Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1121 New Policy

"Does your factory need foreign exchange so much now?" Li Hao asked.

"Mayor Li, let me tell you the truth, our Tianyin Electronics Factory is not only short of foreign exchange, but also has a very large foreign exchange gap!" Duan Yun frowned slightly, and continued: "At present, our factory is developing a new electronic product. , some of the key components must be imported from abroad. According to preliminary statistics, the annual foreign exchange cost of importing these components alone will reach 1 million US dollars. In addition, our factory is also planning to introduce a new production line. Fang’s quotation is more than 000 million US dollars... These are important materials related to the future development prospects of our factory. Nowadays, there are almost no places to exchange foreign exchange in Shenzhen. Even if we want to buy it, it is impossible, so I think Since our factory earns more than 800 million foreign exchange through export every year, can the government reserve more foreign exchange for us? Once our enterprise develops in the future, it will definitely bring more foreign exchange to our SZ city government and the country..."

Duan Yun's words were quite sincere. He only knew that he didn't often have the opportunity to talk face-to-face with Mayor Li. Since he had such an opportunity, he had to make some requests of his own.

"More than 1000 million U.S. dollars..." Hearing this, Li Hao was also taken aback. He didn't expect Duan Yun's electronics factory to need so much foreign exchange funds.

In fact, 80% of domestic export production enterprises are not foreign exchange-using units, because most of the domestic exports are resources and primary products, and they are not very dependent on imports. It is the first time Li Hao has heard of a private company like Duan Yun who needs more than 1000 million US dollars in foreign exchange.

If the bosses of other private companies made such a request, Li Hao would probably not agree to it, but Duan Yun is different. Their Tianyin Electronics Factory is the leader of private electronics companies in SZ City, and Duan Yun is also responsible for municipal construction. After donating so much money, no matter what, he had to seriously consider Duan Yun's request.

"Actually, the country has always had incentive policies for export-earning enterprises, but these export-earning incentive policies are limited to state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises do not have clear export incentive regulations..." Li Hao thought for a while, and then said: "I can Find a way to generate 5% of the total amount of foreign exchange for your company to retain..."

The foreign exchange retention system is a foreign exchange allocation system in which the state allocates part of foreign exchange to foreign exchange earning units in a certain proportion in order to encourage the enthusiasm of local departments and enterprises to earn foreign exchange through export.

In the early 80s, there were almost no private enterprises in China that could become export-earning enterprises. Even Lu Guanqiu, which exported universal joints to the US General The shareholding reform was carried out, so the foreign exchange retention system has always been aimed at state-owned enterprises.

As a private company, Duan Yun also wants to get the foreign exchange retention rewarded by the state, which is very difficult. First of all, there is no clear policy regulation. Another point is that even if the local government permits, the proportion of foreign exchange retention for enterprises will not be too high. .

"Only 5%..." Hearing this, Duan Yun suddenly showed a disappointed look.

"Don't think it's too little, even if it's 5%, I have to hold a meeting and negotiate with various departments before I can get it for you." Li Hao said.

"Is it so difficult?" Duan Yun asked in surprise.

What Duan Yun didn't know was that it was really not an easy task for Li Hao to fight for Duan Yun's 5% foreign exchange retention.

Because in the current domestic government departments, there is a problem of foreign exchange segmentation. 60% of the foreign exchange earned is owned by the state, and the current department retains 22%. 18%, while there are more than 100 departments that retain foreign exchange, 29 provinces and municipalities, the conditions are intertwined, and they are independent, forming "remittance approval points" of different sizes. The remittance approval department has always been a favorite. Right, various departments in the local government are arguing endlessly for this, and sometimes the main leaders of the region must come forward to coordinate.

Therefore, it is not easy for Li Hao to "get" 5% of Duan Yun's foreign exchange retention from the relevant departments of the municipal government. Because there is no clear policy regulation, Li Hao can only use his own authority to find the relevant foreign exchange approval department to be responsible. He talked with others and won an export earning reward for Duan Yun.

"There are some things you may not understand. Foreign exchange retention has always been a very sensitive issue, and I can't go into details with you here." Li Hao paused, and then said: "In fact, since last year, the country has issued documents to raise The proportion of foreign exchange retained by enterprises earning foreign exchange through export has been greatly improved compared to the past. As far as I know, the proportion of foreign exchange retained by export in HZ City has increased by nearly 4 times compared to before the implementation of the new ratio. Our special zone has also increased by three times. times, but this policy is only aimed at some key export-earning enterprises, and the maximum retention ratio of enterprises can reach 12%, but there are many conditions in it..."

"What conditions?" Duan Yun asked.

"It must be a national key mechanical and electrical enterprise, and the annual foreign exchange earning exceeds 1000 million, so that it is possible to retain about 12% of foreign exchange for the enterprise." Li Hao said.

"We are also an electromechanical company!" Duan Yun's eyes lit up, and he continued: "In addition, our company also has great potential, and can earn more than 1 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange every year!"

"It's a pity that you are not a national key mechanical and electrical enterprise..." Li Hao sighed, and then said: "But you don't have to be disappointed. As far as I know, our country's new foreign exchange retention method reform plan will be introduced this year. The new plan may require Shenzhen. Zhuhai, Shantou, Xiamen 4 Special Economic Zones and Hainan Island Guangzhou Huangpu Development Zone and XZ trade foreign exchange retention rate will be 100%, Guangxi and other minority areas will be 50%, and other areas will be 30%~25%. If this plan can be implemented If so, then we in Shenzhen can retain all the foreign exchange earned from export, and then our city government can greatly increase the retention ratio of export enterprises in SZ City!"

"That's great!" Hearing this, Duan Yun suddenly showed joy.

In fact, the new foreign exchange retention policy was introduced two months later, that is, in June 1986. According to the new policy, SZ City gets 6% of the foreign exchange retention from trade, and enterprises that earn foreign exchange through export can retain up to 100%. % of foreign exchange, the introduction of this policy has greatly promoted the development of export enterprises in SZ City.

"So my suggestion is that you wait patiently for the time being, and I will do my best to help you solve the problem of foreign exchange retention." Li Hao smiled slightly, and then asked, "Do you have any other difficulties?"

"No more!" Duan Yun replied very simply.

In Duan Yun's view, as long as the government can help their factory solve the foreign exchange problem, other things can be easily solved. Once his Tianyin Electronics Factory has enough foreign exchange, Duan Yun can start to develop in the next step. Plans for the international market...
