1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 640 Price
Spring outings have been very popular in China since the late 1970s, and the situation did not gradually change until the mid-1990s.

As for outing, such a relaxing and leisurely atmosphere is definitely nothing to do with the farmers who are rushing to plow the fields and sow seeds.

In fact, the main force of this kind of leisure activity that seems to allow close contact with nature has always been urban residents and state-owned enterprise employees.

Therefore, even though she is so busy at work that she cannot even take weekends off, Miss Mu will still find ways to squeeze out some time, get off work on time, and then light a charcoal fire in her own yard. She will sit on a chair, enjoying the gradually warming spring breeze and the afterglow of the sunset, while casually grilling something and pretending that the couple is going out for a spring outing.

Yang Mo has always adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards this kind of petty-bourgeois behavior.

Men in Qi and Lu have never had anything to do with the word "joy of life", and they know nothing about enjoying life.
Although Yang Mo always believed that lying down on a rocking chair, covering his face with a large cattail leaf fan, and taking a nap with his eyes closed like a waste was the highest respect for Haruhi;

But since my wife is willing to do it, then just let her do it... I don't have to lift a finger anyway.

………………

"Uncle, your favorite chicken butt is ready. Salt and pepper or chili?"

Lazily using a bamboo stick to poke a piece of phoenix tail meat on the iron net that was only the size of a bowl, Miss Mu turned her head to look at a mollusk on the recliner and pushed him unhappily.

It is said that women are like the two-faced Eve, with two faces in front of others and behind their backs, but their men are definitely no different.

Who would have thought that General Manager Yang, who is so majestic outside and can make people silent with just one look, looks so lazy like a street urchin at home?

What made her even more speechless was that the taste of this thing was really terrible.

Logically speaking, although my man usually eats lunch in the cafeteria like other company employees, he has experienced many kinds of entertainment in the past two years and has eaten a lot of delicacies. I prepare all kinds of delicious food for him in different ways every day.

But even now, he still has no pursuit of delicious food. His favorite things are roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chicken butts.

It would be fine if it was just roasted sweet potatoes, she could think that her man was just being nostalgic and couldn't forget the taste of his childhood.

But what the hell is a chicken butt!?
That thing...is it acceptable to normal people?
Hearing his wife's reminder, Yang Mo, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and waved his hand happily: "Chili powder! Phoenix tail meat must be coated with chili powder!"

Seeing this weakling with almost zero resistance to chili peppers willing to risk his mouth getting swollen for a chicken butt, Miss Mu curled her lips, dipped the chicken butt on the bamboo stick in the chili pepper dish, and handed it directly to her man: "I heard that Zhu'a Town has launched several new pear blossom wines, which are still fruit wines. You went there in vain and didn't even bring a bottle back... How appropriate would it be to have a glass of pear blossom wine when the flowers are still in bloom?"

Yang Mo bit the chicken butt into his mouth and started to chew it. "Why don't I just make a phone call tomorrow and ask someone to send two bottles over? We're planning to export them anyway, so there must be samples at the product development center."

Miss Mu glared at him in reproach: "How can they be the same? What you bring back in person is called a gift, but what I send over is called work!"

"It's a pity that I always think of you every time I go on a business trip, always thinking about bringing you something you like, but you forget about me completely when you go on a business trip."

Yang Mo rolled her eyes. "Sister, can we not make random accusations? I just spent the whole day in Zhua Town yesterday. After attending the opening ceremony, Gao Chang pulled me over to chat for the whole afternoon. How could I have the time to pick a gift for you?"

Miss Mu was shocked when she heard this: "Gao Chang kept you chatting for the whole afternoon? What happened?"

She worked overtime yesterday and came back late. By the time she got home, Yang Mo, who had been forced to drink a few glasses of wine by Gao Qingfeng at the dinner table, had already fallen asleep like a dead pig. That's why she only found out about this now.

Given Gao Qingfeng's position, it was a bit unreasonable for him to appear in Zhu'a Town to attend the opening ceremony of a local pear blossom festival. And he spent the entire afternoon chatting with Yang Mo, which even a fool could guess was amiss... For someone at Gao Qingfeng's level, time is definitely more precious than gold. How could he chat with someone for an entire afternoon unless there was something particularly important?

Seeing that his wife had habitually entered the working state again, Yang Mo spread his hands helplessly: "What else can it be? Seeing that we have too much business here, they want us to support the work of the province!"

Mu Liya frowned when she heard this: "Again?"

She actually had some opinions about giving up half of the equity of three super-large commodity wholesale market projects last time. After all, those three super-large commodity wholesale markets are not only important circulation channels for various commodities within the framework of the Shandong-Henan-Hebei Industrial Manufacturing Cooperation, but also related to the circulation of some island country commodities in the country. It is very important for her subsequent brand overseas expansion plan... After all, international trade requires give and take. If the circulation of imported commodities from island countries in China is not smooth, then her bargaining chips will be much smaller when seeking further cooperation.

This time, Texas’ industrial acceptance work is actually based on the same principle.

Indeed, judging from the surface, the increase in production capacity brought about by this large-scale cooperation negotiation has exceeded the current human resources and social public goods, especially the upper limit of electricity supply in Texas. There is nothing wrong with sharing some of the profits of the projects to support the work of the province.

But the problem is that this action was carefully designed!
Those industrial projects that are beyond the capacity of the Dezhou area will be used as bargaining chips to exchange for some resources and support... The rest of the cities within the framework of the Shandong-Henan-Hebei Industrial Manufacturing Cooperation, Lanling, and even Dongying where the command center is located, are all targets of attack.

Dongying is particularly important. It is directly related to the advancement of the local worker-peasant relations and the central-local integration work of the command, whether the living environment of the command can be effectively improved, and whether the Mu family can chew this hard bone that is the headache of the command, thereby gaining greater voice!
Don't think this is a joke. Dongying in later generations is only famous for crude oil extraction, oil refining, and oil equipment manufacturing, but the rest of the manufacturing industry, especially the light manufacturing industry that can absorb a large number of foreign population, is pitifully weak. Once the tertiary industry enterprises under the command can be used as a basis to effectively improve the industrial structure of Dongying area, not only can the relationship between workers and peasants on the command side be effectively improved, but once these light manufacturing industries develop and form an industrial cluster scale, it is not unimaginable that a subtle change in the active and passive relationship will occur.

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Mu Liya's face, Yang Mo smiled and said, "Since we are talking about this matter, it just so happens that you have been connecting and negotiating with the companies in the island country recently. There will be several batches of companies from the island country coming here next month. You can continue to preside over this work, and there is no need to hand it over to Sister Zhuo... But I will explain some things at the same time."

After saying that, Yang Mo pondered for a moment and threw the bamboo stick in his hand into a nearby trash can. "Didn't I go to the capital for a meeting more than half a month ago? After the meeting, I went to visit Mr. Hashimoto to communicate and explain the cooperation with Sankyo Co., Ltd., Tsumura Pharmaceutical and other companies from the originally envisioned CMO to the CRDMO/CTDMO model."

"Somewhat contrary to my expectations, Mr. Hashimoto did not have any dissatisfaction with this deeper cooperation framework. Instead, he quite agreed with it. He felt that this model of in-depth cooperation could, to a certain extent, suppress the drug prices in the island country, reduce the pressure on the medical budget, and even, to a certain extent, prevent the European and American countries from eroding the pharmaceutical sector of the island country's capital market... At the very least, it could slow down the erosion."

After a pause, Yang Mo turned his head and looked at Miss Mu, who had a slightly puzzled expression: "Of course, this is not the point."

"The point is, it seems that Mr. Hashimoto was somewhat disappointed with some of Miyamoto's performance after taking office, so he told me a piece of news... Currently, in order to cope with the increasingly weak economy, the island country has decided to launch their rural revitalization plan to divert the huge population in the country's urban economic circle and stimulate the country's demand and economy through large-scale infrastructure construction."

"The first phase of this rural revitalization plan is expected to take three years."

"Although the final launch date and investment budget have not been determined yet, from what Mr. Hashimoto has learned, it is roughly certain that this island country's rural revitalization plan will be launched in the second half of this year... and the total investment amount in the first phase will not be less than 20 trillion yen (actually 25 trillion)."

At this point, Yang Mo's mouth curled up in a strange arc: "Infrastructure, of course, requires a lot of cement, steel, river sand, cables, wires, chemical materials, and even slag and some special operation vehicles;"

"Given the objective conditions of an island country, if we want to achieve rural revitalization, the focus cannot be on planting and industry, but on the service industry, mainly tourism."

"This means that they still have a huge demand for building materials, decoration supplies, furniture, handicrafts, tableware, bedding, hotel toiletries, special clothing, flowers, etc. After all, the development of rural tourism must start with accommodation!"

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up: "Three years, at least 20 trillion yen in spending budget, this is an enormous pie."

"Although Mr. Hashimoto said that he is willing to work hard for us, there are European and American capitals outside, a number of interest groups in the island countries inside, and countless relationships that need to be sorted out on the Chinese side. Even if Mr. Hashimoto is willing to work hard for us, the trade share we can get in the end will not be very much."

Gently spreading his thumb and index finger, Yang Mo thought for a moment: "800 billion yen, this is my estimate; the most conservative number will not be less than 500 billion yen."

"After all, given the locational advantages of Qilu and the quality control level of some products in Dezhou, it would be unreasonable if the price was any lower... The island countries do want to purchase the necessary materials for infrastructure at the lowest possible cost, so as to squeeze out more budget to pay the wages of their own workers, but this does not mean that they will completely ignore quality."

The demand for materials is at least 500 billion yen?

Muliya took a deep breath and then nodded in approval.

Although the Southern Tour Speech has made it clear that China will take a deeply market-oriented approach, due to the short time span, China's state-owned enterprises are still the absolute economic entities.

As for state-owned enterprises, the quality of products produced by many units is really hard to describe.

Have you ever seen a company that produces water tanks? Is their only quality control method to wait until the water tanks are produced, fill them with water, hang them up to see if there are any leaks? If so, do they use a welding gun to weld them?
Have you ever seen a product number that turned out to be three completely different accessories, which required fine-tuning and polishing before they could be installed after purchase?

Why has Dezhou become a star city in the northern region in just three years, and why has it been able to attract hundreds of foreign companies to discuss cooperation and even industrial takeover at one time when investment promotion work in various places is struggling?

A very important reason is that a considerable part of the industrial links in Dezhou area are currently decentralized to village-level enterprises. Under the strong requirements of Dahua Company, these enterprises can do a good job in quality control and produce a large number of products that meet the standards.

In fact, China's most annoying problem at the moment is not the lack of business, but the fact that too many companies are not doing their best, with weak efficiency and quality, and are simply unable to meet the needs of foreign customers; and these two points precisely reflect the local workers' comprehensive quality, management level and obedience to management, which are among the factors that foreign investors value most.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Texas can attract so many investors to discuss cooperation... Although there are still quite a few problems in the state-owned enterprises in Texas, they can just avoid this problem! Similarly, if the situation permits, in the past year or so, Texas has also been one of the regions that overseas companies in some fields give priority to when purchasing.

There is no other reason, the quality is relatively guaranteed and the risk cost is lower.

Therefore, in Miss Mu's opinion, the figure estimated by her husband is too conservative. In her opinion, with Mr. Hashimoto's involvement, it would be appropriate to raise the minimum trade volume to 1 trillion yen.

………………

Yang Mo naturally didn't know that he had once again solidified the "negative" stereotype in his woman's mind, and he continued to talk: "Although the minimum trade volume of 500 billion yen in three years is already a number that cannot be underestimated, under the chain effect, these trade volumes can generate several times or even ten times the leverage;"

"However, these 500 billion yen cannot be considered as one. I intend to divide it into two parts: materials needed for public facilities and materials needed for commercial structures."

"The former will account for about 3500 billion yen in actual terms, while the latter will account for about 1500 billion yen."

"So, my plan is..."

"Ya'er, when you negotiate with those Japanese companies, although the contracts will be signed in the name of Dahua Company or Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company, we will only act as a general contractor in the actual operation... There is no other way. Although I promised Gao Changhui to support the work of the province, if we don't come forward to sign this contract, the other party may not be willing to sign it."

“And once the contract is signed, the order for steel frame structural products must be reserved for the city.”

"This is an industry that Old You has been eyeing for a long time. He almost had a conflict with me because of this, so I have to consider his feelings... In short, after the order is given to him, whether he keeps all the production capacity in the city, or cooperates with Jinan or other cities in Hebei, we don't care, just make sure the quality is checked during acceptance."

"As for cement and river sand, we need to pay special attention to them. After all, the demand is very large and they are also the most likely to have problems.

"So, I need you to send trusted personnel to Zibo, Tai'an, and Rizhao as soon as possible to conduct a detailed investigation of the relevant companies in this area, and then make a list of suitable ones. I will then hand it over to Gao Chang, and he will make the final decision."

At this point, Yang Mo instructed: "Remember, remember, you can only select suppliers from these three regions, and they must be municipal state-owned enterprises... In addition, when negotiating with the Japanese representatives, you must also choose Rizhao as the port for shipping materials!"

Mu Liya immediately understood and nodded: "I understand."

Yang Mo hummed, "For example, cables, wires, and power distribution facilities, these three categories of products are similar. The only difference is that when choosing companies to undertake orders, Tai'an should be crossed out, and only companies in Zibo and Rizhao should be selected. In addition, for cable orders, local provincial companies can also be appropriately considered."

Mu Liya could easily figure out the connection: "Okay, I understand. Anything else?"

Yang Mo smiled and said, "As for steel bars and slag, they are actually one and the same. But we don't need to worry about this. Gao Chang will assign us a business contractor when the time comes... But I still say that when signing a contract, the terms must be clearly marked and the formal acceptance procedures must be followed. Once the product quality does not meet the standards, it will be rejected. No one's face will be saved. Goodwill is the foundation of our existence. We must never forget this."

Mu Liya nodded, thought for a moment, and tilted her head: "Anything else?"

There were quite a lot of orders for these items, but it was obviously not enough for Gao Qingfeng to keep Yang Mo chatting for an entire afternoon.

Yang Mo spread his hands and said, "For the rest, such as furniture, decorative crafts, bedding, tableware, etc., the province will hold a trade fair in Dezhou. Any enterprise in the province and within the framework of the Shandong-Henan-Hebei Industrial Manufacturing Cooperation can sign up to participate... How many orders can be obtained from customers at that time depends entirely on our ability. At that time, we only need to take care of the enterprises on the list provided by Gao Chang at the booth."

After saying that, Yang Mo sighed and his face became serious: "Of course, this alone is not enough, so, while you are still negotiating industrial cooperation with some Japanese companies..."

"I need you to renegotiate some things with them."

"First, it depends on the situation. For industries such as pumps, valves, and electromechanical equipment, as much as possible can be transferred to Zibo after obtaining the consent of the Japanese company representatives...but the scale of the industry cannot be less than 3000 million per year."

"Second, I need you to try your best to persuade the other party to let the Japanese company representatives agree to transfer all the mid-to-high-end pulp and paper industries, especially the cooperative manufacturing of cultural paper and lyocell fibers, to Rizhao... If the negotiations have been completed before, try to reopen them."

"Third, depending on the situation, for some hydrocarbon aldehyde fine chemical cooperation projects, we will try our best to persuade the other party to move the project location to Rizhao. If the other party objects, we can promise that Dezhou and the province will give preferential policies, raw materials, and technical support to the project... Gao Chang attaches great importance to this, so the number of hydrocarbon aldehyde fine chemical cooperation projects transferred cannot be less than 2, and the industrial scale cannot be less than 1.5 million per year!"

"Fourth, for the life and health projects centered on GAP Chinese medicinal materials and classic Chinese medicine formulas, I need you to coordinate with Jincun Pharmaceutical to transfer the project location to Rizhao... These transferred projects do not need to adopt the CRDMO framework, but at least the CTDMO model must be maintained... The number of subdivided projects must not be less than 8!"

Hiss~! !
Miss Mu took a breath.

If she was only slightly dissatisfied with the transfer of trade orders based on the island nation's major infrastructure projects, then the subsequent explanations were difficult for her to accept.

Especially the third and fourth ones, the things involved are far more than just numbers, it can be said to be a real big hemorrhage!

"Yang Mo... this isn't worth it!"

Miss Mu's voice sounded a little agitated, and her eyes were filled with anger.

No matter how high Gao Qingfeng's status is or how important his influence is, it is not worth Yang Mo paying such a huge price.

Dezhou is a pilot city for the tax-sharing reform, and Dezhou Urban Development Company has a large industrial fund to support it, so there is no need to be so afraid of Gao Qingfeng.

It was obvious that she thought her man was threatened by Gao Qingfeng.

Seeing this, Yang Mo just smiled, but his eyes became sharp: "No, it's totally worth it!"

"As long as I can let Wei Hongjun and the Wei family know the consequences of angering me, this small price is totally worth it!"

!!!

Wei Hongjun?
Mu Liya was stunned for a moment: "Yang Mo, why did you suddenly decide to attack Wei Hongjun?"

"Isn't this too reckless? Although the Wei family has little intersection with our oil system, its power is not small!"

"Besides... Sister Zhuo's matter has not been investigated clearly yet. What if it wasn't Wei Hongjun's doing?"

At the end of her speech, Mu Liya's face was full of worry, and she was obviously quite afraid of the Wei family.

Yang Mo snorted coldly: "Whether there is evidence or not is not important!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's Wei Hongjun or not!"

"Wei Hongjun is not a good person anyway. It doesn't matter if he was wrongly accused... Besides, apart from him, I really can't think of anyone else who would have the motive to do this to me."

"The important thing is..."

"Now everyone knows that my foundation is unstable, and everyone knows where my shortcomings are. Even if Wei Hongjun doesn't pop up today, there will definitely be a Ma Hongjun who will pop up tomorrow and use this kind of dirty trick on me!"

“One strike is enough to prevent a hundred blows!”

"Since I can't avoid it either way, I might as well have a good fight and let everyone know that I, Yang, am not someone you can easily pin down!"

"As long as we can deter those villains and stabilize our market, this small price... is totally worth it!"

completely……

Is it worth it?
Mu Liya stared at her man in a daze, and suddenly there was a hint of confusion in her eyes...
