What Zhao Mingyang said seemed to be dismissive of the hypocrisy of a business partner, and he just wanted to invite him to celebrate the old man's birthday and gain a share.
Zhang Zifeng was lying on the bed looking at his mobile phone and said: "My brother, the world is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relations. People can also directly say to send money, the more the better. My old man has passed his life, and I want to take part in it."
You have money, this tells you how you feel.
Moreover, most of them don’t care about money, they just want to show off their face. When we celebrate the birthday of the elderly over there, they like to put dozens of tables in the open air to start with. Sometimes some people will rent an open space and set up hundreds of tables.
, just want a scene.
If you are too straightforward, unless you are close friends and relatives who can speak briefly, otherwise no matter what you say, you will not be able to speak well and you will definitely have to go around in circles until you get to the point.
There are ninety-nine polite words in one hundred sentences. One key word. The polite words are to ease the embarrassment. You see, you are not polite and you even cook a few dishes and drink them with others. You really know how to cook. Come on.
It’s not time to go to a restaurant to eat, so I think it’s good to be polite. At least everyone will understand and it won’t be awkward.”
"You're right. It's embarrassing if you're not polite. You said I should give you a big red envelope, or buy a gift? How much is appropriate? The other party is a big customer of mine, and they are also rich. I'll give you 10,000 yuan.
Eight less is more?" Zhao Mingyang and his little cousin began to discuss how to celebrate Grandma Xu Qingqing's birthday.
It looks like an old couple discussing things. If the little cousin knows who Zhao Mingyang celebrates his birthday, he can probably give himself a few slaps. Why do you talk so much nonsense! To understand others is to wrong yourself.
The little cousin began to give Zhao Mingyang advice. After all, the little cousin was from there. Zhao Mingyang also asked his son-in-law and grandson-in-law how much they would give as gifts. Should Zhao Mingyang be like them? Especially when he said that he and the old man's grandson-in-law had the same seniority. This partner
He is the grandson of an old man, but the grandson is the recipient of gifts. Would it be better for him to go out like this with the grandson-in-law of the old man?
The little cousin gave Zhao Mingyang some opinions. The two discussed it carefully and decided that no one should be missing from the gift.
"I'm going to discuss some projects with R's clients at noon. You can eat by yourself at noon. I'll contact you later. You can help me prepare a well-planned gift. I'll bring it to the old man on the 5th of next month.
" Zhao Mingyang said.
"No problem, I'll buy you a decent gift, and I'll make sure you're happy with it," Zhang Zifeng said.
Zhao Mingyang left the folk customs and left the car with his little cousin. He took a car and went straight to the high-speed rail station. The area where Ito Eiko lived was more than half an hour away by car. It was near the industrial park and it only took ten minutes to take the high-speed rail.
minute.
At this time, Sioux City and Shanghai City have entered the era of comprehensive high-speed rail. Many cities have not yet entered the era of green trains.
After Zhao Mingyang arrived at the station, Lao Wu was waiting for him in the parking lot. Zhao Mingyang drove the big G straight to where Eiko Ito was, which was still ten minutes' drive from the high-speed rail station.
After Zhao Mingyang drove to his destination, he saw Ito Eiko standing in front of a factory with an unhappy look on his face. Zhao Mingyang stopped the car and Ito Eiko opened the door and got in the car.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Mingyang started the car and drove back to the hotel.
Ito Eiko said angrily: "I'm angry, Ming Yang-kun, for the first time I understand a Chinese saying: There are things to do and things to do outside."
"What's wrong?" Zhao Mingyang asked.
"I came here this time to help my uncle investigate. My grandfather bought the factory here by the river in the 1990s. It has more than 200 acres of land. It was originally purchased for about 10 million, and it cost more
We spent more than 10 million to build a factory and buy equipment. We have been operating here for more than ten years. Now the market value of this factory is almost 1.4 billion. It is a very important industry for our family," said Eiko Ito.
Zhao Mingyang listened. Zhao Mingyang saw this Japanese company. It should have been renovated and built for the second time. It looks really large-scale, and it is very close to Shanghai. It only takes about half an hour to get to Shanghai by bus. You can drive it yourself.
It takes another twenty minutes to arrive. Although we are in the suburbs, it is also the suburbs of Shanghai. This industrial park is also known as the back garden of Shanghai, where companies from all over the world are located.
Not to mention that this factory can be sold for () 1.4 billion, they won't sell it for 2 billion, because there is no more complete industrial chain in the world than here, with one-stop design, production, processing, transportation and export.
, the cost is extremely low and the profit margin is high. Many companies here came here in the 1980s and early 1990s, and one company after another is stationed in various places in Sioux City.
Although many jokes on the Internet say that Sioux City is the strongest prefecture-level city, except for a few municipalities that can compete with it, there are really few that are more powerful than it, but it does not have an airport.
In fact, there is really no need. It is too close to Shanghai. There are airports in several cities next door. Suzhou is strong because there are so many Fortune 500 people here. In the end, it can no longer accommodate it, and then it spreads to several surrounding cities.
, each of these cities is also a member of the trillion-dollar GDP club. In fact, Sioux City cannot be regarded as a city. If the surrounding cities are included to form a complete ecosystem, this ecosystem will be too strong.
And all of this relies on Shanghai, an international city, the most recognized domestic city abroad, and also a financial center. The factories in this area are basically rarely used. This industrial circle is better than any other industrial circle in the world.
It is strong because it is not only supported by Su City, but also by areas such as Hangzhou and Yiwu next door. Companies in this area have not left here for decades.
But there is also a BU***. This is also a dilemma faced by foreign companies, that is, people sent from outside the headquarters. After many of them have worked here for a long time and gained power, they begin to win over people from the companies here and do not listen to the headquarters, but only listen to them.
As for the person in charge here, it won't be easy for anyone to come.
Most of the people in charge here will ignore the head office and make this place their own. The most direct way is to control the source, such as purchasing the raw materials needed by the factory, and directly register a shell company to do outsourcing.
When an order is placed, the outsourcing company takes the order and finds the foundry to manufacture it. After the foundry is completed, it is delivered. For example, the foundry originally only costs one yuan for a part, but the outsourcing price is two yuan. In the end, the company is hollowed out.
Ito Eiko is most likely here to check this. The company's profit margin has plummeted, and the economy in this area is very stable. It has been growing steadily but profits have declined. It can only be said that the financial situation is in trouble.
"Have you encountered any problems?" Zhao Mingyang asked.
"Well, I came here to check on the finance. The finance director is on annual leave. Isn't this a lie to fools? I want to see the financial report, and it says that the financial report has been taken away for audit. They asked me to wait, and they will give it to me in January at the earliest.
What I got after one month must have been revised. To be precise, they have already completed the revision. This month they are probably re-examining which buildings are being repaired. When it was finally given to me, I couldn't see anything.
The person in charge here is a member of our family. Now he is chatting with me. When I ask him anything, he talks in all directions. I have long heard that he has another family here, and this person
I haven’t gone back for three years. This time I sent a message asking him to go back. I sent him several emails and corporate job announcements asking him to go back. He said he still had some unfinished business and arranged for several people to come over and cooperate with him, but they were basically pushed out.
Or become his person." Ito Eiko said.
"You are trying to cut off people's wealth. Who will give you a good look? But this is not difficult to break." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Does Mr. Mingyang have a way?" Ito Eiko looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked expectantly.
"Yes, Eiko encounters a problem, how could I not help you?" Zhao Mingyang said, he probably understood the purpose of Ito Eiko's coming. This is a broken pot, that is, the people who were sent before returned without success. Objectively
To put it bluntly, the Ito family probably earns a large part of their income here. The value of 1.4 billion mentioned before is the land and factory buildings, not counting the company's performance.
But there is a problem here now. The corporate headquarters has been isolated here and cannot handle and participate in corporate management work here.
Why can't it be handled? Because if it's not handled well, the company here may be at risk of direct bankruptcy. We can still make money now, but if we don't make money, it will be miserable, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Why can't we make any profit? From production to sales, everything is in the hands of the team here. They can directly lead everyone to start a new business, leaving an empty space for the Ito family. In the end, they can only sell the land. This is not worth the gain, and it is a one-time operation.
How can you make more money by trading in the long term?
Now we can only talk and see how the other party can hand over management rights.
The people sent by () before were all said to have failed. When Ito Eiko came over, most likely her family thought it was just to fill up the numbers, to practice, and then go on a trip.
But if Zhao Mingyang helps Ito Eiko complete this difficult task, her status in the family will skyrocket. As long as she is busy, she will have no time to pester Zhao Mingyang and can do many things for Zhao Mingyang.
"Your starting point is wrong, you know?" Zhao Mingyang said while driving.
"What's the wrong starting point?" Eiko Ito asked.
"You always regard this matter as an internal conflict within the family. Your relative and your family may have some influence locally, but on a global scale, in our great country of China, you are nothing more than a business family. Don't think so.
So noble.
You always take the family as the starting point, what can you talk about? Parents are short-sighted. There is a saying that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters. This is a household matter. This is your biggest mistake, a household matter? Is this it? Obviously not, this is
It's the company's business.
What is a company? It operates under the law. You should seek legal help, not your family to deal with it. We are a society ruled by law. What should you do? What should you do? Use the law to punish them.
"
"How to use legal sanctions?" Ito Eiko asked.
"With a few simple steps, anything can be faked, but they will write down the companies and enterprises they cooperate with. You can check the legal persons and shareholders of these enterprises to see if there is any overlap, and then compare the information of this circle of people with the
Compare it with all the senior management of your factory.
This is much simpler. If there is a recurring relationship, just check it out, and then seek legal help, that is, report them for corruption. Many large companies here will report some people in the procurement department for corruption, and the rest will
Let the law investigate what happened.
If your relative commits adultery, he will be held accountable according to law. Don’t worry about any losses to your property. You should quickly take over the property left by the person who disposed of it, and arrange for people from the original company to be promoted to responsible positions.
Just deal with the original work and channels, this is not difficult.
But if you always deal with it as a family matter, this matter will never be handled well or finished. This is not a family matter anymore. Do you understand? Let’s change your thinking. Why haven’t your family thought about this before? First, for us
I don’t understand it at all here, and some people’s minds are still stuck in the past.
Secondly, people in your family feel that this matter can be handled easily, which is why it is getting more and more serious. To put it more bluntly, there are people in the middle to support this matter. This is the key point. In terms of benefit distribution, your uncle and your aunt may both
Not Yixin, let alone the people on your uncle’s side and your aunt’s family.
Some of these people know that it is wrong to do so, but they must insist on handling it as a family matter, because this is the way to maximize their interests. If you want to block their interests, you must convert this matter from a family matter to a business matter.
Corruption issues should be handled by the law. This is very simple. If your finances are not handed over to you, how dare you not hand them over to law enforcement officials?
In order to avoid this situation happening again, it is best to allocate some equity to the industry here, supervise it from multiple parties, and introduce some local shareholders or investment companies. Only in this way can you solve the problem that you are not here and you are not afraid of being corrupted.
Under the management of professional managers, you also become shareholders and wait for dividends. When the equity is sold, you can get a large amount of money, which can be used for other purposes, or you can only sell a few shares and recruit more supervisors. "
Eiko Ito was suddenly enlightened, but then quickly fell into deep thought and said, "Has anyone used this method before?"
"No, the answer is yes. There is a problem with this. The people you send, just like the people our company has arranged to work in the United States, have a problem. They have poor cognition. They must seek
You need the help of local people, and you even need to be familiar with the local culture, otherwise some simple things will become complicated. Coupled with the differences in languages, it is very likely that the translation process has been deliberately complicated, and the translation will be inaccurate and
Without guidance, mistakes will occur and market awareness will be insufficient.
Unless the first group of people who came to your family will get to know each other quickly, why didn’t those people come over?"
"My grandfather () was the first one to come here. He passed away many years ago. After that, my uncle came to inspect it for a few months and then went back. Then he arranged for others to come over. There has been no problem. It was only in the past few years that problems appeared." Ito Eiko
said.
Zhao Mingyang probably understood that he had delegated more power and became the boss, let alone them. Wang Wanke had delegated more power at the beginning and concentrated on dating. When the relationship was over, the company was gone, and the company he built was kicked out and completely ignored.
.
This is the fault of the head of the family. Uncle Ito Eiko may have naturally become the head of the family because he is the eldest son, but he may not be suitable. He can make such fatal mistakes. It can only be said that his ability is limited and he does not have the ability to take the helm.
qualifications,.
"You should tell your father about this plan first." Zhao Mingyang nodded at Eiko Ito. Don't tell your uncle. If you do this and your father agrees, you may have to use this opportunity to pull your uncle down?
Eiko Ito nodded and sent a message to her father.
"Well, I will arrange a group of people for you to help you handle this matter. I am busy recently, but I can help you find a lawyer and a translator, so that you can visit some partners and investigate some things on the spot, but you
I have to run around here and there."
"Thank you so much, Ming Yang-kun. I'm not afraid of running around. I'm just afraid of returning without success." Ito Eiko said.
"Well, after your father replies to you, I will immediately arrange for someone to investigate this matter with you sooner rather than later. You have already alerted the enemy. It is best to race against time with the other party." Zhao Mingyang wanted to get Ito Eiko busy quickly.
