Chapter 187: The Theory of Wild Geese
Charles looked at the invitation and asked, "Is this your new company?"
Charles and Brian have a close personal relationship, and Fan Yang is not surprised that Charles knows his basic information.
"It's the same company, but it's moved to an office location, and I want to invite you to participate, and you know, it's a great honor for me to be here. β
"It's also an honor for me, thank you for inviting me, my Chinese friend, but I can only participate privately, I can't represent the club, can you understand?"
"Thank you, that's such an honor. β
Charles was so refreshing, Fan Yang really didn't expect it.
The reception, named Meimei, knocked lightly on the door and brought in two cups of coffee.
Fan Yang smiled and thanked him, took a sip and said, "Actually, this time, there is something I want to ask Mr. Charles, my company is going to carry out some wool and cotton business, what does Mr. Charles think of this idea?"
Charles glanced at Fan Yang in surprise.
"Have you seen Portland?"
Fan Yang said in his heart Sure enough, the British side must have made a big move.
The 90s was a watershed in the wave of economic globalization, the global economy was turbulent, on the one hand, the former Soviet Union collapsed, the economy of Eros completely collapsed, on the other hand, the Plaza Accord made the economy retreat, and in September last year, when Fan Yang was still panning for gold in Zakin Mountain, Soros spent a month blocking the pound, defeating the Bank of England, and accelerating the depreciation process of the pound.
Fight to fame.
In this battle, Soros mobilized a lot of money and finally made a profit of more than $2 billion.
It is worth mentioning that the five countries that signed the Plaza Accord have all been affected by currency appreciation to varying degrees.
Before and after the Plaza Accord, from January 1985 to the end of 1987.
The Deutsche Mark appreciated by %.
The French franc appreciated by the largest percent.
The pound has appreciated.
The value of the Yuan appreciated by 235%.
Countries are dealing with this appreciation crisis in different ways.
At that time, Ben put forward the theory of the flying geese, just like the wild geese, to be the head goose of the Asian economy.
The Asian Three Tigers are his wild goose, followed by China and Southeast Asia.
But what is the reason for his doom?
Politics is subject to the United States, and human resources and markets are subject to China, so he is destined not to be the head goose in Asia.
And what about Germany?
He was also affected by the appreciation of the currency, exports fell, but the appreciation of the dividends, he did not invest in real estate and financial markets, but really vigorously develop manufacturing, and actively expand overseas markets, this correct decision, but let the German economy further development, and back to the first position in Europe.
Britain is embarrassed.
His manufacturing industry was already inferior to Germany's, but he tried to take advantage of the reunification of Germany to replace Germany and insisted on joining the EU's exchange rate system.
Attempts to replace the Deutsche Mark as the dominant player in the European exchange rate system.
I can't stand it for two years.
In the end, it had to choose the depreciation of the pound in a recession, just like the original rice country, to boost the manufacturing industry and stimulate exports.
However, because of the wrong economic decisions at the beginning, he joined the European exchange rate system.
So it's just barely holding on.
Soros just saw this embarrassing situation of the British pound, Soros just added fuel to the fire, and within a month, he mobilized 10 billion US dollars of funds, shorted the British pound, shorted the Italian lira, and long the interest rate futures of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the three countries, accelerated the depreciation of the pound, and finally made a profit of 2 billion US dollars.
The sniping of the quantum fund this time, it is difficult to say whether there is support from the United States.
Soros's blitzkrieg mobilized $10 billion in a week, and the British don't believe it if there is no behind-the-scenes support.
The current Britain should be completely disappointed in the United States, and the people's mood is very great.
Any country that is sacked by Soros will mourn.
But the depreciation of the pound has become a fact.
It is urgent to stimulate exports and regain the advantages of the manufacturing industry.
And all of this, in fact, is inseparable from an important name, China.
China has benefited the most.
Because most of the international manufacturing industry has shifted to China.
And everyone knows that whoever masters the manufacturing industry and who becomes the world's factory is a road to a strong country.
The comprehensive liberalization of 92 years is also affected by this series of economic turmoil, and China's attitude is very clear, that is, to undertake the transfer of manufacturing from developed countries.
The New Silk Road project that he heard from Portland's mouth, Fan Yang was understandable.
It is the same as the Belt and Road Initiative, a community with a shared future.
And the forty-eight groups, in Fan Yang's eyes, the positioning is also very clear.
It is to help British businessmen to lay out the Chinese market.
It's like a hub.
It's like Unilever, he has one of his biggest competitors, Procter & Gamble.
Both companies are among the world's leading chemical giants.
Unilever entered the Chinese market in 1986, and in just a few years, it has achieved great success, and in the subsequent development, China has become Unilever's largest profit market, with 6 factories in China, and the establishment of six global R&D centers, and the products are sold to every place in China.
To be produced in China and sold in China, the infrastructure is very complex, and various purchase channels and raw material costs need to be established bit by bit.
In fact, the human and material resources invested by Britain in China are very large.
The procurement and supply alone are enough for Fan Yang to eat with a mouthful of oil.
This is also one of the reasons why Fan Yang targeted Unilever and Tesco from the beginning.
More importantly, the UK is more than just Unilever.
Establish a good relationship with 48 groups, and the opportunities in the future are unlimited.
But Fan Yang knows that it's okay, and there's no need to pick it up.
"Yes, Mr. Bryan introduced me to Mr. Portland, and brought me many prospects for my trade, the first was Mr. Brian, who invited me to Yunnan to take care of his Pu'er tea business, and Mr. Portland, who seemed to be interested in inviting me to Xinyan. β
Charles smiled slightly, he was a fat man, with a pile of fat on his upper and lower bodies, and he didn't look like Brian and Portland's old playfulness, but a bit of a naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve feeling.
It's easy to paralyze people.
"Very good, my Chinese friend, would you like to hear a suggestion from an English friend?"
"Of course, I can't ask for it. β
"This is a good thing, we need a lot of agents in the Chinese market, you can easily become a multimillionaire, but you must be honest, you must be diligent, as a gentleman, you have your own set of guidelines, will not treat any meritorious person, but you also have to pay attention to safety, and you must also protect the safety of Mr. Portland, Mr. Portland's status is noble, if you have financial difficulties, you must tell me in advance, or tell Portland, you must ensure your own safety, and Mr. Portland's safety. β
Forehead.
Fan Yang was slightly stunned.
The word security seems to be an important point.
Fan Yang nodded in agreement.
I took my leave.
Meimei insisted on sending Fan Yang downstairs, and when she saw Fan Yang parked downstairs and the back of the dashing turn, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
When I returned to the company, it was only about 10 o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Wang's driver rushed over: "Mr. Fan, Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhou will arrive at noon, and I will go over to receive them." β
"I'm sorry, I went to an old friend in the morning, and I was delayed for a while, so don't worry, I've arranged it. β
After just two or three days of training, the 20 newly recruited employees quickly entered the working state.
Everyone was fully mobilized.
There are four people in charge of reception, and they have already booked the best hotel in Lianyungang, where to eat, how to pass the time, and have made detailed arrangements.
Shuangshuang and Liu Dingxin learned a lot of things in Hanzhong, and they were also warmly received by the Hanzhong Municipal Party Committee.
Quite insightful.
Everything was well organized.
After the order meeting, a three-day tour was also arranged, and the first day was to visit Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, Jade Girl Peak, and Sanyuan Palace.
On the second day, we will visit Liandao Eagle Mountain, Yuntai Mountain on the sea.
On the third day, we will visit the Lianyungang Port History Museum in the morning and arrange a return trip in the afternoon.
A portable banner was also made.
Fan Yang asked Liu Dingxin to keep an eye on the company, and he took the army, Shuangshuang, and the four employees of the reception team, driving two cars, an Audi and a Santana, to the national highway toll station, pulling up banners and waiting at the intersection.
At half past 12, I finally saw the Audi of the Hanzhong Municipal Party Committee slowly driving out, followed by a Santana.
After seeing the banner that Fan Yang and the others were pulling, the two cars leaned over.
Fan Yang didn't dare to move, and he was still a little nervous in his heart.
Being reborn in this life is much more exciting than the previous life.
Although he had a small amount of assets in his previous life, he made his fortune too late, and he belonged to a trader who made a small fortune in a muffled voice, and he was never met by a municipal official.
If you have to receive it yourself, don't even think about it.
Director Liu sat in the co-pilot of the Audi, opened the door and jumped out as soon as the car stopped, and did not say hello to Fan Yang, but quickly opened the rear door.
A middle-aged man in his fifties with a dignified face stepped out of the car.
The body was slightly blessed, Fan Yang knew, but he had only seen it from a distance, and he had not waited for the meeting of the leader.
This is the deputy head of Zhou in charge of industry in Hanzhong, and his economic attainments are quite profound.
Fan Yang took a step forward, held Deputy Chief Zhou with both hands, and greeted him for a while.
The leaders also greeted and encouraged them cordially.
It's not good to say much else, take Deputy Director Zhou and Director Liu back to the company.
Downstairs naturally stood full of all the staff, hand banners, but also in the corridor to lay out a red carpet, the whole process is warm, grand, at this time the downstairs stage has been built, this time the event is divided into indoor, outdoor, two parts.
Outdoors, a 16-meter-long stage was set up downstairs in the commercial building, and a 16-meter-long giant spray-painted background was erected behind it.
It reads "Dingjunshan Brand Strategy Conference" and "Spring Order Fair"
The small print on the top reads "Divide the Feast of 20 Billion Wealth" in Chinese
At 9 o'clock in the morning, sign in outdoors, cut the ribbon on the stage, make speeches by leaders, and speeches by guests, introducing the situation of Ruitong Planning Foreign Trade Company.
Arrange group meals.
Visit the infield product exhibition area.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the leading guests and the on-site customers were diverted, and the customers were led to the small stage in the infield to hold an on-site order meeting.
Deputy Chief Zhou saw the giant spray painting outside, with the exquisite design logo on it, and nodded frequently.
When he saw the brand design of Dingjun Mountain, he was very satisfied, and Director Liu then submitted a report "Suggestions for the In-depth Development of the Cultural Brand Value of Dingjun Mountain", which was written reasonably and well-founded, and triggered a series of discussions in the municipal party committee.
But after all, I didn't see the results, and this matter has been pressing.
At this time, a giant spray painting with a length of 16 meters and a height of 5 meters stood in front of you.
The design above is beautiful, the image of Zhuge Liang outlined by Fan Yang at the beginning, was taken by the people of the exhibition company to design it by hand, and the painters of the Academy of Fine Arts were invited to add pen and ink, at this time the image of Zhuge Liang is more plump, lupine scarf, a few long beards, the landscape in the background has also added some content, there are several Shu character flags, and some ancient city walls have been built on the mountains of Dingjun Mountain.
It looks indescribably atmospheric.
If there are no lines on it, and the ink on the background is deliberately downplayed, it is not an exaggeration to use it as a work of art.
Deputy Mayor Zhou, like most of the officials in this era, was trained from the grassroots level, although the theoretical knowledge of the economy is abundant, but still can not keep up with the rhythm of the times, Hanzhong is located in the inland, all kinds of business models are very lacking, even in such a high position as Deputy Mayor Zhou, I have never seen this kind of battle.
In the later generations, there was only a truss spray painting on an open-air stage, and the 40-centimeter-high stage was only covered with a red carpet.
To be considered a bird in the future, the minimum specification, the spray painting has to be replaced with an LED screen.
Deputy Chief Zhou stopped in front of this stage for a minute.
Fan Yang kept smiling, tied his hands in front of him, and waited for Deputy Chief Zhou to comment.
But I didn't expect Deputy Director Zhou to turn around and say, "This cost a lot of money, right?"
"Where, just some necessary input. β
Deputy Chief Zhou nodded and patted Fan Yang's shoulder, and Fan Yang actually sensed a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
I have a great impression of Deputy XX in my heart.
When I walked upstairs to the company and entered the product display area, Deputy Chief Zhou was beaten again.
A background wall presented in front of you, at this time has been completely made into a product display area, behind it is a pair of Dingjun Mountain's main KV, is still a giant spray painting, the Dingjun Mountain logo can be seen everywhere, densely packed Dingjun Mountain cans, although visually, not shocking, but the impact is still there, at least it can be seen that this company, for this order meeting, it is indeed painstaking.
Because those booths are obviously custom-made, the canned fruit displayed on the background wall, and the shelves on the top are installed on the wall, with a strong design style.
Director Liu stood next to him, also surprised, if he said the stage downstairs, they felt very satisfied.
The product display area above completely exceeded their expectations.
Director Liu was also grateful: "Hard work, for the industrial development of our Hanzhong, Brother Fan spared no effort, hard work." β
He gently patted Fan Yang's shoulder twice.
Deputy Chief Zhou turned his head back, and his appreciation for Fan Yang was no longer reserved, and he stretched out his hand and shook Fan Yang again: "Thank you, this trip to Lianyungang has benefited a lot, and the business operation model of the first-tier coastal cities is indeed worthy of our deep thought and review." β
On this trip to Hanzhong, there were 8 people from the Hanzhong Municipal Party Committee, the driver in the first car, Director Liu in the co-pilot, Deputy Director Zhou in the back row, and his secretary beside him.
On the Santana in the back, there were five people, three of whom carried cameras, namely the officials of the Propaganda Office of the Municipal Party Committee, the reporters of Hanzhong TV, the reporters of Hanzhong Metropolis Daily, and two secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee Office.
As soon as you walked to the stage below, the cameras clicked and snapped.
Without the instructions of Deputy Director Zhou, there was also a fierce shot at the product display area, which is the result of the study and investigation, and the Green Field Food Factory should be copied back.
Director Liu said with regret: "I should really pull Lao Liu over this time and let him take a good look at what he is doing." β
Lao Liu is talking about the director of the Green Field Food Factory and the deputy secretary of the Party Committee.
and Fan Yang are also quite familiar.
"It's not too late to invite now, blame me, I'll call Liugong now. β
The office area of more than 200 square meters, originally with two rows of office partitions, has been moved out in order to hold an order meeting.
Instead, there are neatly arranged chairs.
Fan Yang has arranged a total of 100 seats here.
On the left-hand side of the seat, there is a long row of tables, behind which there is also vertical spray painting, and next to the table are a slip of modern office equipment, typewriters, printers, and each table has printed contract documents and bills.
Behind the back, there are several wooden signs.
Respectively: intention area, earnest money, contract delivery, customs declaration rules, customs clearance documents.
Deputy Chief Zhou asked suspiciously, "What are these for?"
Fan Yang said with a smile: "We provide one-stop service at this order meeting, on-site signing, on-site delivery, on-site processing, and on-site consultation. β
Directly in front of the seat, there is a small stage, and there is still a piece of spray painting behind it.
There is also a whiteboard next to it, on which are chalk, chalk brushes.
Deputy Director Zhou, who often has meetings, is no stranger to this: "You still have to hold a meeting here?"
"Yes, this event was originally to sell goods, everything depends on tomorrow, look at the trading volume, conservatively estimate that one or two thousand tons should be no problem, the specific results are not easy to say now. β
