Portable Museum

At this time, someone in Director Cao's office was reporting to work.

Zhang Junping waited outside the door for more than half an hour before entering.

"Xiao Zhang, your art shop is doing very well recently!" Cao Xiangqian said with a smile as soon as they met.

"The leader is laughing at him. It's all a joke." Zhang Junping said modestly.

"Tell me, why did you come to see me?" Cao Xiangqian didn't say anything else, and directly asked Zhang Junping why he came.

"Come to ask the leader for help.

This week, the art shop received a total of 150 pieces of works by famous artists, and 660 pieces of works by well-known young artists.

This alone cost more than 30.

There is no money in the account. "Zhang Junping spread his hands and said embarrassingly.

"Hehe! You little Zhang, you don't have any money, did you think of looking for me?

How did I hear that your painting shop only accepts and does not sell?

How much money is enough for you to toss about? " Cao Xiangqian asked with a smile.

Because Zhang Junping is the son-in-law of the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, Cao Xiangqian is still more concerned about the painting shop, so he naturally knows the current situation of the painting shop.

"Leader, it's not that we don't sell calligraphy and paintings, you also know that the purpose of the art shop in the city is to exchange artworks for foreign exchange.

If we sell these works of art cheaply in China, it would be a bit of a waste of money.

I plan to hold a world tour exhibition of Chinese art after the city approves the plan.Sell ​​all the hard-working works of our artists abroad.

Think about it, there are more than 3 pieces of art in the art shop now, and if they are all shipped abroad, even if one piece is only sold for 300 US dollars, that is more than [-] million US dollars in foreign exchange.

If there were 1000 pieces, that would be $[-] million.

The foreign art market is huge. I asked foreign friends to do a survey, and the annual art transaction volume can reach hundreds of billions of dollars.

Just think about it, now a few million RMB investment can be exchanged for 1000 million or more US dollars in foreign exchange.

Director, I personally feel that if I don't do this kind of business, I will be sorry for the trust placed in me by the party and the country! "Zhang Junping said righteously.

"Hehe! What do you mean, if I don't approve a few million funds for you, I will be sorry for the trust of the party and the country?" Cao Xiangqian laughed angrily.

If it weren't for the fact that this kid was the son-in-law of his immediate boss, Cao Xiangqian would have thrown him out straight away.

"Leader, you misunderstood, so many things up and down in the Press and Publication Bureau need you to worry about.

The foreign exchange of 1000 million US dollars is not a small amount of income for our painting shop, but for you, it is just an insignificant sum of money. " Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"The Press and Publication Bureau doesn't run a bank, it's a few million, thanks to what you said.

How much is the annual budget of the entire Press and Publication Bureau?

I will give you 50 at most, if you want it, if you don’t...you can think of other ways. "Cao Xiangqian said angrily.

The subtext is to tell Zhang Junping that it's only 50 yuan, and if you think it's too little, go find your father-in-law.

"That, leader! You misunderstood, I didn't intend to ask you for money!"

"No money? Then what do you want?" Cao Xiangqian froze for a moment and asked with a smile.

"I want policy, I want authorization!

As long as you agree, I can contact the bank and apply for a loan! "Zhang Junping stated his purpose.

The Press and Publishing Bureau is an administrative institution, and it is fed with full finances. How can it be said that it can approve millions of funds for art shops casually.

Therefore, Zhang Junping did not intend to ask Cao Xiangqian directly for money at the beginning.

"A loan from a bank? Can someone lend you a loan?"

"Leader, the value of the works of those well-known artists is obvious to all. Many of them have held art exhibitions abroad, and how much their works are worth abroad can be found out with a little research.

I took those works of art as collateral for a loan, how could they disagree?

If the domestic bank refuses to give me a loan, I will contact a foreign bank for a loan. Zhang Junping said confidently.

"Okay, as long as you can persuade the bank to lend you a loan, I can authorize you!" Cao Xiangqian nodded.

"Thank you for your support!"

"Is there anything else?" Cao Qiang asked with a smile.

The subtext of this sentence is: talk about things if you have something to do, and get out if you have nothing to do.

"Leader, we still want to apply for two magazines! One is called "BJ Painting Shop", one is to commemorate BJ Painting Shop, and the other is to promote the art of calligraphy and painting; the other is called "Chinese Traditional Art", the purpose is also for better publicity Our traditional art."

"Well! I see, you can make a report." Cao Xiangqian nodded and said cheerfully.

Running a magazine for publicity was mentioned in the previous plan, so Cao Xiangqian readily approved it.

Mainly, he also received news that the city government had already approved Zhang Junping's plan, and the city committee had no objections, so he had to go through it at the meeting before it would be approved.

It's not a big deal to run two magazines in advance.

Running a magazine, in the eyes of ordinary people, is extremely difficult, but in the eyes of Cao Xiangqian, it is not a problem at all.

Whoever makes the Press and Publication Bureau responsible for this.

After leaving the Press and Publication Bureau, Zhang Junping went to the BJ branch of the Bank of China.

Zhang Junping did not go to the business hall in front, but walked around and went to the office building behind.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" A young man in a gray Chinese tunic stopped Zhang Junping and asked.

"I'm looking for the leader of our bank! I have a large amount of foreign exchange business to handle." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"For foreign exchange business, go to the business hall in front."

"This is tens of millions of dollars of foreign exchange business." Zhang Junping took out a check written on the car and showed it to the other party.

"Then come with me! I'm the president's correspondent, and I'll take you to the leader." The young man saw that the check was real, and Zhang Junping had an extraordinary bearing, so he politely brought Zhang Junping to the president. office.

Tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange is not a small amount.

Even later generations, with tens of millions of dollars, can directly talk to the president of the city-level branch.

In this era, he is fully qualified to have a dialogue with the president of the Capital Branch.

"Comrade, what is the last name of our president?"

"The president's surname is Liu! It's a coincidence that I happened to be here to print a document.

Otherwise, it's really not easy for you to meet the president. "The young man said with a smile.

"I seem to be lucky." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

After a while, I arrived at the governor's office.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report."

Chapter 258 The Art Company Established 1

After a while, after the young man came out, he smiled politely at Zhang Junping: "Comrade, the leader invites you in."

"Thank you!" After Zhang Junping thanked him politely, he followed the young man into the office.

President Liu has already stood in the middle of the office.

"Hello, President Liu!" Zhang Junping smiled and stretched out his hands.

"Hello!" President Liu also extended his hands to shake Zhang Junping's hand.

"Comrade, I don't know what to call you?"

"My surname is Zhang, and I work in BJ's painting shop." Zhang Junping introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello, Manager Zhang! I just heard from Xiao Wang that you need to handle a foreign exchange business?" President Liu said politely, and went straight to the point.

"Yes!" Zhang Junping took out the check and handed it to President Liu, "President Liu should arrange for someone to check the check first, otherwise, we won't be able to talk properly in the future."

"Okay! Manager Zhang is a cheerful person!" President Liu didn't know what Zhang Junping meant, but he still nodded to the correspondent.

Xiao Wang stepped forward to accept the check and turned around to check it.

Checking checks is not only to verify the authenticity of the checks, but also to verify whether the account that issued the checks has so much funds.

Scams with empty checks were not uncommon in the 90s and even the early 21st century.

"Shop Manager Zhang, the business of your painting shop seems to be much better than before!" President Liu personally brewed a cup of tea for Zhang Junping, and then said with a smile.

"President Liu, you are such a great leader, you actually pay attention to our painting shop?"

"Haha! To tell the truth from store manager Zhang, I am personally more interested in calligraphy. When I am free, I like to write two strokes, so I pay attention to the painting shop unconsciously.

In addition, the painting shop is not far from our bank, so..." President Liu said with a smile.

"It turns out that President Liu is still a calligraphy lover. It just so happens that Director Li of the Hongqi Steel Rolling Plant is also a calligraphy lover. If President Liu is interested, I will form a bureau and exchange ideas with everyone. At that time, I will invite Mr. Qi Gong and our boss The store manager will participate." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Shop Manager Zhang knows Factory Manager Li Kaihe?"

"Of course we do, we're old friends.

A few days ago, Factory Manager Li called me and invited me to their literary gathering. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Hehe! This Li Kaihe's handwriting isn't very good, he has a huge addiction, and he set up a circle of book friends, pulling people to participate everywhere, and I was dragged to participate a few times.

Among them, I think Yang Shankui's level is not bad, and he has a bit of charm. "President Liu said with a smile.

"President Liu also knows Director Yang?" Zhang Junping laughed.

BJ's circle really isn't that big, so we'll get together sooner rather than later.

"Yes, the furniture in my house was bought by Lao Yang!" President Liu laughed.

"Isn't it a coincidence that the furniture in my house was also broken by factory manager Yang, and now Master Ma and the others are still busy at my house!"

"Yes, yes! My furniture is also made by Master Ma. Master Ma's craftsmanship is one of the best in the woodwork factory."

With a common topic, the two chatted more and more speculatively. After chatting for about ten minutes, Secretary Xiao Wang returned to the office with a check.

"President, there is no problem with control, you can exchange it at any time." After speaking, he returned the check to Zhang Junping.

"Does Manager Zhang want to exchange it into RMB or open a foreign exchange account?" President Liu asked with a smile.

His tone became a little more friendly.

Zhang Junping picked up the check, stabbed it twice, and tore the check into four pieces.

"Manager Zhang, what do you mean?" President Liu stood up in shock.

This is a cash check. To tear the check is equivalent to tearing up 1000 million US dollars in foreign exchange.

No, the U.S. dollar can still be used even if it is torn into four pieces.

However, checks are not good, let alone four petals, tearing them in half is tantamount to being void.

"President Liu, don't get excited! I can write such a check at any time." Zhang Junping said, and put one of the fragments of the check in front of President Liu.

On it is a bright red seal with four characters printed by Zhang Junping.

"President Liu, I forgot to introduce you just now. My surname is Zhang, and I am the deputy store manager of BJ's painting shop. My full name is Zhang Junping." Zhang Junping said with a flat smile.

"Manager Zhang, what do you mean? If Manager Zhang wants to make a joke with me, I don't think we know each other well enough to be joking." President Liu looked at the seal on the check and stared at Zhang Junping Shen Sheng asked.

"President Liu, don't worry.

I came here today to discuss a business with President Liu.

It's just that I don't want to waste favors and come to President Liu through various relationships, so I can only do this.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to meet President Liu. Zhang Junping said with a leisurely smile.

"I don't know what business Manager Zhang is looking for me to discuss." President Liu's tone softened a little.

Zhang Junping took out the check and tore it up again. Although there was an element of playfulness, it also indirectly proved Zhang Junping's strength.

Can a person who can write a check for 1000 million US dollars at will be a simple person?

To put it bluntly, no matter what age, powerful people will be respected.

"I came to President Liu to discuss a loan business."

"Loan? Is it a personal loan from Store Manager Zhang, or a loan from a painting shop?"

"Of course it's a painting shop loan!
