Director Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, have you heard of ODA loans in Japan?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"ODA loan is a kind of foreign aid loan proposed by the Japanese government in the early years, which is specifically aimed at low-income countries with a per capita GDP of less than 800 US dollars, and the loan interest is very low, generally about 1%, and the repayment time is long, and even only the interest can be repaid first. Director Health explained.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "When you say this, I have some impressions, but I don't know the details very well, and this kind of loan is accepted in China?"

Director Wei said: "Yes, in 79 years my country and the Japanese government signed a total of 50 billion yen ODA loan agreement for the construction of a railway from Shanxi to Qinhuangdao and the expansion of Qinhuangdao wharf, so that China can transport a large amount of coal from Shanxi overseas to earn foreign exchange, and Japan because of the lack of energy, an additional import channel can also ensure its national energy security." ”

Xu Zhidao: "This kind of cooperation seems to be good, each takes what he needs. ”

Director Wei smiled: "It's not that simple, this kind of ODA loan has very low interest, or even no interest, but the Japanese government also has its shrewdness, first of all, this kind of loan is for designated project investment, and after using the loan, a large number of core equipment or orders for the project must be purchased from Japanese companies." ”

"It's normal. Xu Zhi said, no country is a fool, to support your construction, of course you have to buy our country's products, after the mainland government has money, there are often some loan aid projects, the requirements are actually similar.

"Yes, it's actually nothing to buy supplies, it's just an international practice, but at that time we also signed another agreement, because the success of this loan was helped by several major Japanese electrical appliance companies, so at that time we promised the Japanese government to open up some household appliances market. Director Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But we never thought that the price of electrical appliances in Japan is so expensive, but it is still so popular in China, but last year, the country lost 30 million US dollars in this matter."

Because an agreement has already been signed with the Japanese side, if it is forcibly breached, it is only afraid that it will cause diplomatic disputes, so the introduction of advanced Western technology and domestic production is the best way to solve this matter, and the Japanese side has nothing to say about fair competition. ”

"Even if Japanese products can enter China, they should be in the Friendship Store, right?"

Director Wei explained: "It's true, but many people have some overseas connections, or through special channels, they can get foreign exchange coupons, and if these foreign exchange coupons buy domestic goods, they will eventually flow into the national treasury, but if they buy Japanese electrical appliances, they can only cheapen Japanese companies in the end." ”

"That's just as well. Xu Zhi also understood,If Midea's color TV is produced in China,Because of the foreign exchange balance policy,Even if the domestic market is opened,Although it will have an impact on local brands,But after all, there will be no loss of foreign exchange。

But Japan's electrical appliances are different, they are completely produced in Japan, and then sold to the mainland, and the real foreign exchange is consumed.

Xu Zhi asked: "Commonly used household appliances include color TVs, refrigerators and air conditioners, although our Midea company is involved in them, but in addition to color TVs, the other two technical backgrounds are not good. ”

Director Wei smiled: " This Mr. Xu rest assured, air conditioning needless to say, this thing because of the high cost, power consumption, the lack of electricity in China is serious, not to mention civilian, even government departments are rarely used, refrigerators are in demand a lot, but it is not the same as color TV, as long as it can be frozen, compared to the high price of Japanese refrigerators, although the domestic brand is almost, but much cheaper, in this regard, although Japanese refrigerators also have a certain sales, but the proportion is not high, mainly color TV, too popular, even if we use some measures, but still can not stop the huge loss of foreign exchange。 ”

"That's right. Xu Zhi nodded and said,The biggest factor in color TV is visual appliances,Good color TV stimulates people's senses greatly,Refrigerators are different,As long as you're not bad,It doesn't matter if it's almost,Even if it's broken, buy a new one,It's much cheaper than buying foreign products。

The products pursued by people in each era are different.

In the 21st century, the pursuit of houses, the pursuit of cars in the 90s, and the pursuit of color TVs and radios in the 80s.

In his previous life, Xu Zhi had heard that someone in the 80s spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy a high-definition imported color TV, and at this price he could buy a small façade in Yuezhou City at that time.

Xu Zhi asked again: "Is Director Wei sure that once our company's products enter the mainland market, is the share of 500,000 units really enough?"

Director Wei smiled: "This is just an approximation, as long as the joint venture company can maintain a foreign exchange balance, the more sales, the better." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Foreign exchange balance is not a problem, but I also have another request?"

Director Wei smiled: "Mr. Xu, please speak." ”

"In addition to color TVs, I hope that my refrigerators, air conditioners, fans and other products can also enter the mainland market. Xu Zhi said: "Of course, these will also be produced domestically, and the foreign exchange balance is not a problem." ”

Director Wei thought for a while and said, "According to the policy, this should not be a problem. ”

Xu Sheng continued: "One more thing, not to mention the joint venture, the production base that Midea plans to build in Shenhai City will generate a huge foreign exchange surplus every year, and I have already discussed with the First Machinery Department to build a truck manufacturing plant in Shanghai, hoping to merge the two companies to form a foreign exchange balance." ”

"I've heard about it. Director Wei thought for a while and said, "The two companies belong to different departments, and if Mr. Xu wants to do this, he must agree to the central government." ”

"I understand, I'm actually just trying to get a result in the past few days in the capital. Xu Zhi said with a smile: "As long as the central government agrees, I will quickly arrange a team to negotiate the specific details, and ask the director of health to bring a word for me, I am very much looking forward to this cooperation, and I hope that the cooperation can be successful as soon as possible." ”

For Western giants who do not know the future, they naturally refuse to let go of the slightest detail during the negotiation, which is indeed safe, but it will also delay time.

But Xu Zhi knows that in the future, as long as he can enter the mainland market as soon as possible, everything is not a problem, you know, in this era, foreign policy changes every few years, and it is all in a good direction, even if there are various difficulties now, but maybe when the factory is built, some policies will solve the problem.

Director Wei smiled and said: "Mr. Xu is straightforward, if our foreign cooperation is a person like Mr. Xu, the country's work will be much easier!"

Xu Zhi smiled, suddenly thought of something again, and said, "Director Wei, the ODA loan we just talked about, is it necessary to repay the yen if you borrow yen?"

Director Wei was a little puzzled and said, "What's the matter, isn't it like this when you borrow money?"

Xu Zhidao: "Under normal circumstances, this is a problem, but if the yen appreciates on a large scale, what will happen?"

"Mr. Xu thinks the yen will appreciate in the future?" Director Wei also knows some basic financial knowledge, and he also knows the consequences of appreciation, which means that he has to pay back more money, which will cause huge losses to the country.
