Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1609 Risk
Duan Yun’s idea is to go to Sweden’s Volvo to conduct a survey first, and to negotiate the reception of the heavy-duty truck production line. If the other party is willing to sell their heavy-duty truck production line at a reasonable price, then Duan Yun will fund the introduction of this production line to China. .

But if the other party is unwilling to sell, Duan Yun has another method, which is to invite Volvo to set up a joint venture factory in China. This is also the most common way for foreign car companies to enter the Chinese market.

Regarding the issue of joint ventures with auto companies, Duan Yun still has to discuss with the SY municipal government, because the most important consideration for European and American companies entering China to set up joint ventures is the support of the Chinese government. If private companies set up joint ventures with them, these foreign companies Usually not considered.

Of course, this still requires Duan Yun to go to Europe to investigate and negotiate in person. What kind of results can be achieved is still unknown.

"Are you going to go abroad to Sweden?" Cheng Qingyan said in surprise after learning that her husband planned to go to Sweden for investigation.

In Cheng Qingyan's understanding, Sweden is a very small country. Although it is also a developed capitalist country, it is far less powerful than Britain, France and Germany.

"I want to introduce a heavy truck production line from Sweden's Volvo Company. They are the most powerful truck company in Europe. If the price is reasonable, I will bring Volvo heavy trucks to China." Duan Yun said.

"How many dollars does it cost to introduce the production line?" Cheng Qingyan asked directly.

Cheng Qingyan has no objection to her husband's decision to get involved in the automobile industry. He is most concerned about how much foreign exchange it will cost to introduce foreign production lines.

Now half of the cash of the company that the husband and wife are in charge of respectively, Cheng Qingyan invests these funds in the real estate market and the stock market. In her opinion, real estate can make money much faster than the physical industry, especially in the past few years in Hong Kong and Hainan's real estate market has made a lot of money and tasted the sweetness, so it puts all its time and energy on real estate investment, and has already dismissed the real industry.

But the company is owned by husband and wife, Cheng Qingyan will not object to Duan Yun's plans, as long as he doesn't use his part of the working capital.

"The issue of the price of the production line has not yet been decided, and these have to be negotiated with Volvo, and whether they are willing to sell it is still a problem." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "And I still have to negotiate with the SY city government. While negotiating, if I can’t buy a complete set of production lines, I still need to discuss with Volvo about setting up a joint venture.”

"After all these years, you still want to build a car." Cheng Qingyan said with some emotion.

"In the past, it was not allowed by the policy, and I didn't have that much money. Now I finally have certain objective conditions." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "I will go to BJ at the beginning of next month to participate in the competition of domestic military vehicles. The bidding meeting, our country has never regarded private enterprises as the bidding objects for military products before, this is the first time in history, and it can be regarded as an honor..."

"Of course this is a good thing, but I think you have invested so much. If you fail to win the bid, spending so much money is not a waste of money." Cheng Qingyan was a little disapproving, and she continued: "And the country's military enterprises are so There are many, each of which is a large factory with tens of thousands of people. I think the country will not easily hand over orders to private enterprises like us in order to feed so many people. At best, it will let you have a mouthful of soup. It's really out of proportion..."

During these years of working hard in the business world, Cheng Qingyan has a good understanding of major domestic enterprises, and also has a certain sense of politics. In her opinion, her husband's participation in the bidding for military products is a bit unreliable.
State-owned enterprises all undertake important social functions. One military product order can support many employees of state-owned enterprises. Due to state secrets and social stability, it is impossible for the state and the military to hand over a large number of military product orders to private enterprises. Even if private enterprises have better technology and strength, this matter is determined by the nature and system of the country. On this point, Cheng Qingyan still has a clear understanding.

What's more, Cheng Qingyan is different from her husband in that she doesn't have so many feelings. She is now a pure businessman with a lot of experience. Everything is with profit as the primary goal. She wants to make money, the company needs to make money, and there are a lot of workers to support. , if the investment does not get a return or the return is too small, she will definitely not do it, not to mention whether her husband can win the bid is another matter.

"You don't understand what heavy trucks mean to China's future development? And this kind of thing has huge applications in the military field." Duan Yun glanced at his wife, and then said: "This bidding is a start. If we can Winning the bid is a very important victory, which is equivalent to setting a precedent. From now on, our company will not have such a big resistance when it enters the military industry..."

"Anyway, the company still needs to keep half of the cash for me to control, and the rest is up to you." Cheng Qingyan said.

When Cheng Qingyan said this, she obviously drew a "red line" for her husband. Her real estate business is getting bigger and bigger, and cash flow is also very important, so as long as her husband doesn't use her part of the cash, then Cheng Qingyan will not object to this. thing.

"Don't worry, I haven't even said anything about the production line. I have to go to BJ first, and then go abroad to Sweden for investigation. It will take at least two months to finish all the discussions. Besides, Shenyang Jinbei is not me. If a one-person enterprise purchases a production line, they will also have to pay part of the funds." Duan Yun said.

Although their current business ideas are somewhat different, Duan Yun still respects his wife's opinion. After all, when the two came to Shenzhen to start a business together, it took a lot of time and effort for the wife to make Tianyin Group so big.

"It's supposed to be like this. Why should we just ask us to pay for the purchase of the production line? Besides, they are the largest shareholders." Hearing Duan Yun's words, Cheng Qingyan's face immediately relaxed, and she continued: "By the way, this time Don’t forget to bring me some gifts when you go abroad. Watches, bags and cosmetics are all fine. You can buy them as long as you buy them. At that time, my mouth was like honey, but now I'm bored like an old man at home, I don't know what to say about you..."
