Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 622 Foreign Exchange Coupon

  Actually, Yang Chen also really wanted to sell the game consoles to the inland, but the restrictions on imported goods from the inland during this period were too strict.

  Products such as game consoles are not needed in the inland, and the price is a little expensive, which is unacceptable to ordinary people.

   To reduce costs, there is no way to do it for a while, at least not now, so Yang Chen can only watch it.

   Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn’t want to make money from game consoles in the outback, and he still remembers that in the early days of the outback, the attitude towards game consoles was strictly prohibited.

   After the rise of inland games, it was still entering the Internet era, and smartphones and online games directly replaced the current game consoles.

   There are too many lucrative industries in the inland, and he doesn't need to fight against the big guys on this.

   "This game console has three prices, and this one is the most expensive."

After    finished speaking, Zhou Dafa looked at Yang Chen and asked, "Does the boss want to sell it? If you sell it, will you use human name coins or foreign exchange coupons?"

   Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Is there a difference?"

   Zhou Dafa explained: "If it is Renminbi, this game console costs 900 yuan, and foreign exchange coupons only cost 130 yuan."

   Hearing the selling price of the vendor, Yang Chen thought about it and muttered, "This is double the price!"

   Zhou Dafu didn't explain what he said, standing there smiling and not answering.

  ‘Is a double price a lot? ’ Zhou Dafa secretly shook his head.

  This game console is not like other things, it is not a duty-free or low-duty import.

   This doubled or he saw that Yang Chen might be an overseas Chinese, he might be knowledgeable, he knew the price of game consoles, and he couldn’t slash it as he wanted, so he halved it.

  Otherwise, on the original basis, if you double it, you can still sell it.

   These days, the inland is not rich but not rich, but you have to see where it is, like the foot of the imperial city, you really can't make generalizations and look down on everyone.

  The people who have no money are only the common people, the dignitaries, and the rich. It’s just that on weekdays, everyone doesn’t show anything.

  If no one came to buy this thing, he would not spend a lot of money to buy it, and he would drink the northwest wind without making any profit.

   "Do you have a battery?" Yang Chen glanced at the stall.

   "Here, put it on yourself."

   Chow Tai Fook casually handed Yang Chen a new set of batteries on the booth, and he didn't even ask for money. Compared to selling the game console, a set of batteries was worth a few dollars.

   Yang Chen continued to ask while removing the battery, "Boss, do you have a game card here?"

Zhou Dafa didn't give the game card to Yang Chen generously this time, he tried his best to show a kind expression, and said: "There are game cards, but there is a built-in game in the game machine. Boss, you can play for a while, if you feel good, then How about the game card?"

   As the battery was put in, Yang Chen pressed the switch, and a familiar voice sounded.

   The built-in game of the game console is Tetris. While playing, Yang Chen said, "Boss, how much is your game card?"

   Zhou Dafa introduced: "The same three types are available, three yuan, six yuan, and nine yuan. There are three games in each game card."

   "Is it counted by name and currency?" Yang Chen asked casually.

   "Uh..." Zhou Dafa choked and said with a smirk: "It's foreign exchange coupons, people's coins and food stamps can also be used, but their prices will change."

   "Okay, let's get a copy of the game card you have on the stand, do you still have a game console? Give me a new one."

   This time he went north, because the time was too fast, Yang Chen forgot to bring the game console to pass the time.

   Xiaolian brought one, but it was occupied by He Chaoqiong. He could only be empty-handed, howling and singing sad love songs silently.

   Zhou Dafa heard that Yang Chen wanted two of the most expensive game consoles in one breath. While he was relieved, he was also a little cautious.

The reason for    is naturally that he is happy because the game console is sold, but the distress is that the price is not slaughtered enough, and the profit is not enough.

   After paying the money, Yang Chen handed the game console to Xiaolian who was behind him. During this time, He Chaoqiong had been occupying other people's game consoles, and the new ones had become old, so naturally they couldn't be disadvantaged.

  Although Xiaolian’s game console was also given by Yang Chen, but since the thing was given away, it was someone else’s. It’s not good if his own woman occupied it and didn’t return it.

   After walking for a while, Yang Chen suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Song Xue who was beside him and asked, "Sister Song, can this foreign exchange coupon be used everywhere?"

  Song Xue: "…"

  It should be said that this foreign exchange coupon was only issued last year, and it has been circulated in the market.

   However, most of the holders of foreign exchange vouchers are foreigners visiting China, returning overseas Chinese and compatriots from the three places.

   With the reform and opening up, the number of foreigners and overseas Chinese is increasing, and the domestic market supply is very tight at this time, and the daily necessities of domestic residents (such as grain, oil, meat, cloth, etc.) are still rationed.

Although    people's famous coins have long been circulated in the market, most of the things that people use on hand can still be directly exchanged for food stamps for daily necessities.

  Because the inland prohibits the direct use of foreign currencies, and because of the lack of international influence, Renminbi cannot be directly exchanged with international currencies such as the US dollar and the British pound.

  In order to meet the domestic expenses of foreigners and overseas Chinese who come to China, foreign exchange coupons were born.

   At the same time, in order to facilitate foreigners and overseas Chinese to buy daily necessities in the inland, a number of hotels and shops have also been built in China.

  According to regulations, foreigners must exchange their foreign currency for foreign exchange certificates at the National Bank or designated foreign exchange agency before entering the inland.

   The foreign exchange coupons held must also be used in the equivalent value of RMB within the specified range.

   It’s just that the foreign exchange coupons have just been released, and there are many places that cannot be taken care of. For example, the small vendors in Zhongguan Village are not within the scope of using foreign exchange coupons.

   But at the foot of the imperial city, people like Zhou Dafa, who are more than a monkey, do not reject foreign exchange coupons.

   And there is no strict requirement on this, most of them keep one eye closed.

  In any case, foreign exchange coupons can only be used domestically. When they go abroad, they are not accepted by any international banks, just like personal tokens.

   As long as Yang Chen spends the money, it will eventually end up in the hands of Zhongyin, turning his left hand to his right, doesn't make much difference.

   When Yang Chen came to the inland, he had already exchanged a lot of foreign exchange coupons at the Bank of China branch in Hong Kong.

As a nouveau riche, Yang Chen will never allow himself to go out on the street without money in his pocket. It is slightly different from Hong Kong dollars. Foreign exchange coupons are only 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 1 yuan, 50 yuan, and 107 yuan. face value.

   However, the foreign exchange coupons in Yang Chen's bag have a minimum face value of ten yuan, and most of them are one hundred yuan and fifty yuan.

  The black leather bag is full of money, tens of thousands of real gold and silver. Even a big man like Junzi will feel sore hands after carrying it for a long time.
