Chapter 681 Approach
Lighting a cigarette for Jing Jian, Kent asked, "Sir, what should those suppliers do?" If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid we'll slowly lose the initiative in our dealings with suppliers. ”
The management meeting has ended, and only Jing Jian and Kent are left, so Kent's words are much more straightforward.
Jing Jian did not hide it from his confidant: "Kent, let's talk to you about the funds first, there are some things that you can easily deal with after you understand." You may have seen that I have built three new projects in China - automobile plants, steel plants and petrochemical plants, which take up too much money at once, and this stage is indeed the most tight time for funds. ”
Kent immediately showed a worried expression: "Sir, if you don't talk about this, I also want to tell you, how can you ......?
Jing Jian understood what Kent meant. Whether it is an automobile plant, a petrochemical plant or a steel plant, all of them are heavy industrial projects with large investments. Generally, even if you invest in a certain factory, you may have to vomit blood, but now Jing Jian has invested in three at once, and no matter how big the business is, the capital will also be quite tight.
Jing Jian smiled slightly and explained: "Kent, you don't understand China's national conditions. It is generally difficult for the Chinese government to open up heavy industry projects, and if you give up this opportunity, it may take years to re-enter in the future, or even lose such an opportunity altogether. ”
Jing Jian did not explain the factors behind the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the reasons for this should be enough anyway. Seeing that Ken nodded in understanding, Jing Jian continued: "Anyway, I am bound to win these three projects, and they have all signed contracts, so it is impossible to change them. But you should know that I'm just temporarily short of funds, and only by relieving this breath will there be no problem before the end of the year. ”
"I believe this, I believe this. Kent nodded again, but his concern seemed even greater, "Sir...... I would like to ask, is it really okay for European companies to have so many East German marks in their hands?"
Kent knew that Jing Jian's biggest reserve fund was the European branch, and it was nothing before, anyway, the funds of the Standard Group could still be turnover, but now it seems that he is betting on the reunification of the two Germanys, and Kent is obviously a little flustered.
Jing Jian smiled, understanding that this was Kent's kindness. Some things are difficult to explain, even if you say that you are a reborn, then someone has to believe it?
After thinking about it, Jing Jian said: "Kent, in fact, the supplier issue you mentioned just now is very important, but there are some things that can only be known to you and me. ”
"You command, sir. Kent's eyes lit up, he had always admired Jing Jian's wonderful methods.
Jing Jian took a puff of his cigarette: "Since those suppliers have jumped out, is it enough to teach a lesson? We need business partners, not those rebels, so what I mean is to cut off all cooperation in the future." ”
"But at present, this is absolutely not possible, even if you say that the lesson is not good, the meaning of punishment is too obvious, which will make other suppliers anxious, if it causes a crisis of trust, or even a large area of suppliers do not supply, our losses will be even greater. ”
"So in public, as I said in the meeting – it's business as usual. And then our relationship is still exactly the same as before, not too distant, but also not too affectionate, just strict with a simple commercial contract. ”
"In the future, we will slowly find alternative suppliers and gradually kick them out of the standard sales system. I have an idea for this, and it can temporarily solve the current financial constraints. ”
"Great. Kent smiled, "I knew you had a way, sir." ”
"Huh. Jing Jian nodded to Ken's characteristics, "In fact, what we lack is hard currency such as the US dollar, and we do not lack those East German marks or renminbi in the former socialist countries." First of all, I ordered that part of the payment be deferred, that is, through the part of the Skull Sea in Hong Kong that part of the Chinese goods export. In fact, that part of the payment has been basically paid, in RMB, so there is no major problem in the execution of the contract. ”
For Jing Jian, in addition to the conventional ones, the current suppliers of the Standard Group are mainly those purchased after the Taiwan stock market makes money, and the other ones are ordered by the Canton Fair's 10 billion orders.
This part of the payment has actually been paid, but it needs to be transferred from the Standard Group to the Sea of Skulls for internal accounting reasons, which is nothing more than a change of right hand from left to right, which is equivalent to Jing Jian's capital injection into the Standard Group in disguise.
Of course, in this way, the standard group is guaranteed, and the impact on the Skull Sea is quite large, at least when the bank loans, the Skull Sea will not be able to provide enough flow, and it is also impossible to get so many loans.
However, in the current situation, it is still worth sacrificing the Sea of Skulls.
Jing Jian continued: "In terms of external publicity, Standard Group still needs to publicize and expand vigorously. However, the focus of the expansion is on China, anyway, we do not lack RMB, and we use RMB, which can be converted into US dollars externally, and this is the benefit of privatizing our company. ”
Thanks to CCTV advertising, Jing Jian's companies in the mainland are now selling hot, as if they were printing money, bringing huge cash flow. Jing Jianzheng was worried about how to use the yuan. In addition to digesting some of the three major projects, this time we are also going to digest a large part of it in the standard group.
Jing Jian concluded: "We also slow down when looking for suppliers, and at the moment we don't have as many supply channels as possible. Increase the proportion of Chinese mainland goods, and give priority to signing contracts with Chinese manufacturers who accept RMB. And those suppliers looking for alternative Chinese manufacturers, this must be given priority. ”
Kent understood: "Don't worry, sir, these are on me. I promise to keep you satisfied. ”
"This must be kept secret in the company, and you personally preside over this matter. ”
"Understood, sir. ”
Temporarily solving the current problem, Jing Jian was somewhat relaxed: "Kent, I have always wanted you to get out of specific affairs, and I will be in charge of the decision-making department in the future, but I didn't expect that the Standard Group is still inseparable from you for the time being." ”
"Nothing, nothing. Kent didn't care about that, or he couldn't let go of managing the company, "Sir, for some reason, I feel younger and younger with you." ”
Jing Jian laughed: "Kent, you have to give young people opportunities, mainly to give little William a chance." ”
Thinking of his most proud son, Kent couldn't help but smile......
