Chapter 333: Do three heavy industries want to cooperate?
Chaoyang District, No. 7 Jiannei Street, 15th floor, Guanghua Changan Building, 1509.
"Welcome to Mr. Qin." Jin Nanji came up to greet him: "I am the person in charge of Sanhang Heavy Industry's office in China. Jin Nanji, welcome to Mr. Qin."
Qin Tao looked around.
This office area is about more than 200 square meters, with cubicles outside and various small rooms inside, including offices and conference rooms.
Everything is very new, you can even smell the paint in the air.
"Your office has just been established, right?" Qin Tao said to the other party, "Is it just to receive me?"
This sentence was so unfriendly that Qin Tao even skipped a handshake.
Jin Nanji smiled: "Of course not, Mr. Qin, you seem to be very wary of us. Yes, we are all shipbuilders. According to your Dongfang saying, fellow travelers are enemies, but we also believe that as long as we can find We can learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and we can still work together.”
"Cooperation? Can we have any cooperation?" Qin Tao said: "And, do you trust our Mingzhou Group? According to some people in your country, I am the culprit for the bankruptcy of Dazhou Company. You want to Make me responsible. Especially, during the departure ceremony of our Kiev aircraft carrier park, you people from the Kimchi Country embarrassed me on the spot."
Qin Tao said it so straightforwardly that even Xu Zhengyang, who was the translator, felt a little curious. After receiving the call, they came over immediately. He thought that Mr. Qin was interested in the plate rolling machine. Unexpectedly, Qin Are you here to make use of the topic?
Collaboration is impossible. How can you just come here to express your anger?
However, every wrongdoer has his own debtor. For now, there is no enmity between them and Three Industries Heavy Industries, right?
Jin Nanji was no longer angry. He smiled: "Mr. Qin, you are indeed quick to talk. Yes, we have this view in our country, but it is mainly expressed by the executives of Dazhou Company. What do you think? , although our government came forward to coordinate us to take over the mess of Dazhou Company, the most we can do is to prevent those workers from losing their jobs, but those executives will definitely not be hired. Therefore, they cannot get high wages, and in their hearts Of course there will be resentment.”
Jin Nanji explained very clearly: "For us, Sanhang Heavy Industry, we are grateful to you. After all, Dazhou Company is gone, and we have lost a competitor."
"Competitors? Aren't you guys working together to keep warm?" Qin Tao asked back: "Besides, if you say this, you still want to put the blame for the collapse of Dazhou Company on the head of our Mingzhou Group."
"Of course not, I'm sorry, I just used the wrong word." Jin Nanji continued: "In addition to civilian ships, we also build warships. The person in charge of Dazhou Group came from the army and has many connections in the army, so he can often accept We have received large military orders, but now that Dazhou Company is gone, only we and Hyundai Heavy Industries are left to divide these orders, and of course we are the ones who benefit."
Qin Tao nodded: "So, what's the matter with you coming to us?"
"Mr. Qin, the collapse of Dazhou Company should not be blamed on you. We believe that Volkswagen's biggest problem is its workers. Their workers often complain about low wages and often go on strike, which seriously delays their production. ." Kim Nam-gil said: "Such things will also happen in our Hyundai Heavy Industries. We have to endure a large amount of money invested in the treatment of workers, which has brought a serious drag on the development of the company."
Qin Tao has realized that there is something in what the other party said.
As long as it’s not a trap for yourself, you can listen to it.
At this time, Jin Nanji observed his words and saw the softening of Qin Tao's expression, so he continued: "Next, please come to our conference room and let's talk in detail together, how about that?"
In the conference room, Jin Nanji continued to introduce.
"Now, we realize that China is full of vitality. Your currency has devalued externally, which has attracted a lot of investment. You also have cheap labor here. We have seen many companies planning to relocate their factories to your land. So, we also have this plan, and according to your current legal regulations, wholly foreign-owned enterprises are not allowed, so we must find a partner."
Jin Nanji paused, his eyes full of expectation, and looked at Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, our three heavy industries are interested in cooperating with you to create a new shipyard. I wonder what your ideas are?"
Establish a joint venture to build a factory!
If a country wants to develop, it must introduce foreign capital and technology. In many industrial fields, joint venture factories have long been established.
For example, in the automobile industry, Capital Automobile Factory introduced Jeep technology, Huating Automobile Factory produced Santana, and now it is also expanding to the shipbuilding field!
At present, China's labor costs are very low, and there is no such strong existence of labor unions. The treatment of workers depends entirely on the attitude of factory leaders. It is simply a paradise for foreign capitalists!
Three Banks Heavy Industry is interested in it and wants to find a partner to form a joint venture and make money together. This motive makes sense.
“Why did you choose us?”
There are many shipyards in China, and some are old ones. Why did you choose the emerging Mingzhou Group?
"Because you are the most developed among them." Jin Nanji said: "You have emerged in the late 1980s. In just a few years, you have developed into the largest shipyard in China. You also have many advanced technologies and have created one ship after another. A new type of ship, we are very optimistic about your development potential, so we look forward to cooperating with you. Since we want to invest in building a factory, of course we need to find the strongest partner."
Qin Tao smiled: "So, have you considered our ideas?"
Jin Nanji shook his head. He really hadn't thought about this.
"In the field of civilian ships, we can build natural gas carriers, bulk carriers, floating docks, large transport ships and other highly technical vessels. The current orders have been scheduled for three years. In military ships, we not only We only built warships for our own navy, and also built aircraft carriers for export." Qin Tao's words were still very rude: "Now, our shipyard needs funds, technology, and orders. If If we can’t produce enough, we can build a new shipyard by ourselves, or acquire a bankrupt shipyard, so why do we need a joint venture with you?”
Qin Tao's tone was very unfriendly, and he was still hostile to the South Kimchi Country, and he was also confident.
Why should I do it with you when I can do it myself?
Jin Nanji was stunned for a moment.
Of course he knew that Qin Tao had opinions and hostility towards their Southern Kimchi Country, but he was confident that these projects would definitely satisfy the other party.
So, he responded to Qin Tao's words with restraint and full confidence.
But now, he suddenly realized that he had overlooked something.
Many foreign-funded enterprises enter China and look for partners, and the other parties readily accept it and come forward with their tails wagging. After all, as long as they engage in joint ventures, these enterprises will develop rapidly, and the products they produce will bear foreign logos and become taller and taller. superior. What about customers? Also like to buy.
In one sentence, it means admiring foreign things. The country is backward and foreign things are good.
However, there are a few people who don't think so, and the person in front of me is naturally one of them.
They are creating China's advanced products, and they are climbing to the top of related industries. The purpose of their existence is to defeat foreign competitors and become world-class powerhouses. How can such competitors lower their profile and engage in cooperation?
It seems that this conversation is fruitless.
“However, seeing as how sincere you are, if you persist, there is a possibility of cooperation.”
Hearing this, Jin Nanji's eyes lit up again: "Is there still a chance?"
"Yes, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
“Please ask Mr. Qin to speak.”
“First of all, we must hold more than 50% of the shares in this joint venture shipyard, and we will designate the leaders at all levels of the shipyard.”
This first condition made Jin Nanji frown.
They entered into a joint venture, of course, in order to have another shipyard to increase profits. Of course, they have the final say. Now, Qin Tao requires a shareholding ratio of more than 50%, and also has the power to appoint personnel, so they still want What is this shipyard for?
“Also, if we want to form a joint venture, we can’t just have a shipyard. We also hope to cooperate with Sanhang Electronics, which is under the same group as you, to establish a specialized electronics company.”
Different from Dazhou Company, Sanxing Heavy Industry is not independent, it is a large group. Among them, Sanxing Electronics is absolutely famous. Before the explosion of mobile phones, Sanxing Electronics was definitely the leader in related fields.
Now, since we want to join a joint venture, we have to add three rows of electrons!
In fact, in 1992, Sanxing had already set up a joint venture factory in Haihe. However, the products produced there were video recorders, and it had nothing to do with Qin Tao.
If he could have an electronics company under his own umbrella, he would definitely be able to earn high profits. However, what does this have to do with shipbuilding?
Jin Nanji hesitated and said, "Mr. Qin, isn't your group a shipbuilder?"
"Yes, we are shipbuilding, but we also hope to include all shipbuilding-related industries. With the development of technology, there are more and more advanced electronic equipment on ships. We hope to produce it independently to avoid being involved in related industries. Suppliers lag behind. In the past few years, our brother's unit almost missed the delivery time because of the radio debugging, and the supplier did not come, and we had to bear high compensation."
What Qin Tao said makes sense, what do we need electronics companies for? Of course it is to provide matching equipment for the ship!
“So, are you planning to assemble electronic products?”
“It’s not assembly, it’s production.” Qin Tao said: “We need to build a wafer factory to produce chips domestically.”
“Build a chip factory? Aren’t you a shipbuilder?”
"Who said shipbuilders can't make chips? Our Capital Steel Company started making chips two years ago." Qin Tao said: "Although we are called Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, we first have a steel plant and a transportation company. , and recently established an air transportation company, why can’t we make chips?”
Shougang, the most powerful steel company in China, has begun to loudly announce: "Shougang will not be named steel in the future." In 1991, they introduced the chip production line of Japan's NEC, and in 1995 they had sales of 900 million. It seems that the situation is still very good.
However, in the 1990s, the gap between domestic chips and foreign chips was gradually widening, even wider than in the 1980s. There was nothing we could do about it, because the chip industry was upgrading too quickly and needed to keep burning money. Kimchi China's chip industry can develop because of the strong support of the country.
When the market was in recession, the state began to provide high subsidies and continuous blood transfusions to keep Sanxing Electronics afloat. After a few years, when their competitors couldn't survive and collapsed, they could make a profit and then invest huge amounts of money to continue Engage in research and development.
The electronics industry is cyclical, and updates are very fast. Even if you make money, if you don’t invest in research and development, you will soon fall behind and be eliminated.
Without the national blood transfusion, Sanxing Electronics would have died countless times.
Although Qin Tao is a shipbuilder, he also has to build warships. Warships require a lot of electronic technology, so it is still necessary to introduce it. Moreover, he is not afraid of burning money. As long as he does it, he will continue to invest in it. Whether it is funds or talents, they must be developed until the chip industry is completely mature.
There are warships and civilian projects. Even if it is not profitable, he will still do it for the sake of the country.
Well, it's still too early to talk about this now. He said it just to raise the bargaining chip and see how the other party responds.
Jin Nanji looked embarrassed. This project is too difficult!
"Mr. Qin, your conditions...are really embarrassing for us. In this case, do you want to go to the headquarters of our Sanhang Group another day and talk to the head of our group in person?" Jin Nanji continued to negotiate with Qin Tao: "By the way, we We have received a large amount of shipbuilding equipment from Dazhou Company, some of which are no longer needed. You can purchase them at a low price, which can also show our sincerity in cooperation."
“Really? What equipment do they have?” Qin Tao asked curiously.
“It seems that there is a plate bending machine for making submarines, so we don’t need it.” Jin Nanji said.
"Okay, I understand. However, I have been very busy recently and have no time to go there. If you are sincere, then please invite your president to come to our place. No matter where I am, I will rush back to Mingzhou to receive you. Your president." Qin Tao said, standing up: "Okay, that's the end of today's meeting!"
A hint of anger flashed across Jin Nanji's face, but after a while, he put a smile on his face again: "Okay, I will convey your invitation."
The other party was very polite and walked to the elevator entrance. After the two of them took the elevator down, Xu Zhengyang said: "Just now, I felt a murderous aura."
"Of course. If looks could kill, I would have died hundreds of times." Qin Tao is very self-aware.
Although their Mingzhou Group has also developed and grown, at most it is equal to Sanhang Heavy Industry. The entire Sanhang Group, which is a national behemoth in Kimchi Country, invites the president of the other party to come over. To them, it is simply It's just an insult.
Of course, Qin Tao also felt the anger in the other party's eyes, but the other party was very restrained and did not explode on the spot.
“However, the other party has been putting up with it. Do you know why?”
"Are these actions you just took as a test? Are you testing the sincerity of the other party?" Xu Zhengyang was so smart that he immediately understood Qin Tao's intention.
Although he came to the door on his own initiative, Qin Tao did not have the consciousness of being a guest. He was always aggressive and took all the initiative. Ordinarily, this is not in line with Qin Tao's style. He is the kind of person who smiles on the surface but behind his back. He was the one who stabbed Dazhou Company in such a way.
How come you are so sharp now?
Now, Xu Zhengyang has realized that Qin Tao did this just to see how sincere the other party is, whether he really intends to do business, or whether he intends to trick Qin Tao into going to Kimchi Country.
So, what’s the conclusion?
“It seems that these people are really unkind, especially when they mentioned the plate rolling machine at the end, which shows that they are most likely to trick you into going there.”
Qin Tao smiled: "They are really brave enough and are not afraid of introducing serious diplomatic conflicts. But..."
"No!" At this moment, Xu Zhengyang's expression suddenly changed. Then, in the small elevator, he rushed out with a strong stride, kicked his left foot on the side wall of the elevator, and then kicked the ninety-year-old girl with his right foot. On the other side of the angle, two times later, he had jumped to the top of the elevator, and then slammed the most vulnerable exhaust fan on the ceiling.
Qin Tao also discovered something was wrong.
On the side of the elevator, the floor numbers displayed on the seven-segment luminous digital tube are normal. We have only reached the eighth floor now. However, the feeling in the elevator is different. Only by carefully experiencing it can you feel that the elevator is accelerating.
The elevator has been running downward normally. It can only decelerate downward, and it is absolutely impossible to accelerate!
Qin Tao also judged the problem. At this time, Xu Zhengyang's body had already jumped to the ceiling of the elevator. Looking at the traction wire rope with sparks on it, he felt extremely anxious. He reached down and shouted loudly: "Qin Boss, come up quickly!”
Qin Tao stretched out his hands, and then Xu Zhengyang pulled him up. This bodyguard is really strong!
Inside was the elevator shaft. It was dark, but you could feel the wind howling. Xu Zhengyang quickly turned on the small flashlight, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Qin, do you dare to jump?"
In the building, there were three rows of elevators running parallel to each other. The one they took was the middle elevator, and there were others on both sides. One of them was approaching.
"dare!"
Xu Zhengyang glanced at Qin Tao with satisfaction. People who do big things will stay calm no matter what dangerous situations they encounter. Mr. Qin, an arms dealer, has a very good psychological quality.
“One, two, jump!”
Qin Tao closed his eyes and jumped out.
After all, this was the first time for him to do such a thrilling thing. He also knew that he could not hesitate now. The elevator was accelerating and falling. He had no time to think about it. He had to trust Xu Zhengyang completely and unconditionally.
咣! He landed just in time on the top of the elevator next to him, and felt a huge impact on his feet. At this moment, he felt as if his legs would break at any time.
There was a feeling on his back, and Xu Zhengyang had already pulled him.
Qin Tao opened his eyes.
Xu Zhengyang had already begun to kick at the ventilation window of the car.
Boom, boom, boom!
Three times, the ventilation window fell down. Accompanied by frightened high-decibel shouts in the elevator car, Xu Zhengyang jumped down and looked at the only woman inside. At this time, this woman had lipstick in one hand and a small mirror in the other. , is applying make-up.
Xu Zhengyang shouted to the top: "Mr. Qin, it's safe for now, come down!"
Qin Tao also jumped down.
“Miss, please don’t worry, we are not bad people.”
Boom! At this moment, a huge roar sounded, and the entire car shook. It was obvious that the elevator they had just taken had fallen to the bottom.
As the elevator shook, the female body inside was also shaking. She screamed and her body tilted towards Qin Tao.
Subconsciously, Qin Tao wanted to reach out to help him, but when he saw the lipstick in the other person's hand, he suddenly thought and moved away.
Biu!
Following the sound, a cloud of green smoke suddenly appeared from the end of the lipstick, and a warhead flew out from the inside and flew towards Qin Tao.
Qin Tao could only feel the burning on his ears. If he hadn't been clever enough just now, his head would have been blown off by the other party.
At almost the same time, Xu Zhengyang flew up and kicked the woman on the arm.
Snapped! The lipstick fell to the ground.
Poof! A stream of blood flew out of the woman's mouth, flying with her teeth. Xu Zhengyang's series of kicks had already hit the woman's face, defeating the enemy with one move!
