Spring Breeze 1991

Lin Xiaohu was also puzzled, and even Jiang Yong, who never cared about business, showed a puzzled look.

Yao Yuan said flatly, "The reason is very simple, because they are Taiwanese businessmen."

How much local business owners invest is rotten meat. Foreign investment is the introduction of capital. The 90s was the most active era for local governments to attract foreign investment. It is closely related to the promotion of officials. It is conceivable that in the face of foreign investment, local governments What a wild passion would explode.

Yao Yuan said, "Introducing foreign capital and earning foreign exchange through export will be the focus of the local government's economic work in the next ten years. Regardless of our prosperity, we are not as good as other foreign-funded enterprises in terms of status."

"Understood, this is the reason why the city government has such a strong opinion on our repurchase of shares in Mitsubishi Motors." Lin Wei suddenly realized.

Yao Yuan said, "Mitsubishi Motors' US$1000 million investment is the largest foreign investment ever in the Nangang area. We bought back the shares of Mitsubishi Motors. Of course the city government is annoyed."

Lin Wei said in a deep voice, "During this period of time, I also want to understand that private companies have no status. If there is no support from the local government, life will be very difficult. I met with President Gao some time ago, and he told me that although Yuanda Electric's cash flow It is abundant and has no debts, but in the banking system, the loan evaluation is not as good as that of Xihai Sugar Factory. The financial situation of the sugar factory is so poor, but as long as they have government guarantees, they can borrow 1000 million from the bank. Yuanda Electric Ten million at most."

In business, Lin Wei is always able to show a surprising side. His appearance is too confusing. When people who don't know the situation see him, they will subconsciously think that this simple and honest fat man is relying on his relationship with the big boss. to this position.

Yao Yuan thought about it and said, "We can't let people be labeled as a company of a certain line, but we also need to win the support of the city government. It seems that some things have to be done in advance."

At this time, Lin Xiaohu suddenly said, "Ayuan, we have lent 20 billion US dollars to Xinxing Group, so it should be no problem to ask them for help?"

Obviously, Yao Yuan has not forgotten this great favor from the military, he slowly shook his head and said, "We can't ask Xinxing Group to come forward, there are two reasons, first, it's not worth it, and second, I already told you when I borrowed money , don’t want anything in return, just treat us as Southern Industry’s contribution to national defense.”

Lin Xiaohu nodded in understanding, and did not mention this matter again.

Xinxing Group is an enterprise owned by the military, and it is also a debtor who has accepted Yao Yuan's US$20 billion loan.

"Ah Yuan, we have to consider repairing the relationship with the city government. Although Nangang Customs is a vertical management system, but in Nangang after all, they have to look at the city government's face, right? If we seize our goods indiscriminately, the business of Nangang Yuanhai Trading Company will be impossible." Lin Wei said earnestly, "These days Director Yang has been running to us every three days, and his intention to actively repair the relationship is obvious. It is also very strong. Although there is a motivation for the cooperation between Sanqi and Toyota, I think there should be a solution to get the best of both worlds."

Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Actually, the solution is very simple. Let the city government have face and political achievements, and our identity problem will also be solved."

"What way?" Lin Wei asked quickly.

Yao Yuan smiled and said so.

The next day, Yang Sheng received a notice that the French Ward Investment Company would conduct a business inspection in Nangang.He temporarily put down what he was doing, tried his best to collect information on the French Ward Investment Company, and suddenly found that it was a large enterprise with assets exceeding [-] million US dollars and a wide range of investment fields.

After receiving the report, Zhou Liang regarded the inspection of the Nangang area by the French Ward Investment Company as the most important investment attraction activity in 1992. Guests of the country!

On April 4, the flight from Hong Kong landed at Nangang Airport, and a team of more than 10 people from the French Ward Investment Company arrived.There were more than 20 officials including Zhou Liang and Yang Sheng, more than 30 attendants, and a welcome team of more than 50 people waited directly on the tarmac, and a red carpet was laid.

Tall and tall Europeans came out in a file. The bodyguards in black suits and big sunglasses came out first, and then several tall European women with blond hair and blue eyes. They were obviously assistants and secretaries. The last one to get off the plane was France. Alyosha, chairman of Ward Investment Company.

Following Alyosha was Su Wangting, the executive president of the French Ward Investment Company.

Zhou Liang stepped forward to meet him, clasped Alyosha's hand tightly with both hands, and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Alyosha, I welcome you on behalf of the people of Nangang!"

Alyosha exchanged greetings, pointed to Su Wangting, and said, "The specific matters will be in charge of our company's executive president, Mr. Su Wangting."

"Mr. Su...Hi Mr. Su..." Zhou Liang shook hands with Su Wangting, the enthusiasm was obviously much less.

In China at this time, people have an inexplicable desire for foreign faces. A face is a passport. If you have investment funds in your hand, any local government will climax on the spot.

Based on this, Alyosha, who officially joined Southern Industrial, was pushed to the front by Su Wangting and became the chairman of the French Ward Investment Company. The real power is in the hands of the CEO, that is, in the hands of Su Wangting himself.

Yao Yuan handed over the business in Eastern Europe and Russia to Su Wangting, Lu Sen, and Yu Yongan respectively. Lu Sen took root in Kyiv, and Yu Yongan settled in Moscow, but Su Wangting found another way and registered Ward Investment Company in France. The company holds [-]% control of the enterprises under his responsibility.

These actions were all approved by Yao Yuan. The absolute control of all these enterprises was finally brought together under Yao Yuan's name through layer upon layer of shareholding. He is the one behind the scenes.

Alyosha is very satisfied with his current job, and cooperates with Su Wangting very well.

The welcoming event was grand and grand, and took up a whole morning.

Zhou Liang was very excited. When he saw more than [-] people coming from the other party, he knew that the investment was for real, not just to see.

Thinking that it is very possible to implement an investment of more than 1000 million US dollars, he repeatedly saw the scene where his "vice" became "positive".

For three days in a row, Ward's inspection team traveled all over the urban area of ​​Nangang.

On April 4, Alyosha proposed to hold a consultation meeting, and the city government immediately climaxed.

This means that Ward Company has a preliminary intention to invest in the Nangang area.

Zhou Liang and Yang Sheng made preparations at the city hall, and a dozen people from Ward Company arrived. In the office meeting room, the two sides sat down to start consultations.

"Mr. Alyosha, our Nangang investment environment is one of the best in the entire Guangdong Province, and our Nangang is the first batch of open port cities..."

"Mr. Zhou, we intend to invest in Nangang. The specific matters will be discussed with you by our CEO, Mr. Su Wangting." Alyosha interrupted Zhou Liang and said.

Not only did Zhou Liang not mind, but he was even happier, but he still focused on Alyosha. Su Wangting's Huaxia face did not attract his attention, even though he was the CEO.

Yang Sheng said, "Mr. Su, how much US dollars does Ward Company plan to invest?"

Don't ask what industry to invest in, but directly ask how many dollars to invest, which shows how strong the demand for foreign investment is.
