Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Secretary Zhuang washed his hands with a gloomy face, and slapped soap three times. Afterwards, Secretary Zhuang brought Li Weidong into the office. Sun Xinmin looked at Li Weidong suspiciously. Is the young taxi driver in front of him the supplier Gordon said? "Gordon must have encountered a liar!" Sun Xinmin thought to himself. As the forefront of reform and opening up, the Guangdong-Guangzhou region has been impacted by various foreign cultures. There are gold diggers from all over the country, and of course there are liars from all over the country. To say that someone took advantage of the Canton Fair to deceive foreigners, Sun Xinmin was not surprised. "Hey, Li, you're finally here! I've been waiting for a long time!" Gordon extended his arms to Li Weidong to welcome him. Secretary Zhuang introduced: "This is our Director Sun." "Hello, Director Sun, my name is Li Weidong, the director of the Qinghe Garment Factory." Li Weidong introduced himself. "You're so young, and you're still a factory manager? What kind of garment factory is here, I didn't hear it clearly." Sun Xinmin stared at Li Weidong more and more puzzled, and asked, "Are you the supplier that Mr. Gordon said?" Li Weidong nodded. , took out a linen car seat cushion from the big bag he was carrying, and said, "Director Sun, this is the product of our factory, a linen car seat cushion." Sun Xinmin took the linen car seat cushion and touched it with his hand. To the touch, it's cold and soft, and it really doesn't look like a fake or shoddy product. Li Weidong introduced: "This linen car seat cushion is made of linen and wool blended, pure natural material, green and environmental protection, with the advantages of moisture absorption, quick release of moisture, breathable, anti-static, good heat dissipation, etc. It is the most suitable for summer use. Appropriate. In order to manufacture this linen car seat cushion, our factory has invested heavily to introduce a variety of equipment from Japan's Otsuka Precision Instrument Co., Ltd., and we also invited Professor Chu from the Department of Textile Industry of Jinmen University as a product consultant ..." Li Weidong kept bragging, he brought out the imported equipment and Professor Chu, and made the linen car seat as tall as possible. After listening to Li Weidong's introduction, Director Sun's expression softened a little. There are imported equipment and university professors, so there should be no problem as an export product. "How much do you offer foreign guests for this linen car seat cushion?" Sun Xinmin asked. "For a set of three pieces, our price is 29 dollars. If sold separately, the front seat cushion is 8 dollars, and the rear seat is 15 dollars." Li Weidong replied. "Can you sell this set of cushions for $29?" Director Sun looked shocked. "We use better materials, linen and wool, which are more expensive materials in the textile industry,

Our cost is relatively high, and the price is of course more expensive. " Li Weidong changed his voice and whispered: "Besides, we are selling goods, of course, the more expensive we sell, the better!" " "Yes, the more expensive it is, the better!" Director Sun touched the linen car seat on his hand again, and thinking that this thing could sell for 29 dollars, the movement of his hand suddenly became much gentler. Sun Xinmin turned to Gordon again: "Mr. Gordon, this is you. Want to buy a linen car seat cushion? " This time, "YES" finally came out of Gordon's mouth. "Excuse me, Mr. Gordon, how many linen car seat cushions do you plan to buy? "Sun Xinmin then asked. "I plan to purchase 100,000 sets of linen car seat cushions. said Gordon. "One hundred thousand sets!" "Sun Xinmin gasped, and he even wondered if his ears had heard it wrong. A set of 29 dollars, a hundred thousand sets is 2.9 million dollars! However, before Gordon's words were finished, he continued to say: " In addition, I plan to purchase another 100,000 linen car cushions for the front seats separately. " "The front seat is $8 a piece, $80 for 100,000 pieces, plus $2.9 million before, it's $3.7 million in total!" "Sun Xinmin's arithmetic is very good. Beside, Li Weidong whispered: "Director Sun, it is 3,589,000 US dollars. I promised foreign guests before that I would buy more than 100,000 pieces and give them a 3% discount. " "There is still a 3% discount! "Sun Xinmin felt a little pain in the flesh." If a foreigner buys 10,000 or 20,000 sets, wouldn't it affect foreign exchange earnings from exports! "Li Weidong replied in a low voice. "You are right, exporting foreign exchange is the most important thing!" It doesn't matter if you can trick foreigners into buying more things and take advantage of them. Sun Xinmin nodded in agreement. Thinking of earning more than 3.5 million US dollars in foreign exchange, Sun Xinmin instantly turned into a dog-licking look and looked at Gordon with resentment: "Mr. Gordon, we Can I sign up now? ” ...... 3.5 million US dollars, at the Canton Fair in 1987, it is definitely a top big order. If any province can sign an order of 3.5 million US dollars, it can definitely show off at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation More importantly, this is a purchase order from Wal-Mart. At that time, Wal-Mart's annual purchase amount was higher than China's annual export amount. If you can establish a relationship with such a big customer, you may get more rewards in the future. Many orders. Sun Xinmin's face is full of joy after signing the contract. For China's foreign trade in a difficult period, the list of five million is really a booster. Next, Sun Xinmin learned that Gordon still I didn't go to the Canton Fair, so I arranged a special person to accompany Gordon to the Canton Fair site. Li Weidong was left in the office. He just won 3.5 million US dollars in foreign exchange for the country. Li Weidong, a great hero, naturally has to accept it. The leader's commendation.        "Director Li, you have done a good job and were able to win the order of 3.5 million US dollars. On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, I would like to thank you for your contribution to foreign trade work. "Sun Xinmin spoke in Mandarin. "Thank you Director Sun for your praise. I will make persistent efforts to launch better products and earn foreign exchange for the country's exports." Li Weidong said very interestingly. Sun Xinmin nodded, picked up the contract, glanced at the signature, and said quite skillfully: "Your Qinghe area transportation company garment factory, as a national level, uh..." Sun Xinmin felt that Something was wrong. The name of this company is definitely not a national-level enterprise, so Sun Xinmin changed his words and said: "As a provincial-level enterprise, um..." Sun Xinmin still felt that something was wrong. This company name does not sound like a provincial-level enterprise. Here. Before, Sun Xinmin was full of the more than 3.5 million orders, and he didn't pay any attention to the company that signed the order. Anyway, as long as the order was signed and foreign exchange earned, it didn't matter who signed it. Now that the order has been signed, Sun Xinmin realizes that the name of the company that signed the order is so strange! I saw Sun Xinmin ask, "Director Li, what level of enterprise is your garment factory? " Li Weidong replied: "Our Qinghe area transportation company is a large state-owned enterprise at the prefecture level. " "It turned out to be a prefecture-level enterprise!" A prefecture-level enterprise can earn 3.5 million US dollars in foreign exchange through exports, which is quite remarkable! "Sun Xinmin showed an expression of admiration. After all, Sun Xinmin is an official in a ministry and commission, and he usually praises some companies that earn foreign exchange by exporting, but most of those companies are state-level companies, and some low-end ones are also high-level key companies. At the height of ministries and commissions, there were relatively few opportunities for direct contact with prefecture-level enterprises. From another perspective, in China at that time, those capable of exporting must be national-level enterprises or key high-level enterprises. Therefore, in Sun Xinmin's mind, storage It is the first time for Sun Xinmin to praise the state, enterprises and high-ranking enterprises. Sun Xinmin was about to continue his praise, but Li Weidong said: "Although the transportation company is at the prefecture level Enterprise, but our garment factory is only a tertiary industry under the transportation company. " "Three births!" "Sun Xinmin was taken aback again.

The tertiary industry of a prefecture-level enterprise earns 3.5 million US dollars in foreign exchange from exports. This instantly refreshes Sun Xinmin's three views. Sun Xinmin has been in the foreign trade department for more than 20 years, and he is about to become a deputy director. Haven't seen this happen. I saw that Sun Xinmin opened his mouth but didn't speak. He really didn't know what to say next. In the past, Sun Xinmin praised all state-level enterprises, and those were all high-level enterprises. Sun Xinmin's praise speech often praised the company's past glory first, then praised the company's current excellence, and then encouraged the company. make persistent efforts. But this routine does not seem to be suitable for use in tertiary industries. What kind of past glory can a tertiary industry have? How great can it be now? What's worth doing in the future? Sun Xinmin was stuck as if his computer had crashed, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Li Weidong was the first to break the awkward atmosphere. He explained: "Director Sun, our factory is indeed an exhibitor at the Canton Fair, and our exhibits are exactly this linen car seat cushion. It was divided into the daily necessities exhibition area, but before the official start of the Canton Fair, the daily necessities exhibition area was cancelled. We did not have the exhibition area, and the exhibits could not be displayed, so I thought about trying my luck and went directly to foreign companies to sell. I packed it. I took a taxi, put on my clothes, pretended to be a taxi driver, and stayed at the entrance of the White Swan Hotel. As long as foreign businessmen got in the car in the future, I would recommend the linen car seat to them. I was lucky, and it happened that Mr. Gordon got into my car. , he was very interested in the linen car seat cushions produced by our factory, and then I negotiated the order." Li Weidong didn't dare to say that he went to squat on purpose, but only said that he took the initiative to sell in disguise as a taxi driver, and he was very lucky. Well, Gordon is hooked. "Young man, I'm saying that you are not afraid of tigers when you are a new born calf, or that you are stupid and bold! Dare to pretend to be a taxi driver and take the initiative to contact foreign businessmen, if people misunderstand and think you have other plans, Maybe you will be arrested and imprisoned for a few years." Sun Xinmin sighed deeply: "Fortunately, the result is good, signed an order of 3.5 million US dollars. "Don't worry, I'm also forced to do nothing. I'll never do this kind of thing in the future." Li Weidong said. "The tertiary industry of a prefecture-level enterprise earns 3.5 million US dollars in foreign exchange from exports. When I think about it now, it seems like a dream. If I had not witnessed the signing of this contract with my own eyes, I would never believe that such a thing would happen. "Sun Xinmin sighed again. He wanted to continue to praise the garment factory, but found that there is really nothing to say about a tertiary industry enterprise. So Sun Xinmin decided to skip this process, and he asked directly: "Director Li, your garment factory earned 3.5 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange for the country's exports, which is also a great contribution. However, the order of 3.5 million U.S. dollars, You won't have any difficulties in completing it, right?" "Speaking of difficulties, we really have one in our factory. I hope the country can solve it." Li Weidong said. "Let's talk, for companies that can bring foreign exchange, our Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation will provide assistance within our capacity." Sun Xinmin said. "Director Sun, I want a one-year tax exemption policy!" Li Weidong continued, "See if you can help us exempt the corporate income tax!"
