Chapter 370 Floating exchange rate begins, excitement
"Okay!" Come to think of it! Ever since the two of them started doing business, Li Jiayi has been asking for antiques and large and small yellow croakers.

It was only later, when he had no more yellow croakers or antiques to offer, that he started accepting cash.

"How much did you bring?" asked Long Ye.

"Fifteen million in bills."

The more than 10 million yuan is mainly used to deliver supplies to various factories, and the money earned from the seals is also used. Otherwise, there would be nothing even for these.

Of course, this doesn’t matter to Li Jiayi at all, because he has no intention of using the money to make more money.

If it wasn't for the purpose of concealing his tracks, he might not even have taken the money with him. His main purpose was the US dollars in the space.

It is impossible to keep those US dollars in the space forever, because the US dollars will also be updated.

Therefore, these US dollars need to be taken out from time to time and exchanged for new ones. Otherwise, when the reform comes, these US dollars may not be usable.

But it was okay for the time being, as the US dollar was not exchanged so frequently. After the 1990s, because of the fake US dollars incident in the North, the US dollar was exchanged very quickly, basically every few years.

To be honest, speaking of this, Li Jiayi has to admire the Northern Dynasty. Others are trying every means to earn US dollars, while the Northern Dynasty is trying every means to make US dollars.

The most important thing is that the American knives made in the Northern Dynasty are even more real than the real ones, leaving the Americans helpless and they can only respond by making changes.

It was noon soon, and because they were on the train, neither of them drank much.

It was now time for dinner. Long Ye left one person behind to watch over the place, and then he, Li Jiayi and three other men went to the dining car.

To be honest, there was really nothing to eat on the train. It’s okay now, but in the future, Li Jiayi would not eat the food on the train even if he was hungry.

It’s not because it’s expensive, but because it tastes terrible and is also extremely unhygienic.

There is a shortage of water on the train, so many dishes are just washed with water. Li Jiayi once saw with his own eyes that bundles of green onions were not even washed with water, but simply had their roots cut off with a knife before being used.

From then on, Li Jiayi never ate on the train again.

It’s not so bad in this era, mainly because few people eat food on the train because the price is too expensive.

So the people on the dining car are very attentive. The food may not taste very good, but it is definitely clean.

"Master Li, what would you like to eat?" Longyan turned around and asked Li Jiayi.

Li Jiayi and his friends didn't arrive early, so it was definitely time for dinner, but there were not many people in the dining car.

Li Jiayi took a rough look and found that there were no more than a dozen people in the entire dining car, including the five of them.

You have to know that this is a train! There are at least thousands of people on board, and it is surprising that so many people only come to the dining car to eat.

"Uncle Long, I can eat anything, it's up to you!" Li Jiayi said indifferently.

"Okay, I'll just order two dishes and then we'll have rice."

"can."

Mr. Long said that we could just order two dishes, but in fact we ordered six dishes and a soup, as well as a few boxes of fragrant rice.

"Come, eat."

"Well! By the way, Brother Long, there is another brother left in the carriage. Should we save a portion for him first?" Li Jiayi asked.

"No need, I've asked the kitchen to make it. We can just bring it back for him after we finish eating."

"OK then!"

Li Jiayi originally thought that it would take three days, but when he got there he found out that it was not three days at all, but more than three and a half days.

However, we can also see from here how far the imperial capital is from here, and we can also see how slow the trains are in this era.

After arriving at the destination, the group got off the train and walked out of the train station.

At this time, Long Ye said: "Let's find a hotel to have a good rest today. Someone will come to pick us up tomorrow."

"Ok!"

The hotel was a place that was booked in advance, not reserved in advance, so it should be the place that Long Ye agreed with others.

After arriving at the hotel, Long Ye took out the letter of introduction and booked four rooms. Long Ye and Li Jiayi each had one room, and the four subordinates each had two rooms.

After settling down, the group came out of the hotel again, went to eat something, and then returned to the hotel to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Jiayi came out of the space, feeling refreshed.

I spent most of the past three days resting on the train, and to be honest, I didn't get a very good rest.

Look, after resting in the space for a night, I seem to be alive again.

Mainly I took a bath and drank a lot of spiritual spring water.

He glanced at the time and it was just seven o'clock, so he didn't go out, but lay on the bed waiting.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

Li Jiayi quickly stood up and went to open the door. Long Ye appeared at the door and said, "Let's go. Our people are here to pick us up."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi didn't bring anything with him, just a package, and to be honest, it didn't look that beautiful.

When he arrived outside the hotel, Li Jiayi saw four of Long Ye's men and a middle-aged man standing together.

This middle-aged man should be the one who came to pick them up.

“Mr. Long, let’s go eat something first, and then go straight over.”

"it is good."

Breakfast in the south is very different from that in the north, but this is not a problem for Li Jiayi.

He had been to the south many times in his previous life, so he was used to the food.

After breakfast, it was already past eight o'clock, and then the group followed the middle-aged man.

At that time, there was a bridge between Hong Kong and the mainland, with the mainland on one side of the bridge and Hong Kong on the other.

There were soldiers guarding the place. The middle-aged man walked over, handed a document to the soldier, and was quickly allowed to pass.

The same thing happened after crossing the bridge. I handed over the same document and the other side let me pass directly.

Li Jiayi didn't know what kind of document this was. It should be some kind of customs clearance document from the past!
When we got to Xiangjiang, there were taxis available, and seven of us took two taxis.

More than half an hour later, we arrived at a hotel. The middle-aged man got off the taxi and handed over a few room cards and said, "Mr. Long, you guys take a rest first. I'll come and take you to the airport tomorrow."

To be honest, there was really no point in resting as it was not even ten o'clock in the morning.

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since everything has been arranged, he can only accept it.

After the middle-aged man left, Li Jiayi asked, "Master Long, how much did you give this man?"

"One hundred thousand."

"One... one hundred thousand?"

You know, 100,000 yuan is not a small amount of money! This is not only true in China, but also in Hong Kong.

According to the current exchange rate between RMB and Hong Kong dollar, that would be 500,000 Hong Kong dollars!
"Okay, although it costs money, it also saves a lot of trouble, right? We don't need to worry about anything, he will take care of it for us."

"All right!"

A few people settled down in the hotel, then Long Ye took out two bundles of money and asked his men to go to the bank to exchange them.

It was easy to exchange foreign currency at this time. Yes, RMB was considered a foreign currency here. Hong Kong was in chaos at this time, so they had no plans to go out. They basically stayed in the hotel except for meal time.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to stay in the hotel.

The day passed quickly.

After breakfast the next morning, the middle-aged man appeared again, accompanied by a young man in his thirties.

After the introduction, I found out that this young man was actually a translator.

The young man was called Liu Bin. He was their translator in the Japanese country. Of course, they had to pay for the translation themselves, and it was not within the 100,000 yuan.

This is not a big deal for Li Jiayi or Long Ye.

The monthly fee is only 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 6,000 yuan.

To be honest, this fee is already very high. You have to know that in Hong Kong at that time, the average salary was only 1,800 to 3,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, this refers to the salary of ordinary workers. Translators are special personnel and their salary is higher, but 30,000 Hong Kong dollars is already considered high.

The group hurried to the airport again. They had to pay for their own air tickets and the other party just helped them with the arrangements.

It is not far from Hong Kong to the Japanese country. It only takes about four hours by plane. Of course, you also need to see some places.

Anyway, it was already afternoon when they got off the plane.

After taking a taxi into Tokyo city, we decided to find a place to stay first.

After all, it was already afternoon, and if I went shopping first, it would be troublesome to find a place to stay.

It seems that this is not the first time that translator Liu Bin has come here, and he seems to be particularly familiar with this place.

This is good, and it saves some tour guide fees.

The next morning, the group came to the bank. All they had to do was to exchange the money they had into Japanese yen.

For Long Ye, this was very easy because he used a bill of exchange and could just take it directly to the bank.

But it is more troublesome for Li Jiayi, because his space is full of cash!
Fortunately, his cash is in US dollars. People in the Japanese country like US dollars, even in banks.

But now there is still a problem, that is how to take out these US dollars.

More than 6 billion US dollars! This is not a small amount of money. Even if we use trucks to transport it, it will take several trucks!
So Li Jiayi is also having a headache now.

Before noon, Mr. Long had finished everything he needed to do, and the same went for the bill of exchange in Li Jiayi's hand.

The next thing he has to do is to deal with these things in the space.

But we couldn’t let Long Ye know, so the first thing we did was to send Long Ye and the others away.

"Master Long, take them around Tokyo."

"Uh! Isn't it done?" asked Lord Long.

"Master Long, I'm not asking you to wander around. I'm planning for the next step. You should first investigate the current housing prices in Tokyo, especially ordinary houses."

There are not many tall buildings in the Japanese country, most of them are two-story buildings, and these are what Li Jiayi wants in the future.

As for those high-rise buildings, forget it! Because the appreciation potential is relatively small.

What was the most expensive thing before the real estate bubble came into the Japanese country? Of course, land!

Where does the land come from for high-rise buildings? Only these various small buildings or wooden buildings have land.

"Master Li, are you planning to buy a house?" Master Long asked in a low voice.

"Don't buy it for now. The yen hasn't appreciated yet. I'll buy it after I sell the yen I have."

"Okay! I understand. I'll take someone to find out right away."

"Ok!"

Not only did Long Ye take his men away, he also took away the translator. Li Jiayi had already told Long Ye that he didn't need the translator and just wanted to go around.

After Long Ye and the others left, Li Jiayi went to the mall, bought two large suitcases and returned to the hotel.

Soon the two suitcases were filled with US dollars, and then he went to the bank.

When he came out of the bank again, he only had a check and some Japanese yen in his hand.

The reason I asked for some cash was because I would use it next.

How much money can a suitcase hold at one time? So he needed a truck, preferably a box truck.

For the next half month, Li Jiayi and Long Ye went out early and came back late every day.

Long Ye went to look at houses according to the places Li Jiayi drew for him on the map, and Li Jiayi asked the translator to help him rent a car.

Yes, I didn’t rent a truck because there were no trucks for rent, but Mitsubishi is also available.

This car can also carry a lot of stuff.

After half a month, Li Jiayi finally exchanged the US dollars in the space into Japanese yen checks.

Now we just have to wait for the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the US dollar to start floating.

Yes, so far, the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the US dollar is still fixed, just like the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar.

Li Jiayi is not in a hurry at all now, because this is not a matter of one or two years, but a long time.

In May of 1970, the Japanese yen implemented a floating exchange rate against the US dollar, and it was also on this day.

At the opening, one US dollar was exchanged for 360 Japanese yen, which instantly became one US dollar for 271 Japanese yen.

Looking at the green numbers on the big screen, Long Ye opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous.

Because this is too fast.

Yes, it is different abroad than in China. Here green represents rising and red represents falling.

"Alright Lord Long, now you can rest assured!"

"Yeah!" Long Ye nodded quickly, while calculating in his mind how much money he had earned so far.

"Master Li, tens of millions!" After returning to the hotel, Master Long said excitedly to Li Jiayi.

You have to know that he has been running the black market for so many years and has only made more than 10 million.

As for the 23 million in his hands, not all of it belonged to him. Some of it belonged to his brothers, and some of it was money for special personnel.

"By the way, Master Li, when are we going to take action?"

"Don't worry about it. We are just getting started now! In less than three years, your money will at least multiply several times."

"Hahaha, okay."

After resting for a few more days, Li Jiayi and his colleagues planned to return home. Having been away for more than three months, Li Jiayi could be said to be eager to return home.

Because his child is almost due to be born, how could he not be anxious?

If he hadn't waited for the floating exchange rate to start, he would have gone back long ago. How could he have stayed here for so long?

But if that happened, it would make Lord Long worried, so he was waiting here.
