Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 132 88. The machine was detained

Sanzang bid farewell to He Yushui and Lou Xiaochen, came to the door of the factory director's office, reached out and knocked on the door gently,

"Come in!" A middle-aged man's thick voice came from inside.

Sanzang gently opened the door and asked Lou Xiaochen to come in.

"Who are you two?"

Lou Xiaochen stepped forward and handed over a business card in English, speaking fluent Hong Kong dialect,
Factory Manager Ma frowned upon hearing this, with a bewildered expression on his face.

Seeing this, Sanzang hurried forward to translate,

"Mr. Ma, hello! This is Mr. Lou Xiaochen, the general manager of Hong Kong City HSZ Investment Company.

He just made a big deal with the Foreign Trade Bureau for 160 million marks,
Director Yang introduced us. This is a letter of introduction. "

Factory Manager Ma took a look at the letter of introduction and became enthusiastic immediately.

"It turned out that it was introduced by the old leader, who did I think it was?
Sit, sit, sit!How is the old leader?I haven't visited him in a while! "

"He's in good health. I'm going to trouble the director of the horse factory this time."

"What trouble is it? It's a little handy thing.

correct!Who are you to this General Manager Lou?I think he trusts you very much. "

"I'm his part-time economic adviser. What's up?"

"It's like this, if Mr. Lou has any business that the rolling mill can do in the future, we can actually cooperate!"

Sanzang Miaoknows that since 81, the state has allowed enterprises to sell part of their products on the premise of completing the plan.

Its price is determined by the market, which is the dual-track price system.

Now the country suffers from "foreign exchange hunger and thirst", and every enterprise has the task of earning foreign exchange through export.

If the factory director Ma can sell the unplanned products for foreign exchange, it will be of great benefit to the rolling mill and himself.

"I understand! If the opportunity is right, I will speak to Mr. Lou."

"Then thank you so much!" Director Ma raised his hand and looked at his watch.
"I don't think it's too early,
Or Mr. Lou and Consultant Huang have lunch at the rolling mill before leaving,

The convoy will leave in the afternoon. "

Sanzang deliberately looked at Lou Xiaochen, seeing him nodding his head slowly,

"Then thank you very much! Such a warm invitation, we will be disrespectful!"

"Okay, okay! Mr. Lou, please! Consultant Huang, please!"

Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen followed the factory manager Ma to the small canteen of the rolling mill,
Revisiting the old place, Sanzang feels somewhat different from others.

"Director Huang?! Why are you here?"

Suddenly an exclamation interrupted Sanzang's thoughts, and after a closer look,
"Liu Lan?! You are still working in the cafeteria!"

"Where else do I manage if I don't work in the cafeteria?"

"Well! That's right."

"That's right! Didn't you get transferred to teach in a university?
You called back again? "

"That's right! I'm here to do some business in the rolling mill today!"

"Oh! I heard that Silly Zhu went to work in the small restaurant you opened and earned a lot of money?"

"It's okay! It's at Juyou Restaurant in Shichahai, you can go and have a look if you have time,
Maybe Sha Zhu misses you as an old friend! "

"Okay! I have to go and have a look when I have time!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Factory Manager Ma's face was a bit ugly, one of his cooks was chatting passionately with his distinguished guests, what's the matter.

"I'm sorry! Director Ma! The food will be ready soon, so I'll bring it here."

"Go, go! Come, come! Mr. Lou and Consultant Huang, please sit down!"

"Master Ma, please!"

"How did Consultant Huang meet a cook in our rolling mill?"

"To be honest, I used to be the deputy director of the rolling mill for more than ten years, and I am also familiar with this small room.

The current Director Yang was the director of the rolling mill at that time, so he can be regarded as my old leader! "

"Oh! The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple. The whole family didn't know each other.
We were polite for a long time just now!Later, we must have a few drinks! "

"Good talk! Everyone in the rolling mill knows I can't drink much,
But you can have a few more drinks with Mr. Lou! "

After finishing speaking, Sanzang patted the director of the horse factory lightly on the arm.

Director Ma Miao understood, "That's right! I want to toast Mr. Lou a few more glasses of wine."

After Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen were full of wine and food, the factory director Ma personally sent them to the rest room of the car team to rest, and set off with the car team when the time came.

He also personally asked the captain of the car team to take care of them. After the matter was settled, he walked briskly away.

When the rest room was empty, Lou Xiaochen said to Sanzang:
"That's not right! There's no need for him, the director of a large factory with nearly ten thousand people, to be so enthusiastic about us!"

"You don't quite understand! He also wants to do business with us, earn some foreign exchange or something."

Sanzang told him in detail about the dual-track price system.

"But we don't have any business with him now!"

"I don't have any good ideas right now, just take it one step at a time, but it's okay to have a good relationship with him,
At least it will be much more convenient to borrow the big truck from the rolling mill in the future. "

"That's it."

The two of them set off with the convoy around 2:[-] in the afternoon, and arrived at the outskirts of Haijin after two and a half hours.

Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen got off the bus near a bus stop, Sanzang called the captain of the bus aside,
"Captain Yu! Just keep 10 cars after you unload the cargo."

Sanzang then handed him another 300 yuan,

"You take the money first, and treat the brothers to a good meal tonight."

Captain Yu was also polite and took the money, "Thank you on behalf of the brothers!

So how do we meet tomorrow? "

"Tomorrow morning, you will drive to the cargo parking lot in Haijin Port. Are you familiar with that place?"

"Very familiar! We often go there to buy goods!"

"That's good! You don't have to go too early tomorrow, just arrive around 10 o'clock."

"Okay! We'll be there on time tomorrow!"

Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen found a hotel with good conditions near Haijin Port and opened two rooms to rest. They had nothing to say all night.

At around 8 o'clock the next morning, Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen came to the Haijin Port Office,

Knowing that the freighter has arrived at the port through inquiry, Lou Xiaochen took the receipt to handle the delivery and receipt of the goods.

Sanzang wandered around in the hall, learning about the characteristics of the customs service at this time.

When she was tired from shopping, she rested in the waiting area. After waiting for a long time, Lou Xiaochen ran over sweating profusely.

"Things are in trouble! Our machine has been detained!"

"Why? Do you look at this?"

Lou Xiaochen handed over a piece of paper, Sanzang took it and looked at it,
"Alleged evasion of duties? Why?"

"We imported these old machines in the name of scrap metal,
However, the customs inspection found that it was an old machine, and the import tariff difference between the two is very large.

Then say that we are suspected of evading tariffs! "

"But these old machines are indeed going to be scrapped and sold for scrap iron in Xidu!"

"I said this, but the customs officers didn't believe it at all. They said that I have a brain problem. How could such a good machine be scrapped!"

"What now?"

"Pay customs duties and fines!"

"This is impossible!"

"Why? There aren't many of them!"

"You don't understand! If we do, things will go wrong.

We will be charged with evading tariffs, and your trading company's reputation will be damaged, or your company will be banned! "

"What should I do?"

"That's right! Who told you to pay additional duties and fines!"

"A minor leader of the customs staff."

"What else did he say?"

"He handed me a note asking me to meet him at this place during my lunch break and he said he could help us.

Then shall we go to him later? "

"Show me the note!"

"Huh! There is only one address." Sanzang immediately tore it up after reading it, and threw it into the trash can.

"You are this?"

"Can't go to him!"
