Liu Dawei didn't notice that Li Weidong and Cai Qianjin had already started negotiating terms.

"Director Li, since there are additional conditions, you'd better make it clear in advance. Don't bring up another Northwest Company and catch us off guard again!" Cai Qianjin said.

"Director Cai is worrying too much. How can there be a Northwest Company?" Li Weidong smiled slightly and then said: "Southeast Company is willing to reduce the patent licensing fee. There is only a small additional condition. I hope you can pay the patent fee earlier.

On Southeast Company’s account.”

"How early do you want to be?" Cai Jinjin asked immediately.

Li Weidong slowly explained: "Before this, we signed a patent licensing contract first, and then you produced, shipped, and collected payment, and then the foreign trade department transferred the patent licensing fee to Southeast Company's account. This way

Once the process is completed, it will take several months.

For Southeast Company, a few months is really too long, so we hope that foreign businessmen can receive patent fees immediately after paying the deposit. Of course, foreign exchange is controlled by the foreign exchange bureaus in various places, so foreign trade is also needed

Only if the department leader agrees."

Cai Qianjin thought for a while and said: "Let me tell you, Director Li, the deposit paid by the foreign businessman is not very large to begin with, and the production company still needs this money to purchase raw materials! If we receive the deposit from the foreign businessman,

If the patent fees are paid immediately, the manufacturer may not have money to buy materials for production and will face problems with insufficient turnover."

"Manufacturers can get loans to buy raw materials! The loan approval process is relatively strict now, but are foreign trade companies still afraid of not being able to get loans?" Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued: "Although loans carry interest, Southeast companies all pay patent fees

It’s reduced by half, and the money you save is no more than bank interest!”

Liu Dawei, who was next to him, also interjected: "Director Li is right. They are willing to reduce the patent fee to 10 US dollars, which shows that they are very sincere. Your local government should also show some sincerity! Besides, let's talk about it.

, this patent fee saves US dollars, and the loan interest you repay is in RMB, which is more important, I don’t need to say more, right?"

Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo looked at each other and both felt that this condition was acceptable, and it could even be said that they had taken a big advantage.

However, Cai Qianjin still said: "Director Li, the foreign trade department will not default on your patent fees. Haven't all the accounts from last year been settled? Why should your Southeast Company be in a hurry? Wait two or three more months.

The money won’t fly away!”

"Director Cai, you are really wrong. If you wait two or three more months, the money will really fly away." Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued: "Every leader should know that Hong Kong Island is different from us.

The financial industry is very developed, and Hong Kong Islanders have many ways to invest, such as stocks, funds, bonds, futures, gold, etc.

If nothing else, take stocks as an example. If you buy a good stock, it may increase several times in two or three months. That’s why Southeast Company wants to receive the money as soon as possible so that others can use the money to invest. The same is true.

If a sum of US dollars is left in the account of the foreign trade department for a few months, it will probably not even earn much interest, right? But when you go to Hong Kong Island and use it for financial investment, it may double in a few months!

I remember there is a saying in our SAR, "time is money". This is especially true in Hong Kong Island. You may think that if you wait a few more months, you will have less money; but others feel that if you wait a few more months, you will not have less money.

If you invest in France, you will make a lot less money! Southeast Company is willing to reduce the patent fee to 10 US dollars, and also hopes to exchange money for time."

After listening to Li Weidong's explanation, everyone nodded. Although everyone has never played in stocks, futures and the like, they are still from the foreign trade department. They still know something about these things and know that they make money very quickly. So Li Weidong took this one.

The excuse of exchanging money for time sounds very reasonable.

Liu Dawei once again came out to smooth things over: "Everyone, I think Southeast Company's request is quite reasonable. They are willing to charge less patent fees in exchange for a faster payment of the patent fees. This request is not too much! Anyway, sooner or later, the patent fees will be paid.

They all have to be paid to others!

You and the foreign trade bureaus of various provinces are not far behind in these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars, right? Even if the U.S. dollars are placed in the account of our foreign trade department, no money will be generated. However, it is different in Hong Kong Island. People pay for it every minute.

It’s around 100,000! Let’s pay it a few months earlier so that we don’t delay others from getting rich!”

"Leader, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite! Our local area is not rich in foreign exchange." Jiang Aiguo said.

Liu Dawei curled his lips: "Don't cry poverty to me! Southeast Company didn't ask you to pay now, but asked you to wait for the foreign businessman to pay the deposit before paying the patent fee. Now that the foreign businessman's deposit has arrived.

, how could you not have money to pay patent fees?

As for the company's purchase of raw materials, I don't think there is any need to go to a bank for a loan. Can the local foreign exchange swap market be without RMB? In the worst case, the company can settle foreign exchange first and let the company use the money to buy raw materials. The patent fee is equivalent to the foreign trade department.

You put it in first, you still have this power locally, right?"

Given Liu Dawei's personality, the way to solve the problem is probably for both sides to make fifty-fifty decisions, and advise everyone to take a step back and then reach a consensus.

But this time, Li Weidong retreated eight hundred miles from the beginning, and Liu Dawei could only deal with Cai Qianjin and others with reason and affection.

The patent licensing fee of US$10 exceeded the expectations of Cai Qianjin and others. After discussing for a while, they agreed to Li Weidong's request.

After sending Liu Dawei and others away, Ma Dexing looked at Li Weidong curiously.

"Director Li, you must have some backup plans, right? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to reduce the patent fee to $10." Ma De asked excitedly.

"Director Ma, don't think of me in such a dark way!" Li Weidong sighed softly and said, "I really want to give everyone a profit this time. If you have money, everyone can make it! As for whether I can make this money?"

Money, it depends on whether they can move fast enough!"

"Are you moving fast enough?" Ma Dexing blinked, obviously not understanding what Li Weidong meant.

…

A major feature of the Canton Fair in 1989 was that a Spring Festival food festival was held outside the Canton Fair. Many vendors came to the food festival to set up stalls. Here you can eat a variety of Cantonese snacks.

Unfortunately, God was not kind to us. On the opening day of the Canton Fair, it started to rain lightly in Guangzhou.

In the exhibition hall, a row of young ladies wearing cheongsam and advertising ribbons indicating manufacturers and products walked uniformly through the aisles.

"It's really tall!" a local exhibitor exclaimed.

These young ladies wearing cheongsam are all specially hired models, each of them is over 1.7 meters tall. In 1989, even in the northern region, there were not many women who could grow to 1.7 meters tall.

The advertising team composed of models was also a major feature of the Canton Fair that year. People of that era were still relatively conservative in their thinking. Such ostentatious model advertising teams could only be seen in the Pearl River Delta, which was at the forefront of reform and opening up.

It is definitely rare to see in the north.

Due to the rain, not many foreign businessmen came over the whole morning. Li Weidong watched the model catwalks all morning.

At noon, the rain gradually stopped, and Li Weidong also left the booth and went to eat at the food festival outside.

In front of a food stall, Li Weidong saw a familiar figure, it was Hayward from Costo.

Hayward, a foodie, was staring at the bowl of cake in the steamer and fell into a difficult decision.

"Which one do you want?" the stall owner asked impatiently.

This stall owner sells bowl cakes in several flavors, and Hayward is probably having a hard time choosing.

Li Weidong came up and said to Hayward in English: "If this is your first time eating this kind of thing, I suggest you try this taste!"

"Li! I saw you here." Hayward suddenly looked surprised when he saw an acquaintance.

"Mr. Hayward, it seems that you are very interested in the food here. How about I introduce you to various things in Yangcheng?" Li Weidong said.

"That's great. I've never seen many things here!" Hayward said, pointing to a stall next to him, and continued: "For example, many people bought that thing, and I also bought a copy. It was very popular.

Delicious. By the way, I don’t know what it is yet!”

Li Weidong turned around and saw that it was a stall selling offal.

"Well, Mr. Hayward, there are some delicacies, just remember that they are delicious." Li Weidong said.

"Did I eat something I shouldn't have?" Hayward's eyes widened, and then he said, "Li, you better tell me, I think I have the right to know what I just swallowed.

"

"Okay, those are cow offal. You Americans probably don't like eating animal offal! But don't worry, these cow offal are cleaned very clean." Li Weidong said.

"Well, it turns out it's just cow offal. Fortunately, it's better than I thought. I thought it was something very weird." Hayward let out a sigh of relief.

It’s not that foreigners don’t eat animal offal at all. For example, there are many dishes in French cuisine that use animal offal. Spaniards will basically eat everything from cows. Italians are closer to the Chinese, they don’t.

Waste any part of an animal, including whips.

The United States is rich in food and has a lot of meat to eat, so Americans rarely eat offal. However, buyers like Hayward, who travel around the world, have long been accustomed to eating animal offal.

Li Weidong took Hayward around the food festival. After both of them filled their stomachs, Li Weidong took Hayward to the exhibition hall and started talking about business.

"Mr. Hayward, in addition to the air fryer, I also brought a new product. I guess you will be interested." Li Weidong said and took out the toaster that was still under research and development.

"Is this a toaster?" Hayward nodded, and then said: "This thing is very popular in the United States. We also have many manufacturers in the United States that produce toasters."

"But their products are not as cheap as mine." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"How much does your toaster cost?" Hayward asked.

"I have investigated and found that the toaster sold by Costo costs about one hundred US dollars. I think your purchase price must be more than seventy US dollars." Li Weidong pointed to his toaster and continued:

"And the toaster I produce only costs 45 US dollars."

"45 dollars!" Hayward immediately became interested.

"If the purchase volume is large, the price can be negotiated again," Li Weidong added.

"It's already 45 US dollars, and it can get cheaper!" Hayward experienced the charm of Made in China for the first time!
