237 Patriotism is in no particular order
Qiao Hai heard Lin Zhenhua's suggestion and did not reply immediately. He thought for a while, and then said, "Manager Lin, I understand what you mean. Actually, I once had the idea that these are good devices that can be reused with a little repair. However, the idea of hiring a worker in Germany who could repair the equipment was more expensive than buying a new one, so the idea was abandoned. Manager Lin said that the idea of shipping the equipment back to China and then finding workers to repair it is really very good. β
"So, you agreed?" Lin Zhenhua asked.
Qiao Hai shook his head: "I thought about it just now, I will give you the old machine tools and equipment in this yard, or sell it to you, it will not be a problem." However, if it is necessary to purchase old equipment for many years in the future and then ship it to China, I am afraid that it will not attract the attention of customs. There are many people in Germany who are very anti-Chinese, especially the government that opposes Chinese mainland, and if this matter attracts their attention, I am afraid that there will be no less trouble in the future. β
"It shouldn't matter, right?" Lin Zhenhua said, "After all, this is some scrapped equipment, which is well documented." When you declare customs, you can declare it as scrap steel. As far as I know, international trade in scrap should be allowed. β
Qiao Haidao: "However, you are not a steel factory, you are a machinery factory, and it is unreasonable to buy so much scrap steel, right?" β
Ma Jie interjected: "It's not easy, Manager Lin, let's go back and set up a company like Mr. Qiao, called the Scrap Steel Recycling Company, isn't it justified?" β
Lin Zhenhua's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Xiaoma's suggestion is good, but I have a better idea." β
"What's the idea?" Qiao Hai asked.
Lin Zhenhua said: "Mr. Qiao, do you mind establishing a joint venture with us?" Is it called the Sino-German joint venture Qiao's scrap metal recycling company? Now that Chinese mainland is vigorously encouraging investment attraction, if you can invest in the mainland, you will definitely get the treatment of guests. The most important thing is that you put the business of dismantling old metal in China and take advantage of China's low labor costs, which can be explained. In this way, it makes perfect sense for you to ship the scrap metal you buy back to your production base in China. As for what to do with it when we get there, I don't think the German government can control it, right? β
"Wonderful!" Wei Dongqi was the first to clap his hands. At present, there are many German companies investing and building factories in China, and if Qiao Hai is willing to invest, he will not attract the attention of others in Germany. Once there is a production base in China, then transporting waste equipment from Germany to China is a transaction between the parent company and the subsidiary, and there is much less trouble involving the Chinese company. As Lin Zhenhua said, when these waste equipment arrives in China, the Germans can't help but make irresponsible remarks.
"Mr. Qiao, if this is the case, I guarantee that the profit of your recycling company will be more than ten times higher than it is now. Wouldn't it be more profitable to refurbish all the equipment that can be refurbished and used by us to pay you twice or even triple the purchase price plus the shipping costs? Lin Zhenhua continued to strengthen Qiao Hai's determination.
Qiao Hai didn't squeak, hesitated for a long time, and then said sneeringly: "Mr. Lin, the suggestion you said is indeed very good. However, I also have some hidden secrets, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. β
"Sir, please." Lin Zhenhua said.
Qiao Haidao: "I won't hide it from you, my father turned out to be a high-ranking official of the guomin party, and during the civil war, he killed the gongchan party. Because of this, I haven't been back for so many years, and I'm afraid that the Gongchan Party won't be able to tolerate us people. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. At that time, it was still the beginning of reform and opening up, and although the state's policy was to encourage overseas Chinese to return to China to invest, no one could say whether this policy would be repeated. Especially when it comes to the descendants of former high-ranking officials of the guomin party, will there be a matter of settling accounts after the autumn?
Lin Zhenhua is a prescient person, and of course he knows that the country's policies are becoming more and more relaxed. In a few decades, wouldn't the family members of former high-ranking officials who have long since broken away from the guomin party, even the chairman of the guomin party, also be able to inspect the mainland in a grand manner and enjoy the honor of being called "Grandpa Lian"?
The only thing that made Lin Zhenhua hesitate was actually Qiao Hai's own political position. He hesitated for a moment and asked Qiao Hai, "Old man, in that case, why do you still want to help us mainlanders?" Qiao Hai said: "The grievances between my father and the Gongchan Party were formed before the Anti-Japanese War. During the Anti-Japanese War, the team led by my father also fought side by side with the Eighth Route Army. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, my father was not accustomed to the ugly behavior of the Guomin Party to rob and recruit officials, and spoke out many times, offending many people. Later, my father felt that the Guomin Party was exhausted and was unwilling to give the Guomin Party a funeral, so he took our family to Germany. β
Lin Zhenhua asked again: "So, what was Ling Zun's attitude towards the mainland government later?" β
Qiao Haidao: "My father has always said that his heart is neither biased towards the Communist Party nor towards Jiang, he only loves the land where he was born and raised. He also said that whether it is the Communist Party or Chiang, he will support whoever can make the country prosperous and strong. You don't know, because the country is poor and weak, we, overseas Chinese, have no status abroad at all. When our family first lived here, we were actually a wealthy family around, but the local Germans around us, even the cleaners who sweep the floor, were arrogant to us and looked down on us at all. β
"Is that still the case?"
Qiao Haidao: "This situation lasted for many years, until one dayγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» I remember very clearly, it was one day in October 1964, we got up early in the morning, and suddenly found that the neighbors around us looked at us The eyes had changed, and the attitude was no longer that kind of contempt and arrogance, but there was some respect and even flattery. That arrogant German cleaner had never swept the ground in front of our house, but that morning he swept the front of my house clean. β
"Why is that?" Ma Jie asked curiously.
Qiao Hai said with tears in his eyes: "We didn't know at first. My father told me to go to the newsstand and buy a newspaper, and I saw a headline in big lettersγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» China has successfully exploded its first atomic bomb!" β
Lin Zhenhua and the others' hearts also jumped with criticism, this was the first time they had heard overseas Chinese talk about this matter. Although it was the first time in 20 years, everyone was deeply touched.
Qiao Hai continued: "I remember that when I handed the newspaper to my father, my father couldn't cry. He said that since he became a German citizen, he thought that he had nothing to do with China. However, at this moment, he knew that he would always be Chinese, no matter where your nationality was written, your yellow skin and black hair could not be changed, and in the eyes of others, you would always be Chinese. β
Wei Jingwen nodded and said, "What the old gentleman said is right. The Jews went to great lengths to rebuild the state of Israel because they learned from the Holocaust of World War II that no matter how much money you have, no matter how many years you have lived there, in times of trouble, you are a foreigner in the eyes of others. At this time, only your homeland can protect you. β
"Yes, yes." Qiao Hai said approvingly, "This is also what my ancestor said. Since then, he has been telling us that if there is even the slightest possibility, we must try our best to help the motherland become rich and strong. When the motherland is rich and strong, only then can we, overseas Chinese, have status and be able to stand tall and be human beings. As for what kind of social system your home country is, foreigners don't really care. β
Lin Zhenhua said: "Old man, your words are enough. The mainland's policy toward overseas Chinese is consistent, that is, patriotism in no particular order. Regardless of political stance, as long as you are patriotic, everything can be discussed. So, this time with us, there is also a deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, tomorrow you come to the exhibition, I will introduce you, let him tell you about the relevant policies, so that you can rest assured, right? β
"Okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow." Qiao Hai said in high spirits, "Everyone, if the mainland's policy really allows us to go back and invest, I will definitely go back and invest in the establishment of a joint venture to transfer waste equipment to the mainland as Mr. Lin instructed." I also want to go back to my hometown to have a look, my father has always had a last wish, that is, I want to be buried in the land of my hometown. β
Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Hai took everyone to a restaurant, invited them to a sumptuous dinner, and then sent them back to the station in a commercial car. Before saying goodbye, Ma Jie took Qiao Hai's hand and instructed: "Old man, you have to protect those machine tools for me, don't use a hammer to smash them again." β
Wei Jingwen also stepped forward and explained: "Old man, you can ask someone to help me pay attention to it and see if there are any waste electronic devices, no matter how bad they are, as long as there are components in them, you can help me buy them." β
"No problem!" Qiao Hai said, "In fact, there are a lot of waste equipment in Germany, and in the past, my company's digestion capacity was limited, and I was reluctant to accept a lot of equipment. If the joint venture company proposed by Mr. Lin can be established, then I can eat more waste equipment, but I don't know if you want so much. β
Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I want more equipment." There is really no place to put it, so I have a big deal to send it to the children's primary school, and build an experimental factory in the primary school, so that the dolls of the Hanhua factory can learn machine tools from an early age. β
Sending Qiao Hai away, Lin Zhenhua asked his subordinates to go back to the room to rest, and went straight to Gao Zuxing's room. He made an appointment for Qiao Hai to come to the exhibition tomorrow to talk with Gao Zuxing, and he would definitely report this matter to Gao Zuxing in advance.
Walking to Gao Zuxing's door, Lin Zhenhua was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, when he heard a sad and angry roar from inside: "They are all bastards, they are simply a group of losers!" βγ οΌ
