Chapter 312: Snatching Foreign Exchange
A super contract worth 5 billion US dollars is something that is dreamt of for a country with only 2 billion foreign exchange reserves throughout the year.
"We just moved towards economic development and had such a large amount of foreign exchange at once. I have to say that after we relaxed our minds, we did see different scenery." Although there are so many departments involved, the rapid office efficiency is far beyond everyone's imagination. Mr. An had never been involved in the position of managing money before, but this does not mean that he is not sensitive to money.
Any military aircraft's flight and training, or even the equipment of new aircraft, even the improvement of smiles, is a huge expense.
Even if you add an extra dish in the kitchen, once you have more than ten thousand people, it will be an amazing number this year.
"Old comrades-in-arms! I heard some different news. If the twenty F15s we are about to purchase are in place, it may not be all placed in our division." Just when Mr. An was extremely pleased, he suddenly heard a little pessimistic about his comrades around him.
"This is not something we should worry about!" Old Master An opened his mouth and did not say what he thought. After all, they were just the one who used it, and there were any arrangements on it, which was not under their management.
"I mean, if F15 can be in the north, F14 is the most suitable to be placed in the south. If the only F15 is completely separated, it will be a very disadvantage in the formation of combat power." The comrades around him did not stop, but directly expressed their attitude.
"..." Mr. An remained silent.
"When there is no good fighter, I want to think about it every day. This suddenly happened, and then I realized that there are more troubles." After a while of silence, Old Master An sighed helplessly and said.
While the two of them sighed, the Foreign Exchange Administration was in a crazy manner.
I don’t know who leaked the news. After learning that the Foreign Exchange Administration would receive a foreign exchange of up to 5 billion US dollars, reports from all over the country for foreign exchange applications flew over like snowflakes.
These applications are like complaints, and all walks of life are complaining about their own difficulties.
It seems that they are the most aggrieved people in the world, and it seems that if they don’t purchase new production lines and new equipment internationally for foreign exchange, they will feel that the end of the world is coming soon.
"People say that children who can cry have milk, look, hurry up and take a look. These ones are better than ones, they will cry." After snowflake-like reports came one after another, staff needed to sort them out.
Some reports are applications from some production units directly to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. For such applications, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange will not read the content and will return them intact.
Only those documents that first report to each competent authorities and then obtain stamps and approval from each competent authorities can stay in the Foreign Exchange Administration for a period of time.
But this is just a stop. The current account of the 5 billion US dollars has not yet arrived, but even if it is reached, it is not the turn of these production units to ask for it.
The people below, even the people in the unit, don’t know what the 5 billion US dollars are going to do, but they just know that the Foreign Exchange Administration suddenly has big funds in place.
"Cry, cry hard! What's the use? Now it's all said, it's like the workers who don't buy these machines for them starve to death.
Have you been doing so many years of production? Are these people not able to speak without exaggeration? Over the years, no factory has been shut down, and no one has seen starve to death in the factory.
We admit that color TVs in developed countries can produce more than 29 inches, but we don’t even have 25 inches in our country. The color TV production line that has just been built is just to provide the display screen of game consoles for electronic factories.
Although there is a gap, we are not unable to produce our own products. We can make do with the smallest 14 inches. Putting it in the yard can also attract neighbors to gather together!
It's like eating. Rich developed countries eat delicacies and seafood. Our domestic industry does not have that much strength or family background. Although we eat some coarse grains, at least we don't starve to death.
Now, I don’t know who leaked the news that made these people report so crazy. I just saw that a place actually sent four reports! This is like applying for foreign exchange as a joke. If such people pass it, it will be great, and they will all be returned for processing!" The staff who sorted the reports were very disgusted by these reports.
"Since the economic development is the center, our Foreign Exchange Administration seems to be the most breathable wall. People outside know clearly if there is a little bit of turmoil. Sometimes, people outside even know information that I don't even know before me." The colleagues who continued to sort out the reports said helplessly.
"Such a large sum of money is indeed very important. If all these applications are approved, all walks of life across the country will be completely revitalized.
Such a large amount of money can really be said to be able to fully upgrade all factories.
Now everyone envies the semiconductor industry and thinks that the salary level of the semiconductor industry has far exceeded the level that the working class originally had. Even in the electronics factory in Beijing, the monthly salary level of dozens of workers is even better than the annual benefits of a small factory.
The semiconductor industry is rushing forward, while workers from other industries are still waiting for the opportunity to arrive. If you want to say that everyone is not anxious, it is really lying with their eyes open!
The workers have no choice but to say anything. After all, even the salary received by the factory manager is not as good as the front-line workers in electronics factories. The factory managers can't compare with each other, so naturally they have nothing to say.
But even if the workers have no reason to vent, the factory manager still sees it and is anxious in their hearts.
Now that I finally have the opportunity, I can finally improve the production conditions of the factory. Perhaps after all the equipment is replaced, the products produced can be sold all over the world. With such sales, I naturally don’t have to worry about wages anymore.
But these people were too anxious, so anxious that they forgot the rules. The competent department’s seal was not stamped yet. How could the Foreign Exchange Administration approve them foreign exchange?" someone else in the room said.
"The machine in my second uncle's factory has been running for almost twenty years. I heard that no one has used such equipment in the international community for a long time. It is said that compared with developed countries, it is completely behind three generations of products.
The machine running in my second uncle's factory belongs to the second generation, and the fifth generation of equipment is now used in factories in developed countries.
Under such a gap, how can there be hope for competing with the other party?
If this is introduced to the market, you will make a living by relying on your ability, and you will not expect your superiors to distribute orders, but rely entirely on the products in the factory to find sales on your own, which will almost ruin your own job.
If the equipment is not upgraded, the entire factory may be hungry in the future. Although durability of machinery and equipment is a very popular quality advantage, once the machinery and equipment are eliminated by the consumer market, it is proved that no matter the production capacity, power consumption, or even the quality of the products produced, it cannot meet the current consumer market demand.
A product that is not accepted by the consumer market will occupy a little space for existence unless it is at an extremely low price.
That is, the cost of Chinese workers is extremely low, and the difference in wages between developed countries and Chinese workers is used as the space for profit.
Although this approach has certain legitimacy in a short period of time, once there is any fluctuation in the international market and the soaring domestic prices, this gap will inevitably be smoothed out.
"Isn't it normal for equipment that lasts for twenty or thirty years? The equipment in my second brother's factory was founded before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has been used until now for another three years.
He once won many honors during the National Congress, and he was a meritorious minister after all.
However, such machines and equipment can continue to survive when the superiors distribute orders.
Once the superior leader no longer assigns designated tasks, he allows the factories below to find a way out. Once one of the factories gets foreign exchange and upgrades its own equipment, it will lose its vitality in an instant.
Everyone is afraid that they are left, so they listen to the wind and rain. What's more, this time, the foreign exchange of 5 billion US dollars is not just a wind, but a real storm." Thinking of so many years of hard work on such an outdated production line, once they fully move towards a market economy, they don't know how many factories and equipment will be eliminated in an instant.
It’s sad to think about it, but survival of the fittest is the most core game rule of the market economy.
Whoever does not abide by this set of natural laws will be the first to be eliminated.
If it is just an individual, it will be a family who is eliminated at most to endure hunger.
But a factory collapsed, hundreds of employees were hundreds of families, and there might be thousands of people behind it, or even tens of thousands of people.
Without a source of income, life will become difficult for these people.
"Now it's just the beginning. Before the money is actually received, we are already like a battlefield. Once the money is really received, it will be known to people outside. I really don't know how many such application forms we have to process every day." Although the workload will be very tiring, I think that it is related to the happiness of so many working families, I can only grit my teeth and silently survive this storm.
We hope that more companies will go abroad to create foreign exchange. After the increase in foreign exchange, these factories will not have to work so hard to count on these foreign exchange application forms.
"In fact, there are things that cannot be just a look at the appearance. Take the application form in my hand for example. The reason for applying for foreign exchange is so vague that they cannot even write the model and function of the equipment they purchased.
Application forms like this are actually for land grabbing, and they want to reel their own foreign exchange first.
However, once such an application form is approved in the future, the danger is very great, even if it is clearly written on it, you must check it carefully.
After all, we are not a major economic power. Every foreign exchange is spent on the cutting edge. We cannot purchase large-scale repeated purchases, and we cannot purchase outdated equipment internationally. We are really worried that some factories will accidentally fall into the trap of foreigners in order to blindly purchase. If we buy some equipment that the other party has already eliminated, we will face elimination in less than two years after returning to China.
If this is the case, waste of foreign exchange is small, and no factory may withstand such troubles. Once such a mistake is ahead, the next time the factory applies for foreign exchange, the next time the application form is applied for foreign exchange, and the number of application forms filtered in hand is more and more vague, and even too repetitive to purchase equipment, but this is not the most dangerous.
The most dangerous thing is that someone has seen more than a dozen applications to purchase color TV production lines.
At the same time, more than a dozen color TV production lines were purchased. Not to mention Huaxia, even a developed country, there was no such large demand.
Even if these applications are approved in the future, there will be only a few companies.
But with so many applications, which one should I approve it?
Fortunately, they are only responsible for classifying these application forms, not the applicants for the application forms, nor are they leaders with stamping authority.
Leave this kind of worrying thing to others! I just hope that I must not make mistakes in this regard. It is really difficult to earn foreign exchange from foreigners.
Millions of textile workers can only earn a little foreign exchange day and night, but they may only be enough to buy two production lines for two color TVs for half a year.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Once such a production line decision is made, the hard work of so many people will instantly splash.
However, these staff members of the Foreign Exchange Administration never expected that they thought that their workload had increased by more than ten times, and they were already under tremendous pressure.
But the real pressure is the competent departments of the various industries.
Everyone understands that only the stamped application form is a formal and valid foreign exchange application form.
Many factories were in their respective departments, crying and shouting to ask their leaders to approve and stamp their foreign exchange application form.
All departments are relatively quieter than the four departments.
Qian Min, the Minister of the Fourth Machinery Department, put down the phone in his hand and shook his head helplessly.
Many department leaders called him to complain, but these leaders couldn't even go out of the office door.
Only the semiconductor industry that is busy working overtime to catch up on construction periods has no time to compete for foreign exchange, and they are busy with orders.
For these semiconductor spare parts manufacturers, no one dares to sell what they want to buy to them internationally.
Moreover, they are not short of means of making a living now. In order to rush the construction period, they even have to work overtime until 11 or 12 o'clock every day. Some factories even carry out three shifts, without any rest, and work hard.
While others are still worried about their future jobs, the semiconductor industry is desperately recruiting new people in order to rush to work, especially high school students, technical secondary school students, and college students.
Only by taking these intellectuals into their own hands can greater benefits be brought in the future.
Fortunately, the entire industry is positive and capable of catching talents in advance.
If two more industries rise, these semiconductor industries may not have such a relaxed environment to select top talents.
