Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1033 The capacity to accommodate people

Director Zou walked out of the office with Chen Changan, looking depressed.

Chen Changan ignored Director Zou the entire time and got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove away. With such a large order, he had to go back and arrange production quickly. He had no time to talk to Director Zou.

Director Zou was still thinking about the impact of the plan changes at the automobile factory.

The plans made by the ministry are not made on a whim.

The plan that was finally formulated was to make things difficult for Chen Changan, but unexpectedly, the war in the Middle East ended suddenly.

Now that he hadn't caused any trouble for Chen Changan, he not only had to change his plan after returning, but he also had to watch the car factory continue to earn foreign exchange.

At this time, Director Zou was really uncomfortable.

It's weird that there are countries that are eager to give money to car factories.

They are all large state-owned factories. Why doesn't the country order cars from other factories?

Then Director Zou thought of something and turned back to the office.

"Why don't you go back and change your plan? What are you doing back now?"

"Leader, the two countries in the Middle East have been fighting for so many years. Now that the war is over, the next step must be to restore the economy and rebuild their homes.

If they can order millions of pickup trucks from us, they can order other things too.

Both families own mines, so they need trucks to rebuild their homes, right?

We can also sell them trucks, even if they are cheaper, we can still make more money than pickup trucks, and that would bring in a lot of foreign exchange, right?

The superior looked at Director Zou as if he were a fool.

Director Zou thought his suggestion was very good. If he could earn a lot of foreign exchange without going through the automobile factory, it would be a great political achievement.

At this time, he was doubting whether Director Zou was suitable to be the director.

Not only does he not understand the international situation, he doesn't even understand the products produced by the factories under his control.

"Director Zou, you don't think that people with mines at home are stupid and rich, right?

They are rich, but they are not stupid. Whether it is a pickup truck or a truck, our country is not the only country that can produce it.

Compared with those old powers, their technology is better than ours and their output is higher than ours.

If you were the leader of two countries, would you travel so far to order vehicles?"

Director Zou shook his head.

"Yeah, if you don't buy them, then they won't buy them either. But why would they go to the car manufacturers and order one million pickup trucks?"

Director Zou subconsciously shook his head again.

Previously, he was only responsible for the production and research and development of weapons and equipment.

In the past few years, he was only focused on the research and development and production of weapons and equipment, and still lacked understanding of the international situation.

He is not qualified to interfere in large projects, and he cannot win small projects. His understanding of the international situation is only better than that of several major countries.

From his understanding of the Middle East, he knew that Chen Changan had negotiated a large order. The people there were rich.

The superior shook his head upon seeing this.

"For these two countries, after this war, they understand the importance of weapons and equipment.

Especially Hussein, if he didn't have our weapons and equipment, he might have lost his territory.

The same thing happened to Persia later. Without the planes we sent in time, they would have been in trouble.

Now that the war is over, both sides will naturally thank us.

After all, it was us who sent them weapons and equipment at the critical moment.

This is at least a favor. After all, we didn't take advantage of others or ask for exorbitant amounts.

Part of this friendship will be attributed to our country, and part of it will be attributed to Director Chen.

It's not easy to thank our country, but it's not easy to thank us either. So I can only thank Director Chen.

As a Communist Party member, Chen Changan naturally could not accept gifts from foreigners, and the other party was well aware of this.

It just so happened that Chen Changan was the director of a car factory, and the pickup trucks produced by the factory had been sold in third world countries for many years.

Whether it is quality, reputation or price, they are all pretty good. Purchasing the pickup truck is also a way to thank Chen Changan for his help.

If they really think other products are better, why do they only say they want to purchase pickup trucks and not mention other products at all?

As for the truck you mentioned, it has never been exported. How would people know what the condition of your truck is?

We would sell it to others if it weren't for the favor. What else would they be interested in our house besides the weapons?

The car factory's pickup trucks have at least proven themselves in the international market.

If foreign exchange is really that easy to make money, why would I wait for you?"

Director Zou was very embarrassed by his superior's words.

Looking at Director Zou's expression, the superior thought for a moment and continued.

"You should learn more from Chen Changan. Your position is quite high, so you should learn more about the international situation.

The reason why Chen Changan can continue to maintain his sign-in list is not just because of the car factory.

Even if there was no car factory, people would find ways to maintain their friendship with Chen Changan.

Especially the princes from wealthy families. Although they have no contact with each other in normal times, as long as Chen Changan goes to the wealthy families, he will be treated like a national leader.

Also, I've heard about what happened between you and Chen Changan, and I'm telling you the truth.

A new official has three things to do when he takes office. I understand that. Leaders don't have much authority or temper.

But the automobile factory has been a major foreign exchange earner for decades. Now that you have become the main leader of the automobile factory, what you should do is not to restrict it, but to let it develop.

You have to know that if I were asked to choose between the car factory and you, I would choose the car factory without hesitation.

Now it is a market economy, and the country focuses on economic development. You should feel fortunate that you have a car factory under your control.

As the leader of the automobile factory, you can be said to have a share of all the credit for the factory's achievements.

As a leader, you must be tolerant and allow capable people to work for you.

You have to be afraid that one day your subordinates will become equal to you. If such a day really comes, as long as you have never targeted them, they will also be your political resources.

If you are really far ahead of your subordinates, it is because of your own incompetence, and you cannot blame others.

You can't just say that if you never get promoted, your subordinates will waste their whole lives under you, right?

Okay, that's all I have to say. Think about it carefully when you go back."

Director Zou walked out of the office again and looked at the gloomy sky. It was about to snow.

Director Zou exhaled a puff of white mist, his face pale, and muttered to himself.

"Leader, it's not that I'm intolerant, but I have to do this in order to establish my authority.

Now that you have offended someone, it's probably too late to stop and try to make peace.

Only if Chen Changan bows his head first, will it be possible for us to coexist at the same time."
