Chapter 115: Field Trip (6)
After breakfast, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi went to the welcome hall to wait, and at this moment, the mobile phone rang, and Guan Yuntian picked it up, "Hello Mr. Guan! ”
"Oh, hello Director Liang!"
"Mr. Guan, what are you busy with now?"
"We're on a business trip in the south, isn't it Manager Chen's financing project of Hongyuan Company, let's come and have a look. "Guan Yuntian said.
"After the field trip, do you think the project is good?" said Lao Liang.
"We've been here for almost 10 days, and we haven't been exposed to much actual life except for visiting and playing. ”
"Don't worry, I think their project is good, the return on investment should be relatively high, this is a very rare capital management opportunity. ”
"Let's see how it goes, and if it's right, we'll take our chances. Director Liang, do you have anything else?"
"Oh, I want to tell you that the crude oil import index is now a little looser due to the loosening of policy, and if you want to increase the crude oil import index, it is easier to do now than before. ”
"Okay, thank you Director Liang, I'll contact you when I go back to the unit. "Guan Yuntian said.
Ending the call with Lao Liang, the crown 3.0 happened to drive towards the door of the hall, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi walked out of the door, and Lao Chen got out of the car, "Mr. Guan and Mr. Ye, I've kept you waiting." ”
"We didn't have to wait long, we just came down from upstairs. After speaking, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi got into the back row of the car.
When he arrived at Hongyuan Company, Lao Chen took Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi directly to the small conference room, where Lao Zhou, the chairman of the company, and Lao Gao, the general manager, were already waiting inside.
"Good morning, two CEOs! The host got up to say hello.
"Hello Mr. Chou Gao!"
The guest and host sat down on both sides of the conference table face to face, and the staff brought the brewed tea to Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi, and Lao Zhou spoke first: "Mr. Guan Ye, our manager Chen said that you have some questions about the financing project and need us to clarify it in person, I don't know what things you have questions about?"
Guan Yuntian took a sip of the teacup, "The two CEOs, we are nearly 2,000 kilometers away from Hongyuan Company, and we don't know anything about Hongyuan Company before this, and we don't know anything about the health care products industry. ”
"What Mr. Guan said is that any investor needs to have an in-depth understanding of the financing project, and if you have any questions, you may as well say it directly, and we can communicate face-to-face. "Old Gaodao.
"First of all, we are most concerned about the health care effect of this health care product on the human body and its market, everyone is a business, of course, we know a truth, only good products have a big market, with a big market, there is a good income. The financing report cites a variety of health benefits, we just want to know, is the effect of this product really that miraculous?"
Lao Zhou admitted: "Mr. Guan is worthy of being the CEO of a large enterprise, and the primary issue he cares about is the core issue. Let's open the window and say something, the financing report on the health efficacy of the product does contain a little water, but this is not unique to Hongyuan Company, and all over the world make health care products, all of which have the characteristics of exaggeration. ”
"Two CEOs, can the real effect of the product reach half of what was advertised in the report?" Ye Jiayi said.
"Not necessarily, for different groups of people, the situation is different, in some cases the health effect may be more than 50% of the advertisement, in some cases, it may not be half of the advertisement. Lao Gao said bluntly.
"Health care effects are based on the results of trials, right? Health care products are the same as drugs, do they need to be clinically tested?"
"Health care products are not the same as drugs, we know that drugs have certain side effects, health care products do not have side effects, its clinical trials are relatively simple, ordinary people can take it, even if there is no effect, it will not be toxic to the human body. In the efficacy test, a certain number of people are specified, let them take our health products for free, and after a period of time, the effect can be observed. Lao Gao explained.
"Well, it's simpler. Have all the tests in this area been completed?" said Ye Jiayi.
"Now a lot of data has been accumulated, but the experiment in this area will continue, Mr. Ye may have seen that Hongyuan company is very pragmatic, and we strive to do all the work more solidly. ”
"May I ask Mr. Gao, do you select volunteers from within the company, or do you spend money to recruit experimental subjects from the society? Is the experimental effect quantitatively tested, or is it only based on the oral report of the experimental subjects?"
"There are both aspects, as for the experimental results, mainly based on the oral report of the experimental subject, do not hide from Mr. Ye, quantitative testing is very troublesome, and the workload is quite large, because there are more experimental subjects, and the testing fee is also a large expenditure. ”
"The financing report also predicts the market, how big do the two CEOs think this product can be in the end?"
"Mr. Guan, the final market size is not easy to make accurate predictions, you know that health care products are different from drugs, a certain drug is aimed at a specific group of people with a certain disease, such a group of people is basically fixed, but health care products are aimed at different consumer groups, its consumer group is not fixed, it all depends on our product publicity. "Lao Zhou told the truth.
"That is, the investment in advertising?"
"Yes, in the cost composition of health care products, a large part of the advertising costs, industry insiders know that any kind of health care products, without advertising bombardment, is impossible to have a large market, including print media, radio and television, celebrity endorsements, etc., etc., these costs together, to account for more than three percent of the cost of the product, who invests more, whose product is famous, the market share is naturally large. ”
"According to Manager Chen, one of the purposes of project financing is for market development, probably including advertising costs, right? What we don't understand is that Hongyuan Company is a large enterprise, with your strength, you should be able to undertake such development alone, even if the company's own funds are limited, you can also finance from local financial institutions, why bother facing the society and looking for this unnecessary trouble?" Ye Jiayi's question was a bit sharp.
Ye always did not know, Hongyuan company is indeed a large enterprise, but there are great difficulties, the company's own funds to maintain the normal production of other products, can not be misappropriated, the development of this product was prepared enough funds, but the development process encountered unexpected difficulties, so that the development work was delayed, the funds for the follow-up business were spent, which led to a gap in funds. The financial institution financing you mentioned, since the project is still in the development stage, the bank will not support the loan application at this time, so we thought of social financing. ”
It seems that Hongyuan Company has unified its caliber within a certain range, and Lao Zhou's explanation is completely consistent with the previous statement of the financing manager Lao Chen, and it is probably not so easy to see any flaws in this regard.
"Two CEOs, on the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, we saw a lot of guests, how many of those guests were project investors?" Guan Yuntian said.
"Eighty percent of them are project investors, one-third of whom have already invested in the project, and the other two-thirds are ready to invest in the project. ”
"Well, you can say that this goal has been achieved, but those investors seem to be locals?"
"Yes, only you came from other places, but there are also a lot of foreign investors, so far, there are at least twenty or thirty foreign investors, right?" Lao Zhou asked Lao Gao.
"Specifically, there are now 28 investors from other provinces and cities. Lao Gao replied.
"Dong Zhou, I see that your products have obtained FDA certification, and your work is very advanced!" Ye Jiayi said.
"It's not to facilitate market development, with such certification, we can further gain the recognition of consumers, but also to reassure consumers. ”
"But why don't you get the certification of the relevant domestic agencies first? You get such an FDA certification, the average consumer still doesn't know what it means, the domestic certification makes people clear at a glance, how good!" Ye Jiayi said.
"The domestic certification is being processed, and the relevant application documents were reported to the State Drug Administration half a year ago, and it will be passed in a while. When we first applied for this FDA certification, it was said that it was very authoritative in the world, so we spent some effort to do it first. ”
"The FDA is very authoritative, but few domestic consumers know what it means, and it is not as well known as the certification of domestic authorities. ”
"Mr. Ye was reasonable, at that time, we only considered the authority of certification, but ignored this aspect of factors. "Old Gaodao.
The two CEOs of Hongyuan Company gave patient and meticulous answers to all the questions that the guests were concerned about, and although Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi were not very satisfied with the questions clarified in person, they could not find obvious loopholes.
At around eleven o'clock, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi got up to say goodbye, "Thank you for the answer of the two CEOs, we have a flight at two o'clock in the afternoon, and now we are going back to the hotel to clean up." ”
"It's still too late, we will see off Mr. Guan and Mr. Ye at noon. ”
"The two CEOs are busy with affairs, and the time at noon is limited, so I won't bother you. ”
"You have come all the way, we are fellow countrymen, this trip must be sent, even if you drink less wine. Lao Zhou insisted.
"Mr. Zhou is gracious, respect is better than obeying fate, so let's hurry up, how about it?" Guan Yuntian said.
"Just Mr. Guan, let's go now. ”
Several people took two cars, and after arriving at the hotel, everything was very neat, except for Ye Jiayi, everyone else only drank a glass of wine, Lao Zhou raised his glass, "Mr. Guan Ye Zong, welcome you to Hongyuan Company again!"
"I'm so disturbed here, please two CEOs Haihan, thank you for your hospitality, and welcome you to Changda Group to guide the work!" Guan Yuntian said politely.
"Mr. Guan, through this field visit, I don't know what you think of our financing project?"
"Overall, I think the project is okay. ”
"In that case, I would like to take the liberty of asking, I wonder if you have any investment intentions?"
"Well, let's take the inspection back and hand it over to the board of directors for discussion, and then determine the investment intention. ”
"Oh, do you need to make a decision through the board?"
"Yes, Changda Group is a joint-stock enterprise, and major matters must be collectively decided by the board of directors, and I hope the two CEOs understand. Guan Yuntian's reason is very legitimate, and the other party can't believe it.
Seeing that he couldn't get the desired result immediately, Lao Zhou felt a little regretful, "Okay, then I wish you two a smooth journey!"
......
After more than ten days on a business trip, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi had a lot of affairs that needed to be dealt with immediately, so they put aside the project financing of Hongyuan Company for the time being. Who knew that three days later, Guan Yuntian received a call from Lao Chen of Hongyuan Company, "Hello Mr. Guan, I want to inquire, has your board of directors discussed our financing project?"
"Ouch, I just came back from a business trip, and the company has a lot of things waiting for us to deal with, and your financing project hasn't had time to meet and discuss. ”
"Mr. Guan, I want to take the liberty of asking, when will this matter come to an end?"
"When will the results be? It will be about a week from now. ”
"Mr. Guan, it would be best if you could hurry up and catch up. ”
"Why? Can't you even wait for these few days? Our company's affairs also need to be dealt with urgently!"
