After arranging the affairs of his subordinates, Ning Weimin finally no longer had to be distracted and began to concentrate on his own procedures for going abroad.

Since Pierre Cardin also has a branch in Tokyo, he applied for a business visa.

In addition, his Japanese proficiency is quite good, so he can contact the Pierre Cardon branch in Tokyo on related matters.

So things went smoothly.

On the contrary, Song Huagui was about to lead the eleven selected models out of the country to perform in Paris, and encountered a lot of troubles.

If nothing else, this trip abroad is under an official visa, which is regarded as a political mission. There are many units that require approval and sealing.

Each girl's family situation is different, so preparing documents and going through the political review is a rather troublesome task.

Wouldn’t it be a lot of effort to get a passport?

In addition, the superior also gave an additional instruction, requiring the models to be made into cheongsams to wear, hoping to blind foreigners with our classic national costumes.

That shoddy thing will definitely not work. It must be made of high-end materials and high-end workmanship, and it must be made quickly according to the different body shapes of each model.

So recently, Song Huagui has focused almost all his time and attention on this matter.

I was so busy that I didn't have much time to listen to Ning Weimin's work report before leaving.

Even when Ning Weimin offered advice to repay the company and persuaded her to exchange part of the company's working capital into Japanese yen, she didn't take it seriously.

So while waiting in the capital for Zou Guodong to return from Shanghai and take over, Ning Weimin could only take care of himself first.

He gathered together as much money as possible and planned to exchange it into Japanese yen as soon as possible through various channels.

And his main hope was placed on Zeng Xianzi.

As mentioned before, in early June, gold lighters were selling well.

Zeng Xianzi, who was overjoyed, not only reached a new cooperative relationship with Ning Weimin.

And in order to repay Ning Weimin, he promised to exchange a large amount of Japanese yen for him.

But after that, Zeng Xianzi has been running around in his hometown in the south, busy taking care of the prosperous business in Hong Kong City, Huacheng, and Shenzhen, and seems to have forgotten to fulfill his promise.

So at this point, Ning Weimin really couldn't wait any longer.

On the grounds that gold lighters need to be imported and arranged for production, Zeng Xianzi was urged to go north as soon as possible.

To be honest, his little thoughts were so obvious that Zeng Xianzi could tell at a glance that he was repaying a favor.

But the problem is that he is purely forced by the situation and has no choice.

You must know that foreign exchange in mainland China is not only scarce these days, but also difficult to exchange.

What's more, we are also caught up in the social turmoil of investigating "treacherous masters".

Nowadays, in the capital city, even those "scalpers" who usually hang around foreign-related places like flies every day have almost disappeared.

Seeing that the Plaza Accord was only two months away, how could Ning Weimin not be worried?

With so much cash in his hand, how much can he exchange just by chatting up foreigners?

Not to mention the domestic environment, the harder it is to exchange, the higher the price of foreign exchange will rise.

I heard that for people who want to go abroad recently, the black market price for exchanging U.S. dollars has jumped to 1 to 5.05.

If Ning Weimin really waited until after the Plaza Accord to exchange for Japanese yen, the principal would not have doubled, but would have shrunk by half for no reason.

Think about it, can he take such a big loss?

Where is the difference between inside and outside?

Why don't you die before you leave the army?

Therefore, Ning Weimin chose the lesser of the two powers, and could only appear to be a bit petty.

In this way, under Ning Weimin's invitation that "the drunkard is not interested in drinking", Zeng Xianzi woke up in time.

He quickly rushed to the capital with enough movements and raw materials to produce two hundred gold lighters.

Then, with the help of Ning Weimin, we quickly reached an agreement with the gold wire inlay factory in Beijing on the processing styles and production costs, and signed an OEM contract.

He finally had time to help Ning Weimin.

However, what happened next was a little different from what Ning Weimin thought.

Originally, Ning Weimin thought that Zeng Xianzi would use the convenience of his Hong Kong-funded company to operate this trip.

In this case, you can also make some profit from the price difference.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the currency exchange, Zeng Xianzi just called him and asked him to bring the check or bank deposit receipt to be exchanged and drive to the lobby lounge of the Great Wall Hotel to meet him.

It wasn't until the two parties actually met that Zeng Xianzi whispered to him face to face that he would go to a company upstairs to exchange currency for him.

The exchange rate between RMB and Japanese yen is one to sixty.

He also told him not to talk too much and to just listen to his own arrangements for a while.

Co-author Zeng Xianzi is just a middleman!

I have to say that Ning Weimin was quite surprised by this.

He didn't expect that Zeng Xianzi would actually make money without making money, and use it to help others.

But he had no worries about such a transaction.

If nothing else, he relies on the close cooperative relationship between Goldlion and Pierre Cardin.

To put it bluntly, if he was deceived, it would be equivalent to Zeng Xianzi personally destroying the basis of cooperation between the two companies, and the losses to both companies would be immeasurable.

No one can do such a stupid thing.

What's more, this exchange ratio is quite satisfactory. Ning Weimin silently calculated it and was overjoyed.

You know, the current international exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen is one to two hundred and four.

This is equivalent to Zeng Xianzi's promise that he can exchange RMB for US dollars at a ratio of one to four.

Although the current domestic official price of the U.S. dollar to the RMB is only 1:2.8, the adjustment price is 1:3.08.

But the question is, can people who have no way to exchange the official price and the adjusted price get it?

Not to mention that he brought three large checks in his hand, and this time he planned to eat a fat man in one bite.

He is not that greedy and knows how precious time is.

As long as it's cheaper than the black market price and he can redeem all the money he has, it's suitable for him.

Therefore, Ning Weimin followed Zeng Xianzi by taking the elevator to the executive floor of the Great Wall Hotel without saying a word.

Standing behind him without any doubt, she watched him knock on the door of a room with the nameplate "Gangcheng Xinjia Business Co., Ltd."

Inside this executive suite, it really looks like a Hong Kong-funded company.

There is no shortage of desks and chairs, telephones, fax machines, copy machines, and busy office workers. It looks very formal.

And it actually has its own security guard.

The person who opened the door was a tall man in a black suit, who was responsible for guarding the door.

He chattered a few words to Zeng Xianzi in Cantonese first, and seemed to have verified their identities before leading them inside.

When I walked to the door of the inner room, unexpectedly, there was another man in a suit holding the door.

It can be said that it is heavily fortified and heavily guarded.

But when the door of this room was opened, the scene inside made Ning Weimin immediately realize the necessity of this measure.

Because on the sofa in the corner of the room, there was a man and a woman, taking out fried chips from an open suitcase, counting and recording them attentively.

One person ordered U.S. dollars, and the other ordered Hong Kong dollars.

According to Ning Weimin's visual inspection, the amount of foreign currency in front of the two of them was not small, worth at least seven or eight hundred thousand yuan.

In mainland China, this is indeed worthy of someone taking the risk.

And obviously, this company seems to be quite prosperous and definitely not short of money.

What is even more surprising is that the real person in charge in this room is not the greasy middle-aged man Ning Weimin imagined.

Sitting behind the executive desk was a tall, intellectual beauty.

He is in his early thirties, wearing a business suit, glasses, and very fashionable makeup, and his image is very outstanding.

When the beautiful woman saw them, she stood up and greeted them with a smile.

He enthusiastically extended his hand and shook hands with Zeng Xianzi and Ning Weimin in turn.

However, the beauty did not say a word about the transaction to be carried out by both parties, nor did she introduce herself to Ning Weimin.

She just smiled and looked at Zeng Xianzi, her eyes full of content.

So Zeng Xianzi tacitly agreed.

Immediately, Ning Weimin was asked to take out his foreign bank account number and domestic checks and hand them over to this beauty.

Ning Weimin, by this time, had somewhat understood.

I vaguely realized that I had probably arrived at a shadow bank, also known as the legendary underground bank.
