Chapter 35 Countermeasures
Fang Mingyuan and his entourage flew directly from Osaka, Japan, to Shanghai, and in addition to Lin Rong and Chen Zhong, there was also Uda Guangli.
After lingering with Fang Mingyuan for a few days, Aso Xiangyue returned to Moscow, determined to be an NV strongman, but now there are many affairs, and many industries in Russia need her to be in charge of her heart and person, especially now that it is the critical time of Russia's economic "reform", it is naturally a critical moment for the development and expansion of her own industry, and it is not easy for Aso Xiangyue to be able to chōu out of a few days and get together with Fang Mingyuan in Japan for a few days. It's Uda Mitsuri, because the last movie has been filmed, and the new job has not yet been taken, but there is a lot of free time to accompany Fang Mingyuan.
With a private business jet, Fang Mingyuan now saves a lot of trouble flying in East Asia. Of course, this is also the blessing of Prince Tomatul, this private business jet is nominally, but it is hung in the name of the double embassies of Kowico and the United Arab Emirates, as long as it does not enter some sensitive flight areas, under normal circumstances, the application for the Jiāo route to the airport will be approved in a few hours, which undoubtedly greatly facilitates Fang Mingyuan's travel.
When they walked into the airport hall, Sun Zhaolun had already led people to wait here. Of course, Sun Zhaolun also made a cover-up, otherwise the news that the general manager of the dignified Carrefour supermarket personally went to the airport to pick up people spread out, which would definitely cause a lot of fluctuations in the business circles of Shanghai.
After getting into the car, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Zhaolun successfully received Fang Mingyuan and his party unknowingly for himself, and Fang Mingyuan and the others were glad that Yutian Guangli was not discovered. Although it is said that Uda Mitsuri's popularity in China is far less than that of her in Japan, but in any case, Uda Mitsuri can be regarded as one of the most active and popular emerging NV stars in the Asian film industry in recent years.
"Fang Shao, these days, my old grandson is looking forward to Fang Shao coming, looking forward to seeing it through!" Sun Zhaolun pulled Fang Mingyuan's hand, relieved. It seems that during this period of time, the pressure he has been under is really extraordinary. In fact, it was not just him, just before Fang Mingyuan came to Shanghai, Su Huandong, Chai Yan and others also called, and between words, they were also persuading Fang Mingyuan to list Carrefour Supermarket on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Obviously, the pressure from the top has affected many people who have a relationship with the Fang family.
"Uncle Sun, I've worked hard for you for a while!" Fang Mingyuan patted Sun Zhaolun's hand, he could understand the pressure Sun Zhaolun had borne before.
Sun Zhaolun's mood quickly calmed down, since Fang Mingyuan came to the Shanghai market in person, then whether Carrefour Supermarket is listed or not, there should be a result.
"Uncle Sun, it seems that the listing of Carrefour supermarket is inevitable now. But before that, we still have a few things to do!" Fang Mingyuan wrenched his finger and said, "First of all, our family plans to make another additional investment in Carrefour Supermarket, I have already discussed it with Mr. Guo, and Mr. Guo has agreed that the funds that should be compensated to Guo's Shipping Group Company after the two sides exchange shares will also be invested in the company as additional investment to ensure that the shareholding ratio remains unchanged." ”
Sun Zhaolun opened his mouth in surprise, although Fang Mingyuan did not say how much additional investment the Fang family wanted, but it was not difficult for him to deduce. After the exchange of shares between Carrefour Supermarket and Guo's Shipping Group Company, the Fang family should compensate Guo's Shipping Group Company with hundreds of millions of dollars, and if all this money is retained, according to the proportion of shares held between the two parties, the Fang family's investment will probably have to be more than one billion yuan or even billions of yuan! If that is the case, the funds in the hands of Carrefour Supermarket that can be used for expansion can be said to be extremely rich!
"Second, I will transfer part of the shares under the name of the Fang family to the name of the Fang family company in the United States, so that Carrefour Supermarket will become a tripartite investment company of China, Xiang and the United States in the future. ”
"Third, Uncle Sun, you have to prepare, Mr. Guo will help us to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market, and strive for the company to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market within half a year to a year after the listing of the Shanghai Securities Jiāo Yi Exchange!"
Before Sun Zhaolun could digest the first news, Fang Mingyuan threw out two more bombs, which made Sun Zhaolun dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to interface for a while. However, these two news are naturally good news for Carrefour supermarket. Fangjia's shares were transferred to the name of the American company, which had no impact on Fangjia's status as the majority shareholder of Carrefour Supermarket, but Carrefour Supermarket had a background of American capital and became a tripartite joint venture. In terms of China's national conditions, the probability of such a company being instructed by the enemy to stumble under the government department is naturally a little smaller, which is better for the stable development of Carrefour supermarket.
Listing in Hong Kong is not only a process of refinancing, but also a process of further standardizing corporate management, and in this regard, the Hong Kong stock market, which is extremely strictly managed, is not as easy as the two securities in ChinaAMC.
"Also, I plan to separate the quality inspection center from the supermarket and officially set up an independent company in Hong Kong. Fang Mingyuan said meaningfully.
This piece is actually Fang Mingyuan's idea from the beginning of the establishment of the quality inspection center in Carrefour supermarket. He hopes that the quality inspection center can become an independent legal person, responsible for the quality inspection of civilian products circulating in all commercial systems in China. His goal is to hope that the quality inspection center will become what he saw in his previous life about a product quality inspection center in the United States.
Fang Mingyuan had no impression of the specific name of this American commodity quality inspection center, because the name of it in the article was written in English at that time. But he remembers the operation of this commodity quality inspection center quite clearly.
It's a private, completely non-profit organization that relies entirely on donations from all over the world to operate. The most annoying thing for the staff in the center every day is what kind of name and what kind of address to use to receive delivery trucks from shopping malls around the world. Because according to the regulations of the center, all tested goods must be purchased in the commodity circulation system. However, in order to avoid the mall being selective when it was learned that it was to be sent to the product quality inspection center, the staff in charge of procurement had to rack their brains to come up with countless places to receive the goods, and then use the center's vehicles to transfer them back.
The center publishes a weekly magazine that gives a variety of ratings to the various products tested. Since the center is a neutral organization and is not interfered with by any party, its test results have also been recognized by the majority of Americans. Therefore, all the products that are rated as excellent by the quality inspection center are generally even more significant than the effect of advertising. Those goods identified as unqualified by the quality inspection center will face the fate of being removed from the shelves of shopping malls and consumer claims.
Due to the center's independent testing and superb testing methods, the vast majority of manufacturers of goods that are identified as substandard can only accept this result. However, some people have filed a lawsuit with the court because of this, but in the face of detailed test data, it is said that none of them can win the lawsuit!
Therefore, the commodity quality inspection center has a very high status in the American business community, which is almost like the status of the American Standard & Poor's in the evaluation company.
Fang Mingyuan hopes that such an independent commodity quality inspection center will appear in China in the future. He has been completely disappointed with the level of domestic food hygiene supervision, and hopes to expel those counterfeit and shoddy goods through market means. Although this idea sounds like a fantasy, and it is also troublesome to do. But Fang Mingyuan feels that in the future Internet era, it may not be completely ineffective. Even if it only plays a small role, I don't know how many people in the country can be saved. Just in order to reduce the pressure from the government in the future, the headquarters can only be set up in Hong Kong.
Of course, Sun Zhaolun would not have imagined that Fang Mingyuan would separate the quality inspection center and establish an independent company in Hong Kong. But he is keenly aware that this is beneficial and harmless for Carrefour supermarkets. After separation, the quality inspection center can still be stationed in Carrefour supermarket distribution centers around the country to continue to test the purchased goods. However, if the goods are found to be substandard, if those companies are dissatisfied with the results, they can only go to the quality inspection center to file a lawsuit, but Carrefour supermarket is detached and independent, which is a lot less trouble.
According to Fang Mingyuan's arrangement, the headquarters of the Carrefour supermarket is located in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, although it is said that it has been set up as a special economic zone, but after all, it is only 94 years now, and it has only been two years since it was officially fully developed.
Carrefour supermarket bought an eighteen-story office building here, the bottom eight floors were rented out, and the top ten floors were used as the headquarters of Carrefour supermarket. This is the first time Fang Mingyuan has come to the new headquarters of Carrefour supermarket.
When there were still two stops away from the headquarters of Carrefour Supermarket, Fang Mingyuan and his party got off the bus, and Sun Zhaolun returned to the headquarters first. After all, as the general manager of a company as large as Carrefour Supermarket, he has a lot of things to do every day, and Fang Mingyuan is already very content to be able to come out and pick up the airport at the same time.
If you go around Pudong New Area, you don't need him to accompany you.
