The Minmetals Area is only one kilometer away from the Xiangxiang Machinery Factory. It has been stationed here since the 1950s. It was built with the help of Soviet experts at that time, so there are still a large number of Soviet-style buildings in the compound, which are rough and majestic.
As one of the old provincial enterprises in Nangang area, the Minmetals Area at the department level is an independent society.
There are more than 50,000 employees' family members in total. They have their own public security organs, hospitals, schools, shops, stations, cinemas, parks, libraries...
Although there are no walls, everyone knows that the Minmetals Area is another world, a world with much richer materials than the local area.
Compared with Minmetals, Huashi Machinery Factory pales in comparison to Minmetals. Therefore, when Luo Fuqiang met Luo Lihao, chairman of Minmetals Union, he was bent over.
We met in a training class in the early years, and they both had the surname Luo. Although Luo Lihao was nearly ten years older than Luo Fuqiang, who was in his forties, he was still very polite to Luo Fuqiang.
He made tea himself and put it in front of Luo Fuqiang. Luo Lihao sat down and said with a smile, "Fuqiang, Deputy Director Fang told me on the phone. Don't worry, there will be no problem if you can help. Actually, you
I am a classmate, just call me directly, there is no need to alert Deputy Director Fang."
Luo Fuqiang smiled awkwardly and said helplessly, "Lao Luo, I have absolutely no other intentions. It's just that this time my opponent is not an ordinary person. He is also very strong at the direction machine factory. After much thought, I'd better fight Deputy Fang first."
I’ll call you and report the situation before I dare to come to you for help.”
"The Directional Machinery Factory is right next to it. Well, I still know something about it. It is a private enterprise. The boss is young and has sufficient funds. He seems to have some background. Fuqiang, as far as I know, they are still in the construction stage of the factory.
Since there are no products out there, we shouldn’t be competing with you yet, right?” Luo Lihao said in confusion, lighting up a cigarette and starting to smoke.
Since you are asking for help, it is natural to explain the matter clearly.
Luo Fuqiang said, "I went to the Czech Republic a few years ago and took a fancy to a heavy truck production line. You know, after our Huashi Machinery Factory was handed over to the local government, the sales of petrochemical machinery dropped sharply. If we don't find a way to switch production, we will have to make a big profit."
question."
"We held countless discussions and decided to switch to heavy truck production. The best way was of course to directly purchase the production line, install it and put it into production. As a result, the heavy truck production line was taken over by a Japanese company, and the Japanese company sold it to a Hong Kong company. In the end, I
It was found that the Hong Kong company was sold to an import and export trading company in Nangang, and the final buyer was this direction machinery factory."
After a pause, he said, "It's okay not to ask. When I asked, it turned out to be a private company. Tell me, the imported heavy truck production line is too long, how can it be given to a private company? But the boss is particularly difficult to talk to, and maybe there is something wrong with it.
Background."
When Luo Lihao nodded slightly, Luo Fuqiang said, "Brother Lihao, you are familiar with the situation in Nangang and have high prestige in this area. I would like to ask you to come forward and help us talk. Of course our Huashi Machinery Factory will not give you the money in vain.
Their production line is fair and just, and they pay according to the price, but we can only give Huaxia coins."
What they import back must be foreign exchange. You can only give Chinese currency. How is it fair? Which manufacturer can earn one million US dollars in foreign exchange will be on the front page of the top newspaper. Promotion is just around the corner.
.
Luo Fuqiang did not say how much foreign exchange it spent to introduce the production line to Xiangxiang Machinery Factory, and Luo Lihao did not ask, but he asked, "Where did Xiangxiang Machinery Factory get the foreign exchange? They are a private enterprise, so even if they have foreign exchange, they cannot use it casually."
"So they did some operations here. They bought it from a Hong Kong company, and that Hong Kong company was willing to accept Huaxia coins." Luo Fuqiang said.
This can be explained.
Without the approval of the competent authorities, no matter how large an enterprise is, it cannot freely use foreign exchange (US dollars) unless you have foreign exchange autonomy. This is the foreign exchange retention system.
For example, if Directional Machinery Factory has 1 million US dollars in hand, the foreign exchange management department will give Directional Machinery Factory 30% of the right to use foreign exchange, that is, Directional Machinery Factory can freely use US$300,000.
Yao Yuan's situation is different. Most of his U.S. dollars are in overseas accounts, and less than 100 million U.S. dollars are remitted domestically and belong to Southern Industrial. Even so, he is also a key target of attention and care by the foreign exchange management department.
Looking around, which company in the country has US$100 million in foreign exchange?
Luo Fuqiang didn't know about these situations, and he was pretty much the same. At best, he was the director of a local deputy department-level factory, and there was still a long way to go before he had access to this type of information.
Luo Lihao thought for a while and said, "It's okay if I go and talk to him. I can't guarantee whether it will have any effect."
"Brother Lihao, thank you!" Luo Fuqiang took out two bottles of Maotai puree and two boxes of tea, and said with a smile, "I came in a hurry and I was not prepared, so I took it as my own intention."
Luo Lihao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Look at you, an old classmate, and you still do this."
When Luo Lihao accepted the gift, Luo Fu lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lihao, to be honest, I also found some connections to do some work, and the production line is currently temporarily detained at the port..."
He told the whole story once, but he told it selectively.
In his heart, Luo Lihao actually didn't take the steering machinery seriously, let alone Yao Yuan. Because of his ignorance, he was fearless. Isn't it just a private factory? The factory area is very large, and I heard he is very rich, but so what
Well, in the final analysis, they are still private factories and private business owners.
Huashi Machinery Factory is different. Although it is not as good as Minmetals, it is also a serious local deputy department-level factory with nearly 5,000 employees. Furthermore, Huashi Machinery Factory also produces some basic mining machinery and equipment.
, and Minmetals have a good history of cooperation.
No matter which way you look at it, Luo Lihao must help you with this.
Luo Lihao also knew that Luo Fuqiang found him not only because of the relationship between the two, but also because Directional Machinery was currently seeking help from Minmetals.
Due to historical reasons, the entire living area of Minmetals is too large. Xiangxiang Machinery Factory has planned a three-phase project. Currently, only the first phase of land has been put in place. The subsequent second and third phases of construction must obtain Minmetals' approval.
support.
If Minmetals is unwilling to transfer the land, the future development of Xiangxiang Machinery Factory will definitely be restricted.
It is not difficult to find out this information.
If it weren't for the fact that Minmetals wanted to give face to the city government, it would really have ignored Fangfang Machinery Factory.
Taking these factors into account, Luo Li didn't mind helping Luo Fuqiang.
