There was an unlisted courtyard on the outskirts of Tangshan. There were hundreds of people outside the gate. At first, few people knew that this courtyard belonged to the newly established Dafeng Steel External Office. However, with the continuous emergence of imported steel from the Soviet Union, more and more people knew about it.

Several strong security guards were guarding the door until a girl dressed in professional dress walked out. When she saw someone appear, the crowd immediately rushed up. The girl was so scared that she took a step back and found that the security guard had very experienced forming a wall to block the crowd. She was relieved.

"Comrade, I am from the Northern Cable Factory. If we can't buy this batch of steel, our factory will stop production, and more than 3,000 people will drink the northwest wind."

"We are built by the provincial government and have key national projects. If you put them in, we are all fellow villagers, and we have approval documents from our superiors!"

"What's the point of not having money? Give us! We're cashing!"

"Give it to me, give it to me, don't pay attention to those poor guys, we can increase the price! Uh? Who hit me in the head? Get the labor and capitalist--!"

“…”

The cancellation of the dual-track system has brought about inflation for several consecutive years. Wages have increased from dozens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, but workers did not feel happy, and their actual purchasing power has not increased much. However, they still enjoyed the results of reform and opening up.

This is also due to the fact that the reform and opening up have been more than ten years, and the household contract responsibility system and the booming development of township enterprises, there are more and more non-staple food and light industrial products. At least it is not that difficult to eat more meat and buy more pairs of leather shoes.

However, heavy industry has always been a forbidden zone. Not only does it absolutely ban domestic private capital, it is even a lot of obstacles to foreign capital. Heavy industrial products such as metallurgy, machinery, and mineral products are all indispensable raw materials and means of production. There are more and more light industrial products, and there is always a need for sufficient raw materials supply?

As a result, a pair of contradictions formed, heavy industrial products became extremely scarce. Moreover, due to inflation, heavy industrial enterprises suffered large-scale losses. Think about it, the production cycle of heavy industrial enterprises is generally relatively long. After the contract was signed in the first few months, the prices of raw materials during the production period rose sharply. Often, the production rate of heavy industrial enterprises will be reduced by as much as they produce. Therefore, in the end, even the production power of heavy industrial enterprises is not enough.

Of course, there are other reasons, which are not that simple. For example, the investment gap between basic construction and technological transformation projects is serious, which has caused a large amount of arrears of payments to production enterprises and construction enterprises; for example, the company's losses are serious. The company's losses should be closed, but at that time, various reasons cannot be achieved, and production must be produced. If you cannot borrow money, you can only arrears; for example, the product is not marketable or has no sales at all, resulting in a serious backlog of products.

So soon, another stubborn disease was formed - triangular debt!

At that time, the triangular debt was already crazy. Companies were owed to each other and solved it themselves, and the government basically did not interfere. Almost every company held a lot of IOUs and also owed a lot of debts. Most of the energy of sales work was spent on debt collection. At the gates of the company and on the trains, there were debt collection troops everywhere. In order to collect debts, they used eighteen martial arts. That scene...? It was even more exciting than Hollywood blockbusters.

At this time, the entire country has no credit, no one is trustworthy, and if you can, you can delay it, and if you can owe it. Some people use relationships to ask for debts, and some people use relationships to arrest people thousands of miles in order to make debts... also ask local police to arrest people thousands of miles in order to make debts... anyway, local protectionism! No matter whether you owe debts or creditors, you may inexplicably pick up soap.

Later, when the country saw that it was wrong, the public image was too bad, and it was a mess, so it ordered the police to arrest people in another place, and there was also one-size-fits-all economic disputes and not allow the police to intervene. This made...at least he felt a little safe in collecting debts. However, it was not without sequelae, and it was definitely not a waste of the floor. The criminals who often appeared in recent times often made them cunning, pretending to cause economic disputes, which caused the police to be helpless at the beginning. There was no way, and it was a one-size-fits-all! They could only persuade them to go to the court to resolve the issue. But is that useful for those loan sharks?

Of course, the most awesome are those big state-owned enterprises - they will never be undone and will never pay back! No matter whether you play hard or soft, can you play with them? Therefore, when Jing Jian first "stands" to the Education Bureau to look for Wei Yingzhi, he was trained in his previous life by those big state-owned enterprises asking for debts. He was persevering, but he would never bother and cause trouble for scoundrels and not let the person in charge feel any disgusting. Otherwise, those big state-owned enterprises have security departments, even corporate police stations, militias and machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons, would they be afraid of you just a few scoundrels?

So in this context, steel has become extremely in short supply, and steel mills are unwilling to explore their own production capacity (although the dual-track system has been abolished, important means of production such as steel still has price limits. Therefore, they are still produced at a loss, or are still produced in a lot of IOUs), and cannot import in large quantities, resulting in a situation of supply and demand imbalance in the market.

Especially the import problem. At that time, ordinary enterprises had no import and export rights and needed to unified import and export through national professional foreign trade companies. How could the country use precious foreign exchange for most things like steel that could be produced by themselves?

Therefore, if you want to obtain unplanned steel, that is, buy steel from the market, there are only two ways in this era: one is to get the package bill through people with energy; the other is to buy those with batch bills from the black market at a high price.

Unexpectedly, an exception like Dafeng Steel suddenly appeared in Tangshan. Dafeng Steel is a three-invested enterprise and has its own import and export rights. If other three-invested enterprises want to import steel, unless they are for their own use, other countries will not approve it. If you have foreign exchange in your domestic bank, the bank will not give you money to foreign countries. Even if you have three heads and six arms, there is nothing to do. If you don’t give money to foreign steel mills, they won’t be crazy to export to China, right?

But Dafeng Steel is different. The steels it imported do not need to remit foreign exchange from China first. Of course, this large export quota will definitely be used in the future to export domestic goods. In other words, from the perspective of domestic supervision, it is to arrive first and then pay.
