"Oh, what an idea, tell me about it." Chen Zhiwen said that as for the problem of triangular debt, in his previous life, he had also seen in some materials that the root cause originated and the economic development of various places was rapid in the early days of reform, but in about 85 years, because the mainland economy was overheated and the government's fiscal expenditure was too large, the mainland government had to take measures such as shortening the monetary base to limit the overheated development of the economy.

As a result, many enterprises have lost their sources of funds, so everyone instinctively began to default on the payment of suppliers to ensure their company's capital chain, but the problem is that the entire mainland economy, except for a few export industries, most of them are a self-circulation, and even export enterprises in order to ensure the capital chain, will do the same thing, so everyone is caught in the problem of not being able to owe money to customers, and this result naturally leads to the companies to cherish the funds in their hands. Not to mention the supplier.

To ask for debts, has become the primary task of the enterprise, to avoid debts, has become the second task, to exaggerate, many small bosses in the debt and debt dodging these two things, spend more time and energy than serious work, to the Chinese New Year is more serious, after all, the money is not coming, what else to produce? It is estimated that employees can dismantle and sell the equipment in the factory, and if the debt is not paid, it is even more impossible to give money when they encounter suppliers.

As early as last year, the central government has been paying attention to the problem of triangular debt, but it is difficult to solve it, because the name of this debt is called "triangular debt", but it is only a kind of explanation name that can be understood instantly, in fact, the real debt situation may involve more than a dozen or even dozens of different enterprises, will form a circle, and in the circle, there are still many branches linked to other circles, intricate, want to sort out, it is really difficult, plus a large number, to solve the need for a huge amount of money to enter, Because it is very likely that a huge amount of money has been invested, but the triangular debt is not clear, which will cause greater losses to the national finances.

In the original history, the final solution of this matter was personally supervised by a high-level leader of the central government, coupled with a large amount of capital injection and the rapid development of the economy itself in the 90s, and finally it took almost 3 years to solve the problem in stages.

In many cases, as long as the economic development is good, many problems will be solved, and on the contrary, the problems will appear one by one, and therefore, economic development has become one of the most important things in many countries.

"Chen Sheng, do you still remember that a few years ago, you asked Hutchison to invest in a private steel smelting enterprise in Suzhou City?" Zhou Jiayang said.

"Yes, I remember, I once read this report, you are doing well, investing in dozens of companies, and several of them are developing very well." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Hutchison's investment in the mining industry is very large, although most of it is through the commercial investment model, but some of it is personally involved, among them, the main copper and lithium mines, and there is another one, which is Australia's Christmas Creek Iron Mine, although this iron mine is also a joint venture with Rio Tinto, according to the proportion of shares, there are 6% of the ore, and Hutchison has the right to terminal sales.

In the early days, Chen Zhiwen reached an agreement with Baosteel to transport from the western part of Australia to Shanghai almost 8 million tons of ore per year by his own investment in OOCL, and then through the relationship between Baosteel and its own suitable price, it also successfully began to supply several other steel mills, however, there are great interests involved, and for the national level, the procurement of iron ore is also an economic balance means, Christmas Creek iron ore in the state-owned iron and steel enterprises, has eaten a lot of share, It can't go up indefinitely. Of course, if Chen Zhiwen comes forward in person, he can still win more, but this is not necessary, his face and favor are more valuable.

In China, the steel industry and petroleum, mining are controlled industries, much stricter than automobiles, the automotive industry, or allow foreign capital to hold 49% of the shares, and the steel industry, up to 24.9%, and foreign investors even if they invest, can not obtain management rights. In this case, Chen Zhiwen has no way to directly invest in the steel industry, so he can only invest in curves, and he can't intervene in state-owned enterprises, but he can't intervene in the private steel industry.

As early as the mid-80s, Chen Zhiwen wanted to invest in this company, not to say how much return there can be, in fact, this pure steel industry, belongs to the price control of the infrastructure level, in the mainland, is not able to make a lot of money, compared with Haier's civil commodity enterprises, are far behind, but, the profit may not be high, but the scale of production capacity is real, waiting for the scale of shagang is large, the annual output value is hundreds of billions of yuan, and such enterprisesIf you invest in the early stage and can lock in some or even most of the iron ore purchases, it will definitely be a win-win relationship.

It's just that when he Chen Zhiwen went to invest in Haier, it can be said that he was attracted by Zhang Xirui's move of smashing the refrigerator, and some other small-scale enterprises, no matter how high the future achievements are, if he goes in person, it will be very abnormal, and there are many such companies, if they really go one by one, then they have to be busy with him.

Therefore, the easier way is to cast a net to fish, in the designated position or industry, cast a large net, catch a hundred fish, as long as the fish you want in it, the other 99, should be casually invested, anyway, according to the economic development of the mainland, these 99 enterprises, even if a small part can survive to the back, for themselves, the investment is definitely not a loss.

For Shagang, this is such a model, locked Suzhou City, asked Hutchison to invest in local iron and steel enterprises, and then Hutchison investigated all the iron and steel enterprises in Suzhou City and a little scale, after the list was handed in, Chen Zhiwen found Shagang, and directly let Hutchison invest in all the companies on the list, or specially select a few and then bring Shagang, if Shagang is not on the list, then let the following continue to find.

In this way, the matter is completed, Chen Zhiwen does not need to come forward in person, he only needs to give an order to say a word, and then look at the list of information in the report, concise and clear, although it costs more money, it saves a lot of time and energy, for Chen Zhiwen, time is more important than money.

In this way, he can easily participate in many future giant companies, such as the future New Hope Group, Fuyao Glass, Vanke, TCL, etc., which have been invested by him, and similarly, some companies established in the future, unless they are Internet giants such as Alibaba and Tengxun, at the general level, he will not participate in early investment, in this way.

Of course, history has changed too much, and I don't know if Fuji Xun and Ali will appear.

"Shagang in the middle of last year, a large number of steel products sold to customers, but did not get back, the whole company is in trouble, because we are the majority shareholder, they also notified us, later, I arranged for Huang Trade to purchase a large amount of steel materials from Shagang, in advance of the payment, so that it temporarily got rid of the difficulties, but for this reason, Shagang itself in the solution of its own problems, and gave the funds to its suppliers, thus solving the problem of many enterprises near Suzhou City, After the high-level leaders of the Soviet Province and the central government learned about this matter, they sent people to me, hoping that we could increase the amount of purchases or invest in some companies. Zhou Jiayang said.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Shagang is a company that the boss is optimistic about, with his identity, he wouldn't care about this kind of thing, and Hutchison has invested too many enterprises in China, how can he care about a small steel company, and if it dies, it will die.

"You mean, at this time, we're investing heavily in it and getting some shares in some companies?" Chen Zhiwen asked, and he immediately understood what Zhou Jiayang meant, increase the amount of purchases or something, this kind of thing Zhou Jiayang can decide by himself, but if the investment is too large, it still needs Chen Zhiwen's consent.

"It is the shares of high-quality companies, especially those, the products have a certain share in the national market, or the simplest, its company address has land in the core location of the city, these enterprises are suitable for us to invest, in fact, not only us, many domestic governments, are also trying to get rid of these enterprises, but we can't take over these enterprises, because we don't have the energy, but if the shares are given some support by the way, it is a win-win situation." Zhou Jiayang said.

"This can be tried, and it may be more meaningful than investing directly in office buildings." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, although a large-scale investment plan has been set, but the most direct model is infrastructure and real estate, infrastructure, not all projects can be comparable to the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway, and most of them are also subject to government constraints, not you can build it if you have money, as for the port, the number is even less. At present, Mandarin Oriental has built 50 hotels in more than 35 cities in China, accounting for almost half of the five-star hotels in China.

Whether it is infrastructure or real estate itself, it is also helpful to the domestic economy, and even to the current "triangular debt", which may be beneficial, because their payments are very timely, but this kind of help is still indirect, far less than directly finding the heart, and then doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which is the urgent solution to the triangular debt problem.

"The mainland side means that we can take this opportunity to intervene in the domestic manufacturing industry on a large scale, and the advantage for us is that Watsons can fully enter all cities in the country, and there are no longer any restrictions, but try to purchase locally, in addition, the payment to suppliers also needs to be timely, and the same is true for KFC." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Hahaha, what a way, although Watsons has entered the country one step earlier, but so many supermarkets, if the capital flows, it will also be of great help to the domestic economy." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

As early as 5 years ago, the domestic retail market was closed to the outside world, in addition to Shenhai City, other cities, there will be a few will consider the introduction of a few overseas supermarkets, the main purpose is to learn from the reference, in the case of the domestic central government does not let go, even if it is Watsons, it can only play in places outside the deep sea, and later, or Chen Zhiwen personally came forward, in exchange for other interests, so that Watsons got the opportunity to enter Yanjing, Shanghai and other 20 coastal cities that have been opened.

At that time, such a harvest was enough, after all, even if the country opened up to Watsons to enter, Watsons could not enter hundreds of cities at once, the expansion of retail supermarkets, the training of a large number of local talents, the selection of supply chains, the establishment of logistics centers and other issues, even in the early 70s, Costco's development was the same.

Today, at least half of the retail in 20 coastal cities is controlled by Watsons, especially RT-Mart, which is a sweeping trend in various places, gaining a crowd of customers who are several kilometers around. It just so happened that it was time to march inland.

"On the mainland side, it is obvious that we can see what we actually need, and the conditions put forward can be regarded as a win-win situation for everyone." Zhou Jiayang said: "Now in addition to us, Wal-Mart, Carrefour these have also opened stores in Yanjing and Shanghai, from the data I know, their income is also good, it is estimated that they will begin to increase investment in the country later, there are domestic local retail brands, there are many smart people are also imitating our business model, and then build supermarkets in other places, have also been successful, if we delay a few more years and do not let us enter the inland, overseas brands are not afraid, but mainland local brands, It is possible that we will become a strong opponent, especially because there are too many cities in China, at least in the first ten years, we will not be able to directly compete with our competitors. ”

"Well, what you said makes sense, but don't expect us to really monopolize in the mainland like Hong Kong, it's impossible, there are so many local talents, there will always be people who make big in the retail industry, what we can do is to do our own thing." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently.

Non-Internet online shopping, it is unlikely to be able to control all the flow of people, too many places, even if the money is unlimited, it is impossible to build supermarkets in all places, just the talent team can not keep up, therefore, for the mainland market, can do more nature to do how big, but it is impossible to expect too high, anyway, in the Internet era, there will be an opportunity for online shopping.

"Okay, then I'll negotiate with the mainland side like this?" Zhou Jiayang said.

"Well, you can, but if there are other benefits, you also need a little, and it doesn't involve a direct loss of mainland interests, anyway, many markets, if you don't give it to us, it's for others." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Okay, I see." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said. (End of chapter)
