Chapter 30: Crimes of Non-War
Hao Shuang looked at it from the side and sighed secretly, the atmosphere of the eighties is still simple!
When Liu Weidong, a deputy director, poured wine for Wang Daojun and the two section chiefs, the three of them didn't seem to have any sincere reactions, but were peaceful. If it was changed to his previous life, even if the two section chiefs of Caifeng Ceramics did not diligently snatch the task of pouring wine from Liu Weidong's hands, they would at least stand up and thank the director in fear when Liu Weidong poured them wine, right?
After Liu Weidong poured wine for Hao Guoqing and Wang Daojun, he reached out to take the wine glass in front of Hao Shuang and prepared to pour him wine.
Hao Shuang didn't say anything here, but Liu Shasha was quick-eyed, snatched the wine glass in front of Hao Shuang, and said to Liu Weidong: "Dad, you just drink with Uncle Hao, don't harm Hao Shuang, okay?"
"Okay, it's all up to you!" Liu Weidong's eyes twitched slightly, shook his head helplessly, put down the wine bottle, picked up the wine glass, and said to Hao Guoqing, Wang Daojun and the two section chiefs: "Guoqing, Lao Wang, let's go first." ”
After two rounds of wine, Liu Weidong also opened the conversation box and talked about the second-hand production line of Caifeng Ceramics Company in West Germany.
The first purpose of introducing this production line is to improve the technical level of ceramic production in Tianbei City.
Although the production line of Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company was produced by Sidenech Company in 1979, Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company has been used for more than nine years, but it is still the most advanced production line in the mainland.
Because at this time, all ceramic factories in the mainland produced washing tanks by manually making blanks, and then transported them to the kiln for firing. If Caifeng Ceramics can successfully introduce this washing tank horizontal micro pressure pouring production line, the process of washing tank billet making can be fully mechanized and automated, so as to become the most advanced washing tank manufacturer in the country.
The second purpose of introducing this production line is to enhance the export capacity of a light system in Tianbei City.
According to the supply contract signed between Caifeng Ceramics Company and Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company, 60% of the second-hand production line is paid in foreign exchange, and the remaining 40% of the payment, Caifeng Ceramics Company will take the product back for export after the production line is officially put into operation, and pay in the form of compensation trade.
At the same time, Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Co., Ltd. also promised that after Caifeng Ceramics Co., Ltd. repaid the equipment payment in the form of compensation trade, the scrubbers produced by this production line will be exported through Tianbei Minmetals Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
According to the design and production capacity of the production line, Caifeng Ceramics Company will earn at least one million US dollars per year, that is to say, Caifeng Ceramics Company only needs more than half a year to earn back the foreign exchange quota of 600,000 US dollars consumed by the introduction of this production line, and then will earn one million US dollars of foreign exchange in the next year, which will greatly improve the ability of Tianbei City to earn foreign exchange and alleviate the shortage of foreign exchange in Tianbei City.
Liu Weidong also did a lot of work on how to determine the price of this second-hand production line, and also went to the Beijing Light Industry Department to consult relevant experts.
According to the international practice of buying second-hand equipment, the price of equipment within 10 years is about 25% to 50% of the original price of the equipment, and the longer the service life, the cheaper the price.
The original purchase price of this production line in 1979 was 7 million marks, which is equivalent to about 3.9 million US dollars. As of last year, Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics officially stopped using this production line, and the service life of this production line is eight years and three months.
In this case, Liu Weidong finally pushed the price of this production line to one million US dollars, that is, 25.6 percent of the original factory price, which can be said to be quite difficult.
Then there is the question of the site visit of this second-hand production line.
Although in October last year, the Taihu side announced that it would open restrictions on people from Taiwan and Lake going to the mainland to visit relatives, thus triggering an upsurge of investment by Taiwan and Lake enterprises in the mainland, it was not so easy for people from the mainland to go to the Taiwan area.
According to the regulations of Taihu, people from the mainland can only be allowed to go to Taihu Lake under the condition of cultural exchanges, and it is limited to the open area of Taipei City.
Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company is located in the Yingge area, which is known as the "Jingdezhen" of Taihu Lake. Even if Caifeng Ceramics Company enters Taihu in the way of cultural personnel, there is no chance to go to Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company to inspect the equipment on site, not to mention that Caifeng Ceramics Company does not dare to take this risk.
In the end, Liu Weidong found reliable ceramic equipment experts in Hong Kong through the Provincial Department of Light Industry, accompanied by relevant personnel of Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company, and went to Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company to conduct on-site inspection and identification of the production line, and figured out the performance and new degree of the production line.
At Liu Weidong's request, Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company also asked Taihu Zhenghong Ceramics Company to provide a series of documents to further determine the function of this production line.
The first is the technical file of this production line, including the production records and maintenance records of this production line over the years.
The second is the factory certificate of this production line.
Third, Zhenghong Ceramics Company's current accounts for the purchase of this production line that year.
At the same time, it is required to take pictures of all the equipment on the production line and these documents that can be photographed.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Liu Weidong also sent a fax to Sidneych Company according to the equipment factory certificate taken back by the expert in Hong Kong, asking whether the performance parameters of this production line are consistent with the equipment documents provided by Zhenghong Ceramics Company.
After the completion of these preliminary work, Liu Weidong formally signed an equipment introduction contract with Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company, and paid a deposit of 15 percent, that is, 150,000 US dollars, to Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company by way of letter of credit.
After the Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company transported all the equipment of this production line to the workshop of Caifeng Ceramics Company and provided a full set of technical files and relevant documents, Caifeng Ceramics Company paid 450,000 yuan for the equipment to Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company. The remaining 40 percent, that is, 400,000 US dollars, will be paid after the installation and commissioning of the production line at the Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company and the formal production of qualified products will be put into production.
After Liu Weidong explained the twists and turns of the process in the middle, Hao Guoqing was already dumbfounded. He had no idea that the process of bringing in a second-hand production line from abroad would be so complicated and cumbersome, and that there were so many things to consider.
It seems that the position of director can indeed train people, Liu Weidong, like him, has a junior high school education, but he can consider such a complex matter without leakage.
Hao Shuang sat on the side and secretly sighed.
Originally, he had always thought in his heart that Caifeng Ceramics Company's second-hand production line in West Germany finally failed, and Liu Weidong, as the main person in charge of presiding over and promoting this project, must be to blame, and even he doubted that Liu Weidong would collude with Tan Jinxuan, the boss of Hong Kong Rixing Ceramic Equipment Company, in the process of introducing this project, and ate kickbacks.
But now listening to Liu Weidong's detailed narration, Hao Shuang feels that Liu Weidong should not have taken any kickbacks in this project, on the contrary, he really wants to make some achievements with the help of this project.
As for saying that he didn't see the details of Pan Jiahao, the technical person in charge of the Hong Kong side, it is also normal. Considering Liu Weidong's junior high school education, everything he did in the process of introducing this production line can almost be said to be the best he can do, how can he be expected to see Pan Jiahao's reality and reality!
As for the final failure of this project, it was completely caused by the special market environment and special historical background at that time, in the old saying, it is "God will kill me, not a crime of war!"
