Chapter 176: Kickbacks

"Huh?" Duan Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "Then what do you use to produce plastic products?"

"You come with me. Xu Fugui said to Duan Yun.

Then, Duan Yun followed Xu Fugui out of the cave and into the village.

When they entered the backyard of the village committee, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, which turned out to be a large number of waste plastics piled up in the courtyard at this time, like a hill.

"Our scrap station buys plastic for two cents and two pounds, and I arrange for people in the village to ride bicycles to buy from door to door for two cents and five pounds, which is much cheaper than buying from a chemical plant......," Xu Fugui said with a smile.

"Uh. Duan Yun was suddenly stunned when he heard this.

Obviously, Xu Fugui's opening of this village-run plastic factory is definitely not a whim, but has been prepared for a long time.

The cost of purchasing high-quality plastic products directly from chemical factories is indeed high, and the cost can be reduced by at least half through the method of waste recycling, and the price of plastic products used in rural areas is cheap and there is no high requirement for product quality, so Xu Fugui's method of recycling waste products in processing is very suitable for his village-run enterprises.

As for the toxic and polluting situation of this kind of plastic processing, the state has been very lax in the management of environmental protection in recent years, and Duan Yun has already spent money in the village to build a sewage pond, and will use some technical means to avoid serious pollution to the village in the future.

Duan Yun naturally hopes that Xu Fugui can run this plastic factory well, after all, Duan Yun has shares and dividends, and if the production technology of the plastic factory here in Ma Junying matures, Duan Yun can also use this factory to produce things like the shells of electrical appliances for himself, which can be regarded as a win-win situation.

"By the way, do you have any good sales channels after your plastic products are made?" Duan Yun asked.

"I'm going to try to sell it at the markets in other villages and towns first, and I should be able to sell it at a cheaper price. Xu Fugui pondered for a while, and then said: "In addition, I will contact a few supply and marketing cooperatives to see if I can establish a supply and marketing relationship with them......

"This is not easy...... Duan Yun frowned slightly, and then said: "The supply and marketing cooperatives sell products from large state-owned factories, no matter in terms of workmanship quality, your small workshop has no competitive advantage." ”

"I know this, but if we don't cooperate with state-run store supply and marketing cooperatives, if we don't cooperate with state-run stores, sales won't go up......," Xu Fugui obviously thought about this problem.

"Actually, the quality of your factory's products is poor, but there is still an advantage in price......" Duan Yun thought for a while, and then said: "If you are willing to give some kickbacks to those stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, things will be much easier......"

"Rebate?" Xu Fugui was stunned when he heard this, it was obviously the first time he had heard such words.

It was from the eighties that kickbacks were eaten commercially in the country.

Before the 80s at the earliest, there was basically no such thing as eating kickbacks in China, because in the era of planned economy, all material products were purchased and sold in a unified manner, and the prices were also set by the state, and there were no individual and private enterprises, so there was no soil for breeding kickbacks.

After the reform and opening up, with the rise of individual and private enterprises, as well as the country's liberalization of the price of state-owned enterprise products, there are private enterprises to occupy the market and sales channels through rebates and other gray means, especially pharmaceutical rebates.

At that time, he earned more than the factory director as a salesman in a state-owned factory, which shows the popularity of kickbacks in the market economy at that time.

However, at this time in '82, the state had just begun to allow a small number of individual and private enterprises to be established, so for the vast majority of Chinese people, kickbacks were still a new-sounding word.

"The so-called rebate refers to the price that the seller returns to the buyer in a certain percentage of the price paid by the buyer, and to put it bluntly, it is to give some benefits to the merchant who helps you sell. Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said.

"Uh......" Xu Fugui nodded when he heard this, but then frowned and said, "But isn't this tantamount to illegal bribery?"

Xu Fugui's mind turned quickly, and he immediately figured out the meaning of the kickback that Duan Yun said.

Although Xu Fugui did not study law, his habit of reading books and newspapers all year round still allowed him to know some relevant knowledge of law.

"Hehe, Secretary Xu, you are wrong, the kind of rebate I said is similar to a sales reward, as long as the account is clear, it is not illegal, it can only be regarded as a promotional method. Duan Yun thought for a while, and then said: "At present, your plastic factory only has an advantage in price, so if you occupy the market first, you can only make more efforts in terms of profits......

The reason why Duan Yun said that it is not illegal to engage in kickbacks at present is because he had read a report on medical kickbacks in the newspaper in his previous life, and the article also did a lot of analysis on medical kickbacks, including legal issues.

In the eyes of ordinary people, giving kickbacks is a kind of commercial bribery, but in fact, not all kickbacks constitute commercial bribery

There are two types of kickbacks: one is the off-the-books covert kickback, that is, the provisions of the Interim Provisions on the Prohibition of Commercial Bribery, and the other is the "explicit in the account" kickback, that is, the kickback is recorded in the formal financial account and is well documented, such as invoices and contracts are clearly expressed. Among the two types of kickbacks, off-the-books covert is prohibited by law, while on-the-books explicit is permitted by law. Among them, only off-the-books kickbacks constitute commercial bribery, which is an illegal and criminal act of unfair competition.

In addition, in the 80s, when the private economy was just beginning to sprout, the state had not yet formulated relevant legal provisions for this kind of kickbacks in a timely manner, and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law was really formulated to punish illegal kickbacks It was only promulgated and implemented in 1993, so there was no special law to regulate the kickback behavior before, and as for the illegal things of some enterprise sales personnel eating kickbacks, they were all investigated and dealt with in accordance with the crime of corruption, and the kickback behavior of village-run enterprises like Ma Junying Village was actually not illegal in this year.

Therefore, in Duan Yun's view, if Xu Fugui's plastic factory first expands the sales channels of its products in the short term, the rebate is undoubtedly a very feasible method.

"I'll think about it later. Xu Fugui nodded and said after hearing this.

"Another point you should pay attention to, you can only cooperate with other township supply and marketing cooperatives, it is best not to develop sales outlets in the city, and take the route of surrounding the city from the countryside. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "You must remember that you are a village-run enterprise, and competing for jobs with factories and enterprises in the city will cause big trouble......

"I see. After hearing this, Xu Fugui showed a thoughtful look on his face, and after a while, he said to Duan Yun with a look of respect: "It seems that although I am much older than you, this vision and mind are really far behind you compared to Xiao Duan......
