If we only count the cost of raw materials, labor, coal, electricity, etc., the production cost of a glass tube here in Lin Zhen is about 4.89 yuan.
But it is impossible for glass factories to control costs so low.
After discussions with the leaders, the final purchase price was 6.5 yuan per piece, and the transportation costs were borne by the glass factory.
After negotiating the price, Lin Zhen immediately asked his daughter-in-law Lou Xiao'e to transfer one month's order payment to the glass factory, 14,000 glass tubes, a total of 91,000 yuan.
Lin Zhen's arrogant approach of giving money first and then asking for goods was greatly appreciated by his leaders.
He immediately asked You Yuanshan to invest all the money in purchasing equipment and implement it immediately.
Salesmen were immediately dispatched to the capital to complete the procurement contract and try to achieve mass production of glass tubes within four months.
The investor, Boss Li, asked him to wait aside.
One of the reasons why Lin Zhen paid all the money for the first batch of orders was to allow the glass factory to quickly order equipment and produce glass tubes as quickly as possible.
Another reason is to ask You Yuanshan to urge Boss Li to follow the investment. If he doesn't invest, he will start to close the net.
After You Yuanshan came out of the leadership office, he immediately placed orders with several machinery factories in the south to purchase production equipment.
He also specially called the investor Boss Li over.
In front of Boss Li, negotiate prices and delivery dates with the machinery factories, and urge the machinery factories to quickly produce equipment.
He also said not to delay the opening of Boss Li’s solar factory.
Boss Li looked at You Yuanshan's purchase list and almost bought all the production equipment. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He hurriedly asked: "Director You, is this money for purchasing equipment the subsidy approved by superiors?"
You Yuanshan smiled and said: "Otherwise? My glass factory has not been profitable in the past three years, and I can't spend so much money to purchase equipment. If you hadn't invested 50,000 yuan to invest in the glass factory, the superiors would not have approved it.
Here’s the subsidy.”
"Then, how much money has been approved by the higher authorities this time? Why don't I know?"
You Yuanshan smiled and said: "Isn't this what I informed you? The higher-ups have temporarily approved 100,000 yuan this time. There is no other way. If you invest 50,000 yuan, the higher-ups can only approve double the amount, 100,000 yuan. Aren't you in a hurry to produce it?
I'll take it upon myself to purchase the equipment directly for you."
"Ah? This..."
"What's wrong? Don't you want the glass factory to start production as soon as possible?"
Boss Li smiled awkwardly, "Well, that's not the case, it's just that my plan is to build the factory in general first, at least it can't be slower than the glass tube production line."
You Yuanshan smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. If the glass tube production line is put into production ahead of schedule, we will store the glass tubes in the warehouse and wait for you to quickly invest in the construction of the factory!"
Boss Li felt anxious as he watched You Yuanshan call the machinery factory to purchase equipment.
I couldn't help but ask: "Director You, the application I submitted this time is for 500,000 yuan. It seems that I invested 50,000 yuan before being approved for 100,000 yuan. Do I have to invest all 500,000 yuan before the superior government can give out all the subsidies?"
Are they all approved?"
You Yuanshan rolled his eyes and smiled slightly: "Of course not, the main reason is that a glass tube production line does not cost much now, so there is no one-time approval from above, so that we can avoid poor planning and spend too much and not enough.
If you want to apply for all the subsidy, you have to invest at least another 30,000 yuan, and immediately start selecting land, buying building materials, and starting to build a factory. You have already decided where you plan to build the factory, and the higher-ups will definitely not approve it in full."
Boss Li thought about it and felt that this was the truth.
Mainland China has just reformed, information is not transparent, and there is asymmetry between superiors and subordinates.
But it doesn't mean that they can cheat easily. If they want to take away 500,000 yuan, just spending 50,000 yuan is not enough.
Anyway, Deputy Director Li said that the bait should be used at most 100,000 yuan. The previous investment of 50,000 yuan was exchanged for a subsidy of 100,000 yuan.
Then if you invest another 50,000, you can get at least 100,000 more.
This is enough.
Now You Yuanshan said that if you invest another 30,000 yuan, you may get all the subsidies, so you can't miss it.
There is still a subsidy of 400,000 yuan that has not been received. They must not misappropriate it in advance. They must get it into their own hands.
After Boss Li made up his mind, he immediately said: "No problem, Director You. I will call the board of directors of Xiangjiang later and make additional investment immediately, but..."
"If you have any concerns, just ask."
Boss Li smiled and said: "This time you used the subsidy to purchase the production line equipment for me. Thank you very much for your help. But next time, can you give me the subsidy first? After all, I have to plan the entire factory.
Discuss with Xiangjiang’s board of directors.”
You Yuanshan couldn't help but smile and said: "Hey, you really don't have to worry about this. The 100,000 yuan subsidy has already been calculated into your shares. As for how to use the subsidy in the future, of course I will listen to you. I didn't follow you this time.
You said hello in advance and purchased the equipment for you. To be honest, I am a bit selfish. Who made me the director of the glass factory? Of course I hope you will set up the glass tube production line first!"
"This...ah! I understand, I understand! Hahahaha..."
Boss Li smiled helplessly.
I thought you had the nerve to say you were selfish, but this is 100,000 yuan.
Including the 50,000 I invested earlier, your glass factory received a total of 150,000.
Good guy, I haven’t cheated you out of a penny yet. You got 150,000 first, and you don’t know who cheated whom!
You Yuanshan's temptation really made Boss Li a little frustrated.
After returning to the guest house, I immediately called Li Huaide who was hiding in Xiangjiang.
"Director Li, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Li Huaide frowned and said, "Xiao Li, please stop making trouble. What's going on?"
"Hey, the first two investments have paid off, and the subsidy has come down."
Li Huaide was overjoyed, "Oh? So it's successful, what's the bad news? Didn't you get the money?"
"Oh, Director Li, you guessed it right. This You Yuanshan is too selfish. This time, the superiors only approved a subsidy of 100,000 yuan. He was fooled by the local leaders and used it directly to purchase production line equipment!
"
Li Huaide frowned and said: "This is reasonable. That You Yuanshan is a selfish old fox. He will definitely use his relationship with the local leaders to deduct part of the subsidy first. Fortunately, it is not much, so it is acceptable. His glass tube
As long as the production line has a capital of 150,000 yuan, it is almost ready for production. When the subsidy is approved again, he cannot withhold it."
"This is true. He said that he was a little selfish and asked me to take care of him. Once the subsidy is approved, he will give it to me directly."
Li Huaide said: "Then you have to be careful and don't get intercepted again. By the way, next time it's best to let the superiors approve all the remaining 400,000 at once. Otherwise, you won't be able to do it in batches."
"Don't worry, this time You Yuanshan said that if he invests another 30,000 yuan, as long as he buys land and building materials to build a factory, his superiors may directly give away the remaining subsidy money."
Li Huaide said: "Tomorrow you directly invest 50,000 yuan instead of investing another 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in batches. The decision will be made quickly. We cannot afford to delay it."
"Understood. I estimate that it will take less than a month to get the money."
"Okay, after excluding the 100,000 yuan invested this time, we will make a net profit of 300,000 yuan. We will share it equally. After going to other places, after this experience, you will be more skilled next time."
"You want to go to other places to continue cheating?"
"What? You don't dare anymore?"
"Hey, that's not true. I'm afraid my shoes will get wet if I walk too much by the river."
"What are you afraid of? This is your first time to go to the mainland to cheat. I am here in Xiangjiang. Taking advantage of the information asymmetry that has just been reformed, many people in the mainland are dreaming of unrealistic dreams. It is the best time to cheat. Now is not the time.
To deceive, do we have to wait until the mainland is fully developed? Or do we have to go abroad to deceive? We don’t understand the language when we go abroad.”
Boss Li thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, Director Li, I listen to you. If I really want to run a factory down-to-earth, I am not that material. I can still cheat him quickly, and the mainland treats me as a VIP."
Here, we serve you delicious food and drinks every day. To be honest, I really can’t get used to leaving this kind of life.”
"Hahaha, so we have the same goal and lifestyle, so we are true confidants!"
"Of course, after I met Factory Director Li, my life changed dramatically. I went from being an unknown person on the street to living a life of being praised by others. This is all thanks to Director Li's support."
After Boss Li and Deputy Director Li consolidated their friendship, they hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.
He is very greedy, but he also has his own ideas.
During this period, You Yuanshan treated him as an investor and treated him as a VIP. This feeling made him very confused.
This kind of treatment as a positive and successful person after being whitewashed made him subconsciously forget that he was a liar who was just trying to be clever and had no real ability.
Before going to bed these days, he always imagined that he had actually built a solar energy factory.
Not only did he make a lot of money through export trade, he also became a man of the hour in a small southern town.
He didn't want to recall the days when he used to hang out on the streets of Xiangjiang.
If the money wasn't in Li Huaide's hands and he was just a stand-in, he would really be willing to take a gamble and see if he could build a solar energy factory.
Li Huaide was sitting in Xiangjiang and commanding him remotely, but he had another idea because of You Yuanshan's preferential treatment in the mainland.
This is also a manifestation of opaque information and environmental asymmetry.
A generation gap has already emerged, and this gap will only grow wider.
The next day, Boss Li really invested another 50,000 yuan.
A total of 100,000 yuan was invested in the investment, but the subsidy was not applied for him at all.
All You Yuanshan used was the payment paid by Lin Zhen.
Seeing that Boss Li's total investment reached 100,000, You Yuanshan had to ask the leader for instructions on how to deal with this fake investor.
The reason why he was determined to be a fake was because You Yuanshan discovered more and more in the past few days that he was not the boss of a trading company at all, let alone an engineer who loved inventions.
Real gold is not afraid of fire, but brass will blacken when exposed to fire. Time is the only way to verify the truth.
Boss Li has nowhere to hide in You Yuanshan's eyes.
Since he can't invest in building a factory, and the glass factory has already signed a supply order with Lin Zhen, there is no need to act with Boss Li anymore.
