Obviously, when the Germans invested 100 million US dollars to open a factory in Osan and the Chinese government ambitiously vowed to build a "Chinese Silicon Valley" in Osan after the news appeared in the newspapers and was verified, countries are willing to explore overseas markets, especially enterprises that originally had the intention of investing in China, finally set their sights on this emerging city in northern China.

Among them, in addition to Hong Kong businessmen (British businessmen), the most interested in Osan is the Japanese enterprises that are eager to open the door to China, compared with the Southern Special Economic Zone, Osan is closer to Japan, has a developed shipping base, and Osan is close to Beijing, perhaps it is a place coveted by the Japanese, and now there is a huge amount of German capital as a pioneer, and the Chinese government's ambitious development Jihua, the Japanese businessmen in the new era naturally swarm like flies that see the cracked eggs.

At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Zheng just returned to the office, Chen Sanshui, director of the investment promotion office, came to Lu Zheng's office, the 77-level Peking University graduate was so busy these days, a month ago, he was still running around for a Hong Kong glasses company's investment of 70,000 US dollars, a few days ago, he proudly reported his results to Director Lu Zheng, and now, the business group he received is obviously much higher, and there is even no shortage of well-known multinational companies.

Today, Chen Sanshui met with a representative of one of Japan's most important conglomerates, and the business card that Chen Sanshui handed to Lu Zheng was printed with "Taro Yamamoto, chief representative of the Bank of Japan's China Osan Representative Office."

"Director, the representative of Mitsubishi has been sitting in my room for a long time, I hope to meet you, Qin Huailiang, secretary general of the municipal party committee, has called and asked us to receive you well."

Lu Zheng bowed slightly, he had dealt with Qin Huailiang a few times, and he was oily, and the oily and shiny middle part made Lu Zheng dislike it, but this secretary general of the municipal party committee was very much loved by Duan Zhongzhong, secretary of the municipal party committee, although the secretary general of the committee (office director) is not yet able to enter the regular office, but the treatment of attending the Standing Committee as an observer shows his status in political life. Qin Huailiang, not long after he was promoted, is a department-level cadre, but he is afraid that he is the hottest person among the department-level cadres in Wushan.

"Bring it here." Lu Zheng said casually, got up and went to make a cup of tea.

After a while, there was a gentle knock on the office door, and behind Chen Sanshui was a middle-aged man, with a fat head and big ears, and the Ren Danhu on his lips was almost the symbol of a middle-aged Japanese man, thinking about it, he was Taro Yamamoto.

When Chen Sanshui introduced Lu Zheng: "This is our Director Lu", Taro Yamamoto bowed very respectfully, handed over his business card, and muttered a lot of Japanese, and followed him with glasses to translate, which was nothing more than kind words such as "Please take care of Director Lu".

Lu Zheng had dealt with the Japanese in his previous life, and was very familiar with the character of some Japanese businessmen, seemingly humble, but in fact arrogant, no matter how polite on the surface, in his bones, few people could afford to look up to the Chinese.

Lu Zheng got up with a smile and shook hands with him, Taro Yamamoto's palm was very thick, and it was quite comfortable to hold.

"Mr. Yamamoto, does Mitsubishi have a representative office in Osan in our country? How did I not know? After Lu Zheng motioned for Taro Yamamoto to sit on the sofa opposite the coffee table, he asked a little strangely.

Taro Yamamoto bowed his head and said "Hai", as if to apologize, and then muttered.

The tall, thin translator with glasses said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yamamoto, said that it was his negligence. ”

"Although the People's Bank of your country has approved our request to set up a representative office in your city, the relevant procedures have just been obtained from the People's Bank of your city, and the approval of your municipal government has not yet been obtained.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly.

According to the Administrative Measures for Representative Offices of Foreign Financial Institutions in China, foreign financial institutions applying to set up offices in China need to apply to the People's Bank of China to set up representative offices in provincial capitals, and shall submit the application materials to the local provincial branches of the People's Bank of China; To set up a representative office in another city, the application materials shall be submitted to the local municipal branch of the People's Bank of China; After the application materials are reviewed by the local branch of the People's Bank of China, the branch will forward them to the head office of the People's Bank of China for review and approval.

There are six types of application materials submitted to the People's Bank of China: (1) an application letter signed by the chairman or general manager to the president of the People's Bank of China; (2) The business license (copy) or legal business certificate (copy) issued by the relevant competent authority of the country or region where it is located; (3) The articles of association of the company, the list of members of the board of directors or major partners; (4) Annual reports for the three years preceding the application; (5) A letter of approval issued by the financial regulatory authority of the country or region where it is located agreeing to establish a representative office in China, or a letter of recommendation issued by the industry association where it is located; (6) Other materials required to be submitted by the People's Bank of China.

After the People's Bank of China head office or relevant branch is approved, the applicant needs to register with the relevant government department of the representative office within 30 days, which in the case of Osan is the Planning and Economic Planning Commission, which reviews the documents and materials and issues the approval certificate in accordance with government regulations.

Lu Zheng now knows that Taro Yamamoto Weishenme has come to see him, and since he is applying for the process of establishing a representative office Zuihou, now this matter is the management of the investment promotion office, to be exact, he needs to sign by himself.

But to be honest, I don't have the final decision, I must sign, otherwise no one will be able to spare him, whether it is Secretary Duan of the Municipal Party Committee or Mayor Huang Mingtai.

However, to do business in Oshan, it is natural to have a good relationship with the local officials who are responsible for attracting investment, and in terms of personal contacts, all East Asian countries are almost the same, and they all have a certain degree of official and business complexes, and businessmen must have a good relationship with the government and officials, so as to obtain the greatest benefits.

That's why Taro Yamamoto came to visit him.

"Director Lu Zheng, this is some information from our Mitsubishi Bank." Under the guidance of Taro Yamamoto's gaze, the glasses translator sent a small paper bag to the coffee table in front of Lu Zheng with both hands.

Lu Zheng smiled and nodded.

In fact, how can Lu Zheng not know about the past and present life of Mitsubishi Bank?

Mitsubishi, Japan's largest consortium, was founded during the Meiji Restoration, and since then, Mitsubishi and its controllers, the Iwasaki family, have gradually developed into one of Japan's major chaebols.

As Japan continued to wage wars, domestic demand for military products surged, and the Mitsubishi industry, with heavy industry as the main body, achieved unprecedented development.

During World War II, "Mitsubishi" produced all kinds of bombs, artillery, aircraft carriers and all kinds of large battleships for the military, and it can be said that Mitsubishi made great contributions to Japan's invasion of China, Southeast Asia and the United States. During the invasion of Shanghai, China, the Japanese army invested eight aircraft carriers and more than 30 battleships, all of which were made by Mitsubishi.

At the end of World War II, the Japanese zaibatsu were all disbanded at the behest of the Allies, and Mitsubishi was also dismantled.

In the 50s, however, the presidents and chairmen of Mitsubishi Zaibatsu's major companies began to form informal organizations such as the Mitsubishi Friday Meeting in order to exchange information and connect with each other.

Unlike the Mitsubishi chaebol before the war, which was centered on the Mitsubishi Headquarters, after the war, the Mitsubishi Group was established as an equal among the companies of the Mitsubishi series. However, the group is more cohesive than other conglomerates. The core companies of the Mitsubishi Group have also made significant contributions to the development of Japan's heavy chemical industry.

It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as the limits of the pacifist constitution are broken, Mitsubishi will soon be able to arm Japan into a military superpower.

Facing Mitsubishi's visitors, Lu Zheng's heart was also full of ups and downs, full of emotion.

If it was just when he was discharged from the army, before he was reborn, when he saw this Mitsubishi Japanese, Lu Zheng might have slapped him in the face, "Get out!" Then, follow up with a few more kicks, and if you have a gun in your hand, maybe you will smash a few butts.

But now Lu Zheng knows what patience and learning are, the Japanese have something worth learning from us, and in today's environment, they can't afford to go wild.

As for saying that the majority of the Japanese people are friendly to China, that is simply a lie. In the 80s, after all, China is a poor and backward image in the eyes of the Japanese, as a "strong man", coupled with the political need to be exempted from the reparations of the defeated countries, the Japanese have provided a large number of various interest-free loans, but if China develops further, the mentality of the Japanese island country will inevitably recur, and China will not be allowed to develop to the day when it can compete with it, and in the whole of Japan, the people who are friendly to China are only a small handful of people, including the war of aggression launched before World War II, and it is only self-deception to say that ordinary people are blinded.

"Director Lu Zheng, Mr. Yamamoto said, tonight at the Wuzhou Hotel, please be sure to come, Secretary General Qin Huailiang of the Municipal Party Committee will also be present." Yamamoto grunted and then translated with glasses.

Lu Zheng laughed, the Japanese think, many times it is similar to the Chinese, and when they move out of Qin Huailiang, they don't want to refuse.

"Well, I'll be there." Lu Zheng smiled and nodded, Mitsubishi Bank? I should pay more attention to it.

Taro Yamamoto listened to Lu Zheng's words relayed by the translator, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his chubby face.

Lu Zheng had already opened the information of Mitsubishi Bank on the coffee table.
