Chapter 1288: Good Foreign Trade

"The visit of international friends is a major event for our county, and we cannot slack off. The city has issued instructions that we should do a good job of reception and not affect foreigners' views of us. The reason we asked you to come to the meeting today is to determine the specific reception matters."

In the county's conference room, all members of the county party committee were present. Secretary Gong drank tea and acted as a mascot. County Mayor Xu presided over the meeting. Participants included the heads of relevant units in the county, the textile factory's leading cadres headed by Director Lao Qi and Wang Yan, and the heads of the loom and shoe and clothing factories.

"Wang Yan, you are the only one here with a high level of proficiency and you know foreign languages. You must be the accompanying translator. You are also the main person in charge. So, tell us what you think."

Wang Yan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Regarding the reception of these foreign devils, we must first make one thing clear. That is, the foreign devils are not the fathers of us Chinese, but there is no need to be servile and fawning. I think some comrades put themselves in the position of inferiors right from the start. This is not good, very bad!

We don't have to look down on them from a high position, but at least we have to look at them at eye level. Don't say that we are not as developed as foreign countries, and don't lose your conscience for a little foreign exchange. They are developing as they please, and we will catch up with them sooner or later.

"It is absolutely not okay to show off in our place! No matter how powerful the foreign devils are, didn't we fight against the coalition forces of 22 countries in the Korean War? We drew the line in the Vietnam War, did they dare to come over? We Chinese fought standing up, not kneeling down, and no one can ride on the heads of the Chinese!"

After expressing his attitude, he glanced around and looked at everyone's expressions. He continued, "Of course, they are guests after all, and they come to make money for us. We have always been warm and hospitable. They are friends who come to us and we have good wine, so we must be polite. But we must grasp the degree.

Since they are here to inspect our factory and do business, we will cover the expenses, and the county will just send someone to accompany them. The county doesn’t need to worry about the rest, and we will definitely treat them well.”

County Magistrate Xu was a little skeptical: "Will it work?"

"It has to be done. Who among us has experience in receiving foreign businessmen? Seeing you guys make such a big fuss, I know the county's reception is not good. You must have flattered them, but in the end, those foreign devils still despised you.

They come to buy things, and they buy things in order to return home and raise the price to make money. What do they make money from? Our cheap labor, comrades. This is exploiting the value of our labor!

But who made us poor? There is no way around it. We accept that they want to make money and develop, but in the end, we are not begging them to buy. I heard that there are many people selling jeans at the Canton Fair, so why did we sell more than 600,000 pairs of pants? Why do they come to us for inspection? Because they can make money! Comrades, you still have to grasp this relationship. "

Foreign exchange is in short supply these days, and some people are really weak, so foreign businessmen are supporting them. People are realistic, if they really can't make money, no matter how clean they lick their stinky feet, foreign devils will not come.

County Magistrate Xu shook his head helplessly. He admired Wang Yan's self-confidence and his fearlessness. However, he didn't know that the province and the city had been arguing over such a sum of foreign exchange. The deposit money had been taken away, but they were still arguing about how to distribute it.

He smiled and said, "Are we making a big fuss? Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. The county will send a few people to cooperate with you. I tell you, Wang Yan, if anything goes wrong, it will all be your fault."

"It's just a business. It's just a matter of success or failure. What's the big deal? Dear leaders, don't worry. They are just a few foreigners. There's nothing wrong with them."

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting." County Magistrate Xu waved his hand, looking somewhat bored as if the meeting had not gone well.

"Come on, boss. The people who have the final say are all here. Let's just talk about something else."

As soon as Wang Yan said this, the leaders who were packing up their notebooks and preparing to leave stopped and looked over.

County Magistrate Xu also sat down again: "You go ahead."

"Three things. First, the staff housing in our factory will be completed next month. We made a lot of money from the Canton Fair this time, and we have more money, so we are going to start the second phase of construction. Considering that we will absorb more employees into the factory in the future, we will build 40 buildings this time.

At the current rate of development, 40 buildings are still not enough. This will take a long time to build until all of us live in buildings with electricity and telephones upstairs and downstairs. I think by that time, we in Jinling will have basically escaped poverty.”

"How can we escape poverty? If you keep doing this, by that time, we in Jinling will become rich directly." said a county leader.

"Yeah, who has ever heard of everyone living in the city? Everyone has seen the photo you provided before. The people in the capital don't live as comfortably as the people in Jinling."

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Yan didn't lie. He really did what he told County Magistrate Xu. He really sent the propaganda officer of the factory to Beijing to take a lot of photos. After he came back, he printed black and white photos of the current appearance of the county town and distributed them. The textile factory paid for a large number of them and distributed them for free to all the people in the county.

Of course not everyone has it, but we printed tens of thousands of copies, and everyone passed them around, and everyone read them. It let the people of Jinling know the status of the people of Beijing, and more importantly, let people know the changes in Jinling County.

After all, there are still many people who have never been to the city. They just heard that it is good, but they don’t know how good it is. This time, the county town’s style was also shown to the people of Jinling.

The better the county town is, the better it is for farmers to think of their children living in the city.

In fact, up to now, people from all the villages have entered the factory, it is just a matter of how many people.

This quota is determined by the county.

Originally, there were only two options for rural populations: either join the army or farm. At this time, the army was being dismantled, so you can imagine how difficult it was to join the army, as the number of places was really limited.

Right now the county has taken the textile factory's employee quota to distribute, giving more to poor areas and less or even nothing to rich areas, so that everyone benefits.

Of course, in general, Wang Yan's idea is still being implemented, that is, to solve the problems in the poorest areas first, because that area has the most quotas and the most agricultural machinery. It is to liberate the labor force and share the pressure from below. Rural children can work in textile factories and take care of their families in the countryside, so that those who move to the city or stay in the village can all live a good life...

Wang Yan's action was undoubtedly successful. No one present had such a mysterious veil about Beijing. They all thought that Beijing was just like that, and the people in the capital were not as comfortable as us.

Only County Magistrate Xu pulled his lips together, not knowing what to say...

After such a lively conversation, Wang Yan talked about the second thing.

"The conditions in the factory are good now, and we should give preferential treatment to our old cadres. They are all old revolutionaries who have worked for most of their lives, and we should let them enjoy themselves. So I propose that the textile factory pay for the construction of a rest home for old cadres. We should find a good place in our county, where those who retire and recuperate can enjoy it, which can be regarded as retirement benefits."

Without waiting for others to agree, County Magistrate Xu expressed his different opinion first, "Wang Yan, now is not the time to enjoy. Our party cadres should still fully carry forward the revolutionary spirit of hard struggle. We can even build a road if we build a retirement home."

He immediately understood Wang Yan's idea, which was to unite local leading cadres and form a local interest group in Jinling to fight against the city or even the province.

Of course, this confrontation is not rebellion, but being a troublemaker and a scoundrel. When it is advantageous, he will cooperate with the policies of the province and city, and when it is disadvantageous, he will fight back desperately, leaving people helpless.

At the same time, Wang Yan was also winning people's hearts and minds, and in fact became the leader of the entire Jinling interest group, influencing the entire Jinling political and economic ecology. Although he was called the factory director, he was actually the top leader of Jinling.

County Magistrate Xu believed that this situation would not be too far away, just after he was transferred from Jinling...

"Leaders are leaders, they have a far-sighted vision and a crisis mindset." Wang Yan first praised and then criticized, "But leaders, I think that the construction of our county will never end. The roads in the county have been repaired, some roads have been damaged, and some roads need to improve their standards. The people's lives are the same, they want better when they are good, and they want to be richer when they are rich. Where is the end?
Now we have more surplus and better conditions, but our factory does not have the strength to take care of everyone in the county, so we will first pick up the urgent ones and improve the benefits of the old cadres. When we have more spare capacity in the future, we will build buildings for everyone in the county, increase their wages, and improve their benefits. We will even rebuild the office building where we are now, a bigger and better one.

You can't get rich overnight, you have to take it step by step. Leaders, don't you agree? "

"I agree." Secretary Gong was the first to express his opinion. "Wang Yan, you finally remembered the difficulties of the county and took the initiative to propose solutions. That's great."

"Secretary Gong, rest assured. I will keep up the good work and set new records." Wang Yan responded with a smile, as if he had never scolded Secretary Gong before.

The mascot took the lead, and the others naturally agreed, because there were still quite a few people among them who could enjoy the treatment.

Secretary Gong himself is also fine. He is not a local, but he has worked here for many years. He doesn't want to leave. If he stays here, who can argue with him? Otherwise, why would he jump out and take the lead?

So, even though County Chief Xu had expressed his stance, the county voted to choose a location with beautiful scenery to build a retirement home.

This was the initial confrontation between the local faction and the outsider leadership. In the end, County Chief Xu, who held great power in the county, was defeated. The Jinling Group had already reached its peak after just a small trial run...

County Magistrate Xu shook his head helplessly: "Okay, let's move forward with this matter. Tell me about your third matter."

"At present, we have bottlenecks in both the manufacture of looms and agricultural machinery, which prevents us from making better looms and agricultural machinery. The reason lies in the materials!
The steel, aluminum and other materials provided by our county can no longer meet the needs of textile factories in terms of various properties. It is impossible to continue to produce these products. We are not invincible, we are even backward, so the materials must be changed and improved.

If we purchase from outside, the good days of the relevant factories in the county will be over. If we don't purchase from outside, they won't be able to do it. So I propose to merge the relevant steel mills, aluminum mills and other material factories into the textile factory, unify their management, and increase related R&D expenses. "Xu, the county magistrate, smiled and said, "This is a situation that we have thought of long ago, and we are prepared. Let's vote by raising our hands."

As expected, it passed unanimously.

So after the meeting, all the relevant units started to move. Those who were selecting sites went out to visit, those who were building houses began to increase the purchase of materials, the government began to assign labor quotas to the communes below, and the industrial and commercial departments began to find steel mills and other factories to promote mergers...

The completion of this meeting also marked the increase of the number of employees in the textile factory by more than 3,000, and the number of employees was approaching 10,000. Basically, most of the labor force in the city entered the textile factory.

All affairs were progressing in an orderly manner. Old Li, who was attending the Canton Fair, also led a team of fourteen people back to Jinling.

Wang Yan personally took action and communicated in English.

"Welcome to our Jinling for inspection. I am... I believe that making money is the most important thing for you. Shall we go directly to visit the factory?"

"Wang, you are absolutely right. Let's go to your factory and let us see the clothes you design."

"Wang Sang, please give me your guidance."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the Japanese devils who suddenly appeared.

"This is the representative of Toyota Machinery." Lao Li said on the side, his tone somewhat unfriendly.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Are you here to spy on the military?"

"Mr. Wang, you misunderstood. We just heard that your factory's water jet loom was built by you from scratch and mass-produced in a very short time, so we followed Mr. Jason to take a look."

Nodding without comment, Wang Yan greeted everyone with a smile and went to the shoe and clothing factory first.

As for the sighs and the undisguised disdain of the bunch of foreigners, he ignored them. China is indeed still backward, and it is not good to force people to like it if they dislike it. If they don't say anything unpleasant, he will just ignore it. After all, nine out of ten foreigners who come to China now look down on it. If they really care about everything, they can't do business.

Just bear the humiliation and develop with gritted teeth. No one is optimistic about our future, so we have to strive for excellence...

The foreign devils came here to make money, and there was no other mess. These were all people in the textile business. They stayed for a total of three days and visited the shoe and clothing factory, textile factory, and loom weaving factory. In addition, Wang Yan also took them to see the trial production of sanitary napkins, and they were recognized by the Japanese in many aspects.

In terms of manufacturing, Japan is very strong, and many domestic machines come from Japan. This was the time when Japan was in its heyday, recovering well after the war, and the economy was booming, and it had not yet begun to disappear for the next twenty years.

Japan's famous city pop music style fully demonstrated the glory of Japan at that time. The more representative songs include Cathy, Stay with Me...

The deal was of course done, and we purchased 600,000 denim jackets and 300,000 pairs of white canvas sneakers. This pushed the value of the deal to tens of millions of dollars, and we also paid a 30% deposit.

The looms didn't sell as well as the shoes and clothes, but they still sold over a million dollars, and they made money. They could earn half more by exporting one. Although it wasn't much compared to the domestic sales, it was still good. After all, there was still next year, and there would be customers who would come to them later.

As long as we iterate normally and study automation in advance, the future is still promising...

The arrival of a Japanese machinery company made the leaders of the factory and the county very worried. They were worried that the Japanese would engage in dumping, which would affect the loom sales business of Jinling and further affect the development of the entire Jinling.

Wang Yan still gave everyone a reassurance, saying that the sales of Japanese machines have not been affected and the domestic market demand is huge. Other machinery companies, including those in Japan, will not be so unwise. As long as there is steady growth, they will not make any big moves.

He also said that what he said before was just to scare them, to make them feel a sense of crisis and be more motivated. So he got a lot of blessings from people who didn't show it, but they were definitely from the bottom of their hearts...

Of course, the city and the province once again had a dispute over the issue of foreign exchange, and even Beijing joined in this time. They immediately locked onto Jinling, and then learned about the trade volume in detail. After that, Jinling had nothing to do, and it was all just a fight between gods.

Because of the urgent need for foreign exchange, various equipment and resources need to be purchased from abroad. This time, Jinling's trade volume is equivalent to 1% of the total foreign exchange reserves. This number, compared with the small Jinling County to the entire country, also reflects how great the influence and importance of Jinling County is, and how awesome Jinling County is, selling clothes can sell tens of millions of US dollars.

When the inspection team from Beijing came back, the situation of Jinling was also reported in the newspapers, and it was commended nationwide. Before the commendation was over, the news that Jinling County earned tens of millions of foreign exchange was reported in the newspapers again.

The people of Jinling are proud, the employees of the textile factory are proud, and the sense of honor in this era is beyond words.

But these were not enough to excite the workers in the textile factory. They had something even more exciting...

It was the end of December. The cold wind blew the tiny snowflakes sideways, and they melted away before they fell to the ground.

However, despite the cold wind, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the textile factory employees, because today, the house was delivered.

All the factory workers, whether they were on the first list or not, came to the construction site and watched the excitement. The situation was completely out of control. At this time, no matter how good the leadership skills were, it would not work. Unless the teacher stood here, no one's words would work. Everyone had to look at the house.

Although the workers had already inspected the site inside and out when it was still a construction site, and even had a few fights with the farmers because of the workers' pointing and nagging, it still did not affect the workers' enthusiasm.

Those who were allocated houses came to see their own houses, and those who were not allocated houses also gathered around, and some even went into the newly built houses to take a look at the conditions.

"Hey, there's heating?"

"You just know?"

"I work in the steel mill."

"Oh, then you just wait. I heard that the second phase will build 40 buildings. If you are not there next year, you should be there the year after. It will only take the next two years."

"What about you?"

"I'm one step ahead of you. I work at the paper mill. The list came out a few days ago and our factory is on it. It looks like we'll be able to move in next year. It's all first come, first served, according to the order we entered the factory, so don't worry."

“Why isn’t the heater hot?”

"It is said that our county is going to build a thermal power station, and we will use the heat from there to heat this side. It will take two years. Be content, our factory director is very good. We didn't have heating here originally, but he said that not having heating does not mean it's not cold. It just happened to solve the electricity problem in our factory, and the heat can be used, so we still added heating, and it cost a lot of extra money."

"so good."

"Yes."

At this time, a woman came over, holding her waist and glaring at the two of them.

"I say, you two, are you done yet? This is my home! Just take a look, how about you two move in?"

"That would be great."

"Yes, we would like to."

"Rolling, rolling, rolling..."

"Hahaha……"

The workers are happy, the people are happy, and the laughter is joyful...

Wang Yan was smoking a cigarette, and he was happy with the other workers who were watching the excitement.

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
