1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband
Chapter 313 The head office was shocked. Who on earth is this person?
Chapter 313 The head office was shocked. Who on earth is this person?
When they arrived at Feng’s father’s unit, no one followed them in. Even his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo, Feng’s father asked her to wait outside.
Soon after, Cheng Xuemin and Feng’s father entered the Foreign Languages Bureau. Many familiar people in the unit came to greet them.
Especially when they saw Cheng Xuemin, everyone was talking about it, especially the young comrades, who must have had channels to listen to the broadcasts outside and kept asking Cheng Xuemin what the lyrics meant.
I also curiously asked Cheng Xuemin how he could write such a sad and beautiful foreign pop song.
In response, Cheng Xuemin nodded politely and talked nonsense.
Then they arrived at Lao Zhao’s office. Lao Zhao, who had heard the noise outside a long time ago, was already at the office door, greeting Cheng Xuemin!
You must face it!
Cheng Xuemin is now the number one god of wealth in their Foreign Language Bureau and an invincible pioneer in earning foreign exchange.
A short foreign pop song helped their Foreign Language Bureau earn up to 300,000 US dollars in foreign exchange. Isn’t this person a deity?
Otherwise, once this news spreads, the brother units behind will have to fight to the death to snatch the people from their Foreign Language Bureau!
To know!
Cheng Xuemin is now a veritable walking foreign exchange pioneer. Whoever can snatch him away is like snatching back a money printing machine, or foreign exchange US dollars.
and so!
When Cheng Xuemin came this time, he was received with great enthusiasm and flattery by Lao Zhao, the head of the bureau.
He even used his relationship with his father-in-law, Feng’s father, to try to get close to Cheng Xuemin, encouraging him to strike while the iron is hot, keep up the good work, and strive to create a few more foreign songs as soon as possible and make another $300,000 in foreign exchange.
Of course Cheng Xuemin was flattered and said that he would definitely work harder and harder.
Once I have the inspiration to create a new work, I will definitely send it to you for review as soon as possible before submitting it out.
A remittance slip for three hundred thousand U.S. dollars!
After some pleasantries, Lao Zhao solemnly handed Cheng Xuemin a bill for royalties in the amount of 300,000 US dollars.
At the scene, there must have been a lot of people envious and cheering, asking Cheng Xuemin, the rich man, to come back and treat them to a meal.
Cheng Xuemin nodded politely in the affirmative, pushed his father-in-law out, and told him to organize it when he had time, and then he didn’t stay long.
Outside, his wife was still in the sun, eagerly waiting for him to return triumphantly so that they could meet up with them and go to the People’s Bank of China, which was not far away on the same street.
“He’s coming out, sister, sister, my brother-in-law is coming out. My brother-in-law is coming out with his brave and invincible steps!”
On the side of the road opposite the Foreign Language Bureau, not far away, Feng Jiayou and her friends were looking over here and waiting. The sister-in-law Feng Jiamo was very sharp-eyed. As soon as Cheng Xuemin came out of the door, she quickly pointed at that direction and shouted excitedly.
“I see, I see. Jiamo, could you please stop making such a fuss? You’re making others look at us with strange eyes!”
Feng Jiayou was also very anxious, after all, her husband had been in there for quite some time.
But I also know that it is not good to go directly to the leader to ask for the manuscript fee receipt after entering the company and then turn around and leave. I must be polite and say a few words.
So although she was looking forward to it, she was not as anxious as her sister, shouting and screaming.
“Sister, I’m so excited! That’s 300,000 US dollars in foreign exchange. I’ve never seen so much US dollars in my life!”
Feng Jiamo didn’t take it seriously. After replying to her sister, she hurried over to greet him.
Looking at her impatient sister-in-law’s back as she was eager to meet him, second sister-in-law Sun Juan shook her head, thinking that not only had she never seen so much US dollar foreign exchange in her life, but how had she, as the sister-in-law, ever seen it?
Ok!
Not to mention the women, even the men in the family, who has ever seen so much US dollar foreign exchange?
perhaps!
There are only grandpa and grandma in the family, right?
After all, they must have heard from Feng’s mother that as early as the Republic of China period, their Gu family was engaged in industry and earned foreign exchange US dollars.
The Gu family at that time was very wealthy, so they must have earned a lot of foreign currency in US dollars.
“Brother-in-law!”
“Did you get it?”
“Let me see it, let me see it quickly!”
Cheng Xuemin had just separated from his father-in-law and had just walked out of the gate of the Foreign Languages Bureau when he was met by his sister-in-law, who couldn’t wait to ask for it.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I got it, I got it!”
“Hey, this is it!”
Knowing his sister-in-law’s personality, Cheng Xuemin smiled and handed the manuscript fee slip in his bag to Feng Jiamo, saying:
“It’s just a receipt for royalties, the same as the ones I received before, nothing special about it!”
This royalty bill is not the original remittance slip from New York, but a royalty bill issued by the Foreign Language Bureau, so it is actually not particularly different from the usual royalty bills.
It’s just that the amount of money this time is too dazzling.
“There must be something special! How can it be the same as before? This is 300,000 US dollars in foreign exchange!”
Feng Jiamo was extremely excited, and his hands were shaking when he received the manuscript fee receipt. This was 300,000 US dollars in foreign currency!
When he received the manuscript fee slip and looked at the three hundred thousand yuan and the amount in capital letters, he refuted Cheng Xuemin and then shouted, “I’ll show it to my sister and second sister-in-law!”
“Slow down!”
Cheng Xuemin shook his head with a wry smile and followed behind. His cousin Qin Xiaolian, who had wanted to keep up with Feng Jiamo’s pace, hesitated for a moment and did not follow.
Seeing Feng Jiamo taking something from her brother’s hand, she couldn’t wait to rush back here, and Qin Xiaolian followed to meet her.
Afterwards, the women were inevitably excited again.
Then they surrounded Cheng Xuemin and went to the People’s Bank of China, which they had just passed by.
The bank teller who was receiving guests at the head office saw several female comrades coming with a male comrade to handle business, which really attracted a lot of strange looks over here.
“Hello comrades, may I ask what you need to do?” The female teller looked at Cheng Xuemin and the others and was stunned, then quickly nodded and asked.
“Hello, please help me settle this royalty bill!” Cheng Xuemin handed over the bill and spoke.
“The bill for the manuscript, right?”
“Okay, wait a moment, I’ll take a look and give it to you right away…”
After the female teller withdrew her surprised look, she took the manuscript fee slip handed in through the small window of the counter, her expression returned to arrogance, she nodded and said.
When the female teller heard that it was a payment slip, her expression was obviously not so surprised anymore!
Because in the eyes of the female teller, the people who came over were all very young comrades, and they were here to settle their royalties, so it was not surprising.
At such a young age, it is not uncommon for someone to publish an article occasionally and get a dozen or dozens of yuan in royalties.
Therefore, for a payment of just a few dozen dollars, there is actually no need to go to their head office to settle the bill. You can do it at a local credit union or one of the branches.
but!
The other party insisted on going to their head office to settle the money, and they had no choice but to do it for him, the female teller said as she took the manuscript fee slip without even looking at it.
But after she glanced at the amount on the bill, the words she was about to say suddenly stopped. Her eyes bulged out, and she held the bill in one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand in an exaggerated manner.
It was obviously a casual glance, and he was instantly blinded by the amount of money on the manuscript fee slip.
Then, he looked at Cheng Xuemin with a look of surprise on his face and asked in a trembling voice: “Notice, you, you, you…where did you get so much foreign currency?” Three hundred thousand US dollars in foreign currency!
This was the largest foreign exchange settlement she had received since she started working at the head office.
Do not!
It’s not just her. Perhaps her colleagues have never received a foreign exchange settlement statement for such a large amount of money.
After all, in the past 10 to 20 years, there was no such thing as foreign exchange US dollars, and settlement was done at their front desk counter.
They all have special foreign exchange windows and special foreign exchange settlement comrades who are responsible for this business.
They work at the front desk, mostly handling deposits and withdrawals for our citizens.
But who knows!
Today, these young comrades gave her such a big one right from the start!
I was immediately shocked and asked where so much foreign exchange and US dollars came from?
“Payment fees!?”
“Isn’t it clearly written above? The Foreign Language Bureau gave us the foreign currency for our manuscripts, and told us to come to the head office to settle the account!”
Cheng Xuemin smiled and pointed at the royalty receipt in the female teller’s hand. Wasn’t everything written very clearly on it?
“Ah?! Ohhhh!”
“Hello, comrade. I’m sorry, comrade, this, this… this, I, I, I… I can’t do this with you!”
When she heard it was the manuscript fee invoice again, the female teller was still shocked and incoherent, shaking her head repeatedly.
“Can’t do it?”
“But didn’t Director Zhao from the Foreign Language Bureau just say hello to you?” Cheng Xuemin was puzzled when he saw the female teller shaking her head and saying it couldn’t be done.
When I received the manuscript fee receipt just now, didn’t Lao Zhao tell me that he had already informed the head office and explained the foreign exchange earnings of the 300,000 US dollars from New York?
Let Cheng Xuemin come over and he can handle the settlement directly!
Why can’t it be done again?
Hearing that it couldn’t be done, Feng Jiayou and the others standing behind were unexpectedly anxious. Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo even interrupted and asked, “You are the head office, the largest bank, how come you can’t do it?”
“Ah! Oh oh oh! No no no!”
Hearing Cheng Xuemin’s question, the female teller obviously realized something and nodded and shook her head repeatedly. It was unknown what she wanted to express.
Then he added, “Yes, yes, it’s you! Our president has already greeted our front desk!”
“I can’t do it here. If you want to go in, our president will personally receive you and handle the settlement!”
It turned out to be such a thing!
But if you think about it, this is actually the case.
After all, Director Zhao from the Foreign Language Bureau has already given us a heads-up. It’s certainly impossible that he had given a heads-up to the teller at the front desk. He must have informed the leaders at the head office.
Moreover, for a huge foreign exchange settlement like Cheng Xuemin’s, no matter what era it was, he had to go to the VIP room to handle it. How could a small teller at the front desk have that authority?
quickly!
Cheng Xuemin and his colleagues were invited to the back for tea, where President Sun from the head office received them and told them that he knew Cheng Xuemin, the young pioneer.
And he also knew about his foreign exchange income in US dollars.
After all, the first thing that would be alerted by the incoming foreign exchange of 300,000 US dollars would definitely be their head office.
Because only after the Americans in New York remit money to China will they fax the remittance slip to the Foreign Language Bureau.
and so!
As early as two days ago, the head office received a foreign exchange remittance of up to 300,000 US dollars from New York, which immediately alarmed their President Sun.
They were still wondering whether the products of some domestic company were selling well abroad and why they suddenly received an order for US$300,000 in foreign exchange?
But when I looked at the remittance address carefully, it turned out to be from a music company in New York. I was confused again!
Music company, what’s going on?
Now the country calls on all units to actively earn foreign exchange and sell the things we manufacture and produce to earn more US dollars in foreign exchange.
Therefore, after such a period of time, the head office will basically have an idea of how much large amount of US dollar units can be remitted from abroad.
But suddenly a New York music company appeared, which made President Sun of the head office confused. This had nothing to do with their export products. Could it be that the money was transferred to the wrong bank?
However, no matter how confused they were, they couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard they tried.
We can only wait for the payee to take the remittance slip to their head office for settlement, and then we will know the situation.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait too long. On the same day, I received a call from Lao Zhao from the Foreign Languages Bureau, who said that the US dollar foreign exchange belonged to their Foreign Languages Bureau!
After finding out what happened, President Sun was so shocked that he slapped his thigh!
what’s the situation?
Old Zhao?
Did I hear that correctly?
A songwriter from your Foreign Language Bureau wrote a foreign pop song and sent it to a radio station in New York. It was spotted by a music company, which spent as much as 300,000 US dollars in foreign currency to buy it?
That is to say!
The $300,000 they just received is what their Foreign Language Bureau earned from selling a foreign song?
Are you kidding me?
Since when did it become so easy for them at the Foreign Language Bureau to earn US dollars?
Could it be that their Foreign Language Bureau made a mistake?
But later, after repeated confirmation, it was found that it was actually just a foreign song that was sold for 300,000 US dollars.
In an instant, President Sun was astonished.
Then there was another comparison, and he started cursing again, thinking that in order to get a foreign exchange order worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of US dollars, all the units and factories had to mobilize the entire unit and work at full capacity to rush the work and meet the deadline.
After working so hard all the time, the final result of earning foreign exchange was not as good as the light-hearted foreign song that Lao Zhao sang at the Foreign Language Bureau?
President Sun was even more determined and wanted to see who was the man who could create a miracle of 300,000 million RMB in foreign exchange with just a foreign song.
Well, that’s it!
Today I finally saw the true face of Mount Lu, and I was really impressed.
But when he heard Cheng Xuemin’s name, President Sun suddenly became uneasy again, and then he suddenly realized that it was no wonder!
So, this foreign song worth three hundred thousand U.S. dollars was written by this pioneering young general!
No wonder then!
Originally, who in the whole of Yanjing didn’t know Cheng Xuemin’s name?
“President Sun, this is actually a pleasant surprise. I didn’t have high hopes at first, I just wrote a song to give it a try!!”
Facing the warm and polite hospitality of President Sun from the head office, Cheng Xuemin was surprised and even more suspicious in his heart. He did not expect the other party to react so strongly.
After hearing President Sun’s sigh, Cheng Xuemin suddenly understood.
Then he politely shook his head and replied modestly.
