Chapter seven hundred and seventy third, big flicker(1/2)
In September 1982, a grand and weird group wedding was held in Madison Square Garden, New York.
A total of 2,075 couples participated, all wearing uniform clothes, groom's dark blue suit, bride's lace and satin white wedding dress. Most of the couples had never even met a few times before getting married. Many of them were cross-border and arranged marriages and needed translation to communicate with each other.
The most incredible couple is a 71-year-old African pastor and a 43-year-old South Korean female acupuncture physician.
The commander and planner of the wedding was named Wen Zhengming. He was a successful businessman and owned a multinational trading company called Tongil. His assets reached 1.2 billion US dollars at the highest. From ginseng to guns, the company's products cover the life of people, including birth, old age, sickness, death, food, drink, defecation, and almost everything.
He also has a better known identity: the founder of the famous "Earth Alliance Association", and 2075 newcomers who cannot even read the other party's name are all his followers.
Many people will leave the United States immediately after this wedding and go to a completely unfamiliar country to live a completely unfamiliar life, but they are not afraid because everything will be arranged by the "Earth Alliance Association", including when they will have children.
This kind of random couple looks a bit anti-human and anti-social, but this "successful person" who was born in North Korea, made his fortune in South Korea, lived in a luxury house in New York for many years, and owned more than a dozen super luxury cars will tell you with practical actions that the reason he is anti-human is to go to more countries to make 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, and in a very short time he developed 50,000 believers and successfully dug out the "first pot of gold".
In the 1980s, he had a new destination and a new development direction - to renovate the Chinese automobile industry, which had just been 10 years old.
In September 1988, Kim Guoyuan, a Korean-American businessman who was engaged in the import and export of automobile parts, registered an automobile company called "Panda" in Delaware, USA.
A few days after the company was established, Jin Guoyuan came to China.
At that time, people in Echeng were eager to develop their manufacturing industry quickly at all times. After all, when the locals opened their eyes, they saw the deep and tall buildings rising up in the south, and when they closed their eyes, they thought of the Yangcheng Peugeot assembly line to the west.
By chance, a friend of Li Youxiang's "just happens to know an executive of Panda Automobile. He knew that the company's CEO happened to be in China, so he immediately asked for a relationship and asked Panda Automobile to come to Edison City for a look.
Soon, Jin Guoyuan went there. He contacted the heads of local related industries and believed that Goose City had a bright future. As long as Goose City built a large automobile factory covering an area of 81 square kilometers and an annual output of 300,000 vehicles, Goose City could take over the already declining Detroit team and become the "Oriental Detroit" in the 21st century.
Jin Guoyuan also specifically mentioned two key points: investing 1 billion US dollars, without the need for a penny from Echeng investment and local banks to export all the goods.
These conditions are simply giving money to Echeng. You should know that the investment amount of US$1 billion is already the largest foreign investment project in China at present, not to mention the annual output of 300,000.
Today, even though Volkswagen Santana's assembly line has gradually become domestically produced, the annual output of cars in the country is still only 30,000.
The negotiations were as smooth as silk. In December, the two sides could not wait to sign a memorandum, fearing that the other party would regret it. The following year, in June 1989, Goose City held a groundbreaking ceremony, and the grandson of Panda Company Chairman and General Mac Arthur, personally cut the ribbon.
But on the day Mai Sun cut the ribbon, some people felt a little strange and uneasy, because according to time, the grandson of Mai Arthur in 1989 should be only in his thirties, but the person who came to cut the ribbon was a middle-aged man in his fifties.
Just as more and more people were suspicious, the first investment of US$250 million was received on the other side of the ocean as promised.
This made everyone feel relieved.
The construction of the Echeng factory was extremely smooth, but the leadership team of Echeng gradually thought about it: this investment of "Panda Automobile Company" and "1 billion US dollars" is simply a pillow that you want to sleep. How can you do that?
So, a senior investigation team covering legal experts and automotive engineers was established, and a special trip to Delaware to conduct field research on Panda's background, credit, market, engine production lines, etc.
Not long after, a "Notice" came from afar, bringing bad news and good news.
The bad news is that the registration time of this car company called "Panda" is very short, and it is probably coming from China.
The good news is that although Panda Automobile has been established for a short time, it has factories and assembly line equipment in the United States to produce Yugoslavia's small red flag. They have tried it and the grade is not high.
They have reported to senior management that the latter agreed to introduce new models from Japan's Toyota to production in Goose City.
Finally, the inspection team came to the conclusion: "Panda Company's product level was not the highest at that time, but it had strong financial strength and investors had strategic vision. It was attractive for the needs of the development of the Chinese automobile industry."
In order to prevent accidents, Echeng has stipulated "two 100%" for Panda Automobile Company, 100% of its own investment and 100% of its exports; at the same time, it has also established "two prohibitions": no missionary in China and no expressways are allowed.
"Two 100%" can be understood, but "two 100%" seems a bit inexplicable, but there is indeed a reason for this.
It has to be said that the senior team who went to the United States to investigate was indeed very good. They discovered that the "Earth Alliance Association" behind Panda Automobile Company - Delaware, the registered place of Panda Automobile Company, has the main branch base of the "Earth Alliance Association" in the United States, and the automaker Jin Guoyuan is the senior management of the "Earth Alliance Association".
More importantly, they also discovered that the "Earth Alliance Association" has always had the ultimate fantasy of "Unified Earth". The first step to realizing the fantasy is to build a global highway network.
More importantly, their leader Wen Zhengming has many connections within Washington. It is said that he has a close relationship with former US Secretary of State Alexander Hegel.
No matter whether their "global expressway network" is a final fantasy or random thoughts, they have to be pinched from the source.
Faced with many additional conditions, Panda Automobile Company fully agreed that Goose City also took a two-pronged approach to carrots and sticks. After completing the conditions, it handed over the newly built city building to Panda Automobile as an office.
The name of "Oriental Detroit" still sounded as scheduled. Goose City suddenly became a hot land for investment, land prices soared in a short period of time, and real estate companies entered one after another.
"I saw Shenzhen in the 1980s and Goose City in the 1990s."
The people of Echeng finally didn't have to open their eyes and close their eyes. They looked at Yangcheng's hot eyes and deep jealousy.
But no one would have thought that Panda Auto would break its promise so quickly.
Not long after the foundation of the Echeng factory was laid, Panda Automobile complained to Echeng for some reasons that everyone knows, saying that it is obvious that automobile exports will be almost ruined in the past two years. It is better to work together to open up the domestic market and put 30% of the production capacity in China. It also stated that this project has never been planned by the national automobile regulatory authorities, so whether it can be sold domestically and the domestic sales ratio should be decided by itself.
But Eicheng still adheres to the spirit of the document and adheres to the original "two 100%".
After the foundation laying of Goose City and Panda, they have been in rounds of negotiations. However, this future "Oriental Detroit" has been built in an orderly manner, as if completion is just around the corner.
But in fact, the heat and orderliness are just the shell of the factory, and the interior is completely different.
Looking at the information brought back by Han Zhenhe, Nan Yi could see that whether it was Jin Guoyuan or Panda Automobile, they were ready to make money from the beginning. They first used big investment to confuse the eyes of the place. When various projects such as surrounding real estate, bank loans, private investments followed up, they turned around and threatened Echeng to compromise.
Panda is to engage in gambling. Gambling Goose City dare not bear a series of chain reactions caused by the withdrawal of a huge investment of US$1 billion. If you don’t agree, it means unfinished buildings, housing prices plummet, and all the surrounding supporting facilities will be invalidated. It is impossible to agree. Standing at the height of a national chess game, it will cause a devastating blow to the domestic joint ventures and the development of the national automobile industry.
Panda's project will die, which is obvious. Nanyi pays attention to it because it can be seamlessly connected with the Wolagang Group, but the 100% export conditions are fatal to Panda, and the same is true for Wolagang.
Nanyi does not want to take the path of producing models from other automakers. Even if the models are bad, he wants to take the original path. To produce existing models is to use other people's production processes and technical indicators, but in fact it is a disguised OEM, and the technology cannot digest much.
If it were just for making money, Nanyi would not have thought about the automobile field at all. A century-old car company and a century-old precipitation are better than a concept, a gimmick, and a giant who has worked hard in the automobile field. The market value of a giant that is hard to compare with the so-called new energy vehicles that are strange. It is simply ridiculous.
If Wolagang wants to intervene in the Panda project, and after the project is over, it seems that it can save some construction time and investment, but it also puts heavy shackles on Wolagang. Nan Yi’s original thinking about R&D for five years, five years of improvement, and five years of development, and the idea of a stunning success in fifteen years will be dashed.
Taking over Panda, Woragang would be put in the air at the beginning. Eicheng introduced automakers to earn foreign exchange, and the national level was to drive automobile technology and drive the development of the surrounding economy. If Woragang focused on R&D, only produced thousands or even hundreds of cars a year and fooled it, and made up his mind to lose money first. Nanyi can accept it. Can the country and Eicheng accept it?
After stroking his chin, Nan Yi pondered for a long time before closing the information brought by Han Zhenhe, and said in a relaxed mood: "This matter is put on hold first, and we will discuss it when Panda project completely enters a deadlock."
Nan Yi said this, but in fact he had basically given up the idea of intervening in Panda. If he wanted to enter, many things would have to be prepared now. The reason why he was hesitant was that he wanted to struggle, drag it down, and give Miracle some space to perform.
After a while, Nan Yi explained the project currently underway to Han Zhenhe. Han Zhenhe's return means that Nan Yi can be freed from specific affairs.
Before, Han Zhenhe stayed in Mumbai and watched India's affairs. Until a few days ago, the Indian strategy group jointly formed by the Intellectual Policy Committee, Nan Office and Xiao Nan Office [Nan Ruoyan] was on track, and Nan Yi summoned him back.
The Nan family's development foundation in India has been consolidated, and then it is waiting for the Indian economy to open up. Nan Yi will return to Mumbai and complete what it should be done.
...
As time goes by March, the third social event that Nanyi pays attention to has resulted, and Lithuania becomes independent.
On the other hand, the shipments in Haitang Trade increased by more than 30% since mid-February. Nan Yi only paid attention to the reports and did not point fingers in specific matters. If he was not on the front line, he would not learn from the wise Zhuge Wolong to come up with any tricks.
Han Zhenhe is here, and Nan Yi's not much workload is shared. Billion International has already set foot on the track and forged ahead along the right path. It is impossible to become a fat man in the short term. This year or in the next three years, there are three main tasks: building a strong team, developing new customers, and maintaining old customers.
Foreign trade business is easy to replicate. In the foreseeable future, when hundreds of millions of international elderly people are full of wings, someone will definitely jump out to open their own companies. As they leave, some customers will naturally be lost. This problem is unsolvable. The core figures have limited seats, and Nanyi cannot meet everyone's rising expectations at all.
If someone leaves, someone needs someone to come. As long as you reach a relative balance between going and coming, the team will not collapse. Therefore, New World needs a healthy employment mechanism and a capable hr team.
Of course, it is too early to say that the team is at its current scale. Nanyi can fully combine personnel work. It will not be too late to consider setting up a personnel position in the middle of the year.
There is no hurry to have personnel positions, but it is a bit urgent to establish other positions and company structures. Nanyi plans to set up a departmental structure of Yiwan International according to the template of a large trading company. He will now build a departmental structure of Yiwan International according to the general manager of the department in charge of finance and company development strategy, deputy general manager in charge of import, export business, administrative and other departments, business department, quality inspection department, freight department [customs declaration, commodity inspection, booking, storage and transportation], procurement department, overseas business department, and several auxiliary departments, and he will build it step by step.
Even if there is only one person in a department, you must set up a stand-up first to let the company get used to the daily life of departmental collaboration.
Several recruitment notices were posted in Triangle Pool. On the day that the post was posted, someone came over for an interview, and there were quite a lot of people coming, and there were a lot of people. Nan Yi asked Song Jia to be responsible for the reception, Zhao Jinshui was responsible for the first meeting, and he himself was responsible for the last screening process.
After three days of continuous visits, Nan Yi read many resumes and met many interviewers. In his spare time, he had to sigh that the programmer's recruitment notice was exactly the same as not posting. As soon as he left for half a month, he received three letters. The answers to one of the questions showed the strong sense of learning and selling. He stopped recruiting programmers in Coconut City.
Twenty days passed in a flash, and seven houses on the first floor of the New World were used. Two were also separated from the second floor, one of Zhao Jinshui's office. Nan Yian was regarded as the finance office in his position as the deputy general manager. Nan Yi himself served as the finance section chief and accountant. Song Jia served as half a cashier. Usually, some small expenses in the company left her directly.
The position of the head of the finance section has given Nan Yi a headache. It is difficult to find reliable and strict people. Besides, without at least one year of in-depth understanding, Nan Yi dared not hand over his money to others. It is impossible for hundreds of millions of international finance departments to have too many personnel, and there is no condition to build a system of cross-supervision and separation of money accounts.
Headache, Nanyi is really a headache. This is a super problem. Even if the Coconut City Branch of Nanguo Bank starts to operate, it cannot be solved. The account opening bank of mainland companies must be a national bank. It cannot be a foreign bank like Nanguo Bank. If you want to add a security lock to the bank, you can't.
When he was able to see March away after trembling again, Liu Xin brought him to Nanyi's office.
Ma Yiyu, the office director of the Coconut City Land and Resources Bureau, had a career that was not very smooth. Liu Xindong asked inquire about it and learned that there was such a person. After a period of encouragement, Ma Yiyu became the intention to go into the business.
Nan Yi had a chat with Ma Yiyu and was quite satisfied with him, especially his unit, and the needs of Nan Yi should not be too consistent.
Therefore, Green Nuclear Development has added a new recruit and an inconsistent real estate department. Ma Yiyu and Du Tiangong are both staff members of this department, and Ma Yiyu serves as deputy manager.
With Ma Yiyu's addition, Nan Yi's level of knowledge has reached a higher level.
Since the establishment of Qiong Province, real estate companies have soared to more than 300, and many companies have considerable strength. Huandao Group is a group company with a background in Beijing. Many of the land on Haidian Island have entered its pockets. Hong Kong and Macao companies occupy the Hong Kong and Macao industrial zones and sea view bay. Zhujiang Industrial came to Coconut City with avant-garde experience in the Yangcheng area. Longzhu New City has a good location and a cooperative way, and its operation method does not follow the crowd. It has its own way.
The financial and trade zones and Jinpan Development Zone are all very good real estate projects. With very obvious government behavior, many of the good land in Coconut City have been in the hands of various government and enterprises. The real estate in Coconut City has appeared, and the prairie fire is set off and the east wind is waiting for.
A few years ago, Nanyi asked Du Tiangong to learn autocad. At this time, the software functions on the market were not too powerful and were easier to get started. Du Tiangong quickly learned to create a base map of Coconut City's real estate layout for Nanyi. It was very simple, but also very useful. Nanyi marked the real estate projects, industrial areas, and land sold on the map.
The first day of April is also a festival.
Cheng Hainan appeared.
He dressed five or six people, counting from head to toe, and could not stop him from five thousand.
Money is a man's courage, which is different from the last time he saw Nan Yi. Cheng Hainan, who came this time, exuded confidence all over his body. Without Nan Yi's invitation, he sat down opposite Nan Yi.
With a squeak, he opened the zipper of his handbag and slapped a stack of banknotes on Nanyi's desk.
"I, Cheng Hainan, don't want to owe everyone favors. You found the relationship between Nanhai Development Group for me. Here is 50,000 yuan, which I will repay you with favors."
Cheng Hainan spoke strongly, with arrogance on his forehead, which was quite like a returnee who had run away in a hurry and was like a returnee team who would be shot back. There was also the confidence that I was already a rich man.
Nan Yi's eyes left the computer screen, glanced at Cheng Hainan faintly, looked down, and counted the banknotes again - 50,000 yuan, mixed with new and old, with a denomination of one hundred, no number.
"If you come to me for this, there is no need to do so. Sorry, I'm very busy today and don't have time to entertain you. I'll bring your money and don't give it away."
Nan Yi said calmly, lowered his head and continued to study the map.
Nan Yi's disdainful attitude towards him made Cheng Hainan furious. He stood up suddenly, "Sir Nan, don't forget what I said. Qiongdao is a place that can create miracles. Sooner or later, I will make you kneel down and beg me. Then I will help you once."
