Chapter 399 Currency Exchange
Looking at Chi Pin's feeling at high altitude, she realized that she hadn't touched a plane for a long time.
The hand is raw.
I will find opportunities to exercise well in the future.
After the plane left Beijing North, it headed towards the sea.
It's safer over the sea.
Only when they reached above the sea did Gu Yao feel safe.
After dodging three helicopters at low altitude, they successfully reached a safe area above the sea.
They had been invisible the whole time, so no one noticed them.
Human vision is poor at night, but for Da Zhuang, it is just like daytime and there is no obstruction.
We arrived at the vicinity of Gangcheng, dodged the patrolling helicopters, and in less than an hour, we made it from northern Beijing to Gangcheng and landed safely.
The night in the port city has a forward-looking atmosphere.
Many are open for late night snacks.
Gu Yao is really envious of rice noodles, rice rolls and the like.
Following the aroma, I arrived at a rice noodle roll shop: "Boss, give me a rice noodle roll and another portion of rice noodles."
The boss saw that there were two people and said: "Five dollars per portion, a total of ten dollars."
Gu Yao took out the money from her pocket and handed it directly to the boss.
When the boss saw it, he realized that it was money from the mainland and said, "Boss, we only accept Hong Kong dollars. You can go to a specialized money exchange place and exchange the money for some Hong Kong dollars."
The boss thought he was a mainlander who had just arrived in Hong Kong. This mainlander spoke Mandarin, but his clothes didn't look rustic at all.
It looks very fashionable.
"I'm sorry, boss. You see, I just came here today and haven't had time to change money. Can you help me and tell me where I can change money?" Gu Yao looked at the boss.
It’s pitch dark here, where can I go to change money?
The boss looked at the girl, who looked like a young lady from some wealthy family, and was dressed very decently. So he thought, "Forget it, just give me the money from inland, and I'll go and change it when I can. It's not safe to exchange money there for young people like you."
At first the boss spoke Cantonese, but seeing that the girl spoke fluent Mandarin, I realized she was indeed from inland China.
The boss also spoke fluent Mandarin.
Gu Yao's eyes lit up: "Boss, you are also from the mainland, and you speak Mandarin really well."
She looked at the boss and he didn't look like a bad person, so she wanted to chat with him while eating.
"Hi, I came here by boat from Shandong during the war. Now my whole family is here." The boss was also a talkative man and talked a lot with Gu Yao.
Gu Yao also knew how prosperous the port city is now.
The current situation has reached that of the 1980s and 1990s.
In Hong Kong City, rich people are everywhere.
"I came from the inland and want to find a medical and pharmaceutical company. Do you know where it is?" Gu Yao was now completely in the dark.
In this age where print media is everywhere, if Gu Yao wants to get news, she has to ask.
"Ah... pharmaceutical company? Why are you looking for a pharmaceutical company? If you want to buy medicine, go to a pharmacy and ask. Some of them are private stores, and some are corporate stores. Basically, you can buy any medicine you want in a big store." The boss explained the situation in Gangcheng.
The Hong Kong print media will also report on the situation in the inland areas and prevent vendors from operating privately. They can't go back to this.
They have become accustomed to life in this place and have a stable family.
Yes, you can find medical representatives as long as you go to a pharmacy.
Go to a big store first to see what kind of medicine they are selling.
Gu Yao was eating rice rolls while looking at the boss: "Boss, is the pharmacy open 24 hours a day?"
She hoped so, as Hong Kong was a British colony and the lifestyle there was very Western.
She wanted to go to this pharmacy to see how far the foreign technology used in the medicines sold there had developed.
"There is a 24-hour pharmacy in Kowloon. It's not safe at night. If you want to buy medicine, you'd better go tomorrow," the boss kindly reminded.
No matter how good the public security is, there are still places that cannot be guarded.
"Well, thank you, boss. I'll finish my meal and go to the hotel to rest first. I'll go again tomorrow." Gu Yao smiled.
She quickly cleared out all the rice rolls on the table, but could still eat the fried noodles.
Gu Yao ate the fried noodles as well.
She does eat a lot.
Throw a strengthened stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablet into your mouth.
You don’t have to worry about gaining weight because of eating too much.
Gu Yao bothered the boss to change money and gave him 150 yuan, which was enough for two bowls of noodles. She herself felt it was a luxury.
Money is so hard to make, but now the currency is worthless, so this is the only way.
Asking the boss to exchange money would require him to run errands, and she also knew where to exchange money.
When you go to a bank to change money, you need your identity information.
She is from the inland, where did she get her identity information?
But there are underground banks.
Both Hong Kong dollars and British pounds sterling in circulation in Hong Kong can be used.
But most stores accept payments in Hong Kong dollars.
Gu Yao wanted to exchange some money.
Gu Yao learned from her boss that in this era, mainland currency can be exchanged for Hong Kong dollars. One thousand two hundred mainland currency is needed to exchange for one hundred Hong Kong dollars. At this time, mainland currency is worthless.
However, the purchasing power of mainland currency in the inland is really great.
Gu Yao thought that if she did business here, all transactions would be in Hong Kong dollars or British pounds, and she would make a fortune in this period.
Fortunately, she is rich enough now and doesn't have to worry about this.
Replace a part of it first.
Gu Yao was able to exchange some money from the underground bank.
The boss watched as the pretty girl finished both meals she ordered.
Even if I'm curious, I won't say anything.
Da Zhuang stayed in front of him but didn't say anything.
The boss was secretly complaining, but considering the extra money he was paying, he gave Gu Yao a few more words of advice. If they wanted to exchange money, it would be safer to go during the day.
After Gu Yao and the others left, she looked at Da Zhuang: "Did you remember the address the boss just told me?"
Da Zhuang responded: "Don't worry, boss, I've taken note of it. Let's go this way."
If they want to buy something here, or do any transaction, they have to spend money.
If you want to exchange money, you can only pay it back at an underground bank.
Gu Yao walked to a game city.
Hey, it really is a game.
Various game consoles really give it a modern feel.
It turns out that Hong Kong City is advanced.
This game city is what the boss said, if you want to exchange money you can do it here, it is relatively safer.
Gu Yao saw that there were still so many people playing video games late at night.
Men and women, people of all ages.
Gu Yao and Da Zhuang walked side by side.
Gu Yao was wearing a white one-piece dress, which looked very beautiful.
