The Rebirth of a Genius
chapter 9

Early the next morning, they went to the bank and pulled out all their family savings with a bankbook and kept it in a bag. Total 143,600 RMB. The Feng family had a total savings of 112,800 RMB.

The two then went to an international hotel. This time is the time where guest traffic is at its peak.

When they reached, they saw three strangers standing by the roadside waving to hail a taxi. Bing is the first city in China to have a taxi. The development of the taxi industry here is the fastest and best in China.

"Sorry, are you waiting for a taxi?" Feng Yu approached them and asked in English.

The blonde-haired stranger looked at Feng Yu curiously and looked at the jeep parked in the distance. He nodded and asked Feng Yu: "How much does it cost from here to the river bank?"

They have been cheated by this kind of private taxi before. Normal taxis will charge 5 RMB for them, but these private hire taxis will charge 50 RMB for the same distance!

“10 dollars, but we only take RMB. '' Feng Yu replied.

"Why? I'm paying you in US dollars. 5 US dollars. You can trade it for more than 10 RMB. "The stranger replied with a confused feeling. He has used USD here before and most stores are more than happy to receive USD. The only exceptions were those little shops on the side of the road. Why did this young man refuse to accept the USD?

“No, we just want RMB. You don't have RMB? We can help you trade your USD for RMB at a higher rate compared to the market. "Feng Yu smiled cunningly.

During this time, it is not easy or foreigners exchange foreign currency with RMB. In addition, Americans always think that the USD is a global currency and can be accepted anywhere.

The blonde-haired stranger sneered. The real intention of this young man was to exchange foreign currency and had no intention of renting a car out.

"How much RMB can you offer for 1 USD?" The blonde-haired stranger asked.

Feng Yu replied: "3. 8 RMB. This is higher than the market level. The exchange rate is now about 3. 7 RMB. ”

Blonde stranger: "No, 4 RMB!"

“Then this deal is off. There are many other guests at this hotel who need to exchange currency. I won't hold you back then. Good bye . "Said Feng Yu.

"Wait a minute, how much can you change for us?" The blonde noticed that this child was not easy to deal with and was most likely a veteran.

"How much USD do you have?" Ask Feng Yu.

The three strangers discussed for a while and replied: "$ 5,000 USD!"

"No problem, please follow me to the jeep. ”

The deal went well and both sides were happy. Americans feel that they have gained a lot of things. Using RMB in China is more valuable and can avoid scams. Also, the exchange rate that Feng Yu offered was higher than the market. Feng Yu was also pleased. There are many people who want to exchange RMB for USD.

Feng Yu asked Li Shiqiang: "You can find people to exchange RMB for USD?"

"of course! And I guarantee it will be worth more than 4 RMB! ”Li Shiqiang replied. When he exchanged rubles, someone approached him asking for USD.

Feng Yu continued to wander around the entrance of the International Hotel.

Feng Yu would approach anyone wearing a suit or looking like a rich man. He will ask them if they need RMB or foreign currency.

This continues until noon. The two had traded around 50,000 RMB in exchange for USD and rubles. In addition to USD and Ruble, there is a lower demand for other foreign currencies.

This continues until noon. The two had traded around 50,000 RMB in exchange for USD and rubles. In addition to USD and Ruble, there is a lower demand for other foreign currencies.

They had lunch at a small noodle shop nearby and returned to the International hotel.

Kirilenko is close to finishing her job in the city of Bing and will be back in two days' time. He intends to buy some Chinese products back as souvenirs for friends and family.

In China, foreigners are often cheated. For example, the price tag will only display the number ”1”. Foreigners would think that it is 1 RMB but it actually means 10 cents. Also, when a foreigner pays in a foreign currency like Ruble, the other party will just pretend not to know and treat this currency as RMB.

Kirilenko has decided to find a hotel manager to help him trade some Rubles for RMB. The bank is too far away and no one understands Russian there.

Wasn't that the young man who sold him black bear fur at a high price? Good I want to teach him a lesson for lying to me!

Kirilenko walked up to Feng Yu angrily.

"Mr Kirilenko, we meet again. "Feng Yu smiled.

Feng Yu immediately explained: “There are many types of bear skin. The leather that I am selling to you is high quality leather. 5,000 RMB of that hides are substandard old feathers with bullets and wormholes. You can go and wonder. ”

"Is that so? Then I might misunderstand you. Hunting Siberian tigers? I want high quality tiger fur. "Kirilenko said and loosened his grip. He always wanted to buy tiger skin.

Siberian tiger

Rich men with low IQ! This was Feng Yu's impression of Kirilenko.

The only time he saw a Siberian tiger was at the zoo during his previous life.

“Sorry, tiger fur is not easy to get. But if you want another animal, like mink fur or fox fur, I can help you get it. ”

Disappointed Kirilenko shook her head. If he could get the tiger fur, then he could go back to his country and brag to his friends. Who else could hunt a tiger and give birth in one go!

It seems that his dream will not come true. But to successfully hunt the black bear, it was enough for him to brag about the rest of his life.

Seeing Kirilenko was about to leave, Feng Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Mr Kirilenko, if I'm not mistaken, you still have a lot of rubles with you? I'll remember that you'll be back soon. Will you buy some Chinese souvenirs? It will be easier and cheaper if you use RMB. I can exchange your ruble for RMB for a small transaction fee. ”

When dealing with other guests, Feng Yu would offer a higher exchange rate, but not for someone as rich as Kirilenko. Feng Yu had other ways of earning money from him.

Kirilenko raised her eyebrows and replied calmly: "Transaction fees? There are no transaction fees if I go to the bank. ”

“Bank does have transaction fees and you still need to queue. Also, you can not trade large amounts in banks and no one can speak Russian there. Mr Kirilenko, do you disagree that it is more convenient to use RMB in China? ”Say Feng Yu.

From Kirilenko's reply, Feng Yu knew that Kirilenko wanted to trade the Ruble for the RMB.

"How much can you exchange and how much does the transaction cost?" Ask Kirilenko.

“The price is 1 ruble to 4 RMB. Extra is my transaction fee. I can exchange 20,000 rubles for you now. Anything over 20,000 rubles, you have to wait a day or two. '' Feng Yu replied. For someone who can afford to buy a bear fur for 20,000 rubles must be very rich. Feng Yu wondered what business Kirilenko was doing.

Kirilenko looked at Feng Yu, who was not carrying a bag, and asked: "You can exchange 20,000 rubles now?"

Feng Yu pointed to Jeep not far away: “In the car. '' Seeing Feng Yu point, Li Shiqiang hurriedly waved back.

“OK, I will replace 20,000 rubles. Wait a minute . I'll go back to my room to get some money. "Kata Kirilenko's.

“OK, I will replace 20,000 rubles. Wait a minute . I'll go back to my room to get some money. "Kata Kirilenko's.

Feng Yu clenched his hands tightly. It seems that he can exchange all his money in the next hour.

The transaction went smoothly in the jeep and before getting off the jeep, Kirilenko asked Feng Yu where he could buy Chinese specialties. Feng Yu was overjoyed. Kirilenko let him make more money!

Canned fruit

Feng Yu asked Li Shijiang in Mandarin: "Sister Li, you know where to buy ham sausage, Jianlibao (a brand of healthy soft drinks) and canned fruit?"

Jianlibao

In this era, these Chinese domestic products were very popular in the Soviet Union.

“I have a former comrade who works in inventory and marketing cooperatives. I heard that he has some unsold stuff. How much do these Russians want? ”Li Shijiang replied.

Feng Yu whispered to Li Shiqiang: "Control your facial expressions and don't show any signs of happiness. Try to have an expression like you are in a difficult position. He wants to use all 80,000 RMB. ”

If not for Feng Yu, Li Shiqiang would have jumped excitedly. But now he had a troubled expression on his face.

"Is it difficult to obtain this Chinese specialization?" Kirilenko asked in shame. Seeing the troubled expression on the driver's face, it must be difficult to get this souvenir.

Feng Yu replied: "No. We have connections but we need his father's help. So, there will be an extra charge. "he said . ”

"I understand . But I will fly back to Moscow the day after tomorrow. So make a quick. This 1000 rubles is for you. Got enough? ”It is very common for people to give gifts in exchange for help.

"No problem!" Said Feng Yu happily.
