Chapter 202
Lin Zhenhua and his party still returned to China via Hong Kong.After returning to China, he first went to Beijing with Chang Qingbo and several other people from the Navy, and reported the results of the trip to Zhang Zhifang.

This trip, for the navy, can be said to be a rewarding experience.Thailand has ordered two frigates, and the final transaction price for a single ship is 5500 million US dollars, which has far exceeded Zhang Zhifang's original expectations.What's more, these two ships were built according to the economical and applicable standards defined by Lin Zhenhua. If they want to upgrade in the future, they will have to pay additional fees.

Of course, in the process of this transaction, a group of people, including Jirapong, had to pluck their feathers, and Lin Zhenhua was responsible for handling all these expenses.The details, except for Zhang Zhifang and some upper-level senior leaders, are kept secret from others.

In the end, Lin Zhenhua returned to Xunyang with only a certificate of meritorious service issued by the navy.In this transaction, Xinxin can get a profit of nearly 600 million US dollars in addition to various marketing expenses, but the money is not yet available.Personnel from the Thai military have to come to inspect the contract before finally signing the contract. After the contract is signed, only a part of the payment will be paid, and it will take two years to pay off the full payment.

"Young man, you did a good job." Before leaving Beijing, Zhang Zhifang patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder and praised him like this.

Lin Zhenhua said modestly: "Where is it, Minister Zhang, in fact, I just pulled the thread, and I basically didn't participate in the subsequent things. Speaking of it, I really don't have any credit for it."

Zhang Zhifang said: "You learned about the other party's reserve price this time, and this credit is not enough? The reserve price alone has earned us tens of millions more. Also, if you were not the matchmaker, this deal would not be worth it." I don't know how long it will be delayed, maybe it will be snatched by Yankees or Germans."

"That's true." Lin Zhenhua said with a chuckle, "By the way, Minister Zhang, I sold warships for the navy and earned some money for private individuals. Is this money considered legal income? In case the disciplinary department comes to investigate me, Minister Zhang You have to say something fair for me."

Zhang Zhifang said: "Anyone who dares to trouble you, let him come to me."

"Hehe, with your words, I feel at ease." Lin Zhenhua said happily.

Chang Qingbo left Beijing with Lin Zhenhua, but Lin Zhenhua returned to Xunyang, and Chang Qingbo returned to Shanghai.When the two went to the train station together, Chang Qingbo said embarrassingly to Lin Zhenhua secretly: "Xiao Lin, you gave me 1200 US dollars before and after this trip to Thailand, and I have already asked Minister Zhang for instructions. He said that it will be the equipment department. The bonus given to me is fine, but he also said that it will not be an example."

"Let's talk about it next time." Lin Zhenhua smiled, "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to buy an imported refrigerator? Why didn't you buy it?"

Chang Qingbo said: "I don't need to buy it abroad. There is a service center for people going abroad in Shanghai. I just need to take out the foreign quota and the remaining US dollars to buy there. One person can buy a large item and a small item. It’s all tax-free.”

Lin Zhenhua took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Chang Qingbo, and said, "I really remembered it when you said that. This is my target for going abroad, and I don't plan to buy any imported ones. Goods, just give it to you."

Chang Qingbo asked: "Xiao Lin, don't you need to buy big things at home?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "I'm alone now, what big things do I need to buy? Besides, in the next few years, I guess I will have to go abroad a few more times. There are plenty of opportunities for what I want to buy."

Chang Qingbo was overjoyed. He took the certificate that Lin Zhenhua handed him, picked it up carefully, and said, "Actually, Baoxing also gave me his index. He is a soldier, so he doesn't need it. I will buy it too." It’s not so big, I plan to share it with other colleagues.”

There is no direct train between Beijing and Xunyang, Lin Zhenhua can only go back to Nandu first, and then change trains from Nandu back to Xunyang.When he arrived in Nandu, Lin Zhenhua first went to the Light Chemical Department to meet Xie Chunyan. This time he signed an order for four sets of large chemical fertilizers. Lin Zhenhua had some ideas and needed to communicate with Xie Chunyan.

"Hey, our hero is back?" Xie Chunyan said when she saw Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua replied obediently: "This is mainly achieved under the wise guidance of Director Xie. The credit is due to the leader, and the mistakes are all made by us subordinates."

Xie Chunyan rolled his eyes at him, and said with a smile: "You little Lin, when will you get rid of this oily tone. You are also a celebrity now, and you can't speak like this without restraint."

Lin Zhenhua was surprised and said: "No way, Director Xie, I have only been out for a month, how did I become a celebrity?"

Xie Chunyan said: "You don't know. In the past few days, at least twenty or thirty people have come to me to ask you. Let me do the math for you. The Department of Light Industry of East Zhejiang Province, the Department of Chemical Industry of Anhui Province, Hubei Provincial Department of Machinery, Sichuan Provincial Department of Foreign Trade..."

"Wait, wait." Lin Zhenhua quickly interrupted Xie Chunyan, and asked, "Director Xie, what are these great gods looking for me for? I have already authorized the patents of the five-leaf fan and the waterfall washing machine to them in the province. , Could it be that they sent me money?"

"Giving money? Stealing money!" Xie Chunyan said angrily, "They didn't come to talk about your fan and washing machine. They took a fancy to the four sets of equipment you signed, and they wanted us to give them two sets do it."

"I'm dizzy." Lin Zhenhua said, "How did the news spread so fast?"

Xie Chunyan sighed: "I can't help it. I went with you this time. There are people from any department. Also, some comrades in our light chemical department also like to brag. I don't know who told this story."

Lin Zhenhua was depressed. This trip to Thailand, he brought a mixed delegation, including people from foreign trade offices, diplomats, translators, team doctors, etc., all kinds of things.He talked about the fertilizer equipment with Jirapong. Although he tried to keep a low profile, he still couldn't hide it from the people in the regiment.Also, when he asked China to pass information to Thailand, many people in the Qinghua Department heard about it.Among all these insiders, there are always some who are more open-mouthed, and the news spreads all over the sky after two or three passes.

This can be regarded as a remnant of the planned economy era. Everyone doesn't have much concept of commercial secrets.Fortunately, Lin Zhenhua kept an eye on the specific price, only told Xie Chunyan and Zhu Tiejun, and did not disclose it to more people.

"Even if they know, it has nothing to do with them, right?" Lin Zhenhua said, "I signed these four sets of equipment for the Hanhua factory, so what does it have to do with others?"

Xie Chunyan said: "The problem is that everyone knows that your Hanhua factory can't afford these four sets of equipment."

"This..." Lin Zhenhua was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't really thought about it.Guang was busy negotiating these days, and he didn't think much about production capacity.In his view, as long as there is a list, there is no need to worry about production.In China in the 21st century, there have always been orders for equipment, and I have never heard of orders for equipment.

Lin Zhenhua actually knew the production capacity of Hanhua Factory.Last time, it took more than half a year for the equipment of Guixi Chemical Fertilizer Factory, which is almost the limit of the whole plant's capacity. Calculated in this way, it is almost enough to win two sets a year, and it is impossible to produce four sets.As for Thailand, it is hoped that these four sets of equipment will be completed within one year, and the time requirement is relatively tight.

"Director Xie, what do you mean?" Lin Zhenhua asked back.He originally had an unclear idea, but now he feels that the opportunity has come.

Xie Chunyan said: "Old Zhu and I have discussed this matter several times. There are several plans at present, but none of them are ideal, so we still have to wait for you to come back to discuss."

Lin Zhenhua tentatively asked: "Director Xie, as the saying goes, fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields. If the Hanhua Factory can't take it, we certainly can't hand it over to other provinces, right? Has the department considered handing over the order to the petrochemical machine?" Do? Their production capacity is strong enough, and it should be very easy to take down two sets of equipment..."

Before Lin Zhenhua could finish speaking, Xie Chunyan interrupted him: "The petrochemical machine is no longer possible."

"Why, do they have other orders?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Chunyan said angrily: "Any other order, they changed the container workshop into a refrigerator assembly workshop, and even sold the plate rolling machine, so why are they still making pressure vessels?"

"No way?" Lin Zhenhua almost jumped up, "Who is so confused!"

Xie Chunyan said: "When they reported to the hall, the hall didn't agree with it. But they said that there are no orders for pressure vessels now, and they are going to give up the production of this area and go all out to switch to refrigerators. .Now it is advocated to expand the autonomy of enterprises, and the department is not very good at interfering with their production decisions. In this way, they changed the workshop."

"It's really short-sighted!" Lin Zhenhua said distressedly, "Director Xie, let me tell you, I was deeply touched when I went out this time. Our country is now engaged in industrial restructuring, and equipment orders in the domestic market have decreased, but foreign markets are very Big ones. Let’s talk about fertilizer equipment. Our domestic demand is small now, but those developing countries in Southeast Asia still need it. I plan to go to South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa in the next step. I estimate that I will get it back in a year. Ten sets of eight sets of large chemical fertilizer orders are no problem."

"What you said is true?" Xie Chunyan asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's absolutely true. I have become close friends with a director of the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand. He said that he also has some contacts with colleagues in other Southeast Asian countries. He promised to help me sell our fertilizer equipment. The next step , as well as oil refining equipment, pharmaceutical equipment, and low-pressure boilers, the market is huge."

"Hey, why didn't you think of this earlier?" Xie Chunyan complained, "If you had thought of this earlier, we would never let the petrochemical machine change production anyway. Now the backbone enterprises in our province in the field of pressure vessels, only The Hanhua factory is one, and the other machinery factories have no experience in pressure vessels."

Lin Zhenhua said: "In this case, then, Director Xie, I have an idea. Let the leader of the department think about it. What do you think?"

Xie Chunyan said impatiently: "If you have any ideas, just say it quickly, what's the point?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "I would like to ask the Department of Light and Chemical Industry to allow Xinxin Company to form a joint venture with Hanhua Machinery Factory to take orders for these four sets of equipment."
