“A woman stunned staff at a car showroom by making a part payment for a new BMW 730Li using 100,000 yuan (HK$126,700) in one-yuan banknotes. The unnamed buyer, who owns a food retail business, paid the rest of the cost of her one-million-yuan car with her bank card. She said people often paid her at work using small denomination notes. As she was often busy she had decided to keep the banknotes until she was able to spend them all at once when buying a car. Li Moran, general manager of the car dealers, said the purchase had been the first time he and his staff had counted so much cash.”
