Chapter 713

What else could Gu Jiayan ask, she hurriedly shook her head and went to place the materials and documents.

It was also at this time that Deputy Section Chief Zhou brought people over.

Although it is said that it can be used anytime during the day, it is better to finish the meeting early.

Lu Qiao stood at the door and said: "I'm going to fetch water."

She didn't know if she could listen to this meeting, so it's better to avoid it.

Deputy Section Chief Zhou nodded with satisfaction. She is a person with a sense of measure. She said: "No need to fetch water, we all have water in our tea mugs. You sit down and listen too. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just take it slow."

Lu Qiao looked at Deputy Section Chief Zhou with deep meaning. This person likes everyone to call her Sister Zhou, and doesn't like people to call her Deputy Section Chief Zhou.

But this person's speech is not cute at all.

So Lu Qiao really sat down, sat honestly, and listened to everyone's speeches.

Deputy Section Chief Zhou naturally wouldn't put her attention on Lu Qiao. She began to expound the reason for the meeting today and the problems that needed to be solved.

After speaking, she looked at the main seat: "Section Chief Wei, this is the theme of today's meeting, you speak a few words first..."

Old Wei waved his hand: "I have nothing to say, let's start the discussion."

Old Zhao said first: "We did everything we could. We didn't want such an accident to happen, but since it happened, there is no way. We can only admit it. It can also be considered a painful lesson. I suggest issuing this case to all provinces, cities, and departments, so that everyone can take it as a warning and absolutely never make such mistakes again in the future."

"Yes, we are inexperienced in exports, and it is also because such accidents rarely happened before that we were careless."

"Alas, it's a pity, millions of goods, just disappeared into the sea."

"I heard that the few people who signed the contract are now locked up."

"What's the use of locking them up? Executing them wouldn't be too much. How could they make such a mistake?"

"It's also eager for quick success, otherwise they wouldn't have been taken advantage of."

Someone also questioned: "Was the sinking of the ship intentional? Did the other party want to harm us?"

"The wind and waves at sea are unpredictable, and there are all kinds of accidents. We didn't expect them to be so careless and didn't even consider this factor."

Everyone was discussing there.

No solution was proposed, because this matter is unsolvable.

Old Zhao is right, we can only admit it.

Lu Qiao sorted it out.

It was indeed caused by inexperience.

The cause was that a Su embroidery factory and a tea factory signed an agreement with a big boss in Malaysia to export Su embroidery products and tea products together.

Comrades from the local foreign trade department talked to the big boss in Malaysia again and again. At first, they said that after the other party received the bill of lading we sent and checked that there was no problem, they would pay us.

This rule is relatively safe.

However, the comrades from the local foreign trade department had just started foreign trade, were inexperienced, were eager to make this first business, and did not recognize the huge risks hidden in it. In the end, they signed the contract and agreed to pay upon delivery. And under the other party's rhetoric, they signed: we will ship the goods to you, and after you receive the goods yourself, you will pay us within 60 days.

This is like, you ship the goods to others first, and only after others receive the goods, they will pay you.

If the goods have problems or others play rogue, then it is really money and goods lost.

Now the goods have sunk. Su embroidery and tea are not like other goods. Even if they are salvaged, they are useless.

In the foreign trade of the 1970s, in the absence of an international banking network and a letter of credit system, when encountering exports of handicrafts and food, considering trust and cost, they would generally choose sight payment.

That is, the seller submits the full set of shipping documents to the bank where the buyer is located through the national bank, and then the bank will notify the buyer to pay after receiving them.

The buyer pays the payment and takes the bill of lading to pick up the goods.

If the goods are damaged or lost during transportation, as long as the seller can submit proof (such as the ship company's shipwreck certificate), the bank will not release the documents to the buyer, and the buyer will not be able to pick up the goods.

But in this case, the buyer still needs to pay to redeem the documents, and then the buyer uses the documents to claim from the insurance company.

Unfortunately, the initial contract had problems.

If the goods didn't sink, it would be fine to receive the payment within sixty days according to the contract.

But who could have thought that an accident would happen.

Lu Qiao had no materials in her hand and could only analyze the matter by listening. Just at this time, Section Chief Wei looked at Lu Qiao and handed a stack of paper to her, saying: "Xiao Lu, you also take a look. Exports and imports are really too important, really can't be negligent at all. Otherwise, not only will you lose everything, but it will also lead to a decline in credit. In fact, don't look at us sitting here steadily now, but every time we sign a contract, we don't dare to rest all night, deliberating every word, fearing that a mistake will bring losses to the country..."

Lu Qiao deeply agreed. She is a person who has signed many foreign trade contracts, and she has signed many.

But the buyer is her friend, and she wouldn't pit anyone, and there would even be supplementary explanations.

And whether it is land transport or sea transport, it has always been very smooth.

Lu Qiao didn't look at the specific process, only looked at the accident location. She shouted to the big shark and the others in the space: "You go and see the situation of the shipwreck in this sea area... don't try to be brave, enter the space if you encounter danger."

Although Lu Qiao's space has not been upgraded, it is connected to the little cuties.

Of course, Lu Qiao's body or consciousness must be in the space.

For example, now, Lu Qiao's consciousness is in the space, and she herself is in the conference room for a meeting, and she is still very seriously reading the materials.

Section Chief Wei didn't expect Lu Qiao to say any constructive opinions, because this is already a nailed-down matter, and it is impossible to change. The loss was caused, and no one could save it. This matter fell to the Fifth Division because the two old factory directors of the Su embroidery factory and the tea factory came to Beidu.

Really white hair overnight.

They didn't expect that it should have been a factory-wide celebration, but in the end, they lost everything.

This time can be said to be a huge blow.

Especially Su embroidery, that is the hard work of the masters for more than three years. I thought I could earn foreign exchange for the country and give bonuses to employees, but now it's good, even the workers' wages can't be paid.

They were not dismissed because they didn't sign the contract, but they were also implicated and checked again and again. Work mistakes are one aspect, but the higher-ups also grasp this aspect very strictly, and also want to see if there is collusion inside and outside, deliberately doing so.

Fortunately, the two old factory directors could stand the investigation.

But they were also tossed enough.

Although it is said that this is a painful experience and lesson, it must be learned, and such mistakes must never be made again in the future.

But the two old factory directors knew that they had no chance to make such a mistake a second time.

Not to mention bankruptcy, it's almost the same.
