Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fiction and Reality

But I didn't want to say this, but it was another feeling in Hao Shuang's heart.

Fifteen hundred dollars?

Are you sure you're not kidding?

If it is replaced by the original Hao Shuang, he may not be able to hear the flaws in Aaron Kwok's words, and he may even be shocked by Pan Jiahao's high salary income like Liu Shasha.

But now Hao Shuang, because of the business in the previous life, has had a lot of dealings with Taiwan-funded ceramic enterprises, and is in the Internet era, it is very convenient to obtain information about Taihu, so it can be said that he knows the situation over there.

At the end of the 80s, a college student in the Taihu area had a starting salary of more than NT$36,700 after graduation, which was equivalent to about NT$1,500 according to the exchange rate of NT$ against the US dollar at that time.

If Pan Jiahao is really the technical leader of Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company, how can he come to the mainland where the material living conditions are still quite difficult compared to the Taihu area at this time for a salary of 1,500 US dollars?

You must know that when businessmen from the Taihu area entered the mainland in 88 to invest and set up enterprises, even low-level Taihu cadres with a high level of Chinese proficiency had to pay a high salary of 15,000 yuan, and only then would those people be willing to come to the mainland from the Taihu area.

Therefore, judging from the salary of 1,500 US dollars given by Hong Kong boss Tan Jinxuan, Pan Jiahao is likely to be an ordinary skilled worker of Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company, at most a low-level technical assistant, and it is impossible to be a technician of Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company.

From this point of view, Hao Shuang also really understands why Pan Jiahao can't solve the problems on the production line of Sidenech Company in the end, an ordinary technical assistant, no matter how familiar he is with this production line, it is impossible to understand the internal operation principle and logic of all the equipment on this production line, and it is reasonable that some difficult problems cannot be solved.

Thinking in his heart, Hao Shuang said curiously: "Uncle Liu, I heard that this West German production line was introduced by you, and there are many twists and turns in the process, can you tell me about it, let me have a long experience?"

The purpose of his coming here this time was to probe Liu Weidong's tone and see how to make the difference between the $400,000 and the $400,000. At this time, I knew that Pan Jiahao, the general person in charge of installation technology in Hong Kong, was just a technical assistant, so I was naturally more curious and wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this production line from Liu Weidong.

This sentence just scratched Liu Weidong's itch.

The introduction of this equipment production line of the West Denech Company has always been Liu Weidong's proudest political achievement, and it is also the basis for him to seek a higher position in the Light Gong Bureau after the merger of the First Light Bureau and the Second Light Bureau.

But the more this is the case, the more reserved Liu Weidong becomes, he smiled and said to Hao Shuang: "Xiao Shuang, what are you in a hurry? This matter can't be finished in three or five minutes, wait for the food to be delivered, let's talk while eating, it's not bad for a while." ”

I saw the waiter carefully holding a bottle of wine in both hands and placing it on the wine table.

Hao Guoqing looked at it fixedly, it turned out to be a bottle of Moutai, and he was immediately not calm.

In recent years, the price of Moutai has skyrocketed. In 1985, the state-approved retail price of 53° Moutai was still 7 yuan per bottle, but last year, the state-approved retail price had risen to 128 yuan per bottle, and this year, that is, in 1988, the state-approved retail price had risen to 140 yuan per bottle.

And Hao Guoqing's monthly salary is just over 120 yuan. This meal is not counting the cost of the dishes, just a bottle of wine will cost him more than a month's salary, even if Liu Weidong pays out of his pocket, it also makes Hao Guoqing feel liver pain and stomach pain.

"Weidong, what are you doing? Our own people, how can we use expensive wine?" Hao Guoqing beckoned the waiter over and said to him, "Withdraw Moutai and replace it with a bottle of Zhang Gong." ”

At this time, although the well-known advertising slogan of "East, West, South, North, South, Good Wine in Zhanggong" has not yet come out, Zhanggong Liquor is the first brand of liquor in Tianzhong Province has been unshakable. Drinking Zhang Gong wine in the Overseas Chinese Hotel is definitely not a drop in points!

"You don't need to change it, just Moutai!" Liu Weidong stretched out his hand to stop the waiter and said to Hao Guoqing, "National Day, you are eating at the Overseas Chinese Hotel for the first time, right?"

Hao Guoqing's old face flushed and nodded.

Although it is said that the Overseas Chinese Hotel in Tianbei City opened two years ago, this is indeed the first time he has eaten at the Overseas Chinese Hotel. The reason is very simple, Xiangyangpo clay mine has no import and export business, and he Hao Guoqing has no overseas relations, and there is no channel to get overseas Chinese remittance coupons or foreign exchange coupons, so naturally he can't step into the threshold of overseas Chinese hotels.

"Hehe," Liu Weidong explained to Hao Guoqing with a smile: "This bottle of Moutai does cost 140 yuan to buy outside, but it only costs 8 yuan to spend in the Overseas Chinese Hotel." ”

"Eight yuan, so cheap?" Hao Guoqing opened his mouth in disbelief.

"I'm going to lie to you. Liu Weidong stretched out his hand and pointed at the waiter and said to him, "You come and tell Mine Chief Hao whether the price of Moutai here is eight yuan a bottle." ”

"Yes, yes, Mine Chief Hao, our Moutai here is indeed eight yuan a bottle. The waiter said, but he secretly laughed in his heart that Hao Weidong, the mine manager, was a special bun.

It is true that the price of Moutai in the Overseas Chinese Hotel is eight yuan per bottle, but a bottle of Moutai, in addition to the eight yuan yuan, must also add 120 overseas Chinese remittance coupons.

According to the exchange price of overseas Chinese remittance coupons on the black market at this time, one overseas Chinese remittance coupon is exchanged for one yuan yuan, and one hundred and twenty overseas Chinese remittance coupons is one hundred and twenty yuan, plus the selling price of eight yuan, it costs about 128 yuan to buy a bottle of Moutai liquor in the Overseas Chinese Hotel, which is still cheaper than the retail price of 140 yuan approved by the state.

What's more, for state-run sugar, tobacco and liquor companies and department stores, even if the price of Moutai is as high as 140 yuan, it is still available in limited quantities, and it is difficult for ordinary people to buy slips without trusting them. However, overseas Chinese hotels do not have this restriction, as long as you have overseas Chinese remittance coupons or foreign exchange coupons, you can buy Moutai liquor.

Hao Guoqing is a straight-hearted, he didn't expect that the waiter would join forces with Liu Weidong to deceive him, and subconsciously thought that the price of Moutai was eight yuan foreign exchange coupons.

The eight-yuan foreign exchange coupon, even if exchanged at the black market price, is only worth 24 yuan. Based on his relationship with Liu Weidong, although a bottle of wine of 24 yuan is still a little expensive, it is not impossible to drink.

Even Hao Guoqing thought a little carefully in his heart: Since the Moutai liquor in the Overseas Chinese Hotel is so cheap, can he also consider exchanging some foreign exchange coupons on the black market, come to the Overseas Chinese Hotel to buy a few bottles of Moutai and put them at home, and when there are any important guests at home, he can arrange a pomp and take out the Moutai wine to entertain?

Seeing that Hao Guoqing no longer objected, Liu Weidong opened the Moutai wine, starting from Hao Guoqing, and poured wine for Hao Guoqing, Wang Daojun and the two section chiefs of Caifeng Ceramics in turn.
