Material Empire

Mo Kongchao's words seemed normal and reasonable to everyone. A group of central ministries and commissions brought two Japanese businessmen to Quwu, saying that there was an investment of 200 million yuan. The Quwu Municipal Government paid great attention to it. The deputy mayor personally accompanied everyone to run for several days. All the related enterprises were cleaned, wrapped in blankets and delivered to you for selection. After all, it was because of these investments For the sake? Now that the investigation is almost over, you have to talk about how you plan to invest the 200 million yuan, otherwise, are you kidding me?

Chen Yuan couldn't find any reason for Mo Kongchao's request. The relationship between the central government and local governments is, in the final analysis, a relationship of interests. People care about their own interests, it's only natural and reasonable, Chen Yuan can't and won't have any dissatisfaction.

Everyone turned their eyes on Takehiko Takamura, waiting for his explanation. Takehiko Takamura only felt that everyone's eyes seemed to be warm, and his forehead began to sweat.

"Mayor Mo... our company's intention to invest in Quwu will definitely not change. However, it will take some time to realize this intention, and the investment must be divided into steps. Our preliminary plan is that the first step is to choose Brothers Ceramics Factory to form a joint venture, and then... choose other companies..." Takamura Takehiko stammered.

Mo Kongchao patted his forehead lightly with his hand, and said, "Oh, I feel ashamed to say this. Our best ceramics companies in Quwu are Yitao and Ertao, and Mr. Gaocun is not interested. Then We will choose other companies in the future, and we don’t know which companies to look for.”

"No, Mayor Mo, please don't get me wrong. We don't think Tao Yi and Tao Er are inappropriate, it's just temporarily... Or, we just haven't considered the way of cooperation..." Takehiko Takamura hurriedly corrected Mo Kongchao if.

Seeing Takehiko Takamura hesitating, Chen Yuan frowned her eyebrows into a knot, and silently greeted the women of Takehiko Takamura's family in her heart, well, maybe the men in his family, such as Takehiko Takamura's father's elder brother.

Nima little devil, when you were in the capital, you kept saying that you planned to invest 200 million yuan, and you tricked a group of us directors and bureau chiefs into going to Quwulai with you. Now that you have turned around, you have taken a fancy to a company, and you only plan to spend 10 million. Isn't this a joke? You said earlier that you only planned to invest 10 million, who would be interested in following you to embarrass yourself? Chinese officials are indeed interested in attracting investment, but a mere 10 million investment is not enough for a few directors to work so hard, right?

"Mr. Takamura, I remember that when you were in the capital, you once introduced the investment plan of Kucera Company to us. At that time, you mentioned that the US$200 million was only the investment in the first phase of the project, and there will be second and third phases in the future. It doesn't matter. , there are no outsiders here, you'd better talk about your ideas in detail, and ask Quwu's leader and your colleagues for some reference opinions." Chen Yuan said slowly, her eyes fixed on Takehiko Takamura.

Facing Chen Yuan's gaze, Takehiko Takamura was at a loss for words. He believes that if he dares to say that he only wants to invest 10 million, Chen Yuanguang can tear him to pieces with his eyes.

"Mayor Mo, I have an idea. Since Director Chen, Director Zhao and Director Wang are all present, I will bring it up together." Qin Hai came out to relieve Takehiko Takamura, and he said with a smile: "Everyone Leader, just now you have seen the ceramic knives produced by our factory, and now we have signed a supply agreement with foreign merchants, which has reached the level of 1 million sets per year, which is equivalent to a sales volume of 200 million US dollars."

"You mean, 200 million U.S. dollars per year!" Chen Yuan turned her murderous eyes away from Takehiko Takamura and aimed at Qin Hai. On the first day, Mo Kongchao once mentioned this figure to her. At that time, she thought that 200 million US dollars was the sum of the next few years. Even so, she still had great doubts. But now, Qin Hai actually said that there are 200 million U.S. dollars every year. This figure has completely subverted Chen Yuan's common sense.

"Indeed, it is 200 million US dollars per year. If Director Chen is interested, you can go and see the cooperation agreement we signed later." Qin Hai said.

"Okay, okay, we all want to learn for a while." Chen Yuan couldn't help but use a kind of modest words. In her capacity, it is very rare to speak to the personnel of a small company like this, "Xiao Qin , you continue to talk, what are your plans."

Qin Haidao: "All the leaders have also seen just now that the site and equipment of our factory are seriously insufficient, and the number of workers cannot meet the needs of expanding reproduction. Therefore, we have an unreasonable idea, hoping to merge the first pottery and the second pottery. Come to Brother Ceramics Factory and use their site, equipment and personnel to complete the task of earning foreign exchange through export.”

"I'm afraid it won't work. You are a private enterprise, and one pottery and two pottery are state-owned enterprises. You still want to swallow elephants like snakes?" An official who accompanied Chen Yuan and the others from the province retorted disdainfully.

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Yeah, we also think it's inappropriate to do so. However, if Kusela Company joins in, this problem won't be a problem. I have a bold idea. Factory, Yitao, Ertao and several other state-owned ceramic factories were merged to form a Quwu Ceramics Group, and Kusela Company invested 200 million U.S. dollars and related technologies as shares.

As for the share capital ratio, we can be more generous and allow them to own 49%, and our Quwu City 51%. In this way, the investment intention of Kucera Company has also been satisfied, and our task of exporting ceramic knives to earn foreign exchange can also be completed. Isn’t this a way to get the best of both worlds? "

As soon as this remark came out, all the Chinese officials including Chen Yuan burst into laughter, only Takamura Takehiko and Nagatomo Shuichi turned livid.

Qin Hai's suggestion can be said to be too shameless. Enterprises such as Yitao and Ertao do not have much investment value, and it is obvious that Kusela Company is not interested. Brother Ceramics Factory has investment value, but its own assets are small and cannot be sold at a price. Qin Hai's plan is to tie all the companies together, which is equivalent to stacking bricks and jade together, and then selling them at the price of jade. This is simply digging a big hole for Takehiko Takamura to jump into.

In addition, even if all these companies are counted, they are still worth less than 200 million U.S. dollars. Qin Hai asked Kucera to invest 200 million U.S. dollars, and only accounted for 49% of the shares. Takehiko is in the army.

From Takamura Takehiko's point of view, there is really no reason to refute Qin Hai's suggestion. The purpose of merging Yitao, Ertao and other enterprises is to expand the production capacity of Brother Ceramics Factory. Takehiko Takamura cannot object to this. You can’t say that Quwu’s original production capacity is not used, and you have to invest in yourself to expand production. ability?

The 200 million US dollars is obviously Qin Haishi's mouth, but how much can Takehiko Takamura say? 100 million, or 50 million... No matter which number, the Kucera company spent a lot of money. If he insists on insisting on the figure of 10 million, and Qu Wu quits, and several large state-owned enterprises merge in, you only pay 10 million?

"This...Qin Haijun's suggestion has some value. But...it may be difficult for our company to come up with so much money at once." Takehiko Takamura replied with his head down.

"No money? No money, call me Xiao Cai!" Qin Hai sneered disdainfully.

"Side dishes?" Chen Yuan looked around for a while, trying to find someone to explain to herself what a side dish is. It's a pity that none of the officials present understands this "stalk" that only military fans of later generations will understand. However, everyone can feel the contempt in Qin Hai's words.

"Of course our company has very strong funds." Takehiko Takamura is still making the final effort, "I think we can first talk about the joint venture with Brother Ceramics Factory. As for the issue of merging other ceramic factories, we can do it step by step. We are very interested in the establishment of a Quwu ceramics group proposed by Qin Haijun, and we are willing to actively promote it."

"I think so." Mo Kongchao interjected, "Since Japanese friends also agree with the establishment of Quwu Ceramics Group, why don't we advance this matter first in our city, and Japanese friends, use this time to raise funds. We The two parties signed a cooperation agreement. As for the specific cooperation time, we can wait for the first half of the year, but if we can't, we can accept it after a year or two. Director Chen, what do you think?"

"That's a good idea." Chen Yuan had already figured everything out. She realized that she was indeed fooled by Takehiko Takamura this time, and his idea was to spend 10 million US dollars to take away the technology from Brother Ceramics Factory. Judging from Qin Hai's introduction and Takamura Takehiko's performance, the value of the ceramic knife technology of Brother Ceramics Factory, even if it is not worth 200 million U.S. dollars, is at least far more than 10 million U.S. dollars.

At this time, if Chen Yuan wanted to get out of this matter, she could only accept the plan proposed by Qin Hai and Mo Kongchao in the form of singing double reeds, that is, to support the merger of Yitao, Ertao and Brother Ceramics Factory. Established Quwu Ceramics Group, and then pretended to have a joint venture intention with Kusela Company. The so-called intention is nothing more than a bad check, but with this check, Chen Yuan will be able to preserve her reputation.

When Quwu Ceramics Group starts to operate, if it is able to make a huge amount of foreign trade business, naturally no one will pursue the matter of joint venture intentions. At that time, Qu Wu can even claim that he unilaterally refused the joint venture. There is no other reason. Such a good business, why should he go to a joint venture with others?

Qin Hai and Mo Kongchao obviously thought of this plan a long time ago, but they made such a big detour before pushing the plan to Chen Yuan. The purpose of their doing this, if Chen Yuandong could see the fire, was to use Chen Yuan's identity to promote such a public-private partnership case. Otherwise, Quwu City would have to take some political risks if it arbitrarily established a joint venture between a state-owned enterprise and a private enterprise to form an enterprise group.
