Riverside Police

Chapter 63 The Children of the Port Authority

"Ok."

Section Chief Jiang picked up a stack of checklists and reported: "Xianyu discovered that Shen Rulan among the three suspects, Zhang Asheng's wife, had an unusual relationship with the captain and crew who arrived ahead of time and waited to board the ship. What are they doing, I asked the border inspector to check carefully.

Inspection found that their carry-on luggage was not suspicious and no contraband was found.The management of the terminal is very strict, and there is no possibility of smuggling.

There was nothing suspicious about the captain who disembarked and the belongings of the six Indian crew members.

The only difference from the captain and crew on board is that they were paid wages before disembarking, and they carried more cash, all in US dollars. "

Last time, the Bailonggang Police Station cooperated with the Yanjiang Police Station of the Linghai Public Security Bureau to crack down on ticket reselling, and the results were great.

Most of the seized fines that were allocated but not returned were handed over to the bureau. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the biggest victory the bureau has achieved in the past five years!
But that case was mainly investigated by the Linghai Public Security Bureau, and the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau was only a supporting role.

The case that is being studied and analyzed is different. Not only is it all about money, but the bureau holds [-]% initiative!
The jurisdiction of Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau is so small, it is too difficult to achieve some results.

Bureau Chen naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, and asked with a smile, "I'm carrying a lot of cash, what is the amount?"

Section Chief Jiang handed over the list of foreign crew members registered at the border inspection: "The captain has the most, with more than 400 US dollars. The crew is less, ranging from [-] to [-] dollars."

Han Yu felt that Ju Chen was like an accountant, so he looked at the list carefully, calculated it with a calculator, and took notes.

"Old Hu, where are you?"

"At about 54:[-] p.m., we overheard two calls from Zhang Asheng. The first time was to buy a ticket from a scalper, and the second time was probably to contact his brother-in-law in Donghai. The call was not long, so I will let everyone listen. listen."

"Okay, let it go quickly."

……

There is nothing to talk about on the call to find a scalper to buy a ticket.

The phone call with his brother-in-law was a bit confusing. It didn't sound like they were looking for foreign seafarers to exchange foreign exchange certificates, but they wanted to exchange foreign exchange certificates for foreign seafarers!

Chen Ju couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Junyan, Section Chief Jiang, Deputy Section Chief Zhou and others were also at a loss.

Han Yu recalled what the director learned from a friend who worked in the bank in the afternoon, and was holding his chin in thought, when Chen Ju suddenly asked, "Little Xianyu, where are you?"

Han Yu regained his composure, and hurriedly said: "Report to Bureau Chen, Zhang Asheng and Shen Rulan came to look for the disembarked crew just after completing the accommodation procedures.

Maybe the crew members who boarded the ship helped pass the message, and the Indian crew members who disembarked didn't think they were presumptuous, so they invited them to room 220 to talk. "

"What are you talking about?"

"They speak English with a loud voice, which is annoying to the passengers living next door, but my English is not good, so I can't understand a word."

"Did they make a deal."

"No, but my sister took a look for me on the pretext of delivering fruit, and found that they seemed to be bargaining, and they used a calculator to calculate and wrote on paper with a pen."

Han Yu thought for a while, and then said: "They went to my sister before going back to the room to rest, and said that they will go back to Donghai early in the morning. Maybe they are worried about oversleeping, so ask my sister to wake them up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Looking for someone surnamed Shi to exchange foreign exchange certificates, and they want to exchange foreign exchange certificates to foreigners, and they plan to go to Donghai to accompany foreigners to exchange foreign exchange certificates into US dollars, and exchange them back and forth. What are they planning..."

As soon as Bureau Chen finished speaking, a policeman knocked on the door and walked in, whispered something in the ear of Section Chief Hu of the Political Security Section, and hurried out of the meeting room.

"Old Hu, what's going on."

"Zhang Asheng just made a phone call. He called his brother-in-law and asked him to find a car to pick them up at the Shiliupu pier tomorrow afternoon, saying that they will go to the airport with some foreign sailors tomorrow."

"that's it?"

"That's all, the call time is short."

The bureau handles quite a few criminal cases, but this is the first time the surveillance has been done.

Bureau Chen couldn't help laughing: "Monitoring is a good way. As long as they answer and call, we can grasp their movements."

Zhang Junyan raised his head and said, "Ju Chen, the idea of ​​monitoring came from Xianyu."

Chen Ju smiled and pointed to Han Yu: "Little Xianyu, you can do it, you are indeed a child of our Port Authority."

When did I become a child of the Port Authority, at most I can only be regarded as a relative of the Port Authority...

Han Yuzheng thought it was funny, Chen Ju's face straightened: "Comrades, yesterday I asked the office to study the laws and regulations on financial and foreign exchange management.

Although it is the first time for us to encounter foreign exchange certificate reselling, it is not very complicated. Just like other speculative reselling activities, it is all about buying low and selling high.

In the past ten hours, everyone has worked very hard and made great progress.

However, it is far from enough to determine that they are suspected of undermining the socialist economic order based on the evidence we have now. In other words, we only know what they buy, but not how they sell, or even how they make illegal profits. "

This is indeed a headache.

Zhang Junyan lit a cigarette, took several puffs in a row, and said solemnly: "Chen Bureau, Jiang Ke and I discussed it in the morning. We plan to divide the troops into two groups, investigate and collect evidence at home all the way, and follow them all the way to Donghai to see them." What the hell are you doing?"

Bureau Chen knocked on the table and reminded: "Little Xianyu said very clearly, and the monitored conversation was also very clear. Those foreign sailors will go to the East China Sea tomorrow, and they will fly back to China the day after tomorrow at the latest.

The foreign ship will only berth at the pier for three days. It is currently unloading, and it is estimated that it will start loading tomorrow night, and it will leave as soon as it is full.The people involved in the case have all left, how will we investigate then? "

Chief Jiang frowned and said, "Time is too tight."

"The three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. Everyone use their brains and think carefully about what they are doing."

"Exchange foreign exchange certificates to foreign seamen, and foreign seamen then exchange them for US dollars to take away. The exchange rate is dead, and the People's Bank of China has regulations. They don't think they have too much money, so they ask the bank to earn more fees."

"What is the current exchange rate of RMB to US dollars?"

"..."

Before, I only thought that the suspect was reselling foreign exchange certificates, and never considered the US dollar. After all, the US dollar is too far away for ordinary people.

Chen Ju asked how the RMB was exchanged for the US dollar. Everyone really didn't know, and they were stunned for a while.

When Zhang Suo mentioned the exchange rate just now, Han Yu made a rough guess and said, "The official exchange rate stipulated by the People's Bank of China is 3.7221 RMB to 1 US dollar."

Chen Ju was very surprised and asked curiously, "Little Xianyu, how did you know that?"

"Chen Bureau, although our Xu Institute didn't come, he attaches great importance to this case. He has contacted friends who work in big banks and conducted research on financial foreign exchange management."

"How did he say."

"I didn't have time to report to Xu, but based on what Xu learned, I probably guessed what Ye Xingguo and the others wanted to do."

Chen Ju asked, "What are they doing?"

What Xu Sanye learned was too confusing, so Han Yu smoothed his thoughts, organized his words, and explained: "Leaders, as far as Xu knows, 3.7221 RMB to 1 US dollar is the official exchange rate stipulated by the People's Bank of China.

However, due to the shortage of national foreign exchange reserves, not companies with import and export rights can apply for exchange into US dollars. "

"In order to strengthen foreign exchange control, the state has implemented a policy of freezing all foreign exchange balances retained by import and export enterprises from 1986 and before last year.

The difference in foreign exchange used last year will also be deducted this year.That is to say, even if there are foreign exchange deposits in the accounts of import and export enterprises, they cannot be withdrawn. "

Chen Ju asked half-understanding: "So nervous about foreign exchange?"

"It's more tense than expected. Our friends from the Xu Institute said that the South China Sea has just been established as a province. Before the establishment of the province, the foreign exchange was quite limited, but it also enjoyed the flexible and preferential import and export policies of the Shenzhen-Zhengzheng Special Economic Zone.

In order to develop the economy, they specially sent people to Guangdong, Guangdong and other provinces to buy foreign currency at high prices, and even went door-to-door in Shenzheng, Zhuhai and other places to snap up foreign currency. "

Han Yu took out a small notebook, flipped through it and continued to report: "Because of the shortage of foreign exchange, the foreign exchange swap center in Guangdong Province had to keep the same exchange rate as the black market. Their U.S. dollar swap price has changed from 1:5.5 in March. , rose to 1:6.7."

Zhang Junyan didn't expect Xu Sanye to know the world's affairs without going out like a scholar, and he can still play a role without people coming. He asked in surprise: "Salted fish, you mean that one dollar can be exchanged for six yuan and seventy cents!"

"Zhang Suo, the 1:6.7 mentioned just now is the adjustment price of the Guangdong Foreign Exchange Adjustment Center, which is equivalent to the official exchange rate established by Dongguang Province for economic development.

It is aimed at import and export enterprises that need foreign exchange, and the amount that can be adjusted is far from meeting the needs of import and export enterprises, which means that not everyone can exchange it. "

Han Yu closed the notebook and added: "Personally, I can't exchange it. Maybe the price of goods has skyrocketed this year. Many people think that US dollars are more valuable, and many people want to go abroad but can't live without US dollars. Therefore, the exchange rate in the black market has reached more than 1:8. It is said that in some places It has reached 1:12 or even 1:13."

Production materials such as steel are supplied according to plans, and prices are negotiated, and the prices vary greatly.

Unexpectedly, the official exchange rate and the black market exchange rate of one dollar to RMB are so different from the official exchange rate stipulated by the People's Bank of China.

Bureau Chen realized that the case was more complicated than expected, so he stared at Han Yu and asked, "What about our case?"

"Chen Bureau, before talking about their illegal profit-making methods, I think we should first talk about the foreign exchange certificates."

"Say, we do need to learn."

"After the reform and opening up, more and more foreigners came to China and returned overseas Chinese, but the market supply was tight, and grain, oil, meat, and cloth were still rationed in the first two years.

In order to meet the needs of foreigners and returned overseas Chinese, there are foreign-related hotels and foreign-related shops such as the Seaman's Club and the Friendship Store. "

Han Yu took a deep breath, and continued: "But in China, the circulation of foreign currency is prohibited, and foreign exchange certificates are issued to facilitate foreign guests and returned overseas Chinese to purchase items in these places.

It can be circulated, bearer's name, and does not report loss. To put it bluntly, it is money. In the words of financial experts, it is equivalent to a privileged currency. "
