In episode 12, in order to repay Zhao Lei, Xu Banxia signed a contract at the price of 1000 yuan per ton, even though the price of steel was raised. The actual profit of Xu Banxia was 22.04 million-400x1.5000 =16.04 million, and the quantity of steel products shipped abroad in the second trip was 654.38 million tons, including 3 tons of Xu Banxia. I talked earlier and said it would be 45 yuan next time. At the price of $45/ton, the exchange rate of 3 tons 1997 is 8.345x3wx8.3 =1120.5w. So the money earned for the first time is enough to pay for the second payment.
Xu Banxia is a character in The Wind Blows Pinellia, which is adapted from Anai's novel Not Desperate. It tells the story that people with lofty ideals headed by Xu Banxia are brave, actively exploring and constantly innovating in the tide of reform and opening up.
