In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

inf Normally, export procedures are quite cumbersome and require operations and coordination among many departments.

It is not as simple as the Dandan Island farmers see. A big ship from the island country can just weigh it and take it away.

In fact, there are many procedures and links in the process, and the Fisheries Bureau has already helped to complete them. After all, this export is led and dominated by the Fisheries Bureau.

Under normal circumstances, farmers cannot get foreign exchange coupons even if they export.

Due to the particularity of exporting live eels, fishing boats must go to the breeding areas to haul fish and cannot go through normal customs terminal channels.

In this era, many policies are not very perfect, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. In addition, now is the period of earning foreign exchange.

As long as the relevant departments take the lead in exporting to earn foreign exchange, they can get the green light all the way.

Anyway, it’s a principle.

At this stage, whoever can export and earn foreign exchange is the master. Not only is everyone letting you, there are also various subsidies.

As the first official export led by the Rongcheng Fisheries Bureau, Director Wu attached great importance to it and even personally visited many departments to consult with leaders and finally finalized the subsidy plan.

That is to provide part of the foreign exchange coupons to farmers who export agricultural products as export subsidies.

And this year.

Overseas remittance coupons and foreign exchange coupons are absolutely delicious.

Overseas remittance coupons have been available for a long time.

As we all know, it is the remittances and family support fees that overseas Chinese provide to their family members in China.

The only person in their village who had overseas remittance coupons before was Lin Shanshan's husband, Xiao Weidong.

Just because there is a relative abroad who sends some money to support them from time to time.

而外汇券则是改革开放后才有的，发行于1980年4月1日，面额有1角、5角、1元、5元、10元、50元、100元。

According to regulations, foreign exchange coupons are not for Chinese people, but mainly for foreigners and overseas Chinese coming to China.

Since the market supply is still very tight after the opening up, daily necessities (such as grain, oil, meat, cloth, etc.) for domestic residents are still rationed.

But at this time, more and more foreigners and returning overseas Chinese came to visit. In order to entertain them, the country built a number of hotels and stores specifically for their shopping and accommodation.

In these specific occasions, as long as you use foreign exchange coupons, you can purchase unlimited amounts of grain and oil.

As long as you have enough foreign exchange coupons, you can even buy imported cars.

Li Duoyu built a house before because he didn't have a ticket and couldn't buy the building materials that were in short supply. In the end, he had to find connections with Zhao Jialu to buy it.

But it’s much simpler with foreign exchange coupons. You don’t even need a ticket, you can buy it directly.

You can even buy imported clothing, cosmetics, various home appliances, imported watches, etc.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a "privilege coupon". Although it is not legal tender, it is much easier to use than legal tender in China.

Li Duoyu remembers that when they first opened, ordinary people were not allowed to enter stores like Friendship Store and Overseas Chinese Store, even if they had coupons in their hands.

He and Agui once obtained a foreign exchange coupon through the black market. They wanted to sneak into the Friendship Store to see the world, but they were stopped by the guard.

But in recent years, the weather vane has changed and it has become less strict. As long as you have a coupon in your hand and show it when you enter, the guard will turn a blind eye.

Speaking of which, Shangfeng Town and the Friendship Store and Overseas Chinese Store are still sworn enemies.

A few years ago, when counterfeit goods were popular, high-priced imported goods that required foreign exchange coupons to be purchased in import stores were only half price here.

After the illegal goods were eliminated, the business of Friendship Store and Overseas Chinese Store immediately improved, and the foreign exchange certificates also increased.

The official stipulation is that the ratio of foreign exchange coupons to RMB is 1:1. On the "black market", a 100-yuan foreign exchange coupon requires more than 130 yuan in RMB to exchange it. In the most exaggerated time, people can exchange it at 1:15.

The advantage of foreign exchange coupons over overseas remittance coupons is that they also have a different function, that is, foreign exchange coupons can be exchanged for U.S. dollars.

For those who want to study abroad or visit relatives, they need to use foreign exchange coupons to exchange for US dollars.

At this time, there were particularly many people learning English in big cities, and the registration fee for the TOEFL test also needed to be paid in US dollars.

The market demand for foreign exchange certificates and US dollars directly gave birth to a whole generation of money transfer traders.

But this is in a big city.

The foreign exchange certificates in Rongcheng have other uses and are in great demand. In places where "walking the line" is popular, people often shout quietly on the roadside.

"Want to change money?"

“Do you want dollars?”

This type of scalper specializing in exchanging foreign currency has been around for decades. Li Duoyu even encountered one on the roadside when he returned from the island country.

At the village committee, the farmers shouted excitedly:

"I want a foreign exchange voucher."

"I also want foreign exchange coupons."

The kelp farmers in Chenjia Village also shouted, "We want foreign exchange certificates, too."

Seeing that everyone wanted foreign exchange certificates, Director Jin suddenly said seriously, "According to the regulations, I cannot give you this, but considering that everyone has made great contributions to exports, and Director Wu's strong request, I will grant you a certificate for one-quarter of the export amount this time."

Old Lu, who was standing at the front, asked

"Boss, can't you exchange all exports into foreign exchange certificates?"

Director Jin nodded and said, "No, this is a special case. If you go through the normal process, even if you export, you will only get RMB."

Seeing that he could only exchange for a quarter of a foreign exchange certificate, the slightly knowledgeable old man Mi quickly said, "Then leader, can you give us the Japanese yen for buying kelp and we can exchange it ourselves?"

Director Jin frowned and said, "This is even worse. The foreign exchange earned from exports is managed by our bureau. We cannot give those yen directly to you."

After hearing this, the farmers said, "If that happens, we will suffer a great loss."

Seeing that the farmers had objections, Director Wu on the side quickly said

"Folks, although we can't all exchange for foreign exchange coupons, the country will not treat you badly. This year, we have an export subsidy policy, and you will be subsidized for the part that has not been exchanged for foreign exchange coupons."

Old Lu frowned and asked, "How much is the subsidy?"

Director Wu replied, "Five percent."

"Only five percent."

Everyone knows that 100 yuan of foreign exchange coupons can be exchanged for 130. If subsidies are given, 100 yuan will only be 105, which is a direct difference of 25 yuan.

"This subsidy is too small."

"It's better to give us foreign exchange coupons."

Seeing everyone making so much noise, Li Duoyu shouted with a loud speaker:

"Get in line and don't make any noise. This kind of benefit is only available this time, and it may not be available next time.

"By the way, the leaders of the Foreign Exchange Administration did not bring that many foreign exchange coupons this time. If you are so lazy, I will change them first. When the time comes, you will have none, so don't come to me."

As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, Lao Lu and Mickey Mouse instantly became obedient, licking their faces and smiling, "Leader, one quarter is one quarter, we will exchange it for foreign exchange certificates."

Li Duoyu looked at the two men with disdain, then shouted

"If you have a passbook, go get the foreign exchange coupons first. If you don't have a passbook, go home and get your household registration book first. Then wait in line and ask Comrade Gao Jing from the credit union to apply for a passbook for you."

Under Li Duoyu's organization, the originally noisy farmers instantly became orderly.

Zhao Jialu at the side could not help but admire, "You are really good as the village director. These people listen to you very much."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "They don't listen to me at all. They are just afraid that I will redeem all the foreign exchange certificates."

Lao Lu, who was the first to get a foreign exchange coupon, treated it like a treasure. He held a hundred-yuan coupon with the Great Wall printed on the front, put it under the sun and observed it, and couldn't help but smell it.

"Brand new, the ink smells really good."

Shitou, who was standing by, said enviously, "Old Lu, is this a hundred yuan? Can you show it to me?"

"In your dreams."

"Damn, give me a look and you won't die."

Old Lu smiled and said, "I still have a lot of them. Do you want them? As long as you are good friends with my Yanyan, I can give them all to you."

Shitou's face was dark. "Can you please stop mentioning Yanyan to me? I've already told you that I like skinnier girls. Forget it. I'll get the money and ask Brother Yu to exchange two for me later."

Hearing that Shitou wanted to exchange for foreign exchange certificates, Lao Lu smiled and said, "No need to wait for Duoyu. I want a few. I can exchange them for you first. I'll go by the market price, 1:13. What do you think?"

"We are so familiar with each other, why don't you sell me two tickets at a lower price, 11 for example."

"You might as well just go and grab it."
