This kind of thing is a blank area in terms of policy, and the policy does not explicitly allow this kind of behavior, nor does it clearly stop it.

The first person to eat crabs will find that the taste of crabs is really delicious, and then feast on crab paste with the highest nutritional value. And the last person who eats the crab can probably only pick up the crab leg that others have gnawed and take a sip.

Yu Zhengcheng obviously didn't want to be the first person to eat crabs, after all, eating crabs is also risky, and one will accidentally get caught by crabs.

Yu Zhengcheng is about to retire in two years, and at his age, he no longer pursues anything "pioneering and enterprising, brave in innovation", and it is Yu Zhengcheng's highest wish to be able to spend the last two years peacefully and retire safely.

Therefore, for Zhengcheng, the task assigned by the superior, he will be meticulous to complete, make a posture of standing on the last shift, if there is any opportunity for commendation, Yu Zhengcheng will also show his face, in addition to Yu Zhengcheng will definitely not bear any additional responsibility.

In Zhengcheng's view, the policy is not clear on the consignment sales, since the policy does not explicitly allow, then don't do it, do not seek merit but seek no fault, so as not to take responsibility in the future.

Among the transportation companies, the one who most hopes that Yu Zhengcheng will take responsibility is, of course, the general manager Zhu Shicong.

If Yu Zhengcheng makes any mistakes, there is a chance that he will take a back seat in advance, and when the time comes, Zhu Shicong, the second-in-command of the company, will naturally be promoted to the first-in-command.

If the consignment sales are very successful and can bring profits to the transportation company, then everyone is happy, and Zhu Shicong has no loss.

If it fails to sell on behalf of transportation, especially when encountering policy problems, Zhu Shicong is the biggest beneficiary, and it is possible to become the leader of the transportation company two years in advance.

After this account is calculated, it is a steady profit and no loss, so Zhu Shicong showed strong support for the transportation consignment plan.

Of course, Yu Zhengcheng can also see Zhu Shicong's calculations, so the more Zhu Shicong supports the consignment plan, the more Yu Zhengcheng opposes, and the matter is so frozen.

After learning of this result, Li Weidong was quite helpless, but this kind of thing is not a new thing in state-owned enterprises, if the leaders of state-owned enterprises have a pioneering and enterprising "wolf nature", there will not be a wave of state-owned enterprises going bankrupt later.

However, Li Weidong does not plan to give up the big crab of "shipping consignment", because the profits of shipping consignment sales are too considerable.

Moreover, taking advantage of the advantage of mastering information to engage in consignment sales by transportation is also the last way for state-owned transport enterprises to get rich; if they miss the consignment sales by transportation, even if Li Weidong, a reborn person, becomes secretary, he can only allow the transportation company to gradually decline.

The transportation enterprises under the state-owned system cannot compete with the individual transportation industry, which is the inevitable of economic development, and cannot be solved by one person.

Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said: "Director, since the company's leadership is still arguing about the matter of consignment sales, it is better for us to start a small-scale pilot first. When the results of the pilot come out, it can also be used as a basis for leadership decision-making. If the pilot results are good, try to promote it on a large scale, and if the pilot results are not good, it will not cause much loss to suspend it immediately. ”

"If it's just a small-scale pilot, there is no need to alarm the company's leaders, and our freight department can implement it itself. Zhao Guodong nodded, and then asked, "Do you have a specific plan?"

"I've already thought of a rough plan, and I think we can start with the transportation and consignment of coal. Li Weidong replied.

Zhao Guodong pondered for a few seconds: "Coal is a good choice, this thing is in great demand, and it is easy to store, even if it can't be sold in the end, it can be pulled to our company's briquette factory and made into briquettes for your own use." ”

Li Weidong said: "Director, we have to find an expensive place to sell, I have collected information in this regard, if you want to say that the price is high, it has to be the East Island Port Authority, let's pull the coal to the East Island Port Authority, and sell it to them to make money." ”

The East Island Port Authority is good at the loading, unloading, storage and transit of bulk commodities, and in the future, the largest domestic oil import throughput port and the largest iron ore import throughput port are Dongdao Port. In contrast, the ports in the south are mainly engaged in container trade.

Zhao Guodong is the director of the freight department, and he is naturally well aware of the supply and demand of commodities in various places, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "The East Island Port Authority needs coal, but what they need is good coal, and the coal produced by our Qinghe coal mines is afraid that it will not meet the requirements of the East Island Port Authority." ”

There are also several coal mines in the Qinghe area, but they are all small mines, which have been mined since the 50s, and by the 80s, most of the coal mines in the Qinghe area had been mined. At that time, the annual coal output of the entire Qinghe barely reached 500,000 tons, which basically supplied the local demand of Qinghe.

Moreover, the local coal in Qinghe is not of good quality, with high sulfur content, high smell when burned, and relatively average calorific value.

Li Weidong had already thought of a countermeasure, and he said, "Director, we can pull coal from Yankuang and sell it to the Dongdao Port Authority." The quality of Yankuang's coal is definitely excellent, and the East Island Port Authority will definitely accept it. ”

"It's a good idea, Yankuang's coal is pulled to Dongdao, and the freight is earned, and then the difference is made. This option works. Zhao Guodong nodded in agreement.

"Director, if you think it's feasible, then let's do it, but we have to contact the East Island Port Authority and Yankuang beforehand. There should be no problem with the East Island Port Authority, as long as it is Yankuang's coal, they will definitely collect it, the key is Yankuang, buy coal from Yankuang, you have to find a relationship. Li Weidong said.

Zhao Guodong thought for a while and said: "Over there in Yankuang, a director Huang who is responsible for safe production is my comrade-in-arms, and I can find him to match up and talk to Yankuang about buying coal." ”

Zhao Guodong said, took out a palm-sized small notebook, and found the phone number of Director Yankuang Huang in it.

At that time, there were no mobile phones, let alone mobile phone address books, and many people would carry a small notebook with them to record their phone numbers in order to remember the contact information of their friends.

For people who often run business, this small notebook with a phone number is much more important than an identity document, and the contact business depends on it.

......

Yankuang is not a mine.

In the 80s, the official name of Yankuang was Yanzhou Mining Bureau, which was an administrative agency responsible for the management of the coal industry. However, the Yanzhou Mining Bureau is also a national mega-enterprise specializing in the production of coal. Therefore, Yankuang is not only an administrative unit, but also an enterprise.

The reason for this situation is that Yankuang is large enough that the state has set up a mining bureau specifically for Yankuang as the superior management body of Yankuang. Since the Yanzhou Mining Bureau is dedicated to the management of Yankuang, and it can only manage Yankuang, it is simply a merger of the two, so there is a situation where administrative units and enterprises are mixed.

There were many similar situations at that time, and the country's eight major coal bases at that time used this management model.

Qinghe is not far from Yankuang, only less than 200 kilometers away, but there was no high-speed kilometer at that time, and the time of the morning was there.

At noon, Zhao Guodong and Li Weidong had already arrived at Yankuang, and Zhao Guodong's old comrade-in-arms was directly at the guest house in Yankuang, holding a banquet to entertain Zhao Guodong.

Zhao Guodong's old comrade-in-arms is named Huang Aihua, a dark-skinned middle-aged man, slightly older than Zhao Guodong, he is a director of Yankuang's safety production department, and he is also a middle-level cadre of Yankuang, and he has a little power.

After three rounds of drinking, Huang Aihua asked: "Guodong, you said on the phone that you want to come to me to buy coal, how many cars do you want to want?"

"How many cars are enough! I want to sign a long-term supply agreement with your Yankuang, and I don't want to ask you for help. Zhao Guodong said.

"There has to be a number of long-term supplies, right?" Huang Aihua then asked.

"How can I get 5,000 tons a month! If the situation is good, I will add more in the future. Zhao Guodong replied.

"5,000 tons a month, 60,000 tons of coal a year?" Huang Aihua looked very embarrassed.

"How can you Yankuang produce five or six million tons of coal a year? I want 60,000 tons, not much. Zhao Guodong said with a smile.

In 85 years, Yankuang's relatively large mining areas are the Xinglongzhuang Coal Mine with an annual output of 3 million tons, the Beisu Coal Mine with an annual output of 1 million tons, plus other scattered mines, with an annual output of 5 or 6 million tons.

Later, Baodian Coal Mine, Yangcun Coal Mine and Dongtan Coal Mine were completed and put into operation one after another, and the output of Yankuang increased to more than 10 million tons.

Before the 90s, the domestic coal mine excavation technology was backward, and many coal mines still used manpower to dig coal, so the annual output of 10 million tons was already the top coal mine in China. There are several large coal mines in China, which do not produce hundreds of millions of tons of coal per year.

However, Huang Aihua showed an embarrassed expression, he took a sip of stuffy wine, and then said: "Guodong, if it was before, I would go to the leaders of the bureau to say good things, and 5,000 tons of coal a month will be approved for you." But not now, we really can't get that much coal out of the mine. ”

"You can't get out 5,000 tons of coal a month, aren't you?

Huang Aihua looked conscientious and said: "Guodong, is it possible that I will still lie to you? If you only need a few truckloads of coal, I will think of a way now, and I can get it for you, but it will cost 5,000 tons a month, unless we personally approve it, even those deputy directors will not be able to approve it." ”

Zhao Guodong knew that Huang Aihua would not be untrustworthy to himself, so he asked: "Lao Huang, what is going on? ”

"Then I'll tell you the truth, the extra production capacity of our Yankuang is now taken away by the Wujiang Foreign Trade Department. If other units want to pull coal, it is a few scattered trucks. Huang Aihua replied.

"Wujiang Foreign Trade Department?" Zhao Guodong frowned and said, "Wujiang doesn't have any important ports, and their Foreign Trade Department can still manage your Yankuang?"

"They can't control our Yankuang, but they have foreign exchange. Huang Aihua said this with a depressed expression.

Zhao Guodong quickly understood, and he asked: "You Yankuang need foreign exchange, so you found the Wujiang Foreign Trade Department, and then exchanged coal for foreign exchange from the Wujiang Foreign Trade Department?"

"You guessed it. Huang Aihua nodded and began to introduce: "In the past two years, we Yankuang imported a batch of mining equipment from abroad, which was quite easy to use at the beginning, but in the last two months, it has been out of order, which is the kind of situation where it is repaired and broken, and broken and repaired. ”

"It could be a product design problem, and you can find the manufacturer to deal with it. Zhao Guodong said.

"We looked for it, but the manufacturer said that it was because our coal mining process was not up to standard, and the environment in the mine was too poor, which caused equipment pollution, so it would often break down. Huang Aihua went on to explain:

"If we want to solve this problem, the first way is for us to improve the coal mining process, and they suggested that we should do a general transformation of the coal mine according to the standards of Argentine coal mines. ”

"How is this possible according to Argentine standards? If you sell your Yankuang according to Argentine standards, you won't be able to renovate a few mines. Zhao Guodong said with a smile.

Huang Aihua nodded sympathetically: "It's not, how developed Argentina is, we can't compare." Even if you want to change it, you don't have the capital. This approach will definitely not work. ”

In '85, although Argentina had just lost the Falklands War, its per capita GDP was $3,000, making it an upper-middle-income country. In addition, the domestic resources are abundant, and the basic industries are relatively sound, and they are regarded as representatives of newly industrialized countries.

In comparison, China's per capita GDP is less than 300 US dollars, which is one-tenth of Argentina's, so in the eyes of Chinese, Argentina is a rich developed country.

"Then what's the second method?" Zhao Guodong asked.

"The second way is to upgrade the existing equipment, the manufacturer has prepared a set of upgrade plans for our Yankuang, but if you want to upgrade, you have to spend money, you know, foreigners do not accept RMB, so we need foreign exchange. Huang Aihua replied.

"How much does it cost?" Zhao Guodong immediately asked.

Huang Aihua crossed his fingers and said: "One piece of equipment is 30,000 US dollars, and there are hundreds of equipment that need to be upgraded, which is 3 million US dollars. The Wujiang Foreign Trade Department helped us raise foreign exchange, and in exchange, our 3 million tons of coal production capacity were taken away by the Wujiang Foreign Trade Department. ”

"This Wujiang Foreign Trade Department is also dark enough, even if I borrow some foreign exchange from you, I will take away three million tons of coal mining energy, and you will not pay back this foreign exchange!" Zhao Guodong said very dissatisfied.

"Not really, but we can't do it if we don't say yes. If the equipment is always out of order, we will not be able to produce normally, and the losses will be even greater. It is for this reason that we really can't give you 5,000 tons of coal a month. Huang Aihua said.

Zhao Guodong nodded helplessly: "I understand, come, Lao Huang, I will toast you!"

At this time, Li Weidong, who was next to him, suddenly spoke: "Director Huang, is this batch of equipment you imported from West Germany or RB?"

"How do you know it's RB?" asked Huang Aihua with some surprise.

"Although the machinery and equipment in West Germany and RB are very sophisticated, they are also very pampered, the working environment is not up to standard, and it is normal for them to break down. If the equipment from the Soviet Union or Eastern Europe is not so sophisticated, it is definitely very porcelain, so that the working environment will almost be picky. Li Weidong paused, and then asked, "Can I know what kind of equipment is malfunctioning?"

"It's all some hydraulic equipment, only the mining industry will have, not in this business, I haven't heard of those equipment. Huang Aihua replied perfunctorily.

Huang Aihua obviously felt that Li Weidong, a young man, was just Zhao Guodong's follower, so there was no need to tell him in such detail.

"RB's hydraulic equipment?" Li Weidong thought for a moment and asked, "Director Huang, this equipment manufacturing factory can't be Sakurada Co., Ltd., right?"

Huang Aihua's expression was shocked, and he secretly said in his heart: "How did he know?"
