Chapter 646: The Great Strategic Shift
Jing Jian thought that the automobile factory project would never go wrong, and he was even ready to make the greatest profits, but his starting point was not in terms of the success and profitability of the project. However, it was the least likely thing to go wrong, and this time it went wrong.
From Dong Zerui's introduction, Jing Jian learned that the negotiations at the beginning were quite smooth. At this moment, however, a proposal was put forward -- why should we make a joint venture with that company in Hong Kong? Wouldn't it be imported directly from the Soviet Union?
It should be said that the reasons of these people are very strong. Since the Soviet Government is willing to come up with the equipment and technology of the automobile factory, it is better to directly import it as a project of the two governments! China is not short of renminbi, and the Soviet side should be able to accept the use of Chinese goods at a discount. Based on the old Soviet-aided plant of the Second Automobile, a joint venture plant was built in Yun'an. In this way, Jing Jian's side will be skipped, and the equity of both China and the Soviet Union can be greatly increased.
And the focus of the negotiations will no longer exist. The high sales price can be guaranteed, and the localization rate fund will also be controlled in the hands of the Ministry of Machinery. Even if it is convenient for state-owned enterprises to ask for money, they can more or less allow the state to allocate more funds, and they will not have the current 30 million yuan, and the target is at least 30 or 500 million yuan, right? As for other ......, what to upgrade the truck industry, ensure the appreciation of state-owned assets, and so on, these are already small reasons that are not worth mentioning.
In fact, this is a kind of counterattack by the inherent forces of the domestic automotive industry. Ensure that the truck industry is still monopolized by a few factories, and ensure that outsiders are blocked. Of course, they used a high-sounding reason - the national interest!
Jing Jian already understood as soon as he heard that he had encountered the legendary "sudden death". This is simply impossible to strive for, and whatever you do, you will encounter colored glasses in all aspects. Do you still want to do anything about the interests of the country? Since you can't even eat mutton, then it's an idiot to get into trouble.
And from Dong Zerui's words, we know that the Ministry of Machinery has been inclined to this suggestion, and Yun'an City is of course "moving closer to the central government", and even the Soviet Union is a little moved, and even Dong Zerui is mainly to persuade Jing Jian, to let him "focus on the overall situation". It should be said that almost all of them support this program. It's just that a formal agreement has not yet been reached, so Zhao Xin and others are just dragged at the negotiation table.
......
For a moment, Jing Jian's head was a little dizzy. Loans of more than a billion rubles are gone, the channels for the legal import of Soviet and Eastern European materials are gone, and even the "combination punch" that was prepared at the time of the collapse of the USSR is gone. This large loss ...... Jing Jian wanted to scold his mother.
However, when I looked at it, I found that Zhao Xia was looking at herself worriedly, and even Panpan was standing in front of her with the doll in her arms, staring at herself with wide eyes. Jing Jian smiled dumbly, it was nothing more than making less money, so what could he talk about loss? Isn't his own money enough?
Jing Jian smiled and comforted: "Look at you, what are you nervous about? It's just a piece of cake." Panpan, let me play with your doll, okay?"
“......”
In fact, of course, it is not as easy as Jing Jian said. After reconfirming the news, Jing Jian simply terminated the negotiations: "Zhao Gong, yes, inform the Chinese side that the negotiations are over, and we will abandon this project." ...... It's not a pause, it's an abandonment! This project is stopped...... Why? You can ask the Chinese negotiators, and they should know why. ...... Zhao Gong, your personal treatment is guaranteed to remain unchanged, and you will be arranged for a new job......"
It's finally clean now. For a while, Jing Jian suddenly had no big projects at hand, but he was a little unaccustomed to it. There are a lot of concerned calls, the first is Liu Kai from Hong Kong: "Dajing, why did the automobile factory suddenly stop doing it?"
"It's okay!" Jing Jian thought about it at this time, and I was fortunate to get it and lose my life!" "Brother Kai, isn't there still a steel plant project? But this time, I won't engage in any Sino-foreign joint ventures, and find ways to be private. ”
"Eh?" Liu Kai felt very sorry, "Are you retreating?" I know a few friends, do you want them to help deliver the message?"
"No, no, no. Jing Jian smiled and declined, "Twisted melons are not sweet, especially in this situation." We can indeed trust the relationship, and we can indeed work harder, and even throw off our hands and start our own stove, and let the automobile factory project be launched first. But the sequelae of this are too great, first of all, it is to offend all the people. Anyway, let's wait for the future, and in a few years the opportunity is right, and you can start again. If there is no suitable opportunity, then move on to other industries. There is never enough money to be made in this world!"
......
For Jing Jian, fame is much more important than making money. He was originally carrying out these big projects for the sake of China's industrial upgrading, and since he didn't need it, there was no need to force it. If you work hard to succeed in the project, but in the end you have to bear the infamy of "embezzling state property," isn't that going to be so angry that you vomit blood?
However, the huge amount of money in Jing Jian's hands could not be idle, so he began a "strategic shift".
Throughout February, several of Jingjian's major investment companies made frequent moves, increasing their shares and staking shares in eight high-tech companies in the United States, including Microsoft and Cisco, becoming their top major shareholders, spending a total of more than $68 million. and acquired a small game company for $4.2 million and renamed it Seed Games;
In China, Tangshan's private enterprise Dafeng Iron and Steel Plant has "overseas financing" of 62.8 billion yen and domestic loans of more than 84 million yuan, and will purchase major production equipment from Japan's Hirata Foundation for the first phase of ironmaking, steelmaking and continuous casting projects, while others will be purchased from domestic equipment manufacturers. On the day of the ribbon cutting, almost all the main leaders of Tangshan attended the ceremony, which really made Xiaozhong a scene;
In Japan, it acquired the fourth largest cinema chain at a price of 27.4 billion yen and changed its name to Seed (Japan) Cinema Line;
In Australia, at a price of 87 million Australian dollars, from the Williams family to buy a 53% stake in AKR company, and in the Australian Stock Exchange to invest more than 110 million Australian dollars, the company has two amazing reserves of rich iron ore in the Australian inland Midobek Mountains, but sadly, due to the weak international iron ore prices, the Williams family simply cannot afford to invest in huge infrastructure, and can not find other buyers, so they can only resell to Jing Jian. Jing Jian also promised the Australian local government to invest a total of 2.37 billion Australian dollars in the construction of roads, railways and terminals at the mine over the next 10 years.
