Chapter 105: You Go On!
Wu Ke is actually a little weak-minded, because if Song Zhihe insists on going his own way, even if Mingchang Group seeks help from the government, then the brand that Mingchang Group has established for more than 20 years will be smashed.
If a private enterprise is reduced to relying on the intervention of forces outside the market to survive, who will dare to cooperate with you? Not to mention the bank, is the supplier still willing to continue to supply? Can Mingchang settle their payment?
So Wu Ke himself knows that his remarks are not moving profit-seeking businessmen. As for Song Zhihe, in Wu Ke's opinion, he is complicated. On the one hand, Song Zhihe grew up in Nanyang since he was a child, received a pure Western-style education, and received training in the family, so he had no reason to be soft-hearted to the workers in City A; on the other hand, it was also one of Wu Ke's gambles, Song Zhihe was of Chinese descent, and his return to his hometown to invest in that year has proved that he has a certain sense of family and country.
If the bet was right, this meeting might be able to resolve the protracted rivalry between Mingchang and Bang Shun, and might even persuade Song Zhihe to quit the country.
Thinking of this, Wu Ke tentatively said: "The plate of food processing equipment is so big, in the past, the equipment produced by Mingchang alone could meet more than half of the needs of the local market, and now you are here again and directly invested in a production base with similar production capacity." The market in this province can't eat so many products, so it is not the best choice for Mingchang or Bangshun to continue to compete. ”
"You continue!" Song Zhihe lit a flue.
"If I were you, I would sell Bang Shun's production base in the provincial capital to Mingchang and withdraw my capital to do more profitable projects. Because in the food processing equipment production industry, Mingchang is a professional, and it is also a local snake, although Bangshun also produces a variety of equipment, but does not have any advantages in food processing equipment, and local customers are not very recognized. You must know that if our customers here do not approve, it means that most of the food production enterprises in the mainland do not approve. Because we are not only a major grain production province, but also a major food processing province. ”
Song Zhihe almost jumped up and scolded his mother, and after going around for a long time, he wanted Bang Shun to get out?
"Vice President Wu, I don't agree with what you said! The market can't tolerate two production giants, but why can't Bangshun buy Mingchang?"
"As I said earlier, Mingchang is a local enterprise and is closely related to the livelihood of the local people, how can the government allow it to be collected by foreign capital
Buy?"
"We can do just as well after the acquisition. ”
"But who believes it? Will the workers in the Mingchang production park believe it? Will the middle and senior managers of Mingchang believe it? Will the government believe it? Besides, Mingchang has been developing for 20 years now, and there have been no problems in production and sales, so what reason do you buy it? The reverse is much easier, the investment here is actually not necessary for your group at all, and your eldest brother did a problem with the market research at that time. For a capital group like yours, manufacturing is actually the least cost-effective. The investment is large, the cycle is long, the effect is slow, and the profit is low. Therefore, it is the wisest choice for you to get rid of it at a premium in time. ”
Song Zhihe was taken aback, the young man in front of him spoke too powerfully, every sentence pierced his heart, and he saw blood with a knife. To tell you the truth, he was a little tempted. As Chairman of the Board of Directors, he should have returned to Singapore to take charge of the overall situation. But I couldn't get out of this hurdle in my heart, and after tossing and turning for so long, I ended up running away? How can I serve the people after I go back? Will the uncles doubt their abilities?
But dragging it out is not a solution? Especially after listening to Wu Ke's words, Song Zhihe's impulse to leave was even greater.
Come to think of it, you can't be soft on your lips, even if your mind has been seen through.
"Vice President Wu, you should know that I will not do a loss-making business. Although it was not my idea to invest here, now that I am here, I have to do it. What you say makes sense, but if you ask me to sell the factory I just built now, do you think I will promise you?"
Wu Ke finally waited for the opportunity and said with a smile: "Chairman Song, I didn't suggest that you sell it now, and even if you want to sell, Mingchang won't be able to come up with the money for a while." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Although the main business of our Mingchang Group is equipment processing, the former vice president Yang Yan helped the group open up many other projects when he was there, and some of them are very profitable until now. ”
"What projects are you doing in Mingchang?"
Song Zhihe was very interested, he was actually tired of equipment production, and if there were other projects that came quickly, he really wanted to try it.
"Mingchang's bathing clubs, cinemas, restaurants, and shopping malls are all the vanes of City A. But Mr. Chen is not interested in these projects, he just wants to focus on manufacturing. After Yang Yan left
Mr. Chen even reduced the budget for these projects, and all resources were tilted towards the production park. Now some of these projects have business difficulties, not because the market is not good, but because the group does not pay attention to it. ”
Song Zhihe's eyes lit up, how could he not know about these businesses under Mingchang? Meng Zhang had done a detailed investigation when he was there, and the investigation report was still on his desk. If these projects can really be won, it will not be a bad thing for Bang Shun. These projects have fast capital turnover, high profits, and easy realization, making them the best investment objects. More importantly, Bangshun has a special entertainment and catering division, which has been specializing in investment in this area for many years. It's not hard to find a manager in this area to take over.
Such a temptation is too great, and Song Zhihe has no reason to refuse.
But......
"Vice President Wu, is this what Mr. Chen means or what do you mean?"
"I mean. ”
“……”
"Are you worried that Mr. Chen won't agree?"
"After all, it's such a big matter, I think it's hard for him to make a decision, right?"
"I am confident that I will persuade Mr. Chen to let him agree to the exchange. ”
"That's a good dare, Wu Ke, you are a talent. But can Chen Mingchang really give up such a big piece of fat? I will say you bluntly if I regard you as a friend, you are the vice president of Mingchang, is it really good to do this according to your opinion? It will be difficult for Mingchang Group to withdraw from these fields and then want to enter. ”
"I dare to say this, I have enough reason to believe that this is only beneficial to Mingchang. Mingchang Group has limited funds and cannot support so many non-core businesses. If the stall is too big, there will definitely be a problem in the end. Moreover, our Mr. Chen is bent on equipment manufacturing, and he also understands the truth that greed is too much to chew. ”
Song Zhihe dispelled his doubts, got up and said, "If Mr. Chen agrees, and the exchange price is fair, I, Song, am willing to make this transaction." ”
"Okay, Chairman Song, I'll persuade Mr. Chen when I go back. However, in the meantime, I also hope that you will put some pressure on Mr. Chen on the periphery. ”
"Understand, understand, I know what to do. Then I'll have to wait for your good news, little brother!"
On the way back to City A, Wu Ke asked the driver to turn on the music, and the Land Rover sang "Today is a Good Day" all the way to the direction of home.
