Chapter 806 Project Start
Here, Johnson Lin had already formed a negotiating team, and he also hired an asset analysis agency from the United States to conduct asset appraisals for the three major factories.
Half a month later, Lin Johnson once again sat opposite Wu Zongxiang, the director of the steam turbine factory, Chi Jianfu, the director of the boiler factory, and others.
Wu Zongxiang looked around everyone, finally looked at Lin Qiangsheng, and said with a sigh: "Boy Lin, I remember that when your father and the others were preparing for Binqi, our factories did a lot of efforts. Why are you revenge now?"
Lin Johnson smiled slightly and said, "Director Wu, after our cooperation, we can help the company go further. I also have a comprehensive development plan in my mind. In the future, our products will not only occupy the commanding heights in the domestic market, but also go out of China, sell the products internationally, and become an internationally renowned brand!"
"Well said, it takes this courage to develop a company!" Director Lu Dong walked in.
He looked at Wu Zongxiang and others and said, "The country has made electromechanical products the focus of our next development! For a long time, my country's export products have always been cheap goods such as raw materials and primary processing products. We have paid valuable resources that are not renewable and exchanged for advanced electromechanical equipment from abroad. One set of equipment can be sold for millions of dollars. How many raw materials and primary processing products do we need to make this money back!"
Lu Dong said heavily: "Big China cannot rely solely on low-tech cheap products. China's electromechanical technology must be developed and become stronger and bigger, otherwise it will be difficult for our country to sustain!"
Wu Zongxiang and others also nodded. They also understood the importance of electromechanical products. Heavy industrial enterprises like them dominate especially and must develop China's large electrical equipment. The tasks of several large state-owned enterprises are also very arduous. They also understand their importance in the industry!
Lu Dong looked at Wu Zongxiang and others and solemnly announced: "The Central State Council has approved the cooperation between Bin Steam Turbine Factory, Motor Factory, Boiler Factory, and Dongxing Group. Now I will negotiate with you on behalf of China and foreign investors. I hope everyone understands and understands their responsibilities!"
Wu Zongxiang and others looked at each other and whispered for a while. When they saw that their superiors had already come down to give instructions, they muttered a few more times and had no objections. They also understood that the next step was to discuss a better plan with Dongxing for the sake of their own company's interests.
Chi Jianfu kept looking at Lin Johnson and his subordinates. The person sitting in his deputy was Tian Jianpeng, who was also very familiar with this young man in his 30s.
This is a person who resigned from a state-owned enterprise and applied for a job as a labor force in Dongxing Group. He became the general manager of a large enterprise at such a young age, which made Chi Jianfu feel a little moved.
He himself was the factory manager who took over tens of thousands of people at a young age and knew what kind of ability and courage it required to manage a large enterprise. So Chi Jianfu did not underestimate Tian Jianpeng at all, but respected him very much, and hoped to learn something from this young man.
Chi Jianfu also saw other foreigners sitting opposite each other, which felt very interesting. The foreigners who were arrogant in the past actually worked for Chinese people. This situation is definitely very rare. These people are said to be Dongxing Company from the United States. Chi Jianfu heard that Dongxing's company in the United States is also of great scale. He didn't know how Lin Johnson did it. In short, this young man made him feel very different.
Lu Dong first set the tone. The three major state-owned enterprises will separate some of their assets and jointly establish an electrical group with Dongxing, with 50% of the shares of both parties each!
Seeing that Wu Zongxiang and others did not show any strange expressions, Lin Qiangsheng realized that they had reached a tacit understanding before. It was probably the plan brought back by Lu Dong from the upper level and it was unchangeable.
He asked in surprise and suspicion: "Director Lu, what I proposed to completely acquire three companies. Doing this will cause difficulties in the operation of the Electric Group!"
On the formal occasion, Lu Dong changed his name and said, "Mr. Lin, the three major factories are currently undertaking some key national projects! Our idea is to separate this part of the assets from the main enterprises, so that it will not involve national key projects, which is also beneficial!"
He particularly emphasized his tone in a few words. Lin Johnson naturally understood that the so-called key projects may be national defense secrets or military projects.
He nodded and said helplessly: "Okay, but I also add a requirement that the three major factories must separate government and enterprises, and at least the assets of the joint venture with Dongxing must be separated from government and enterprises! This is beneficial to the development of enterprises. The government must reduce administrative intervention in enterprises, which is also the general trend of state-owned enterprise reform!"
Lu Dong and the three factory directors discussed with each other, nodded to Lin Johnson and said, "Yes, but we requested that the SASAC be added to the board of directors!"
"Hiss!" Lin Qiangsheng thought to have a toothache and said intimately: "It's so troublesome to cooperate with large state-owned enterprises in China. He filled in a SASAC, and his control over the enterprises was reduced by another level."
He nodded and said, "Okay, but Dongxing's 50% stake cannot be changed!"
Chi Jianfu, who had been silent all the time, said at this time: "You must promise to invest US$300 million in the Electric Group in the next five years, and this clause must be written into the contract!"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "This is OK!"
He suddenly smiled at Lu Dong and said, "I think I can talk to the leaders of the central bank in foreign exchange. The exchange rate for private transactions in China is 1:10 now. China's official exchange rate is too low, so I can't bear it!"
Everyone laughed, and Lu Dong smiled slightly and said, "It's easy to say. Let's confirm the $300 million contract first!"
The next step for both sides was to bargain. Tian Jianpeng was responsible for Dongxing's negotiation team, while the three major factories were responsible for the factory directors of three companies.
When Lu Donghe's inspection team returned to Beijing, Lin Qiang-sheng said to him with concern when he was sending the plane: "Director Lu, I'm worried that the three companies will not be positive after you leave! What if they delay the negotiation?"
Lu Dong was also worried about this issue. Wu Zongxiang from the steam turbine factory was the one he was most worried about. This old comrade has always had opinions on joint ventures with foreign investors. He was stubborn and could really give up.
He said to Lin Johnson: "After I go back, I will continue to urge this matter, and you must also strive to establish an electrical group as soon as possible!"
Lu Dong had made up his mind to make this happen at the end of his term, that is, within one year. He must not talk to the Germans for four or five years like SAIC!
He also instructed Lin Johnson and said, "You can contact foreign electrical groups first. We will take a two-pronged approach and start construction and production immediately after forming the group!"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "I understand this. We will contact international electrical giants for cooperation as soon as possible!"
After sending Lu Dong onto the plane, Lin Johnson returned to Dongxing. While supervising the progress of the project, he worked with automotive engineering designers to study how to assemble various systems into the two cars, Legend and Integra.
A few days later, Lin Johnson saw his mother away again. Xu Hongmei led the medical expert group in the provincial capital to board the plane with great enthusiasm. She was very happy this time. She participated in the introduction of important medical equipment for the first time and felt that the responsibility on her shoulders was also very important.
Lin Johnson and Chen Yao both arrived at the airport to see him off. Seeing his mother and a group of old experts dragging large boxes into the passage, Chen Yao smiled and said, "Johnson, why are they carrying so many empty boxes!"
"Of course I went abroad to buy things. It's not easy to go abroad once. These people must have taken out all the coffin books to buy foreign products!" said Lin Johnson.
Chen Yao smiled giggled and said silly: "It's great. Mom has nothing to lack, so she doesn't need to be so tired!"
Lin Qiangsheng pinched her face and said, "Little fool, what's the point? Buying foreign products means we can't produce them. This is backward, alas!"
He shook his head regretfully and said, "This is the case with the reform and opening up just now, but it is still the case after decades!"
"It's really disappointing, disappointing!" Lin Johnson sang a few words in a strange tone.
Chen Yao was amused when she watched her husband play with her. The beauty giggled, which attracted the attention of many people in the waiting hall.
Lin Qiangsheng hugged his wife and ignored others at all. While leaving the waiting hall, he asked Chen Yao: "When will your performance be gone, right?"
Chen Yao nodded and pouted, saying, "Yes, I'm going to Huangdong this time, it's so far!"
Lin Johnson scraped Chen Yao's nose and said, "Publicize your singing and dancing troupe well and strive to let the people over there understand Bincheng's ballet and modern dance!"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Thank you, husband, you designed the creative dance "Wind". It feels good. After we performed, another province immediately contacted the singing and dance troupe and invited us to perform!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled. In fact, he remembered "Wind" when he watched Jin X's dance in his previous life. He took it directly and asked Chen Yao to choreograph it. The effect was good.
This dance has a feature. It uses 20 large fans distributed around the actors to blow the veil on the actors upwards, and adds the stage background to create a beautiful and illusory effect. The veil flutters upwards, just like the real display of the wind. The effect after the performance was amazing, and the audience on the scene was shocked and cannot be forgotten for a long time.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said modestly: "It's better for Chen Yao, you dance!"
Chen Yao shook her head seriously and said, "No, my husband is still a genius, it's your creativity!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
A couple bragging each other, laughing and happy expressions beyond words. (To be continued.)
