With a look of surprise, Liu Hui asked incredulously, "Boss, did you give the wrong price?"
"The current exchange rate between USD and RMB is about 6.5." Afraid that Yuan Zhou didn't know that, Liu Hui specially added.
"I know. Thank you. That's your price." Yuan Zhou revealed a serious expression and didn't seem to be joking.
"Boss, your price is wrong. Have a look yourself." Liu Hui took out the menu and handed it to Yuan Zhou.
"Yes. My countrymen only accept RMB and foreigners only accept USD. There's a mark behind it." Yuan Zhou pointed at the USD mark behind the mark of RMB on the menu and said lightly.
"Hey, man, what do you mean? Do I have to pay more just because I'm an American? "Jack also got to know the matter from Liu Hui's intermittent translation and thus said discontentedly.
"Because I'm a Chinese." Yuan Zhou shook his head and then said, "Naturally, it's for the convenience of my countrymen."
As soon as he said that, people in the restaurant instantly became speechless. It seemed to be very reasonable, but at the same time, not at all. People didn't know how to react for an instant.
"You are cheating with the price!" Liu Hui said indignantly.
"Our restaurant marks the price clearly." Yuan Zhou pointed at the wall behind him and the menu in front of them.
"Our restaurant only accepts USD and RMB. Foreigners, please use USD. The exchange rate is 1: 1. If you have any doubt about the price, please accept it under the boss's explanation. Thank you for your cooperation. I wish you a happy mood. " "
The huge characters could be summed up in one sentence, "This is the price. If you accept it, you can eat it. If you don't accept it, I won't serve you."
The two people took a look and found it indeed couldn't be called cheating. It was the regulation of the Commodity Prices Bureau. As long as you marked the price clearly and didn't force others to buy or sell, it was fine.
But what the hell? What did he mean by "please accept it under the boss's explanation" and "happy mood"? It was simply a joke. They were very unhappy now.
After being stupefied for a while, Liu Hui said, "That's price discrimination! Boss, you are discriminating against Americans! "He didn't know what to say and squeezed out a sentence after quite a while.
"Not at all." Yuan Zhou shook his head solemnly, "I treat all foreigners equally. It's just that I care more about the feelings of my countrymen."
He treated all foreigners equally, so the price was 1: 1. Liu Hui felt the blue veins on his forehead were about to stand out.
"Jack, do you still want to eat? I think this boss is ripping people off! "Liu Hui ignored Yuan Zhou and turned to ask Jack.
"Of course, I want to eat. I don't know what laws are in your country. I know I can't sue him for this. But if the price doesn't match the dishes, I will definitely let him go bankrupt!" Jack said ferociously.
"This restaurant doesn't look like it's connected to the internet," Liu Hui looked around and complained.
"Level by level. Since you want to cheat my money, I definitely have to be prepared." There was quite dissatisfaction in Jack's tone.
"Why don't we go next door? It should be good there." Liu Hui thought of the beautifully decorated western restaurant next door.
"No, thanks. I will eat here today." Jack took out his wallet and took out the exact amount of cash.
"Hey, here you are." Jack said these words in Chinese.
Although it was stuttered, Yuan Zhou still understood it.
"One moment, please. The dishes will be served right away." Yuan Zhou took the US dollars with a special tray and looked at it solemnly before pouring it into the cash box.
Actually, Yuan Zhou couldn't tell whether it was real or fake, but he still had to pretend.
"Jack, you don't need to be angry. Let's go there to eat." Liu Hui said helplessly.
"No, no, no. I have to taste the dishes here. It's said on the Internet that it's the best." Jack said with a mocking tone.
"Is it necessary?" Liu Hui asked again.
"Yes!" Jack nodded the head affirmatively.
Then, Liu Hui became helpless. While feeling helpless, he also felt a little ashamed.
In his opinion, Jack was an American who came to his own country for the first time. Unexpectedly, he was cheated at the first meal.
It was as if he had lost his face abroad. It seemed that all the people in this country cheated people like that.
That made Liu Hui feel disgusted with Yuan Zhou.
"You'd better pray that your craftsmanship can match the price. Otherwise, you can't get away with losing money." Liu Hui said to Yuan Zhou with a severe tone.
"Thank you for your concern." Yuan Zhou nodded the head naturally and then went back to the kitchen to cook.
Liu Hui choked.
"This guy is really arrogant. What does he want to do to Boss Yuan?" A customer couldn't stand that and said disdainfully.
"Exactly. The foreigner didn't say anything, but he jumped up." Another customer also said discontentedly.
"He really thinks he's a big shot. Boss Yuan can charge however he likes. He didn't cheat us and marked the price clearly." Customers started to defend Yuan Zhou one after another.
It was boisterous in the restaurant and the customers waiting in line outside weren't bad, either.
Almost everyone knew that Yuan Zhou charged money like that. Most of them agreed with him, but a small part of them thought it would cause the Bureau of Commodity Prices to intervene.
If the restaurant was closed for rectification, where would they go to eat?
"Why do you think Boss Yuan did that?" A customer asked the person beside him curiously.
"I don't think so. He's an American. Of course, he pays in US dollars. Otherwise, it's too cheap to pay in RMB." The customer who was asked straightforwardly agreed with Boss Yuan's action regardless of the consequences.
"That makes sense. US dollars are too expensive." The customer nodded the head approvingly.
"Exactly. Actually, the purchasing power of one US dollar is equal to that of one RMB in America." A customer sighed with emotion and said.
"Yeah. If we sell it to him in RMB, he won't be able to buy the same dishes as us with just a few cents." The customer said discontentedly.
"Exactly. Boss Yuan should do that." Another customer echoed and nodded the head continuously.
"Speaking of which, I once heard a joke. It's said that an American came to our country for a tour." Speaking of that, the customer paused for a while. Only when he found everyone was looking at him did he continue.
"It's said that in 2010, an American came to our country for a tour. The exchange rate was 6.8 at that time. He exchanged 100,000 US dollars for 680,000 RMB."
The customer paused for a while and then continued.
"He ate, drank and played here for one year and spent 180,000 RMB. In 2011, he went back to the bank to exchange US dollars. As the exchange rate of RMB rose to 1: 5 at that time, the American used the remaining 500,000 RMB to exchange for 100,000 US dollars. When he came here, it was still 100,000 US dollars when he went back. Then, he went back happily. "
"That can't be true." The customer felt it unbelievable.
"Why not? Why don't you calculate it yourself?" The customer who said that humphed.
"It feels so unscientific." If he didn't calculate it, he wouldn't know. But now that he calculated it, it seemed to make sense.
"What else? Listen to this." The customer continued saying.
"After he heard of that, another American followed suit. He also exchanged 100,000 US dollars for 680,000 RMB. He also spent 500,000 US dollars to buy a house and also spent 180,000 RMB on eating, drinking and playing."
"In the end, he wanted to go back. Since he couldn't take the house away, he directly sold it and got a net profit of 1 million US dollars, which happened to be worth 200,000 US dollars. In the end, the American said complacently that he wasn't playing but making money for fun."
"I have a curse, but I don't know whether I should say it or not." The customer sneered coldly.
The customer who had just said that continued saying, "Do you think that's all? Not yet. The key is that some people are very happy because the GDP has increased. "
"Although it's just a joke, I also feel that Boss Yuan has done a great job." A customer nodded the head smilingly.
"I can't tell that Boss Yuan is a nationalist. I suddenly feel that Boss Yuan is too nice. I decide to order one more dish later." The customer said with a firm expression.
"How are you going to explain to your girlfriend?" Someone at the side said faintly.
"Our friendship is over." The customer turned his head angrily, indicating that he didn't want to talk to him at all.
Unknowingly, Yuan Zhou received a lot of good guy cards again. Besides, his way of collecting money also caused a sensation on the Internet...
