Vol 3 Chapter 20: It's really time for investors to come

   As soon as the Spring Festival passed, there was a frenzy of deepening the reform process in China.

   It is not only the skyrocketing of production materials that people see that a new wave of construction is brewing in the country, but foreign capital is also doing its best to grab the mainland market. China's stance on accelerating reform and opening up gave Americans and Europeans a sigh of relief. Over the past three years, the mist of mistrust that permeated China and the Western world has gradually dissipated.

Multinational companies can’t wait to increase their investment in China. The investments of companies such as General Motors, Motorola, and DuPont that were stranded have all resumed. Chrysler is discussing expanding the operation of Beijing Jeep. Manufacturers such as Boeing, HP and General Electric are in all directions. Launching large-scale sales, under the supervision of Bill Gates, Microsoft opened an office in Beijing. A product manager of Avon said that they have signed 8,000 sales ladies, while Procter & Gamble said that their business in China is increasing at a rate of 50%.

  Almost at the same time, the domestic economic system reform is struggling, especially for those state-owned enterprises that are on the verge of bankruptcy. It is even more troublesome. In almost every province, there are many state-owned enterprises that are on the verge of bankruptcy and can't continue to operate. For such enterprises, even if they continue to increase capital investment and continue to increase policy support, they will only linger for some time in the end.

  Under this situation, many economists have called for the complete relaxation of state-owned enterprises and the revitalization of enterprises. Or. It is to directly push these companies to the capital market.

Fan Wubing recently noticed a problem. Some Chinese capital in Southeast Asia went to the mainland to test the waters in the name of serving the motherland, trying to obtain control of the entire enterprise by reorganizing the assets of some domestic enterprises that were not doing well. right. One of the most notable is that a Hong Kong company called Huace is buying domestic companies on a large scale.

   In just a few months. Huace acquired dozens of large and small companies on the mainland, at a cost of about US$400 million in exchange for absolute controlling rights in these companies, and planned to integrate them into a large group company and get them overseas. Listed as a whole.

Fan Wubing sent someone to investigate the Huace company and found that his boss is an Indonesian Chinese, and in this Huace company, he is just a shareholder who holds less than 20% of the equity, standing behind him. of. It is Li Ka-shing's Hutchison Company, Cotai Group and Morgan Stanley and other major securities firms. In addition, this person also has a very close relationship with the ITOCHU Foundation in Japan, and his capital background is very complicated. obviously. Those hidden behind the capital predators want to rely on Huang Hongnian's assault to obtain benefits.

   Fan Wuyi studied the investment strategy of the other party, and quickly understood their intentions.

   Judging from most of the acquisition scenarios, Huace’s mergers and acquisitions are basically a mayor’s project. First, they communicate directly with the government leaders, take advantage of the south to patrol the east, use political cards, and hold high. Build momentum with aura. The non-stop Huace purchases companies like cutting rice, and specifically selects key national companies with good capital quality and profitable prospects. From the beginning, they have made a plan to package and sell them.

   Huace focused on the acquisition of rubber tires and beer in the two major industries. The two rubber factories were first included in the name of the China Tire Holding Company registered in Bermuda, and then new shares were issued and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Then, it used the 100 million US dollars of fund-raising to acquire three tire and rubber factories. Three of the five factories acquired by Huace are designated production plants in the domestic tire industry. And in the beer industry. Zhongce has acquired a number of breweries. A Chinese Beer Holding Company registered in Bermuda was formed, and there are plans to go public in Toronto, Canada.

   At first, Fan Wuyi was very surprised how the government would allow foreign investors to buy high-quality domestic enterprises on a large scale. After studying it, he discovered that behind this series of actions, big capital behind the scenes was secretly promoting.

At the same time that Huace Company is making large acquisitions in various places, it is followed by a huge cheerleader composed of theoretical and media professionals. His appearance has made reformist theorists seem to see the dawn of letting state-owned enterprises get rid of the old system. Therefore, the praise for it is a bit on the line. Many economists believe that the Huace phenomenon is an effective model for the reorganization of state-owned enterprises and a product of the deepening of China’s economic system reform. Huace’s merger and acquisition finally allowed state-owned enterprises to achieve The diversification of property rights, which has not broken through for many years, will make the reform of state-owned enterprises completely out of the old path of reform in the cage.

Under the influence of this media trend, senior executives also believe that Huace can use the principles and channels that Huace is familiar with for foreign companies to go public to transform some state-owned enterprises into international companies after reorganization, and continue to be listed abroad. , To attract more foreign funds to invest in the development of domestic enterprises.

   Fan Wuyi made a rough calculation. In fact, Huace will not invest more than 500 million US dollars in the acquired projects. However, if the listing is successful, its profit will be more than 3 billion US dollars. It really is a good calculation. From the beginning to the end, Huace didn't really intend to make these companies bigger and stronger. They just hoped to make a fortune in China's state-owned enterprise restructuring through Deng Gongnan's tour style.

Basically, this is just a business model in which government and business use each other. The local government has turned several state-owned enterprises into foreign-funded enterprises by introducing foreign capital. Since then, they have separated from government control and achieved their own achievements in promoting economic system reform. Taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, package and sell the acquired companies overseas to make huge profits, it can be said that each person gets what he needs.

   "I think it's time I should do something." Fan Wubing felt that it would be a shame to allow these people to plunder domestic high-quality resources like locusts in front of him.

   Therefore, he decided that he should do something to show his existence, to remind them, so that he will recklessly introduce foreign capital blindly, and he will regret it in the end.

   Plain Factory. It is the first step he wants to use to realize his strategic layout on the big chessboard of China.

   Although the Spring Festival holiday is not long. However, according to local customs, it is indispensable to go to relatives, so when the seven aunts and eight aunts walk around and eat a few more times, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When people in all units settle down to work, basically this first month will pass.

  The country is promoting reform and opening up. As far as Panshi is concerned, there is something interesting recently. Our little rock has now attracted foreign businessmen. Although it is only an investment intention, it makes everyone feel a little excited. After all, in an inland province, being able to attract Golden Phoenix, shows that we have phoenix trees here. The tree!

  Of course, people who are willing to invest will not be without a target. It is said that the investor is a young and beautiful Indonesian female overseas Chinese. What she fancy is the newly discovered source of high-quality mineral water in Malan Village in Panshi City.

Li Mingjiu, the director of the Pingyuan Factory, naturally heard the news within the first time, and his thoughts were immediately aroused.

  According to the original idea. He wanted to set up the mineral water factory in the name of the Pingyuan Factory, and then slowly make losses through the management of the land, and finally sell it to his relevant stakeholders, and finally reorganize it and change it. Brands continue to hit the market.

   You must know that this will take a year and a half in time. But safety is the most important thing, and Li Mingjiu doesn't care about this year and a half. But now the situation has changed. Some foreign businessmen are eyeing this project. If the government supports it again, in the current environment of deepening reforms and intensively introducing foreign capital, I am afraid it will not be very competitive.

   Especially now that Malan Village and their plain factory are not concession to each other on the issue of water sources. And they have the advantage of geographical advantage. If the government let go, there will be nothing wrong with this matter.

   Li Mingjiu thinks about it. When it comes to the fat on your lips, you can't always let others take it away.

   "It seems that you have to start first!" Li Mingjiu decided that he should first contact the female overseas Chinese in the name of Pingyuan Factory, and try to negotiate this matter, even if it is appropriate to make a little concession.

In other words, Li Mingjiu is also the factory of the Pingyuan Factory. It is a cadre at the main hall level and a leader of four to five thousand employees. It is still possible to meet an overseas Chinese who has just returned to China for investment. Therefore, he is the second part of his entrusted message. Yesterday, the other party agreed to meet in the hotel of the Pingyuan Factory.

The hotel in the Pingyuan Factory was built with an investment of more than 1.5 million yuan. Although the area is not large, there are only more than 40 guest rooms. However, due to the production and materials of the factory itself, its configuration is still very high-end. In terms of hardware conditions alone, it completely surpasses a three-star hotel.

Early in the morning, Ma Xindu, the manager of the Pingyuan Hotel, led the staff to clean up and down the hotel. The places where flowers should be placed were arranged. The small gardens before and after the hotel were also specially searched for by the fire brigade. I sprayed a car twice, and the cement pavement before the hotel was almost spotless, and it was so clean that I couldn't bear to step on it.

"Everyone is careful. Today is a foreign guest here to discuss business with Director Li. This is related to the future development of our factory. Don't be sloppy!" Ma Xindu stood with his arms akimbo and stood in front of the hotel. At the door, he gave loud orders to the busy workers coming and going.

For Manager Ma, the employees are still a little afraid. This person is deeply loved by Director Li. It is said that the two people have a very good personal relationship. There are also rumors that he is a pimp, using the high-quality waiter resources in the hotel. It was very condescending to several leaders and was deeply disgusted by others.

   But for this kind of thing, unless someone stands up to identify it or catches the current situation, everyone will just say a few words behind the scenes. It’s not good to put it on the bright side. If you don’t have evidence, just talk nonsense. That’s framed.

But there is one thing, no matter how distressed the situation in the factory is, the investment in the hotel is no less than a penny, and the waiters in the hotel are more than a good one. There are very few. The coquettish goods, this seems to be able to corroborate everyone's guess from a certain aspect. After a while, the manager’s car drove into the yard. Li Mingjiu got off the car with a serious expression. He drove around in the yard with his hands on his back and nodded, seemingly satisfied. Looked in the conference room. After finding the ashtray above the table. He frowned and said to Ma Xindu who was accompanying him, "Old Ma, this is not needed. People are women, and our people can't smoke here. Remember to explain them one by one later. Don't forget."

   "Yes. I must inform." Ma Xindu nodded and said with a smile.

   Li Mingjiu turned around in the guest room again, and ordered two clever waiters to take care of him. Then he walked down and drove out again, supposedly to welcome the female overseas Chinese.

   After seeing Li Mingjiu’s car left, Ma Xindu turned around and rearranged the things in the hotel. It was a little uneasy, so he checked it out himself.

   at ten thirty in the morning. The female overseas Chinese team finally arrived. There are four cars in total, and the first one is a Mercedes-Benz. The well-informed people would recognize that it was Mayor Fan Heng’s son’s car. Later there were two Audis, and the last one was Li Mingjiu’s Santana.

  Ma Xindu personally opened the door of the leading Mercedes-Benz, and the leaders of the Pingyuan factory waiting at the entrance of the hotel were all smiles and applauded to welcome the arrival of the female overseas Chinese.

   Shen Manhua was dressed in a fashionable outfit. Tingting came out of the Mercedes-Benz curly, her eyes covered by a pair of wide sunglasses. Can't see the true face of Lushan.

After   , all the people in the group were leaders of the municipal government, but none of the Standing Committee or the Deputy Mayor appeared, which made the people at Pingyuan Factory a little puzzled.

   It is reasonable to say that Li Mingjiu's banquet for female overseas Chinese was naturally directed at the source of mineral water. The Panshi City Government was on the stand of protecting Malan Village. It is impossible to ignore it. Could it be said that they have given up the water dispute?

   But it seems unlikely! Until yesterday. The two sides still had a big fight in the municipal government over the issue of where the water source belongs. There is no reason to be so peaceful today.

Li Mingjiu rushed up from behind, his heart was a little bit aggrieved, not that he suffered a dark loss at the city government, but because the female overseas Chinese did not get in her own car, but take a look at the several cars she was with. Among them, my own car is the worst. I can't blame others for this. Who makes the current situation of the Pingyuan Factory bad?

  Although Li Ming’s nine private small vaults are rich, but changing cars at this knotty point, isn’t it troublesome for yourself? Although he is rather arrogant, he still knows the importance of these things. If he arouses opposition from the whole factory, even if he has strong support from the ministry, he will not be able to get along.

The driver of the Mercedes-Benz is not someone else, it is Fan Wuyi. At this moment, he is walking side by side with Shen Manhua with a smile, a gesture of no one else, which makes Li Mingjiu feel quite jealous, "This little boy, who does he think he is? He came here, he is not so ostentatious!"

   But he knows a little bit. Fan Heng seems to be very rich and has some contacts with foreigners, but Li Mingjiu doesn't know much about specific things.

After all, Li Mingjiu is just an outsider, and Fan Heng's family left Panshi for many years before returning to become the mayor. If it were not for the parties, not many people would remember Fan Wuyi’s astonishing act before, and not many people were willing. The things that have deflated yourself are spread all over the world.

  Time is the best weapon to kill everything. Naturally, Li Mingjiu has no way of knowing how capable this little boy he hates is. He just thinks that this boy looks a little bit awkward.

"This place used to be a wasteland----" Fan Wubing pointed out a garden near the hotel to Shen Manhua and said, "I remember when I was young, there were two woods here and there, in summer. At that time, I often brought a bunch of children to catch and play. The park you can see used to be a big garbage pit. Later, in order to beautify the environment, the big pit was filled and repaired in the factory. The park is actually a place for the employees to rest and play, but there is no place to throw things out of dead cats and dogs."

   "Dead cat or dog?" Shen Manhua asked in a puzzled way.

   "Well, it's the big hole under the park. It used to throw these things. It is said that some people have thrown dead children, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Fan Wuyao replied solemnly.

   "Oh----" Shen Manhua tightened his mink coat tightly. Surround the fur collar. When Fan Wubing said so, it seemed that he saw it with his own eyes, and a small grain of sand appeared on the skin.

   "How can there be such a thing, our Pingyuan factory has been a civilized and advanced unit for many years." Li Mingjiu listened to Fan Wuyao maliciously slandering the park he had set up by himself, and couldn't help refuting.

  It cost more than three million yuan to build the park, and a lot of manpower and material resources were invested back and forth. The benefits Li Mingjiu gained from it were not small, so he was the last thing he wanted to hear. Someone said in front of him what the park was like.

   A group of people walked into the hotel, and under the guidance of the waiter, entered the small meeting room.

Although it was closed and it was just after the cold winter, there was no feeling of suffocation in the house. Yesterday, Ma Xindu asked people to clean the inside of the house thoroughly, and the doors and windows were opened to provide ventilation. The heating is very suitable. The temperature inside the room is just 18 or 9 degrees, neither hot nor cold, but flowers are placed in the corners. It also exudes bursts of fragrance from time to time, refreshing.

   Fan Wuyi rushed to open a chair for Shen Manhua, watched her sit down, and then pulled a chair for himself and sat down on his own.

   Li Mingjiu's face is even more stinky. Seeing the conversation between this female overseas Chinese and Fan Wubing, it seems that the two people are very familiar with each other! So how likely is it to succeed in today's negotiations?

   Fan Wuyi is the son of Fan Heng. Fan Heng is the mayor of Panshi, Malan Village is under the control of Panshi, and the mineral water source is in Malan Village. If you count it in a round-robin fashion, Fan Wuyi is obviously sent by Fan Heng to monitor the female overseas Chinese’s negotiations with him. Of it! In this situation, how should one start the negotiation? How to communicate your trump cards with the female overseas Chinese in front of Fan Wuyi?

  Ma Xindu is the manager of the hotel. First of all, I extended a warm welcome to Shen Manhua's admission. Then let the factory director Li Mingjiu speak.

   Li Mingjiu was polite, and then said. "It's an honor to invite Miss Manhua Shen, an overseas Chinese from Indonesia, today. We are very happy to go to and from the plain factory! The ancients said that it is fun to have friends coming from afar? This is the portrayal of our mood now. To be able to come with Ms. Shen Discussing the plan for common development is a major event for our Pingyuan Plant, and it is also in line with the country's general policy of deepening reform and opening up."

Shen Manhua smiled slightly, "I am very grateful for the welcome from your factory and the love from Director Li. I am returning to China this time mainly because I want to make some contribution to the economic development of the mainland, and at the same time for our local Indonesians. Local overseas Chinese are looking for some good projects suitable for development. They happened to hear that Panshi City has discovered a source of high-quality mineral water, so they came to take a look. As far as I am concerned, I still hope that we can cooperate successfully."

   Li Mingjiu's eyes were bright, and when he was about to agree, Shen Manhua might as well add another sentence, "But I heard people say that there seems to be some disputes about the ownership of water sources?"

   As soon as I said this, the people in the room stopped talking, and the fake smile suddenly became a little embarrassing.

Li Mingjiu's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Fan Wuyi, who was sitting next to Shen Manhua and drinking tea on his own. The place where Malan Village sits is also part of the land of our plain factory. Therefore, the power to dispose of the water source is completely determined by our plain factory. Regarding this point, there is really no need to go into details. We have an appointment with Miss Shen today, which is With a very sincere attitude of cooperation, I hope to facilitate the completion of this joint venture water plant."

In fact, after thinking about it for a few days, Li Mingjiu also turned this corner. Since eating alone is not acceptable, he might as well take the curve of saving the country. As long as he succeeds in cooperating with foreign businessmen and attracts investment, he will have his own The political achievement is there, whether it is to work in the head office or directly enter the department is enough. Even if you stay in the Pingyuan factory and continue to be the director, you are also the director of the joint venture factory, and the status is very different from before. There are benefits without harm, and more importantly, through this cooperation, you can put a circle of pioneering and innovative aura on your head, which will be of great benefit to your future career.

He also studied the reaction of the Panshi City Government. Based on the appearance of Malan Village alone, the conditions for a joint venture with foreign investors are too poor. Even if the city government wants to support it, the cost of investment is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses. . Therefore, if they see the Pingyuan Factory showing their determination, they will be very determined. It is estimated that the tone of opposition will not be so strict.

As long as there is a bit of sweetness to Malan Village, or some compromises with the city government, Li Mingjiu believes that the joint venture will definitely fall on the plains factory. After all, this is also a problem for the Panshi city government. Fan Heng looked at himself wrong again for the big achievement project. Nor will it let go of this good opportunity to make contributions.

   Another point is that the lineup of the city government attending the negotiations today is obviously to accompany the guests. Otherwise, what qualifications does a hairy boy like Fan Wuyao have to meet himself? Could it be that this is also a sign of concession?

   Li Mingjiu's head has been spinning for a long time, always thinking that today's things are promising.

Sure enough, after Li Mingjiu finished speaking, a deputy director of the mayor’s office at the municipal government said, “Director Li’s words are also a bit wrong. The land used to be owned by the Pingyuan Factory, but now the Malan Village is organized. It's been more than ten years. A fait accompli has been formed, and you can't help but acknowledge this status quo."

   "We have an approval letter for the land." A leader of the Pingyuan Factory immediately retorted.

"What's the use of approval?" The deputy director said disdainfully, "Our villagers have built large plots of houses on them, and no one has asked them for more than ten years. These have naturally become collective industries. Just like before. The Russians’ lands are all west of the Volga River, but where do you see their current territories? If the approval is useful, can we bring back such a large tract of land if we come up with a map of the territory of the Qing Dynasty?"

   "You. Are you arrogant words!" The leader of the Pingyuan Factory was furious.

Li Mingjiu frowned and said, "These words are meaningless. As the largest state-owned enterprise in Panshi City, we should always receive some policy support in the city! Even if there is no support, you should not hold us back! Do the conditions in Malan Village have the strength to attract investment? In the future, they will build a mineral water plant, but what do they know? You can't bring inferior resources. How can you fool the patriotic overseas Chinese who have a heart to serve the country like Miss Shen! There is no reason to do it!"

   Shen Manhua did not speak. It was just amused to watch the two sides wrangling there, very interestingly.

   Fan Wuyi coughed. Then he interrupted the dispute between the two sides, "There is no need for everyone to quarrel. This matter is actually a historical issue. It is meaningless for us to argue here. Let Ms. Shen read the jokes. The old man Deng also talked about his southern tour. Having said that, we have to be bolder and move faster. If we are noisy and noisy, how much time will it take? How much slower is the development of our Panshi City than the other provinces and cities? So , We should still discuss this matter based on the principle of joint development and shelving disputes." At the end he turned his head and asked Shen Manhua, "Miss Shen, don't you think?"

   Shen Manhua nodded and smiled, "I totally agree with what Mr. Fan said. You can come up with a clear charter and talk to me about investment."

Li Mingjiu thought to himself, it seems that without making any concessions, the city will not easily give up the cornucopia of mineral water sources, so he asked, "What are the requirements of Malan Village? We can also put forward them. If our plain factory has the ability Satisfied ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can also be agreed."

   The deputy director who spoke just now frowned, "What else do farmers want? Of course it's land!"

  Fan Wuyi continued his words, "This argument is something we haven't considered before, but I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?"

   Li Mingjiu Xin said, aren’t you the private representative of Mayor Fan, otherwise, where would a Mao kid be qualified to sit here? So he replied, "Hehe, everyone can express their opinions, brainstorming, we listen more, it will always do no harm."

Fan Wuyao nodded and said, "Malan Village has occupied the land of the Pingyuan Factory. We should take care of this and lose the other."

   Li Mingjiu nodded, his heart said that this is still a human word, that piece of land is ours.

"But if you rush to transfer the land to Malan Village, Pingyuan Factory is afraid to do it. After all, this has the original approval. Or if Malan Village cedes the water source to Pingyuan Factory, the villagers are naturally unwilling, and something will happen sooner or later." No disease said with a smile, "There is a compromise, that is, Pingyuan Factory, Malan Village, and Miss Shen form a new joint venture company to deal with disputed land assets and water sources. Malan Village and Pingyuan Plant use land and water sources. By purchasing shares, Ms. Shen uses capital to invest in this new company and turns this new company into a joint venture company controlled by Ms. Shen to avoid these disputes."

   So tired, I have been writing at night, and finally caught up with today.
