One hundred and fortieth chapters troublesome chores(1/2)
Jishi Petrochemical Machinery has had a very prosperous life in the past two years. With more than 4,000 pumping units a year, it has a revenue of 600 million yuan and a net profit of more than 100 million yuan.
Because of his outstanding performance, factory director Chai Guoqing was transferred to Dagang Oilfield Corporation as vice president, in charge of manufacturing and processing business, and in charge of two machinery factories.
The level has been raised, but some people say that it is a rise and a fall, and everyone knows that "it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail".
Indeed, as the deputy director of the head office, Chai Guoqing cannot interfere with the specific business of the two machinery factories. He is almost fifty years old, and there is not much room for promotion in the head office, so for him, as long as the two factories
Don't get into trouble, just goof around.
There are two machinery factories, one is the petrochemical machinery factory that he once directed, also called the General Machinery Factory, which was restructured and renamed Tiancheng Machinery Co., Ltd. last year; the other was restructured at the same time and named Xintian Machinery Co., Ltd.
Tiancheng's main business is drilling machinery, while Xintian's main business is chemical equipment.
After Chai Guoqing was promoted to the main factory, Wang Entong, the executive, also left his post. He was not promoted to the second line.
The so-called second line means retaining rank and salary, and the unit no longer arranges division of labor. People who reach the second line basically go home to rest, and the unit will no longer order them, and they will not go to the unit except for personal matters.
Tiancheng’s new factory director is named Chen Youli, who came from Xintian.
After taking office last year, he learned about the cooperation agreement between Tiancheng and Limin Machinery Factory, and he had strong opinions on this cooperation method that "lost power and humiliated the factory."
However, after analyzing the technical conditions of the factory, he also knew that he could not leave Limin Machinery Factory.
I should be able to make the gearbox with my own efforts, but the motor is not good enough. I found several motor factories to copy it, but they couldn't meet the performance requirements, so I had to hold back and allocate the order to Limin Factory.
Chen Youli thought to himself: If you purchase two sets of accessories from them, you have to give them an order for an oil pumping unit. What is this? It is embarrassing for state-owned enterprises.
In September last year, the person in charge of a VIA energy services company approached Chen Youli about getting a batch of pumping units to export abroad.
In this era, exporting to earn foreign exchange is profitable. The direct benefits are foreign currency income and export tax rebates.
Take Tiancheng as an example. If the machinery factory needs to purchase foreign machinery or technology, or if the factory leaders want to visit foreign countries for inspection, foreign currency must be used.
How do you get foreign currency? As a state-owned enterprise, there are two main ways. One is to sell products abroad, and foreign customers pay for the goods, which is transferred to the company's foreign currency account.
The other is to apply for quotas from the superior company or relevant national departments and exchange RMB for foreign exchange.
In 1996, China's foreign exchange reserves were just over 100 billion U.S. dollars, which was a little loose, but it was not easy to apply for foreign exchange quotas from relevant departments.
It's better to ask for help than to ask for help yourself. It's so convenient if you can earn foreign exchange by yourself.
So Chen Youli became interested, and the conditions offered by the other party were also very attractive.
Tiancheng sold the pumping units to them and they exported them abroad. Then the other party arranged for foreign companies or banks to lend money to Tiancheng to meet Tiancheng's needs for purchasing foreign equipment and technology.
If Chen Youli goes abroad for inspection, the other party will arrange the itinerary and provide a full range of services.
Therefore, Tiancheng sold 2,000 pumping units to VIA Energy Services Company.
As for whether there is a breach of contract, Chen Youli believes: Tiancheng does not directly export pumping units. If the matter of infringement occurs, it should be brought to VIA, but not to Tiancheng.
Wang Jiaqi gave a brief summary of the investigation, and then said: "Weisheng Energy is a leather company. They exported the oil pumping unit to Halliburton. It seems that there will be an international lawsuit."
After hearing this, Chen Lidong was helpless. The exclusive deal looked good, but it was difficult to do. "There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me."
"Send a letter first and ask Tiancheng to explain the situation.
If Tiancheng conceals the facts and we have evidence, we will stop supplying them with special motors and gearboxes.
By the way, in this case, does Halliburton count as infringement?"
Wang Jiaqi replied: "We have applied for a patent in Sam Country and have obtained the authorization.
Halliburton's use or sale of our patented products without our permission must be an infringement.
According to the law, they should stop using or selling our pumping units and bear the losses caused by such adverse consequences. Of course, they can seek compensation from VIA Energy Services for these losses."
"Okay, then also send a letter to Halliburton to notify them to stop the infringement.
As for VIA Energy, sue them and we will fight this lawsuit to the end."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements when I get back.
There is also news that Mr. Chen and Li Taishun asked me to tell you in person."
Wang Jiaqi wrote down what Chen Lidong told him in his notebook, and then reported: "Recently, our salesman went to Gan Province to purchase neodymium oxide and came back empty-handed. Not only was the purchase contract not signed, but the materials were not received either.
No one will sell it to us even if we buy it in cash.
Mr. Chen and Brother Taishun suspected that Kong Yilin was causing trouble.
Li Siyuan and I planned to arrange people to investigate Kong Yilin's situation. We learned that he has a motor factory in Shanghai. In the past, Celeron supplied goods to the Shanghai motor factory. This is easy to investigate.
After Celeron was taken over by us, the other party stopped purchasing magnets from us.
We suspect that Kong Yilin has also invested in a NdFeB sintering plant in Gan Province and has made arrangements in the rare earth industry."
Chen Lidong sighed and said: "You will always have to pay back what you eat and what you defecate when you go out to hang out.
Kong Yilin was not mad to death by us, so he was great. But if he was caught by them so quickly, it seemed that we were too useless.
I agree with you to investigate Kong Yilin and ask Siyuan to arrange more manpower to go to Gan Province to see the production of rare earth mines there.
As for the raw materials, I will think of a way and I will personally tell my elder brother that you should not get involved."
At this point, seeing that Wang Jiaqi hadn't moved yet, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Well. There is one more thing. They heard that I was coming to 'face the Holy Spirit', so they asked me to tell you face to face.
It's not my business in the first place, so I had to make this point. Alas..."
After saying this, Wang Jiaqi showed a sad expression on her face.
Chen Lidong was a little dumbfounded. This should be called "being a gunman". What on earth is it? It's so coquettish.
"Just tell me, I'm not a petty person."
Wang Jiaqi said: "The enlarged meeting of the group's board of directors brought up the matter of the demolition of your relative. You said at the meeting that you would personally find that relative. They were afraid that you would forget about it."
"I looked for that matter. I... asked my partner to find it," Chen Lidong said.
Wang Jiaqi chuckled and said, "It must be up to no good. Yesterday, your relative went to the town and made a lot of noise. Liu Qinghua was so angry that he almost asked the police station to lock up your relative."
"What did my relative say?...Did he impose additional conditions?"
"He wants a store along the street. He said that his house is next to a market and they were planning to open a market, so if the house is demolished, he will be given a store room."
"Let me go, those rows of merchants on the ground floor are for the town supply and marketing cooperative and agricultural supplies company, why should I give it to him? He can just want it, he can just buy it with money."
Wang Jiaqi was speechless and just smiled.
Chen Lidong said angrily: "Is there anything else?"
"I'm fine. I'm waiting for your instructions."
"They didn't say anything, but they let you speak. How do they want you, the Minister of Justice, to resolve the case?
My instruction? Okay, I instruct you: disappear." Chen Lidong began to chase people away.
"Yes!" Wang Jiaqi stood up, patted her butt and left.
Chen Lidong started to have a toothache. The relative everyone was talking about was Sun Jie’s uncle, who lived in the same village as his father-in-law.
In the previous life, my father-in-law's family, including Chen Lidong, helped this uncle contract land and increase his income, and they also contributed a lot.
Chen Lidong thought about it for a long time and finally came up with an idea. He took out his phone and called Liu Qinghua.
"Leader, what are you doing?"
"Waiting for my son to call me." Liu Qinghua said angrily.
"Hey, who made you angry? I'll help you deal with him."
"Don't pretend to be with me. Your relative smashed all the windows in our office yesterday.
You said, you can't control this person. If you can't control him, I'll let the people from the police station go.
He has to ask a dealer. In a few days, there will be several dealers who will draw lots and sell them to outsiders. Whichever one he catches will be the one. If he has no money, you can pay him to buy it.
We have rules for demolition. Want to take advantage of me? No one can!"
"Okay! Whatever you say is fine.
You need to calm down first. I really have no choice here. I have a lot of things at hand, otherwise I have to come to you in person to apologize.
I just wanted to spend money to buy a dealer for him, but if there is one, there are two.
I think it’s better to find something practical for this relative to do.”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"You used to be an official in Gaoshang Town, right? Are there rice fields there that are being outsourced?
Please ask, I am going to contract 1,000 acres, and then give that relative two hundred acres of rice, two hundred acres of rice, and I can earn tens of thousands a year."
Liu Qinghua waited on the phone for a few seconds before asking: "He will go if you tell him to go?"
"It's cheaper to pass it on to him. I'll rent it for 400 an acre and give it to him for 200 an acre. Do you think he can go?"
"The difference between an acre of land is 200 and 200 acres, which is 40,000. I'll go with it. It's not the first month yet, so the land probably hasn't been contracted out yet. Let me ask."
"You always told the leaders of Gaoshang Town that I would lease the land for at least 15 years, preferably 30 years. After I rent the land, I have to buy farm machinery and repair farm canals.
It will definitely be turned into a mechanized farm in the future, and it will also set a model for them."
