Chapter 47 Correct usage of foreign exchange papers
"Section Chief, there is a college student from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He said he is a part-time student who runs a furniture store and is here to buy wood!"
The middle-aged Mediterranean man took a look at the letter of introduction and said with a smile: "A college student is doing a work-study program to open a furniture store?
I have been working in sales for so many years, but this is the first time!”
"Yes! I also know how to deal with it, so I came here to ask for your advice!"
“It stands to reason that college students work-study, which is a good thing!
We have to support you, but, Xiao Li, you also know how heavy our production tasks are now!
Our orders have been queued until the end of the year..." The middle-aged Mediterranean man said in an awkward official tone: "Well, let him come in, and I'll take a look first before talking!"
"Okay!" the young woman agreed, turned around and left the inner office.
"This classmate, please come in with me, our section chief wants to see you!"
"Thank you!" Zhang Junping hurriedly thanked him and led Huang Xue into the inner room following the young woman.
"This is our Section Chief Sun, tell him your requirements!"
"Hello, Chief Sun!"
"Classmate Xiao Zhang, right?" Section Chief Sun looked at Zhang Junping, and his eyes lit up when he saw Huang Xue standing behind Zhang Junping.
Beautiful girls are always a pleasure to look at.
"Yes!" Zhang Junping nodded calmly.
“It’s great that Xiao Zhang can open a furniture store while studying in college while pursuing a work-study program!”
"You're very grateful. I also use the skills I learned in school to learn how to better serve the people through practice!"
"Well said! Student Xiao Zhang has a very high ideological consciousness!
Xiao Li just told me that you want to buy wood, how much do you want to buy? What kind of wood and what specifications?"
"Korean pine, two centimeters and five centimeters each cost ten square meters!"
"Well! Speaking of which, it's not much, but as a raw material manufacturer, we have to provide support for the construction of the four modernizations, and the production task is very heavy!
Our three thousand workers are working overtime every day, but there are still countless orders that need to be completed..." Section Chief Sun talked endlessly about their difficulties, tight supply, etc.
wait.
Zhang Junping listened quietly.
“No matter how difficult it is, Xiao Zhang’s spirit of actively participating in work-study studies and serving the people must be supported!
In this case, I will give you special permission to squeeze out some boards for you, but not that much, just two squares each of two centimeters and five centimeters!" Section Chief Sun went through a lot of trouble, and finally only gave you four squares of wood, and also looked like I
I take good care of your expression.
This made Zhang Junping very helpless and had to keep a smile on his face.
In later generations, when he wanted to buy wood, it was all a matter of making a phone call, and all the suppliers were begging him.
It's better now. Buying wood is like doing a political review.
If I had known earlier, I might as well have gone farther away and bought it from those small lumber factories.
"Chief Sun, do you think you can approve a little more? I have received a lot of orders here, including orders from neighborhood committees and orders from foreign friends in China!
You see, I already charge a deposit..." Zhang Junping said as he took out the foreign exchange coupon and showed it to Section Chief Sun.
Section Chief Sun looked at the foreign exchange coupon in Zhang Junping's hand in surprise.
It's surprising enough that a college student is doing a work-study program and opening a furniture store, but now he's actually taking orders from foreign friends, which makes Section Chief Sun look at Zhang Junping with admiration.
Section Chief Sun did not care whether what Zhang Junping said was true. After all, foreign exchange coupons cannot deceive people.
Moreover, authenticity is not that important to him!
What he needed was an excuse, a reason to grant Zhang Junping more wood.
“Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang not only has the spirit of serving the people, but also has good skills. You are bringing glory to the country!
OK!
In this case, there is nothing I can do to stop Xiao Zhang from his glorious act of winning glory for the country and earning foreign exchange!
I approved twenty square meters of planks!
If we ask the master workers to work more overtime, I think we can squeeze out twenty square meters of boards!"
Foreign exchange rolls are indeed a privileged currency. In the 1980s, there was nothing that foreign exchange rolls could not buy. If there were, it only meant that there were not enough foreign exchange rolls.
“Which... Section Chief Sun, can I use foreign exchange coupons to settle the bill?
To tell you the truth, I only have these 200 yuan in foreign exchange coupons..." Zhang Junping said a little embarrassedly, holding up the foreign exchange coupons.
"It's okay, Xiao Li, you go and go through the formalities for classmate Xiao Zhang. As for the payment, let classmate Xiao Zhang write a note. You owe it first!"
"Thank you, Section Chief Sun. Once the furniture is finished and the balance is received, I will send the money over immediately!" Zhang Junping quickly thanked him and promised.
"Classmate Xiao Zhang, come on, do it, do it!" Section Chief Sun warmly greeted Zhang Junping to sit down, "Xiao Li, you go ahead and do it first. I'll have a chat with Classmate Xiao Zhang and ask for advice!"
You can go home and educate that boy of mine!"
Zhang Junping was quite flattered by Section Chief Sun's sudden change.
Zhang Junping winked at Huang Xue and asked Huang Xue to follow Xiao Li to go through the procedures for picking up the goods.
"Classmate Xiao Zhang, you are amazing! You are able to do business with foreign friends at such a young age. You are bringing glory to the country...
Not only do you study well and get into college, but you can also make furniture... It's really amazing..." Section Chief Sun praised Zhang Junping gushingly.
Then he said with a little embarrassment: "Classmate Xiao Zhang, you foreign exchange coupon..."
"Chief Sun wants to exchange foreign exchange coupons?" Zhang Junping made it clear clearly.
"Yes, yes, this is not just about buying something, but also some foreign exchange coupons!
Xiao Zhang, don't worry, I promise not to let you suffer!" Section Chief Sun nodded quickly and then promised.
As the head of the sales department of Guanghua Timber Factory, Section Chief Sun has indeed a lot of power and money.
But those who are in need of foreign exchange rolls are people like Section Chief Sun who have some power and are not short of money.
"Okay!" Zhang Junping handed the foreign exchange coupon directly to Section Chief Sun.
Zhang Junping's straightforwardness made Section Chief Sun stunned for a moment, then laughed randomly and said: "Hahaha! Then I would like to thank you, Mr. Zhang! You have helped me a lot!"
Then Section Chief Sun took out a dozen dollars from his desk, counted them, found some tickets, put them into an envelope, and handed them to Zhang Junping, "Xiao Zhang, here are three hundred yuan and some tickets.
There are food stamps, meat stamps, and cloth stamps, you count them!"
"No need, Section Chief Sun can still let me, a student, suffer?" Zhang Junping put it in his pocket without looking at it.
Zhang Junping's refreshing and majestic movements made Section Chief Sun take a higher look.
A college student who dares to venture and do something will surely have an unlimited future.
"Hahaha!
Come on, I'll take you to see if Xiao Li has completed the procedures for you!
I'll arrange a car to take you there in a minute!" Section Chief Sun decided to give Zhang Junping another favor.
