The first thing Chen Feijin did after receiving the new order was to give the employees bonuses.
The employees were naturally ecstatic.
There were no secrets in the state-owned family compound. The news of the steel factory giving out bonuses quickly spread throughout the family compound.
As the deputy director, Wu Tianqi naturally received a lot of money.
It was rare for him to be magnanimous. He bought a brand-new bicycle and rode it slowly on the road in the family courtyard, greeting everyone he met.
"Lil Tang, I haven't seen you in a long time. How have you been? I just received a thousand yuan bonus and went to buy a new bicycle.”
"Aunt Wang, have you eaten? I'm still the same. I go to and from work every day. Fortunately, the factory is doing well. I just got some bonuses today, so I bought a bicycle.”
"Director Zhang, you just got off work! Yes, I just bought a new bicycle. I'm going to give it to my little brat to ride. Didn't he get into a technical secondary school? I have to buy her a bicycle. It just so happens that the factory has given out bonuses.”
On the other side, Zhang Changpeng responded with a fake smile. When Wu Tianqi walked away, he pursed his lips and spat on the ground.
"What the hell is this? It's just a 1,000 yuan bonus. Why are you showing off? Do you think Chen Feijin is really that kind to give you guys bonuses? He's clearly trying to buy people's hearts!”
Zhang Changpeng cursed in his heart, but his mood became even more depressed. With a gloomy face, he returned to his home.
The success of the steel plant allowed Chen Feijin to successfully take over the car factory.
The only disappointment was that Japan's Toyota refused to sell the engine, even if Chen Feijin was willing to raise the price.
"Arrogant Japanese."
Fortunately, GM sold two production lines and Chen Feijin began the research and development phase of the new car.
The first car that Chen Feijin planned to develop for export was a pickup truck.
His target was the Middle East.
When talking about the Middle East, what was the first thing that came to mind?
Oil? Tycoon? AK47？In fact, the pickup truck had the highest appearance rate!
As long as it was a war film about the Middle East, there would always be a scene: The soldiers carried AKs, RPGs, and Type 63 recoilless cannons as they rode on a pickup truck.
In fact, they were basically the masterpiece of Toyota.
The Toyota pickup truck was a representative of hard power. Because it was cheap and durable, it was very suitable for both sports pursuits and transportation of supplies.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the Middle East, the Toyota Hilux pickup truck was actually the " AK-47 of cars."
However, in this parallel world, the battle that made the Toyota Hilux pickup truck famous did not break out in the 1987 Toyota War. The importance of pickup trucks was not realized by the militants in the Middle East.
Even so, Chen Feijin firmly believed that this war would break out sooner or later.
With the blueprint, the rest was much simpler.
However, before that, Chen Feijin had to buy a batch of high-quality coal.
Good steel uses good ore.
Chen Feijin went to the largest mining company near Rong city and prepared to sign a long-term supply agreement with them.
However, Chen Feijin had never dealt with a coal mine before, so he called his father, the former deputy director of the car factory.
By the way, his father, Chen Daoping, was now the director of the car factory.
However, the person in charge of the coal plant opposite him looked embarrassed.
This made Chen Feijin somewhat puzzled. The output of coal mining companies was at least a thousand tons a year. He wanted more than ten tons of coal a year, which was not a lot.
However, Pang Zhengfei, the general manager of the coal mine, showed a troubled expression and said,"Factory Manager Chen, if it was last year…No, even if you were a few months earlier, I could have approved it for you if you asked me for so much coal. However, we can't do it now. Our mining factory really doesn't have that much production.”
"What's going on? I remember that this isn't difficult for your coal mine, right?”His father, Chen Daoping, was puzzled.
At this point, Pang Zhengfei's expression was as ugly as constipated. He said earnestly,""Daoping, you know my character. I don't usually fool people.”
Chen Daoping knew that Pang Zhengfei would not lie to him, so he asked,""Old Pang, what happened? Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly."
"I'll be honest with you. The extra production capacity of our factory has been taken away by the Foreign Trade Department. "If other units want to pull coal, we can only reluctantly give them a motorcycle. It's just a token. We can't give them more.”Pang Zhengfei replied.
"Foreign Trade Department? What did they need matchmakers for? They don't produce goods." Chen Daoping asked in confusion.
"They can't control us, but they control foreign exchange.”Pang Zhengfei said with a constipated expression.
The knowledgeable Chen Feijin immediately realized a situation and asked,"You need a large amount of foreign exchange…Could it be that some of the imported equipment is broken?”
"Yes, I am." Pang Zhengfei nodded. He was surprised that this young man could guess it so quickly.
Pang Zhengfei explained," Two years ago, we imported a batch of excavation equipment from abroad. It was quite useful at first, but in less than a year, all kinds of faults appeared. It was the kind of situation that could not be repaired no matter how hard we tried. You always have a bad heart."
"It's only been a year. What did the manufacturer say?" Chen Daoping asked.
"Sigh, the manufacturer insisted that it was because the coal mining process was not up to standard and produced too much residue, which damaged the equipment. Why are you so delicate?" Pang Zhengfei became angrier as he spoke.
He continued," The solution they gave us is to improve the excavation process and carry out the overall transformation of the coal mine according to the standards of the Kangaroo Country.”
"How is this possible? According to Aldalia's standards, even if you sell your entire factory, the money might not be enough.”Chen Feijin felt that the Japanese were obviously scaring people.
Pang Zhengfei nodded indignantly." That's right. They're a developed country. They don't lack money. How can we compare with them?" Therefore, we rejected their proposal.。”
"Then what is the second method?" Chen Daoping asked.
"The other plan is to upgrade the existing equipment. The Japanese said that they already have a complete plan. As long as we pay, they will immediately upgrade us. However, they said that they only accept foreign exchange, and it's in Japanese yen or US dollars.”Pang Zhengfei said indignantly.
"How much is it estimated to cost?" Chen Daoping asked curiously.
Pang Zhengfei counted with his fingers and said,"One piece of equipment is 50,000 dollars. There are hundreds of pieces of equipment that need to be upgraded.”
"The Foreign Trade Department promised to help us raise foreign exchange, but the price is that the coal we produce will be taken away by them, saying that they will use it to earn foreign exchange.”
"This foreign trade hall is too shady. It's not like I'm asking for free money to help you exchange some foreign currency. I didn't expect you to ask for so much. You took away most of your coal without leaving any for you.”Chen Daoping said with dissatisfaction.
"That's right. It wasn't easy to buy imported equipment. We can't let them lie down, right? Then all the money we spent before would go down the drain, so we can only grit our teeth and squeeze to see if we can fix it.”Pang Zhengfei said gloomily.
Chen Daoping nodded helplessly.”
Was he going to go home like this?
"Director Pang, the equipment you imported, it can't be from Japan, right?" Chen Feijin suddenly said.”
"How do you know it's Japanese?" Pang Zhengfei was shocked.
