Chapter 188: Lowering the price
Su Xing and Changning Infrastructure originally did not expect to get investment from a Fortune 500 company, but they were forced to the head by Su Cheng, and Su Xing had to go to Tokyo again to visit Ito Trading Company.
He found Ito Yu, a side branch of the Ito family that he had known for a long time, and asked him to introduce the clan elder Masaaki Ito.
Ito Masaaki, a gray-haired old man with lap legs, sat in his own courtyard, looked at the respectful Chinese in front of him, and said in a stiff and impolite tone: "We, Ito Trading, although we have the intention of making a joint venture in China, but we are not interested in engineering infrastructure companies, and the labor cost in Japan is very high, even if we send managers and project supervisors, it will make us unprofitable." ”
After the translation, Su Jian knelt opposite him and said in Chinese with great respect: "Mr. Ito, China is about to enter the construction period, and on behalf of Changning Infrastructure, I promise you that I will definitely give the joint venture a sufficient share and guarantee more than 50% of your profits." ”
"It's useless to make more than 50% profit, and you can't really guarantee it. Masaaki Ito said, "Ito Trading is a company that is well-run, and the risks we are most willing to take are often technology investments and long-term investments. Pure speculation, political speculation, especially in other countries, and the attitude of trading companies have always been respectful. ”
"There is absolutely no problem with a 50% profit. For the sake of the two countries being separated by a strip of water, please consider that China's economic development is very good, and this can be seen from our economic indicators. Su Xing shook his arm back as he spoke.
The interpreter left the room automatically.
Tao Liu, the person in charge of Ning Infrastructure, who came with him, reluctantly sent a box.
Su Xing pushed the box deep and said in English: "Mr. Masaaki Ito, this is our company's information, please take a look." ”
"Hmm......" Masaaki Ito squinted.
Su Xing knelt opposite. Push flat with both hands. He pushed the box all the way across from Masaaki Ito and shouted, "Mr. Ito, please take a look." ”
in Japan. This is also a rare courtesy, not to mention that the translators have left.
Masaaki Ito gently opened the exquisite mahogany box and flicked it with his right hand. Sure enough, I saw the head portrait of Yukichi Fukuzawa under the brochure. He lifted it with his hand and saw that there were 10,000 denan bills under it, at least 10 million yen......
Masaaki Ito closed the lid in understanding, and said in English with satisfaction: "Okay, for your sake of sincerity, I'll give you a chance." ”
"Please. Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ito Electric Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Ito Trading, is preparing to build an air-conditioning plant in China, and according to the Chinese government's regulations, it must build a joint venture plant. And to give away a certain amount of technology, you know?"
Since the 80s. China's increasingly hot home appliance market. It attracted the attention of Japanese businessmen. Many large companies, including Panasonic, have invested in China. Su Xing is not surprised by this. While secretly jealous of these home power plants, he bowed his head and said, "I'll investigate when I go back." ”
"Well, the other party is a Chinese military factory, the Si*Sichuan Long March Factory. What they are asking for is a 60% stake, a large capital injection, and the retention of all workers and indefinite labor contracts......" Ito said in a calm voice, "If Changning Infrastructure is as strong as you described, then help us solve this problem." ”
Tao Liu's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly pulled Su Xing, and whispered in his ear: "This is a matter of Si*chuan, and we can't reach it." ”
"I'll figure it out. Su Xing pressed his hand and said, "I have an uncle over there, if you ask him for help, it's still possible." ”
After speaking, Su Xing said to Ito Masaaki, "What situation is the solution to the problem?"
"An indefinite employment contract is never feasible, and the capital injection should be replaced by a Chinese bank loan. Or in the name of a joint venture, jointly obtain an interest-free loan from Japan. In terms of equity, 50% is the minimum. Masaaki Ito quickly said the request.
"...... in terms of loans"
Masaaki Ito directly interrupted him and said, "A few conditions, if you can't complete them, then forget it." However, if completed, none of the conditions can be curtailed......"
Su Xing sighed secretly and said, "Okay, I understand." ”
Masaaki Ito smiled, turned around and put the mahogany box away, and said, "Please come in your translator, I'm still a little tired to speak in English." It's been 20 years since I came back to Japan, and before that, there were some good memories. ”
Su Xing looked at this shriveled old man in Japan who was sixty or seventy years old, and talked about his life when he was young. The history of memories quickly turned into the history of sexual encounters, and the translator had to translate it head-on.
The three men suffered for 60 minutes before they were able to leave.
Sitting in the car, Su Xing lit a cigarette, and while thinking about how to make the Sichuan Chang* levy comply, he said to Tao Liu: "This money is still very effective, you prepare another 10 million yen, and we will use it tomorrow." ”
Tao Liu asked nervously: "Today's 10 million yen has not been recorded." ”
"It's your business to enter the account, treat you or something, you make it up yourself. Su Xing looked at Tao Liu and said, "You are an accountant, and there are no problems with the accounts." Also, get your money ready at night. ”
"10 million yen is about to reach $100,000, and now the yen has risen very much. I don't have the right to decide, can I ask Mr. Su to give me a call......"
Su Xing ignored him and said, "I don't care what you say, if you don't see the money at night, I won't care about the affairs of the Long March Factory, you can do it yourself." ”
"But where is it used?" Taureu had to ask.
Su Xing glared at him and said, "The person who introduced Masaaki Ito to me always has to thank others." ”
"Thank you for 10 million yen?"
"I'll just decide on this matter, you just have to give me the money. ”
Tao Liu smirked and said, "You know, I can't give you the money." You'll have to say what you're going to do, and I'll ......."
Su Xing couldn't wait to slap him, snorted twice, and then said, "Forget it, if you want to be a follower, then follow and pay the bill." I'm going to Ginza in the evening. ”
"Go to Ginza ......" Tao Liuxiao's heart trembled. I thought: How much will this cost?
However, Tao Liu was not qualified to change the decision of Su Xing.
In the evening, Tao Liu followed Su Xing. Watching him move to three nightclubs, he couldn't stop playing. Tao Liu's heart and liver hurt when he paid the money.
Spend hundreds of thousands of yuan in one night, which is for the average person in the 80s. It's unimaginable. What makes Tao Liu most distressed is that in order to prepare this money, Changning Infrastructure has stopped paying overtime pay to workers, requiring all workers to take the initiative to work overtime and voluntarily take risks.
In Tao Liu's eyes, Su Xing was squandering the hard-earned money of the workers.
The two did not return to the room until daylight.
Tao Liu's sleepiness was terrible, but he still couldn't sleep, so he lay on the bed and thought carefully for a long time. In the end, he spat hatefully, got up and took out all the invoices and receipts. Then I secretly went to the shop under the hotel to make a copy.
Afternoon. Tao Liu, who was a little sleepy just now, was about to go to bed, and the door was smashed again.
"Who. ”
"Su Punishment. ”
Tao Liu sighed helplessly. Ran and opened the door.
Su Xing broke in, turned a blind eye to Tao Liu's dark circles, and only said: "Wake up, call China, I can take care of the matter of the Long March Factory, and I want you Changning to do the work." ”
Tao Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "We have nothing to do with Si*chuan." ”
"If it's up to me to do it, I can't let people back down with empty words. Su Xing revealed his purpose.
Tao Liu sighed secretly, not wanting to wade into this pool of troubled waters, so he said: "I'll contact the country, it's hard to say what the attitude of the factory director is." ”
"I've called my grandfather, and you can tell me the rest. ”
"Huh?"
"Let's just say that we need 100 million yen in public relations fees, and then we can take Ito Trading. Su Xingzhi said proudly: "At that time, we will also be a cooperative enterprise with the world's top 500, and our joint venture scale is larger, and our competitiveness will only be stronger than that of COSCO Shipping." What is the 100 million yen PR fee for the sake of the merger, right?"
"This ......" Tao Liu no longer knew the situation, but he also knew that this was the money that Su Xing left for himself, so he deliberately asked him to call back.
However, Tao Liu thought about it, if Su Xing did not come forward to reduce the conditions of the Long March factory, Changning Infrastructure might indeed lose the opportunity for joint venture. When the time comes, it will be even worse if it becomes a merged company.
"Just give him $800,000?" Tao Liu, a little undecided.
Su Xing coughed lightly and said, "There are many uses for these public relations expenses, and Manager Tao also has to help, of which 5 million yen will be handed over to you to bear." ”
5,000,000 yen is 40,000 dollars. Tauryu was taken aback.
Su Xing waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get the money, I can also persuade the Long March Factory, and then I can sign a preliminary agreement, don't delay it any longer." ”
Tao Liuwei sent away Su Xing and fell into infinite entanglement.
Four days later.
Sitting in a leather chair, Su signed a preliminary agreement with Ito Trading, and then returned to China triumphantly to hold an even larger press conference.
Walking out of the passage of the plane for the second time, Su Xing said to Tao Liu: "This time, we must build up the momentum, although Haliburton is an American company, how many Chinese know? Ito Trading Company is different, they have a company that sells ordinary consumer goods, which is more well-known and more popular with the media, let me tell you, propaganda is always the most powerful weapon of our party, no matter at any time, regardless of propaganda, the strongest team will also fail, and if propaganda is used well, no matter how weak the team can win...... Haha......"
Tao Liu just nodded vigorously.
When he arrived at the corner of the passage, Su Xing took a deep breath, gathered a smile, and said: "You also laugh, let the reporter take pictures of us full of confidence!"
After saying that, he rolled up his coat and strode out of the corner.
The pick-up hall is full of people.
But there wasn't a single camera, not a single camera.
"What about the reporter?" Su Xing was at a loss.
