Reborn Industrial Tycoon

"This is the 90,000 yuan I owe you!" Yang Peng reluctantly pushed the money in front of Li Weidong.

Ninety thousand yuan, a total of eighteen piles, doesn't seem like much, and can be carried away in a small school bag.

Li Weidong didn't count them one by one, and directly put the 90,000 yuan into his bag.

"Don't you count? Aren't you afraid that I will give you less?" Yang Peng asked with narrowed eyes.

"Whatever Director Yang said, I still can't believe you!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

It's not that Li Weidong really trusted Yang Peng, but because Wang Kaiping had just brought in the 90,000 yuan in front of Li Weidong. If there was any problem with the money, Wang Kaiping would have informed Li Weidong long ago.

Li Weidong took out another debt receipt from his arms and handed it to Yang Peng. Then he also returned the 120,000 yuan note to Yang Peng, and then said: "Director Yang, between us The account between us is settled!"

"What about the Shenfutun Chemical Plant..." Yang Peng asked hurriedly.

"Over at Shenfutun, don't worry. They won't make things difficult for you. You can get as much softener as you want for three thousand yuan per ton! I, Li Weidong, keep my word and never make any IOUs." Li Weidong replied.

Yang Peng breathed a sigh of relief. With Li Weidong's promise, the softener problem was finally solved.

Next, the clothing factory can produce qualified wool car seat cushions and then take them to the Canton Fair to earn five million US dollars in foreign exchange!

Thinking of this, Yang Peng felt happy in his heart, and the depression of being cheated by Li Weidong also dissipated a lot.

Li Weidong asked: "Director Yang, you want to buy softener, are you planning to produce wool car seat cushions?"

"You are asking knowingly!" Yang Peng curled his lips and continued: "Two days ago, you were the director of the factory here. How can you not know what products the garment factory has?"

"I think with Director Yang's intelligence, he might be able to launch some new products!" Li Weidong sneered.

"Hold it, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" Yang Peng snorted coldly, ignoring Li Weidong's sarcasm.

Li Weidong then asked: "The price of this wool car seat cushion is still quite high. We Chinese people can't afford it. The market is in developed countries. Counting this year's Canton Fair, it will start again soon. What is Director Yang doing? Are you planning to go to the Canton Fair again?"

"Of course!" Yang Peng raised his head proudly and continued: "For this Canton Fair, my goal is to earn 5 million in foreign exchange from exports!"

"Director Yang is really ambitious and has set such a high goal!" Li Weidong said with a smile, almost applauding Yang Peng.

"How much? I don't think it's much at all. At the Canton Fair last April, the garment factory earned US$4 million in foreign exchange from exports, and at that time there was only one product: linen car seat cushions. Now I have two products, earning US$5 million in foreign exchange from exports. U.S. dollars, what's the problem!" Yang Peng said confidently.

"Then I wish Director Yang immediate success." Li Weidong stood up and continued, "I won't delay Director Yang from developing his ambitions, so I'll take my leave now!"

Li Weidong walked out of Yang Peng's office and saw Wang Kaiping already waiting there.

"Did you get all the money?" Wang Kaiping asked.

Li Weidong nodded, handed the bag of money to Wang Kaiping, and then said, "Please help me deposit it in the bank later."

"Okay, I'll go to the bank in a minute." Wang Kaiping nodded.

Li Weidong asked again: "Has the report on suspension of pay been written?"

"It's written. Do you want to hand it in today?" Wang Kaiping asked.

"Then hand it over. The electric furnace factory has almost been built. You just need to go and get familiar with the environment." Li Weidong continued: "By the way, help me look at the electric furnace factory. I have to go to Jicheng."

"What are you doing in Jicheng?" Wang Kaiping asked.

"Go to the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to find Ma Dexing and sign up for this year's Canton Fair!" Li Weidong replied.

…

Provincial Foreign Trade Department, Li Weidong met Ma Dexing again.

"Director Li, what kind of wind has brought you here!" Ma Dexing showed a very welcoming look.

"Director Ma, this year's Canton Fair is coming soon, and I came here specifically to sign up for you." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

Ma Dexing greeted Li Weidong to sit down, and motioned to his men to pour tea for Li Weidong. At the same time, he said: "Stop joking with me, you must have other things!"

"I don't dare to lie to you, I really came to sign up for you." Li Weidong replied.

Ma Dexing smiled slightly and said, "Your Qinghe City Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau has already reported the name of your factory to the province, so there is no need for you to go there in person!"

"Director Ma, the one reported by Qinghe Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau is the transportation company's clothing factory, right?" Li Weidong asked.

"Isn't that right? You, the factory director, don't even know the name of your own factory." Ma Dexing said, and his subordinates had already handed over the tea.

"Try this tea quickly. The newly picked Mingqian tea this year is also planned to be exhibited at the Canton Fair. I finally got two boxes." Ma Dexing pointed to the teacup.

Li Weidong took a sip of tea. It was indeed fragrant, sweet and delicious, a unique taste of new tea.

After putting down the tea cup, Li Weidong explained: "I am no longer the director of the transportation company's clothing factory!"

"What's going on?" Ma Dexing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Brother Li, has he been promoted?"

"Where did the promotion come from? The transportation company changed the underwriting conditions and the contracting base was too high. I felt that I couldn't do it, so I stopped contracting the garment factory." Li Weidong replied.

"Who is in charge of the garment factory now?" Ma Dexing asked immediately.

What Ma Dexing really cares about is not who is in charge of the garment factory, but whether the garment factory can continue to export and earn foreign exchange.

Li Weidong replied: "The company has sent someone to manage the garment factory, so you can rest assured. There are thousands of people in Qinghe Transportation Company, and they still can't find a director of the garment factory! When I came, the garment factory's

Everything goes well, if we can get foreign trade orders, production will definitely not be delayed."

"Then I'm relieved!" Ma Dexing let out a long breath, and then asked, "Then what are you doing now? Are you back to the transportation company?"

Li Weidong shook his head: "I applied for a leave of absence without pay."

"Left without pay? Do you want to go to sea?" Ma Dexing's eyes widened in surprise.

In those days, state-owned enterprise employees were suspended without pay for two reasons. One was because they had made some mistakes.

Such as lining one's own pockets, causing losses to the company intentionally or unintentionally, and engaging in inappropriate relationships between men and women. Generally, in such cases, one will be suspended without pay, which is both a punishment and a way to avoid the limelight.

The second is to go into the sea, but this situation was rare before 1992, but anyone who dared to go into the sea was a bold person.

Ma Dexing felt that Li Weidong was obviously the kind of bold person who dared to pretend to be a taxi driver at the Canton Fair and promote products to foreign businessmen. Li Weidong was the only one who dared to do this at dozens of Canton Fairs.

Li Weidong nodded: "Ma Disposal, you guessed it right, I have indeed gone to sea. Now I have a small business, privately owned, but it is affiliated to a township, so it is still a township enterprise in name!"

"You are so brave!" Ma Dexing took a deep breath. In his opinion, it is indeed courageous for a good state-owned enterprise cadre to engage in private enterprises overseas.

Then Ma Dexing asked, "You just said that you wanted to sign up for the Canton Fair. Are you talking about your private company?"

"Yes, it's my company." Li Weidong nodded.

"No!" Ma Dexing refused without thinking, and then explained: "How can a private enterprise participate in an occasion like the Canton Fair? This is against the rules!"

In 1988, state cadres still had a strong disdain for private enterprises. They looked down on private enterprises and would not allow them to participate in the Canton Fair.

The "irregularities" Ma Dexing refers to are not really due to regulations prohibiting private companies from participating in the Canton Fair, but because of prejudice against private companies!

Li Weidong had no choice but to explain: "Director Ma, rules are dead, people are alive. Besides, my company is affiliated with a township, and it is still a township collective enterprise in name."

"Not even collective enterprises." Ma Dexing shook his head, then changed his voice and continued, "It's not impossible, it's just that you are a township collective enterprise, and asking a township enterprise to participate in the Canton Fair is too much, um

, it’s just inappropriate anyway!”

"Too weak? Too obsolete? Or too low-level?" Li Weidong smiled indifferently, and then continued: "Director Ma, I know that those who can participate in the Canton Fair are large companies, and the lowest are provincial-level companies. However,

Last year, my garment factory participated in the Canton Fair. Isn't it just a tertiary industry? Isn't it also capable of exporting and earning foreign exchange?

When foreign businessmen come to buy things, they don’t look at the size of your company, or whether your company is state-owned or collective, but what kind of products the company can produce.

If the product is good and meets their needs, they will buy it. If the product is not good and does not meet their needs, even if it is produced by a national key enterprise, it will not be sold!

Although my place needs to be large or small, high-level or famous, it can still produce products that foreign businessmen like, and they can export and earn foreign exchange after going to the Canton Fair! Isn’t the purpose of the country’s Canton Fair is to earn foreign exchange through export?

"

"Although this is true, yours is a township collective enterprise after all. It would be ridiculous to ask you to participate in the Canton Fair. Foreign trade teams from other provinces will laugh at us if they know it!" Ma Dexing said, shaking his head.

"Last year, when I sold linen car seat cushions and made four million U.S. dollars, which provincial foreign trade team laughed at me? They were all jealous before it was too late! As long as it can bring in foreign exchange, let alone a township collective enterprise, even a small town collective enterprise

No one dares to laugh at a beggar begging for food!" Li Weidong said rather forcefully.

"Okay then!" Ma Dexing sighed helplessly, and then said: "I'll report it to the leader and see if something special can be done!"

Li Weidong smiled slightly. He knew that the so-called "reporting to the leadership" was nothing more than Ma Dexing's excuse. In the final analysis, Ma Dexing was still unwilling to let a township collective enterprise participate in the Canton Fair.

"It's too soft, so I can only do it hard!" Thinking of this, Li Weidong said: "Okay, I'll ask Director Ma to report to the leadership. I won't disturb Director Ma. I just have to rush to a meeting.

Go to the capital and pay a visit to Director Sun Xinmin of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation."

"Now he is Deputy Director Sun. Although he has not been officially appointed, it has been announced." Ma Dexing corrected him.

"It turns out that Sun Xinmin has been promoted!" Li Weidong showed a surprised expression and then said: "That's just in time. I'll go and congratulate him and get Gordon's contact information by the way."

"Gordon? Is that the buyer from Wal-Mart?" Ma Dexing asked.

"Yes, that's him! I'm thinking that if I can't go to the Canton Fair, I will directly contact Gordon to promote our factory's products. As long as Gordon takes a fancy to my products and places an order, I will earn foreign exchange by then. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation will

It’s definitely a green light all the way.”

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said: "Director Ma, please stay, I will take my leave first."

"Wait a minute!" Ma Dexing called out to Li Weidong without hesitation.

"Does Director Ma have anything else to do?" Li Weidong asked.

A smile instantly appeared on Ma Dexing's face, and he said: "We can discuss the matter of participating in the Canton Fair!"

Li Weidong smiled slightly: "This Ma Dexing, as expected, still eats the tough stuff and not the soft stuff!"
