Chapter 450 The first time facing a foreign company
"You two, the autonomous region will be left to you. These two are here to implement the subsequent construction projects on my behalf. If you have anything to do, please discuss it more. Also, that group of people We must hurry up to help them settle down and help them settle their families. These people must hurry up and gather at the grassroots level to form a fighting force as soon as possible. If the other party dares to move, we will give them a level of ruthlessness according to our plan.”
Not here. After staying in the autonomous region for a long time, Zhu Xuefeng hurried to Xiangjiang after picking up Lin Na and the two of them to visit several projects together.
"This dead man, really, he has only been with us for three days."
Xia Yuhong was a little unhappy watching the helicopter send Zhu Xuefeng away, Lin Na smiled and enlightened.
"It's not like you don't know that the two banks in Xiangjiang have been put on hold for more than a month. If he doesn't go back, Wu Qianqian won't be able to stand it."
"Forget it, come on. Come on, let’s work hard. Who told us to choose this? Let’s go back to work.”
“That’s right. You don’t see Yanzi being busy. "I'm not idle."
In the study in Tamsui Bay, Xiangjiang, Wu Qianqian is reporting on the situation in Xiangjiang in the past six months.
There are too many industries involved now, and Zhu Xuefeng also has a headache. He feels that he is just trying to get everything he wants. Indeed, now is the beginning of the rapid development of Hong Kong. Every industry is full of hope. Some of them are unintentional. Any idea can bring good returns.
Unfortunately, there are too few people available now. We should consider the industrial management framework and long-term layout. People's energy is limited. After all, Dongsheng Company has been established for only fourteen months, and there are too few available talents.
Currently, it has been involved in clothing, electronics, real estate, motor vehicle manufacturing, food processing (vegetable and wild vegetable processing), foreign trade (sales and resale of all products, Guoming wood and wild vegetables, and some minerals), and more to come. Involved in hotels, shipbuilding, shipping and aviation.
But these cannot be given up. Food, clothing, housing and transportation must also be taken into consideration to help Guoming develop. It is impossible not to develop in an all-round way.
Zhu Xuefeng, who had no clue, put down his obsession and saw that Wu Qianqian was still looking at him.
"Well, we have done well. Compared with the second half of last year, we have taken a big step forward. Don't worry about the problems you mentioned. Since I am here, we have to get it no matter what. Come up with a plan.”
The two banks have been dragged by Wu Qianqian and are very impatient. Now they still need to cooperate in the subsequent plans before they fall out.
A new model of radio has been released, which can barely cope with the competition from Sony. However, the net profit has dropped by 30%. The price of components in Europe is much higher than that of Fuso.
"How did China respond? When will replacement products be provided?"
"The appointment was for one year, but now it has been more than a month, and most of it has been completed. There are still two or three types of experiments that are being carried out. It is expected to be two months late. The other party has sent a progress note in advance. Some research is not going very well and has been delayed a little."
"Just pay attention to this. There are too many uncertain factors in research, and it is impossible to fully meet our needs. As long as the parameters are up to standard, we will use it and launch new models.”
Wu Qianqian seemed a little embarrassed, "But the cost estimates they sent were not very optimistic. Some of them are more expensive than buying from Europe. We really have to choose..."
Knowing that Wu Qianqian was worried about cost, Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to enlighten.
“At the beginning of production, the cost will definitely not come down, and there will be no scale effect. Let’s use it first. We will negotiate with the domestic market again and give them some profits so that they can continue to develop, improve again, and enter a healthy state. Only by recycling can we reduce costs. "
"We need to maintain our price advantage externally. If procurement costs increase again, profits will drop again. It is likely that we can only maintain capital or lose money. Does this make sense? Industry? "
Wu Qianqian is still very worried. She used to make a lot of money, but Sony has turned her into what she is now. She can still persist, but if she switches to a domestic one, it is really unreliable.
"Loss of money is not a problem. If you purchase from domestic, the logistics cost will be much lower. Besides, aren't you asked to negotiate? We must make them realize that the cost must be reduced. It was agreed at that time that the settlement would be based on international prices. Yes, now that we are willing to give in, they still have to work hard towards this goal. You can only come forward to say this."
Seeing the man's insistence, Wu Qianqian had no choice but to compromise.
"Well, I still have to be the villain, so it's easier for you to hide behind."
Zhu Xuefeng pulled the beauty into his arms and comforted her, "There is nothing I can do. If I can work hard, I will think of ways to make the product more beautiful and more effective in terms of appearance and performance. In this way, our price will be higher than the other party's, and I believe the market will accept it."
" By the way, you said that 4,500 vehicles were assembled in June and he didn’t keep any of them for himself this time?”
Wu Qianqian breathlessly replied, "Well, last time he sold it by himself and got into trouble. Someone came to his door to refund the money. As a result, he spent a lot of money and couldn't pay it back. He was beaten up and was given the money on the third day. Someone will make up for it.”
It turned out that Li Huaide took the money and was very happy. He took it to a bar and was stabbed. It was said that he spent more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, he had no money to return to him. .
Later, I quickly found the workers sent by the steel rolling mill. On the pretext that the factory needed foreign exchange, I exchanged a lot of Hong Kong dollars from the workers to fill the hole.
The employees dispatched by the steel rolling mill to Xiangjiang are paid in Hong Kong dollars, and there is also a monthly living allowance of 60 Hong Kong dollars. Over the past few months, everyone has saved a lot, and those with a high level like Master Lu, There was no place to spend money, so they had saved a small amount of two thousand. When they heard that the country needed foreign exchange, they were willing to exchange it with Li Huaide. That is to say, Li Huaide did not bring too much money, otherwise a dozen people could have raised more than twenty thousand for him. Hong Kong dollars.
“This man has a very good brain, he can think of such a method, so since 500 vehicles were returned last month, he still hasn’t delivered them?”
"No, he wanted to sell it by sea to Southeast Asia. He had no way and no working capital. In the end, it failed. As a result, he secretly sold a lot at a price lower than the market price. The rest is probably waiting to be sold slowly. As long as these people can get it cheap, it doesn't matter if they don't have a license plate. "
Sales like this secretly are illegal in Xiangjiang. Sales by Dongsheng Company are subject to tax. If this kind of car runs on the road, sooner or later something will happen.
"Don't worry about him, let him do it. Xiangjiang is so big, how many people are willing to risk this little money? You will regret it when the vehicle is confiscated by the police."
Meet the man Unexpectedly, she didn't take it to heart. Wu Qianqian quickly raised her head, her face flushed, and she was reminded anxiously.
“However, if he is found, we will also be involved. This factory is under the name of our company. If we investigate more carefully, his identity will be known to the Hong Kong government.
It is legal to engage in activities in Hong Kong with official mainland documents, and the Hong Kong government will not care about it, but it is definitely not okay to build a factory secretly for export.
Hong Kong maintains a tacit understanding with the mainland in exchange for special trains of supplies (grain, vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat, etc.) that run every three days, as well as fresh water resources in Guangdong Province.
Zhu Xuefeng's hands were exploring up and down, seemingly indifferent to Wu Qianqian's worries.
"Then let Inspector Liang come forward to investigate first, take control of the matter in his own hands, and let him have a long memory. When someone takes action here, he will send the situation to the north. By the way, he I went to the bar, do you have any photos? ""There are a few, they're not clear, the lighting is too bad."
"Forget it, just make a quick note and don't hand over the photos, so as not to let others know. I feel like we have been staring at him.”
Li Huaide was happily teasing his little secretary in the office. In May, he made a mistake and made a hole. Later, he adjusted his direction and it lasted more than a month. After that, I actually sold 200 small cars. Although it was a lot cheaper, I still earned more than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. On average, it is more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a month. Not only did I make up for the hole, I am still very rich. The little secretary also became more considerate.
Earning more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, Li Huaide no longer misses the capital, and Lao Yang has been forgotten by him. He has forgotten the original intention of coming to Hong Kong. This colorful world really doesn't need to be too beautiful, as long as you have money... .
"Manager, I have your letter." There was movement outside the door.
Li Huaide patted the little secretary on the butt. The little secretary got up, straightened his clothes, and opened the door.
"Give it to me."
The letter came from the north, and my father-in-law got his wish. The letter asked how the work here is going, whether it is difficult to open up the situation, and why there has been no follow-up report for two months..."
Li Huaide sat upright with excitement, and once again remembered his instructions before leaving, "Xiaoli, you go out first, I have something to be busy with, and I will arrange it until the afternoon for anyone who comes. ”
Li Huaide walked back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back, thinking carefully, and carefully sorted out the two months he had been in Xiangjiang. With an idea, he returned to his desk to pick up a pen...
Peninsula At the hotel, a long-awaited negotiation was underway, and the two eager foreign companies sent their top managers.
"Miss Wu, this must be your boss, Mr. Zhu. He is really famous. It is better to meet each other and admire each other for a long time. "
The two senior managers were very angry, but they still stood up to greet them in a literate manner. Wu Qianqian answered with a smile.
"The two senior managers have been waiting for a long time. This is our boss, and he just arrived yesterday. Return to Xiangjiang. "
The two senior managers had no choice but to smile and greet each other, "Thank you, Boss Zhu. You are young and promising. This is the first time we have met." "
"I'm sorry, I have a lot of things to do outside. I entrust Miss Wu here to keep you two waiting. I'm sorry. ”
Zhu Xuefeng was not too enthusiastic and greeted him very formally. They sat down separately and the waiter quickly brought various snacks. Yes, the four of them had made an appointment for afternoon tea.
The two senior managers suppressed their complaints and quickly got to the point. Zhu Xuefeng tasted slowly while listening carefully to the demands of the two families.
This situation is very common in Xiangjiang. Don’t think that foreign banks only do some business in the financial field. They come all the way to the east just to make money. All walks of life in Xiangjiang are indispensable for making money. Those who make money quickly The industry is basically in their hands.
As for the exclusive agent, it depends on you, Xiangjiang comprador, which refers to the capitalists in Xiangjiang during this period. Xiangjiang is still their world now, which is where Dongsheng Company’s super profitability lies. , a company that can earn tens of millions of dollars a year is the only one in Hong Kong, so the two of them endured the wait for more than a month.
“The two of you have been talking about it, isn’t it just a little cooperation to make money? If you have some minor differences, just let’s talk about it. In business, cooperation is my favorite. Only by sharing resources can we achieve the greatest results. As a result, the cake is getting bigger and everyone benefits.”
Seeing Zhu Xuefeng’s tone, the two of them were overjoyed. This is right. It would be unwise to go head-to-head with the two banks. The young man also Considered sensible.
"Miss Wu, you have to learn from your boss, look..."
Wu Qianqian said with a smile, "Otherwise, why is the boss the boss, but I only I can be a part-time worker, so don’t laugh at me, the two managers.”
The faces of Henry and Yuri’s managers were a little ugly, and they were part-time workers themselves. When Zhu Xuefeng saw their expressions change, he took his food in a hurry. A shrimp dumpling, wiped his mouth, and put down the tableware.
“This tastes good, but it’s a bit too small for your appetite.”
The two people who had already put down their tableware were stunned, not quite understanding what Zhu Xuefeng was referring to.
“How much profit can be gained from focusing on the down jacket project? This thing has low technical content. After the patent protection period, I guarantee that other brands will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and agents will not be able to make money by then. "
"Arctic Man" has successfully applied for patents in many countries in North America and Western Europe through this lawsuit. Unfortunately, it is not an invention patent. Generally, the protection period is only five years, and you can apply for an extension after five years. If successful, it will be extended for another three years. However, since there are too many countries involved, success is unlikely. There is no international patent organization at this time.
"Five years is not a short time. It is enough for the three of us to make money. Mr. Zhu, we don’t want much. Let others earn it after five years. We can’t make all the money, right? We have to give "I left the soup in my mouth."
Henry thought Zhu Xuefeng was relieved and was very casual.
“Actually, I invited two of you here to talk about a big deal. This can only earn you a few years, so it’s just an appetizer. Let’s put it aside for now and let’s hear about our company’s big projects. After listening, we both You can then decide whether to participate.”
“Oh, Mr. Zhu, we are very interested in it.”
“Actually, This project is right in front of you. You all know it, but you just don’t pay much attention to it.”
The two supervisors were interested, took a sip of soup, and listened quietly.
“It’s aviation. We are planning to establish an airline. Both of you know that. If you are interested, I can leave 10% of the shares to both companies. This is a rare opportunity. This is a sunrise industry and we can continue to operate it. Nowadays, the aviation industry is developing rapidly. It’s impossible for you two to be unaware of this.”
The aviation industry is indeed a sunrise industry, but is it only 10%? The two senior managers didn't pay much attention. Zhu Xuefeng saw their expressions and said with a smile.
"Don't underestimate this 10% share. When you know our plan, you will know that this 10% is quite a lot."
Since the end of World War II, this air transport has The momentum of development is unstoppable and unstoppable. The demand for freight and passenger transportation is rising rapidly. It is definitely a profitable business.
However, the investment in this industry is large and the risks are far greater than that of shipping. A plane crash may put a fledgling airline into trouble. Aircraft and compensation can make a company without strong capital collapse overnight.
“Mr. Zhu, we know that your company is preparing to enter the aviation field. Your company has submitted loan applications to both of us. We also support your company in developing aviation business. However, Xiangjiang now has Cathay Pacific Airways. We are also curious about how you will face the competition from Cathay Pacific.”
