Xinxing Group and Sinopec are both large state-owned enterprises, and they have always prioritized political performance over profits.

Zhang Chao proposed to pay the completion award in RMB, but of course the two companies did not agree, but the completion award is an additional bonus paid by Dahua, not the labor remuneration stipulated in the contract.

Speaking of which, Xinxing Group chose to reduce the amount by converting the dollar income at a ratio of 1 to 10, which is equivalent to doubling the current foreign exchange price. made Zhang Chao helpless and funny.

When it came to Su Cheng, he didn't feel new at all. The thirst for foreign exchange of state-owned enterprises has long reached the point of perversion. The reason why PetroChina was so rich in the 80s was because after the country implemented the large-scale lump sum system, they were able to exchange the excess oil Chapter 327 foreign workers for foreign exchange, and then use it themselves. As soon as this system came out, the entire oil system became a merit based on oil.

After 10 years of reform and opening up, although the country has extricated itself from the predicament of lack of foreign exchange, it has only just reached the level of foreign exchange and will not be unable to make ends meet. The leader of the country is like a peasant who has just escaped from the famine, how dare he say that "there is enough food, and there will be more later". No one knows when the hard times will come. The Soviets could not be relied upon, US imperialism was a wolf of ambition, and the Japanese devils with a loyal face were not international philanthropists.

The state is still doing its best to collect foreign exchange to ensure the smooth flow of international payments and maintain domestic economic order.

What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. It was not until after 2000 that the country's foreign exchange controls were relaxed, allowing ordinary people and companies to exchange large amounts of foreign currency. Although at this time, China has so many dollars that it has to lend to the United States.

In 1991, the U.S. dollar could still buy more goods and services than the renminbi, which was also a common goal pursued by both state-owned and private enterprises. In this year, if the boss of a private enterprise has the ability to get a batch of foreign exchange from a bank or a certain department, he will almost certainly be able to make a lot of money. This is the sinful part of the primitive accumulation of capital, but Chapter 327 Foreign Workers, from another point of view, is not the backwardness of the backward system. State-owned enterprises can make a report to apply for foreign exchange, so as to make money, while private enterprises cannot make a report, so they find someone who can replace the report......

The ratio of 1 to 10 is slightly higher than the black market price for emerging groups. But the money was for nothing. From the official point of view of state-owned enterprises, $300,000 and $3 million are a lot, although $3 million has an official price of $600,000, but when it is written into the report, 3 million RMB is a compliment, and $300,000 is a system-wide appreciation.

Although Zhang Jianjun is a demobilized cadre from the army, he has no habit of cleanliness on the road of pursuing progress. It is quite difficult for domestic construction companies to earn dollars, and after all, there are only a few people who go abroad to do projects at this time, and most of them work in Eastern European countries, and the foreign exchange they earn cannot be compared with hard currency.

Zhang Chao spent a few days and the companies to make up the agreement, and everyone was happy. Subsequently, the labor enthusiasm of each company has also been greatly improved, and those small contractors are comfortable enough with a full amount of RMB. The construction site, which was already working in shifts, simply worked all day.

In addition, they also constantly sent people to urge BASF. After all, they are all auxiliary companies, and the first phase of the project can only be completed if BASF installs the equipment.

The Haicang Petrochemical Base is in full swing, and the comments outside are also changing three times a day.

Needless to say, the newspapers and periodicals in the Fujian area are full of good words, and if any media publishes content that does not conform to the overall situation, there is no need for Dahua to file a complaint, and its own propaganda department will find trouble with them.

But the media in other provinces, cities and the central government were not so polite.

The $1 million prize, whether it should or shouldn't be, and whether it should be done or not, has caused almost a nationwide discussion.

If it were 20 years from now, such a discussion would be boring. People can spend their money however they want, and can they use media endorsements?

But in 1991 the situation was different. On the one hand, media reporters are known as the uncrowned kings, and they use the method of imitating the Prinzer Prize to make news, needle current affairs, and have a strong desire to make suggestions. On the other hand, while learning from the unbridled media style of the West, the Chinese media is unregulated. In particular, in the face of unofficial problems, the Propaganda Department is too lazy to manage the Ministry of Culture, and the supervision between the media is insignificant.

Not to mention discussing how other people's money is spent, media reporters trying to regulate Chinese behavior are full of reporters.

It's just that discussing what should and shouldn't have been the result of Li Lin's hard work.

Sioux City had to take it in peace, expecting that the comments would soon disappear.

Something like Gezhouba that has caused a national sensation can always be used by the media to vent their excess energy.

November is fast approaching.

The news of the Gezhouba project is indeed overwhelming, however, in the corner of the news, there are inevitably articles discussing rewards and bonuses, and from time to time, reporters will also contact the stock market of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to judge the current amount of funds in Sioux City.

Stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange have risen to around 18 yuan, approaching all-time highs. The 300 million yuan of shares purchased by Sioux City is equivalent to a rise of 150 million out of thin air. This part of the funds is to be made public, which also makes people who have just come into contact with the capital market staggered.

Coupled with the relationship between the Haicang base and Formosa Plastics, Dahua's hot spot lasted for more than half a month, and Su Cheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

During the meeting, Li Lin was also very helpless, saying: "People are too sensitive to money now. I heard that the one-day completion award was 1 million US dollars, and my eyes were red, and some familiar editors told me that the number of submissions they had recently doubled, and the increase was all due to Dahua's reward system, and if they didn't publish a single article, they couldn't say it, so they occasionally published an article......

"This one postes, that one postes, and there are more of them. Yang Ming went on to say that he was responsible for sorting out the media materials every day, and now he was also in great pain.

"Media comments are media comments, and now we are afraid of official intervention. We have contracts with several companies. Not to mention the emerging group, BASF is not easy to serve. If we were asked to revise the completion award, BASF would be the first to be unhappy. Zhong Zhigen added.

"It's really not good, just talk to BASF, change the name, don't call it a completion award, call it a percentage payment for early savings or something. "There were suggestions.

Zhong Zhigen immediately shook his head and said, "That's not good, they will definitely open their mouths." Paying with a percentage is the most likely to cause unexpected ......"

While discussing, the clerk in the chairman's office knocked on the door and came in with the documents, and said: "There are comrades from the Planning Commission, please meet Chairman Su at 10 o'clock on Monday morning." ”

At this time, the interview system of ministries and commissions had not yet been established, but meetings such as tea invitations had often appeared.

When Zhang Chao heard the name of the Planning Commission, his face changed drastically.

Li Lin also said uneasily: "It's because I didn't do my job properly, I'll go back and redo the arrangements now." ”

"It's okay, it's just a conversation, it's not a deterrent. ”

"If they didn't hold us, they wouldn't talk. Zhang Chao was full of danger signals.

Ministerial interviews seem to be very tense for enterprises, and indeed they should be nervous. But it was no less tense for the ministry itself.

China's ministries themselves have no enforcement power, they can formulate policies, they can coordinate departments, and they can supervise local governments, but in the end, they have very limited enforcement powers.

Therefore, if there is no genuine goods in hand, it is often difficult for the ministry to have a face-to-face conversation, so as not to sweep the majesty of the floor.

In fact, since China's real estate market has been in trouble, the reputation of ministry interviews has been widely rotten.

At this time, of course, the ministries and commissions will not allow their reputations to be damaged, especially the extremely powerful Planning Commission.

Sioux City struggled with fate in his mind and began to think about coping strategies.

Cancel the completion award?

The completion award determines the construction progress of the Haicang Petrochemical Base, and the construction accuracy determines the number of factories stationed in Taiwan, which in turn determines the value of the Haicang Base......

In such a cycle, Sioux City would never retreat unless it was a last resort.

"Prepare the papers, don't make big changes just yet, and wait until after the conversation. "Sioux City is no longer afraid of state ministries and commissions. For China today, a foreign oil field may only sound good, but a petrochemical base is very important. When state-owned enterprises are rampant, it is not because of its level, but because of its importance.

Despite this, after Sioux City left the conference hall, he called the executive vice governor in charge of industry to inform him of the incident.

Vice Governor Chang Guoguo, who is about 50 years old, is stepping on the most important node in his life, and of course he will not allow the most important projects in his province to be affected. On the phone, he said in a lofty voice: "Su Dong don't worry, there will definitely be no change in the general direction." Regardless of the east, west, north and south winds, we will not relax our determination to develop. You can build the factory as fast as you can, our province absolutely supports, on the issue of completion awards, I will accompany you to the skin. ”

It was even more comfortable than Sioux City had expected.

With the executive vice governor in company, there are many fewer worries within the Dahua Group. Senior officials have always been politically astute characters, and Chang Guoguo's willingness to accompany him shows that the problem will not be serious.

When I arrived at the place, it was a director who was in charge of the interview.

He didn't talk about the completion reward, but said, "I heard that Dahua hires foreign workers, do you pay in RMB or foreign currency?"

"Foreign currency, of course. ”

"Have you applied to the relevant authorities?"

"Dahua is qualified to deposit foreign currency......

"It's a labor issue, not a foreign exchange issue. The director of the Planning Commission raised his head and said: "Our country has not yet hired a large number of workers for a long time, especially private-to-private, Dahua is not the first case, but the scale and influence are the largest. We came to you to talk about this as well. ”

Sioux City then woke up to the fact that Chinese companies have not yet reached the point where they can hire foreign workers. Domestic labor is cheaper and cheaper, and high-tech talents are also introduced from public to public, with foreign visiting scholars and other types being the majority.

It is estimated that few of China's poor research institutes are willing to pay foreigners' salaries.

Sioux City has just poached a group of foreign workers, and BASF, which is accustomed to the flow of people, has not reacted much, and the country cannot control it in the first place.
