The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 242: Want to get nothing? Is this considered cooperation?

Feng Tianjingye's meeting lasted for four or five hours.

After weighing the pros and cons, Fengtian Company finally made up its mind: This time, it must keep up with the pace of the public!

Because Longguo’s automobile market can be said to be the most important automobile market in the world today!
It is a big market that will determine who gets a bigger piece of the pie and who will occupy a dominant position in the future world's automotive field!

Fengtian believes that since the public has chosen the Magic City, then Fengtian will choose the Capital City!

The joint venture matter must be discussed as soon as possible!

The joint venture partner is Longguo Jingcheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

In fact, these giants are of course very eager to build their own automobile manufacturing plants in Longguo.

However, Longguo policy does not allow it.

Because Longguo also has plans to develop its automobile industry.

I can't allow you foreign auto giants to completely occupy my market.

Feng Tianjing also decided to go to Longguo in person to exchange feelings.

By the way, let’s see if we can make one last push. It would be even better if Fengtian can build the factory on its own.

Fengtian is quite wary of dragons.

They don't want their automobile manufacturing technology to fall into the hands of Long.

Because they feel that what happened in the past has sounded a wake-up call for them: exporting technology to the dragon is tantamount to destroying their own jobs!

The people of Jiaoben still believe that it was their failure to control technology exports that helped Longguo develop its home appliance and electronics industries.

At this time, Koizumi Toshisho also called Feng Tianjing.

Feng Tianjing also received a call from Koizumi and said, "I was just about to call you!"

"We are ready to build a factory in Longguo to produce our cars!"

"Yes! The most ideal partner we have chosen is their Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant!"

"You can talk to the person in charge of this factory in the next two days to see how we can cooperate."

"Of course, I will also visit Dragon Country in the next few days."

"I hope they can give us Fengtian better joint venture conditions for my sake."

However, Koizumi Toshisho has a different view on this.

"President, if we compromise so quickly and rush to cooperate, we will probably be in a very passive position."

“I think we are number one in the world!”

"We shouldn't just follow the crowd! We'll be laughed at."

“Also, if we build a factory here, our technology could be stolen.”

"So, please think twice!"

Feng Tianjing also immediately scolded: "What do you know?!"

"As long as we can occupy an absolute dominant position in the joint venture, our technology will not be stolen!"

"Now, our opponent is the public!"

"If we want to continue to be number one in the world, we must seize the Dragon Country market! We must crush the masses!"

"Because I have heard that after Volkswagen builds its factory and successfully starts mass production, Longguo will definitely significantly increase the tariffs on automobiles again."

"By that time, we will be even more passive!"

"Okay, do what I ask and get to work right away! You have no right to make suggestions here!"

Koizumi Toshisuke had no choice but to say, "Hai! President, you are right to criticize me!"

"I was totally wrong."

"I apologize!"

"I will contact Longguo Jingcheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant immediately."

Feng Tianjing's tone finally eased. "Let me ask you, how is Longguo Pangu Technology Company's group purchase of 100 cars going?"

Koizumi Toshisho smiled wryly and recounted the current situation.

Feng Tianjing was also a little angry at once.

"Idiot! What can I say to you?"

"Even if you want to use some tricks, you have to aim at the target, right?"

"Pangu Technology's management is notoriously strict. How could you pay the bribe so quickly?"

"All you have to do is follow this list and keep getting close to the other party!"

"Besides, you shouldn't talk about giving him a benefit in his office! There might be surveillance cameras in the office."

"You turned a good thing into this mess!"

"You have let me down too much!"

"You must accept the punishment!"

"Well! I'll give you a chance to make amends! If you mess up this joint venture again, you'll die!"

Feng Tianjing was not polite at all and directly scolded Koizumi Toshisuke.

The management of the foot basin is so rude.

Their staff are also under great pressure.

Some people may say, since they have been scolded like this, if they have any blood in their veins, shouldn’t they fight back and then change jobs and look for better opportunities?
Changing jobs here is not a good choice.

In order to gain the loyalty of its employees, Jiaoben implements a lifetime membership system.

As long as you are accepted by a company and become a formal employee, you will be tied to this company for life.

Unless there is a special reason, you will have to work for it all your life.

As age increases, salary and benefits also increase year by year.

If you have worked in a company for more than ten years and can already get a very high salary, at this time, if you change jobs, you may not be able to find a better job. Even if you find one, your salary will be calculated from scratch.

Moreover, if the news of you talking back to your boss gets out, it is very likely that other large companies will ban you and will not even consider hiring you.

Therefore, workplace bullying is very serious, and it is common for superiors to punish or even beat their subordinates.

This is also a very sad thing.

After Koizumi Toshisho hung up the phone, he shook his head helplessly.

Murakami Shigemitsu, who was standing by, said, "Koizumi-kun, I don't think you need to worry so much."

"As long as we can negotiate very good joint venture conditions with them and ensure the safety of our technology, I think there will be no problem at all."

Koizumi Toshisho shrugged and said, "I will just follow the president's instructions strictly."

"From now on, I will never dare to make decisions on my own again."

Koizumi Toshisuke took the initiative to call Cao Hanhua, the director of Longguo Jingcheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

Cao Hanhua is worried at the moment.

Because their factory’s performance in the past year was very poor.

Only a few thousand cars are produced each year, and these are all orders given by the state.

The Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant has tens of thousands of workers.

There are still many retirees who need to receive pension payments.

It’s approaching the end of the year, and it’s time to distribute benefits.

All the employees in the factory are looking forward to getting some New Year benefits.

The families of some old employees also hold reimbursement receipts every day in the hope of getting their medical expenses reimbursed.

Cao Hanhua was simply overwhelmed.

It’s not that Cao Hanhua doesn’t want to develop, it’s just that their factory’s performance is average and it can’t attract outstanding talents.

Moreover, they have no state investment support.

This is mainly because the country’s attention has always been on the military industry and other civilian engineering fields.

The automotive industry is not taken seriously.

Cao Hanhua also heard about the joint venture between Shanghai Automobile Manufacturing and Volkswagen.

He was very envious.

Because a joint venture means having money.

The situation can always be better, right?
He also actively applied to the competent authorities to see if he could cooperate with foreign auto giants. But the authorities said that this depends on opportunity.

We still have to wait and see whether Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant can cooperate with foreign capital.

This made Cao Hanhua very helpless.

It was at this time that Koizumi Toshisho called.

When Cao Hanhua heard that the other party was from Toyota, he wanted to discuss a joint venture.

He was overjoyed.

Because Toyota is a more powerful car company than Volkswagen!
Toyota's global sales now surpass Volkswagen.

If it is really possible to cooperate with such a giant, it will be a great thing for Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

Cao Hanhua immediately expressed his welcome to Koizumi Toshisuke to discuss cooperation.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Hanhua called the higher authorities to report the matter.

The superiors also expressed their support for the cooperation between their factory and Toyota.

The next day, Cao Hanhua welcomed the arrival of Koizumi Toshisuke.

He enthusiastically took Koizumi Toshisho on a tour of the factory.

Toshisuke Koizumi was surprised to find that, in fact, the Longguo Jingcheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant had quite a few good new equipment, such as die forging presses.

The equipment seems to be pretty good.

Why can't they make better cars?

After the tour, Cao Hanhua kindly invited Koizumi Toshisho to the reception room for a talk.

In addition to Cao Hanhua, there were other leaders of Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

"Mr. Koizumi, our country has regulations on cooperation in the automobile industry. You should have read the relevant regulations, right?" Cao Hanhua said with a smile.

According to national regulations, cooperation negotiations will become much easier.

Koizumi Toshisho looked serious, nodded and said, "Yes, I have learned about your rules."

"However, we also have our own requirements."

Seeing that Cao Hanhua respected him very much, Koizumi Toshisho felt a little proud again. He thought he could try to control the other party.

Cao Hanhua smiled and nodded, saying, "I wonder what your request is?"

Koizumi Toshisuke said, "We have only one request: the joint venture can be 50-50, but we want full management rights. Your people will not have any say in the joint venture. You just need to participate in the dividends."

Cao Hanhua was stunned. The other party's request was a bit excessive.

Since it is a joint venture, both parties must have the same rights and responsibilities!

However, as long as it can reach 50% profit, it would be good too.

"We only have factories, equipment and skilled workers as shares now. How will you deal with our workers?" Cao Hanhua asked.

Koizumi Toshisho said: "The excellent ones will stay, but we will not be responsible for the old and weak ones, so you need to make sure they are settled by yourselves."

"Also, your equipment is very old. I'm afraid you will need to invest a lot of effort and money to upgrade it. Your factory is also relatively small, so you need to acquire new land for the factory."

"You need to apply to your superiors for all these."

Cao Hanhua was stunned. He thought, could it be that upgrading the equipment is also our responsibility?
We will be responsible for all the equipment, factory buildings and land for building a new factory.

So what does the foot basin do?

Cao Hanhua asked weakly: "How much are you going to invest?"

Koizumi Toshisuke said: "We plan to invest 5000 billion yuan. Of course, this money is an interest-free loan. In the future, when the joint venture factory makes money, we need to repay this money first."

“Of course, we will also provide our advanced car-building technology, and all car-building equipment will be ordered and shipped from the foot basin.”

“This is the most important thing.”

"After all, what you lack is technology!"

"We provide the money and technology, and you provide the factory, equipment, and land. You have to strive for policy support and tax exemptions."

"This is a win-win situation for everyone, isn't it?"

Cao Hanhua always felt that something was not right.

The money paid for the foot basin is a loan that needs to be repaid in the future. I guess they just provided some technology, right?

Well, this is almost like an empty glove.

However, if we cooperate with a car company in Jiaoba, it seems that what we need is only their technology, right?

Cao Hanhua really hopes to get this great opportunity to cooperate with Fengtian.

This is because if the cooperation between Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant and Fengtian is successful, it will be an opportunity for the phoenix to be reborn from the ashes.

Maybe, the Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant can flourish.

"Mr. Koizumi, do you have any other requests?" Cao Hanhua asked.

Koizumi Toshisuke said arrogantly: "After the joint venture is established, if there is any bad public opinion, you will also be responsible for handling it."

"You cannot participate in dividends for 10 years."

"Because the company needs to continue to invest and repay debts."

Cao Hanhua frowned.

This is an unequal cooperation clause.

So you guys take all the benefits.

Then, we have nothing? Not even dividends for 10 years?

This is fucking too much.

Cao Hanhua shook his head and said, "Mr. Koizumi, you are going a bit too far."

"Well! And the fact that your investment is regarded as a loan given by you is even more inappropriate!"

"If your investment is a loan, then should the factory buildings, land, manpower, and intangible assets we provide also be converted into money and counted as part of the joint burden of both parties?"

Koizumi Toshisuke immediately shook his head and said, "No, no! That's definitely not possible."

"Our technology alone is enough to offset all your expenses!"

"Mr. Cao, if you feel that these terms of cooperation are not good and you cannot accept them, then we will look for other partners, such as FAW and GAC."

When Cao Hanhua heard this, he became a little frightened.

Because the current development of Beijing Automobile is not good, it cannot be compared with the two mentioned by Koizumi.

"Mr. Koizumi, I'll call my superiors right away to see what they think. Is that okay with you?"

When Koizumi saw it, he was secretly delighted.

He knew that he had already controlled this Dragon man.

The other party now urgently needs to form a joint venture with Toyota, and only by forming a joint venture with Fengtian can they have a way out.

Therefore, they will definitely agree to all their requests.

Koizumi Toshisho seemed to have seen President Feng Tianjing rewarding him.

If I can handle this matter well, I will definitely be appreciated by the president, and then there will be no problem in getting promoted and getting a raise!

As he thought about this, he felt extremely happy.

"Okay, then go and see how your superiors approve it."

"Mr. Cao, my time is limited. I hope to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Cao Hanhua walked out of the reception room. He wanted to call the Ministry of Machinery Industry to see what their attitude was.

Now Longguo’s automobile industry is under the charge of the Ministry of Machinery Industry.

The current head of the Ministry of Machinery Industry is Wang Mingshan, the former head of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

At this time, Wang Mingshan was receiving Wang Haoran.

As the festival was approaching, Wang Haoran came to visit Wang Mingshan and reminisce about the past. By the way, he also wanted to see what the future development plans of Longguo's automobile industry were.

Wang Haoran naturally already knew that Shanghai was about to establish its first automobile joint venture with Volkswagen.

Each party holds 50 percent of the shares.

It is said to be jointly managed, but in reality everything is completely controlled by the public.

This is definitely not right. Because if you let others take charge of everything, then you want to learn their skills? No way!
