Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Xu Damao was stunned. Could the son-in-law of a capitalist pursue a career in politics?

In the original drama, Xu Damao only followed Li Huaide for a while during the strong wind, but that was only power, not real leadership, right?

Is this big boss trying to make fun of me?

If you have received the benefits, why don't you just go back to your Ministry of Metallurgy? We each have our own benefits, so why don't we just go back to our own homes and look after our own mothers?

"Boss, you are not kidding, are you? With my status..."

Xu Damao also couldn't understand it. In 59, materials were already so tight, why were you setting up a speaker factory?

Are you too full?

“But it has the potential to become the world’s number one, and it can earn foreign exchange!”

"Speakers are neither food nor clothing, and they are luxury goods. We are making this stuff now... but it is not used in China? It is not appropriate to make this stuff now!"

“It earns foreign exchange!”

"I want to continue showing movies... looking for creative inspiration. I'm a rapper... a musician!"

“It earns foreign exchange!”

Xu Damao was helpless, the boomerang came back and hit himself, and being able to earn foreign exchange was what he had just said.

"I'll give you the blueprints, can you find someone to do it? I don't know how to manage, and I don't want to be an official!" [I'm very busy! There's a lot of stuff on the moon, and I have to help with poverty alleviation in Madagascar! ]

“It earns foreign exchange!”

Xu Damao's face turned dark. I know the country is short of foreign exchange now, but can't you put it another way?

"I don't feel comfortable leaving it to someone else to manage. You have to be in charge of this factory!"

"And if we earn foreign exchange, we can import supplies, including food, from other countries. This means you are indirectly helping the country!"

Xu Damao thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

Without foreign exchange, you cannot buy things in the international market, because many countries do not support direct exchange of RMB. No wonder the leader is so persistent in setting up a speaker factory.

Thinking about the natural disasters in the past three years, Xu Damao felt that he really could not shirk responsibility for this matter.

We can raise foreign exchange so that the country has foreign exchange to import food to survive the disaster. The more we can raise, the better, and it can be considered a contribution to the country!

Go earn some money! US money!

Xu Damao calmed down and said seriously, "Okay, I will do my best to help the country earn foreign exchange, but I have conditions."

Director Yang was anxious: "Xu Damao, how can you negotiate terms at this time? Isn't this nonsense?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at him and said to the big boss: "1. At least half of the credit for this speaker belongs to Director Li. He has to be the director of the new factory, otherwise I can't handle it. He and I work together and we have a tacit understanding."

Li Huaide was excited. Xu Damao was really nice. He was still thinking about him at this time.

Throughout the whole process, Li Huaide only paid the money, and Xu Damao not only helped him get the second place, but also made him very proud at home. His father-in-law also took a new look at him and was ready to fully support him to get the top position. In addition, he helped to get rid of his biggest rival and gave him a new factory director - his own father was no better than this!

[Why did the thought of “father, please accept my greeting” flash through my mind just now? 】

The big boss looked at the excited Li Huaide. He used to think that this guy had no future, but now it seems that he is really good at management and knowing people!

In such a big factory, he was the only one who took a fancy to Xu Damao, and unconditionally and regardless of cost assisted him in making speakers, and he succeeded!

Doesn't this explain the problem?

Whether he rose to the top through nepotism or was accused of being a gigolo, the most important thing was that he knew people and could get things done!

What the Ministry of Metallurgy needs now is people who can get things done. As for others, no matter how good they talk, if they can't get things done, what's the point?

The big boss nodded: "Okay, no problem, this is what we should do."

"Comrade Li Huaide, it's time to give you more responsibilities. We'll discuss the details later."

"Thank you for the cultivation of the leaders! Thank you Comrade Damao for the recommendation! I will definitely manage the new factory well! I will never hold everyone back!" Li Huaide stood up excitedly and promised immediately.

As for the deputy director position after the merger, my father-in-law is still working hard, but this "sub-factory" that can earn foreign exchange cannot fall into the hands of others! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this will definitely be a treasure trove in the future!

At this time, Director Yang was doubting his life. Who am I? Where am I?

Why does it suddenly have nothing to do with me?

I am the director of the steel rolling mill?

"2. I need my father-in-law to go to Hong Kong to set up a foreign trade company to help register brand technology patents and sell products overseas. I don't trust anyone else."

The big boss shook his head: "That won't work. Your reasons are not sufficient, and we don't have a precedent for this. After all, his identity..."

Xu Damao said bluntly: "If it doesn't work, then I will still contribute the technology. You guys can play with it by yourselves, and I will continue to show my movies. It won't be a loss for me. The country got a world-class technology for free, and you won't lose anything."

The big boss and Director Yang looked at each other, as if considering the feasibility of doing so. Because according to Xu Damao, Li Huaide also participated in the whole process, and he had half the credit. With the design drawings, it seemed that he could control it...

After all, if Xu Damao really didn't want to do it, and the technology had been contributed, it would be unreasonable to force him to do things according to his own ideas.

But Maxim said: "If Comrade Xu Damao doesn't participate, this speaker No. 15 will really become out of print."

The big boss turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

"A good product needs technical iteration and brand promotion packaging, and he is the chief designer. Without him, the product would have no soul."

"Just because you have a design drawing doesn't mean you can develop smoothly. Without a soul, the failure of subsequent products is inevitable, and this brand will also die." Maxim shook his head. He saw things much further than the senior leaders and Director Yang.

Xu Damao gave Maxim a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you see things clearly!"

The big boss frowned, but then asked Xu Damao: "Why must your father-in-law go to Hong Kong to open a company? And why do we need to register patents? We have a commercial department that is specifically responsible for these external sales issues, right?"

Xu Damao then explained seriously: "I believe we can make products, but selling products still requires professional businessmen."

"It's not that I look down on the Ministry of Commerce. They have too many constraints, and their thinking is still a little behind the international ones."

"For example, they can sell a 100-yuan item for 120-150 yuan. I believe it."

"But to sell something worth 100 yuan for yuan or more... they don't have the ability to do that."

Director Yang was shocked: "How is this possible!"

"You all know the description of profits in Capital. If a product's profits are this high... I think it's impossible! I've never seen it!"

He didn't finish what he said, but everyone understood what he meant.

Xu Damao pointed at himself and Maxim and said, "Did you see it today? The profit from my speakers is more than 300%."

“I don’t know what you think of this product.”

"But my positioning is to go directly to the high-end luxury goods route in the early stage, and then occupy the international mid-end and low-end markets at the same time after gaining market awareness."

"Remember, this is a luxury, not a necessity."

The big boss and Director Yang still looked at Xu Damao with suspicion, always feeling that what Xu Damao said was incomprehensible to them.

Xu Damao was not angry, so he asked Maxim: "Comrade Maxim, if you really buy this pair of speakers at the ruble you bid today, and I tell you, its cost price is only 25 yuan, which is 62.5 rubles..."

"Would you be angry?"
