Huadu, Foreign Business Office.

"Mr. Huo is here, welcome. When Director Ma saw Huo Yaowen, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Huo Yaowen shook hands with the other party with a smile and said, "Director Ma, congratulations on your promotion." ”

As soon as Huo Yaowen arrived in Guangzhou yesterday, he heard from Bai Yunhe, who was stationed here for inspection, that Director Ma had been promoted from the original Ministry of Foreign Trade to the new foreign business office as director.

Although it is only a flat move in terms of position, since the passage of the "Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Law" promulgated on July 1, foreign investment in China will be protected by the state in the true sense of the word, and the rights of this newly established foreign business office will become very large.

Not only can they approve foreign investment, but they also have some of the rights of the former Ministry of Foreign Trade, and they can also directly negotiate preferential policies for foreign investment with local planning departments.

Therefore, Huo Yaowen said that Director Ma's promotion is also very reasonable.

"Where, where, it's just a flat move, a flat move. ”

Director Ma was modest on his face, but the smile that couldn't be hidden at the corner of his mouth could still see that he was very happy.

"Hehe......" Huo Yaowen smiled, didn't say anything more, just stretched out his hand to introduce Li Yongsen beside him and said: "Director Ma, this is Mr. Li Yongsen Li of Hong Kong Hutchison Electric, and he also participated in the delegation to the north two years ago. ”

Li Yongsen smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello Director Ma." ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Li to come too, I still remember what you said when you said you wanted to invest in the mainland market!" Director Ma obviously remembered Li Yongsen.

Li Yongsen said with a smile: "Yes, I don't look at the reform and opening up in China, so I want to come back and invest in the construction of my hometown." ”

"Welcome, welcome, now the country is in the wave of reform and opening up, we welcome all like-minded compatriots to return to China to invest. ”

Director Ma at this time has changed significantly from what Huo Yaowen saw half a year ago, he didn't dare to say it before, but now he looks much more energetic. Perhaps because the policy and situation gradually became clear, he had worked in Guangzhou for more than ten years in foreign trade, and seeing that the situation was very good, he naturally wanted to have a second spring in his career.

Therefore, whether it is Huo Yaowen or Li Yongsen, they are very welcome, and only more foreign investment can highlight his ability as the director of the office.

……

A few people greeted each other for a while, and entered the conference room of the office together, a clerk came in outside, and after making a few cups of tea and going out, Director Ma said: "Mr. Huo, you and I are also old acquaintances, you asked me if I could invest a few years ago, and now I can tell you clearly, yes!"

"I wonder what form it is now?"

Huo Yaowen knew a little about the current situation from Bai Yunhe before, and also learned that a Hong Kong businessman in Dongguan cooperated with a local garment factory to set up a handbag factory, which not only became the first processing enterprise in the country, but also obtained the first license "Yuezi 001" issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

This incident made Huo Yaowen very remorseful, he knew that he should not be tied up a year ago, and he should directly discuss cooperation with the government in Zhongshan, and set up a factory first.

"Yes, Director Ma, I don't know if we can build a factory as a sole proprietorship now, or do we have to build a joint venture?" Li Yongsen on the side nodded and asked, he was more concerned about whether he could be a sole proprietorship or a joint venture.

Director Ma looked at Huo Yaowen, then at Li Yongsen, thought for a while and said: "According to the above meaning, it is now allowed to set up factories with sole foreign investment, and at the same time adopt the plan of "three to one supplement". ”

In July this year, the authorities decided that, in addition to Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and other places, they would also set up special economic zones in four localities, including Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shandong, and Xiamen, to attract foreign businessmen to invest in the form of "three to one supplement," joint ventures, and wholly-owned factories.

The meaning of "three to one supplement" is processing with supplied materials, assembly with supplied materials, processing with samples and compensation trade.

In layman's terms, the third is to OEM for others, and you will provide all the raw materials, technology, and equipment, and then I will provide labor on my side. The first supplement is to obtain foreign imported equipment, technology, and materials for free, and then choose to repay the cost of these technologies and equipment by means of labor OEM.

This plan can be said to have accelerated the development of the domestic technology and equipment level, not only through the way of OEM to obtain a lot of technology and equipment that did not exist before, but also to bring a lot of foreign trade orders to the country.

After Director Ma said the detailed process of the three to one supplement, Li Yongsen squinted his eyes slightly and began to ponder. In his opinion, the cooperation mode of processing and assembly with supplied materials is actually the best investment plan.

On the one hand, it is because of the current cheap labor in China, and on the other hand, the state has also exempted foreign imports of materials and equipment from tariffs, which is relatively a little more freight. In the short term, it will definitely be a loss, but in the long run, it can not only expand the sales of products in China, but also increase the company's advantages in overseas export trade with a stable supply of cheap labor.

"Mr. Huo, I think the cooperation plan of using contract processing and contract assembly is very good, what do you think?" Li Yongsen seemed to have thought of a cooperation method, turned his head to look at Huo Yaowen, and asked for his opinion.

For Jinda Electric Company, which cooperates with Li Yongsen, it must be good to adopt these two schemes, but Huo Yaowen still remembers the matter of building a factory in Zhongshan, so after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked Director Ma: "Of course this plan is good." It's just that I want to ask Director Ma, if we build a factory as a sole proprietorship, what are the preferential policies?"

Director Ma pondered for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and said: "If Mr. Huo wants to build a factory as a sole proprietorship, I still recommend you to go to Shenzhen, Zhuhai and other places, where special economic zones are now being built, and the plan to reduce corporate income tax and import tariffs will be used to attract foreign investment." ”

"Zhongshan is not good?" Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows.

Director Ma said: "I know that Mr. Huo cares about his hometown and wants to make a contribution to the cause and economy of his hometown, but at present, Guangzhou is still based on the plan of three to one supplement. ”

"That's right, then I see. Huo Yaowen nodded slightly, he didn't dwell on this matter, since it is not possible to be a sole proprietorship here, then wait until he returns to Zhongshan to see if he can build a joint venture with Zhongshan County Town.

Anyway, Huo Yaowen's purpose in investing in Zhongshan is simply to build and support the economy of his hometown, and whether it is his sole proprietorship to build a factory is not particularly important.

However, Director Ma's words just now reminded Huo Yaowen that it was best to go to Shenzhen, Bei, and Shang as soon as possible.

He decided early on that he was going to Shenzhu and other places, and when he returned to the mainland, he made a long-term plan, not only to build the Jinda Electric Appliance Factory in cooperation with Li Yongsen, but also to take the lead in North, Shang, Shenzhen and other places in advance.

Now that the country has basically liberalized its policies, and the situation gradually becomes clearer, sooner or later it will attract more and more Hong Kong and foreign businessmen to invest in the hinterland, ranging from one year to three years.

If we really wait until that time, the more foreign businessmen come to the north, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, the relative investment will be subject to various constraints, and I am afraid it will be much more difficult. It will not be like now, as a Hong Kong businessman, to go anywhere, and the local person in charge is eager to use all preferential policies to pull you to invest with them.
