Chapter 033 Investment Conference
Shanghai Higher Industrial School, the leisurely and quiet campus in the past, is very lively and lively at this time. Not far from the school gate, there is a banner hanging on it: "Recruitment and Investment Promotion Conference for Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools in Southern Sichuan".
If it weren't for the comings and goings of students wearing strong Republican-style school uniforms, Wang Mo would really have the illusion that he was back in the 21st century.
"Ziwen, the idea of this investment conference is good. But can you really offer an interest-free loan? This is not one or two factories, and the machinery and equipment of so many factories will cost millions of oceans, to say the least. Tang Wenzhi, who was standing next to Wang Mo, said to Wang Mo while inspecting the preparations for the conference.
"Sir, you can rest assured, in fact, the machinery and equipment of various factories have been bought, and it is estimated that this time it should be shipped back to the southern Sichuan area. This investment conference is just to select suitable candidates to operate the factory. Wang Mo said matter-of-factly.
Of course, this is not true. However, Wang Mo did not lie, he can buy all kinds of machinery and equipment from the industrial machine at any time, and the price is only one-third or one-fifth of the market price, and even one-tenth of some profiteering equipment. Ostensibly he offered interest-free loans to buy machinery and equipment for the factory owners, but in fact he had made a lot of money.
Tang Wenzhi was very satisfied with Wang Mo's answer, nodded appreciatively, and said with emotion: "If the local forces all over the country are like your Wang family, why worry that the country is not rich and strong, and the people are not healthy? ”
Wang Mo hurriedly said: "Mr. is too famous, the kid is just doing a little bit for his hometown fathers." To have such a strong help from Mr. is really the luck of the Sichuan and Shu fathers. ”
"Okay, Ziwen, you don't have to say these polite words to the old man. I heard that you have spent a lot of money in the past two days to dig up a lot of doctors and nurses in major hospitals to go to Sichuan? Why, you kid is going to hollow out all the talents in Shanghai before you stop? Tang Wenzhi joked to Wang Mo.
Even Tang Wenzhi, who was at school all day, knew about it, and it seemed that the action of poaching people was a bit too big.
Wang Mo touched his nose a little embarrassed and said, "This...... This junior can't help it, Sichuan is poor and white, money and things are okay, it's just this person who can't solve it, so ......"
Tang Wenzhi smiled slightly: "The old man didn't blame you, building a hospital is also a good thing for the country and the people, it's good that you can have this kind of hollowing out your mind to build your hometown." It's a pity that Brother Xiao Min went to Nanjing to take up the post of Minister of Education, otherwise he would definitely like a junior like you. ”
Speaking of Cai Yuanpei, Wang Mo was also very regretful. A few days ago, he was so busy fighting with the Youth Gang that he didn't have time to see Cai Yuanpei at all, but now Cai Yuanpei has gone to Nanjing to take up the post of Minister of Education.
Thinking of the matter of the Green Gang, it is estimated that this concession is lively. Wang Mo's trick to the four seas car dealer branch is that once the other halls of the Qing Gang want to flood into Xuhui District, then create chaos, fight with the Qing Gang, and destroy the order of the concession, so as to coerce the foreigners to suppress the Qing Gang. In order to create enough impact, Wang Mo also deliberately left ten boxes of grenades for Liu Dahai and others.
As long as the Ministry of Industry of the Concession comes forward to suppress the Green Gang, then the rest is a matter of negotiating with the Green Gang. Liu Dahai and the others still have chips like Shui Ye in their hands, and they can't afford to lose anything in negotiations.
As time went on, the campus became more and more lively, with graduates and business people rushing to come.
Wang Mo gave Tang Wenzhi carte blanche to recruit teachers, believing that the effect of this respected educator was thousands of times better than his. He concentrated on dealing with the matter of attracting investment, and selected suitable industrialists to run factories in Sichuan, but it was not just a random speculator who could get his support.
At this investment conference, Wang Mo advertised in major newspapers in Shanghai for three consecutive days, and at the same time, he also asked Qin Xianglin to widely announce to Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles. Therefore, today's investment promotion conference is well known to everyone in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles, and many speculators with far-sighted vision and a bargain-picking mentality have rushed to attend the conference.
Sitting in a specially vacated classroom at the Shanghai Higher Industrial School, Wang Mo sipped tea while reading with relish the various news in the newspaper condemning the concession authorities' failure to maintain order in the concession.
"Young master, there are already a lot of people outside, do you want to let them in one by one?" Chen Shishi walked in and reported to Wang Mo.
Wang Mo put down the newspaper and said, "Well, you go and inform the people outside, let them come in one by one, and bring their business plans." ”
In order to prevent speculators from fishing in troubled waters, Wang Mo published an advertisement in the newspaper specifically requiring any industrial and commercial person who came to attend the investment promotion conference to bring a business plan.
"Got it, young master." Chen Shishi answered and turned to go out, and soon brought someone in.
To Wang Mo's surprise, the first person to come in turned out to be Qin Xianglin.
Wang Mo hurriedly got up and bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Director Qin, Director Qin, didn't I say it before, I have already decided on the quota of your Taihe, you don't have to come here to participate in the screening." ”
"Wang Gongzi, it's better to go through the process according to the rules, so as not to say anything to others." Qin Xianglin returned the salute, and then handed the business plan in his hand to Wang Mo.
Wang Mo took the business plan, flipped through it casually, and then put it aside, and said, "Since Director Qin is here, you might as well take a look at the situation of these industrial and commercial people who have signed up for the screening." ”
Qin Xianglin agreed without much thought, he came here this time to get acquainted with the industrial and commercial people who will go to Sichuan to set up factories in the future, and expand their contacts, which will be of great benefit to the future development of Taihe Textile Factory in Sichuan.
The few people who came in later were either from the silk reeling factory, or from the printing and dyeing factory, most of them were the partners of the Taihe Textile Factory pulled by Qin Xianglin, Wang Mo carefully looked at the information and business planning plan of these people, and found no major problems, so he approved it very quickly.
After all, the people who came to participate in the investment conference were mixed, and many of them were not industrial and commercial people at all, but simply wanted to come and fish in troubled waters to see if they could pick up the cheap. For example, one of them strongly asked Wang Mo to pay the interest-free loan directly in cash, and he would find a way to buy the machinery and equipment himself.
"It's not contemptible people who are bragging, contemptible people in all countries have a way, and they can buy the world's most advanced machinery and equipment at half price. Mr. Wang, since you have the means to buy better and cheaper machinery and equipment, the interest-free loan you provided is not too much to ask for in cash. Shen Lian, who claimed to be a comprador of a foreign bank, said in a suit and leather shoes.
Wang Mo looked the comprador of the foreign bank up and down, shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm afraid this won't work, interest-free loans can't be paid directly in cash anyway." As for the convenience of machinery and equipment, Mr. Shen can rest assured. I assure you that no matter which machine and equipment you want in which country in the world, I can purchase it on your behalf, and it is the lowest price in the market. ”
Shen Lian shouted dissatisfiedly: "Young man, don't talk so much, you can buy every machine and equipment in every country in the world, just by virtue of your Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army nested in the poor countryside of Sichuan, can you have this way?" ”
From this Shen Lian was so determined to ask for cash, Wang Mo felt wrong, and said coldly: "Mr. Shen, whether there is such a way is our problem. I repeat, there is absolutely no possibility that an interest-free loan will pay directly in cash. ”
Wang Mo's resolute attitude made Shen Lian stunned, and then shouted: "What kind of interest-free loan of yours is just a disguise, who knows if you will casually stuff us with some broken copper and iron, and then force us to take out the loan?" ”
Wang Mo's face became more and more gloomy: "Mr. Shen, are you trying to make trouble?" ”
Shen Lian didn't care about Wang Mo's cold gaze at all, and continued to shout: "What kind of investment, what kind of interest-free loan, I think it's all a lie, why don't you let everyone use cash to purchase machinery and equipment freely?" ”
"Throw him out!" Wang Mo waved his hand, and then two special combat team members stepped forward to hold Shen Lian and dragged him out of the classroom.
"Liars, you are all liars, any interest-free loans, all liars!" Shen Lian, who was dragged out, kept shouting loudly.
Wang Mo is not worried that Shen Lian's shouting will affect the industrialists who really want to set up factories in Sichuan, because once they pass the screening, Wang Mo will sign strict contracts with those industrialists, and the contract stipulates that interest-free loans are used to purchase specific models of machinery and equipment, origins, and so on.
99 out of 10 people who asked for interest-free loans to pay cash directly were speculators who wanted to run away with the money, and even if Wang Mo did not use the industrial machine to buy machinery and equipment, it was impossible for them to leave such a loophole.
After sending a few more unsuitable candidates, Wang Mo was very surprised to see a very young candidate, you know, most of the industrial and commercial people who came to sign up for the conference were in their thirties and forties, and some were in their fifties and sixties. A young man about 20 years old came to participate in the investment conference, which seemed very abrupt.
"Wang Gongzi, my name is Xu Wenjie, a native of Zhaotong, Yunnan." The young man introduced himself.
Wang Mo looked at Xu Wenjie in surprise and asked, "You are a graduate of the Higher Industrial Academy this year or a few years ago, right?" Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong room, the teacher was on Mr. Tang's side. ”
When Wang Mo said this, Xu Wenjie looked a little nervous, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "I am indeed a student who just graduated from the academy this year, but I didn't go to the wrong room, and I don't want to apply for a teacher." ”
Wang Mo smiled with interest: "Don't want to apply for a teacher? Could it be that you plan to run a factory too? ”
Ask back, Wang Mo doesn't have the slightest intention of letting Xu Wenjie run the factory, a hairy young man like Xu Wenjie who has no experience in running an industry, even if he has machinery and equipment, whether he can successfully run the factory is a question.
Xu Wenjie shook his head and said, "I don't want to run a factory. That's right, Prince Wang. I discussed with a few classmates and wanted to go to Sichuan to run a newspaper, hoping to get your support, especially financial support. ”
Running a newspaper?
This is to be planned carefully, Wang Mo thought thoughtfully
