The director of the department was just the beginning of his conversation, and after learning about the situation in detail, his tone changed to relaxed: "We in the Planning Commission welcome this kind of novelty. However, we still need more information on how to regulate the work of foreigners in China, and it is best to observe them on the spot, and after asking them face-to-face, we will formulate corresponding policies, otherwise it will not become a decision to pat the head. ”

He felt funny, laughed twice, and then said: "Su Dong, I want to send a working group to Dahua Industrial to investigate this matter, what do you think?"

How can Su Cheng say no, speaking of which, people are polite enough, not only to explain in person, but also to hear the news. If the Planning Commission had made a phone call and sent a working group to inspect the situation, Dahua Industrial would not have refused.

The so-called etiquette is not strange, Su Cheng had to smile bitterly: "The Planning Commission's inspection is naturally good. I don't know the specific time and number of people, so I'll let someone arrange it. Actually, to find out about our employees, I can ask the company to send documents to the committee. ”

"Don't worry about Su Dong, this is an early understanding.

It's already November, and we're trying to come up with a temporary regulation next year. Our country does not yet have a systematic employment policy for foreigners, and Dahua is ahead of the curve. The director smiled, picked up the phone, and said before pressing the button: "Let me introduce you to our working group, there are only three people, all of whom are young and promising intellectual cadres of the Planning Commission. ”

Then, he called someone in on the phone. Needless to say, people are ready for the full set.

Even if Sioux City didn't care about the ministries, he couldn't completely ignore the people, so he had to wait.

Vice Governor Chang Guoguo asked curiously, "Dahua employs a lot of foreign workers?"

"We reported last month that we poached more than a dozen technicians from BASF, and then recruited some technicians from Germany, the Czech Republic and Hungary, totaling more than 60 people, to do both technical maintenance and training," Su Cheng said. That's what the Director was talking about. ”

Chang Guoguo patted his head: "Oh, I remember." However, if you poach people from BASF, will it affect your equipment installation? If people get angry, it will not be good to make trouble. ”

"Each has its own, BASF is also very big, and they are Kang Tseen, which is the holding consortium. We've just poached people from a few of BASF's hundreds of subsidiaries that maybe don't even know about their ethylene equipment companies and head offices. Besides, it's their fault that billions of dollars of equipment don't come with maintenance workers. It's too dark. ”

Chang Guoguo laughed and asked, "Is the salary of foreign technicians high?"

The wages of foreign workers is a sensitive topic, especially in the presence of the director of the Planning Commission. Su Cheng hesitated and replied, "The workers who poached the corners are five times as many as those of our level." Hungarian and Czech workers are a little cheaper, three to four times as much as they look. "Sioux City naturally compares it to Dahua's salary. Most of the people who poached were workers of grade 5 and 6 or above, and some were engineers. Such workers are also paid very well in Dahua, and there are not a few who receive a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, and foreign workers are equivalent to exchanging this figure into US dollars.

It's just that in terms of worker efficiency, the cost performance of foreign workers is actually not as good as that of Chinese workers, especially when the equipment is different. Otherwise, China will not be able to become the world's factory.

However, foreign mechanics are often able to solve the problem of whether there is or not. Because there is none, BASF's training costs are measured in millions of dollars. 700,000 tons of ethylene equipment is a new thing in China, and only Sinopec has some reserves of 300,000 tons of ethylene skilled workers. Sioux City's part-time training of poached workers can save Dahua a lot of money, hundreds of times their salary.

If you look at the leopard in the tube, you can also know the huge profits of international giants. It can be said that the annual income of BASF exceeds the national treasury income of many countries, and its capital is worth more than even some small countries when it is sold out, and it is truly rich. Whether it is Dahua or other countries, companies are inevitably influenced by them before being promoted to a Big Mac.

Sioux City didn't mind spending money, but he didn't want it to become money that he had to pay BASF. You can pay or not, and you can maximize the influence of this dinosaur-level player.

Chang Guoguo calculated with great interest, and said: "I remember that Dahua's salary starts from 0, and there are more than 1,000 such calculations, and the monthly salary of BASF employees is 10 US dollars?"

Su Cheng said euphemistically: "The ladder salary implemented by Dahua has a relatively large span. ”

"Tiered salary ......" Chang Guoguo repeated it before he understood the meaning. Although the problem of big pot rice is being solved in China, after all, there are many years of influence, at least the gap between the salaries of civil servants and public institutions is not large, and even if there is a huge gap in the salary of employees in the same year, the difference is rarely more than twice the difference, and more differences are reflected in the welfare benefits. For example, with a car and a driver, and a larger area of housing......

But it was the director of the Planning Commission who did his homework and said with a smile: "Dahua's ladder salary is as high as 35,000, isn't it?"

Sioux City honestly said "yes" and immediately explained: "The technicians we invited are also good abroad. In addition to BASF's technicians poached to maintain ethylene plants, technicians in Hungary and the Czech Republic are much cheaper. Moreover, people have come all the way to China, so they can't take less. ”

"A market economy, freedom to come and go. Governor Chang was very open-minded, and at the same time sighed: "Your petrochemical base is really not cheap. ”

"Now there is more and more investment in petrochemical bases. One year later, countries will launch 00,000 tons of ethylene, and 1.2 million tons of ethylene is estimated to be not far away. Su Cheng shook his head as he spoke, and said, "If it weren't for the sharp rise in crude oil prices, the petrochemical industry would be estimated to be three or four times faster." ”

"Crude oil prices don't seem to have risen much. The voice came from behind him, and Su Cheng turned around to see that it was indeed the trio of the Planning Commission. In the center is actually a beauty, curly hair and long skirt, young and intellectual, quite a bit of a female student of the Republic of China.

"Let me introduce you. Xie Weiwei, a graduate student who has returned from studying in the UK, is a rising star in our Planning Commission. The director pointed to the curly-haired beauty who was talking, and made an innocuous joke. This is also the advantage and disadvantage of female civil servants, who are often encouraged and praised by their superiors, but often difficult to receive when competing for positions.

Su Cheng nodded politely, and did not take the initiative to shake hands, after all, they are beautiful women, and it is estimated that they have met men who are expected to shake hands.

The director continued: "Wang Shao, also a British student, like Xie Weiwei, joined the work last year, He Tao is a graduate of the University of Science and Technology of China, and it seems that he is also a graduate of 87, right?"

"Yes, I entered the Planning Commission in '87. Among the three, He Tao looks a little older, and he seems to be the leader of the trio.

If he was able to enter the State Development Planning Commission, he was naturally the best among the students of his class. However, looking at Su Cheng and the director on an equal footing, He Tao also had a strange mood for a while.

Su Cheng greeted the two of them politely.

Xie Weiwei has a somewhat fiery personality, and looked at Su Cheng carefully and said: "I have read all of Su Dong's articles, and your judgment of the international situation is surprisingly accurate, no wonder you can break into a huge family business." ”

"You're welcome. Su Cheng thought to himself, can it be inaccurate? Normal people may not remember the details, but international events are always unforgettable. If it were 0 years ago, many people might not know how to take advantage of international events, but since the existence of financial derivatives, even a hurricane can be used to bet on the price of orange juice and sugar

Xie Weiwei didn't continue to ask, smiled, and said: "I also read the poems written by Su Dong with an artist's mood, and those who don't know still think that you will be a writer." ”

Su Cheng was stunned, and only then did he think that Su Cheng before he crossed was a talented person from the Chinese Department of Peking University. What can a talented man in the 80s do without writing poetry?

A little poem and a girl's college is the university of the 80s. At that time, poets were like university athletes in later generations, characters who could make girls scream, and they could be played by anyone, but there was a difference between good and bad.

Su Cheng didn't know what kind of poems he had written, so he could only smile awkwardly.

This smile made the atmosphere much more relaxed. Xie Weiwei then smiled and said: "Su Dong's latest judgment is that the Soviet Union will disintegrate within the year. It's already November, but Gorbachev is still brokering a new alliance treaty between Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, and if a new alliance treaty can be signed, dissolution may not be inevitable. ”

"What do you think?" said Su Cheng. He did not mean to make a tirade on the question of the USSR. He also wrote articles to further consolidate his knowledge at the top. In smooth words, it is to brush up on the sense of presence.

The Soviet issue is much more sensitive than the Iraqi issue, and the slightest carelessness will hit a mine. Moreover, whether the Soviet Union will solve the problem is an issue of great concern to China, and there are many people who guess the outcome.

This is not because the ending is easy to guess, but because there are too many people who guess. Even Xie Weiwei uses this to chat. It can be said that the difficulty of guessing the solution of the Soviet problem is definitely lower than the jackpot of 500,000, but the reward is the same as the average score.

Su Cheng can brush up on his sense of existence, but also thanks to the enhancement of his voice power. Not everyone can publish a speculative article in the Xinhua News Agency. Xie Weiwei also saw this one.

She originally wanted to deceive Su Cheng, but when he asked back, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said for a while: "I think the alliance treaty will fail in the end, but it's normal to talk about it for a few more months." ”

Sioux City nodded. Such speculation is harmless.

The mood of several other people was a little low.

Wang Shao, who is also a British student, may have attracted Xie Weiwei's attention, and sighed cooperatively: "The Soviet Union has ended, and China's international situation is dangerous again. ”

He Tao said softly: "My classmates in the United States said that their treatment has changed a lot in recent years, and in fact, it has something to do with the Soviet Union. ”

"If the country is strong, international students will not be bullied. Wang Shao really felt something this time.

Su Cheng didn't like the low topic, and said with a smile: "Although the Soviet Union is gone, China has won a rare 20 years, and these 20 years can develop the economy with peace of mind." As long as there is no major chaos in the dozen or so member states of the Soviet Union and no major incidents, this is the best time for China's rise. ”

The director of the Planning Commission was shocked when he heard this, and asked: "What do you say?"

"There is no need to deploy troops on the border, there is no need to think about large-scale or even local wars in the north, and there is no need to invest limited funds in unlimited weapons development and arms production. Isn't this the rarest time for development?" Su Cheng gestured twice and said with a smile: "It's like the first minute of a game, you know that there is no harassment and no invasion, and you don't hurry up to develop the economy......"

Wang Shao said unwillingly: "What if there is really a war?"

"This is the time when the nuclear weapons dividend comes into play. Moreover, we are also in the best period of demographic dividend. 20 years, no waiting. Su Cheng suddenly sighed and said, "This should be the last treasure left to us by the first generation of the Republic." ”

The director and Chang Guoguo were both staunch party members, and their blood boiled when they listened, and they nodded again and again, saying, "This argument is too good." If Su Dong has time, give us a lesson on the international situation. Young people in ministries really need to be educated. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded. The main thing is the age of Sioux City, and if you give a lecture in the ministry, it can really be called unsightly.

Xie Weiwei's head turned quickly, and when everyone was at a loss, she smiled and said, "Director Lu, Su Dong is a busy man. Moreover, our working group needs the support of Su Dong, without him to press us down, we will not be able to play when we leave the capital. ”

Chang Guoguo also smiled and said: "That's right, Su Cheng is the treasure of our province, and it can't be used for you by the Planning Commission." It just so happened that I had a project, and Director Lu hurriedly thought about it. ”

They kind of diverted the lessons.

Su Cheng was about to wipe a cold sweat and prepare to go back to the three provinces, when Director Lu of the Planning Commission shook his head and said: "Western countries occupy the high point of public opinion, and China's younger generation has more blind obedience and less soberness. Sioux City is a little younger, but being young has the advantage of being young, so you should let young people stand up and encourage young people to see the world clearly and do more practical things. Chairman Su, I would like you to make a report to our Planning Commission from the perspective of a young person and as the chairman of the young Dahua Industrial Group. This is a formal invitation. ”

Sioux City was really tempted.

What is the purpose of his publication of the article as an internal reference? Isn't it just to elevate his own status?

It's just the aura of Dahua Industry, it's too weak. Sioux City also doesn't want to get into politics, and in this situation, brushing up on the sense of existence and becoming a national think tank can be said to be a shortcut to the south.

The only thing I didn't expect was that this shortcut would be so short with someone helping, would it really have to be passed?
