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

Wang Mingshan shook his head decisively: "How can that be possible?"

"We have the same investment ratio, and we have given you so many preferential policies and even ceded the market to you, but you still want to control everything?"

"My idea is, let's divide the work!"

“Every department’s affairs are discussed together.”

"The main person in charge will be rotated between the two parties, each serving for one month."

Koizumi Toshisho shook his head and said, "Your management is very backward. If your people were to manage the joint venture, I'm afraid it would ruin the company."

"I came up with the idea of ​​making the joint venture better and believed that we should be the leader of the joint venture."

"As long as we distribute dividends and profits to you regularly, isn't that all that's fine?"

Wang Mingshan laughed and said, "You said you have better management skills?"

"Aren't you being a little too conceited?"

"Look at the large number of enterprises in our Beijing area, and their development momentum is so good!"

"We have already destroyed your home appliance industry."

"We have already surpassed you in the electronics industry!"

"How dare you say that your management is more advanced?"

"Mr. Koizumi, you must be more realistic!"

When Koizumi heard this, he felt a little ashamed.

In the past few years, small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those in the home appliance and electronic communications sectors, have indeed been severely suppressed.

So much so that in the past one or two years, the decline in the development of foot basins has been visible to the naked eye!
“But we’re talking about the automotive industry.”

"When it comes to the automotive industry, we at Fengtian are number one in the world."

Koizumi Toshisuke tried hard to appear confident.

He added: "Look at what your Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant is like now. It's basically half dead."

"Mr. Wang, do you dare to say that there is no problem with their management?"

Wang Mingshan smiled and said, "It's not just a management issue. Our previous investment in the automotive sector was quite small."

“This is the main reason why the automobile industry is lagging behind.”

"Actually, we don't have to cooperate with foreign capital."

"I just saw that you were quite proactive and took the initiative to come to me and ask for cooperation, so I decided to give you a chance."

"If you want to control everything in the joint venture, forget it. There is no need to continue discussing cooperation."

In the past, Wang Mingshan and Wang Haoran often talked about how to treat foreign-funded companies.

Wang Haoran has repeatedly emphasized one thing to Wang Mingshan: Don't praise foreign-funded enterprises so highly.

Giving them super-national treatment is pure self-deprecation. No matter how much you give them in benefits, they won't thank you at all. They will just think you have a mental problem.

When foreign companies enter Dragon Country, they are not doing charity.

They are here to make money!

The huge market of Dragon Country is quite attractive to them, after all, there are 10 billion people!
You just need to give them the same treatment as domestic companies and let everyone compete on an equal footing. That's enough.

Also, in order to compete for investment, different regions in our country are competing with each other to offer preferential conditions and concessions. Isn't this just people pitting their own people?
Wang Mingshan remembered Wang Haoran's words very clearly.

Therefore, when he talked to Koizumi Toshisho about establishing a joint venture, he was not particularly polite.

Koizumi Toshisho was a little overwhelmed.

He didn't expect the other party to be so tough. It was obvious that he couldn't gain any advantage at all!

"Mr. Wang, I'm afraid I need to ask our boss for instructions."

"Maybe our boss will come over to talk in person."

Wang Mingshan smiled and said, "It's also possible to come over and talk in person!"

"But no matter who comes to discuss cooperation, the principle we pursue is equality and mutual benefit."

"We can't let you take full control of the joint venture."

"We definitely don't intend to take complete control," Koizumi said respectfully.

"We just want to make sure our own investments and technology are safe and secure."

Wang Mingshan smiled calmly and said, "We have written the protection of foreign investment interests into the Constitution."

"What else are you worried about?"

"Besides, even if it is a joint venture, your automobile production technology is completely controlled by your technicians. What do you have to worry about?"

After Koizumi Toshisuke and Wang Mingshan exchanged contact information, he said goodbye and left.

Only then did Wang Mingshan return to his office.

At this time, Wang Haoran had already had in-depth communication with Cao Hanhua about the cooperation.

The two parties are ready to finalize all the cooperation details and sign a cooperation agreement within three days.

Wang Haoran told Cao Hanhua that he planned to first set up a large research center in the joint venture and recruit at least one thousand technical talents to tackle the three major parts of the car and other major accessories.

At the same time, he also plans to develop a domestically produced automated automobile assembly production line, where standardized welding and installation will be completed by robotic arms, greatly improving the automation and standardization of production.

At the same time, he also needs to cultivate a complete and advanced domestic automobile industry chain, so that domestic automobiles can develop rapidly in a short period of time.

Wang Haoran smiled and said to Cao Hanhua: "The fuel efficiency of Foot Basin cars is well-known. One reason why they are fuel-efficient is that their engines are tuned very well."

"Secondly, they have put a lot of effort into reducing configuration and weight."

"The car is lighter, so it is naturally more fuel-efficient!"

"But we can't reduce configuration and weight. We must use enough materials to ensure the quality of the car and absolute safety."

Cao Hanhua was also deeply shocked when he heard this.

Because Wang Haoran speaks very professionally!

This shows that they have indeed gained a deep understanding of the entire automotive industry.

Therefore, Pangu Technology’s cooperation with its own factory should not be a spur-of-the-moment decision.

They should have been prepared for this.

Maybe, by cooperating with Pangu Technology, it is really possible for Beijing Auto to restore its former glory.

As they were talking, Wang Mingshan came back.

Cao Hanhua observed Wang Mingshan's expression and felt that he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Boss, is that Koizumi Toshisuke? What did he say?"

Wang Mingshan said: "He is very eager to cooperate with us and start producing Fengtian cars in our country."

"However, his demands are a bit too much. He is determined to let Fengtian take full control of the joint venture. How can that be possible?"

“Since it’s a joint venture, and everyone shares the investment equally, and we’ve given them a vast market, they must have a spirit of equal cooperation.”

Cao Hanhua was a little surprised.

According to what Wang Mingshan said, does he still support Fengtian Company to continue its joint venture with Beijing Automobile Company?

This is kind of interesting.

"Oh, leader, do you mean that you are still going to let us continue the joint venture with Fengtian Company?"

Wang Mingshan nodded and said, "That's right, since they want to come in, let them in!"

He turned to look at Wang Haoran and said, "Comrade Haoran, this is what I want to do. Let you compete with Fengtian and see if you can beat them in the competition."

"Look, is this arrangement okay?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, “No problem!”

“We are confident that we can do better than them!”

"Our Pangu company has grown gradually amid fierce market competition."

“Only stronger opponents can inspire all our fighting spirit.”

"Fengtian is a worthy opponent. I hope they are not so weak."

Wang Mingshan nodded and said, "The hope for the development of our automobile industry still lies mainly in you." "Comrade Hanhua, let's finalize the cooperation as soon as possible!"

Cao Hanhua quickly stated: "I have almost reached an agreement with Comrade Haoran just now."

"We will sign a formal cooperation agreement as soon as possible, please rest assured!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I would also like to express my opinion: we will do our best to produce the first domestically produced car with world-leading standards as soon as possible!"

"How can the world's automotive industry be without a place for people from our country?"

……

However, after Koizumi Toshisuke left the Ministry of Machine Building Industry, he went straight to the Jiaoben Consulate.

He needs to report to Feng Tianjing as soon as possible.

When Koizumi Toshisho arrived at the consulate, the foot basin consul Murakami Shigemitsu asked, "Koizumi-kun, did the discussion go well?"

Koizumi Toshisuke shook his head a little frustrated and said, "The Dragon people are not so easy to deal with!"

"They were very tough and they were not willing to give us much concessions."

Koizumi Toshisho explained the situation.

Murakami Shigemitsu said: "It would be difficult to get better joint venture conditions than Volkswagen."

"We can only agree to their demands on the surface, and then try to seize as much control as possible during the cooperation, and use some small favors to buy off their people, so that they will gradually stand on our side."

Koizumi Toshisuke nodded and said, "We can only try this."

"I just don't know what the president will think."

"The president has very high expectations. He hopes that we can build the factory as soon as possible and start mass production before Volkswagen."

"Only in this way can we gain an advantage over the masses."

"Volkswagen is indeed a very formidable opponent," Murakami said.

"We actually just passed them. But they were chasing us very closely."

The main competitor of Footbasin Auto now is actually Volkswagen.

As for American and French cars, they have long been out of control.

Therefore, Jiaoben is now determined to continue to consolidate its leading position.

Koizumi Toshisho also called Feng Tianjing using the consulate's confidential phone.

Feng Tianjing was also anxiously waiting for the result.

He hopes to sign the joint venture agreement as soon as possible.

Of course, if you can be the sole proprietor, that would be the best outcome.

But in Dragon Country, this is unlikely.

Koizumi Toshisho made the call and the person who answered was Feng Tianjingye.

"President, I'm Koizumi..."

Feng Tianjing also said impatiently: "I know, tell me the situation quickly."

Koizumi Toshisho was startled.

He quickly explained the details of the negotiations.

Of course, he emphasized his tough and high-profile performance when he first met Cao Hanhua, the head of Beijing Automobile Company.

Just when he thought he could achieve his goal, Cao Hanhua went to ask his superiors for instructions. When he came back, he said that they would not discuss it for the time being. The superiors meant that the principle of equality and mutual benefit could not be shaken.

Koizumi Toshisuke said, "President, I feel like they seem to be fearless."

"They were not like this in the past. They have actively invited us to invest and build a factory many times before, and they also offered favorable conditions."

"But when we took the initiative to approach them and hoped to cooperate with them, their attitude changed dramatically."

Feng Tianjing was already very angry at this moment.

"Asshole! Don't you know how to read people's expressions?"

"When you took the initiative to come to discuss cooperation, didn't you do any research to understand the situation?"

"Only by understanding their current situation can we find the most appropriate way to negotiate!"

"Look at you now, you have put us in such a passive situation!"

"I don't know what to say!"

"If this cooperation is ruined because of you, you can die!"

Feng Tianjing also roared viciously.

Koizumi Toshisho could only nod and bow, actively admitting his mistake.

What else can he do?

He felt very aggrieved and thought, didn't you teach us that we must exert extreme pressure and strive to maximize our own interests?
However, this is how the foot basin business is, all performance is measured by results.

No matter how hard you try, if you don't succeed in the end, then you are guilty and you are unforgivable.

This is also the main reason why employees in large companies are under tremendous pressure.

They are corporate slaves who have to devote their all to the company.

The overtime phenomenon in Jiaoben is also very strange. Even if there is nothing to do, if everyone is not leaving, then no one will move, but pretend to be very busy to pass the time.

This is to show your efforts.

Later, this phenomenon also frequently occurred in many companies in Longguo.

This is a reflection of capital's desire to maximize value.

"President, I later went to see the person in charge of their department and got a clear answer: they said they could form a joint venture, but the prerequisite is..."

Koizumi Toshisho repeated Wang Mingshan's words.

Feng Tianjing also listened, sighed and said: "The other party is indeed very tough."

"It seems that they really don't want us to dominate the joint venture. If that's the case, our technology could be controlled by them."

“It’s a really tricky thing.”

"Volkswagen is facing almost the same situation now."

"So, if we want to gain some ground in the Dragon Country market and continue to crush Volkswagen, this will really test our wisdom!"

Koizumi Toshisho breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that he would be scolded again.

"President, perhaps you have to do it yourself," said Koizumi Toshisho.

Feng Tianjing also said, "It would be good if I could go and take a look at the situation."

"If you still can't get any concessions, then just make do with the public's terms!"

"We really can't lose the market of Longguo."

“It’s growing so fast.”

“I feel that it is very likely to surpass Jusa and become the world’s number one automobile market in the next few years!”

Koizumi Toshisuke quickly flattered him: "The president is wise, we really need to work hard."

……

It took Wang Haoran four or five days to finally finalize the cooperation agreement with Beijing Automobile Company. This cooperation is basically a reintegration of the existing assets of Beijing Automobile Company.

This includes redesigning automated production lines, integrating related branch factories to specialize in the production of one or two accessories, and then integrating related factories in surrounding districts and counties and even surrounding provinces and cities to form supporting manufacturers.

The original Beijing Automotive Company did not have a dedicated R&D institution, so this integration will add a Beijing Automotive Research Institute.

This research institute is located in Pangu Technology Company.

Pangu Technology will set up this research institute to carry out scientific research.

To this end, Pangu Technology will set up a test workshop specifically for the Automotive Research Institute.

The investment in Beijing Automotive Research Institute alone is as high as 5 million yuan.

Cao Hanhua was shocked when he heard this.

He thought, if we invest so much money in research, will there be money left for production? He always felt that this was nonsense. (End of this chapter)
