Chapter 201: Common Ground and Differences

Chen Geng didn't go around in circles with the two, and asked straightforwardly: "First of all, I must be sure that the Jialing Factory is preparing to merge this automobile project into the previous motorcycle company, and is not ready to set up a separate joint venture company, right?"

Sun Shoupeng was a little puzzled in his heart, feeling that Chen Geng's problem was simply redundant, we wanted to take this opportunity to start a car company, but it was impossible to approve it, didn't we say it at the beginning, we had to take the road of "getting on the horse first, and then approving".

However, he was puzzled, and he couldn't figure out why Chen Geng asked such a question, so he hurriedly nodded, and at the same time reminded Chen Geng euphemistically: "Of course, it is also more convenient from the perspective of getting production qualifications in the future......

"OK," Chen Geng nodded: "Since motorcycles and cars are in the same project, let me tell you my opinion first." ”

Sun Shoupeng hurriedly said, "You say." ”

Chen Geng: "Although we have reached a basic agreement on the automobile project, the development of such a new car requires a process, and the most conservative estimate will take about two years. ”

Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming were not disappointed, but a little surprised:

"Mr. Chen, is two years really enough?"

"yes, the body, engine and gearbox need to be developed from scratch, is two years really enough?"

They originally thought that God would bless them if they could launch this project in three or four years, and that it would be launched together with the motorcycle project.

Chen Geng was embarrassed to say that in fact, it was about the same for a year or so, after all, for Chen Geng's professional knowledge, a van is really not a technical thing, a manual four-speed gearbox is not a technical thing, the real difficulty is nothing more than the tuning of the "half" 1.8L engine, nodded and said: "In two years, our motorcycle export business has taken shape and began to have profits, and this time is just right to connect with the car project, which is enough." ”

Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming didn't know the twists and turns in Chen Geng's heart, and when they heard Chen Geng's words, they only thought that Chen Geng was stuck in the progress node of this motorcycle project, and their hearts were suddenly moved: Mr. Chen really deserves to be an old friend of our Huaxia, and he really thinks about us and helps us save money. Nodding heavily, he said, "Mr. Chen, thank you...... I won't say anything else, in short, we Jialing factory thousands of old and young masters fully cooperate with you, we will do what you say, who dares to say a 'no' word, Lao Tzu...... I'll be the first to clean him up!"

"Don't be busy being happy first," Chen Geng smiled and waved his hand: "After the good words, I have to talk about the issue that we are most concerned about: the issue of shares and profit distribution......

Hearing Chen Geng's words, Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming's expressions subconsciously became serious: This is the main event.

Chen Geng continued: "The cooperation intention we reached on the motorcycle project before is that our Fernandez company will produce products, technologies and management specifications, and at the same time, we will first advance the purchase funds of the corresponding production equipment, and then deduct this part in the proportion of subsequent profits.

However, since a new car project has been added, although we have not yet determined the approximate production capacity range, what I mean is that the motorcycle part will maintain the previous program structure and will not be moved for the time being, but the car part, products, technology, patents and management are still from our Fernandez company, and the procurement funds for all kinds of equipment required cannot continue to be borne by Fernandez. ”

What the?!

Fernandez no longer advances funds for the purchase of all kinds of production equipment required for automobiles?

As soon as Chen Geng's words came out, Sun Shoupeng suddenly became anxious!

As soon as Chen Geng's words were finished, his face turned pale with anxiety: "Chen Dong, it is impossible for our Jialing Factory to get such a large amount of money, and it is impossible for the state to give us so much money......

"Director Sun, don't worry, I don't mean I don't care," Chen Geng explained with a smile: "I mean, what about this money, our Fernandez Company can't afford it, but we can't afford it, we can find someone who can pay this money." ”

I see.

Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming breathed a sigh of relief, but while they were relieved, he was a little puzzled: "Apart from you, who can pay such a large sum of money?"

Although it is not very clear how much money is needed to carry out this automobile project, since most of the production equipment needs to be imported from abroad, it is definitely impossible to do it without a few million dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, although the treasury can indeed take such a sum of money, but how can the state give such a large amount of foreign exchange to the Jialing factory?

It is impossible for the state to approve such a large amount of foreign exchange to Jialing Factory, Chen Geng also made it clear that he would not give this money, Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming really can't think of who can take such a large amount of money.

Chen Geng didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "Of course it's a bank." ”

"Bank?" Sun Shoupeng subconsciously shook his head: "The bank's money is also from the state, and the state does not approve this project, how can the State Administration of Foreign Exchange give us foreign exchange ......?"

"Who said it was a domestic bank?" interrupted Sun Shoupeng's words, Chen Geng asked rhetorically.

Not a domestic bank?

That's ...... Foreign banks?

Looking at Chen Geng, Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming's eyes suddenly widened, and Sun Shoupeng stumbled and said, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean...... It's ......"

Chen Geng said: "That's right, Fernandez Company can find a bank in the United States to operate this matter, as long as the Jialing Factory agrees to use the profits generated by the international business of motorcycles as collateral, it can apply for a loan from a bank in the United States, I don't know what the two of you think?"

Using the profits generated by the international business of motorcycles as a guarantee, applying for a loan from a bank in the United States to purchase equipment for the production of automobiles? Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming suddenly glanced at each other, and both of them felt like they were dreaming: Can they still operate like this?

Sun Shoupeng, who did not have any experience in making loans from foreign banks, always felt that such an operation was not very embarrassing, so he hesitated and said: "Mr. Chen, we have no experience in dealing with foreign banks, so it is better to ......."

"Why don't you take the motorcycle mode and let us pay first?" Chen Geng shook his head, and resolutely dispelled this thought: "This operation is too much pressure on our funds." ”

Of course not, but Chen Geng said so, Sun Shoupeng can't help it, the project has finally come to this point, can he still give up because of this little problem? But he decided to struggle a little more: "Mr. Chen, we have no experience in dealing with foreign banks......

"This is not a problem, if you are worried about being cheated by foreign banks, then you don't have to," Chen Geng said without waiting for Sun Shoupeng to finish speaking: " We have a long-term cooperative bank in Fernandez, I can let this bank provide us with a loan, not only the loan amount can be a little higher, but also can get the lowest possible interest rate, as for the conditions of the loan, you two rest assured, don't forget, this project is also my industry, pit this project is not the same as pit myself, I will ask the most professional experts to help us check the loan agreement. ”

Chen Geng's words have all been said to this point, and he has offered to help Jialing Factory connect with foreign banks, what else can Sun Shoupeng say? He had to nod his head, and he had to be polite: "Mr. Chen, what you said, we didn't mean that...... Hehehe......"

"But now there's a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Hearing Chen Geng say that there was a problem here, Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming suddenly became nervous.

"Look, in the future, we will provide the product, we will provide the technology, and the management method and philosophy will be the ...... According to your country's current management methods, Fernandez's shareholding in the joint venture company cannot exceed 50%, that is, it can only get no more than 50% of the dividends at most, so the question is," Chen Geng spread his hands and asked Cheng Xingming and Sun Shoupeng: "How can we recover our investment as soon as possible and earn what we deserve?"

The most important drama meat is here!

The string in Cheng Xingming and Sun Shoupeng's hearts tightened suddenly: "Then Mr. Cheng, what do you mean?"

"In order to recover the investment as soon as possible and maximize profits, we must have the final say in the management of the enterprise, especially in terms of strategic direction!"

Chen Geng's tone was very resolute, but Sun Shoupeng's reaction was also very fast: "This is impossible!"

If Chen Geng has the final say in this joint venture, then what is the Jialing plant?

Perhaps realizing that there was something wrong with his tone, Sun Shoupeng took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mood: "In terms of management, we will fully respect your opinions, and we are willing to make another step on the basis of the management structure we negotiated before, but it is impossible to give all the management rights to you." ”

Chen Geng's brows furrowed, and his face was a little ugly.

Looking at Chen Geng's expression, Cheng Xingming secretly screamed in his heart.

To tell the truth, Chen Geng's demands are excessive? In terms of their sincerity in this cooperation, in fact, it is not too much at all, to put it bluntly, what else has happened to the Jialing factory in addition to the manpower? It seems that nothing has been produced, and they are responsible for the money, technology, management, and even sales, and if there is no corresponding management right, it is indeed difficult to do it, but the problem is that it is indeed impossible for the Jialing factory to give up all the management rights, what should we do?

"Mr. Chen, listen to me first......"
