Chapter 372: Mr. Zhang won't make this mistake
Everyone laughed together, Zhang Jiucheng took out a cigarette case, took a cigarette and lit it himself, and then signaled to the three guests. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The three of them naturally waved their hands and thanked them, Zhang Jiucheng was not reluctant, he put away the cigarette case, took a puff of cigarette by himself, and spit out a puff of smoke, and then said to Feng Xiaochen: "Okay, young man, you have praised me so much, now it's time to tell me about your intention, right?"
Feng Xiaochen knew that the other party's performance was showing him a sense of closeness, if it was a serious business negotiation, Zhang Jiucheng would not smoke so aggressively. The more Zhang Jiucheng behaves like this, the more Feng Xiaochen needs to show solemnity, this is the difference between others giving faces and asking for faces. He sat up straight and said:
"We came to visit Mr. Zhang this time because we admired Mr. Zhang's investment vision. Mr. Zhang, Manager Yang and I are preparing a new investment project, which requires a large amount of funds beyond the scope of our existing funds, so we are ready to raise some funds from the capital market on Hong Kong Island. We thought of Mr. Cheung first because we believed that if there was only one person in the whole of Hong Kong Island who could see the potential of our project, it would be Mr. Cheung. ā
Zhang Jiucheng smiled slightly and said, "In this way, if I am not optimistic about your project, it is a lack of investment vision?"
Feng Xiaochen nodded and said, "That's right, investors who can't see the prospects of our projects do lack investment vision. However, we firmly believe that anyone can make such a mistake, and only Mr. Zhang will not make this mistake. ā
Zhang Jiucheng still maintained a faint smile and said, "Hearing you say this, I really have to listen carefully to your ideas." Young man, can you tell me about your investment plan? I would like to know what kind of investment project can make you so confident. ā
Feng Xiaochen said: "We want to build the largest construction machinery company in China. ā
"The largest in China?" Interestingly, listening to what you just said, it seems that your company is privately invested, not a state-owned enterprise?" Zhang Jiucheng asked.
"Exactly. Feng Xiaochen said.
Zhang Jiucheng said: "How is it possible for a privately invested enterprise to become the largest in China? Although the mainland is now encouraging private enterprises to run enterprises, as far as I know, the mainland's private enterprises are now concentrated in light industry, and the vast majority of them are small plastic factories, small hardware factories, and small printing factories. From the beginning, you planned to do heavy industry such as construction machinery, and the goal is to become the largest in China, do you think it is possible?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "Mr. Zhang does not know that the reform and opening up that is currently being carried out on the mainland will continue to be strengthened, and at the latest no later than the end of this year, the central government will introduce greater reform measures, and then the constraints on the private economy will be further relaxed, and it will no longer be a problem for the private economy to enter the field of heavy industry." ā
"Even so, what reason do you have to believe that you can do better than state-owned enterprises?" Zhang Jiucheng continued.
Feng Xiaochen said: "It's man-made, right? The entry threshold of construction machinery is not high, and with our current strength, we are fully able to enter this field." As for the subsequent competition, it all depends on the ability of the managers and the technical strength of the enterprise. In terms of ability, my general manager, Mr. Yang Haifan, is an excellent entrepreneur, and I, with all due respect, should be a very far-sighted strategist. Our combination is very competitive. ā
"Haha, I'll believe that. Zhang Jiucheng said with a smile. Of course, the ability of Feng Xiaochen and Yang Haifan is not something that can be judged right now, so Zhang Jiucheng is not willing to waste time to deal with Feng Xiaochen about this. As an investor who started by taking risks, he had some appreciation for Feng Xiaochen's courage just now.
He has also come into contact with many leaders of state-owned enterprises from the mainland, many of whom have profound experience and wise minds, but when it comes to courage, few can compare with Feng Xiaochen. Based on this alone, Zhang Jiucheng could faintly feel that the young man in front of him might really be able to achieve a great career.
In fact, whether or not they dare to take risks is an important difference between the leaders of state-owned enterprises and private entrepreneurs. State-owned enterprises belong to the state, and the leaders of state-owned enterprises are only managers of state-owned enterprises, and they have no right to take risks with the future of state-owned enterprises. Even if a few leaders of state-owned enterprises are adventurous, their superiors will not allow him to act on his own. The situation of private enterprises is different, an entrepreneur can smash all his net worth to win a chance, and if he fails, it is a big deal to start again, and others have nothing to say.
Some major investment behaviors may require patience for five or ten years before we can see results. If it is a state-owned enterprise, if it spends several years exploring this uncertain direction, the higher authorities will have to intervene long ago, and the enterprise leaders may not wait for the investment to produce results, and will be removed or transferred, while the new leaders will decisively abandon this direction. The leaders of private enterprises are not managed by their superiors, they can do whatever they want, and as long as they are strong-willed, they can keep one direction for ten or eight years until the day when the results are produced.
It can be said that some things cannot be done in state-owned enterprises, but they can be done in private enterprises, and this is a typical "system problem". In fact, there is no need to worry about whether state-owned enterprises or private enterprises are better, both have their own advantages, and it is best to focus on what you are good at.
Zhang Jiucheng is not an economist, he can't think of too deep a level, he just relies on his own investment intuition, and feels that Feng Xiaochen's words have some truth.
"Let's talk about technology. Uncle Zhang has promised to go back to the mainland with us as the chief engineer of our construction machinery company, Uncle Zhang's technical level, Mr. Zhang should be able to trust, right? Feng Xiaochen continued.
"I'm ashamed. ā
Listening to Feng Xiaochen talk about himself, Zhang Guodong showed a complicated expression on his face, which was self-contained, excited, and a little shy, and he said to Zhang Jiucheng: "Mr. Zhang, I have promised Xiao Feng that I am ready to go back to the mainland with him and do a little bit of my best." You may not believe it when you say it, Xiao Feng's technical vision is far above me. In the past two days, he told me a lot of technical ideas, which made me feel suddenly surprised. If these ideas can be realized, I am sure that our company's technology will not only be able to dominate the mainland enterprises, but also be able to compete with its counterparts in the United States, Europe, and Japan. ā
"Lao Zhang, what are you talking about? This young man's technical vision is actually above you?" Zhang Jiucheng's eyes widened, almost unable to believe his ears.
has cooperated with Zhang Guodong for many years, and Zhang Jiucheng knows Zhang Guodong's character and character very well. He knew that Zhang Guodong was a straight person, otherwise he would not have caused trouble because of his quick tongue back then, and he had to go far away. Over the years on Hong Kong Island, Zhang Guodong has learned to be a little more cautious and will no longer talk nonsense, but if he is allowed to talk nonsense with a clear conscience, it will never be possible.
This also means that what Zhang Guodong just said should be true and credible. And if these words are true, then this Feng Xiaochen is really amazing. Zhang Guodong's technical level, Zhang Jiucheng is very clear, he is definitely an authority in the field of machinery, especially the technical vision, which is much stronger than those professors who are purely messing around in the study. And Zhang Guodong actually said that Feng Xiaochen has more vision than him in technology, what kind of realm will it be?
In the past few days, Feng Xiaochen has indeed had serious technical exchanges with Zhang Guodong, who at the beginning took the teacher to guide the students, and it can even be said that the insiders guide the laymen's mentality. In his thoughts, if Feng Xiaochen is more modest and has a little foundation, he might as well give him a few introductory lessons on construction machinery, so that he can have some common sense in this area.
Who would have thought that as soon as the two talked, Zhang Guodong was stunned. Feng Xiaochen's attainments in machinery are no worse than Zhang Guodong, and even make Zhang Guodong feel unmatched in many places. Zhang Guodong has been engaged in machinery all his life, and his basic skills are of course much more solid than Feng Xiaochen. But Feng Xiaochen is a doctor of mechanical engineering in the 21st century, and later when he was working in the heavy equipment office, he came into contact with many top mechanical technologies.
Specific to the design of construction machinery, Feng Xiaochen unceremoniously described the new designs, new processes, etc. that appeared in the world in the following decades to Zhang Guodong. These new technologies may not be wonderful to laymen, but Zhang Guodong can think of what is going on as soon as he hears them. The more he listened, the more thrilling he felt, and he couldn't wait to bow his head and ask Feng Xiaochen to be his teacher.
With such a brainwashing exchange, Zhang Guodong agreed to work for Feng Xiaochen with all his heart. Feng Xiaochen made it clear that the ideas he said were just his own brains, and how to realize them needed to be completed by Zhang Guodong, the chief engineer. Thinking that there were so many wonderful ideas waiting to be verified by himself, Zhang Guodong was eager to return to the mainland to start working immediately.
If it was said that he had promised to take Feng Xiaochen to see Zhang Jiucheng before, mainly to repay Feng Weiren for saving his life, then after the technical exchange with Feng Xiaochen, Zhang Guodong was already willing to do so. He believed that Feng Xiaochen's idea could be successful, and he also hoped to help Feng Xiaochen realize such an idea.
