Chapter 57: A Trip to Vietnam

Li Ziyao was very disappointed by the contact results, and the operator of NB Electric actually claimed that the chairman was not there. If you need to place an order, you can transfer it to the company's business department, and if you want to see the chairman, you can make an appointment on your behalf.

The operator did not open his mouth, and NB Electric did not avoid it, but the chairman and the articles of association really went abroad.

In order to ensure that NB Electric will not be like the famous Hua Wei Company in the future, due to its unclear political background, resulting in it being guarded like a thief no matter which country it enters, and even being repeatedly sued in court, the charter decided to take advantage of the fact that before the normalization of Sino-Vietnamese relations, a high-profile visit to Vietnam, signed several investment intention agreements, and took precautions to make a political cut.

Before 97, Hong Kong was still a British colony, and the Vietnamese consulate in Hong Kong was not affected by the Sino-Vietnamese border conflict, and not only worked normally, but also stationed several more senior diplomats to negotiate with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the British government in Hong Kong on the issue of Vietnamese boat people.

Since the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) in 1986 established the general line of reform and development of "a commodity economy operated in accordance with the market mechanism, managed by the state, adhering to the socialist orientation, and with multiple components", Hong Kong business people have been attracted by Vietnam's economic reform and have flocked to Vietnam in search of investment and trade opportunities.

In just two years, Hong Kong's economic relations with Vietnam have developed rapidly, and Vietnam has become Vietnam's most important economic partner at this stage.

In this context, NB Electric has just revealed its investment intention through the Hong Kong Vietnam Chamber of Commerce, and has received a positive response from the Vietnamese government. Half a month before the departure of overseas colleagues, a deputy director of the Foreign Investment Bureau of the Ministry of Planning and Investment of Vietnam, accompanied by the Commercial Counselor of the Vietnamese Consulate, paid a friendly visit to the Hong Kong headquarters of NB Electric.

After returning home, an invitation letter was issued in the name of the Ministry of Planning and Investment of Vietnam.

Therefore, the company's chairman Liu Siwei, chief engineer charter, Australian deputy general manager of the overseas department, and a Vietnamese Hong Kong translator officially embarked on the journey under the arrangement of the Vietnamese consulate. As for the company's other Vietnamese-Hong Kong Nguyen Shaojing, because of his political stance, he did not go along, but rushed to Europe with Daniel, the general manager of the overseas department, and was fully responsible for the promotion of NB electrical products in France.

“…… In the afternoon, you can visit the West Lake, you can also rest in the room, and in the evening, Vice Minister Li will personally attend the welcome banquet, which is today's schedule. Mr. Liu, if there is no doubt, then I will take my leave first, if there is any need, just mention it to the chief secretary, and we will see you in the banquet hall in the evening. ”

"Director Huang, although you are busy, we will take care of ourselves."

The Vietnamese side was very enthusiastic, and as soon as they got off the plane, they arranged everyone to the most upscale Victory Hotel in Hanoi.

The hotel is located in the suburbs, on the east side of the famous scenic West Lake, is a beautiful and elegant three-storey water building, the rooms are open, the door side is an open corridor, and the large glass windows face the vast West Lake. Walking up to the balcony, you can breathe in the humid water vapor of the West Lake.

As soon as they sent off the deputy director of the Foreign Investment Bureau of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, Liu Siwei and others visited the beautiful West Lake with great interest.

“…… With an area of about 500 hectares, the West Lake is the largest lake in Hanoi and has become a famous attraction in the capital of the capital as early as the time of the Li Dynasty in Thang Long (Hanoi). ”

The chief secretary is very talkative and speaks very good English, unlike the "Kiid" (short for GID Vietnam Spy Service agent) who was specially sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to monitor.

He sat on the bow of the boat, and introduced with a fluttering eyebrow: "There are many legends about the West Lake, one of which is the most widespread, saying that in ancient times, there were two fairies in the sky who went down to earth privately, and did not dare to stay in the world for a long time for fear of violating the rules of heaven, and when they returned to heaven, they each threw down a dressing mirror from the clouds to show their souvenir, and the two mirrors fell on Hangzhou, China and our Hanoi respectively, so they became two beautiful West Lakes. ”

"What a beautiful legend!"

Blending into the surrounding lakes and mountains, Liu Siwei couldn't help but quip: "I'm here at Hanoi West Lake, and it seems that I have the opportunity to go to Hangzhou West Lake to have a look and find another mirror." ”

"Mr. Liu's investment in China, hasn't he ever been to China's West Lake?"

A very intriguing question, the charter does not want to make trouble, and said: "Mr. Chairman is very busy, how can he have time to travel around." Just like this trip to Hanoi, I personally really want to visit Ha Long Bay, but the schedule is too tight, and I will return to Hong Kong tomorrow night, so I can only leave a good regret. ”

The chief secretary not only knew that the big boy with a Panamanian passport in front of him was from China, but also knew that he had dozens of invention patents, so he asked with a silent smile: "Mr. Engineer, have you ever been to West Lake in China?" ”

"Unfortunately, I haven't been there either."

"It's a shame, you have every chance to go."

The charter nodded slightly, and smiled meaningfully: "Yes, just like Halong Bay, there will always be a chance to go in the future." After all, as an engineer, you can be popular everywhere, long secretary, what do you say? ”

"It is indeed very popular," the chief secretary smiled tacitly, and suddenly changed his words: "Mr. Chairman, as far as I know, your company's investment in China has been very successful, given the delicate relationship between the two countries, can you explain why you are interested in investing in China?" ”

Meeting with the deputy minister in the evening was just a ceremony, and the so-called secretary in front of him was the real negotiator.

Liu Siwei knew this, pondered for a moment, and said sincerely: "Secretary Long, we are just ordinary businessmen, not politicians. In business, where there is a future for development, we will invest there. At present, your country's investment environment is better than China's, especially the political situation and economic stability are relatively commendable, which is why this trip to Hanoi was made. ”

The chief secretary asked: "Does this mean that you are not optimistic about China's reform and opening up?" ”

"I can't say the same, it's just that the price trend in China some time ago left a deep impression on me. Especially for those of us who are engaged in business, a relatively stable economic environment is too important. For example, the price of raw materials, such as the wages of workers, must be taken into account, otherwise it is difficult for our products to be competitive in the international market. ”

The early death of a leader may be a blessing for a country.

After the death of "Uncle Hu", the regime change in Vietnam was relatively smooth, and there were hardly any waves. Although the economy is backward, prices have generally remained at a level acceptable to the vast majority of people.

The chief secretary, who was extremely disgusted with China, thought deeply of this and said proudly: "Mr. Chairman, our government will never let you down like our neighbors, as long as you invest sincerely, you will get a corresponding return." ”

"I think so too."

After the final political review was passed, the chief secretary immediately asked the boatman to dock and called a large group of officials from the Foreign Investment Bureau to formally negotiate with Liu Siwei and the charter.

“…… Recruitment details such as the number of employees, positions, salaries, working conditions, etc. can be advertised or posted on radio and television. The recruitment application form is subject to Announcement No. 20, and there are several mandatory provisions in the recruitment process, which must be noted, firstly, your company can only recruit 3% of foreign employees. ”

"I doubt that."

- Pierce put down his pen and paper and pointed out bluntly: "Before the factory starts, our company must first set up an office or branch in Hanoi to be responsible for the preparation and preparation of the relevant procedures, and the number of foreign employees must exceed 3%. ”

The chief secretary weighed it and agreed: "Special treatment in special cases, but it must be approved by the Hanoi City People's Committee." ”

"Okay, you go ahead."

"According to the detailed rules for calculating the difference in wage grades in paragraph 3, the difference in wage grades shall be registered with the Labor Department and publicly announced to the employees, the maximum salary shall not exceed Rp 500,000, the minimum wage, that is, the salary of general simple staff shall not be less than Rp 100,000, overtime pay shall be 150% for working days, 200% on weekends and other statutory holidays, and overtime hours shall not exceed 200 hours throughout the year."

Liu Siwei glanced at each other and nodded, "We have no doubt about this." ”

……

After an afternoon of intense negotiations, a letter of intent for an investment of $2 million was finally issued and sent to the Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Hanoi City People's Committee for review.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the banquet hall of the Victory Hotel was crowded and lively.

Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment of Vietnam, Mayor of Hanoi, and several members of the Hanoi City People's Committee, accompanied by the Chairman and Deputy Director of the Foreign Investment Bureau, welcomed the delegation of Hong Kong NB Electric Co., Ltd.

The leaders of the ministry spoke, the media interviewed, and they were very busy, and a grand signing ceremony was held after the dinner. Under the continuous shining of magnesium lights, the mayor of Hanoi and the chairman of NB Electric, Liu Siwei, signed two letters of intent respectively.

In order to reflect the enthusiasm of the Vietnamese people, but also to prevent the duck from flying away. Early the next morning, at the suggestion of the chief secretary, the Hanoi City Government specially arranged two cars to send the charter and his party to visit Halong Bay. Compared with those Hong Kong businessmen who engage in trade, NB Electric, which is willing to pay real money to invest, is more popular.

Members of the Hanoi City People's Committee and Government personally accompanied them, police cars drove the way, and television stations interviewed them throughout the whole process, and they were not sent to the airport until lunch was eaten at the Ha Long Bay Hotel.
