Material Empire

The two jokingly made a few jokes, Mo Kongchao put away his smile and said, "Old Zheng, looking at the situation in Gaocun today, I think he is a little determined to win Brother Ceramics Factory, I'm afraid we have to be mentally prepared. If he insists on a joint venture with Brother Ceramics Factory, but Liu Shuo and the others disagree, we will be caught in the middle."

Zheng Zepeng nodded, and said: "Yes, I can see that Chen Yuan and the others are all Gaocun's helpers. The little devil's move is very vicious. Throwing a big cake worth 200 million yuan will kill you all at once. Several department chiefs were mobilized."

Mo Kongchao said: "Of course, with a foreign investment of 200 million US dollars, how many projects like this can there be in China? These companies only have a few directors. I'm afraid I'm sorry. If it can be done, there must be a governor in our province to preside over this matter."

Zheng Zepeng asked: "Old Mo, do you think the little devil will really invest 200 million in Quwu? I don't think so."

Mo Kongchao sneered and said: "Of course not. If they really want to invest 200 million yuan, then we can tie up one piece of pottery and two pottery together, which is not enough for them. How can they still pick and choose. Besides, Our Quwu coal is just like this, a little bit of porcelain clay, and the quality is not very good, unless the Japanese are stupid, they are not worth investing so much money in us."

Those who can reach the level of Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao will not be fools. What Takehiko Takamura did was nothing more than fishing, using a profit to attract you, the real purpose was to defraud him of what he wanted from you. This set of tricks, Chinese local officials are very good at playing games with the central government. Takehiko Takamura is playing this kind of tricks in front of them, isn't he playing big swords in front of Guan Gong's door?

Theoretically speaking, Chen Yuan, Zhao Bowen and other ministries and commission officials should also understand this truth, but firstly, they don’t know about Brother Ceramics Factory, and secondly, they feel that they are well-informed and have an international perspective, so they feel that It is not uncommon for the Japanese to invest 200 million U.S. dollars. Going deeper, it is a kind of political achievement consciousness at work, holding a kind of thinking of "making two poles first if there is no date".

Think about it too, the Japanese went to the ministry and said they wanted to invest 200 million, how would you react? Do you want to drive the other party out as a liar, or wait on him nicely? The former may be a correct approach, but it will not work in officialdom. The latter is an insurance method. As for being deceived in the end, it is a good intention to do something wrong, which will not be held accountable.

It is true that the position determines the vision.

Zheng Zepeng also felt concerned about Mo Kongchao's judgment. Because he has seen through the real intentions of the Japanese, Zheng Zepeng is fully immune to nonsense like 200 million investment. However, it was not Takehiko Takamura who made him feel embarrassed, but Chen Yuan, Zhao Bowen and his party. Several officials from the ministries and commissions came here specially for this matter. If this matter is not handled well in the end, everyone will lose face.

"Old Zheng, I think we should tell the truth to Director Chen and the others." Mo Kongchao suggested, "We see the real purpose of the Japanese, but Director Chen and the others don't know, and they just want to This matter was brought together. If we don’t explain this matter clearly to them, I’m afraid there will be more misunderstandings in the future.”

Zheng Zepeng thought for a while, then shook his head slowly, and said, "What should I say? Gao Cun didn't say what his intentions were at all. The things we know are, to put it bluntly, the result of our own guesses. Take this guesswork Tell Director Chen and the others, if people don't believe it, they will think that we are trying to make something out of it, and in the end we will be more passive."

"This...is the same reason." Mo Kongchao was in a dilemma. "Tomorrow they will inspect these enterprises. If the Japanese propose to form a joint venture with Brother Ceramics Factory, what should we do?"

Zheng Zepeng said: "The person who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell. This matter will eventually fall on Liu Shuo's head. Lao Mo, please work hard, call Liu Shuo over and ask him what he means. If he doesn't want to talk to Japan He is a private entrepreneur, so if he has any ideas, we can't interfere. If he really wants to cooperate with the Japanese, why do we bother to be such a villain? "

"Okay, I'm going to Brother Ceramics Factory now." Mo Kongchao said.

"You go, I'll call the secretary when I go back, and inform him about this matter. This matter is very troublesome, and the opinions of our team must be unified." Zheng Zepeng said.

When Mo Kongchao arrived at the Brothers Ceramics Factory, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, but the meeting room of the Ceramics Factory was still brightly lit. When the city government was holding a banquet, news about Mo Kongchao's dialogue with the Japanese had already spread to the ceramics factory, and Liu Shuo immediately called a meeting of all shareholders in the factory except Qin Hai to discuss specific countermeasures.

"Brother, do you mean that the Japanese are here for our brother's ceramic factory?" a shareholder named Wang Peichao asked Liu Shuo. The shareholders in the factory are all the children of the 13 miners who died that year. Under Sha Renyuan's organization, everyone is called brothers and sisters. Among them, Liu Shuo is the eldest brother, and Wang Peichao is the younger brother.

Liu Shuo nodded and said: "I heard from Director Shu who attended the meeting that at that time Mayor Mo only agreed to take out a few state-owned porcelain factories to form joint ventures with the Japanese, while the Japanese insisted on looking at private porcelain factories. Think about it, Qu There are only a few private porcelain factories in Wushu. Except for our factory, the others are not much better than handicraft workshops. How could the Japanese be interested. If Takehiko Takamura did not come for us this time, I The character Liu can be written backwards."

"You just said that the Japanese plan to invest 200 million in Quwu?" Wang Peichao asked again.

"That's what they said." Liu Shuo said.

Wang Peichao said: "If they really come after us and can come up with 200 million yuan, what's wrong with us selling the factory to them? 200 million U.S. dollars is more than 700 million yuan. We have a total of 20 factories. , the family can get...more than 30 million, right?"

"Ah? A family can get more than 30 million yuan!"

Wang Peichao's words woke everyone up. When listening to Liu Shuo's report on the situation, everyone thought more about keeping their own factory and not allowing the Japanese to pry it away. But when Wang Peichao said this, everyone suddenly recalled it, didn’t they? If the Japanese are willing to spend 200 million US dollars to buy Brother Ceramics Factory, why don’t they sell it?

Indeed, Brother Ceramics makes a ceramic knife that looks like it's selling well. But this did not get the money in hand, who knows if the insurance is not safe. Foreigners are rare on our ceramic knives just because they cannot produce them themselves. But this kind of ceramic knife can be produced even by a small factory like my own. It is not a matter of time before foreigners master this technology. If foreigners can make it themselves, can the knives of Brother Ceramics Factory still be sold?

Besides, the Brother Ceramics Factory is a private enterprise after all. Will the state not interfere with such a large scale? A private company does hundreds of millions of dollars in business a year. Isn't this a sign of capitalism? Even if the current policy does not have any impact on the factory, who knows if it will change in the future.

In short, getting the money in hand is much more reliable than not getting it yet. If, as Wang Peichao calculated, the family can get more than 30 million yuan, then the whole family will not have to work for ten lifetimes, let alone one lifetime. Why not do such a good thing?

"That's right, brother, if the Japanese really want to buy our factory, if it's really not possible, we'll sell it to them." Several people seconded.

"What are you talking about!" Huang Yanling quit, she stared at her eyes: "Why are you so short-sighted! How did Uncle Sha explain to us before he died? He asked us to be of one heart and one mind, no matter how difficult it is. Brother ceramics factory If it continues, the 20 brothers and sisters will always be one family. Do you think you want to sell the money to separate the family?"

Huang Yanling was the eldest of the girls, the eldest among 20 children, and she had quite a bit of authority among the crowd since she was a child. She went to Brazil with Qin Hai to participate in the expo, and was greatly influenced by Qin Hai, and had a deep affection for Brother Ceramics Factory, so when she heard these words of separation, she became furious.

"Sister, you can't say that." Wang Peichao said, "Uncle Sha also wants us to live well and be worthy of our dead father. Now there is such a good opportunity, each family can get more than 30 million for nothing. If Uncle Sha is alive, I'm afraid you will agree with us to do this, right? Besides, if we sell the factory, it doesn't mean that we will divide the family. If you have money, you can go to the countryside to buy a piece of land, and we can also build some villas and live together, isn't it? family?"

"Who said our factory can sell 200 million yuan?" Liu Shuo said coldly, "With our factory's fixed assets, it's not bad if we can sell 5 million yuan. The Japanese are not interested in our factory at all." , but the technical know-how of our factory to produce ceramic knives, this is the key to our factory's ability to make money, and it is also what the Japanese want."

"What's the difference?" Wang Peichao said, "It's the same when we sell the know-how to them."

"Is the technical know-how ours?" Liu Shuo said.

"What do you mean?" Wang Peichao was stunned.

Huang Yanling understood Liu Shuo's words, and she said: "Everyone is thinking about selling things for money, but everyone has forgotten that our factory was originally invested by Director Qin, and all our technology was provided by Director Qin for free. Provided to us. We have made money with these technologies, so we should be satisfied, how can we sell other people's technologies for money?"

"This..." Wang Peichao was dumbfounded, he really didn't realize this problem. Thinking about it carefully, such a small amount of equipment in Brother Ceramics Factory is really not worth 5 million RMB. How could they spend 200 million US dollars to buy it? What people want is definitely the technology of ceramic knives, and this technology really doesn't seem to be something that Brother Ceramics Factory owns.

Liu Shuo said: "Everyone, don't be fooled. Our factory's charter stipulates that Director Qin has the final decision-making power of our factory. Even if we all want to sell the factory, if Director Qin disagrees, we can't sell it. Besides, the technical know-how of ceramic knives is in the hands of director Qin, and even I don’t know the overall situation. The glue we use for making porcelain clay is directly provided by Haijie Company in Pujiang. You can't make ceramic knives."

"Oh, what a pity, we've been making trouble for a long time, and we'll still do the work for that Qin Hai." Wang Peichao muttered.

"Pei Chao, what are you talking about!" Huang Yanling's face turned as black as coal. Wang Peichao's words are considered to be a criticism in the Brothers Ceramics Factory. Without Qin Hai, there would be no Brothers Ceramics Factory at all. Since the establishment of this factory, the life of each family has been greatly improved. The children of every family no longer need to be dangerous miners, but can find a job with high wages and good safety in the ceramic factory. After receiving so many favors from others, he still said that he was doing the work for them. If Qin Hai heard such words, I really don't know what he would think.

"Peichao, don't talk nonsense like this." Liu Shuo frowned, but finally he didn't get angry. He just said something lightly to Wang Peichao, and didn't go into it. Now that the ceramic factory is facing the enemy, it is very taboo to have internal chaos. He gave Huang Yanling a look. Huang Yanling understood what he meant, so she gave Wang Peichao a hard look, and then began to turn to other topics.

"Regarding the matter of selling the factory, everyone should not think about it. First of all, the technology that the Japanese want is not ours. It is the private technology of Director Qin, and we have no right to sell it. Second, the Japanese have always done things Cunning, they said they wanted to invest 200 million yuan, but God knows how much we can actually invest. Our business is in good shape now, as long as we keep doing it, the day of dividends of 10 million yuan is just around the corner, so don’t worry.” Liu Shuo said to everyone.

"We listen to the elder brother." The whole room expressed their opinions unevenly, and even Wang Peichao raised their hands to express their support for Liu Shuo's opinion.

"Now, what we have to do is to unite as one and work together to the outside world. No matter what the Japanese say or do, we 20 brothers and sisters must not be fooled, and we must not leak any information about production. If you let me know who If I sell the technical information in the factory, I will destroy his whole family!" Liu Shuo threatened murderously.

The children of factories and mines have always believed in speaking with their fists. When they were young, Liu Shuo led these 20 brothers and sisters and often fought with other children, which was quite a bad name. At this time, when he said the words of smashing other people's families, no one thought he was scaremongering. It can be said that if anyone really betrayed information to the Japanese, he must be prepared to bear the wrath of Liu Shuo and others.

"Brother, there is no need to order such words, we are not such people." Everyone responded, "Just say it directly, what we should do, everyone will listen to you."

At this time, the secretary of the factory office came in and said to Liu Shuo:

"Director Liu, Mayor Mo is here. Do you want him to come to the conference room or to your office?"
