The three-day Canton Fair has been successfully concluded. Enterprises from all provinces participated in the exhibition, and many achievements were made at the meeting.

And Zhao Yuemin's Jiangbei Oilfield Machinery Repair Plant won an order of 60 million US dollars in one fell swoop and became the champion at the conference.

After the end of the Canton Fair, the exhibitors from other provinces checked out of the hotel one after another and left Guangzhou by train or plane. However, Zhao Yuemin received an invitation from the Shenchuan Municipal Party Committee to hold a symposium in the municipal government.

Director Liu of the Jiangbei Provincial Department of Foreign Trade was also happy to hear the news. He personally called Su Guoliang to report the good news, saying that Zhao Yuemin had won a huge order, and he also attracted the attention of the Shenchuan Municipal Party Committee and asked him to hold an experience forum.

After Su Guoliang learned the news, he immediately called Zhao Yuemin and repeatedly warned him not to be complacent because of this, and to pay attention to his attitude when he saw the leaders of the municipal party committee.

Zhao Yuemin hummed and dealt absentmindedly. He knew that because of his relationship with Su Hong, Su Guoliang's attitude towards him had changed a lot, with less politeness from his superiors and subordinates, and more care from his elders for his juniors.

The huge order signed by the Canton Fair and the Iraqi National Oil Company Limited also made Zhao Yuemin feel very excited. These days, these sales staff under him have been arranging exhibitions day and night, answering many questions from foreign businessmen, and they can't eat well or sleep well.

In particular, his brother Hu Dong gave up his business in Jiangbei Province and accompanied him to Guangzhou, where he slept in a hotel for three days.

Zhao Yuemin was a little reluctant and decided to take Hu Dong to participate in the symposium organized by the Shenchuan Municipal Party Committee. He had a hunch in his heart that there was a hidden opportunity at this symposium.

In the flower bed in front of the Fukagawa City Hall, the triangular plum blossoms are in full bloom.

This time, Secretary Li of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee waited in front of the government building with an apologetic face.

"Yo, Secretary Li, why did you wait here?" Director Liu immediately greeted warmly. He has been running the Canton Fair for more than ten years, and he has also had a lot of contact with the Shenchuan Municipal Party Committee. The prime minister's concierge is also a seven-rank official, and although Secretary Zhang's secretary is only a deputy department, he is a very key figure.

"Director Liu, hello, hello." Secretary Li looked at Zhao Yuemin and said embarrassedly, "I'm waiting for Director Zhao." ”

"Oh?" Director Liu looked like he was looking at a diorama.

"Director Zhao, my attitude before was really ......," Secretary Li sincerely apologized.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Everyone is for work......" Zhao Yuemin held Secretary Li's hand and shook it vigorously.

The conference room of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee has already been neatly arranged.

Zhao Yuemin and others entered the venue and saw that more than 100 people were sitting together at the Shenchuan City Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Taxation Bureau, and Customs.

With so many leaders there, Zhao Yuemin poked his head and looked for his position in the back row.

"Looking for what? You are here. Secretary Li smiled and pointed to the first row.

"I'm in the first row? It's not appropriate. Zhao Yuemin scratched his scalp and said.

"This is Secretary Zhang's instruction, you and Director Liu are both sitting in the first row."

After all the members were seated, Secretary Zhang walked into the venue and made a speech into the microphone:

"Comrades, I have just returned from the Canton Fair, and I feel a lot of emotion in my heart. Since the establishment of the district, as the vanguard of the country's reform and opening up, we have been criticized by many people. ”

Secretary Zhang pointed to the slogan on the wall and said: "This is the slogan, time is money, efficiency is life." When I first suggested it, many localities talked to me with the leaders of the central government. Say you have forgotten the revolutionary traditions? Bringing capitalism up? I talk to three leaders and drink six cups of coffee every day. It's just that when I first fell in love, I didn't drink so much coffee with my partner in a day......"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"It can be said that the development of our special zone is difficult step by step. Fortunately, everyone survived. Since 1978, the total industrial output value of the county has only been 60 million yuan, and we have come to this day step by step. Today, at this meeting, most of the comrades are from our city of Fukagawa. Everyone's eyes were sharp, and they saw two comrades from other provinces sitting in the first row. I was adamant about bringing them here because they saved our state assets. ”

Secretary Zhang concisely recounted the incident in which Toure, a Nigerian, defrauded the orders of the Sino-Japanese joint venture.

"This matter was personally brought to me by Comrade Zhao Yuemin. Why should I praise Comrade Zhao Yuemin......" Secretary Zhang smiled, "It's none of my business, hang high." Comrade Zhao Yuemin came to me desperately for the benefit of our Shenchuan enterprise, and almost caused a misunderstanding. ”

"I propose that everyone applaud Zhao Yuemin and the comrades in Jiangbei Province and thank you."

The venue burst into warm applause.

Director Liu whispered to Zhao Yuemin with a spring breeze on his face: "Yuemin, I'm stained with your light. ”

Being invited by the Shenchuan Municipal Party Committee to hold a symposium, so many city leaders are applauding themselves, Zhao Yuemin thought that this trip was indeed worth it.

"Okay, Comrade Zhao Yuemin." Secretary Zhang held the microphone and said, "You saved the assets of our Shenchuan enterprise, you can tell me, what ideas and requirements do you have, mention ......" He smiled and said, "Don't be burdened, this is the Special Economic Zone, it is Shenchuan, you have to speak boldly." ”

The microphone was handed to Zhao Yuemin, he thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Zhang, I think, since the Shenchuan Special Economic Zone is a test field. I also have an idea. In the past few years, township enterprises have flourished, but most of them do not have formal licenses, and all of them are affiliated with communes or collective enterprises, relying on red hats. I want to ......"

"What do you want to say?" Secretary Zhang asked.

"I want to ...... Can the Shenchuan Municipal Government obtain a legal private business license for us? Zhao Yuemin plucked up his courage and said.

As soon as Zhao Yuemin finished speaking, the audience was immediately in an uproar.

Over the past 78 years, the central government has gradually attracted foreign investment and encouraged joint ventures, but it has remained silent about the private economy. Throughout the 80s, society had not yet extricated itself from the ideological predicament, and the state's plan to purchase grain in a unified manner still existed. In particular, the crackdown on economic crime that began in 1983 has had a major impact on the city's private economy. Nian Guangjiu in Wuhu, Anhui Province, is a prime example, and he was imprisoned twice for speculation.

And what Zhao Yuemin is saying now is asking for a legitimate identity for private enterprises, even the Shenchuan Municipal Party Committee is not very sure.

Secretary Zhang was rarely silent at the venue.

Director Liu said anxiously beside him: "Xiao Zhao, look at you, if you get cheap, you will sell well." The Shenchuan Municipal Party Committee kindly invited us to come to the meeting. But you don't open any pot. Aren't you embarrassing your leaders? ”

Zhao Yuemin also regretted it a little when Director Liu said this.

"Comrade Zhao Yuemin, you have a problem for me." Secretary Zhang was silent for a long time and said, "But what, if you want to open a private company in the Special Economic Zone, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Yuemin heard that Secretary Zhang's tone did not completely refuse, and immediately said: "My friend Hu Dong contracted a fleet of vehicles to engage in freight transportation in Jiangbei Province before. In recent years, the development of urban and rural economies, the frequent interaction and exchange of goods, and the freight business have also grown significantly. In this Canton Fair, I feel that the country's foreign trade business will be greatly improved, and at the same time, the international logistics industry will also develop rapidly. I want to ......"

"You say ......"

Zhao Yuemin continued: "My friend, I want to open a private customs broker in Shenchuan to undertake the export customs declaration business of Canton Fair enterprises! ”
