Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1097 Questioning

Chen Changan didn't expect his superior to suddenly ask this question.

After thinking for a while, Chen Changan spoke.

“I think automakers don’t need to go public so early and should wait and see for a while.

Going public is a good thing, but the scale of the car factory is really too large.

An asset appraisal alone is not something that can be completed in a short period of time.

At present, domestic asset appraisals are still somewhat insufficient in assessing brand effects.

Especially several brands of automobile factories, with so many years of high quality assurance, they have become well-known brands in the eyes of many foreigners.

No one knows what will happen after the company goes public.

It is indeed risky to let the car factory be the first to go public.

We can wait for the first batch of listed companies to have a period of operation before deciding whether to list the subsequent car factories.

The superior thought about it and felt that what Chen Changan said was right.

Not many people in China know about this stock exchange, and no one can predict how it will perform in the end.

It is indeed rash to let an organization like a car factory take risks right away.

"It just so happens that many leaders are against it, so I'll just do a favor."

. . .

A few days later, the higher-ups issued a notice approving Comrade Shang Ping to be the director of the Machine Tool Factory and Comrade Yang Yunfei to be the director of the Chip Factory.

After seeing the notice, Deputy Director Hao's face looked extremely ugly, but when he thought about what was going to happen next, he began to look forward to it again.

Early in the morning, Li Chenglin came to the ministry to report. As the director of the security department of the automobile factory, he was also arranged by Chen Changan to the security department of the ministry.

The old subordinates at the automobile factory have been following Chen Changan for 10 to 20 years without moving.

Now that Chen Changan has moved his office location, these old subordinates will naturally follow suit.

"Director, no, Director. Honestly, the office environment here is the best. This office looks so impressive."

"Go away, this isn't your first time here, why didn't you say this before?"

"Before, I came into your office because of connections. Now I am still your subordinate. I come here because of work needs. Naturally, the feeling is different."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. You just took office, go and sort out the security department for me.

This is not a car factory. In the past, you faced buyers from private enterprises or profiteers, and their attitudes were a bit bad.

Now you have to face the leaders of various units, so you have to change the way you speak and the way you do things.

You also know what happened at the Central South Machinery Factory. I'm afraid there will be more such incidents in the future.

It is impossible for me to teach all the factories step by step, nor is it possible for me to revive every factory that is on the verge of bankruptcy.

You need to be more careful with your security work here in the future, and don't let others take advantage of you."

Hearing this, Li Chenglin put away his smile and said seriously that he understood.

Not long after, Xiao Yang walked into Chen Changan's office with a grim expression, quickly walked to Chen Changan's side, and spoke in a low voice.

"Director, Deputy Secretary Xu from the Discipline Inspection Commission is here."

Chen Changan was also stunned when he heard this. Why did the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission come to see him?

"Let Deputy Secretary Xu come in."

Xiao Yang nodded. No matter what the reason, the Discipline Inspection Commission coming to his house at this time would not be a good thing.

A few minutes later, Deputy Secretary Xu walked into Chen Changan's office with two staff members.

He first looked at the layout of the office, and then looked at Chen Changan.

"Director Chen, we're here to talk to you about your financial situation."

Chen Changan was also amused when he saw Deputy Secretary Xu's unfriendly look.

According to the Discipline Inspection Commission's personnel procedures, if they want to investigate me, my superiors cannot be unaware of it.

I just went to my superiors a few days ago, and it is obvious that they are not aware of this matter.

Otherwise, he would not be asking about the listing, but about economic issues.

As for Chen Changan himself, since he became the factory director, he has never taken a penny that does not belong to him.

Are you kidding? With such a big entertainment company in Hong Kong Island, how could Chen Changan be short of money?

Chen Changan had never used the money there at all, as he really had no place to spend it.

He and Zhu Ling earned a few thousand yuan a month, lived in a house allocated by the automobile factory, had a special car to pick them up when they traveled, usually had meals at the company, and went to the hospital for free when they were sick. The family had a savings of over 100,000 yuan, but they didn't know how to spend it.

Although the clothes Zhu Ling wore and the bag she carried were a bit expensive, they were all bought by Xiujuan.

There are several famous watches in Chen Changan's house, which were all brought back by Xiujuan from Hong Kong Island.

Chen Changan is not like some people who greedily collect all the money in the house but dare not spend a penny and just watch and admire.

Chen Changan, who doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation and usually likes to keep a low profile, has no idea what those people are greedy for.

Just tell the kitchen to cook whatever you want to eat. Even if there are more houses, he won’t be able to live in them all.

There are plenty of ways to make money. It is really not worth it to sacrifice your entire life for a little money or a few houses.

As long as it is an economic investigation, Chen Changan is not afraid of being investigated at all.

"What financial problems could I have? Please tell me directly, Deputy Secretary Xu."

"Okay, I like leaders like Director Chen who are frank and honest. So I would like to ask Director Chen something.

Regarding equipment procurement for machine tool factories, how did you reach a deal with foreign companies?

As far as I know, industrial mother machines are on the banned list.

According to the documents, you spent a total of 40 million US dollars in foreign exchange to introduce two sets of equipment.

These two sets of equipment are obviously impossible to buy at the price of 40 million.

I would like to ask Director Chen how you purchased these equipment at such a low price. Did you over-report the price and then embezzle the foreign exchange reserves of other units in order to gain the favor of your superiors?

After all, this transaction involves your upgrade from acting director to director.

We seriously suspect that you embezzled public funds from other units to finance your promotion."

“Deputy Secretary Xu meant that I shouldn’t purchase equipment at a low price.

Is it only right to purchase equipment at a price several times higher than the market price, just like everyone else?"

"Director Chen, please don't change the subject. It's normal for capitalist countries to pursue profit.

It is normal to purchase equipment at a higher price.

I really can't figure out why they would accept such a low price and sell the equipment to you.

Unless you compensated the other party privately, I cannot understand why they would sell it to you at such a low price."
