Chapter 43 There is nothing money can't buy

"Acheng, do you have a way?" After leaving grandma's room, Pan Jieying pulled her brother's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"I can only say try it." Gu Cheng frowned and said in a discussion tone, "Kaicheng Development Zone has only two businesses: industry and service industry. In Dongyi, external industry is managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; external service industry is managed by the Ministry of Culture and Sports - I ask Brother Quan, if he has any options. If he can find an opportunity to stuff us in, he will be able to pay a few percentage points of benefit."

When Pan Jieying heard this, she agreed.

Gu Cheng made an international long distance.

"Brother Quan, I have something to discuss with you - do you have friends who can find excuses to sneak into the Kaicheng Development Zone in the near future?"

The international long-distance signal was indeed not very good. Quan Shunyu, who was in a foreign country, took a long time to hear it clearly.

"What? Are you going to open the city? What are you doing?"

"Don't worry about what I do, just say whether I can do it or not."

"That's it..." Quan Shunyu thought for a while, "If you don't care about the name, I asked my friend to borrow the name of a tourism development company and you can get people to investigate - but you know, you have to make some joints and make sure you don't really grab the business."

The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism naturally has culture and tourism. Those who are close to the water and open publishing companies and travel agencies.

Gu Cheng was very straightforward: "No! I just went to see who is impatient to do a travel business."

"Then tell me what I want to do."

Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment and decided to win the trust: "You know, my grandmother was an orphan in the war. Her father died in Kaicheng and some of the relics were not taken out. If it was money, I would open 10% of the things and pay after getting them. How about it?"

At first, he wanted to give a fixed price, but he was afraid that Quan Shunyu would not care about it, so he still divided the money.

In this way, the other party will at least take care of him and get things, leaving the country safely, and will not give up halfway.

Quan Shunyu complained: "Who knows how much your things are worth? If 10% is the risk, I will be a bit too high. The fixed cost of the early handling..."

Gu Cheng thought for a while: "Then this way, if that thing is not worth much, I will at least make up for you to 100,000 yuan, RMB."

"That should be enough. I'll ask you first, wait for my phone number."

Quan Shunyu did not ask Gu Cheng to wait for a long time, and called back later that day. He said hello had been made and he could set off at any time - it was a place for "investment inspection".

Gu Cheng immediately booked the next day's air ticket.

Thinking about it, I was really hardworking. I only stayed at home for two nights this time when I returned to China. I didn’t even wash the dirty clothes in my suitcase, and I had to put new ones in.

Pan Jieying packed her brother's luggage overnight and took him to the airport early the next morning.

It was delivered to the door of the security check passage before Pan Jieying handed over the boarding box to his younger brother and tidied his collar:

"This time I will only have an inspection place, so I won't go. Be careful. The mooncakes in the bag are made of fresh meat and olive vegetables. They were just made last night, so they can be kept for a week. Don't eat them in Seoul, but go to Kaicheng before eating them - I heard that Beiyi doesn't even have to sell meat."

"Sister, OK. Beiyi is not as poor as the newspaper said. If you don't eat meat for a few days, you won't die. I'll leave."

Gu Cheng couldn't stand his sister's nagging and immediately passed the security check.

When will this day come to an end?

The terrible Cancer woman, even eating a meal every day.

I like three meals today and eating vegetarian food tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Isn’t it okay? Life is too regular, and being a human being has nothing to do.

...

When we arrived in Seoul, everything went smoothly.

Quan Shunyu picked up Gu Cheng directly at Incheon Airport, and did not return to Seoul City District. He went north to the border and met with his friend's investment inspection team. Gu Cheng also got into the same identity and entered the country with others.

Now it has only been half a month since the north and south are open, which is the hottest trend of investment in the south. Therefore, there are inspection teams organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every day.

It is only more than 80 kilometers from Seoul to Kaesong. It takes fifty or sixty kilometers from Incheon Airport to return to Seoul urban area - so it is not even farther to Kaesong directly at the airport than to go back to the city.

When entering the country, Gu Cheng saw many guys wearing green military uniforms surveillance from afar.

There are also military vehicles leading the way in front and behind the buses of the Southern Investment Tribunal to avoid seeing discordant citizens or being seen by citizens to see these discordant foreigners.

Gu Cheng looked at this posture a little anxious and asked in a low voice: "Brother Quan? Can't he move freely throughout the whole process?"

Quan Shunyu signaled that he didn't have to worry: "It's just that the military restricted areas on the border are stricter, and you can move freely when you go to the development zone."

Only then did Gu Cheng let go of his heart.

The bus drove to the core area of ​​the development zone, a simple hotel that had just been built not long ago was where the inspection team stayed.

Gu Cheng exchanged Yi coins for some Beiyi coins for local consumption, but found that the official exchange channel's price was 17 times that of the black market - similar to the concept of foreign exchange coupons in China back then.

In the 1980s, the official price of RMB against meter yuan was as low as 1 yuan8 for foreign exchange coupons; but on the black market, it took more than 8 yuan to exchange for 1 meter yuan. Therefore, the actual value of ordinary money and foreign exchange coupons that are nominally equivalent are more than 4 times different.

Now in Kaicheng, 17 yuan of ordinary Beiyi money is equivalent to 1 yuan of Beiyi foreign exchange money. What’s worse is that Beiyi did not anti-counterfeiting the differences between these two types of money, but only raised the price by restricting foreign exchange channels.

"Forget it, I haven't lived for a few days anyway, so I can't spend much money." Gu Cheng didn't want to worry about these trivial matters, so he pinched his nose and changed the money.

And he soon discovered that as long as there is a dual-track system, those in power will take advantage of this system.

The most privileged Beiyi, who was in the forefront, was of course the officer.

During dinner that day, Gu Cheng and Quan Shunyu had a table.

Next door there is a major officer named Jin Jiannan, pretending to be watching the scenery.

In fact, ghosts know that he is monitoring this group of people.

On the table, there were seven bowls and eight dishes, including roast duck, pork belly, ginseng chicken stewed, and sukiyaki pot...

On Jin Jiannan's table, there was only a small plate of pig blood rice intestines and a large bowl of kimchi.

Rice intestines are a good thing in Beiyi - glutinous rice is very precious and can only be used as a luxury side dish. It cannot be eaten as a staple food. Jin Jiannan's staple food is rough dumplings made of acorn noodles.

What's more, for the sake of national character and dignity, this plate of rice sausage was specially added with more rare pig blood today.

Usually, when there are no AIA people, soy sauce is used instead of pig blood.

Gu Cheng observed this officer. Although he was not a senior and powerful person in the development zone, he could still decide within one acre of three points. Anyway, this person is now responsible for monitoring some inspectors.

"Captain Jin, I'm sorry to bother you, come and sit down."

"Cough...no need!" Jin Jiannan looked shiny and refused sternly.

"Why are the Beiyi people so honest? Each dish is so large? It is easy for two people to eat eight dishes in Seoul. You can't eat them at all."

Gu Cheng and Quan Shunyu cooperated to burp, and then Gu Cheng picked his teeth and suggested: "It's shameful to waste, why don't you give me the whole thing?"

Jin Jiannan struggled for a moment: "Hmph, those who pay attention to the country actually know that waste is shameful. It seems that you two still have some help."

After striking the scene, Jin Jiannan sat down quickly.

"We are full, and Captain Jin helps us relieve some of the crime of waste."

Five minutes later, all five dishes were wiped out - based on the amount of domestic Northeast cuisine.

Jin Jiannan ate so much that she was covered in oil and wiping her mouth to complain: "You southerners have a very small appetite."

If you are willing to eat, you will be able to say the following words.

Gu Cheng said he wanted to go out for a walk. If Jin Jiannan was convenient, he would also like to exchange more Beiyi coins.

Change according to the official price.

Seeing that these two young people finally got enlightened, Jin Jiannan didn't hide it. He preached: "It should have been a long time since they are both 17 times, it's better to make money for me than to make money for them... And you two are ignorant at first glance. What's the use of getting money from the south? Those who know how to do it will take Mi Yuan, that's better!"

It was Quan Shunyu's first time here, and of course he was not as good as the real investors in the group.

"Huh? Didn't you break up with Midi? What's the use of Miyuan?"

Jin Jiannan's face turned red and she was embarrassed to answer positively: "How do I know how they use it! Anyway, it's easier to use than Southern Money!"

Unfortunately, Gu Cheng and Quan Shunyu did not bring Mi Yuan.

Gu Cheng scratched his head and pulled out two stacks of blue paper from the box he carried with him: "Then can this be used?"

Jin Jiannan's pupils "shiny" emitted a ray of light.

"Renminbi?! It's easy to use, of course it's easy to use. This is better than Miyuan in our Beiyi... Wait!" Jin Jiannan said, standing up alertly, "Don't you come from the south? How come there are so many RMB!"

Could it be a spy?

When Jin Jiannan almost got scared when he thought of someone who was in a military discipline inspection.

Could it be that the two little beasts on the other side had just recorded it? Is it that he blocked the promotion of a colleague, so someone wanted to plot against us?

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a wealthy Chinese businessman doing business in Dongyi..."

"So that's how it is." Jin Jiannan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her cold sweat.

Gu Cheng said that he wanted to go to a neighborhood in the north of the city the next morning and had been demolished and was about to be transformed into a development zone to take a look.

Free action without anyone following.

Jin Jiannan glanced up and down with caution: "What's the best thing about that kind of broken place?"

Gu Cheng kept talking nonsense: "You don't understand this! Kaicheng was one of the three ancient capitals. Now Ping'an has been demolished and built like this. How many historical sites are left in Dongyi? We are engaged in tourism development, so we want to find some folk old town and old streets, protective transformation, and new projects."

Quan Shunyu also echoed: "Yes, you don't understand. After our southerners are rich, they will be so polite."

The Beiyi people are still struggling to have rice, so naturally they don’t know the mentality of the rich. Since capitalists say that rich people are good at this, maybe it’s true.

For the sake of the RMB, there are no obstacles in this matter.

The next morning, Gu Cheng and Quan Shunyu boarded the road in military vehicles.

The northern suburbs of Kaicheng are an old neighborhood that has been built during the Japanese occupation period and has a history of 70 years. Now, with the new development zone plan, it has been included in the scope of demolition and reconstruction - so the people there have been emptied and no property left behind.
