Beijing. Ministry of Commerce!
When Yan Gengdong's telegram was sent, Lu Zhengjun happened to be in front of the telegraph machine, and he was about to contact Yan Gengdong.
It's almost the end of the year, and the big guys above are paying close attention to the situation of Yuanwei Company and are waiting for news from there.
Of course, the big guys above are not just waiting for reports, but more for money.
That's right, the leaders above are eager to wait for money.
The domestic economic situation is indeed very bad. There is a shortage of money everywhere, especially a lack of foreign exchange.
The main reason is that this time of year is the time when budgets for the year are allocated to various units. Every day, large sums of money are transferred to local governments and various units.
Of course, these actually have no impact on the Sickle Plan. After all, I still have money to run my family, so I will borrow money to survive.
Isn't this how it has been all these years? Even if the fiscal deficit is higher, it doesn't matter.
However, the external economic operation is not good. The lack of money will not only affect the economic plan formulated by the country, but may even affect the country's reputation.
Since the "82 Plan" was proposed last year, the country's already tight foreign exchange has flowed out in large quantities. Now the accounts of the foreign exchange bureaus are almost empty and they are in urgent need of a large amount of foreign exchange.
Then this matter has something to do with Yuanwei Company, because what they earn here is Hong Kong dollars and US dollars, which is foreign exchange.
Moreover, in September last year, Yan Gengdong reported to the country that Yuanwei Company's profits had exceeded US$200 million.
According to the agreement, US$100 million will be turned over to the state treasury as profits and taxes.
In addition, several months have passed since September last year. It is estimated that their profits will be higher, and the foreign exchange paid to the national treasury may be more than 100 million US dollars.
So, the big guys above are all looking at this money eagerly.
However, for some unknown reason, there has been no news from Yuanwei Company on Hong Kong Island.
This made the leaders above couldn't help but get a little anxious and angry, so they could only ask Lu Zhengjun to contact Yan Gengdong and inquire about the situation.
Unexpectedly, before Lu Zhengjun could take action, he received a report from Yan Gengdong.
This report is not very long and only contains the core data of Yuanwei Company's financial statistics.
As for other data, Yan Gengdong did not report it to the country. The main reason is that their financial statistics are very detailed and complicated. It is too troublesome to send them and they are meaningless!
But even so, when Lu Zhengjun translated all the messages, they still filled a large page.
After reading this belated report, Lu Zhengjun was stunned.
A net profit of 360 million was completely beyond his expectations.
At the moment, Lu Zhengjun did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the relevant situation to his superiors.
Like Yan Gengdong, the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Commerce were also confused after reading this report.
Although they also know that the company Yan Gengdong is in charge of is developing very well and should be able to turn over a lot of profits to the country by the end of the year.
But no matter what, I never expected that the company's profit would be as high as 360 million...US dollars.
Shocked, the ministry immediately continued to report the situation.
Soon, this report appeared on the desks of more senior bosses.
After reading this report, almost everyone's first reaction was shock...extreme shock.
No one thought that such a small company selling medicine could have such strong profitability.
This is 360 million U.S. dollars, which translates into about 650 million domestic dollars!
You know, in the past year, the country's annual gross national product was only 325 billion, which is equivalent to 174.9 billion in U.S. dollars.
In other words, Yuanwei Company's net profit actually reached one six percent of the gross national product.
To put it more bluntly, the annual fiscal revenue of ordinary counties in China is only three to four million yuan. If calculated in this way, the annual revenue of Yuanwei Company is equivalent to the total fiscal revenue of more than a hundred counties. income.
This can no longer be described as an exaggeration. It is completely a myth.
But after being happy, the big guys above found a problem, that is, Yuanwei Company's foreign investment was too much.
According to this report, in the past year, they invested more than 80 million US dollars in the Middle East without asking for permission.
Including other investments, more than $100 million was spent.
This is a full 100 million U.S. dollars. If the country wants to earn this 100 million in foreign exchange, how many agricultural products will it have to export?
Although Yuanwei Company also has sufficient reasons, such as expanding the market, building sales channels, broadening the scope of business, etc.
But this still cannot convince these big guys. Such crazy investment by Yuanwei Company directly makes these big guys above feel like they are out of control.
This is very scary!
A company that can hand over 180 million US dollars to the state treasury a year is definitely a cash cow, and there can be no problems.
Therefore, these big guys unanimously believe that the management and control of Yuanwei Company should be strengthened.
But how to control this kind of "semi-wild" company that is far away from overseas and is not supported by the state is indeed a difficult problem.
Although as early as October last year, the superiors had proposed to dispatch a team to Yuanwei Company.
On the one hand, he assisted Yan Gengdong, and on the other hand, he strengthened his control over Yuanwei Company.
But after Zhou Yang raised a series of questions, it also attracted the attention of the leaders above. They also realized that if there were problems with the people sent there, the consequences would be catastrophic.
So over the past few months, they've been selecting the right people and training them without actually sending people over.
But now that Yuanwei Company's situation report has been sent back to China, the bosses above are a little unable to sit still and think that some substantive action must be taken.
After all, this year they dare to invest 100 million US dollars in the Middle East without permission, and next year they dare to invest 200 million US dollars, or even more.
All in all, the bosses feel that Yan Gengdong's power is a bit too great and needs to be restrained.
As a result, the top management immediately summoned the Ministry of Commerce, the military, and relevant units of the Scythe Project to hold an emergency meeting.
The purpose of this meeting is only one, how to improve the sickle plan and how to strengthen the control of Yuanwei Company.
But for this kind of thing, neither the big guys above nor the people below have experience, and they didn't come up with a result for a while.
Later, at the suggestion of a certain big boss, it was finally decided to summon Zhou Yang to Beijing!
The main reason why Zhou Yang was allowed to come to Beijing was because he had proposed the sickle plan from the beginning. Now, if there are any situations or questions, it is natural to ask him.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Yuanwei Company suddenly made a large-scale investment in the Middle East without asking for instructions, and Zhou Yang's shadow is included in it.
Therefore, the leaders above have reason to believe that Zhou Yang is playing a big game, so they also need to understand his true thoughts.
Soon, an emergency order was issued to Babaoliang Village...
As for Zhou Yang, when he received the order from his superiors, he was preparing for Chen Beixuan's wedding.
Chen Beixuan was his bodyguard and a witness, and Tan Shiqing and Li Youwei got along like sisters. Her father was a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country. This wedding could not be too shabby.
So after returning to the village from Qingcheng, Zhou Yang and Chen Beixuan were busy, cleaning up the wedding room and preparing the banquet. They were very busy!
But just when Zhou Yang was about to help Chen Beixuan take his wife to the door, the order from the capital suddenly arrived, asking him to leave for the capital immediately.
At this time, it was already the afternoon of the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the wedding of Chen Beixuan and Tan Shiqing was tomorrow.
Although it was a bit regretful, Zhou Yang did not dare to neglect the military orders.
At that moment, after explaining things to his wife and children, Chen Beixuan, Tan Shiqing and others, he rushed to the capital with Liu Yunlong, Gao Tingye, Xu Linfang and others!
PS: Chapter 2 is delivered!
I read the comments yesterday and saw that many book friends felt that selling ice cream in the winter was unreasonable and difficult to sell. Lao Cang would like to give a brief explanation here.
Most of the people who say this should be friends from the south. In fact, eating ice cream in winter is very common in the north, especially in Inner Mongolia.
Not to mention central heating and so on, the main reason is that ice cream cannot be sold in summer because conditions do not allow it.
It's different in winter. There are large freezers outside, and there is no need for equipment such as refrigerators and freezers, especially in towns and rural areas.
I remember when I was a child, the uncle in the village would go to the city to buy a batch of ice cream before winter came back. We took the money and went to his house to buy it, and the price was only 2 cents each.
Lao Cang wrote it based on the actual situation in his hometown. If it is different from what everyone remembers, please forgive me!
