In the office, the conversation continues.
Faced with Minister Xu's question, Zhou Yang just smiled softly, and then said: "It just depends on whether it is worth it. If Yuanwei Company only earns tens of thousands of yuan a year, there is no need at all!"
“But if this company can generate tens of billions of foreign exchange income for the country every year, would you still think it’s excessive?”
"Dozens...tens of billions?"
Director Xu was confused, Representative Li was also confused, and even Lu Zhengjun next to Zhou Yang was confused.
This amount really shocked them, especially Director Xu!
As the head of the Ministry of Commerce, he is very aware of the development of the domestic economy in recent years. Under Western containment and sanctions, the scale of our foreign trade is very small, and the total foreign exchange income for the whole year is only two to three billion. .
And in most cases, we import more from others and export very few commodities, and they are mainly primary products, such as crude oil, minerals, agricultural products, etc.
Because of this, the leaders above would eagerly look at the money in the hands of Yuanwei Company, really waiting for rice to be put into the pot.
Zhou Yang looked at the shocked expressions of several people, then struck while the iron was hot, and said again: "I proposed the sickle plan. I know the prospects of this plan best. I can guarantee that in less than three years, this plan will be The revenue will exceed US$1 billion!”
"Moreover, by then we certainly can't just count on Comrade Yan Gengdong to support it alone. We will definitely send more personnel there. Do we need to develop a complete system to manage these personnel and assets?"
His words really had an effect. Minister Xu and others were shocked when they heard that the prospect of the Scythe Project was so "terrible".
This is one billion U.S. dollars. Even if only half of it is turned over to the national treasury, it is equivalent to the country’s annual foreign exchange earnings.
All in all, Zhou Yang is really bragging!
"Comrade Zhou Yang, do you really think the revenue of that small company on Hong Kong Island can exceed US$1 billion within three years?" Minister Xu said seriously.
"Yes, but..."
"But what?"
Zhou Yang said immediately: "But the premise is that there will be no problems during the implementation of our plan, especially the situation where laymen will command experts and administration will command business."
Minister Xu and others understood this. After all, Zhou Yang still didn't want his superiors to get too involved in the Scythe plan!
"Comrade Zhou Yang, it is imperative to strengthen control, and there is nothing we can do!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Leader, you have misunderstood. It's not that I don't agree with strengthening control. I just don't want to give random orders, and I don't want Yuanwei Company or Sickle Project to become a gilding field for some officials' children, so there must be corresponding systems. Only then can we control this company in accordance with the law and regulations!”
Director Xu sighed and said: "Just formulating a system is not an easy task. I'm afraid..."
Before Director Xu could finish speaking, Zhou Yang said: "I already have preliminary ideas on leadership, management systems and measures to strengthen control. The question now is whether the big bosses at the decision-making level need us to do this!"
Regarding the matter of putting a halter on himself, Zhou Yang thought about it for most of the night last night. He thought about the later "Measures for the Supervision of Overseas Assets of Central Enterprises", the "Measures for the Management of Overseas Property Rights" and so on.
If necessary, he can imitate these management systems in line with the Scythe Plan at any time.
But as he said just now, this is just his wishful thinking, and it is not clear what it means.
If the big bosses don't think this is necessary, or they just want to simply send a few people with strong political literacy to keep an eye on Yan Gengdong, this is also possible.
Of course, if those big guys really did that, Zhou Yang would feel a little chilled.
Director Xu took a deep breath and then said: "Comrade Zhou Yang is right. Let's take a rest in the office for a while. I will go and report the situation to the leaders now!"
After saying that, Minister Xu picked up a briefcase and hurried downstairs.
After a while, the sound of a car engine starting was heard downstairs...
...........
After Minister Xu left, Representative Li from the military looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Comrade Zhou Yang, Mr. Jiang asked me to tell you something before I come!"
Zhou Yang said hurriedly: "What are you talking about?"
"Mr. Jiang asked you to go to the ministry after you finish your work here!"
"Yes, I will go over after I finish my work here!" Zhou Yang said.
"Um!"
Then Li Guangqi hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "Comrade Zhou Yang, are you serious about what you just said about breaking through one billion US dollars in three years?"
"Why do you ask that?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"If this is just your delaying measure, it is meaningless. If you fail to achieve it by then, it may make things worse!"
Zhou Yang heard a strong sense of goodwill in Representative Li's words. Obviously, this person was worried that he was bragging, and even more worried that the incident would affect Zhou Yang's future.
"Thank you for worrying, but breaking through one billion US dollars in three years shouldn't be a big problem!" Zhou Yang said.
"real?"
"Yes, our revenue last year reached 360 million, and this year we have a drug with even more amazing profits that will be launched soon, and the benefits should be higher than last year!" Zhou Yang said.
Although it may sound difficult to increase the company's profits to one billion US dollars within three years, for Zhou Yang, it is not difficult at all. After all, he is a cheater.
Apart from anything else, these three special medicines in the hands of Yuanwei Company alone can create a net profit of at least US$500 million for the company every year.
Furthermore, the Persian camels in the Middle East are about to engage in internal strife, and there will be chaos there for a period of time. As a result, international crude oil prices will soar, and an oil crisis will break out.
And they have been laying out the oil industry in the Middle East since last year. With US$80 million, they not only acquired many oil wells and oil companies, but also hoarded a large amount of crude oil.
As long as there is chaos there, international crude oil prices will skyrocket. By then, Yuanwei Company will definitely make a lot of money, and it should not be difficult to make one billion US dollars.
Although Li Guangqi didn't understand where Zhou Yang got his confidence, he didn't doubt that Li Yi was telling lies.
He knew that the young man in front of him had created many miracles, and many leaders in the ministry would often mention him.
"If we can really achieve the 1 billion U.S. dollars in revenue you mentioned, I think the leaders above will consider it carefully!" Li Guangqi said.
The country is currently short of foreign exchange, and Li Guangqi knows that.
Even for the sake of these foreign exchanges, the above will not affect the subsequent progress of the Sickle Project.
"I hope so!"
In fact, Zhou Yang had the same purpose in saying this. The above leaders said they were asking for his opinion, but in fact, Zhou Yang knew what they wanted to ask.
Since they want to hear it, Zhou Yang will satisfy them.
Presumably, after hearing about the prospects of Project Scythe, the leaders would be more cautious when making decisions to avoid irreversible consequences.
Of course, the leaders above are looking at the overall situation after all. Although the sickle plan has unlimited prospects, Zhou Yang is not very sure about formulating a separate system for this plan.
Now all he can do is do his best and obey fate!
If it doesn't work, then he can only think of other ways, such as the selected personnel, and Yan Gengdong's own situation...
All in all, Project Scythe cannot fail!

PS: Chapter 2 is delivered!
