"Qiming, find a way to buy some books or materials for me." Lin Yi said suddenly.

"Isn't there a book building?" He Qiming was surprised.

"Probably not, in Moussa's office, do you remember the Japanese, American, German, and Italian tools he showed us?" Lin Yidao.

Musa said that the mainland's tools were stupid, black and coarse, in order to prove his statement, he deliberately took out a bunch of tool materials to Lin Yi, and after comparison, Lin Yi had to admit that the domestic tools were indeed too rough.

He wanted to get some information and bring it to these domestic manufacturers, so that they could see what the factories outside were doing and what kind of products were more popular.

"Yes."

"I want that kind of information, not only metal tools, but also clothing, shoes and socks, jewelry, porcelain, furniture, equipment, stationery, and bags."

"As long as it is the product that we may involve in the future, the more information, the better, in fact, the products of the mainland, there is no problem in quality, more in the design and appearance of the unsatisfactory, people are visual animals, some things are often based on the first perception."

"For example, an apple that looks good may not be sweeter than an ugly one, but people still choose the beautiful one to buy."

He Qiming said: "Boss, you said a lot of these materials, so let's find someone to do this work." ”

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded.

"By the way, don't go back to the company, go to the telegraph office first, and I'll send a telegram to China."

Ho Qiming drove to the nearest telegraph office.

In the 80s, the means of communication were letters, telegrams, and telephones, and writing letters was too slow, and international calls might be used for anything, so Lin Yi decided to use telegraphs.

At the counter, Lin Yi asked for a telegram and a pen, thought about it and wrote:

"Mayor Yang, negotiate a tool order, 400,000 US dollars, need to be produced as soon as possible, the details are inconvenient to send, please send someone to Luohu Port as soon as possible to hand over the product directory, step up production to complete the order."

"Attached is the contact address, Hong Kong Trading Company Tel XXX--XXXXXX, Address: Room 818, 8th Floor, XX Building, Wan Chai.

Generator: Lin Yi. ”

Finally, fill in the recipient and the receiving address.

Now there is no network, there is no fax machine in Jiangcheng, there are so many product information, and it is the model and data, it is impossible to send it by telegram, and asking them to send people to Shenzhen to get the information is the fastest way.

It takes them about three or four days to come.

Lin Yi's side also happened to use this time to complete the relevant preparations.

Dididi~~Didi~~

The telecommunications department sent people to send the telegram to the government, and the staff members saw the telegram and immediately sent it to the office of District Mayor Yang.

"Leader, there's a telegram from Hong Kong."

District Mayor Yang was reviewing the documents, and when he heard the Hong Kong telegram, he didn't react for a while, who would send a telegram to himself from Hong Kong.

"I'll see."

The secretary hurriedly handed it over.

The content of the telegram is very simple, District Chief Yang has read it in a few glances, but after these few glances, District Chief Yang's face changed from surprise to joy and finally to excitement, and the change is called a fast.

"With an order of $400,000, this Xiaolin actually negotiated an order for hardware tools of $400,000."

Brush it up and stand up.

took the telegram to the office of the secretary of the district party committee, and said excitedly: "Secretary, look at this." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the telegram.

Secretary Dong looked at District Chief Yang who was excited, and said with a smile: "What is so exciting, but I rarely see you like this." ”

As he spoke, he took the telegram.

Sweep it all at once.

Secretary Dong looked up at District Mayor Yang, "$400,000, this is not a small order, is it confirmed?" ”

"Not yet, but I believe that Xiao Lin will not make such a joke with us, he must have eyebrows, didn't he ask us to send someone to get the information, this must be the merchant has been determined." Yang District Changdao.

The secretary nodded, picked up the cigarette on the table and handed it to District Mayor Yang, and the two lit it together, "Old Yang, I didn't expect to usher in a good start." ”

District Mayor Yang still couldn't hide his excitement, "I didn't expect this Xiaolin to get such a big order all of a sudden, last year's Canton Fair, there were only four or five companies in the province that were qualified to go, and finally brought back orders of 3.26 million US dollars, this kid, found one-eighth of the order volume at once." ”

It is not the money that the leaders are excited about, but the political achievements.

before

Qiaokou District decided to build the 'Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company'.

There are doubts in the province and city,

They are doing this work with the support of some leaders, and it is impossible to say that there is no apprehension in their hearts.

If it fails,

It may cost the whole political life.

There are no shortage of such examples.

Now that Lin Yi has sent a telegram and won an order of 400,000 yuan, he has made a big start to the 'Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company', and some voices can be appropriately eliminated.

Secretary Dong said, "Lao Yang, this matter can't go wrong, I need to confirm it again, after confirmation, I will report to the city and province, isn't there a phone on the telegram, if you want to go over the international call, just call in my house." ”

District Chief Yang nodded.

Picked up the phone on the table and shook it vigorously, "Hey, transfer me to the province..."

Bell bell bell ~ bell bell bell ~~.

The phone in the general manager's office of the foreign trade company rang, and He Qiming picked it up and answered, "Lei roar, I am He Qiming, do you have something to do?" ”

The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and said in Chinese: "Excuse me, I want to find Lin Yi, is it this call?" ”

He Qiming also lived in the mainland before, although his hometown is Guangdong, but he has also been in contact with Chinese, the other party's words can be roughly understood, hearing the other party looking for Lin Yi, He Qiming covered the earpiece, and said to Lin Yi who was reading the information next to him:

"Boss, looking for you, mainland accent."

Lin Yi immediately realized that it might be a staff member of the Qiaokou District Government, and went over to answer the phone, "Hello, I'm Lin Yi." ”

"Hey Xiaolin, I'm Yang Zhicheng, I've finally found you, it's really hard to call international calls." Said on the other end of the phone.

"Hello District Mayor Yang, I'm Xiaolin, I didn't expect you to call in person." Lin Yi said loudly.

The current phone signal is not of good quality, and you need to shout loudly to hear it.

"Xiaolin, I received the telegram, I want to confirm with you, whether the order has been confirmed, this is very important, you need to report to your superiors, there can be no mistakes." District Mayor Yang asked.

"The leader can rest assured that the contract has been signed, and the other party will make a deposit today, and the deposit will be 20%." Lin Yidao.

When District Mayor Yang heard Lin Yi's words, a hanging heart finally landed.

"Great, Xiaolin, you did a good job, where is the other party?"

"Saudi."

"Does the other party have any other requirements?"

"The specific details are in the contract materials, please take it back to the comrades to study carefully, be sure to ensure the quality, once the quality is not up to standard, foreign businessmen will refuse to accept ......."

The two talked about a lot of details on the phone, and District Chief Yang was reluctant to put down the phone, the joy on his face did not dissipate, Secretary Dong listened to it with his ears on the side, and he heard the conversation between the two clearly, so he didn't need to repeat it.

"Okay, I'll report this matter to the city leaders now, Lao Yang, you will arrange for someone to go to Shenzhen to get information now, find reliable people, by the way, call Lao Wang of our district hardware products factory, and explain to him to be ready to meet the order, and the order must be completed within the specified time with quality and quantity."

"Okay secretary, I'll go now." District Mayor Yang responded happily.

The two went their separate ways,

One arranges work, and the other reports to the leader.

There is no secret to this kind of thing, and not long after Secretary Dong reported to the leaders, the entire Jiangcheng enterprises knew about it, and before the evening, almost the entire enterprises in Hu Province also knew about it.

$400,000.

This is not a small order.

Last year, the province had more than $3 million in foreign exchange orders, but now the country's foreign exchange reserves are less than $200 million, and there is a huge shortage of foreign exchange, and $400,000 is one-500 percent of the entire country's foreign exchange reserves.

No one dares not to pay attention to it,

No one is not greedy.

However, this order is for hardware tools, and other companies can only watch it, and they have nothing to do.

And the leaders of those hardware tool factories are active.

Started asking around,

Someone asked the relationship,

Some people went directly to District Mayor Yang or Secretary Dong.

"This matter does exist, we have made arrangements, and the hardware tool processing factory in our district will complete this order very well." Mayor Yang replied.

The news that District Chief Yang said flew out again.

Those hardware companies that are looking forward to being able to drink a mouthful of soup are gone, and the order of 400,000 US dollars, you want to swallow it alone, no way.

No way

Find a leader,

Complain.

The directors of other hardware factories in the city called the leaders of Jiangcheng City, and the directors of hardware factories in other cities complained to their own leaders, and the city leaders of these cities called the province again.

This night,

It's not lively.

It can be described as "the entire northwest of Shanxi into a pot of porridge".

At the morning meeting of the team the next day, the $400,000 order became the focus of the discussion.

The two leaders of Qiaokou District were first called to the city and reported the whole thing in the conference room, but before it was over, the provincial notice called them over, and they went to the province non-stop to report to the provincial leaders again.

Finally, there is the discussion.

Whether to let Qiaokou District eat it by itself, or take it out and let other cities share a point, the leaders have their own opinions.

Mayor Yang sat in the corner.

Now this matter has no part for him to speak.

The meeting finally decided that the order was divided, and the goods of 400,000 US dollars were not a small number, and a factory may not be able to complete it in a short time.

But the quality and quantity must be guaranteed, and there can be no mistakes, and a leader is specially appointed to keep an eye on this matter.

After the meeting,

The leaders affirmed the work of Qiaokou District and affirmed the work of the two Dong secretaries and Yang District Mayor.

The provincial leader instructed: "This road seems to be on the right track, since it is right, then carry it forward well, Qiaokou District has set an example for everyone, and other cities can also set up such an overseas Chinese friendship trading company by themselves." ”
