Lin Zhenhua and his entourage still returned to China via Hong Kong. After returning to China, he first went to Yanjing with Chang Qingbo and several other people from the navy to report the results of the trip to Zhang Zhifang.

This trip, for the navy, can be said to be a full load. The Thai side ordered two frigates, and the final transaction price of a single ship was 55 million US dollars, which has far exceeded Zhang Zhifang's original expectations. What's more, these two ships are still built according to the standards of economic and applicable type defined by Lin Zhenhua, and if they are to be upgraded in the future, they will have to pay additional costs.

Of course, in the process of this transaction, a group of people, including Jilabhorn, have to pluck the feathers of the goose, and these expenses will be handled by Lin Zhenhua. The details of it, except for Zhang Zhifang and some senior leaders at the top, are kept secret.

Lin Zhenhua finally returned to Xunyang with only a meritorious service certificate issued by the navy. In this deal, Shin Shin was able to make nearly $6 million in profits, excluding various marketing expenses, but this money is not available now. The people from the Thai [***] side still have to come to inspect before they can finally sign the contract, and only part of the payment will be made after the signing, and the full payment will take two years later.

"Good job, boy." Before leaving Yanjing, Zhang Zhifang patted Lin Zhenhua's shoulder and praised him.

Lin Zhenhua said modestly: "Where is it, Minister Zhang, in fact, I just pulled the string, and I basically didn't participate in the rest of the matter, to talk about it, it's really not a credit." ”

Zhang Zhifang said: "This time, the other party's reserve price, you know, this credit is not big enough?" This reserve price alone has earned us tens of millions more. Also, if it weren't for you, I don't know how long this deal would have dragged on, and maybe it would have been snatched up by the Yankees or Germans. ”

"That's just as well." Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "By the way, Minister Zhang, I sold warships for the Navy and also earned some money for private individuals, which is considered legal income, right?" In case the disciplinary department comes to investigate me, Minister Zhang will have to say a few words of justice for me. ”

Zhang Zhifang said: "Whoever dares to find trouble with you, let him come to me." ”

"Hehe, with your words, I will be sure." Lin Zhenhua said happily.

Chang Qingbo left Yanjing with Lin Zhenhua, but Lin Zhenhua returned to Xunyang, and Chang Qingbo returned to Shanghai. When the two of them went to the train station together, Chang Qingbo was embarrassed and secretly said to Lin Zhenhua: "Xiaolin, this time I went to Thailand, you gave me 1,200 US dollars before and after, and I have already asked Minister Zhang." He said that it would be better to treat it as a bonus from the equipment department, but he also said that it would not be an example. ”

"Next time." Lin Zhenhua smiled, "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to buy an imported refrigerator, why didn't you buy it?" ”

Chang Qingbo said: "I don't have to buy it abroad. There is a service center for people going abroad in Shanghai, and I only need to take out the national quota and the surplus dollars to buy there, and a person can buy a large item and a small piece, and the price is not tax. ”

Lin Zhenhua took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Chang Qingbo's hand, and said, "When you say this, I really remember it." This is my index of going abroad, and I don't plan to buy any imported goods, so I'll give it to you. ”

Chang Qingbo asked, "Xiaolin, don't you need to buy large items at home?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "I'm alone now, what big items do I need to buy?" Besides, in the next few years, I guess I will have to go abroad a few more times, and there is an opportunity to buy whatever I want. ”

Chang Qingbo was overjoyed, he took the certificate handed to him by Lin Zhenhua, carefully picked it up, and said: "Actually, Baoxing also gave me his indicators, he is a soldier, and he can't use it." I can't buy that many large items, so I'm going to give them to other colleagues. ”

There is no direct train between Yanjing and Xunyang, so Lin Zhenhua can only return to Nandu first, and then change trains from Nandu back to Xunyang. When he arrived in Nandu, Lin Zhenhua first went to the Light Chemical Hall to see Xie Chunyan, and this time he signed back four sets of large fertilizer orders, Lin Zhenhua had some ideas and needed to communicate with Xie Chunyan.

"Yo, our hero is back?" Xie Chunyan said this when she saw Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua replied obediently: "This is mainly an achievement under the wise guidance of Director Xie, the credit is the leader, and the mistakes are all the work of our subordinates." ”

Xie Chunyan glanced at him and said with a smile: "You Xiaolin, when will you be able to change this slippery problem." You're a celebrity now, so it's not okay to talk like that. ”

Lin Zhenhua was surprised: "No, Director Xie, I've only been out for a month, how can I become a celebrity?" ”

Xie Chunyan said: "Don't you know, in the past few days, there have been at least twenty or thirty people who have come to me to ask you." I'll do the math for you, the Department of Light Industry of East Zhejiang Province, the Department of Chemical Industry of Anhui Province, the Department of Machinery of Hubei Province, and the Department of Foreign Trade of Sichuan Province ......"

"Wait, wait." Lin Zhenhua hurriedly interrupted Xie Chunyan's words and asked: "Director Xie, what are these gods looking for me, I have already authorized the patents of the five-blade fan and the waterfall washing machine to their province, could it be that they sent me money?" ”

"Send money? Grab the money! Xie Chunyan said indignantly, "They didn't come to talk about your fan and washing machine, they took a fancy to the four sets of equipment you signed, and they all wanted us to make two sets for them." ”

"I'm dizzy." Lin Zhenhua said, "How did this news spread so quickly? ”

Xie Chunyan sighed: "No way, there are people from any department who went with you this time, and some comrades in our Qinghua Department also like to brag, and I don't know who told me about it." ”

Lin Zhenhua was depressed, this trip to Thailand, he brought a mixed delegation, which included people from foreign trade, diplomacy, translators, team doctors, etc., all kinds of things. He talked to Jilabhorn about the fertilizer equipment, and although he tried to keep a low profile, he still couldn't hide it from those people in the group. Also, when he asked the country to transmit information to Thailand, many people in the Light Chemical Agency heard about it. Among all these insiders, there are always some people who have broken their mouths, and after three or two transmissions, the news will fly all over the sky.

This can be regarded as a legacy of the planned economy era, and everyone does not have much concept of trade secrets. Fortunately, Lin Zhenhua kept an eye on it, and in terms of the specific price, he only told Xie Chunyan and Zhu Tiejun, and did not disclose it to more people.

"Even if they knew, it wouldn't be their business, would it?" Lin Zhenhua said, "These four sets of equipment, but I signed it for Hanhua Factory, what does it have to do with others?" ”

Xie Chunyan said: "The problem is that everyone knows that your Hanhua factory can't eat these four sets of equipment. ”

"This ......" Lin Zhenhua was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this matter. These days, he is busy negotiating, and he doesn't think much about production capacity. In his opinion, as long as there is a list, there is no need to worry about production. In China in the 21st century, there have always been orders for equipment, and I haven't heard much about orders and other equipment.

Lin Zhenhua actually knows the production capacity of the Hanhua factory. The last time the equipment of Guixi Fertilizer Plant was done for more than half a year, which is almost the limit of the capacity of the whole plant, so that it is almost impossible to get two sets a year, and it is impossible to produce four sets. As for Thailand, it is hoped that these four sets of equipment will be built within a year, and the time requirements are relatively tight.

"Director Xie, what do you mean?" Lin Zhenhua asked rhetorically. He had a vague idea, but now he felt that the opportunity had come.

Xie Chunyan said: "This matter has been discussed with Lao Zhu several times. There are a few options at the moment, but none of them are ideal, so I'll have to wait for you to come back and discuss. ”

Lin Zhenhua asked tentatively: "Director Xie, as the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields. If the Hanhua factory can't take it, we definitely can't hand it over to other provinces to do, right? Did the hall consider handing over the list to the petrochemical machine to do? Their production capacity is strong enough, and it should be easy to get two sets of equipment......"

Before Lin Zhenhua could finish speaking, Xie Chunyan had already interrupted him: "It's impossible on the petrification machine." ”

"What, they have another order?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Chunyan said angrily: "What other orders, they changed the container workshop into a refrigerator assembly workshop, and even sold the plate bending machine, and what else do they do to pressure vessels." ”

"Won't it?" Lin Zhenhua almost jumped up, "Who is so confused!" ”

Xie Chunyan said: "This matter, when they reported to the hall, the hall didn't quite agree. But they said that now there are no orders for pressure vessels, and they are ready to give up the production of this piece and go all out to switch to refrigerators. Now it is advocating the expansion of the autonomy of enterprises, and it is not easy for the government to interfere in their production decisions. In this way, they changed the workshop. ”

"What a mouse's eye!" Lin Zhenhua said distressedly, "Director Xie, let me tell you, I went out this time, and I felt very deeply. Our country is now engaged in industrial restructuring, and equipment orders in the domestic market have decreased, but the foreign market is very large. Let's talk about fertilizer equipment, our domestic demand is small now, but those developing countries in Southeast Asia still need it. My next step is to go to South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, and I estimate that I will get back ten sets of eight sets of fertilizer orders a year. ”

"What you said is true?" Xie Chunyan asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's true. I've become a buddy with a director of Thailand's Ministry of Commerce, and he said he has some connections with his counterparts in other Southeast Asian countries, and he promised to help me market our fertilizer equipment. In the next step, there are oil refining equipment, pharmaceutical equipment, low-pressure boilers, and the market is very large. ”

"Hey, why didn't you think of that sooner?" Xie Chunyan complained, "If you had thought of this, we wouldn't have let the petrochemical machine switch to production anyway." Now the backbone enterprises in our province in the pressure vessel are only Hanhua factory, and several other machinery factories have no experience in pressure vessels. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "In this case, then, Director Xie, I have an idea, say it and ask the leaders of the hall to think about it." What do you think? ”

Xie Chunyan said impatiently: "If you have any ideas, just say it quickly, what else are you selling?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "I would like to ask the Department of Light Chemical Industry to allow our Shin Shin Company to join forces with Hanhua Machinery Factory to eat the order for these four sets of equipment. ”
