Chapter 491: Preparation
Song Yuanchao and Ying Annie's conversation was very smooth, Song Yuanchao did not hide the slightest about the joint venture, and directly told her about his ideas and the pros and cons of the joint venture, etc., originally Song Yuanchao thought that Ying Annie would think about this matter for some time, but he didn't expect that after listening to Song Yuanchao's story, Ying Annie agreed without hesitation.
"Don't you think about it more?" Song Yuanchao asked.
"I came back this time to do careful consideration, and I have also learned about the domestic situation, Brother Song, the proposal of the joint venture is also the best way for me to intervene in the domestic market, isn't it?" Ying Annie looked back at Song Yuanchao and asked with a smile.
Song Yuanchao smiled dumbly, nodded and said: "Since you have thought it through, then there is no problem, and the next specific joint venture does not mean that the joint venture can be a joint venture, and you need to cooperate here." ”
"You say, you need that cooperation."
Song Yuanchao immediately explained to Ying Anne some of the requirements for the application of foreign joint ventures in China, and also mentioned that in order to increase the possibility of joint ventures, it is best for Ying Anne to provide some more information about Ying Anne's enterprises in the United States, and so on.
In addition, in the process of joint venture, it is also necessary to dock, negotiate, discuss details, etc., which need to be prepared in advance.
Ying Annie listened carefully, took a pen and paper and carefully recorded what Song Yuanchao said, and at the same time asked a few questions, and Song Yuanchao answered them one by one.
After finishing speaking, Ying Annie thought for a while and said: "Nothing else, but the team is a little troublesome, you also know that my company has just been registered, the specific business has not yet been carried out, and there is no one in hand." So...... Brother Song, can you ask your Shenghua company to send a few professional people to assist me? ”
"Aren't you going to use the people of your family business?" Song Yuanchao asked.
Ying Annie shook her head: "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with the family business, and I don't want my brother to interfere in my affairs." ”
Song Yuanchao somewhat understood what Ying Annie meant, and thought for a while: "Since this is the case, I can help, Caixia is in Xiangjiang, let her and Xu Hui of Xiangjiang Shenghua help you organize a team, even if I lend it to you." I have a suggestion ...... though. ”
"Brother Song, you say."
"My advice is that in this team you should not only be directly involved, but also find a reliable person to intervene with, and this must not only understand business operations, but also be a Westerner."
"Westerners? Why? Ying Annie was stunned, Song Yuanchao let herself be in the team, which is normal, because this is her own business, and Ying Annie originally planned to directly command the team, and the people on Sheng Hua's side only assisted.
But now Song Yuanchao mentioned asking Ying Annie to find a reliable and professional Westerner to join the team, which made Ying Annie not understand his intentions.
"The reason is simple, to put it mildly, that's the problem here." Song Yuanchao raised his hand with a serious expression and pointed to his head, and said seriously: "It is difficult to change people's thoughts, you are Chinese, with the same face as us, saying the same thing, such an image is easy to be ignored by the other party in front of some people, which will affect our next negotiations and cooperation." ”
"But Westerners are different, they are not yellow, their faces are different, and they don't speak our language, so they can make those people look like a high-ranking image of foreign capital at a glance, I don't know if you understand what I'm talking about?"
Song Yuanchao's words were very euphemistic, Ying Annie was a very smart woman, and she suddenly realized.
"I see, you mean ...... foreigners."
Before Anne could say the last two words, Song Yuanchao raised his hand to stop her: "Yes, you just need to understand this reason in your heart, you don't need to say it." Although some words are not good, and it is also a little difficult to bear the emotional aspect, but this is the reality, and in order to achieve our goals, the necessary arrangements and means still have to be done. ”
Ying Anne pondered for a moment and nodded silently, as Song Yuanchao said, this is indeed a bad habit, but it is a problem that cannot be bypassed, since it is foreign capital, it is more appropriate for Westerners to come forward than to come forward directly, Ying Anne is not an old antique who eats the old, intellectually I understand that Song Yuanchao's reminder is correct, but it is indeed a little unacceptable emotionally.
"I understand, I will find a suitable Westerner to stand in the front desk as soon as possible, the other party will be the president of Starlight in the Asia-Pacific region, and be fully responsible for the specific joint venture work of this time, as for me, I can be this person's assistant...... Translation...... Or a secretary? ”
Speaking of this, Ying Annie burst out laughing, and this laughter swept away the somewhat solemn atmosphere just now, making Song Yuanchao happy.
The rough framework was negotiated, and Ying Anne began her preparations.
Early the next morning, she hurriedly left Jinling and went to Xiangjiang, and Song Yuanchao on the other side of Xiangjiang specially called Qin Zhengguo and Xu Hui in advance, informed them of this matter, and arranged for them to assist in dealing with it.
After Anne left, Song Yuanchao began to be busy with the joint venture in the past few days, first wrote the report to Lin Daoyuan, and told Lin Daoyuan about his arrangements.
After reading the report, Lin Daoyuan didn't say anything, just asked Song Yuanchao to go back and wait for news, the joint venture is not a trivial matter, it can only be decided after discussion, and when the opinions come out, someone will notify Song Yuanchao here, and then just follow the procedure, and Lin Daoyuan is inconvenient to intervene directly.
Putting aside the joint venture for the time being, Song Yuanchao turned around and continued to pay attention to the preparations for the launch of new products.
On the sales company's side, except for a small number of people and distribution personnel who stayed in the unit, most of them went out to run the markets around the country to negotiate with the connection and products before they went on the market.
Yanjing was originally Song Yuanchao planned to go in person, but Lin Yuhang told Song Yuanchao that Yanjing he had already done it, and now Lin Yuhang is completely different from when he just changed jobs, after the merger of the eighth factory and the third factory, the ginseng royal jelly products produced by the new company not only continue to sell well, but also launch new products, such as throat lozenges and a series of products, have also received good feedback from the market.
Now Lin Yuhang is a well-known entrepreneur in Yanjing, and the company has completely transformed from the original production of Chinese patent medicine to a health care enterprise, and gradually marched towards the food industry.
At present, their company's products are selling well all over the country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that supply exceeds demand. And as the end of the year approaches, health care products have also entered the peak season, every day there are a lot of merchants to ask for goods, in order to get their company's products even at a high price purchase.
In this case, the buyer and seller market are completely dominated by the latter, not to mention the rest, if the counter of a large state-run shopping mall does not have the ginseng royal jelly and other products produced by Lin Yuhang and his company, then the manager and director of the shopping mall are not qualified.
Therefore, in terms of channels, Lin Yuhang has taken the initiative, and he dare not say that as long as Lin Yuhang says hello in the Beijing-Tianjin area, there is no product that cannot enter the local shopping mall.
It is precisely because of this that the markets in Yanjing and Jinmen, and even the market in Changshan, Lin Yuhang has already arranged for Song Yuanchao, and Song Yuanchao does not need to worry about it at all. You just need to send the people below to connect and prepare for the next entry.
Considering this aspect, coupled with the urgency of the new product launch, Song Yuanchao could only press the urge to go back to Yanjing to see his wife and children, and he just asked for leave to go back not long ago.
I don't know what the reaction will be on the next joint venture Nandu, Song Yuanchao doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble at this time, so he can only hold back the impulse in his heart and let Sun Yaoliang go back to Yanjing for him, bring something to visit Lin Yan and the child, and also connect with the channels in Yanjing and Jinmen.
At the same time that Sun Yaoliang went north, Song Yuanchao also took a train to Huhai.
Yanjing and Huhai are two key cities in the north and south, compared to Yanjing and Huhai are much closer, the train is only one night, due to the importance of the Shanghai market, Song Yuanchao is not worried about others to deal with this matter, in the case that Sun Yaoliang is in charge of the northern market can only run Song Yuanchao himself.
Choosing a Thursday afternoon, Song Yuanchao got on the train, slept on the train for the night, and arrived in Huhai before 6 o'clock in the morning on Friday.
Out of the train station, at a glance, I saw Luo Yang in a tweed coat leaning against the railing not far away and looking at the exit, seeing him like this, Song Yuanchao couldn't help laughing, and walked towards him quickly with his luggage.
"Old Song, you're here, I'll freeze to death if I'm a little late......." Seeing Song Yuanchao, Luo Yang greeted him with a smile, and the two hugged when they got closer, letting go of Song Yuanchao, Luo Yang said to him with a smile.
looked at him, Song Yuanchao was also happy, this kid was wearing a black coat outside, wearing a pair of straight trousers of the same color on the bottom, and inside the coat was a shirt and cashmere's woolen sweater, this set of clothes plus Luo Yang's tall figure looked very stylish, if there was another top hat and a white scarf around his neck, Song Yuanchao even suspected that it was Xu Wenqiang standing in front of him.
"It's not like you kid hasn't been in Huhai, why did you come out dressed like this? The sky in Huhai is not like the sky in Yanjing, and the cold in this winter is not something that ordinary people can bear. ”
"I said Lao Song, the last time I came here was summer, who said no, your days in Huhai have not yet reached the end of the year, it is cold like this, this cold is different from Yanjing, it is just like drilling into the cracks of bones, it is unbearable. Let's go, my car is parked over there, let's get in the car and talk. After staying in Huhai for a while, Luo Yang actually learned a few words of Huhai dialect, although it sounds a little pidgin, the words available are accurate.
Song Yuanchao smiled and walked with him towards the left side of the square, and soon arrived at his car, and when he got in the car and turned on the fire, Luo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Song Yuanchao.
