Chapter 071: Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company
District government conference room.
Lin Yi came over to attend the "Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company" conference organized by the district government. On the round conference table, in addition to the leaders, there were more than a dozen people attending the conference, including men, women, old and young. Most of these people looked a little uncomfortable.
Feeling at ease, even nervous.
District Mayor Yang Zhicheng personally presided over the meeting. He first talked about the district's decision, and then the significance of establishing the Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company. He called Lin Yi and others to come, with the purpose of mobilizing these people's overseas relationships and hoping to build a communication bridge for the people of the region.
Business opens a way.
After the leader finished speaking, he looked at the dozen or so people in the audience with a warm expression, "Comrades, the situation has been clearly explained. Do you have anything to say? Let's talk freely."
No one is the first to speak,
The atmosphere at the venue was slightly depressing.
The leader began to call the names, glanced at the list and said, "Who is Comrade Zheng Yougong?"
A middle-aged man wearing glasses quickly stood up. He was quite tall, probably over 1.8 meters tall, but his figure was very thin, his waist was slightly stooped, and his expression was even more reserved.
"Leader, I am Zheng Yougong."
"You are now a teacher at the fifth primary school in the district?"
"Yes leader."
"You have a brother in America?"
Zheng Yougong hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, I haven't contacted you for a long time. I don't know whether I am dead or alive."
The leader looked at Zheng Yougong and sighed slightly in his heart. He had been exposed and beaten before due to overseas relations, but now many people are still cautious and worried about being implicated.
"Can you try to get in touch? Now that we have reformed and opened up, we are now a trading partner with the United States."
"It's the leader. I'll go back and give it a try." Zheng Yougong responded solemnly.
The leaders asked by name one by one. Many people were in the same situation as Zheng Yougong, and most of them had lost contact. Some of them were indeed the truth, after all, it had just ended, and some were deliberately concealing the situation out of worry. After all, the fear in their hearts could not be resolved in a day or two.
eliminated.
Of course, some are in contact, but it’s hard to say whether it will work. After all, the vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people, and those who go out may not have a good life.
The leader finally called Lin Yi's name and asked with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Lin, I heard that you have relatives in Hong Kong, and you even went to Hong Kong a few days ago?"
Lin Yi stood up, "Yes, leader, I have a cousin in Hong Kong. I went to Hong Kong last month and only came back a few days ago."
District Chief Yang nodded, "Xiao Lin, you are doing business on Hanzheng Street and have some knowledge of business. Do you have any suggestions for us to set up this 'Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company'? I would like to hear your opinion."
Lin Yi had thought a lot about this company in the past two days and felt that it was an opportunity that could be exploited. He then said openly: "Boss, I do have some ideas."
District Chief Yang became interested, "Oh, tell me."
"My relatives in Hong Kong also run a trading company. I think I can bring samples there and try to see if I can find sales there."
District Chief Yang is delighted, this is the effect he wants.
As long as you can find a way among these people, it will be a huge success.
"What does your relative's trading company mainly do?"
"Daily necessities."
After the meeting ended and everyone else left, Lin Yi was called to the office alone by District Chief Yang. The secretary served tea and sat next to him and took out a notebook to record.
"Xiao Lin, I heard that you are doing very well in Hanzheng Street and you are the largest taxpayer in Hanzheng Street." District Chief Yang said with a smile.
"It's mainly due to the leadership's decision-making and concern. We merchants just seized an opportunity." Lin Yi said in a very humble tone.
"Being able to seize the opportunity shows that it is not simple. Courage and brains are indispensable." District Chief Yang praised.
"We didn't talk thoroughly at the meeting. Do you have anything else to say about the Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company? Can you speak freely?"
Since the leader said he could speak freely, Lin Yi was not polite.
"Leader, is this company publicly owned?"
"Of course."
"The exit procedures are prepared by the district, right?"
"Well, it will be solved in these districts. All you have to do is contact overseas relations and sell the goods. As long as you place an order in Hong Kong, you don't need to worry about the procedures here. The goods of each unit will definitely be guaranteed to be sufficient."
"Then in what capacity should I go?"
District Chief Yang smiled and said, "The district committee has discussed this before, and we can hire you as the business manager of the Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company, specifically responsible for business liaison. As for wages and benefits, they will be compared according to standards and business trip expenses will be reimbursed. What do you think?
Sample?"
Lin Yixin said,
This arrangement is very Chinese.
use you,
But it won't give you much benefit.
If Lin Yi hadn't had his own ideas, he wouldn't have taken this matter.
"Okay, I am willing to accept this task." Lin Yi said with a smile.
District Chief Yang likes the young man in front of him who is sensible and considers the overall situation. "In the past two days, I will organize people to approve the export list and samples. The government will issue you a job introduction letter to facilitate your trip to Hong Kong."
"Okay, I'll wait for news from the leader."
In the 1980s, China exported mainly raw materials, roughly processed products, agricultural products, and light industrial and textile products. Industrial products and technical products only accounted for a small part. Of course, the country has been vigorously organizing the promotion of these products.
But there are too many overlapping companies in China, and the export list is just that. How can it be your turn? For example, textile companies. There are textile factories in every city in the country, and they can produce towels, but the annual export volume of towels is only 10 million pieces.
A few or dozens of people can eat it, but most of them can only be looked at with greed.
Is it because the state doesn’t allow the sale?
Of course not,
The main reason is that it cannot be sold and the channels are not open.
That’s why leaders are trying their best to find ways to increase exports. As long as they can earn foreign exchange through exports during this period, it is a political achievement.
Just like the construction of economic development zones across the country in the 1990s to attract investment, when various regions wanted to develop their economies and the state advocated the introduction of foreign investment, they all looked for connections to attract investment, and all foreign businessmen became popular.
Back to Hanzheng Street,
Lin Yi still felt it was amazing.
After just attending a meeting, he suddenly became the deputy manager of Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company. He also received a salary and went out to handle reimbursements.
In fact, the most important thing is
It's because of the government.
Lin Yi's original idea was to register a company in Hong Kong, become an employee of the Hong Kong company, and then invest and build a factory in Shenzhen as a representative of Hong Kong investors. As for the products, he had already thought about it.
The first one is to build a sunglasses factory.
Sunglasses will continue to sell well, and the cost is not high and the technology is not complicated. As long as the sales are good, it will definitely be a good business.
Then there is the construction of a clothing processing factory. At present, domestic clothing is still too monotonous. After entering the 1980s, people's pursuit of beauty has gradually increased. Bell bottoms and windbreakers will become the mainstream. Lin Yi is ready to take advantage of this wave of dividends.
Lin Yi also understands the future fashion trends and continues to follow the trends. He believes that the products of the clothing factory will continue to sell well.
Later, he planned to open a cosmetics factory. In fact, cosmetics are not complicated at all. Nowadays, domestic cosmetics, such as clam oil, cream, colorful and Yumeijing children's cream, are the mainstream. Lin Yi's idea is very simple, just make a big baby.
Face oils such as clam oil are relatively oily. Dabao is highly hydrating and will definitely be more popular with girls. As for the craftsmanship, Dabao's craftsmanship has long been cracked. Lin Yi is going to go back to modern times and check online.
I'll bring you the recipe next time I come over.
There are also lipsticks. There are too many tutorials on how to make lipsticks online. You can just make a mold at home and produce it yourself.
But he didn't expect,
Things changed faster than he expected.
back home,
Suddenly the "Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company" appeared.
After two days of thinking, Lin Yi found that if he made good use of this overseas Chinese friendship trading company, he could develop faster.
He only has 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. From building the factory to producing products, this 500,000 is definitely not enough. He has to find other ways, such as seeking government loans as a foreign investor. After the goods are produced, he also needs to find channels to sell them. Now it is a planned economy.
The easiest way is to find a state department to affiliate with, such as a supply and marketing cooperative.
There are many levels to pass here.
Now that we have the Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company, we have switched from production to export, and things have suddenly become simpler.
Lin Yi has already thought of a plan.
Get the product catalog.
Go to Hong Kong, hire a professional manager, hire a group of salespeople, and throw the products to them.
Tell them that as long as they make a sale, they will get a high commission. I believe these salespeople will try their best to sell the product.
He just needs to sit back and wait to receive the money.
As for the account funds, he naturally uses his 'Yishida Trading Co., Ltd.'. If the purchase price is lowered and the selling price is raised, the profits will come out, and the payment time will be longer.
Naturally, there will be more funds.
Good wind relies on its power,
Send me to the blue sky.
Lin Yi was making his own plans, but the government and enterprises were quarreling. The government notified the enterprises in the area to organize a product list. These enterprises had long heard that they would establish an 'Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company' to promote the export of enterprises in the area.
.
All companies are staring at it, fearing that they will miss the opportunity.
In fact, not only the companies in Qiaokou District, but also companies in other places have received the news. The leaders of these factories are well informed, and everyone will know about any news from above soon.
Enterprises in Qiaokou District.
What?
With him and without me, I am missing something, and I can’t do it without him.
Businesses outside Qiaokou District.
What?
Why only companies from Qiaokou District are included? Isn’t this regional discrimination? What’s wrong with our companies in other districts?
So these companies went to Jiangcheng City Committee to find leaders. The leaders of the municipal committee had no choice but to negotiate with Qiaokou District to increase the quota.
Foreign companies.
What?
Why do we only bring companies from Jiangcheng City? Are we not companies from the province? What is wrong with us? We cannot treat them differently.
These companies went to the provincial leaders.
Originally it was just a matter for oneself in Qiaokou District, but now it is getting bigger and bigger. Enterprises across the province want to get involved and don't want to miss this good opportunity.
District Chief Yang looked at the list and felt a little worried. He came up with this method. He originally wanted the companies in his district to make profits and earn foreign exchange. Unexpectedly, when these guys heard the letter, they all pounced on it, and the list suddenly increased from dozens to hundreds.
