Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 340 Of course, official business must be done in public (please subscribe)

Li Weidong had no intention of using real money to buy technology. Not to mention other things, just going to the Foreign Exchange Bureau to apply for one million US dollars in foreign exchange was a troublesome matter. After all the layers of approval, he still didn’t know whether he would get the money in the Year of the Monkey or the Horse in the Year of the Horse.

Got it.

What's more, Alexander and his uncle also have to charge a favor fee. For a transaction like this, it is normal to ask for a 20% favor fee. If they pay in cash, Li Weidong will have to pay an extra two hundred thousand US dollars.

So Li Weidong simply switched to canned fruit for technology.

Russia does not produce fruit, and the level of light industry is also poor. The key is that the people are greedy and like to eat sweets. So in Russia in the early 1990s, canned fruits replaced everything!

If it were someone else, this trick may not work. If you give him canned fruit, he may not be able to sell it. It is better to give him money to save trouble.

But for Alexander, who was born as a trespasser, it was very lethal. The trespassers made a profit on the price difference. They gave them goods and they resold them, which made them earn more money.

Five thousand tons of canned fruits are transported from China to Russia, and there are indispensable checks at various checkpoints in the process. Ordinary Russians may not be able to handle everything, and they may be seized halfway. But Alexander, a senior businessman, is definitely capable of making it happen.

These 5,000 tons of canned fruits are flowing unimpeded.

And as a dealer, he is not afraid of finding channels for bulk goods. Even though 5,000 tons of canned fruits is a lot, it can be easily digested by the whole of Russia.

It can be said that the can exchange technology is a trading plan tailor-made for Alexander. If the transaction object is not a bad guy, maybe they will only accept money and are not willing to barter.

…

Alexander easily persuaded his uncle to sell some core technologies of construction machinery and some second-hand equipment to Li Weidong.

Core technologies are not something that can be easily sold to others. Alexander’s uncle is willing to sell technology, thanks to Russia’s privatization drive.

This kind of free privatization has seriously affected the interests of corporate managers.

Before privatization, enterprises were state-owned enterprises, and the factory director was appointed by the state; but after privatization, the enterprise becomes an individual, and the original factory director will definitely have to pack up and leave.

Instead of packing up and leaving after privatization, it is better to seek more benefits while he is still the director of the factory. Even if the company is privatized in the future, he will still have a pension fund in his hand.

The privatization of small businesses made managers of large companies realize that if they don't make a profit, they will not be able to make a profit in the future. It is precisely for this reason that when Russia later carried out paid privatization, all the assets of large companies were

Selling cheaply.

Since the company has nothing to do with me in the future, I will definitely make a fortune for myself. As for what the company will do in the future, what does it have to do with me?

After receiving Alexander's reply, Li Weidong immediately returned to Qinghe. He had to arrange for the canned fruit to be shipped as soon as possible before Alexander would sell the technology and equipment to him.

Five thousand tons of canned fruit is not a small amount. At that time, a canned fruit production line with an annual output of one thousand tons was considered a large canned production line. Five thousand tons of canned fruit, let alone one cannery, only produced four or five cans

Factories may not be able to gather together.

But Li Weidong is not worried about not being able to buy cans, because there is also Tianyuan Town in Qinghe City that specializes in cans. There are dozens of canneries there. Even if there is no stock in stock, if they start production at full capacity immediately, they can produce it in a short time.

5,000 tons of canned fruit are produced within the company.

At the beginning of the year, Li Weidong sponsored 100 agricultural tricycles to Tianyuan Town. Li Weidong hoped to use this as an opportunity to get involved in the canning industry of Tianyuan Town in the future. But Tianyuan Town will definitely remember this favor.

.

Based on this alone, Tianyuan Town will give Li Weidong priority in collecting 5,000 tons of canned fruits.

After returning, Li Weidong immediately came to Tianyuan Town and found the mayor Che Tengshan.

"Director Li, your great visit has made this small place of mine shine!" Che Tengshan personally welcomed Li Weidong into his office, and then made him a cup of good tea that he was usually reluctant to drink.

"Mayor Che, are agricultural tricycles still enough?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"All those hundred agricultural tricycles have been dispatched, which means they can bring back two to three hundred tons of fruit a day! Thanks to this batch of agricultural tricycles, our fruit farmers in Tianyuan Town don't have to worry about unsaleable fruits this year.

That’s a question. I estimate that each fruit farmer will earn an average of three to four hundred yuan more this year!" Che Tengshan said with a smile.

For farmers in mountainous areas, an extra three to four hundred yuan per household per year is already a considerable increase in income.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and then Che Tengshan asked: "Director Li, you came to our town specifically this time, is there something wrong?"

"Well, I came to you specifically to buy canned fruit!" Li Weidong replied.

"Director Li, you told me to buy it, but you're just a stranger! We don't have anything else here, but we have a lot of canned fruits. When you leave, I will pack a dozen boxes for you!" Che Tengshan said with an air of grandeur.

Li Weidong shook his head: "A dozen boxes are not enough."

"Do you want dozens of boxes? Although our Tianyuan Town is not wealthy, we can still afford to send dozens of boxes of canned fruits." Che Tengshan then replied.

"Farewell, I'd better spend money to buy it." Li Weidong said.

"Director Li, it seems that a few dozen boxes are not enough?" Che Tengshan nodded and replied honestly: "If you want 1,800 boxes, I really can't afford it, but I will give it to you.

You pay the cost price!”

"Forget the cost price, I want more, just give me a relatively low ex-factory price, don't let your cannery here work in vain!" Li Weidong said.

"Director Li, how many cans do you want?" Che Tengshan asked subconsciously.

Li Weidong stretched out five fingers and said: "Five thousand!"

"Five thousand boxes, that's a lot. No problem. Whenever you want it, I'll arrange the supply for you right away. As for the price, it's 20% off the normal ex-factory price. What do you think?" Che Tengshan rushed over.

said.

"It's not five thousand boxes, it's five thousand tons!" Li Weidong replied.

"How much?" Che Tengshan felt that he had heard wrongly.

"Five thousand tons!" Li Weidong repeated.

Che Tengshan was stunned on the spot.

After more than ten seconds, Che Tengshan confirmed: "Director Li, are you telling the truth? Do you want to buy 5,000 tons of canned fruits?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Li Weidong nodded.

Che Tengshan made a quick calculation in his mind. Five thousand tons of canned fruits, even at a 20% discount on the ex-factory price, would have an output value of six million yuan. For a mountainous town like Tianyuan Town, this is a huge amount.

A big sum!

Che Tengshan stopped smiling, but put on a serious face and said: "Director Li, five thousand tons of canned fruits is not a small amount. Now is the peak season for fruit production, and our entire town's inventory adds up.

, not so much."

"How much inventory do you have now?" Li Weidong asked.

"As far as I know, there are dozens of canning companies in the town, and together they have about a thousand tons of inventory." Che Tengshan said.

"Okay, sell these to me first, and I will give you a deposit of one million, and hurry up to produce the rest." Li Weidong paused, and then asked: "With the production capacity of your town, the remaining four thousand

How long does it take to produce tons of cans?”

"Ten days!" Che Tengshan retreated.

"So fast?" Li Weidong didn't expect Tianyuan Town's canned production to be so large.

Che Tengshan went on to introduce: "Now is the peak season for fruit supply. We have no shortage of raw materials, and if you are not in a hurry, I will ask the companies in the town to hire temporary workers and produce around the clock."

"Mayor Che, let me thank you first." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"I'm the one thanking you for sponsoring a hundred agricultural tricycles for our town, and now you've given me such a large order. You are really the God of Wealth for our town!" Che Tengshan said immediately.

Li Weidong continued: "Mayor Che, don't rush to praise me, I haven't finished what I said yet! The five thousand tons of canned fruits I want are shipped to Manchuria. But now the train's carriage,

It’s not easy to find! So I need your help with this matter.”

"You want me to help find the carriage?" Che Tengshan was slightly startled.

"Isn't it too much to ask for delivery when buying your stuff? The worst thing you can do is add shipping costs." Li Weidong continued: "Five thousand tons of canned fruit will cost about eighty truckloads."

But Che Tengshan shook his head: "Director Li, you think too highly of me! I am just a small town mayor, how can I get eighty wagons!"

"Mayor Che, you can't get a carriage, but you can find someone who can!" Li Weidong lowered his voice and continued, "You can go to Mayor Chen for help!"

"You mean Vice Mayor Chen Chuanxin?" Che Tengshan asked.

Li Weidong nodded: "Mayor Chen is not only in charge of industry, but also in charge of poverty alleviation, right? My five thousand tons canned food order will be enough to help many poor households in the mountains? At least it can remove the hat of a few poor villages!"

You can use this as an entry point and ask Mayor Chen for help to mobilize a group of trains!"

…

A train car refers to a freight car. Since the freight cars of a train are divided into train cars, boxcars, tank cars, bucket cars, etc., and their load capacities are also different, they are simply called cars.

In the early 1990s, the domestic railway mileage was far less than that of later generations, and railway transportation capacity was also in a very tight state. It was common for a truckload of goods to wait in the train station warehouse for two or three months before being queued up.

At that time, if companies wanted to transport products by railway, they had to rely on various friends to find connections.

With Li Weidong's connections, he could still get two or three carriages from the train station, but eighty carriages was far beyond Li Weidong's ability.

It is impossible to obtain such a large number of wagons just by relying on connections. We must rely on administrative means and follow formal procedures.

Since formal procedures are required, it is the best way to handle business affairs, so Li Weidong sent the car to Tengshan and went to the city leaders to apply for a car. It would be better to handle the business on a business-to-business basis.

…

After waiting in line for more than three hours, near noon, Che Tengshan finally met Chen Chuanxin.

"Mayor Che, I heard that your town received a big business?" Chen Chuanxin asked while reading the documents.

"Boss, I'm here to report this matter. Our town has just received a large order, five thousand tons of canned fruits!" Che Tengshan replied immediately.

"Five thousand tons? How much is that?" Chen Chuanxin still lowered his head and read the documents.

"About more than six million." Che Tengshan replied immediately.

"Oh? That's really good. It's on par with your town's production value for half a year, right?" Chen Chuanxin nodded, but there wasn't much joy on his face.

For Chen Chuanxin, who is in charge of industry, he is used to seeing output values ​​of tens of millions, and an output value of six million is not that much.

Che Tengshan said: "Boss, we have encountered some difficulties regarding this order. The buyer asked us to deliver the goods. The destination is Manzhouli. Normally, if our cans are sold to Northeast China, we have to deliver them, but this time

The quantity at one time is really too big and we can’t find that many wagons.”

Chen Chuanxin put down the documents in her hands, raised her head, and asked, "How many wagons do you need?"

"Five thousand tons of canned fruit requires eighty wagons!" Che Tengshan said.

"Eighty wagons, so many wagons, even one freight train is not enough." Chen Chuanxin frowned, and then said: "You want so many wagons at once, and it's hard for me to find them!"

"Boss, the key is that the buyer is pressing hard. We only came to the boss for help when we had no other choice."

Che Tengshan continued: "If this batch of canned orders worth 6 million yuan can be completed, at least 2.5 million yuan can fall into the hands of farmers in the mountains. Calculated based on 400 yuan per household, it will be

It can help more than 6,000 farmers increase their income!"

"Five thousand farmers, each household will increase their income by 400 yuan!" After hearing this number, Chen Chuanxin finally became interested.

The poverty standard at that time was that the per capita annual income was less than 300 yuan. However, under the family planning policy, a rural household had four people, which meant that as long as each household had an annual income of 1,200 yuan, it was considered to be out of poverty.

If each household can increase their income by 400 yuan, one-third of the poverty alleviation goal will be achieved in one fell swoop!

More than 6,000 farmers have achieved one-third of the poverty alleviation target, which is still very good for Chen Chuanxin, who is in charge of poverty alleviation.

Chen Chuanxin pondered for a moment and then asked: "Can this order be confirmed now?"

"Yes. I have already given a deposit of one million yuan." Che Tengshan nodded seriously and continued;

"The problem now is whether we can deliver the goods on time. If we use the strength of the whole town, we can complete the production of these 5,000 tons of cans in more than ten days. But we really can't solve the problem of transportation."

After hearing that the deposit had been paid, Chen Chuanxin knew that the order should be stable. The only problem was to transport it as soon as possible.

He weighed it for a moment, and finally nodded: "I will solve the transportation problem. I will find a way to get you eighty wagons. But you, Tianyuan Town, must also complete the production of the order with quality and quantity!"

Everything went as Li Weidong expected. Chen Chuanxin was more concerned about poverty alleviation than anything else and immediately ordered eighty trains.

…

Irkutsk, Russia, is the largest industrial city in Siberia and an important transportation and business hub.

The train transporting cans stopped at the Irkutsk railway station, and several people in uniforms immediately appeared on the stand.

Alexander stepped off the train, came to the men in uniform, and said: "My name is Alexander Berisovsky, and this is my ID! Your Director Tkachev is my friend.

"

Alexander said, handing a thick certificate to the leading man in uniform.

The man in uniform took the certificate and immediately felt that the certificate was ridiculously thick. When he opened it, it turned out that there was a thick stack of rubles inside the certificate.

Seeing this stack of rubles, the man in uniform smiled slightly, put the rubles in his arms, and returned the certificate to Alexander.

Alexander winked at the men behind him, and immediately one of his men came over carrying two boxes of cans.

"There are canned fruits in the box." Alexander said softly.

The smile on the uniformed man's face was even brighter, and his eyes could not hide his love for the fruit.

The other party had documents, knew the director, and also presented a wad of rubles and two boxes of canned fruits. This was full of sincerity, so the man in uniform did not make things difficult for Alexander, but left with two boxes of canned fruits.

As soon as the uniformed man left, a bald bearded man came over.

"Hey, Alexander, what good thing did you bring this time? Is it the latest Sony Walkman?" The bearded man continued; "The CD record player you brought last time was not easy to sell. It was too expensive.

Not many people can afford it. Walkman sells better."

"I got a lot of electronic products this time, but canned fruits! I can give you a car, and I will take the rest to Yekaterinburg." Alexander said.

When he heard the words "canned fruit", the bearded man's eyes suddenly glowed green.

"After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, no Ukrainian fruit has been shipped to Irkutsk. I haven't eaten fruit for several months. Please open a bottle for me to try!"

Alexander took out a bottle of canned yellow peaches and handed it to Big Beard. Big Beard gulped down the bottle, then looked at Alexander with unfulfilled interest.

Alexander simply moved the whole box of canned fruits to Big Beard. Anyway, this cart of canned fruits was going to be sold to Big Beard. No matter how much Big Beard ate, it was still his own canned fruit.

The bearded man ate four bottles of canned fruit in one go and then burped.

Alexander asked: "You just said that Irkutsk has been without fruit for several months?"

"Yes, I haven't seen any fruit since this year. Fortunately, we have tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots to supplement vitamins." The bearded man said.

"The canned fruit should be very popular, right?" Alexander asked with a smile.

The bearded man nodded: "Not to mention one cart of cans, even five carts of cans can be sold easily!"

After a while, the two agreed on the price, and the bearded men began to unload the goods from the train.

Alexander ran to the phone booth and made a long-distance call.

"Uncle, canned fruits are very easy to sell. I think we have to speed up the transaction! Send engineers to China quickly so that we can get the remaining 4,000 tons of cans as soon as possible!"
