But from this moment on, things started to go completely smoothly.
Perhaps it was the quiet and comfortable environment here that had an effect. Although the "little wife" and "little cheese" were extremely uncomfortable with this bitter medicine soup-like thing, they could sit on such a comfortable sofa and sip the price.
It's expensive stuff, and it does feel different from standing on the street drinking soda.
It seems that you have become noble from head to toe. Even if you put on a pretense for others to see, you can force yourself to become more stable and consistent with the environment.
Even more fortunately, although there were very few people here in the morning, after they waited for a while, a blond man and a woman came into the cafe.
As soon as the coffee requested by the two foreigners was served, Hong Yanwu was like a long-awaited hunter who finally seized the opportunity and took action without hesitation.
At this time, the "little wife" and his wife were watching Hong Yanwu's every move. They even blushed and looked at the waiter standing in a corner of the restaurant and the waiter leaving with the plate, for fear that they would suspect Hong Yanwu.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu just waved his hand and put the card on the table, and he was easily welcomed by the two foreigners and sat down. They looked like acquaintances, which was very natural. The waiter didn't even look at it.
Take a look.
There was no trouble in following and he just looked at the price comparison card that Hong Yanwu took out. The foreign man nodded, then took out his wallet and started counting the bills.
In this way, Hong Yanwu succeeded and successfully concluded his first transaction. He exchanged 315 yuan for a foreign exchange certificate of 300 yuan at a ratio of 1.05:1.
As for the benefits gained from it, the "little wife" and her husband soon realized it.
An hour later, near noon, when they found no more hunting targets and were about to leave the cafe to eat, Hong Yanwu paid the bill in RMB.
At this time, "Little Wife" and "Little Cheese" discovered the article inside. The original price on the drink list was 1.5 yuan a cup, but this was the price of a foreign exchange coupon. If the bill was paid in RMB, it would be 2 yuan a cup.
According to the waiter, this is the rule.
From this we can know what the quality of the foreign exchange coupons marked "equal to RMB" is. Calculated based on this ratio, Hong Yanwu actually earned 85 for the 300 foreign exchange coupons he exchanged. This is almost equivalent to the fact that they resold it.
The profit from a TV set.
Of course, it is impossible to only spend money in Beijing hotels with foreign exchange coupons. If it is in other places, the gap may not be so high. But it is already worth it.
On the other hand, are foreigners who exchange foreign exchange certificates for RMB stupid?
They are not stupid either. Since private shops and non-foreign-related hotels are not allowed to collect foreign exchange coupons, it is particularly difficult for foreigners to buy daily necessities. In fact, foreigners are eager to have some RMB in their hands, so as to avoid making a special trip to foreign-related stores for shopping.
Not only are private goods much cheaper, but you can also buy things that are not sold in high-end stores.
On the same day, Hong Yanwu and the others came back from dinner and went to the coffee shop again. By 7pm, they began to take turns and asked eight more tables of guests. Except for being rejected twice, deals were reached on the other several occasions.
Not only did the "little wife" and "little cheese" say "easy". Hong Yanwu also gradually discovered that foreigners seemed to be more eager to own RMB than they were.
You know, there are no peers doing this at this time, it is completely a seller's market, so the last two exchanges were even at a fair price.
As a result, on this day, the three of them exchanged a total of 2,300 yuan in foreign exchange certificates. According to the amount exchanged by the "little wife" and his wife, Hong Yanwu gave them 60 yuan. It was based on 1,200 yuan.
Five commissions are calculated.
In other words, if they exchanged all the foreign exchange certificates on this day by themselves, then they would get one hundred and fifteen yuan. If they work harder, what if one works here and the other works in Youyi? That is still possible
Double.
And that's not all, Hong Yanwu also told them, considering that some foreigners are "chicken thieves" who will not give up profits or exchange them. In the future, when they completely go it alone, they can use a ratio of 7%. Anyway, he is based on the amount of the foreign exchange coupons.
Pay them money, and any profit will be theirs.
In addition, the "young wives" couple have to admit that the working conditions are much happier than selling movie tickets or running a TV factory. Not only is it not tiring, it is simply enjoyable.
From then on, they would either sit together to drink coffee, read newspapers, or go shopping, chatting, and earn money easily. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? It is like a pie falling from the sky.
So the "little wife" and "little cheese" were all embarrassed. They felt that they were just trying to steal Hong Yanwu's money. They had to ask Hong Yanwu to lower the exchange ratio.
But Hong Yanwu insisted on this and said, "Don't worry about me. In fact, the more you earn, the more I will earn. It's just that my profits come from another line. For safety reasons
, for your own good, I won’t tell you. I leave this matter to you for peace of mind. As long as you keep it confidential, don’t attract other people’s attention, and just make a fortune quietly. To put it bluntly,
The good times won't last long, and soon others will see the benefits here. Then it will be just as hard to do."
From then on, everything became a matter of course and familiar. Although the "little wife" couple dressed beautifully and ran out every day and had to carry neighbors and acquaintances on their backs, which was a bit regretful of "walking at night in brocade clothes". But life went by.
It is indeed beautiful.
Think about it, Jingcheng Hotel and Friendship Store. They are the places that everyone dreams of and want to go in and out of. They are comfortable all year round and have food and drink. If nothing else, just going in and shopping is an eye-opener. Not to mention the large
Are you waiting for them to earn a lot of money?
In the first three days of their work, the "little daughter-in-law" and his wife exchanged 4,900 yuan in foreign exchange coupons at the Jingcheng Hotel. After another three days, they exchanged 6,700 yuan in foreign exchange coupons at the "Friendship Store". After they were completely adapted to it.
Due to the environment, each of them worked independently and could exchange for 4,000 yuan almost every day.
According to this method, calculated on a monthly basis, they can actually earn themselves 10,000 yuan. This is a big business comparable to opening a factory.
What they are still worried about is that besides attracting the attention of others, they have to change locations every day. They are also worried that the funds will be too occupied and Hong Yanwu's cash will not be able to provide it.
Together, the two of them even made plans to give their own money to Hong Yanwu.
But they didn't expect that Hong Yanwu would eat as much as they wanted without even frowning. How could they not be impressed by this?
Lord Hong is Lord Hong. He can stand high and see far away. He can point out the golden road with just a hand. There is nothing in the world that embarrasses him, and there is nothing that he cannot accomplish.
Following a master like this is the greatest blessing! No matter what you ask them to do in the future, there will be no nonsense.
Even if Mr. Hong just pointed at a big cesspool and asked them to jump into it, they would jump in without hesitation. Who knows what benefits there might be?
