Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 94 Choosing Foreign Trade Companies

  After returning to Qinghe, Li Weidong did not rest. He went home and took the bank's cashier's check. Then he boarded the bus going south to Shanghai without stopping.

  After more than ten hours of bumpy travel, Li Weidong finally arrived in Shanghai.

  As China's financial and trade center city, Shanghai has many specialized foreign trade companies.

These foreign trade companies are also state-owned enterprises, and some are special state-owned enterprises that have certain foreign trade autonomy and foreign exchange autonomy. Such enterprises will set up special foreign trade subsidiaries for their own convenience and secondly through foreign trade business. Make a fortune. For example, petroleum systems, mining systems, aviation systems, maritime systems, and military systems all have their own foreign trade companies.

Another type is a company that specializes in foreign trade. These companies are not large in scale and are not the vests of heavyweight state-owned enterprises, but they have an amazing network of relationships and a strong background. They can do business that others cannot do. Sometimes foreign trade. These foreign trade companies can buy things that the department doesn't buy much.

  For foreign trade companies with this ability, the fathers of the helms are often the kind of big names that are well-known. From another perspective, without a strong background, how could it be possible to engage in foreign trade in China in the 1980s.

  What Li Weidong is looking for is of course the second type of foreign trade company.

  ……

  In front of the Mintai Foreign Trade Company, a large group of people was crowding there, and it was a little chaotic.

  Looking at this scene, Li Weidong couldn't help but think of the scene when he returned to the Red Star Factory that year. At that time, a large group of people gathered around the door of the Red Star Factory’s sales office.

  Li Weidong watched for a while, and found a more talkative elder brother, so he leaned forward, took out two cigarettes, and handed them to the other party. At the same time, he said: "Comrade, let's take a fire."

  The talkative eldest brother saw someone so particular, borrowing the fire to hand over a cigarette, and took the cigarette with a smile, then took out the lighter from his arms and lit Li Weidong himself.

  Li Weidong took a sip of his cigarette and asked, "Comrade, you have surrounded so many people here, what big business are you doing?"

  "This little comrade, you have a foreign accent, right?" the talkative brother asked in Mandarin in Shanghai accent.

   "Yes, Handong is here." Li Weidong nodded.

   "Oh, no wonder you are so tall!" The talkative brother nodded, and then said: "We are all here to sign orders."

   "What order to sign?" Li Weidong asked.

"Of course it’s the import order. This is a foreign trade company. I have imported goods in my hand. After signing the order here, I can go to the dock to pick up the goods. I can pull back a few boxes of imported goods at random. But I make a lot of money. Enough to eat for half a lifetime." The talkative brother said.

  Li Weidong looked at the talkative brother, and then asked: "Comrade, look at your dress, you don’t look like a self-employed person."

  "Who is the self-employed! I have a unit!" The talkative brother said.

   "Are other people like you?" Li Weidong asked.

  The talkative brother nodded: "Basically, there should be no individuals here."

  At this time, Li Weidong has understood that these people are all "officials".

  In the early days of reform and opening up, a large number of "falungers" were born in China. At that time, the country implemented a dual price system. The planned and unplanned prices were different. Tooye could use this to profit from it.

  Later, the domestic crackdown on speculation fell, and the father suffered a major blow in the country, so he turned his attention to foreign countries. The famous canned food exchange aircraft is a classic case of international infringement.

The line of   pao is also divided into public and private. The folklord is called "private descent", and the official daddy is called "official dread". The latter is of course more magical. Officials are often powerful and powerful, and they can obtain more resources and profit from them by finding relationships, approving notes, and going through the back door.

  Li Weidong’s "transportation on behalf of sales" is actually an act of "government failure". The transportation company went to Yankuang and paid 5,000 tons of coal a month.

  If you change to "private pour", even if you are willing to offer the back door, Yankuang will ignore you!

  Of all trade, import and export trade is obviously the most profitable.

  In China in the 1980s, no matter what imported goods can be shipped to the country, they can definitely make money once they are handed down. This kind of profitable thing, how could it be unfavorable!

  This Mintai foreign trade company probably just arrived with a batch of imported goods. The group of people in front of them are holding various approval slips, hoping to get a batch of goods, and then resell them to make money.

  As the talkative elder brother said, he got a few boxes of imported goods that were in short supply, and after such a change of hands, he made enough money for ordinary people to spend a half of their lives.

  There were too many people at the door of Mintai Foreign Trade Company. Everyone was queuing. Li Weidong couldn't get in for a while, so he just stood at the door and waited.

  After a while, the door of a foreign trade company opened, and someone walked out with a frustrated expression.

   "What's in stock this time? Are there refrigerators and TVs?"

  "TV sets are no longer making money. Palm-sized tape recorders are popular now, and they sell for hundreds of them."

   "What tape recorder, that's slow for me! It's in English, do you understand?"

   "What can you be slow, I can still be fast!"

   "Pharaoh, too fast is not a good thing! You have to eat some kidney tonic."

  The unexpected kick of the accelerator made everyone laugh, and even Li Weidong laughed.

  The popular walkman at that time, also known as the walkman in later generations, came to this group of people and became a topic of driving.

  The man who came out of the foreign trade company did not mind the jokes of the people. He said, "It said that there is no renminbi bill."

   "What? No RMB?"

  "How can this be done! Foreign exchange is money, but renminbi is not money?"

   "These few notes in my hand are all renminbi notes, what can I do!"

  Everyone immediately became a mess.

  These bad masters all have slivers in their hands, but there are many kinds of slivers. Many of them take renminbi slivers to pick up the goods, that is, they intend to use the renminbi to buy imported goods.

  Mintai Foreign Trade, a company that does import and export business, basically does not do original foreign trade orders. To put it bluntly, it is a big purchaser who makes a difference. Others give you RMB, buy imported goods from you, and make you make a difference. This is the profit model of foreign trade companies.

  Now Mintai Foreign Trade says that it does not accept renminbi bills, which is the same as Daigou's request for foreign exchange.

  This behavior of foreign trade companies is also normal. In the 1980s, domestic foreign exchange was tight, and the supply of imported products was in short supply. So many lords took the slips to pick up the goods, and it became a seller’s market. It was normal for foreign trade companies not to accept RMB.

  Mintai foreign trade does not accept renminbi slips, the outsiders instantly chilled by two-thirds, and the remaining one-third of them are very thankful that they are not renminbi slips in their hands.

  In a short while, someone came out of the foreign trade company, and everyone immediately surrounded them and asked what they could get this time.

   "There is good news, and there is bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" the man asked.

   "Good news!" someone shouted immediately.

  "The good news is that the goods imported by Mintai Foreign Trade this time include cameras, stereos, record players and walkmans!" the person replied.

  Everyone immediately smiled with joy, and those holding the renminbi bills in their hands were full of frustrated expressions, as if rounding off and losing 100 million.

  Imported cameras, stereos, record players and walkmans, although not as popular as household appliances such as televisions and washing machines, are scarce commodities with high profits.

  Home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines can already be produced in China. Although the quality is not as good as imported ones, they will be usable at once.

  For things like cameras, stereos, and turntables, there is a big gap between domestic and foreign countries.

   Although the Seagull camera is very famous, compared with foreign brands, it is still much worse. The effect of domestic audio is far inferior to foreign audio. As for the most popular walkman among young people, it can only be produced abroad.

  This category of goods is a luxury product in China, and the profit from the upside-down is several times that of traditional home appliances such as TVs and refrigerators.

  However, at this time, someone asked loudly: "What is the bad news?"

  “The bad news is that people don’t want foreign exchange bills, they only need foreign exchange!”

   Among the one-third of those who were originally happy, two-thirds of them changed their expressions from sunny to dark. It was obvious that they were all holding foreign exchange bills, and they had just lost 100 million in four colors and five incomes.

  Foreign exchange coupons are more precious to Chinese people than RMB, but they are unnecessary for foreign trade companies.

  The biggest function of foreign exchange coupons is that you can go to the friendship store to buy imported goods, and foreign trade companies can buy imported goods without going to the friendship store, and the foreign exchange coupons are naturally useless.

  Of the original large group of people, only one-ninth is still eligible to get goods from Mintai Foreign Trade.

  After a while, another person walked out of it.

  "The people inside said that they want to cash in cash, the kind of slips that still take a long time to settle, they don't think it takes too long!"

  The difficulty has increased a lot in an instant. Where can I find a large amount of cash this year!

  After a while, the fourth person came out. The first sentence was:

   "They don't even want rubles!"

  Foreign exchange is also divided into three or six or nine grades. The Russian ruble is obviously not a high-level foreign exchange in the eyes of foreign trade companies.

  In the crowd, a few people’s expressions became quite ugly in an instant. They were people holding ruble currency notes, and several people holding other foreign currencies immediately asked: "Besides the ruble, what foreign exchange do you want?"

   "North Korean Won, Iranian Rial, Indian Rupee, none!" the person replied.

   "Either the mark? The German mark?" someone immediately asked.

  "West Germany's Mark wants it, East Germany's don't!"

   "It's all Marks. Why do you want West Germany instead of East Germany!" The man shouted excitedly, it was obvious that the foreign exchange in his hand was East German Mark.

  After all the conditions were eliminated, few people were eligible to enter the gate of Mintai Foreign Trade Company. The people who had queued up scattered one after another, and the gate that was blocked by the crowd finally got out of the way.

The talkative eldest brother has a lost expression on his face: "Unexpectedly, there are so many rules and regulations. It seems that I have come for nothing today. Everyone is gone! Little comrade, you also hurry up, there is no excitement here. ."

   "You go first!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

   "Why, do you plan to watch it again? It's foreign exchange and spot exchange. If you don't receive this, you won't receive it. I'm afraid that few people here can meet the conditions." The talkative brother continued to persuade.

   "I'm not here to watch the fun!" Li Weidong said, squeezing out the cigarette in his hand, and then said: "I really meet those conditions!"

  Li Weidong finished speaking, facing a look of envy and hatred, walked into the door of the foreign trade company.

  　 The second chapter is delivered, and there will be in the evening. I glanced at the monthly pass before uploading. There are more than 590 monthly passes, and 600 monthly passes are close at hand. Do you still have monthly passes? Let's make a quick shot and rush to 600. Let's continue to add more tomorrow!
