Chapter 100 Rapid Progress

How valuable is foreign exchange?

Just look at the import and export situation.

In 1978, China's total import and export volume was 20.64 billion US dollars, with exports of 9.75 billion US dollars and imports of 10.89 billion US dollars, and a trade deficit of 1.14 billion US dollars.

At the end of 1978, foreign exchange reserves were only 167 million US dollars.

You should know that these foreign exchange reserves are not all US dollars, but include gold, US dollars, British pounds, Japanese yen, francs, marks, Hong Kong dollars, etc.

This makes it almost impossible for individuals to exchange foreign exchange.

The exchange rate set by the bank can often be doubled on the black market.

But Liu Tao's family can actually take out 80,000 US dollars to buy a courtyard house. This is a rare thing at the moment when "ten thousand yuan households" are rare. You can imagine the shock.

Zhu Xiongxin thinks that he is also a person of status, but if he is asked to exchange US dollars, he estimates that he can hardly exchange ten US dollars.

Gradually, they also know that this money is actually Liu Tao's scientific research results and he has won rewards from various departments.

Even the 80,000 US dollars that can be exchanged were exchanged by Liu Tao with his own ability.

Zhu Lin's beautiful eyes moved, and she suddenly realized that she didn't know much about Liu Tao.

No wonder Liu Tao spent money lavishly these days without any regrets. It turned out that Liu Tao was so good at making money.

"It is said that hard work makes you rich, but in fact, scientific research can also make you rich!" Zhu Xiongxin couldn't help but sigh.

The more he looked at Liu Tao, the more satisfied he was. His daughter didn't have to worry about suffering if she married him.

They ate and drank until after nine o'clock, and then they finished eating. Liu Tao went out to pay the bill early.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy." Liu Ziyu said, holding Liu Tao's hand.

Liu Tao said proudly: "What do you think? My vision is good enough! It is not an ordinary person who can catch my eye."

Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. Even after ten or twenty years, she is still a beauty.

Anyway, Liu Tao estimated that he would never forget Zhu Lin's tender eyes.

"My good daughter is in the Academy of Medical Sciences, and you are in Yunnan Province. It's not a good thing to live apart!" After Chen Fang was happy, she seemed worried.

Zhu Lin is undoubtedly a high-end job as a scientific researcher in the Academy of Medical Sciences, and it is also a stable job.

And this stable job is not necessarily available to many people even if they try their best.

No matter how capable Liu Tao is, he is in Yunnan Province, thousands of miles away, and it is inconvenient to travel.

Liu Tao didn't care at all, "What's the matter, I go back to Beijing every one or two months, anyway, I can get to Beijing in a few hours by plane."

"It will be great if Linlin can work in our unit hospital later." Liu Tao also had a thought about this matter.

He is different from others. Others find it difficult to take a plane. In such a situation, they may not be able to see each other once a year, but he is different. He can go back to Beijing every one or two months and stay for a week each time.

And in the future, he can slowly do ideological work on Zhu Lin and let Zhu Lin go to Panshan Machinery Factory.

Or after a few years, Panshan Machinery Factory will grow and develop, and it can set up its headquarters in Beijing, or Panshan Machinery Factory will be on the right track and no longer need Liu Tao, so he can go to Beijing.

There are definitely problems, but there are definitely more ways to solve them.

The next morning, Liu Tao followed his parents to the unit.

He finally got a reply.

"The higher-ups are very interested in what you mentioned, and there will be special people to do this next." Wang Baoguo said.

Liu Tao asked curiously, "Which department is it from?"

"Special department." Wang Baoguo said four words and didn't say anything more.

Liu Tao understood immediately.

Yes, it is most appropriate for special departments to do this kind of thing.

Whether it is the Ministry of State Security or the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, they are all very suitable for this.

"Okay, I will go back to Yun Province tomorrow." Liu Tao smiled.

Now that this matter has been resolved, there is no need for him to stay in Beijing any longer, and he can return to Panshan Machinery Factory as soon as possible.

"Well, the working group will go back with you at that time." Wang Baoguo nodded.

Then, Liu Tao contacted the working group and bought a plane ticket.

There is a flight to Kunming tomorrow morning, so there is no need to wait.

Liu Tao thought about it and realized that he had not been to Zhu Lin's unit yet. It was just right to go this afternoon to give her a surprise.

Of course, he would not leave empty-handed.

He went to a century-old store and bought some pastries and snacks.

He spent a full hundred yuan, which is almost equivalent to two months' salary for many people.

Then he took a bus to the Huaxia Academy of Medical Sciences.

Huaxia Academy of Medical Sciences, this name may be unfamiliar to many people. If you say "Union Hospital", most people will suddenly realize it.

Beijing Union Hospital was founded by the Rockefeller Foundation of the United States in 1917, and Huaxia Academy of Medical Sciences was founded in 1956. It is the only national medical science academic center and comprehensive medical science research institution in China. The two implement a unified management system of colleges and universities.

Liu Tao's arrival gave Zhu Lin a great surprise, but also made the boys feel very angry when they saw Liu Tao.

After all, Zhu Lin is the most beautiful one in their entire hospital. Now she is pursued by a man outside. Naturally, they feel very uncomfortable.

The boys who had previously had feelings for Zhu Lin all felt very uncomfortable.

Just because they acted a little later, Zhu Lin already had a partner.

In this way, Liu Tao expressed his sovereignty over Zhu Lin in the Huaxia Academy of Medical Sciences.

In this era, dating is a very serious matter. Just as the great man said, dating without the purpose of marriage is hooliganism. If a man and a girl are dating but don't want to take responsibility, the girl's parents will be angry and call the police, then it is easy to convict him of hooliganism.

Similarly, if a man and a woman are already in a relationship and a third party intervenes, then the third party can also be convicted of hooliganism.

The most serious hooliganism is eating peanuts.

After waiting for a while, it was time to get off work.

Liu Tao helped to take the things to Zhu Lin's dormitory. In order to facilitate commuting, Zhu Lin usually lives in the dormitory.

As a very good unit, the dormitory here is not bad, two people in a dormitory. The girl who lives with Zhu Lin is two years younger than Zhu Lin. She is also a local. She used to go to Shaanxi to work in the countryside, and was later recommended to the university. This year, she just came to the Huaxia Academy of Medical Sciences.

It's no wonder that this girl named "Li Qiuya" has an extraordinary background.

Few people from ordinary families could enter such a good unit, especially in those ten years.

Li Qiuya was surprised to see Liu Tao, because she knew that when she chatted with Zhu Lin not long ago, Zhu Lin said that he didn't have a partner yet. How long has it been since he got one?

And judging from Liu Tao's clothes, he is a cadre!

It's rare to be a cadre at such a young age.

When Zhu Lin took out the cakes to share with Li Qiuya, Li Qiuya smiled and narrowed her eyes.

There are few girls who don't like cakes!
