[363] The heart has secrets, like sitting on pins and needles

By the time the two sides reached a preliminary contract agreement, it was already noon, Xiaoqiang accompanied everyone to lunch, fortunately, Minister Shen did not like to drink, so Xiaoqiang escaped.

During the banquet, Minister Shen suddenly asked Cao Xiaoqiang, who was sitting next to him: "Xiaoqiang, the Ministry of Railways is currently experimenting with the joint-stock system, is your company interested in participating in some joint-stock cooperation of railways?" ”

Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, looked at Minister Shen carefully, and made sure that Minister Shen was serious.

"Minister Shen, Xiexie, you lift me up!

However, our company has just started, and its business is mainly in Africa, and all the funds are for Africa. If I were asked to spare money to participate in the railway restructuring, I really couldn't afford it. I estimate that at least tens of billions of dollars will be invested, right?

I have heard that the Ministry of Railways has been losing money at home, and the profit margins of overseas construction projects are also very low, and a nine-year Nigerian railway project with a total contract value of 8.3 billion US dollars is hardly profitable if you factor in the thin profits caused by the depreciation of the dollar.

Minister Shen, the contracts I have brought to the Ministry of Railways now are all real money, and at a glance, the ministry has billions in hand, and a bunch of old goods have been thrown off. These are pure profits, which are much better than projects that don't make much money in nine years. ”

In Xiaoqiang's mind, the Ministry of Railways is in debt at the moment, and all he can do is to try to help the iron boss get rid of some burdens and exchange some cash, no matter how many things he does, I am afraid that he will be powerless.

Under Minister Shen's thick eyebrows, he looked at Xiao Qiang with two bright eyes, and said solemnly: "Xiao Qiang, don't worry, your company's contribution department will remember it for you." In fact, the Ministry of Defense has also greeted the ministry, and the country will not forget you as a patriotic businessman like you.

The ministry has already lost more than 4 billion yuan in the first half of the year, and it is expected to lose even more next year. After the restructuring, the transportation price will fluctuate according to the market demand.

Passenger transport is related to the convenience of the people's lives, not considering the adjustment for the time being, the freight will definitely be adjusted, about the first increase of about one percent, this alone, can increase profits by more than 20 billion, with the current financial situation of the ministry, immediately can turn losses into profits. ”

Xiaoqiang listened to this inside news, and felt that he suddenly became taller, when did he become the first batch of insiders of inside information.

"Minister Shen, the price increase is long overdue, the railway is a service industry, and a service industry can not increase prices for 17 years, and only state-owned enterprises can do it. I don't understand that weishenme must stick to the price of cabbage until it loses, and then under the pretext of loss, after dividing the family property, he began to raise the price to make money, and went into their own pockets.

At present, the freight cost is one cent and five cents per ton, plus one penny, the ministry will increase its income by 20 billion, and there will be no price increase for 17 years, which has certainly promoted economic development, but railway employees are also people, and they also have to eat, I heard that the railway grassroots employees have not increased their wages for a long time. ”

Minister Shen said: "Since you are not interested, then forget it." But where did the 110-kilometer African railway you invested in come from? ”

Xiaoqiang said nonsense according to what he thought in advance: "Anisok from Equatorial Guinea to Bata. ”

Minister Shen saw Xiaoqiang's eyes flickering, so he stopped asking.

……………………

Now the scale of Xiaoqiang International Trading Company is quite large, and with more and more employees, the one-story office building can no longer meet the demand.

After returning to the office, Xiaoqiang instructed Zhou Lan: "Zhou Lan, how is the office building you fancy talking?" ”

When it comes to buying a new office building, Zhou Lan, who has just returned to the company from lunch at the hotel, is excited: "65,000 square meters, at the intersection of Xiaoying North Road and Beiyuan Road, more than 200 meters out of the subway line 5, the developer asked for 2.5 billion, I gave back 2.4 billion, I asked the brokerage company, they also think the price is about the same." However, the developer took the land in 08, plus the construction cost, it is only about 800 million, which is really profitable. ”

"In the past few years, the price of office buildings in Beidu has been running up, there is no way, I see 2.4 billion lines, take it as soon as possible, and quickly renovate and move over. Look at how our floor has become. There is no room for an entire floor downstairs in Jintai Xiangda. Xiao Qiang said.

"Well, it's a bit crowded. Mr. Cao, I estimate that the total number of employees in our company will exceed 1,000 by the end of the year! ”

Xiaoqiang was startled and said, "How can there be so many?" ”

Zhou Lan was a little dissatisfied with Xiaoqiang's indifference, and said: "You are engaged in procurement in every industry, and now the company has more than 30 categories of procurement departments, which is just spending money."

In terms of making money, the company's sapphire business has also set up an international trade department, a national sales headquarters for timber, and a national sales headquarters for diamonds, jade, and precious metals has also been established in accordance with your requirements. ”

Xiaoqiang clicked on the computer's confrontation and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, but fortunately, there are such capable talents as you to help me manage the company." ”

Zhou Lan said depressedly: "I don't think the level is enough, I read management books every day, you are good, as soon as you come back from a business trip, you will play against each other, and you will have a lot of fun!" ”

Xiaoqiang said: "This shows that the company is on the track, I just need to sign, and it is naturally getting easier and easier." Zhou Lan, you do a good job, I'm optimistic about you! ”

Zhou Lan sneered and shook her head out of Xiaoqiang's office.

Seeing Zhou Lan walk out of the office, the smile on Xiaoqiang's face disappeared.

As a man full of secrets, he felt more and more lonely now. No matter where he was on the two planes, a sense of depression caused by a secret in his heart always made him breathless.

He irritably closed the window that had just been opened, picked up his phone and dialed out.

On the third day of his return in 2011, he called Murong Ruolan for the first time.

"Hey, Xiaolan, I'm back."

"Well, I just came back."

"Okay, then I'll pick you up for dinner after work."

Xiaoqiang hung up the phone and took a long breath. I took the procurement list from the Ministry of Defense piled up on the desk and looked at it carefully.

This time, the Ministry of Defense gave a bunch of product catalogs of subordinate military enterprises, and all kinds of products were readily available.

Xiaoqiang took a microphone pen and sketched directly on the picture color page.

"The shelter power station is used for power supply in the camp area, and as a backup power supply for hospitals, bases, and scientific research institutes after a power outage in the urban area.

500KW automotive power station, for field command posts, field hospitals, small airfield military stations, field artillery control centers, well, the more the merrier.

The 75KW dual-frequency automobile power station provides power for the gun-sighting radar, well, and some spare parts should also be purchased.

The 12KW power station trailer is used for wartime power supply, medical aid, and logistics maintenance for company-level troops.

Power generation bathing car, with 30KW power generation and hot water boiler, power generation and bathing dual-purpose, comes with a decontamination spray gun, can be used for spray cleaning and disinfection of the biochemical environment, well, want.

Field staple food processing trucks, six people process staple food for 900 people per hour, well, you have to buy a lot.

The overall self-loading and unloading field refueling vehicle is used for fuel support for cluster tank armored vehicles, transport vehicles and other equipment under field conditions, and can refuel four targets at the same time, and the body oil tank can be quickly loaded and unloaded and replaced by itself.

Field camping vehicles, high-source water purification cooking vehicles, self-propelled cooking vehicles, food refrigerated vehicles, cabin vehicles......

Just a directory of electric power and field mobile support equipment factories tired Xiaoqiang, and he roughly selected a part. I pondered that I would first bring back enough equipment to supply the Korean War, and as for whether I would want it in the future, I would leave it to the Central Committee in 1950 to decide.

The next step is to arrange the procurement tasks assigned in 1950, which is easy to do, and it is just handed over to the various departments of the company in different categories.

stayed up until the end of work, Xiaoqiang jumped up and rushed out of the office......
