Longkou Industrial Zone, Linhai Hotel.

The Standing Secretary of the Xiangjiang Municipal Party Committee had just finished receiving the guests from Switzerland and began to listen to the report of Han Rong, President of the Xiangjiang Branch of the People's Bank of China.

“…… 60 million East Marks is not a huge amount of money, the actual purchasing power is equivalent to less than 13 million yuan, in fact, the head office is also a headache for the hundreds of millions of East Marks left over the trade surplus over the years, it can be said that it is not impossible to lend to them. However, this involves the issue of capital outflow, and President Zhu is worried that it will have a negative impact on the economic development of the Special Economic Zone, so I have specially asked you to report to you, and whether this amount will be adjusted or not is subject to your opinion. ”

After the failure of the "price barrier," the country was faced with the most serious economic runaway since the reform and opening up, the economic policy continued to tend to shrink and be conservative, the enthusiasm for reform in the whole country suffered a serious setback, and people hated the "official downfall", and thus gave rise to the impression that "reform caused social injustice."

In just a few months, the number of self-employed households registered in the city has decreased by 20,000, and the number of private enterprises that were already a small number of private enterprises has dropped from more than 2,000 six months ago to more than 600.

Even members of the Central Advisory Committee and veteran leaders who had led the reform in Guangdu wrote articles in newspapers to "persuade" the development of the Hong Kong Special Economic Zone and to follow the principle of "appropriateness."

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!

The decision-making level is vacillating about the reform, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and at this critical moment when the wind is loud and the grass and trees are all soldiers, every move may cause a domino effect, so the People's Bank of China simply pushed the application for the East Mark transfer of Xiangjiang Development to the Xiangjiang Municipal Party Committee.

The SAR economy relies on Hong Kong for development, and the outflow of capital is undoubtedly a very dangerous signal.

Secretary Chang frowned and asked sharply: "Governor Han, are you saying that they want to borrow the East Mark and repay the RMB?" ”

"Yes, but I don't think it's that simple."

Han Rong sorted out his thoughts and analyzed them carefully: "First of all, they have no urgent need for East Germany at all, and the so-called investment in East Germany to build factories is pure nonsense, which the head office has confirmed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that East Germany cannot reform and open up like us in at least five years;

Secondly, their development momentum is good, the products are very competitive in the world, according to the feedback of the comrades of the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China, three months ago, they just signed a ten-year switch panel OEM agreement with the South Korean four-star group, with a total contract value of nearly 10 million US dollars! The sales network covers almost all developed countries in the West, and the optical switch panels and industrial appliances that will be mass-produced next month are too busy, so how can it be possible to do business in the Warsaw Pact countries?

And they have spared no effort in the development of new products, and their laboratory has just made an important breakthrough in the field of quantum mechanics, and even the Hong Kong UGC and the American Business Machines Corporation have offered funding. You say that a company with such potential is how it is possible to look at the switch panel market in those countries of the Warsaw Pact? ”

The field of quantum mechanics?

There was such a company under his nose, Secretary Chang was taken aback and blurted out: "An important breakthrough in the field of quantum mechanics? They also have their own laboratory? ”

Han Rong nodded, and confirmed with a wry smile: "I didn't know at first, but because this East Mark loan was too strange, I kept an eye on it, and asked the comrades of Bank of China Hong Kong Branch, Xinhua Bank, Zhongnan Bank and Jincheng Bank (several Chinese banks before the establishment of Bank of China Hong Kong) to touch the bottom. I don't know if I don't ask, but I was shocked when I inquired, not only did they just make a major breakthrough in quantum mechanics research, but the three engineers who made the breakthrough were all from China. ”

"Talent!"

"Yes, it's a pity that they are all skilled immigrants," Han Rong paused, and added: "One of the engineers is called Charter, only eighteen years old after the New Year, the chairman's brother-in-law, the company's largest shareholder, and almost all of the NB electrical switch panel patents are his own, and it is rumored that Mr. Gu Dongcheng treats him differently and calls him a little Edison and a little inventor." ”

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a freak, and in the eyes of the permanent secretary, there is nothing.

Because since the establishment of the junior class of the University of Science and Technology in 1978, there have been 400 11-year-old college students, 15-year-old master's students, and 21-year-old doctors in China, and a 26-year-old associate professor last year.

The key is the outflow of funds, and even though the East Mark is worthless, if it is really spread out and then spread by people with good intentions, it will inevitably shake the confidence of Hong Kong businessmen in the SAR in reform and opening up.

Secretary Chang pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "President Han, can you make a phone call to test and ask them if they can exchange foreign exchange?" If it is agreed to repay the loan in Hong Kong dollars or US dollars, then there is no such thing as an outflow; If they don't agree, they have to repay the loan in RMB, then find an excuse to shirk it, as for what they want East Mark to do...... It has nothing to do with us. ”

This is the best of both worlds, President Han immediately grabbed the phone at hand and probed Liu Siwei's reaction in front of the interview with the permanent secretary. The result surprised Han Rong, and Liu Siwei actually agreed.

"All of a sudden, Secretary Chang, you see the problem too thoroughly!"

"Don't compliment me, I'd love to know what they want East Mark to do."

The permanent secretary paced back and forth in the room twice, and finally stopped by the door to study the switch panel of NB Electric, Han Rong was confused, standing or sitting, and was about to say something, the permanent secretary suddenly turned around and smiled: "President Han, since whether or not to adjust this East Mark is subject to the opinions of our Xiangjiang Municipal Party Committee, then I will have more authority, please do not adjust it for the time being." ”

Before, he didn't dare to adjust because he was afraid of taking political risks, but now it can be confirmed that it is not an outflow of funds, how can Han Rong miss this opportunity to digest 60 million East Marks, and subconsciously asked: "Why?" ”

Secretary Chang smiled meaningfully and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Han Rong Yileng immediately reacted like an empowerment, and laughed: "For an enterprise with development potential like NB Electric, the municipal party committee and municipal government should indeed vigorously support it, but in this way, Lao Gu's face is ugly." ”

"The SAR Bank is supposed to serve the SAR, and if he has any ideas, let him come to me."

"Okay, then I'll follow your instructions."

…………………………………………………………………

There is no loan to follow, Li Xiaoshan is not surprised, and he does not feel lost.

He has adapted to the role of the Chinese general manager, straightened out the relationship with the government departments, and dealt with some things that were inconvenient for Liu Siwei and the charter to come forward. He didn't have to worry about decision-making at all, and in fact, even if he was involved, he wouldn't be able to come up with any constructive suggestions.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he came to the office as usual, and was about to call to ask when the police station was closed, so that he could send the prepared New Year's goods over.

They are all old friends, so they don't need to be so polite.

After making tea and handing over cigarettes, Li Xiaoshan joked freely: "Secretary Yang, District Mayor Kong, are you two a surprise inspection, or a private visit to Weifu?" ”

Deputy District Chief Kong and Deputy Secretary Yang glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "It's not, but I have sent you charcoal in the snow." ”

"Send charcoal in the snow, District Chief Kong, where do you start talking about this?"

"Mr. Li, they are not outsiders, you tell us the truth, can your company's production capacity keep up?"

"Isn't this knowingly asking, if we can keep up, we can still do the second phase of the project?"

Deputy District Chief Kong asked again: "What about after the second phase of the project is delivered?" ”

Last year, there was a lack of funds, so I could only auction 160 acres of land, and now I can cover all the places, but I still don't feel enough. There is a piece of land in the west, but the city planning bureau said that it is commercial land, not only the land price is high, but also the auction cannot build a factory.

In order to make room for the high and low voltage sets in the second half of the year, Li Xiaoshan was doing Ding Wenming's ideological work in the past two days, and wanted him to move the electronics division to the temporary dormitory of the old factory.

Deputy Secretary Yang smiled and said nothing, Li Xiaoshan reacted suddenly, and couldn't help blurting out: "Two leaders, are you saying that the land in the west is fine?" ”

Deputy District Mayor Kong's face was straight, and he said matter-of-factly: "Mr. Li, the nature of the use of the land in the west has already been determined by the Municipal Planning Bureau. Considering the actual difficulties of your company, the district has been helping you fight for it, and now the city has finally relented, but there are some conditions, from a personal point of view, Secretary Yang and I still hope that you can seriously consider it. ”

"On what terms?"

"Joint venture!"

In the first few days of reform and opening up, foreign investment in the construction of factories was basically a joint venture, with the special zone taking land as a shareholder, and foreign investors investing capital and equipment, and the term of the joint venture was generally about 30 years. Later, there were more and more foreign businessmen, especially those electronics and clothing enterprises transferred from Hong Kong to the mainland, which were small in scale, large in number, and had little technical content, so they gradually became wholly-owned.

NB Electric's half-year output value is nearly 30 million yuan, which is unique among the wholly-owned enterprises in the Special Economic Zone. Li Xiaoshan realized that the company must have attracted the attention of the district and the city, otherwise they would not have made this suggestion.

"Two leaders, joint venture is a good thing, but I really can't be the master of such a big thing."

Secretary Yang snuffed out the cigarette butt and smiled casually: "I didn't ask you to agree now, I just asked you and Mr. Liu to seriously consider it." In addition, I heard that you need a foreign exchange, and if there is a joint venture, the district will definitely try to help you solve it. In short, the joint venture has all the benefits and no harm, and it will never let you suffer. ”

Li Xiaoshan is convinced of this, in fact, there are so many joint ventures in the Special Economic Zone, and only local governments and domestic enterprises, especially those businessmen, use a bunch of broken copper and iron to trap the joint venture partners. Liu Siwei and the charter have also discussed the possibility of joint ventures with him more than once, after all, as a future power equipment company, it is difficult to get orders for power grids and power plants without government support.

"Secretary Yang and Deputy District Mayor Kong, you two are really a charcoal in the snow, but can you be specific, so that we can have a number in our hearts."

According to the second phase of the project report provided by you, the district estimates that your industrial electrical appliances and high and low voltage complete sets of business will be independent sooner or later, so I plan to take the two hundred and forty acres of land in the west to buy shares, as for how many shares, first evaluate, and then the two sides sit down and talk slowly."

did not ask for a stake in the parent company, this proposal is very reasonable, Li Xiaoshan nodded slightly, and asked again: "What about the foreign exchange loan?" ”

"It's no problem to lend to NB electricians or NB electrical, if 60 million is not enough, the district will help you find another way."

The implication of Deputy District Mayor Kong is very clear that there is a premise for the joint venture, and it is necessary to separate the industrial electrical appliances and the high-voltage complete set of business that is about to be launched. The same is true for East Mark loans, which can be loaned to NB electricians or to the parent company NB Electrical, but they cannot be loaned to future joint ventures.

Seeing that they were afraid of being affected by the East Mark, Li Xiaoshan felt a little funny, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Secretary Yang, District Mayor Kong, how much can the district help us borrow at most?" ”

The Standing Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee has already handed over the bottom, there is really nothing to worry about, Deputy Secretary Yang waved his hand and said in high spirits: "How much your assets are, the district can help you with how much you can borrow!" ”

PS: Sanjiang's ranking is a bit hanging, and it looks like it is about to be squeezed out of the top five.

It is quite troublesome to receive it again, to vote for it, and to enter more than a dozen words, but in order to make the ranking less ugly, Lao Han had to ask for votes again.

Please hold on to your dear brothers and sisters, Lao Han is grateful.
