88. The machine was detained
Sanzang said goodbye to He Yushui and Lou Xiaochen to the door of the factory director's office, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door gently,
"Enter!" A middle-aged man's deep voice came from inside.
Huang Sanzang gently opened the door and asked Lou Xiaochen to go first.
"Who are you two?"
Lou Xiaochen stepped forward and handed over an English business card, and spoke fluent Hong Kong dialect.
Hearing this, Director Ma frowned and looked confused.
Seeing this, Huang Sanzang hurriedly stepped forward to translate,
"Hello, Director Ma! This is Mr. Lou Xiaochen, the general manager of HSZ Investment Company from Gangcheng.
He just made a big business with the Foreign Trade Bureau for up to 1.6 million marks.
It was Director Yang who introduced us, and this is a letter of introduction. ”
Director Ma took the letter of introduction and looked at it, and immediately became enthusiastic.
"It turned out to be introduced by the old leader, who did I think?
Sit sit, sit, sit! Is the old leader okay? I haven't been to visit him in a while! ”
"Not bad. This time, I'm going to trouble the director of the horse factory. ”
"What trouble is not troublesome! A little bit of a hand-held thing.
That's right! Who are you from General Manager Lou? I think he trusts you a lot. ”
"I was his part-time economic advisor. What's wrong? ”
"That's the case, if Mr. Lou has any business that the rolling mill can do in the future, in fact, we can also cooperate!"
Huang Sanzang understands that since 81 years, the state has allowed enterprises to sell some products under the premise of completing the plan.
Its price is determined by the market, which is known as the dual-track price system.
Now the country is suffering from "foreign exchange hunger", and every enterprise has the task of earning foreign exchange through exports.
If Mr. Ma is able to sell the unplanned products in foreign exchange, it will be of great benefit to the mill and to him personally.
"I see! If the opportunity is right, I will make a suggestion to Mr. Lou. ”
"Thank you so much then!" Director Ma raised his hand and looked at his watch,
"I don't think it's too early.
Or Mr. Lou and Consultant Huang had lunch at the rolling mill before leaving,
The convoy will not depart until the afternoon. ”
Huang Sanzang deliberately looked at Lou Xiaochen, and saw him nodding slowly,
"Thank you so much! Such a gracious invitation, but we are disrespectful! ”
"Good, good! Mr. Lou, please here! Consultant Huang please! ”
Huang Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen followed the director of the Ma factory to the small canteen of the rolling mill,
Revisiting the old place, Huang Sanzang has a feeling that things are not people.
"Director Huang?! Why are you here? ”
Suddenly an exclamation interrupted Huang Sanzang's thoughts, and after a closer look,
"Liu Lan?! You're still working in the cafeteria! ”
"Where do I care if I don't work in the cafeteria?"
"Hmmm! That's too. ”
"That's right! Didn't you transfer to teach at a university?
Are you back in tune? ”
"That's not it! I'm here to do something at the rolling mill today! ”
"Oh! I heard that Silly Zhu went to work in the small restaurant you opened and made a lot of money? ”
"It's alright! It's at the Gathering Friends Restaurant in Shichahai, you can also go to see it when you have time,
Maybe Silly Zhu misses you as an old friend! ”
"Okay! I'll have to check it out when I have time! ”
"Ahem, ahem!"
Director Ma's face was a little unsightly, and one of his cooks chatted with his distinguished guests, what was going on.
"I'm sorry! Mr. Ma! The dish will be ready immediately, so I'll bring it over. ”
"Go, go, go! Come on, come on! Mr. Lou and Consultant Huang, please take a seat! ”
"Director Ma, please!"
"How did Consultant Huang know a cook in our rolling mill?"
"To tell you the truth, I used to be the deputy director of the rolling mill for more than ten years, and I am also familiar with this small private room.
The current Director Yang was the director of the rolling mill at that time, and he can be regarded as my old leader! ”
"Oops! The flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't know the family.
We've just been polite for a long time! Let's have a few drinks later! ”
"Well said! The people at the rolling mill know that I can't drink much,
But you can have a few more drinks with Mr. Lou! ”
After speaking, Huang Sanzang also gently patted the arm of the factory director.
Director Ma understands, "Yes, yes, yes! I'm going to toast Mr. Lou with a few more glasses of wine. ”
After Huang Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen were full of wine and food, Director Ma personally sent the two to the rest room of the automobile team to rest, and then set off with the team when the time came.
He also personally beckoned the captain of the car team to take care of them, and when the matter was settled, he walked away with a brisk pace.
When there was no one in the lounge, Lou Xiaochen said to Huang Sanzang:
"That's not right! He, the director of a large factory with nearly 10,000 people, doesn't need to be so enthusiastic about us! ”
"You don't understand! He also wants to do business with us and earn some foreign exchange or something. ”
Huang Sanzang told him in detail about the dual-track price system.
"But we don't have any business to do with him now!"
"I don't have any good ideas right now, take it one step at a time, but it's right to have a good relationship with him.
At least in the future, it will be much more convenient to borrow the big trucks of the rolling mill. ”
"That's right."
At about 2:30 p.m., the two of them set off with the convoy and arrived at the outskirts of Haijin City after two and a half hours.
Huang Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen got off the bus near a bus stop, and Huang Sanzang called the car captain aside.
"Captain Yu! You just have to leave 10 cars after unloading. ”
After speaking, Huang Sanzang handed him another 300 yuan,
"You take the money first, and then invite the brothers to have a good meal tonight."
Captain Yu was also polite and took the money, "I thank you for my brothers!"
So how are we going to splice tomorrow? ”
"Tomorrow morning, you will drive the car to the cargo parking lot of Haijin Port, are you familiar with that place?"
"It's familiar! We often go there to pull goods! ”
"That's good! You don't have to go too early tomorrow, just arrive around 10 o'clock. ”
"Okay! We'll be there on time tomorrow! ”
Huang Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen found a hotel with good conditions near Haijin Port and opened two rooms to rest, and they didn't say anything all night.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Huang Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen came to the office hall of Haijin Port.
Through inquiry, he knew that the freighter had arrived at the port, and Lou Xiaochen took the documents to handle the pick-up and renewal.
Huang Sanzang wandered around the hall to understand the characteristics of customs affairs at this time.
When I was tired of shopping, I rested in the waiting area, and after waiting for a long time, Lou Xiaochen ran over sweating profusely.
"Things are in trouble! Our machine is detained! ”
"Why? You look at this? ”
Lou Xiaochen handed over a piece of paper, and Huang Sanzang took it and looked at it,
"Suspected of evading customs duties? Why? ”
"These old machines we import in the name of scrap metal,
However, the customs inspection found that it was an old machine, and the import tariffs of the two were very different.
And then say that we are suspected of evading customs duties! ”
"But these old machines are indeed going to be scrapped and sold for scrap iron in Xidu!"
"When I said this, the customs officers didn't believe it at all, saying that I had a problem with my brain, how could such a good machine be scrapped!"
"So what now?"
"Pay back duties and fines!"
"It can't be!"
"Why? That's not a lot! ”
"You don't understand! If we do, things will go bad.
We will be charged with evading customs duties, and your trading company's reputation will be ruined, and your company will be banned if we don't do it! ”
"What then?"
"That's right! Who told you about the back duty plus fine! ”
"A small leader of the customs staff."
"What else did he say?"
"He handed me a note asking me to go to this place to look for him during my lunch break, and he said he could help us.
Shall we go to him later? ”
"Show me the note!"
"Wow! There's only one address. ”
Huang Sanzang immediately tore it up after reading it and threw it into the trash.
"What are you?"
"Can't go to him!"
