Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

I originally planned to stay in Pengcheng for a few more days so that I could exchange the money I had into Hong Kong dollars before going to Hong Kong.

After all, there were eighteen of us in the group, and all the food, drink, and toilet expenses were borne by the people in Hong Kong.

Their ginseng cannot be sold all at once.

As a result, it was unexpectedly so smooth that it took less than three hours to exchange 3 million RMB into Hong Kong dollars.

Two million in treasury bonds and more than one million that Liu Hongjun brought from home. He spent some on the way and exchanged the rest for three million.

The exchange rate of RMB against Hong Kong dollar is calculated based on US dollar.

The current exchange rate of USD to RMB is 1 to 3.722, while the exchange rate of USD to HKD is fixed at 1 to 7.8.

Calculated in this way, the exchange rate of RMB to Hong Kong dollar is more than 1 to 2 points.

Liu Hongjun exchanged three million RMB for six million Hong Kong dollars.

In fact, during this period, until the early 1990s, the exchange of Hong Kong dollars into RMB was quite chaotic.

There are many unscrupulous Hong Kong businessmen who pay their workers a monthly salary of HK$500, but when the time comes to pay, they directly give them HK$500.

Ordinary people didn't understand the ins and outs of this, so they just accepted it at a disadvantage.

Anyway, the salaries of Hong Kong businessmen are much higher than those of domestic bosses. After converting it this way, it’s not too much of a loss, so I just accept it.

Also, on the black market, the Hong Kong dollar is worth more than the official exchange rate.

The official exchange rate is 1:2, but on the black market, it can be exchanged to around 1:1.5.

After returning to the hotel, Qian Shengli and the other two were still a little bit unconvinced that it could be so easy, so they exchanged the money.

"Brother Hongjun, shall we go to Hong Kong tomorrow?" Shitou asked excitedly after returning to the hotel.

"We're going to Xiangjiang tomorrow.

Anyway, there is nothing to see in Pengcheng." Liu Hongjun said with a smile.

Pengcheng in this era is a huge construction site.

If you don't go to the black market to buy smuggled goods, there's really nothing to see.

After all, Pengcheng is just a small fishing village, what is there to see?

Liu Hongjun picked up the phone in the room and booked four business suites in Hong Kong through the Nanhai Hotel.

The owners of Nanhai Hotel include Hong Kong Miramar Group, Hong Kong China Merchants Group and Hong Kong Shanghai HSBC Bank.

Therefore, it is very easy to book a hotel in Hong Kong through Nan Hai Hotel.

The Hong Kong Miramar Group specializes in hotels, and the boss behind the scenes is Li Ka-shing.

“Once you arrive in Hong Kong, everyone should be careful.

Hong Kong is not as safe as our country. The underworld in Hong Kong is quite rampant.

It is even more rampant than it was in the country before 83, so everyone should not go out alone.

If there is anything, we'd better act together." After Liu Hongjun finished the call, he called everyone together and reminded them solemnly.

Due to the connivance of the British government, Hong Kong gangs were rampant in the 1980s.

If Liu Hongjun and his people go to Hong Kong, they will easily become fat sheep in the eyes of those social groups.

"Brother Hongjun, don't worry!

We definitely won’t run around. The point is, even if we wanted to run around, we wouldn’t understand what they were saying.” Shitou laughed.

"Red Army is right, when we go out, safety is the most important thing.

Don't run around, especially keep an eye on the children." Qian Shengli agreed.

After staying in Pengcheng for one night, we took the hotel's courtesy car to Luohu Port the next day.

After passing customs, the courtesy car sent by the Miramar Hotel in Hong Kong was already waiting on the other side.

Liu Hongjun and his team passed through customs smoothly and then arrived at the Miramar Hotel in a courtesy car.

After checking into the hotel, Liu Hongjun immediately called the Jiangsu Fu Bi Auction Company in Hong Kong.

After Liu Hongjun communicated with the other party in fluent Cantonese, they quickly agreed to send someone to the hotel to identify the ginseng on site.

Although Sotheby's mainly deals in auctions of antiques and cultural relics, it also sells other things.

Liu Hongjun's thousand-year-old ginseng is more sought after by Hong Kong's wealthy than antiques.

In order to attract attention, Liu Hongjun directly said it was a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Although the seventh-grade leaf ginseng cannot reach the level of thousand-year-old ginseng.

However, saying this is more likely to attract attention and better reflect the preciousness of ginseng.

Look, as soon as I heard it was thousand-year-old ginseng, it was genuine.

Sotheby's quickly agreed to send a professional appraiser.

Soon, the doorbell of Liu Hongjun's room rang.

Liu Hongjun opened the door and saw six people, five men and one woman, standing outside.

Three of them were in their sixties, with gray hair, but in good spirits.

Although they did not introduce themselves, Liu Hongjun recognized them at a glance; these three elderly men were all Chinese medicine practitioners.

The faint smell of herbs on his body could not be hidden from his companions.

"Lei Hou, you are Mr. Liu, right?"

"Lei Hou, please come in." Liu Hongjun politely let the three people into the room.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Liu is in the same business as us." After sitting down in the living room, one of the old men said with a faint smile.

"I am Liu Hongjun, a junior student, and nice to meet you three seniors." Liu Hongjun said with his hands clasped together.

Liu Hongjun was telling the other party that he also recognized the other party's identity.

"You're welcome, Mr. Liu!" The old man also responded politely.

"Mr. Liu, these are Mr. Li, Mr. Hu, and Mr. Luo, all masters of traditional Chinese medicine in Hong Kong. We have specially invited these three masters of traditional Chinese medicine to come here to help identify ginseng." The middle-aged man spoke after entering the room.

In this era, there are many Chinese medicine practitioners in Hong Kong, and they are all very famous.

It's very funny. In this era, traditional Chinese medicine is illegal in Hong Kong, but there are still many of them.

This is also due to some historical reasons.

One reason is that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Western medicine in China suppressed traditional Chinese medicine, causing many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to choose to leave the country.

Another factor was the storm in the late 1960s, which forced many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to leave their homeland.

There was also an academic dispute in the domestic traditional Chinese medicine community just after the reform and opening up.

The dispute between the warm disease school and the injury school.

The victory of the Warm Disease School led to the departure of many famous doctors of the Typhoid Fever School.

The several times that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners left the country have caused great harm to traditional Chinese medicine in the country, and may have damaged the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Hello, Mr. Li!" Liu Hongjun said politely and stood up to take out the jade box he had brought with him.

Place it on the coffee table, open the wax seal of the jade box, open the jade box, and reveal the ginseng inside.

"Mr. Liu, this ginseng is actually preserved with Hetian jade.

It really opened my eyes." Mr. Li said with some surprise.

Liu Hongjun smiled and didn't explain much. He was selling ginseng, not jade boxes, so there was no need to explain what the jade box was made of.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Hu, Mr. Luo, this is a seventh-grade leaf ginseng, weighing 652 grams.

These two top-grade six-leaf ginsengs weigh 380 grams and 396 grams respectively." Liu Hongjun pushed the jade box in front of Mr. Li and introduced it.

"Can I get started?"
