S. dollars to your brother, and he will give you RMB in the ratio of one to two and a half and one to three." Li Kaihe was jealous from the side.
"Brother Li, please don't cause trouble.
Be careful, Director Zhang won’t sell you agricultural and sideline supplies in the future.” Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"This is more than four million U.S. dollars! You said you have so much foreign exchange, what can't you buy?" Li Kaihe said distressedly.
The country's foreign exchange reserves continue to be in deficit, which has also led to more tense and precious foreign exchange.
"Chief Zhang, we only need four million!" Zhao Yulong was afraid that Zhang Junping would regret it, so he quickly lowered the price.
"Four million? Brother, you listen to my brother, you give me three million and fifty thousand, and I will pay for the money you owe 856 Farm for you." Li Kaihe glanced at Zhao Yulong and said directly.
"Chief Zhang, three million, you only need to pay three million US dollars!" Zhao Yulong spoke first without giving Zhang Junping a chance to speak.
"I only want two hundred..."
"Stop! Stop it!
Brother Li, stop shouting! If you really need foreign exchange in the future, can you help me?" Zhang Junping quickly stopped the bidding between the two.
Finally, at Zhao Yulong's insistence, Zhang Junping wrote him a check for US$3 million.
This kind of foreign exchange check can be exchanged at the Bank of China.
In fact, it looks like 856 Farm has suffered a loss, but in fact it does not.
The impact of three million in foreign exchange income is much greater than that of ten million RMB.
Therefore, this is a transaction in which no one loses.
Zhang Junping took Zhao Yulong to the Bank of China to verify the authenticity of the check.
In the evening, I treated three people to a roast duck dinner in Quanjude.
Zhang Junping was good at dancing and made full use of his strengths to drink Zhao Yulong and three others to the ground.
Of course, before drinking down, Zhang Junping did not forget to tell Zhao Yulong that the red ginseng trade will continue next year.
He can still pay for goods in foreign currency.
Zhao Yulong directly patted his chest and promised that he would send him more red ginseng next year.
Moreover, there is no need for Li Kaihe to contact the wagons. 856 Farm will take care of the wagon matters themselves.
Zhao Yulong still remembered Li Kaihe and him competing for foreign exchange.
Zhang Junping also told Zhao Yulong to send him a red ginseng purchase contract after returning.
Zhao Yulong also patted his chest in assurance.
Now, Zhang Junping is the uncle, and what he says is what he says.
After explaining everything, he started to drink freely.
Zhang Junping has no intention of selling this batch of red ginseng in China.
Domestically, although there is some price difference between BJ and Northeast, the profit is still not 30% higher.
Zhang Junping’s target market is Xiangjiang.
He had already planned to let Yang Ying register a trading company in Xiangjiang, then pay the taxes and go to Xiangjiang through normal export channels.
Then export from Xiangjiang to Benzi and Southeast Asia.
Red ginseng worth millions of dollars can’t even make a splash when it comes to markets in Japan and Southeast Asia.
In the past, the main exporting country of domestic red ginseng was Bangzi country.
The hateful Bangzi Country bought Chinese red ginseng and then screened it.
The first-class product is used as Korean ginseng and sold at high prices to Europe, America, Japan and Southeast Asia.
These products are directly sold under the name of Chinese red ginseng at low prices.
On the one hand, it monopolizes the market, and on the other hand, it slanders Chinese ginseng.
This has created a concept in the international ginseng market that Chinese ginseng is inferior and defective.
What Zhang Junping is doing now is to break the monopoly of Bangzi Country and let Chinese ginseng appear in its true colors in the international market.
The next day, after putting Zhao Yulong and the others on the train, Zhang Junping began to contact various partners and went to the steel rolling mill to buy new year goods.
Of course, we can't forget ourselves either.
After making the call, Zhang Junping calculated the supplies left in his hand and called Lu Guozhong to the office.
"Lao Lu, take Xiaoxia to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy five hundred five-pound plastic buckets.
Then we went to the streets to find a group of temporary workers to help us clean the plastic buckets."
"Manager Zhang, why did you buy so many plastic barrels?" Lu Guozhong asked in confusion.
"Tomorrow, on New Year's Day, I will give you benefits.
Soybean oil is packed directly into large iron barrels of 200 kilograms, and you are not allowed to separate it?" Zhang Junping explained.
"Oh! I know, I'll go right away!" When Lu Guozhong heard that it was soybean oil, he happily agreed and ran to buy a plastic bucket.
Zhang Junping wrote and drew on the paper again, took the abacus borrowed from the Finance Department, and did the math again.
The amount of benefits to be distributed is finally determined.
Each person has twenty kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of flour, five kilograms of soybean oil, five kilograms of pork, five kilograms of mutton, five kilograms of fungus, five kilograms of dried mushrooms, ten kilograms of dried fruits, a bunch of hairtail fish, ten kilograms of swimming crabs, five kilograms of prawns, and five kilograms of shrimps.
