313 A little bit of foreign flavor
313 Dip some foreign flavor
As soon as Wang Xurui said that, Ma Shengfan and Lin Zhenhua were both stunned. With the same conditions, they could also be acquired in US dollars. What else did Wang Xurui want?
Wang Xurui was very unhappy when he looked at these two people, and felt a little regretful. However, he also knew that if he didn't do Tongma Shengfan's job, the joint venture between Luzhong Machine Tool Factory was also a bit troublesome, so he had to calm down and explain to the two of them in a tempting manner:
"Director Ma, General Manager Lin, I just said that the government's perspective of considering problems is different from your company. What the government needs to consider is the overall situation. The overall situation is not the gains and losses of a company. Let me tell you a story. In ancient times, there was a king who liked Qianlima, so he sent someone to buy it. As a result, after the horse buyer arrived at the place, he saw that Qianlima had died..."
"Uh, I have heard of this story, so he spent a lot of money to buy horse bones back. Is it this story?" Lin Zhenhua interrupted Wang Xurui's hum and taught that he was here to acquire the company, not to take the ideological and political class in elementary school.
Wang Xurui was stunned for a moment, and was a little unhappy about his discourse being interrupted by Lin Zhenhua. He remembered that when he told this story at the city's standing committee, he was admired by everyone. So many city leaders had never heard of this story. When he said it, he had some feeling of enlightenment. The young manager in front of him had extraordinary knowledge and had heard such a complicated story.
"Since General Manager Lin knows this story, I think I don't need to explain it, right?" Wang Xurui said reservedly.
Ma Shengfan didn't know what it means to buy horse bones with a daughter, but he was too lazy to listen to Wang Xurui's explanation, but turned his face to Lin Zhenhua, meaning that he wanted to hear his opinion. Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and said, "I'll tell me what I understand, it's not necessarily true. Mayor Wang's meaning is that this factory that is going to join the joint venture with Luji is a worthless horse bone. And we have to take a thousand taels of gold to beg others to join us, so that international investors feel that we are thirsty for money, so they will hold horse bones to exchange for our gold. Is that what it means?"
"Yes..." Wang Xurui was about to say that it was, but as Lin Zhenhua said it less and less, the words became less and less said. He thought about Lin Zhenhua seriously and said with some annoyance: "General Manager Lin, your explanation is too distorted in our city's meaning. What we mean is to use a typical example like Luji to establish the banner of attracting investment, so as to attract more foreign investors to come and invest. As for the gains and losses of this transaction, even if we pay the tuition fee, this is necessary."
"Take us as tuition!" Ma Shengfan understood this time, and he immediately exploded: "Mayor Wang, you use our Lu Machine as tuition. Have you asked us if there are more than 1,000 cadres and staff of Lu Machine? Our Lu Machine is a national key equipment manufacturing enterprise. Who gave you the power to use us as tuition?"
Although Wang Xurui is a deputy mayor, in Ma Shengfan's eyes, he really doesn't treat him as an onion. Besides, even if he is really a onion, our Shandong men love to eat the most is your onion. National key enterprises like the Luzhong Machine Tool Factory are always in contact with major national ministries and commissions. If they really make a fuss, Ma Shengfan will not suffer any losses.
"Director Ma, you misunderstood." Wang Xurui glared at Lin Zhenhua, and quickly turned his head to appease Ma Shengfan, "The tuition fee is a slut, a slut. The city's consideration is to establish a typical example of Sino-foreign joint ventures, and General Manager Lin is still domestic capital after all. What the city needs is not US dollars, but to open up a Sino-foreign joint venture. Do you understand?"
"What kind of domestic and foreign capital? If my Lu Ji is not in trouble, are you planning to force us to sell us?" Ma Shengfan said rudely.
Lin Zhenhua calmed down and began to think about Wang Xurui's words. He had to admit that Wang Xurui's ideas were in line with the current social background. If there were not many Sino-foreign joint ventures in a city, it would give people the feeling that it was rustic and not touched with foreign flavor.
For example, Hanhua Heavy Industry has developed so well in Xunyang, but what Xunyang Municipal Government is most interested in is the Sino-German joint venture they and Qiao Hai. In the promotional materials of Xunyang City, Hanhua Heavy Industry has a lot of space for the Sino-German joint venture Qiao's metal recycling company, which is not as follows. Why? Isn't it because the words Sino-German joint venture have a foreign flavor?
Don’t blame Wang Xurui for admiring foreign countries. This is actually determined by the background of the era. If you have a Sino-foreign joint venture in this place, you can attract subsequent investors. If you don’t have the first one, then other companies will not dare to spend money. After all, wealthy domestic enterprises like Hanhua Heavy Industry are a minority. In the early stages of China’s reform and opening up, introducing foreign investment was an important step. Cities like Luzhong City with low economic development level are completely understandable for attracting investment.
"Old Ma, don't be impulsive." Lin Zhenhua thought of this and couldn't help but reach out and hold Ma Shengfan who was furious, and then said to Wang Xurui: "Mayor Wang, I understand what you mean, and I also understand the city government's considerations very much. I would like to ask more questions, if another foreign-invested enterprise comes to join the joint venture with the Luzhong Machine Tool Factory, will the city government support it?"
Wang Xurui nodded and said, "It's good that General Manager Lin can understand. What do you mean by another foreign-funded enterprise?"
Lin Zhenhua said: "Mayor Wang, because of business, we, Hanhua Heavy Industry, have more partners abroad. If we can find another foreign-funded enterprise for Luji, the conditions offered are better than the current Japanese businessman, can the municipal government consider it?"
"This should be OK." Wang Xurui said cautiously. He did not say too much because he still didn't understand what Lin Zhenhua meant.
Lin Zhenhua then asked, "For example, is it a Hong Kong-funded enterprise?"
The first thing Lin Zhenhua could think of was naturally that Hong Kong lawyer Qian Yuanping asked him to build a small business in Hong Kong and directly put the Luzhong Machine Tool Factory over. It should not be difficult.
"Hong Kong capital..." Wang Xurui said in a long voice, "We already have a Hong Kong capital enterprise. Hong Kong is more Chinese territory, so this is not convincing enough."
"Foreign capital? There is, Myanmar is considered a foreign country?" Lin Zhenhua had a sudden inspiration and remembered Lan Wufeng. In order to deceive the truth, he asked Lan Wufeng to register a "Fenglin Chemical Equipment Company" in Myanmar. Now, it should be no big problem to use the shell of this company.
"Myanmar..." Wang Xurui dragged his voice again. He did not explain further, but Ma Shengfan and Lin Zhenhua could hear it. He was still not satisfied. They are both Sino-US joint ventures, Sino-Japanese joint ventures, and Sino-German joint ventures. At the worst, it is also Sino-Australia joint ventures. If you set up a Sino-Myanmar joint venture, how can you have the right to say hello to others when you go out? What is the foreign flavor in Myanmar?
Lin Zhenhua sighed, today was an eye-opener. Wang Xurui was indeed not popular, but his ideas were very representative. Lin Zhenhua got a lot of inspiration from him.
The old saying goes, it makes sense to pull the tiger's skin to make a big banner. Who would convince me if you make a few rabbit's skin and sew the flag? I have been working on technology and production over the years, but I have ignored the show and create momentum. This is a serious mistake. Hanhua Heavy Industry has developed to this point today, and it is time to need a tiger's skin.
"I understand, Mayor Wang, don't worry, give me two months to help our Luji bring an American company to join the joint venture. What do you think?" Lin Zhenhua said with his chest patted.
"Be serious?" Wang Xurui looked at Lin Zhenhua with disbelief. Spending more than 2 million US dollars to conduct a joint venture is not a small amount. Luzhong City has also spent a lot of effort to find the Japanese business that he is interested in now. Lin Zhenhua can just talk about it and get an American company. Isn't this a bragging thing?
Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and gave an answer. It would be meaningless to talk further. Wang Xurui reluctantly agreed and gave Lin Zhenhua two months. If he could not find an American company or another developed country company to invest, then the Luzhong Machine Tool Factory would have a joint venture with the Japanese business.
Wang Xurui's promise made sense, because negotiations with Japanese businessmen are still in progress and involve the issue of employee resettlement. There are still some different opinions among the city leaders, and it will take one or two months to coordinate these opinions.
When Lin Zhenhua and Ma Shengfan left the city government, Lin Zhenhua felt relieved, but Ma Shengfan looked depressed. Walking outside the city government, Ma Shengfan asked Lin Zhenhua impatiently: "Xiaolin, what do you mean? You don't plan to cooperate with us anymore?"
"Who said that?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.
"Didn't you say you want to find an American company to cooperate with? What's the difference between finding an American company and finding a *** company? You're selling our factory." Ma Shengfan said.
Lin Zhenhua whispered: "Director Ma, don't worry. I promised Wang Xurui's company is actually our American company of Hanhua Heavy Industry. Isn't it the same thing if I go abroad and turn a corner and come back to cooperate with you, so that he can be named a Sino-US joint venture?"
Ma Shengfan then realized it. He asked in surprise: "You Hanhua Heavy Industry has an American company?"
"Not yet," Lin Zhenhua admitted, "but it will be there soon. Isn't it just registering an American company? I just want to find a lawyer and pay a few hundred dollars. I can get a business license within a week."
"Xiaolin, I really admire you. No wonder you Hanhua Heavy Industry is doing so well. You have too many tricks. No, no, in the future, we Luji cooperate with you, so I have to be more careful and don't let you sell us." Ma Shengfan said jokingly.
Lin Zhenhua laughed and said, "Don't worry, after the joint venture, Lu Ji and our Hanhua Heavy Industry will be one of our own companies. How can we sell our own people? Director Ma, just wait steadily. By the way, you have to stay in the past two months. Don't let the king's name sell you."
