Chapter 414 Solving Economic Problems with Economic Means
Feng Xiaochen went back to the Academy of Social Sciences to ask for leave without much trouble. The conflict between the theoretical viewpoints is very fierce now. The Academy of Social Sciences also encouraged scholars and graduate students to participate in more social practices in order to gain experience from practice and verify the theory. After hearing Feng Xiaochen talk about Luo Ye’s situation, Chen Rongru just told him to be careful and not do too out of order, and then let him go.
Feng Xiaochen took the train to Luoye with Wang Weilong and first received a family banquet from the Wang family. A few years ago, Wang Weilong's wife Xue Li took her son Wang Wenjun to the capital for medical treatment. Feng Xiaochen helped their family solve the problem of food and accommodation in the city. Xue Li has been talking until now. Feng Xiaochen has been to Luoye several times in recent years, and every time he has to go to the Wang family for a meal, and he is very familiar with Wang Weilong's family.
"Xiao Feng, you are in graduate school, we haven't congratulated you yet. Look, Lao Wang always asks you for trouble, but we can't help you at all. How can we repay these favors in the future?"
At the dining table, Xue Li tried her best to hold Feng Xiaochen with vegetables while nagging with a smile.
Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, Brother Wang has helped me a lot. At the time of the Metallurgical Bureau, I was young and didn't understand many things in life and work. Brother Wang has always taken good care of me. Last time when I built a Sino-foreign joint venture in my hometown, Brother Wang helped me introduce dozens of retired workers from Luoye. They are now the backbone of the factory. By the way, Fan Jiashan, the current foreign manager of that company, isn't you Luoye's former retired deputy secretary, now the pillar of the company."
"I met Secretary Fan during the Chinese New Year. He praised your Chenyu Bearing Company, saying that your business philosophy is unparalleled. Such a small bearing company has a higher annual profit than our Luo Ye." Wang Weilong commented.
Feng Xiaochen said: "Old Wang, you can't talk nonsense. Chenyu Bearing Company is a Sino-foreign joint venture, and it has nothing to do with me personally."
Wang Weilong curled his lips disdainfully and said, "You Xiao Feng and me are still hiding it? Old Fan said that the company belongs to your Feng family. It is probably invested by your grandmother and the uncle from Germany, but isn't the final heir still you?"
"This is hard to say." Feng Xiaochen could only be careless. It is impossible to do such a thing perfectly. It made Wang Weilong feel that this company was invested by Yan Leqin, which is much better than letting him know that the real investor is Feng Xiaochen himself, at least the source of funds will not cause any suspicion. In fact, Feng Xiaochen is now refusing to admit in public that this company has something to do with him. For example, Meng Fanze, Luo Xiangfei and even Director Zhang all know that this company is a Feng family business, but this matter is not a violation, so everyone just cares about it.
Xue Li said gossipedly: "Xiao Feng, I think, if you are guarding such a big company at home, why do you have to work so hard to reinstall your work? Not only do you earn a lot of money, but you are still suffering from it. I heard from my old Wang..."
"What are you talking nonsense?" Wang Weilong interrupted his wife, turned to Feng Xiaochen and said, "Xiao Feng, don't mind, my wife just can't hide her words. Last time I heard an old colleague from the Metallurgical Bureau say that you went to the Academy of Social Sciences to study, and there is some hidden truth. Is this rumor true?"
Feng Xiaochen smiled helplessly, otherwise he would say that good things would not go out and bad things would spread thousands of miles away. All his own things had been passed down to Luoqiu. He said: "It's hard to say whether this is true or false. However, Director Luo and Director Zhang arranged for me to study at the Academy of Social Sciences, which was a manifestation of caring for me. In the past six months, I have gained a lot."
"I understand, I understand." Wang Weilong nodded, and then said: "I have always known that you, Xiao Feng, have a lofty ambitions. Unlike us who are so old, you have no ideals. Just thinking that the unit can be more stable and the bonus can be higher. By the way, Xiao Feng, there is something I need to say hello to you in advance. I will tell you that this time I went to Beijing. The leader of the factory specially explained it. I asked me to contact you. It would be best if I could ask you to come out and help the factory sell equipment. If you want to sell, there will naturally be some expenses. The factory leader asked me to ask, what do you have? "
"Why did you ask that?" Xue Li gave Wang Weilong a blank look and said, "Xiao Feng is our own family, you can't treat him as an outsider. Xiao Feng, let me tell you that our factory now has a contracting system. Salesmen can get commission when they go out to sell products. Depending on the product, the commission amount is 2% to 5%. If you can help our factory sell products, you can also get commission. Lao Wang asked you just now, this is it."
When Xue Li exposed the window paper, Wang Weilong felt a little embarrassed. He covered up and said, "Xue Li is right. This is what our factory leader asked me to ask. You are not a cadre who reinstalls the office now, but a student of the Academy of Social Sciences. You will not violate the regulations if you receive commissions. In fact, even if you are still reinstalling the offices, you can get commissions. If you don't say it publicly, it will be fine."
Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "There are still such regulations? By the way, Lao Wang, when you were in the capital, Director Luo said that he would contact you with the cold water mine and be able to order 4 cars. Will you also give a commission?"
Wang Weilong was a little embarrassed, and he shook his head and said, "Of course I can't give this. You don't know about Director Luo's character. If I dare to tell him about the commission, he might immediately drive me out."
Feng Xiaochen said: "This is not right. Director Luo made it clear that Pan Caishan agreed to ask for 4 cars for my sake, so these 4 cars should be counted in my performance. Can you tell the factory leaders and give me a few percent?"
"This..." Wang Weilong was stunned. This matter was a bit difficult to calculate. Whose credit is the order for the four cars of the Cold Water Mine? This order was contacted by Luo Xiangfei, but Luo Xiangfei could not get a commission. If it was not counted on Feng Xiaochen, it would be equivalent to saving the commission for the factory for 4 cars, which is to save money for the public. But if it is counted under Feng Xiaochen's name, Feng Xiaochen can get this money, which is private income. It seems a bit unreasonable to deprive private people of the opportunity to make money in order to save money for the public.
The price of a 150-ton electric wheel dump truck is 2 million yuan per unit, with a commission of 2%, which is also a full 40,000 yuan. 4 vehicles are 160,000 yuan, which is an astronomical figure. If Feng Xiaochen wants to be more serious, it makes sense. At least, he can play a double act with Pan Caishan, so it will be natural to get the award.
The factory has set this commission system, and some salesmen have received a high commission, which has caused controversy in the factory. However, nowadays, all factories are implementing such a system, and not everyone can do such a salesman. The factory leaders insist on not being moved by rumors, and gradually everyone calmed down and only envy those capable salesmen.
In this era, when the income gap began to emerge, there were many households in society, including tens of thousands of yuan, and 100,000 yuan, and the employees in the system envy and complain about the people who got rich first, but they were still acceptable in general. Of course, this also led to the gradual social trend of laughing at the poor but not the prostitute. Some people made money through evil ways, and no longer looked contempt like in the past. Instead, they felt that they had the ability and hated themselves for not having such courage and such thick blackness.
Seeing Wang Weilong's tangled look on his face, Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Old Wang, don't take it seriously, I'm just a joke. Director Luo helped you contact the order, how could I interfere?"
"Why can't it?" Xue Li said angrily from the side, "Old Wang, what's going on with this matter? If Xiao Feng really makes efforts, of course you have to help him fight for it. If the public money is not taken, it will be useless."
Wang Weilong was speechless. He really couldn't do anything to his wife. However, what his wife said seemed to be right. The commission was money from the public, and it would be useless if he didn't take it. What reason did he have to refuse for Feng Xiaochen?
"Xiao Feng, look..." Wang Weilong gave Feng Xiaochen a complicated look. The key to this matter depends on Feng Xiaochen's attitude. If Feng Xiaochen insists on not wanting it, then Wang Weilong will not have to work hard. But if Feng Xiaochen has this meaning, Wang Weilong can only go to the factory to help him fight for it, of course, it will take some verbalism. But for a commission of more than 100,000 yuan, what is it?
"No need." Feng Xiaochen waved his hand and said, "Old Wang, sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness. However, it was my responsibility to help Lengshui Mine at the beginning. Now Pan Caishan said that repaying my favor is actually just a politeness, so how can I take it seriously? Of course, I will not refuse the money I deserve. But this kind of clever name, especially the favors I made in my past job, is contrary to my principles of being a human being. I will definitely not want this kind of money."
"I'll just say that Xiao Feng is a principled person." Wang Weilong complimented. Feng Xiaochen's statement saved him a lot of trouble, and he felt relieved.
Xue Li disagreed. She said, "What are the principles? Now everyone talks about money, but who still talks about principles? Xiao Feng, according to me, you should ask for money from the factory. This is not someone's personal money, why don't you give it?"
"These four cars of the Cold Water Mine are not my credit, I can't ask for money." Feng Xiaochen said, "But, Lao Wang, even if you didn't mention it just now, I plan to tell you. This time you asked me to help Luo Ye sell products, and I plan to charge a fee. This is also an idea I am going to propose to Director Luo. Since administrative instructions are no longer easy to use, we will gradually learn to use economic means to solve economic problems."
