"Hello, Xia Chu. My name is Chen Feijin. I'm the director of Rong city's Dongfanghong steel factory.”Chen Feijin introduced himself generously.
"He's already a factory manager at such a young age?" Xia Kezhong blurted out in shock.
Chen Feijin said frankly,"I invested in the steel plant."”
"I see."
Xia Kezhong looked at the contract and realized that it was all for the purchase of gas tanks and steel pipes, not any crafts or high-tech products.
"Why is the demand for gas tanks so high?" asked Xia Kezhong, puzzled.”
Chen Feijin patiently explained," Most of the buyers are from developing countries. They don't have natural gas pipes. If they want to cook, they can only use gas tanks.”
"I see." Xia Kezhong realized that he had been careless.
As for the remaining fertilizer and white sugar, he did not think much about it. He only thought that it was a normal production demand. Little did he know that the world's war arsenal would soon be filled with more people.
"Factory Manager Chen, you did well. On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics, I thank you for your contribution to foreign trade.”Xia Kezhong said in official language.
"Thank you for your praise, Director Xia. I will definitely work hard to launch better products and contribute to the country's export earnings.”Chen Feijin said tactfully.
Xia Kezhong nodded and picked up the contract. He glanced at the signature and said rather skillfully," Your Dongfanghong Steel Plant, as a state-level, uh…"
Xia Kezhong felt that something was wrong. This company name was definitely not a state-level enterprise, so Xia Kezhong changed his words and said,"As a provincial, uh…"
Xia Kezhong still felt that something was wrong. This company name did not sound like a provincial enterprise.
Before this, Xia Kezhong's mind was filled with the 40 million USD order. He didn't pay attention to the company that signed the order. Anyway, as long as he could sign the order and earn foreign exchange, it didn't matter who signed it.
Now that the order had been signed, Xia Kezhong realized that the name of the company that signed the order was so strange!
Xia Kezhong thought for a long time and asked,""Manager Chen, what level of enterprise is your steel factory?”
Chen Feijin replied,"We were originally under the Dongfanghong Machinery Factory in Rong city. Now that we're independent, we're an authentic prefecture-level enterprise."”
An independent subsidiary factory actually earned more than 40 million US dollars in foreign exchange!
This instantly refreshed Xia Kezhong's worldview. Xia Kezhong had been in the foreign trade department for more than 20 years and was about to become the deputy director, but he had never seen such a situation.
After all, Xia Kezhong was an official in the ministry. He often praised some enterprises that earned foreign exchange through export. However, most of those enterprises were state-level enterprises, and some low-level enterprises were also key enterprises of senior officials.
At the level of a ministry, there were fewer opportunities for direct contact with prefecture-level enterprises.
From another perspective, in China at that time, the ones who had the ability to export were definitely state-level enterprises or key provincial enterprises.
Therefore, Xia Kezhong's mind was filled with lines that praised state-level enterprises and high-ranking enterprises. This was the first time Xia Kezhong praised a prefecture-level enterprise.
Xia Kezhong opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He really didn't know what to say next.
System: You have received Xia Kezhong's Shock Points 999
In the past, Xia Kezhong would always praise state-level enterprises. Those were all high-end enterprises. Xia Kezhong's praise would often first praise the past glory of the enterprise, then praise the current excellence of the enterprise, and then encourage the enterprise to continue to work hard.
However, this method was obviously not suitable for the subsidiary factories that he had contracted out.
What glory could a factory that was sold have in the past? How outstanding could he be now? What was there to work hard for in the future?
Xia Kezhong was stuck like a computer crash, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a while, Xia Kezhong revealed an expression of admiration. Xia Kezhong then said,"So it's a prefecture-level enterprise! A prefecture-level enterprise that could earn more than 40 million dollars in foreign exchange was very impressive!”
These were Xia Kezhong's heartfelt words. It was the first time he had seen a contracted subsidiary factory that could earn more than 40 million dollars in foreign exchange.
Not to mention an unknown subsidiary factory, even if it was a large domestic factory, it would be a fool's dream to get such a large order at the Guangzhou Fair.
Xia Kezhong sighed again. He wanted to continue praising the steel factory, but he realized that he had nothing to say about a factory that was contracted by an individual.
Therefore, Xia Kezhong decided to skip this process. He directly asked,""Factory Manager Chen, your steel factory has earned more than 40 million US dollars for the country's export. However, you won't have any difficulty completing this order of more than 40 million dollars, right?”
"Speaking of difficulties, our factory really has two. One is that we hope the country can solve it.”Chen Feijin said.
"Speak. For enterprises that can bring in foreign exchange, our Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics will provide assistance within our means.”Xia Kezhong said.
"Director Xia, the first difficulty is that I want a tax exemption policy for one year!”Chen Feijin continued,"See if you can help us exempt the corporate income tax!"”
The corporate income tax of up to 55% was always hanging in Chen Feijin's heart. Therefore, Chen Feijin planned to take this opportunity to ask for a tax reduction policy.
"Our factory is about to import a batch of equipment to increase production capacity and quality," said Chen Feijin. At the same time, we also plan to do some research and development. After all, we can't always make low-end products like this for foreign exchange. Our factory's next goal is to enter the auto industry.”
Xia Kezhong was slightly surprised. He did not expect the young man in front of him to have such a big appetite that he wanted to enter the auto industry.
In Xia Kezhong's opinion, the auto industry was not a joke. The water inside was very deep.
Didn't he see that the big state-owned enterprises in the country wanted to find foreign joint ventures to develop cars? The factory manager in front of him actually wanted to do it himself.
Xia Kezhong didn't know that Chen Feijin had used the shock value of this period of time to exchange for two sets of blueprints. One set was the Wuling Hongguang, a legendary car, and the other was the Toyota Hilux pickup truck known as the AK47.
The former was familiar to any Chinese, while the latter was basically the standard for militants in third world countries. In all Hollywood blockbusters, local militants could be seen driving it to make their debut.
Both cars were classics of their generation.
It was these two sets of blueprints that gave Chen Feijin the confidence to enter the auto industry.
The plan was beautiful, but the premise was that he had to have money.
It also had to be foreign exchange. The domestic equipment basically could not meet the requirements, so he had to take precautions in advance.
