After a while, the young man came out and smiled politely at Zhang Junping: "Comrade, the leader invites you to come in."

"Thank you!" Zhang Junping thanked him politely and followed the young man into the office.

President Liu has already stood in the middle of the office.

"Hello, President Liu!" Zhang Junping smiled and stretched out his hands.

"Hello!" President Liu also stretched out his hands to shake hands with Zhang Junping.

"Comrade, don't know what to call me?"

"My surname is Zhang, and I work in BJ Painting Store." Zhang Junping introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello, Manager Zhang! I just heard from Xiao Wang that you have a foreign exchange business to handle?" Manager Liu said politely and went straight to the topic.

"Yes!" Zhang Junping took out the check and handed it to President Liu, "President Liu should arrange for someone to check the check first, otherwise, we won't be able to talk properly next."

"Okay! Manager Zhang is a cheerful person!" Manager Liu didn't know what Zhang Junping meant, but he still nodded to the correspondent.

Xiao Wang stepped forward to take the check and turned around to check it.

Check verification is not only to verify the authenticity of the check, but also to verify whether the account that issued the check has so much funds.

Bad check scams were common in the 1980s and 1990s, and even in the early 21st century.

"Manager Zhang, the business of your painting shop seems to be much better recently than before!" Manager Liu personally made Zhang Junping a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"President Liu, a leader like you would actually pay attention to our painting shop?"

"Haha! To be honest, store manager Zhang said that I am personally more interested in calligraphy. When I have nothing to do, I like to write a few strokes, so I unconsciously pay attention to the painting shop.

Plus, the painting shop is not far from our bank, so..." Manager Liu said with a smile.

"It turns out that President Liu is also a calligraphy enthusiast. It happens that Director Li of Hongqi Steel Rolling Mill is also a calligraphy enthusiast. If President Liu is interested, I will set up a bureau later and let everyone communicate together. Then I will invite Mr. Qi Gong and our boss

The store manager will participate," Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Does Manager Zhang know Factory Director Li Kaihe?"

"Of course we know each other, we are old friends.

A few days ago, Director Li called me and invited me to attend their literary gathering." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Haha! This Li Kaihe's handwriting is not very good and he is very addicted. He started a book club circle and invited people to join it. I was also dragged into it several times.

Among them, I think Yang Shankui is pretty good and has some charm." Liu Xingchang said with a smile.

"President Liu also knows Factory Director Yang?" Zhang Junping laughed.

BJ's circle is really not big, so we just started talking about it.

"I know, the furniture in my house was made by Lao Yang!" Mr. Liu said with a smile.

"What a coincidence, Director Yang also sent people to knock out my furniture, and now Master Ma and the others are still busy working on it at my house!"

"Yes, yes! My furniture was also made by Master Ma. Master Ma's craftsmanship is among the best in the woodworking factory."

With a common topic, the two of them became more and more interested in each other. After chatting for about ten minutes, secretary Xiao Wang returned to the office with the check.

"President, there is no problem with the control. You can exchange it at any time." After saying that, he returned the check to Zhang Junping.

"Manager Zhang, do you want to exchange it into RMB or open a foreign exchange account?" Manager Liu asked with a smile.

The tone became a little more friendly.

Zhang Junping picked up the check and stabbed it twice, tearing the check into four pieces.

"Manager Zhang, what do you mean?" Manager Liu stood up in shock.

This is a cash check. If you tear up the check, it is equivalent to tearing up 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange.

No, even if the dollar is torn into four pieces, it can still be used.

However, the check cannot be used, let alone four pieces. If it is torn in half, it will be invalid.

"President Liu, don't get excited! I can write such a check at any time." Zhang Junping said, placing one of the check fragments in front of President Liu.

There is a bright red seal on it. There are four words on the seal, Zhang Junping's seal.

"President Liu, I forgot to introduce you just now. My surname is Zhang. I am the deputy manager of BJ Painting Store. My full name is Zhang Junping." Zhang Junping said with a faint smile.

"Manager Zhang, what do you mean? If Manager Zhang wants to make a joke with me, I think we are not familiar enough to joke." Manager Liu looked at the signature on the check and stared at Zhang Junping. asked in a deep voice.

"President Liu, don't worry.

I came today to discuss a business with Mr. Liu.

It's just that I don't want to waste favors and find Governor Liu through various connections, so I can only make this decision.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see Mr. Liu's face." Zhang Junping said with a leisurely smile.

"I don't know what kind of business Manager Zhang wants to discuss with me." Manager Liu softened his tone a little.

Zhang Junping's behavior of taking out the check and tearing it up, although there was an element of playfulness, also indirectly proved Zhang Junping's strength.

How can a person who can write a check for ten million dollars at will be a simple person?

To put it bluntly, no matter what age, capable people will be respected.

"I came to see Mr. Liu to discuss a loan business."

"Loan? Is it store manager Zhang's personal loan or a painting store loan?"

“Of course it’s a painting store loan!

Recently, art shops have been purchasing a large number of works from Beijing calligraphy and painting artists.

In just seven days, more than 300,000 yuan was spent.

Next, we will continue to collect and purchase works from famous artists and well-known young artists across the country.

Therefore, we need a lot of funds, I estimate it will be at least tens of millions.

That's why I came here to ask for help from President Liu!" Zhang Junping said his purpose with a smile.

"Store Manager Zhang, you don't seem to be short of this little money, right?"

"I'm not short of money, but the painting shop is short of money! Don't mix public and private matters." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Director Zhang, this loan requires formalities and the signature and seal of the person in charge of Xinhua Bookstore, your superior unit."

"President Liu, BJ Bookstore is no longer under the jurisdiction of Xinhua Bookstore. It has been placed under the management of the Municipal Press and Publication Bureau.

We are also an independent legal entity now, so we should be able to apply for loans independently, right?" Zhang Junping corrected with a smile.

"For this, it is best to have the Press and Publication Bureau issue a document agreeing to your painting shop's loan." Manager Liu explained.

"This is no problem!

Can President Liu arrange for someone to help summarize the materials we need to provide, including a sample format of the documents that need to be issued by the Press and Publication Bureau?"

"Manager Zhang, I don't quite understand why your art shop suddenly collects a large amount of art? I'm not trying to find out your secrets.

After all, if you want a loan, I must know the purpose of the loan, right?"

"It seems that although Mr. Liu is a calligraphy enthusiast, he is still not familiar with the calligraphy circle.

Otherwise, I wouldn't ask this question.

In fact, this is no secret. Our art shop is preparing for reform and plans to organize a world tour exhibition of Chinese art in April and May.

The main purpose is to promote traditional Chinese art and the charm of new Chinese art.

Secondly, it is selling Chinese art." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

After saying this, Manager Liu understood that he would collect low prices at home, go on tour abroad to hold exhibitions, raise the prices, and then sell them in exchange for foreign exchange.

"Manager Zhang, I understand when you say this. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people and promotes our Chinese culture.

I must support this kind of thing!

I wonder how much store manager Zhang plans to borrow?" Manager Liu asked with a smile.

"Let's take a loan of 20 million first! If it's not enough, we won't worry about it!" Zhang Junping said calmly.

"Okay! I'll ask Director Li from our bank's credit department to help you complete the loan procedures." President Liu was also very happy.

In this era, loans are simpler than in later generations.

Since they all belong to the country, they are naturally easy to talk to.

In later generations, in the 1980s and 1990s, many factories relied entirely on bank loans to pay wages.

You can imagine how easy it was to get a bank loan during this period.

Of course, there was also the reason for the previous chat. Although we met for the first time, we discovered after chatting that we are all friends of friends.

Since there are no outsiders, things will be easier to do.

Otherwise, it is not enough for the Press and Publication Bureau to issue a red-headed document. At the very least, a deputy mayor must make a phone call.

Manager Liu called Director Li to the office.

"Director Li, this is Manager Zhang of BJ Painting Store. They need a loan of 20 million to complete a task assigned by the city. Please help complete a related procedure." Manager Liu smiled at Director Li.

Explained.

"Okay, President!" Director Li nodded and agreed.

"Manager Zhang, please follow me! Come to my office and I will help you handle it." Director Li said to Zhang Junping politely.
