Chapter 257: Like a Clever Tongue
It was confirmed that the general manager and secretary of Huaxia No. 1 Heavy Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Corporation came to Dongying;
It is confirmed that Lincoln Electric, Miller Electric, Graco and Paccar, the major American welding and spraying equipment manufacturers, have made it clear that they support Fernandez, and the president of Miller Electric has publicly stated that American companies do not need Germany to teach them how to do business;
It was determined that the general manager and secretary of Huaxia No. 1 Heavy Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Corporation had a very happy conversation with Chen Gengjun;
It was confirmed that after meeting with Chen Gengjun, the general manager and secretary of Huaxia No. 1 Heavy Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Corporation were very happy and eager to book a ticket back to China......
The information that has been fed back one after another has made Honda Motor Co., Ltd. unable to sit still any longer.
Kawashima and Kume are ambitions already know that Chen Geng seems to have really reached a cooperation agreement with Huaxia No. 1 Heavy Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Corporation, coupled with several equipment manufacturers in North America, in this battle launched by Wolfsburg Automobile, Wolfsburg's advantages are rapidly eroding, and Dongying's weight in this battle is also declining rapidly, if Honda does not take effective action quickly, perhaps Honda will become a common enemy in the Dongying industrial field......
The reason why the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (renamed the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry after 2001) has not taken the initiative to contact Chen Geng is simply because Chen Geng first contacted Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and everyone acquiesced to Honda Motor Co., Ltd.'s role and status in this cooperation, but if Honda Motor Co., Ltd. does not take action to ensure everyone's interests, Honda will immediately be thrown aside.
Therefore, in this case, despite the reluctance of 10,000 in his heart, Kawashima Preference still had to bite the bullet and invite Chen Geng back, but Kawashima Preference also made it clear that some things were impossible: "Although this cooperation is indeed beneficial to Dongying Industry, Chen Jun, it is absolutely impossible to be free." ”
"It's impossible to be free, but what about long-term interest-free loans?" asked Chen Geng.
"Nani?!"
Chen Geng did not go around in circles, and simply put forward his own conditions: "Fernandez Company cooperates with Huaxia Modu Automobile Factory, which is a medium-sized automobile factory with a maximum annual production capacity of 60,000 cars, of which the stamping, welding and painting production lines of engines, gearboxes and bodies are all located in the United States, and the final assembly line is located in Huaxia.
According to our calculations, the total investment of the two factories in Huaxia and the United States, including the engine and transmission production lines, will be about 60 million US dollars, of which the final assembly line installed in Huaxia will be about 8 million yuan. Therefore, Fernandez's request was for the Dongying government or Dongying's commercial banks to provide Fernandez with an interest-free loan totaling US$60 million for a period of 10 years. At the same time, Dongying must ensure that all equipment sold to Fernandez is at least 10% lower than the current market price. ”
Chen Geng's meaning is very clear, if Dongying thinks that this is a rare opportunity, and wants to take this opportunity to take advantage of Fernandez Company to slaughter it? Sorry, you don't have such a big face.
But Kawashima didn't expect it to be so far away for a while, and when he heard the figure of $60 million, Kawashima was stunned and went crazy: a ten-year interest-free loan totaling $60 million?!
How can there be such a good thing?!
Do you even know what $60 million means?!
Before, Kawashima liked to think that Chen Geng was a very good person, but now, in just a few minutes, his opinion of Chen Geng has changed drastically: this bastard is a complete vampire!
"It can't be!"
"Mr. Kawashima, don't say that it may still be impossible," compared to Kawashima's exaggerated reaction, Chen Geng's expression was calm from beginning to end: "If this production line can be built, you should be very clear about its role in promoting and pulling Dongying industry in the world, which not only means that Dongying's industrial enterprises can enter the high-end industry of automobile production line suppliers, but also become a high-end business card in the field of Dongying industry and electronic technology, which means that Dongying has a high-end business card in the field of high-end machine tools, The field of CNC and automation has reached the international advanced level!
Mr. Kawashima, ask yourself, do you think it is expensive to exchange an interest-free loan for such an advertising opportunity compared to the huge benefits obtained by the Dongying industry and electronics industry?"
"Uh......"
Although I am very unhappy with Chen Geng's practice of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but Kawashima likes to have to admit that Chen Geng's statement seems to be correct, for the Dongying industry, such an opportunity is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: if it is not caught up by Dongying this time, who will choose Dongying's equipment to match and match the car line, who knows when the next opportunity will appear? If you really wait for ten or eight years, I don't know how many 60 million will be lost.
In addition, although there is no interest on interest-free loans, the principal still has to be repaid, and although the interest for ten years is not cheap, each selected company pays a little, and on average, it is not much money, which is regarded as advertising expenses.
It's just that although the truth is such a truth, but he was stabbed by Chen Gengzai like this, Kawashima is still uncomfortable in his heart after all, he frowned and said: "But in any case, 60 million US dollars is too much." ”
Chen Geng looked at him with a surprised face, and said in surprise: "Mr. Kawashima, you are just responsible for helping me pass a message to the Dongying industry and the government, no matter who pays this money and how much it costs, it has nothing to do with Honda, why are you so excited? It is as if I am taking your Honda's money." ”
River Island Preference: "......"
Kind stuff!
Although the truth is this truth, can you not say it so directly?!
However, in addition to being congested, Kawashima suddenly found that his mood was much brighter: That's right, since this money is not from Honda, he is just a helper to spread the word, why do you say so much?
........................
There is no doubt that as soon as Chen Geng's conditions came out, Dongying's industrial circle suddenly exploded!
A ten-year interest-free loan of $60 million, Nima is simply a robbery, is it good? It means that Fernandez did not spend a penny, and used the money of the Dongying people to build a factory with an annual output of 60,000 cars......
Why didn't this kind of good thing fall on Lao Tzu's head?!
Countless voices denouncing Chen Geng floated in the sky above Dongying, and the capitalists in Dongying felt that Chen Geng was simply too deceitful, although you played a little insignificant help to us, but you asked for a long-term interest-free loan of 60 million US dollars, where did you leave us...... Do you know how difficult it is for us to apply for an interest-free loan of $6 million from the government?!
But the officials of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry obviously don't think so - such a big thing, such a big movement, it is difficult not to alarm the officials, and it is even said that what Chen Geng wants to do is actually something that the Dongying government has always wanted to do but has not done - no matter what they thought before, at least now, the official of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry in front of Chen Geng is almost convinced by Chen Geng......
"Mr. Yamada, $60 million is indeed a huge amount of money, but what we have to figure out is that this is an interest-free loan, let's put aside this seemingly scary number and get to the essence of the matter, for Fernandez Company, this loan will have to be repaid sooner or later, and for the Dongying government, it is nothing more than a subsidy for Fernandez Company with interest, and what is the amount of the Dongying government subsidizing Fernandez Company?
I have a figure here, the total amount of low-interest and interest-free loans provided by the Dongying government every year is more than 3 billion US dollars, and we take the annualized interest rate of 1.2% of Dongying's foreign low-interest loans as a reference, the principal of 60 million US dollars, the annual interest is only 720,000 US dollars, and the total interest for 10 years is only 7.2 million US dollars. Compared with the opportunity to promote themselves to the world from Dongying Machinery Industry and Electronics Industry, do you still think that the annual advertising cost of 720,000 US dollars is very expensive? This is already the cheapest advertising cost, right?"
Chen Geng desperately instilled a concept in Kenichi Yamada, an official of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, that is, this cooperation with Fernandez Company, Dongying made a lot of money - as for the fact that the principal of 60 million US dollars was used for 10 years, it was ignored by someone intentionally or unintentionally.
But I have to say that Chen Geng's bowl of hard-poured chicken soup is indeed a bit useful, and Kenichi Yamada thinks it is also the same reason, just like Mr. Fernandez said, although $60 million sounds a bit scary, but the principal of $60 million is to be repaid, and what the Dongying government has to do is to subsidize Fernandez Company by $720,000 a year. Subsidies for 10 years in a row, for Dongying, this is nothing, in order to let Dongying's electronics industry and machinery industry go out, as long as the money is worth it, it should be spent!
But fortunately, his IQ has not been fooled offline, and he finally thought of a question: "Although that is the case, the premise of all this is to have an advertising effect on a global scale, right?"
"Of course, this is a must," Chen Geng looked at Comrade Yamada with a praising look of "You have learned to answer!" "So for the Dongying government, it is also necessary to contribute to this matter on a global scale, so that the whole world will pay attention to the dispute between Fernandez and Wolfsburg Automobile, and the more attention you pay to, the better the advertising effect." ”
Kenichi Yamada also understood this truth, but he looked embarrassed: "This is indeed a good way, but it also needs money, right?"
Chen Geng looked at him in surprise, like a fool: "In the face of such an opportunity, is it possible that the Dongying government and the business community of Dongying are not even willing to spend this money? You have to understand one thing, that is, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Dongying's machinery industry and electronics industry, once you miss this opportunity, in the future, you may not be able to achieve such a good publicity effect with more than ten times or dozens of times the money you are now." ”
"Like...... That's true......"
Kenichi Yamada, who was stunned by what Chen Geng said, felt that what Chen Geng said made sense.
