Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0499: State-owned Overseas Investment Trends
The next day, Nan Yi sent Nan Ruoyin to the airport first.
Nan Ruoyin has already bought the land in Jiudushan, and she has to go back to oversee the construction of her own land. In addition, she also has a business of purchasing mortgages in Xiangkeng, so her schedule is really busy.
"Campus Belle, I'm glad you're back."
I sent Nan Ruoyin off and also picked up the school beauty. She had just flown over after finishing her work in London.
"Hunter and the others are on vacation?"
“Yes, they went to Amsterdam.”
"Well, there is no other entertainment. They are going straight to the source. When their vacation is over, remind me that there is something for them to do."
"clear."
"Also, there is one more thing. Find a modification factory to make a bulletproof car based on the appearance of Toyota Hiace H5 0. Having a car is not too conspicuous. I can also get a car of my own to drive in the mainland."
"Should the interior be modified to match the layout of a commercial vehicle?"
"No, just ensure safety, and give proper consideration to comfort. It's my own car, and I'm using my own account."
"OK."
After talking to the school beauty, Nan Yi took out a copy of "New Sports" and started flipping through it. The Olympics were approaching , and most of the content in the magazine was about the Olympics, including introductions to players in various domestic sports, introductions to foreign sports stars, and so on.
The foreign sports star introduced in this issue is boxing champion Ali, who was the first foreign sports star known and familiar to Chinese people. He visited China once in 1979 as a sports ambassador, and newspapers reported on him extensively.
As a person born in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, even if you have no interest in boxing, you must be familiar with the words "Muhammad Ali". This is because you often hear these four words inadvertently, which is a subtle psychological suggestion.
For example, the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that was just broadcast some time ago was the first martial arts TV series "officially" introduced into China [Blueberry Channel broadcast "Heavenly Silkworm Change" in 1980, but it is unclear whether it was officially introduced].
The reason why I chose this one is that it may be related to the fact that "Wulin" magazine has been serializing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" since its inception, and it was this magazine that gave a lot of people in their prime their martial arts enlightenment.
Nowadays, you can buy a lot of martial arts novels on the street stalls. Yesterday, Nan Yi also bought a copy of Gu Long's "Flying Daggers Again", a traditional Chinese version. The source of the novel is obvious.
After flipping through it for a while, Nan Yi finished reading the content that interested him, put the magazine aside, and picked up a copy of the Economic Reference News to read.
At first glance, Nan Yi saw the content that interested him. An article contained a calculated data, saying that by 1990, the annual sales volume of automobiles in China should be around 900,000.
Judging from the situation of imports, the annual output of the country can reach 2 million vehicles by then. Finally, it also implicitly pointed out that there are phenomena such as blind assembly of complete vehicles, introduction of the same technology by multiple companies, repeated introduction of projects, and lack of cooperation and matching.
In order to facilitate the approval of projects on their own, some places have adopted the method of breaking a large project into small projects.
Regarding cars, Nan Yi vaguely remembered that there was a panda that caused a lot of excitement, and there should be a car company called Panda Car that was very popular in China. He should have seen the news in the two years after the Asian Games.
Panda brand cars are also the first car brand that Nan Yi knows besides Jiefang. Before Panda, he had no concept of car brands at all.
"Daya Bay, Panda Car."
Nan Yi still remembers these six words. Since Daya Bay was mentioned, this Panda Car is most likely a Huizhou project.
"There is no news about Panda Car, and I have never heard of any car brands in Huizhou. This project is likely to fail in the end. It has caused such a stir, so the investment must have been quite high. I don't know at what stage it failed. If it fails at the critical stage, we can consider taking over the mess."
Nan Yi stroked his chin, thought for a while, and quickly let it go.
There is a high probability that Nan will step into the domestic automobile field, but it will not be too hasty. At least within the next five years, it will not consider the actual launch of the plan.
The car quickly returned to the old villa. As soon as Nan Yi got out of the car, he saw Chen Feng's car coming towards him.
"I say, is this car under your butt? Didn't you say that it is not your private car but shared by several people?" Nan Yi said as soon as Chen Feng walked in front of him.
"You know what, from now on, this is my private car. I just informed you this morning." Chen Feng said with a smile on his face.
"Promoted?"
"It's not a promotion, but the nature of my job has changed. From today on, I will be working in the Overseas Investment Department. Supervisor... this word is not appropriate. I should say I will be working with the leadership to manage the company's overseas investments."
"Oh, your trade in Central China is developing very fast. Are you thinking about investing overseas?"
"Nonsense, with a talent like me here, how can the company not develop well? I'm about to fly to the United States again, but this time I'm not going to study, I'm going to buy their Statue of Liberty."
"Come on, just don't spend all your money on tuition."
The pace of domestic outward investment has already begun. Nan Yi has heard from Liu Zhen that the National Policy Trust where she used to work has invested hundreds of millions of US dollars in Hong Kong. Some other government-owned enterprises like Central China Trade have also taken action. The funds used for investment are the so-called Chinese dollars.
Nan Yi is personally not very optimistic about these investment behaviors. Guoce Trust, Hongxin and Xiarun are okay. They all have a long history and evolved from underground transportation stations or money bags during the war years. They are full of capable people who truly understand economics and can run businesses.
As for Lai Biao's identity, he majored in economics and had studied abroad. He understood both theory and practical work experience, but he did not climb to a very high position in Hongxin. You can imagine how many talented people there are in Hongxin.
The overseas investments of these three companies are all targeted and they will definitely not be blind investments.
But what about the others? They all seem to be making profits, but they are able to make profits because of their special identities and control over special channels. They can get some scarce materials that others cannot.
To put it bluntly, if Xian Weiqi is placed in a leadership position in such an enterprise, he can create greater profits because he is not very smart and does not have too many selfish motives.
It's ok for these enterprises to operate in the mainland, but if they invest overseas they will just be paying tuition fees.
"Don't look down on me. After all, I am a top student from Columbia, and I have been in China for so many years. I know China well." Chen Fengzhi said proudly.
"Okay, okay, you are a top student." Nan Yi waved his hand and didn't want to argue with Chen Feng. "Is that why you came here to tell me this?"
"No, I came here to tell you that I have found the first business, and it's a big business." Chen Feng said mysteriously.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Nan Yi invited Chen Feng into the living room, opened a bottle of Coke for him, and made himself a cup of tea.
Chen Feng drank half a bottle in one breath, burped, wiped his mouth and said: "The Italian company Merloni has an Ariston refrigerator production line. I got the news that nine different provinces and cities in China want to introduce this production line at the same time. Merloni's offer is 12 million US dollars.
Jiutiao, if we can get this deal, as long as we can suppress 200,000, we can make 900,000. If we can suppress 1 million, we can make…"
"4.5 million. If we can suppress 5 million, we can make 22.5 million. That's a lot, right?"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this deal?"
As soon as Chen Feng heard the tone of Nan Yi's response, he knew that Nan Yi had something else to say.
"Nonsense, when you say 'at the same time', do you mean all nine production lines should go to discuss together, or do they each go their own way?"
"Each of them is their own. They are all self-raised funds from various places. It's not allocated by the upper level."
"The problem is, even if you are sure you can get the orders for all nine production lines, you have to serve nine masters and listen to nine different voices, each with different demands. Are you sure they will all be satisfied if we treat them equally? Or do you want us to meet their different demands?"
After hearing what Nan Yi said, Chen Feng understood the whole story. Even if the nine production lines were negotiated at the same price, it might not satisfy every party. If the prices were different, it would be even more troublesome and would definitely offend people.
One is high and the other is low. The lower one is happy, but the higher one is jumping up and down.
Why the price is so high and whether there is any trick involved are all up to others to write.
"Okay, forget what I said. I'm telling you something else. It's a small business. The Zhabei Bean Products Factory wants to import a boxed tofu production line from Japan. The Japanese offer is 162 million yen, which is equivalent to about 1.6 million yuan. At most, we can make a profit of 100 or 200,000 yuan, right?"
"You're dreaming. After calculating the travel expenses and other things, it would be great if we can save tens of thousands of yuan. I have some knowledge of tofu production lines. 1.6 million yuan, this price should not be too much.
I tell you, I don’t think the profit is too small, but it’s meaningless to do this kind of order. The amount is too small. Even if we can get this production line back for free, it’s only 1.6 million, which can’t create any influence at all, and the advertising effect is almost zero.”
"Well, I can't use either of the two pieces of information I got with great difficulty. This business is not easy to do." Chen Feng said with a sigh.
"Business is not that easy, take your time. Since you are doing business, you have to lower your status, run around more, ask more questions, and be soft in your status but firm in your methods."
"I know, I have always been very humble. When have you ever seen me put on airs?"
"That's right. At least you didn't try to show off to me like a tough guy in the city."
"Bullshit, I wanted to say that. The first time I said that, my sister scolded me. She told me that it was not a good thing to say."
"It's what he deserves. The "Naughty Leader of the Four-Nine City" is referring to the Eight Banners children who used to walk their dogs, fight cocks, and wander around with a bird cage."
"Are they all bannermen?"
"There were also children of Han officials. There was a Han official named Liu Tongxun, who was appointed as the chief military minister. He had a son named Liu Yong, who was the stubborn leader of the Forty-Nine City."
"Is that so? That's enough. I won't stay here with you any more. I have to go back to work. I'll let you know if there's any more news."
"Don't notify me. If you have any more news, call Ruoyin. This is a business between the two of you."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Chen Feng stood up, waved his hand, and walked towards the door.
"Come back, I have something to ask you."
"What the hell? Can we talk about it tonight? I really want to go back." Chen Feng turned his head and said.
