Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 95 Clear Stupidity

The small bed in Huang Jiaying's dormitory was probably only 1.2 meters or 1.4 meters long, but it was not big enough for two adults to sleep on. So that night, she slept with half of her body lying on Cao Yukun.

After waking up, she looked radiant. Except for not daring to walk, complaining about swelling and gasping for cold air, she looked perfectly fine in other aspects. However, Cao Yukun felt numb on half of his body. He got up and shook his arms for a long time before he felt better.

Huang Jiaying did not allow him to wash up here, fearing that someone would see him, and she drove Cao Yukun out at just after six in the morning. Cao Yukun had no choice but to walk to the north of the city, while keeping an eye on the shops on both sides of the street. When he saw one was open, he went in and bought a new set of toothbrush and toothpaste, and then went back to the garden to wash up.

This morning, Xu Hualei and Xie Zhaofang's silk factory were going to sign a contract in the county government compound, and there was also a small ceremony. From any perspective, Cao Yukun should have shown up.

After all, it was he who facilitated this business.

He had arrived at the county government office a little before nine in the morning. He subconsciously walked upstairs and knocked on Zhao Xiaolan's office door. However, within two minutes of sitting down, Zhao Xiaolan got up to check the venue. Cao Yukun didn't want to stay in the office of a female leader, so he also got up and went downstairs.

This time when I went to the computer room to find Xie Xiaoyu, I felt much more familiar with the place.

After she came out, she turned around and closed the door, smiling shyly. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, she suddenly became bolder than last time and took the initiative to ask, "I was waiting for you to call my pager, but you didn't call?"

"Hey, busy! Look, didn't your dad tell you? The contract is going to be signed today!"

She nodded. "I heard from my dad. She said you helped to build the business."

"No, it's not a favor! Your father said that the silk factory is a dowry! Otherwise, I wouldn't help him do anything."

Xie Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

It seems that no one knows a daughter better than her father. Xie Zhaofang's evaluation is correct. Xie Xiaoyu is indeed very shy - especially compared with Huang Jiaying, who is quick-witted and dares to say anything.

Cao Yukun was in high spirits today, even more so than when he sold the subscription certificates to Jin Zhiqiang and deposited a huge sum of 60 million in cash into his account.

The main thing was that he verified it himself and found that he really had some capital.

You can do things that would seem unorthodox, even shameless and obscene according to the education you received growing up, and you can accomplish them smoothly without any real obstacles.

So I dared to spend more freely. "Your father is treating us at noon. He has booked the restaurant in the guesthouse. We want to celebrate properly. Are you going?"

She blushed, "Why should I go? I'm not a leader."

"Then I won't go either. Let's find somewhere else to eat at noon?"

She grunted for a long time, and her peach blossom eyes looked up at him again, "Okay!"

So at noon, Cao Yukun really just showed up at the guesthouse and then left. In order to prevent Xie Xiaoyu from looking shy, he even asked Du Xuehong to drive the car to the garden and let him get off. Then he drove himself to the gate of the county government to wait for Xie Xiaoyu.

She came out alone five minutes earlier than the agreed time. Cao Yukun rolled down the car window and waved at her, so she walked over quickly and got on the passenger seat.

Find a place, eat and chat.

This girl is really like what her father said, honest to the point of being a little stupid.

A little silly.

To be frank, in the past six months since he traveled through time, among all the girls Cao Yukun had met and left an impression on, when it comes to quick wit, intelligence, response, and conversation... she is absolutely at the bottom in almost every aspect!

There is no need to say much about Huang Jiaying's sharp tongue and her smart mind. Hu Zihong has been in the underworld for many years and started from scratch and made his fortune by stepping on the red line, so there is no need to explain his cleverness and intelligence.

Although Song Yuhua is generally cold in nature, she is very smart. Song Yuqian is cuter and purer, but she is also a girl with great talents. She is also more tolerant and calm.

Wang Tingfang...not to mention.

He is the one who independently manages the most luxurious club in Shanghai!
Even if there are powerful forces behind her supporting her, it is not easy for her to just build up the place!

At least from the current impression, apart from her appearance, she is also a first-class talent.

But...Xie Xiaoyu is beautiful!
Moreover, Cao Yukun felt that the dumber she was, the prettier she was.

You can be sure that she is not seducing you on purpose, because she probably doesn't know what seducing a man means at all. However, when her clear peach blossom eyes look at you, she always seems to have a little smile on her face. She is absolutely natural, pure and seductive.

There's something... clear and stupid.

And she was so obedient that they became more and more familiar with each other as they chatted. Cao Yukun even couldn't help thinking - Ma Zhong Chi Tu, you are so stupid, for a girl like this, you should have chased her directly, you would definitely catch up with her!
She is three years older than Cao Yukun and the same age as Huang Jiaying, also 22 years old this year. However, she seems to know nothing about many things. She doesn't pay attention and doesn't want to pay attention. But if Cao Yukun takes the initiative to tease her, she is willing to take the initiative to share some interesting things over the years - her friend, classmate, and so on.

Moreover, she neither worships money nor hates poverty.

Or even a feeling of being completely indifferent to these things.

Her father bought her a pager, which she thought was great. When asked why she didn't just get a mobile phone, since her father surely had the money, her answer was: I don't have anyone to call, and no one calls me!
Ah... a girl who is very ignorant, very silly, but also very cute.

But the strange thing was that after having dinner with her, and then sitting in a teahouse on the side of the road to drink tea and continue chatting, Cao Yukun felt unprecedentedly relaxed - he suspected that it was mainly because he had overcome his inner demons yesterday, and so he suddenly felt that his thoughts were clear.

But one has to admit that it is really stress-free to get along with this silly girl!

Even when they were leaving the restaurant after dinner, Cao Yukun took the initiative to hold her hand, but she just blushed, lowered her head shyly, and didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting - either she would act coquettishly, or even pretend to struggle, or you would just bite your lip and look at her sideways, which would be considered a reaction!

But she didn't even make any such move and just obediently let him hold her hand.

This even made Cao Yukun a little uncomfortable to adapt to.

Although he knew very well in his heart that this girl was definitely not the kind of casual girl that would appear in society thirty years later...

"You're so good that you'll let me hold your hand?"

After sitting down in the teahouse, he asked her directly. She smiled again, and after a while, she looked up at him slightly, naturally showing all kinds of charm, "You... are very good! I still remember the chocolate you gave me, it was delicious!"

"Any more?"

She laughed again, grunted for a long time, and said, "You are quite powerful when you hit people! Zhang Weimin is so fat, he must be very heavy, but you can actually pick him up with one hand and throw him so far!"

Cao Yukun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This girl is really interesting!
So I couldn't help but tease her, "Besides, is there anything else?"

She really used her brain, thought about it again, and said with a smile: "My dad said that you are very smart!"

"Go on! Think of another one!"

She couldn't help laughing, feeling more and more embarrassed. "I've been so big, and no one dared to pursue me! There was one in junior high school, but my dad beat him and he expelled me. After that, there was no more. I think you boys are so weird. There are so many people secretly looking at me, but no one comes to me to confess their love. There are also boys who secretly put love letters in the hole of my desk. The writing is very good, but they don't even leave their names. I don't even know who they are. You are different. Not only did you dare to beat Zhang Weimin, you also dared to come to me in front of so many people and gave me chocolates."

Cao Yukun was more and more surprised as he listened, and laughed, "So, you like boys who are brave?"

She thought for a moment, her eyes swept across, her charm startling, and then she nodded solemnly, "You're great. You dared to hold my hand on our first date! My father said that men and women should be like this. Do what you want to do quickly, and don't hesitate and have all kinds of random thoughts. You will waste time in vain and may miss the opportunity in the end."

"And... you're so pretty! As pretty as me!"

Cao Yukun couldn't help laughing again.

After laughing, he said, "I think you are really good-looking, too. You are as good-looking as me!"

After sitting around and drinking a pot of tea, he drove her back to the county government. Before getting off the car, she tilted her head slightly and looked at me with that clear, stupid look in her eyes. She asked, "When are you going to date me next time?"

Cao Yukun thought about it, put away his smile, and reached out to her with some embarrassment, grabbed her hand, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work recently. I'm planning to go on a long trip these two days. Wait for me to come back, okay?"

She pursed her lips and nodded obediently, "Then remember to come find me when you come back!"

"it is good!"

…………

Cao Yukun is really considering going to Shanghai.

Because the strange thing is that he was sure that he was no longer short of money, and he was also very clear that starting a business or doing industry was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two. But as the weather was getting hotter day by day, he inexplicably felt that he could no longer sit around picking up girls.

When the weather gets hotter, more people drink beverages, so he always feels as if he earns less money for every extra day he delays - the machines are so good and well maintained, they can be turned on at any time, and they make money when they are turned on, but they can only sit there idle and he has to spend money on maintenance every month!

Not making a profit means losing money!

With this idea in mind, he idled around in Fuping County for a few days. Mainly, he went to pick up Song Yuqian at noon on Sunday and invited her to have a meal together. After the meal, they found a place to sit hand in hand for half the afternoon. He finally satisfied his craving for Song Yuqian's little hand. Then he felt that he could not afford to waste any more time, so he got up early on Monday morning and asked Du Xuehong to drive him to the Magic City.

It was not yet eleven o'clock when the car entered the city. As soon as he entered the city, Cao Yukun turned on the mobile phone he bought in Shanghai and directly dialed Jin Zhiqiang's mobile phone.

It had only been ten days since he left Shanghai, so he didn't feel very strongly about returning home. Moreover, Jin Zhiqiang seemed to be getting more and more successful recently. He was even happier when he received the call and found out it was Cao Yukun. When he heard that he wanted to visit his company, he immediately agreed and said he would be waiting for him at the company.

So the car drove directly to the downstairs of his company.

Cao Yukun came to see him, not for any other reason, nor to reminisce about the past, but with only one purpose, to exchange money.

Exchange Hong Kong dollars.

At present, there is an exchange rate set by the state, which is one to five. All foreign exchange coming in from outside is priced in rice dollars. One rice dollar can be exchanged for five RMB at a bank.

But this exchange rate is not recognized at all in the international market!
In recent years, the market price has basically fluctuated between 8.4 and 8.8. If you go to places like the capital and Shanghai where there are many embassies and consulates, it is easy to find black market channels for exchange, where the exchange rate for one rice dollar is maintained at 9.5 to 10 yuan all year round. If you go to a regular bank, the state will really exchange rice dollars for you at a ratio of 1:5, but the problem is that you must have a reasonable, legal and regulatory official letter and be a state-recognized official overseas official or student, in order to get a very limited exchange quota per person each year.

As for the situation in 20 or 30 years, where as long as you want to travel abroad, you can easily exchange tens of thousands of dollars, and the exchange rate is updated in real time, don't even think about it in this era.

However, not to mention that Cao Yukun is not a civil servant, it is not easy for him to get the conditions that can be exchanged with the government. Even if he can, he goes to Hongkong to do business, and it is obviously not a matter of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to pave the way - to expand the market, it is estimated that it will cost at least millions or even tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the early stage!

The Hong Kong dollar and the rice knife are directly linked, the exchange rate is very stable, and once you change to one, you can change to another at any time in the international market!
Is there any way? A large amount of exchange channels?

It really does.

Foreign traders——

In his previous life, Cao Yukun had seen a video in which a big shot talked about the issue of asset loss.

In the early days, it was because of the unreasonable fixed exchange rate in the country. In the later days, it was a conscious withholding in order to facilitate various business activities abroad at any time. In addition, there was also a tax payment issue. As long as the money was not returned, it would not be reported and no tax would be paid.

Anyway, the final result is that exporting companies often choose to keep large amounts of foreign exchange overseas, whether it is Bank of China, HSBC, Standard Chartered, or Citibank, as long as they do not convert the foreign exchange into RMB.

This resulted in the fact that, although the statistical data showed a large trade surplus every year, the country's foreign exchange reserves did not grow over the years - they all remained overseas, and later due to the turmoil, a lot of them ran away!

Before in Shanghai, Cao Yukun had eaten and drank with these foreign trade people many times, and he had already known a little about the situation. Recently in Fuping, he had dinner with Xu Hualei again, which made him even more certain of this.

Therefore, if you want to exchange rice knives or Hong Kong dollars, you can definitely find Jin Zhiqiang.
