Tianjing Shixing Furniture Factory has gained a lot: not only signed several overseas orders, but also confirmed the general agent in overseas markets.
From then on, the furniture factory has at least annual sales of more than 5 million yuan in overseas markets.
This does not include sales from previous orders from Siam and Malay, as well as the processing agreement with Harada.
In this way, the furniture factory can create at least US$1.5 million in foreign exchange for Saibei every year.
This amount of money will be nothing in future generations, not even the foreign exchange income brought by a small foreign trade company.
But for Shaanzhou Province at this period, it can be regarded as a medium-sized foreign exchange-earning enterprise.
Especially for the Tuocheng area.
Tianjing Shixing Furniture Factory can definitely be regarded as the number one enterprise in earning foreign exchange, and it is also the kind of enterprise that does not rely on the export of primary minerals and agricultural and sideline products.
This information will boost other companies in Saibei and stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for earning foreign exchange.
Opening the horizons of local managers in various industries and expanding their way of thinking has an immeasurable role model.
In the past, the leaders of the relevant departments in Saibei seemed to have only sold rare earths, magnesium-aluminum ores, and these rough-processed minerals, in order to earn foreign exchange through exports.
Unexpectedly,
A small furniture factory can actually become a major foreign exchange earner!
For thousands of years, the economic development of Saibei has been lagging behind.
Everyone thinks that the barren and arid Loess Plateau has precious products, low food crop yields, and a harsh climate.
Therefore, everyone vaguely feels that the economic backwardness of Saibei seems to be the right thing, and there is no way to change it.
But what they didn't know was that in later generations, Camel City would be called the Kuwait of the Celestial Empire.
Its GDP is truly unparalleled among counties and cities in the western region.
Just as everyone gathered around the reception table at the front of the booth, they were thinking about the gains of this trip and were very excited about it.
Some of the young male and female employees who came out of the furniture factory this time were already thinking about how much bonus they would get after returning.
At this time, Harada, who had originally left the furniture factory's booth, turned back.
He also proposed that he would like to take a trip to Saibei and plan to go to Tianjing Shixing Furniture Factory for a thorough inspection.
Logically speaking,
As the furniture factory is Harada's processing factory, it is normal for customers to request on-site inspections.
Just like many OEM processing companies in later generations.
Not only do they have to accept various additional conditions from customers, but they also have to allow customers to come to the factory for surprise inspections at any time.
There are many items for such surprise inspections:
For example, do the raw materials used in the factory meet the standards, is the paint used a well-known brand; is the factory's production environment dirty and messy?
Even in contract processing factories, how do they treat their employees' welfare, are there any illegal employment practices, are there any violations of labor laws, etc.
These are all within the scope of customer inspection.
But in this period, this approach will definitely not work!
Factory workers are all masters.
Who is willing to accept an outsider to find faults and point fingers?
What’s more, it’s a small notebook!
To be honest, if Harada dared to walk alone on the streets of Shilipu Commune, I guarantee that he would not be able to walk more than 100 meters, and he would be beaten by the bitter and resentful people, and he would not be able to take care of himself!
It’s great to be rich, but the worst thing you can do is not do this business!
The mentality of keeping a small book and running far away has become deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people in the Saibei area.
"this"
Harada's request really embarrassed Luo Xuan, "Mr. Harada, I welcome you to visit Tianjing Fashion Furniture Factory at any time."
"It's just that due to some objective reasons, Mr. Harada, you still need to apply for some specific procedures for your trip to Saibei."
Luo Xuan could only tactfully evade: "This prefecture-level unit that needs us will send you an invitation letter and it must be approved by the Shaanxi Foreign Affairs Office."
】
"I understand."
Harada smiled slightly: "I will not return to China for the time being, and I still need to visit a few more exhibitions. During this time, I hope Luo Sang can apply to your superiors for me, please!"
Shengzi, who was standing next to Luo Xuan, had his lips moving and was about to say something.
But he was stopped by Luo Xuan's look.
Wait until Harada leaves.
Luo Xuan turned sideways and said, "Sheng Zai, what did you want to say just now?"
Shengzai was also straightforward and said without hesitation: "Mr. Harada wants to go on a field trip to the factory in Saibei. This is a good thing. Why don't you agree to him?"
Luo Xuan asked: "What's so good about it?"
"If we can meet the requirements of Xiaobenzi, it will be beneficial to improving the management level of the factory and improving the production process. Xiaobenzi does have a lot of advanced experience in energy conservation and efficiency improvement."
Shengzi replied frankly: "Although I don't have a formal job, I also know that there are many companies making export products in Yangcheng, and many of them say so."
After listening to Shengzi’s words,
Luo Xuan replied coldly: "Sheng Zai, are you a little confused about your own position?"
Shengzi blushed and said nothing.
After all, Shengzi can do odd jobs here.
That was all because Luo Xiannian was staying at his house, and Shengzi even took the initiative to buy breakfast for everyone in the morning.
Only then did Shengzi come over to help so that he could earn some living expenses.
Harada's desire to conduct an on-the-spot investigation may be in the eyes of the open-minded business managers in Yangcheng.
That is a very normal and even desirable thing.
But Shengzi's mistake was that he ignored that Saibei is an old district.
The folks there have a clear distinction between love and hate, and they would rather bend than bend.
Seeing Luo Xuan scold Sheng Zai away, Li Li, who originally wanted to persuade Luo Xuan, suddenly did not dare to speak any more.
The atmosphere at the scene was slightly awkward.
Fortunately, there is not much time left before today's exhibition is cleared.
So everyone began to pack their things silently and prepare to clear the place.
Just at this time.
A female worker in the furniture factory trotted up to Luo Xuan and whispered in Luo Xuan's ear: "Director Luo, our county leader Wei is here!"
I haven't waited for Luo Xuan to turn around.
A familiar voice sounded: "Hey, the layout of this booth is really attractive!
No wonder I walked into the exhibition hall, wandered around for a few steps, and saw our Zhimi County enterprise booth at a glance! Good, good!"
Everyone turned to look.
It turned out to be Leader Wei and two other comrades from the county government, who suddenly appeared on the side of the booth.
Luo Xuan put down what he was doing and hurriedly greeted him, "Why are you here, leader?"
"Hahaha, didn't I say that if I could spare the time, I would come over to attend the meeting so that I could learn more and expand my horizons?"
Leader Wei is in a good mood.
I saw him smiling heartily: "How about it? I heard that the furniture factory has made a lot of gains this time. It's a full harvest and it's worth celebrating!"
Luo Xuan also laughed: “We can achieve this only because of the leadership’s careful guidance and strong support.”
"Stop talking!"
Leader Wei patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder and said angrily: "You are not good at patting horses and beards, and I don't like playing with these vain things. If you dare to do this again, I won't pay you tonight."
You guys are here."
With that said, Leader Wei changed the topic: "Luo Xuan, don't blame me for arranging people. You have to keep an eye on the performance of the furniture factory all the time, so you have to be restrained, right?"
Come to the exhibition this time,
Among the male and female employees selected by the furniture factory to accompany them, some will keep in touch with Leader Wei.
That person would report the itinerary and the details of each order to Leader Wei every day.
Luo Xuan knew this very well.
Just because if there is no effective supervision, the person in charge of these foreign-related orders can actually steal the benefits if they deliberately want to cause trouble.
In future generations, this will be called that.
Luo Xuan chuckled: "Yes, it is nonsense to rely on one person's consciousness to exercise self-discipline. Only by tightening the string of discipline at all times can effective supervision be truly achieved."
Leader Wei waved his hand, "Don't talk about such profound things, just know what you have in mind."
"Is it time to get off work?"
I looked at the staff in the surrounding booths and they were all leaving the exhibition hall one after another.
Leader Wei said: "Let's go, I will pay for it myself and treat you to a good meal tonight. When you return in triumph, the county government will host a celebration banquet for you."
That night,
At a Shunde restaurant, Leader Wei kept his word and gave everyone a good meal at his own expense.
Unfortunately,
Saibei has a heavy population and really don’t like to eat these bland Cantonese dishes.
They would rather have a plate of sheep's head with vinegar than garlic shrimp; if it's a dragon-tiger fight, everyone thinks it would be better to have a pot of stew to satisfy their cravings.
Wait until you finish eating.
Leader Wei called Luo Xuan to the guest house where he was resting, avoiding everyone, and asked Harada's request in detail.
Immediately, Leader Wei hung up the call of the senior leader and truthfully reported the situation to the senior leader in Xijing City.
"Hello, Comrade Luo Xuan?"
The big leader on the other end of the phone spoke slowly: "In fact, from a personal perspective, I strongly support you in this matter. For international friends with good intentions, we need to unite more and make more friends.
But! Don’t ignore the feelings of the masses. What do I mean by this, do you understand?”
Luo Xuan nodded: "I understand. It's not that this matter is bad, it's just that the timing is wrong. Maybe in a few years, when everyone's thinking has changed, this won't be a problem."
"right!"
On the phone, the senior leader told Luo Xuan in a serious and sincere way: "Some things, no matter what the motivation, must take other things into consideration and weigh them comprehensively from multiple aspects.
If you want to do things, do good things, and do great things, you must pay attention to the impact and consider the issue of personal survival.
The water flows slowly! There are many things that are useful and can be done without being in a hurry."
Today, it is extremely rare for a big leader to say so many profound things to himself on the phone.
If anything goes deeper and is more sensitive, he will definitely not say it directly.
Instead, let Luo Xuan realize it on his own, "Okay, I believe Comrade Luo Xuan, you are a very upright and smart person.
What's even more valuable is that you are a person with feelings.
Let me give you one final word: height.
When you are a production captain, you not only have to consider the feelings of the members of your production team, their actual situation, and their interests.
Moreover, you must fully consider the actual situation and the scope of authority given to you by your superiors.
In this way, you can accurately determine what cannot be touched, what things can be handled by a model, and what things you can do with ease."
These are relatively popular common sense.
The big leader was very thoughtful and said very carefully: "The same reason.
When you become a commune leader, your situation must be enlarged. You cannot always focus on a certain production team or a certain household, the immediate gains and losses of the members.
This does not mean that we do not take the gains and losses of each member of the family into our hearts.
It’s about making comprehensive trade-offs and making trade-offs, do you understand?”
"Leader, I understand."
"Okay, let's do it! There are some things that are not convenient to talk over the phone. If you don't understand something later, ask Xiao Wei for advice. You both have your own strengths and learn from each other. I'll hang up now."
"Dududu——"
That night,
Luo Xuan talked with Leader Wei very late and in depth.
What Leader Wei said was a bit illegal, so his words seemed a little secretive.
But its core meaning is: don’t trust anyone’s guarantee.
Let alone try to significantly change the existing established order and violently challenge the public’s inherent perceptions.
Don't trust anyone's guarantee.
Leader Wei refers to the fact that everything and everyone exists dynamically and will not be static.
As long as Luo Xuan is out of a public spirit and takes a little risk to start a business, even if he takes some detours and pays some trial and error costs.
these things,
Leader Wei can understand and tolerate everything.
But the question is, what happens when the situation changes?
This is like a parent at home. He can encourage his child to go out and have fun, but he can also tolerate him making a little mistake.
But what if it were another parent?
They won't spoil other people's children.
By extension, when you change to Luo Xuan and face others, the same principle is actually the same.
Therefore, Leader Wei implicitly reminded Luo Xuan: Don't expect promises to have any effect. They are time-sensitive and are divided into things and objects.
Wait until late at night.
Luo Xuan went to the park and sat alone for a long time, and then returned to Sheng Zai's house with a heavy heart.
At this time, the two sisters Li Li and Li Na thought that Luo Xuan was going to talk to the leader, so there was nothing to worry about.
They were very tired and had gone to bed early.
But Shengzi, who had also worked hard all day, was waiting downstairs for Luo Xuan to come home.
"What are you waiting for me for?"
Luo Xuandan asked him.
Shengzi chuckled: "No, it's hot at home, so I couldn't sleep, so I came downstairs to hang out."
Luo Xuan asked him: "Besides not going to the countryside to jump in the queue as required, do you have any other bad records?"
Shengzi shook his head: "No, my parents are ordinary residents and have no overseas connections."
"Ah That's good."
After Luo Xuan asked, he went upstairs.
This made Shengzi confused at the entrance of the corridor: Director Luo, what are you doing?
