75. Pessimistic Chinese Market

Admittedly, these are all very practical issues. However, Jing Jian is not responsible for attracting investment, and there is no need to argue or show off on such occasions, but there is a question that makes Jing Jian quite curious: "My friend, what do you seem to have overlooked? What you just said is the international market, or rather, mainly the North American market." But what about the Chinese market?"

Picking up a napkin and wiping his mouth, Jenson smiled wryly and shook his head: "There is no hope, at least in the short term." My friend, I have thought about this for a long time, and I also want to get things done, so this time I also focused on the Chinese market. However, the results are pessimistic. Frankly, if it were up to me, I wouldn't hesitate to give up this investment. ”

"Oh, give up the investment?" Jing Jian was even more curious, "If it's convenient, can you tell me what you investigated?"

In his previous life, Jing Jianyi was directly exposed to the propaganda of reform and opening up, what foreign capital flocked to, what artificial cheap, what optimistic about the Chinese market, and what win-win...... , it's all good things anyway. I really don't understand the mentality of those foreign businessmen who first entered China to invest. This time there happened to be such an opportunity, and he wanted to hear it, understand it, or at least it could be regarded as a rising insight.

Jensen took a sip of white wine and shrugged, "There's nothing to hide, I can't decide anything anyway." Let's start with our investment plan. We are with Ryder Machinery Company as the core, and we ...... "introduced for more than ten minutes," ...... So don't look at the twelve, our total investment is not huge, and it is claimed to be 16 million US dollars. ”

"External claims?" Jing Jian glanced at Jensen, saw him smiling strangely, and immediately understood, it was definitely not this amount, it was just a statement of external propaganda, that is, what can often be seen in the news in the future - how many investment intentions have been signed by a certain foreign businessman. As for how much to invest? God knows!

Looking at Jing Jian's face and finding that there was no change, Jensen smiled very slyly: "I used to be a soldier, and I met by accident, I thought you were an official of a certain department of the Chinese government, and I came to approach." But I really don't care, I really can't decide anything. It's just to be honest about your opinion, or you can't change anything. ”

"Oh!" Jing Jian nodded, not at all surprised by Jensen's suspicions, "Actually, I'm just a student. I am in college. ”

"Is this your government's benefit?"

"It didn't meet that standard. Jing Jian smiled and shook his head, "I took the test myself." ”

Jensen didn't continue on this topic, maybe he really didn't care, and got down to business: "Maybe you don't know our agreement very well. We are going to build a factory in Haijin City, where there is a port, close to the capital. However, your government only allows joint ventures, and stipulates that they have to hold shares, so they will take half of each one, and we will have 49.5%, but we have promised to have full management. ”

"In fact, there is no controlling stake in such a share distribution, and if your policy changes, we will be very passive. By the way, Jing, I'm a businessman now, and although I have the promise of your government, I believe in contracts more. Let's not talk about this, all the money invested by your government is converted in kind. It's a lot of land, and there are a few factories and workers who stayed in the 19th century. God, in my eyes, I don't know how that old guy from Ryder Machinery would agree. ”

"Uh-huh!" Jing Jian nodded. It is impossible to comment on the special policies of this era and will not comment at all. But it's also secretly funny, even if it's industrial land, even if it's in the suburbs of Haijin, as long as they get those lands, Jensen and them will lose money every year, as long as they survive until the new century, with the value of these lands, they can completely make them collectively crazy.

Jensen's conversation became more and more intense: "Actually, I understand what those old guys think. With the investment contract, you can get tax rebate subsidies, as well as those government-guaranteed concessional loans, which will give our businesses in North America ample capital. Oh my God, don't they know about the vampires on Wall Street? I can leave that alone, but if you want me to manage it, you can't watch the businesses here go bankrupt, right?"

"Won't it be that exaggerated, right? Frank, can't you even maintain your estimate?" Jing Jian was taken aback. Not to mention the crazy worship of foreign brands by the Chinese people at this time, even if they follow the step-by-step process, the Chinese market can completely feed them. After all, there are simply too many blank spaces in the market.

"Okay, let's talk about the results of my calculations. According to your regulations, most of the factory's products need to be re-sold, and this part, with small profits or no profits, or even poor control, will lose slightly. Other products can be sold in your China, but the selling price may be two to three times higher than that of your products based on cost accounting. Jing, you should understand that we are not a big brand like General Electric, and we do not have the unique technology that they have mastered. And I also found out that although you are very backward, the same products are still available, so who will buy them?"

"......" Jing Jian was speechless, and his expression was even more indescribable. At this time, these foreign brands are really rushing to buy and buy at a high price. It's a complete violation of some business common sense. But how can he explain it to Jensen? and can't say that he is a reborn?

"Also, even if we make money, we're completely useless. With a bunch of your renminbi, you can only find a way to exchange it in Hong Kong at a low price. And I've heard that you're all going to take back Hong Kong, so are we going to make a bunch of waste paper back? Jing, in fact, I really hope that you are your government official, and if you can solve these problems, then there is still hope. Otherwise......"

Jing Jian nodded, the foreign exchange problem is indeed a difficult problem, and it can't be said that Jensen is at fault. As the dessert was served, Jing Jian frowned and fell into deep thought......

At the end of the song, the two politely applauded and thanked them, while the female pianist smiled and bowed. Jenson called the waiter, gave him a few vouchers, signaled that it was a tip for the violinist and the waiter, and instructed, "Please come in from the young lady outside the door, arrange the seat next to her, and bring her coffee and dessert." Keep my account. It turned out that Jensen had also spotted the female translator outside the door.

Jing Jian suddenly asked, "Frank, if there is a chance to make this investment successful, what will you do?"

"Of course I'm happy. Jensen replied without hesitation, "These guys all feel that coming to China is like coming to hell." It's just me...... Hey. Tell you quietly, in fact, many of their families will not come over important people, and it is likely that I will take care of them. At most, I will invite a few more Chinese to Hong Kong. ”
