In front of the entrances of the Tianhe Gymnasium, there are two rows of welcoming ladies wearing cheongsams. And these welcome ladies are all carefully selected from major colleges and universities in Yangcheng, young and beautiful, showing the southern style.

Since the statistics of this order fair have exceeded 1,000 guests, it is close to the Canton Fair, and it is impossible to arrange it in the venue of the Canton Fair. So the organizing committee simply provided a gymnasium and recruited a large number of people, including college students, to help.

Bai Shenglin is the vice president of Haixi Provincial Foreign Trade Company, and he is accompanied by some leaders of China Textile and China Trade. As soon as they took out their invitations, they were ushered into the front row by several hostesses, and each of them was presented with a branded leather bag in calfskin.

"It's a good arrangement. The leader of China Textile opened the bag and smiled happily, "Belt, tie, pen, notebook." The price is five hundred, isn't it? Hey, there are at least two or three thousand guests today, and the gifts alone are already in the millions? What kind of skull sea are there, they are really wealthy!"

"Hehe, it's just that the name is too weird, Lao Liu, why is it called Skull Sea?"

"This foreigner doesn't have a lot of special names, who knows what they think?"

"Isn't it a foreigner? Isn't it a Hong Kong company?"

“......”

At this time, although the wages in China have been adjusted several times due to the soaring prices, the salary of ordinary people is only two or three hundred, and the deputy department of the capital like Jing Jian is only more than four hundred, so the gift of this meeting is already equivalent to one or two months' salary of ordinary people. In order to go smoothly, the total budget of the meeting was actually 5 million yuan.

Suddenly, someone took the agenda sheet in the bag and said in surprise: "Look, pay 20% of the deposit, and another 20% after delivery, all in RMB." The final payment was due three months after delivery, and only 10 per cent of it was settled in United States dollars. That's a bit harsh, isn't it?"

Like these large companies at the Chinese or provincial level, they have no shortage of "worthless" renminbi at all. Otherwise, you can sell as much as you want. What they lack is foreign exchange as an international hard currency, so 10,000 dollars is even more important than 1 million yuan.

Bai Shenglin pondered the agenda carefully, and finally said: "Isn't there any other settlement method to choose from? The next 40% can be offset by imported materials or equipment, and a joint venture factory can also be built?"

"Isn't that the same as having no foreign exchange?" The reason why I want to obtain foreign exchange is not only for political performance, but also for a series of "benefits" such as overseas inspections and equipment introduction. However, now that they have been deducted by the Sea of Skulls, these people are not very interested.

You know, the trend of going abroad for a long time, at this time the investigation of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union is not unusual, and there is even a joke: "Hungarian cattle already know the Chinese." However, the inspection quota in Europe and the United States is still hard currency, which cannot be measured by face value, and if it is counted as an exchange of favors, at least one or two Beijing household registrations or enterprises and institutions can be exchanged. In other words, if someone can solve the Beijing household registration or civil service quota now, they should definitely be willing to travel around the world for 80 days, right?

However, those companies with the prefix feel that the cost performance is too low, and the original group of more than a dozen people is now at most two or three people, but a provincial-level company like Bai Shenglin is not picky? Besides, maybe it is those prefixes that are putting smoke bombs. They don't want the head office, so aren't the branches below interested? Even if there is no quota for going abroad, the 10% foreign exchange is also very attractive.

So Bai Shenglin began to secretly observe the left and right, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a few people who were also thoughtful, their eyes intersected, and they all smiled knowingly......

......

Different from those high-ranking foreign trade companies, Tujiao is the director of a printing and dyeing factory in a prefecture-level city in the central region, which belongs to the kind that grandma does not love and uncle, and is also the first batch of state-owned enterprises in trouble.

The problem of state-owned enterprises is quite complex, but mainly because the labor costs are too high. Due to the existence of schools, kindergartens, and even hospitals, residential buildings, etc., each worker spends more than five times his or her salary income. In other words, a worker in his early 200s spends almost more than 1,000 yuan per month. And that's not even counting the expenses of a large number of retirees.

In addition, the waste of equipment is also quite serious. Perhaps there is such an opinion - the equipment of state-owned enterprises is backward and aging. This is actually true and incorrect. Because it was a shortage market at the beginning, even if your equipment was backward, the product would still be marketable, but the production efficiency was lower.

However, in state-owned enterprises, the technical transformation funds that have been approved with great difficulty are not willing to be used for the overhaul of old equipment, and are willing to purchase new equipment and set up new workshops or branches. Why? A large number of seven aunts and eight aunts were able to arrange to work in the factory. If it is only an overhaul of old equipment, how can it break through the original establishment?

And now, the municipal enterprises where Tu Jiao is located, not to mention foreign exchange, even the RMB has become very nervous. Therefore, after obtaining today's invitation through a relationship, Tu Jiao was quite nervous, and he thought to himself: "No matter what, I want to get this order at all costs." ”

......

As Tian Pengfei and others appeared on the rostrum, the gymnasium gradually quieted down, and at this time, there were more than 3,000 guests participating, far exceeding the nearly 1,000 invitations issued.

After the usual leader's speech, Tian Pengfei began to speak: "Leaders and friends, welcome to today's show, and I hope you can develop together with us Skull Sea." ”

In the warm applause, Tian Pengfei continued: "Due to the tight schedule, many friends will participate in the upcoming Canton Fair like us Skull Sea, so I will make a long story short here. First of all, each person has our information in their bag, and in the information, there are the conditions we propose. If you are interested, we are warmly welcome, if you have any doubts......"

......

In the back row of the stadium, Jing Jianzheng accompanied Han Sulan and laughed: "Sister, it's really not polite." Today, the door is not so tight, and you can see that there are many more people who don't have invitations. ”

And Han Sulan smiled and took the gift: "Those people can't get these good things, they all need an invitation to exchange them." Isn't it to see Xiaojian's face? Sister, I understand, you have a relationship in it. ”

"Oh, not really. ”

"Yes, it's nothing, eldest sister, I will never embarrass you. ”
