Chapter 775
In September 1982, an extremely grand and weird group wedding was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.
A total of 2,075 couples participated. All of them were dressed uniformly. The groom was in a dark blue suit, and the bride was wearing a white lace and satin wedding dress. Most of the couples had never even met each other before getting married. Many of them belonged to transnational and arranged marriages and needed translation to communicate with each other.
One of the most incredible couples is a 71-year-old African pastor and a 43-year-old South Korean female acupuncturist.
The commander and planner of the wedding is Wen Zhengming. He is a successful businessman and owns a multinational trading company called Tongil. At its peak, its assets reached 1.2 billion U.S. dollars. From ginseng to guns, the company operates products It covers a person's whole life, birth, old age, sickness, death, eating, drinking, and scavenging, almost all-encompassing.
He also has a more well-known identity: the founder of the famous "Earth Alliance Association", and the 2075 couple who can't even pronounce the other party's name accurately are all his followers.
Many people will leave the United States immediately after this wedding, go to a completely strange country, and live a completely strange life, but they are not afraid, because everything will be arranged by the "Earth Alliance Association", including their Time to have a baby.
This kind of messy behavior seems anti-human and anti-social, but this "successful person" who was born in North Korea, made his fortune in South Korea, lived in a mansion in New York all the year round, and owns more than a dozen super luxury cars will tell the truth with practical actions. You, the reason why he is anti-human is to go to more countries to earn more money and find more believers to provide more "love offerings".
In 1954, Wen Zhengming, who fled from North Korea to South Korea, founded the "Earth Alliance Association". In the 1970s, he took his wife and son to the other side of the ocean. The first pot of gold".
In the 1980s, he had a new destination and a new direction of development—that is, to change the Huaguo automobile industry, which had just turned 10 years old.
In September 1988, Jin Guoyuan, a Korean-American businessman engaged in the import and export of auto parts, registered a car company named "Panda" in Delaware, USA.
A few days after the establishment of the company, Jin Guoyuan came to Huaguo.
At that time, the people of Goose City were eager to develop the manufacturing industry all the time. After all, when the locals opened their eyes, they saw the tall buildings rising from the south, and when they closed their eyes, they thought of the Yangcheng Peugeot assembly line in the west.
Coincidentally, a friend of Li’s in Hong Kong “just happened” to know a senior executive of Panda Motors. He knew that the CEO of this company happened to be visiting Huaguo, so he immediately entrusted his relationship and invited Panda Motors to come to Goose City. have a look.
Soon, Jin Guoyuan went there. He contacted the person in charge of related local industries and believed that Goose City has a bright future. As long as Goose City builds a large automobile covering an area of 81 square kilometers, the annual output can reach 300,000 vehicles. factories, Goose City will be able to catch up with the declining Detroit and become the "Oriental Detroit" of the 21st century.
Jin Guoyuan also specifically mentioned two key points: an investment of 1 billion U.S. dollars, no need for a penny of Goose City investment and local bank loans, and all products will be exported.
These conditions are simply sending money to Goose City. You know, the investment of 1 billion US dollars alone is already the largest foreign investment project in Huaguo, not to mention the annual output of 300,000.
Today, even though Volkswagen Santana's assembly line has been gradually localized, the annual output of cars in the country is still only 30,000.
The negotiation was as smooth as silk. In December, the two parties signed the memorandum impatiently, fearing that the other party would regret it. The next year, in June 1989, Goose City held a foundation laying ceremony. Chairman of Panda Company, Mike Arthur The general's grandson cut the ribbon in person.
But on the day of Maisun's ribbon-cutting, some people felt a little strange and disturbed, because according to the time calculation, the grandson of Mike Arthur in 1989 should be only in his thirties, but the person who came to cut the ribbon was a man in his fifties. of middle-aged people.
Just when more and more people became suspicious, the first investment of 250 million US dollars came from the other side of the ocean as promised.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The construction of the Goose City factory building is very smooth, but the leadership team of Goose City has gradually figured out the meaning: the investment of "Panda Automobile Company" and "1 billion US dollars" is simply to send pillows when you want to sleep. How can there be such a good thing? Son?
Therefore, a senior investigation team consisting of legal experts and automotive engineers was set up, and they made a special trip to Delaware to conduct on-the-spot research on the background, credit, market, and engine production lines of Panda.
Not long after, a "notification" came from afar, bringing a bad news and a good news.
The bad news is that this car company named "Panda" has been registered for a very short time, and it is most likely that it came to China.
The good news is that although Panda Motors has been established for a short time, it has factories and assembly line equipment in the United States, which can produce the small red flag of Yugoslavia. They have tried to ride it, and the grade is not high.
They have already reported to the top management that the latter agreed to introduce new models from Japan's Toyota to Goose City for production.
In the end, the inspection team came to such a conclusion: "Panda's product level was not the highest at that time, but it has strong financial strength, investors have strategic foresight, and it is attractive to the needs of the development of Huaguo's automobile industry."
In order to prevent accidents, Goose City stipulated "two 100%" for Panda Motor Company, 100% self-funded and 100% exported; at the same time, it also established "two nos": no preaching in China, no highway construction .
"Two 100%" can be understood, "two not allowed" seems a bit inexplicable, but there is indeed a reason.
I have to say that the high-level team that went to the United States to investigate was really good at it. They discovered that the "Earth Alliance Association" behind "Panda" - Delaware, the registered place of Panda Motors, has the "Earth Alliance Association" in the United States. The main branch base, and the car dealer Jin Guoyuan is the top executive of the "Earth Alliance Association".
More importantly, they also discovered that the "Earth Alliance Association" has always had the ultimate fantasy of "the unification of the earth", and the first step to realize the fantasy is to build a highway network that runs through the world.
More importantly, their leading brother Wen Zhengming has a lot of contacts in Washington. He is rumored to be close to former US Secretary of State Alexander Haig.
Regardless of whether their "global highway network" is final fantasy or cranky, it has to be pinched at the source.
Faced with many additional conditions, Panda Automobile Company fully agreed, and Goose City also used both carrots and sticks. After completing the conditions, the newly built city hall building was given over to Panda Automobile as its office.
The name of "Oriental Detroit" still came out as expected, Goose City instantly became a hot spot for investment, land prices skyrocketed in a short period of time, and real estate companies entered one after another.
"In the 1980s, we looked at Shenfeng, and in the 90s, we looked at Goose City."
People in Goose City finally don't have to open and close their eyes to see Yangcheng's hot eyes and Shen Zong's jealousy.
But no one would have thought that Panda Auto would renege on its promise so quickly.
Not long after the foundation laying of the Goose City plant, Panda Motors complained to Goose City for some well-known reasons, saying that the car exports in the past two years will probably fail in all likelihood, so it is better to join hands to open up the domestic market and sell 30% The production capacity will be put into domestic sales, and he said that this project has never been included in the planning of the national automobile authority, so whether it can be sold domestically and the proportion of domestic sales should be in the hands of oneself.
But Goose City still adheres to the spirit of the document and the original "two 100%".
Since the foundation laying of Goose City and Panda, they have been caught in rounds of negotiations. However, this future "Oriental Detroit" has been under construction in an orderly manner, and it seems that its completion is just around the corner.
But in fact, the bustle and orderliness are just the outer shell of the factory, and the inside is a completely different scene.
Looking at the information brought back by Han Zhenhe, Nanyi can see that whether it is Jin Guoyuan or Panda Automobile, they have been prepared to come to China to make money from the very beginning. When various projects such as bank loans and private investment were followed up, they turned around and threatened Goose City to compromise.
Panda is gambling. Gambling Goose City does not dare to bear the series of chain reactions brought about by the withdrawal of a huge investment of 1 billion US dollars. If you don’t agree, it means unfinished buildings, house prices plummeting, and all surrounding supporting facilities will be scrapped. Impossible, standing at the level of a national game of chess, it will cause a devastating blow to the development of domestic joint ventures and the national automobile industry.
It is obvious that Panda's project will die prematurely. The reason why Nanyi pays attention to it is that it can be seamlessly connected with the Voragon Group, but the condition of 100% export is fatal to Panda, and to Wola The same is true for Gang.
Nanyi does not want to follow the path of producing models from other car companies. Even if the models are bad, he also wants to take an original path to produce existing models, which is to use other people's production processes and technical indicators. In fact, it is an OEM in disguise. Can't digest much at all.
If it's just for making money, Nanyi would never think about the automotive field at all. A century-old car company, with a century of accumulation, is not as good as a concept, a gimmick, and a Big Mac that has been deeply cultivated in the automotive field. The so-called new energy vehicles are simply ridiculous.
If Voragon wants to get involved in the Panda project, and wait for the project to become yellow, it seems that it can save a little construction time and investment, but it will also put heavy shackles on Voragon. Nanyi originally planned to develop it for five years , five years of promotion, and five years of development, the blockbuster idea will come to nothing after fifteen years.
Taking over Panda, Voragon will be suspended in the air from the very beginning. The purpose of introducing car companies in Goose City is to earn foreign exchange. At the national level, it is for the development of automobile technology and the surrounding economy. To fool around by producing thousands or even hundreds of cars, and make up our minds to lose money first, Nanyi can accept it, but can the country and Goose City accept it?
Rubbing his chin, Nan Yi pondered for a long time, then closed the documents Han Zhenhe brought, and said in a moody way: "Put this matter on hold for now, and wait for the Panda project to come to an impasse before discussing it."
Nan Yi said that, in fact, he basically gave up the idea of intervening in Panda in his heart. If he is determined to enter, many things must be prepared now. The reason why he is hesitant is that he wants to struggle, procrastinate, and give Miracle a little bit performance space.
After posting for a while, Nanyi explained to Han Zhenhe the current ongoing project of Green Nuclear Development. Han Zhenhe's return means that Nanyi can be freed from specific affairs.
Before, Han Zhenhe stayed in Mumbai to keep an eye on the affairs of India. It was not until a few days ago that the India strategy team jointly formed by the Intelligence Policy Committee, the South Office, and the Xiaonan Office [Nan Ruofing] was on track, and Nan Yi called him return.
Nanyi's development foundation in India has been solidified, and the next step is to wait for the opening of the Indian economy, and Nanyi will return to Mumbai to finish what needs to be done.
...
As time entered March, the third social event that Nanyi paid attention to came to fruition, and Lithuania became independent.
On the Haitang trading side, since mid-February, shipments have increased by more than 30%. Nanyi only paid attention to the report, and did not give instructions on specific affairs. He is not on the front line, so he will not learn from the sage Zhuge Wolong.
Han Zhenhe is here, 80% of Nanyi's small workload has been shared, Yiwan International has already set foot on the track, and is moving forward along the correct path. It is impossible to become a fat man in the short term. This year or the next three years In 2019, there were three main tasks: building a strong team, developing new customers, and maintaining old customers.
Foreign trade business is easy to copy. In the foreseeable future, after the elders of Hundred Million International are full-fledged, some people will jump out and start their own companies. With their departure, some customers will naturally be lost. This problem is unsolvable. The core person The number of seats is limited, and Nanyi can't meet everyone's rising expectations.
When someone leaves, someone must come. As long as there is a relative balance between going and coming, the team will not collapse. Therefore, Yiwan International needs a healthy employment mechanism and an effective HR team.
Of course, it's too early to talk about the team. With the current scale of Yiwan International, Nanyi can completely take up the personnel work. It's not too late to consider setting up a personnel post in the middle of the year.
The personnel position is not urgent, but other positions and the re-establishment of the company structure are a bit urgent. Nanyi plans to set up the department structure of Yiwan International according to the template of a large trading company. The general manager of the department in charge of finance and company development strategy, in charge of Import and export business, deputy general manager of administrative and other departments, business department, quality inspection department, cargo department [customs declaration, commodity inspection, booking, storage and transportation], procurement department, overseas business department, and several auxiliary departments, he To build up step by step.
Even if there is only one person in a department, it is necessary to put on airs first, so that the people in the company can get used to the daily cooperation between departments.
A few more recruitment notices were posted in the Triangle Pond. On the day they were posted, people came over for an interview, and there were quite a few people who came, a bit in an endless stream. Nanyi asked Song Jia to be in charge of the reception, Zhao Jinshui was in charge of the initial interview, and he himself Responsible for the final screening process.
For three days in a row, Nanyi read a lot of resumes and met a lot of interviewees. In his spare time, he had to sigh with emotion that there was no difference between posting and non-posting of programmer recruitment notices, and it took half a month to go. After that, he received three letters, and the answer to one of them showed a strong taste of learning and selling. He stopped thinking about recruiting programmers in Yecheng.
Twenty days passed in a flash, and the seven rooms of Yiwan International on the first floor were used, and two rooms on the second floor were moved away. One was Zhao Jinshui's office. He was placed in the position of deputy general manager by Nan Yi. The room was used as the financial office, with Nan Yi as the head of the financial section and the accountant, and Song Jia also served as half of the cashier, and usually some small expenses of the company went directly from her.
The position of Chief Financial Officer is quite a headache for Nanyi. It is hard to find a reliable and strict person. Besides, without at least a year of in-depth understanding, Nanyi dare not hand over his money to others. Hundreds of millions of international There cannot be too many people in the finance department, and there is no condition to build a system of cross-supervision and separation of money and accounts.
Headache, Nanyi is really a headache, this is a super problem, even if Nanguo Bank Coconut City Branch starts operating, it will not be solved. Adding a safety lock will not work.
When March could be sent away with just a shudder, Liu Xin brought someone to Nanyi's office.
Ma Yuyu, the office director of Yecheng Land and Resources Bureau, his official career was not going well, Liu Xindong asked west and west, and learned that there was such a person, after a period of agitation, Ma Yuyu had the idea of going to sea.
Nanyi and Ma Yuyu had a chat, and they were quite satisfied with him, especially his unit, which should not match Nanyi's needs too much.
As a result, Green Core Development has added a new employee, as well as a less formal real estate department. Ma Yuyu and Du Tiangong are both members of this department, and Ma Yuyu is the deputy manager.
With the addition of Ma Yuyu, Nanyi's well-informed level has reached a new level.
Since Qiong Province was established as a province, the number of real estate companies has soared to more than 300, and many companies have considerable strength. Huandao Group, a group company with a background in the capital, has a lot of land in Haidian Island in its pocket. Hong Kong and Macau companies occupy the Hong Kong and Macau Industrial Zone and Seaview Bay. Zhujiang Industrial brought the avant-garde experience from the Yangcheng area to Yecheng.
The Finance and Trade Zone and the Jinpan Development Zone are all very good real estate projects, with very obvious government actions. Many of the good land in Yecheng City have entered the hands of various government companies. The real estate in Yecheng City, A single spark has appeared, and the prairie fire is only waiting for the east wind.
Years ago, Nanyi asked Du Tiangong to learn AutoCAD. At that time, the software functions on the market were not too powerful, and it was relatively easy to use. Du Tiangong learned it very quickly, and gave Nanyi a real estate layout base for Coconut City. The map is very simple, but it is also very useful. Nanyi marked the real estate projects, industrial areas, and transferred land on the map.
The first day of April is also a holiday.
Cheng Hainan appeared.
There are five people and six people in clothes, from head to toe, counting down the whole body in detail, five thousand can't stop it.
Money is a man's guts. Unlike the fierce and introverted Nanyi who met Nanyi last time, Cheng Hainan who came here this time exuded confidence. He didn't need Nanyi to invite him, so he sat down opposite Nanyi on his own.
With a bang, he opened the zipper of his handbag, Duang, and a stack of banknotes landed on Nanyi's desk.
"I, Cheng Hainan, don't want to owe people favors. You found the relationship with Nanhai Development Group for me. Here is 50,000 yuan. Let me repay your favor."
Cheng Hainan speaks forcefully, with arrogance on his forehead, he looks like a home-returning group who ran away in a hurry and would kill his carbine, and he also has the complacency of a rich man.
Nan Yi took his eyes off the computer screen, cast a faint glance at Cheng Hainan, looked down, and counted the banknotes again - 50,000 yuan, mixed with old and new, denomination of 100, without consecutive numbers.
"If you came to me because of this matter, then there is no need. I'm sorry, I'm very busy today and I don't have time to entertain you. Bring your money and don't give it away."
Nan Yi said something flat, lowered his head, and continued to study the map.
Nanyi's dismissive attitude made Cheng Hainan furious, he stood up abruptly, "The surname is Nan, don't forget what I said, Qiongdao is a place that can create miracles, sooner or later, I will Let you kneel down and beg me, and I will help you once when the time comes."
Hearing this, Nanyi raised his head and looked into Cheng Hainan's eyes, "Sooner or later, I will give you a chance to take it back."
"I won't accept it, manly man, he will do what he says." Cheng Hainan said with a stiff neck.
"It's okay, if you don't accept it, you won't accept it. When I come to your door to beg you, I will not only kneel down, but also call you Master Cheng." Nanyi said calmly: "Now, Master Cheng, Please, don't be a bad guest."
"snort!"
Cheng Hainan collected the money on the table, turned and left.
About half an hour later, after reading the map, Nanyi said to Xiaohua: "You can open a file for Cheng Hainan, the year of his death was thirty-one, the cause of death... Forget it, this person is still quite strong in his heart, and it may not be necessary to fall from the clouds." If you can't think about it, it means that your self-esteem is too high, it is pathological, and it has been distorted."
On that day, Nanyi had no ready-made dinner, and Su Meng was not there, so it was obvious where he had gone.
There was no ready-made one, so Nanyi went out to look for food.
Next to the Wanghai Tower, there is a new stall, which makes teppanyaki. Nanyi felt the novelty and took a closer look. The iron plate is cooking some pork offal, such as pork neck, pig intestines, and pig heart. , pork lung, pork liver, and suet are available.
Teppanyaki is still a relatively new cooking method in China. Although going back to history, there are many records of teppanyaki cooking and stone cooking in ancient times, but today’s teppanyaki is passed from Japan, and it has not been popular in the market. Come, it can only be seen in some relatively high-end foreign-related restaurants;
The method is relatively monotonous. There are only sizzling lamb chops and steaks. Even if there are localized improvements, they still cook some more expensive ingredients. The food of the people in Xialiba is still not on the sizzling plate. It is the first time in Nanyi on the street. arrive.
Looking at the oil bubbles on the iron plate and smelling the aroma that got into his nose, although he knew that pork offal was high in cholesterol, Nanyi was still going to try it.
"Boss, how do you sell it?"
"Two yuan a plate."
"Bring me a plate and deliver it to me..."
Nan Yi was trying to get the stall owner to send it to the fan stall next door, when he saw Mounand, whom he had never met in his life but had seen photos in newspapers several times, sitting on the stall, surrounded by several young people Sitting, among them was Pan Wuju.
"Forget it, just eat here."
