Offending the Zhang family? I don't want my boss, and I don't want to think about it. Secretary Liu understands very well that the Alice Group must not be allowed to have the idea that the country wants to threaten them to cooperate.

"No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood, or I didn't explain it clearly enough," Secretary Liu hurriedly explained, "We just hope that if your group invests and builds factories in Vietnam in the future, when your group has considerable influence on the Vietnamese government's diplomacy with our country, it can influence the Vietnamese government on some issues related to national interests." Of course, it is entirely up to your company to decide what to do and whether to do it, and we will never interfere with it, nor will we put any obstacles in the way of your group's business activities. ”

Normally, the government department will not say so clearly, but the speech is vague and ambiguous, the reason is very simple, if the speech is too clear, some can be left and right interpretation, there can only be a final explanation, then how to raise the "final interpretation of this activity belongs to the department" invincible stick?

But this time the situation is obviously different, Alice Group and the Zhang family are not "small roles" that can be bullied by themselves - in other words, those characters who are qualified to be bullied by Secretary Liu can't be called "small roles" anyway, right? - On the contrary, at least for a long time in the future, the Alice Group needs them to be a god-like existence, even if Zhang Lan does not agree to this matter, in the long run, the state and Brother Hu have not offended the Alice Group and the Zhang family because of this matter, if you really do that, what kind of brain-dead behavior must be to make such a move.

Zhang Lan is very satisfied with Secretary Liu's response, this guy can "understand current affairs" so much, but he hasn't grown his eyes to the top of his head...... Zhang Lan obviously forgot a little, maybe Secretary Liu can still grow his eyes to the top of his head when he treats other people on weekdays, but at this time, can he afford to toss the only freak in this country?

Zhang Lan can understand that Brother Hu is considering this issue from the perspective of controlling Vietnam's military power, but Brother Hu's perspective on the problem is obviously different from Zhang Lan's, Brother Hu is in the consideration of strengthening his influence on Vietnam, so as to better balance Vietnam in the future, but the problem is that Zhang Lan doesn't think so, cooperate with the country? Of course, there is no problem with this, but this cooperation must be equal to both parties, if Brother Hu wants to dominate the Alice Group with a certain attitude, it will be embarrassing.

Zhang Lan, this kid is the person who will be carried by others to give him face, and for Alice Group, although it is possible to limit the scale of foreign investment in the name of tightening monetary policy under the banner of the financial crisis, but if necessary, there is no problem in investing in a large automobile manufacturing base, not to mention that the cash flow in the hands alone exceeds 100 billion US dollars.

Microsoft has always been proud of its abundant cash flow, and it is said that Microsoft has more than $50 billion in cash in its account at any time, even if Zhang Lan's cash flow of Google, which claimed to be rich in time and space, is not as abundant as Microsoft's, compared with Alice Group, Microsoft is directly a scumbag...... In this world, the group that makes bankers drool wildly but painfully is the Alice Group.

The reason for the drooling is naturally because even a fool knows that Alice Group's profitability is very good, as long as Alice Group can find a loan for himself, it is the most risk-free business in the world; As for the reason for the pain, it is naturally because of the Alice Group. …,

Because Alice Group's cash flow is abundant, cash flow is abundant, which means that they don't need to find bank bandwidth or financing, which means that banks have no way to get a piece of the development of Alice Group, and there is nothing more painful in this world than you look at a fragrant cake in front of you, but you can't go up and take a bite?

"That's right," since Secretary Liu had already made such a statement on behalf of Brother Hu, Zhang Lan naturally knew what he should do, "If that's the case...... Well, what kind of products are being considered in China now and what is the scale of the automobile production plant? ”

That's right, this issue is what Zhang Lan needs to consider, as for the fact that the Vietnamese must be involved in this, it is not within the scope of Zhang Lan's consideration at all, just because the two of them don't have to think about it at all, in this kind of matter, as long as the Republic makes up its mind, the Vietnamese side wants to toss, will they toss?

Finally got through this kid's work, Secretary Liu was relieved, when Brother Hu handed over this character award to him before, to be honest, he was really a little bottomless about whether he could successfully complete this task, although at that time when Brother Hu arranged this task, he didn't frown and agreed without hesitation, but only Secretary Liu knew in his heart that he had gambled a lot of things, but now, everything he paid was worth it, and everything he paid was finally rewarded.

But even so, Secretary Liu's wording is still very cautious, and he did not get carried away because of this, "If there is no problem with the funds on your side, I think that an automobile production base with an annual output of 300,000 cars and 400,000 light and medium-sized trucks should be more appropriate. You used to have the most common type of internal combustion engine models. ”

Although Alice Group is still producing traditional internal combustion engine type cars, cars that can be equipped with internal combustion engine types are generally low-end models, or low-end models of mid-range models, which is the so-called "beggar version", but even if Alice Group has long looked down on traditional internal combustion engines, for Vietnam, the temptation is still great.

"300,000 cars, 400,000 trucks?" Secretary Liu's words made Zhang Lan feel slightly surprised, even if it is just an ordinary engine, this production scale is not small. Having said that, if Secretary Liu dared to let Alice Group produce ceramic engines and fuel cell power systems in Vietnam, the Vietnamese would probably be excited to death, but Zhang Lan dared to fly back to the capital and strangle Secretary Liu to death...... Bastard, can anything be sent out?

Compared with the glorious record of the Republic of China that the annual sales of passenger cars alone have exceeded 10 million, this figure is really inconspicuous, but don't forget, how many people is there in Vietnam? There are less than 87 million!

This population is not even as large as the population of the provinces below the Republic, where there are as many as three provinces with a population of more than 87 million.

With such a small population, the economy is not developed enough, but there are 11 foreign automobile manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota, Daewoo, Hyundai, and General Motors to set up factories here, and in terms of the mainland's economic scale and consumption capacity, a province can also support a car manufacturer with an annual output of 700,000 vehicles, but in Vietnam, such a large place, the population is equivalent to a populous province of the Republic, and there are 11 automobile manufacturers, so you can imagine how fierce the competition will be. …,

Of course, there is no vicious competition, although we are fiercely competitive, but at the same time of competition, we are also silently following an "unspoken rule" that everyone abides by: competition is competition, but can not be malicious bidding, we must ensure that the net profit of each car is more than 30%!

It's just that the original 11 are already fierce enough, and now there is one more Alice car, which is equivalent to the Alice Group grabbing meat from the mouths of these car manufacturers...... That's right, among them, several Japanese automakers are now basically controlled by Alice Group, but even so, they are not fully controlled by Alice Group, and if the damage to the interests of these companies is too serious, other shareholders will also have opinions...... For Alice, who is entering the Vietnamese market for the first time, it can be described as a lot of pressure.

"Yes, I also know that this scale is a bit large, and the Vietnamese market can't digest such a large quantity," Secretary Liu obviously did his homework before, and when he heard Zhang Lan's tone, he knew what the reason for Zhang Lan's surprise was, and said with a smile, "However, Vietnam's domestic market can't digest it, can you sell the cars produced at that time to ASEAN countries, Vietnam is one of the ASEAN member states, and among ASEAN members, the circulation of goods is not taxed or very low taxes, and cars are one of the tax-free products." ”

Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, cars produced in ASEAN member states are tax-free when they circulate among ASEAN countries? Zhang Lan really doesn't know this clause.

This is also normal, although although the scale of trade between Alice Group, Zhangjia Group and ASEAN countries is very large, but for the tax rate of various products flowing between ASEAN countries, Zhang Lan is really not clear, this is also understandable, as a leader, Zhang Lan can not be all-encompassing, there is no time, there is no energy, Zhang Lan This kid is not such a diligent person, after the following people submitted the investigation report, Zhang Lan looked at it and felt that it was feasible, signed and agreed, and then the deployment arrangement can be made, You can't ask Zhang Lan about the tax rate of every kind of goods that flows between countries within ASEAN, right?

Secretary Liu naturally couldn't joke about this kind of thing, Alice also nodded to Zhang Lan, saying that what Secretary Liu said was indeed the truth, if it is a car produced between ASEAN member states, it is tax-free to circulate between ASEAN countries.

Determined this, Zhang Lan's mind immediately opened, Vietnam is not big, but the entire ASEAN has a full 10 countries, before the 80s, ASEAN countries are the garment industry, electronic assembly and other manpower-intensive low-end manufacturing industry processing and manufacturing centers, but with the republic's policy of reform and opening up, so that the continent with lower human resource costs will snatch their business, but to be honest, but in terms of per capita national income level, Most of the ASEAN members have a higher per capita income than the mainland, and the 10 ASEAN members together have more than 560 million, which is definitely a huge market.

Although he couldn't see Zhang Lan's reaction at this moment, Secretary Liu still smiled proudly: a market with a population of 560 million and a purchasing power even greater than that of the mainland is believed to be something that no capitalist can refuse, right?

Zhang Lan really couldn't refuse, and even thought that for such a long time, Alice Group had ignored such a huge market, and had always adopted the practice of producing in the mainland and transporting cars to ASEAN for sale, Zhang Lan felt uncomfortable for a while: he had made a great contribution to the customs of these countries! The money was taken out of Zhang Lan's pocket.

An official said, Alice Group has developed to the present, and with such a large scale, can't even see this? Isn't that? Of course, this is not the case, if the cost of production within ASEAN is really much lower than that in the mainland, how can the marketing elites of Alice Group and Zhangjia Group not find this huge maneuverable space? Is there still a wage earner in this world who doesn't want to make money? …,

Of course, this is not the case, Zhang Lan also thought of the mystery in an instant after understanding what Secretary Liu was referring to.

First of all, even if it is an automobile factory with an annual production capacity of only 700,000 units, including 300,000 passenger cars and 400,000 light trucks and medium trucks, the total investment scale will not be less than 15 billion RMB based on the current price level, and in the process, not counting the cost of employee training.

The existing automobile production plants of Alice Group in mainland China, North America and Europe, although the wages of front-line workers are relatively high, because of the large number of automatic robots, compared with major automobile manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan, the number of front-line production workers has been reduced by more than two-thirds, and the final result is that although the wages of workers in Alice Group are much higher than the wages of front-line workers of several major automobile brands in Europe, America and Japan, because the absolute number of front-line production workers is small, In terms of human resource costs for front-line production workers, which account for the highest production costs, Alice Group's total wage expenditure is more than 30% lower than that of major auto giants in Europe, the United States and Japan.

This figure is terrifying, which means that after saving 30% of workers' wages, the production cost of each car of Alice Group is actually 20% higher than that of major brands in Europe, America and Japan. At the same time, because all the cars of the Alice Group are won by high-tech and high-tech, the price is more than 35% more expensive than similar products......

For the major car brands in Europe, the United States and Japan, they are too sad, because this number means that the profit of every car produced by Alice Group is almost double the profit of the major car brands in Europe, America and Japan!

In addition, the second point is that the government has been giving Alice Group a variety of preferential treatments, and there are various advantages that cannot be humanized in many aspects such as taxation, and at that time, a special accountant calculated for Zhang Lan that tax alone can save more than 38% compared with peers...... Zhang Lan doesn't think that in other countries, she can also enjoy so many benefits that cannot be humane.

The third point, which is also very important, is that among the export products of the Republic, there is also an invincible policy: export tax rebates!

The policy of export tax rebate is simply a big killer, and in the domestic business circles, we can see a very miraculous phenomenon: many merchants who do foreign trade and export business, in order to export, even if they do not make money or even lose a little money, they can do it correctly.

Why do many companies export their products even though they don't make money? The reason is very simple, naturally not the brains of these merchants are all stupid, the fundamental reason is because of the existence of the "export tax rebate" policy set up to stimulate exports, those who do not make money or even lose money have to do business, if you count tax rebates, in fact, it is still quite profitable, which is why Moutai sold in Europe is cheaper than Moutai sold in expensive & state, and there is no need to worry about buying fakes...... Just because the Moutai sold in Europe is cheaper than the Moutai sold in the expensive & state, and there is no limit, many wine drinkers who travel to Europe and the United States on business like to buy as much Moutai as possible and the maximum value allowed by the customs policy.

There are these three combined, but in terms of the production cost of automobiles, the production cost of Alice Group in China is actually lower than that produced abroad, even if Vietnam opens a factory to produce automobiles, just the construction cost of the factory and personnel training costs, the investment of more than 15 billion RMB, how long will it take to earn back in the ASEAN market? From this point of view, the marketing elites of Alice Group and Zhangjia Group did not miscalculate at all.

But now the situation is different, first of all, since Vietnam wants to let Alice Group invest and set up factories in Vietnam, this preferential force cannot be small, otherwise Alice Group itself will not agree;

Secondly, the Republic needs Alice Group to produce in Vietnam is only some "low-end" models, these low-end models, in Alice's car product line, almost reduced to a supplementary existence, but if it is in Vietnam and ASEAN countries, it can even get rid of the low-end image and jump into the local high-end car market...... Don't laugh, it's true, just like Poussin, which was originally just a low-end car of Volkswagen, after being introduced to our country, it became a serious mid-to-high-end model, or a model very close to the high-end.

So at this moment, Zhang Lan is indeed a little moved: to impact the Vietnamese automobile market with the technology that Alice Group looks down on, and at the same time to make money, it can also expand the influence of Alice Group in Vietnam, this business seems to be ...... What a thing to do!
