Chapter 327 Foreign Workers
Emerging Group and Sinopec are both large state-owned enterprises, and their achievements have always been more important than profits.
Zhang Chao proposed to pay the completion award in RMB. Of course, the two companies disagree, but the completion award is an additional bonus paid by Dahua, not the labor remuneration stipulated in the contract. Naturally, Dahua can decide whatever it wants. They can only choose to participate or not.
Speaking of which, Xinxing Group chose to reduce the amount, using a ratio of 1 to 10 to exchange US dollar income, which is equivalent to doubling at the current foreign exchange price. It makes Zhang Chao helpless and funny.
said to Su Cheng, but he didn't feel new at all. The desire of state-owned enterprises for foreign exchange has long been abnormal. The reason why PetroChina was rich in the 1980s is that after the country implemented the big package system, they could exchange extra oil for foreign exchange and then control it by themselves. As soon as this system came out, the entire oil system became a meritorious service based on oil.
After 10 years of reform and opening up, although the country has got rid of the dilemma of foreign exchange shortage, it has just reached the food and clothing of foreign exchange, so that it will not be unable to make ends meet. National leaders are like farmers who have just escaped from famine. How dare they say that "if there is enough food, there will be more in the future"? No one knows when the difficult time will come. The Soviets cannot be relied on, American imperialism is even more ambitious, and the loyal Japanese are not international philanthropists.
The state still does its best to collect foreign exchange to ensure smooth international payments and maintain the domestic economic order.
If there is something good in the top, there must be something in the bottom. It was not until 2000 that the country's foreign exchange control was relaxed, allowing ordinary people and companies to exchange a large amount of foreign exchange. Although China has enough dollars to lend to the United States at this time.
In 1991, the US dollar could still buy more things and services than the RMB, which was also the goal of both state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. In this year, if any private enterprise boss has the ability to get a batch of foreign exchange from a bank or a department, he will almost definitely make a lot of money. This is the evil part of the primitive accumulation of capital, but from another perspective, it is not the backwardness of the lagging system. State-owned enterprises can report and apply for foreign exchange, so as to make money. Private enterprises can't report, so they find someone who can replace the report...
The ratio of1 to 10 is slightly higher than the black market price for emerging groups. But this money is in vain. From the official point of view of state-owned enterprises, there are a lot of 300,000 US dollars and 3 million yuan. Although 3 million yuan has an official price of 600,000 US dollars, when written into the report, 3 million yuan is a compliment, and 300,000 US dollars is a whole system of appreciation.
Although Zhang Jianjun is a transferred cadre from the army, he is not obsessed with cleanliness on the road of pursuing progress. It is quite difficult for domestic construction companies to earn dollars. At this time, there are a few people who go abroad to do projects, and they mostly work in Eastern European countries. The foreign exchange they earn cannot be compared with hard currency.
Zhang Chao spent a few days to re-sign agreements with various companies, and everyone was happy. Then, the labor enthusiasm of companies has also been greatly improved, that is, those small contractors are comfortable enough to hold a full amount of RMB. The construction site, which was already working in shifts, is simply open all day.
In addition, they are constantly sending people to urge BASF. After all, they are all auxiliary companies. Only when BASF installs the equipment can the first phase of the project be completed.
The comments made by Haicang Petrochemical Base are in full swing, and the comments outside also change three times a day.
Needless to say, the newspapers and periodicals in the Fu*jian area are full of good words. If any media publishes content that is not in line with the overall situation, there is no need for Dahua to sue. It has its own propaganda department to make trouble for them.
But other provinces, cities and the central media are not so polite.
The bonus of 1 million US dollars, whether it should or not, has almost caused a nationwide discussion.
If it is 20 years later, such a discussion is simply boring. People can spend their money as much as they want. Do they need media endorsement?
But the situation was different in 1991. On the one hand, the media reporter is known as the uncrowned king. He has a strong idea of making news in the form of the Plint Prize, sting current affairs, and making suggestions. On the other hand, while learning the unscrupulous media style of the West, the Chinese media is not in control. Especially in the face of unofficial problems, the Propaganda Department is too lazy to manage the Ministry of Culture, and the supervision between the media is nothing.
Not to mention discussing how other people's money is spent, there are media reporters trying to regulate Chinese behavior all over the street.
It's just a discussion about whether it should be or not. It's already the result of Li Lin's hard work.
Su Cheng had to feel at ease, and expected that the comments would soon disappear.
Things such as Gezhouba are a national sensation, and there is always something that can make the media vent excess energy.
November is coming soon.
The news of the Gezhouba project is indeed overwhelming. However, in the corner of the news, there will inevitably be articles discussing rewards and bonuses. From time to time, reporters will also contact the stock market of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to judge the current amount of funds in Sucheng.
The stock of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange has risen to about 18 yuan, approaching an all-time high. The 300 million yuan shares purchased by Suchong are equivalent to an increase of 150 million yuan out of thin air. This part of the funds should be made public, which also makes people who have just come into contact with the capital market stunned.
Coupled with the relationship between Haicang Base and Formosa Plastics, Dahua's hot spots lasted for more than half a month, and Su Cheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
During the meeting, Li Lin was also helpless and said, "Now people are too ** for money. I heard that the completion award is 1 million US dollars a day, and my eyes are red. Some familiar editors told me that the number of their contributions has doubled recently. The increase is all about Dahua's reward system. If one article is not published, it doesn't make sense, so occasionally I have to publish an article..."
"This one will post an article, and that one will post an article, and the number will be more." Yang Ming went on to say that he is responsible for sorting out media materials every day, and now he is also in great pain.
"Media comments are media comments, and now I'm afraid of official intervention. We have signed contracts with several companies. Not to mention the emerging group, BASF is not easy to serve. If we are asked to modify the completion award, BASF will be the first to be reluctant. Zhong Zhigen added.
"If it really doesn't work, just talk to BASF and change the name. Don't call it the completion award, but save in advance and pay as a percentage." Someone made a suggestion.
Zhong Zhigen immediately shook his head and said, "That won't work. They will definitely open their mouths. Paying as a percentage is the most likely to cause accidents..."
As we were discussing, the clerk in the chairman's office knocked on the door to get the documents and said, "Comrade of the Planning Commission, let's meet Chairman Su at 10 a.m. on Monday."
At this time, the interview system of ministries has not yet been established, but meetings such as tea have often appeared.
When Zhang Chao heard the name of the Planning Commission, his face changed greatly.
Li Lin also said uneasily, "It's because I didn't do my job well. I'll go back and make arrangements now."
"It's okay. It's just a conversation. There's no deterrent."
"If they don't pinch us, they won't talk." Zhang Chao is full of danger signals.
The interview of ministries and commissions seems to be very nervous for enterprises. Indeed, they should also be nervous. But it is also very tense for the ministries themselves.
China's ministries and commissions themselves do not have executive power. It can formulate policies, coordinate departments, and urge localities, but in the final analysis, its own law enforcement power is very limited.
Therefore, if there is no real goods on hand, it is often difficult for ministries to meet and talk, so as not to be destroyed by majesty.
In fact, since the problems in China's real estate market, the reputation of ministries and commissions' interviews has been widely known.
At this time, the ministries will certainly not let their reputation be damaged, especially the powerful planning committee.
Su Cheng worked hard in his mind and began to think about coping strategies.
Cancel the completion award? Naturally, this doesn't work.
The completion award determines the construction progress of Haicang Petrochemical Base, and the construction accuracy determines the number of factories in Taiwan, and then determines the value of Haicang Base...
In such a cycle, if it hadn't been for the last resort, Su Cheng would never have retreated.
"Prepare the documents, don't make big changes for the time being, and we'll talk about it later." Sucheng is no longer afraid of state ministries and commissions. For China now, a foreign oil field may just sound good, but a petrochemical base is very important. When state-owned enterprises are rampant, it is not because of their level, but because of their importance.
Nevertheless, after Su Cheng left the conference hall, he called the executive deputy governor in charge of industry to inform him of the matter.
Chang Guoli, a 50-year-old deputy governor, is stepping on the most important node in his life. Of course, he does not allow the most important projects in his province to be affected. In the phone, he said angrily, "Su Dong, don't worry, the general direction will never change. Regardless of the east, west, north and south winds, we insist that the development will not relax. Our province absolutely supports you to build the factory as fast as you can. Regarding the completion award, I will accompany you.
This is more comfortable than Sucheng expected.
Accompanied by the executive vice governor, there are much fewer worries in Dahua Group. Senior officials have always been politically sensitive, and Chang Guoli is willing to accompany them, which shows that the problem will not be serious.
When he arrived at the place, the person in charge of the interview was a director.
He didn't talk about the completion reward, but said, "I heard that Dahua employs foreign workers?" Do you pay in RMB or in foreign currency?
"Of course it's foreign currency."
"Have you applied to the relevant departments?"
"Dahua is qualified to keep foreign currency..."
"This is a problem of employees, not foreign exchange." The director of the Planning Commission raised his head and said, "Our country has not hired a large number of workers for a long time, especially private to private. Dahua is not the first case, but the scale and impact are the largest. We came to you to talk about this issue.
Su Cheng realized that the current Chinese enterprises have not yet reached the level of hiring foreign workers. Domestic labor is as cheap as possible, and high-tech talents are also introduced from public to public, mostly foreign visiting scholars.
It is estimated that few people are willing to let poor Chinese research institutes pay the salaries of foreigners.
Sucheng has just poached a group of foreign workers. BASF, which is used to the movement of people, has not had much reaction, and it can't be controlled in China at first.
