After the Spring Festival, the Chemical Industry Department of Maolin Province.
"What special policy do you want?"
Deputy Director Xu Ying looked at Gao Fan sitting opposite her and asked with a smile.
Gao Fan contracted the labor service company of Canghai Fertilizer Plant, and within half a year he made a profit of more than RMB 500,000 and earned 150 million yen in foreign exchange. It was considered a satellite within the system of the Provincial Department of Chemical Industry. Especially the matter of earning foreign exchange even alarmed the Provincial Department of Foreign Trade.
.
You must know that Maolin Province has always ranked among the lowest in the country in terms of export earning foreign exchange. Maolin Province has very few industrial products that can export to earn foreign exchange, and it relies entirely on some mineral products and agricultural products to support the situation. Now in a small business
The labor service company can actually earn 150 million yen in foreign exchange, equivalent to more than 700,000 US dollars, and it exports industrial products. This cannot but surprise the Foreign Trade Department.
Of course, Xu Ying admires the person who created such a miracle. Considering that Gao Fan is not yet 17 years old and is completely his nephew, Xu Ying is a little more protective of him.
"Our chemical cleaning agents are selling well in the Japanese market, and exports this year are expected to exceed 1 million bottles." Gao Fan first reported.
As expected, Xu Ying became interested and asked: "One million bottles, how much is the sales volume?"
"If nothing else happens, it should not be less than 1.5 billion yen."
"That's almost $8 million?"
Xu Ying did a mental calculation and couldn't help but smile. The exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar has been changing. Xu Ying didn't know the exact exchange rate at the moment, so she could only calculate it based on her impression. Earning 8 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange, put aside
This is a great achievement nationwide. There is no industrial enterprise in Maolin Province that can make such a large contribution to foreign exchange earnings.
"Absolutely." Gao Fan said lightly.
This was in 1983. If it were postponed to 2023, the export volume of 8 million US dollars would be equivalent to a stall in Yiwu. Just selling hot water bottles, cotton-wool trousers, etc. would be enough.
Xu Ying was not a time traveler. She smiled and praised: "Ha, little Gaofan, you did a great job! If you can really earn 8 million US dollars in foreign exchange, the Department of Foreign Trade will give you a commendation ceremony."
"There is no need to hold a commendation meeting." Gao Fan said, "Aunt Xu, do you think, with such export performance, can we ask for some special policies?"
"Tell me, what kind of special policies do you require?" Xu Ying said.
Gao Fan said: "We would like to make a request to the province that 50% of our foreign exchange earnings be returned to us to purchase equipment and raw materials from abroad."
"You said it's foreign exchange retained earnings?" Xu Ying asked.
"Exactly." Gao Fan said.
Xu Ying shook her head: "Your appetite is too big. There is a policy of retaining foreign currency, but the proportion of retained earnings is only 10% at most. How can it be 50%? The country is very tight on foreign exchange now, and all walks of life are working hard to earn foreign exchange.
.These foreign exchanges must be concentrated in the most important places by the country, and cannot be dispersed to various companies to do their own thing."
"That's why I said that my request is a special policy." Gao Fan said, "The foreign exchange earnings of all walks of life you mentioned are all listed in the national plan. The foreign exchange they create has long been recorded in the state's books.
Used up.
"But the foreign exchange created by our Canghua Company is outside the national plan. In other words, the country originally did not expect us to create foreign exchange. Now we have created foreign exchange and handed half of it to the country. For the country, it is also
A pleasant surprise, right?”
"What kind of fallacy is this!" Xu Ying scolded, "Many enterprises' foreign exchange-earning projects are also developed by these enterprises. The whole country is a game of chess, requiring every enterprise to make efforts. Your Canghua Company can develop foreign exchange-earning products.
, this is your contribution, but it cannot be said to be independent of the national plan."
"Then let me put it another way, if I spend 100,000 US dollars in foreign exchange to buy a batch of raw materials from abroad, process them and then sell them abroad, I can get back 200,000 US dollars in foreign exchange. Will the state support it?" Gao Fan asked.
This was something he had discussed with Gao Yiping before coming to Ruizhang. According to Gao Yiping's analysis, spending foreign exchange on raw materials, processing them and then exporting them to earn more foreign exchange was something the Department of Foreign Trade could not refuse.
The reason why Gao Fan didn't say this at the beginning was because he wanted to test Xu Ying's tone first and see if he could obtain the foreign exchange in the form of retained profits.
The difference between these two methods is that the foreign exchange retained can be freely used, but if the foreign exchange is obtained in the name of imported raw materials, it will be more troublesome to use.
Now it seems that the foreign exchange gap is relatively tight. It is really difficult for Gao Fan to take advantage of this gap.
"Of course I support it..." Xu Ying blurted out. After saying this, she realized something was wrong. She was tricked by Gao Fan, so she quickly went back to make up for it: "Uh, can't the raw materials you mentioned be purchased domestically?"
"It is indeed a raw material that cannot be produced in China at present." Gao Fan said.
"In this case..." Xu Ying thought for a moment, "I think it should be feasible. However, you have to ensure the following points: first, the foreign exchange you earn back is more than the foreign exchange you spend; second,
Second, the foreign exchange you use must be earmarked. You can buy whatever you agree to buy and cannot be used for other purposes. As for the third one, you must prove that the raw materials you purchase are indeed unavailable domestically.
.
"If you can do these things, then from my side, I think this request is quite reasonable. This is a bit equivalent to processing with supplied materials. Some coastal provinces and cities have carried out such business in the past few years. We
The province has not launched it yet.”
"That's right, it's processing with supplied materials." Gao Fan said, "So, is it okay to do this?"
Xu Ying said: "It should be possible. For specific policies, you have to ask the Foreign Trade Department. If you have a specific project, you can make a report and the department will submit it to the Foreign Trade Department for you. Earning foreign exchange from exports is a
This is an important task. If you can spend US$100,000 and earn US$200,000 back, that will be a great contribution, and the office will support you.”
"Aunt Xu said that the hall will support us, what specific support is there?" Gao Fan asked with a smile.
Xu Ying nodded Gao Fan's head with her hand and said: "You little Gao Fan, are you trying to trick me again?" The province will definitely provide all kinds of care to enterprises that earn foreign exchange through exports, but how exactly will they be taken care of?
It should be determined according to the actual situation.
"Just tell me what kind of support you want from the Department of Chemical Industry. If it is a reasonable request and the Department of Chemical Industry cannot meet your request, you can also apply to the province.
"Of course, I have said something ugly before. If the amount of foreign exchange you earn is small, don't expect much support from the province. If you want to get benefits, you have to achieve results."
