Manager Mao never thought that he would one day be able to earn foreign exchange through exports.

The opportunity in front of him made him so excited that he couldn't help himself. Manager Mao's lips trembled, and he reconfirmed: "Mr. Farrell, do you want to buy a production line for oil extractors?"

"It's a production line for a double donkey-head oil extractor. Farrell said, holding out a finger and saying, "$1,000,000." ”

"1 million?" Manager Mao was dizzy, and he had the urge to stick out his tongue and lick his fingers, and raise his chrysanthemum and swing his hips.

He kept thinking in his heart: Haliburton wants to buy the products of our Dalian Heavy Industry, and Haliburton wants to buy the products of our Dalian Heavy Industry......

Manager Mao's spirit became trance-like, he stared at Farrell's blue eyes, as if there was a new world inside, where he was wearing a big red flower on his chest and was receiving ...... from the whole factory No, congratulations to the entire industrial system...... If the official is promoted to the third level, the commendation report is inevitable......

"Manager Mao, Manager Mao!" Du Lijun's call interrupted the "foreign exchange dream".

"What?" Manager Mao wiped the corners of his mouth and came to his senses.

"We want to make sure that there are no non-commercial obstacles for you to sell the double donkey-head oil extractor. For example, policies and so on. Farrell asked seriously.

Manager Mao changed his face and said solemnly: "Mr. Farrell, we have already produced a set of double donkey head production lines, so it will only be better for us to produce another one, you can rest assured." *.

"I'm not asking about production, I'm asking, can you export this production line? Do you need to report to a certain party. ”

"Yes, you need to report it, but don't worry, it will definitely pass. If anyone dares to stand in the way, I will personally kick his house. "What Manager Mao said was vicious.

"But I heard that the double donkey-head oil extractor was designed and invented by a certain gentleman in Shengli Oilfield, how do you solve the patent problem?" In this era, it is quite cumbersome to check patents, especially for patent projects that have just been invented and have not yet entered or have just entered the publicity period, which requires a lot of time to check and query. Farrell is in China and has a low status within the company, so he has to wait for the bureaucratic patent department to check it. So far, he does not know whether the double donkey head oil extractor has applied for a patent and whether it is in the international patent extension, so he heard the news.

Manager Mao only cared about foreign exchange, and said without blinking: "You don't have to worry about this." The deputy director of a machinery factory, what's bullish. If you are willing to pay an extra 100,000 yuan, I will find a way to dismantle the production line of Shengli Oilfield for you. ”

"Not really. ”

Manager Mao was full of regrets.

$100,000 is indeed worth it. Because that's 100,000 US dollars, not 100,000 RMB, not 1 million RMB...... Presumably, Shengli Oilfield Machinery Factory can also understand.

In the 80s, 14 of China's main exports of ** commodities were loss-making, and only three categories of oil, coal and building materials were profitable. And the loss-making items include heavy machinery and light machinery.

In the context of preferring to lose money rather than exchange foreign currency, $100,000 for a manager is no problem.

Farrell smiled and nodded to Doley, said a few more words, and went back to rest.

Leaving Manager Mao, he desperately called Da * Lian, and was ready to save the travel fee for buying appliances in the past, and no longer put it in his eyes.

"We're also the ones who make foreign exchange!"

Manager Mao couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh.

This night, Dalian Heavy Industry did not have a sleeping high-rise. They didn't care what the oil extractor and oil production line had to do with Sioux City, and what they talked about enthusiastically was $1 million.

In 1987, China's foreign exchange reserves were only $2.9 billion, but its trade deficit was $3.8 billion. Dalian Heavy Industry created $1 million in foreign exchange earnings at this time, and its star utility may be higher than that of the double donkey-head oil extractor itself.

A few days passed. Manager Mao raised his neck and raised his chin and appeared at the Shengli Oilfield Machinery Factory.

Little by little, his toes marched like jumping, and when he met the master he knew to greet him, he smiled and said: "People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and our production line is sold to foreign countries." ”

There is always someone who asks, "Where is the foreign country?" ”

Manager Mao would stand in place and explain loudly: "Our production line has been sold to the United States." The buyer was the well-known Haliburton...... Haliburton, you don't know, they have more than 100 branches around the world, and their equipment is sold all over the world...... So why buy our equipment...... Hehe, this is what we do......"

His strength soon spread to Sioux City.

Li Zong, the director of the factory, raised his beard with joy and said: "Da * Lian Heavy Industry is too shameless, this matter, how can it be counted as our Shengli Oilfield Machinery Factory." That double donkey head, after all, you invented it in Sioux City, right?"

Su Cheng couldn't help but smile and shrug his shoulders, acting like he didn't care. He did not expect to receive patent fees from state-owned enterprises.

Li Zongxi continued to be furious and said: "This Manager Mao brought foreign businessmen to our factory to see the production line, and he didn't call our factory department, and directly found the oilfield headquarters. Xiao Su, I think it's better for you to receive it. ”

"Haliburton's people?"

"Yes. Li Zongxi waved his hand and continued to be lazy.

Su Cheng scratched his head and went downstairs indifferently.

Manager Mao was surrounded by a large group of people.

The blonde and blue-eyed Farrell leaned close to the production line, looking at the top for a while, and looking at the bottom for a while, until Su Cheng came to his side, and then smiled: "Su Cheng, meet again." ”

"Mr. Farrell, I'm here to be your guide. "Sioux City looks like an aries.

Manager Mao glanced at him weakly and did not walk up.

Thus, the main guide became Sioux City.

However, it is as if Sioux City is a different person today.

He is like an ignorant Chinese official at the end of the 20th century, who knows everything that foreign businessmen want to ask, and does everything he can to do what foreign businessmen need.

Manager Mao Ruoruo found a common language, and quickly came together to serve the foreign businessman Farrell.

Even when Farrell asks questions like "What is the profit margin?" Sioux City will give a rough estimate.

It was the most enjoyable day Farrell has had since coming to China.

Eventually, he signed his name to the contract.

Seeing that both parties had already collected the contract, Su Cheng mysteriously leaned on Farrell, and said with an innocent look like a little white sheep: "Patent, do you want it?"
