"So that's the case!" Xu Zhi thought for a while and smiled: "Secretary Huang, don't wait for the future, there is still a project that can be cooperated?"

Huang Daohan asked, "What project?"

Xu Zhi said: "A few days ago in the capital, I promised the Ministry of the Fourth Machinery to build a household appliance factory in the mainland, this factory will be in accordance with the current foreign investment joint venture law, joint venture with the government, the products are mainly used for export and domestic sales, if Secretary Huang wants, this factory can be placed in Shanghai." ”

"Household appliances, isn't it just color televisions?" asked Huang Daohan.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, but it's still mainly color TVs, and the others are refrigerators, fans and air conditioners." ”

"I don't know how big the scale is?" asked Huang Daohan, which is the most important thing.

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "In terms of specific aspects, we still need to discuss with the Fourth Machine Department, but Secretary Huang can rest assured that the scale will not be too small." ”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Xu. Huang Daohan said with a smile. Although I didn't get an exact answer, it was enough to get a collaborative project at the first meeting.

After being full of wine and food, they casually chatted about some international events, and Secretary Huang and others got up to say goodbye.

Secretary Huang stood up and said, "Mr. Xu, tomorrow morning the people from the American Mark Company will arrive in Shanghai, and the municipal government will hold a reception dinner in the evening, I hope Mr. Xu can also participate!"

"No problem. Xu Zhi nodded in agreement.

Out of the private room, Secretary Huang beckoned to a 30-year-old middle-aged man and said to Xu Zhi: "Mr. Xu, this is my secretary Wang Weide, he will stay in the Peace Hotel during this time, and he will live on the same floor as you, if there is anything, you can directly order him." ”

"Hello, Mr. Xu. Wang Weide took the initiative to shake hands and said, "Just call me Xiao Wang." ”

"Don't dare, Mr. Wang is too polite. Xu Zhi replied with a smile, the secretary of the senior official in Shanghai may not be high, but the power and interpersonal relationship are very strong, it is difficult to say this kind of thing in politics, the official may not be big now, but he may be a big man in the future.

With Xu Zhi's status, he doesn't need to care now, but some basic respect is still there, and he can't really call a person who is older than himself "Xiao Wang"!

Wang Weide smiled: "Thank you Mr. Xu." ”

"Mr. Xu, that's goodbye!" Xu Zhi sent Huang Daohan and the others to the door before returning to the guest room.

......

The next morning, when the flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai landed at Hongqiao Airport, the delegation of the Mark Company was ceremoniously received by the city government officials, and the directors of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce went to several places, and then the group was also arranged to go to the Peace Hotel.

"How is it, are you tired?" Xu Zhi handed over a bottle of Coke and said with a smile.

"It's okay, I've slept on the plane and I'm not very sleepy now. He Jun took the cola and said.

Xu Zhi sat down and said: "Lao He, you have just arrived in Shanghai today, except for the reception dinner held by the municipal government in the evening, you will have a good rest at other times, and the formal negotiations will begin after tomorrow, you should have also studied the current policies and laws of the mainland, I have helped you solve the biggest problem of foreign exchange balance, and other aspects have to rely on you." ”

He Jun is Xu Zhi selected from within the Mark company, the future will be the head of the Shanghai factory, he was originally the highest position within the Mark company, has been in the sales department as the deputy director of sales, Xu Zhi acquired the Mark company, did not rush to promote the position of the Chinese inside, but investigated all the circumstances, now invest in the mainland, the promotion of He Jun is also a matter of course.

He Jun is an authentic American, born in the United States since he was a child, but because he grew up in Chinatown, he can also speak fluent Chinese, plus the university is a law major, even if he does not understand technology, but sending it to management is the best choice.

He Jun asked: "Then I don't know what aspects I want to pay attention to in the follow-up negotiations?"

Xu Zhidao: "First, or the principle of the issue, you represent our company, we must consider the maximization of interests, all the current domestic products are determined by the plan, you must plan the maximum sales for the joint venture, it is best to use data to determine, or how much our sales need to account for in the country." ”

In the era of planned economy, even if you produce a bunch of high-quality and low-cost products, but there is no strip on it, don't think about leaving the factory for that screw, and now determine the specific data or proportion, just to avoid trouble in the future.

He Jun nodded and said, "Understood." ”

Xu Zhi said: "I have discussed with the First Machinery Department, we will provide some technical support, but in return, the mainland government will also directly purchase a batch of heavy trucks or other products from the Mark headquarters factory in the United States, you also have to consider the maximization of benefits, the American factory is not good at economic efficiency now, with this order, life will be much better." ”

He Jun also wrote down the incident in his notebook.

Xu Zhi continued: "Third, some principled issues should not touch the bottom line of the mainland, which is the most important thing. ”

He Jun asked, "What is the question of principle?"

Xu Zhi said: "It is realized in the whole mainland, and the most suitable place for investment is Shenhai City, which is why I put the electronics factory there, but the automotive industry is different, it needs strong industrial support, and the whole mainland is the most suitable for investment in Shanghai, but this is the core area of the mainland, and there will be many differences from Western values in terms of law."

For example, the current law in the mainland states that workers cannot be dismissed without breaking the law, which is probably difficult for you to accept, right?"

It is said that in Shanghai, a group of educated youths returned to the city, and the government provided a number of workers' posts and police posts, and as a result, the selection of workers was elated, while those who were selected as police officers were listless and ridiculed by the former.

In an era when the workers were the masters of the country, the dismissal of the workers by foreign capitalists was a major event.

He Jun frowned and nodded: "Indeed, this kind of regulation is very unfriendly to the factory, if the workers are messing around every day, but we can't deal with it, it will be a big trouble, not only the person himself, but also the whole group." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Yes, there is no pension insurance policy in the mainland like in Europe and the United States, that is to say, workers need factories to provide for the elderly, what does this make you think of?"

He Jun replied: "UAW? This is the same problem as the three major American auto giants, it is nothing in a short period of time, but after a long time, there will be a big problem." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "So I have a plan here, you can consider it?"

He Jun asked, "Mr. Xu, please speak?"

Xu Zhidao: "Regarding the inability to fire or even punish employees, we can sign an agreement with the government, and the workers we use do not directly belong to our company, all of them are borrowed from other state-owned enterprise employees, so that we can also solve the problem of pension responsibility at the same time, we only need to pay these state-owned enterprises a certain amount of money every month."

And if the employee does not perform well, we can also return it to the original company, which is not considered dismissal and avoids breaking the law. ”
