small business

Chapter 103
Abu contacted his family's company and asked his investment consultant to disclose his intention to invest in Chinese lock companies to the investment promotion department and Xing Yifeng, the chairman of the group who took over Guochen Lock Industry, through formal channels, and expressed his willingness to help develop from Markets from the Middle East to the whole of Europe.

Two days later, Abu brought his full set of people, accompanied by the person in charge of local investment promotion, to Guochen Lock Industry, which is now the only three lock core factories of Xing Group.

Because he moved to real estate for many years, except for the three lock factories bought from Fei Yiban's house, the zinc alloy locks that Xing's Group mainly operates are all outsourced OEMs.

The advantage of outsourcing foundry is that it can greatly save costs.

The disadvantages are also obvious, the quality is extremely unstable.

Especially the gap between different foundries.

When you buy it is the same brand, when you use it, the quality depends on luck.

This makes some lock cylinders simply not meet the requirements of foreign trade orders.

Some are not exported, and some are returned after the inspection fails.

This is actually a very troublesome thing.

That's why Xing's Group moved to real estate.

When real estate is good, the income from locks has accounted for less than 5% of the revenue.

Many secondary industry transformation real estate companies have had such glorious moments.

However, the risk of real estate is not on the same level as that of factories.

If you are not careful, you will be lost forever.

In the past two years, with the failure of real estate investment, Xing's Group has almost built its foundation.

As the founder of the Xing Group, Xing Yifeng learned from the painful experience and decided to start the lock market again.

The acquisition of Guochen Lock Industry was vigorously promoted by Xing Yifeng.

At the beginning, the board of directors did not agree with his acquisition plan because they were worried that it would make the group's already tight cash flow worse.

Xing Yifeng resisted all opinions and emphasized Guochen Lock's overseas channels in the board of directors.

It is hoped that through mergers and acquisitions, it can steadily occupy the markets in the Middle East and Europe.

In the end, it still failed to pass the board of directors.

The technological leadership of Guochen Lock Industry in the industry is obvious to all.

The sale price will also be higher.

It is beyond the scope of the Xing Group's safe operation.

Until the factory manager Fei was kidnapped, Ms. Han was in a hurry to make a move, and the price dropped by several hundred million at once, as long as she could make up enough ransom.

Xing Yifeng seized the right time to make a move, and during the final negotiation process, another [-] million was suppressed.

At a price of 11 billion, a factory worth 18 billion was won.

No matter how you calculate this account, it is a good deal.

If the handover and all subsequent production goes well.

Now the problem is.

The OEM lock cylinder does not meet the requirements of the export order.

The lock cylinders produced by Guochen Lock Industry are all produced according to the highest standards, no matter how the order conditions change, they can meet the standards, but the cost has not been kept down.

Exports are at most capital-guaranteed, and there is no money at all.

At most, it is just running water.

Then, the house leaked and it rained all night.As time went by, the Xing Group was also included in the anti-dumping list.

When the factory manager Fei was there, because of cost control, he exported from the country and added anti-dumping duties, so it will look like he will be able to protect his capital.

If it was not for the purpose of avoiding anti-dumping, Fei Guochen would not go to Turkey to build a factory.

After Lin Congyi took over, the cost soared sharply.

Anti-dumping said OnePlus, the profit dropped to negative.

The more you do, the more you lose.

Not to mention opening up overseas markets, keeping the original orders has become a big problem.

Xing Yifeng realized the difficulty of opening a factory again belatedly.

Up to now, the production lines of these three factories have been shut down seven or eight times.

On the matter of changing production, Xing Yifeng was not in a hurry.

Without an order, even if the production is changed, it cannot be sold.

Real estate is difficult, and factories are also difficult.

Each family has its own difficulties, and the difficulties are not the same.

Just as it is difficult not to go public, it is also difficult to go public.

The most difficult thing for Xing Yifeng now is what to do with the next financial report.

The chairman of the listed group must be responsible for the financial report.

If the financial report is not good, the stock price will plummet.

He has more things to worry about now - how to explain to the board of directors.

Xing Yifeng started out as a locksmith, and he founded the Xing Group.

After the company went public, there were many members of the board of directors representing the capital.

These people don't care what business the company does, they only care about whether the stock price can rise and whether they can pay dividends this year.

Xing Yifeng was under a lot of pressure.

Those who originally opposed the acquisition of Guochen Locks directly pointed their finger at him.

If it weren't for the fact that Guochen Lock's land and factory buildings were already very valuable, he might not have been able to keep his position as chairman.

Following in the footsteps of Qiao Gangzhu, he became another founder who was kicked out of the company he founded.

Qiao Gangzhu can come back, that is to have absolute ability and strength to lay the groundwork.

There is no such possibility for Xing Yifeng.

Abu's people investigated Xing Yifeng to the bottom.

It is also based on this premise that Abu contacted the Xing Group through formal investment channels to express his intention for investment and market expansion.

For Xing Yifeng, this was a timely help.

……

The arrival of Abu was received with the highest standard.

Xing Yifeng brought a group of high-level executives to greet him at the gate of the factory.

Lin Congyi, who took the title of chief engineer and worked as a decoration worker, was at the bottom of the line.

In a trance, make up the number.

Abu asked the driver to park the car at the end of the queue.

When I got out of the car and saw Lin Congyi, my first reaction was to be stunned.

Considering Abu's acting skills honed over time in the drama club, this stun was as unexpected as it could be.

Soon, Abu reacted.

Before the official entourage started to introduce, they came up directly, gave Lin Congyi a warm hug after reunion after a long absence, and then said a few words.

Xing Yifeng was also stunned.

He was really stunned, so stunned that he was a little shocked.

He couldn't understand what Abu and Lin Congyi were talking about, and was only surprised that Lin Congyi had such a good personal relationship with Middle Eastern investors!

Fortunately, he didn't fire Lin Congyi in a fit of anger.

As a management team, Xing Yifeng likes to recruit talents in an eclectic manner.

If you can't do the work of the chief engineer, but you can do the work of attracting investment, that is also very good.

Xing Yifeng had the urge to reuse Lin Congyi, and reassessed his decision to return to the chief engineer's dormitory tomorrow.

As long as it can bring bright spots to the financial report, it doesn't matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can attract investment, it is a good cat.

Abu accompanying translator starts working at this time:
"Mr. Abu said that he was very happy to see Mr. Lin again. Last time I saw you, you were the manager of his brother's factory in Turkey. This time, there is such a large factory area. Mr. Abu did not expect this Mr. Lin's factory also said that since his brother's family had an accident, he was unwilling to contact him, which made Mr. Abu very hurt. I don't know if you have any news about his brother."

As soon as the translated passage comes out.

Xing Yifeng and the person in charge of investment promotion who accompanied him all realized that it was an oolong.

Abu only used two sentences to make the situation on the scene extremely complicated.

First of all, Xing Yifeng, whose chairman position was already precarious, was left out.

In addition to Lin Congyi, the chief engineer, the Xing Group dispatched several high-level executives to meet Abu's motorcade at the gate.

Lin Congyi took the position of chief engineer and knew some English, so he got this opportunity.

The rest of the people are those with relatively strong opposition in the board of directors.

Xing Yifeng hopes that with the arrival of investors from the Middle East, they can have more confidence in him.

Abu ignored him as soon as he came up, and the explanation afterwards seemed to be an oolong, but for these people who already had opinions on Xing Yifeng, it was another situation.

It's hard not to let Xing Yifeng feel a thorn in his heart.

Secondly, Abu explained the relationship between himself and Fei Yiban very clearly one by one [my brother].

In this way, Xing Yifeng inevitably felt a little uneasy.

If the Middle East investor knew that this factory area belonged to his "lost contact" brother, he didn't know if he would have other ideas.

Soon, with the joint efforts of the person in charge of the investment promotion department and the translator, Abu figured out that Xing Yifeng was the person in charge of the lock factory.

Abu expressed apology for the oolong incident.

Then his concern became how to contact Fei Yiban: "Lin, do you have my brother's current contact information, he changed his phone number, I don't know where he lives, my brother Fei Class [-], how is he doing?"

Lin Congyi was a little dazed.

From the second he saw Abu, he lost his language function.

Abu's words are very ordinary, and he communicated with Lin Congyi in the same way when he was in Istanbul.

【Fei Yiban】These three words are spoken very slowly and in a standard way, even Xing Yifeng can guess what Abu is asking.

Lin Congyi's English, which fluctuates from good to bad, is now in a [broken] state.

The translator translated it twice, but Lin Congyi didn't respond.

Xing Yifeng had to remind him: "Ask you, do you know the current contact information of Fei Yiban?"

Lin Congyi still didn't respond.

Abu was visibly unhappy.

Xing Yifeng quickly answered the call: "Mr. Abu, I have the contact information of your brother and mother. I can help you get in touch."

After listening to the translation, Abu didn't answer.

The expression is also faint, a look of complete disinterest.

Xing Yifeng thought about it, but he didn't want to understand it, but subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

So he quickly thought of another way: "Oh, yes, there is also Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng must have the contact information of Fei Yiban."

After finishing speaking, Xing Yifeng asked Secretary Dong to find Meng Tongxin.

During the waiting process, Xing Yifeng also introduced that this factory area originally belonged to Fei Yiban's family.

The factory was sold to Fei Yiban because of his father's death.

Since the Middle Eastern investors who came here today are brothers of Fei Yiban, they must not be able to hide this kind of thing.

It will be discovered sooner or later, so it is better to say it openly.

Anyway, the whole handover process between Han Yuxin and him was quite pleasant.

Including the idea of ​​changing production, there was no conflict when he communicated with Han Yuxin.

Han Yuxin also thanked him for keeping his promise.

Before making the call, Xing Yifeng also thought about whether it was necessary.

Now I am very grateful for my decision a few days ago.

There has never been any conflict between him and Han Yuxin.

It is a normal business practice to lower the price during urgent sales.

As a businessman, there is nothing wrong with seeking to maximize the benefits of business.

After all, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If Han Yuxin disagrees, he will not be able to buy the factory.

Thinking about it this way, Xing Yifeng didn't have any psychological pressure.

Instead of hiding it and waiting for Abu to find out by himself, he might as well tell the whole story himself.

A group of people came to the conference room.

The original meeting agenda was set, but none of it was carried forward.

Meng Tongxin ran over panting.

After clarifying the situation, follow Xing Yifeng's instructions.

In front of Abu, he turned on the speakerphone and called Fei Yiban.

Abu asked Fei Yiban to come and meet him.

Fei Yiban was surprised to hear Abu's voice from Meng Tongxin's phone.

After hesitating for a while, even though he knew it was his brother looking for him, he still refused.

Fei Yiban said that the factory area had his original house, his original home.

I was afraid of hurting the scene, so I didn't want to come here.

If you really want to meet, let Abu go to Yijia Village to find him after talking about the business.

Abu stood up and was about to leave.

Abu asked the translator to explain it for him.

Because of the unexpected situation, he is more worried about his brother's situation, and he is not in the mood to talk about investment now.

Meng Tongxin's phone has not been hung up yet.

Xing Yifeng spoke directly to Meng Tongxin's phone: "What's so exciting about this, Xiao Fei."

As soon as he came up, he used a very friendly address.

Showing the love of the elders for the younger ones.

Xing Yifeng has also worked hard in the mall for many years.

Know that kindness alone is of no use.

After saying hello, he immediately began to propose solutions to the problem: "This is Xiaofei, after you and Mr. Han moved out, your house in the factory area has been under renovation, and no one has lived in it until now. If you have feelings for this house, you can come back to live there at any time. There is no need to get hurt at all."

"How do you live here? Uncle Xing, hasn't this house already been turned into the chief engineer's dormitory?" Class Fei's words of Uncle Xing shortened the distance between him and Xing Yifeng.

It also showed that he did not regard Xing Yifeng as an enemy.

This point is very important to Xing Yifeng.

It also made him more confident to say the next thing: "The chief engineer's dormitory is just a theory. This house was not originally included in any agreement. Uncle Xing can still have the final say on the use of the house. If you really can't let it go , it’s okay to return the house to you later.”

This sentence is a temptation, but it can also be a waste of money.

If Abu really wants to invest, Xing Yifeng doesn't mind spending a lot of money.

Xing Yifeng is not worried that the board of directors will disagree with his handling of Fei Yiban's house.

The villas in the factory area are not worth too much money.

It is definitely a very cost-effective deal to take such a house and reap the investment of wealthy businessmen in the Middle East.

What's more, originally, no money was spent to obtain this house.

It was a personal transaction between him and Han Yuxin.

Han Yuxin did this to reassure Xing Yifeng.

It shows that she will not sell the factory, and will continue to dictate the affairs of the factory area.

If Abu's investment is just a lot of noise and a little bit of rain, that's easy to handle.

He can collect some [interest] when [repaying].

Buying and selling at normal market prices is also a form of [return].

After listening to the interpreter's explanation, Abu also began to persuade Fei Yiban in English: "My brother, come quickly, come and take a look. Take a look at your house, take a look at me, and show me your house." s home."

When Abu talks to Fei Yiban on the phone, there is no need for someone to translate every sentence.

It is also not appropriate for the translator to intervene too much in the boss's private affairs at this time.

Abu's housekeeper took advantage of this time to explain to Xing Yifeng.

Fei Yiban and Abu have been roommates since middle school, and have lived together in Oxford for many years. They are not ordinary friends.

I don't know if the housekeeper didn't make it clear, or the translator didn't explain clearly. Xing Yifeng felt that the relationship between Fei Yiban and Abu was more complicated than he imagined.

Fortunately, he just subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he didn't call Han Yuxin directly.

Otherwise, it might be a big mess.

Xing Yifeng is fortunate that he understands the world of young people better than ordinary people.

After rejecting it twice, Fei Yiban was finally persuaded by Xing Yifeng and Abu and agreed to come from Yijia Village.

It takes more than three hours to drive from Yijia Village to the factory.

For such a long period of time, Abu will definitely stay in the factory area.

Xing Yifeng wanted to fight for it the most, and it was like this for a whole period of time.

Three hours is enough to complete the previously agreed agenda.

Determine initial investment intentions.

Regardless of whether it can be achieved in the end, as long as the news is released, the stock price will definitely rise.

Those who don't understand English only know that Abu agreed to start the original meeting agenda.

People who understand English, such as Lin Congyi, went straight into a state of madness.

From the second Meng Tongxin hung up the phone, Lin Congyi kept asking Xing Yifeng: "Didn't it be agreed that the house will be the dormitory for the chief engineer?"

The first time, Xing Yifeng ignored it, so he asked the second and third times.

Xing Yifeng was so entangled that he had no choice but to get up and leave the conference room.

Without a time bomb like Lin Congyi being dealt with, it would be difficult for the meeting to proceed effectively.

Lin Congyi chased after him like crazy, and emphasized again: "Boss Xing, we clearly agreed!"

"What's the matter with you? Do you know what the big picture is?"

When the people in the meeting room couldn't hear him, Xing Yifeng asked directly: "Have you done what the chief engineer did? Just ask for the chief engineer's dormitory."

"However, I have always paid for the decoration of that house."

"That house was not a rough one. The conditions are so good. You can live in it immediately. Did I say that I will replace all the furniture for you? You insist on redecorating, and of course you have to pay for it yourself."

"But, this is the chief engineer's dormitory we agreed upon."

"Where is the agreement? You don't want to get compensation from me for decoration, do you?"

Xing Yifeng laughed back angrily: "I really wish we had an agreement that was clearly written in black and white. If you can't use the patent left by Director Fei and your father, how much will you have to pay me!"

Meng Tongxin came out at this time.

Abu wants to know what Xing Yifeng and Lin Congyi said.

At this moment, compared to the people around Abu, it is the most normal thing for him, a driver who was not on the list of participants, to come out after completing the task of making a phone call assigned by the boss.

Meng Tongxin heard Lin Congyi say: "I don't want compensation, I just want the chief engineer's dormitory."

I heard Xing Yifeng say again: "I can't explain it to you, can I? If you think it's the chief engineer's dormitory, it's fine. From now on, you're not the chief engineer. Is that okay?"

Xing Yifeng turned around and left, but Lin Congyi blocked his way: "No!"

Just at this time, Xing Yifeng saw Meng Tongxin coming out of the conference room.

After listening to Han Yuxin's suggestion, leaving Meng Tongxin as the driver was probably one of the most correct decisions he made.

Xing Yifeng explained with a sigh of relief: "Xiao Meng, get Lin Congyi out of here quickly. The investor hasn't left, so don't let him come out to make trouble. After this matter is over, I'll settle it with him."
