"Attention passengers on flight 34U to Sydney: passengers with small children or requiring special assistance are requested to start boarding. PASSENGERS TRAVELLING TO THE UNITED STATES ARE REMINDED THAT CHECK-IN FOR FLIGHTS TO HARRISBURG HAS BEGUN, AND THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET REGISTERED ARE ADVISED TO PROCEED TO THE CHECK-IN WINDOW IMMEDIATELY TO CHECK IN. ”

At 6 p.m., the Kai Tak Airport terminal was crowded with people, and there was a long queue outside the security checkpoint.

There was still nearly an hour and a half before the plane took off, and Zhang Lin did not rush through the security check, but used the last bit of time to say goodbye to the brother-in-law and eldest sister who came to see them off.

“…… Joint ventures have the advantages of joint ventures, which can improve business reputation and obtain financial credit, especially in the procurement of raw materials and product sales, which are very beneficial to us. But we should also see the disadvantages of joint ventures, the company is registered in Hong Kong after all, internationalization is also the direction of development that we have long determined, funds and management personnel from different countries and regions, different socio-political and legal systems, different cultural backgrounds, resulting in business philosophy, decision-making thinking, behavior will naturally be very different, so it is inevitable that there will be management conflicts in the process of cooperation.

The year before last, McKinsey & Company and Cooper Ribland issued an independent report pointing out that 70% of joint ventures did not meet the expected goals or were dissolved, and the average life span of joint ventures was less than half of the time specified in the agreement. In short, the failure rate of joint ventures is very high, so when negotiating specifically, it is important to take all aspects into account. ”

Two years ago, joint ventures were the only way for China to attract foreign investors and foreign investment in China. In the course of development in the past few years, Sino-foreign joint ventures have indeed reflected their own advantages and characteristics.

However, the charter is clearer that this is only temporary.

At the beginning of the joint venture, there is a "honeymoon period", both parties are aware of their own interests, although there will be some difficulties in operation and management, but the early cooperation is generally relatively smooth.

But as the enterprise gets bigger and bigger, and the cooperation gets closer and closer, there will inevitably be many conflicts and problems. After the "honeymoon period", you will enter a long period of instability. In previous lives, many foreign companies were tired of being forced to share operational control with inefficient Chinese state-owned companies, so more and more foreign companies abandoned the joint venture model in favor of sole proprietorship.

Liu Siwei has worked in the SAR for nearly eight years and is not very interested in joint ventures.

However, the industry in which NB Electric is engaged has decided that if you want to really open up the domestic power equipment market, you must take this step. Moreover, the company's financial situation has only improved from when it first started, and it is not as glamorous as it seems.

"Don't worry, I will invite the most professional people and the strongest force in the organization to talk to the Chinese side, and it is our bottom limit to grasp the management and operation leadership, and even if the talks collapse, it is impossible to make concessions."

Liu Siwei glanced up at the electronic clock, and then said: "In terms of equity, I will also strive for it, Guangdu has an office in Hong Kong, and I will invite them to visit the headquarters to inspect and inspect the system engineering and application development laboratory, and include the few achievements just made by the system engineering and application development laboratory as technology shares." ”

The charter nodded slightly, and said sincerely: "Brother-in-law, you are a senior accountant, and I really don't have anything to worry about in terms of equity." It's just that as soon as I left like this, all the pressure fell on your shoulders alone, and I felt a little unhappy. ”

"Don't talk to two families as a family, this is what I should do."

For fear of delaying the charter boarding, Liu Siwei glanced up at the electronic clock again, and saw that there was still nearly an hour, so he said worriedly: "Third brother, in order to ensure that the listing at the end of the year, there must be no flaw in the accounts of NB electricians. Leaving the profits from the sales of industrial appliances in Europe to you is all I can do this year, otherwise the operation of the Heung Kong factory and headquarters will be affected. ”

It is difficult to start a business, and this family is not easy to do.

The charter was mixed, and he was silent for a while before he whispered: "Brother-in-law, this year is the most difficult year, as long as we can cross this hurdle, it will definitely be smooth sailing in the future." ”

"You mean the East Mark?"

"Well," the charter said seriously, "East Mark is not just speculation for us, but will also be a springboard for the company's second take-off like a switch panel, as for why...... In any case, you must sign a joint venture agreement with the government of the city before April, and you can borrow as much as you can, and you can even make some concessions on interest and exchange rates. ”

"What happens after the loan is received?"

"I will be of great use to the American banks in Hong Kong by the end of the year at the latest."

"Okay, I'll borrow as much as I can."

was talking, Zhang Hui and Zhang Lin, who were still talking and laughing just now, suddenly hugged their heads and cried, the most painful thing in life is to be separated from their relatives, Charter and Liu Siwei hurriedly comforted each other, until the radio came to the flight to Frankfurt to start check-in, and then pushed the suitcase to the security check reluctantly.

Lufthansa flight DH7081, Airbus 300 aircraft, takes more than a dozen hours from Hong Kong to Frankfurt, with a refueling in Doha in between.

There were no cigarettes, no Moutai, and it was a late-night "red-eye flight", and the cabin was exceptionally quiet. Put on an eye patch, put on a blanket, and wake up into the skies over Europe.

went to the bathroom to soothe his hands and feet, only to find that Zhang Lin's eyes were dark, and he obviously didn't sleep well this night.

"San'er, are we really going to West Berlin?"

"Well, our overseas colleagues are waiting for us at the airport and will transfer directly to Berlin."

Founded in 794 AD, Frankfurt is the fourth largest city in the Federal Republic of Germany, home to the Deutsche Bundesbank, as well as the headquarters of the European Bank and the German Stock Exchange, known as the "Manhattan am Main".

The exit procedures to Hong Kong are not easy to handle, and I didn't go through the customs at the Luohu port until the day before departure, preparing this and packing that, and I couldn't even take care of eating, let alone going out to play. Now that I finally came to Frankfurt and had to transfer directly to West Berlin, Zhang Lin was very disappointed and muttered to herself: "I thought I could play for two days." ”

The charter gave her a roll of the eyes: "Sister, we are here to work." ”

Thinking that he couldn't help anything, it was simply a burden, Zhang Lin's heart gradually became a little bitter, and he said self-deprecatingly: "I can't even speak English, what kind of work can I do, do your laundry and cooking, and be a nanny for you?" ”

The charter was happy and quipped: "The revolutionary division of labor is different, and laundry, cooking, and being a nanny are also jobs." ”

"If I knew it wouldn't have come."

"Didn't the ticket money go for nothing?"

The charter's face was straight, and he said matter-of-factly: "My brother-in-law said that he will work for four years at most, and after four years, he will take his eldest sister to travel around the world." You are the only person in our family who can be admitted to university, and you will definitely take over from your brother-in-law in charge of the company in the future, so you can't give up on yourself. ”

Unlike Chen Baolin, who had no heart and lungs, Zhang Lin really couldn't stand such a lot of pressure, and said with a sad face: "San'er, aren't you doing a good job, why do you want to pull me up?" If I had a choice, I'd rather be like my eldest sister and not care about anything. ”

"But I seem to remember someone saying that I should make good money for her to go to school, and then come and help me when she learns real skills in the future."

Zhang Lin sighed, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "I didn't expect that the business would be so big, at most I would help you manage the accounts like Aunt Gu or something, how did I know that I would have to take over such a big company." ”

"That's why you have to study hard," she patted her arm, pretending to be old-fashioned, and said earnestly: "Second sister, the heavens are entrusted to the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skins, even if we have not difficulty to that extent." In short, you still have four years to go, and you must make good use of these four years to prepare for taking over the company. ”

"What about you, should you also travel around the world like the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law?"

"I'd like to, but I'm not at ease, I'm going to have to get you on the horse and give you a ride, right? Besides, I am more interested in R&D, and I am likely to serve as the director of the NB laboratory or the director of the academic committee in the future, and I can not only give you technical backing, but also give you advice, one is responsible for R&D, and the other is responsible for operation, how good! ”

"That's what you think?"

It would be hellish to think that the future charter of the family business could be clearer than anyone else, but in order to let her stay in Germany honestly, she solemnly confirmed: "Of course, people's energy is limited, I am dedicated to research and development, who else can I hand over the company to you?" ”

Zhang Lin spontaneously felt a strong sense of responsibility, gritted his silver teeth, and said with a firm face: "Since you believe in me so much, then I'll try." ”

The Overseas Department has set up a representative office in West Berlin, and the previous plan could be changed.

What's more, the second sister is rare to be arrogant, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she struck while the iron was hot and said: "Humboldt University is very famous, but it was the former Humboldt University. Since Humboldt University was transferred to East Berlin, academic freedom has been limited to a certain extent, and in order to pursue ideals and academic freedom, many teachers and students have left the original university and established Freie Universität Berlin with the support of Western countries. You don't have an East German visa and you won't be able to go to East Berlin for a while, so I recommend that you apply to Freie Universität in West Berlin. ”

The political situation in East Germany was unstable, and I heard that many people risked their lives to climb over the Berlin Wall in order to go to West Germany, Zhang Lin suddenly shook his head again and again: "No, East Germany is so dangerous, how can I let you go to East Germany alone?" ”

"Isn't it more dangerous for you to go to a girl's family?" The charter smiled and said confidently: "Besides, East Germany is not as terrible as you imagined, I am a foreign guest invited by them, it is part of the talent exchange program, it is too late to welcome me, how can it be dangerous?" ”
