Chapter 383 Earning Foreign Exchange for the Country

"Tear down a factory!"

Rao is Yongjia has a calm personality, and after hearing what Feng Xiaochen said, he still stared at him in shock. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

They were sitting in a quiet German restaurant, and in addition to the two of them, Yang Haifan and Li Tao were present. Because he knew that there were some secrets about what Feng Xiaochen was going to say, Lai Yongjia did not bring other subordinates, but let them go to dinner by themselves, and only brought his secretary Li Tao to Feng Xiaochen's banquet.

Because he was begging for someone to do something, and at the same time respecting Lai Yongjia as a senior, Feng Xiaochen specially ordered a few expensive German dishes, so that Lai Yongjia and Li Tao, who had been eating bread for a few days, had a good tooth sacrifice. The level of coming to Yongjia is not low, and when I go on a business trip in China, the reception standards of the brother units are very high. But when he came to Germany, he had to accept the same standard of allowance as other people who went abroad, and only 100 marks a day for food and pocket money.

Because the money is a lump sum system, cadres who are used to poverty are reluctant to use it to satisfy their appetites, so they can just buy a few breads to cope with it, and it is more cost-effective to save money to buy some foreign goods or bring them back to subsidize their families. This continued until the '90s, and it wasn't news that Chinese officials were traveling with a travel bag of instant noodles on a business trip. As for the new century, Chinese continue the tradition of bringing instant noodles abroad, but the main purpose is no longer to save money, but because they are not used to eating foreign meals, which is another matter.

When Feng Xiaochen ordered, Li Tao watched from the side, drooling and feeling distressed. A smoked herring, 180 marks, is worth two months' salary. Although he himself has always felt that it is a pity not to be able to taste the local food when he comes to Germany, he is reluctant to let him spend so much money to order a dish.

He kept glancing at Lai Yongjia with his eyes, wanting to remind Lai Yongjia to stop Feng Xiaochen and not to spend this kind of unjust money, who would have thought that Lai Yongjia didn't seem to see it, just smiled slightly, and watched Feng Xiaochen pretend to be forked.

For Feng Xiaochen, Lai Yongjia has always felt a little incomprehensible. Feng Xiaochen is young, but he is very sophisticated. In the case of Xujiawan, his handling methods seemed a little reckless, but in fact, they were interlocking, and they made the demolition households in Xujiawan and some other places frightened, and they no longer dared to embarrass the ethylene project. After that, Feng Xiaochen did not ignore the people, but mainly made peace with the Lecheng city government, and also helped Lecheng fight for the TV project, clearing the mustard between the Lecheng government and the ethylene project.

After half a year, Lecheng City really got the approval of the State Economic Commission and got the Shanghai TV project. A cadre of officials in Lecheng celebrated, and privately said that Director Feng of the Heavy Equipment Office was really good. After knowing some inside information, Lai Yongjia couldn't help but smile secretly, the country will soon let go of local investment autonomy, Feng Xiaochen's move is just a short favor. After laughing, Lai Yongjia's curiosity about Feng Xiaochen deepened, and he was able to foresee the direction of national policies half a year ago and use them skillfully, what a magical ability.

This time I met Feng Xiaochen in Germany, and when I heard that Feng Xiaochen's family business was going to build a construction machinery company in China, I came to Yongjia and sighed. The support of the business community from Germany is a very strong background for a young cadre of a state agency. At this time, it was still the early stage of reform and opening up, and the business of cadres' family members was not a stain, and it was even considered a sign of open-mindedness. At the very least, you can understand the market better than other colleagues and have more business sense, which is the most lacking knowledge in the current cadre team.

Feng Xiaochen's behavior of spending a lot of money to order food, in the eyes of Lai Yongjia, naturally has other interpretations. In addition to the other party's respect for himself, he also saw Feng Xiaochen's economic strength, this is a young man who takes thousands of marks and does not pay money, so the career he plans is not the content of ordinary people's hearts.

Sure enough, after saying some gossip, Feng Xiaochen got to the point, and what he said with one mouth knocked down Lai Yongjia and Li Tao.

"How can it cost tens of millions of dollars to buy a German factory and hundreds of pieces of equipment?"

Li Tao guessed sneeringly. He looked down at the smoked herring that the waiter had just served, and no longer had any worries about the dish being too expensive. Can a person who can do a business of tens of millions of dollars still not be able to afford a serving of herring?

"It's less than 10 million, a little less than that. Feng Xiaochen calmly corrected Li Tao's guess. He didn't tell the truth, if Lai Yongjia promised to help them do the dismantling work of the factory, those equipment could be seen, the price of 1.8 million was really cheap, and he didn't want Lai Yongjia to have any ideas.

Lai Yongjia was really frightened by Feng Xiaochen, and felt that if it was less than 10 million, it should be seven or eight million, or at least more than five million. No matter which number it is, it can be called a big deal, and the most important thing is that it directly bought the German factory, and it had to be dismantled and shipped back to China, such a thing, no one has done it in the past.

"You want our workers to help you transport this equipment?"

Lai Yongjia guessed what Feng Xiaochen meant and asked him.

Feng Xiaochen nodded and said, "Yes." As you know, the wages of German workers are too high for us to afford. In the past few days, Xiao Yang and I have been thinking about how to bring a loading and unloading team from China to Germany to complete these tasks, but it is too troublesome to apply for passports and visas. Since you're going to send someone to Germany to transport the equipment, can you take care of our business together?"

"How much labor do you estimate you'll need?" asked Lai Yongjia.

"20 skilled workers, about a month and a half. Yang Haifan replied. He had already visited the Hagen plant to assess the difficulty of dismantling the steel structures. According to his calculations, it would take about 30 man-months of work, and of course, in this case, it will be calculated on the basis of 26 days of work per month, and the working hours will be more than 10 hours per day. If the German system of resting and resting two days a week and working six hours a day were to be followed, then I am afraid that 40 people would really need to work for three months.

Lai Yongjia frowned when he heard this calculation, and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Xiao Feng, it stands to reason that this is your business, and it involves the introduction of equipment for our country, and I should help no matter what." However, it is not easy to explain that I want my workers to stay in Germany for an extra month and a half. After all, they are employees of the company, and it is a bit against the principle to let them do private work for you. ”

"It's not a private job. Feng Xiaochen said, "I paid for your company's porters to help us do things, which is equivalent to your loading and unloading team taking an order from us, why not?"

"You're saying you can still pay?" asked Lai Yongjia.

"I sell cakes, when will I not be able to tell me the money?" Feng Xiaochen felt very tired, and this old man thought that I wanted their workers to help for nothing, no wonder he showed such a tangled face.

Lai Yongjia said embarrassedly: "I misunderstood, I thought you wanted us to help you." ”

"It's meant to help. Feng Xiaochen said, "But you have to give money to help, don't you?"

"If you can pay what we charge, that's not a big problem...... By the way, Xiao Feng, if you pay, do you pay RMB or foreign exchange?" came to Yongjia and asked again.

Feng Xiaochen said: "RMB can also be used, and foreign exchange can also be used. We were going to hire German workers to do the work, so we also prepared some foreign exchange. If we think it's better for us to pay foreign exchange, then we can do it. ”

"That's great!" said Lai Yongjiaxi, "if you pay foreign currency, then I can report to the company that after our loading and unloading team came to Germany, at the request of the German enterprises, it provided some services and earned foreign exchange for the country." In this way, not only is it not a mistake, but it can even be a achievement. ”

"Then what is your charging standard?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Li Tao replied on behalf of Lai Yongjia: "Director Feng, we have not undertaken foreign loading and unloading tasks, but I know that the Mingzhou Provincial Construction Company has sent loading and unloading teams abroad, and the general situation is: the accommodation, transportation, medical care, uniforming, insurance and taxes in the country where the dispatched personnel are all responsible for the other party. In addition, according to the skill level of the dispatched personnel, it is $300 per month for general workers, $450 for skilled technicians, and $1,000 for engineers. In addition, if the dispatched personnel are injured on the job abroad, the other party will also have to bear the medical expenses and corresponding compensation. ”

"$450 per person per month, that's not a low standard. Yang Haifan muttered in a low voice. At the current exchange rate, 450 US dollars is equivalent to 1,000 yuan, which is much higher than the 200 yuan that Yang Haifan originally planned.

"The cost is not high and we are perfectly acceptable. Feng Xiaochen didn't even stumble, so he readily agreed. Without waiting for Yongjia to say anything, he added with a smile: "However, we won't bear the transportation expenses, right? Because you also have to pay for the air tickets of these workers, whether they help us or not, haven't they all come to Germany?"

Hearing Feng Xiaochen say this, Yang Haifan came to his senses. A round-trip ticket from China to Germany is at least $1,000, even at a discounted fare from a foreign airline. The workers who came to Yongjia were sent by the company, and of course the air ticket money was borne by the Lecheng ethylene company, and there was no need for Chenyu company to pay for it. A person saves 1000 US dollars, even if the labor cost is calculated by 2 months, it is only 900 US dollars, no matter how it is calculated, Chen Yu company is a big advantage.
