Reborn Tycoon Rise

Hu Yingxiang smiled and said: "Apart from you and me, Bao Yugang has just promised me, but he is only participating to leave a name, and will not invest too much. I heard him say that he is planning to donate to build a modern five-star hotel in the capital. .”

"Five-star hotel?" Xu Zhi recalled. It seemed that there was such an incident in history. Bao Yugang felt that there was no modern hotel in the capital, so he proposed to donate 10 million US dollars to build a five-star hotel in the capital. It seemed that he was going to use this method to reject orders for huge ships, but this matter also caused a huge dispute.

If you just donated the hotel, there would be no problem. However, Bao Yugang requested that the hotel be named after his father. This made many officials in the mainland hesitate to accept the funds, because this kind of thing can be big or small. One of the most luxurious hotels in Beijing was named after a capitalist, which was outrageous under current policies. It was not until a year later that the top leaders spoke out that the matter was settled.

"Okay, since Xu Sheng has agreed to invest together, I won't bother you." Hu Yingxiang stood up. He had gotten the results he wanted. It was already late now, so he naturally had to leave.

Xu Zhi also stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have any questions after returning to Xiangjiang, Hu Sheng can come to me directly."

…

The next morning, at 8:40, the health director of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery rushed over in advance.

"Director Wei, have a sip of hot tea to warm yourself up." Xu Zhi handed over a cup of tea. Winter mornings are the coldest. Although Director Wei has a high position and has his own car, the State Guesthouse is a special place, and he can only Neng got off the car at the door and followed the guard over.

Director Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

After drinking a few sips of hot tea, the Director of Health recovered somewhat and said, "Mr. Xu, regarding the color TV investment plan you proposed before, our government welcomes it, but some issues still need to be confirmed clearly."

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "Please tell me."

"Mr. Xu, I wonder what the approximate annual output of this factory is?" Director Wei asked.

"The main equipment of the factory invested this time comes from the Wanwan factory. If nothing else, the production capacity will not be lower than the previous amount. It is estimated that it will produce at least 3 million color tubes a year. And the factory that assembles color TV sets will not be lower than this. number.

I have prepared to close the RCA factory in Mexico, and these production capacities will also be moved to the mainland in the future. At the same time, RCA sells millions of radios and car radios in the U.S. market every year, and I plan to produce these in the mainland. "Xu Zhi said with a smile, this is a big bomb, the bomb of the future.

The Director of Health was also shocked by these "millions" and asked: "Are these going to be produced in Shenhai City?"

"This is the current plan, but this investment will be carried out in several phases. The first phase will be in Shenhai City. If the mainland's policies change in the future, sole proprietorships can be accepted, and it is not impossible to invest in other mainland cities." Xu Zhi smiled and said that although Shenhai City is currently the most suitable for investment, Xu Zhi knows the future development direction clearly. As long as 1986 comes, the Foreign Investment Law will allow sole proprietorships to take root in any city. By then, The layout must be nationwide, rather than just staying in Shenhai City.

Director Wei continued: "Mr. Xu, although sole proprietorship is currently not allowed in the mainland, joint ventures also have the benefits of joint ventures. As long as the joint venture is established, its products will enter the mainland market for sale. We also hope that investors can achieve win-win results in the mainland. .So I hope Mr. Xu can consider this proposal!"

"Is that so..." Xu Zhi really began to think deeply, but it was not whether he should consider this proposal, but he was wondering why the other party suddenly took the initiative to open up the mainland market.

In the 1980s, domestic foreign exchange was extremely scarce. The original purpose of reform and opening up was to introduce foreign-invested factories, but it was not meant to make money from the mainland.

First, I hope you can recruit workers in China to solve many employment problems for educated youth.

Secondly, I hope you can localize parts and components to stimulate state-owned enterprises that are already in operational difficulties.

Thirdly, I hope that all your products will be exported so that the country can earn the foreign exchange difference.

Fourth, I hope you can leave your technology behind so that domestic colleagues can learn more.

What a great way!

However, foreign investment is obviously not stupid. What attracted foreign investment in the 1980s was the consumption power of a billion people, but it was too difficult to enter this market. If you follow the mainland government's routine, the only benefit of foreign investment in China is to obtain low-cost labor. This is not bad for Hong Kong-invested intensive light industries, but the real foreign industrial giants simply disagree because their investments are in the hundreds of millions. In dollar terms, we pay more attention to risk when considering it.

So later there was a joint venture policy, with the mainland party accounting for 51%. Then there was the need to control the foreign exchange balance. The number of exports must exceed domestic sales without causing foreign exchange losses in the mainland. This way, it can also enter the mainland market. This is the law for SAIC Volkswagen. product.

In this environment, a foreign company invests in building a factory and plans to export all its products, but the government is suddenly willing to liberalize the domestic market. This is not "happiness comes too suddenly."

"Then I wonder how big the domestic market can be opened up?" Xu Zhi asked tentatively. At this moment, sales in the mainland can only rely on channels under the planned economy. Otherwise, without orders from superiors, not a single transport truck can be found.

The director of health opened his palm and said: "500,000 units."

"Too little!" Xu Zhi finally understood the other party's plan, shook his head and said: "Director Wei, our Midea factory has an annual production capacity of more than 3 million units in the first phase, and the joint venture only provides 500,000 units in the mainland. , isn’t this fair?”

If a joint venture is entered into and the mainland's open market is not large enough, it will be equivalent to giving away half of the company's future equity. Although this is only a stake in the factory, the share of exports is obviously larger. With half of the shares, the mainland government can The foreign exchange allocated is obviously more.

Director Health smiled and said: "Mr. Xu misunderstood, we do not need to enter into a joint venture with Midea's factory in Shenhai City, but we are considering jointly building a TV manufacturing factory in other inland cities. This joint venture factory will be based on the current The law allocates equity, and then we set half of the products to be exported overseas and the other half to be sold in the mainland, so that everyone gets what they need. What does Mr. Xu think?"

"This method is okay, but I want to know why?" Xu Zhi nodded and asked: "Opening up part of the mainland market will always reduce the government's foreign exchange income. Doesn't this seem cost-effective?"
