Chapter 378: Is China Really Suitable for Investment?
Now that everything has been said and done, Niu Xiaoqiang can't shirk anymore. He nodded: "Okay, I'll try to arrange it for you, the number shouldn't exceed ten." β
Wu Ping couldn't help but cheer: "It's really good!"
Niu Xiaoqiang looked at her cheering appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: The people of Gufeng Township are really blessed, they can actually stand up to such a good female township chief, with such a leader, their life will definitely get better and better.
He thought of this and smiled: "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, Sister Ping, if you want to really lead the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich, you'd better work hard to buy honey from Gufeng Township and sell it, let's go, let's continue to sell!"
Wu Ping waved his fist vigorously: "Yes! It's better to ask for others than for yourself! Let's continue!"
In the next time, Niu Xiaoqiang and others were more motivated than before, and everyone shouted hard, even Wu Ping in costumes.
By the end of today's exhibition, they had two more orders. Although the amount of the order is not very high, it is finally rewarding. The only regret is that the honey in Gufeng Township has still not been sold, which makes Niu Xiaoqiang and Wu Ping feel helpless.
After everyone cleaned up the booth, they went back to rest and prepare for the last day.
In the Oriental Hotel, the most prosperous area of Zhouguang, a small reception is being held. Among the people attending the meeting, there were several people that Niu Xiaoqiang had seen, such as William and Minister Hu, in addition to Chen Qidong.
Niu Xiaoqiang has never seen other people, but judging from the specifications of the reception, the identities of these people are extraordinary.
As the host, Minister Hu naturally had to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and he walked around with a wine glass and greeted these people properly.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Minister Hu talked about the matter: "Mr. William, I wonder if Bayil Group has any plans to invest in our country?"
William replied sincerely: "I did have plans to invest before I came, but what I have seen and heard after I came here tells me that it is not appropriate to invest in China now, and it is better to wait a few more years." β
The two had a negotiation in the afternoon, but they couldn't get along. William was not opposed to the investment, but he demanded more than half of the joint venture. Tightly following such a clause, Minister Hu could not agree.
According to the above requirements, all joint ventures with foreign companies, domestic manufacturers must occupy at least 51% of the shares, because this clause could not be agreed, eventually led William to cancel the investment plan.
Bayil is very optimistic about the future of China's automobile market, but after all, they are in business and need to take into account their own vital interests, so William can only express regret.
Minister Hu knew that William was talking about a pretext, he smiled helplessly, and continued to invite William: "I hope that Mr. William can restart the investment plan in China's automobile industry in the future, although China is very poor now, but it will definitely get better and better in the future, with our large population, we can provide your company with a huge commodity sales area, believe me, your choice will not be wrong." β
William smiled and nodded: "I understand what you mean, in fact, I personally don't insist so much on shares, but the company's board of directors is different from what I think, they always want to take the controlling stake in their own hands, if I make a decision, I think we should already be discussing the specific details of cooperation, the reason why I just said to wait a few more years is mainly to let the board of directors look at China's future development prospects, at that time, it is estimated that they will no longer adhere to the principles, and I will be able to determine the cooperation with you." β
Minister Hu was very appreciative of William's statement: "Your vision is extraordinary, and if you can take charge of Bayil Company in the future, I believe that this company will definitely achieve better results." β
William smiled and said a few words modestly, Minister Hu confessed, picked up the wine glass and came to Chen Qidong's table.
Today's banquet is all at the level of business tycoons. These people have a large number of attachΓ©s, so Minister Hu arranged them separately, and each team sat at their own table.
Chen Qidong's team has the fewest people, except for Chen Yuyang, there are only two secretaries and four bodyguards at his table, and there are only eight people in total, and the huge round table looks a little empty.
Minister Hu took a sip of wine with Chen Qidong, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I don't know how your investigation went?"
Chen Qidong replied with a smile: "I have been around Zhouguang a few times in the past few days, and the situation I have seen is not bad, and I will continue to have an in-depth understanding of the investment environment here, if I can, I don't mind relocating the factory under my name from Europe to Zhouguanglai." β
Chen Qidong has a wide range of industries, including manufacturing and transportation, as well as the energy industry.
In addition to being the head of the Ministry of Machinery, Minister Hu also holds the position of the Ministry of Economy and Trade.
He smiled very happily when he heard this: "If you can really relocate the factory under your name to Zhouguanglai, I dare to guarantee that you will be able to greatly reduce labor costs, and the domestic tax policy is also very good. β
Chen Qidong laughed: "Thank you Minister Hu for your promotion, I will definitely contact you when the time comes." β
The two of them picked up their glasses and touched them, and after each took a sip of wine, Minister Hu got up and left.
Chen Yuyang lowered his voice and said: "Uncle, is it really suitable for investment in China?"
Chen Qidong glared at him and reprimanded: "What China, you should call the motherland understand!"
Chen Yuyang hurriedly corrected his mistake: "Yes, yes, yes, it's the motherland, and the conditions on the motherland's side don't seem to be very good, right? The vast majority of the peasants here used to be farmers who used to farm the land, if we really move the factories here, will they be able to do the production work?"
Chen Qidong gave him a blank look: "I always teach you to take a long-term view, but if you don't seek progress, you are really a dou who can't be helped!"
Chen Yuyang nodded a little embarrassedly: "How can I compare with you, uncle, you can mention me." β
Seeing that Chen Yuyang's attitude was not bad, Chen Qidong did not reprimand him again: "You don't know the situation in China, domestic farmers are very hardworking and simple, and they work very seriously and steadfastly, as long as they carry out simple training, they can be competent for the work in the factory, so the employment problem you are worried about does not exist at all, if you don't believe it, let's see, and then you will know if I am right." β
