After listening to Ma Mingze's explanation, Li Xiucheng also understood.
In fact, the difference is so big because the state is regulating the structure of export products.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the country's exports were mainly grain, agricultural and sideline products, and textile products, but the huge export volume earned very little foreign exchange.
Because these things are exported because of the low level of processing, if they cannot be sold at a high price, they are sold at a low price.
Even if some heavy industrial products are exported, they are mostly rough-processed minerals. This export structure is quite backward.
Then the country began to deliberately regulate. Now it no longer exports grain, and exports low-value agricultural and sideline products and textile products as little as possible.
However, the country is in urgent need of foreign exchange, so it encourages everyone to export machine-processed products to change this backward export structure.
Therefore, if high-tech electronic products such as pagers want to be exported to earn foreign exchange, the district is in favor!
But Li Xiucheng felt that it should be more than that, and it should also involve conflicts between domestic and foreign sales of products.
But these had nothing to do with him for the time being, so he didn't think too much about it. While eating the food, he said to Ma Mingze: "How is the business conditions at Ma Ge's company?"
"It's okay, but as before, most of the business still comes from the support of the two industries."
Having said this, Ma Mingze raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xiucheng, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, do you have any ideas?"
"Yes!" Li Xiucheng stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "The bigger the company develops, the greater the demand for insurance business. And I trust Ma Ge the most. Of course, I have to leave it to Ma Ge to rest assured. I will trouble Ma Ge in the future." .”
Ma Mingze smiled. Of course he knew that Li Xiucheng was reciprocating the favor and supporting his work in disguise. It's just that the words were beautifully said and made people feel comfortable.
He was not polite, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I promise to handle it properly for you. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
“Yes, cooperate more.
cheers! "
"cheers!"
Neither of them likes to persuade each other to drink, so they had a good conversation without drinking much wine.
The dinner ended at ten o'clock in the evening. Li Xiucheng returned to the hotel and lay on the bed and talked on the phone with Xiaomeng for a while. As soon as he hung up, the phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Li! Do you still remember me?"
The phone was connected, and a strange female voice came out.
Li Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, but fortunately his mind moved quickly enough and he said with some uncertainty: "Are you Roy?"
"Bingo, haha, I knew Mr. Li would never forget us!"
The female voice on the phone suddenly amplified countless times, making her ears hurt.
Li Xiucheng hurriedly moved the phone away. After a few seconds when no sound was heard, he said, "You guys? Are you with Miss Chen?"
"Well, hello, Mr. Li!"
This time the sound changed, becoming that familiar timbre that was pure, clear and comfortable to listen to.
Li Xiucheng turned sideways, changed into a comfortable position and said, "Hello, Miss Chen! Is there anything wrong with calling me so late?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, we are in the United States and it's still daytime here. I didn't pay attention for a while. I didn't disturb your rest, right?"
On the phone, Chen Huixian's tone was full of apology.
"It's okay, I haven't rested yet."
Li Xiucheng smiled slightly. Although Chen Huixian still went to the United States, because her songs were used in advertisements and background music, her popularity in China is no less than that of those film and television stars.
This advertising endorsement can be said to be quite cost-effective.
On the other side of the phone was an ordinary apartment outside Syracuse University in the United States.
Chen Huixian and Roy talked on the phone together. She didn't know that Li Xiucheng was measuring her value in a very philistine way!
Holding back her inner joy, she said, "That's right, Miss Jiang called me before and said that she was going to shoot a commercial for the new year, and she also wanted to shoot a commercial that suits the style of Xiangjiang.
Then Mr. Li, you are also going to Hong Kong. I would like to ask Mr. Li when you will arrive so that I can arrange time to fly back to Hong Kong. "
"I'll be there in three days at the latest!"
"Oh, then I will set off tomorrow. When I come here this time, I am considered a half-landowner, and I will definitely entertain Mr. Li well."
"Haha, that's good, I'm looking forward to it."
"Well, I won't disturb your rest. Bye!"
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Roy and said, "Okay, are you satisfied now?"
"What! Your expression makes it look like I want to seduce a handsome guy." Roy rolled his eyes dissatisfied: "I think you act like a nun all day long and only know how to study and travel. You don't care if you are old or young. I’m thinking about personal issues, so I’m in a hurry!”
"I'm sorry, you big-headed idiot, you're talking as if you're married! And didn't you shout that you have a boyfriend?
Where are people? Why don't you bring it over and show it to me. "
"I...I, he..." Roy felt guilty, rolled his eyes and said loudly: "He went on a business trip to the mainland and won't come back until next year. Besides, we are reunited as best friends, no matter what he does.
Let's go, let's go buy clothes, cosmetics and bags, dress you up beautifully and go back to meet handsome guy Li! "
Chen Huixian: "..."
It’s not a blind date, so what do you care about!
Really!
At noon the next day, Li Xiucheng came to the Shekou District Government as agreed. After meeting Ma Mingze, he entered after being notified and met Chief Engineer Yin.
Chief Engineer Yin had just had lunch and was walking around the office to eat.
When they saw the two of them appear at the door, they immediately waved with smiles on their faces.
"You two are here, come in and sit down."
When Ma Mingze brings someone to the door, he naturally has to tell him in advance. Otherwise, if General Engineer Yin doesn't want to see him, it will be a mistake!
The two of them came in and said hello. Li Xiucheng sat down, but Ma Mingze ran to pour water and then helped Mr. Yin sit back behind his desk.
Li Xiucheng looked at Chief Engineer Yin quietly. He was nearly seventy years old. Although his body was still strong, he still inevitably showed an old look.
Ordinarily, he should retire at this age, but Shekou still cannot do without him, so he has been working hard behind the scenes. Even after Li Xiucheng knew that he retired, he stayed in this open port he created until his death. On this land.
The spirit of selfless dedication of the older generation of revolutionaries is really shocking.
At this time, General Engineer Yin leaned on his chair and looked at Li Xiucheng, and said with a smile: "I have already heard Mingze tell me everything and explained it to me.
It is estimated that the management committee will send someone to the company to handle this matter in the next two days. "
Li Xiucheng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Yin."
"You're welcome. Actually, don't feel embarrassed about asking for help.
On the contrary, you should be proud. "
Looking at Li Xiucheng, General Engineer Yin's eyes were full of admiration: "You have achieved great results at home and earned foreign exchange abroad, all of which are contributing to the country!
You may not know that because of the hostility of the West, they do not recognize our country, New China, as a founding member of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
We have been applying to return to the GATT since 1986.
The country has been working hard for four to five years to restore the customs. "
