Chapter 241, Director Zheng's ambition
After getting the bidding results, President Liang spoke to his old leader as soon as possible.
"Not bad!" After listening to President Liang's report, the tone of the old leader on the phone was obviously joyful, now the country is too short of foreign exchange, and it can be said that it will greatly ease the country's foreign exchange pressure.
"Lao Liang, now the central government attaches great importance to this project, and it can be said that it has issued a dead order, requiring all units involved in the project to do their best to support! It can be said that there is no problem in the country. It's just that the British government in Hong Kong has some trouble, and rashly let our people enter Hong Kong, maybe they will produce some moths.
Although you said that the teenager named Lei Weidong has found HSBC to dredge up the relationship, as long as we both work hard and do a good job of the regulations, there is no reason why the Hong Kong and British side will not let us in. But if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if, you have to keep an eye on this matter.
And now the people of those construction corps are already on standby in Shekou, you should dredge up relations with them as soon as possible," the old leader said wisely.
President Liang smiled and said: "Since the old leader you have said so, then we will naturally do it, I will let Director Zheng go over tomorrow, and then let him communicate with those construction companies, and the old leader will tell you a good news, the project advance payment has been deposited in the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China in the afternoon, which is 145 million US dollars, and when the quality deposit arrives, the money will be in our account."
But can we keep some of the dollars from the old leader? You must know that we often use foreign exchange here, and it is very troublesome to apply, so we can make up for the gap with RMB? ”
The main reason why President Liang said this is because there is a shortage of dollars everywhere and in every department, even in their Xinhua News Agency branch. Because this side has been dealing with foreign countries, it is not too difficult to apply for foreign exchange, but there is also a certain amount every year, and the bank will not give it too happily if the quota is exceeded.
And now there is such a good opportunity, don't withhold too much, that is, you can do a lot of things by withholding a few million dollars, which is why President Liang is not greedy. Compared with the previous use of foreign exchange, which needs to be allocated by the bank, if the branch has withheld some of the money itself, then there is no need to ask the bank for help in many emergency situations.
Although everyone is working for the country, the speed of approval by the bank is really not too fast, and even if the branch applies for funds, it is also not fast.
Therefore, in many cases, things or news that have good opportunities and will bring great benefits to the country will pass by the opportunity just because there is no spare money for activities in hand.
Therefore, having the necessary dollar liquidity on this side is of great benefit to the work.
That is, in the old leader, President Liang spoke without concealment, because if the old leader agreed, the matter could be decided, because the old leader has a high level, it can be said that he is already a leader in the central government, as long as the old leader speaks in the central committee, the central government will definitely agree.
And with such a large amount of foreign exchange, it can be said that I have intercepted a little bit of the past.
Hearing President Liang's words, the old leader on the other end of the phone immediately became angry: "Nonsense, interception, interception, you want to intercept everything." If anyone wants to intercept it, then this money will not reach the central government at all, and it will all become RMB! ”
You must know that all departments of the country are now short of foreign exchange, and everyone is now similar to a wolf for this dollar, so it can be said that the whole country is staring at it!
Once it is discovered that the Xinhua News Agency branch has intercepted US dollars, it is estimated that everyone will pounce on it and ask for benefits. At that time, don't talk about the old leader himself, even the old leader Deng Gong can't stop it, who doesn't want to take advantage!
Hearing the words of the old leader, President Liang's cold sweat came down, he really forgot the current situation on the mainland, it can be said that this opening cannot be opened at all, if it is opened, no one can stop the people who come to the relationship, now the mainland is too short of dollars, and earning foreign exchange is already a slogan.
Understanding the danger in this, President Liang immediately said: "Old leader, I was really wrong this time, I didn't expect that there were other issues involved." You didn't say that just now, and when the time comes, I will hand over all these dollars to the various departments. Whoever it should be, it is whom, and our branch will cooperate with them 100 percent. ”
"That's good, there will be more cooperation like this in the future, can't you get money? Anything in the early stage must be made a model out. It can even be extended to other things, just like the matter of real estate construction, since they like to take advantage, I don't believe that there will only be Lei Weidong who likes bargains, and other companies don't like it?
In such matters, you also have to use your brains, and you can't wait for something to come to the door before making arrangements. The old leader said on the phone.
As far as the mainland is concerned, no matter what is the first time, it must be a model, and most of the future cooperation will also draw on the experience and lessons of the first cooperation.
It can be said that this time the thing must be done well, and it will be much easier to do such things in the future, after all, there is a model. Just do it.
Moreover, I don't want to involve such a big deal for the first time, and I will keep an eye on it up and down, and it will be much easier for the Xinhua News Agency branch to earn foreign exchange by itself
Okay, this matter has been decided, tomorrow you will call Xiao Zheng to come to Shekou, and you can't let the brothers of the construction unit wait. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that diplomacy is no small matter, especially at this time, when the national line is at its most critical, and no one can make mistakes.
Of course, if you do a good job this time, I will give your department a special reward of several million dollars through the old leader. As soon as the old leader finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Of course, before hanging up the phone, I didn't forget to give President Liang a sweet date to eat.
With the hint of the old leader, President Liang is more motivated. Although this dollar is not counted on his head now, the old leader said that as long as things are done beautifully, he will still give himself a reward of several million dollars, of course, this money is for the department, not for himself.
President Liang didn't think about benefiting himself, the cadres in these years are very simple, they only think about the country in their hearts, never think about themselves, as long as they can contribute to the country, they are happy.
President Liang thought that with these millions of dollars, the situation of Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong would soon be opened, after all, many times it was because the funds could not keep up that the situation was not opened, thus wasting a lot of relationships.
And the days to come are still long, as long as this thing is done well, it will be able to enter the Hong Kong construction market in the future, with the cost advantage of the mainland, as long as you have a good relationship with those Chinese real estate developers, it is very easy to develop and grow.
Of course, these things need to be considered in the future, but now, President Liang just told Director Zheng to go to Shekou to do a good job in this matter, and not to be sloppy at all. Director Zheng, who knows the importance of this matter, also guarantees that he will complete the task, this is a big project involving hundreds of millions of dollars, who dares to be sloppy!
In Hong Kong in the 70s, the affairs of the Xinhua News Agency branch were heavy, tiring, and difficult, and it can be said that many people would not come to Hong Kong to do things if they had a choice.
The main reason is that in the 70s, due to the influence of the mainland movement, it was particularly difficult to work in Hong Kong, and because of the mistakes in work, there was a phenomenon of retrogression, and criticism from the leaders can be said to be commonplace.
In addition, the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency branch is also under the leadership of the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office, and the highest level is President Liang is a deputy ministerial level, but it is very troublesome to be promoted according to Director Zheng's level, except for replacing President Liang's position, otherwise it is impossible to raise the level at all, so if there is a chance, jumping out is a really good thing.
Moreover, Hong Kong belongs to the subordinates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can take the road of promotion. However, because of the chaotic situation in the country, diplomatic work has also come to a standstill, and there is no prospect of working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at all.
Of course, in the 80s, especially after the Sino-British negotiations, because of the importance attached by the central authorities, the level of the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency was directly mentioned to the ministerial level, and it can be said that it was directly led by the central government.
At that time, I was sent to work in Hong Kong, which was even more eye-catching than in a large government agency in the mainland, and ordinary people really couldn't get this job if they didn't have a cover.
Now, for the sake of his own future and the interests of the country, Director Zheng took the car back to Shekou at 6 o'clock the next morning without hesitation.
As a staff member of the branch, the conditions for passing through the customs are much better than those of ordinary people, and you don't even need to show a special pass, you can pass the customs directly in the car of the branch.
When he arrived in Shekou, the first thing Director Zheng visited was his superior department, the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office, and he went to report first, after all, many procedures must be followed in the officialdom, and it is easy to do things with the care of the higher departments.
The Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office has a lot of energy on the mainland, and even in the inland areas, they have a lot of contacts, and even if they don't have the corresponding connections, they can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United Front Work Department to give relevant help.
In those years, the United Front Work Department was a really large department, and its ability was absolutely strong, and a large part of the country's foreign exchange sources fell on the side of the United Front Work Department, so they had great rights.
Unlike the continent thirty years later, it has basically been reduced to a symbol, and its actual effect is not great.
