Chapter 121
"Where can your uncle be so fast?" Li Yuanling asked in surprise.
"My uncle said that the department has transferred the research and development teams of the Datong Locomotive Factory that originally operated the Long March 1 and 2 gas turbine locomotives to the Northeast Locomotive Factory. As long as the reliability of the power core is solved, it is still okay to go on the road in a short time without considering the cost of use and convenient maintenance."
"The main reason for the failure of the development of the Long March 1 and 2 gas turbine locomotives was that the power engines transformed by domestic turbojet engines were unreliable. My uncle said that it only has a lifespan of more than 300 hours, and it will take 50 hours to repair it." Liang Yuan told Li Yuanling the news he got from Liang Haiping.
"I remember you told your uncle that the power core of gas turbine motorcycles is planning to introduce the gem turboshaft engine of Rolls and Rolls?" Li Yuanling asked casually.
Liang Yuan nodded.
"You plan to get the gas turbine motorcycles off the line in May next year. So before the end of this year, the gas turbine laboratory will have to negotiate the introduction of the gem turboshaft engine. It is easy to speed up the negotiation progress. As long as we propose it, Luoluo will not refuse. However, Xiaoyuan has a problem. Mom doesn't know if you have thought about it. Where do you plan to do the production line of the gas turbine and the huge amount of foreign exchange required for the introduction of the gem turboshaft engine?" Li Yuanling asked curiously.
"It's not a joke that I can't pay the funds after signing the contract and signing the technology. If it reaches the point of international arbitration, Xiaoyuan should not think about starting a business in the future." Li Yuanling's expression became serious.
In Li Yuanling's plan, the technology introduction with Luoluo will be negotiated in the second half of next year. At that time, the buyout funds for leafless electric fans and air purifiers have been recorded worldwide. Li Yuanling can do it within her ability and calculate the funds in her hands to discuss with Luoluo on how to introduce technology. This is the reasonable process for normal technology introduction.
Liang Yuan also knew that he would not explain the funding issue clearly with Li Yuanling. Li Yuanling would never cooperate with him to speed up the negotiations. Whether Comrade Lao Liang was promoted or not has always been dispensable in Li Yuanling's eyes.
"Mom, there are five channels for the entire company's funding source. There are four channels here that benefit mankind, and one that resists tyranny." Liang Yuan grabbed his hair and prepared to bite the bullet and explain his old truth.
Li Yuanling made Liang Yuan happy. He reached out and grabbed Liang Yuan's ear and said, "You little bastard, just talk nonsense. You are also resisting tyranny. Now you really can't believe a word."
The four sources of income from Suifenhe's border trade with the Soviet Union, the super shopping center in Democratic Germany, the global buyout of leafless electric fans and air purifiers, and the Ministry of Railways' equipment rental funds are Liang Yuanming's sources of income, while the weapons smuggling of Iran cannot be made public and is simply shameful.
Although Li Yuanling is not sure what the specific financial figures of the entire group are, she still knows the channels for Liang Yuan to make money.
"I heard from your Aunt Ning. In order to resist tyranny, Qilianshan drove the people from the Ministry of Weapons and Industry back to China in front of the Iranians. You were instructed to do this." Li Yuanling asked with Liang Yuan's ear.
Naturally, Liang Yuan would not admit it even if he killed Liang Yuan. He insisted that the situation was tense at that time Qilianshan was adapting to the situation. As for why the people from the Weapons were confused when they returned, Liang Yuan refused to admit it and Li Yuanling had no choice but to deal with Liang Yuan.
"You have purchased the A7 attack aircraft and overhaul line from Iran. Even if there is still a remaining one, it will be placed on the side where you prepare for the second batch of F14 fighters. Tell me, mom, see where you can transform foreign exchange from." Li Yuanling took back her arm and looked at Liang Yuan with a smile.
"I'll do some calculations for my mother and see where the funds will come out." Liang Yuan said with a smile.
"This year, the company's expenditure is roughly divided into five parts. Among the three laboratories in Nanhu Science and Technology Park, my mother has 30 million. The chip laboratory has established a device branch this year and has also built a lot of broken production lines. The more it costs about 180 million yuan, and the metallurgical laboratory has spent 60 million yuan." Liang Yuan calculated the investment in scientific research.
"The cost expenditure of leafless electric fans and air purifiers is 300 million yuan. The super shopping center in Democratic Germany is expected to be able to spend more than 200 million yuan by the end of the year. The infrastructure of the science and technology park apartments, hotels and water parks has been invested in a total of 60 million yuan. Together, the expenditure of the entire company should not exceed 900 million yuan." Liang Yuan couldn't help but smack his lips. After all, he really spent a lot this year.
"At the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Railways allocated 520 million yuan of equipment rental funds and 100 million yuan of equipment warranty. A few days ago, Aunt Ning helped me ask for a compensation order of 520 million yuan from the Ministry of Railways. With the stable profit of more than 30 million yuan in Suifenhe, the company's annual revenue this year is not much different even if it does not exceed 1.5 billion yuan."
"Xiaoyuan, you haven't calculated the expenses from United Bank and your uncle yet?" Li Yuanling said.
"The United Bank's expenditure is 400 million yuan, but the money is our own, but it cannot be used for the time being.

"But who is not owing some debts these days? Taking out 200 million is enough for my uncle to pay the workers." Liang Yuan said, smiling.
Li Yuanling heard Liang Yuan say so clearly that he would not understand Liang Yuan’s thoughts, and said helplessly: “When you signed the agreement with Shengjing Road Bureau, you didn’t plan to deliver the 25s marshal on time. Apart from your uncle’s side, the materials and device expenditures of the leafless electric fan and air purifier are not planned to settle this year. Apart from the R&D allocation of the Science and Technology Park, the rest of the projects are all owed foreign debts.”
"Mom, how can it be called debt? It should be called warranty. In three months, Shengjing Road Bureau will pay the equipment rental payment of 500 million yuan in the second year. The company is not short of money. Besides, among the foreign trade orders placed by the company, there are many small companies that can borrow from Shenzhen United Bank. Even if they don't settle the payment, they will owe us money first." Liang Yuan brought up an extremely crooked reason.
It has to be said that although Liang Yuan looked down on Lin Jian’s long-term strategic plan for Shenzhen Development Bank, Lin Jian is one of the few talents in China in terms of tactics and execution. At the beginning of the year, United Bank had 400 million yuan in funds at the bottom. With the original working capital in hand and leaving enough bank reserves, Lin Jian released all the funds of more than 400 million yuan.
In the 1980s, there were so many small enterprises in the Shenzhen Special Administrative Region. Countless enterprises were hungry in the early stages of development. Large state-owned banks have always disdained such customers.
Therefore, Shenzhen United Bank launched simplified procedures. After short-term loans to medium-sized and small enterprises, the threshold was almost flattened. In just half a year, among the newly opened accounts of United Bank, there were more than 3,000 small enterprises. More than 500 million yuan were issued loans. United Bank became the first choice account opening bank for private enterprises in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
Liang Yuan was able to mobilize a variety of goods in a short time to meet the needs of the super shopping malls of the democratic Germany. Shenzhen United Bank made an indelible contribution to the centralized contact, which also made Liang Yuan initially realize the huge role that a large bank can play in the adjustment and promotion of its industrial structure.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoyuan said so much, it only means that the entire group has reached a balance of revenue and expenditure this year. Even if you can still raise 100 million or 200 million yuan in your hands, where does foreign exchange come from?" Li Yuanling continued to ask with some amusement and cry.
Liang Yuan and Li Yuanling said so much to make their mother feel at ease. The plan set at the beginning of this year has long been beyond recognition. The introduction of a batch of F14 fighter jets and a batch of A7 attack aircraft has made Liang Yuan's capital chain tight for more than half a year, and there is a possibility of breaking if there is a slight mistake.
"Mom, guess how much sales did the United Shopping Center in Democratic Germany sell last month?" Liang Yuanshen asked mysteriously.
"Fifty million or sixty million? Is it better than the business of an affiliated company?" Li Yuanling asked curiously.
Liang Yuan flattened his lips and stretched out his fingers and shook them, saying, "It's just that East Germany has an average sales of 7 million yuan per day. Liu Wenyue sold 229 million yuan in September, which is almost a year long. This is the case when the shopping mall strictly controls the number of people entering the mall every day."
Li Yuanling was slightly stunned and said with some emotion: "The world's top ten industrial countries are indeed not something we can compare with."
According to the statistical report published by the World Bank on December 15, 1987, the per capita national income of Democratic Germany was US$12,480, while the per capita national income of the Republic was still below US$5,000 until Liang Yuancheng. According to decrypted data from the Cold War in later generations, in the mid-to-late 1980s, the purchasing power of Democratic Germany was always equivalent to about 70% of the United States, and at that time, Britain was only equivalent to 55% of the United States.
The Nanjing Suning Appliance Xinjiekou flagship store, which was known as the first commercial sales store in the Republic, exceeded 10 million on the first day of opening the store at the end of 1999. Shortly after entering the new century, the annual sales of a single store exceeded 1 billion yuan. The entire population of the entire Nanjing district was only more than 7 million, which was far less than that of the democratic Germany, which has 16 million residents, not to mention that the income levels of the two were very different.
At this time, the Democratic Germany's demand for light industrial commodities had reached a thirst level. Due to the limited population and severe influence of the Soviet Union, the Democratic Germany naturally focused on the direction of high-value-added heavy industry, and invested very little in labor-intensive light industry, textiles, and food processing.
Therefore, in the late 1980s, the entire Warsaw Pact camp had a phenomenon. The country could produce high-tech aircraft, cannons, tanks, cars, and smelting world-class metal materials, but it could not produce candies, clothes, shoes, toys, and even enough food.
Although Liang Yuan has seen it in many historical documents that the big bubble gum, half-large down jackets, Huili sports shoes, copycat walkman, Meilin lunch meat, large thermos and other products in the Republic had a profound influence on a whole generation of Soviets, the shopping atmosphere similar to fanatical in Germany described by Liu Wenyue still scared Liang Yuan.
The first few days after the opening, Berlin locals were queuing up. Now the entire Democratic Germany knows that Berlin has opened an extremely luxurious shopping center. Many light industrial products are available in stock. The result is that since Liang Yuan left East Germany, the square outside the shopping center has never been exposed to the ground so far, and there is a rush of people no matter whenever it is.
The East German people queuing up at night to set up countless tents in the square, occupying a favorable position, and striving to enter this shopping paradise before the shopping center is fully equipped the next day.
"Although the sales in Democratic Germany are good, they are not helpful to my mother's negotiations. After all, the East German mark cannot be exchanged between the pound or the US dollar. My trump card for asking my mother to speed up the negotiations is that the number of shopping malls from Federal Germany has increased explosively in the past month."
"The Federal German Marks received by the shopping mall now have increased from tens of thousands of marks/day when it was just opened to millions/day, and as of now, there are no signs of slowing growth." Liang Yuan said proudly.
Liang Yuan created such a cool shopping center in East Berlin. The most important purpose was to kick the door of the General Agreement on Switch Trade before the reunification of the two Germanys and completely throw the damn textile quota aside.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Republic had a quota for textiles exported to the Federal Republic of Germany every year. It was about 1.5 billion Sidmarks. The domestic stockings with a factory price of no more than 1.5 yuan can be sold at least 20 Sidmarks when exported to the Federal Republic of Germany.
The profit here is no longer described by the word "spreading profit". It is precisely because of this that foreign countries regard the extremely cheap textiles in the Republic as a disaster, and the quota issued every year is very small. For the Republic, the textile quota at that time was even more expensive than a thousand gold.
Some large state-owned trading groups with large quotas do not want to organize production at all, and live easily and freely by reselling quotas. There are countless second-generation officials who have completed higher-level original accumulation in this way.
Liang Yuan has quietly dug a hole in the textile protection barrier similar to a reservoir dam.
"How did you solve the exchange rate problem? How could a democratic Germany allow you to exchange the currencies of two countries freely?" Li Yuanling was really frightened by Liang Yuan this time.
"Mom, the Yuanjia enterprise in Democratic Germany is a multinational enterprise. Liu Wenyue registered a travel company in West Berlin, Federal Germany, started a day trip to East Berlin, and launched a series of consumption packages, ranging from hundreds of West Dermarks to thousands. Of course, while purchasing tourism products, West German tourists will get a large amount of membership points. This membership points can be consumed in all the services provided by Yuanjia enterprises..." Liang Yuan said with a chuckle.
Speaking of this, Li Yuanling could not guess Liang Yuan’s entire plan. Li Yuanling patted her forehead speechlessly and said helplessly: “What should I do in the Democratic Germany? Xiaoyuan’s plan is obviously just covering up his ears.”
"Mom, how can this be called "hiding the ears"? Dongde Yuanjia and West De Yuanjia have always taken peace as their mission, and are committed to promoting mutual trust, mutual benefit, unity and cooperation between the two Germanys. They work hard to eliminate confrontation between the East and the West and resume dialogue and exchanges. This just cause should be supported by anyone with a conscience." Liang Yuan said seriously.
Seeing Li Yuanling pretending to lift his ears, Liang Yuan quickly put away his righteous face and said with a smile: "If I don't let me make money, I will split up with them. At most, I will lose some money. At that time, how should the democratic Germany and the Soviet Union face the criticism of the angry East German people and Western media was the most troublesome."
During the confrontation between the two camps, Western currencies have always been very popular in Warsaw Pact member countries. The exchange rate between the two German marks was 1:4, while the private exchange rate had long become around 1:6. It is impossible for Germany to let go of the difference caused by the exchange rate. How could Liu Wenyue leave such a big loophole and ignore it? Although this kind of thing is all about the opportunity to make money from the United Shopping Center. No one can play with it without Dongde Yuanjia, but eating alone is always easy to be jealous.
Therefore, Liu Wenyue simply pulled the Soviet Army's headquarters to Europe and directly turned the cool artificial lake and large underground bar in the shopping center into a joint venture between the two parties. At the same time, multiple official exchange points for the two Demarks were set up inside the shopping center, and then all exchange points were distributed to the Democratic Germany and the Soviet Army's headquarters. As for how these two companies coordinated what exchange rates to adopt, Liu Wenyue completely ignored it.
As a result, the exchange of the two German marks turned into a situation where the three Chinese-District Yuanjia, the Soviet Army headquarters in Europe and the Democratic Germany were in a melee. However, Yuanjia, East De, did not go to this muddy water, but set up a shopping area specializing in high-end European and American goods in shopping centers and large bars, which only accepts European and American currency settlement.
Of course, ordinary East German citizens can also exchange European and American currencies at the foreign currency exchange points in the shopping center. As for whether the Democratic Germany and the Soviet Army’s European Command can exchange for ordinary citizens, it has nothing to do with the shopping center.
Liang Yuan explained all the layout of the Democratic German Super Mall in detail with Li Yuanling, and then said with a smile: "Old Liu called me a few days ago and said that now there are at least 3,000 people running between East and West Berlin every day, like our counterattack on the Sino-Soviet border in Suifenhe. In September, West Germany Yuanjia received 27 million Federal German Marks. How could it be 1,500 to 6 million US dollars?"
"As long as this trade line is not cut off, if it is counted as the year-end, even if there is no $100 million, it will not be much different. Now my mother has nothing to worry about accelerating the negotiations."
After listening to Liang Yuan's words, Li Yuanling looked at Liang Yuan carefully for a long time before asking: "Xiaoyuan, you thought of these things yourself."
"I'm not that great. Everyone studied the plan together, but it was up to me to decide in the end." Liang Yuan dared not admit that these things were all made by himself.
"Yes, Aunt Liang, when we were traveling in Germany during the summer vacation, Xiaoyuan often discussed with Manager Liu and the others until late at night." Ning Wanjia added.
After hearing Ning Wanjia say that, Liang Yuan wished he could hold the little girl and kiss her. It was so tacit understanding.
Li Yuanling thought for a while and said, "Okay, since Xiaoyuan has implemented the funds, my mother will speed up the negotiations. I also want to see the gas engine production line go into production as soon as possible."
