Reborn Tycoon Rise

Xu Zhi said: "These are just some speculations on my part. Although there is no interest in borrowing money, it involves foreign exchange after all. In this regard, I hope the government will consider exchange rate fluctuations when borrowing from abroad in the future."

Director Health said: "But the borrowed funds will always be in foreign exchange, and currencies such as the yen, mark, and pound will always fluctuate. Who can know what will happen in the future?"

Xu Zhidao: "Theoretically, because the U.S. dollar is the most widely used and has a very wide coverage around the world, its volatility is much lower than other currencies. Therefore, if the mainland government borrows foreign currency again, it can consider using U.S. dollars for delivery. , so the foreign exchange risk is much smaller.”

Director Wei nodded and said, "Thank you very much for the reminder, Mr. Xu."

Obviously he didn't take it to heart, and Xu Zhi couldn't do anything about it. It's still 1981. Although Japan's exports have begun to hit many industries in the United States, they are still far behind what they were in 1985. In the past ten years, Japan's The yuan against the U.S. dollar has been fluctuating within the range of 250:1. Who can imagine that in a few years, it will rise to 120:1 or even the peak of 70:1.

Although the Japanese yen loan borrowed by the mainland government has no interest, it has suffered heavy losses due to this increase in the exchange rate. However, Xu Zhi has no way to tell this kind of thing now, and no one will believe him if he does. A reminder is enough. , if you listen or not, you won’t be able to control it.

After talking about the main things, Director Wei and Xu Zhi chatted for a few more words, then stood up and left.

"Brother, have the guests left?" Xu Yaxin walked over and asked.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "I just left."

"Then no one will come over later. I feel like you are much busier when you come to the capital than in Xiangjiang." Xu Yaxin said with a smile.

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "There is no way. It involves hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. Some big directions have to be negotiated by me and the mainland executives. In fact, it is only the beginning. I am just discussing the feasibility of the entire project with the government." Let’s get in touch, and we’ll be busy negotiating the specific details later, but this has nothing to do with your brother and me.”

Xu Yaxin said: "I thought the super rich had it easy."

"How is that possible?" Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Although some large negotiations do not require us to discuss the details, the core issues still have to be decided by us. With such a large investment plan, you cannot delegate power to the people below. Many things we Although we do not participate in the negotiations, we still need to know the progress of the entire process. If we encounter some serious conflicts, we have to step in and resolve them at this time.

Being a boss is not as easy as you think. "

"Okay." Xu Yaxin said, "Then should we go climbing the Great Wall together in the afternoon?"

"Of course." Xu Zhi said with a smile: "When you come to the capital, you still have to play."

…

Just as Xu Zhi's family was preparing to visit the Great Wall, in an office building in the capital, many leaders of the First Machinery Department were holding an emergency meeting.

"Everyone already knows the specific information. We have been discussing it for two days, and it's time to come up with an explanation." At the head of the conference table, a man in his 50s said with dignity.

"I think we should first look at the technology. Is it the most advanced in the world? What if we are given backward technology?" said a person at the table.

"It's not that simple. Each of these capitalists is smarter than the other. How can they hand over their core technologies?" Rao Bing, as the only person who had communicated with Xu Zhi, had a strong voice and continued: "The core technical people It's impossible to give it, but we can learn it. As long as their production line comes, they must recruit our people. As long as this way, we will have the opportunity to learn, not to mention whether it is a truck or a car, even if the other party really gives you the information, you Can you assemble the car based on the information?"

Minister Song, who was sitting in a high position, also nodded and said: "Rao Bing said it well. The automobile industry is not just a small toy assembly. In addition to drawings, practical experience in all aspects is also very important. There are many things that cannot be learned step by step. You can't learn the drawings and information.

Moreover, unlike cars, trucks are means of production. Without cars, our country can still develop. But without good-quality trucks, there will be big problems in cargo transportation and more oil will be consumed. These are foreign exchanges, so this time Although the scale of cooperation is not as large as that of cooperation with the public, we must pay equal attention to it. "

In fact, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, the country did not pay much attention to the development of the car industry. The upper-level leaders actually paid more attention to the development of trucks, because cars are "pleasure" products, and trucks are production materials and strategic materials that can create more Much value.

However, after many investigations after the start of the project, it was discovered that the most powerful automobile companies in the world mainly produced cars. In addition, the domestic demand for cars was also increasing, so the central government decided to build a large car factory.

Rao Bing said: "The other party is also willing to gradually implement localized production in the country, but their company will personally participate in it instead of leaving it all to our domestic companies."

Minister Song said: "We will discuss this issue later. The most important thing for us now is to let this project pass and the other party's factory is built on our land. Only then will we have the opportunity to learn from Western production experience and technology and copy it in the future." To Dongfeng and FAW.

By the way, Rao Bing, have the visas issued by the US Embassy to the American employees of the other company been processed? "

Rao Bing said: "It's ready. I personally urged it. The first delegation from the American Mark Company will arrive in Shanghai in five days. I will also go to Shanghai by then."

Minister Song nodded and said: "Okay, we have been negotiating with Volkswagen for too long. It has been almost 3 years, and there is still no results. Now the boss is very worried that Volkswagen will give up the investment plan. Although this time it is also an American company, but other The boss is a Chinese from Hong Kong, which gives us a great advantage. We must finalize the plan as soon as possible, otherwise I will be embarrassed to report my work in front of the big boss."

"I understand that Xu Zhi's previous attitude has shown that he is willing to cooperate. At least we don't have to worry about GM happening again." Rao Bing said with a smile. When GM's chairman visited China, the cooperation talks went very smoothly, but Unexpectedly, it was rejected by GM's board of directors. This also made a group of mainland leaders know for the first time that there is such a thing as a "board of directors."

"But I don't know if he can use his other investment project as a foreign exchange balance. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the project to pass." Someone suddenly said.

Minister Song took a long puff of cigarette and said: "I will discuss this matter with Minister Lin from the Fourth Machinery Department, and then test the Prime Minister's intentions. I also know a little bit about his color TV factory investment. It is very large. , able to export products worth hundreds of millions of dollars every year, I think even if the higher-ups don’t agree, there will still be room for turnover.”

Rao Bing said: "Well, Minister Song, what should we do about the priority procurement issue raised by the other party?"

Minister Song thought for a while and said: "We can't agree to this casually, but we can give a rough promise first. We have to decide the specific situation based on domestic demand. If the other party can really give a preferential price, unified procurement is also a good choice. .”

"Understood, then I will prepare this material immediately." Rao Bing nodded and said.
