What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 49: Digging people on site
This barrage of questions left Tang Wen speechless. The Gaijin Shipyard was purely a void shipbuilder, which allowed it to keep costs so low. If it really looked for suppliers, wouldn't it be a huge loss?

But if you can't explain it clearly, the bank will definitely not dare to lend money and the order will be lost.

Now even Huang Dongfu's eyes became a little strange, and the situation was getting a little bad.

In order to break the deadlock, Tang Wen could only feign calmness, his mind racing as he began to make up stories:
"I'm afraid you all have a question: why are Gaijin Shipyard's thousand-ton ships so cheap? Actually, the main reason is that we don't purchase steel from the market."

Huang Dongfu and the bank staff were both stunned. The former immediately asked;
"Boss Tang, how can we build a ship without buying steel? You can't make the iron yourself, right?"

"No, we have another cheaper steel source, and the quality is guaranteed."

Tang Wen turned his head to look at the window and pointed at the sea outside the shipyard.

Huang Dongfu was still thinking, but the deputy governor's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Mr. Tang, can you get cheap steel from abroad?"

"Huh? Yes!"

Tang Wen nodded subconsciously. In fact, he hadn't thought about what to say yet, but when he heard this reason, he immediately agreed.

"That's no problem! Domestic steel prices are indeed too high right now."

The deputy president breathed a sigh of relief, leaving Huang Dongfu somewhat confused.

"President Zhang, what do you mean by foreign steel?"

“Hey, you don’t understand:

Since the policy was implemented in 92, development zones have been established all over the country. The newspaper said that there are nearly of them.

There are construction sites everywhere, the price of steel is already over 3,000, and there is no telling when it will end, so it is difficult to buy.

If Boss Tang can get steel from abroad, it will definitely be cheaper than domestically, at least a thousand yuan cheaper."

Huang Dongfu suddenly understood, and Tang Wen nodded slowly.

That's right, that's it.

President Zhang looked at Huang Dongfu and continued:

"Steel, any kind of steel can be used. If that's the case, I can approve the loan. After all, our approval depends on the progress of the ship.

It will take at least three or four months to build this ship, so how about we give you the loan based on a four-month payment?"

Located on the coastal area, President Zhang has seen and experienced a lot and has no objection to engaging in some free trade at sea.

Getting things in shows that you have the ability and talent!

Moreover, in this era, everything is based on economy, so this is nothing.

These millions of orders are still used to develop local manufacturing enterprises, and there is a special quota available.

"Four months is too long. In fact, our shipyard can launch the ship in just over two months."

One month might be too much, and Tang Wen didn't want the money to be delayed for that long, so he shortened the time by half.

"More than two months?"

Both Huang Dongfu and President Zhang were a little surprised. This was a speed that only large shipyards could achieve. However, since Tang Wen dared to say it and the shipyard couldn't run away, he successfully changed the cycle to three months.

The salesperson on the side was quickly revising different contracts. As long as the three parties signed them, the first bank loan and deposit totaling two million would be given to Tang Wen.

The bank wrote the contract quite quickly using the template, but when it was handed over to Tang Wen, he had a headache.

He couldn't understand this thing at all, and there were too many clauses. He didn't want to take the risk of signing it because it involved a large amount of money.

Fortunately, President Zhang said at the right time:

"You can review the contract in a few days and then sign it. Then just stamp it and send it back to the bank."

"and many more."

Tang Wen looked at the salesperson who had no sense of presence. She was a woman in her thirties who looked very smart and had moved very quickly.

"What's your name? What's your education?"

"Uh... My name is Hu Li, and I'm an accountant from a technical secondary school." Hu Li was confused, and then the next second she heard Tang Wen say:
"How much is your current salary? I'll give you double it. How about working at the shipyard?"

"Boss Tang!"

President Zhang interrupted in shock, saying, "He's still here, how can you poach people like this?"
Besides, Hu Li was a talented person who had just been promoted in the branch, so how could he bear to let her go?

"This is our bank's deputy manager. It's not appropriate for you to do this."

Hu Li also seemed a little surprised and waved her hands:

"I'm sorry, Boss Tang, I have no intention of changing jobs."

"One thousand five?"

Tang Wen remembered that the average salary now was probably only a few hundred yuan, and fifteen hundred yuan was considered a high income.

"Excuse me……"

Before Hu Li finished speaking, Tang Wen interrupted her forcefully:

"two thousand?"

"Eight hours a day, two days off... No, four days on, three days off, three months' bonus at the end of the year, and a five-year contract guaranteed."

Hu Li: “…”

"Okay, Dawan Village is a bit out of the way, so we can provide a car to pick you up... or give you 500 yuan per month for travel expenses, a total of 2,500 yuan, okay?"

Seeing Tang Wen constantly adding conditions, Hu Li's breathing became a little rapid.

Fifteen thousand is scary enough. The most she earns including commission is only a little over a thousand, but the basic salary of six or seven hundred yuan is a high salary that others envy.

And they work four days and rest three days? What kind of magical system is this?
There's still 500 for travel expenses?!
If he is rejected again, will Tang Wen give up or continue to increase his bet?

After working in a branch office for more than ten years and finally climbing up to the city, Hu Li originally thought that her career had almost reached its peak, but the sudden opportunity that came her way almost made her faint.

A huge opportunity was right in front of her. Hu Li's breathing quickened. Not daring to look at the vice president next to her, she mustered up the courage to say:
"I, I need to think about it."

President Zhang: ? ? !

No, are you surrendering to the enemy now?
However, Tang Wen was not satisfied with this answer and did not give Hu Li any time to think:

"Move to Dawan Village and I'll give you 5,000 yuan as a resettlement allowance. You have five seconds to make a decision. Five, four..."

"I agree!"

After Hu Li finished speaking, she was almost out of strength, and there was no trace of her former capable spirit.

Tang Wen nodded, seemingly not surprised at all:
"Okay, you are now the financial director of Gaijin Shipyard. Now please check these contracts for loopholes for me and give me a reply before 3 pm, and then you can go home."

"it is good!"

President Zhang and Huang Dongfu watched in amazement as Hu Li stood up, sat on the sofa on Tang Wen's side, and then quickly began to organize the contracts.

She had just modified them, and she was already familiar with the template, so she immediately found many places that could be modified:

"Boss, look, the loan period here can be shortened. A seven-day audit is too long..."

Hu Li knew exactly what the bank could accept and the most favorable terms it could offer. She had just seen that the makeshift team at Gaijin Shipyard had deliberately set many things in a way that was favorable to the bank, and all the risks were placed on the shipyard and the fishing company.

Now, every suggestion for improvement that has been put forward hits the pain points of President Zhang.

The latter has been in the martial arts world for decades and has never seen such an operation. It is really an eye-opener.

Huang Dongfu gave a thumbs up and instantly understood many of the subtleties:

"Brother, that's awesome!"

How much will be lost if the contract is not well-executed, and how much can be spent to poach a person?
Hu Li's annual salary is at most 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but if this business can help her avoid a pitfall, her salary will definitely be more than that.

Originally thought that Tang Wen was young and didn't know how to do business, but he didn't expect that his first move would open his eyes.
