What was a secret to Watanabe Xiong was no secret to He Yulan. The eldest sister followed Zhou Qingfeng wholeheartedly and knew that the Nantou Township garbage recycling site was of great importance.
So Uncle Zhou went to the imperial capital to take the two daughters Lin and Huang, leaving Yulan to guard the family. He was worried because it was someone else.
Negotiations with the Soviet Ministry of Aviation Industry are still continuing. Some Soviet personnel took a plane and followed people from the "Holy Light" purchasing department and business department to inspect the factory and inspect the goods.
When it comes to doing business, Zhou Qingfeng has a long-term vision and pursues business development before making money. Therefore, his food is much better than that of Nande Group.
Mou Zhongzhi was imprisoned many times throughout his life, often ending up in jail.
In 2000, he was sentenced to life for committing "letter of credit fraud" due to a broken capital chain. His sentence was later commuted and he spent sixteen years in prison. This was entirely what he asked for.
He was doing such a big business and his reputation spread all over the country, but when he was in trouble, there was no one to save him except his sister-in-law. They were all adding insult to injury.
It's really terrible to be a human being like this.
But then again, this man actually has a sister-in-law who is deeply in love and never leaves her. But we..., we only have our own hard-working hands.
Precisely because of ‘Holy Light’’s good taste and sincere attitude, the Soviet personnel were greatly encouraged and became several times more confident in the barter trade. Zhou Qingfeng’s efforts paid off.
After signing the "cans for planes" agreement, the Soviet side requested to purchase more Chinese light industrial products and exchange them for heavy industrial products.
From the inside, Zhou Qingfeng doesn't like Maozi's industrial products very much.
For example, the other party was promoting the Volga sedan, which was an Italian Fiat technology from the 1960s. It looked silly in appearance, and even Maozi himself didn't like it.
If it was not possible to sell cars, the Soviet Union would sell trucks. Maozi's truck technology was pretty good.
Zhou Qingfeng is really short of trucks, and the current domestic truck production is not enough. It would not be a loss to exchange light industrial products for trucks. But he only wants spot goods, even second-hand ones.
Maozi agreed, and then listed the model number for the president.
Ordinary 'Gas' trucks, this one can be used. 'Gil' trucks, the original factory of 'Old Jiefang', can also be used with this one. 'Belas' mining trucks, this one... is fine, too.
.
Wait, what does this 'Maz' heavy truck mean? A ballistic missile launcher? Why do I need this thing? And how come this 'Kamaz' truck can be given to me for both military and civilian use?
This is a joke. What can I do with the military stuff? I’m not going to rebel. The price is so expensive.
The Soviet Union went through a lot of trouble and found that it could not provide many trucks in stock at the moment. After all, it was the Ministry of Aviation Industry that came to negotiate, not the Ministry of Machinery Industry.
then......
"The Holy Light has already bought the Tu-154, do you want the IL-76?"
What......?
Zhou Qingfeng was very conflicted in his heart.
In 1991, the domestic military introduced ten Ilyushin Il-76 transport aircraft. In 1994, United Airlines introduced four more. In the following twenty years, many second-hand, third-hand and even fourth-hand Il-76 transport aircraft were successively acquired in China.
Er-76.
Because there is a shortage of military transport aircraft in the country.
But this thing is a military aircraft. It consumes a lot of fuel, has poor controllability, and can only transport cargo, so it has poor practicality. In 2002, United Airlines stopped using the IL-76 and gave it all to the military.
After the Mao Xiong was dismantled, it had no time to take care of itself. A lot of military equipment was thrown around and left in the open air for many years without any maintenance.
Tanks, warships, nuclear submarines, and space shuttles were all thrown away without even looking at them for twenty or thirty years. When I looked back, some of them were so bad that they fell apart.
For example, "Ermao" allocated more than a hundred Il-76s, but only single digits can be used in 20 or 30 years. The rest are either retired, resold or discarded.
What a waste of stuff.
Ordinarily Zhou Qingfeng shouldn't want this kind of transport plane that is not suitable for commercial use. But the price given by Su Fang is really cheap. After all, for the powerful, things can only be exchanged for money by selling them, otherwise they will be considered non-performing assets.
"Okay, bring me a few, they must be in stock." Zhou Qingfeng decided to buy one at a time. Anyway, it is to exchange for light industrial products, and the price can be really cheap.
After all, canned clothes and other small commodities can be manufactured domestically, and more and more can be manufactured. Even if the country has the "Yun-20" large transport aircraft in another thirty years, the production capacity will not be enough.
Once the transport plane arrives, you can run the logistics. The higher the operating cost, the more expensive it will be. After all, the purchase price is cheap.
It really didn't work, so after buying them, they just threw them all to the military. Anyway, the military is happy to have planes and is not picky at all. The Tu-154 is so bad, they keep using it.
In order to save money, Zhou Qingfeng also gave Su Fang a bad idea - Mao Zi, your family is going to be separated anyway. This 'Er Mao' family has more than a hundred, why not..., you know what I mean
What?
Regardless of whether they understood it or not, the Soviet negotiators nodded anyway.
Now it was Zhou Qingfeng's turn to think in his mind - Mao Xiong's family was collapsing really fast. There were still two months left before the disintegration, so he started to rush...
Suddenly, Zhou Qingfeng realized something - if you have the right to use it, it will be invalidated after it expires. Now all the bureaucrats in Mao Xiong are in panic, and no one dares to say that they can continue to work.
Naturally, when disaster strikes, everyone will fly away and catch whatever they can.
The Soviet negotiators kept selling to Zhou Qingfeng and strongly demanded a quick transaction. If it was spot currency, they could get a further discount.
The discounts started at 10% off and gradually slid to 40% off. Faced with the ultra-cheap price, Zhou Qingfeng held back - these Soviet bureaucrats just wanted to take the money and run away.
Even if I buy it at a discount, I'm afraid I won't find anyone when I look back.
Zhou Qingfeng insisted on barter trade and even refused to make advance payments for mobile phones and other products, forcing the Soviet Union to accept light industrial products transactions.
The pressure of the transaction soon fell on He Yulan, who was left behind, because Su Fang began to rush the goods in order to make money quickly. At this moment, the eldest sister was not in the headquarters building, but in a cannery in Tianyang.
"We need automated canning production lines."
He Yulan brought several company technicians and more than a dozen manufacturer representatives from various places. As she turned to ask questions, many people avoided looking at each other, unwilling to look at each other.
There are more than a dozen canneries in Tianyang’s counties and cities, all with backward technology and low production capacity. In order to meet the needs of the Soviet Union, ‘Shengguang’ had to go to Fujian, Hubei, Shandong and other places to raise supplies.
But there is a very embarrassing thing these days. Domestic canning production lines with high production capacity are all imported from Japan. Many product advertisements use this as a selling point.
Before heading to the imperial capital, Zhou Qingfeng sent people to conduct a thorough investigation of the canning industry.
The results of the survey made him very angry. He suggested to the city government to merge the canneries in Tianyang and purchase new production lines to improve quality and efficiency and reduce costs.
However, the city only wants to do the "cultural and entertainment" business to earn foreign exchange, which is easier and more profitable. The canned business does not earn foreign exchange, so there is no motivation.
In desperation, the 'Holy Light' could only do this on its own.
The first thing He Yulan needs to solve is the fully automatic production line. Because currently half of the canneries in Tianyang still rely entirely on manual production, and the efficiency is really low.
The cannery workshop is not big, and all the processes are crowded together. A dozen workers are manually processing a batch of citrus, and the peeled pulp is sent for cooking.
The boiler for boiling fruits is emitting steaming heat, making the entire workshop environment humid and stuffy, making people very uncomfortable.
The representatives behind He Yulan come from many food machinery production units. After ‘Shengguang’ became famous, they immediately contacted them to promote their products.
Some of these units are from Henan, Fujian, Shandong, and Hubei, but they all have a problem - the production line level is lagging behind. It is semi-automated at most and is not as efficient as imported production.
After waiting for half a minute, someone muttered: "Our production line can also be used, why are the requirements so high? We don't need foreign exchange."
He Yulan was quite angry, "I use foreign exchange to buy it, can you build a production line of the same level as foreign countries?"
The person who complained stopped talking.
It’s not that I don’t want to earn foreign exchange, it’s that I really don’t have the ability. Nowadays, college students are very expensive, and there are even fewer people who understand the design of automated assembly lines.
The root cause of China's backward technological level is the backwardness of its talent pool.
After waiting for a long time, no one came forward. He Yulan cursed angrily: "Are you still men? We provide all the technical information, but none of you dare to do it?"
The complainer muttered again, "There's a lot of information on what industrial control and ISO standards are, and we can't understand them at all. Aren't you making things difficult for us?"
They are a bunch of useless people who have no ambition to make progress. They are really disappointing. He Yulan just wants to send these people away.
