At noon, Fan Heng and important leaders in the province hosted Dr. Lawrence Heimer, vice president of the Boston Consortium from the United States, at the Wuxin Hotel directly under the provincial government.

The Boston consortium is also one of the top 10 conglomerates in the United States, ranking fifth overall, and one of the oldest monopoly conglomerates in the United States.

It was formed by the 19th-century families of the Lowell, Lawrence, Adams, and Lodge families in the Boston area, who had made their fortunes in the slave trade, and the emerging Kennedy family.

At that time, these families invested the huge sums of money accumulated from overseas colonial plunder in commercial banks, insurance companies, and investment companies, and relied on these financial institutions to provide funds to operate the textile industry such as textiles, tanning, shoes, clothing, food, and chemicals.

Due to the rapid development of the textile industry, by the beginning of the twentieth century, the Boston Consortium, with the First National Bank of Boston as the core, was formed by these families that had intermarried with each other for generations.

In addition to the banks, the Polish consortium also owns four well-known insurance companies, but the Boston consortium is not as strong as the eastern consortium in terms of industrial and mining enterprises. Since the fifties, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has used the scientific research results of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop new technology industries, shifting from the textile industry to the development of electronics, optics, space, and missiles.

For example, the Texron company controlled by it merged with many small and medium-sized companies after the war, and its business direction also shifted from the light textile industry to the development of the aerospace industry and the electronics industry, becoming a diversified company with more than 70 subsidiaries, which not only manufactures aviation and aerospace products, various electronic components, and aircraft parts, but also deals in the watch clockwork, furniture, and poultry industries. One of its companies, Bell Helicopters, manufactures helicopters for the Pentagon and foreign countries.

The Boston Consortium has superior technological strength in the development of emerging technology industries, and the scientific research achievements of famous universities such as the University of Buddhism and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have strongly promoted the development of cutting-edge industries in the Boston area. Its subsidiaries such as Dextrom, Lesian and Bora Royd have seen rapid growth in economic strength due to the stimulation of emerging technology industries.

Politically, the Boston Consortium qualified the Kefiler Consortium to support J.F. Kennedy as president. Kennedy dominated the White House and won a large number of military orders for the Portuton consortium, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Morgan consortium. Therefore, the assassination of Kennedy dealt a great blow to the Boston consortium, which made its position in the competition with other consortiums continue to decline.

Dr. Rollsheimer is the direct heir of the Lawrence family, only in his thirties, tall and handsome, with assets of more than $500 million, and is still single, and he can be regarded as a relatively famous diamond king in the United States, especially he has had scandals with many Hollywood actresses, so he has always been a hot figure in lace magazines.

There are more than 50 people in this delegation brought by Lawrensheimer, mainly to inspect the current situation of the textile industry in Jiangnan Province. Let's see if there's a possibility of in-depth collaboration. After all, the Boston consortium has a strong advantage in this regard. In Jiangnan Province, the textile enterprises led by the Jiangnan Woolen Mill have been integrated. It is working hard towards the goal of domestic textile leader. There is a basis and necessity for cooperation between the two.

Fan Heng and other leaders of Jiangnan Province are also very welcoming to the arrival of Lawrence and his entourage, but now Jiangnan Province is on the road of rapid development. Absorb more foreign capital and more technology. All of them are very helpful, especially the textile industry, which has always been a traditional project in Jiangnan Province. It should continue to build on the Boston consortium's technological advantages in this area. For Jiangnan Province, the textile industry has taken off. Significant.

Lawrence Heimer had greater hopes for the trip. Because he came before. Jiangnan Province is considered to be the same as some other Chinese mainland provinces. The desire for foreign investment is very eager. They can reach their goals very easily. Invest some money. Obtained a controlling stake in major textile factories in Jiangnan Province. These textile enterprises, which include more than 200,000 employees, were then transformed into their own production bases in Chinese mainland.

But when they visited the Jiangnan Woolen Mill. I found that my starting point seemed to be a little too high.

At present, Jiangnan Woolen Mill is already abundant in terms of funds. Since the implementation of the debt-to-equity swap. Jiangnan Woolen Mill received a disease-free capital increase. There is no longer a problem in this regard. And in terms of production equipment. It has also just introduced cash textile machinery from Germany. And some blending technology has been introduced. It is already possible to produce a lot of high-end fabrics. And it works great. It not only meets the needs of the domestic market. It also began to be sold overseas.

In this case. Lawreensheimer realized that his original thinking needed to be adjusted. Now it is not about spending money to seize the textile industry in Jiangnan Province. If you want to reach your goals. The only way to do this is from the provincial government. Strive to persuade them to enter into a joint venture. Get a controlling stake. Then follow your predetermined route.

So at the reception, Lawrence Heimer asked the question, "Dear Governor Fan, can our Boston consortium buy Jiangnan Woolen Mill?" ”

"I'm afraid this is difficult." Fan Heng frowned and replied, "Jiangnan Woolen Mill was originally a state-owned asset, and later because of poor management, on the verge of bankruptcy, Fan's Investment Group put forward a debt-to-equity swap proposal, and cooperated with the provincial government to become the largest shareholder of Jiangnan Woolen Mill, but also the controlling shareholder, if you want to acquire, you can choose other enterprises, but Jiangnan Woolen Mill may be difficult to acquire." ”

"Why? Can't your provincial government exert some influence? "In return, we could provide a concessional loan to the Jiangnan provincial government, say $500 million or more, for the province's economic development, such as building highways." ”

Lawrensheimer felt that his suggestion was very good, if officials want to be promoted, they need political performance, and what China needs most at present is to introduce foreign capital, and he has no reason to oppose such a large amount of money in front of Fan Heng. As for talking about state-owned assets and the like, it is just talking, and he believes that there are many ways for the provincial government to properly solve this problem.

However, Fan Heng's counter-attack was obviously beyond his expectations.

"Mr. Lawrence said with a smile, business moves, and it is inconvenient for the provincial government to interfere." Fan Heng said with a smile, "The provincial government can only provide some convenience in terms of policies to help enterprises develop. For example, Jiangnan Woolen Mill is now operated by Fan's Investment Group, and if you are interested, you can negotiate with them, or you can reach a consensus. ”

Then Fan Heng said, "In fact, the Jiangnan Provincial Government mainly hopes to introduce advanced technology to make the textile enterprises in Jiangnan Province more competitive and participate in the international market competition, so we hope to get some help in fabric design, rather than simply expanding the scale of production, just turning Jiangnan Province into a pure production base." ”

After listening to Van Heng's words, Lawreenheimer noticed a problem: the governor in front of him was very different from many officials he had met in China, he seemed to be not very interested in bringing in money, but more focused on bringing in technology, which was really an unexpected discovery.

But then there will be a change in your plans.

Moreover, I don't seem to know much about what Fan's Investment Group is.

Lawreuxheimer thought to himself, after he went back, he would find someone to investigate, who did this Fan's investment group, knowing that the other side could win all battles, he took a sip of the liquor in the cup, felt the unique wine culture in China, and then his eyes lit up, and he found that the beautiful woman who thought she looked very temperamental came over.

"Governor Fan, there is your new document, which was sent by the National Flood Control General Headquarters." Song Qing whispered to Fan Heng, who was drinking with the guests.

"Well, I'll take a look, and you'll be here with them." Fan Heng nodded, and then left the table.

Song Qing said hello to everyone present, and then invited everyone to eat at will, and arranged for the kitchen to hurry up to the specialties of Jiangnan Province, so that these foreigners who had never seen Chinese food could try it.

Lawrenesheimer's eyes have been a little dull since he saw Song Qing, or like an iron nail attracted by a magnet, rotating with Song Qing's figure.

Speaking of which, Song Qing is not stunning, but the whole person looks very temperamental, especially after Fan Heng has been exercising in the officialdom for a period of time in the past few years, she is even more humble and not arrogant, and has an excellent grasp of proportion, plus she also has a deputy department-level position, so that she has already got rid of the immaturity when she just graduated, and turned into a professional woman with an elegant temperament.

Therefore, Lawreensheimer, who is used to messing around in Hollywood flowers, was a little fascinated after seeing Song Qing.

"Qiu, who is that beautiful lady?" Lawreuxheimer asked the interpreter beside him.

The translator surnamed Qiu glanced at Song Qing, and then looked at Lawrensheimer, who looked like a monkey anxiously, and was very disdainful in his heart, saying that this foreign devil just has no cultivation, no patience at all, and he doesn't understand the truth that Mount Tai collapses without changing his face, so he replied, "This is the deputy director of Song Qing of the General Office of the Provincial Government and the secretary of Comrade Fan Heng." ”

"Oh, beautiful female secretary." Lawreensheimer nodded, he didn't know what level of position this deputy director of the provincial government office was, but seeing that Song Qing was not very old, he should be an ordinary white-collar worker, right?

There are no pop-ups
