Bad news one after another.

As soon as Liu Guisong finished reporting the news of the reopening of the dry port on the night, the chief of the telecommunications section hurriedly ran over, very anxious, and said, "Factory director, Director Liu, there is an accident at the wharf." The customs said that there was a problem with our goods and did not approve them on board. ”

"What?" Li Yaohua was taken aback and stood up suddenly.

The chief of the telecommunications section wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "They have detained the goods, and the horsemen have just passed, and the details are not known yet." ”

"Let's go."

Li Yaohua's face was very ugly, and he strode out. Liu Guisong frowned deeply and strode to follow, turned back to the telecommunications section chief and said, "You immediately notify the Red Star Defense side and ask their vice president to come over." ”

"Yes!" The chief of the telecommunications section hurriedly went.

After walking two steps, Li Yaohua said to Liu Guisong, "Call Secretary Zhou." ”

Liu Guisong agreed, turned around and returned to the factory director's office, and used the phone there to call Secretary Zhou. Li Yaohua jumped in the car and drove directly to the Red Star Wharf. When Liu Guisong chased him out after making a phone call, the car was already far away. He had no choice but to find another trolley and hurry up to follow.

He subconsciously compared Li Yaohua and Li Lu, in the face of such an emergency, if it was Li Lu, he would never be chaotic. It is obvious that Li Yaohua has begun to panic.

It's really because the goods exported are very important, and he can't understand where the customs dare to seize the goods sent to the Persian Gulf!

A steady stream of ocean-going freighters from the Red Star Terminal were carrying goods from Iran's Puda Company and Iraq's Dharam Company. Red Star Defense Company, through the Red Star Factory, as the general agent, handed over the foreign trade to Red Star Defense Company. Over the past few months, ocean-going vessels bound for the Persian Gulf have largely maintained a three-month frequency.

In the next few days, the first ship to be sent out this year, and the second ship to carry out the contract delivery procedure, is the cargo of the Iraqi Darlam Company.

As the general agent, Red Star Factory has taken all the risks while obtaining a high profit share. Red Star Defense supplies according to the order placed by Red Star Hong Kong Branch, and Red Star Hong Kong Branch pays according to the contract. As for the foreign trade transactions with the two companies of Iran Puda and Iraq Daram, that is the matter of the Hong Kong branch of Red Star. To put it bluntly, it is the business of the Red Star Factory, and it has nothing to do with the Red Star Defense Company.

Moreover, now that the Red Star Plant is the majority shareholder of the Red Star Defense Company, it no longer matters who bears the risk. However, there are still shares of Zhenxing Company in the Red Star Defense Company, and there are quite a few of them, so Li Yaohua thought about asking Liu Guisong to notify the Red Star Defense Company.

The Red Star Wharf is no longer the semi-abandoned fishing port wharf it used to be. After large-scale construction, with the completion of the dredging of the channel, the waterway has the ability to pass 100,000 tons of ships, and the Red Star Wharf also has the ability to dock 100,000 tons of ships. Tens of thousands of tons of cargo ships docked directly, and two gantry cranes were loading and unloading goods around the clock.

Although there is only one loading and unloading berth, the port authority's ocean-going cargo terminal is not comparable to the advanced and busy level of port machinery.

When Li Yaohua arrived at the Hongxing Wharf, there were many vehicles parked in front of the two-story building of the Import and Export Business Comprehensive Office. It can be seen from the license plate that except for the cars of the Red Star Factory, they are all official vehicles, except for the cars of the city government.

Customs and border quarantine and inspection departments are vertical management departments, and if they want to seize your things, the city government can't interfere.

Liu Guisong stepped on the accelerator to catch up before Li Yaohua got out of the car, hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran over, and said to Li Yaohua, who had just gotten out of the car, "Factory director, I didn't find Secretary Zhou, saying that I went to the field with the leader to inspect." ”

His heart sank, and Li Yaohua asked, "Who is in charge of this matter?" ”

"It's Su Tong." Liu Guisong replied, "The third brother has explained before that he is in charge of the foreign trade work of the Red Star Factory, and he is not only the director of the External Relations Department of the Red Star Factory, but also one of the vice presidents of the Red Star Defense Company. ”

Li Yaohua knew about these situations, and when he asked at this time, it showed that his mind was already very messy. This unexpected situation is more serious than the city's request for renegotiation of the acquisition of the city's first construction company. The arms trade is the foundation of the Red Star Factory, anything can go wrong, and nothing can happen at all. Just like Yao Taihang and Ma Jintao said, put aside the other scattered branches and leaves, and first ensure the stability of the roots.

Li Yaohua has no impression of Su Tong, he probably only knows that Su Tong is a young teacher brought back from Shanghai by Li Lu, in his thirties, wearing glasses, and usually has no sense of existence, but he is responsible for the most important foreign trade business. The orders of Iran's Puda and Iraq's Dharam companies are all with him.

It's more mysterious than low-key. Su Tong's position is not high, although the External Relations Office is second only to the factory office in the Red Star Factory, but Su Tong is not the leader of the factory, and in the Red Star Defense Company, Su Tong is the vice president at the bottom of the ranking, and there are four vice presidents in front of him.

However, the work he is responsible for is the most critical and important link.

Many people know that the Red Star Factory organizes the supply of goods, and then loads them on ships and sends them to the destination of the cargo owner. But few people know how this process works. And Su Tong is the person in charge of this key link, as the deputy general manager of the Red Star Defense Company and the director of the External Relations Department of the Red Star Factory, he coordinates and arranges the supply of goods.

At that time, Li Lu asked him to concurrently serve as the vice president of the Red Star Defense Company as the director of the External Relations Department of the Red Star Factory, obviously with a comprehensive consideration.

It's just that even so, under the instructions of the state administration, you are helpless.

Liu Guisong followed Li Yaohua to the second floor in a hurry, and reported in a low voice, "Over there of the Red Star Defense Company, Comrade Chen Xiuping, the first vice president, has been notified that he is rushing here. ”

"That's good, Vice President Chen can come over, it should be no problem." Li Yaohua breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiuping is a cadre of Zhenxing Company stationed in the Red Star Defense Company, serving as the first deputy general manager, and he is under Li Lu. He is a deputy division cadre, serving in the Red Star Defense Company, representing the interests of the revitalization company.

Every shipment of goods goes out, which means a large amount of foreign exchange in hand. For the troops, who are desperately short of foreign exchange, this is the lifeline. If it weren't for the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool, which is an important weapon of the country, Fang Hecheng would not have taken the initiative to take out the shares of the Red Star Defense Company in the hands of Zhenxing Company in exchange.

Customs dare to seize the goods of the troops? Basically, they don't dare, and if it's a special case, they don't dare to do anything. The problem is that it was not the goods of the troops, not even the Red Star Defense Company, but the Red Star Plant!

Therefore, they have no worries.
