Chapter 385: A Great Value Investment

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Feng Xiaochen's private promise to Wang Qinghui and them quickly reached the ears of Lai Yongjia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs Feng Xiaochen guessed, Lai Yongjia took a pretending deaf and dumb attitude towards this matter, and only told Li Tao to arrange some workers who had contributed more in the past to work for Feng Xiaochen and them, and at the same time, on the grounds of "strengthening leadership", let Li Tao stay as the person in charge of the scene. Of course, Li Tao understood the meaning of coming to Yongjia, and accepted this glorious and arduous task with great satisfaction.

Leaving the work of dismantling the factory to Lai Yongjia's subordinates, Feng Xiaochen was naturally relieved. He promised Wang Qinghui and others so many benefits, and the purpose was also to make them work happily and ensure the quality of work. Of course, he and Yang Haifan didn't have time to stay as supervisors, but he still transferred Feng Lingyu and Feng Lintao brothers and let them work with the workers, which was not only a kind of exercise, but also a way to supervise the work process.

In the past few days, Feng Shuyi has contacted several companies that are interested in selling second-hand equipment, but these companies are not bankrupt like Hagen and need to sell the entire factory, they only need to dispose of some old equipment because they have purchased new equipment. said that it is an old equipment, but in fact, the performance is still very good, and the price is only a fraction of the new equipment, which is of course extremely cost-effective for a "poor person" like Feng Xiaochen.

Feng Xiaochen also handed over the work of receiving these second-hand equipment to Li Tao to take care of, and Li Tao accepted the "tip" given by Feng Xiaochen in private, and his attitude was naturally very courteous. He reassured Feng Xiaochen that he would definitely arrange for knowledgeable stevedores to pick up the equipment and send it back to China in good condition.

The cost of acquiring the Hagen plant and other second-hand equipment was paid by Feng Hua on behalf of Feng Xiaochen. Feng Hua successfully helped Feng Xiaochen raise a $10 million loan to purchase equipment and raw materials in the European market. Feng Xiaochen's Chenyu Company is the Feng family's family business, and Yan Leqin and Feng Hua are fully supported. As a banker, Feng Hua has a keen investment vision, and he is convinced that his nephew will definitely be able to achieve a great career, and all he has to do is to help his nephew pave the way.

After dealing with these things, Feng Xiaochen and Yang Haifan continued their journey to Europe. After visiting a number of research machines and companies in Germany, they went to France and the United Kingdom, where they visited institutions such as the National Engineering Research Institute of the United Kingdom, Imperial College London, the University of Leeds, and so on. As in Germany, French and British entrepreneurs and academics are more curious about their Chinese counterparts and less worried about competition. Feng Xiaochen and Yang Haifan have seen a lot of the latest research results, and the harvest is quite gratifying.

On this trip, they stayed in Europe for more than two months, and then they left for China without getting enough of it, and the first stop was naturally to return to Hong Kong Island first.

Almost as soon as they walked out of the terminal, Feng Xiaochen and Yang Haifan got good news: Zhang Jiucheng's Zhang consortium accepted their request after careful evaluation and agreed to inject 150 million Hong Kong dollars into Feng Xiaochen's Chenyu Construction Machinery Company in exchange for 10% of the company's equity. There are a number of other conditions that come with this investment, so it is needless to say.

"Young man, this is the most loss-making investment I have ever made, 150 million Hong Kong dollars, only 10% of the equity, and your company has not even had a single equipment so far. ”

In the large office on the top floor of the Xihuan office building, Zhang Jiucheng said to Feng Xiaochen in a slightly ridiculous tone.

During Feng Xiaochen's visit to Europe, Zhang Jiucheng arranged for someone to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Feng Xiaochen's background on the mainland, and the results of the investigation surprised Zhang Jiucheng. What Feng Xiaochen has done in the past few years is simply a legendary work. Although the mainland has begun reform and opening up, the conservative thinking that has been formed over the years is not so easy to change. In the case that most government officials and enterprise cadres are cautious, Feng Xiaochen's actions can be called a clear stream.

Zhang Jiucheng saw a rare and valuable pioneering spirit from Feng Xiaochen, and he believed that a young man with such a spirit would definitely be able to create miracles in China in the future.

Regarding Feng Xiaochen's backer, Zhang Jiucheng also conducted a serious analysis. Meng Fanze, Zhang Kejian, and Shen Rongru are all people who have a certain influence at the national decision-making level. As for Bole Luo Xiangfei, who was the first to discover Feng Xiaochen, although his level is still a little worse than the previous ones, he is also the actual person in charge of the Heavy Equipment Office, and he is in charge of the research and development of major equipment in the country, which can be regarded as a real power faction.

Zhang Jiucheng has always wanted to find an opportunity to enter the mainland market. Feng Xiaochen, a figure with a deep background and active thinking, is exactly the object that Zhang Jiucheng can use. It is completely worth spending more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars to catch Feng Xiaochen's line. In the eyes of others, they may think that such an investment is too rash, but Zhang Jiucheng is a person who likes to take risks, and he decided to gamble on his vision and accompany this young man in the mainland to go crazy.

Zhang Jiucheng's thoughts, Feng Xiaochen could guess seven, seven, eighty, eight. He didn't pick the window paper in between, but replied with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, the information you have is too lagging behind. Not only do I have the equipment now, but there are quite a few of them. At this moment, at least 200 of my various machine tools are passing through the Strait of Malacca and are about to arrive at the port of Pujiang. ”

"What kind of machine tools are the 200 various machine tools?" Zhang Jiucheng asked curiously. He knew that Feng Xiaochen had just returned from Europe, but he didn't expect Feng Xiaochen's movements to be so fast, and he actually purchased 200 machine tools on a trip to Europe.

Feng Xiaochen took out a few pieces of paper, handed them to Zhang Jiucheng, and said, "This is a brief list, Mr. Zhang, please take a look." ”

This list is naturally a list of those second-hand equipment purchased by Feng Xiaochen in Europe. He came to visit Zhang Jiucheng and prepared such a list in advance in order to strengthen Zhang Jiucheng's confidence in investing in Chenyu Company.

Zhang Jiucheng took the list and read it in a low voice with a frown:

"4532 CNC electrocorrosive cutting machine tool, 2064 nut thread automatic machine tool, 395M optical grinding machine, 3B282 coordinate grinding machine, LB222 three-roller steel plate bending machine...... Professor Zhang, what do you think of these devices?"

In the last sentence, he asked Zhang Guodong, who accompanied Feng Xiaochen and them on their visit. Zhang Jiucheng has done mergers and acquisitions in the field of machinery, and has some understanding of machinery, but when it comes to specific details, he still needs to lead experts like Zhang Guodong. Zhang Guodong is currently Feng Xiaochen's employee, but Zhang Jiucheng believes that with Zhang Guodong's character, he will never tell a lie in person.

Zhang Guodong had read this list, he nodded to Zhang Jiucheng, and said, "Mr. Zhang, these equipment are indispensable for the establishment of a construction machinery company. As a rough estimate, the equipment on this list should be worth more than $12 million based on the price of brand new equipment. ”

"The price of brand new equipment?" Zhang Jiucheng seized the mystery in Zhang Guodong's words and asked, "Why, aren't these devices brand new?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's not brand new. Didn't I get the money that Mr. Zhang had invested yet? I asked my uncle in West Germany to buy the equipment for me with a loan, and it cost me less than $4 million in total. ”

"I see. Zhang Jiucheng nodded. Feng Xiaochen's statement provided him with a lot of information, first, Feng Xiaochen has the brains to do things and knows how to replace new equipment with second-hand equipment to reduce investment; second, Feng Xiaochen has obtained a loan from West Germany, with a amount of at least 4 million US dollars. Naturally, the bankers in West Germany are not philanthropists, and Feng Xiaochen's creditworthiness will definitely be fully evaluated. Banks in West Germany were willing to lend to Feng Xiaochen, and Zhang Jiucheng's investment risk was not so great.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Mr. Zhang said just now that this is your most loss-making investment, I think it's too early to say now." I can guarantee that in less than five years, Mr. Zhang will be proud of this investment. ”

"I'm already proud of it now. Zhang Jiucheng said with a smile, "I believe in my own vision, this money is definitely worth investing in you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your trust. Feng Xiaochen bowed slightly to Zhang Jiucheng and said.

"I would like to amend the agreement between us. Zhang Jiucheng said, "I hope to add an additional article, in the next five years, if Chen Yu Construction Machinery Company intends to expand its share capital, the Zhang consortium will have preferential participation." ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "Haha, I can completely agree, I believe there will be long-term cooperation between us." ”

With the initialed agreement with Zhang Jiucheng, Feng Xiaochen, Yang Haifan and Zhang Guodong entered the customs from Pengcheng and returned to Nanjiang. The funds are available, the equipment is also available, and even the steel beams and steel frames used to cover the workshop have been prepared a lot, and the next work is to apply for land to prepare for the construction of the plant.

After learning that the soon-to-be-established Chenyu Construction Machinery Company has foreign and Hong Kong backgrounds, including the German Philo Bearing Company and the Hong Kong Island Zhang's Foundation, government departments at all levels in Nam Giang Province have attached great importance to this matter. At Feng's request, Nanjiang province allocated more than 1,000 acres of land to them in Xuanyang, near the Yangtze River in the north, and promised to help complete the local demolition work. The Xuanyang municipal government promised to reduce or exempt certain taxes and fees for the company in the next few years, and to provide sufficient convenience in some other aspects.

Feng Xiaochen didn't have time to deal with these things, because it was already early August, and the Academy of Social Sciences was about to start, so he had to return to the capital immediately. In this way, the work of building a new factory fell on the shoulders of Yang Haifan and Zhang Guodong.
