Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 222 Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain

Li Weidong looked at the funny guys sent by the monkeys with half a smile, and he said: "Director Jiang, have you ever heard that you can get a refund after paying the patent fee?"

"I paid for your stuff, why can't I return it?" Jiang Aiguo continued arrogantly: "If you go to a department store to buy something and you feel it's inappropriate, can't you still return it?"

At that time, department stores were all state-owned. Although the waiters looked unhappy, they were very clear about returns and exchanges. Generally speaking, if clothes, shoes, socks and other daily necessities were not suitable for you, you could return them directly.

Li Weidong said: "The patent for this air fryer was sold to you in April, right? Is it June now? It's been more than two months. If you go to a department store to buy something, it will take two months to use it.

Go return it and see if the department store will refund it to you!"

"Why can't you return the items after two months? As long as the items are not used, the department store can return them." Jiang Aiguo said with a hum.

"Have you ever used the air fryer patent?" Li Weidong asked.

"It's useless! It's never been used at all!" Jiang Aiguo said decisively.

Li Weidong suddenly felt that Jiang Aiguo was cute with his eyes open and telling lies. He decided to tease Jiang Aiguo, so he simply stretched out his hand and said: "In that case, bring the air fryer patent you bought.

, let me see if it has been used before!"

"How do you get this!" Jiang Aiguo snorted and said, "Patents are something you can't see or touch, and they're not real objects!"

"Director Jiang, you also know that patents cannot be seen or touched!" Li Weidong smiled and then said: "Patents are a type of intellectual property. The teacher has taught you the knowledge. One day you don't want it anymore, and you can still

Are you going to give the knowledge back to the teacher?"

"That's different. We originally bought your patent to sell the goods to foreign businessmen. Now the foreign businessmen don't want the goods. Our goods can't be sold, and your patent is useless. Of course we have to return it!" Jiang

The fallacy of patriotism is very smooth.

"Director Jiang, you are really shrewd in your calculations. Once the items are sold, you will get a profit. If the items cannot be sold, they will be returned to the seller. In this business, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money!"

Li Weidong mocked, and then continued: "Now it seems that it is thanks to asking you to pay the patent fee first, otherwise, you may not want to pay a penny for the patent fee!"

"If nothing is sold, why should we pay royalties?" Jiang Aiguo snorted coldly.

"If the things are not sold, don't we have to pay the supplier?" Li Weidong chuckled and then asked, "Director Jiang, if you all do business according to this method, I guess the triangle debt is quite serious, right?

"

"We are talking about patents, don't talk about anything else!" Jiang Aiguo continued; "I think about it now, when you asked us to pay the patent fees in advance, you were already planning to defraud us!"

Of course, Li Weidong cannot say that he originally asked for payment of patent fees in advance just to prevent these people from defaulting on their debts.

The next second, Li Weidong deliberately put on a look of indignation and said: "Okay, let's settle this matter and double the old score! At the Canton Fair in April last year, I started selling air fryers. By October

, you all started imitating air fryers in droves, but you didn’t even ask me a single question at that time, right?

I told you that I have a patent for air fryers, but you turned a deaf ear to it at the time, right? You even asked me to take legal action. When I really wanted to take legal action, it was you who went to the leaders of the ministries and commissions and asked me to take legal action.

I contributed the patent for the air fryer, so it’s free for you to use, right? If the patent didn’t belong to a Hong Kong company, would you obediently pay the patent fees?

Besides, this year, you asked me to reduce the patent fee from 20 US dollars to 15 US dollars, and I directly reduced it to 10 US dollars for you. Is this sincerity enough? You guys are pushing your limits, and you are even asking for the 10 US dollars patent fee.

If you want a refund, you might as well tell me, and you will have to do it for free. This is so straightforward!

I worked hard to get an invention patent. Not only is it my intellectual property, it must be counted as income from my labor, right? I make money by my own labor, and I have to rack my brains every day to guard against thieves like you whore for free.

Party, tell me later that it was great to have sex for free and continue to have sex for free! Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

People in the office looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally it was Director Huo of the 400,000-ton ethylene project who asked: "Director Li, what is free prostitution? Is it your dialect?"

"Free prostitution means eating in restaurants without paying, going to the movies without buying movie tickets, taking the train without buying train tickets, and buying things without paying for them!" Li Weidong said and added in his mind: There are also online novels without subscribing to the original version.

.

Director Huo nodded: "I understand, it turns out that free prostitution means eating the Overlord's meal! It's definitely wrong to eat the Overlord's meal. You should give money to others when you buy their things!"

"I haven't sold anything, so why should I pay for it? If you go to a restaurant and don't even move your chopsticks, and I ask you to pay for the meal, are you willing?" Jiang Aiguo continued to argue.

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded: "If you don't pay for the food you ordered, who will pay for it? The chef of the restaurant prepared the food and served it to you. If you didn't take a bite, then he paid for it and took it away.

!”

Following this voice, an elderly man with gray hair walked in.

Seeing this person, several people who were sitting in the lounge immediately stood up with respectful expressions.

Jiang Aiguo, Cai Qianjin and others lost their previous momentum and instantly turned into docile little sheep. They said with an apologetic smile: "Leader, why are you here!"

"I've been listening at the door for a long time!" The gray-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "I say Jiang Aiguo, you have become more and more promising in the past two years, but you are becoming more and more unreasonable!

Is it possible to do something as ridiculous as refunding patent fees?"

"No, leader, isn't this because the product was not sold..." Jiang Aiguo explained hurriedly.

"Don't think I don't know your little thoughts! Now you are encountering difficulties in foreign trade work. You are thinking that you can't complete this year's export and foreign exchange earning tasks, so you come here to make up for it! Isn't it? Even if you can't make up for it, you can still find something when you turn around.

Explain it, right?" The old man snorted coldly.

Jiang Aiguo smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head.

After all, Jiang Aiguo was a high-level cadre and had been engaged in foreign trade for many years. How could he not know what patent fees were?

He looked brainless and came to Li Weidong to refund the patent fees. It was all pretending. In fact, as the old man said, Jiang Aiguo saw that the task of earning foreign exchange through exports could not be completed, so he ran to Li Weidong to make up for it!

If you can make up for tens of thousands of dollars, that would be a good thing; if you can't make up for it, it will be an excuse to shirk responsibility when you go back to write a work report.

The leader asked why this year's export-earning foreign exchange task was not completed. When listing difficulties, could you tell me one more thing?

What's more, if you come to Li Weidong to ask for patent fees, you can also write it directly in the work report. This can at least show that you are doing work. Since all the work that should be done has been done, you naturally do not need to bear too much responsibility.

.

It can be said that Jiang Aiguo came to Li Weidong to ask for patent fees. In fact, he was not looking for trouble without thinking. He just wanted to use this behavior to give an explanation to his superiors and subordinates.

None of the veterans in the system who have managed to get into this position are fools. When it is time to fight for the interests of the collective, they will find ways to fight for the interests of the group; when it is time to fight for their own interests, they will also find ways to fight for their own interests.

.It’s just that the methods they use are often relatively simple and crude.

Li Weidong is also an old man. When the gray-haired old man mentioned this, he immediately understood Jiang Aiguo's intention.

"This Jiang Aiguo is using me to practice scapegoating!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

The old man's few words left Jiang Aiguo speechless.

Just listen to the old man scolding: "What are you doing here? Don't embarrass me, get out of here!"

Being scolded by the old man in person, Jiang Aiguo and others made themselves uncomfortable and had no choice but to leave in frustration.

After scolding Jiang Aiguo and others, the old man turned and left.

Li Weidong then spoke to Factory Director Huo next to him: "Director Huo, who is this leader?"

"Read more newspapers on a daily basis!" Director Huo lowered his voice and said the old man's name.

Li Weidong nodded in realization, and then couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the capital!"

…

Walmart and Walmart had no reason to reject the delayed delivery plan proposed by Li Weidong.

Delaying delivery is better than canceling the order. Even if there is no exact time for delaying delivery, at least the 50% deposit will not be wasted.

In the next few days, Ma Dexing and others were still meeting in Beijing to find ways to reduce losses. Industry leaders such as factory director Huo also stayed in Beijing to discuss plans such as the domestic substitution of ethylene projects.

Li Weidong, an idler with no reputation, left the capital and returned to Qinghe.

After returning to Qinghe, Li Weidong went to the Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to report the status of the order without even returning home.

Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the order of more than 20 million yuan would continue, but the delivery was delayed.

What the foreign trade department wants is the figure of foreign exchange earned from exports. For Su Xian, Li Weidong's 11 million US dollars earned in vain is definitely not as good as the 22 million US dollars earned from exports. Even if 22 million US dollars has no profit, it is still better than earning 11 million US dollars!

…

In the high-temperature component factory, Guo Yunyuan looked at the newspaper at hand and realized the seriousness of the problem. He anxiously called Su Xian of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau.

"Bureau Su, I am Guo Yunyuan from the high-temperature component factory!"

Guo Yunyuan exchanged a few useless words before asking: "I just read the newspaper. It said that our country's foreign trade work has encountered major difficulties. Our city has not been greatly affected, right?"

"The foreign trade industry across the country has been affected, how can we be alone!" Su Xian replied.

"Then the foreign trade orders from Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory are also affected?" Guo Yunyuan asked next.

"The impact there is not big! Director Li of the Electric Furnace Factory went to the capital and managed to keep this batch of orders. However, the delivery time was delayed." Su Xian did not hide it.

"How many months has it been delayed?" Guo Yunyuan asked immediately.

"How many months? Haha, it would be great if it was only a few months!" Su Xian sighed.

"Will the production of the electric furnace factory continue?" Guo Yunyuan asked next.

"We can't even ship out the goods, but we still have to produce them! Even if they are produced, no one will want them!" Su Xian said.

After putting down the phone, Guo Yunyuan sat there blankly, and then slapped himself hard in the mouth.

Guo Yunyuan realized that the large order of 2.4 million heating rods flew away!

"If I had known this, why would I have raised the price? Why did I have to pick on Li Weidong! You are really smart. If you sell it at the original price, you can at least get an order in hand. Now, it's all in vain!"
