Is that the case?

Comrade Lao Ding was a little confused, after all, he was not in the industrial system, and he had never worked in the industrial system, and he always felt that these things said to Chen Geng seemed to make sense, but was it really that simple?

But soon, he was no longer entangled in this problem, because Chen Gengzheng said to him endlessly: "Brother Ding, this is only the equipment that can be provided in China in the stamping process, such as welding, painting, and final assembly, and there are a lot of equipment that can be provided in China." For example, in ......"

Listening to Chen Geng's endless talk, something began to sprout quietly in Lao Ding's heart: perhaps...... Our domestic industrial base is not as bad as we think?

"So, Lao Ding, you haven't thought about packing up these equipment and selling them out in the name of the production line? Selling a complete set of production lines is much more profitable than selling a machine tool. Chen Geng, who said with a dry mouth, patted Comrade Lao Ding on the shoulder and said to him.

"Uh...... This one...... We are not very familiar with this," Comrade Lao Ding asked Chen Geng, who was both modest and curious, and at the same time a little apprehensive: "Chen Dong...... Dude, do you think we can really do it?"

"Okay, why not?"

"So......" Comrade Lao Ding asked cautiously, "You mean that everything on this production line can be provided in our country?"

"How is it possible?" Chen Geng looked at him with caring eyes: "Do you think high-precision stamping dies can be provided in China?"

"Ahem......"

Comrade Lao Ding was a little embarrassed, although he didn't know what the accuracy of the high-precision stamping die Chen Geng said, but the difference between the accuracy of the domestic production of cars and foreign cars in the appearance of the covering parts can still be seen.

Chen Geng felt that he should still pour a basin of cold water on Comrade Ding's head to dispel some of his unrealistic ideas: "Brother Ding, you must clearly understand that with the current industrial situation in China, it is impossible to rely on your own strength to come up with an automobile production line that has reached the international advanced level.

Take the production line we need as an example, Huaxia can only provide some of the equipment with low technical specifications, I am optimistic that Huaxia can provide 30% to 40% of the equipment of this production line, and they are not so high-tech types, other types of equipment needed on this production line, we can only find a way to outsource. ”

Comrade Lao Ding didn't mean to be angry at all, on the contrary, he looked at Chen Geng with wide eyes and surprise: "Brother, you're not kidding? We can really provide thirty or forty percent of the equipment for this production line?"

"With my understanding of the industrial situation in Huaxia, it should be about the same," Chen Geng nodded: "Or a lot, maybe less, but the difference between the top and bottom should not be big, you should not be too optimistic, if you plan to provide automobile production lines to the international market, maybe the time is not very ripe now......

That is, the current automobile production line is still the stage of manual operation of equipment, spraying, welding, assembly these processes still need to be operated by workers, the Republic is likely to provide itself with such a high proportion of domestic equipment, and so on in a few years, the four major processes of automobile manufacturing began to popularize automation in a large area, and the domestic technology in the machine tool industry has not kept up, this proportion may drop to less than 15%.

Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Ding Haijun waved his hand again and again: "No, no, we didn't think about it that much at all......"

He never thought of exporting automobile production lines to automobile manufacturers in developed countries in the world, and in this era when there is no market for China's industrial products in the world, the matter of exporting automobile production lines to automobile manufacturers in developed countries is really too mysterious, and Comrade Ding's wish is actually not high, and he is satisfied to let domestic enterprises make a sum of money in this project of Fernandez Company.

After a pause, Comrade Lao Ding's old face turned red: "I just want to ask, this ...... This ......"

It seemed that what he was about to say was a bit difficult for him to speak.

Chen Geng's mind turned around, and his heart suddenly became abrupt, and he said with a smile: "You want to ask us about the specific cooperation methods and payment methods, right? Well, how can we solve the problem of the remaining part of the equipment that cannot be provided in China?"

Comrade Lao Ding suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Geng took the initiative to mention this, which is really good, and nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's it, and ...... Well, do you pay in dollars?"

Sure enough, the hunger for foreign exchange in China is indescribable.

Chen Geng nodded happily:

"No problem, as long as the equipment related to this automobile production line is purchased domestically, we can pay in US dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds and other international currencies. ”

"Preferably in dollars. Comrade Lao Ding hurriedly said.

Although the yen and the pound can also be used as foreign exchange, the convenience of the yen and the pound is still inferior to the dollar, and if you can choose the dollar, of course, the dollar is better.

But Chen Geng shook his head: "There may be some yen." ”

"Huh?" Comrade Lao Ding was stunned for a moment, not understanding that Chen Geng, as an American entrepreneur, used US dollars to settle his company's daily capital transactions, and his company did not have any business in Dongying, so where did he get the US dollars? If he exchanged US dollars specifically for this matter, would it be a bit troublesome?

Chen Geng did not explain to Comrade Lao Ding why he would pay in yen, and said: "At the specific implementation level, I hope to find a company to cooperate with in China, who do you think is more suitable?"

Although I don't understand why Chen Geng has to pay in dollars and yen, this is actually not a big deal, anyway, the yen is also used in the world, Comrade Lao Ding's focus is not on this, he thought for a while, and said: "I think one or two can be one." ”

"One, two?" Chen Geng nodded: "It's them." ”

After a pause, Chen Geng continued: "As for this part of the equipment that cannot be provided in China, I will first find it from the United States, and then Dongying." ”

"Dongying?"

........................

Comrade Lao Ding instinctively felt that Chen Geng's preparation to pay part of the purchase cost in yen had something to do with him going to Dongying to find equipment, but he wanted to understand what was the relationship between this, could it be that Chen Geng went to Dongying to buy equipment, and the equipment manufacturer not only did not charge him money, but also gave him money?

If you don't understand, you don't want to, and the top priority is to send back the news that Chen Geng is ready to purchase some production equipment from China.

After receiving the news from Minister Ding Haijun, not to mention the reaction of the domestic high-level, the manufacturers and suppliers of heavy and super-heavy industrial production equipment in the republic of First and Second Heavy were instantly red-eyed: There is an opportunity to earn foreign exchange?!

It's hard to make dollars.

As of today, more than half a year has passed in 1979, as of June 30, that is, in the first half of this year, the country's accumulated foreign exchange reserves are about 320 million US dollars, but the vast majority of the 320 million US dollars of foreign exchange is obtained by exporting iron ore, crude oil, copper ore, copper ingots, cloth and other raw materials and primary light industrial products, machine tools, electrical machinery and other industrial manufactured products in the proportion of U is less than 5%, well, that is, less than 16 million US dollars.

In a huge country, the total export of manufactured goods in six months was less than $16 million.

Among them, the heavy-duty and super-heavy industrial equipment manufacturing groups built by the two republics with the strength of the first and second republics, the equipment export amount in the first half of the year was ......

Well, it's a bit chilling to say, it's less than $1.3 million.

Not to mention that compared with the livestock in the oil and mining systems, it is even worse than the exporters of agricultural products such as China Silk and COFCO.

When the meeting was held in the capital in July, the comrades of the petroleum system, the mining system, and even the agricultural system held their heads high and their faces were full of red light, but the comrades of the industrial system were eager to stuff their heads into the crotch of their trousers. Compared with foreign heavy industrial equipment manufacturers such as Krupp, the total export earnings of less than 1.3 million US dollars are still too embarrassing, so that the leaders of China Silk Corporation jokingly made a bet with the boss of Yizhong: If the total export earnings of your Yizhong can reach 2 million US dollars in the second half of the year, I will send you a box of Moutai!

I don't pay attention to the heavy industry system led by the first and second heavy industries at all.

Therefore, we can completely understand the ecstatic mood of the comrades of the first and second layers when they heard that Chen Geng was preparing to purchase some equipment in the domestic industrial system.

Coming to the United States to have an interview with Chen Geng, this matter is a bit difficult, not to mention how troublesome the procedure is to go abroad, the important thing is that you have not been able to export to earn foreign exchange, and you have no confidence in applying for foreign exchange for overseas inspection.

Fortunately, for the comrades in China, Chen Geng's contact number is not a secret, many people know, and if they don't know, they can also inquire a little, and the comrades of the first heavy can't wait, lest they have a long night and many dreams, and Zhang Yade, the secretary of the head office of the first heavy company, and Liu Benzhang, the general manager, have been in front of the telephone for most of the night, estimating that Chen Geng, who is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, should almost get up, and immediately dialed the phone......

After receiving the call from Zhang Yade and Liu Benzhang, Chen Geng was not surprised at all, he asked with a clear pretense of confusion: "Both, is there something wrong?"

"That's the case," Liu Benzhang, the general manager, didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and asked Chen Geng cautiously: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you are going to purchase some industrial production equipment used in automobile production lines for you in China, such as stamping machines and other things, is it true?"

"Is there such a thing......" Chen Geng nodded.

Hearing the affirmative answer from Chen Geng's mouth, Liu Benzhang's tone suddenly became eager: "That's right, Mr. Chen, our First Heavy Industrial Equipment Corporation is the best and strongest heavy industrial equipment manufacturing enterprise in China, from 10,000-ton hydraulic presses to shearing machines and bending machines...... We can provide most of the heavy industrial equipment, if you are willing to consider us Yizhong, we are willing to provide you with the best quality products and the best service at the lowest price......"

"I understand what you mean," Chen Geng replied with a smile: "I believe in the strength of Yizhong, in this way, after a while, well, about one to two weeks, I will go to Huaxia for a trip, and then we will talk about specific matters, what do you think?"

"Okay, good ......"

I didn't expect Chen Geng to be so easy to speak, Liu Benzhang and Zhang Yade were overjoyed, and sure enough, as rumored, Mr. Chen Geng is really an old friend of the Chinese people. Thinking that since Chen Geng was so easy to speak, Zhang Yade and Liu Benzhang couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts: maybe they could find a way to kick the group of bastards in the second group aside?

But before the two could speak, they heard a woman's voice on the phone......

....................................

PS: Brothers, today Saturday, I went out to play with my wife and children, so there is only one shift today, I have said hello to my brothers before, and I ask my brothers to forgive me, tomorrow will be updated in 2 chapters, and please wait for more than 10 minutes.
