Chapter 99 Technical Service Fee

The next day.

It was just dawn, Liu Tao opened his eyes and looked at the time. It was only about 6:30.

His mother and sister had already gotten up and were making breakfast. Through the window, he could see that someone was already shoveling snow outside.

The roof was covered with white snow.

He could also see students making snowmen, having a lot of fun.

Liu Ziyu had been reading a book on the side, and he probably read it for a while.

Liu Tao showed satisfaction. Liu Ziyu was very self-disciplined in his studies. Although he would play for a while every day, it was always after finishing his homework.

Learning requires talent, hard work and self-discipline!

The college entrance examination at this time was really a battle of thousands of troops. This year, the number of candidates for the college entrance examination reached 4.69 million, and the number of junior college and undergraduate admissions was 284,000, with an admission rate of only 6.1%.

To stand out from the crowd, talent alone is not enough, but also hard work and self-discipline!

Liu Tao has the ability to arrange Liu Ziyu's life, but he hopes that Liu Ziyu will rely on his own struggle to fight for his own life.

After breakfast, Liu Tao and his parents went to the company.

Instead of looking for Wang Baoguo, they went to Liu Zhenbang's office.

The sign of the foreign trade working group had been hung up, and the staff were all there.

Speaking of which, although Liu Zhenbang's administrative level did not change, his weight was increased, because the foreign trade working group was directly supervised by the leader, and Liu Zhenbang could also go directly to the leader to report his work.

After understanding it, Liu Tao did not ask much about the working group.

He just emphasized that the order must be completed with quality and quantity. For the customer's request to send technicians to provide services, Liu Tao reminded that he could agree, but he had to charge a technical service fee.

At this time, although it had been nearly a year of transformation, it was in a transition period, and everyone's thinking was still on free aid, and there was no concept of technical service fees at all.

Sending technicians to teach technology, teach how to drive tanks, and how to operate weapons, all of which were free in the past.

But now it is different, these also need to be paid.

In this regard, Liu Tao believes that it is necessary to learn from European and American countries and the Soviet Union.

When doing business, it is good enough without any additional conditions, and the fees that should be charged should be charged.

"But how much should the technical service fee be?" Liu Zhenbang listened to Liu Tao's words and showed a thoughtful look.

After all, there is no precedent to follow. Now, as an arms dealer, everyone is in the exploratory stage.

Unlike firearms, cannons and armored vehicles often require technical personnel to teach in order to better master weapons and equipment.

The same is true for missiles, aircraft, and ships.

"For example, you can charge 1% of the tank and cannon contract." Liu Tao suggested, "The more advanced the weapons, the higher the technical fee can be. The technicians who go abroad for technical services should also be given more subsidies appropriately."

"1% technical service fee, is too high? That's five or six million US dollars!" Liu Zhenbang was shocked, "There is no precedent for giving more subsidies, it's not in line with the rules."

Liu Tao curled his lips and said, "Now reform and opening up is crossing the river by feeling the stones. Everyone is exploring. If we follow the rules, what is reform and opening up."

"Our Panshan Machinery Factory has revised the salary system twice." Liu Tao said.

To be honest, he felt helpless. After 30 years of planned economy, reform and opening up, the change of ideas and concepts cannot be completed overnight.

Just like now, there is no individual economy.

Doing business in this era is still a very risky thing.

Doing business now is speculation in the eyes of ordinary people. Having money does not mean safety!

Liu Tao knows that his father Liu Zhenbang is conservative in nature, but for some reasons, he has to stand up and is a reformist.

If Liu Tao was in Liu Zhenbang's position, he would definitely take drastic measures. He would not only complete the delivery of orders, but also take this opportunity to build relationships with customers and further explore the possibility of new orders.

Liu Tao borrowed the phone from the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and made a long-distance call to Wang Tiezhu to report his work. He also contacted Panshan Machinery Factory to learn about the situation of Panshan Machinery Factory.

Nothing happened, so Liu Tao could stay in Beijing for two more days.

In the evening, Liu Tao's family came to Beijing Hotel in new clothes.

The Jingcheng Hotel was first built in 1900, and it has been nearly 80 years since then. After two expansions in 1954 and 1974, the Jingcheng Hotel is undoubtedly the best hotel in Beijing. At this time, there are a lot of people outside the Jingcheng Hotel, and it is very lively.

Liu Tao ordered dishes, drinks and wine first.

The Jingcheng Hotel has high consumption. The main consumer group is usually foreigners, and only they can afford it.

Liu Tao chose the Jingcheng Hotel as the first meeting between the two families because he attaches great importance to it.

Not long after, he saw Zhu Lin's family.

This time, Liu Tao did not call Zhu Lin's parents Teacher Zhu and Teacher Fang, but politely called them uncle and aunt.

When Liu Ziyu saw it, he hurriedly ran in to report, and soon Liu Tao's family came out to the door.

The two families were polite and seemed very harmonious.

Liu Zhenbang and Zhu Xiongxin are almost the same age. After two glasses of Moutai, they have begun to call each other brothers.

Although one is in the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and the other is a teacher in the college, to be honest, the two are in the same system. After all, the Beijing Industrial College is under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Liu Tao's mother kept talking about Liu Tao's past, which made everyone laugh.

Liu Tao couldn't help but twitch his face. There was no way, he was his own mother, so he could only endure it.

"If Linlin comes to our house, we will definitely treat her as our own daughter." Chen Fang was more and more satisfied with Zhu Lin.

Even though they were both women, they couldn't help but feel amazed when they saw Zhu Lin for the first time. They just felt that this woman was like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman who came down to earth.

The more they looked, the more beautiful she was.

Moreover, Zhu Lin had an elegant temperament. At first glance, she was a lady from a noble family. Where can you find such a daughter-in-law?

Zhu Lin blushed slightly, showing shyness.

Liu Tao was happy in his heart. His mother's assist was good.

Liu Zhenbang also said: "After they get married, the house they live in is very close to you, and it is convenient for them to travel."

"Isn't Liu Tao's unit in Yun Province? Does he also have a house in Beijing?" Fang Zhen said in surprise.

Chen Fang smiled and said: "Some time ago, a wealthy family wanted to sell their house to go abroad, so he bought it and spent a full 80,000 US dollars."

Zhu Xiongxin and Fang Zhen were very shocked. They were all shocked by this big deal.

Their family is also a wealthy family. They have tens of thousands of bank deposits, but it is far less than 80,000 US dollars.

Even if they have not tried it, they know how difficult it is to exchange US dollars. It is impossible for ordinary people to exchange US dollars at the bank.

Even if the unit wants to exchange US dollars, it must be strictly examined layer by layer, and only after passing the examination can it be exchanged.
