It was natural for him, the secretary who was about to retire, to be the villain.

As long as Liu Chunlai promised to help the county earn foreign exchange, they would help Liu Chunlai to get sewing machines and other skilled workers from other brother counties behind his back.

Liu Chunlai looked at Xu Zhiqiang and rolled his eyes.

"Leader! You are all state cadres. We can act like state cadres and don't have to bargain for everything, right?"

Liu Chunlai doesn't want to be busy earning foreign exchange.

What's more, generators are imported and absolutely expensive these days!

"In a word, agree or disagree. If you agree, we will arrange the work immediately and set off now." Lu Hongtao was straightforward.

We are all upright people, there is no need to beat around the bush.

That's not pleasant.

"How much foreign exchange do you need?"

Liu Chunlai did not agree directly.

He didn't understand the situation. If the county wanted to carry out a large project that cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, where would it be done?

If a county in the southwest region invests hundreds of millions of dollars, it will be enough for the whole county to know about it.

Before the country implemented the Western Development Strategy, investment in southwest China hardly attracted the attention of the people across the country.

The country’s foreign exchange reserves are now only a few billion dollars!

"Thirty million US dollars. Don't worry, as long as you don't expand too fast, electric energy can be supplied in the short term."

After Lu Hongtao and Xu Zhiqiang looked at each other, he opened his mouth and reported a number.

They have no intuitive understanding of eight million Hong Kong dollars and thirty million US dollars.

It's almost the same anyway.

A factory with more than 100 units can earn HK$8 million in less than two months of production.

30 million US dollars is only a year's work, not to mention that the scale will be expanded several times.

Liu Chunlai took a breath of cold air.

"I'm talking to leaders, you probably don't know the exchange rate of foreign exchange, right? The U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar are not the same!" After all, Liu Chunlai couldn't hold back, and he wasn't afraid of offending the county magistrate and secretary.

A mainland county that didn't even have export rights actually wanted him to get 30 million US dollars!

How much is thirty million dollars?

These days, the county’s annual GDP is only tens of millions?

"I'm not asking you to get 30 million US dollars right away. In three years, is that okay? The scale has expanded several times... Although 10 million US dollars a year is only 2 million more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

…”

Xu Zhiqiang's words made Liu Chunlai almost spit out blood.

Ten million US dollars is only 2 million more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars!

The other party is a secretary!

Secretary!

Do secretaries these days really don’t know anything about foreign exchange?

Liu Chunlai didn't believe it anyway.

The other party is playing dumb.

Make yourself feel that there is not much...

Then, he fell into their trap.

It’s a shame that I asked them if they wanted fame or money.

He forgot that local leaders in this era were soliciting investment and grabbing projects everywhere just to develop their own territory.

GDP, as a standard for measuring everything, has not become popular these days.

Like Xu Zhiqiang, he is about to retire. Even if he achieves results, he will not be able to advance.

Just to make the county's economy better.

"Do you know the foreign exchange rate?" Liu Chunlai asked the two of them.

Both of them shook their heads, especially Xu Zhiqiang, "Isn't it all foreign exchange? Isn't it the same?"

"Secretary Xu, just keep pretending." Liu Chunlai had to expose him. "This year's central parity rate is about 100 Hong Kong dollars to 25.5 yuan; that is, almost 4 Hong Kong dollars to 1 yuan of RMB; and the US dollar exchange rate

RMB, about 100 U.S. dollars is exchanged for 191 RMB, so let’s calculate it as 200... 100 million U.S. dollars, which is almost 8 Hong Kong dollars..."

Liu Chunlai didn't give them a chance to pretend to be stupid.

Both of them were a little embarrassed.

Liu Chunlai is much smarter than Liu Fuwang.

Show no mercy to the county magistrate and secretary at all.

"In other words, ten million U.S. dollars will be exchanged for 80 million Hong Kong dollars. You want me to earn 240 million Hong Kong dollars. What do we sell in our county? Just that clothing, 2.4 million sets need to be produced...

"

I don’t know if I don’t calculate the accounts.

I was shocked when I settled the accounts.

It turns out that the legend is true.

A domestic container of light industrial products can only be exchanged for a set of large-scale equipment that is not very advanced abroad.

No wonder Mou bought several hundred trains of light industrial products in exchange for four second-hand Tu-154s.

The added value of light industrial products is too low.

Although, Liu Chunlai's clothing has already made almost seven or eight times the profit.

The two of them were stunned when they heard Liu Chunlai's calculation.

2.4 million outfits?

How long does this take to produce?

I'm afraid it will fill the entire county.

Such a number is unimaginable to the leaders of poor counties in southwest China.

The two of them also took a deep breath.

This thing can't be done.

I couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Is the generator really so expensive? Can't we negotiate the price?" Liu Chunlai asked.

"That's not true. The price quoted over there is a generator set worth 6 million U.S. dollars. That's more than 20,000,000 yuan worth of generator sets. Our county's basic facilities must keep up with your development..." Lu Hongtao's tone

It's full of sadness.

The county built a 5x800kw run-of-river power station in the early 1970s and transformed it into a 5x2000kw power station in 1979.

According to their thinking, this is simply not enough.

The entire county is powered by electricity, and electricity for daily use is not much.

Given the conditions in the county, we cannot make much progress in developing agriculture, and we still have to use our brains in industry.

"The China Merchants Bureau has approached several large state-owned enterprises before. Once they saw our power supply capabilities, they stopped coming. Even if they were exempted from tax for ten years, they wouldn't come..." Xu Zhiqiang said quietly.

Liu Chunlai looked at him, and Lu Hongtao next to him wanted to give the secretary a few slaps.

Now, Liu Chunlai can't ask them for tax reduction policies?

"In the coming spring, if your annual output value reaches 100 million, the county will also reduce your taxes for five years. If it exceeds 1 billion, you will receive a direct tax reduction for ten years. Of course, only local taxes will be reduced, and national taxes will not be able to do anything..."

Xu Zhiqiang looked at Liu Chunlai and said seriously.

Liu Chunlai rolled his eyes.

Sure enough, the superior leaders have a clear vision.

Put all these guys in a pile.

From the two people in front of him to Yan Jinsong and then to his father, they all kept talking about the idea. No matter how difficult the matter was, they just kept moving forward.

What is the county's gross national product per year?

No wonder they dare to enjoy tax exemption for ten years.

The employment generated by such output alone is immeasurable.

"Secretary Lu, you are retiring." Liu Chunlai took it seriously.

You can save money, why not?

If a landlord's family has money, it has been saved by generations of ancestors.

If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard.

The secretary offered to give me a discount, how can I not take advantage of it?

"I'm still here." Lu Hongtao said.

"Then this generator set cannot be produced domestically? Even if it is just a little bit..." Such a large amount of foreign exchange is not high.

"If there is one in China, how about competing for foreign exchange with those regions that have priority?" Xu Zhiqiang's face became even more melancholy, "But there are no coal mines in our county, and you have oil and natural gas underground, and the cost of extraction is too high..."

This means that thermal power stations cannot be built.

What a wonderful hydropower station!
