Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 579 Is this going to force me to hang myself?

Niu Xiaoqiang had recovered a little bit, and finally remembered to express his gratitude to Fan Demin for his help: "Uncle Fan, I am really sorry for your inconvenience. You have to follow me to get angry. On behalf of the hundreds of employees of the Asia Machinery Factory, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your help." grateful."

Fan Demin waved his hand: "This is my job, you don't have to be polite with me. What I am most worried about now is that the time delay is too long, which will delay your delivery. Xiaoqiang, uncle reminds you, you don't have to be crazy when the time comes." Re will do irrational things, once there is no room for change, everything will be over."

Fan Demin has seen the contract Niu Xiaoqiang signed with Smith. According to the contract, if the Asian Machinery Factory fails to deliver the goods on time, it needs to pay high compensation to Smith.

If the delay exceeds three months, the order will fall through, and Niu Xiaoqiang will eventually need to pay Smith a huge sum of US$210 million.In Fan Demin's opinion, it is impossible for Asia Machinery Factory to afford the compensation, and Niu Xiaoqiang himself thinks so.

According to the country's strict supervision on foreign exchange, even if Niu Xiaoqiang has enough RMB in his hand, it is impossible for him to exchange the foreign exchange remittance of 210 million US dollars.What's more, he didn't have so much money in his hand.

If this is the case, Niu Xiaoqiang, as the real boss of the Asia Machinery Factory, his best ending is to go bankrupt and try his best to make up for Smith's compensation.If Smith goes through the legal process and is seriously pursued by his superiors, then he will go to jail.

However, this possibility is not great.Niu Xiaoqiang, this is not a commercial fraud. He has completed the production according to the requirements of the contract, but he could not deliver the goods on time because the transportation was blocked. This has nothing to do with commercial fraud.

Smith is not the kind of ignorant person, Niu Xiaoqiang signed a repayment contract with him if it was impossible, and completed the repayment of compensation in batches.As long as enough benefits are given, Smith should not refuse.

Niu Xiaoqiang felt that he had to communicate with Smith in advance to see what the other party's attitude was.If the other party is more talkative, maybe they can change the delivery date of the goods, and then find a way to transport the goods to Africa, so that the compensation can be saved.

It's not that Niu Xiaoqiang didn't want to find other shipping companies to transport the goods, but there is no private shipping company in China at present, and the existing shipping companies are connected with each other. Since the shipping group doesn't cooperate, other shipping companies Businesses will certainly not cooperate.

The current sticking points are all concentrated on transportation. Niu Xiaoqiang thought of this and asked, "Uncle Fan, can we ask foreign companies to help us transport the goods?"

Fan Demin shook his head with a wry smile: "The country has not opened up the shipping business to foreign companies at present. This method will not work."

Niu Xiaoqiang said unhappily: "There are monopoly operations of state-owned enterprises everywhere. Under this business model that lacks competition and vitality, how can we do a good job in economic construction?!"

Fan Demin could only smile wryly at this, he knew the domestic situation better than Niu Xiaoqiang.Although he knew what was going on, he just couldn't shake those super state-owned enterprises.Not to mention him, even the leaders of the national ministries and commissions would not do it easily.No way, the levels involved are too complicated.

After complaining, Niu Xiaoqiang proposed another solution that was not a solution: "Uncle Fan, if I spend money to buy a boat, can you help me get a business license for shipping?"

Niu Xiaoqiang bought a boat during the Chinese New Year to solve the problem of poor road transportation.Now the sea transportation is not smooth, he can't help thinking of this, and wants to buy a ship to transport the goods to Africa.

Fan Demin shook his head: "It won't work at all. I don't know people in the coastal areas well. Even if I know people, who would dare to nod in response to the strong pressure from several state-owned enterprises?"

When Fan Demin said this, he changed the subject: "Furthermore, what you are going to transport this time is fifty heavy trucks, and at least two to three thousand tons of large ships can be loaded. Two or three million, can you take it out?"

Niu Xiaoqiang tugged at his hair a little irritably: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are you really going to force me to hang myself?!"

Fan Demin understood Niu Xiaoqiang's mood at the moment. He sighed softly and patted Niu Xiaoqiang on the shoulder: "Be calm, maybe it's not as serious as you imagined? It's about to board the plane, let's go check in the ticket." Bar."

The two did not have any entourage on this business trip, and they seldom saluted. They quickly passed the inspection and boarded the plane.

Although this was Niu Xiaoqiang's first time on a plane, he was not at all curious.Facing such a difficult predicament, how could Niu Xiaoqiang bother to look around?He sat in his seat with his head down, too lazy to talk to anyone.

Seeing his appearance, Fan Demin shook his head and closed his mouth.

After a period of turbulence, the plane entered normal flight status.The flight attendants pushed the trolleys and asked the passengers one by one if they needed food or drink.

When asked about Niu Xiaoqiang and Fan Demin's row, Fan Demin asked for a bottle of soda and a dinner.

Niu Xiaoqiang continued to keep his head down and didn't speak. Fan Demin knew that he hadn't eaten dinner, so he stretched out his arm and poked Niu Xiaoqiang's arm: "People are like iron and rice is steel. No matter what, you can't stop eating. The food and drinks here are all delicious. It's free, so come get one too."

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "For free?"

Fan Demin hummed: "It's indeed free."

Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head, glanced at the trolley, and found that there was a bottle of Moutai among the drinks on the top.He asked with a look of surprise: "Why is there still liquor?"

The flight attendant is a woman about 23 or [-] years old, she has a smile on her face all the time, she nodded with a smile when she heard this: "Sir, the Moutai on our flight is free, every passenger can taste it , would you like a drink?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's depressed mood finally relaxed a little, he nodded: "Then give me a drink."

The flight attendant quickly poured Niu Xiaoqiang a small glass of wine. In order to relieve his depression, Niu Xiaoqiang immediately drank the glass of wine with his neck raised, and then handed over the empty glass: "Give me another glass."

The flight attendant nodded and reminded while pouring the wine: "Please pay attention to controlling the amount of alcohol you drink, and don't get drunk, otherwise it will hurt your body."

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't care so much, he quickly drank the second glass of wine.

He was just about to ask the flight attendant to pour him a third glass of wine, when a passenger sitting in the front row snorted coldly and said with disdain, "What a bumpkin, he wants to take advantage of free things."
