Material Empire

Liu Shuo didn't expect that, just a few days after he let out his wild words, Takehiko Takamura really came to Qu Wu. . . Along with him and Changyou Xiu, there were seven or eight officials from Beijing and the province, and only five cars came. After a closer inquiry, the coming of these Beijing officials was so scary, let alone Liu Shuo, that even Mo Kongchao couldn't bear it.

"This is Director Chen Yuan of the State Economic Commission."

"This is Director Zhao Bowen of the Ministry of Foreign Trade."

"This is Director Wang Jiacheng of the Ministry of Light Industry."

"..."

As the names of the officials were reported, the face of the secretary and the mayor greeted in front of the office building of the city government all changed, and they all looked deeply into Mo Kongchao's eyes. Qu Wu is a small place. It is also a big deal to bring in Beijing officials on weekdays. Now I have four or five Beijing-level officials at the bureau level, as well as several deputy directors of the provincial departments. Accompanied by officials, the battle was a bit daunting.

A small prefecture-level city is favored by superiors, which is a good thing. However, the emergence of superior leaders with such a high density is definitely not a simple matter. It is more likely that there is something wrong with the local work. A joint working group was sent to find the fault.

"Old Mo, what's going on?" Mayor Zheng Zepeng pulled Mo Kongcha to the side and whispered to him. Before these officials came to Quwu, they greeted the locals and said that they were investigating industrial matters. The composition of several officials also fully matched this statement, so Zheng Zepeng believes that this matter must be related to the Mo Kong Dynasty.

"Lao Zheng, I can't figure it out," Mo Kongchao said. "You saw that the Japanese weren't called Gaocun or something. I heard Liu Shuo, the director of the brother ceramic factory, told me the other day. He said that this person may have some thoughts on the brother ceramic factory ... but how could he get together with the people in the central government? "

The Brother Ceramics Plant is not a big company in Quwu, but in the past month, due to the continuous flow of visiting foreign businessmen, and Mo Kongchao reported that this plant may do hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign trade business, the city The secretaries, mayors, and so on naturally paid special attention to it. I heard that the factory director Liu Shuo talked about Takamura Takehiko a few days ago. Zheng Zepeng believes that this large group of central ministries and officials gathered in Quwu must be directed at the brothers ceramic factory.

"What did Liu Shuo say, did they disrespect the foreign guests somewhere?" Zheng Zepeng asked. For such a big thing, as the mayor, he has to know what he has in mind. Otherwise, if the leader above asks what the starting point is, and he asks three questions, it will be troublesome.

Mo Kongchao shook his head and said, "No. Liu Shuo only said that this Takamura Takehiko is a ceramic company in Japan, and he was considered a rival with his brother ceramics factory, but did not say that there was any conflict between them."

"This matter, you have to hurry and implement it to Liu Shuo, and ask what is happening between them," Zheng Zepeng told.

"Okay, I'll do it later." Mo Kongchao agreed.

The situation at the scene also made it impossible for Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao to say more. Shake hands, greeting these two as the mayor and vice mayor. Obviously you can't stay out of it. After the messy welcome ceremony, the secretary retired first. Zheng Zepeng led the crowd into the office building of the city government, and sat down in the large conference room. The officials above are all from the economic sector, so the reception is naturally government-led.

"Welcome the leaders to our Quwu inspection and guidance work ..." Zheng Zepeng started the conversation with a set of all-round official speeches. He couldn't figure out the intention of these officials. You can only say something big and try the other's reaction.

"Thank you Quwu for the warm hospitality and thank you Mayor Zheng and Mayor for putting aside your work to meet us during your busy schedule." Chen Yuan, the leader of the guest, spoke. She is a director of the State Economic Commission. Around 50. With a professional smile on his face forever, speaking and doing things seemed extremely capable.

"This time, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wang, and me, accompanied Mr. Gao Cun and Mr. Chang You to Qu Wulai, and made a special trip to report a good news to you. Japan's Kusera Ceramics Co., Ltd. is a world-renowned ceramic manufacturer. The products are marketed globally, with production bases and sales centers in more than 40 countries around the world. With the gradual implementation of China's reform and opening up, Kusela Ceramics Co., Ltd. saw China's strong market potential and decided to invest in building a large ceramic in China Production base, the first phase of investment amounted to 200 million US dollars! "Chen Yuan waved his arm and made an exhilarating action.

Everyone in the conference room is tried and tested by the government. How can we not know the meaning of this action. No one needed to take the lead, and everyone applauded, applauding Chen Yuan's words.

In the warm applause, if someone observes carefully, you can find that the expression of the applause is slightly different. The officials from the ministries and officials accompanied by Linxi Province came with applause and excitement on their faces when they applauded, apparently moved by the huge investment of 200 million US dollars. And the local staff in Quwu City, although the sound of applause is not small, but the expression on the face seems more indifferent, especially Mo Kongchao, even with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

It was indeed a sensation that foreign investment of 200 million U.S. dollars stayed at that time. It is precisely because the investment volume is so amazing that the State Economic Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Light Industry and other departments will also send department-level officials to accompany Takehiko Takamura. If an investment of this size falls in a certain province, it is not too much for officials at the level of vice governor to come out and join in. When Chen Yuan said this number, she was quite proud. She imagined that Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao should be pleasantly surprised, so excited they couldn't help themselves, and even stood up and made various swearing statements.

However, Chen Yuan's idea was just her wishful thinking. If this happened a month ago, maybe Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao would behave as she expected. But in the past month, figures such as hundreds of millions of dollars have been repeatedly said at the office meeting of Quwu City Government. This is the estimated annual foreign trade turnover of a company under their administration. There are such figures At the bottom, would they be shocked by the $ 200 million investment?

The most important thing is that Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao are like mirrors in their hearts, and at this time Cuzella suddenly made a decision to invest 200 million US dollars in China. And several officials accompanied Takamura Takehiko to appear in Quwu at the same time, apparently because the drunkards meant not to drink, they must have come to the brothers ceramic factory. What mischief is contained in this, the two local officials can basically guess one or two.

Chen Yuan waited for a few seconds, and did not see the excited look she expected on the faces of Zheng and Mo, and immediately became contemptuous. In her opinion. Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao certainly did not associate the 200 million US dollars with Quwu City, so they have such an indifferent expression. Local officials, they must be of very poor quality. They have such a clear suggestion that they will not see it, and it is really incurable.

"Why, Mayor Zheng, Mayor Mo, haven't you thought about it? Japanese friends have decided to build this base. It's built in you Quwu!" Chen Yuan decided not to wait any longer, she opened it directly and did not The mystery of suspense.

"Uh uh ... yeah, I didn't expect it. We welcome Kusera's investment in Quwu, and we thank Director Chen, Director Zhao, Director Wang, and Mr. Gao Cun and Mr. Changyou." Sincerely fearful, he said a circle of thanks. However, he knew that things were not so simple. There must be something else behind Cusella's generosity. And these things may bring trouble to Qu Wu. Not the benefits. With such a thought, his face looked quite stiff.

Chen Yuan was disappointed by Zheng Zepeng's dry expression. She laughed twice and said to Zhao Bowen and Wang Jiacheng around him, "Oh, it seems that Comrade Qu Wu was so excited by the good news. It ’s no wonder that it ’s okay. A prefecture-level city has suddenly attracted US $ 200 million in investment, and this is only the first phase of investment. Looking at the whole country, it is also shocking. "

"Mayor Zheng, we have brought you such good news. Why do you have to invite us to have a good meal?" Zhao Bowen laughed and teased. His views were the same as those of Chen Yuan, and they all thought that Zheng Zepeng must be I was dumbfounded by such good news, so I need to make an innocuous joke to help Zheng Zepeng get his reason back.

Zheng Zepeng smiled bitterly when he heard the words of the two ministries and officials, but he couldn't speak up. From the level, he is equal to Chen Yuan, Zhao Bowen and others, and is even bigger than them in real power. But Beijing officials are Beijing officials, and they are leaders when they come to the place. People can laugh at you, but you can't laugh at others, otherwise you will be disrespected by the central government.

"Thank you several leaders for bringing us such a good opportunity. The wine must be drunk, otherwise it is not enough to show the gratitude of our Quwu people to their superiors." Zheng Zepeng said compliments, and then the words turned around. I asked, "I would like to inquire, Cuzella intends to invest 200 million US dollars in us, what is it going to do? Also, what kind of cooperation is needed in our city, please take advantage of the presence of leaders Mr Takamura made it clear that this will also allow us to make arrangements as soon as possible. "

"Mayor Zheng really is a member of the army. First of all, I thought of how to do things. This kind of hard work spirit is worth learning." Chen Yuan felt that she seemed to understand Zheng Zepeng: Zheng Zepeng must be worried that the investment amount of 200 million US dollars is too Large, Quwu City can't afford it, so this nervous expression. She turned her head to Takehiko Takamura, and said, "Mr. Takamura, please introduce the investment intention of your company to the mayor Zheng. If there is any request, we will work on-site and we can give you some clear answers now."

"Thank Director Chen and Mayor Zheng." Gao Cun Wu Yan stood up, bowed to everyone in the audience, and then said, "Our Cucella company is very optimistic about Quwu's rich coal and porcelain resources. , Plans to invest in Quwu to build a production base, specializing in the production of high-end ceramic daily necessities that meet the needs of the international market. We hope to build a 200-hectare ceramic industrial park, recruit 4,000 employees, the annual production of ceramic products is worth 500 million US dollars ... "

When he was telling, Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao constantly exchanged their gazes, looking for his true intention from these official speeches. Finally, Takamura Takehiko talked about the key issues after describing a large section of the vision:

"In order to shorten our construction cycle, and also to better absorb the management experience of Chinese friends, and reduce cultural conflicts in management, we hope to choose one or two local ceramic enterprises in Quwu for joint ventures. We can provide A complete set of advanced production technology, production lines and management models from Japan, all investment is borne by the company. "

Sure enough ... Mo Kongchao snorted coldly in his heart.

There is nothing unique about Quwu's coal and porcelain clay. There are many places in the country with the same resource conditions. Therefore, Qusera chose Quwu as the investment location. It is by no means what Takamura Takehiko said. resource of.

Leaving the question of resources, then what Cusella sees is obviously Quwu's enterprise, and it can even be said that it is the brother ceramic factory. Liu Shuo once told Mo Kongchao that the ceramic knife they developed is the only one in the world ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ No one company can produce similar products. Obviously, Cusella was coveted by the technology of the brother ceramic factory, so he wanted to quietly take the brother ceramic factory into the name of a joint venture.

With a huge sum of US $ 200 million, if it is used to acquire any other company in Quwu, Mo Kongchao will gladly accept it, and even promise to buy one, get one free. What the Japanese like is what the city offers. However, when it comes to the brothers ceramic factory, Mo Kongchao can only hehe. These days, the cooperative sales agreements signed by the brothers ceramic factory have spread all over the world, and the annual sales promised by the seller alone have reached more than 100 million. US dollars. If such a hen who can lay golden eggs is bought for a mere $ 200 million, Mo Kong will have to wipe her neck.

"Mr. Gaocun's request is very realistic and very reasonable. We have no opinion. We currently have five medium-sized state-owned ceramic enterprises in Quwu. Among them, Quwu No. 1 Pottery and Second Pottery have the strongest scale and technical strength. If Mr. agrees, we are willing to take out these two ceramic factories to cooperate with Japan. What does Mr. Takamura think? "

Mo Kongchao showed a happy look, and threw a suggestion to Takamura Takehiko that made him calm. (To be continued ...)

ps: Uh, let ’s start with 4,000 words. Count 1 and 1/3 more ... I'll make it up tomorrow.
