Chapter 217: The Concept of Cash-for-Work
The sun peeked out of the clouds, and the south-facing windows immediately brightened. Hu Wenkai got up and opened the window, and the fresh air that had just been washed by the rain dispelled the turbid smell of the house.
"Zhang Hongfang said that your benefits in the first half of this year were very good, let's hear how far the domestic trading company's business has reached now?" Hu Wenkai asked happily, he especially likes companies that make a lot of money.
Since Zhang Hongfang took charge of the domestic trading company, he gave death orders to the company's employees, and each person only had three days a month to stay in the company to report the situation and organize the supply of goods, and the rest of the time went to various large and medium-sized cities across the country to engage in sales.
In the past six months, more than 30 large-scale trade fairs have been organized across the country, and every time she goes to a chamber of commerce in Jiangsu, she must follow her, and there is no reason but business opportunities. At a trade fair in Qianmen, Beijing, orders were obtained for more than 800,000 yuan, not counting the value of follow-up orders.
In the Tohoku company's products began to squeeze Japanese products out of the major trading houses, and orders from the Tohoku side became a blowout in June. Large-scale forging equipment and trucks are in great demand, and steel is transported to the Northeast in ships.
Hu Wenkai knew that Zhang Zuolin had started a new round of industrial infrastructure construction, and the later scenes were also laid the foundation of heavy industry in Northeast China during this time. Let him build it slowly, it's also his own if it's built, anyway, it's already set to take the Northeast in September next year. Use Zhang Zuolin's money to help you build the Northeast, why not.
Zhang Hongfang finally said that this year, the domestic trading company will definitely give the boss a surprise, and according to their current estimates, the profit will be at least tens of millions.
Hu Wenkai smiled, tens of millions of profits are now immune to Hu Wenkai. This year, as long as Xuzhou is put into production, it can reach this level in minutes, and the key is to squeeze imported products out of the domestic market.
The scale of the domestic market is still too weak and needs to be cultivated slowly. Lao Yi pushed the door in and said, "As soon as the boss came back, the office was crowded. ”
"Boss, the first money of the American Telegraph has arrived."
Hu Wenkai was stunned for a moment, and he thought that it would take a few weeks to drag it out.
"Lao Yi, you contact Li Congshan and ask him to deliver the goods immediately."
"The boss is not in a hurry, Menina said to wait for their family's ship to transport raw copper, unload and load again. The original copper of this ship was used in exchange for our industrial products, and now it is exchanged for goods. ”
Hu Wenkai's eyes lit up and said: "It seems that our largest distributor in South America was born. ”
"It's still the bosses who know how to do business, and this time they have purchased a lot of tracked tractors and walk-behind tractors, a lot of farm tools, and even hundreds of tons of explosives. People say that our side is cheaper, and only two-thirds of the price in South America is two-thirds. ”
Jiang Qiuming looked at Lao Yi with a blank look and said, "Lao Yi, you won't forget my products, didn't you say last night that you would buy more than a dozen walkie-talkies." ”
Lao Yi patted Jiang Qiuming on the shoulder and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I proposed that people say that they want to go to your place to demonstrate it on the spot, and they can't just rely on your mouth." The next batch is sure to have your product. ”
Hu Wenkai laughed, these guys are all businessmen with him, and as long as there is a gap, they will definitely drill into it. Thinking about the reducer, I took out the drawings and parameter descriptions of the reducer from my briefcase and put them on the table.
"Hu Bin, you have a task, Yang Siliang and Zhou Haiquan have a heavy task during this time, and the matter of the reducer production will fall on you."
"I've prepared the drawings for you, you go back and immediately organize people to eat the drawings thoroughly, and build a reducer factory in Xuzhou before the end of the year."
Hu Bin picked up the drawings from the table and looked at them, and after a few minutes, he put them in his briefcase and said: "Boss, I will go back and convene a meeting of personnel first, and you can rest assured that it will definitely be put into production at the end of the year." ”
After finishing speaking, Hu Bin was sneered at by his technicians during this time, saying that if you look at the construction of one factory after another by Yang Siliang and Zhou Haiquan, it is the turn of Yatian South Road in addition to training or training, in addition to research or research. The boss doesn't give a project to the factory, or Hu Bin is incompetent.
Now that he has got a big project, Hu Bin can not rush back immediately to show off, he just glanced at the requirements listed on the drawings can be met in the Yatian South Road factory, and directly organize personnel to design the production line after going back.
asked Wang Xihai to call Lao Shi to move a few people to the conference room to continue the discussion, and Lao Shi began to make fortune like Lao Yi.
"Lao Shi, I can guess that you often eat and drink fat with Lao Yi, smack, you see that your little belly is starting to blow the ball."
Lao Shi held his glasses and said with a smile: "Boss, how do you know?" How do I want to be with Lao Yi, every time he gets off work, he can always block the downstairs of the company on time, saying that he will always invite him back once after eating him twice. ”
"Lao Shi, you were fooled, he can block you so punctually, didn't you find the reason?"
"What is the reason?"
"Wang Xihai is his brother-in-law, he must call Wang Xihai to ask, Lao Shi is not there? Maybe Wang Xihai took the initiative to call him, and he said that Lao Shi was in the office, should he knock him at night. ”
Wang Xihai and Lao Yi didn't defend themselves but laughed on the side, Lao Shi said in disbelief: "No, these two people won't be so insidious, and it's nothing to eat a few meals." ”
Looking at Lao Shi's reaction, it is estimated that there is a story in it, and nine times out of ten, Lao Shi took the initiative to find Lao Yi.
"Sit down, let's talk casually today, I just happened to say some of my immature thoughts, and let you give me my staff officers."
Wang Xihai opened all the windows of the conference room, and the newly recruited clerks came in to help them make tea and spread out their notebooks to take minutes of the meeting. The management of Lao Yi and Wang Xihai in the company is really good, which is more formal than that of Tianxing Town.
"Lao Shi must have a lot of surplus in his account."
"Well, although Xuzhou consumes a lot of money this month, the money on the books has increased a lot."
"I'm thinking that we must not only be good at making money but also good at using money, money lying on the books is dead money, and only by putting money where it is most needed will there be a snowball effect to stimulate local economic development." Hu Wenkai paused for a while and continued.
"There are tens of millions of people in the three provinces, especially in Anhui, where food and clothing are still a problem. It is not possible to give food relief directly, because this will cultivate people's inertia and develop their bad habit of getting something for nothing. ”
"We can't watch these people starve, I'm wondering if we should put forward some money to buy grain, and in Anhui and northern Jiangsu, we can organize relief recipients to participate in the construction of projects, so that the relief recipients can get the necessary income and the most basic living guarantees, so as to achieve the purpose of relief."
"The formation of a number of public works and infrastructure, the local economic and social development of a long-term role, work for relief has the effect of "killing three birds with one stone". At the same time, it can also arouse the spirit of self-reliance and arduous struggle among the masses, and get rid of the negative consciousness of "waiting, relying on, and demanding." ”
Hu Wenkai looked at the few people present, and he regretted how he could find these people to discuss this matter. It is impossible for two foreigners to be overly concerned about people's livelihood issues. I have to bite the bullet and go on.
"Just like we used to do in Haimen and Nantong, we provided food and organized farmers to build roads. This time, we directly provided rice to farmers in Anhui and northern Jiangsu to build roads and water conservancy projects, and those in the mountainous areas bought their stones for rice. The Taihu Lake basin uses rice or money to organize migrant workers to improve water conservancy facilities and strengthen the Taihu Lake embankment. ”
"In Hangzhou, people were organized to build the West Lake embankment with rice or money, using mountain stones."
"This winter and next spring, we will strive to have a reservoir in every county and a pond in every village. There are aqua toilets in villages, two aqua toilets in each township, and four flushing toilets in county seats. ”
Zhang Hongfang asked: "Boss, how much money are you going to invest in this?" ”
"It is impossible to invest funds at one time, it must be invested in months, and I initially want to invest 5 million yuan. Most of the money invested in Anhui and northern Jiangsu, and those in southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang were paid by the local governments. ”
"The governance of Taihu Lake, Jiang Qiuming, you and Wang Changrong and a few of them should discuss it with no less than two million. If you can't wait for a flood to deal with it, it will be too late, and the losses in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Zhejiang will exceed tens of millions after a flood. ”
Jiang Qiuming nodded and said: "Boss, in fact, Wang Changrong and I have already talked about this, he means that in winter, migrant workers will be summoned to strengthen the Taihu Lake embankment, since the boss has spoken, I also feel that this matter will be done sooner or later, and it is better to do it sooner rather than later, and it can also allow poor farmers to increase their income." Shanghai will take out 600,000 yuan, Wang Changrong will give 1 million, and the remaining 400,000 yuan will be paid by Zhejiang. ”
Hu Wenkai added: "The dikes are one thing, but the key is to rebuild the sluice gates and the Sujun River channel. ”
Deng Jun said: "The boss Anhui has actually started to provide relief for work, and each county has started to connect roads in each county since the beginning of June, but they have used our previous method to provide three meals. ”
"How's it going?"
"Boss, you don't know that the poor in northern Anhui are pitiful, Haimen used to be poor jingling, and northern Anhui couldn't even ring. As soon as I heard that the whole family was dispatched to work, the whole family was dispatched, and the miserable family of five only had two pairs of pants. ”
"Jiang Qiuming, Zhang Hongfang, you mobilized the masses in Shanghai and southern Jiangsu to donate old clothes to be shipped to northern Anhui, and Deng Jun, you and Anhui said that you should not only ensure three meals a day, but also give some rice appropriately. Otherwise, we can't let our people starve to death if we don't have anything to eat when we work. ”
"Boss, the warehouses in Xuzhou and Nanjing have the military uniforms of the former Qi Xieyuan troops, and our troops don't need to transport these military uniforms to northern Anhui to those people." Zhang Hongfang knows everything about matter.
"Zhang Hongfang, how many of these uniforms do you estimate?"
"Last time, I counted about 30,000 sets, and there were a lot of quilts. At that time, the troops were handed over as trophies. ”
"Tomorrow, all the vehicles will be transported to northern Anhui immediately, so that the Anhui side will organize personnel to distribute them, and you can't stop collecting donations here."
Lao Shi sighed and said: "Boss, I support your approach, this is actually called blood transfusion, so that the people can tide over the difficulties." Laying the groundwork for the next step may seem like a lot of money right now, but it will pay off heavily. Only when the people are rich will they have purchasing power, will our goods be bought, our factories will have a steady stream of workers, and the bosses' troops will have loyal soldiers to defend our achievements. ”
Hu Wenkai approvingly: "Lao Shi's analysis is very good, and he deserves to be an international friend." ”
"Boss, I'm ready to become a Chinese citizen, I'm a Jew, and I feel like a whole person here, there is no discrimination, and people are free."
"Welcome! Jiang Qiuming, you are responsible for getting Lao Shi's household registration done, and by the way, remember to let Lao Shi have a meal. Hu Wenkai happily said that he knew that Lao Shi was a Jew, and it was a good thing that Jews had been excluded from Europe and could settle in China.
