Reborn Tycoon Rise

"So that's it!" Xu Zhi thought for a moment and smiled: "Secretary Huang, we don't have to wait until later. Is there still a project we can collaborate on now?"

Huang Daohan asked: "What project?"

Xu Zhi said: "In Beijing a few days ago, I promised the Ministry of Machinery and Industry to build a household appliance factory in the mainland. This factory will be a joint venture with the government in accordance with the current foreign investment joint venture law. The products will mainly be used for export and domestic sales. If Secretary Huang is willing, this factory can be placed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

"Household appliances, so it's not just color TVs?" Huang Daohan asked.

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, but the main ones are color TVs, and the others are refrigerators, fans and air conditioners."

"Then you don't know how big the scale is?" Huang Daohan asked, this is the most important thing.

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "Specific aspects still need to be discussed with the Fourth Machinery Department, but Secretary Huang can rest assured that the scale will not be too small."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Xu." Huang Daohan said with a smile. Although we didn't get an accurate answer, it was enough to get a cooperative project in the first meeting.

After drinking and eating, and chatting casually about some international happenings, Secretary Huang and others stood up to leave.

Secretary Huang stood up and said: "Mr. Xu, people from the American Mark Company will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow morning, and the city government will hold a reception dinner in the evening. I hope Mr. Xu can also attend!"

"No problem." Xu Zhi nodded and agreed.

After leaving the private room, Secretary Huang waved to a 30-year-old middle-aged man and said to Xu Zhi: "Mr. Xu, this is my secretary Wang Weide. During this period, he will stay at the Peace Hotel, living in the same building as you." If there is anything on the floor, you can directly give him instructions."

"Hello, Mr. Xu." Wang Weide took the initiative to shake hands and said, "Just call me Xiao Wang."

"Don't dare, Mr. Wang is too polite." Xu Zhi replied with a smile. The secretary of a senior official in Shanghai may not have a high level, but his power and interpersonal relationships are very strong. It is difficult to talk about such things in politics. , The official may not be big now, but he may be a big boss in the future.

With Xu Zhi's status, he doesn't need to care about it now, but he still needs some basic respect. He can't really call someone older than him "Xiao Wang"!

Wang Weide smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xu."

"Mr. Xu, farewell then!" Xu Zhi sent Huang Daohan and others to the door before returning to the guest room.

…

The next morning, the flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai landed at Hongqiao Airport. The inspection team of Mark Company was grandly received by city officials. Several directors from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce went there. Afterwards, the group He was also arranged to the Peace Hotel.

"How are you, are you tired?" Xu Zhi handed over a bottle of Coke and said with a smile.

"It's okay. I already slept on the plane and I'm not very sleepy now." He Jun said after taking the Coke.

Xu Zhi sat down and said: "Lao He, you have just arrived in Shanghai today. Except for the reception dinner held by the city government in the evening, you will have a good rest at other times. The formal negotiations will begin tomorrow. You should have also studied the current situation in the mainland. Policy and law, I have helped you solve the biggest problem of foreign exchange balance, but everything else depends on you."

He Jun was selected by Xu Zhi from within Mark Company to be the person in charge of the Shanghai factory in the future. He was originally the highest-ranking Chinese in Mark Company and had been serving as the deputy sales director in the sales department. After Xu Zhi acquired Mark Company, he became Instead of rushing to promote internal Chinese positions, they investigated all the situations clearly. Now that they are investing in the mainland, promoting He Jun is a matter of course.

He Jun is an authentic American. He was born in the United States since he was a child. However, because he grew up in Chinatown, he can also speak fluent Chinese. In addition, he is a law major in college. Even if he does not understand technology, he is the best to be sent to management. Best choice.

He Jun asked: "Then I don't know what aspects I need to pay attention to in the follow-up negotiations?"

Xu Zhidao: "First, it's a matter of principle. You represent our company, and you must consider maximizing profits. All domestic products are currently determined by plans. You must plan for the maximum sales volume for the joint venture, and the best It can be determined using data, or what proportion of our sales volume needs to be in the country.”

In the era of planned economy, even if you produced a bunch of high-quality and low-price products, without the strips on them, not even a single screw would leave the factory. Determine the specific data or ratio now to avoid trouble in the future.

He Jun nodded and said, "I understand."

Xu Zhi added: "I have discussed with the First Machinery Department that we will provide some technical support, but in return, the mainland government will also directly purchase a batch of heavy-duty trucks or other products from the Mark US headquarters factory. You can We must also consider maximizing profits. The economic benefits of American factories are not good right now. With this order, life will be much better."

He Jun also wrote down this incident in his notebook.

Xu Zhi continued: "Third, some principled issues should not touch the bottom line of the mainland. This is the most important."

He Jun asked: "What is the principle issue?"

Xu Zhi said: "In fact, the most suitable place for investment in the entire mainland is Shenhai City, which is why I placed the electronics factory there. But the automobile industry is different and requires strong industrial supporting facilities. The entire mainland is also on the rise. Shanghai is the most suitable place for investment, but it is the core area of ​​the mainland and there are many legal differences from Western values.

For example, the current laws in the Mainland stipulate that workers cannot be fired unless they break the law. I guess this is difficult for you to accept, right? "

This era is the era of the working class. Workers are very high in the hierarchy, even surpassing civil servants. It is said that in Shanghai, a group of educated youth returned to the city. The government provided a number of worker positions and police positions. Those who were selected for the worker positions were very happy. , the one who was chosen to be a police officer was listless and was laughed at by the former.

In an era when workers are the masters of the country, it is a shocking event for foreign capitalists to fire workers.

He Jun frowned and nodded and said: "Indeed, this kind of regulation is very unfriendly to the factory. If the workers hang around every day and we have no way to deal with it, it will be a big trouble. Not only the person himself, but also the bad things will happen." The whole group.”

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, and currently the mainland does not have a pension insurance policy like European and American countries. In other words, workers need factories to provide for their retirement. What does this remind you of?"

He Jun replied: "UAW? This is the same problem as the three major American auto giants. It's fine in the short term, but it will cause big problems after a long time."

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "So I have a plan here. Can you consider it?"

He Jun asked: "Mr. Xu, please tell me?"

Xu Zhidao: "As for employees who cannot be fired or even punished, we can sign an agreement with the government. The workers we use are not directly affiliated with our company, but are all employees of other state-owned enterprises. In this way, the issue of pension responsibilities can also be solved at the same time. We only need Just pay these state-owned enterprises a certain amount of money every month.

And if an employee performs poorly, we can also return him or her to the original company, which does not count as dismissal and avoids breaking the law. "
