After taking a sip of cherry juice, Ji Donglai couldn't stand it anymore. He had never felt so hot in so many years.
"No problem, it's fifty-five degrees today and I feel hot too!"
"What did you say? Oh my god, Maria..."
Hearing that it was fifty-five degrees, Ji Donglai felt that his blood was about to boil. Abbas suppressed a smile and took the money out. An hour later, the customs came and the goods from the glass wool factory began to clear customs. Whole rolls of aluminum foil, various equipment and materials appeared in the warehouse one after another.
The U.S. dollar opening is really the best procedure in the world. The air conditioner was installed overnight that night. The first one was in Ji Donglai's office, then in Sanfu's office, and then in the accountant's office.
What was left was the workers' dormitory. For the first time, Ji Donglai felt that he was so attached to the air conditioner.
At this time, Uzbekistan was almost the same as the land of China when reform and opening up began. The locals did not eat freshwater shrimp. Ji Donglai accidentally discovered people fishing for shrimps to feed livestock in front of Tashkent Lake, and immediately arranged for workers to come over to fish for shrimps.
Seventy kilograms of shrimp were brought back to the canteen that day. The hot freshwater shrimp was the most delicious dish in those days. People drank the food at night as if it was free.
Of course, the locals don't eat them. Especially when they see Chinese people eating these 'bugs', the locals look at Ji Donglai and the others with very strange eyes.
Beef and mutton are very cheap, and even cheaper than this is beef and sheep offal!
These things are fed directly to dogs by local people, including chicken feet, steamed chicken, chicken heads, and chicken necks.
Ji Donglai set up a separate food purchasing department, which was responsible for finding things that were expensive domestically on the market and purchasing them in bulk to satisfy the workers' hunger.
As a factory-managed company, buyers directly abandoned the market and found cattle and sheep slaughterhouses. From then on, animal offal manufacturing in Uzbek factories became free.
Beef and sheep tripe, hooves, heads, and intestines are all necessary meat in the factory.
Therefore, many workers who came to Uzbekistan not only did not adapt to the climate, but on the contrary, the girls who paid the most attention to maintaining their figure gained a lot of weight. Because the local fruits are so delicious, cherries, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapes, all kinds of fruits you can think of...it's really cheap.
Girls who are not greedy when it comes to meat and vegetables cannot resist the temptation of fruits and can eat them with ease.
Pot-baked buns, one-cent bags, everything makes these 'little rich' people from China have the urge to empty their wallets.
"Brother Donglai, the glass wool factory is finished. Do we have any other projects here?"
As the kiln began to be officially ignited and Sanfu began to downsize, people from China began to prepare to buy tickets to return home, and some young people began to look for Ji Donglai one after another.
These people are willing to work here with high wages and good treatment, even if it is a little hotter. After all, they have double the salary, good food, and can work with the boss.
"Want to work here?"
Looking at the faces in front of him who were no longer young, Ji Donglai's eyes were filled with smiles. He was almost twenty-eight in a flash, and he also brought several people here, and they were all about the same age.
"Well, after all, we can earn more than at home, and we also need money to go home and marry a wife. Besides, don't we want to develop more in the future..."
Facing Ji Donglai, several young people felt a little embarrassed. The freedom of beef and mutton and high wages had suppressed their longing for families living alone.
According to the company's plan, young people will start to rotate, and some domestic people need to come here to experience.
"Then continue here, and look for Li Xiaojuan later. You guys are angry. Our processing plant is also expanding production now. The project in Tashkent is about to be negotiated. Give you another year to complete the construction. Then go home and marry a wife, of course you can also marry a wife locally and take her back."
"Remember, don't give me any trouble. AIDS is very serious here. If you really get it, the money you earn won't be enough."
It is true that young people love money. Ji Donglai is most worried about these people playing around with men and women. The local area is the real intersection of east and west. Western diseases have arrived here a century earlier than China. Young people may win the bid if they are not careful. Yes, that is the greatest sadness.
A group of people happily went to find Li Xiaojuan, and Ji Donglai also started to contact Xin Li. The best thing is that the workers are enthusiastic.
Three days later, Xin Li led a Yiyuan Manufacturing delegation to formally enter Tashkent and negotiate with local management in accordance with the company's development plan.
"Mr. Mayor, according to our initial plan, a large-scale industrial park will be built here. The elevator division and mobile phone division manufactured by Yiyuan will be the first batch to be built, with a total investment of no less than 30 million US dollars; the second phase of the project will be completed one after another. Heavy Machinery Division, Yiyuan Medical..."
Xin Li still used PPT for the entire presentation this time, and even the projector was moved from China.
The huge screen displays the local investment and construction plan of Yiyuan Manufacturing produced by Xinli's team. The entire plan is perfect, especially the renderings, which the technology center spent more than a month carefully preparing.
The local management is also well-informed, but I was still shocked to see the beautiful animations and various plans produced by Xin Li.
Each display is followed by various data, precise time points, how much investment is needed for one-yuan manufacturing, and how many local loans need to be solved.
In addition, Xin Li explained everything in detail as to how the local management departments needed to cooperate, but did not explain it in a general way. The local leaders responsible for investment promotion, the leaders of the city, and the governor all nodded continuously.
The translations by Li Xiaojuan, Abbas, and relevant parties in the city were almost synchronized. If someone made a mistake in translation, everyone corrected each other.
The entire consultation meeting lasted seven days before the local management digested Xinli's entire plan.
It's just that the conditions given by the other party are very different from the expectations of Xinli's team. The land can be free, but loans cannot be given. This is a very important point, because there is no money locally.
As for the tax policy, the other party needs the project investment to account for more than 30%, that is, the investment required by the other party is 150 million US dollars before tax deductions can be made.
As for the five links and one link, the other party's construction schedule does not match Xinli's estimate, which means it cannot be achieved.
The local area is still built in the Soviet style. All high-voltage circuits were built during the Soviet period. The location of the Jidonglai Industrial Zone needs to be re-established. This is a large expense and involves many departments.
Excluding all these, the investment plan brought by Xin Li this time is only 30 million US dollars, not a cent more. The local officials are very dissatisfied.
