The Japanese companies that Guo Peiyuan revealed that he intends to sell are not limited to Akima Kaisha. After Feng Xiaochen got this information, he asked Bao Chengming to use his information network to conduct a wide understanding in Japan, and excavated more than 100 enterprises with certain technical strength and operating in trouble. Feng Xiaochen sent the information of these companies to Chinese companies in different industries, and asked them to choose the companies they were interested in and propose acquisition intentions. Yao Weiqiang, Han Jiangyue, Yang Haifan and others are in different directions, so the acquisition targets are also different. However, as Feng Xiaochen said, the bids that these Japanese companies received in the market were far lower than their actual value, and it was very cost-effective for Chinese companies to buy them at such prices.

"In this acquisition, we must pay attention to the strategy of wanting to catch the old man, and we must not let the other party perceive our urgency, so that they will feel that we are reluctant to make the acquisition, and we will simply give up if the price or other conditions are not suitable. Feng Xiaochen admonished everyone.

"Mr. Feng, you can rest assured, we are not as good as you Mr. Feng in other aspects, if you want to talk about the ability to bargain in the mall, hehe, hehe......" Yao Weiqiang said half a sentence, and saw that everyone did not mean to agree, so he quickly swallowed the words back. Showing off his ability in front of Feng Xiaochen is really a cold joke in this circle.

Feng Xiaochen didn't care about Yao Weiqiang's words, he said: "The attitude I told you is not just a strategy. In fact, the acquisition of these Japanese companies is indeed not a very urgent thing for us, we will accept the price if it is right, if the price is not suitable, we will give up directly, anyway, there are still many opportunities. ”

"Mr. Feng, are you saying that this round of financial crisis will last for a long time?" asked Han Jiangyue.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "That's not it, this round of financial crisis will last for two or three years and then it will come to an end." What I mean by this is that maybe in a few years Europe will also experience a financial crisis like the one in Asia, and then everyone will have the opportunity to go to Europe to buy the bottom. Now that the money has been used up, if you want to go to Europe to buy the bottom in the future, you won't be able to do it. ”

Yang Haifan was stunned and said, "No, Xiaochen, where did you get the news?"

"Yes, does Mr. Feng have any inside information?" the rest of the people also asked in surprise.

Feng Xiaochen was embarrassed, but he still habitually showed a confident look, and said to everyone: "This is a research result within the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and it is still under confidentiality, so don't spread it." Experts believe that the economies of Europe and the United States are currently too biased towards the virtual economy, and if this situation continues to ferment, it will sooner or later lead to a serious financial crisis, from which European and American countries will fall into a crisis and find it difficult to extricate themselves. ”

"Sooner or later, when did you say that?" Yang Haifan asked.

Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and said: "It's not easy to predict the time, but it is estimated that it will not be too far, about 10 years at the shortest, and no more than 15 years at the longest." ”

The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States occurred in 2007, and if history does not deviate, it will be 10 years from now, so Feng Xiaochen dares to make this kind of prediction. As for what he said about the prediction of the experts of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, it was purely a tiger skin to make a big banner, let alone in 1997, and even in 2006, before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, no authoritative scholar issued an effective warning.

By the way, the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007 also triggered a crisis in economic theory. Economists have introduced mathematical models more complex than astronomical operations into economics, but have not even been able to warn of an impending global crisis, which makes one wonder about the value of economics. In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis, many economists began to reflect on the rationality of the economic research paradigm, arguing that economic research should return to the world and should no longer entertain itself in this mathematical game. However, after all, economics is a huge industrial chain that can accommodate the employment of hundreds of thousands of professors and scholars, and no one dares to easily smash their own and their peers' golden jobs.

Ruan Fugen, Bao Chengming and others are all fans of Feng Xiaochen, and when a sentence comes out of Feng Xiaochen's mouth, they will naturally believe fifty percent, and the remaining fifty percent will be judged in combination with their own common sense. Hearing Feng Xiaochen say that Europe and the United States may have a big crisis like the current Asian financial crisis within 10 years, everyone was a little inexplicably excited.

"I believe what Xiaochen said. Yang Haifan said, "I have dealt with a lot of European companies in recent years, and I feel that European companies are indeed a little impetuous, not as solid as our Chinese companies." ”

"They just have some skills, otherwise they wouldn't be our opponents if they were motivated alone. Han Jiangyue commented.

Yao Weiqiang said timidly: "But people's technology is still a lot stronger than ours, right? If we want to acquire European companies, I think it's enough." ”

Bao Chengming smiled: "Old Yao, you are conservative." In the past, did you think about being able to buy a Japanese company? Japan Xinyong Bearing, I remember that you admired this company in the past, and now you want to buy it, and it has only been a few years. ”

"This ......" Yao Wei scratched his scalp, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Lao Bao said this, it's really like this." When I first resold bearings, Xinyong bearings are really unattainable, which factory wants to buy Xinyong bearings, we will look at it at a glance, feel that this company has the strength, can afford to use such a high-end bearing. Who would have thought that it would be closed down in just over a decade. ”

Ruan Phuc Gen Niu said dryly: "This is called 30 years of Hedong, 30 years of Hexi." When my old Ruan was a businessman, I thought that no one was born to be a farmer, and my old Ruan was a farmer at that time, so maybe one day I would be able to sit on an equal footing with these state-owned enterprises. ”

Yao Weiqiang reprimanded: "Old Ruan, don't blow it." At that time, you also thought that you could compare with the state-owned enterprises in the county, and did you think about being on an equal footing with Japanese companies? Akima Co., Ltd., I have also heard of this company, which has a history of seventy or eighty years, and if you put it in the past, you will be scared to pee your pants when people say something to you, Lao Ruan, right?"

Ruan Fugen and Yao Weiqiang are both private entrepreneurs in Haidong, although they are not in the same industry, they have known each other in the past, and because of a common acquaintance like Feng Xiaochen over the years, they have moved around each other a lot, and they have become more and more casual in their talk. Yao Weiqiang is a person who has been a "bearing king", and he is a little domineering in his bones. Nguyen Phuc Gen has always kept a low profile, and when he makes money, he often says that he is a farmer. Yao Weiqiang usually derogated Ruan Fugen for this problem.

Ruan Fugen was a little embarrassed by Yao Weiqiang's words, he smiled innocently, and said: "Lao Yao is right, in the past, how could I have thought that I could still do business with a big company like Qiujian Club, let alone think about buying it over." However, I have to thank Mr. Feng for this matter, it was Mr. Feng who led me on this road and supported my small company all the way. If it weren't for Mr. Feng, I would really be a small factory with more than a dozen people now. ”

"Yes, if Boss Ruan wants to say this, then my small factory also has to thank Mr. Feng. Without Mr. Feng's help, it would have been difficult for me to contract new hydraulics at the beginning, let alone today. Han Jiangyue said with a smile, her words were very reserved, but Feng Xiaochen could still hear the taste of gratitude in her words. This is a very proud woman, and it is not easy to say such a thing in front of Feng Xiaochen.

"Everyone, don't talk about these useless things. Seeing that Bao Chengming, Yao Weiqiang and others also meant to show loyalty, Feng Xiaochen hurriedly interrupted, he said: "Everyone is clear about the situation. The State Economic and Trade Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange have issued a document restricting overseas investment. With this document, the Japanese will not be able to pull Chinese companies into bidding with each other. You can take advantage of this and boldly lower the price and try to buy the technology we need at the lowest cost. ”

"No problem, we'll definitely be able to do it. All the people answered in unison.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Regarding some legal issues involved in cross-border acquisitions, we have equipped the company to help you connect with several overseas law firms, who are familiar with international rules and can help you. By the way, there is an investment advisor I have contacted for you, named Feng Wenru, who is my cousin, who grew up in Germany and studied finance, and I would like to ask for your support. ”

"Is there such a thing? Mr. Feng's cousin, it must be excellent, our company has booked it. ”

"Why, I mentioned this to Mr. Feng a long time ago, Mr. Feng's cousin, we are willing to hire him with a high salary. ”

"What kind of high salary is not high, is Mr. Feng's cousin a person who values these? Mr. Feng, you tell Sister Wenru to invite her to our company to guide the work, and the remuneration will be ...... with her."

Everyone was making a fuss again, and held Feng Wenru, who had never met before, to the sky. Feng Xiaochen let everyone talk about it, and then thanked everyone with a smile, and then arranged other related matters.

A few days later, a delegation of private overseas investment was quietly set up, with the participants being among the leading domestic private manufacturing enterprises, especially Haidong Province, which has the largest number of entrepreneurs. The head of the delegation was Bao Chengming, and Guo Peiyuan, in the capacity of an intermediary, accompanied everyone to Japan and began to inspect some Japanese companies on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was also at this time that Uchida Yu and his assistant Juro Kikuchi came to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan and asked to meet with the Minister of International Trade and Industry, Shinichi Nimono.
