The next morning, Duan Yun drove to the Light Industry Bureau and entered the director's office.

"Sit down. At this time, Ruiyang was sitting at his desk looking at some documents, and after looking up at Duan Yun, he motioned for him to sit down.

"Director Rui, what happened the day before yesterday ......"

"The body is not afraid of shadows, I believe that you are an upright person. To Duan Yun's surprise, Ruiyang didn't seem to be interested in his arrest by the police, and probably already knew the truth, so he continued: "Your factory is now a rookie enterprise in the ministry, and the superiors have great expectations for your unit. ”

"Ah, how is the Canton Fair arranged?" Duan Yun asked.

"Today, our provincial light industry department got a total of 7 booths, basically our province's big foreign exchange earners, the minister specially arranged your factory's automotive transformer products to participate in the machinery and equipment area, this booth is not easy to come by, you are good at English, and you have experience in communicating with foreigners before, but you have to take advantage of this opportunity......" Ruiyang Zhengse said to Duan Yun.

"That's for sure, I will definitely seize this opportunity and try not to disappoint you and the leaders of the department!" Duan Yun hurriedly said.

"In addition, I want to remind you that if your factory does not get orders at the Canton Fair this year, then next year, you may not have the opportunity to participate in the Canton Fair......"

"Why?"

"The last time you went to Beijing, you also had a face-to-face interview with the minister, you should also know that our Ministry of Labor is burdened with a very heavy export task, and our Shanxi Province export foreign exchange has not been ideal, the number of exhibitors is far less than those in the south of the export provinces, this year in addition to your factory, there are Shanxi Fenjiu, Taihang sewing machine, global bicycles, Begonia washing machine these provincial excellent products exhibitors, they were the big foreign exchange earners in our province before, especially the global brand bicycles, last year began to export to Southeast Asian countries, two years of foreign exchange earning nearly 1 million US dollars, is our factory foreign exchange earners......" Ruiyang introduced Duan Yun.

"$1 million is a big foreign exchange earner in the province?" Duan Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Do you feel a little pressure?" Ruiyang asked Duan Yun with a smile.

Ruiyang thought that Duan Yun was frightened by the amount of 1 million US dollars, but in fact, Duan Yun heard a foreign exchange earnings of 1 million US dollars, and his first reaction was that it was pitiful, if an ordinary small factory could export more than 1 million US dollars and how many yuan would be reasonable, but Ruiyang actually regarded the export of only 1 million US dollars as a large foreign exchange earner in the province, which made him sound a little incredible.

But in fact, in the early 80s, there were very few enterprises that could earn 1 million yuan in exports.

At that time, the general situation of the whole country was that all walks of life did not have advanced equipment and technology, and a large amount of foreign exchange was needed to purchase these equipment from abroad.

In 1981, the country's total foreign trade exports amounted to $22 billion, half of which came from agricultural and mineral products, such as coal, oil, copper ore, Wusha rare earths, and so on.

"Can the foreign exchange earned of $1 million in two years be ranked at the top of our Shanxi Province?" Duan Yun asked in disbelief.

"Our light industry system can not be compared with the mechanical heavy industry sector, they only export copper ore, coal, a year is tens of millions of foreign exchange earnings, our country's light industry development has a long way to go, lack of market competitiveness in the international market, so the ministry is also to your rookie enterprises to focus on care, I hope you can develop better and better, improve the competitiveness of our domestic products in the international market. ”

"We also want to contribute to the country. Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Of course, our factory is currently very small, and we still need the provincial bureau and the ministry to provide us with more funds and policy ......."

"Okay, okay! I can see it, you kid is crying poor everywhere now, I have already obtained funds and equipment from the provincial bureau for you, but there are so many light industry enterprises in the province, I can't just take care of your factory, right?" Ruiyang glanced at Duan Yun, and then said: " The last time you went to the ministry, didn't Minister Yang tell you that only by becoming a key export enterprise in the province will the ministry consider key support for your factory, so that other brother units in our province will have nothing to say, and you kid should understand the truth here. ”

"Understood, understood!" Duan Yun took the lead and said.

Duan Yun can see that Director Rui has no oil and water to dig here for the time being, and if he wants better support in terms of policies and capital and equipment, Duan Yun can only rely on export orders to speak.

"There is also the question of the pricing of your products, how much do you plan to sell for a gearbox?" Ruiyang asked.

"I calculated the cost before, and at present, our factory produces such a new Longteng gearbox, and the cost price is about 1,800 yuan, which is about 1,000 US dollars at the current exchange rate. Duan Yun said with a deep groan.

At present, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar in 83 years is about 1.8:1, that is, one 8 yuan can be exchanged for one dollar.

If this is calculated, then the export price of Duanyun Factory's automobile gearbox should be around 1,000 US dollars.

"$1,000 a unit, this price is not low......" Ruiyang frowned when he heard this.

"The main thing is that this new product has not yet been mass-produced, if it can be produced in large quantities, the cost will definitely be flattened and reduced, but the minimum estimate that I take care of me should be about seven or eight hundred dollars, otherwise, our factory will lose money." Duan Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "At present, I don't know much about the ex-factory price of foreign transmission products of the same type, if the price of our products is too high, it will lose the price advantage, so it is difficult to arouse the interest of foreign businessmen." ”

"This is easy to say, I can help you contact the Foreign Trade Department now, they should be able to find out the ex-factory price of similar foreign gearbox products, and after getting the quotation, I will let people send it to your factory, so that you know whether your factory's products have a price advantage." ”

"That's great. ”

"Also, Duan Yun, don't worry, our Ministry of Labor has subsidies and preferential treatment for export foreign exchange products, 1.8:1 is the official price, if it is an export enterprise, we have a separate foreign exchange settlement price, which is calculated according to 3.1, and if the export foreign exchange settlement is completed, it is still not enough for the cost price of your factory's products, and the ministry will also give you subsidies, which will never let your factory lose money. ”

"And the subsidy?" Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

In fact, what Duan Yun didn't know was that the foreign exchange rate in the early 80s was inflated, and the basic exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar in the domestic black market was around 7:1 or even 10:1, so even if the country subsidized more money for enterprises this time, it also hoped to exchange for more dollars.
