Chapter 56 Foreign trade is not so complicated
After nearly a year of development, Zhou Yiren's reform research office has made several opinions that are indeed influential and epoch-making significance, and has been decided by the high-level, and the nature of its work has extended from specializing in domestic research to the world.
Therefore, the formalities for ships entering the mainland should be handled by Zhou Yiren. Of course, when you talk about it, you can't say that you want to do business, but you should say that this matter is a major event that benefits the country and the people and speeds up reform and opening up.
Although this will carry a little bit of its own private goods, but the development of maritime trade can indeed speed up China's economic development, which is also the trend of the development of the times, Yang Dongxu just instigated the butterfly wings to make it a little earlier.
"I'm looking for someone to do it on my side. Dongzi glanced at Yang Dongxu and said.
He was only able to be favored by Yang Dongxu to cooperate with him to open a Xiushui clothing company, and the main reason why he could run down by railway transportation was the main reason. If the ship is opened, then the chips on his side will be much smaller.
"Then it won't be long before we'll be able to see a truckload. Yang Dongxu naturally knew why Dongzi was suddenly so active, and he didn't say anything.
Although Hao Yifan has not yet gone back, this matter can already be started. The shipping company is in Hong Kong, and it won't run. So after smoothing out the relationship first, Hao Yifan can go through the procedures directly when he goes back without delay.
"Say hello to me before you go, I've got something for you to bring. Yang Dongxu called Wu Aibing in, and left the room with the tape recorder and a box of tapes.
The first thing I did when I returned to the courtyard was not to listen to all the tapes and see if the songs on my book needed to be crossed out, but to call out Wu Aibing who wanted to leave.
"You go and get a business license, and after a while we'll open a shop to sell these things. Yang Dongxu pointed to the tape recorder and tape and said.
"How much does this thing cost?" Watching Yang Dongxu plug in the tape recorder and start playing songs inside, Wu Aibing felt quite novel.
"There are 150 tape recorders and 3 yuan a cassette tape. Buy a tape recorder and get two cassette tapes free. Yang Dongxu pondered in his heart and gave the retail price. As for the 110 or something I just said in the box, it's pure foolishness.
"This is too expensive, isn't it?" Wu Aibing was stunned.
Although because of the more and more circulation of paper money, in addition to some scarce commodities food stamps and something has become more and more limited, so the price has risen a lot in the past six months, but the retail price of 150 is absolutely sky-high, which is almost a year's worth of money for a dual-income family.
"This thing can only be sold more expensive now, the purchase price is 80, and it is not low, right? ”
"It's still rising?" Although Wu Aibing is not a master who is short of money now, he still feels that this thing is too expensive.
"Where is this, in a few days I will ask Hao Yifan if he can get the kind of tape recorder with a big speaker, the price of that thing starts at least 500. Yang Dongxu suddenly thought of some household appliances that the man needed to buy when he reached the age of marriage.
One of them is erected about half a meter, and there are two large speaker tape recorders next to it, which are definitely on the same level as the TV. I just don't know if this thing is produced in Hong Kong now.
If it is produced and shipped back, the guy who wants to open a disco will have the most important one. Of course, such a disco can only turn up the volume of the tape recorder to the maximum for dancing, and it will take a while to sing.
"Does anyone buy this?" Wu Aibing finally said what he wanted to say the most.
"I don't know until anyone buys it, and I don't know until I sell it. You will be responsible for this point in the future. ”
"Huh?" Wu Aibing was directly stupid.
In fact, when he asked for a tape recorder, Yang Dongxu had the idea of opening a shop that sold electrical appliances, and the person who did this also determined Wu Aibing.
You don't have to run to buy the goods, just take the goods and divide the goods, Wu Aibing doesn't like Dongzi so much on the Xiushui clothing side. So while the contradiction didn't break out, it was better to let Wu Aibing do other things, this shop was for him to practice, and Yang Dongxu had other plans in the future.
In the next few days, Yang Dongxu had another task of listening to songs, and he heard a lot of songs that he had heard, but most of these songs were sung by Zheng Lijun.
There is no way to be a goddess for several generations, as long as it is a person who listens to a song, it is rarer than aliens who have never heard him sing. After listening to it twice, to make sure that he didn't miss it, Yang Dongxu tore off a few pieces of paper from the notebook and burned them, these few song scores have completed their mission.
"Don't mess with the useless ones, come and see this. Zhou Yiren, who came back from work, shouted vigorously when he saw Yang Dongxu holding the drawing board and where he was washing and brushing his paintings.
"It's coming. Yang Dongxu threw away his paintbrush and ran over, there was no way to ask someone to do things, and his attitude must be better, right?
He took a few pieces of paper from Zhou Yiren's hand, and the eye-catching title caught his eye - "On the Development of China's Economic Transportation Industry and the Prospect of Ship Transportation in Modern China".
The manuscript was handwritten, and even the Reform Research Laboratory did not have a printer. So some articles can only be written by hand, Zhou Yiren's words are very good-looking, especially the brush words and fountain pen words, Yang Dongxu has collected a lot, not to sell them for money in the future, but to really like them.
The content of the article focuses on the importance of transportation to economic development, Yang Dongxu only mentioned ships two days ago, but he didn't expect Zhou Yiren to include roads and railways.
To be honest, in China, which does not have much share of foreign trade, there is not the slightest problem in putting the development of roads and railways in front of ship transportation. However, in the long run, ship transportation is definitely the main transportation carrier for foreign trade in the future.
The article has a lot of words, and Yang Dongxu read it for more than an hour to finish it, mainly because some of the small topics in it also made his eyes light up, so the time took a bit long.
"The construction of highways and railways should indeed be accelerated, so that the whole of China can be better connected as a whole, and different regions and regions can better communicate with each other. However, if China wants foreign trade, it must increase its leverage in ship transportation. ”
"Can foreign trade really be carried out now?" Zhou Yiren was a little unconfident.
This is also the common thinking of modern Chinese, when it comes to foreign countries are all kinds of advanced, as if there is no lack of anything, they will want our backward products, or things?
This idea cannot be said to be wrong, because even in terms of heavy industry in later generations, in addition to high-speed rail, there are still some gaps between China's manufacturing and some heavy industry countries in the world.
But such a thing is not absolute, for example, in a few years, China's light industry will be in Russia, and now the Soviet Union will definitely have a huge market.
"Heavy industry and light industry are not good at the moment, but raw materials are definitely possible. For example, for the small country of RB, they lack too many mineral resources, and we can't sell our products, so we can always use raw materials, right?"
"This ......" Zhou Yiren seemed to push open a door in an instant, and there was an indescribable leap in his whole mind.
"Don't always feel that we are useless if foreign countries are developed, anyway, I feel that it is okay to carry out foreign trade with RB. The richest products in the whole of East Asia are China and the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union is very powerful now, and it can't sell out everything of value for export, and the price of raw materials is very high, although it is also exported. So we can put the price a little bit and trade with RB.
Compared to getting high-priced raw materials from the Soviet Union, or transporting them to the RB from other farther places, our country is undoubtedly the best choice for them.
And don't think about storing more foreign exchange, that thing will not be used up after the development of the country, so we take these things for more technology, that is a valuable thing, technology back we can produce some products without importing, I don't know how much foreign exchange can be saved. ”
Thinking about China's foreign exchange reserves before its rebirth, as well as its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds, Yang Dongxu can't help but feel a pain. It's really not the more stuff the better, and you don't necessarily have to buy foreign exchange to buy things now, and it's okay to barter the oldest trading model.
"Do you think there is no need to reserve foreign exchange?" Zhou Yiren looked at Yang Dongxu directly.
Reserve foreign exchange is now a major event on the agenda, and many leaders have begun to emphasize it when they are in meetings. So when Yang Dongxu suddenly heard a different opinion, Zhou Yiren felt that he had grasped something in an instant.
"It's not that you don't need reserves, but you can't blindly reserve them. It's useless to have too much stuff, it's a burden. Yes, with foreign exchange, we can buy things and technology, which is very convenient.
For example, RB wants coal mines, iron ore or something, and we want the technology of American cars.
There is no need to sell the minerals for foreign exchange and then use the foreign currency to buy technology from the Americans. We can ask RB directly. We don't need money for this deal, you buy me the technology to make cars in the United States, and I can give you more at the original price.
There is no foreign exchange in our country, RB does. And it's easier for him to buy technology from the United States, and we can exchange minerals directly with him, which can not only save our own foreign exchange costs, but also reduce links, and more importantly, save money, right?"
"RB would be so stupid, will they agree?" Zhou Yiren felt that another new window was about to open, but he always felt that it was almost meaningful, and his heart was like a cat scratching.
"Why don't you agree, what is called a capitalist country, a capitalist country is a money society, is it good? If there is money to earn, why don't they make it, and RB people are not stupid.
Take the car technology just now, it is not only easier for RB to buy back from the United States, but also cheaper. Then when he sells it to us, it must not be more expensive than the American one, otherwise why should we buy him if we go to buy the United States?
But even if it is cheaper than the Americans, he will definitely make money, otherwise he will not resell it to us, plus we promise more minerals, will he not do things that make money at both ends?
You don't even need to promise more minerals, but if you ask how much the RB buys from the United States for those not very sensitive technologies, why do they buy them from him with more money, and they won't do it?
