Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong looked at the jokers sent by several monkeys, and said, "Director Jiang, have you heard that the patent fee is paid, can it be refunded again?"

"I paid for your stuff, why can't it be refunded?" Jiang Aiguo continued arguably: "You go to a department store to buy something and think it's inappropriate, so you can return it!"

At that time, the department stores were all state-owned, and although the waiters were not good-looking, there was no ambiguity in returning or exchanging goods. General clothes, shoes and socks and other daily necessities, if you buy them inappropriate, you can return them directly.

Li Weidong said: "The patent for this air fryer was sold to you in April, right? It's June, right? It's been more than two months. You go to the department store to buy things, and it will take two months before you use it. Go and return it, try to see if the department store will give you a refund!"

"Why can't you return it in two months? As long as the item is not used, the department store can return it." Jiang Aiguo hummed.

"Have you used the patent for the air fryer?" Li Weidong asked.

"It's useless! I haven't used it at all!" Jiang Aiguo said decisively.

Li Weidong suddenly felt that Jiang Aiguo's open-eyed and nonsense look was cute, and he decided to tease Jiang Aiguo, so he simply stretched out his hand and said, "If that's the case, then bring the patent for the air fryer you bought. , I'll see if it's used!"

"How to get this!" Jiang Aiguo snorted coldly and said, "Patent is something that you can't see or touch, and it's not a real thing!"

"Director Jiang, you also know that patents can't be seen or touched!" Li Weidong smiled, and then said: "Patents are a type of intellectual property. The teacher taught you the knowledge. One day you don't want it, you can still Will you give the knowledge back to the teacher?"

"That's different. We bought your patent to sell the goods to foreign merchants. Now the foreign merchants don't want the goods, and our goods can't be sold. Your patent is useless. Of course we have to return it!" Jiang Patriotism is very slippery.

"I said, Director Jiang, you are really shrewd in your calculations. If you sell things, you will get profit. If you can't sell things, you will always return them to your home. This business is done, and you can make a profit without losing money!"

Li Weidong sneered, and then continued: "It seems that now, thanks to the fact that you were asked to pay the patent fee first, otherwise, you probably wouldn't want to pay a cent for this patent fee!"

"If nothing is sold, why pay royalties?" Jiang Aiguo snorted coldly.

"Don't you have to pay the supplier if you don't sell the item?" Li Weidong smiled and then asked, "Director Jiang, if you all do business this way, it is estimated that the triangle debt is quite serious, right? "

"We're talking about patents,

Stop talking about it! Jiang Aiguo continued; "I think back now, when you asked us to pay the patent fee in advance, you already planned to take our money!" "

Of course, Li Weidong couldn't say that the request to pay the patent fee in advance was to prevent this group of people from defaulting on their debts.

The next second, Li Weidong deliberately put on a look of righteous indignation and said, "Well, let's take a look at this matter and double the old account! At the Canton Fair last April, I started selling air fryers, and it was October. , you all started to imitate air fryers in a hurry, didn't you ask me a word at that time?

I told you, I have the patent for the air fryer, but you were deaf at that time, right? And let me go the legal route. When I really wanted to take the legal route, it was you, too, who ran to the leaders of the ministries and commissions and asked me to contribute the patent of the air fryer to you, right? If the patent does not belong to the Hong Kong Island company, will you obediently pay the patent fee?

Besides, this year, you asked me to reduce the patent fee from 20 dollars to 15 dollars, and I will directly reduce it to 10 dollars for you. Is this sincerity enough? You guys are good, you have to make an inch, and even the 10-dollar patent fee is shouting for a refund, why don't you tell me, you have to prostitute for nothing, this is so straightforward!

I tried my best to get an invention patent, not to mention my intellectual property, why should it be counted as my labor income? I make money from my own labor, and I have to rack my brains every day. It seems that thieves have to guard against you free whoring party. When you come back, you can tell me that free whoring is really good, and continue to be whoring for free in the future! Your conscience is eaten by dogs! "

People in the office look at me, I look at you, and in the end it was the factory director Huo of the 400,000-ton ethylene project who asked, "Director Li, what is a prostitution? Is it your dialect?"

"Free whoring means going to a restaurant without paying for meals, watching a movie without buying a movie ticket, taking a train without buying a train ticket, and buying things without paying a bill!" Li Weidong added in his heart: there is also no subscription to genuine online novels. .

Director Huo nodded: "I understand, it turns out that prostitution is to eat Bawang's meal! It's definitely wrong to eat Bawang's meal. Buying other people's things should really be paid to others!"

"I haven't sold anything yet, so why give money! If you go out to a restaurant, your chopsticks don't move, and you are asked to pay for the meal. Would you like to!" Jiang Aiguo continued to insist.

Just after that, a voice suddenly sounded: "If you order the food yourself, who will pay if you don't pay? Someone's restaurant chef has prepared the food and brought it to you. If you don't eat a single bite, then you pay for it and take it away. !"

Following this voice, an old man with gray hair walked in.

Seeing this person, the people who were sitting in the lounge immediately stood up with respectful expressions.

Jiang Aiguo, Cai Qianjin and others lost their momentum, and instantly turned into docile little sheep. They said with a smile: "Leader, why are you here!"

"I've been listening at the door for a long time!" The gray-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "I said Jiang Aiguo, you've been more and more prosperous in the past two years, but people are becoming more and more unreasonable! Can you do such absurd things as refunding royalties?"

"No, leader, it's not because the product didn't sell..." Jiang Aiguo hurriedly explained.

"Don't think I don't know your little thought! Now that you have encountered difficulties in foreign trade work, you are thinking that the task of exporting foreign exchange this year will not be completed, so you have come here to find a way to make up for it! Isn't it? Even if you can't find a way to make it up, you can still find it later. Explain, right?" The old man snorted coldly.

Jiang Aiguo smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head.

Jiang Aiguo is also a high-level cadre, and he has been engaged in foreign trade for many years. How could he not know what the patent fee is?

He looked like a no-brainer, and he came to Li Weidong to refund the patent fee, all of which were faked. In fact, as the old man said, Jiang Aiguo saw that the task of exporting foreign exchange could not be completed, so he went to Li Weidong to find it!

If you can get back tens of thousands of dollars, that's a good thing; if you can't get it back, it's also an excuse to shirk responsibility when you come back and write a work report.

The leaders asked why the task of earning foreign exchange through exports was not completed this year, and could say one more thing when listing difficulties.

What's more, the matter of coming to Li Weidong for patent fees can also be written directly in the work report, so that at least it can show that he is doing work. Since all the work that should be done has been done in place, it is natural that you don't have to take on too many responsibilities.

It can be said that Jiang Aiguo came to Li Weidong to ask for royalties, but he was not asking for trouble without his brains.

None of the old fritters in these systems can get into this position, and none of them are stupid. When it is time to fight for the interests of the collective, they will try their best to fight for the collective interests; when it is time to fight for their own interests, they will also try their best to fight for their own interests. It's just that the methods they use are often simpler and cruder.

Li Weidong is also an old man. The gray-haired old man mentioned this and immediately understood Jiang Aiguo's intention.

"This Jiang Aiguo, use me to practice dumping the pot!" Li Weidong secretly said in his heart.

The old man said a few words, leaving Jiang Aiguo speechless.

I just heard the old man then reprimanded: "What are you doing here, don't embarrass me, just get out of here!"

Being reprimanded by the old man in person, Jiang Aiguo and others found themselves uncomfortable and had to leave unhappy.

After the old man reprimanded Jiang Aiguo and others, he also turned and left.

Only then did Li Weidong speak to Director Huo next to him: "Director Huo, who is this leader?"

"Read more newspapers at ordinary times!" Director Huo lowered his voice and said the old man's name.

Li Weidong nodded suddenly, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the capital!"

...

Walmart and Li Weidong have no reason to reject the delayed delivery plan proposed by Li Weidong.

Delaying the delivery is better than canceling the order. Even if there is no exact time for the delayed delivery, at least the 50% deposit will not be wasted.

In the next few days, Ma Dexing and others still held meetings in Beijing to try to reduce losses. Industry leaders such as factory director Huo also stayed in Beijing to discuss plans such as domestic substitution of ethylene projects.

Li Weidong, an idler with no pomp, left the capital and returned to Qinghe.

After returning to Qinghe, Li Weidong didn't even go home, so he went to the Foreign Economic and Trade Bureau to report the order.

Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the order of more than 20 million yuan would continue, but the delivery was delayed.

What the foreign trade department wants is the number of foreign exchange earned through exports. For Su Xian, Li Weidong's white earnings of 11 million US dollars are definitely not comparable to the 22 million US dollars earned through exports. Even if there is no profit at 22 million US dollars, it is still more fragrant than making 11 million!

...

In the high-temperature component factory, Guo Yunyuan looked at the newspaper at hand and realized the seriousness of the problem. He anxiously called Su Xian of the Foreign Economic and Trade Bureau.

"Su Bureau, I'm Guo Yunyuan from the High Temperature Component Factory!"

Guo Yunyuan exchanged a few words that were not nutritious, and then asked, "I just read the newspaper, hasn't our city been affected too much?"

"How can we be alone!" Su Xian replied.

"Then the foreign trade orders from Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory have also been affected?" Guo Yunyuan then asked.

"The influence over there is not big! Director Li of the electric furnace factory went to the capital to save the order, but the delivery time was delayed." Su Xian did not hide it.

"A few months of delay?" Guo Yunyuan asked immediately.

"A few months? Haha, if only it were a few months!" Su Xian sighed.

"Will the production of the electric furnace factory continue?" Guo Yunyuan continued to ask.

"The goods can't be shipped, and they are still engaged in production! Even if they are produced, no one wants it!" Su Xian said.

After putting down the phone, Guo Yunyuan sat on the spot blankly, and then slapped himself hard.

Guo Yunyuan realized that the large order of 2.4 million heating rods flew away!

"If I had known this, why would I increase the price? Why would I have to deal with Li Weidong! I'm really smart. If I sell it at the original price, I would have an order in hand. Now it's good, the bamboo basket is empty!"
