Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 884 Save us

Faced with the flattery of several factory managers, Chen Changan did not dare to make any promises casually.

"Everyone, I am also very nervous. You are under a lot of pressure, and I am under a lot of pressure too.

With the domestic industrial level, as long as you improve the quality, you won’t have to worry about not being able to sell your products.

There will even be people waiting at your factory gate every day, begging you to sell your products to them.

I can't do that. Our factory's products are all sold overseas.

Although we earn foreign exchange, no matter how we reform, the country’s lack of foreign exchange remains a constant.

The state has shown us that our automobile factories will definitely use RMB for settlement.

You all are experts in this field, so I will not hide anything. The exchange rate issue is a big problem.

If we really settle at the official exchange rate, I’m afraid it won’t be long before our car factory can’t even pay its workers’ wages.”

When several factory managers heard this, they immediately felt that Chen Changan was even more miserable than they were.

What Chen Changan said is right. Take the Tianjin Bicycle Factory as an example.

They produce the country's first domestically produced bicycle brand - Fei Ge.

It is quite famous in the northern region. Even if it is produced according to the plan every month, it is not enough to sell.

He said he was extremely nervous, but in fact he was just being modest. In fact, he had been looking forward to reform for a long time.

The exchange rate issue has little to do with them. After all, their bicycles are only competitive in China. If they are sold abroad, I'm afraid no one will even take a look at them.

The exchange rate issue involves many issues, and Chen Changan can raise them and complain about them.

However, this matter has nothing to do with them, but they dare not express their opinions casually.

After a few simple business compliments, the time was almost up, everyone started to take their seats, and the meeting began.

After seeing everyone take their seats, the leader of the Economic Commission spoke directly.

"The reform this time is quite significant, so everyone here should be mentally prepared.

First of all, the reform units must adhere to the socialist direction and strengthen the leadership of the Party. This cannot be changed.

On this basis, we must carry forward the spirit of independence and self-reliance.

On the basis of summarizing the experience of enterprise management in my country, we should learn scientific management methods from foreign countries. "

After the Economic Commission leader finished speaking, he looked up at several factory directors.

Some people had frowned, some lowered their heads and wrote quickly, while Chen Changan was sighing that reform was really coming.

“The key to this reform is to expand the autonomy of enterprise management and change the enterprise fund system to a profit retention system.

In this way, the company can have certain powers in product production, sales, trial production, fund use, personnel arrangements, and employee rewards and punishments.”

The director of the Jinmen Bicycle Factory asked impatiently.

"Leader, how do we solve the problem of the various raw materials that our companies will need to purchase in the future?"

“This is a matter for your higher authorities. We have our own arrangements.

Your competent departments will implement the "Five Determinations" for several of your companies within this year.

That is, the production direction, production scale, fuel power, raw material sources and writing relationships must be worked out.”

The mood at the Sijiucheng Iron and Steel Plant and the Tianjin Bicycle Factory was pretty good.

But the leader of the Magic City Diesel Engine Factory frowned.

"Leader, after this reform, is it true that the higher-ups basically don't care about our companies anymore?"

Some companies' products are indeed easy to sell, such as bicycles, they can sell as many as they make.

However, as they produce diesel engines, due to their limited technical level, it is not easy for them to sell their products without a plan issued by the state.

Not to mention selling them abroad, even if our own people were to choose, who would be willing to use their products?

"It's just a pilot project, don't worry. The higher authorities will not ignore you.

Not only that, we will also help you make plans, make unified arrangements, and ensure your sales.”

With the guarantee from the higher-level leadership, several factory managers finally felt relieved.

Chen Changan, who was standing by, knew that from now on, the abilities of all the factory managers would be tested.

Even a small factory can be developed into a giant enterprise if it is capable.

Even if the factory seems to be thriving now, it will probably go bankrupt in a few years if it is not capable.

Once a factory starts to close down, more and more factories will follow.

"To implement enterprise profit retention, to put it simply, your factory makes money and a certain proportion of it is retained by your factory.

This part of the funds can be used for bonuses and even welfare of factory workers.

If the factory wants to trial-produce any new products, it can also use this part of the funds.

For example, if you are a bicycle factory and you want to produce a new bicycle, you used to need to write a report to your superiors.

In the future, as long as you have money and feel the need to produce new bicycles, you can develop and produce them on your own.

Another point is that companies have the right to apply for product exports. As long as you have confidence in your own products, you can participate in foreign trade negotiations and retain foreign exchange. "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room looked at Chen Changan.

Everyone knows that foreign exchange is good. Just like a car factory using foreign exchange to buy a set of world-leading TV production lines.

After returning, the televisions produced can be directly exported to earn foreign exchange. Isn’t this production line a hen that lays golden eggs?

Who doesn't want to earn foreign exchange? Why can't they earn foreign exchange by exporting? It's because the equipment they have is not good enough.

As long as they have advanced equipment from abroad, they will have the confidence to earn foreign exchange.

But if you want to earn foreign exchange, you must use foreign exchange to purchase equipment. Where does this foreign exchange come from?

But it’s different now. They don’t have foreign exchange, but the car factories do.

Nowadays, all the products of the automobile factory are foreign exchange earning products, and the foreign exchange can be retained. The automobile factory has become rich all of a sudden.

They only need to borrow foreign exchange from the automobile factory, or exchange foreign exchange, and use the foreign exchange to purchase advanced equipment. Their factory will also become a foreign exchange earning unit in the future.

"However, it is not easy to get these retentions. Enterprises must meet the four basic requirements of output, quality, profit and supply contracts in order to obtain retentions.

For every item not completed, 10% of the retained funds will be deducted.

So if you want to get the retained earnings, you need to work harder on production and quality.”

At this moment, everyone in the conference room was deep in thought, with the only word left in their minds was foreign exchange.

“This reform measure is aimed at expanding the business management autonomy of enterprises.

Mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises and workers, improve the production efficiency and economic benefits of enterprises, and accumulate experience for the efficiency of the urban economic system. "

Chen Changan felt that these reforms had little to do with the automobile factory.

The main reason is that the products of automobile manufacturers are basically not sold domestically.

These relaxed policies have basically been implemented in automobile factories.

As for retained earnings, the automobile factories also had them before, but they were all with the higher-level departments.

Now the money will be transferred to the factory account.”

As soon as the meeting ended, the director of the bicycle factory came very quickly and came in front of Chen Changan.

"Director Chen, you have to save our bicycle factory."
