Chapter 141: Messina of the Foundry
Zhou Ming quickly got the answer, and the day after arranging the technical reserve department, Zhou Ming came to the company, and Valentine and Nie Peier hurriedly found Zhou Ming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Chairman, yesterday I had tried to contact some banks as you ordered, but none of the more than 60 commercial banks, including Bankman Bank, were willing to provide loan support for our 'find customers' program. Neppelle said.
Zhou Ming knew that this 'find customers' plan was actually the plan they talked about yesterday to provide loans to consumers to buy phones, mobile phones and computers.
"With the current economic situation in Mexico, most banks will choose to withdraw funds and tighten the monetary base, after all, this is the best way for banks to survive the crisis. In addition, if it is a low-risk loan, such as the small consumer loan we offer, it is still relatively high-risk, so it is normal for them to be reluctant to provide loans now, which is what I expected. ”
Zhou Ming said to Valentine and Niebpel, but there is one thing that Zhou Ming did not say, that is, about the intervention of the Maronite church, after all, the church controls Mexico through capital, and it is impossible to say that it does not have the right to speak in the bank.
And if they have the right to speak in the bank, then it is logical for the bank, which is already unhappy, to refuse Neppel's inquiry.
"Since the bank is reluctant to provide loans, let's start with the supplier. Zhou Ming looked at Valentine, "You are in charge of this, how is the situation?"
Valentine hesitated: "Chairman, I have contacted ten telecommunications product suppliers as you instructed and invited them to dinner together, but I don't think they will agree with your idea at all, because the current economic situation is very bad, they will need money more than banks, how can they provide customers with installment services? ”
Zhou Ming waved his hand: "It's because we've never had one, so let's give it a try, so let's have a meal with these suppliers first." ”
"But what if they don't agree?" asked Valentine tentatively.
"Then I'll buy their company directly, and I'll do this installment payment myself!" Zhou Ming said, "So there is a thing that the General Affairs Department has been doing, that is, to check the operation of these telecommunications product suppliers, I think with the current economic situation in Mexico, even the Mexican national telecommunications company is in debt, and the situation of those electronics factories will definitely be worse, there is always a boss who wants to sell the factory, right?"
Valentine and Nie Peier were stunned at that time, and looked at Zhou Ming incredulously, those electronic product suppliers were not willing to pay in installments and directly bought their factory, this chairman is too domineering, right?
Zhou Mingke didn't care what kind of shock his words brought to Valentine and Nie Peier, and directly waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is settled." ”
At the National Telecom Company, Zhou Ming's decision was tantamount to a mountain of military orders, and then they went their separate ways, and Zhou Ming also left the National Telecom Building after making his decision, and came to the valley in the northwest corner outside Mexico City, which was still a camp for the Indians. Since the last entrance ceremony, the Indians have been leaving in batches according to the agreement with the central government, and today it is the Tucante tribe that is leaving.
To say that Zhou Ming is the most familiar and affectionate, it is undoubtedly this Tukante tribe, and it is precisely because of this that Zhou Ming has been very busy these days and has no time to send these Indians, but today the Tukante tribe is leaving, Zhou Ming feels that he still needs to come here.
After half an hour's drive, Zhou Ming finally came to the gate of the Indian camp, where the warriors of the Tucante tribe lined up at the gate like the day of the entrance ceremony, but they were more neat and energetic than that day, and their chief Flegg was standing at the door, dressed in military uniform, obviously waiting for Zhou Ming's arrival.
"My friends from the Tukant tribe are very sorry that I am late. Zhou Ming got out of the car and said.
When Zhou Ming's words fell, all the Indians of the Tukante tribe bowed down to Zhou Ming without warning.
This sudden situation startled Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming didn't understand what was going on at all, until Flegg explained to him: "Great Chief, it was you who brought the Tucante tribe from the mountains and forests of Pansas to Mexico City, it was you who led us to win the Battle of Yutanka, and it was you who made us gain the respect of the whole world, and you are the Great Chief we will always respect the most!"
"So Great Chief, you don't need to apologize to us at all, because we are here to meet you with our neatest queue of our own voluntarily!" Flegg added, "If we do choose to apologize, then we also apologize to you, High Chief, because we know you are busy, and we want you to waste a day seeing us off." ”
Zhou Ming was really touched by these kind Indians, and knew that no matter whether he entered the Indian tribe or led them to the Indian Revolution, in the final analysis, he wanted to use them to help him return to Mexico City.
It was a road paved with blood, and even so many Indians died in Yutanka......
In the final analysis, Zhou Ming actually felt guilty about these Indians, but he didn't expect that these Indians still trusted and respected themselves so much, and regarded themselves as their saviors, which couldn't help but be touching.
"If that's your way of expressing your feelings, I think I'll be okay with that, but you can get up. ”
Zhou Ming first persuaded these Indians, and then he said: "I believe that with this Indian Revolution, life in Pansas will be much better in the future, and you will no longer become a serf, of course, if you have any problems, you can contact me at any time, Chief Fleg, don't lose your mobile phone, it is the most convenient contact tool." ”
Zhou Ming's words were ridiculous, but Flegg and the other Tucante Indians couldn't laugh at all, he just bowed to Zhou Ming very seriously: "Thank you very much Great Chief Zhou Ming, if the Great Chief encounters trouble in Mexico City in the future, please contact us, all our Indians will always be the strongest backing of the Great Chief!"
After saying these words to Zhou Ming, Flegg left with the Indians of his tribe, and Zhou Ming also smiled bitterly at this time: "I didn't expect these guys to know that I was using them at the beginning, and I didn't expect that they knew my purpose, but they were still willing, I really don't know if they said I was noble, or I said that they were noble." ”
After sending off the Indians, another day passed quickly, and at noon the next day, Valentine took Zhou Ming to the Leyte Castle Restaurant, which is one of the most luxurious restaurants on Reform Boulevard, and is usually chosen for business dinners between companies.
With Zhou Ming's financial support, Valentine booked the most luxurious private room in the Leyte Castle restaurant, which was decorated according to the real castle pattern in Europe, and it was also a real aristocratic chef for cooking.
"Chairman, the time we agreed on is twelve o'clock at noon, you can come back at about eleven fifty o'clock, you don't need to be so early, I'll just wait here before." Valentine followed Zhou Ming to sit in the box, and then said to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming shook his head and said to Valentine: "You remember, I am not here casually, but a kind of respect for the customer! If I hadn't come so early in person, that kind of trick would have been easily exposed, and it would have been even more embarrassing." ”
Valentine didn't understand this, but he didn't ask anymore.
The agreed twelve o'clock came soon, but there were still only Valentine and Zhou Ming in the box, and none of the suppliers of Valentin were present, which made Valentin a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, maybe they all have their own things to deal with temporarily, it's all normal things in the mall. Zhou Ming said.
At this time, he asked Zhou Ming to comfort him, and Valentine couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Chairman, why don't I call and ask about the situation?" asked Valentine tentatively.
Zhou Ming waved his hand and said: "There is no need for this, the one who should come will naturally come, and there is no way to come if he can't." ”
Zhou Ming actually knew very well in his heart that since Limus and the church could greet the bank, then naturally they would also greet these suppliers, with their intelligence capabilities, Zhou Ming didn't think he could hide it from them.
Of course, if they were to place an order, these merchants might have taken the risk, but they must have known that they might be talking about installments, and maybe installments would be a common thing in later generations, but in Mexico in this era, this is still a crazy thing that no one has ever tried, so they are not willing to take risks.
Now people's thinking is simple: you want to get the goods before you get the money? Are you kidding?
So Zhou Ming and Valentine waited here for another half an hour before someone came to the box under the leadership of the waiter.
"It turned out to be Mr. Messina from the Chihuahua Electronics Factory, and you are very welcome to come!"
Seeing someone coming, Valentine was immediately so happy that he was about to jump up, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, knowing that he was about to be driven crazy by the atmosphere in the box, although Zhou Ming didn't blame him, he still couldn't forgive himself after all.
Listening to Valentine's words, Zhou Ming immediately searched for the other party's information in his mind, which was what Valentine had told him before.
This Chihuahua electronics factory is a relatively large electronics production enterprise in Mexico, which was created by Messina, but there is no brand advantage, and his production orders are more for other electronic brands in contemporary factories.
It's a good supplier, but it doesn't seem to be that easy to handle.
Zhou Ming looked the man up and down and frowned slightly.
