Chapter 1143 Joint Venture Conditions
Generally speaking, guests need to book a week or more in advance to visit a factory, and the manufacturer also has time to prepare for the reception, but Fujio Masuoka does not follow common sense at all, which is also very in line with his character.
In fact, there has been no news for several months, and Duan Yun thought that the matter on Toshiba's side had been ruined, but now it seems that things should have some eyebrows.
Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Duan Yun immediately came to the garage and drove his Santana car to Guangzhou Airport to pick up people.
After waiting at the airport for more than 4 hours, it was already approaching dusk, and Duan Yun saw Fujio Masuoka walking out of the terminal with a suitcase.
"Duan Jun!" After seeing Duan Yun, Fujio immediately waved his hand to him.
"Get in the car!" Duan Yun took the luggage from Fujio Masuoka and put it in the trunk, then pulled the car door and said.
"It's been a long wait, it's been a long time!" Fujio said apologetically.
"They're all friends, so there's no need to say those kind words. Duan Yun turned his head and smiled at Fujio, and after the car started, he quickly left the airport.
Along the way, Fujio looked preoccupied, frowning and not speaking, and Duan Yun didn't ask him.
Because it was late, Duan Yun did not return to Shenzhen with Fujio tonight, but went directly to the Guangzhou office.
After entering the office, Duan Yun called his wife at home and told him that Fujio had arrived in Guangzhou, and that he would not be able to return home tonight, so he would temporarily stay in the Guangzhou office for one night.
At this time, Li Guosheng, the director of the office, had already returned to his home in Shenzhen, and the other staff of the office immediately went to the kitchen to prepare wine and food after seeing Duan Yun's arrival, and settled Duan Yun and Fujio's room.
"Mr. Fujio, why didn't you squeak in advance when you came, I'll pick you up in advance and wash the dust......" After the meal was ready, Duan Yun and Fujio sat face to face.
"Duan Jun is too polite!" Fujio Masuoka said gratefully, and then said: "Duan Jun, this time I came to talk to you about the joint venture factory......
"I know that you have nothing to do in China except for the joint venture factory. Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then asked, "How is it?"
"Regarding the "Flash" chip investment forum in China, our company held a special meeting to discuss, and thought that if the company can meet several conditions of our Panasonic Group, it can set up a joint ......venture factory," said Fujio Masuoka.
"What conditions?" Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"We at Panasonic don't know much about your company's strength, but we only know that you are currently mainly producing Walkman products, and you are a private company, so I don't know what the relationship between your company and your local government is?" asked Fujio Masuoka.
It is clear that Fujio Masaoka is indeed paraphrasing the conditions proposed by Toshiba.
Toshiba has had business dealings with China before, and they know that if they want to set up a joint venture in China, the first question to consider is whether they will get the support of the Chinese government in this regard, because China is not a capitalist country with a free market, and without the support of the local Chinese government, it is impossible for the Japanese side to invest in China, so this is a crucial market factor, which is obviously not something that a technophoric like Fujio Masuoka can think of.
"We are indeed a private enterprise, but we have a very good relationship with the local government of Shenzhen, and our company has been investing heavily in municipal construction, and I myself have been commended by the Shenzhen Municipal Government many times, and I have also been on the newspaper and TV ...... many times," Duan Yun said.
"This ...... In fact, the president of our company means that I hope that the Shenzhen Municipal Government can provide an invitation letter to invest in the factory, which must be a formal official invitation letter!" said Masasei Fujio.
"Is it so troublesome?" Duan Yun frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said, "Actually, you don't need an invitation letter at all......
"I know that Duan Jun is an excellent businessman, but this matter has been emphasized by our president repeatedly, and I can't ......help it," Fujio said helplessly.
"Okay, I'll go back to the city government and report this matter. Duan Yun responded.
In fact, Duan Yu can fully understand Toshiba's approach, Toshiba itself also has a Chinese marketing department, they still have some understanding of the situation in Chinese society, if Duan Yun is a state-owned enterprise, Toshiba may not make such a request, but private enterprises are very rare in China, without the local government to make a commitment and guarantee, they dare not easily set up a joint venture factory in China.
"The second condition is that after the establishment of the joint venture, we will have a 49% stake in Toshiba Corporation, and we will also send a manager to your company to be responsible for the management and operation of the joint venture......
"This condition is impossible!" Duan Yun directly interrupted Fujio Masuoka's words, and only listened to it and said directly: "I think your company should understand the laws of our country, the highest proportion of shares in your company can only reach 49%, and the person in charge of the enterprise must be a Chinese person, and the foreign company only has the right to make suggestions, but has no decision-making power, and your company's statement itself is illegal!"
Naturally, Duan Yun could not hand over the management rights of the company to the Japanese, he would rather not set up this company, and it was impossible for him to become a puppet of a Japanese company, and the company's management rights must be firmly in his own hands, while Japan's Toshiba only enjoys the right to share dividends, and does not have any decision-making power of the company.
"This ......"
"Mr. Fujio, I hope your company can give me enough trust, in the management and operation of the company, I definitely have rich experience, and the current situation of our electronics factory you have also seen, this year our factory will break the sales record, become the first private enterprise in Shenzhen with an annual profit of more than 100 million!" Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said.
"Well, I'll go back and talk to the company about it, they should know the laws of your country. Fujio Masuoka nodded, and then said, "There is one last condition, that is, the quotation for your introduction of our company's production line......
"How much does your company cost?" Duan Yun asked directly.
"Our president said that if we want to introduce our company's full set of equipment for the production of "Flash" chips, it will take at least 100 million US dollars!" said Fujio through gritted teeth.
"$100 million!?" Duan Yun was taken aback when he heard this.
Duan Yun initially thought that Toshiba would offer a maximum of $50 million, but he didn't expect that this time they would ask for $100 million directly.
