Beijing, conference room on the third floor of the Ministry of Industry.

After the second half of the meeting began, Zhong Bai felt more and more that something was getting wrong.

First of all, Bradley, a stupid technical engineer in the morning, suddenly became as if he had opened his mind, and the problem of the Soviet-style air compressor continued to be solved quickly, and promised not to charge a penny more in this regard, so that Director Qi Xiu had to start re-examining their plan.

Wilson, the deputy director of sales of the White Mining Equipment Manufacturing Plant, who has always held his head high and looked at people with his nostrils, suddenly softened, not only in the morning when he was not willing to concede even a penny, he took the initiative to reduce the one-time plan investment of $24 million to $22 million, not to mention, but also took the initiative to pat his chest for the first time that the installment payment of the mine could be accepted, up to six installments, with a single period of two months, as long as the down payment was $4 million, they dared to call MD Domestic. Have all your equipment ashore in the port of San Francisco!

This unusual move of concession made Zhong Bai feel threatened.

Director Qi Xiu, who had already firmly chosen the single hydraulic pillar roof method, was also slightly shaken after hearing these conditions in the afternoon.

In addition, Director Janet timely proposed that as long as the agreement of intent can be signed as soon as possible for this program procurement, then she will continue to find and formulate some export and foreign exchange earning plans for the Planning Division in some cities on the west coast of MD China!

This is what makes Qi Xiu's heart move the most!

The purchase of an automatic drilling and blasting system, in any case, consumes the domestic foreign exchange reserves, which means that there is only out, not in.

But Janet's statement is obviously very different, meaning "I won't let you buy it for nothing!" Subsequently, she directly promised in front of the Planning Department in the capacity of the director of the Asian Development Agency of the MD Economic Department that she would find a way to contact a batch of mechanical and electrical products for OEM export, with an amount of 5 million US dollars!

There is no doubt that the OEM export of mechanical and electrical products, although it is an export of industrial products with very low added value, can also bring foreign exchange earnings.

And in 1982, the OEM export of mechanical and electrical products was mainly done by some medium-sized enterprises in Hujiang, although this is light industry, but whether it is light industry or heavy industry, it is under the management of the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry is not just in charge of you Tianhe Province, Hujiang City, the most economically developed municipality directly under the central government of China, their attitude towards foreign exchange earning is also the more the better!

Qi Xiu pondered in his heart that if there was really this $5 million foreign exchange income from OEM of mechanical and electrical products, then it could obviously be used as the results of the Planning Department and the Hujiang Municipal Department of Industry in the first half of this year.

This is different from the incident in Heyuan City, Tianhe Province is dragging the ministry into the water, even if it is to extinguish the fire, and the fire fighting is meritorious, it is only to reduce the loss, after all, the bauxite mine has been losing money for a year, and turning losses into profits is not a matter of one or two days.

But if you get 5 million US dollars of foreign exchange income to Hujiang City, it will be a completely different scene, because this is a sudden surprise, and it is definitely a plus point.

Compared with the two, although Zhong Bai's plan is cheaper and seems to be safer, it seems to be missing something compared with this macro benefit.

And on MD's side, the automatic drilling and blasting system lowered its price, and immediately agreed to pay in installments, it seems that it really wants to do this business, and it doesn't look so ugly at first, you must know that MD takes the initiative to reduce the price, which rarely happens in this world, which can't help but make Qi Xiu a little difficult.

Seeing Qi Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, Janet smiled and said nothing, it seems that her noon arrangement has begun to take effect!

Hehe, Chinese people, you are very shrewd, but you lack experience in this area!

In addition to you, we often deal with other countries, rich to Europe, the countries with the highest per capita income in the world, and poor to those countries in Africa that can't even eat, we MD can successfully sell our products and solutions at the "right" price, and make them dependent on the corresponding technology of their own countries, so that they can steadily collect high upstream fees year after year, and ensure income in drought and flood.

Now, a little bit of sweetness has been thrown to you, and this Mr. Director seems to be very hesitant.

I don't know, when will the effect of that phone call at noon be shown?

Just as Qi Xiu was quietly thinking about the pros and cons, a staff member suddenly walked into the conference room, came straight to him, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What?!" Qi Xiu's face, which was only slightly thoughtful just now, suddenly became surprised and even a little angry!

He immediately grabbed his notebook and pen, and said to the MD trio across the table: "I'm sorry, three foreign guests, we have an urgent matter to deal with in our department, something to discuss, can you pause it today, and we will have a meeting tomorrow?" I'm really sorry! ”

Wilson and Bradley were noncommittal and immediately turned their eyes to Janet.

Although Zhong Bai didn't know what news Qi Xiu had just heard that made his attitude change so much, he subconsciously thought that the female director of MD would obviously not miss such a good opportunity to ask for a price, and would definitely be tough again......

Janet suddenly smiled, this smile was not a smirk, but a smile that was a little sincere and had a hint of understanding, and nodded: "Okay, since Mr. Director agreed unconditionally when we proposed to extend the meeting in the morning, then we should be consistent with each other now." We agreed to pause and resume the meeting tomorrow morning. However, when will the results of our negotiations come out? ”

Hearing that Janet did not make any changes in the conditions, Qi Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned his head and said to the comrades attending the meeting in the division: "Everyone go back to their respective offices immediately to work!" ”

Then Qi Xiu thought for less than two seconds, and then said to Janet: "Within 24 hours! ”

Janet smiled with satisfaction, and walked away with Wilson and Bradley on the buttocks.

After the MD trio left, Qi Xiu ordered Deputy Director Ma Yingsheng and Zhong Bai beside him: "Yingsheng, Zhong Bai, you guys go to my office together!" Walk! ”

This tone was very unusual, at least Ma Yingsheng rarely heard Qi Xiu speak to himself in such a tone of forced emotion.

Qi Xiu's steps were so fast that even Zhong Bai felt that he was no longer walking, but trotting, causing him and Ma Yingsheng to fall behind by half a beat.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhong Bai asked in a low voice, "Director Ma, what happened?" ”

"I don't know, but I'm afraid it's not a good thing......" Ma Yingsheng shook his head and frowned.

When he came to Qi Xiu's director's office, Ma Yingsheng directly closed the door.

Qi Xiu hurriedly walked to the desk and saw two pieces of paper on the table, so he immediately picked them up and looked at them carefully, and then handed them to Ma Yingsheng and Zhong Bai next to him, and sighed.

"Hey, here's the phone call just now, take a look. Something happened to the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City! ”
