Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

In the city hall meeting room, the top leader, Mr. Chen, Fang Boyan who had just been promoted to the second-in-command, and a group of bigwigs from various departments looked at Li Chaoyang and Lin Kaifeng who were sitting opposite them without saying a word.

This was the first time in Li Chaoyang's life that he was being watched by so many senior leaders.

I was sweating all over and blamed myself again and again.

Why did I believe Lin Kaifeng's words for some unknown reason?

I followed him to the city hall and persuaded the leaders to coordinate the loan matters.

"Dear leaders, if what I just said is true, whether it is exporting disposable bamboo chopsticks or introducing production lines to produce ham sausages, it will be of great help to the economic development of the entire city."

"It can more comprehensively solve the various problems existing in Aimin Commune."

Unlike the nervous Li Chaoyang, Lin Kaifeng had attended countless national-level meetings in his previous life.

His mentality was calm and his tone was neither hurried nor slow.

He has the demeanor of a great general.

Fang Boyan and Leader Chen looked at each other.

Everyone believes that Lin Kaifeng has the ability to turn decay into magic.

but……

This time the machinery company wants to borrow not tens of millions, but a full eight million!!!

Once there is a mistake.

The local people will inevitably follow suit.

After a long silence, Leader Chen said, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, let's put aside other issues for now and just talk about your idea of ​​three months of construction and six months of production."

"You have dealt with foreign companies many times before, so you must know that it would take at least a year to implement the introduction of foreign production lines."

"Even if we guarantee and borrow 8 million from the bank to help the meat processing plant expand, you can't start production in six months."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed expressions of approval.

Northern Machinery Company is a benchmark enterprise that is given priority support by the entire city.

The future, achievements and even local economic development of the people can be improved.

Machinery companies have a lot to do with it.

Under normal circumstances, only Lin Kaifeng's request was not excessive.

All relevant departments will give him the green light.

But for this matter, Lin Kaifeng thought it was too perfect.

Or maybe, a little too naive.

It is undeniable.

The leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building are very optimistic about the Northern Machinery Company, but that does not mean that the Northern Machinery Company can jump out of the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements.

The regulations that need to be followed must be followed.

When purchasing ham sausage filling machines from island countries, foreign exchange settlement must be used.

At this time in the country, it is difficult to earn foreign exchange, and even more difficult to spend foreign exchange to buy things.

The vast majority of foreign exchange is used to purchase industrial equipment and advanced weapons and equipment.

There is a series of review processes for how to spend the remaining small amount of foreign exchange.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Leader, I have already thought about this issue."

"We can conduct a more primitive transaction."

"Goods for goods."

Hearing the words "goods for goods", Fang Boyan said, "You mean, we want to exchange our goods for the island country's ham sausage filling machine?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said: "Normally, once a manufacturing company needs to purchase imported equipment, it needs to go through four processes and submit an application to the directly affiliated department, which will then discuss and review it."

“After completing the first round of review, the relevant applications will be submitted to the procurement planning department.”

“After that, the department will discuss it.”

"After going through 81 stages, it was finally sent to the Ministry of Commerce for approval, and the foreign trade department exchanged foreign currency, and then began purchasing."

"We have to go through so many procedures because our foreign exchange reserves are insufficient. We have to spend every penny as if it were a dollar."

"My idea is to find another way and exchange disposable chopsticks with the island merchants for a ham sausage filling production line."

“There is no foreign exchange transaction involved.”

Fang Boyan was very surprised when he heard this.

What's going on with Lin Kaifeng's brain?

This method can be thought of.

"Dear leaders, Director Li's distant relative is studying in an island country and is very familiar with the use of disposable chopsticks in the island country."

“Capitalist society emphasizes spending the least amount of money to gain the greatest benefit.”

"It is not difficult to make disposable chopsticks, but the labor cost and material cost are difficult."

"Island countries are short of resources, and all the raw materials they use to produce disposable chopsticks are imported."

"Plus, the island nation's economy has been growing rapidly, so the cost of employing people will inevitably increase significantly."

"In these two aspects, we are more competitive than local companies in the island country."

Then, Lin Kaifeng calculated the economic accounts for everyone.

Compared with island countries, domestic labor costs are almost zero.

There are large bamboo forests in some parts of the area.

Looking across the southern region, bamboo forests are countless.

The cost of raw materials is almost negligible.

"My mentor once said that for a 300% profit margin, capitalists can risk the guillotine."

"What will the merchants from the island countries choose when faced with Chinese chopsticks that are cheaper and of similar quality to their own disposable chopsticks?"

Lin Kaifeng asked a soul-searching question.

The same product is sold for one dollar in one and 70 cents in another.

If the quality is almost the same, I will definitely choose the latter.

This is the inherent attribute of capital.

Not subject to personal will.

Ham sausage has become popular in the island country.

The production line of this product is not confidential.

There is no reason for foreigners not to change.

"Dear leaders, I have already explained to you what ham sausage is."

“It’s practical and simple, you can eat it right after opening it, and it has a richer taste than canned food.”

Lin Kaifeng told everyone with full confidence about the unlimited development of ham sausage.

"Once the ham sausage is produced, I think ordinary people will buy it in large quantities, and we may even get purchase orders from the military."

"The climate in the southern Xinjiang jungle is hot and humid, which is not suitable for long-term storage of food."

"In addition, the troops need to be constantly on the move, so starting a fire to cook is not realistic."

“Canned meat is heavy, has a single flavor, and is mostly fat.”

"If you eat it when it's hot, you might get nauseous and vomit after just a few bites."

After the words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought.

Fang Boyan glanced at Leader Chen thoughtfully.

Leader Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lin Kaifeng's next few words were meant to save face.

The soldiers in southern Xinjiang were not just disgusted by canned meat.

But disgust.

Leader Chen’s son is a battalion commander in the army.

They were also among the first group of people to join the war.

Not long ago, my son wrote a letter home.

He said everything was fine, except the food which was hard to swallow.

Military canned meat, most of which are canned braised pork.

More fat and less lean meat.

There is a thick layer of marinade on top.

Lots of fat can provide the calories needed on the battlefield.

However, problems also arise.

The climate in the south is hot, which affects appetite.

The marinade is mainly made of lard, which tastes particularly greasy.

After heating, the taste will be somewhat better.

But on the battlefield, there are not so many opportunities to heat up.

Over time, the soldiers began to dislike canned braised pork.

The pig fat is just disgusting.

Some soldiers from the south who have a light taste for food will also suffer from diarrhea.

Seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.

And it is just as Lin Kaifeng said.

The cans are heavy and inconvenient to carry.

Assuming that Lin Kaifeng is not exaggerating.

Compared to canned pork, sausage may be more suitable for front-line troops.
