After a while, the three leaders left, leaving only Wang Ye standing in place, letting out a long sigh of relief.

If the gray-haired leader in the end left Wang Ye with ardent expectations, then the leader of Quancheng City made Wang Ye feel his urgency and urgency.

Thinking about it, his pressure is also quite big, as a provincial city, it stands to reason that it should be the big brother of the province, but the most important foreign exchange earning work at present has been surpassed by the former third of ten thousand years, who can stand it!

Moreover, the problems and pressures of the Quancheng Motorized Bicycle Factory are also real, and there are currently more than 2,300 workers in this factory, including at least tens of thousands of large collectives and their families.

How can there be no less pressure?

In addition, in the past two years, the variety and quality of various motorcycle products produced by factories in other regions have been improved, even if there is some regional protection, but it is still constantly impacting the local motorcycle market in Luqi Province.

In this case, there will be no production without sales, no money without production, the efficiency of the factory will not be able to pull up, and all kinds of problems will become more and more acute!

In fact, this is also the reason why Wang Ye is reluctant to take over the Quancheng Light Cavalry.

In the future, it is the fundamental reason to engage in the industrial chain, but it is not the direct reason, and the direct reason is that the leaders of this factory have problems, if Wang Ye is not able to do it like the dignitaries of the Ministry of Defense of the Fifth Machinery Department, as long as the workers do not want cadres, plus the emperor is far away, in the end it will definitely become yellow mud into the crotch, not is, and the level of workers in this factory is also difficult to guarantee, because they just merged the sewing machine factory last year.

God knows what the connection between the bicycle factory and the sewing machine factory can be merged, is it because they are both one of the three major pieces in the seventies?

Let's talk about the entire industrial chain of the province.

Wang Ye is very sure that this plan will greatly promote regional economic development, although there are many difficulties, but in this era, why is there no difficulty? How can you succeed if you don't overcome difficulties?

If we can seize the opportunity, it is really possible for Luqi Province, which is located in central China, has a large plain area, abundant human resources, and has a deep-water port like Qindao.

And Wang Ye and the Red Star Consortium only got a little insignificant benefit.

That is to cultivate a complete upstream and downstream industrial chain and suppliers.

In this way, as the core part of the complete industrial chain, the Red Star Consortium at the core of production, education and research can put more energy and money into schools, scientific research, high-end technology guidance, high-end product production, future science and technology exploration, etc., and the low-end production is directly contracted to the upstream and downstream industrial chain and supporting units, and under the support of these units, to ensure a higher level of profits, feed back to schools and scientific research, and finally drive the iteration and upgrading of the upstream and downstream industrial chain. Participate in global competition with stronger products and obtain the "original accumulation" of the new era.

"You have to eat one bite at a time!"

In the end, Wang Ye shook his head and muttered, turned around and returned to the square.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ye, who had lunch in Quancheng, returned to the consortium by car, and it was already evening when he arrived, and the next day was still the National Day holiday, so Wang Ye finally rested for a day.

October 3rd.

Because September was busy with production and there were no other big things happening, the big meeting at the end of the month was not held, and it was postponed by Wang Ye to today, at eight o'clock in the morning, the conference room in the new office building was already full.

The first machinery factory, the second iron and steel factory, the secondary school department, and the research institute gathered four major units.

"The diesel engine production line has been built, and the surrounding ancillary production equipment has also been installed, and the second round of commissioning is currently underway, as well as worker training related work, and the supporting parts manufacturers have been communicated through the Industrial Bureau."

"The electroslag furnace was assembled and preheated last week, and the first round of testing will take place this week."

"The wreckage analysis has been completed, and it has been determined that there is a problem with the uniformity of the medicine column, and the improved process has been determined, and trial production will be carried out this week, and then a vibrating bench experiment will be carried out."

"Production lines for motorcycles and tricycles are in the process of being built, and trial production may be possible before the New Year."

"The small pickup, small six-wheeled off-road vehicle, and four-wheel light truck projects are progressing smoothly, and they have now entered the prototype road testing process, and it will take at least a month to test and adjust."

"The docking of the project is going well, and the modification program of the pickup truck and six-wheeled off-road vehicle on the grenade weapon is underway."

"The production of the 59-k fire support vehicle is progressing well, more than thirty units have been produced so far, and the Ministry of Defense hopes that we can conduct joint tests with them, and if all the tests are to be completed in half a year, they believe that at least ten test vehicles are needed"

"The mechanical gyroscope project is progressing well, samples have been produced, and construction work is underway for quantitative production."

"The progress of the LSI project team is not very optimistic, we need more relevant technical personnel, and I have pulled a list, all of which are more worthy of invitation in this field in China."

"The optical project is progressing steadily and orderly, the first medium-sized lens has been rolled off the production line, and the smoothness, flatness, and transmittance have performed well, which proves that the direction you said before is right, and the next focus is on lens materials, polishing technology, coating technology, etc."

"The armor project as a whole is still in the exploration period, and we have tested a variety of composite materials, as for the ceramic composite materials you said the factory director, we do not have the relevant production capacity, this is the equipment purchase application."

"The compressor and picture tube project is progressing well and it is expected that the finished product will be available by the new year."

"The rally schedule is going on as usual."

Sitting at the top of the conference room, Wang Ye heard the reports of various departments and project teams, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head, sometimes laughing helplessly, sometimes making some approvals, and soon the time came to eleven o'clock in the morning.

Wang Ye closed the note in his hand, glanced around the crowd and said:

"Overall, the projects are progressing well, and I'm very gratified."

"Next, we need the heads of each project team to continue to grasp and continue to advance in a steady and orderly manner."

"Then finally, I would also like to talk about my work plan as a factory director."

Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye continued:

"Today is October 3rd, I need to make a simple preparation, about the seventh or eighth day, go abroad for a business trip, the destination is the Middle East, the first stop is Saudi Arabia, and then I may go to Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Iraq, Egypt and other countries."

"But not necessarily, it depends on the situation, the key is Saudi Arabia."

"As for the reason, I won't repeat it, at present, our sales channel used to be single, and customer demand was relatively low-end."

"We need a higher-end, broader sales channel."

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, no one present expressed too much surprise, after all, Wang Ye had already said that he was going to Saudi Arabia more than a month ago, and Wang Ye's Arabic language was simply authentic, so there were no other problems.

As for the statement that he is on a business trip for the factory director, no one has mentioned even one mouthful, after all, there are only one or two people present who can speak Arabic, and the level can only be a simple conversation, such as are you delicious.

"Director, do you need someone to come with you?"

In the end, Li Baojun looked left and right and asked, and Wang Ye waved his hand with a smile and said:

"No, this time it's different from the Canton Fair."

"It's inconvenient if there are too many people, either it's okay over there, and if there's something, you're not qualified to be a bodyguard."

After answering Li Baojun's question, Wang Ye glanced around, and everyone smiled again and said:

"As for the time, the shortest should be about ten days, and the longest may take a month."

"If there are any other changes, I will also send a telegram back, and during the time I am away, many matters within the consortium will be entrusted to you."

"Senior, when I am not there, you temporarily take the position of factory director as the executive deputy factory director."

"Just follow the step-by-step order, if there is any unexpected problem that is not very important, you can call everyone to a meeting to decide, if you really can't decide, call the Fifth Machine Department and the Ministry of National Defense, the Song Command of the Theater, and Director Li of the Industrial Bureau for help."

"If it doesn't work, just drag it out, okay?"

Faced with Wang Ye's entrustment, the old factory director nodded with a tense face and said:

"Don't worry, there is an old man!"

Wang Ye is still relatively relieved about the current internal consortium as a whole, but in case someone outside does something, he still pulled the old factory director out, after all, if anyone really wants the consortium to get better and better, the first one is definitely the old factory director.

"Alright, that's the end of today's meeting."

When the rest of the conference room dispersed, Wang Ye let out a long sigh.

The next trip will determine whether the Red Star Consortium can take off, if it can hook up with the big dog, then the future is easy to say, if it can't hook up, then the next road will be a little bumpy.

As for confidence, Wang Ye definitely has it, but he can't talk about it.

Then returned to his office, Wang Ye began to report, after all, in this era, going abroad is not something that can be imagined, you need to get permission from the higher authorities, you need to get foreign exchange quotas, and then you need to get passports and visas and other issues.

The first thing Wang Ye needs to write is two applications, one is biased towards the official and will be submitted to the Yuntai Municipal Industrial Bureau, and the second is biased towards the statement, which will be submitted to the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense through Director Liang, which can be regarded as a record.

In the second application, Wang Ye asked vaguely, in addition to the normal diplomatic personnel of the country, there are any other staff members there, in case there is any special situation, Wang Ye can still know who to ask for help?

Then Wang Ye had to approve a note for himself, a foreign exchange note.

Now the consortium as a large foreign exchange earner, has a certain "foreign exchange self-retention" power, the previous Canton Fair, 15 million used to introduce diesel engine production line, the rest of the basic for the consortium expansion project and procurement, but fortunately Kikwete sent another order in time, that is, the huge order worth about 18 million, most of which have become foreign exchange subsidies, the consortium only retained 8 million, in case of emergency.

But the eight million dollars were not in the account of the consortium, but in the account of the Industrial Bureau, which was escrow to put it bluntly.

Therefore, if Wang Ye wants to use this foreign exchange, he needs to show a foreign exchange slip that has been approved by the factory and submit it to the Industrial Bureau for approval again, and only after this approval can he get the US dollar.

"$100,000, is that enough?"

Anyway, he filled in the number by himself, signed and stamped himself, Wang Ye did not hesitate to write down the handwriting of 100,000 US dollars, anyway, the maximum US dollar is 100,000, and 100,000 is ten bundles, which is not much, unlike the 100,000 in unity.

In the afternoon, the application to the Fifth Aircraft Department and the Ministry of National Defense was sent to Director Liang by the staff of the consortium who went to Quancheng, and Director Liang submitted it again.

The next morning, Wang Ye went to Yuntai City.

Yuntai City, Industrial Development Bureau, Industrial Development Office.

"Oh, rare guest!"

"Why did you kid think about coming here?"

Wang Ye knocked on the door, and as soon as he pushed the door open when he heard the answer from inside, Director Li said with a smile.

"The main thing is to come and see you."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm panicking!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Director Li stood up and scolded with a smile:

"It's disgusting to say it at such a young age."

"Sit, let's talk about something first!"

Director Li also knows Wang Ye very well, and he is definitely a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so if he came suddenly, not even on the phone, there must be something.

Then the two sat down opposite each other on the cloth sofa, and after the secretary poured the tea, Wang Ye took out two documents and said:

"I'm going to go abroad, this is an application, this is a foreign exchange note."

Director Li was not too surprised by Wang Ye's request, because Wang Ye had mentioned this matter before, but he just said it casually at the time, and now it is on the agenda.

"Okay, go by yourself? Stay safe. ”

"Foreign countries are not as good as domestic ones, and those who are not familiar with the place of life should be careful in everything."

Director Li said while signing the application directly, if this is an ordinary state-owned factory to apply, not to mention the matter of whether it will pass or not, just whether there is a need to go abroad, a few people go out, the people who go out are not reliable, at least they have to discuss and investigate for three months!

Who made Wang Ye now a fragrant bait, and the Red Star Consortium is a big foreign exchange earner? If a big household wants to go out and run for performance, who dares to say no? Next year, there will be less foreign exchange earnings, who can afford the responsibility?

"Okay, forex bars"

As soon as Director Li picked up the foreign exchange slip, the whole person seemed to be petrified in an instant, and then he took the slip closer, looked at it carefully three times, and then asked with a look of disbelief:

"I said Wang Ye, did you make a mistake?"

"Write a thousand dollars into a hundred thousand dollars?"

In today's era, if you can get a foreign exchange quota of two or three hundred dollars for a trip, it is already unbelievable, and although the state has no clear regulations in this regard, the standard of living per person who normally goes abroad is only three or five dollars per day, which is still the level of cadres of ministries and commissions, and more cannot be approved, and ordinary state-owned factory people, unless it is a unit that earns foreign exchange, can not go out normally at all, so that the living expenses plus accommodation, travel, business trip subsidies, etc., take ten days abroad as an example, you can have sixty or seventy dollars in hand. That's pretty good!

For these sixty or seventy dollars, I have to save money, eat free dry bread every day, save it and exchange it for foreign exchange coupons when I return to China, and then find relatives and friends to get together, change it in the black market, and take it to the friendship store to buy imported electrical appliances.

"Of course it's not wrong, it's 100,000 dollars."

"We're going out to do business, not the leaders going to do some kind of negotiation."

"Then naturally the cost is a little bigger, after all, when you talk about business with customers, you can't always stand on the street and drink the northwest wind while talking, right?"

"Inviting a customer to a meal costs money, doesn't it? You can't let customers please, right? ”

Although what Wang Ye said was reasonable and well-founded, Director Li could also approve it, but looking at the strip in front of him, he still scratched his head worriedly, and finally sighed and said:

"What you say makes sense, but this money is really too much, 100,000 entertainment expenses, this is unreasonable!"

"And if someone attacks you, it's going to be a big problem!"

"So, 20,000, 20,000 is okay? Not a lot! ”

Then the two of them argued on the basis of reason, and finally Director Li approved 50,000 yuan, now there is no way, the country's foreign exchange is tight, it is good to earn foreign exchange, and it is difficult to spend foreign exchange, plus Wang Ye's reason is reasonable but it can't be put on the surface, it is even more difficult, this is also because it is Wang Ye, if it is someone else, Director Li directly spat him with an old phlegm, 100,000 US dollars? What a calf! !

"Okay, 50,000 is 50,000."

Anyway, Wang Ye estimated such a situation when he wrote 100,000, and it was enough to cut it in half.

In the next few days, Wang Ye applied for passports and visas, as well as various preparations.

October 7th.

Wang Ye came to Yanjing International Airport.
