Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Chen Rongchang secretly cursed: Luo Binghui's tone during negotiations is exactly the same as that of Yang Mo. I was so brainwashed by him at the time, and then sold the factory to him at a low price...

Liao Tingxuan nodded, expressing his understanding of Luo Binghui's thoughts, but still insisted: "Steel enterprises cannot be wholly owned or controlled by foreign capital. This is the bottom line of national policy and there is no room for negotiation. Mr. Luo, we also understand your thoughts, Zhiyuan Group We can also authorize the joint venture factory to produce the special steel you need. I can guarantee this and give priority to Zhiyuan's production needs!"

Luo Binghui shook his head and said: "The mainland steel companies are all state-owned enterprises, and the mainland does not have a complete intellectual property protection system. If the higher-level departments use administrative orders to let the joint ventures share new technologies with other steel companies, Zhiyuan Company's patented technology There is a risk of leakage.”

Liao Tingxuan looked embarrassed. What Luo Binghui said was indeed true. Under the national system where the whole country is a game of chess, if one company achieves a technological breakthrough, it means that all companies in the entire system have achieved breakthroughs. However, this is not true for the mainland, which is technologically blocked by the two camps of the East and the West. For enterprises, this is really a helpless move.

Liao Tingxuan defended: "I admit that companies in the same system have had the problem of technology sharing you mentioned in the past. However, as the country opens, we will gradually integrate with international standards in all aspects. Mr. Luo does not know that the mainland The first Trademark Law and Patent Law have been finalized and will be rolled out one after another after review. The patent technology registration system will also be slowly implemented. In less than two years, these problems you are worried about will no longer exist!"

The first negotiation did not make any progress, and even the basic basis for negotiation no longer existed.

Liao Tingxuan has never felt so stressed as now. If reform and opening up can be compared to a battle, then the negotiation with Zhiyuan is like an advance force's battle. Failure to win this mountain will inevitably affect the entire process of attracting investment.

When the superior leaders selected candidates for the negotiation team, they originally recommended He Jianye as the leader of the negotiation team because of the good cooperative relationship between He Jianye and Zhiyuan. Considering that the process of petrochemical equipment autonomy is at a critical time, and during the negotiation process, it is necessary to coordinate within the metallurgical system. It was then that Liao Tingxuan was appointed as the leader of the negotiation team at the steel company.

At the Xin'an County reception dinner that night, Liao Tingxuan made a new suggestion: He hoped that Yang Mo would join the negotiations...

If He Jianye were the leader of this negotiation team, he would never make this seemingly "reasonable" request...

When Yang Mo received Luo Binghui's call, the smile on his face instantly condensed, and his expression suddenly became more panicked than ever before: "Did they really say that? Do you want me to go to Xin'an in person to join the negotiations?"

Luo Binghui didn't notice the difference and said to himself: "Yes! The first negotiation on the steel company made no progress. Director Liao refused to give up an inch of ground and insisted that Zhiyuan should not be controlled. If consensus cannot be reached on this point, the rest of the negotiations will It’s difficult to continue negotiations!”

Yang Mo frowned and continued to ask: "Didn't you make more concessions in other aspects?"

Luo Binghui smiled bitterly and said: "It's more than concessions! We even threatened the Da Chan Bay project in a subtle way, but it had no effect. The other party still insisted on not exceeding 49% of the equity. This is their bottom line."

The moment Yang Mo put down the phone, there was even a slight thought of giving up in his mind. The patents he applied for were the fruits of the hard work of generations of metallurgists in this country. Whether it was licensing or technology sharing, what was the harm?

Without him, Yang Mo, domestic steel companies may have taken many detours. They would also have faced blockades and suppression by Western steel companies and wanton price hikes by iron ore giants. However, the harsh living environment did not crush them in the end. Instead, they relied on their scale advantage. , Winning the right to speak in the metallurgical industry chain...

But he is also familiar with the faces of those Western politicians who talk about free trade. China's manufacturing industry will eventually rise suddenly, not by virtue of its leadership in a certain field, but by the wolf-pack tactic of letting a hundred flowers bloom.

If you are temporarily leading in one or two fields, Western companies will definitely join forces to suppress you. After they sense the threat, they will even use state power to block and suppress you without any bottom line.

This is also the reason why Yang Mo wants to hold a controlling stake. He wants to be an alpha wolf and lead a group of wolves out to sea to grab food.

Obviously, Daqingwan Machinery Factory and Zhiyuan Steel Company are the alpha wolves he wants to build. Only when you have technology, funds, and orders, will the pack of wolves follow you for food.

However, if you lose your controlling rights and decision-making rights, many decisions will inevitably not be implemented according to your own ideas.

After thinking about it, Yang Mo decided to take a gamble and accept Liao Tingxuan's invitation to go back. It would be safer than going back during the severe crackdown in a few years. Now it is only He Jianye and the mysterious relevant departments who know his true identity and open the country at the critical moment. You can't arrest a "patriotic overseas Chinese" who is enthusiastic about returning to China to invest because of an old case that has disappeared in the long history, right? "

He can't always stay in Xiangjiang. He will have to go back sooner or later. Now may be the best time for him to go back!

……………………………………………………………

2 month 21 day.

Yang Mo and Zhiyuan Group’s legal team arrived in Xin’an County.

Liao Tingxuan was more thoughtful and took all the members of the negotiation team with Tang Yongping to greet Yang Mo. After a brief greeting, he proposed to start the second negotiation on the steel plant investment immediately.

This does not give Yang Mo and Luo Binghui time to communicate negotiation strategies.

Yang Mo readily agreed. To be honest, he still felt uneasy because he still had the fugitive hat on his head.

After the two parties sat down in the guest house conference room, Liao Tingxuan changed his negotiation strategy and began to rekindle old friendships: "Mr. Yang, before coming to Xin'an, I made a special trip to the large petrochemical equipment working group, and Lao He told me something about you. I have worked with Lao He for many years in Hannover, and to be honest, I have never seen him praise someone so highly."

Without waiting for Yang Mo to reply, Liao Tingxuan turned to the other staff of the negotiation team and said, "I really don't blame Lao He for his praise. Even an outsider like me is fascinated by it. Breaking the price alliance led by Yoshida Chemical Industry and bringing back the benefits to the Machinery Department With equipment orders worth tens of millions of dollars, when purchasing advanced machine tools and equipment from Japan and Germany, we also conducted a centralized purchase. This alone saved the country millions of dollars in foreign exchange. If I hadn’t known Lao He very well, , I really thought he was bragging, just bullying us for not having been to West Germany..."

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "This Director He is good at everything, but he just likes to talk nonsense and tell the truth..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they all started laughing. The tense atmosphere at the negotiation table suddenly became much more harmonious...
