Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 95 Money is good for business (three shifts)

  Under all eyes, Li Weidong walked into the Mintai Foreign Trade Company and immediately attracted all the attention.

   Li Weidong sighed helplessly when he felt all the envy, jealousy and hatred around him.

   "I really don't want to pretend that, because you forced me! I wanted to keep a low profile. If you just blocked the door and didn't let me in, I wouldn't have to wait until now!" Li Weidong muttered in his heart.

Li Weidong walked into the Mintai foreign trade company. The receptionist was in charge of receiving a young girl. The girl was looking down in the mirror. Li Weidong walked in and saw through the reflection in the mirror that the girl’s skin was not very good. It's all pimples.

  "Hello, Comrade, I am here..."

  "We don't accept RMB and foreign exchange coupons! Also, we don't accept rubles." The young girl interrupted Li Weidong directly without raising her head.

  The girl’s tone was very stiff, and Li Weidong could feel that the girl’s attitude was not very good, and it was not at all like a receptionist should behave.

  Li Weidong didn’t care how bad the other party’s attitude was. In the 1980s, the waiters at state-owned hotels were cold-hearted, like "good units" such as foreign trade companies, not to mention the smiling service of the staff.

  Li Weidong took out an envelope with a cashier's check of 10 million yen in it, and then Li Weidong opened his mouth and said, "I have foreign exchange, which is Japanese yen."

   "Yen will do, but you have to cash in!" The girl was still looking in the mirror.

  "It is a cash transfer, a cashier's check, and cash can be withdrawn at any time." Li Weidong replied.

  The girl finally raised her head, she really had pimples, her mouth was big, her eyes were small, her face was sallow, she even wore a pink lipstick, like a monkey, she looked really ugly!

   "This front desk, I am afraid that the boss's wife personally recruited!" Li Weidong said in his heart.

   "Bring the cashier's check, let me see." The girl said.

  Li Weidong took out the bank's cashier's check and handed it over to the girl. The girl looked at the string of "0" numbers on it, and then returned the bank's cashier's check to Li Weidong.

   "Turn left, the first door, look for Manager Chen." After the girl said, she lowered her head and continued to look in the mirror.

  Li Weidong was too lazy to care about with a receptionist, and directly followed the direction the girl pointed, knocked on the door and walked in, and saw the manager Chen.

"Comrade, please sit down." Manager Chen pointed to the chair in front of him, and then said, "This is the first time that comrade has come to pick up the goods here, right? Show me your slip first, and I will check which unit approved the slip. ."

  Manager Chen regards Li Weidong as an "official downfall," and he has to read the note when he speaks.

  Li Weidong said: "Manager Chen, I am not here to pick up the goods. I want to purchase a batch of imported equipment through your son."

  "Purchase equipment!" Manager Chen was taken aback. Since he became the manager of this foreign trade company, he has been doing all the work of looking at the delivery of goods. For the first time, he encountered someone coming to ask for purchase of products.

  Under normal circumstances, if a company wants to purchase imported equipment, it will go through the foreign trade department, write an application and report it layer by layer, and then approve it layer by layer, and finally the foreign trade department will complete the purchase.

  Imported equipment by trading companies can save this intermediate link and save time and process, but foreign exchange is really too difficult to obtain. Even if a company wants to find a foreign trade company, it cannot use foreign exchange to purchase it from a trading company.

  Manager Chen encountered a new business and was inevitably a little excited. He asked, "What equipment are you planning to buy?"

  "Knitting machine." Li Weidong replied.

  "What is it for?" Manager Chen obviously didn't understand machinery.

  "It is mainly used in the textile industry. Our factory intends to use a braiding machine to make a core-filled braid for subsequent product processing." Li Weidong replied.

   "It turned out to be a textile factory!" Manager Chen nodded suddenly. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still pretended to understand.

  I saw Manager Chen then ask: "What kind of braiding machine does your factory plan to purchase?"

   "We have done the inspection, and it is best to use the XD90-8-4S type braiding machine produced by Japan's Otsuka Precision Machinery Co., or the XD90-8-6 type braiding machine." Li Weidong replied.

  "Otsuka Precision Machinery Company?" Manager Chen looked confused.

  "This company is located in Osaka. It is a precision machinery manufacturer that has mastered the technology of the core parts of high-speed knitting machines." Li Weidong replied.

   "Oh! It sounds pretty amazing." Manager Chen nodded, and then asked: "Comrade, which unit do you belong to? It must be a major manufacturer in the textile industry if you want to buy imported knitting machines!"

  "Our factory is a garment factory of Qinghe District Transportation Company." Li Weidong answered honestly.

   "Qinghe? Where is it? A transportation company? Is it a transportation company? A garment factory? How come it has something to do with the transportation company? Where is this all?"

  Manager Chen looked confused, and then he asked: "This comrade, what level of enterprise is your garment factory? National level? Provincial level? Isn't it prefecture level?"

  Li Weidong had no choice but to open his mouth and replied: "Qinghe Transportation Company is a prefecture-level enterprise, and our garment factory is the third industry of the transportation company."

  "The tertiary industry of a prefecture-level enterprise came to me to talk about purchasing imported equipment! What kind of place is here, is it a vegetable market? When I want to buy vegetables, I just walked over here!" Manager Chen secretly said in his heart.

  At this moment, Manager Chen wanted to shout: Get out of me!

  MinTai foreign trade here is really nothing to do with each other, but if you can enter this door, there are no ordinary enterprises! It can be said that there are too many high-ranking government enterprises, as well as state-level enterprises. Occasionally, there are one or two prefecture-level enterprises, and the notes they take are all with strength and background.

  To put it another way, ordinary enterprises can’t get approval slips to dump imported goods.

  Nowadays, a Qinghe transportation company that has never heard of it, or its tertiary industry, came to talk about the purchase of imported equipment, and it instantly made Manager Chen a feeling of being looked down upon.

   "What did Xiao Liu at the front desk do? How can I put all kinds of cats and dogs in it, and the tertiary industry of a prefecture-level enterprise can be mixed in!" Manager Chen's face was green, and he planned to see off the guests directly.

  Li Weidong seemed to have expected Manager Chen's reaction a long time ago, so he instantly took out the bank note, pushed it to Manager Chen, and said, "Manager Chen, I came with money."

"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, ten million yen!" Manager Chen glanced at the bank's promissory note and counted the "0" on it. , Disappeared instantly.

  This is also a person who sees money openly.

"This is Fuji Bank's promissory note? Ten million yen, according to the exchange rate, it is probably more than 60,000 US dollars." After all, Manager Chen is a foreign trader and has dealt with Fuji Bank. The sign of Fuji Bank on the ticket.

  After the "Plaza Accord", the yen continued to appreciate. Although it was not as crazy as the 20% surge in the first three months, the overall trend is still rising. By the time of 1987, the U.S. dollar was fluctuating around 1:160 against the yen, and 10 million yen could be exchanged for more than 60,000 U.S. dollars.

In 1987, an ordinary bad man could get five thousand dollars even if he was strong, and his ability to be "official bad" was greater, but signing a note would cost ten to twenty thousand dollars. If it was more, the goal would be too big. It is easy to be noticed by relevant departments.

  So the purchase business of more than 60,000 U.S. dollars is also a big deal for Mintai Foreign Trade Company.

   "This comrade, what is your last name?" Manager Chen finally remembered asking Li Weidong's identity.

   "My last name is Li, and my name is Li Weidong. I am the director of the Qinghe Transportation Company's garment factory." Li Weidong replied.

   "It turned out to be Director Li!" Manager Chen nodded, and then said: "Director Li is here for a while, I have to report to our general manager."

  ……

  About ten minutes later, Li Weidong met the general manager of Mintai Foreign Trade.

The general manager of Mintai Foreign Trade is named Xiao Yuanzheng. He looks in his thirties. He wears a suit and tie and speaks a pure Beijing accent. The temperament of the whole person is like an unsheathed sword, restrained but restrained. Without losing the edge.

  At the moment when he saw Xiao Yuanzheng, Li Weidong felt that Xiao Yuanzheng was definitely a high-ranking cadre's child.

   "Director Li, please sit down." Xiao Yuanzheng pointed to the chair in front of the desk.

  Li Weidong sat down and glanced at the furnishings in front of Xiao Yuanzheng, and found that there were several Japanese advertisements right beside Xiao Yuanzheng. Upon closer inspection, they were all real estate advertisements.

"Many of these high-ranking cadres have eyes above the top, they look gentle on the surface, but in fact they look down on ordinary people in their hearts. When dealing with such people, you have to be the first to win!" Li Weidong thought of this, he said Asked: "Mr. Xiao is interested in Japanese real estate?"

   "Director Li still understands Japanese?" Xiao Yuanzheng asked.

   "Understand some." Li Weidong continued: "To be honest, the yen in my hand is earned by dealing with Tianfeng Motors."

   "Tianfeng Motor, that is a world-class enterprise." Xiao Yuanzheng said casually.

  Li Weidong then continued: "I also understand the situation in Japan. If Mr. Xiao wants to invest in Japanese real estate, now is not a good time."

   "What do you say?" Xiao Yuanzheng asked.

  "Japanese real estate has already produced a bubble. This bubble will become bigger and bigger, just like drumming to spread flowers. When the bubble explodes, whoever passes the flowers will lose everything." Li Weidong said.

Xiao Xiao Yuanzheng's eyes revealed a tinge of playfulness. He obviously felt that Li Weidong was sensationalizing. He joked and said, "Director Li, your opinion is completely opposite to those of the economists in Beijing! There are many economics in Beijing. Everyone feels that Japan’s economy is very good, the stock market is rising, and real estate is also gaining value. Both official and private assets are increasing substantially. At this rate of development, Japan is likely to surpass the United States within ten years. Become the largest economy in the world."

"Japanese real estate is gaining value, and stocks are indeed soaring. Some economists have calculated that by selling all real estate in Tokyo, the money in exchange can buy the entire United States!" Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued; "Mr. Xiao I think, is one Tokyo worth the entire United States? This is what I call a bubble, that is, the inflation of asset prices."

   "But now Japan's economy is indeed thriving." Xiao Yuanzheng said.

"The last craziness before the collapse." Li Weidong continued: "This year, the world economy has seen rapid growth, and there will be a round of inflation. Western countries raise interest rates and attract funds back to the European and American markets. Inevitable.

  But the U.S. may not allow the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates, because once the Bank of Japan raises interest rates, the funds will not return to the European and American markets. Japan will also worry that more international capital will flow into Japan and promote the appreciation of the yen..."

  Li Weidong began to talk endlessly about Japan’s economic bubble.

  Japan’s economic bubble in the 1980s is no stranger to economists in the market outlook. The causes and consequences of the economic bubble, as well as the wrong decisions made by the Japanese government in handling the economic bubble, have long reached a consensus.

However, at the beginning of 1987, most economists did not realize the seriousness of the economic bubble in Japan. Even if a few economists saw the hidden worries of the economic bubble, they would never think that bursting the economic bubble would directly lead to it. Japan has experienced two decades of economic recession.

At that time, there were not many people studying economics in China. Even the so-called economists were far behind the world in their research. When economists all over the world were advocating the rise of the Japanese economy, the domestic economy The scientist can only follow along to make a fuss.

  What’s more, in the mid-1980s, the domestic economic pressure was much more severe than that of Japan. My country’s **** hadn’t been cleaned yet, so how can I study foreign countries?

  Li Weidong, in his previous life, once enrolled in an MBA course at a business school, and met several female stars and female models who wanted sugar daddy money.

  When he was taking the MBA course, the professor had talked about the economic bubble in Japan, so Li Weidong was not unfamiliar with the causes and consequences of the economic bubble in Japan and its impact.

  Now Li Weidong told Xiao Yuanzheng these contents, which instantly aroused Xiao Yuanzheng's interest.

  The children of high-ranking cadres in the capital of that era were not unfamiliar with national events and the international situation. After all, they grew up in that environment and were fascinated by them since they were young. Many high-ranking cadres' children at the age of fifteen and sixty talked about major issues in the country very well, and their knowledge and vision were obviously many times higher than that of ordinary people.

  Older senior cadres' children, if there are elders in the family, they can also get access to some internal reference materials, such as some local surveys, some expert analysis, etc., senior cadres' children can also see.

  Xiao Yuanzheng is such a high-ranking cadre's son. He has seen some economics professors in Beijing and analyzed the Japanese economy. However, the analysis of those professors is completely contrary to what Li Weidong said.

  Of course, Xiao Yuanzheng believed in the professor, so he dismissed Li Weidong. However, as Li Weidong slowly explained it, Xiao Yuanzheng became more and more convinced that what Li Weidong said seemed to be more convincing!

  The judgments of those economists in Beijing, and the various analyses on the internal reference, in Li Weidong’s mouth, instantly became wrong conclusions.

  Xiao Yuanzheng wanted to find some loopholes in Li Weidong’s words to overturn Li Weidong’s conclusions. However, when Xiao Yuanzheng carefully analyzed Li Weidong’s inferences, he found that Li Weidong’s inferences were reasonable, tightly connected, and without any flaws!

   "What is the background of this young man? Did he come back from studying abroad?" Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't help but start to look squarely at Li Weidong.
