Chapter 176 Reaching an Agreement

“Things haven’t gotten to the worst point yet. Lou Bancheng’s idea is good, but it’s not without flaws.

Doesn't he have a girl named Lou Xiao'e? You can agree to let the Lou family set up a company in Hong Kong, but the purchase of the rolling mill must be negotiated by his daughter with the Hong Kong businessmen, and he himself cannot leave the city.

In this way, we can use his connections and lock him up in the city. Even if we suffer a loss this time and spend a lot of money to buy the steel rolling mill, it will only be a one-time deal.

After we buy the steel mill, if he behaves well, that's fine, but if he still wants to make money from the hard-earned money of the masses, I will let him know what the socialist iron fist is. "

In fact, Lou Bancheng didn't have so many plans at that time. He just wanted to transfer some of his huge assets in China to Hong Kong to send some support to his son there.

You must know that although the Lou family lost control of all factories and shops after the public-private partnership, they retained the right to dividends.

The dividends from a steel mill alone amount to tens of thousands of RMB every year. His nickname is Lou Bancheng. How many shares of factories and shops does he have? The dividends every year must be huge. He can't spend them all in China. Really can't spend them all.

It is a daydream for China to transfer its assets abroad at this time. First of all, few countries recognize RMB once it crosses the border (for a strong country, money is money).

After that, in April 50, the Bank of China issued the "Gold and Silver Management Measures" to freeze private gold and silver transactions. All private gold transactions were illegal (why was the black market rampant at this time? Gold transactions accounted for the majority).

As for taking RMB to the bank to exchange for foreign currency, it's even more nonsense. China doesn't even have enough of it, and you want to exchange it and send it abroad? Are you an enemy spy? Otherwise, why would you exchange so much foreign currency?

It is precisely because of these obstacles that many capitalists and wealthy people like Lou Bancheng can only worry about the mountains of RMB at home. So when Lou Bancheng saw this opportunity, he came up with the idea of ​​setting up a new company in Hong Kong.

Some readers may say that if all else fails, you can buy antiques. The antique transactions during this period were not so rigorous.

This is indeed true.

In 60, China formulated the "Cultural Relics Export Appraisal Standards" and determined the two boundary lines of 1911 and 1795 (the th year of Qianlong's reign) according to the circumstances of different cultural relics.

For those duplicate cultural relics or those of average value, it is stipulated that they can be exported under special license in an organized and planned manner in accordance with the principle of "exporting less but at higher exchange rates, and earning a steady income over the long term" in order to gain foreign exchange for China.

What needs to be made clear here is that China exchanged antiques for foreign currency, not RMB, so the idea of ​​using money to buy a large number of antiques and take them abroad is not feasible during this period.

This also shows how important this opportunity is to the Lou family, and they must make it happen even at some cost.

Unfortunately, Yang Liming was just a factory secretary and didn't understand the ins and outs here at all. The leader who loved Sichuan cuisine had not investigated how much wealth the Lou family had, otherwise Lou Bancheng would have to bleed heavily.

It was already the next morning when Yang Liming visited the Lou family again.

After Yang Liming told the leader's requirements, Lou Bancheng expressed his own ideas.

"Secretary Yang, can you please go to the Bank of China to exchange some gold? After all, I don't have enough money at the moment."

This time, Yang Liming refused without even thinking about it. At the same time, he felt even more disgusted with Lou Bancheng. If he didn't have to beg him this time, he really wanted to turn around and leave.

The price of gold on the black market at that time differed by at least 10 yuan per gram from the price at the Bank of China. If Lou Bancheng was allowed to go to the bank to exchange the gold, the country would suffer enormous losses given the amount of funds on the other side.

If other capitalists and rich people want to follow suit, Yang Liming will become a sinner, and he dare not take the blame.

Fortunately, Lou Bancheng was just testing him. What if Yang Liming agreed out of his mind?

Even if he didn't agree, it didn't matter. He had been tacitly allowed to exchange gold on the black market, and that was enough.

As for letting Lou Xiao'e go to Hong Kong to negotiate with those Hong Kong businessmen, since his son was in Hong Kong, those Hong Kong businessmen would still give him this face, and he himself had never thought of leaving Beijing during this period.

Yang Liming and Lou Bancheng negotiated repeatedly and even made several phone calls regarding the amount of gold and foreign exchange to be taken out. Finally, they reached an agreement late at night. Due to time constraints, Lou Xiao'e was scheduled to leave for Hong Kong three days later.

But Hong Kong at this time is not what it was like in the 80s when the country became strong. Not only are the bald soldiers rampant there, but there are also many agents from countries such as the Bald Eagle and John Bull. They all have a common goal, which is to make life difficult for China.

Therefore, it is impossible for Lou Xiao'e to go there alone. She must be accompanied by protection personnel.

After the old leader who loved Sichuan cuisine learned that Yang Liming and Lou Bancheng had reached an agreement and asked their superiors to send someone to assist, he called a certain office for help, and the matter was stuck here again.

If we send a professional bodyguard, Lou Xiao'e is not qualified. If we send an ordinary person, if something goes wrong, he will be just a delivery boy.

Finally, the mission fell into the hands of Captain Ding. After all, the People's Liberation Army was the most trustworthy. At this time, there were only a little more than two days left before departure, which made Captain Ding scratch his head in annoyance.

Speaking of the troops defending the city, we cannot say that all of them are top soldiers, but each of them has his own characteristics, otherwise they would not be selected into this "Royal Guard".

But if they were asked to follow all the way to Hong Kong to protect people, that would not be their expertise. For those agents, as long as they were not blind, they could tell at a glance the habits and body movements of the soldiers.

If a soldier was really sent to protect Lou Xiao'e, he would be exposed in the end because of his identity as a soldier, otherwise Lou Xiao'e would be harmed.

Captain Ding thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable candidate. In the end, it was his guard who reminded him.

"Commander, we can ask the steel mill security guard from the last Public Security Bureau incident to go over there. He has great physical strength and skills, and his marksmanship is also good. Most importantly, he used to work in procurement, and he doesn't have any military characteristics. He should not be discovered if he follows the capitalist's daughter as an attendant."

Captain Ding slapped his head and found that this was a good idea.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about that guy. What was his name? Zhao something?"

"Commander, his name is Zhao Shanhe, and he happens to work at the steel mill."

"Okay, let's take him. Go to the steel mill and bring the boy here. I'll talk to him."

In this way, Zhao Shanhe was brought to the military camp in Sijiu City in a daze. He thought something was going to happen, but when he heard that he was going to be sent to Hong Kong Island, he immediately refused.
